I Am the Only Non-Returner

145 – The Battle Line

[I’ve been in your care a few times before, but I don’t seem to remember. I was entrusted with the Destroying Dragon Hand Blade and the Rosherdin Schilli Sword.]

At my words, the dwarf stroked his matted beard and searched through his memories for a while, then spoke as if he had finally remembered something.

– I see! At that time, he was the one who inherited Rocher Dinn’s legacy… But if that’s the case, it’s even more unbelievable. Did you get out of that damned swamp of entertainment and ascend to godhood? No way!! This can’t happen.

– Master, didn’t you say that those who call themselves players can no longer escape slavery?

On the contrary, it made the two more confused, but he didn’t pay much attention to it and just quietly said what he wanted to say.

[I want to obtain equipment for 17 humans to wear. A full set.]

– Please wait a moment! I still have no idea what’s going on!

– Oh!! Anyway, it’s been a while since I placed a large order!! Master, can I try one too?

– Old time! Hey guy, just wait!

The dwarf closed his eyes for a moment, touched his chin, looked at me and said.

– What is its purpose? You’re probably not the one kicking it, are you? Doesn’t it make it better than what you’re wearing now… No… Damn it!! I’m so curious that I can’t wait!! What is that ridiculous quality armor you’re wearing? And why is it that my master’s working methods are imprinted on that armor?

‘Damn it, how would I know that? I tried to quickly request the equipment and leave, but tsk…’

[I just bought it, but I don’t know the details yet. Even with my abilities, I couldn’t see this. Anyway, can I do it or not? I’m still playing that damn game, so I have to go back.]

What the heck

Once again, the dwarves’ mouths were wide open at my words, and the girl frowned as if to tell me not to scold her.

But when I let out the chatter of the spectators in my head that I had blocked out, the dwarves quickly covered their ears and flopped down on the floor, flapping their legs.

– I understand!! I understand, so please turn off those damned tongues!

– Heeek…!

When I blocked the sound again, they both lay on the floor for a while, panting, and then looked at me as if they were shocked.

– It’s absurd that a player in the middle of a game steps into the realm of godhood. They have crossed dimensions, broken the barrier of our teacher’s workshop, and come in to order equipment? Today is the day when we have to say the words ‘God,’ that the damn Church of the God of Darkness is tired of saying.

Huuu

He took a deep breath, then looked up at me and said, while clutching the handle of the huge hammer.

– So, how much did you think about coming here?

* * *

“The spectators are slowly participating in the war.”

“I don’t think there are many seekers who are still strong enough to pass through a crack like this… Hmm-“

This place currently forms the center of the battle line, led by Kypenical and his five faithful bodyguards.

From the point where Kiphenical and Eun-gyeon met last time, it was a point that had been pushed back a long way to the place where Treval had formed the ‘Host’s Territory’ and was proceeding with the entertainment of 20685-Planet.

In fact, if the battle had been cool and they had been pushed out, Kypenical wouldn’t be so frustrated right now, as if his insides were filled with rocks.

“We just set a point and pushed in with the quantity, so there is no solution. Tsk…”

“Captain? What should I do? Hold on a little longer? There are only 5,000 Titans left!”

“I heard you told me to hold on at all costs. I have to follow Treval’s orders…”

“Dude, that’s something to be flexible about considering the situation. If you were just going to follow orders, why didn’t you leave your head behind? I hope you don’t get shot.”

“That’s just the way it is. Again, you’re holding your tongue.”

Kifenkal listened to the bickering of his men and carefully scanned the battlefield with [Judgment of the situation]. Then he chewed his lips for a while and eventually raised his right hand high in the sky.

“All troops retreat!! Move to A-3 area and begin preparations for a sit-in strike!!”

It was surprising that such a large number of troops remained in the entertainment field and even blocked the explorers in a place where there was virtually no chain of command called an army, but even so, Kiphenical’s taste was bitter.

There was something about the reckless rush of searchers, who constantly self-divided to the point of near infinity, that made people sick.

Of course, the Tuxedos probably used this strategy to aim for that.

‘What about 3 days? It’s going to be hard to last even one day…’

The only positive part is that the number of seekers watching Planet 20685 is huge, and many of them want to help in this fight.

Among them, those who are currently entering here are the ones with the least power, but the joining of those who have looked to Godhead will be of great strength.

Wooow-

At that moment, several seekers were joining the unit through a crack. It was embarrassing to see them retreating as soon as they arrived, but they seemed to not care about that and naturally ran towards Keypenical and greeted them.

“Are you the leader here?”

“Yes. First of all, thank you very much for coming to help.”

“There is no need to be formal while we are running like this. What is the size of the enemy?”

A noble gentleman wearing a bowler hat and a stylish bow tie asked about the size of the enemy, and Kippenical tried to say that he actually did not know. After swallowing it down his throat, he answered his question.

“There will be approximately 100,000 advanced or higher level explorers…”

Hwiikㅡ

A half-man, half-horse man with a mixture of a horse and a human figure, running next to the bowler hat gentleman, whistled. The meaning of those whistles would be that there are too many.

He was probably whistling and doing calculations in his head. Is this really true? Can we do it? Doing.

Of course, it’s not because they are afraid of advanced investigators or the like. However, it must be very scary when the moment comes when your magic power is exhausted and you can no longer fight. Because no one in this universe can use magical power infinitely.

Only after it is not the Creator God.

“The Freedom League will send additional golems. And the organizers’ subordinates who are playing around will soon join us.”

“hehehe, you don’t have to try to give us a hopeful outlook.”

“Yes, Kiphenical, I have heard of your reputation. You have contributed greatly to the secret organization created to prevent the Watchmen from attempting to escape their space.”

Behind the gentleman in the fedora and the half-man, half-horse man, a girl whose entire body was glowing purple mentioned the organization of Kiffenical.

“It’s an old story from a long time ago. Looking at the current situation, I’m acutely realizing that it didn’t mean much.”

“No… Cause and effect doesn’t work that way. As much as you suffered, a flower of hope must have bloomed somewhere and helped someone. I guarantee it.”

I haven’t seen them fight yet, but the impressions of the three who joined were surprisingly not bad.

The group of spectators, usually called seekers, often become corrupted by forgetting their original purpose and looking for only stimulating things during the years of eternity.

Perhaps because they were not yet dirty, a dazzle remained in their eyes.

‘Beings born in the inner world that was created in the beginning, discovered the essence of the world, its parts, and came out to the outside world to seek the truth… To the point where they realized that their world was being oppressed by someone from another dimension far away. ‘Those with strong mental power and insight.’

But what greeted them as they came out was only eternal darkness and the tiresome pursuit of explorers. The people who gave sweet fruit to those exhausted people and encouraged them to watch the game were also the highest rank of explorers who had cleverly changed their appearance, so it was truly ridiculous.

If he had come out of a properly constructed world into the outside world, he would have settled down in some dimension and opened his own dimension centered on the pillar of truth he had established and ascended to godhood.

On the other hand, those born in the outside world created after the ‘Chaos’ rebellion live their lives without knowing anything, and are forced to participate in the games of the designers at any time, and live the life of slaves, destined to suffer as they do now. I really wanted to ask what plan the absolute creator of this world had.

And the place where the people inside and the people from the outside world who had gone through the past before being transformed miraculously met and created a dimensional rift was the free city ‘Suvandust’. Because it was a city so secretly hidden that it eluded the eyes of explorers, it prospered for a while.

However, the Free City has now become an uninhabitable place for them, and the person who took its place is…

Wooow~

Kypenical woke up from his thoughts to the sound of space opening and crying.

– Open the cracks a little more to make it easier for seekers to come over!! Reinforce the 5th Titan unit here!!

– We haven’t seen anything wearing tuxedos yet, but advanced or higher level explorers are appearing one after another…

– There are many disruptions in the supply and demand of points. As the low-level explorers, who were the main source of supply, gathered in one place, it became difficult to hunt anymore…

Kypenical coolly ran a simulation by updating the forces of the suddenly intensified offensive forces, and as a result, found that they could not keep Treval’s request to stop them for three days.

“Tsk… 20 Dimensional expansion explosives are driven into the crack.”

Hearing those words, the youngest member of the guard with curly hair next to me said in surprise.

“Then they could take advantage of that gap and come over to us! The risk is too great! Let’s hold on just a little longer.”

“For now, get ready. Even if it’s not right away, you’ll probably be using it soon.”

“Ah… I understand.”

“Report this to the host. I will tell you the time to detonate the explosive, and do not hand over the seekers here before or after that time.”

‘If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to open a gap and bring them in. If Tankranku and Brother Hind stop us, we can buy more time.’

“I’ll do my little bit to help until they come.”

“······ Thank you.”

They were monsters who could read your mind just by looking at their facial expressions, but even they were just reassuring and grateful right now.

“Silver dog… Come quickly.”

Muttering that, he walked again to take his place in the center of the pentagram that his subordinates had drawn.

* * *

– Sir, please don’t do that.

The girl who had just looked at me as if I were a god from another world, when she saw the price I suggested, her face changed completely and she answered differently.

[No, I am giving you the highest quality material that has actually been prepared, but still, it is not possible at this price?]

I asked back as if it were absurd, but the two people in front of me just politely folded their hands in front and shook their heads slightly.

The amount I suggested is 15 million points per person, under the condition that we hand over all the equipment we currently have and purchase a full set per person.

But these damn blacksmiths held on, saying they couldn’t produce for that amount.

I used my magic to copy the material of the full-body armor fused with dragon scales close to the original, processed the raw materials for a practical version of full-body armor with only the necessary functions and removed the unnecessary functions, and showed them to them.

In fact, I even fantasized that if I just showed them that, they would start drooling and say they would do it for free, but contrary to my expectations, they turned out like this.

‘I want to make it myself, but it’s still difficult to achieve that level of precision. I can’t dress my kids in the crappy equipment I made. Ha… I guess there’s nothing we can do.’
