I Am the Only Non-Returner

159 – If you calmly lock them up

‘There’s something unusual about those guys… Why aren’t they attacking? Even though our power is powerful, it’s not yet at a level where they can be bothered, right?’

After sealing dozens of gray seekers, a lot of my magic power fell below 30%, so it wasn’t a bad situation for me as I was gaining some time to recover my magic power.

However, it would have been difficult to simply pass the time until the original sentinel arrived.

‘I want to save on integration, but I might have to use it if necessary…’

“Ringling, I’ll be back for a bit.”

“What? Where are you going again?”

“I need to get rid of more of those idiotic tuxedo-wearing guys. I tried to suck it up by fighting within the shelter’s defense range, but I heard that this is why I don’t like quick-witted guys. I’ve got some magic power, so don’t worry.”

Among the 80 or so red guys and dark blue tuxedos spread out in my field of vision, I designated the spot next to the red guy who was the most talkative and quickly folded the space and moved.

ㅡ!!

I expanded my magic power right before I moved, but as soon as I arrived, it exploded in the form of thorns in all directions.

Chachachachachachacha!!

Chaechaechaechaeng!!

But the magic thorn was easily blocked by the tuxedos.

[Kkekekekeut… Did you think this attack would work? How far are you going to underestimate us? Huh… What are you doing? Kill it!!]

The other searchers, who were glaring at the red tuxedo that had given the order at that moment, expressed their dissatisfaction but seemed like there was nothing they could do and began firing off a variety of attacks.

Attribute attacks such as fire, water, wind, earth, plants, sun, metal, light, and dark poured in without any time lag.

In response, I was just silently blocking with dodge and shield without any special skills.

Each time it was hit, hundreds of thousands of shields were blown out in clumps, but that many shields were regenerated repeatedly.

[Have you seen this monster!!]

“You guys are the monsters!!”

Withstanding the attack, I once again got within close range of the red tuxedo, stretched out my nails, and stabbed them straight into the guy’s neck.

Kehehehehe!

The sound of a short-haired horse sounded, and there was also a feeling in my hand. But the guy started giggling and then cut off his own head.

“W-what…?”

Then a head sprouted from inside his severed head again, sucking at the sinister-colored blood rising from his severed head and saying:

[Only He can decide whether I exist or not. So… Just die.]

Phew!!

“Huh!? What is this?!”

I saw a very thin, awl-like weapon piercing my abdomen, and it soon moved up to my head, splitting me in two.

[Kyahahahaha!! Violent Cornicolan. Those disgusting rats must have seen you too, right? We have been studying this strange ability beyond recognition for a long time. And that’s what I got!! An absolute weapon that can only hit the body, ignoring the shield!! Kyahahahaha!!]

“I see… This weapon was placed in advance. Did you expect me to come in?”

[You guys aren’t the only ones who think there are people with the ability to see the future, right? Our great monarch, the Sentinel, foresees everything. Of course, I didn’t expect you to appear like that, but looking at you now, I realized once again that what he said was not wrong at all.]

The hole in the abdomen was getting bigger and bigger, and the split head was falling and sticking back again and again.

[Look at you! If your colleagues see you, will they really think of you as a human being? This monster!! You bastard!! Die! Die!!]

“Ha…Is this really the end…?”

Buuuk!!

[Kyahahahahaha!! I killed it!! I!! Huh?]

However, the body that was cut in two soon turned orange and transformed into the shape of a tuxedo.

[What is it? Why you?]

Are you at least shocked that you killed your own comrade? But what he was thinking about was the situation itself, which he could not understand.

[You obviously cut that guy’s body apart?]

With that question in mind, I frantically looked everywhere, but I couldn’t find the guy. No, no one was visible.

[Where am I? Did they cut him apart and move him? What the heck is this!!]

The searcher wearing the red tuxedo struggled for a while to get out of that space. However, although he tried hard for several months, he could not find a way to escape from the trapped space, and at some point, he was only spending time reliving the last battle.

[So… He came into our formation… I thought it was as expected. Even the thorn-shaped attack was the same as in the future vision he showed, and he stabbed the guy in the abdomen with an absolute weapon and cut off his head…]

Muttering-

That was the only thing he could do, and even he couldn’t think of anything anymore after tens or hundreds of years had passed.

And then I started to get more and more confused. How I was born, how I lived and why I am trapped in a place like this.

[Kihehehe- Anyway, if he doesn’t die, I won’t die either!! I won’t die…?]

And then I slowly realized what this feeling was for the first time since I was born.

Despair

Trapped in an eternal space, unable to die or live, we continue to live as nothing.

I turned my attention away from the talkative and unlucky red monster who was imprisoned in a specially constructed prison.

This is a place where the passage of time is made as fast as possible, so what he feels now is that hundreds or even thousands of years have passed.

‘As expected, it will take more time to create a space that requires so much effort.’

After stage 45, among the sealed spaces I had built in my spare time, there were only two special spaces like the space where the red guy was just imprisoned.

If you had enough magic power, you could easily create hundreds of ordinary sealed spaces, but it took tens of millions of magic powers just to confine the gray tuxedos, which seemed to be the lowest grade among the top class.

It wasn’t enough to seal all those disgusting things that were still crawling out.

Quaaa!!

“You bastard!! Don’t forget that this old man is behind you too!!”

Golden Monkey Tankranku moves his gigantic body like lightning and ravages the explorers, but in the end, he seems to have no choice when it comes to turning back time.

‘We need more Tankranku level allies, so we can maintain it to some extent. But if that watchman or something comes soon…’

I started to get a little anxious, so I poured all my magical power into sealing them, trapped 20 more monsters, and entered into close combat. The speed of my sealing and the number of enemies added were tightly balanced.

‘Around 60-70 animals. I can’t drop it any further from here.’

And I was starting to feel it. Something with tremendous presence is approaching from that distant dimension.

‘This is not the poorly implemented Sentinel we saw in the last event. He really is that guy. He has to deal with something like this…’

Booong, boom, whirring.

Kwagwagwagwang ㅡ!!

Tankranku, who had thrown the explorers around like throwing sacks of sacks, approached and said.

“You felt it too, didn’t you? He’s coming soon. The damn thing is coming.”

“Have you ever dealt with that bastard?”

“Khahahahaha- The only person who has ever dealt with him is Rosherdin from the ancient times. It’s a shame, but I could only do so at the border he drew, playing house with the people you just sealed. Even that left me no choice but to back down. “There wasn’t any.”

“Hmm – if I were to compete with that guy alone…”

“What’s important is whether or not you can enter that guy’s territory. The reason I couldn’t cross the border was because I wasn’t qualified to begin with. I hope it’s different for you…”

It’s an area…

‘Could it be related to the key Jin mentioned?’

It was clear that if Lulu and Lala were removed from the force now, great difficulties would arise in defense.

– Eun-gyeon. What are you worried about?

‘Hmm? ‘Anez?’

She, the duke’s daughter of the Palaizmoon tribe and the boss of stage 45, criticized me in a strong tone.

– We risked everything to come here. And I thought that the people here, including you, were no different from us. Is not it?

He was good at acting like a fool, but when he actually got into battle mode, he showed off the nobility of a nobleman.

Pisik-

– I became a bit cockier while I wasn’t seeing Anez.

– That’s not it!

– I know. Thanks for the advice. I always say this is my problem.

– ······.

– I will give you a gift later as a reward for awakening your spirit.

– A gift?

– You will find out when we meet later.

– Definitely!

I looked away from the giant rock with wings twisting its body and conveyed my thoughts to Lulu and Lala.

– Lulu, take Lala and come to where I am.

– Okay. It will take a while.

You probably want to move over after clearing up the area you were in charge of to some extent. Lulu has a surprisingly strong sense of responsibility.

Shooaaah ㅡ

‘Tch – you’re not giving me time to do anything.’

Suddenly, blood falls from the sky like a shower and hits the golems who were defending, and lightning bolts spread in all directions.

And then the blood, which had been spraying lightning as it bounced a few times, finally exploded and released a hazy mist, and no matter who saw it, it was poisonous smoke.

‘That’s an interesting ability.’

I turned my head to see who the owner of the ability was, and there was a handsome man wearing a white suit standing there.

“Oh my gosh, I’m a little late. My name is Belai, the leader of the explorers. Even though it’s just before the watchman comes, it’s in such a messy state. I can’t help but be shocked.”

The guy, who showed off the etiquette of bending over and putting his hand on her chest, looked at me and lightly winked before disappearing immediately.

And.

aaa!!

With a huge explosion, an outer castle a long way away disappeared without a trace.

‘It’s fast. I think I’d believe this guy if he said he was a watchman.’

The attack just caused minor damage to the shelter, with only the outer castle blown away, but dozens of golems nearby and a few seekers who were building a defense line were instantly destroyed.

Sweet!!

“Hoo?”

At that moment, Hongseol, who was sitting nearby, shot Seorya’s arrow at the guy, and Belai, the leader of the explorers, lightly caught the arrow with his hand and then absorbed its magic power.

“You’re a very talented person. You’re on par with the humans who are working hard to bring down the wrath of God in the shelter. Is it not as good as the necromancers and descendants of K’dush with their mounts?”

When I heard that from afar, I nodded, thinking it was similar to my opinion.

However, Hong Seol didn’t like the guy’s behavior of arbitrarily measuring possibilities as if he had some kind of combat power measuring device, so he immediately criticized him.

“What an ugly thing!!”

…W-what?!!

Bellai seemed greatly shocked by those words, took out a mirror from somewhere and touched her face.

“Is that possible? How much research and effort I put into this beautiful face… Huh…”

“Wow, that’s unlucky.”

Softly-

Bellai took a moment to catch his breath and pulled out a sword from somewhere. And the sword continued to grow in length, until it reached dozens of meters.

‘That’s a bit dangerous.’

Huungㅡ

Before the single cut made in a split second could draw a complete arc, I stood in front and at the same time, a woman came down behind Velai and slashed her sword down.

“Hmph!”

However, at the same time that Belay retrieved the sword that was blocked by me, he swung his body around sharply and kicked away the side of the Kifeni knife that was stabbing the sword.

Pereook!!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

Kypenical flew for a long time even after blocking Bellai’s mid-range kick. However, he soon stood up and announced that he was alive and well.
