77. Flying Away

Kuku-kukukung!

A red pillar rose to the top of the mountain.

It was a red pillar that looked like it was made of blood.

Everyone shouted in confusion.

“W-what the heck is that red pillar?”

At that moment, the barbarians who had been secretly following Jooin’s group collapsed one by one.

“Ugh… The energy…”

“So sleepy….”

Thud!

It wasn’t just that they collapsed.

The crimson threads that emerged from their bodies shot up into the sky toward the summit of the mountain.

Haken’s eyes widened as if he had noticed something.

“Surely that pillar is from the bodies of the people…!”

“It seems that the crimson threads have gathered together to appear as a pillar.”

Having noticed something, Daedo’s gaze was colder than ever.

“It must be the doing of the one called Jeon-shin. He has sucked the spirits of his contractors. All the barbarians must have collapsed.”

The problem is that what he sucked out wasn’t just spirits.

The faces of those who had collapsed were completely drained of blood.

“It seems that he has sucked out their life force as well. We must hurry.”

“Who on earth?”

At those words, Haken looked at the macho man with great vigilance.

“Well, there is one guy who is strangely intact.”

At Haken’s words, the group turned their heads.

The macho warrior.

His face, which had been leading the way, was completely intact.

Daedo glared at the macho man.

“Why are you intact?”

All the other barbarians had collapsed, so why was he the only one?

Then the macho man, who had his arms crossed, chuckled.

“I don’t trust the strength that others give me.”

The macho man showed off his solid muscles.

“I don’t gamble on the battles of honorable warriors. So I have no need to receive his spirits.”

At those words, the expressions of Joo-yeon’s group became strange.

In other words, that macho man didn’t fall for the Grand Warlock’s schemes.

But wait?

So he looks like that because it’s his taste?

He looks completely depraved, let alone battle-ready.

Olsen nodded as if in agreement.

But now was not the time for this.

Haken asked Joo-yeon with a heavy face.

“If it’s not that guy’s doing, then it’s the Grand Warlock’s doing. Why is he sucking the blood of his own kind? Aren’t they his own people?”

“Because he was caught.”

“Excuse me?”

“Because he was caught by Daedo. He must have known that it would now be known to all the countries.”

“……!?”

The Thieves Guild is all over the continent.

If Daedo moves, the Thieves Guild moves too.

Joo-Yeon stuttered.

“Thieves are good with their mouths, you know. They spread information everywhere for their own gain.”

Dae-Do pouted as if he was offended.

“You punk! Even if you are a warrior, that’s too much. Do you think I’m that loose-lipped?”

“What are you talking about?”

“In the first place, when I was captured by my disciple, I lost contact with the Guild guys for a while….”

“Nonsense.”

“What?”

Dae-Do was furious, but it was no use.

“I know everything. I know that you secretly contacted the Thieves Guild. Did you think I wouldn’t know?”

“……!”

Dae-Do was genuinely surprised.

Dae-Do’s secrecy was the best in the world.

What’s more, he had just gotten used to his new arm.

‘My skills are nearing their peak right now.’

He had secretly contacted the Thieves Guild even though he was like that.

There was information about Joo-Yeon, who was known as the warrior, but he had also sent various trends.

“But how did you know that?”

It was surprising to Dae-Do, but it wasn’t difficult for Joo-Yeon.

[Dae-Do uses <Inspect>]

[Reads information about the target (Joo-Yeon)]

[Dae-Do sends information he found out through the <Shadow Network>]

His ability reacted first.

[Do you want to <Reflect>?]

But he didn’t do it right away.

It was because it was something that Joo-Yeon surprisingly needed.

‘I need my story to spread far and wide if I want to get the Warrior System.’

Of course, there was another decisive reason.

‘There’s still so much I don’t know about <Reflect>.’

It was to test it out against Dae-Do.

Above all, the thief skill, <Inspect>, can read the opponent’s weaknesses.

From the amount of money they have, to their abilities and skills, to their relationships with friendly clans.

It could read information that could be a weakness.

So, he was testing it.

For example, changing some of the information that Dae-Do was reading.

‘I’ll change all the information that could be my weakness, especially.’

The same went for information about the amount of money he had or his relationships.

And <Reflect> didn’t betray him.

[You have successfully <Reflected>!]

[You have <Reflected> some of the contents of <Inspect>]

[Modify the target’s information]

I revised all the information that is not helpful to the protagonist.

So I was confident.

“Do it moderately, Muse.”

The embarrassed Grandmaster coughed.

On the other hand, Haken quickly noticed the situation.

“Does that mean that all the forces on the continent will soon launch a full-scale offensive against the barbarians!”

“Yes. As an Archmage, the only answer would have been to run away with the power I’ve gathered so far.”

I think he must be thinking that he could start over somewhere else by now.

Because if he just creates a Colosseum, his power will naturally gather.

But it was impossible.

‘I’m sure he plans to steal my body and run away, but that’s not going to happen.’

Because he has to get my job class.

Soon, the protagonist headed for the bridge pointed out by the macho man.

That bridge wasn’t ordinary.

In fact, the moment Olson, who volunteered first, tried to cross the bridge.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from below and something terrible happened.

“Huh?”

Snap!

Olson’s leg completely shattered the wooden plank. The foothold collapsed. Olson barely held on and dangled from the rope.

The Grandmaster and Haken hurriedly rescued him.

“Hold on! You can’t let go!”

Olson climbed up with a pale face.

“Ugh… I guess the weight of the armor was too heavy.”

“No. It’s not the weight of the armor.”

“Huh? Then why…”

The Grandmaster didn’t answer Olson’s question.

Instead, he looked at the macho warrior.

“How is it? Am I right?”

Then the macho warrior raised the corners of his mouth.

“I forgot to mention it, but this is one of the trials of the ancestors.”

“The trial of the ancestors? Don’t tell me it’s a trap spell?”

“That’s right. Those who haven’t proven themselves can’t cross it.”

It meant that only a brave man who had reached the level of a barbarian warrior could cross it.

There was only one way to get across.

The macho warrior pointed to his back.

“I can carry you. How about it? Will you ride on my back? 1 gold per ride…”

“I refuse.”

The protagonist was resolute.

Time was running out to carry them all on his back.

“I hate to be carried on a muscle-man’s back even more.”

Daedo laughed.

“Oh, come on! It’s just a spell.”

Daedo moved in an instant.

Swish!

His movements were as light as if he were flying through the sky.

He stepped onto the rope above their heads as lightly as a feather.

It was like he was tightrope walking on the rope.

But just when it seemed like he was going smoothly.

Whoosh!

A strong gust of wind blew, and his body flipped over.

“Oh no!”

“Daedo!”

Olsen and Haken’s faces hardened.

Daedo’s body was too far away for them to reach.

But right at that moment.

Clack!

Daedo’s black hand moved.

No. It was Jooin, who had been watching from afar, who had pulled the [Black Water].

From Noble mtl dot com

Daedo was barely able to pull himself back up to the cliff.

“Whew… Thank you.”

If Jooin hadn’t pulled him, he would have fallen to the bottom of the cliff.

Daedo’s face turned grim.

“Well. Do you think you guys can do it?”

“Well. It seems difficult?”

As they were flying, they couldn’t use their wings here.

“It’s not just wind. If you spread your wings, they’ll be ripped apart in no time.”

The macho warrior shrugged.

“I told you. It’s an ancestral trial.”

In the end, Haken spoke.

“Can’t we just be carried by that person?”

“I’ll go.”

The macho man chuckled.

“Carried? Now that’s an idea.”

“No.”

“What?”

Jooin walked toward the cliff alone.

Jooin’s party looked at him anxiously.

“What the hell is he going to do… Huh!”

Instead of crossing the bridge, Joo-in ran toward the cliff.

“That crazy bastard!”

“No… Stop!”

Everyone shouted at Joo-in in shock.

Only the macho warrior had a stiff face.

“Don’t tell me… Does he know a way to cross this bridge?”

The way to cross the bridge with a powerful spell was simple.

<Test your courage>

Whether the bridge breaks.

No matter how much you stagger.

Just walk straight without being scared.

Of course, no one has ever fallen off a cliff.

“It’s a powerful spell that constantly pulls you to the bottom of the cliff. Even the chieftain can’t fall barehanded!”

But right after that.

Thud!

A loud noise was heard from the bottom of the cliff.

“See, what did I tell you! I said it was dangerous!”

“D… Do you think Joo-in is dead? It made such a loud noise…”

“It will be hard to even recover the body.”

“That’s…”

However, Daedo and Haken’s worries were meaningless.

Right at that moment.

“Huh?”

Everyone’s mouths couldn’t help but open.

“He’s flying?”

“Isn’t that… Joo-in? How the hell is he flying in the sky?”

It was literally true.

He couldn’t fly in any way because of the powerful spell.

However, Joo-in ignored it and flew up into the sky.

He didn’t even use the item of the child of the north wind.

Yeah, he didn’t use any items… What?

“What?!”

“How is he flying?!”
