Imperial Tombs (1)

The language delivery was classy.

The words were conveyed, but the direction was disturbed so that it was not known where the words were spoken.

However, Pietro immediately turned his head to the left. He tracked the direction right away, without feeling the slightest confusion.

Sure enough, the one who had killed the presence and was hiding behind the rubble of the place appeared.

First High Priest.

He was a corrupt high priest who gave his soul to the king.

-It's been a while, Grand Priest.

- It's been a while. other people can't see

-That's what I want to ask. Did you come alone? The man is invisible.

Murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the first senior priest. He questioned whether he could handle it alone without Seo Mun-yeop.

-I don't do unnecessary things.

Pietro replied calmly.

A one-on-one confrontation with the first high-ranking priest.

But Pietro did not believe the outward appearance. The first high priest must have prepared something.

-Take out everything prepared. There should be no regrets before I die.

At Pietro's words, the first senior priest laughed.

-Haha, you are like a high priest. You are still arrogant even though you wear an ugly human body.

The first senior priest pulled out two greatswords.

As expected, it was intended to use the 'warrior's memory' to demonstrate the swordsmanship of the Maninleung Emperor.

said Pietro.

-There must be 5 more people, so tell them to finish their work and come.

At that, the first senior priest was startled. It was because Pietro had penetrated everything.

-There are traces of movement that you couldn't erase until now, so I was able to follow you. It was a sign that you were psychologically cornered.

Pietro's words continued.

- You thought you couldn't hold on running away any longer, did you? Is that why you were lured here? I prepared to see the match here, but I guess I didn't know that I would come alone without Seo Moon-yeop. I'm not ready because I came too soon.

The first senior priest's expression hardened.

everything was being deciphered. It reminded me of the days when I was taught as his disciple in the past. Even then, he put himself on the palm of his hand and looked at it.

-So I'll wait for you. is it not yet?

Even though Pietro knew everything, he was rather giving them time.

The arrogance to do everything possible before dying.

The first senior priest suppressed his displeasure and opened his mouth.

-Do you know where this place is?

-Looks like you need more time. Okay, I'll be more talkative. This place looks like an imperial tomb, but I can't see anything more inferred.

-Your wisdom has become dull. Or have you been so preoccupied with me that you haven't had enough time to think about these ruins?

-Let's do the latter. don't you mean

-Yes, I know enough.

The first high priest spread his arms wide open holding a greatsword.

-Look at these ruins. Who dared to destroy this place where the previous emperor slept? why? And after destruction, why is space maintained without collapsing?

Pietro was also interested in those words.

I wondered what the first senior priest had discovered.

'I must have arrived here while looking for an abandoned world, then...'

Pietro thought for a moment before opening his eyes wide.

-The first emperor?

- Hehe, indeed. Has wisdom returned?

Pietro finally realized where this place was.

If you're going to destroy it, just destroy the space itself, not the building. If you destroy all the mana stones that maintain space-time, it will collapse like the sanctuary that was destroyed by Seomunyeop.

The reason for not doing so is probably because the owner of this tomb put strong protection on the device that maintains time and space.

Destroying the imperial tombs under protection and management was not something that a few criminal forces could do. It was something that should be seen as the decision of the entire society in later generations.

A protective measure so strong that it still cannot be destroyed?

'This is only possible for the first emperor who left the abandoned world and opened a new world.'

There was another clue assuming that he was the first emperor.

The reason why the imperial tomb had to be destroyed.

No matter how much I think about it, I can only think of one answer.

This is exactly what the Emperor of Maninling did.

Someone found a clue to the abandoned world engraved in the ruins and opened the door.

As a result, an army of terrible monsters came over from the abandoned world and caused trouble, which was suppressed by the Emperor of Maninling.

Since then, the Waninling Emperor has destroyed the ruins that contain clues to the abandoned world.

If the ruins were the first imperial tomb, the front and back fit.

If it is the tomb of the first emperor who was the legendary ruler connecting the abandoned world and the new world, it is natural that there is a record of the abandoned world.

The first high-ranking priest discovered this place, but he was being chased, so he didn't have time to investigate and restore the destroyed wreckage. That's why he thought to investigate this place slowly after fighting and deciding.

'I know because I heard the story directly from the Emperor of Maninling, but I guess I did a lot of research on the first one.'

He would have researched and prepared all kinds of historical materials.

It's a mad effort.

And even though he has studied ancient history to the extent of reaching this point, he still doesn't know who is controlling him...

- You've broken down a lot mentally.

At Pietro's words, the first high-ranking priest was taken aback.

Pietro's words continued.

-I know what happened to you. Have you been to the spirit realm? Can't go any deeper?

-that······.

The first senior priest's eyes shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

-I know that despair. Because that's what I've been through.

-It's because of your cunning lies...!

-It's because you're denying the facts you've come to know. Trying to deny that everything is in vain and there is nothing but despair is bound to weaken the mind.

- It's because of you!

The first high-ranking priest raised his aura while shouting.

oh oh oh

A huge aura rose up and wrapped around her body as if burning.

-Now it seems that the preparations are over.

At Pietro's question, the first senior priest giggled.

- Thanks for waiting. You will do it again with your own arrogance, just as you did in your lifetime.

Scared to finish talking,

Wow!

The waves of intense aura covered the entire space and time where the ruins of the first imperial tomb exist.

Barrier.

It was a device that blocked space movement from the outside.

In addition, it was also a measure that made it impossible to escape through space movement from the inside to the outside.

It must have been the work of the five invisible priests.

-I can't run away now.

The first senior priest was elated.

- Yes, that's right.

Pietro still had no change in his emotions even after checking what they had prepared.

Because I already knew everything.

It wasn't just because he was arrogant that he waited knowingly.

-You guys can't run away anymore.

Pietro's conclusion.

He had no intention of sending the first senior priest's party alive. I was planning on ending it here. The barrier applied to Pietro as well as the first high-ranking priest and his party.

-Puhahaha! Did you think so?

The first high-ranking priest fired a frenzy.

It was ridiculous that a person who had once been a high priest but had fallen to the point of being in human flesh was still so arrogant.

-Did you think you could beat us with a body like that? What kind of futile arrogance do you mean?

Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod! Pod!

The five priests appeared by moving in space all at once.

Space movement to the outside was impossible, but it was possible from the inside.

Pietro tried to interfere with their spatial movement, but failed and felt puzzled.

All five priests were standing on top of the magic circle.

It is a magic circle that protects from outside interference, and because of that, Pietro's specialty, space movement interference, failed.

Such small magic circles were engraved everywhere.

It seemed that he was thinking of going back and forth between magic circles like a stepping stone and moving in space.

It was thoroughly prepared in preparation for Pietro's main specialty.

- Did you see? I'm definitely going to kill you here.

- Well prepared.

Pietro admitted that he hadn't expected this far.

However, being Pietro, he did not come here without thinking.

-Is it my turn now?

-what?

- I'll say hello.

Pietro took off his shirt, revealing his upper body.

The tattoos that filled the upper body looked grotesque.

However, the complexion of the first high-ranking priest changed when he realized that the tattoo had a pattern indicating a high level of magic that was difficult to guess.

I was surprised to realize that Pietro's technique was much more developed than in the past, and I was surprised to vaguely feel that there was some other soul in the tattoo.

-That, what is that...

-Would you like to say hello?

wriggling wriggling.

The tattoo broke out of the skin and protruded out, then returned to its original state repeatedly.

It looked like a fish caught in a net running amok.

-How can two souls in one body...

The first senior priest looked like he was about to faint.

Everyone's physical vessel was limited. If two souls enter there, there is no choice but to overflow.

By the way, Pietro had tattooed it and temporarily enlarged the vessel.

I was surprised that he came up with such a genius idea even after dying once and becoming a commander. The technology that made it happen was also phenomenal.

The question is, who is that other soul?

But then, Pietro created a small magic circle and launched it into the air.

A voice echoed through the small magic circle.

-first······.

The first high priest was shocked to the point of suffocating.

It was a familiar voice.

The first senior priest shook his head. I wanted to deny this fact.

- It's a lie! Are you tricking me into making me weak with lies again!

-first······.

A familiar voice heard again.

-We... were wrong... everything... wrong...

- Shut up, fifth!

The first senior priest shouted.

At that, the other 5 priests were also shocked.

The fifth senior priest was a central figure who accompanied them and helped them in their cause. The spirit of such a person is with Pietro.

-Why are you attached to such a person!

The first senior priest shouted.

I felt an intense sense of betrayal.

The anxiety that had been buried deep in my heart was slowly awakening.

maybe i'm wrong

Have I been tricked by some evil being disguised as the primordial light?

-Was the introduction long? let's just start

Papa papa papa papa papa papa!

Pietro embroidered 22 magic circles in the air.

The aura began to roll in like a tidal wave.

Unlike the previous fight, Pietro, who showed great strength, reminded him of his life before he was alive.

-Oh, how can you get that kind of power!

- No longer an ambassador system...

Priests were terrified.

Even though he was originally a dead spirit who had lost a lot of power, there was only one reason why he had such a powerful aura with a human body. Accepting the fifth high-ranking priest and absorbing its power.

-fifth! Are you really betraying me!

The first senior priest shouted.

If you remove the 5th Advanced Priest attached to Pietro, you can halve that power.

However, the commandant of the 5th senior priest did not respond to those words.

Rather, because of his presence, the first high priest was more likely to collapse mentally.
