Chapter 123 - 123. Anomaly (Complete)

"Eh... Eh, eh!"

Amon, who was wrapped around the robe, coughed loudly.

In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is severe.

Now that the unnecessarily hot sun had set and night had come, Shady, who had grown up, was running around on the cold sand.

All the other species he met during the day were all disposed of by Eisel.

'Did Eisel have a grudge against the other world?'

She reached out her hand from inside her robe and wiped out the otherworldly servants at once, as if to annoy her.

It was partly because they weren't the right guys for our group.

The humanoid alien species never showed up.

In fact, if you reveal your strength, it will be at a level where you can single-handedly subdue a humanoid alien species... But neither I nor Eisel have revealed all of my strength.

Ishmir said, 'There were monsters in the academy.' He said that if you were a humanoid, you would be perfect for a 'joint battle'.

'I've met many, but I've never met a humanoid.'

I already knew that they spoke 'English', so I really wanted to meet them, but there was a reason why they were more expensive than beast types.

"Sniff, damn... I'm not used to the desert at all."

Amon sniffs.

"...Still, it's warm inside the tent. Let's put up with it even when we stand guard."

I said that, pointing roughly at the magic tent on the other side.

Inside the tent, except for Amon and me, the women will be sleeping.

Soon, Amon looked at me deeply.

Why are you suddenly burdened?

"...Jetto, you really don't know how to say anything but positive things. If I live with that mindset, can I become strong like you?"

"...If you lessen the murmuring a bit... Maybe you'll get stronger?"

"I'm kidding. Being strong with attitude. It's impossible. Men always talk with their bodies."

Amon clenched his fists, checking his muscles.

"Wasn't Amon a wizard?"

"Mage. However, since ancient times, our Caligus has been building strength and learning the skills to handle mana. Well, I don't understand a guy who can twist mana like you and still do nothing."

"Haha, I'm curious about how you deal with mana while building strength."

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you because it's a family secret."

"I'm kidding too. Actually, I'm not really curious."

""...""

There was a moment of silence, and Amon and I burst into laughter.

I think that Amon has become a lot leaner than I thought, so I can easily aim for the Gaegwacheonseon route later.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to sow the seeds in advance at this point.

"Amon, if you have any difficulties, please come to me."

"Is that even a joke?"

At Amon's question, I waved my hand and smiled.

"No. I'm just speaking as a 'friend'. You tend to work things out on your own."

"Well... I see. There's a lot to learn from you, so that wouldn't be such a bad choice. I don't know if that will ever happen."

No, that will inevitably happen.

I turned my head away from him and said, 'Tell you that demons are coming.' I held back what I wanted to say.

Sierra, meanwhile, was catching the moon floating in the sky, dazzling the golden grains of sand.

It seems like you've been observing Ishmir all day...

She hadn't even talked to her yet.

She will have many things she wants to say even as her.

Starting with how she was, how her eyes got like that. She wondered if she hadn't been doing much in the meantime.

Did she eat well?

Is she really feeling frustrated because she can't even ask for simple regards?

Or is she just grateful that she was able to meet her old acquaintance like this?

As I don't know what kind of relationship Ishmir and Sierra were, I couldn't figure it out.

'They were easy-going enough to touch her breasts...?'

If that was the case, I think we would have been friendly.

[No matter how it is...]

Sierra, who was staring at the moon, muttered softly.

It sounded like self-talk.

I think I can hear how I feel about Ishmir now... Judging from the first words, I wonder if there is any story between the two.

As I raise her head to pay attention to Sierra, she goes on with her words.

[ ...How can a person not change like this? Even if you can't do it, haven't the years passed? Except for the loss of an eyeball, nothing has changed. As a person gets older, he grows up in his thoughts and finally becomes an adult... Except for drinking and smoking, nothing has changed. Nothing has changed, so it's even more confusing...]

Sierra, who was looking at the moon, grumbled for a long time.

...I think it would be nice to have some alone time.

"Sand. Sand. A lot."

That's how I listened to Sierra's non-complaints and watched Shady roll on her sand.

I was on guard, but I didn't have to pay attention to my surroundings. Because it was enough to keep her feeling flowing.

That was the moment.

Something unusual touches the wave.

Lee Gye-jong.

However, something was very different from the alien species I had met so far.

"...Amon, wake up the people."

"What are you talking about all of a sudden?"

Amon, who was standing next to him, frowned.

"It's an alien species. I'm guessing it's a 'humanoid' too. I'll go ahead and pass the time. Amon, bring everyone."

After that, she pumped mana into her legs and ran up a steep sand dune.

Behind Amon, "Wait...! Zeto! ...Damn, I don't know!" Then the sound of him running towards the tent is heard.

At my sudden movement, Sierra looked down from the sky in the direction of the alien species.

It seems that she also discovered the appearance of the Lee Gye-jong.

Soon after, he came up next to me, who was running hard, and talked to me.

[How can you go alone? Judging by its appearance, it seems to be a dangerous humanoid alien species? ]

As Sierra said, this was an arbitrary move.

It might not be too late to wake up those in the tent and deal with them.

But...

"...Because there's something I want to check."

What exactly are they aiming for?

It was decided that it was necessary to find out in advance what the cause of the 'abnormal phenomenon' was.

Anyway, there was no way my life would be threatened against a humanoid alien species anyway.

It was the time when I was approaching him at high speed, when I was standing on top of a huge sand dune.

Soon, the figure of the guy comes into view.

The guy who found me stopped the bridge, and a lot of sand dust flew behind him.

I went down the hill maintaining a vigilant attitude and approached him.

The humanoid alien species that I finally met.

Unlike the 'floppy' that I saw yesterday... Made by attaching everything, the metal lumps that were well arranged like a statue made a chiik sound and showed off their dignity.

He had a frayed cloth or something draped over his shoulders like a cloak.

Are you imitating humans?

Do you want to resemble a human?

Its outer skin, which was in the form of a lofty fluttering cloak and armor, looked like a 'knight'.

"...Under."

With the guy in front of me, I let out a blank laugh.

It hasn't made any moves since I found it.

Neither did I, but he never attacked me in any way.

Considering the propensity of alien species to attack humans indiscriminately, this was very strange.

Why?

I couldn't figure out why, but I didn't have a good feeling. So I laughed out loud.

I wondered why this premonition might be wrong.

'Where is the king... Was it?'

Guys purpose.

To find their king.

I don't know if it's because my existence helped them find that king, or if it's because I'm the 'king'.

Either way, I had to see that it wasn't such a good thing.

The king of killing machines.

Is there any other position that is perfect for misunderstandings like this one?

Soon, his red eyes flashed, and red light poured out of them.

It wasn't an attack.

The laser emitted from his only eyeball slowly scanned me from bottom to top and from top to bottom.

'Scan...?'

The guy who was scanning me like that started making noise.

I couldn't see a part that could be called a mouth, but it was clearly making a sound.

It wasn't the muffled, incomprehensible sound you hear in games.

His voice was a low-pitched voice with mechanical sounds.

The language was... 'English'.

[What the hell are you muttering about? ]

Sierra, who listened to him with her arms folded, has doubts.

...Unfortunately, I was thinking the same thing as her.

I couldn't understand everything in English.

Even simple English was okay, but he was fluently spitting out some very complicated English words.

I could catch a few easy words, but they didn't help me understand his 'intentions'.

Soon after, the guy who had been chanting long English suddenly became quiet as if he had closed his mouth.

"..."

A brief moment of silence passes.

I didn't attack, and he didn't attack either.

Wouldn't this brief silence between the alien species and humans go down in history?

In the meantime, the red light leaking from the guy's eyes disappears as if the power was turned off.

In a situation where I couldn't predict what would happen, I put my hand on 'Sierra' and waited.

ㅡPeeing!

Not long after, the boy's eyes light up again.

Then he starts talking out loud again.

But this time I could understand what he was saying.

Because...

"Language scan complete. Restart the system. Data download of 'Korean' completed."

...Because he started to speak Korean.
