Companion (1)

The high priest could not take his eyes off the sky even after the sunset and night came.

Seo Mun-yeop, who came out of dinner prepared by the queen himself, clicked his tongue when he saw the high priest still sitting in the same posture.

"What are you doing?"

- Counting stars.

"Aren't you tired?"

- Sounds like something a human who enjoys this blessing every day would say.

Seo Moon-yeop looked up at the clear night sky and nodded.

"Well, the sky is clear here, so I can see the stars well."

The High Priestess was preoccupied with the sky as if she wasn't really getting tired of it.

It was around the time when I thought that it was a bit cheesy.

-Who is coming.

The high priest said abruptly.

"what?"

immediately after that,

Dig! Pod! Pod!

Three underground people appeared at the Queen's residence.

Two of them looked around and marveled at the scenery around them.

-Hey, is this where the queen is!

-beautiful! A land of light!

The two seemed to be underground people who had been on the ground for the first time.

And Ji Jeo-in, who probably brought the two, was surprised to see Seo Moon-yeop.

-Seo Moon-yeop?

"I know?"

-Hey, I heard that the queen invited you.

It seemed that he was an underground person following the queen.

Hey, no matter how infamous it was, a queen is a queen, and there must have been at least one or two followers.

Seo Moon-yeop pointed to the other two and asked.

"What about those tourists?"

- They are the same people who wandered aimlessly. From now on, I will live in the residence provided by the Queen.

"Do you think there is a separate place to gather?"

-I can't talk any more.

Ji-jeo-in itself was reluctant to mix words with Seo Moon-yeop. Since he was the enemy who destroyed the underground civilization, it was natural in a way.

At that time, the high priest who counted the stars in the night sky opened his mouth.

-There is another space decorated like this nearby. probably there

"Oh, isn't it like that?"

-There are a lot of traces of the movement of the same people here. Analyzing the traces reveals the time and location.

'There's nothing I can't do with the chinta who counts the stars.'

Seo Moon-yeop muttered in admiration for the ability of the great priest to do anything.

However, Jijeoin, who is believed to be the queen's aide, was shocked when he saw the high priest.

- Great, high priest?!

-You are 'observation'. I know your face. had a unique ability.

-Ah, thank you for noticing, but how did you get here...

-To explain, I will omit Guinea.

When the other two underground people saw the high priest, they were astonished and did not know what to do.

I came here because it was said to be the residence of the queen, but it must be embarrassing to see the terrifying high priest.

Seo Moon-yeop was curious about the word unique ability, so he looked at the queen's aide Ji-jeo-in as an analysis.

-Target: Observation (underground man)

-muscle strength 50/50

- Agility 62/62

- speed 41/41

- Endurance 55/55

-Spirit 86/86

-Tech 92/92

-Aura 140/140

-Leadership 33/33

- Tactics 32/32

-Psychic powers: observation, realization

-Observation: The scenery seen with the eyes is stored in memory as it is.

-Realization: Embodies the same object in memory, excluding living things. There must be a material with the same properties and mass as the target.

He was an extraordinary talent.

Judging from the Auror values, the status was between 3rd grade red and 4th grade black.

'The psychic power of that realization is amazing, isn't it?'

In fact, the observation of storing what I saw with my eyes in my memory was not a big deal.

However, the superpower that can embody the same thing in the memory is really amazing.

Doesn't that mean that you can make anything the same as long as you have the ingredients?

After the people of the land greeted the queen, they left again.

Then Seo Mun-yeop and the high priest talked with the queen again.

"To sum up, there is a prophecy that the door will open and trouble will come, but we do not know what kind of danger will appear, and the first high priest may be the main culprit?"

At Seo Moon-yeop's words, the queen nodded.

"Yes, as you just saw, I am gathering the wandering underground people who have lost their nests and making them live in the shelters I have prepared on the surface. Since we are equally dangerous when tribulation strikes the earth, we have created a battle field and are nurturing superhumans. Other than that, there is no other solution."

"Well, that alone is great. It's just that I don't know what kind of tribulation will come, so I won."

-Since you have prepared a place on the ground and are inviting wandering people, you are definitely the queen of the prophet.

The high priest acknowledged that the queen was a prophet of prophecy.

-Then the savior is someone arranged by the queen, but Seo Moon-yeop is the most likely.

"Even in fate, they are coming out as saviors."

"Yes, yes, I'll be a savior or something, so I'm asking for someone to fight with, I mean."

Seo Mun-yeop was not one to refuse a fight.

I just wanted it to be as simple and clear as during the Underground War.

I miss the war days. The dungeon pops open and monsters pour in, so you just have to fight hard. How simple is this?

-Let's talk about the first senior priest.

The high priest suddenly changed the subject.

-I have something on my mind. The first is now claiming to be the high priest after me, but I haven't heard the words of the light from the beginning.

The jijeoin who responded to the light of the beginning was the queen in this place.

It was not a lie because it confirmed the psychic power of 'prayer' through analysis.

-There is no such thing as the light from the beginning conveying the word to many people, so the first is to act as a false high priest.

"that's right."

The Queen also nodded.

-But the first thing I know is that he's not the kind of person who would pretend to be a high priest.

'Oh, come to think of it.'

Seo Mun-yeop remembered what the high priest had said while questioning the third senior priest.

- If it's an illusion, the problem is bigger. Whose voice did you hear? Whose voice did you regard as the primordial light?

Perhaps the high priest must have known something.

-It was some time before the fight with Seo Mun-yeop. It was time to try hard to hear the words of the light from the beginning again. Then I heard someone's voice.

The ambassador's words continued.

It was the voice of a heroic spirit so old that it would not be unreasonable to mistake it for the primordial light.

It was around the time that the war was about to end.

The high priest, impatient, was overcome with anxiety that he was not a prophet and that he might be lying.

I fell into a panic and desperately searched for the light of the beginning.

I lost myself in prayer with such an immersion that I forgot myself, and my mind wandered into the spirit realm.

deeper.

To the place where the oldest spirit lives.

I continued to go back in time deeply and far, and tried to contact the one and only ancestor who was in the beginning.

Then, I heard someone's voice.

[Are you looking for me, child?]

The High Priest got goosebumps.

I felt that it was a very powerful and old existence.

However, the high priest had already responded to the light of the beginning. The owner of this voice was never the original light.

I couldn't feel the supreme and great aura, but I could see that it was hiding evil.

The High Priest, frightened, immediately ended the prayer.

And never again tried to pray to find the light of the beginning.

"Isn't it just another old Heroic Spirit?"

Seo Moon-yeop asked.

said the high priest.

-If you go further than that depth, there are no other heroic spirits other than the light of the beginning.

"that's right."

The queen also prayed to that depth and met the light of the beginning, so she sympathized.

-It's strange that a heroic spirit that didn't exist suddenly appeared, but above all, its presence was very clear.

Seo Moon-yeop, a human being, became more difficult to understand as he talked with the underground people. But for now, I kept listening.

-The presence of the old Heroic Spirit couldn't be that clear. It is normal that as the years pass, the existence wears out and fades away, eventually disappearing.

"That's why the light in the beginning doesn't say much and is very faint. To the extent that I can only pass it on to one person."

The Queen helped explain.

"Then what is he?"

-I do not know. Its clear presence felt as if it were still alive. It was a vivid presence, like a spirit that had just died. Perhaps, being trapped somewhere very far away, he reached out to the spirit realm to make contact with others.

It was a pretty creepy story.

And it stimulated Seo Mun-yeop's curiosity.

"Oh, so you're saying that the first high-ranking priest mistook him for the primordial light and followed him?"

- That's what I'm worried about.

"What are you worried about? It has become a little clearer now."

I felt like I finally got a clue to the hidden Great Demon King.

-Don't be arrogant, Seo Moon-yeop. If it exists in the spirit realm that old and is still alive, could you guess what a monster it would be?

"Are you a bit strong?"

Seo Mun-yeop, who muttered that, turned a blind eye to the pathetic eyes of the great priest.

"Does the opening of the door mean that the place where it exists and time and space are connected? It matches the prophecy, so I'm afraid."

The reasoning of the high priest fit the circumstance.

The first high-ranking priest is worshiping something old and evil.

An evil being imprisoned far away wants to connect this place with time and space using the first senior priest.

When that presence comes out, that is the Tribulation of Prophecy.

-I have no idea whatsoever. We've lost a lot of our ancient history. Not to mention the 'abandoned world', which was said to be the beginning of civilization, and even the era of Emperor Maninreung, the era of despotic rule.

"Are there any underground people I know of?"

- If I don't know, no one knows.

'Unlucky child.'

Seo Moon-yeop gnashed his teeth at the arrogance of the great priest.

However, the Queen also seemed to acknowledge this.

Suddenly, the queen clapped her hands and said,

"Then why don't we ask the Emperor of the Ten People's Lung?"

"···Eh?"

Seo Mun-yeop's expression was colored with absurdity.

"I'm sorry, but we got rid of that man?"

Maninreung, which actually existed, was destroyed by Seo Mun-yeop.

No, not only Seo Mun-yeop, but also numerous superhumans were put in.

It was a desperate attack, like hitting a rock with an egg.

It was Seo Mun-yeop, who was Gungye Ilhak, who took the emperor's head after much struggle.

The fearsome emperor's power was more terrifying than when he fought the high priest.

However, the high priest agreed with the queen.

- That makes sense. He couldn't have become a heroic spirit, so the spirit must still be wandering around. If you create a spirit undead, it is possible to summon it.

"No, there is no corpse, so it is possible to revive them as a spirit undead like you?"

The Queen smiled at Seo Moon-yeop's question.

"Haven't you seen it before? Jijeoin who follows me."

"ah!"

It was only then that I remembered the underground person I had seen earlier called Observation.

Apparently, he had a mysterious psychic power called 'implementation'.

said the queen with a laugh.

"He hasn't been anywhere. He explored all his life to capture every place in his memory. He also participated in the Maninling Expedition and survived when he was defeated."

-Realization: Embodies the same object in memory, excluding living things. There must be a material with the same properties and mass as the target.

It was impossible to materialize a living being, but it was possible because the emperor of Maninleung, who was seen and remembered by observation, was undead.

-That guy's ability required materials. I need one of the corpses of the underground people.

The queen shook her head at the high priest's words.

"You don't have to. If you make it in a virtual world, you don't need to find ingredients."

At those words, Seo Mun-yeop was shocked.

"Is he the one who made Battlefield?"
