Chapter 31 Part3 (2/2)

'I need to see the memories before then. How Metafel's troops got into the mountain range, and how they received their orders as well.'

If something went wrong, his undead seniors in the Giants' domain would have to fight against one of the 12 generals, Metafel, before he even got a chance to do anything.

He ordered Rem to scout out a wider area, while he diligently a.n.a.lyzed the memories. Fortunately, by fusing together the memories of the level 5 Elite Knights, he found something that he could use.

[General, it's open. We've secured a road! The Archmage said that if we just go this way, we won't get lost!]

'A magical device! It's definitely some sort of magical device!'

It was a circular gemstone that was so large that it looked as though it needed to be carried on a wagon.

It seemed a dozen times larger than a compa.s.s from Earth, but it didn't simply point towards a direction; it a.n.a.lyzed the flow of mana that manipulated s.p.a.ce and also possessed a magic that directed the owner to wherever they wished to go.

It was at least a level 6 artifact... That specialty, it had to be related to the Archmage, Feotane Von Seldin, somehow!

'I've gotten over the biggest hurdle for now. Which is the chance that Feotane Von Seldin is moving personally!'

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo recollected Feotane Von Seldin's might and suddenly began to shake. Of course, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had grown since then, and both his level and stats had grown as well. He'd also found a way to resist spatial magic on top of that.

But even so, he knew that he would be no match for him. He was way out of Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's league. If Feotane Von Seldin was personally involved, then Lee s.h.i.+n Woo would immediately run away.

[The forgotten Giants' domain... Keuk, that sounds nice. I've been curious about this place since a while back. This time... Very good.]

Was it really a coincidence that Metafel had only now found the Giants' domain? Lee s.h.i.+n Woo didn't think so.

It could be connected to Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and his party overcoming the training facility, or perhaps it was the movements of another hero... Especially someone like Ethan Cruz. The clouds of war that his seniors had seen were likely when the Empire made movements like this.

[General, what are you going to do? We've been ordered to take everything hidden inside, but...]

[Why do you think his Imperial Majesty sent me here in person? It's because he's aware of all this. That I become stronger the more I eat...]

The Mercenary King, Metafel was a Ghoul. The more corpses he ate, the faster his body would strengthen and recover, and when he ate the corpse of a powerful individual, then his growth would be unbelievable. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo looked through the memories and had a rough idea as to what Metafel had planned.

[We'll do exactly as he wishes. Obviously, we have to present the frozen t.i.tan's Heart to his Majesty, but everything else is mine. With that, I'll be sure to reach it... Level 8...!]

[Is it true that we may be going to war...? I will always follow you General, no matter what!]

The frozen t.i.tan's Heart. He'd sure gotten some great information out of this... The more he followed the Giant's back, the harsher the wind got, and he secretly smiled. He'd come to a great place at a great time. But at this rate, he'd need to prepare some things...

”s.h.i.+no Rendu.”

[Yes, did you call for me?]

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo communicated with s.h.i.+no Rendu telepathically, even though he was so far away. Nowadays, he had become quite comfortable handling the darkness element, so this wasn't an issue for him at all.

”It seems like the day of your vengeance will come sooner than you expected.”

[Huh...!?]

s.h.i.+no Rendu reacted quite dramatically. It felt like he could tell what s.h.i.+no Rendu's expression was just based on his voice. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo chuckled and spoke.

”I'll let you kill Metafel personally. But the region's really cold, so will you be ok?”

[I possess High Rank Ice Resistance. For the rest... I'll be able to do it so long as I don't give up.]

”Good. Then I'll send you some Pauls with Ice Resistance, so come to where I tell you. It's a bit difficult to enter the area, but... Well, I'll get you a magical device that'll help you get in soon.”

[I understand! ...Thank you very much!]

Once Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was done conversing with s.h.i.+no Rendu, he gave out detailed instructions to the Pauls. At the same time, he connected the Chi Pauls and Bisher Moon. All of Paul Zero's elite troops (who were currently in the level 4 danger zone) would be coming! ...Of course, the last person he needed to talk to was Kratia.

”s.h.i.+n Woo, you're not...”

”Of course I am.”

Now that Ethan Cruz was running around looking for one of the 12 generals to kill (of course, that's just his excuse), this mountain range, which only a small handful of the Empire knows about and were a.s.sembled in...

”I'm taking the t.i.tan's Heart, and killing one of the 12 generals too.”

”Jeez...”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo declared firmly and Jin, who knew that this was how he would act, just sighed. At that moment, the Giant entered a hole within the crevice of the cliff. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo and Jin likewise entered.

After they entered, the crack within the severed s.p.a.ce was restored and a new subs.p.a.ce was revealed. It was a vast, icy plain.

[Welcome to the Giants' village... Perlin Elta.]

The Giant who'd led them there spoke in a voice as though he had regained some of his intelligence. However, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo didn't get the chance to reply.

[Who... is this!?]

[He's not a Giant. How did he get in here!?]

Because dozens, no hundreds of undead giants were looking at him.
