Descended as an All-Master of Iron Blood - Chapter 199
Only Ranovel
Episode 199
… … The back of my head tingled as if I had been hit by a hammer.
Green hair reminiscent of natural vegetation, sheep studded with white jade, and two pure white eyes without pupils.
Like the other corpses Veronica has, she has pale skin and is dressed in tattered rags… … .
It’s definitely true.
‘… … Sylvia Lan.’
This woman that Veronica just introduced.
It was definitely the martial artist character ‘Sylvia Lan’ from ‘Suodun’.
The playable character is one of the corpses that Veronica has under her wing.
Ruth was so shocked that it felt like her game was completely falling apart.
“Ruth, it was my masterpiece until you came along. Sylvia Lan. “You know this name well, right?”
“… … “Aren’t you one of the six warriors who fought against the Demon Emperor 500 years ago?”
“That’s right! Isn’t it cool? “The hero who saved the world hundreds of years ago is now my toy!”
Veronica laughs and hugs Sylvia tightly.
Sylvia, who had no emotions like other corpses, accepted Veronica’s barrage of affection with a motionless expression.
Ruth also looked at the two calmly, but inside she could not help but feel the shock.
‘I kept doing it and now all kinds of damn variables are popping out.’
It was so shocking that I had a hard time suppressing my laughter as I wondered what kind of crazy development was going on.
The main character in the game is being used as Veronica’s corpse soldier… … .
The setting is that all of the playable characters in this world already died 500 years ago.
And Veronica is a “corpse artist” who transforms already dead people into her soldiers.
Although it is a variable beyond imagination, it is not very difficult to guess the cause of the variable.
‘No, but wait a minute.’
Ruth, who was continuing her thinking, paused for a moment.
Because when I thought about it carefully, it didn’t make sense.
-“At that time, if the Demon Emperor had been defeated and the dimension had not collapsed… … Their souls wouldn’t have been scattered all over the continent!”
The day I became possessed in this world and met Damian for the first time. These are the words he cried out while lamenting.
Yes. Dimensional collapse.
500 years ago, the six heroes were caught up in the phenomenon and their souls were scattered.
… … In other words, there are no corpses left for Veronica to collect.
What answer will I get if I try to wrap my head around it alone?
Ruth decided to just ask Veronica outright.
“Mother, I have one question.”
“Any questions? Okay, ask me anything!”
“I heard that after the heroes of 500 years ago defeated the Demon Emperor, the dimension collapsed and they were unable to leave any remains in this world.”
“That’s right.”
“But how could your mother, Sylvia… … “Did you take your sister’s body?”
“Oh, you mean that? “It’s simple.”
Veronica, who was hugging Silvia, took a step to the side and suddenly raised her right hand and raised the blade.
Instead of answering, why are you sharpening your hands?
While Ruth was making a questioning expression.
Pagak-!!
With a sound like a watermelon being crushed, flesh and blood splattered onto Ruth’s face.
… … Veronica had blown off the head of Sylvia next to her with the blade of her hand.
“… … .”
< Amazing crazy bitch… … .>
I’m going crazy.
Seriously, if it weren’t for < Steel Blooded Heart>, how many times would I have screamed while being with Veronica?
Even in games, when Veronica appeared, the level jumped to 19+, but seeing it in real life, the cruelty was truly overwhelming.
“Heungheung~”
Veronica, who may or may not know how Ruth feels, is looking through the cross section of Sylvia’s severed head as if she is choosing some accessory.
“Ah, I found it!”
After rummaging around for a while, Veronica pulled out something while shouting cheerfully.
It was a translucent crystal with green flames fluttering inside.
“Thanks to this, we were able to give our Sylvia a body as a gift.”
“… … .”
Ruth’s eyes widened as she looked at the crystal.
Of course, this wasn’t the first time I’d seen a crystal like this.
=====
【???’s Soul Stone】
Rating: ?
effect: ????
=====
‘Sylvia’s soul stone… … !?’
Because it was an unexpected discovery, Ruth almost failed to control her expression.
I never thought I’d find Sylvia Lan’s soul stone here!
Veronica smiled while stroking the soul stone.
“This is a condensed crystal of Sylvia’s soul. “I happened to find it rolling around in a western temple.”
“Then the reason why he created Sylvia’s body… … ?”
“that’s right. I reconstructed it based on Sylvia’s memories and information contained in the crystal. “The body is just a shell, and the soul is the true core of life.”
Veronica said that and put the soul stone back into the severed head.
Then at that moment.
Ssssss!!
Veronica’s head, which looked like a headless corpse, regenerated in an instant, as if time were rewinding.
“As long as you have a soul, reconstructing your body to resemble how it was when you were alive is not difficult at all for me.”
“… … .”
Even after hearing the detailed explanation, all Ruth could think was ‘How the fuck did they do this?’
Ruth was impressed by Veronica’s ability beyond her imagination and asked the second question.
“If I reconstruct my body to resemble how I was when I was alive, can I use the same abilities as when I was alive?”
“Obviously! “In fact, thanks to my touch, you’re stronger now than you were 500 years ago, right?”
It wasn’t a lie.
Certainly, I could sense unusual anger from Veronica from a while ago.
Just standing still and breathing is enough to make 8-year-old Ruth nervous.
If she shows her fighting spirit in earnest… … ?
‘… … We’ve got a pretty annoying stumbling block.’
After strengthening ‘Dragon Footing’, Ruth, who was planning to deal with Veronica, clicked her tongue inwardly.
The Sylvia in front of her right now is not the Sylvia that Ruth knows. A bodyguard who only follows Veronica’s orders.
So fighting Veronica means fighting Sylvia Lan.
‘Sylvia from 500 years ago would have been a daunting opponent for me, but she has become even stronger than then.’
Of course, since I know all of Sylvia’s attack patterns and skills, the fight won’t be impossible at all.
Still, it will not be an easy battle.
‘Well, I’m bound to bump into Sylvia one way or another… … .’
Ruth glanced at Sylvia’s blank expression.
Sylvia Lan’s soul stone.
Now that I have the information that it is here, I have to do whatever it takes to get it.
You must have a soul stone to go to the main temple and resurrect Sylvia as a constellation.
Of course, in order to obtain the soul stone, you must first destroy that head.
‘Fuck, is there such a thing as hardcore?’
Not only did they have to get rid of Veronica, but they also had to deal with Sylvia Lann, who had the power of 500 years ago and even more.
Thanks to you, I learned that Sylvia’s soul stone is here, so I don’t regret coming to ‘Bad Star’… … .
As I thought about the future, which was clearly not going to be smooth, I couldn’t help but sigh inside.
* * *
After that.
Veronica entrusted Sylvia to guide the ‘bad star’ instead.
He said that he would prepare to ‘make Ruth more perfect’ and went off somewhere.
When the two were left alone, Sylvia spoke to Ruth in a gloomy voice.
“Follow me.”
“… … .”
The more I looked at it, the more fascinating it became. How did they reproduce Sylvia’s voice exactly like that?
Sylvia took Ruth around and showed her around the various facilities in ‘Horse City’.
… … To be honest, when Ruth saw it, it was all there.
No matter where I go, I see nothing but the stench, flesh, and blood, so I wondered if there was any meaning in distinguishing between things like ‘facilities.’
For about an hour, Sylvia served as a guide and Ruth guided us while trying to manage her facial expressions.
The last place that Sylvia guided us to was the room where Ruth would live while living in the ‘Bad Castle’.
“You can sleep here.”
“… … .”
Ruth, who had been doing her best to say goodbye, could not help but be at a loss for words at this moment.
room… … .
The room is right.
There is a bed, a carpet, and a small table to put things on.
The problem was that they were all made of flesh and bone fragments… … .
No matter how I looked at the sheets on the bed and the sheets on the floor, which were made of pieces of flesh and bone, they only looked like human skin.
< This body would rather stay in the bathroom than sleep in a place like this… … .>
‘I’m the one who needs to lie down in bed, so why are you making such a fuss, Entur?’
< Anyway, I have to stay in this damn place too! Yeah, yeah! Let's do this! You stay here. This body will sleep outside for a while... … .>
‘Aren’t we a community destined to be together until the day we achieve each other’s goals? ‘Don’t run away cowardly, Entur.’
< Hey, this guy. He usually ignores me like that, but only in times like this does he bring up the fate of the community... … !>
Entur was crying and his shoulders were shaking.
Ruth, lightly ignoring the stares from the side, was wandering around the bed with reluctant steps.
Sylvia said something that made no sense at all in a voice full of coldness.
“Make yourself at home. “If you have any discomfort, you can come to me at any time.”
“Thank you.”
“… … .”
“… … ?”
Instead of leaving the room, Ruth tilted her head as she looked at Sylvia standing blankly in front of the fleshy door.
Why don’t you go out?
“Do you have something to say to me?”
“does not exist.”
“Then, why are you still here instead of leaving?” … .”
“Because my room is here too.”
“… … .”
Ruth had always dreamed of escaping from this damned world, but she had never missed Earth as desperately as she did today.
Having to spend 24 hours with a corpse in a room full of blood and flesh.
What kind of terrible nightmare is this?
At that time, Sylvia turned to the other side and crossed her legs.
Ruth felt that somehow the image seemed familiar, and as she thought about why, she suddenly realized.
The lotus position was Sylvia Lan’s ‘waiting motion’.
This is a pose that the character automatically assumes on its own after a certain period of time has passed after the player takes his or her hands off the mouse and keyboard.
… … I didn’t know they could recreate something like that.
“Don’t worry about me, just relax.”
‘How can you not pay attention, damn it.’
For a moment, Ruth placed her palm on her face without knowing Sylvia, who had turned her back.
“… … hmm?”
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the nape of her neck and his eyes narrowed.
To be more precise, I was surprised to see the strangely designed tattoo on the nape of her neck.
‘That tattoo, no way-.’
You said you restored your abilities from when you were alive, but did you really recreate that?
That was when Ruth opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
“I’m back!”
Veronica shouted in a lively voice and burst into the room.
Ruth quickly wiped the expression from her face again and turned to Veronica.
In her hand was a flask filled with a suspicious-looking red liquid.
“You waited a long time, right? “Did Sylvia do a good job with her guidance?”
“yes.”
“Hehe, good. “Then, shall we begin now?”
Sloshing -.
Veronica shook the flask and smiled sinisterly.
“The first step to becoming a perfect half-human, half-dragon.”
