“Crazy woman ... what the fuck with your attack, huh?!” Zegion rampaged and shouted loudly.
Arcturus was sweating a little because the Lich floating in front of him was terrifying. He had a lot of bad experiences with this Lich bastard.
“It seems that he was really surprised by your attack, Alda,” Arcturus said with a small laugh. “You must be surprised because a physical attack can hurt you.”
This was good information because Zegion was weak against Alda's sword. In his previous life Arcturus had faced off with Zegion several times.
But in each fight Arcturus was not with Alda because at that time he directed him to do more crucial things.
At that time Arcturus did not yet have information about the absorbent attribute. He only found out about it during the chaos last time that made him have to repeat the world.
“That attribute shouldn't be in your hands .. I'll pick it up soon!”
Zegion spread out both his hands, his robe fluttered by the wind and immediately a bluish fire seeped out from his body.
the ground beneath the Zegion slowly shattered and formed a huge sphere. A bluish flame immediately burned it, creating meteors from the blazing bluish flames.
“It is dangerous ... quickly go!” Jomu said with a groaning voice. He seems to have reached his limit.
Arcturus was amazed by Jomu's resilience in being able to stay alive despite receiving such injuries.
The meteor with the blue fire was clearly dangerous but somehow Arcturus did not feel panic or worry. Meteorites are not a threat.
Although it might be a shame to leave everything to Alda, and maybe he will be troubled to overcome it but Arcturus is sure everything will be fine.
In addition, Arcturus has more information than any other.
“Are you sure you'll tie yourself up to face us now? Don't tell me you forgot your main goal.”
Zegion could not have come just to kill Jomungandr and destroy the Eastern Port. He had a goal that was not trivial until doing all of this.
“You talk as if you know everything. If I had a goal like you said, what could be achieved from this place?”
The East Port has nothing but ships and fish. Moreover, this was only a city that became a fortress of the ocean to prevent the attack of the northern continent later.
What can be taken from a place like this? Is it a treasure? Of course not, Undead like the Zegion did not need such materialistic things.
As a reader and a person who lived this world twice, Arcturus knew about many things. Although he did not predict that Zegion had come this fast yet he knew the purpose of this bastard.
Arcturus acted as if he was thinking hard to find the answer but his mocking smile was not hidden.
“You are an undead that I believe regrets being a permanent disembodied being.”
Undead is a type of soul existence that is settled and does not go to nature. They only had two things that made him settle down.
Starting from having regrets in his previous life and there are goals that he wants to achieve before his death. This type of undead usually seeks to resolve regrets or find a way to go to the final resting place.
However Lich like Zegion is a different case. He became an Undead because of his personal desires, not because he had regrets or goals that had to be achieved at any cost.
This bastard was not looking for a way to seek the final resting place, yet he just kept on seeking strength.
The power required by the Undead and the bastard groups like the Black Parade.
“You may be looking for "Special Porridge" in this place.”
Arcturus could not see the face behind Zegion's hood, but he was sure the bastard was stunned even a little.
The Special Porridge is a parable of the thing that Zegion was looking for. It was a relic from the past, although not an Artifact but its benefits were irreplaceable.
“I just heard it for the first time. What is food made with animal feces?”
“If a bastard as old as you don't know, then you're just a fish in a small pond.”
A stupid lie, it's impossible that Zegion didn't know it. In this place maybe only Alda does not know about the Special Porridge.
It was an object that Arcturus had planned to take.
“Thank you, I am very proud to be blessed with this ability,”, Arcturus said. “Don't you have to look for that thing instead of dealing with us? That damn queen will definitely be sad when she finds out you're wasting your time.”
Alda had only listened since, he knew this was not the right time for intervention as the party knew nothing about all this.
But unlike Alda, the other existences did not consider such a thing.
“Queen? Yang ... you mean—”
Arcturus smiled wryly, he wished it was better for Jomu to just shut up.
“Ya, leader of Black Parade.”
The queen who led the Black Parade ruffians and made Lich her accomplice. He was a terrible person, Arcturus could not forget his first encounter with the woman.
“Creepy Blood Queen,” Arcturus smiles to Zegion.
Arcturus does not want to reveal it at this stage, it is because he will get supervision and troublesome things. Anyone who knew about the Queen at this stage would definitely get the attention of the Black Parade.
“....who are you? You are definitely not an ordinary bastard.”
Zegion reacted strongly for the first time. How not? The leader who has been hidden from the world is actually known by someone.
A weak young man from an old noble household who only enjoyed his own territory. Not to mention that it was in a remote region, how could a young man like this know about it?
“It doesn't matter who I am. Shouldn't you be aware that the Queen won't be silent when she finds out you're lounging?”
“...”
Zegion became silent for a long time. Until finally the fire of his lantern was slightly dim as if showing him finished thinking.
The meteor with its blue flame also started flying away and its shape began to shrink.
“Maybe it is true that the Queen will not forgive. But do you know? With the information that a small shrimp knew about it, it was enough to ease his anger even though I failed to get the Special Porridge.”
Arcturus quietly breathed a sigh of relief as Zegion looked about to retreat. Starting a serious fight with him here was not profitable. Even the current Alda was still not strong enough to challenge the Zegion.
“Yes, tell him that. That an ugly young man knows his figure.”
From behind his hood Zegion might smile, a small laughter voice also came out from him.
“Your face is quite a rancid boy. You are clearly included in his type.”
‘Crazy backpack.’
Arcturus did not want to reveal to Zegion about the Blood Queen for that reason.
In his previous life he was hunted all-out because of the Blood Queen's order that wanted him. She is a woman who has a great passion for men who meet her criteria.
“Well, this time you won. But no other time, the next meeting will be a battle full of blood. Arcturus Religia and the bastard woman, I will remember you both.”
Zegion slowly floated up, he looked down and stared alternately between Arcturus and Alda.
“I'll give you a farewell gift. Handle this well!”
The shrinking meteorite began to drift in a certain direction. From the vibe it seems that Zegion deliberately shrunk it and will make it explode.
“Crazy bastard stop it!”
Arcturus exasperated to know where the meteor was going.
“Ha ha ha, see you soon!”
Zegion immediately disappeared with his teleportation. But this is not the end because the meteor that is heading to the East Port will soon explode.
