Reincarnator Chapter 392:
Chapter 392: Flameless Land (6)
Kiriel decided to go even deeper into the memory .
‘Let’s see what happened . ’
Kiriel focused as she started to read the memory after Clementine’s forces had left .
……………………………
Erunheim’s memories continued .
After Clementine’s forces had gone up .
This place was at peace for a short while .
Sangjin had succeeded in controlling the territory of Reyunion with his abilities .
And none of the Transcendents could do anything while he was there .
But one day .
After going into the place where Clementine’s forces had been digging at .
The peaceful days had ended .
<Gather up . There’s something we need to discuss . >
At Sangjin’s words, all the aliens had gathered for a meeting .
Erunheim didn’t know about the contents of that meeting .
But one thing was clear .
Everything changed after that day .
<We will leave . We all have different opinions and… we need to respect that . >
And Sangjin left after that .
Towards the Pompeion Empire to the south of Reyunion’s territory .
And Erunheim couldn’t figure out the reason behind Sangjin’s parting words .
After that meeting .
Some stayed .
Some went to the Pompeion Empire with Sangjin .
Some went to the Neropa Union .
Erunheim didn’t know what they were all thinking, but one thing was clear .
They each had different plans and had decided to split up .
The Transcendents had all left .
And she never saw them again .
……………………………………………………
‘Mmm . . . This is how things happened? Mmm… I wondered how someone like this had taken over this place . ’
—kiiiiing—
Kiriel nodded as she returned from the memories .
Of course, John Stone wasn’t weak in any sense .
John Stone was by far the strongest out of everyone who had decided to stay, and he was a decent leader .
If not, he wouldn’t have been able to reach this level .
After all, Kiriel didn’t have any confidence that she could beat John Stone in a fight .
‘He’s strong… He’s strong indeed . ’
Kiriel mumbled as she looked at the aura John Stone was radiating .
He was strong .
Although they were all at the 3-Star level, John Stone had stayed here and continued to increase his strength after all .
Of course, he was still lacking in comparison to those who had left .
From Erunheim’s memories, there were at least twenty people who looked stronger than John Stone right now .
And this was only what Erunheim saw .
If they hadn’t all left, John Stone would’ve never been able to take over this place .
“ . . . That is what happened . ”
“Ugh…”
John Stone gritted his teeth at Kiriel who bluntly explained everything she saw to Hansoo .
It was all true, but it made him seem very incompetent .
‘Damned b****…’
Who was it that prettied up this place like this?
Of course, Hansoo didn’t care for John Stone’s thoughts as he made his decision .
‘I should go check inside . ’
The thing that Clementine’s forces had wanted to dig out was definitely the controller he was looking for .
The object that was the reason this place was called the Flameless Land .
But there was something strange .
Two years was not a short time .
No matter how well-hidden the External Flame Divine Tool, or whether other things had gotten in their way of digging it out, two years was more than enough time to accomplish their goals .
But Clementine’s forces had relinquished it and gone up instead .
And an even stranger thing was Sangjin and the other people’s actions .
Sangjin had checked the insides and had left afterwards .
There was a reason for this .
And he needed to check it out .
“Which direction?”
“This way . ”
As Hansoo looked to the direction Kiriel pointed to—
—John Stone knew instinctively .
That these people were aiming for the same thing as him .
These guys shouldn’t know anything since they’d just come up, but every single one of John Stone’s instinct was crying out in danger .
He sensed it .
That these people were going for the object hidden deep within this place .
The object that was supposed to be his .
“No!”
—boooom!—
John Stone’s aura exploded outwards along with a shout .
His entire body burned up in dark red flames .
‘No! Do you know how much I’ve struggled for that?!’
Flames spewed out from John Stone’s eyes .
John Stone’s trait .
Berserk Mode .
It was a very simple trait, but there was nothing as good as a trait like this when it came to a battle .
A rage that burned the second he felt danger from his opponent .
It was similar to Enbi Arin’s Tainted Emotion, but there were clear differences .
Unlike Enbi Arin’s trait, which only raised two stats depending on the emotion, John Stone’s trait increased all his stats through either rage or fear .
The downside was… his decision-making skills and sanity became very clouded .
‘No!’
As his Berserk Mode activated—
—the fear he felt towards Hansoo started to wash away .
And rage replaced it all .
“Kuaaaaap!”
—whoooosh!—
The giant axe on John Stone’s back rose up along with his Berserk Mode .
The monster that appeared on the 6th Zone .
An axe created from a monster that was famous for its hard exoskeleton, the Atantael .
The blade was created by sharpening its exoskeleton and its handle was made from its bones .
The axe, which played a huge part in helping John Stone rise up to his current position, flew towards Hansoo’s neck .
—swoooosh!—
Kiriel looked at the axe and thought to herself:
‘ . . . Brute . ’
Her trait, Psychometry, was amazing in a sense that it allowed her to quickly become stronger and gave her a lot of answers .
But it was still lacking in a battle .
In the end, she felt that it would be difficult for her to deal with this brute currently charging towards Hansoo .
But Kiriel just looked around in boredom .
‘I guess everyone has their own job . ’
She just needed to do her own .
But Hansoo acted outside her expectations .
The moment Hansoo saw John Stone charging towards him, he spoke to Kiriel .
“Let’s go . ”
“Huh?”
‘You aren’t going to kill him off?’
Kiriel was confused, but her actions were still very quick .
Even before the axe got anywhere close to them .
—kiiiing!—
Clouds appeared from Kiriel’s body and covered their bodies .
Then—
—whoooosh!—
—the axe started to cut apart the clouds .
“Hahahahaha…hah?”
John Stone’s expression turned dark as he cut through the clouds .
‘I don’t feel like anything got cut…?’
And then—
—John Stone focused on the insides of the cloud where Hansoo and the woman should’ve been at .
“What the… Where did they go? Uaaaahh!”
John Stone, who was still in his Berserk Mode, shouted in rage as he looked at the empty land before him .
…………………………………………
—charrrrk—
Above the depths .
White clouds started to appear above the hole .
Then—
—whooosh—
The clouds disappeared, revealing the figures of Hansoo and Kiriel .
“Nice… We really arrived!”
Kiriel exclaimed out loud at her newly learned skill .
She had read about the skill’s explanations but using it was a whole other sensation .
The depths that she’d seen in Erunheim’s memories was in front of them .
Hansoo asked Kiriel:
“How are you?”
He was asking about her status .
Kiriel looked at her body and replied:
“There seems to be a lot of limitations . It drains a lot of my stamina and… I don’t think we can use it as a means of escape . ”
A new skill .
<Cloudy Movement> .
She realized after using it .
One could move with no restrictions to distance, and once the skill was activated, they would become untargetable until it ended .
But there were a lot of limitations .
The biggest one was the user’s beliefs during a battle .
If one used the skill because they decided they couldn’t win in the battle, then the skill would not activate .
It only activated because she believed Hansoo could still win .
If she were alone, the skill would’ve never activated .
‘What a petty fairy . Should at least allow me to run away with it . ’
Of course, running away wasn’t the best option, but knowing that one had a means of escape would allow them to fight with more confidence .
But Hansoo chuckled .
“Well, it has a good synergy with your trait . ”
“ . . . Right . ”
Kiriel nodded .
Cloudy Movement .
<Moving anywhere within one’s memories . >
This meant that to Kiriel, who could read memories, it had a great deal of synergy .
She had brought herself and Hansoo here using the memories of Erunheim .
‘It’ll be very useful . ’
Kiriel then asked Hansoo:
“Anyway, why did you want to come here right away?”
‘Instead of beating him . ’
Kiriel didn’t voice her whole opinion .
It made her sound too blunt .
Hansoo looked down into the depths and said:
“I felt like we needed to come here quickly . ”
When he heard the memories that Kiriel read…
Hansoo felt that something was amiss .
A feeling that urged him to hurry .
If he had engaged in battle, then he would’ve had to fight John Stone and everyone else who followed afterward .
‘It . . . It doesn’t feel quite right . ’
And he realized it as he looked down .
As to what was making him feel this uneasy .
The darkness that had almost separated from the crystal .
The adventurers who had been cutting away the darkness then shouted at Hansoo .
“Huh? Who are you guys?”
“This place is off-limits?”
Hansoo looked around the crystal, the people around it and then turned towards Kiriel .
“Let’s go in . ”
“Yes . ”
His goal was right before his eyes .
These brats weren’t his opponents at all .
After speaking to Kiriel, Hansoo jumped into the depths .
Towards the crystal that was being tied down by the darkness .
