Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

Chapter 75



Darkness Fallen (5)

Han-bin and his party were relieved.

If Kibie were such a powerful Aura user, it wouldn’t be a big deal for her to get into the Great Maze.

Ryu Han-bin had a strange look on his face.

“By the way, are you really an Aura user?”

Kibie was puzzled.

“Why do you sound disappointed? Do I look weak?”

“No, that’s not it…”

Han-bin smiled bitterly.

He was thinking about something else entirely.

“I wish you were a Spiritist.”

Their party already had an Aura user, a Mage, and a Magic Swordsman.

He thought it would be perfect if a Spiritist joined. However, another warrior came instead.

“Oh, no, there’s no healer, but there are more dealers.”

Kibie easily understood his earthly expression.

“Is that so? I couldn’t help it. I had only one choice, and that was Aura.”

The men who had raided Kybriel of Darkness were the most powerful Mage, Spiritist, and Magic Swordsman on Latna.

Mana, Prana, and Force were all out of her control.

“The only thing I could control was Aura. But I’ve saved some of my abilities as an incarnation. I wouldn’t be so incompetent, would I?”

“No, I don’t think you are incompetent.”

Regardless, with her being an Aura user, keeping her identity a secret had become easier.

All she had to do was go to the Tyaron Hunter Guild and register as a Hunter.

Unlike Ryu Han-bin’s case, it didn’t matter that Kibie’s past did not exist.

In the first place, the Hunter system was designed for the open identity laundry.

Because of the Dungeons, there were so many wandering people, and it was common for underdogs of yesterday to become the champion of tomorrow.

Under the existing system, the world had become unmanageable.

Therefore, it was better to register her identity voluntarily.

She would have some inhibition, and she would be able to get at least a clue if she made an accident later.

“Then should we go to the Hunter Guild?”

They were just about to leave.

Ryu Han-bin looked back at Kibie.

“Wait, what about her level? Kibie, your level is unknown in my eyes right now.”

She replied that there was nothing strange about it.

“I am the darkness of the world. That is my essence. Is there a level in the night sky? Do shadows have a level? Of course, it appears as unknown.”

“No, that’s not the problem…”

Han-bin asked again, waving his hands.

“Isn’t it going to be identified by the measurement stone?”

“Of course.”

In response to Kibie’s calm answer, Ryu Han-bin imagined the possible situation for a moment.

She would go into the Hunter Guild.

She would say she wanted to be a Hunter.

But what if her level appeared to be unknown?

-Ahhhhhhh! Alien!

-I’m not an Alien. Since I am an incarnation, my level is unknown.

-Ahhhhhhh! She’s a crazy Alien!

“Have you ever thought that…?”

Kibie showed no signs of worry.

“Do you think I am a fool? I’ve thought about that.”

* * *

The next day.

A group of people entered the reception of the Tyaron Hunter Guild.

It was the so-called ‘Artis Team.’ which was getting more and more popular lately.

Although the Valtara warrior Felard Bean was the team’s strongest player, technically, he was not a Hunter but Artis’s assistant.

They had to register the team under Artis’s name.

The Hunters in the hall on the first floor who saw the Han-bin group began to murmur among themselves.

“Oh, it’s the Valtara warrior.”

“I heard that he closed Rengard Dungeon.”

“I heard they’re planning to go into the Ice-Flame Forest.”

“Already into the Four Prohibited Areas? That’s amazing.”

The expressions of everyone immediately changed.

There was a strange woman among the team.

‘Huh?’

‘Who is that woman?’

She was an amazing beauty, causing their eyes to magnetize towards her.

She was 175-centimeter tall, had slim legs, a narrow waist, and full breasts.

Her thick black hair, tied into three braids, perfectly contrasted against her white skin.

She had an elegant body reminiscent of a truly beautiful yet weak-motivated beast, such as a leopard or cheetah.

The Hunters felt a little shy.

It wasn’t just because she was a beauty.

‘Who is she?’

‘What kind of girl is that?’

She was only wearing short leather shorts, a chest cover, boots, and belts.

She had a large spear on her back, which was fully exposed, much like her slim waist, abdomen, and thighs.

Simply put, she wore the same dress as Felard Bean!

‘No way?’

In everyone’s confusion, Han-bin and his party walked to the reception desk.

The receptionist greeted them.

“Welcome, Mr. Artis. By the way, is this?”

Pointing at the woman, Artis replied.

“She’s a new team member. She’s here to register.”

Indeed, the receptionist for Tyaron Hunter Guild was different from Highten.

As soon as the receptionist heard his answer, he quickly wrapped around the measurement stone and asked carefully.

“… Can she break it with her bare hands?”

“She can do that easily.”

Artis smiled confidently.

It seemed that Kibie had already guessed what it was.

The woman pulled out her long spear.

Zoom!

A pitch-black light traveled through the spear, illuminating the hall on the first floor.

A few Hunter immediately noticed and shouted.

“Aura!”

“That young woman?”

Looking at the beautiful woman with black hair, the receptionist stared blankly at her.

“Oh, as expected….”

“Yes.”

Artis confirmed his conjecture.

“She is a female warrior of the Valtara clan.”

* * *

Kibie’s solution was very simple.

“Why the hell are you still thinking? There’s an answer right here.”

She was going to go in as a Valtara.

Unlike Ryu Han-bin, however, it wasn’t a lie.

“When I chose an incarnation, I chose the best lineage among Althea’s creations.”

Althea of light had created humanity, and the most talented of all humans were the Valtara warriors.

In terms of her body, Kibie could pass as a female warrior from Valtara.

Han-bin muttered, looking at her features.

“I thought you looked like an Asian…”

“I wanted to choose one of my creations, but I didn’t have enough energy left to do that.”

The Han-bin group dressed Kibie as a member of the Valtara clan.

Ryu Han-bin had experience in producing barbarian costumes, so it wasn’t that difficult.

“Oh, but the problem is that her skin is too white. I think she should get a suntan.”

“It’s okay, Artis. Valtara women usually have white skin. Only men are dark-toned.”

Wearing proper attire and carrying a long spear on her back, she looked like a great barbarian.

Looking back, Kibie grinned.

“What do you think? I look like them, right?”

Artis and Effir nodded.

“I suppose so.”

“You’re so pretty, sister. Maybe because you have a nice body, you look good in a barbarian outfit.”

Of course, Han-bin couldn’t find a place to put his eyes on.

“No, that’s too revealing…”

She looked like a warrior, but she was covered only in places that needed to be covered.

It was embarrassing for a man to walk around like that, but what about a woman?

“You’re a Goddess. Is that okay?”

But neither Kibie nor Artis nor Effir found it strange in any way.

“What’s the problem?”

“I’m a Valtara warrior.”

“I don’t know what you’re ashamed of.”

“…”

They visited the Hunter Guild the next day.

The situation was the same as that of Ryu Han-bin.

Without any doubt, the receptionist gave them her ID card.

“Kibie has been registered as Mr. Artis’s escort.”

[Tyaron Hunter Guild: Kibie Bierne, Guard Knight of Artis Venetian]

“Good!”

The Valtara female warrior, who received her ID card, hit the window on the floor and shouted cheerfully.

“I’m protecting Artis!”

Hunters, who were watching, nodded their heads as they were deeply impressed.

“Oh!”

“She is a Valtara warrior!”

“Isn’t it a romp?”

Only Ryu Han-bin had a blunt face and was expressing his lamentation.

‘… I think this world’s too crazy…’

* * *

The dark sanctuary lost its owner.

With the black temple in front of him, the Thunder King Garhan sighed.

“It’s all messed up.”

The conspiracy had been successful.

They got the power of Kybriel.

The divinity of the Goddess, her great power, was in their hands.

Other Goddesses’ interference had also been ruled out.

Land, water, fire, wind, light, and darkness.

The balance of the six powers in charge of Latna was broken, and the Goddesses could no longer involve themselves in the material world.

Only the power of the Goddesses as a ‘phenomenon’ controlled the world.

Their seals would only be released after a new dark spirit emerged, replacing Kybriel.

By then, however, the trio would already be the gods and goddesses of darkness.

They had become one of the pillars of providence so that no one could confront them.

Everything went according to plan.

“If we hadn’t missed her at the end.”

Thanks to it, the knowledge and wisdom of darkness had been sealed.

The trio had robbed the divinity of the Goddess, but that was all.

They could not deal with what they had stolen.

“We can’t overcome our life limit!”

Genovia gnashed her teeth, calculating the remaining time of her life.

“Oh, my God, I only have about five years left…”

On the other side of the dark, Hollien made a mockery.

“See, I told you it wasn’t going to work out, didn’t I? Anyway, you ignored me.”

It was not the time to fight against each other.

They needed to find a solution.

In a calm tone, Genovia murmured.

“First of all, we need to find Kybriel. The problem is how we’d be able to do that…”

Latna continent was wide.

Even the three strongest kings who ruled the world wouldn’t be able to find a single human easily.

“And if we don’t know her name, her trace, and her appearance, it would be even harder.”

Hollien took her word.

“It’s not that we don’t know anything. At least we know she’s a woman. That’s all that matters.”

The trio did not confirm Kybriel’s incarnation.

She was a Goddess, so they guessed her incarnation could be a woman.

“We can’t do anything on the condition that she’s a young woman. Even if we try to hire someone to find her, we have to tell them who we’re looking for.”

Garhan made a serious face.

“There is a way to specify the incarnation.”

The body of the Goddess had one characteristic.

Through the Guideline, a unique message popped up.

[Race: Goddess. Lv. Unknown.]

“With the ability of Aliens, we can identify the incarnation of the Goddess.”

Hollien asked back in doubt.

“Are you going to release Great Earth and make them find her? Will it work? We can’t go through all of the vast Latna lands with just 30 people.”

Garhan shook his head with a stiff face.

“I didn’t say ‘the’ Great Earth.”

She was mistaken.

Tho ones Garhan mentioned were not his loyal staff serving as his subordinates, only disguised as Great Earth’s remnants.

“I’m talking about something else.”

Hundreds of crazed monsters in the world, handled by the strongest four men 33 years ago.

“That number would be enough to explore the entire continent.”

Hollien asked back in dismay.

“Are you serious? Are you going to release those bloodthirsty lunatics again?”

“Then, is there any other way?”

“Well…”

She looked at Garhan and Genovia alternately with a weary face.

Was it because there was a difference in the time left for them?

Unlike her, a Nymph, the two ‘human’ seemed to have already made their decisions.

“Yes, it’s not the time to decide what we use.”

“We don’t have much time left.”

Garhan gave a gruesome smile.

“I will unseal the Akhtarun.”
