Ending Maker

Chapter 3 - EPISODE 3 – PLEIADES (3)

Terms used in this chapter:

Reading a Korean book?– (??? ??) it refers to monotone acting. It came from students reading aloud the Korean textbooks indifferently without showing any emotion. This expression is usually used for those who can’t act, so they end up saying things in a monotone manner.

Gueumjulmaek refers to a constitution in which the inner Yi energy is so strong that an abnormality occurs in the whole meridians and the circulation of qi is not properly achieved.

Therefore, in order to treat Gueumjulmaek, it was necessary to relieve the Yin energy that were blocking the meridians at once.

“Do you know what Jude will eat in half a year?”

“I know. It’s the Sunfire Carp.”

“Oh, it’s not 2nd?place anymore.”

“Hmmm, I’m a little…rather, why do you keep saying?second,?second place?”

Cordelia warned sharply, but Jude just laughed.

It was fun when he teased her in the chat window, but now that Yellow Storm had become an incomparably beautiful girl and showed her expressions, it had become more interesting.

“Well, as you know anyway, the Sunfire Carp is a carp that possesses extreme Yang energy.”

“So, let’s go fishing to catch it?”

“Are you really the second in the server?”

“I am? I’m the second in the server?”

“Yes, I’m the first.”

When Cordelia trembled and clenched her fists, Jude moved on to the next topic. Controlling the degree of anything was important.

‘And…this person was a little different from me.’

They were Outboxer009 and Yellow Storm that had ranked 1st?and 2nd?on the server back-to-back, but in fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that their playstyles took completely different paths.

‘I was an attacker, and she was a fighter.’

If Outboxer009 was an attacker who gained points for achievements by digging into the limit of characters, events, and items that exist in the game, Yellow Storm was the ultimate combat fighter that raised scores by hunting a lot.

Of course, both were rotten waters, so Outboxer009 is also a good fighter, and Yellow Storm also knew enough about?Legend of Heroes 2, but their majors were different.

‘Whatever.’

Jude, who erased the distractions from his head, spoke quickly.

“If we can get in our hands an item with powerful Yang energy, we can treat the Gueumjulmaek much faster.”

“I know that, but was there something like that?”

Cordelia frowned and groped her memory.

Although there were quite a lot of items with Yang energy other than the Sunfire Carp that Jude had mentioned, it was questionable if Jude and Cordelia could find it for themselves now.

“There is one. Near that, too. You know what I’m talking about, right?”

“Huh? Uh… Well… Oh, that’s it. That. Well, there was that.”

Cordelia nodded, as if awkwardly reading a Korean book.

“Yes, that. So please help me deal with it. That’s what I need to prepare.”

“Oh, I know. Yes, I know.”

What does she know? Jude could completely see that she didn’t know anything.

Jude shook his tongue and decided to give the right answer. It was fun to tease her, but time wasn’t infinite.

“You can just wear the Sun’s Necklace that Leisegang has.”

“Yeah, if you wear the Sun’s necklace of Leisegang…Leisegang?! Demon Leisegang- Eep!”

A startled Cordelia jumped up from her seat and tried to raise her voice, but fortunately, she was able to cut it in the middle.

Jude, who hurriedly shut Cordelia’s mouth, said in a low voice.

“Hey, we’re meeting each other in secret, remember?”

It was midnight, a quiet time for the entire place.

It was a good thing that most of the people in the house followed Jude’s father and were out. Otherwise, someone would have come by after hearing the sound.

“Be serious, okay? I’ll take my hand off only when you’ve calmed down, okay?”

Cordelia nodded at Jude’s reminder.

“Okay, here.”

“Fuuhua-! Hey, are you really talking about that Leisegang? The Red Moon Demon Leisegang?”

As soon as Jude pulled his hand out, Cordelia asked quickly in a low voice. She looked dumbfounded.

“Yes, the Red Moon’s Leisegang.”

“Are you crazy? How will you defeat him? Don’t you know that its level is like a bully to us right now?”

The Red Moon’s Leisegang.

A demon sealed in the north of the S?len Kingdom, and one of the mid-bosses that appeared in the middle of?Legend of Heroes 2.

Outboxer009 and Yellow Storm were rotten waters, but no matter how much rotten Cordelia was, it was impossible to defeat him with her current power, which is as if she had just started the game.

Jude also admitted it.

“Yes, how do we defeat it? But this is really like you, Yellow Storm. You can only hold your head tightly.”

“You said you needed the Sun’s Necklace. That’s the Leisegang drop item.”

Five hundred years ago, it was the Sun Paladin Gallus who sealed the Red Moon’s Leisegang.

Leisegang took Gallus’ life at his last attack just before being sealed, and in the process, the Sun’s Necklace, the relic of the sun god that Gallus possessed, was sealed with Leisegang.

Because Gallus was already dead, the priests of the sun god completed the seal, believing that the nature of the Sun’s Necklace would weaken the power of Leisegang, and thanks to this, the Sun’s Necklace became the drop item of Leisegang.

“We won’t kill the demon. We’ll just steal the item.”

“How? And don’t you have to unseal it in the first place to get to Leisegang? What are you going to do with that? I’m still only a 1-star wizard.”

“Yes, and I have a disease, so I can’t even be villager A. So, we use Bellastin’s Magic Circle.”

“Bellastin’s Magic Circle?”

“Bellastin’s Magic Circle. If you use it, it’ll be possible to call out Leisegang for some time while maintaining the seal’s power. We just need to take the Sun’s Necklace away from the one who can’t move because of the seal, and then seal it again.”

“Say… It seems to be that…”

Bellastin was a powerful wizard who appeared in the latter half of the heroic period.

With proper application of his chain magic, it would be possible to call out the main body of the bound demon for a while, as Jude had said, while maintaining the seal of Leisegang.

“That… But.”

“What is it?”

“That… Wasn’t it really complicated? The magic circle?”

Cordelia had once visited the walkthrough website.

It was rumored to be the perfect magic circle for sealing a demon, but she found it too complicated to draw now even if it was right beside her, so she had abandoned the thought of using it.

At Cordelia’s question, Jude nodded.

“Of course, I know. I’ve already ripped off the item a few times from Leisegang. Oh, can’t you draw?”

“Ah, no? I can draw it too? How many times have I drawn it? Because I memorized everything too?”

“Right? Yeah, I think so. It’s 2nd?in the server. Don’t tell me you can’t memorize that one.”

Cordelia smiled awkwardly with a tearful face as Jude patted her shoulder and gave her a trusting look.

‘Wow, it’s all over her face.’

He now knew why she didn’t use the voice chat. She seemed like the type who could never lie.

“Yes, since the wizard is you, I’ll ask you to draw it. Really reliable, reliable. I will only believe in you, Yellow Storm.”

“Uh… Yes. Trust me, only me. Yes. Only me…”

The appearance of Cordelia, who smiled with no confidence, was indeed spectacular.

“Then let’s take the Sun’s Necklace that Leisegang has as our first quest target.”

“But isn’t it a little far away? I don’t think I’ll be able to make a short trip at night.”

The place where Leisegang was sealed was an abandoned temple in the middle of the Belkain Mountains.

It was a half-day drive from the frontier city where Count Bayer and Count Chase lived.

“Yes, so I thought about it. There’s a solution for this, too.”

“What is it?”

“You and I are engaged for now, aren’t we?”

“Well, that’s true?”

Cordelia slipped back at the word of “engagement”, and Jude also felt awkward by it.

Yellow Storm and engagement.

Meaning a promise of marriage.

It seemed like he was going to feel dizzy thinking of it, but in any case, using anything available was the mindset of an attacker.

“So, let’s go on a date.”

“Date?”

“A date in a carriage.”

“Who? You, you and me?”

“You and I. Outboxer and Yellow Storm. 1st?place and 2nd?place.”

What would the people in the chat room say when they see this situation?

Cordelia had already made her white face even whiter – a creepy look in a word, and she hardened, and Jude had a similar expression.

“Oh, it seems like the time limit is coming.”

“Time limit?”

“Yes, my Gueumjulmaek.”

After a long time in the night air, his hands and feet were already cold, and it seemed that the night dew would continue to spread throughout the place.

“Are you okay? Would you like a <Heal>?”

“I’d appreciate it. But the way, how do you use magic? What about magic usage? Is it okay? It’s a little different from the game, right?”

“It’s a lot different. It’s amazing. Well, it’s really fantastic.”

Unlike Jude Bayer who was born with a disease, Cordelia Chase was a wizard who had been well-established from the beginning.

She used <Fly> magic to cross over the fence just ago.

Since arriving at the garden, Cordelia had felt tired and weak from being swayed around by Jude. But now, she was smiling confidently.

“Fufufu, take this <Body Heal>.”

“Yes, yes.”

Cordelia put her hand on Jude’s forehead, closed her eyes and chanted the spell. The beautiful appearance of Cordelia and the green light coming from her hands were combined, making it a truly spectacular sight.

“What do you think? Did it work?”

“Yes. It’s a little easier to breathe now.”

Jude thought he could get back to his room safely.

“Then I’ll go back for now.”

Cordelia put the hood on again. Although Count Bayer and Count Chase were neighbors, but they weren’t right next to each other, so it would take some time to get back.

“I’m sorry, if I can treat my disease, I’ll try to cross over the fence of your house.”

“No thanks? I’m fine with just the date plan, okay?”

A date request.

“Hey, shouldn’t we just call it the quest for Leisegang?”

“Yes, yes. That would be good for our mental health.”

Jude and Cordelia stood side by side and awkwardly bade each other farewell.

“Then, go. Good night.”

“Yeah, good night to you too. Dream of me.”

Cordelia, who answered with a middle finger to his habitual greeting, flew up and crossed the wall.

“Ha, that’s real magic.”

The world where angels and demons exist, as well as magic.

Looking at the wall where Cordelia had disappeared for a moment, Jude turned in the direction of the Belkain Mountains.

Red Moon’s Leisegang and the Sun’s Necklace.

It was the beginning of their plans.
