Chapter 3 - EPISODE 3 – PLEIADES (3) (1/2)
Terms used in this chapter:
Reading a Korean book – (국어책 읽기) 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 Sälen 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.”
