Chapter 412
‘Ekalim?’
Myeong-hu turned his head upon seeing the message, looking at the boy Ekalim who had been summoned before the pillar.
‘Is that sword his weapon?’
Seeing Ekalim, Myeong-hu couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Beside Ekalim was a sword, presumably his weapon, stuck in the ground. The sword’s size exceeded Ekalim’s height.
‘Well, it wouldn’t be ordinary.’
After all, even if he was a boy, he was a being guarding the pillar. He couldn’t be ordinary.
“So you’re my sparring partner this time?”
Just as Myeong-hu was thinking this while looking at Ekalim, Ekalim spoke. A very bright smile spread across Ekalim’s lips.
Swish
Having finished speaking, Ekalim reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword embedded beside him. He then lifted the sword straight up.
Clang!
The sword embedded in the ground cracked open, revealing itself completely.
“Carrot, Praminus. Guard Haran.”
Myeonghu spoke to Carrot and Praminus behind him while looking at Ekalim. Having finished his words, Myeonghu began running toward Ekalim.
“…?”
But that moment was fleeting. Not long after starting to run, Myeonghu had no choice but to stop.
Swoosh
The reason Myeonghu stopped running was because Ekalim had vanished. Myeonghu quickly scanned the surroundings. Ekalim’s disappearance wasn’t due to stealth. Myeonghu, possessing the Repurem’s token, was certain. Ekalim had vanished for the same reason as Hiragos, whom they had encountered at the northern pillar of the curse.
