Chapter 153: The Great Forest (8)

...

Karavan shouted. At that moment, a torrent of arrows that contained world power struck the horned monsters and the Dead Men.

[Deusen. Castrophen. Turga!]

[Turga!]

It was a language that could not be translated. But Jaehwan understood what was said. He couldn’t make out the language itself, but it seemed the meaning was being transferred to him.

‘Get lost, dogs of Daeus and Catastrophe!’

‘Get lost!’

That’s what they meant. He saw the Lost Ones moving away, one by one. Who were these people? Jaehwan then saw them.

They looked like normal humans. They had giant bows or spears, resembling the Native Americans of World 294, Earth, but there was a large amount of world power coming from them.

[Turga!]

As the Lost Ones retreated, they now pointed their arrowheads and spears at Jaehwan. World power of at least a million was directed towards Jaehwan and his group — even Karavan flinched and stepped back.

“Wh-what the hell…?”

They seemed to be carrying ancient [Parts], but the vicious energy coming from them easily defied their archaic appearance. They were created with ages of training since a very long time ago. Karavan swallowed and Runald hid behind Jaehwan’s leg as he shook in fear. As they pulled back their bows, Jaehwan and the others realized that they were not friendly.

Maybe these people were trying to kill them.

It was when those people were about to shoot their arrows, Jaehwan spoke.

“Long Living race.”

He didn’t know how he knew, but the words just came to his mind. After he said it, he realized why he had déjà vu earlier. He knew the place because Mulack had visited it 900 years ago.

‘I see. So, Mulack met them before.’

Mulack called them the ‘Long Living race’ in his Record of the Depth. The people of the Long Living race looked at each other after they heard what Jaehwan had said. Their hostility waned.

“What? Do you know them?”

Karavan looked at Jaehwan, but he had no way to explain.

“No.”

“Then how…”

“It’s my [Setting]. I just have a way to find out sometimes.”

He didn’t have such a [Setting], but he didn’t feel like explaining everything. He didn’t technically lie about the Record of the Depth anyway.

“What kind of [Setting] is that..”

However, Karavan was cut short.

[Janshor. Nas. Merga.]

‘Do you know us?’

‘Who are you?’

One of them spoke to Jaehwan.

“We are…”

Jaehwan wasn’t sure how to describe themselves. He realized the name of these people, but he wasn’t sure what kind of people they were. The Record of the Depth didn’t give him any other information.

‘Daeus? Catastrophe? Geshtalt?’

Jaehwan thought about the names of the Three Ancient Gods. If they too were Lost Ones, then they must be the Followers of one of those three. It was likely that they were the Followers of Geshtalt from what they just did earlier.
