by fnovelpia“Is everyone okay?”
“We are fine.”
Halo shook himself off and stood up.
Astradik also stood up, shaking his head.
But Ronika stood up without answering and looked ahead.
Powerful explosion.
The man and the Death Knight at the end of the range were alive and safe.
“Ha… .”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
But even for a moment.
They encountered the training center director.
I wondered if there would be a fight, but fortunately there was no mood to fight.
If things continue like this, I can safely return –
Coo goo goo.
“Ugh. Vibration again?… .”
“Quuk!… That’s not the problem. A powerful force… … .”
Another problem arose.
A pillar of light rising into the sky.
My body was suddenly shaking.
An unbelievable feeling of intimidation.
Even though I was far away, I got goosebumps.
It felt like my whole body was being crushed by something.
A high-ranking devil has descended.
I got scared.
I guess I barely survived the explosion and have no strength. What if those two beings get hurt?
Then our eyes met.
With the black-haired man who tried to step back.
“… ah… … .”
He looks somewhat surprised.
But soon, the atmosphere changed drastically.
The man stepped forward, raising an ominous black energy.
It was truly a blink of an eye.
Leap at invisible speed.
An ice sword full of anticipation appeared at that moment.
A black energy covered it.
What an enemy!!!
With a single strike, a huge mountain of ice rose from the tip of the sword behind the devil’s back.
The devil, unable to withstand the impact, had his arm broken and his body cut.
The man also allowed the blow, but continued to cut the devil’s entire body with a fierce sword strike that made him feel like he was going to collapse.
A single sword strike cuts dozens of places.
I couldn’t take my eyes off the overwhelming force.
The devil’s face exploded immediately. Red ice fragments were scattered everywhere.
“Crazy. What did we see?… .”
“Is such inaction really possible? … .”
Astradic and Tsunami also expressed surprise, perhaps confusion.
A battle like you’ve never seen in your life.
I was overwhelmed.
What level do you have to reach to show off such inaction?
“Ah!… .”
At that time, Ronika opened her eyes wide.
Because I saw a black-haired man fall down.
chuck.
But fortunately, the Death Knight appeared, picked up the man, and disappeared somewhere.
Two short and thick beings.
That’s how I left the battlefield.
“… ha… … thank god… .”
Ronika clasped her hands together.
Astradik asked as if it was strange to see that.
“What are you glad about? Aren’t Death Knights enemies too? They kidnapped me and escaped unharmed?”
“… to… … I don’t know.”
I really don’t know.
Is it really the enemy?
I couldn’t understand why I felt relieved that the two people were safe.
“Whew… Thank goodness.”
However, the tsunami next to me somehow showed a similar reaction to Ronica.
“Instructor? What are you lucky about, instructor?”
“Oh, no. Don’t worry about it.”
Instructor Tsunami.
He knows the identity of the black-haired man.
He is like a teacher who transformed him into a stronger person and taught him sword techniques, and is a pet that Ronica cherishes.
That’s why I had a similar reaction to Ronica.
I’m glad you got out safely.
“Both are strange. I’m the only one feeling strange.”
“Keuhum. I think it would be best to go back now. If you get caught while you’re here, you’ll be in a lot of trouble.”
“Chet. I understand.”
Ronica also turned around following the two people.
But what was it?
Black haired man.
I have doubts.
Was it a coincidence that we made eye contact?
Is that black color so common?
if… .
What if they are all one person?
What if it’s black?
… Shaking my head.
I shook my head.
The Black Man and the Death Knight were enemies who fought and chased each other. It wasn’t that kind of cooperative relationship. So it must be someone else with similar colors.
‘It must be a coincidence… .’
I tried to shake off my doubts.
So the three headed south again.
There was no need to get caught.
Black and Death Knight disappeared somewhere, and the training director and Chalosi investigated the demon that appeared in the explosion, unable to do anything.
and.
“Who the heck is… .”
Like Ronica, Medis, who was hiding somewhere in the forest and watching, expressed doubt.
He hid alone and watched.
There is only one goal.
Black haired man.
I only had my eyes on that man from beginning to end. That’s because he was exactly like the man who declared that he would kill him during the skirmish.
Although he has grown taller, he is clearly the same person.
Habit of moving.
Similar swordsmanship.
A noble spirit.
powerful force.
It can’t be any other guy.
It’s definitely him.
However, much more than you might think.
It was much stronger than I thought, so much so that I couldn’t even dare to attack it.
What exactly is it?
Why are you with Death Knight?
What does this have to do with this incident?
Why did someone with such strong power keep him alive instead of killing him?
What is the reason for abandoning fate?
‘… ‘How much more training do I have to do before I can tackle it?’
Thanks to this, I became more worried.
That person gave him a notice of murder. It is a threat to kill you if you do not abandon your destiny.
Will I be able to stand up to him?
“… … … Damn it.”
at all.
This is so different.
He was a powerhouse of a level that was completely unimaginable.
With a single sword strike, an ice mountain was created and the surrounding area was corrupted.
No matter how strong you are… .
I don’t want to fight.
Because it’s obvious I’ll lose.
Okay.
I just quietly turned around.
There is no way to escape once you are in his judgment.
What if I run away right now?
Then those who wish for fate will throw down their iron fists. In a situation where I couldn’t do anything, I had no choice but to walk a tightrope risking my life.
With such a pale complexion.
Medis also secretly returned.
*
Huh~
chuck.
The Death Knight stopped.
Carefully, he laid me down.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“… … It tastes like death.”
“That’s amazing. I can’t believe you’re still holding on to your mind in that physical condition.”
“Do you think I will fall asleep knowing what you are going to do?”
“I can’t believe I can hold on to a body that could die right away. How strong of a spirit do you have?”
“… Talk to me… … Don’t make me do it. It feels like my lungs are rotting.”
“… … … i get it. Focus on recovery.”
The Death Knight turned around and looked around.
I seemed to realize that I was recovering quickly through mana breathing.
To be honest, I want to faint.
If you think about it for a moment, you’ll lose your mind.
But it can’t be done.
If I sleep like this, I might pass out for several days.
If you’re not careful, you could die.
You need to recover and shake it off as quickly as possible.
… Because my disciple will be waiting.
Hwiyu~
I breathed mana quickly.
The higher the level, the more diverse the circuit, the higher the capacity, the faster the circulation, and the more mana can be recovered quickly.
Here is a big advantage of the dual mana circuit.
Mana recovery speed.
A much larger number of circuits than a normal circuit provides a mana absorption radius, and high capacity and circulation provide a fast recovery speed.
In other words, if I concentrate, I can recover all my mana within a few hours.
The problem is that I become a little defenseless… .
The back stone glanced at the Death Knight.
Probably won’t attack.
When I’m in a crisis, I distrust almost everything.
Originally, I might not have trusted the Death Knight and stared at him until the end. However, he is the one who took the damage and prevented the explosion.
If so, wouldn’t it be okay to believe it?
Tiring~
◎︎ Release handprinting.
◎︎ Release growth control.
The original shape is slightly larger than the body.
I came back to my most comfortable self.
Sigh-
At first glance, it looks like a four-legged animal, but its joints are free so it can stand or sit on two feet.
I sat cross-legged with difficulty and closed my eyes.
I endured the pain as if my muscles and internal organs had melted and forced myself to activate the mana circuit.
…
…
…
Tiring.
◎︎ Some of the mana circuits that have been forcibly increased adapt to the body. Mana increases by 21.
◎︎ Resistance increases by 4 when reaching the limit.
◎︎ Strength increases by 7.
◎︎ Agility increases by 8.
◎︎ Stamina increases by 14.
◎︎ Mental power increases by 17.
How many hours have passed?
I opened my eyes with an improved complexion.
The vitality of the world tree, ultra-fast regeneration.
ᛋᛁᛒᚨᛋᚲᚢ ᛋᚢᛁᛋᚺᛅᛚ, ᛍᚢᚲᚺᛅᛋ᛫ᛁᛃᛁᛃᚨᚾ.
Paaah~
He used recovery magic on his own and recovered from his injuries. Even though I couldn’t do anything about my internal injuries and mental fatigue, it seemed like I had overcome a major crisis.
Close your eyes again and concentrate.
I concentrated on recovery by alternating between healing and mana breathing.
And so on for another few hours.
“Kuu… .”
“Are you feeling better now?”
◎︎ Use hand drawing.
◎︎ Use growth control.
Suddenly.
After returning to my human body again, I stood up.
“Okay.”
“What a wonderful recovery. No, is it mental strength?”
“Well.”
to be honest… There is a long way to go to recovery.
I don’t know what it looks like, but it will take quite some time for the mana circuit damaged by internal injuries and excessive use of technology to return to normal.
No matter how much I do, I will have to devote a few days to recovery.
Sze-
I faced the Death Knight.
The red eyes calmly express relief.
… silence.
Do you have a quiet personality?
I brought up the topic first.
“It was a pretty strong demon.”
“You overwhelmed that devil.”
“It’s heavenly luck. If the first blow had failed, I wouldn’t be here”
“Luck is also a skill. And you have reached transcendent level, albeit briefly. how… What is it?”
“I… It’s an ordinary return water.”
“Are you telling me to believe that? I have never seen a Hwansu who is better at dealing with fraud than the undead.”
“That’s just one of my strengths.”
“I guess so. It also deals with ice attribute powers. It was a force so strong that it was difficult to understand even if it was a ghost.”
“Ah… .”
It’s the power of ice… .
That baffles me too.
At that time, I was in a hurry and used my power without even thinking about it, but it was a power of a distant nature.
At least half-god level or higher.
If you do this, you won’t know who it is.
There is only one person who has a connection with me and who handles ice and is of such high rank.
‘Artrot… ‘Did she intervene?’
But why?
how?
Where were you watching me?
Why did you help me?
I don’t know.
It’s just too sudden.
There has been no voice since. Maybe he received a big backlash in return for lending his power.
I don’t understand the English text.
someday… I need to meet you sometime.
There’s no way a guy who was my enemy would have helped me for no reason.
First, I changed the topic.
“Let’s talk about something else. I don’t want to reveal my power. Will you understand?”
“… i get it. Is it rude to ask for strength?”
“And speaking of which, there was one strange thing when dealing with the demon.”
“What is it?”
“He was seriously injured, as if he had already fought with someone. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have been able to subdue him.”
“… … … I see.”
hmm?
This guy… .
It doesn’t seem that surprising.
“You’re calm. Do you know anything?”
“I know. The demon was branded with the Necropolis.”
“Mark of Death?”
“I know it well.”
“How did you know that? No, why did I get summoned while being attacked at a time like this?”
“Maybe… It is the work of the Necropolis castle lord. Arch Lich Polshark revealed the location of the demon in exchange for his life in exchange for exile. That’s why we knew in advance and responded accordingly.”
“Castle lord of Necropolis?… .”
Why did that existence suddenly appear…? … .
“I will formally introduce you. I am Rauf, the unofficial messenger of Necropolis. The moment the devil was summoned, I could feel the power of the mark.”
“Unofficial messenger of Necropolis?”
“Yes.”
“That’s a bit surprising… But why did Seongju intervene? I’m not the type of guy who would necessarily move for the lion.”
“It’s as if he knows it well. I can’t go into detail, but the lord of Necropolis moved for ‘me’, not for the lion. That’s it.”
“… It’s hard to put into context. Are you asking me to believe that?”
“I also can’t believe that you are an ordinary Hwansu. Isn’t it common for each other?”
“Then I have nothing to say.”
I don’t know.
Are you lying?
Are you telling the truth?
So I tried to reason objectively.
Death Knight Rauf.
To be honest, my skills are a bit lacking to become a lion of Necropolis.
It’s strong, but… .
If you hit it well, you can reach the 60th floor?
It is not enough to become the lion of Necropolis.
Maybe that’s why it’s called an unofficial messenger… But what an unofficial messenger.
That’s something I don’t know either.
I had been the messenger of Necropolis in a previous life. I was able to quickly become stronger because of that crazy castle lord, but I almost lost my life several times.
I signed a contract on the condition that I learn magic, but before I knew it, I had become a lion and was assassinating people.
I thought I was going to die.
A guy like that moves for someone?
You can never dream.
Because he’s a monster that can’t feel emotions.
Let’s sum it up first.
Death Knight Rauf is the unofficial messenger of Necropolis, and the lord of the castle noticed his crisis and eliminated the demon in advance.
It’s absurd. Regardless of where they monitored it, they responded as soon as they saw it.
wherefore?
Do the two have a special relationship?
That can’t be possible… .
“… You don’t look like you’re lying.”
“Can you read my facial expression?… To others, it will just look like a skeleton.”
“There is a way.”
Because I was a lich in my previous life.
So it’s even more confusing.
This guy’s face is so serious.
It’s definitely not a lying expression.
This is the feeling of someone making a serious confession.
“What is your relationship with Seongju?”
“… … I cannot tell you any information that could pose a threat to Necropolis.”
“I see.”
It means there is a special relationship.
This is enough.
This is something I won’t tell you anyway.
There’s nothing better than digging deeper.
“Let’s move on.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Instead of “… I want to talk about something else.”
“I will answer.”
We have a lot to talk about.
chamberlain… A story about Ronica or something.
I wanted to ask this all along.
Are you Ronica’s parents?
Why did you leave me alone?
Now is the time to hear the truth.
“… Are you Ronika’s biological father?”
“I… .”
The guy who pauses for a long time.
Eventually, Rauf gave an answer that could have been obvious.
“I am Ronika’s biological father.”
