[ Episode 357. King of Evil]
Inside Cromwell Castle, Lucia and Diene, who had visited at an untimely time, were looking out the window anxiously.
“Can I really survive?”
Of course, due to the existence of the punitive force that appeared as soon as they arrived, the two were in a situation where they couldn’t do anything.
Diene listened to Lucia and bit her nails.
‘I can’t hear either side.’
In my heart, I wanted to help Cromwell, but I had no choice but to refrain from doing so because the family could be entangled.
jump!
“are you okay! Friends are strong!”
Suddenly, a silver-haired girl appeared in the drawing room with her hands on her hips, looking as if she had found her prey.
“Sister Luna.”
“Luna Pendragon…!”
Upon meeting the Warlock she had heard about through Lucia but never thought she would meet, Diene was unknowingly wary of her.
“Oh, I should call you sister. I’m a year older than you!”
“Do you know my age…?”
“A friend told me! Come on, call me sister!”
Watching her strangely obsessed with titles, Diene muttered in a daze.
“What sister?”
“Oh, well done! After all, just like my friend said, he’s a good kid!”
“Who the hell is that friend?”
“huh? Adrias Cromwell is my friend!”
Luna puffed out her chest and spoke proudly.
Diene looked at Luna like that and made an absurd expression, then hurriedly managed it.
‘Did Adrias tell me?’
It was a completely unexpected story.
And it was a story that made me want to hear more about what he had to say.
Then another person appeared after Luna.
She was a woman who subtly radiated noble elegance.
“You are all friends of the lord. You don’t have to worry too much about the outside situation.”
“Who are you?”
“My name is Isabelle. I owe it to Cromwell.”
Lucia and Diene tilted their heads at the unfamiliar name. There was a person who came to mind due to Maximin Cronell’s famous anecdote, but I never thought it was her.
“I heard that the punitive force came. That means superhumans…….”
“Even if they are superhumans, they are only humans.”
Isabelle laughed and said.
Diene felt a strange sense of heterogeneity underlying Isabelle’s reaction.
“Only humans…”
“I’m sorry. I made a mistake. However, I am sincere when I say don’t worry, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Looking at the opponent with a noble smile, Diene reflexively circulated mana. It felt like my emotions were fluctuating as if I had cast a mental magic.
“As for Isabelle…of Maximin Cronel…?”
Lucia, who had been quietly listening to the story, tilted her head and asked. Diene, who had been listening, carefully observed Isabelle’s reaction.
“that’s right. Do you know me?”
“……Really?”
In the end, Diene could not stand it and expressed her surprise.
As a citizen of the Empire, Maximin Cronell was a famous figure whose name was not known to everyone, so Isabel’s reputation was known to some extent.
“vampire?”
“that’s right. So I guess my expression was a bit awkward.”
Diene and Lucia flinched as they saw Isabel smiling as if it was nothing special. Having studied and studied as magicians, they knew how deadly and dangerous a vampire could be.
In addition, Isabel was a direct vampire with only rumors, so curiosity and fear were mixed.
“uh?”
Then, suddenly, a strange figure caught Lucia’s eyes. The figure who sneakily appeared had pale red skin and one hand consisted of a sword instead of an arm.
‘What is that person?!’
Lucia’s eyes, which had always been sleepy, opened wide. Looking like a victim of a black magic experiment, he seemed to be looking for someone and then ambled up to Luna.
“That person…?”
Diene, who was focused on Isabelle, also looked at him with a voice full of questions.
“Jerome! Why didn’t you wait!”
[“I can feel something.”]
Diene made a surprised expression at the voice that penetrated her consciousness. It was a strange type of voice that I had heard once in the tower.
[“I feel death.”]
“Death?”
It was an incomprehensible word, but it was not an ordinary word, so Luna’s expression became serious.
Isabelle asked, erasing her smile for the first time.
“Tell me more, sweetheart. What exactly do you feel?”
[“I feel my companions. The blue knight who brings death…….”]
“A colleague? Blue Knight?”
creepy!
Everyone felt it the moment they questioned it.
The meaning of death that Jerome said.
Ssssss-
Luna ran to the window at the eerie presence that began to fill the surroundings. The location of the drawing room inside the castle was high, so she was able to spot something of an eccentric shape from afar.
“Is that death?”
Something bluish was blooming in the fountain vacant lot located in the residential area where citizens live inside the inner wall.
[“It’s calling me.”]
Jerome looked at the blue bud, feeling an unknown emotion.
[“I have to go.”]
“Jerome can’t.”
Luna said with a resolute appearance that she had never seen before.
[“You came to me. have to stop Otherwise, everyone will die.”]
“I will go over there. You will be here.”
Isabelle stood up and said.
“I promised my benefactor to protect this place, so I’ll have to pay for the meal.”
[“I’ll go too.”]
“I’ll be back soon, so stay here, baby.”
Isabelle finished with those words and in an instant melted into the shadows and disappeared. Seeing Isabelle like that, Jerome sighed.
[“It doesn’t make any sense.”]
“What are you talking about, Jerome?”
[“Death came to me. I’ll be back here soon.”]
Jerome muttered, feeling a headache.
The memory that had been erased from his brain was about to slip out.
[“The Blue Knight.”]
No, Jerome could not stay still as he felt the existence of something else before the Blue Knight. The other person seemed to know his identity and past.
widely!
“Jerome!”
Luna chased Jerome, who ran away.
While chasing her, she stopped hurriedly, realizing that she was her sister, and shouted at Diene and Lucia.
“You two are here! It’s dangerous outside!”
Unsure of what the hell was going on, the two just stared blankly at it.
“What is going on? What is that? Subjugation team?”
Lucia muttered, then turned to Diene.
“Are we going too?”
“But…”
“I don’t know what those blue flowers are, but I’ve heard that innocent people can die. Do you think I learned magic for times like this?”
Diene was strangely persuaded by Lucia’s words.
“Promise me not to get ahead. If it is dangerous, avoid it.”
“Your sister.”
As soon as the two of them left the drawing room, only silence lingered in the noisy room.
**
Bang bang bang!
The surroundings exploded as if they had been bombed. And in the place where they exploded, red greatswords were embedded in the ground one by one.
‘Mark area.’
Sinclair’s aura secret technique called ‘region marking’, called Muangong, was developed.
Fiery!
In addition, various aura secrets poured out.
Layton of the Flurry Black Panther Kalaman Acrobat Beck.
Including Sinclair, there were a total of 4 Auror Masters.
“Good! I will take this opportunity to subdue all the empire’s traitors!”
Acrobat Beck, an aura master affiliated with the Sun Knights, created a thin thread of aura and swung it around.
“Hehe, that’s crude.”
Hearing the cry, Salem mocked the opponent and brandished an evil snake. Then, it collided with the thread made of aura, and fragments of mana exploded in all directions.
“You kid, take care of that guy.”
Maximin pointed at Layton and went out to deal with Sinclair.
Anyway, I didn’t know that I would have a reunion like this with my old friend Layton.
“Louis Vivian. Please take care of the other one.”
Lewis’ hard expression seemed to represent what he was thinking, but he had to fight unconditionally because he had purposely brought him out to experience the battle with the Auror Master in the first place.
‘Since I’ve obtained Hwa’an Jinjeong, there’s no need to worry.’
The Auror Master to deal with was Kalaman, nicknamed the Black Panther. It was a battle that Lewis could not lose in terms of compatibility.
Hooded!
“I never thought I would see you again like this.”
Standing in front of me, Layton wrapped himself in wind and made a menacing noise.
But the wind couldn’t get over my wings.
“I won’t talk too long. Come first.”
“Then don’t hesitate……”
Quaang!
Before Layton could even move, Sinclair and Maximin collided.
Evan, who remained behind, also stayed quiet, then jumped over the battlefield and went to face the Warlocks.
Whoa!
The wind blew like a blade and raged like it would tear my entire body apart. But now I have 10% of the power of each of the 3 sins.
[Corrupted ???’s wings]
-??
– Always maintain the power of sin you possess when you spread your wings. The strength maintained is 10% of that when using special techniques.
– Basic stats are improved.
– Exhibits outstanding power when dealing with things related to the transcendent.
-Growth is not over.
-After using the wings, a recoil occurs in proportion to the time used.
Compared to the past, the phrases that were much longer were noticeable wings. It was a strange guy that was marked with a question mark like ‘original sin’, which was also classified as a characteristic.
Kwajajajak!
Layton, who had approached using the power of the wind, wrapped the wind around his sword. The power of a strong wind that destroys everything rushed at me.
‘Emperor sword type.’
Kwaaaaang—-!
However, even the power of the wind had to kneel before the overwhelming power.
Layton, who had been blown away in a single blow, raised his head in disbelief and looked at me.
“Crazy…”
It was definitely crazy.
The Namgung family’s royal sword type, which gets stronger in proportion to their basic abilities, showed overwhelming invincibility thanks to their wings, even though they did not know how to fight internally.
Tadak!
Stepping on the steps, he quickly approached Layton.
The flow of mana created by genius-level swordsmanship and gifted-level mana talent made me move like a Moorim man, even if I didn’t know how to do it.
Even if I hadn’t learned the Simbeop, it was like I made it myself.
Whoo!
Layton, who used the force of the wind to pull his body back, was not able to keep up with my movements in terms of agility.
“It’s cowardly, but I can’t help it.”
Layton, who was put on the defensive, muttered something and then flew up into the air. It was an act worthy of a wind aura.
“Suck!”
Layton, who flew up into the sky to a height I couldn’t reach, immediately blew a sword wind. If it was someone else, it was a fraudulent ability that could only be defeated unilaterally.
“Did you forget? This is the Warlock.”
I smiled and used magic.
If it was an aerial battle, I wasn’t confident about losing.
In an instant, the shadows that wrapped around Layton spewed black poison mist. Now, without any intention of hiding, I tried to double cast while using black magic.
Perong!
A huge bomb of light exploded, stimulating the opponent’s five senses. Layton, whose legs were caught in the shadows in the air, was mercilessly dragged to the floor.
Shukang!
I swung my sword at Layton, who had been dragged down, but he blocked my attack as an Aura Master. But the victory was already leaning towards me.
“I couldn’t have imagined that you were a black magician.”
“I would have won if I hadn’t been a warlock.”
You don’t think I lost because I used black magic, right?
The reason I dared to use black magic was because I had nothing to shy away from. Anyway, it would be better to use the Empire and Chuck openly and warn them than to hide them and not be able to use them properly.
“Looks like you became a warlock through some sneaky trick of dark magic. disappointed.”
“I don’t care what you think.”
Layton was sad, but he had no intention of saving him.
Not only that, but the subjugation party that came this time had no intention of saving everyone.
I’m sorry Sinclair, who looked down on me and helped me often, but he wasn’t my person.
“The warlock covens won’t approve of you. Would you be happy that you, who were an aristocrat of the empire, learned black magic? Rather, they will try to get rid of you.”
I tried to shake my emotions, as if Layton, who was dealing with my magic and sword at the same time, was clearly being pushed back.
But unfortunately, his fighting spirit didn’t work.
“I don’t know why the talk of the rally suddenly comes out, but the rally is also mine.”
“……what?”
“I am the host of the meeting that Lord Layton just spoke about.”
Awesome!
In the end, Layton’s arm was cut off because he couldn’t block all the magic and the sword.
“Keugh!”
“If the Knights of the Sun don’t know, then the emperor probably doesn’t either. Not too long ago, I absorbed all of the meetings.”
“I know you were imprisoned in Portrion, but what a ridiculous lie…!”
“Am I the only one working? Are you leaving talented people like that?”
When I turned my gaze and chined, Layton followed my head and moved his sights.
There, Evan, who had killed both Warlocks before he knew it, was standing surrounded by swords of light, Salem Yedidia was playing with his opponent, and Maximin was dealing with Sinclair without using an aura.
“What the hell are you…”
Layton slurred, as if at a loss for words.
Then, humbly accepting my approaching sword, I left the last word.
“The King of the Wicked…!” Watching
Layton
‘s body collapse, I brushed off Galaksur.
“It’s not like there are only bad people.”
what do you understand
Many of the people around me are kind to me, but I don’t know how they are to others.
“uh?”
At that time, a strange sensation that I hadn’t felt while fighting Layton seized me. It was a similar feeling to when facing a transcendental person.
‘A transcendental being…why?’
The direction in which the senses were felt was Cromwell.
I heard Maximin fighting Sinclair and talking while even I was panicking at the energy detected in a place where I shouldn’t have felt it.
“Looks like something happened. The play is over.”
It was a story that if Maximin felt it, it was certain.
I shouted at Evan as I glanced at the situation of the others.
“Evan! Help others and finish quickly. It seems that something happened to the manor.”
“I will follow your name.”
“I will go first.”
I raised my mana to the limit and ran towards the place where I felt the energy. These two wings were only wings on the outside, and I had an ominous thought, complaining about why I couldn’t fly.
‘Could it be Jerome?’
The energy I felt was completely different from that.
It’s sticky and it feels like it’s undead…
“The Blue Knight?”
It was a sudden thought, but it seemed to fit. The only strange thing was why they were summoned from our territory.
I don’t know.
For now, I had no choice but to go as quickly as possible.
