Episode 417 Darkness that is not enough to chew on (2)
Ray actually visited the temple after another day.
After recovering from the fatigue and washing in the stream, the divine water became clear overnight.
Her hair, which had been frizzy, became shiny again, and her skin became as smooth as before.
Ray, who had changed from a pitiful beggar to a nobleman, clicked his tongue as he saw the man drooping at the altar.
“Tsk tsk. I am thinking of dying.”
The man’s complexion was not so blue that it was dingy and dead.
He opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Kill… kill…”
It was not easy to even open his mouth, his pronunciation was quite slurred.
Saliva leaks out of his mouth and his body trembles.
It must have been that he was unable to properly control his body due to the shock.
Soon-bok, who had approached Ray before he knew it, shook his head when he saw the man.
– I can’t use this. look at the eyes Even if you let them live, they will try to kill themselves.
Tears welled up in the man’s eyes, which had been full of venom last night.
He had never wished for death so earnestly in his life.
Even while being raised and trained as an Assassin, I hoped that I would persevere.
Among them, there was training to get used to torture, but the pain from the altar was incomparable to that.
Even if he wanted to die, he could not die, and even if he tried to fall from the altar, he could not.
When the pressure from mana went around all over the body.
The man thought he wanted to die for the first time.
Inside the cold temple, the mana rods of the whole body were torn to shreds by the mana flowing from the altar.
The pain was indescribable.
Ray looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.
“Now I’ve become an eye that seems to be able to have a conversation.”
After going through a day of intense pain, I thought we would be able to have a conversation.
The man glared at Ray as if to kill him.
Hana Ray didn’t budge.
The sunlight was shining on him, creating a backlight.
“There is no second time. Where are you from, you bastard?”
The man shuddered at Ray’s words.
He really seemed willing to keep himself tied up here for a year or 10 years.
Seeing that he said no twice, it was unmistakable.
The man quickly opened his mouth without hesitating for a moment.
“Yeah… Union… Union…”
Hearing the man’s words, the corners of Ray’s mouth went up coldly.
“You end up doing things.”
Hafman told me roughly how things were going.
The opening of the gate in Baybon Kingdom and the fact that Celia came to a situation on the brink of war.
Perhaps the dark forces began to move after hearing rumors that the saint was not the same as before.
In addition, since the monsters joined in, they must have been excited and pushed the kingdoms.
Just like that, several kingdoms perished at their hands, and Celia and Baybon were also facing the same situation.
But there was something they overlooked.
The information the dark forces possessed was no more than old information.
Although he may not have known about the past, he has fully regained the strength of his heyday.
Is that all?
Now that he has gained knowledge about the magic circle, it is incomparable to before.
It’s a dark force, it’s Nabal, and it can be melted down with magic missile, which is a circle 1 magic.
Ray pulled the man.
The strong mana of the altar resisted for a moment, but soon the man’s arm fell from the altar.
When the pain, which seemed to last, disappeared, the man shed tears.
“Hehehehehehe…”
Soonbok spat on the floor as he saw the man lying down and crying like a woman.
– Kill?
Who said that spirits are the closest thing to mana?
Indeed it is.
It seemed that he wanted to quickly return the living person to Mana’s bosom.
Ray shook his head.
“There is still use left.”
He grabbed the man’s arm and poured mana into it.
The man’s mana rod was completely destroyed, so mana flowed through his bloodstream.
At that moment, an excruciating pain overtook the man.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Pain comparable to the time of the altar.
My eyes went white and my consciousness gradually faded as if I was falling asleep.
When I finally thought that I was going to kill myself.
The pain disappeared as if it never happened.
“Ugh…”
– What did you do?
Ray answered Soonbok’s question.
“Forcibly caused a hematologic disease by shedding mana with blood.”
– Hmmm…
“You will feel the same pain as before whenever the affected blood circulates through your body several times. Seeing that he didn’t die the moment he was released from the altar, he must still want to live. Go and tell the coalition that you destroyed the altar again. When I’m done, I’ll release you completely.”
“If… just that… will you really let go?”
“Because it really frees me. Have you been deceived?”
The man pondered for a moment at the sullen answer.
The pain is excruciating, but only for a moment.
It would take less than a day for him to convey information to the coalition.
Since there is a mana communication sphere, the alliance will receive information in less than half a day.
The man nodded cautiously.
“…i get it.”
“Leave the information and come back here. If you don’t come back within two days, I’ll find you again and throw you at the altar.”
At his menacing words, the man quickly left the temple.
It was just contacting the crystal ball, but I didn’t want to do it in front of him.
He might change his mind and put himself on the altar again.
When the man left, Ray packed up his luggage.
Soonbok, who had been watching the scene, tilted his head as if wondering.
– Won’t you wait?
“I have to leave now. Halfman is helping, but if it’s a little too late, Baybon will be completely finished.”
– What about him? Didn’t you say you’d release them in two days?
At Sunbok’s words, Ray smiled.
“It only made me feel pain for a moment. I’m scared enough, so I’ll deliver it well.”
Soonbok was bruised for a moment.
Could it be that it was all lies?
I thought that the owner who was not cheap and had no mercy was a great person who would definitely keep what he said.
Thinking of preparing a short plan at that moment to lead to an advantageous situation?
The owner looked again.
Ray took a leather backpack and took a look at the altar.
If you think about it, this place is also quite affectionate.
“It’s a bit bittersweet to be leaving.”
As he murmured toward the altar, a resounding resonant sound of mana resounded.
Woong-woong-
Ray, who was still looking at the altar, moved his steps.
The altar that was left behind was shining blue, illuminating his back.
It was the moment he left the temple after a long time.

As I walked along the forest road, I began to see the border of the elven village.
Subok was a little amazed.
– It’s quite large for an elven village.
Since it is a village connected to the road to the altar, it has no choice but to be huge.
Of course, the virtue of having been raised well by Serien, but receiving help from other high elves also played a part.
When Ray came out of the barrier and entered the village, the high elves who felt his energy appeared one by one from the tree house.
The Dark Elves in the village hurriedly bowed their heads and paid their respects.
This is where most of the high elves gathered.
The greetings of the Dark Elves seemed extremely cautious.
Aira, who had been waiting at the entrance between the village and the altar, spoke up.
“Good work. If you look good, it must be that things went well.”
“Thanks for your efforts.”
Selis, whose spots were now mostly gone, popped out as if she had been waiting.
Every time her skin improved, she became quite fond of Ray.
There was no other person who had taken care of herself, who had only received glares, so far.
No matter how much he is an elf and he is a human, the memory of the time he protected himself from the dark elves is still not forgotten.
Celis’s eyes grew a little hazy.
Not to be outdone by him, Serien also intervened between the three.
“You must be tired. Wouldn’t it be nice to rest a little?”
Ray waved his hand without putting down his bag.
“I have already had enough rest. Now that I know the black magic that destroyed the altar, I have to go and punish it.”
“oh. Be diligent. I like diligent people.”
She winked one eye.
Then, feeling impatience, Aira said in displeasure.
“You must have bad eyesight, Serien. I can fix it for you if you need any help.”
“I will politely decline.”
As the high elves scuffled, Selis did not dare to intervene any longer.
Instead of interrupting the conversation, she carefully left a word for him.
“Even if you leave, I will wait here. It’s okay if you come to ‘the house where we both lived’ anytime.”
A truly significant word.
Hana Rei did not have good memories here.
He was neglected in the Dark Elf Village and suffered only at the altar.
The thought of coming back never crossed my mind.
He coldly slammed Selis.
“There’s nothing to come even if I wait.”
“doesn’t care. I’ll come find you then.”
When that happened, only Ira was restless.
As strange things keep coming together, I feel like I’m being pushed away.
Heprion entered the war.
“Please don’t forget that I am too, Mr. Ray! I will invite you to my village next time!”
It is a refusal.
It was a village of romantic idiot elves, so I could see the condition of the village without looking at it.
Ray, who ignored Heprion’s words, told everyone.
“I will go to Baybon Kingdom from now on. Now that the altar’s affairs have been safely settled, it’s okay to go back to each village. Instead, you must visit the altar once a year. We got through it safely this time, but there’s no way we’ll do that again.”
At that, the high elves nodded.
They were fully aware of the risks.
I was going to pay attention even if he didn’t talk.
“i get it.”
“Do that.”
Elisa said.
“I’m going to live in Serien’s village for a few years, so I’ll take care of the altar myself.”
It’s perfectly fine.
If the two High Elves were guarding it, even the dark forces would not be able to act recklessly.
Rey approached Aira.
“Ira. I have to go to Baybon Kingdom right now. Can you help me?”
“….”
Unlike usual, Aira’s expression was sour.
Normally, when I asked for a favor like this, I would listen right away, but now the look in my eyes was a little different from usual.
she said softly.
“…with your bare mouth?”
“huh?”
“To hear a request bare-mouthed. Ray, you’ve become a little impudent, too.”
“Then…”
“You impudent need to be punished.”
Before Ray could say anything, Aira lifted her tiptoe and pressed her lips together.
Serien smiled strangely.
“Be bold, too.”
Celis clenched her fists undetected, and Heprion was ‘romantic.’ he muttered.
Soonbok, who was caught up in a strange air current beside him, shed bloody tears.
– Brother, I’m really angry. Why are there so many women? He is really a dog.
