Episode 389
Episode 126. Negotiation Yuma’s thought that the blue dagger and the Zeilgyo were related was just a guess. Of course, Igor was kidnapped, but there was not enough evidence to judge that it was an act for the safety of the blue dagger.
But now Lot and Marka opened the dimensional door and appeared together.
“Lot!”
Yuma shouted Lot’s name with an angry expression. At the same time, a strong aura was released and the entire grass field was overturned.
I just screamed, and the scenery unfolded like a typhoon. His colleagues hurriedly covered their ears, and the wizards of Alpenter nearby shivered while bleeding from their ears.
Lot and Marka were not greatly affected by the distance. They just stared at Yuma with expressionless faces.
At the moment, he got angry and shouted, but Yuma soon regained his usual calm atmosphere. The sorcerers, whose eardrums had burst, ran toward Lot with pale faces.
‘That snake-like bastard always only aroused me when there was a credible background.’
It was only when we first met in Yoheim that we didn’t know anything about each other, so we went overboard. Looking back on Lot’s actions after that, there were many corners that bothered him.
He showed no clue as to whether he was an ally or an enemy.
Also, Lot has often played the same role as the messenger of the archmage Rizol since Yuma recognized that he was outside the realm.
Resurrection of the blue dagger Death of Asuka Kidnapped Igor.
Perhaps all of that was the intention of Archmage Risol.
‘It could be that the damn asshole wiped Rochshire off the map had something to do with Resol… What
if they were a series of events rather than an isolated issue?
It must have originated from the cause of ‘preventing the second coming of Hwa’. In Yuma’s opinion, Risol was a person who only acted for a cause.
It’s not something to jump to conclusions about, but I couldn’t say with certainty that it wasn’t.
Because of this, Yuma decided to listen to Lot’s story first and suppressed his anger. It wasn’t too late to beat them to death.
“Well, I didn’t think that Yuma-sama would return quietly after seeing that note. I wanted to see you at the temple, but I didn’t want this kind of atmosphere.”
Lot did not shrink at all even in front of Yuma, as if he had a corner to believe.
“Did you think I would go if I kidnapped a colleague and left quietly? Besides, you guys… you guys were with the blue dagger.”
Unlike Yuma, Marlon and Zecca Milina looked very nervous.
It is because he realizes that the aura from Marka is much more threatening than that of the warrior Cherkin, who was praised as ‘Haseo Jeil’.
Yuma didn’t know that either. The Marka he saw in front of him now possessed much greater power than the Marka who attacked Natalie on the day of her coronation.
‘Are they clones like the soldiers who just fell? No, it was definitely an illusion back then… It’s different from these soldiers.’
Marka, who appeared at the coronation assassination, collapsed powerlessly under Yuma’s blow and disappeared as gray smoke. Just like the soldiers whose souls had escaped, they did not leave corpses behind.
Above all, unlike cloned humans, Marka had a different level of inaction than the illusion she encountered at the coronation ceremony.
Moreover, that power did not come from ‘Auror’ alone. The rest of the teammates didn’t notice, but Yuma and Rakir didn’t miss the strange energy radiating from Marka.
[Master. There’s something… strange about that girl. It’s like a demon, but it’s neither from the underworld nor from the underworld.]
Rakir flew next to Yuma and whispered.
[I think it’s a special power given by Guardian Resol.
It’s kind of unpleasant.]
Yuma lightly nodded as if he thought so too.
“I apologize for kidnapping Brother Igor. I will let you know in advance that Brother Igor is all right and safe.”
“It’s not a matter of simply apologizing. Did Rizol tell you to kidnap Igor? Probably because you guys are nothing more than puppets of those nasty humans.”
[bouncer. You dare to speak ill of him.]
Marca who said that even had a voice that resembled that of a demon. But it was darker and more gloomy than that.
“Don’t interfere with the story, Marca. When the time is right, I’ll kill you. The crime of trying to harm my lover and His Majesty and spreading male and female to the emperor will not be enough even if I kill him a thousand times.”
[Rot] You’re not going to let that blasphemous bastard live, are you? That bastard invades the holy ground, says the name of Alpenter indiscriminately, and even insults him.]
“Marka, everything moves according to his will anyway. Withdraw your anger.”
“You guys are fucking. If Igor is safe, bring him to me right away.”
When Yuma spoke calmly, Lot smiled and stretched out his hand into the air.
“It’s not difficult…
and with a light wave of the hand, it opens up a new dimension. Igor was trapped in the dimension, but when Lot put his hand in, Igor fell to the floor like a bounce.
While walking, he was attacked by a spear of light and hit in the back of the head.
“uh? Where is this?”
As Lot said, Igor was fine. But the odd thing was that Igor didn’t even know that he had been kidnapped.
“oh! Reverend Lot. It’s been a while.
This is a temple! I think I arrived well, but I don’t remember.
Oh Yuma! Aang!”
During the abduction, Igor’s time stood still. The dimension he was in was a space where Rizol stopped time.
Yuma inferred this from Igor’s behavior and his posture when he fell from the portal. The fact that Resol can handle time has already been experienced several times.
“Yuma-sama! Are you all right?
How are you here?”
“Brother Igor, I think you’d better keep quiet for now. markka.”
At Lot’s signal, Marka raised blue smoke with her palm and covered Igor’s face. Then Igor fainted again and collapsed.
“These motherfuckers! What have you done to Uncle?”
“Yuma! I don’t think I need to talk to those bastards any more!”
Marlon and Zecca got excited, but Yuma raised a hand to stop them. He realized why they kidnapped Igor.
“Looks like you needed a hostage.” Lot “Yes.”
“Okay, what do you want?”
“Stop getting involved in the blue dagger business.”
“Is that all?”
“And be the Emperor of the Empire.”
“The reason is?”
“The most influential person in the East and West right now is Yuma. Therefore, if you become emperor, you can control the number of wars in the human world. Moreover, Yuma-sama has proven many times that she does not corrupt from lusting after power or power.”
Adjust the number of wars. It was the same as the meaning of being able to keep Hwa in check while increasing Geil’s power.
In general, war was to be defined as unconditional ‘evil’. It has no net function at all and is full of countless harms.
However, this was not the case at the time of Jailgyo. From their point of view, wars were largely of two types.
A war in which the number of deaths is small, but which causes great pain for humans to awaken, and a war in which there are many unnecessary deaths, which benefit Hwa.
In other words, Lot wanted Yuma to become a ruler who frequently provoked the former and blocked the latter.
That would be a very efficient way to strengthen the light and weaken the void.
Soluto’s acting as Rugal in the East was not much different from that.
“I took Igor hostage in order to demand it from me… This is the story.”
“That’s right.”
“Do you think I showed off too much because I cared for my colleagues? But besides Igor, there must be many other colleagues you guys can use as a bargaining chip.”
“Others are dangerous enough that Yuma-sama could run out of control.”
“Let’s not lie. You guys must have had reasons or circumstances that prevented me from kidnapping my other colleagues. Of all the parties that happened to visit a snoring-free country, Igor would have been the easiest.”
“I will not deny it.”
Yuma asked for the pipe as if pondering for a moment.
“The Apostle of Zeil has high expectations for Yuma-sama. Why don’t you stop following his will? As you may know from looking at Halun, the lower world is better than the underworld…
“Were you the ones who summoned Halun?”
Lot nodded meekly, as if it was no secret.
“It was, in many ways, an effective means of stopping the Void. A massacre that can unleash massive pain with a blue dagger that can assassinate anyone. If Yuma-sama ascends to the throne, controlling the world will become very simple.”
It was a kind of threat that Lot said so openly. It means that it would be better to crawl on your own since you are holding a paddle this big.
‘Seeing that I’m so confident, it must mean that I have thought of the possibility of not complying with the request… or that there is someone else who can replace me. There’s a high probability that it’s Rugal or Princess Lhasa.’
but it’s too urgent As if he had been waiting for the moment when he could kidnap one of Yuma’s companions.
Moreover, even the way he approached them was sloppy and radical.
‘That would also mean they don’t have much time. If it had been done properly and if there was room, it would have been Rizol, not Lot.’
Archmage Rizol. I had vaguely guessed from experiencing him several times, but it seemed that he had very clear limits on how he could intervene in the world.
Yuma sighed as he put the pipe into his inner pocket as if he had finished his thoughts.
“i get it.”
“Are you saying you will comply with the request?”
“I know how much you are. And there’s one thing you guys miscalculated…
The affection I have for Igor is enough to make my head spin. In fact, we are giving them a chance under the pretext of negotiations. Think again.”
Paget!
Yuma, who caused lightning with her unique aura, quickly snatched Igor and returned to her place.
But Yuma knew. Unlike Theron, Marka could have reacted and blocked it, but she didn’t do it on purpose.
“Yuma-sama, I know that you have recently awakened a new power. But even with that ability, you won’t be able to escape this space. Unless you just change your choice.”
right!
Lot shook his head and clapped his hands. It was an act of activating the magic that Risol had cast in this dimension.
“I wouldn’t have forgotten about that. Time doesn’t mean much to him…
“Uh uh uh! crazy!”
“What is that!”
Marlon and Zecca suddenly screamed in surprise.
Theron Silvers, who was down there, got up. Surprisingly, both of his arms, which had been cut off, were perfectly attached.
The floor where the two arms had fallen was not a single drop of blood, only grass. As if Theron’s arm had never been cut off and never landed there.
“I wonder if I didn’t give up my power as a demon… Now is the time for Yuma-sama to know that foolish choices always come at a cost.”
