Chapter 214. I have to go back soon2022.02.19.
It was dark inside the drawer, where the light was blocked in an instant, but it was possible to distinguish it to some extent with the mouse’s eyes. But that wasn’t the point.
‘Who the hell are you?’
The identity of the person who imprisoned me. I tried to release the assimilation power over and over again, but it was still useless. After one second passed like a thousand times, someone’s voice came from outside.
“A rat is hiding.”
‘…!’
A horrifyingly low voice. It was impossible not to know the owner of this voice.
‘Veron. … how?’
Obviously, Aidan had to hold Veron at the main gate of the Devlin Imperial Castle, so he couldn’t do that.
‘Could it be an alter ego made of magic?’
However, Casey had repeatedly confirmed that creating an alter ego would leave the original body defenseless.
‘Or maybe Aidan was hurt by Veron-.’
My thoughts couldn’t go any further. drooling. Because the drawer door opened without warning, and the body of the Velcro was caught at once.
[Take!!]
“You really are a rat.”
Surprised by the sudden situation, he struggled as hard as he could, but the more he did, the stronger the grip on his torso became. That feeling was transmitted intact to me who was assimilated.
“Is it the ability to communicate with animals? That would be really convenient.”
[Squeak jjik jjik jjik jjik
jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik jjik. Despite the pressure that squeezed my torso, I controlled the Velcro to raise my head. Before long, what filled his field of vision was indeed Veron’s face.
“You look surprised. How is this body here?”
Veron smiled languorously and turned around and sat down on the chair.
“I’ve absorbed the essence of the tree of creation that you gathered through your service for me, and I’ve become much stronger than before. At least one clone can move at the same time. As you can see, I got back the arm that your father cut off.”
Indeed, Veron’s arms were completely attached. I never thought that Veron’s ability was so much stronger than Casey’s expectations that he could move both his alter ego and his body at the same time. It was like being caught off guard.
‘…’
“The ability to assimilate into an animal is really interesting. Did you come to find out about Aidan?”
I couldn’t even answer the question. It wasn’t because I couldn’t speak, just sharing my senses with the squeak. Veron smiled as if he was happy, and pressed the squeaker’s head with the fingers of the opposite hand.
“I don’t know where you got the information you wanted. If I knew it would be like this, it might have been better to give it a little more time to hide like a rat.”
[Take…]
“Because it won’t be useful to find out anything.”
Kuek-kuk Veron laughed lowly and pressed the squeak here and there as if mocking me. The squeaker, terrified, trembled pitifully, unable to resist.
“It is frustrating not being able to talk. Shall I let you know what I’m curious about? You want to know why you can’t escape.”
‘….’
“This is my temple, and you are a heretic who recklessly set foot in a sacred place.”
‘…?’
“So the power of four years is useless in this area.”
I was at a loss for words at the self-conscious words.
‘Crazy man. What the hell are you talking about?’
shrines and heretics. He acted as if he had become a god. Suddenly, I remembered what the last creation tree had told me.
[His purpose is to become the true god of this world.]
[To absorb the power of the world and reign over it. That is his purpose.]
[The balance of power has already been twisted. We must protect the world from him. I am the last bastion of this land that has not been converted into essence.] For
some reason, anxiety overtook me when I saw him drunk to the fullest.
‘Is this proof of my confidence that I have achieved my goal to some extent?’
Will I be able to stop Veron, who has already become so powerful that even my plans can be disrupted? I am now held in the hands of Veron. Veron’s smile deepened as if he had read my weakened mind.
“It doesn’t matter if I kill her like this, but what is it…”
Tension flowed. I controlled the Velcro to make sure it didn’t move carelessly.
‘I can’t die like this.’
No matter how strong Veron was, giving up didn’t fit my personality. If they collide and break, they collide again even when they are in a mess. The fragmented fragments can be glued together.
‘So I can avoid this kind of crisis.’
I held my breath and waited for an opportunity.
‘are you okay. If I take a little more time…’
No matter how much I enter Veron’s realm and can’t control my power, I won’t be able to stop my holy power from being consumed on its own. I had to hold on. Until all the holy power wears out and the assimilation power is released. a little bit. little bit more.
‘done!’
I felt that I was getting farther and farther away from the velcro. Veron also noticed the change, and his expression changed unexpectedly.
“dare…!”
The anger on Baron’s face was young.
‘Come on quickly!’
Right before the assimilation power was released, Veron’s magical energy wrapped around Velcro’s whole body.
[Jjiik!!!]
‘Ugh!’
My eyes went dark with great pain. Pod! It was dark.
***
Oscar and Yang Yang were running through the alleys of Devlin Capital.
“There it is! Catch it!”
“Go to the other side!”
Devlin’s chasing party quickly followed Oscar. Oscar ran through the maze-like alleys, checking from time to time that Yangyang had Mabel on her back.
‘It’s as Mabel said.’
There was a high probability that Veron would also search private houses, but after a few hours, Devlin’s soldiers came in. Having prepared in advance, they secretly escaped through the back door and were on their way to escape.
[I guess Enrique alone can’t be fooled! What kind of trouble is this!]
Yang grumbled, but ran while being careful not to injure Mabel. The timing of the end of this operation completely depended on Mabel’s return. The assumption in case of failure was not even assumed. Hiding in an inconspicuous alley of a private house, they caught their breath.
“If we procrastinate, we are at a disadvantage.”
[I’ve already been caught, so wouldn’t it be nice to join Enrique?]
“Yes. Better stick around.”
After a brief strategy meeting, Oscar and Yang started running down the dirty alley again. Joining Enrique wasn’t that difficult. It was because I just had to go to a noisy place as if I was making fun of the pursuit team. When they bumped into each other in an alley, Enrique, who had taken an offensive stance thinking they were enemies, lowered his sword with his eyes wide open.
“Oscar?”
“I got caught too. Let’s act together.”
“Your Majesty?”
“yet.”
Enrique’s worried gaze reached Mabel on Yangyang’s back. However, there was no time to talk, and the pursuers followed closely to the neck. After taking off his long wig, Enrique attacked the pursuers blocking his way.
“Run at once!”
Their intentions have changed since the purpose of deceiving or enticing has already disappeared. To keep Mabel safe until he returns. It was at a time when the runaway without promise was continuing.
“Ugh!”
Suddenly, Mabel’s body began to tremble nonstop. Mabel’s sudden convulsion caused the sheep to stop.
[Mayble…?!]
I wondered if he had returned, but something was strange. Yangyang, who observed the flow of Mabel’s energy, was in shock.
“what’s the matter?”
“Why is His Majesty doing this?”
The two escorts blocked the attack of the pursuers and kept Yang and Mabel in check so that no one could approach them. Soon, Yang’s sentence-like murmur continued.
[It looks like the assimilated animal has lost its life…]
There was a terrible silence. Oscar’s sword, which had knocked down one of the pursuers by inertia, hung limply.
“Nonsense.”
one step two steps. The approach was risky.
“It’s Mabel.”
For Oscar, Mabel has always been a symbol of victory. I firmly believed that this operation would also be successful, but I did…
“Your Majesty. Come to your senses. your majesty!”
Enrique shook Mabel, but it was motionless as if he were dead. At Mabel’s dying breath, they were devastated like children who had lost their way. The operation was a failure.

“Oscar when you go. When you come, Aidan.”
The voice of a person who sighed as if he was tired, but was cheerful, passed through my mind for an instant. Kwakwawang! While attacking Devlin Imperial Castle and facing Veron, Aidan’s head was filled with only one person. have to go back soon Aidan was at ease even in the pouring rain of magic arrows. Veron only observed Aidan repeating attacks and defenses on his own, even on top of the half-destroyed wall.
‘Veron Arthur Devlica.’
When our eyes met, Veron leaned on his chin and smiled. Aidan couldn’t figure out his intentions. It was then. phut-! Red firecrackers exploded in the midday sky. It was the signal for the end of the operation.
‘Is it over?’
As Aidan’s attack stopped, the mood of Devlin’s soldiers became more acute. Seeing Aidan like that, Veron slowly got up. And he spoke generously as if he was showing kindness.
“Rebellion is like this. Aidan Devlica.”
“shut up.”
“There will be no lord to return to anyway…”
“…What?”
At Veron’s meaningful words, Aidan felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart.
‘It must be a false plot to shake me.’
Of course I thought so, but Veron’s confident smile caught my heart. Aidan left behind all such ominous things and looked for a way to retreat. But Veron also had no intention of letting him go.
“You came here with pride, but you didn’t think that this body would let you go easily, did you?”
“What if I don’t let you go?”
“What…”
Veron grinned and raised a hand. Before I knew it, Devlin’s proud army of magic surrounded Aidan. It was a tight siege.
“Even if you cripple it, you have to kneel.”
“…”
“It’ll get better soon anyway.”
“….”
“And be reborn. As the faithful military dog of this body.”
to be reborn. Aidan and Veron were the only people who knew the true meaning of those words. It meant stabbing him through the heart and then using it again. Despite the apparent provocation, Aidan was not shaken. At that moment, red firecrackers exploded again. At the signal of the end of successive operations, Aidan faced a large army of thousands of magic alone.
‘I have to go back.’
Get out of this damn land and go to Ermano. where he should be Aidan’s energy shot menacingly towards the large army of magic. The formation of those who had endured with a large-scale defensive barrier gradually began to crumble. Quaguagua-!
“The formation collapses! Stop it!”
“Aww!”
Attacks came from all directions, but they were blocked by Aidan’s black energy and could not enter. The spirit of the wizards, who were fighting against the overwhelming strength that could not even be damaged, was in a broken state. bang! Finally, Aidan, who had destroyed the ranks of the large magic army head-on, leisurely passed between the soldiers. Just then, Oscar came running from the other side.
“Oscar.”
“Did you not see the signal?”
“It is the way to go.”
Aidan felt strange. I’m sure we’ve decided on a meeting place, so there’s no need to be in such a hurry. As if driving a wedge into that anxiety, Oscar declared.
“Operation… a failure.”
operation failure. At that moment, Aidan turned around and met Veron’s eyes.
“Look at that. Didn’t this body tell you? There will be no lord to return to.”
“…what did you do?”
“I dared to invade the sanctuary of this body, so I personally removed it. He probably died from the shock. If you do well, you might be able to stay hidden.”
It was an instant. Cold anger burning like an active volcano. Aidan’s red eyes lost focus. In the unusual atmosphere, the magic giants were terrified.
“Aidan. Wake!”
Blinded by rage, Oscar’s cries were not heard. Aidan’s black energy burst out in an instant, causing a rough wind.
“Aww!”
“Barrier. Open the barrier!”
“Protect Your Majesty!”
Aidan’s steps were directed towards only one person. Enemy Veron Arthur Devlica on the Wall. kill. Remove. I will rip your throat and splatter you with blood. Uncontrollable energy shot out in all directions and began to attack enemies without distinguishing between them.
“Mabel told me not to run wild!”
It was the moment Oscar shouted. Surprisingly, my mind, which had been cloudy, seemed to clear up. It’s just a name. I just heard your name
‘…Mabel.’
Aidan’s energy gradually faded. The noticeable change made Devlin-kun lose his guard for a moment. At that moment, Aidan’s eyes flashed. He jumped up and swung his sword. Someone’s blood poured out brutally.
“Aidan…!”
Veron, who lost an arm in an instant, let out an angry roar. Even though he regained his reason, his anger did not disappear. The urge to attack again and take his life arose, but Aidan chose to run away.
