[ Episode 216. Appearance and reunion]
Something that was speeding through the deep forest with a strange movement suddenly stopped.
In front of him, an old man with a benevolent smile was sitting on a rock by the roadside as if he was waiting.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
Morne smiled and spoke to someone who had stopped.
It was a monstrous Jester with a cone-shaped hat covering his shoulders.
“Morn Dwalski.”
“haha. Didn’t you expect me to come?”
“…Do you know what you and your little boy are doing?”
“No, I don’t know.”
Morne shamelessly shook his head.
Jester’s new model trembled at that appearance, but soon continued to speak quietly.
“It’s a sin, it’s a sin. Have you forgotten why we were collecting sins?”
“It has nothing to do with the old lady. I hope you don’t treat us on the same level as you and some of them.”
“okay. Let’s say sin doesn’t matter. But if the anger gets into the Emperor’s hands, there’s no way to contain it. The reason we got on his nerves was that sparks would fly at you, a member of the coven.”
“I admit that. It could definitely be dangerous.”
“Wouldn’t that be something to talk about so quickly?”
Seeing Morn’s attitude, Jester slowly began to use his magic power.
I was realizing through the atmosphere that it could not be resolved through dialogue.
“Isn’t it a matter of not being taken away by the emperor?”
“The shadow of the moon moved. You’re not going to lose it though? I don’t know if you have it yourself, but do you think Adrias Cromwell will be able to protect it?”
“That’s something you don’t know. And why do you think Adrias is guarding it alone?”
“……Who else is there?”
Having said that, Jester’s face flashed.
“Luna Pendragon?”
“Think whatever you want.”
“Somehow I couldn’t figure out the location, so it looks like I’m going to Wrath. However, Luna Pendragon’s combat power is not up to the level of Moonshadow. Even more so if you have to keep your anger.”
“That is none of your business. Why don’t you stop watching the liver and start slowly? It’s been a while since I’ve been with you.”
The undefeated dark fighter Jester Levan.
However, his myth of invincibility was false.
A battle fought secretly in an empty place with Morn Dwalski, a rising star at the time.
There he suffered only one defeat.
“Time flies. At that time, you were a distant senior.”
“It is still the same today. Does your outward appearance make you no longer a junior?”
“Since you haven’t grown up since then, I don’t think calling you a senior is a bit of an understatement.”
“……I don’t know. You look at me so funny.”
“Hey Jester. For us wizards, years are strength. Do you know? In contrast, you are a body that cannot grow.”
The entire space around Morne was dyed black.
An overwhelming size and mass that can stain the entire radius with just the entrance to the subspace.
“You know what you don’t know?”
“If you say that, what am I supposed to answer?”
“Heh heh. you made a mistake I bet you don’t think I’m alone in targeting Adrias Cromwell.”
“Fade?”
“okay.”
“There’s no way Fade will go out on his own anyway, so the old man just needs to take care of you.”
“Your faith is great. Do you think that kid can hold out against the special mercenaries of the Dark World?”
Morne burst into laughter at Jester’s words.
“Heh heh heh! Jester, you are definitely a ghost of the past!”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“It means that people’s eyes are not the same as before. still don’t know Our time is running out. A new era will now begin. It is also a time of turbulence incomparable to our time!”
The death knights starting to come out of the subspace shed vicious momentum.
Morne smiled as he put his troops in front.
“Adrias Cromwell will be the leading figure of that era.”
**
I never imagined Fade would come this far in person.
Yep, he’s an underworld tycoon. Of course, it was the recognition that it was natural to hide behind the curtain.
“I didn’t expect Fade-sama to come in person. If you are comfortable watching from the side, we will take care of it.”
“Siss.”
“……yes? Are you running away?”
Golas expressed surprise as if he had heard an incredible story.
Can you hear that strange noise? What did you mean?
I slowly opened the distance to check Fade’s reaction.
“Sueuuu.”
Soon, Fade’s gaze turned to us, and Fione, who was next to me, said.
“I am Pione Ardi. He is from the Ardi family. Fade You must be doing business with our family, so I don’t know why you’re attacking us.”
“Sue. Sew. Ssss.”
Fade didn’t react to Phione’s words, but returned his gaze to Golas and made an incomprehensible noise.
Then Golas looked at him with bewildered eyes and nodded.
“Withdraw! Leave right now!”
“to?”
Fione let out an embarrassed voice.
And, as if the feelings of the others were not so different, he made an expression of incomprehension.
“Why…….”
Balan to rip and kill.
When he raised his question, Golas yelled.
“It doesn’t matter as long as you get the money! Hurry up and withdraw!”
“You say it doesn’t matter as long as you get the money? If that was the case, I would rather have hired my subordinates to form a mercenary corps. I am moving myself to taste the blood.”
“You madman! Now is not the time to say such things! If you don’t want to die, hurry up and withdraw…”
What is it? Golas’ attitude was strange.
He said to withdraw, but as if he had to run away…….
Shuung-
Sugeuk!
“Keep it off!”
And the answer to that reaction was immediately revealed.
A sword of white light suddenly appeared and killed one of the mercenaries surrounding us in the blink of an eye.
“Oh dear. To see our king in a place like this… I guess we are destined.”
The voice I heard soon after was a familiar one to me.
A believer in the light who was more faithful than anyone else.
Unlike the usual white armor, this time, an elderly man dressed in black.
“Evan.”
“How have you been, my king?”
The strongest among the 10 continents appeared with a bright smile.
“Siss.”
“Are you going to interrupt our monumental meeting with the King? You are rude.”
He who called me king right before we parted ways, and the last news I heard was that he had been expelled from the kingdom.
After that, he said his whereabouts were unknown, but I don’t know why he’s here.
“Still, thanks to chasing you, a fateful meeting with the king took place, so in return…”
Dozens of white swords rose to Evan’s side.
“I’ll just rip the mask off his face.”
Evan, who spoke with a wry smile, was terrified.
Fione next to me seemed to be unable to keep up with the situation, and was confused with her sword raised.
“Evan von Orleon? Why is that person here? Adrias-senpai knows too?”
There was no time to be surprised.
As Evan’s aura rain began to embroider the sky, Fade lifted his mask slightly and began to spit out swarms of insects through his torn mouth.
Flutter-
Tyrik! Tyrik!
Soon, the surrounding space began to fill with Fade’s swarms of insects and Evan’s aura.
“Withdraw quickly! Run on your own if you don’t want to die!”
Golas left the last words and disappeared from the spot.
The mercenaries who surrounded us also began to run away in contemplation.
“Seniors!”
“are you okay. Rather good.”
Phione called me with a look in her eyes, but I stayed calm.
Judging by Evan’s attitude, he was definitely on our side.
And no matter how much Fade was the warlock of the assembly that flew and crawled, he could not compare to Evan, who belonged to the continent 10, so there was no reason to run away.
“Are you thinking of running away?”
On the surface, it looked like they would fight soon, but apparently feeling something, Evan tilted his head.
In fact, Fade’s black magic did not collide with Evan’s Aura Biggie, only hovering around it.
“Ssssssss.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but don’t you have any pride for being a Warlock? And if you run away, I will chase you again.”
Fade used magic without answering.
In front of him, something translucent like a mirror was created, and bugs surrounded it.
Evan’s swords attacked him, but so many bugs that it looked like a black sandstorm became a barrier.
“Sue.”
Fade cast a glance at me.
And I also saw such a fade.
“Fade. I will not forget this and see you later.”
Then I will kill you myself.
When I saw him off with a smile, he threw himself into the translucent mirror and disappeared on the spot.
“Is this so……?”
While Fione panicked, Evan slowly walked towards me.
Then, he got down on one knee.
“It is a pleasure to meet you, King Evan.”
“Evan. You seem more absorbed in playing the king than last time.”
“haha. Yes. Now, this is my reason for living.”
You are still aware of your actions.
I’m glad I’m not crazy.
“But I was really surprised. After chasing Fade, I thought the king would be there.”
“I thought Evan was looking for me.”
“no. I came here after chasing him to kill him. But you did a really good job chasing me. It’s nice to see you after a long time.”
What on earth was he doing chasing Fade?
I was about to ask him about it when Fione grabbed my sleeve and shook it.
“How did this happen? Please explain.”
“Hmm? What about the lady over there?”
When Evan asked, Fione passed the neck belt.
I was surprised to see her more nervous than I thought, but she managed to introduce herself.
“My name is Pione Ardi, the daughter of the Marquis of Ardi. Nice to meet you Sir Evan.”
“My name is Evan. A faithful servant of our King, Adrias Cromwell.”
“I don’t know how much of a joke, Evan.”
When I interrupted, Evan responded with a smile.
“haha. I’m serious. Because the king has the reason why I was expelled from the Holy Kingdom.”
“Are you saying it’s because of me?”
“That’s right. Shining person, after being dismissed to serve you, I was building a force so that he could stand on his own as a true king.”
“Influence?”
Something went beyond my expectations as the story progressed.
I wasn’t joking, Evan seemed genuinely loyal to me.
“I was constantly preparing to be of strength to the king. The King is Light! Light shines much brighter in the dark. So I decided to become that darkness myself.”
“for a moment.”
Nothing more to say here.
There is no need to tell Fione all this information.
“Let’s talk separately.”
“Is it because of this lady? I thought it was the king’s servant, but…”
“Your colleague is right. But I want to talk to you separately.”
Seeing the strange light in Evan’s eyes, he hurriedly covered it up as a colleague.
I don’t know if it was my mistake, but if I hadn’t said it sooner, Fione would have died.
Phione’s death would cause a major setback to my plans, so I couldn’t let it happen even once.
“All right. Since we met, I will accompany you for a while. It looks like you’re getting into trouble.”
“Yes, you do…!”
Timur?
I stopped talking and focused on Timur’s signal.
This side was also this side, but it felt like a problem had broken out where Timur was.
‘But it’s okay.’
It wasn’t just Timur and Monsieur there.
I used all available cards.
‘Luna and…….’
As long as he was there, there was no need to worry.
