Chapter 499,
Chapter 138. Tower Keeper of the White Nights (5)
* * *
On the day Mary came to Tikan with her adolescent flag and fleet, Yona had nowhere to go, so she went straight back to the unknown city of Samil.
Sad and upset that she hadn’t taken a proper walk with her youngest child, she looked at her mission list, feeling bad all day.
It was to clear my mind while doing my work. The more difficult and complicated the work, the better the effect, so I only looked at the highest grade or rejected requests.
One of them was Kingelo’s request.
Owl was just going to tear up the request to steal one item from Ziffle’s 2 Magic Tower.
“Hey Oul. Why don’t you take that?”
“Because it’s just the right thing to break the back of a shrimp.”
“why?”
Recently, the extraordinary currents between the giant powers, the complex intertwined interests of the international situation, and the position that privates should take in this flow.
“…That’s why I thought it would be better not to accept it. Do you understand?”
“I don’t know what they are talking about even when I hear such annoying stories. Are you saying you just don’t want to do it?”
“That’s what it sounded like. Still, I did listen, so it’s much better than the days when you didn’t even listen to me and then suddenly disappeared.”
“Hee hee Anyway, it seems like a very important thing. Why won’t my family find me?”
You’re probably going to use it for something bigger than this, and there’s also an order from Sir Shiron.
Owl hid his words and smiled.
“Well, whatever the reason, it’s better not to find out. Especially for something like this.”
“Did Captain Kingelo personally request this?”
Leader of Kingelo.
After being able to control the chaos, Jonah became somewhat interested in him. It was because he knew that he knew ‘chaos’ well.
“How is that?”
“I wanted to meet you once.”
“why?”
“I want to ask you a few questions.”
Owl shrugged.
Although he talked about shrimp, etc., in fact, it wasn’t that Owl wasn’t greedy at all.
‘It’s an object of the 2 Magic Tower.’
Owl was sure it was a ship blueprint.
It was because he was aware of the recent leak of information about the secret drying facility in the Sota Desert on purpose.
As long as you got the blueprint, it was a good hand, even from an obscure point of view. It is highly likely to be the best means of negotiating initiatives among the giant powers.
‘Regardless of the request, if Jonah alone, not me, goes out on his own, the great powers will find it difficult to hold us accountable.’
In particular, Runkandel would never be held accountable.
No, beyond that, if Yona had secured the blueprint, it would have been something she would rather have to protect and express her gratitude to.
Also, in the first place, Yona wouldn’t even leave a trace of entering the 2nd Mage Tower. Her ability to stealth and assassination has long since surpassed that of Owl.
‘It’s not like I’m going to hear that I dry it anyway… I don’t think it would be too bad to just send it once.’
Jonah had already made up his mind, without Owl needing to think further.
“I will do this request.”
“Can not be done.”
“I’ll go even if you dry it hehe.”
“If you really want to go. You have to put some conditions on it.”
In the end, after seeing an agreement that was not an agreement with Oul, Yona headed for the 2nd Mage Tower.
And in the process, he learned that Joshua and the youngest son of Difus also participated in this battle, and from then on, Jonah’s first goal was not to complete the request, but to confirm the death of his youngest brother.
It wasn’t just because the youngest in the middle of Ziple’s sphere of influence looked like a child alone by the water.
‘Wow, it’s not even Draka, is it okay to have something like that in the 2nd Mage Tower? really?’
It was because while stealing the key from the 2nd Mage Tower and returning it, the brothers saw a monster they could never handle.
* * *
This was the background of Jonah coming to the 2nd Mage Tower.
She had been watching Jin and Murakan from the moment they first entered the underground drying yard.
And I was looking for the right moment. The moment when he could approach the youngest while avoiding both the crystal ball’s surveillance net and Hedo’s senses, Kingelo’s eyes.
In the end, that didn’t work. Not everything was possible even for Yona.
So, what appeared now was the next best option that I had no choice but to choose. It’s never the right moment for Hedorah to assassinate the monster, but if he doesn’t act now, the youngest might really lose his life.
Sgung!
Fuck-!
Jonah’s sword ‘Death’ and the veil of the long sword intersected leaving a sharp trail.
Except for one person, Hedo, who was the target of assassination, no one was aware of Jonah’s appearance. It was the moment when the transcendence of Hedo’s power stood out once more.
‘Sister Jonah?’
‘Jonah!?’
Runkandels all opened their eyes wide. The sudden appearance of Jonah was shocking, but more surprising than that.
It was the fact that Yona left a long and deep cut on Hedo’s chest with a single sword.
Tsuaaaaa-!
Red blood gushed from Hedo’s massive body. It left a much more vicious wound than the ones the party risked their lives and poured out numerous decisive battles and secret techniques.
On the other hand, Hedo’s counterattack only cut off the hem of Yona’s hair, and before she knew it, she dug into Hedo’s side once more and thrust the blade into his side.
“Oops…!”
Death dug into Hedo’s side for an inch and then escaped.
It’s an obvious slander. Normally, I would have to put an end to it at this opportunity, but Jonah did not continue his attack and widened the distance.
It was because the extremely limited advantage gained by using the ‘Silver Dragon’s Claw’ given to Mu-myeong by Jin in the past was over.
Since ancient times, unknown killers have regarded the silver dragon’s claws as sacred objects. If processed in a unique way, any object can stop time in the blink of an eye.
It was thanks to the god of obscurity that Jonah was able to cut and stab Hedo’s body so easily. Even though her assassination sword is indescribably excellent.
“Maknae Ugh!”
“sister!”
Jonah’s legs suddenly faltered as he moved away from Hedo and headed towards the camp. A drop of blood flowed between his lips.
Although the veil of the longsword did not touch directly when it was cut and stabbed with death, Yona suffered internal injuries from the energy that Hedo momentarily exploded. It was because the aftereffects that caused chaos not long ago had not yet gone away.
“…it was you!”
The guy who stole the blueprint!
Hedo’s eyes were shining, and he was rushing at Yona like a cannonball.
Murakan blocked his way with his breath and awl, then his brothers and Jane blocked Hedo’s path.
Despite being so injured, Hedo’s strength was still the same. Just like a wounded beast becomes more ferocious. Even though they were directly hit by the spirit awl and their breath, the party was stunned to see them rushing at them without hesitation.
But Hedo is a person.
Among the 10 stars, it must have been a class close to the strongest, but it was not a creation. He was enduring the cumulative shock with will.
The Runcandels were not unaware of that fact.
‘I have to escape with sister Yona!’
It must be the first and last chance to outwit Hedo.
Everyone in the party was thinking the same thing as Jin.
Even Jonah would have taken the blueprints, so if he escaped safely like this, this situation would be a victory for Runcandel.
The veil of the long sword was falling on the heads of the gathered brothers with a sense of intimidation like a falling mountain.
Aaaah-!
The warriors who clashed their swords screamed.
The ankles of the runcandels who had blocked Hedo’s blow fell to the ground, and eventually the solid space that had not collapsed even in the fierce battle collapsed as a whole.
The ceiling was also completely destroyed. It was because of the shock wave caused by the swords that Runcandels wielded to counter the long sword and the soaring awl of Murakan.
The entire tower was falling apart like that. Even as Runcandels and Hedo fell, they jumped on the fragments and fought in the air.
Every second, dozens of lines of sword energy fiercely intertwined and engulfed the air.
‘The wound is deep. It’s been permeated with quite a bit of extreme poison, and it even happens every time I move.’
Hedo gritted his teeth.
As far as the variable Jonah Runkandel, Hedo hadn’t expected it at all.
If he had known of her existence, he would never have had a ‘easy’ fight, as Jin said.
‘After all, it’s a situation where I really have to ask for support from the main unit.’
As long as Runcandel continued to fight, Hedo was still confident of defeating them all.
However, there was no way that Runkandel could be such an idiot. Running away is the natural order of things.
Therefore, Hedo could not be tolerated any longer.
thud!
Among those who fell, Hedo was the first to reach the ground.
At the same time, the thick gold ring on his index finger began to glow with strange runes. His ring was an artifact, a kind of signal magic similar to the one engraved on the wands of each tower owner.
The signal was immediately transmitted to Draka Ziple’s headquarters. The ring lit up, and before 3 seconds had passed, a massive alarm magic was being activated from far away.
‘I’m sorry, ma’am. I can only hope that the 12 Horseman is the owner of greater heavenly luck than rumors. Enough to survive the pursuit of Draka’s main body.’
Hedo still didn’t want to kill Jin. However, it was an unavoidable choice because if he just sent the Runcandels to this situation, not only would he be suspicious of himself, but Sandra could also be disadvantaged.
Hedo had only one thing to do.
Eliminate the ‘witnesses’ who saw themselves who said they would save Jin.
Anyway, I was planning to either let her die or deal with it herself, even as a warning to Octavia.
The Wraiths were still falling, exhausted, or gasping for breath, caught in the crevices of the broken towers.
Hedo, who raised his head to check their location and shoot the sword, tilted his head at the fact that the ceiling of the tower was open.
‘I’m sure the roof didn’t collapse? Why is it open?’
Throughout the fight, Hedo controlled his energy so that even if the inside of the tower was completely destroyed, the roof would not be damaged.
That is, someone broke it.
And Hedo felt like he knew who the main character was, so he had no choice but to press his forehead against the throbbing headache.
Hedo oh oh oh clothes-!
The owner of this incredibly booming, shrill, and nervous voice was none other than Sandra Zipple.
She was waiting all the time for Hedo to bring Jin, and when she recognized that the signal for support had been activated, she was throwing herself through the floor and into the battlefield.
“You stupid, useless muscle pig! it’s crazy!? Are you crazy! Call the main unit!? Are you going to kill our Jin?”
Sandra, who was shouting ferociously, made eye contact with Jin, who had just landed on the ground, and said this.
“self! I’ve been waiting for you. Where are you going to leave me? Let’s go together!”
Hearing Sandra’s line even in the midst of such an urgent situation, Jin felt goosebumps on the back of his neck.
Yet, on the other hand, instinctively.
He had a hunch that she might be of great help in escaping this place.
