Episode 280
I remember hearing the conversation between Delus Robert and Mattio in my previous life.
[The white-blooded priest is truly difficult not because of mighty force, but because of dirty sorcery. It’s hard to properly approach the threat of witchcraft, where you don’t know where and how it will be activated.]
Derus clicked his tongue briefly as he said that.
[Especially in a place where the shaman has been set up in advance, fighting the white blood lord is no different from shouting for me to die. Do you remember that the shadows sent to Riten Village were wiped out not too long ago?]
[Yes.]
Matio nodded hard like a wooden doll.
[That is also the sorcery of the white-blooded cultist. After pouring blood energy into the humans in the shaman’s camp and making them into sacrifices that follow the master’s orders, the sheep and the blood energy with increased purity are extracted alive and eaten. Isn’t it amazing to be a parasitic of blood?]
Derus said it was a beautiful and efficient method, and instructed Matio to analyze and study the method.
Of course, it failed, but thanks to what I learned over my shoulder at that time, I was able to fill my knowledge of witchcraft and jinbeop.
Raon bit his lip as he recalled the conversation that day.
‘Are you sure. It’s that spell.’
Although the form and method were very different from those heard at the time, the purpose remained the same.
The jinbeop installed throughout Gran Seville was a sorcery to infuse blood into the humans inside and then extract and consume the energy that grew and became more pure later on.
Literally a farm. This Gran Seville was in the process of becoming a human breeding ground for white-blooded Christians to grow their blood.
‘How can you think like this?’
He lived as a hunting dog in his previous life and saw numerous dirty things and committed them himself, but this is a different class. It was unbelievable that he could do such a thing while wearing human skin.
‘To think that all these people will be sacrificed…’
The countless people in front of them fall prey to the white blooded believers the moment the shaman’s circle is completed.
You may think that you live as a free human being, but in reality you will be a fish in a tank waiting to go up to the table of guests, following your bloody will.
‘I can’t leave it like this.’
Sylvia’s voice comes to mind. Her only request was to raise a sword for the weak like a swordsman like Sieghart.
‘No.’
It was disqualification as a human being, not as a swordsman, to watch this quietly, apart from Sylvia’s request.
“Ahahaha!”
“You got a good kick today. Let’s do just one more game!”
“Are there any more drinks? Bring them all!”
“Thank you so much for today.”
“See you next time.”
Raon looked up at the sky from the central avenue of Gran Seville, which was so noisy that it hurt his ears. He glared at the bloody fog that spread like a cumulus cloud and hardened his heart.
‘I’ll break it.’
By any means.
* * *
Marta knelt down to eye level with the girl who was silent.
“What is your name?”
Since he didn’t talk about his wounds, he decided to change the topic for now.
“Luna.”
“Luna? He has the same name as the stupid kid I know.”
“Are you stupid?”
“okay. There are fools whose eyes are open 365 days a year.”
“Where in the world is such a person!”
“It really is. I’ll see you later when I get a chance.”
Marta smiled, thinking of Runan who was always bruised.
“My name is Martha.”
“Marta…”
“Luna. Yes, because it’s really important. Can you tell me what those wounds look like?”
“…”
Luna showed a childlike appearance, but kept her mouth shut when only talking about her wounds came up.
“This is a recent wound. Tell me who cut you.”
Marta narrowed her eyes as she looked at the scar on Luna’s arm. Looking at the traces of the gap, it seemed that he had been hit by a blade like a sword.
“It didn’t happen to anyone. And…”
Luna shut her mouth again as if she couldn’t speak.
“Whoa.”
Martha let out a deep sigh and tossed the wallet back to Luna lightly, then caught it.
“Then there is nothing you can do. let’s go.”
“Where are you?”
“Where is it, of course, the guards. We caught the pickpocket on the spot, but we can’t just let it go, can we? ah! no. Before that, I have to go to him first.”
“That guy?”
“okay. human to dog. There’s a nerd who turns that into a mad dog.”
He looked down at Luna and gave a cool smile.
“Oh no! I must go back today!”
“That’s none of my business.”
“please! I have a little brother!”
Luna grabbed her sleeve with a sad look.
“Um…”
Martha bit her lip.
‘Is that why?’
It is common sense that mercenaries or unmanned soldiers are generally not touched when pickpocketing, as if caught by a master, your wrist will be immediately blown off. I wondered if he didn’t know because he was still young, but he seemed to be in a hurry even though he knew.
“Because of the deposit?”
“yes. It’s tomorrow…”
Luna nodded, shaking her chin. The shame and desperation of the child touched his skin.
“good. I’ll give you all of this if you tell me.”
Martha pointed to the purse she was holding.
“Is that all?”
“okay. entire.”
“Umm…”
Luna’s eyes rolled mercilessly from side to side. The eyes that were shining with fear, embarrassment, and anxiety slowly stopped.
“…all right.”
“good.”
Marta threw her wallet at Luna without the slightest hesitation.
“Huh…”
Luna sighed while fiddling with the wallet she received.
“Actually, this isn’t about anyone.”
“what?”
“It’s a cut from the tip of a stone while burying a stone in the ground.”
She rubbed the wound that hadn’t healed yet and frowned.
“Are you going to bury the stones?”
“yes. If you bury a stone in the designated place, they give you money. It’s a cut from doing that job. And it’s been quite a while, but it’s not getting better.”
Marta examined Luna’s arm closely. Hearing it, it was more like a cut with a thick blade rather than a sword. If it was a sharp stone, it seemed possible enough.
“Who told you to install that stone?”
“That’s…”
“You were supposed to tell me.”
“I’m a merchant named Tewes.”
“merchant?”
“yes. He buys food and snacks for homeless children and makes them a place to stay, and sometimes he gives them pocket money and makes them work.”
Luna smiled lightly as she spoke of Twice. He seemed like a person of interest.
“Why did you ask me to bury that stone?”
“It was said to be a stone that protects the village from evil spirits.”
“Don’t other people know that?”
“no. I know, but now I think so. You are a very good believer in superstition. However, these days, the uncle told me not to talk….”
“I see.”
Marta clenched her fists as she listened to Luna’s words.
‘I got it.’
The guy named Tewes was definitely a white blood cult. It was clear that he had used the child to do dirty things to the land without anyone suspecting it.
‘At first, I gave him a fake stone, and now that interest has disappeared, he probably buried a stone with blood on it.’
In the early days, when other people might have doubts, they would have buried ordinary stones, and now, when interest has waned, given real bloody stones. He was a guy who could roll his head well.
“Luna. thank you.”
“Haa…”
Luna bit her lip with a guilty face.
“You might have saved this town.”
“yes? Are you saving me?”
“You will find out later.”
Marta smiled lightly and patted Luna on the shoulder.
“I think I can find the real demon thanks to you.”
* * *
Raon smiled lightly after hearing Martha’s story.
“It was too late, so I wondered if I should tie him up, but I never thought he would ask for this kind of information.”
Martha brought a bigger clue than anyone else. I was even more surprised because I didn’t expect anything.
“There’s a difference between the talkative guy over there and the sleepy guy.”
Martha snorted at Buren and Runan.
“Keugh!”
“…”
Burren frowned in anger, and Runan’s eyes widened.
“This is the stone Luna was talking about.”
“me?”
“Not you!”
Marta waved her hand at Runan, who turned her head, and held out a palm-sized stone to Raon.
“I didn’t even feel the horns.”
“Hmm…”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he examined the stone Martha had given him.
‘I’m sure there is.’
When the Ring of Fire was used in its polarity, traces of blood were found deep within the stones.
It was so subtle that if it weren’t for now that my senses have heightened, I would not have noticed it.
‘To think he was using a child.’
He’s got a good head
No one pays attention to abandoned children. Even the black market doesn’t pay much attention to the children’s future on the pretext that it stretches out in many ways.
I don’t know if I’ll be the right age or get a job. I didn’t pay much attention to the child who was no different from a beggar.
‘In addition, I used people’s psychology.’
At first, he played a good merchant who gives pocket money to children by making them bury a stone of no value, and then installed a bloody stone after getting rid of all doubts, so he was a very cautious guy.
‘It must have been used in that jinbeop.’
It was clear that a fellow called Tewes had the children bury these stones to supplement the formations over Gran Seville.
“I also found out something.”
Raon sat down Buren and Marta Runan and told them what he had learned so far.
“That crazy thing…”
“Ugh…”
Burren bit his lip until it bled, and Runan, who always reacts plainly, was so angry that he drew his sword right away.
“I have to go to Luna. It’s dangerous if you tell Tews that you met me!”
Martha turned around as if she were about to run away. I told Luna not to talk and I heard the answer, but I became anxious.
“Martha. It’s nice to go out, but what you really need to look out for isn’t Luna.”
Raon shook his head slowly.
“That guy called Tewes will call Luna soon. Keep an eye on him.”
“Tews is calling Luna?”
“okay. There is not much left until the completion of the Jinbeop.”
It won’t take long for the jinbeop to be activated when you see a bundle of blood floating in the sky. Considering the cautiousness of a fellow named Twice, he will move the children again this time.
“After Marta and Team 1 figured out the location of Tews, Guard Burren and Team 3 assist Team 1. Runan and Team 2 pursue the White Blood Church separately as usual.”
“okay.”
“huh.”
Burren and Martha Runan nodded and left the room.
‘I must go too.’
Raon opened the door and left the room without the slightest sign.
Even though it was dawn, the night in Gran Seville was still colorful and noisy. Unseen by anyone, I stood on the roof of an old tavern and looked up at the sky.
“It is clean.”
Looking at it this way, the night sky was so clear that there wasn’t even the slightest dark cloud in it. I laughed and operated the ring of fire, and the clouds of blood that filled the clear sky filled my vision.
Raon laughed at the red mist and brushed his hair.
“Let’s see who wins.”
* * *
A subterranean cavity where soft light spills out.
The seven apostles reached out and touched the common floor full of blood. A white light radiated from his grip, and the blood began to bubble and boil.
The blood filled with heat moved flexibly like a living snake, drawing lines of flesh on the floor. It was the same shape as Gran Seville with the right angle slightly distorted.
The 7 apostles smiled with satisfaction as they looked at the six star drawn with blood.
“Tews.”
“yes.”
Tus, who was standing behind, knelt on the floor.
“This is complete. What about you?”
“All preparations are complete. After adjusting the technique, you can install the bloodstone tomorrow night.”
Teuce’s tone was extremely polite, as if he were welcoming God.
“Are you using those bastards again?”
“yes. It’s the most inconspicuous way, thanks to the pre-work done.”
“Because you use your hair very well.”
The 7 apostles twisted their chins and laughed.
“Those kids must have a fair amount of blood, so it must be delicious to eat.”
“Sorry, but those children cannot be prey.”
“what?”
“Because the moment the sorcery is completed, the bloodstone will absorb life force and become a mummy.”
Tews hung his head, talking of children’s lives like stones on the side of the road.
“Ha ha ha ha!”
The 7 apostles leaned their backs against the wall and let out a burst of light.
“I teased him because he seemed to care about my child, but there was no need for that.”
He looked down at Tus and smirked.
“You are more proud than anyone else. The blessings of the Blood God will always be with you.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
Teuces shook his shoulders as if he was thrilled.
“What is Raon doing?”
“It is like yesterday. I’m just walking around Gran Seville to see if I’m looking for prison guards.”
“It’s just fine.”
The seven apostles grinned as they scratched the scars on their chests.
“As scheduled, I will open the magic tonight and activate it tomorrow night.”
“I will do as you command.”
Tewes nodded and sank into the floor.
“tomorrow. It’s finally tomorrow.”
The eyes of the 7 apostles flashed red like blood on the floor.
“Raon Sieghart. You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for this day.”
I will tear your flesh and blood alive.
* * *
Raon went around Gran Seville the next day as well. I looked at the shaman here and there, and stopped at a deserted alley when the moon rose.
‘It’s not easy.’
The unknown energy permeated into the blood circulated endlessly, interfering with the interpretation of the spell. I couldn’t figure out the proper flow due to the barrel intervening between the blood.
‘What is it?’
The familiar energy was certain, but it was difficult to identify its identity. It stuck to the blood like gum and never showed its true form.
I knew it was difficult to dismantle the camp, but I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be able to reveal my identity until this evening.
“Haa…”
He sighed deeply and looked at the shaman again. In the red fog, the red-lipped woman seemed to be laughing at you saying you couldn’t do it.
-You damn bastard…
Lars trembled his chin and exposed his nails.
– Stop drinking now! Let’s eat some rice!
The smell of alcohol came from his mouth and he struggled with his arms and legs, saying he was going to die.
‘It can’t be helped.’
I’m sorry, but the interpretation of the witchcraft was sluggish, so I didn’t have time to eat.
-The fragrant smell of food vibrates right in front of your nose, so why can’t you eat it! How long does the original king have to be unhappy!
“Um…”
Raon rubbed his stomach. I hadn’t eaten properly since yesterday, so I was hungry.
-There is a saying in the demon realm that etheric acid is after eating. let’s eat first Eating rice will surely bring you good thoughts.
Lars muttered strange proverbs and shouted Bob in succession.
‘okay.”
I nodded my head, thinking that it would be good to take a short break after using the ring of fire for too long.
‘Where is good?’
-Is it real? Are you really going?
‘Tell me quickly before you change your mind.’
-The main king is attracted to the restaurant on the right. The smell of barbecue coming from there seemed to drive me crazy!
‘Barbecue…’
Raon smiled and walked in the direction Lars said. One last look at the shaman before entering the noisy restaurant.
‘Still change… Huh?’
When he was about to subside the ring of fire, the blood in the sky suddenly surged and caused a change never seen before.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
All over Gran Seville, red blood and bright yellow aura bloomed like a haze and began to gather into a cloud of blood.
-Bar Bob is…
‘Quiet.’
I pushed Lass away and bit my lip as I watched the yellow aura permeated through my blood.
“Yogi.”
It was a yogi…
The familiar energy that was caught in the mist of blood was none other than a yogi.
Raon sharpened his teeth.
‘These crazy bastards.’
People who have negative emotions such as fear, resentment, and anger have a mysterious aura when they die. In other words, it leaves a yogi.
It was clear that the blood demons had improved that shamanic staff by using even the yogi of the people they killed. Because of Yogi’s bloody spirit, he couldn’t see a way to release the Jinbeop until now.
Woo woo woo!
The requiem sword also sensed it and raised a mighty sword. It was a cry of anger, resentment, and screams.
-Should we eat bar rice later? Ugh…
Lars left on his own.
Raon gripped the quivering blade of the Requiem Sword and returned to an alley where few people came.
Chiyiying!
I caught my breath and operated the ring of fire. The seven rings that became one with the scream of the requiem sword created a magnificent resonance using the body as a wind instrument.
The whole body heats up as if it has become a furnace, and the spirit rises.
The maximized senses focus the whole nerve on the interpretation of witchcraft. My brain was spinning fiercely in extreme immersion.
Whoa!
The dizzy flow of red fog became clear as if it could be seen. Like an aura that bends the mana circuit, the blood was running on a set track in the mist.
My heart beats wildly, but my head is as clear as a lake.
As if drawing a picture, he read the flow of blood in just one moment and inserted it into his head.
My body, which had been exhausted a moment ago, was full of vitality as if it were not mine.
His blood swelled more and more, but inside. Everything in that stream flowed into my brain.
He raised his finger and drew a line. The trajectory that reversed the flow of magic that filled my brain spread out along the red halo.
do it perfect The answer that would erase that gigantic spell at any moment spread through those fingers.
“Haa…”
A warm breath spread through Raon’s lips. As if the sun had risen after the moon had set, it poured out bright red rays of sunlight.
Realized.
All the answers to what that digit was and how to erase it were drawn in my head.
‘it’s over.’
If you put your mind to it, you can break that shaman’s circle at any time. Naturally, a round smile was drawn on his lips.
“Las.”
Raon held the scruff of Lars’ neck, who was drooping like a sleepy puppy.
“let’s go eat.”
-Are you really me?
Lars opened his mouth as if he didn’t know that he would ask to eat right away.
“okay. I am hungry too.”
His head was clear, but he was screaming for food from his stomach, as if he had consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.
-Keuu, now you can understand each other! Then let’s go to the place where we wanted to go yesterday!
“okay.”
Raon smiled. I was hungry, but I was grateful to Lars for waiting for me without saying anything, so I thought I’d let him eat whatever he wanted for breakfast.
-I’m starting to like you now. okay. This is coexistence and symbiosis. You’re a little too…
A message appeared in front of Raon’s eyes as Lars grinned.
[You have deciphered the absolute class shaman.]
[The title < Shaman Interpreter > is created.]
[The attribute < Truth Interpreter > is created.]
[All stats increase by 5 points.]
The reward for interpreting super-difficult shaman magic It was the reward of the system that came out as .
“?”
-?
The eyes of Raon and Lars, who were smiling, widened. Their expressions were similar, but their emotions were completely opposite.
‘Give me this?’
-Why are you giving me this!
