Episode 623 Awakening (5)
Ray thought about the future and worked his legs nonstop.
After running for half a day more, I was able to arrive near the border of Celia before I knew it.
The nostalgic smell of home.
I was enjoying the joy in the middle of the day with my nose wide open, when a child in tattered clothes staggered towards me.
“Please give me something to eat…”
What is so scary?
If you look at the way he covers his face while looking at his eyes, it seems that he has a history of being beaten several times.
He was wearing a deeply raging robe, but the bruises were clearly visible on the inside.
‘No matter how nameless the village is… When did the area around Celia become so devastated?’
It was clear that Celia probably didn’t know.
Otherwise, there’s no way I’d just leave a town this devastated.
“I have nothing but a body like this.”
The child’s complexion brightened when he took out the jerky he had been chewing on and handed it to him.
“Can I have a bar?”
“okay. Let’s ask something before that.”
Before he could say anything, the boy who had taken the jerky hurriedly took the piece of meat to his mouth in case it was taken away.
Well well.
‘It makes my heart weak.’
“The village shouldn’t have been like this from the beginning… what has happened in the meantime?”
Would it be difficult to recall?
The child answered with a dark face at first glance.
“The black men destroyed the village…”
Black men?
Ray intuitively thought of the black room.
It is a black room that incites mercenaries to create a war with the principality and is in the middle of a war of nerves with the castle.
I wondered why they had reached out to such a remote village.
‘What are you aiming for?’
wisdom?
Human Resources?
Even Ray, who had been keeping an eye on the progress of the black room, could not understand the current situation.
At most, they wouldn’t have attacked to occupy such a shabby village.
That’s when I was thinking about it.
The sun gradually began to set.
The yellowish sun went down and the sky turned red.
A faint, unpleasant aura crept into his senses.
A deep energy that I know well.
It was definitely ‘Magi’.
‘But why in the world is Magi…’
Even in the middle, Magi can naturally occur, but it wasn’t dense enough to get caught in the feeling.
The child’s expression hardened sharply.
“You have to avoid blood. At night, all of them…”
The sight of them stammering and looking around was not normal for anyone to see.
It wasn’t just one child who showed symptoms.
In the village, the people who have been living as if they were dead are locking the doors and windows, both adults and children.
Looking closely, I could see traces of the windows and walls covered with boards in each house.
Even Ray gasped for breath at the dreary scenery.
That moment.
The cries of monsters began to be heard from all over the forest.
Maybe they gathered after hearing the smell of Magi spreading throughout the village.
It was only then that Ray realized the intentions of the Black Room to some extent.
“So you were planning to use the village as a camp for monsters.”
I’m so mad I can’t even speak
Whether or not the villagers die, the way the plan is carried out is undoubtedly the way of the black room.
The child burst into tears when he could hear the breathing of the monsters from beyond the bush.
aura of death.
The monsters who lost their reason because they were possessed by demons were brutal.
When they smelled human flesh, they became more violent than before.
“Oohhh!”
An ogre with its eyes widened vigorously charged at us.
coo-!
coo-!
The feeling of intimidation that shook the ground every time he ran seemed too much for a weak human being to face.
Let the contemplative child cover his face and crouch down.
Ray snapped his sword with his fingers.
He grabbed the handle of the sword that soared into the air and turned it round and round.
The knee of the ogre that was approaching was caught in that trajectory.
“Quaaaaagh!”
Ray, who easily cut the tendon, then proceeded to slit his neck.
Slow-!
The ogre, whose supply and demand had been cut off, collapsed just as it came running.
Whoops-!
When a giant monster was slaughtered in an instant, the child watched the scene with wide eyes.
‘You’ve already been pickled in magi. I have no choice but to kill him.’
A monster that has tasted Magi once cannot go back.
I don’t know if I have enough intellect to endure it.
I couldn’t just watch the harms that lost their reason and wandered in search of demons.
Ray willingly scattered mana.
“Wind cutter.”
Shish shush shush-!
Colorless blades flew at the monsters hiding in the bushes.
Instinctively feeling the crisis, they threw themselves to avoid it, but it was already too late.
Pooh-!
hook-!
With a chilling sound, the monster’s bones and flesh were cut away.
Let the surviving monsters belatedly try to escape.
“Entangle.”
The roots of the trees that had been spreading throughout the forest were tethered to the monsters as if they were ropes
.
“Wind cutter.”
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Queueek!”
The village, which had been filled with eerie cries, finally regained comfort.
Magi is an aura that calls for blood.
If left as it is, another disaster will surely occur.
Ray gathered mana again.
“Cure.”
Whoa-!
The mana that extended from Ray along with the starter purged the demonic energy.
The sight of yellow light floating in the air and emitting light was not enough to be called a superb view.
If anyone who knew it had seen it, they would have been astonished.
Purifying magic with the healing magic of the circle?
It could not have been an unheard-of usage.
Leaving the child still trembling in fear behind.
Having dealt with all the monsters, Ray took another step.
‘Since we’ve eliminated Magi, there won’t be any monsters getting seduced.’
All that remains now is the principality.
They are the ones who scatter demonic energy even in villages on the periphery.
Looking at the black room that comes out boldly every day, he began to worry about his territory.
If they make up their minds and raise their troops, they cannot be stopped by Zeke or the security guard.
Of course, he ordered Sunbok to follow Zeke and prepare a territory for the goblins to live in, so his worries were alleviated, but he couldn’t relax because he didn’t know what other powers there might be in the black room.
Ray’s footsteps became even more urgent after witnessing Magi.
* * *
Subok couldn’t figure out where the hell this place was.
– I’m sure this was the right amount.
I scratched the back of my head and looked around.
barren land.
The caves and rivers that can be seen everywhere are perfect for goblins to live in.
what do you do then
The absence of goblins and henchmen(?) that should have been there.
Why did you come to this point?
Subok couldn’t hold back and let out a sigh.
-Being a top-notch spirit, you have to do such nonsense. My brother is also very nice.
Even if I died soon, I would not admit that I was lost alone.
Should I go back to the spirit realm?
His desire to do so was like a chimney, but if he was caught, he might have to start his life over in micro-spirits this time.
– It’s annoying, but there’s no other way than going back the way you came.
Soonbok didn’t hesitate to do what Gilchi should have done most.
Full of mana, he flew in the sky.
* * *
Karan’s sword was about to cut Soyoung in two.
As Vido flew from afar at furious speed, Karan quickly retrieved the sword.
Key Yiing-!
He raised his sword and blocked it, but his career in Vido was not something to be seen lightly.
The power that climbed up the sword body and reached the grip resounded.
Karan also hardened his complexion at the power that tingled his wrists and shoulder collarbones.
“Who are you?”
“…When you hear the name, you must be prepared for death.”
worried voice.
The sound was like the voice of a death god, so Karan said while straining his whole body.
“If you can die on the battlefield, isn’t that also a desirable end? Please tell me your name.”
as if whispering to him.
A woman’s voice rang in my ears.
“…Hongyoung.”
Startle!
Karan swung his sword straight in the direction of the sound.
Whoop-!
However, his sword only skimmed through the air.
‘…I didn’t notice the presence.’
It was not unreasonable for an Assassin, no matter how skilled he was, to see through stealth.
Where on earth was the assassin raised so that even he himself could not pinpoint his location?
As if teasing her, the woman took all directions and blew her raincoat all over the place.
Kaaaang-!
Caan-!
The published career is staggering.
In addition, as each one is aiming at a vital point and rushing at it, if you lose your guard even for a moment, the Bido will pierce your body.
In the midst of extreme tension, Karan sweated like rain.
fleeting moment.
A small gap indeed.
The secret that came through the gap contained the sword master’s vision called the Outer Lands.
I didn’t know at first, but I knew it when I cut off the rain one by one.
‘Aura Blade.’
It’s not just putting an aura blade on a sword.
That it can be blown away by overlaying it on a medium called ‘Raindo’.
The woman could say that she was already beyond maturity and was looking at the end of the road.
Karan looked at the point where Bido flew in and looked for an opportunity.
If the opponent is aiming for a moment, there is nothing that you can’t do because you are yourself.
I’m concentrating right now.
So-young, who hadn’t been paying attention until now, grabbed the sword in reverse and kicked it.
Chae Ae Ae-!
“Keugh!”
“Ho-ho-ho. Because we are good at multiplayer battles.”
It was like a lie that I was sweating in a crisis.
Soyoung drew Karan’s attention with her unique smile.
Another lesser sword master, Philes, joined the fight.
“I can’t see you.”
Kaaaang-!
As soon as Bido and Soyeong’s onslaught was struck at the same time, Karan’s breath was relieved.
momentary leisure.
In that amount of time, there was not enough time to adjust the posture.
Standing back to back, the two were wary of their surroundings and brainwashed.
“Is the real thing different? I don’t know how long this tension has lasted.”
Looking at the corners of his mouth going up even though he was so nervous that his whole body was drenched in sweat, it was easy to see that he was a true pervert named Mu-in.
Hongyoung quietly showed up to see what was going on.
Ssssss-
A small noise, like a soft wind blowing.
Even though you can see it with the naked eye, you can’t feel any presence, so it’s a mysterious degree of hiding.
How strong would a person like that have become if he had walked the path of a swordsman instead of an assassin?
Excitement was reflected on the faces of the two middle-aged people because their hearts were pounding just from imagining it.
Does his sudden appearance mean that he will treat unmanned people like unmanned people?
“You mean to deal with me as a prosecutor?”
Nod –
Instead of answering, he nodded his head slightly.
It’s an enemy, but it’s polite to respect.
In response, Philes bowed his head politely.
“Thank you for the courtesy. I would appreciate it if you did your best.”
