How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Episode 32

flinch.

Beneath Xian’s sharp eyes, Verium flinched greatly.

Then he began to rub his face viciously.

“draft… … You knew everything too! Even that bastard, Berped, knew it all! He knew all about us! Do you pretend not to know about such a subject!?”

The guy started to glow.

Xian did not move while holding the sword.

Every one of Verium’s remarks and gestures was deeply imprinted in his head.

“sh*t! Somehow alive! It was all a trap! It was a trap to catch us!”

“Blowing now will be good for your body. If you are transferred to your family, you will no longer be able to see the light of the sun.”

“Damn it! Do you think I would say that!? Take me and see!”

“It has nothing to do with your will. The family has a good confession system, and there are many mind magic experts.”

“Kuh… … .”

Beriam’s eyes trembled rapidly.

In these days, barbaric torture like the past has been reduced even more.

There were many ways to extract information more efficiently and reliably.

It would have been better if he had surrendered and went to prison.

However, it was already game over when he was caught in Xian’s hand.

Sigh!

Verium broke and gnashed his teeth. There was bloody blood in his eyes as he looked at Xian.

Then what do you do?

The guy with the sword on his face.

“I will kill you!!”

Then, his eyes started to turn red.

It’s not something that makes the veins stand out. The egg white itself was turning red.

Xian’s eyebrows twitched.

What tricks?

‘Advent.’

Beriam’s final decision in a fit of rage.

Giving up one’s own body, self, and soul, and in return, letting ‘Haeryunggung’ descend into one’s body.

It is as reckless as trying to scoop up sea water with a gourd. Even once the body is allowed, it can never be regained.

His soul will flow to the owner of Haeryung Palace in Hell and suffer for eternity in the future.

despite knowing all of that.

More than that, Beriam had the intent to kill Cyan.

“―Water King’s Gap.”

The water of the lake seeped into his body, transforming his body into a piece of armor.

All wounds were filled with water. The place where the arm fell is also forcibly blocked by the hand armor.

A means to minimize the aftereffects of Advent.

“You don’t know how to give up.”

Of course, it wasn’t Xi’an to leave it alone.

He swung his sword at Verium.

Seeing the rushing sword, Beriam hurriedly shouted inwardly.

‘come fast! You were only aiming for my body anyway! I’ll give you everything, so hurry up and kill this bastard!’

Belium strained his body, expecting a great power to come in.

however.

[Princess Haeryung clicks her tongue while looking at the black blade.]

[His steps get farther and farther away.]

“what… … ?”

Verium opened her mouth with a dumbfounded expression.

The hand-carved armor, which had been forged tightly, lost manpower and fell down.

Awesome!

Xian’s sword mercilessly cut through such a guy.

Pain rises.

Even in the midst of that, Beriam couldn’t erase his blank expression.

Blood gushed out of his body like a fountain.

“uh… … Because… … .”

The light gradually fades from Verium’s eyes.

The doubt did not disappear from his eyes until the end.

Haeryung Palace. The ruler of the hell realm who is always looking for the incarnated body.

However, the power did not come down, even the power that was there was disappearing.

like a mirage.

Most of them were scattered in the atmosphere and crossed dimensions, but some were different.

[The Black Spirit is excited by the familiar energy!]

Ravi absorbed some of the scattered and disappearing energy.

That thought was carried over to Xian.

[The Black Spirit is delighted with the new ability.]

[ Sword spirit (劍靈) – Changhae (蒼海) ]

Xi’an’s eyes widened at the thought he heard.

new abilities? Like when you learned the black sword, did you mean that you learned something?

It was very nerve-wracking, but the first thing is to finish the work.

Xian looked down.

“Turn it off… … .”

Verium was frothing and passed out.

Seeing the guy’s condition, Xian clicked his tongue.

In the end, nothing came out of his mouth.

‘It can’t be helped.’

I didn’t expect him to open his mouth to the extent of threatening.

He wasn’t a torture technician, and he didn’t have any magic or skills to dig up information.

But that doesn’t mean there is no income.

‘Ravi.’

I knew that the power he was using was related to Ravi in some way.

The identity of this power is still unknown.

Still, one thing was certain.

The fact that as long as Ravi was there, the clues toward them were not cut off.

And this was a fact that even the family head did not know, only he knew.

– With my daughter.

He moved with a splash, picking up a bell floating on the surface.

prohibition.

I lifted it up to eye level and examined it.

The evil spirit that was felt in the ghoul before it was purified radiated.

His eyes sank.

“I need to meet the family head.”

It seemed that the time had come to go back to his hometown.

* * *

“Hey, go back!”

“Where are you going! I have nowhere else to go!”

“really!?”

At the top of the tower, Ian and Rayna were in considerable danger.

It was impossible to go down.

A ghoul climbed up the stairs, and the two of them were gradually pushed to the corner of the room.

“How’s the mana? Can you hold on? How’s your stamina?”

“no… … now that’s the limit you?”

“I am still fine.”

Looking at Ian, who clearly looked exhausted, Reina gave a strong answer.

But, as I said, it wasn’t really good.

Even if he could still hold on, it was clear that he would collapse sooner or later if he couldn’t come up with a plan.

The Holy Water has already run out, and this side’s stamina is only running out.

On the other hand, there was still no end in sight of the ghouls that were constantly climbing up.

‘I have to write something.’

Rayna glanced sideways at Ian.

looking sweaty. rough breathing. puffy eyes.

He was really at his limit.

And she, too, was in a state of not knowing when she would collapse.

‘What do we do?’

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked around.

But there were no useful tools at all. All that was there were ghouls full of feet.

Her eyes, which had been scanning the room, turned toward the window.

And below that, some people found what they saw.

“Ian! man! I must have come to save you!”

“really!?”

At those words, Ian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He gathered strength once more and raised the dagger.

Now, if you hold out a little longer… … .

“hey!”

Reina leaned out the window and waved her hand.

A few people on the first floor found her like that.

All of a sudden, I could see him pointing his finger and paying attention to this side.

Rayna’s head turned quickly.

‘Can you hold out until help comes?’

Ian’s physical strength reached its limit. own condition. How long it will take for the people at the bottom to break through the ghouls and rise to the top.

A little, no, it looked very dangerous.

‘huh?’

Then, a person caught her eye.

A student with white hair like a snow fairy.

She is a hot topic among class 4 freshmen like her.

rumor.

Seeing her, Reina made a decision.

“Ian.”

“why! Stop thinking and move your hands! I’m having a hard time alone!”

“Let’s jump.”

“… … what?”

Ian asked back as if he didn’t understand what he was talking about.

There is no time to explain. She wrapped one hand around Ian’s waist and put her foot on the window sill.

“What, what are you doing, man!”

Naturally, Ian was frightened.

Ignoring him, Reina shouted downward.

“Confession! Please accept us!”

“Hey man! Reina!”

“Break your teeth!”

then jumped off

With the strong wind hitting her face, she pulled Ian around her.

It was only natural that he decided to jump off.

“aaagh!”

Ian, who had suddenly committed suicide, screamed for him to leave.

The sound, of course, also resonated on the first floor.

Yuseol’s eyes shook with embarrassment as he looked at Reina, who jumped off after throwing a word to accept it.

Even so, she opened her mouth and reflexively conjured magic.

“… … Ice Wall.”

Even so, she reflexively conjured magic.

Ice type basic magic that creates a film of ice.

However, what Yuseol created was much thinner than a normal ice wall. Almost like a sheet of paper.

Chaeng-Geurang!

Raina and Ian’s new model broke it and fell.

But beneath it was another piece of ice.

below it and below it.

In an instant, dozens of layers of ice formed along the path of the two people’s fall.

Chae chae chae chae chae!

Breaking them, the two fell.

Because it is a thin film, it breaks easily.

And since it was easily broken, the two were less shocked.

Because the broken ice barrier received all of the impact energy.

After breaking dozens of ice barriers like that, eventually.

coo-!

A thick layer of dust rose.

Priests of the Jeonghwa Church, including Yuseol, hurriedly approached the place.

“Ouch… … .”

“Lee, Reina! Who are you going to kill!”

“Who dies? I did it because everything had a chance.”

Rayna and Ian rose from the dust.

The only injury from the fall was that one of Reina’s feet was sprained from falling as if wrapping Ian.

It was a minor injury for falling from such a high place.

Yu Seol let out a sigh of relief.

“Ian! Raina! You’re all right!”

Droned cried and rushed at the two.

* * *

Xian cleaned up the remaining seats.

There was nothing wrong with tidying up.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just do first aid so that Verium doesn’t die, and clean up the remaining ghouls.

I thought it would take some time to clean up the ghouls, but it didn’t.

Picking up the bell that Verium dropped, he didn’t attack.

“As expected, it was correct to control it with this.”

I thought it was an unusual item because I held this bell more precious than a weapon.

That’s why it was the first thing I kicked when attacking from the ceiling.

This must have been the item that could control the ghoul.

‘I don’t even know how to steer it, but what’s the point of not attacking?’

thanks made the job easier.

Even if you approached right in front of you, it was over as long as you stabbed the ghouls in the chest once in a while.

Like that, Xian was able to kill dozens of ghouls without much effort.

Of course, the magic stone that fell from there was a bonus.

‘There will be plenty of rewards.’

Combined with the amount of hunting in the morning, countless magic stones were piled up.

As much as the support money from the marquis family has been saved, money has not yet run out, but money is more than enough.

However, it was not difficult to organize the seats, but what was rather difficult was the way to come up to the ground.

“Did you stop this for nothing… … .”

Looking at the pile of stones that filled the aisle, Xian sighed.

The passage blocked in the sense of setting up a camp to drain himself, and in the sense of cutting off Berrium’s escape route.

That was blocking him now.

Going through this or carrying the restrained Verium, a rough journey was expected.

“I can’t help it.”

You can’t resent anyone. Because it was your own decision.

Moreover, even if he returned to that time, he would have blocked this passage.

It was an action to block every possibility.

Took.

He set down the tied Verium in a place where he could see it.

Then, after relaxing his shoulders for a moment, he began to clear away the rubble.

The work was very quick.

There was also the power of the power gauntlet he was wearing, and then.

“Ugh!”

After sucking energy from Verium, there was also Ravi who was running around like he was drunk.

Thanks to that strange aura, Ravi’s power increased greatly, and at the same time, the effect of his recovery ability was running fiercely.

Crisp.

Took. Tutuk.

Sian asked Ravi while skilfully clearing the road.

“Ravi, what is familiar energy?”

“Ugh?”

“The energy you just absorbed. Does it have anything to do with who you are or where you live?”

“Ugh.”

Ravi nodded while clinging to Xian’s shoulder.

smiling broadly innocently.

‘I can’t speak, so I don’t know the identity after all… … .’

However, this is the part that can be guessed for granted.

What Xian wants to know is the information after that. It was the same as Ravi’s true identity and where he lived.

Ravi couldn’t find out because he couldn’t speak.

‘The trial of a dream.’

Even the place where he met Ravi is the ordeal of a dream.

In the ordeal of being created based on one’s own image world.

Does that mean that this unknown energy and himself are also related to the depths of the image?

Xian sighed and shook his head.

I have no idea.

There is too little without information.

“Who are you?”

“Ugh?”

At Xian’s words, Ravi tilted his head.

He rubbed the bridge of Ravi’s nose—the part where he thought it might be—with a finger that was dusty from clearing debris from the hallway.

“Ooh!”

Ravi closed his eyes tightly and slapped the knife as if it was itching.

Sian put a smile on his lips at the meek cat-like appearance.

“What happened?”

It wasn’t long since they met, but Ravi was the second person he could open up to after Yeomno.

A unique existence that sees him as himself, not as an existence covered in Xian’s skin.

Let’s get to know this guy’s identity in the future.

‘For now, go up to the ground.’

His hand clearing the rubble quickened.

First thing is to go upstairs. I was worried about what happened to Ian.

after a while like that.

Carrying the stunned Verium, he came up to the ground.

It was on the first floor of the tower.

“uh?”

“There is a man over there!”

There, I saw a few people I hadn’t seen gathered.

Priests wearing priestly uniforms of the Purification Church.

and.

“draft!”

It was a few students, including Droned and Yuseol.

Seeing everyone safe, Xian let out a small sigh of relief.
