chapter 28
The best weapon in the setup (4)
a few minutes ago.
The men were waiting by the riverside for orders from their captain, Isaac.
It seemed that Isaac already knew where the little ones would come from.
One of the men recalled Isek talking to someone suspicious in a black robe.
But soon after, he completely forgot the sight in his memory, as if he had been sprayed with pure white paint.
‘If you find the little ones, be sure to tell me first.’
The men recalled Isaac’s orders.
If the men had faithfully obeyed Isaac’s orders, they might have been safer, at least for a little while.
However, the order was not followed.
After a while, boys and girls appeared.
Three girls who are so beautiful that they take the viewer’s mind away for a moment.
And there was one boy who had a beautiful appearance with a thin body and exceptionally white skin.
That boy must be a wizard, but the boy with the sickly appearance looked much weaker than boys his age.
‘If you can’t use magic, a kid like that is nothing. Can I just grab it and take it?’
So, they forgot what Isaac had told them to do and rushed forward.
they were arrogant
“You can feed it with stone fists.”
Until a stone was lodged in the face with the boy’s calm voice.
“Ouch!”
“Ugh…!”
Small and large stones were pierced innumerably into the face and body.
I couldn’t even breathe because of the pain that reverberated through my whole body every time a stone was inserted.
“Now..Wait…! Ha, what can I say…”
In the end, they were able to shout this one word only after they were beaten to the point of being bruised.
It was because he thought that the boy might stop if he conveyed the captain’s words.
However, the boy cracked his brain with a cruel laugh.
“I should have done it to you guys in the past.”
And a fairly large stone was hit hard in the abdomen.
“Time.. time..! 100 million!!”
Each time they were hit by stones flying out of the air, the men begged the boy for a moment.
However, the boy shot the stone with nonchalant eyes as if he couldn’t hear such a cry.
The men felt a chilling fear at the sight of such a boy.
‘I really intend to kill him!’
It was unbelievable that the eyes of a 10-year-old boy could be seen in that gaze.
However, with his legs frozen in fear and his body already battered by stones, he could not properly escape from the spot.
Instead, I crouched down and hoped that the stones would deflect even a little bit, but unfortunately, the stones hit the men’s bodies with precision.
And after a while, when all the men are down.
“There are no guys standing anymore.”
The boy came up and kicked the still breathing man in the head.
“Now, since it seems to have been sorted out, tell me. what is that to say And then I’ll make it easy for you.”
The man felt chills at the boy’s emotionless voice and shivered.
Comfortable probably not really comfortable.
The future was dark.

“So, your captain told you to pinpoint a specific location and keep an eye on it?”
“Yes!, that, yes!”
“And the words I was told to convey are cursed dolls? Would you curse the girl with that? In other words, Isaac is a survivor of the Rad clan?”
“Yes Yes. you’re right!”
I let out a small sigh at the man’s words.
Speaking of cursed dolls, it was a curse that took away a person’s life by using a wooden doll that looked exactly like the target to curse.
This powerful curse could only be used by the Rad clan, and was hunted by those who believed in various gods because of the curse’s strength and wickedness.
This explains why Isaac hates religion.
but…
A cursed doll?
You mean that guy named Isaac can actually use it?
isn’t that a lie?
Tring!
[Find the added settings.
Keyword: red snake (3/3)
Details: Isaac’s Birth and Curse Doll]
Tring!
[The special ability of the seeker of the setting is slightly increased.]
And in fact, the system window was proving that this was true.
By the way…
‘Is this strange?’
weird.
No matter how you think about it, it was strange.
The person named Isaac is a kind of minor role without even a single setting keyword.
In other words, he was by no means an existence worthy of grandiose settings such as being the former owner of the demonic sword, Rukeld, or having a secret birth.
In addition, the setting of a cursed doll was a background setting that did not appear in the original work and only appeared in announcements.
That’s not all.
How can I pick out the places I need to go in the future and stick to them?
It is as if someone artificially gave a new setting and even instructed the direction.
‘Could it be that the world is moving?’
I have greatly changed the development of this world.
That may have started changing the laws of the world.
The problem was that I still didn’t know what it was, but…
‘There are cases like this.’
I frowned.
“Where is the hideout? Would you have asked me to come?”
“Yes, yes.”
that’s not natural
Isaac was now immersed in his new power.
Even if I, a wizard, invaded my hideout, I would have the confidence that I would never lose.
When the time is right, he must be thinking of using a cursed doll to warn Elin by making her suffer.
The man hardened his face and explained the location of the hideout.
After hearing the explanation, I nodded.
“You have nothing to say now?”
“yes. Uh, but wait…!”
It was heartbreaking to see the man struggling to survive even a little longer.
But you have to pay the penalty.
that’s what a person is
“Elina. don’t look.”
The moment Ellin embraced Elina, I mercilessly drove a stone into the man’s face.
The man hung his head.
“You did too much!”
I said coldly to the protesting Elina.
“I am just doing what I have to do.”
For you.
I didn’t gossip.
“too bad.”
Elin also helped with a word, but Elin wasn’t serious.
Tring!
[Satisfied Elin’s hypocrisy. (2/1000)
Get 50 Plot Points!]
“still…”
“This was self-defense. I wasn’t the first to attack, the other side attacked first. Is it wrong?”
“No, that’s right, but…”
Elina blushed.
I’ve thought about it before, but Elina probably isn’t good at arguing for a saint.
“Voodoo Doll?”
Nias was restless, hesitating whether to speak or not.
The cursed doll, a curse that can damage a target from a very long distance, was hidden from the public because of its danger.
Of course, Nias, the demon lord, knew about the cursed doll, but he seemed to want to tell me because he thought I wouldn’t know.
I can’t find out that I’m the Demon King, so I’ll try to keep it as secret as possible.
However, if it was the demon king in the previous life, the current Nias is quite an idiot.
Although he sometimes gets his head right… not in this situation.
‘It’s cute, but.’
I smiled faintly.
“don’t worry.”
Nias, who was restless, quickly lost his anxious expression at my words.
At that word, Nias nodded with confidence.
“yes! I’m not worried! Ehehe.”
“Are you stupid? Do not laugh.”
“I am not an idiot!”
Nias protested, but I just laughed and let it go.
I moderately turned over the system window that said that Nias’s masochistic tendencies had risen. As expected, this situation of being teased in front of others still seems to work.
But this is not the time to be carefree.
Now that this has happened, Elin is in danger.
Dolls that look exactly like the subject, things that require parts of the subject’s body tissues such as hair, etc.
It was just difficult to meet the conditions, but the cursed doll was a powerful curse that could kill anyone anywhere once it was prepared.
That is why it was hunted by many people.
When you want to act right away.
“Aww…!”
For some reason, Elina crouched down clutching her chest.
“Elina?!”
“Miss Elina!”
Elin and Nias looked at Elina’s condition in a panic.
Elina was struggling to breathe, twisting her body.
Tears dripped from Elina’s eyes from how painful it was.
The hand that tightly gripped her chest was white.
I held Elina’s hand tightly.
Due to Elina’s painful breathing and rough pulse, it seems that the pain Elin’s body must be feeling is vividly conveyed.
I noticed right away.
The curse of the cursed doll was on Elina.
‘But why, Elin and not Elina? …Wait, could this be intentional?’
Their appearance is almost the same, so they should have been able to activate the curse sufficiently with the sculpted doll they had.
Isaac only wanted Elin.
So, to Isaac, Elina didn’t care if she died at any time.
This was a warning from Isaac.
A warning that if you don’t bring Elin right away, you can kill Elin at any time.
I shuddered with anger.
Guys, they get me wrong.
You think it’s too easy
It was the moment when one more crime was added to the guys.
Seeing Elina in pain, I found a way.
The Plot Shop did not have the ability to heal others or block curses.
It was the plot shop that was hard on recovery items to restore myself.
‘Then I have no choice but to fill in the settings.’
Now that you’ve decided, you need to think about what settings to fill in next.
The simplest thing is to add settings to iExec, but…
‘It’s already full.’
iExec has no keyword entries.
Sounds like I don’t have anything to set up.
That is, what I need to set…
I opened the settings window and entered the Cursed Dolls section.
