Raon went into a restaurant in front of the alley and ordered a sandwich.
-Okay… .
Ras grunted as if he was displeased.
-Aren’t the promises different?
‘The door is closed, so tell me what to do.’
The barbecue restaurant he wanted to go to had been open until dawn and was closed. As Grandeville is more lively at night than during the day, there were not many restaurants open in the morning, so there was no choice.
-I promised myself that I would never trust you, but I was deceived again!
Lars’ hands on the table were shaking.
-I will never believe anything you say again… .
‘After work, I’ll try all the delicious food here.’
-lie! It’s clearly a lie!
‘As you know, there isn’t much left.’
Raon raised his finger up. He pointed not to the dining room ceiling, but to the juju camp above it.
‘That witchcraft camp was opened last night. In other words, that spell will be activated today.’
The energy and vitality I felt before entering the restaurant last night are fragments of the power that burst out the moment the incantation camp was opened. Now that the spell has been opened, the spell will definitely be activated as soon as possible so that the energy contained within it is not wasted.
-In my opinion, that energy is not yet perfect. The bowl wasn’t completely filled.
‘that’s right. But the offering is here.’
Raon pointed at himself with a faint smile.
-You are the sacrifice?
‘okay. ‘They definitely know I’m here.’
Looking at the current situation, it is clear that white-blooded cultists are hiding in the black market as well. There was no way the White Blood Cult, who defeated the 7 Apostles and killed the 4 Apostles, and considered himself an enemy, would miss out on information about himself.
‘It will target me and attack soon. It won’t take long. ‘Just be patient.’
-Really?
Lars blinked, forgetting what he said 20 seconds ago.
‘then.’
-Okay… .
“The meal has been served.”
While Lars’ eyes were shining with suspicion, the clerk brought two sandwiches with eggs and ham.
“thank you.”
Since I was talking to Lars, I put the plate down on the table.
-What are you doing?
‘No, even if I really believe it this time… .’
-Close your mouth and just eat. Because the king’s belly skin was attached to his back!
‘under.’
Raon let out a sigh. I thought he was talking about food to eat later, but Lars seems to be in a hurry for the sandwich in front of him. I wondered if this was really the devil.
I chewed a bite of the sandwich with a nervous expression. The thick ham, cheese, and soft eggs mixed well with the crispy baked bread, filling my mouth with a savory yet rich taste.
‘It’s okay.’
-Wow, the market said it was a side dish, so this isn’t bad either.
Lars was happy with a sandwich and laughed brightly.
-Isn’t the bread crooked? Because the balance is lost. Put the ham between the bread properly!
“hmm… .”
Raon whetted his appetite while watching Ras happy.
‘I feel like I’m doing something terrible.’
I can’t believe I’m so passionate about just one sandwich, so I guess I’ll have to eat some real food after work this time.
I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to rent a top restaurant and have a dinner party for the entire Gwangpungdan group.
‘I should check that.’
Raon brought a reward that Lars was unable to properly check due to his rampage.
A title given to someone who interprets and solves a highly difficult spell on their own.
Ability: All abilities +5.
‘I’ve even increased my abilities.’
I thought it was just a title with a name, but it also had the effect of increasing abilities. I smiled at the unexpected joy.
The insight and concentration that allows you to see through the flow of all methods, such as examination, martial arts, and jusuljin, increases.
Lineage analysis does not provide additional abilities, but increases the ability to examine the effects of various lines. Since it is a growth type, if you raise it properly, it will be of much greater help than your abilities.
‘And my ability level has also risen.’
Lastly, all abilities up to 5 points. Giving such a reward right before a battle seemed like the Goddess of Victory was blessing me to win unconditionally.
-Keu… .
Lars, who was happy with the sandwich, bit his lip as he looked at the message.
-They give you that kind of reward just for interpreting a spell… .
‘If you think about it, it’s natural to give.’
Raon waved his hand.
‘The system gives rewards based on achievements. This time, I interpreted an enormous scale of magic, so it is only natural that I would receive a suitable reward.’
The system operates efficiently. Even if he was not uneducated, he had accomplished something worthy of being called an achievement, so he was only rewarded accordingly. The rewards obtained were also related to magic or magic.
-Keuuugh… .
Lars was at a loss as if he had nothing to say.
-When the King returns, I will destroy the system first! I will never use it again!
‘I see.’
Raon shrugged his shoulders. When Lars went back, all his work would be done, so it didn’t matter to him.
‘I’ve eaten everything, let’s go.’
He pushed the empty plate forward.
-What, what! Where are you going after just eating one sandwich?
‘To the kids.’
Raon put the food money on the table and stood up.
‘I need to tell you the plan to destroy the White Blood Church.’

Marta has been chasing Luna ever since she received instructions from Raon. As she said before, Luna was living in a shack with her two younger siblings.
Since they had given enough money, I thought they would be eating well today, but it seemed like everything had been taken away as repayment, so the children were filling their stomachs with hard, dry bread.
“sister. “You eat it too.”
Luna’s younger sister held out half of the bread. The younger brother also sniffed at her and handed her the bread he was eating.
“Because I ate outside. “Don’t worry, eat yourselves first.”
Luna smiled slightly and pushed the bread back to her younger siblings.
Marta frowned as she looked at Luna like that.
‘You got hit.’
Seeing the bruises on his face that I couldn’t see, it looked like he went to pay the debt and was robbed of more than the payment and was even beaten.
‘Damn things… .’
When I saw Luna clutching her stomach while looking at her younger siblings, I remembered my former self and felt a little feverish.
‘Shall I come with George?’
After all, it’s my money.
Watching the kids getting beaten up and stuffing their stomachs with dry bread fills me with heat. I was thinking about coming back with a suitable excuse.
“Are those kids?”
“Huh!”
While I was thinking about it, I heard Raon’s plain voice from behind me. She almost freaked out, but thanks to Raon covering her mouth, she could barely hold it in.
“You damn bastard! “Show your presence!”
“You can’t do that here.”
Raon smiled softly and used his magic to prevent the sound from escaping.
“That girl is Luna, right? “It’s not just her wounds, her whole body is full of blood.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Luna. She nodded, muttering that it was as expected.
“Well, I have blood all over my body? Do you see that?”
“I’m in pretty good shape right now.”
“hmm… .”
I don’t feel anything.
If I hadn’t seen Luna’s wounds, I wouldn’t have guessed that she had blood. From this distance, Raon, who felt the blood inside Luna’s body, looked like a monster.
“This isn’t the first time that child has buried a stone with his blood. Blood energy has accumulated in the body due to exposure to blood energy while burying stones. “It’s out of control, so it moves wildly.”
“Well, what happens then?”
“It’s okay now, but the moment the spell is activated, you’ll die.”
“You’re going to die?”
“okay. Currently, the magic circle is not activated in perfect condition. “They will first prey on those children who are nearby and have been exposed to a lot of blood.”
Raon gave an eerie look in his eyes and clenched his fists.
“Well, how? “You’re not going to leave it like this, are you?”
“Did you feel any affection during that time? “It’s different than usual.”
“It’s loud!”
Martha slapped her hand down. Before he entered Sieghardt, he was embarrassed to say that she seemed to be looking at him.
“It could be dangerous.”
“doesn’t care.”
It didn’t matter what kind of injury I had to suffer in order to break the White Blood Cult’s plan to use even those children as scapegoats.
“Nice eyes. “If you have that level of determination, I have to trust you.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“Soon that Tuss will call those kids. Then, you and Group 1 will follow the children one by one… .”

Denning Rose, head of the Black Market Gran Seville branch, walked through the blood-dried basement.
‘This place would have collapsed.’
When I was first assigned to Gran Seville, I personally saw that this road was blocked. However, the basement seen now was completely empty, and the floor was full of dried blood stains.
‘No, this road is falling apart and leaving Malchus…’ .’
Why am I here?
Although I was walking on my own, I had no idea why I was here or why I was walking down this hallway. It feels like my body and my head are playing separately. I couldn’t stop walking or sit down. The only option was to walk.
After walking for a while in the sticky basement where the blood had dried, I saw a round passage with red light leaking out. Still not knowing why, my foot crossed the passage.
A huge cavity where a soft light spreads like moonlight pouring in. A young handsome man was sitting in the center of a space where a mountain of disgusting corpses were piled up.
‘The author… .’
Denning Rose swallowed dry saliva. Purple hair and narrow eyes. And even the sword marks on her chest. As the head of the black market branch, I couldn’t help but notice this. They were the 7 apostles of the White Blood Church.
“This is my first time seeing you in person while living in the same city. Denning Rose.”
The 7 apostles stood up and smiled kindly.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose unconsciously knelt down and bowed her head. It is not because they are afraid of the 7 apostles or because they are afraid. His body reacted as if he had come here without realizing it.
“A woman who bends from the beginning is no good.”
The Seven Apostles smiled and approached and stood in front of Denning Rose’s head.
“Ugh… .”
Denning Rose gritted his teeth. He wanted to get up somehow, but his body wouldn’t move. My limbs felt heavy, like they had turned to stone.
“why? “Do you think your body can’t move as it wants?”
“What the hell have you done… .”
I forced myself to turn my tongue and speak. I felt like I was speaking through someone else’s mouth.
“well?”
As the Seven Apostles lifted their fingers with their chins crooked, Denning Rose lifted his head.
“Shall we tell you why you couldn’t find us?”
“I guess it’s because of Sejak… .”
Denning Rose let out a heavy breath as he looked at the seven apostles’ narrow eyes. When she saw that Raon’s information was missing, she was certain that Sejak was there.
‘That’s also an executive.’
Information about Raon was highly confidential, so non-executives could not even look it up. He had made a plan to find him, but the thought of not being able to carry it out and dying here made him feel uncomfortable.
“You’re not an idiot at all.”
The seven apostles nodded slowly, as if satisfied.
“Then who is it?”
He snapped his fingers, and five people wearing white robes walked out from the back of the cavity.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose widened her eyes. The five people who came out now were all black marketers, and one of them was an executive. It was Philip who ran an antique store that was directly connected to the black market branch, which I hoped was not a secret business.
“Philip, why are you… .”
Even when I asked questions, they didn’t answer. He just knelt down in front of the seven apostles and bowed his head.
“Do you know why I’m telling you this?”
“I guess they plan to kill me.”
“no.”
The Seven Apostles snorted and shook their heads.
“Because your body is no longer yours.”
“Well, then my current state is…” .”
“okay. “I’m controlling it.”
He twitched his fingers as if he was controlling a puppet.
“It’s not just you. All the bugs on the ground are in my hands. “If you order him to die, he will commit suicide by stabbing himself in the heart.”
“W-What on earth…?” .”
“Starting today, Gran Seville will become a huge fish farm. Those who are addicted to entertainment will sacrifice money and blood without even knowing that they will die. “It’s a spell for that.”
The seven apostles pointed to the ceiling. A huge blood vessel was wriggling in the soft light.
“don’t worry. “You must continue to live as the branch leader of Gran Seville.”
“eww… .”
Denning Rose’s lips trembled. It wasn’t like he was brainwashed, he just couldn’t resist, so he couldn’t even report to the black market headquarters. He may continue to live like this for the rest of his life under the rule of the seven apostles.
“Denning Rose.”
The Seven Apostles looked down into Denning Rose’s fear-filled eyes and smiled.
“Give me your first mission. Bring Raon Sieghardt. “He will be the final puzzle of this fish farm.”
* * *
Raon looked up after checking the body and auror whose abilities had increased at the back of the dorm. Dark sky. The sun had already set.
Even though it wasn’t even time for the sunset, the whole world was gloomy. It was a bizarre sky with no moon, stars, or clouds.
Jeez.
Light footsteps were heard from behind. When I turned my gaze, Denning Rose, the head of the black market branch, was walking towards me.
“Raon.”
Denning Rose came right up to the front and bowed her head politely.
“We caught the white blood cultist.”
“White blood Christians?”
“yes. “I’m going to be interrogating you. Can you come with me?”
“Of course.”
Raon nodded and put on the coat that was hanging on the wall.
“thank you.”
He followed Denning Rose, who smiled softly, toward the main street of Gran Seville.
Hwaaaah!
The distinctive buildings and colorful lights still radiated brilliant light, but there was one difference from yesterday.
human. There was not a single person on the street where so many people were passing by.
Denning Rose walked at the same stride and speed as if he had no interest.
After walking for a while, she stopped at the center of the street. Although it is the most crowded place in the city, there is not a single ant baby in sight right now.
“Raon.”
Denning Rose slowly turned around. A teardrop fell from under the black eye patch with a rose on it.
“sorry.”
She left those words and stepped back. At the same time, all the people hiding in the building came out.
Even at a rough count, more than a hundred people surrounded Raon with gray eyes shining.
After that, white-blooded cultists dressed in pure white robes held various weapons and raised their blood as if threatening.
Kurrrrrr.
When Raon felt the people’s murderous intent and frowned, a white puddle appeared next to Denning Rose.
The liquid, which wriggled like beer foam, slowly gushed out and took the shape of a human being. Purple hair and narrow eyes. The 7 Apostles, whom you cannot forget once you see them, smile with confidence.
“I guess I’ll have to say it’s been a while.”
The Seven Apostles shook off their coats and raised their pure white hands.
“Raon Sieghardt.”
“Seven apostles.”
Raon looked at the 7 apostles with his eyebrows slightly lowered.
“Was it your doing?”
“okay. It’s all my work. “I didn’t know you would come at such a timely time.”
He chuckled and spread his arms wide.
“How do you like my welcome?”
“Greetings… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes and grabbed the requiem sword strapped to his back.
“Ah, I’m not finished talking yet.”
The 7 apostles shook their heads leisurely.
“These are the ones. “I’m not a religious person.”
He lifted his finger and pointed to the sky.
Coo coo coo coo!
Even though the ring of fire was not in use, a huge dark cloud of blood was visible.
“Do you understand now?”
The 7 Apostles smiled even brighter as they looked at Raon’s embarrassed expression.
“They just unknowingly accepted blood energy due to the influence of that spell. “They are not our members, but ordinary bugs that live here.”
He grabbed Denning Rose next to him by her hair and lifted her up.
“…….”
Even though Denning Rose raised her head so high that her hair was pulled out, she did not moan once and her expression did not change.
“I know the utility of your dagger. You say you sing a song that brings death to a bloodthirsty cultist with your sword, right? “If you use it here, all those bugs will die too.”
The Seven Apostles pointed to the people who filled the road starting from Denning Rose.
“Raon… .”
As if the Seven Apostles had released it, a choked-up voice came from Denning Rose. A desperate voice coming from a calm expression. It was so bizarre that it gave me goosebumps.
“It’s the Seolhwa Sword Association. I heard that a hypocrite carries a sword for others. I wonder what it’s like for you. Will you kill innocent people for yourself? Or run away.”
He snapped his fingers as if offering a choice.
As soon as the sound rang, people took out various weapons from their arms and approached Raon. The gray filled eyes were eerily shiny.
“A cooperative company? “I never wanted a name like that.”
Raon resolutely drew his requiem sword.
Crumbling!
The red shining blade was revealed and the yogi’s cries like thunder echoed throughout the main street.
“Ugh… .”
“Wow!”
“Ugh… .”
Both the ordinary people with blood and the white-blooded believers who were guarding behind them all fell to the floor, spewing out blood.
“Khahahahaha!”
The Seven Apostles burst into laughter while clutching their foreheads.
“okay. I thought so! That’s you! This world doesn’t know the real you. “I am the only one who can understand your cruel and terrible true nature!”
He took off his robe and revealed the scar on his chest where he had been cut by the requiem sword.
“Now, let’s begin. Your blood… uh?”
The Seven Apostles looked at Denning Rose right next to them and their chins trembled. She was not dead, but was barely breathing.
It’s not just Denning Rose. All of the humans who poured their blood into them were alive and breathing, but only the believers who were guarding them were dead.
“What are you… .”
The seven apostles rolled their eyes as if they could not understand.
“You crossed the line.”
“what?”
“From now on, the White Blood Church will run away at the mere sight of my shadow.”
Raon raised the requiem sword and aimed it at the 7 Apostles. The blade, dyed the same color as the red eyes, glowed yo-yo.
“Because I will not spare a single blood demon in this land.”
