Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
The ten apostles unleashed a terrifying flash of blood and tore through hundreds of magic at once.
Although his body was full of wounds here and there, his eyes were burning with a darker madness than before.
“Merlin!”
“It’s too late. “The date is already over.”
Merlin grinned while holding the spirit gem with Raon sealed in it.
“This crazy bitch until the end!”
The ten apostles gritted their teeth and stretched out their white spears. A spear attack filled with enormous blood poured down on Merlin’s head.
“That’s all for today.”
When Merlin snapped his fingers, her entire body shimmered and faded like a constellation.
“You can’t run away!”
“A persistent man is not popular.”
“shut up!”
The 10 apostles kicked the air and charged together directly. A series of terrifying explosions erupted from underground.
“Ugh!”
Dorian stood up, his hands shaking. He ran across the collapsing ground, hitting his immobile legs with his fists.
‘Shit!’
I hoped this wouldn’t happen… .
I have been closest to Raon since I was a trainee, so I know him better than anyone else. Raon seems to wisely overcome crises, but he always overdoes things.
Because I was a fool who thought about other people more than my own life, I suppressed my trembling and hid, but the worst thing happened.
‘Lord Budan… .’
Even when Raon was sealed in Merlin’s box, he worried about him and gave him a look telling him to run away. Because he was that kind of man, he wanted to help even if it meant giving up his life, but there was nothing he could do.
‘This is the best.’
If you look through all the stomach bags, you might find a device that can block that box, but it’s meaningless right now. Even if Raon comes back, I can’t escape from those two.
For now, it was best to just think about how to find Raon again.
“Merlin!”
“Huh!”
Dorian gulped dryly as he heard the ten apostles’ cries coming from the other side of the cave.
If it weren’t for this urgent situation, it was an eerie sound that made me want to sit down and cry.
‘I have to run away.’
If you get caught by that monster now, it’s not a matter of dying, but the possibility of finding Raon again disappears. Because I can’t tell you ‘that’.
‘ASAP… ah!’
Dorian stopped as he tried to run as far away from the Ten Apostles as possible.
‘You told me not to move at a time like this…’ .’
I remembered what Raon told me when I was training at Bukmang Mountain not long ago.
[When you want to escape from a master, it is better to hide than to run. Even if you become a master, it’s not a problem to catch your presence and catch up. On the other hand, if you hide and control your breathing well, your chances of survival are quite high.]
[Breath control?]
[okay. If it’s a mountain, you can move like a wild animal, and if it’s a place with a lot of people, you can move like an ordinary person. The most important thing is to relax. If you take it easy and kill everyone in sight, it won’t be easy to find you.]
I held my breath as I remembered the concentration training I had done with Raon. Like a dead person. No, he hid himself under the wall, breathing very slowly and thinly, like a dying person.
‘That’s right.’
The 10 apostles were called grand masters. He was likely to follow him even if he left the city, so it was much better for him to pretend to be dead and hide.
Did you know that something like this would happen? The training I thought was useless was saving my life. I felt grateful to him again.
‘Raon always thought about the future.’
just in case… .
He took a small glass bottle filled with red liquid from his stomach pocket, put it inside his sleeve, covered his mouth, and leaned in a little more.
Quang! Quaaaaaaaaa!
The sound of the ten enraged apostles smashing things here and there was heard. The roar that lasted for a long time died down, and the energy of the ten apostles, who had been spreading madness, dispersed like dust.
“Whoa… .”
Dorian woke up 30 minutes later. He’s still shaking. I guess I was overdoing it on a cowardly subject, but my pounding heart couldn’t calm down at all.
“I’m dying.”
Because I couldn’t breathe properly, I grabbed my throbbing head and moved towards where the Gwangpungdan was.
Thinking about what might happen, I turned around and headed out of the city.
Just as I was about to leave the city, a little over thirty people were coming in. There were some people I couldn’t see, but most of them were Gwangpungdan.
“Captains!”
Dorian ran to Burren, holding back the tears that were threatening to come out.
“You bastard!”
“You fat guy! “Where have you been!”
Burren and Marta came running, frowning. Although they were angry, their eyes were full of worry.
“Ugh!”
Dorian looked into Gwangpungdan’s eyes and bit his lip.
“Ra-on… .”
I was pounding my chest and letting out a breath that felt congested.
“Raon has been kidnapped.”
“…….”
“Fuck… .”
Buren and Marta cast their eyes to the floor and clenched their fists.
“Damn it!”
“I guess it was like that… .”
“The guy who fought with the 10 apostles. You wore the mask of an old woman. “It must have been Merlin, who was targeting the tyrant.”
It seems that the Gwangpungdan also expected the outcome to some extent after seeing the 10 Apostles and Merlin fighting.
“You idiot! “What are you going to do between the two Grand Masters?”
Marta slammed her fist on the floor. Instead of being an auror, her fist filled with her emotions touched everyone’s hearts.
“He sacrificed himself again to save us.”
Buren gritted his teeth. He clenched his fists until they bled and lowered his head.
“ah… ah… .”
Runaan sat down and trembled with her folded hands. She seemed completely panicked.
“Which side were you kidnapped by?”
“This is Merlin of Eden. I was dragged into a strange box… .”
Dorian told everyone about the situation he had personally seen.
“Ha, of course, space movement… .”
“Then it’s not impossible to find.”
“no! If you move quickly… .”
“The 10 apostles missed it. A wizard like Merlin leaves no traces when he moves through space… .”
“Raon… .”
“Shit!”
Gwangpungdan’s complexion turned pale. Everyone stuttered with their eyes wide open, as if they were in a trance.
“Ugh… .”
“shit!”
“Raon. That damn bastard… .”
Weeping sounds were also heard here and there.
“There is a way to find the car.”
The Gwangpungdan’s eyes sparkled brightly at Dorian’s cracked voice.
“method? “What is the method?”
Runaan, who had been sitting down, got up like a roly-poly and grabbed Dorian’s head.
“Dorian!”
“Speak quickly! hurry!”
“Open your mouth first!”
All of the frenzy troupes rushed forward and grabbed Dorian by the collar, shoulders, and arms.
“Oh, leave it alone!”
Dorian stepped back and took out a small vial containing red liquid from his pocket.
“glass bottle?”
“what is that?”
“It’s a liquid made from crushed snaketail lily.”
He opened the lid of the glass bottle. A very faint scent tickled the tip of his nose.
“Continental pursuit!”
A young woman wearing a rose eye patch who was caught between the windpipe screamed.
“You were spraying continental incense!”
“uh? this person is… .”
Dorian tilted his head because it was his first time seeing him.
“This is Denning Rose, head of the Black Market branch. “Let me explain first.”
“Ah, as he said, this is called Continental Tracking Incense. It is a tracking liquid that, once sprayed, is said to be able to smell from Sieghart in the north to the Robert family in the south.”
“Well, then you… .”
“no way!”
“yes. Raon sprayed this liquid before entering the box.”
Dorian nodded with a slight smile.
“Dorian.”
“You bastard!”
“Why is this coward?”
Runaan, Buren, and Marta embraced Dorian, and the Frenzy also smiled with hope.
“But it barely smells? “Can you chase me?”
“Strong odors disappear quickly. “You need a special artifact to smell this scent.”
Dorian nodded and took out a ring from his stomach pocket. It was an artifact with a red gem in the center.
“When you wear this ring, you can smell the snaketail scarf. In other words, we can find Master Raon wherever he is… .”
“I see.”
A chilling voice came from behind me, sending a chill down my spine.
The images of the 10 apostles were reflected in the pupils of Gwangpungdan, filled with astonishment.
“Huh!”
Dorian quickly put the incense stick and the ring into his stomach pocket. He immediately tried to run away, but his body started to stiffen starting from his neck. He quickly dusted off his sleeves before his hands stopped moving.
“You must come with me.”
The 10 apostles grabbed Dorian by the neck as he stood still like a statue.
“no!”
“die!”
The first to react were Runan and Marta. The two immediately drew their swords and rushed towards the 10 apostles.
Boom!
The ten apostles waved their hands. The blood that bloomed from the lightly struck hand blade aimed at the hearts of the two people.
“You bastard!”
“Sigh!”
Runaan created a wall of frost in front of Marta, who looked away.
Whoa!
The fierce blood broke the frost wall mercilessly, and Runaan was thrown back, coughing up blood.
“Ugh!”
Marta went berserk when she saw Runaan’s eyes telling her to keep going. She exploded all the auras she had and slashed down with her sword.
Teuong!
The ten apostles snapped their fingers. A line of blood extending from her index finger broke Martha’s sword and pierced her shoulder.
“statement! Stop it even if it kills you!”
Burren and the Gwangpungdan rushed in, chewing their tongues. Everyone prepared to die and unfolded the season they had learned to the extreme.
“You’re being annoying.”
The ten apostles stretched out their hands. The wave of blood that arose from his grasp instantly shattered the frenzy. The prosecutors all fell to the floor, vomiting blood.
“Ugh… .”
Martha bit her lip and raised her sword, as if not even thinking about the wound. Her tattered, water-dropped necklace swayed between her torn uniform.
“You, I will kill you! “I can’t give you Raon or Dorian!”
She screamed and stretched out her sword.
Wow.
The ten apostles narrowed their eyes as they looked at her necklace while holding onto Martha’s weakly falling sword.
“I see. “At that time.”
“Huh… .”
He clicked his tongue briefly and snapped his fingers. Marta rolled around on the floor like a doll whose strings had fallen.
“Forget Raon and this guy.”
When the 10 apostles shook their hands, red puddles appeared at their feet.
“Because that’s how you live.”
Before he could finish his words, he and Dorian sank into the pool.
“Aaaahhh!”
Runaan screamed and crawled over, pounding the ground where the 10 Apostles had disappeared with his bare hands. It didn’t stop even though his hands were bleeding and his flesh was being torn apart.
“Ugh… .”
Buren clung to Runaan’s side, wiping the blood flowing from his mouth. He, too, started digging on the floor as if he had lost his mind.
“Dorian… .”
“Dorian!”
“You bastards!”
Except for Martha, who fainted, the other swordsmen of the Gwangpungdan also stood next to him and struck and knocked on the ground.
Denning Rose watched them hit the ground and widened his eyes when he saw a glass bottle rolling from the right.
“wait a minute!”
She picked up the glass bottle and called everyone.
“With this you can find him!”
“B-but the ring… .”
“We also use continental tracking scent. “With just this scent, you can create a tracking artifact!”
I don’t know why the Continent Chujonghyang that fell into the hands of the 10 Apostles is here, but if I had this, I could easily trace it.
“I will find it no matter what.”
Denning Rose’s outer eye flashed with vivid light.
“In the name of the fourth successor to the black market.”
* * *
Dorian rolled his eyes and swallowed dry saliva.
‘here is… .’
A pure white room with no dust, a red pillar that looks like it was painted with blood, and even a noble-looking platform built on top of it. Even I, who was clueless, seemed to know who the owner of this room was.
The ten apostles stood in the center of the room and knelt down.
“See you, Master.”
‘Sigh!’
The ominous thought was certainly not wrong. There is only one person whom Sado calls Master. The owner of this bizarre room was a white-blooded cult leader whom I never wanted to meet in my life.
Wow.
A shadow with the curves of a woman appeared behind the red feet that covered the podium.
Although there was clearly no force acting, her presence suddenly appeared as if she had risen from the ground.
‘This… .’
My paralyzed chin seems to be trembling. A mystery that was different from Glenn’s spirit spread throughout the room.
I was shocked that he was able to create this kind of atmosphere even though he was covering his appearance with red feet.
“The seventh has returned to the arms of the blood god.”
A warm voice came out softly from inside my feet. It seemed like joy and sadness, affection and contempt all combined in one place.
“sorry.”
The ten apostles closed their eyes and bowed their heads.
“Is there something to be sorry about? That kid is just ugly. “The Blood God will embrace such a child, so don’t worry about it.”
The white blood cult leader’s voice was filled with laughter. I couldn’t understand why he was smiling even though his student was dead. It was more scary.
“What about Raon Sieghardt?”
“Whoa, when I found him… .”
The ten apostles opened their eyes and told them what had happened in Gran Seville.
“Merlin. It’s Merlin. “You’re disturbing me again.”
The white blood cult leader’s voice was still friendly, but a slight irritation and anger seeped into it.
“So who is that kid?”
“I sprayed Raon with continental tracking incense, and they said there was an artifact that could be traced, so I brought him here.”
“Artifact?”
“yes. “It’s in my stomach pocket and I can’t get it out.”
The Ten Apostles frowned as they looked at Dorian’s stomach pouch.
“It appears to be a special artifact.”
“That’s fun.”
As the white-blooded leader gently gestured from within his feet, Dorian’s body floated. He was dragged to the podium as if by his leash.
‘Heeeeeek!’
Dorian screamed inwardly. My heart was so tight that it felt like I would stop breathing at any moment.
‘Boo, I’m sure I’ll die. still… .’
You must not hand over the ring.
Even considering the favors I have received from Raon so far, I must never hand over the ring. Since I left behind the tracking incense in my sleeve, I will be able to make other tracking artifacts.
Everyone would save Raon, so he had to endure here.
Wow!
Dorian landed in front of the platform as gently as he had risen. The mana circuit that was blocked by the 10 apostles seemed to have been opened, and the limbs began to move.
“If you kill me, the pockets won’t open! Never a ring… .”
“You must have had a hard time.”
“uh… ?”
I expected the torture to start right away, but only a soft voice came out from the white blood cult leader.
“I can’t believe you were hiding in such a battlefield to help your master, Jangha.”
A hand stretched out from within the red paw. A hand so white and beautiful that it gave me goosebumps stroked my dust-filled head. My chin trembled from the warmth and softness.
“I know how hard you worked.”
“Ugh, I guess so… ah!”
As I raised my head to say it was no use, I came face to face with the black eyes inside the small, open paw. The moment she saw the eyes that seemed to capture the darkness as they were, her mind went blank.
“If things continue like this, your master’s soul will become food for monsters worse than animals.”
“that… .
“Give me the ring.”
The white-blooded leader stretched out the hand that had been stroking Dorian’s head.
“I will find your master and help you climb higher.”
“uh… .”
Dorian nodded with blank eyes and took out a ring with a red gem from his stomach pocket and presented it to the White Blood Cult leader.
“Thank you.”
Dorian fell to the side at the white blood cult leader’s gesture.
“It seems like the path to finding a new disciple would be quite interesting.”
She smiled slightly as she looked at the red shining ring.
“I’ll be able to see the faces I’ve missed for the first time in a long time.”
* * *
Chad, the non-banquet owner, headed towards the throne room with more urgency than ever. Normally she would have knocked and waited, but she opened the door and went right inside.
“Non-banquet owner?
“Chad?”
Sheryl, who was holding Rimmer’s collar, and Roen, who was smiling behind her, tilted their heads.
“oh! “Are you here to save me?”
Rimmer waved his hand with a black eye.
“sorry! “It’s urgent!”
Chad didn’t answer the three, but knelt in the center where Glenn was visible.
“This is an urgent report from the Gran Seville black market. Wow, it is said that the Stormtrooper was kidnapped by Merlin of Eden!”
Chad spoke with his lips quivering. He nervously raised his head, not knowing what the reaction would be.
Gooooooo!
Rimmer’s eyes, filled with mischief, suddenly flashed like a ghost, Sheryl’s eyes revealed a deep murderous intent, and the air around Roen became as cold as ice.
“Details.”
Glenn’s expression did not change. Her face was as cold as when I first saw her, but she was even more fearful.
“Tell me in detail.”
“Oh, yes. Gwangpungbudanju learned that a military camp had been set up throughout Gran Seville… .”
Chad summarized Denning Rose’s letter as briefly as possible.
“Eden. These scumbags… .”
“Because I leave it alone. Do you think heaven and earth are your home?”
“It looks like I kept him alive too long.”
The energy waves created by Rimmer, Cheryl, and Roen become stronger. The anger of the three people was shaking the throne room.
“Chad.”
“Yes, yes… .”
Glenn’s calm voice made me feel goosebumps all over my body. I could sense more anger than the three people in his calm voice.
“What was Pyoseok’s reaction to Raon?”
“I looked for it, and it responded in the air and the sea. “It seems like we are in a place where space and time are distorted.”
The pyroxene necklace that Glenn gave Raon was a detector that could track the location anywhere on the continent, but the signal was not picked up properly. It felt like I was in a very high-level barrier.
“… “Then you can’t find it?”
“no.”
Chad shook his head quickly.
“What we need now is a physical location, and it is said that this was solved with the continental tracking scent sown by a child named Dorian. You can find it by using both the necklace and the follower incense. “It looks like they will be active in the black market as well, so it won’t take much time.”
One of the heirs of the black market said that he would begin the search as soon as he created the Chu Jong-hyang artifact. Since you’re an expert at finding people and things, you’ll definitely be able to find them.
“Cheryl. Summon all the executives within the family. Loen. “Summon the heads of the vassals.”
“yes!”
“yes.”
The two left the throne room with eerie looks in their eyes.
“Chad. We must mobilize all the power of Dae and Dan to understand the movements of Eden and the White Blood Bridge. ASAP.”
“Are you talking about white blood Christians?”
“The White Blood Church has a spell that bends the laws of the world. “If there is a ring that follows Chu Jong-hyang, there is a high possibility of discovering Ra-on’s location.”
“ah… .”
“And the kidnapped kid there is also Sieghart.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Chad stood up, clenching his fists. His heart pounded wildly as he heard words of pride for his family called Sieghardt.
“Rimer, you help Chad.”
“…….”
Rimmer stood behind Chad without answering. His mood, which was always filled with a sly smile, became as cool as the north wind.
“and… .”
“I will not tell this to the annex.”
Rimmer bowed his head to Glenn and left the throne room, taking Chad with him.
“Whoa… .”
Glenn bit his lip and gripped the throne handle. She squeezed so hard that the red iron crumbled into dust.
“Eden, white blood religion.”
His eyes were shining blood red.
“I’ll erase everything.”
No matter where you are in the world.
* * *
“Umm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the ceiling that seemed to be made of logs.
‘here is… .’
I got a slight headache and remembered being caught by something called a spirit jade used by Merlin.
‘I never thought I would even use legendary level consumables.’
A precious legendary artifact. Among them, I think I underestimated the crazy bitch too much for using consumables on herself that disappear after one use.
“hmm… .”
I got up. When I lifted off her downy soft blanket, I saw pure white clothes without a trace of dust. It seemed like her Merlin had been changed.
‘There is a necklace. uh? Kendo… ?’
Not only the pyroxene necklace, but also a neatly folded uniform, a requiem sword, and a sacrificial sword were left at the bedside.
‘what?’
Are you sure you kidnapped me?
Aside from the uniform and necklace, I didn’t understand why the Requiem Sword and the Requiem Sword were left behind.
-Are you awake now?
Lars put his face in a posture to take notes.
-Now, how are you going to move next? Give this king a lesson.
The guy gave an interesting smile, as if he thought he was planning everything now.
‘It’s a plan… .’
Raon grabbed the Jecheon Sword and quenched his appetite.
‘If you think about it, it’s not bad.’
While listening to the conversation between Merlin and the Ten Apostles, I thought that if I was going to be kidnapped, Eden would be much better than the White Blood Cult.
‘It was said that the spirit of a strong monster resides in the helmet.’
Since I had been fighting against a self-proclaimed demon lord since I was young, I was confident that I would not lose to whoever the opponent was in the helmet.
‘There is a good chance of escape.’
Rather than just escaping from this place, I might be able to return stronger.
‘As expected, Lass gives generously… uh?’
It was when Raon smiled while holding the requiem sword. I felt a sharp gaze behind my back.
Ugh!
At the same time as the requiem sword’s warning, he turned around and drew his sword.
Whoops!
A helmet of pure white bones was floating above the pitch black long sword that blocked the requiem sword. The golden flames flashing in the empty eyeballs gave off the scent of death.
“Death Knight’s Helmet… .”
