Lars looked at Raon and widened his round eyes.
-gold… light?
Raon’s eyes, which were as red as rubies, were now dyed gold. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. In that brief moment, the brilliant gold color disappeared and returned to its original red color.
“It’s golden?”
Raon looked at both hands and tilted his head.
-Your eyes flashed gold a little while ago.
“It’s golden.”
The ancestor’s flame is not red like his own, but a brilliant golden color. It was just an image in my head, but it may have been affected by the blood.
“Well, that could be true. however… .”
Raon glanced at Lars and clicked his tongue.
“Why does a guy who is called a king have such obscene eyes?”
-Hmm, your eyes glowed gold.
“The color of the eyes, the eyeballs… .”
Ras did not look like a demon lord not only when he was greedy for food, but also when he said these foul words. Just the way he spoke was classy and full of cheap talk.
-The King’s tone is fine!
Lars waved his hand, saying it was useless.
-You stupid bastard who eats everything to himself. Did you get it?
“no. “I didn’t get much.”
Raon let out a short breath and shook his head.
-Oh oh!
Lars’ crumpled face opened up like a stiff piece of paper. She seemed glad she didn’t get it.
-Look at that! If you torture the main king while eating Nadine bread all the time, how is it possible for things to turn out well? It’s not too late! If you pay tribute to this king, I will give you a spell that will make your life easier… .
“I’m not finished talking yet?”
-uh… ?
“It’s true that I didn’t get much. But I know where to get the rest.”
Raon smiled slightly as he smoothed out the sword marks left by his ancestors.
-What do you mean?
“This wasn’t the end.”
This was not the end of Yeomhae Mugyeol left behind by our ancestors. This thick trace was left because it was cut off in the middle due to the enemy’s sword attack.
‘So that helped.’
Our ancestors’ swordsmanship reached the sky, so if they had seen it displayed perfectly, they might have achieved nothing. He was able to rise to the level of martial arts because he saw the broken swordsmanship.
The time he was in a trance was so short that he was unable to achieve a great level of elevation, but his skills in swordsmanship, manga ball, and the ring of fire increased and he reached the end of the intermediate level of master.
‘If only there was a little opportunity… .’
You will be able to open the door to intermediate level and rise to master level.
And he knew where the key to break the wall was.
-A key?
“okay. I know where the marks of Yeomhae Immaculate Sword are engraved when properly opened. No, not just that… .”
Raon pushed the cartoon ball into the gap in the sword mark left by his ancestor. The heat blooming from the crack connected with other sword marks and spread throughout the dungeon.
“I can now know the geography of this dungeon and the locations of the people inside it.”
This dungeon was created when the ancestor and his enemy fought. In other words, since the sword marks of those two people are engraved from beginning to end, when using Manga Ball and the Ring of Fire, you can know where to go and who is where.
“To put it simply, I feel like I have become a magic map myself.”
-her!
Lars opened his mouth wide, as if it were absurd. The guy’s throat was visible.
-How could such a crazy thing happen…? .
“It’s thanks to having good ancestors.”
thank you Ancestor!
Raon bowed his head to the sword mark, expressed his gratitude to the first head of the family, and accepted the information transmitted through the ring of fire.
‘There are two large energy points at the bottom.’
It is not a person’s energy. One was a spirit-level monster, and the rest were like artifacts guarded by that monster.
‘There is a sword mark of Yeomhae Immaculate Heart right above it.’
I could feel the completed sword marks of the Sea of Flames right above the place where the energy of the monsters and artifacts could be felt. In the end, it means that you have to go there to get treasure and improve your level of martial arts.
‘and… .’
I could feel the energy of Matio, Cosini, and the shadows that I felt on the beach quite a bit above where the artifact was.
‘The numbers are small.’
Seeing that there were fewer shadows than I had seen on the beach, it seemed like there were assassins stationed as sentries here and there.
‘I would appreciate it if it were done this way.’
These are all guys that have to be dealt with anyway. If I shared it like I did now, I would only be grateful to myself.
-Hey, this is nonsense! Call your ancestors. Because King Bon will kick you in the side!
Lars gritted his teeth as if he was displeased with the situation that was going so ridiculously well.
“If I finish quickly and leave, you too can eat something delicious, right? Nadine, do you want some bread?”
Raon took out Nadine’s bread and waved it in front of Lars.
-Hey… .
Lars’ eyes trembled and his shoulders slumped, like a child who has seen a cane.
-Oh, I understand.
As if he realized what he had to do now, he stepped aside and straightened his back. I don’t know if that’s my waist.
-Well, is there anything you can help me with?
Lars’ voice became noticeably brighter.
‘Please stay still.’
Raon chuckled and opened the subspace pouch. She took out Dorian’s makeup kit and changed her eyes and hair black, painted her skin a pale color, and finally created fake scars under her eyes.
Chiiing.
I made a round ice cube with cold air and reflected it on my face. I saw the face of someone completely different from Raon Sieghardt.
‘It’s perfect.’
Has it been 20 years?
His face now was that of Raon, an assassin who lived in the shadow of Derus in his previous life.
‘It’s too wasteful to kill him normally.’
Matio is one of the masterminds behind everything that kidnapped, brainwashed, and educated him.
There were countless times when I was stabbed in the vitals by that guy’s knife, my flesh was bitten off by wild dogs that he let loose, and there was even a time when I was not given food and lived only on dirt-covered grass for a month.
‘I can never just let you go.’
I have no intention of killing Matio as easily as Lisbon. I plan to make you regret not only being alive by not only causing physical pain but also psychological shock.
Raon wore an eerie smile and the Jecheon Sword and Requiem Sword on his waist.
Gooooo!
Through the crack in the wall, I figured out the location of the nearest shadows.
‘Is it 20 minutes away?’
I thought I could get there in 5 minutes if I took a shortcut.
Raon decided on the direction of movement and ran along the passage created by his ancestors.
‘It’s easy.’
Thanks to the senses transmitted through the ring of fire, I was able to arrive at the place where the shadows stood guard without getting lost at all, like on a path I had traveled countless times.
Cheeeeee!
Raon used the cartoon ball to open the wall behind where the shadows were standing.
“uh… .”
“saliva… .”
The shadows reacted in that short period of time and tried to retreat, but the Jecheon Sword was faster.
Sigh!
A silver sparkling trail passed through the necks of the shadows.
“Off… .”
“Ahh… .”
The shadows let out a very short groan and then grabbed their necks and leaned back.
Percussion.
Raon caught the bodies of the two shadows and placed them on the wall to prevent them from being affected by Kosini’s warning spell.
-Tsk tsk.
Lars clicked his tongue and lifted his chin.
-Stupid guy. Everyone was caught.
The guy pointed at the corpses and frowned.
– In the King’s opinion, you don’t have the talent for assassination. Just swing your sword openly.
“Phew!”
Lars’ words made me laugh for the first time in a long time.
-Uther?
“I’m sorry, but I did it on purpose.”
-You made it sound like that on purpose?
“okay.”
Raon grinned and brushed off the blood on the Jecheon Sword. How many years have you lived as an assassin, but would you make a mistake like this? It was no problem to kill the shadows before they could react.
-Why?
“To let you know that I exist.”
The deliberate act of making a groan and instantly erasing the presence was merely a signal to let people know that a skilled warrior had cut down the shadow.
-… I really don’t know how your head works.
Lars shook his head as if he didn’t understand.
“The true purpose of assassination is not just to kill. “Real assassination produces the results I want.”
Raon looked down at the ground where he could feel Matio’s presence and quenched his appetite.
“Looking good.”
From now on, I will show you the real thing.
* * *
Matio looked up quietly. His eyes sank as cold as ice.
“Listen, don’t react.”
“What is it again?”
Cosini looked back and frowned.
“I’m so tired already, why bother… .”
“There is an intruder.”
“intruder?”
She looked up and narrowed her eyes.
“Nothing was affected by the border magic? As I said before, it makes no sense to break in here… .”
“The shadows placed in number 4 have disappeared. “I even heard a little moan.”
Mattio looked at Cosini and lowered his chin heavily.
“Those guys won’t leave that place without my orders, even if their limbs are cut off. “It means you were attacked by an intruder.”
Kosini’s assurance that there was no enemy did not calm me down, so I was concentrating my energy upward, when I felt two shadows fall with a weak groan.
It’s clear now. There were beings other than themselves in this dungeon.
“That’s also a strong one.”
It must have appeared from behind, but the shadows couldn’t even react and fell down, and judging from the fact that it didn’t even sound an alarm spell, it wasn’t an ordinary guy. If he wasn’t focused, he wouldn’t even be able to feel it.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Well, you’re better than me in that regard.”
Kosini bit her lip and nodded. Matio was many times superior in capturing human presence and sounds. Seeing that he was so confident, it was clear that someone was there.
“Then what should we do? Stop and wait?”
“no.”
Matio shook his head and pointed to the floor.
“You keep pretending like you don’t know anything. Maintain speed but reduce noise.”
“okay.”
Cosini nodded and twirled his fingers. The speed at which the ground was dug and compacted remained the same, but the sound coming from there was reduced by less than half.
“hmm… .”
Mattio followed Cosini down and lowered his eyebrows.
“Two more people suffered. The sound is quieter than before. “He is an expert at assassination.”
“It’s clear that nothing is affected by border magic.”
Kosini glanced back and twisted his mouth.
“So are you going to keep going like this? “Will the damage increase?”
“These are things that don’t matter if you die anyway. “It’s better to bring it in like this.”
“Bringing it in?”
“The intruders will know our numbers. “If we go down two by two while throwing bait, they will think it’s good and follow us.”
Matio nodded softly.
“The moment it comes out and hits you is right before you get the treasure. “As long as we are human, it must be a moment where we have no choice but to let our guard down.”
“hmm… .”
“Until then, we can pretend we don’t know anything and dig, and the moment it attacks, we just counterattack.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to chase after them and deal with them now?”
“It is far. If it runs away, it will be difficult to catch it. “This is someone you should never miss.”
Matio clenched his fist until it made a loud noise.
‘You have to catch it at all costs.’
This is the guy who tried to ruin Derus’ cause. We need to find out what kind of guy he is, who is behind him, and where he belongs, even if it means torturing him.
‘Two more people died.’
Movement speed is fast. He was a bold yet cool-headed guy. He was good at luring, not chasing.
‘but… .’
The easier it is to catch a guy like that.
Whether you are an assassin or a warrior, the more you overestimate your skills, the easier it is to kill. The guy behind him was just at that level.
Matio had a cool look in his eyes as he pictured the situation that would happen in his mind.
‘You will spit out things you don’t even know.’
Come as often as you like.
* * *
You must be thinking that you can come as many times as you want.
Raon smiled coldly as he felt the energy of Matio and Cosini gradually getting closer.
‘It’s a movement as expected.’
Matio thought he was following behind, so he pretended not to notice and moved forward, waving his tail to catch him. It was clear that he was not trying to simply kill them, but to capture them and extract information from them.
‘That’s a good idea.’
If only it wasn’t me.
I know what kind of person Matio is, what he is thinking, how he moves, and I also understand the structure of this dungeon.
Mattio may have thought he had the advantage, but this was a fight in which he had an overwhelming advantage.
Raon smiled slightly and lightly relaxed his fingers.
‘Now what I have to do is…’ .’
Killing the sight.
I had to kill my presence even more than if I had spent four days behind the shadows.
Goooooh.
Raon resonated all the rings of fire. Instead of heightening its presence as usual, it suppressed it to the extreme and hid itself.
Like small stones on the floor, like water drops falling from the ceiling. I replaced myself with a piece of mana that resided in this dungeon.
Wooooow!
I can feel the vibration of Kosini digging into the ground. She felt like her mana was touching her shoulders.
Raon bit his lip.
‘Not yet.’
It’s clear that he’s close, but even an injured Matio can avoid it now. You have to wait a little longer.
‘Whoa.’
Even the emotions beyond the body calmed down. I even erased the resentment, anger, and life of my past life. She painted her body and mind white like a newborn child.
Wooooow.
After passing through Cosini’s magic, the vibrations from Mattio and the shadows’ footsteps tickled my feet. Through that flow, the movements of Matio and the shadows are pictured in my head. All of their senses were pointing backwards and upwards.
‘now!’
Raon bit his molars and kicked the ground. The exit point is neither the front nor the back, but the left wall. Taehwabo, who had grown even more, pushed off the wall and reached behind Matio in a split second.
Jjiiiing!
