After I Stopped Sponsoring, the Female Leads Began Obsessing Over Me chapter 205

205 – Main Villain (4)

“Let’s move a little faster.”

I led the children quickly down the narrow stone passage.

Tap, thud!

At the same time.

My only thoughts were focused on one word.

[ Shadow ]

He is an official of the Shaleam Church who mainly uses shadows.

‘Even in Panta

Just a few traces and hints were picked up.

Even those are fragmentary hints related to abilities.

Of course, we know the profiles of executives to some extent, but we are unable to match them.

It is necessary to enter with utmost caution.

“… Here!”

Elena, who was ahead, pointed to a place.

I followed her gaze and found an iron door.

This is probably the entrance to the huge empty space beneath the academy.

“Everyone, get ready.”

This place is actually no different from the boss room of a dungeon.

No. It might be more hellish than that.

Because those are the executives of Shaleam Church.

— Kwaaang!

I forced open the iron door.

A chilling wind pours out at the same time.

The atmosphere inside was closer to a cave than an artificial building.

We ran quickly while being cautious of our surroundings.

“Ahh…!”

Elena, who was ahead, stopped.

A huge rock pile was blocking us.

A tall pile of stones that looks like a 4-story building.

Anyone can see that it is a structure that appears to have been artificially created to block the road.

“I think we need to find another way. It’s too vertical and too high to go over.”

Silvia looked around the wall and said.

She tilted her head back after him.

A faint red light was flowing beyond it.

This is the color of the magic circle unique to Shaleam Bridge.

“We have to get over here. The ritual is already underway.”

“But it looks so slippery…”

The height is approximately 9m.

This is the distance that can be achieved by leaping.

I practiced it because I thought it would be useful.

“I’ll go first and pull you.”

The floor and walls were magnetized at the same time.

If you adjust the degree exquisitely…

— Faaat!

The ceiling gets closer in an instant.

‘Damn.’

I managed to correct my posture and at least avoid colliding with the ceiling.

I guess I need to get used to it a bit.

“Wow-!”

A sound of exclamation coming from below.

Everyone was looking up with surprised eyes, but there was no time to watch.

— Faaat!

The light that signaled the operation of the magic circle was getting closer and closer to the color of blood red.

I shouted, twisting the ether like a rope and throwing it down.

“Hold it and come up!”

Then he lowered himself straight down.

The scenery is clearly visible only after stepping on a few piles of stones and landing.

A huge magic circle was drawn in a wide cavity.

A magic circle drawn in blood-red color.

There were a lot of cats gathered inside.

“… Ian Black Angus?”

A talented person who looked incredibly powerful at a glance was muttering while looking at me.

Why does a faint murmur reach my ears so clearly?

He is a man with dark blue hair, dressed entirely in black.

Even when looking at the deep dark circles under his thin, sharp eyes from afar, she has a strong presence.

I ran straight towards him, who was dressed entirely in black and even had a devastated and pitch-black appearance.

“You have a more impatient personality than you look.”

He is definitely not an ordinary person.

Even though I’m running like this, you don’t even blink an eye.

In the meantime, red energy was gradually spreading from the outside of the magic circle.

A magic circle with half of the giant circle shape completed.

‘… Damn it.’

There is a long way to go before I can leap forward.

First, it stopped right there.

A burst of breath.

He held back and formed the ether into a sharp bullet shape.

And then just fired.

— Shook!

With a short sound of cutting through the air, nearly transparent ether is shot out.

The target is the man’s forehead and shoulders.

“Hoo.”

With a short exclamation, the man unfolded his coat.

Phew, Phew!

The ether was blocked in vain.

Any steel coat will do?

‘… No. For a moment.’

Is that really the “Bloodmarked Balmacan”?

The other person raises an eyebrow at my surprise.

“Do you recognize the true value of this coat?”

Of course.

I know the value of that coat better than anyone else.

Number 53 “Blood-stained Balmacan”.

Because this is the coat I was trying to get.

However, the conditions for obtaining that coat are quite strict.

Gain the heart of the item’s creator, or kill him and steal it.

Because there are only two options.

“You really, Dior…?”

“Wow. You seem to know Dior as well as the kid. I kind of understand why the higher-ups are interested in you.”

“What did you do to that person?”

“What could I have done?”

“……”

“I killed him.”

Dior.

The most renowned item craftsman on the continent.

The number of numbers he purely created is more than 10.

Even in the case of “Bloodmarked Balmacan”, It is a masterpiece of number 50.

If he were alive, there are at least three numbers left that he would have created in the future.

Killing a craftsman like that?

‘… Side quest.’

Originally, there is one side quest that must be completed around this time.

A quest to go to the capital of the empire and perform an escort mission for craftsman Dior.

Even though it is a side quest, it is a quest that gets complaints from users because the villain is quite strong. At best, the ‘villain’ can be driven out with the support of the imperial family and the top brass.

The quest that was originally supposed to be done about two weeks later was brought forward.

‘The story of killing Dior’

The story is that this person is the villain of the quest.

“Evan Kessler?”

“Hmm? You even know my name.”

… Damn.

Why is this bastard here?

Hwalam Bridge 5th Prestige.

Evan Kessler.

Why on earth is a person ranked among the top five in Shaleam Bridge acting like this in the basement of the Academy?

It may seem hard to understand at first glance, but if you’re planning something big like that, the story is different.

“The sound of heads rolling can be heard all the way from here.”

Evan stretches out his hand.

I rolled my body reflexively.

— Kwakang!

The shadow rising from the floor rises up and hits the ceiling of the cave.

Huddudduk.

Stone dust falling roughly.

Was this person a ‘shadow wizard’?

“The reaction speed is quick.”

Evan leisurely put his outstretched hand into his coat.

When I see that image, information about him rises to the surface of my memory.

Information that was scattered like fragments is added to memory.

If the unidentified shadow caster was Evan Kessler, the 5th Rank of the Shale Cult…

That fact alone brings a lot of information to mind.

For example, the fact that Evan Kessler is an extremely strong enemy that is difficult for me to overcome.

Or else. Not to mention the fact that he’s a guy who likes to show off.

— Parbat!

I immediately used [ Leap ].

Highest output.

In an instant, the space shrinks as if folded.

Even this flickering has become familiar to me now.

In fact, the speed is no different from instantaneous movement.

The back of Evan’s head caught my eye.

[ Extract ]

[Transformation]

[Acceleration]

Using my skills and acceleration through leaping, I swing the berserker’s shield.

A turning blow that can extract the most damage I have.

‘The bigger the gap, the more you have to close it with one shot.’

In the first place, it is an attack using a shield.

That’s why there is no back.

It is an attack that delivers incredible speed along with an extremely strengthened body.

If it hits properly, it is an attack that will make no one lose their bones.

No matter how much the ‘Bloodmarked Balmacan’ has all kinds of resistance, it will not be able to block ignorant physical power.

— The Quagga Gaga River!

A heavy shock envelops the entire body.

That’s why I thought it was a success.

Even if Evan blocks it, the impact will all be transmitted.

But Evan’s response exceeded expectations.

— Whoa!

He poured out as if he had become a black liquid and then seeped into the shadows in the ground.

— Baba baba bak!

Having lost my target, I was pinned to the floor.

All the physical force that was meant to be swung at Evan crashed to the floor.

“Keuheuk!”

A moan that naturally comes out from the shock.

Evan jumps out right next to me and laughs at me.

“hehehe. That was a pretty plausible attack, kid.”

“……”

“I was quite surprised when it first hit me, but it turned out to be a much more powerful attack than I expected. But what can I do? I can avoid it so easily.”

Evan pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.

It seems quite funny that I couldn’t even aim my shield properly and ended up stuck on the ground.

The moment he was about to raise his hand, grinning as if he were watching a clown.

— Crackle!

There was a sound of a huge rock cracking.

Following this, the floor vibrates slightly.

“…?”

The sneer disappears from Evan’s face.

He hurriedly looks back with an urgent expression.

The reason was simple.

The source of this vibration is the magic circle he created.

The shaking is over.

Underneath the huge magic circle he had worked so hard to create, there was a crack as if there had been an earthquake.

The magic circle has not been erased, but the ground on which it was drawn has become uneven and mixed up.

Evan’s brow furrows as he understands the situation.

“You damn little bastard.”

“When doing something on the ground, you have to strengthen the foundation.”

“Did you intend to do this from the beginning?”

“Well, okay.”

I stood up and grinned at him.

“I’m also the type of person who likes to mess around.”
