257 – Final Chapter (10)
In the end, the important thing is escape. You have to somehow escape from here to jump to the forefront of the story. You can also protect your colleagues.
Of course, since you are in the enemy’s main base, you will need to think about ways to inflict significant damage before escaping. This is the so-called internal injury.
Internal injuries and prolapse.
The first step to achieving two goals is blood girl.
Her Shale Doctrine Not only would I be able to roam freely around this place if I was with her as a senior, but no matter what anyone said, she was my steadfast watchdog.
The blood woman will never let me go.
Maybe that’s why the cult leader entrusted me to her blood daughter.
Therefore, he seduces her.
So that you can stand by my side, even if only for a moment.

“… Are you saying this is the sect’s Danjeon?”
I nodded quietly.
The hand of the blood woman who was touching my face stopped.
Slightly opened crimson lips.
I could see a sigh of embarrassment being swallowed inside.
There was a moment of disbelief in the eyes looking at me.
But he immediately shook his head.
Her jet black hair floats in the air and then sinks.
Then, she puts her hands together as if putting her hands together.
“I’m sorry. The main lady was out of her mind for a moment. I can’t believe she doubted you, Ian. I won’t do that again. Yes. The main lady trusts you unconditionally. I won’t do that again.”
“Even if it were me, I would have doubted it at least once.”
“No. This is her fault. There is no way a bright child like you would lie. Please forgive me. I beg you like this.”
A blood girl lowering her head with her hands clasped together.
That blind faith naturally feels like madness. I felt uncomfortable even answering. Because it seemed like the madness would increase as she reacted to her one by one.
What is scary is the side effects.
If the blood girl’s crazy belief in me were to be shattered, the repercussions would be severe. Because I’m probably the only one who knows the extent of her blood girl obsession better than anyone else.
So, rather than believing in myself, it makes me believe in the situation.
“Try to sit cross-legged and contemplate your body. Instead of focusing on redirecting your energy, just focus on the things that naturally disperse within your body. Then you will feel it. The vitality that should naturally be reduced over time is heading somewhere. “The truth.”
The blood woman put her cross-legged position on the spot.
By nature, these experts do not meditate carelessly in front of others. This is the most vulnerable and dangerous moment, as if the other person has a bad mind, they can immediately fall into a state of confusion.
But the blood girl had no hesitation. It was proof that she truly trusted me.
— Kkulleong
Her energy wavered once.
A red so pure that it looks neat.
‘……’
I was amazed on the inside.
Just as I had collected only the purest earth elements, the blood girl also seemed to have collected only such vitality.
It is also not normal.
After looking at herself like that, the blood girl opened her eyes.
“… It’s true. The air here was naturally absorbing her true maiden’s life force, just like breathing.”
“You didn’t know?”
“It is the law of living things that life force evaporates over time. I thought it was natural.”
“The leader was digging into that point.”
“…The leader of the cult?”
“Who else could do something like this except him?”
“… That’s right. You’re right, Ian.”
The blood woman’s eyes instantly became sinister.
“The leader… Of course he is…”
She bit her lip.
Has there been a lot accumulated from the religious leader?
Or maybe I just didn’t believe it that much.
From the first day I was captured here, I witnessed the conflict between the blood woman and the religious leader.
‘… I can use it.’
Looking at her blood girl attitude now, it clearly seemed like there was room for her to take advantage of it.
Of course, I don’t trust this enchantress.
However, she just uses her unique eccentricity.
Emotional, not knowing where to go, losing one’s mind, obsessing over and rushing towards something that catches one’s attention.
It is spontaneous.
That’s why I can make you believe in me and be for me, even if just for a moment.
The situation also followed.
She was definitely not a woman who would enjoy this situation where her energy was slowly being absorbed by others. The blood woman’s position was always that of a predator.
A spider slowly sucking prey caught in her own web.
There was no way she would enjoy a situation where she was being preyed upon.
This may be one of the reasons why the blood girl was angry at the religious leader.
I told her my business straight away, which made her angry.
Turning it around will only backfire on this type of person.
“I want to turn this place upside down. I hope you, blood girl, will cooperate too.”
She blinks her eyes for a moment and then stares at me.
“Are you asking her real wife to help you escape?”
“No. You’re just helping to destroy this place. I don’t like it. Things like this.”
“Ahahahaha-.”
The blood girl had a smile on her face.
Her eyes, which were full of anger, suddenly had the same desire as usual.
“Ian, ah. The real Ian.”
She scans my face.
“You may be so appetizing. Your words, actions, eyes, and attitude make my mouth water.”
Both hands grab my face.
As if he wanted to eat it right away.
But I wasn’t afraid anymore.
Looking into her eyes, the blood girl swallows her saliva.
“Ah. I’m so excited.”
After muttering to herself, she jumped up from her seat.
Then he grabbed my sleeve.
“?”
“Come here. I’ll show you around.”
— Grumble, thump.
The blood woman led me to the back door of the residence.
Unlike the main gate, which faces the main street, there was a long path to the back gate.
Walk through a place like a garden or forest for a while.
“It’s here.”
The place where the blood girl stopped.
Her and I stopped along next to her.
“I’ll show you.”
The blood woman lifted a small twig from the floor.
Then he stretched out in front.
— Woo!
It felt like something was shaking, and the tree branch could not overcome the repulsion and broke in two.
“This is what happens when you try to force something out.”
I only remembered it in my head, but seeing it in person was mysterious.
This transparent curtain encompassed the entire place.
I focused on quietly feeling the barrier.
And then I took a step back without realizing it.
It was transparent to the eyes, but now my mana sensitivity has grown several levels and I have become infinitely more sensitive.
What was in front of me was a very huge and majestic castle wall.
The blood woman laughed.
“It is not an artificially created barrier. It is a barrier formed by nature that has been refined with our school’s doctrine. That means that it becomes more solid and stronger as time passes.”
Her eyes seem to see something great.
It was indeed so.
But I felt it at the same time.
‘It’s not like there’s no way.’
It’s a castle wall that I don’t even think about climbing, but if there’s a gap in it, I could dig it out and open it up to make a hole.
Furthermore, if it contains a lot of energy, it will burst like water the moment a hole is created.
The problem is the direction of the hole.
Must be clearly directed outwards.
“If there are any external traces…”
I muttered that and looked at the barrier.
Everything was extremely clean.
I can’t find a single gap.
It was like staring at a wall that could never be overcome.
◆
Portal customs clearance office located in the southern area of the Academy.
Danya, Lina, and Elena skillfully escaped the customs clearance office.
An infinitely familiar air welcomes them.
“It’s been a while.”
From Noble mtl dot com
Elena muttered.
After traveling around the continent to find Ian, he eventually arrived at the academy.
But the sky was too red to just be immersed in memories.
The sky was noticeably red compared to the eastern front of the main forest in the center of the continent where they were.
“I was waiting.”
The coachman bowed her head towards them.
It was a carriage prepared by Sylvia.
The magic carriage quickly headed toward the black forest.
“The color of the sky is definitely unusual.”
“Just like Sister Danya said, it’s darker here. It’s as if it started from here.”
“Do you feel something?”
Danya nodded to the two questions.
“Yes. It’s getting more and more ominous.”
Ominous.
In fact, it was an intuition and instinct that is difficult to explain in one word. It feels like something very dangerous is lurking here, and it hasn’t started yet.
In other words, an instinctive warning.
“… Then Sister Danya, do you think that the Shale Church’s stronghold is in the Black Forest?”
It was ambiguous.
But for some reason, it felt like something was going to happen.
More than anything.
“I think Ian is here… I think it has something to do with that red energy.”
That was the reason I came here.
Lina added her strength.
“It was definitely strange that the leader came to the academy out of nowhere.”
“… But is there any reason for the leader to be obsessed with the academy?”
“I don’t know about that, but-.”
Danya closed her mouth.
This time it was because I relied entirely on intuition.
That red sky is the problem.
The closer I got to the black forest and the closer I got to the place where the redness started, the more my body began to tremble slightly.
“… Are you okay?”
Lina held Danya’s hand.
By the time Danya realized she was nervous, she had already curled her tail.
Danya nodded her head and held Lina’s hand.
— Rumble!
Just like that, the carriage arrived at the Shadow Forest.
Cow! Caw!
The crows let out a long cry as if welcoming them.
