Deep in the forest, where only the shape can be seen by the moonlight.
There was someone who was going downhill hard with injuries.
“Damn it! How far are you chasing me… … !”
A group of huge red wolves ran behind him as he ran through the forest without even having the energy to recover the accumulated damage.
-Aww——!
-Ooh–!
A signal only from wolves that they have found their prey.
Am-yak, who chewed and swallowed the pain felt all over his body and increased his speed, grabbed the dagger in his left hand.
-Kreur! Can-can!
He quickly turns around and swings his arm at the sound of a wolf coming from next to him.
– Crack!
His dagger was stuck in the neck of the charging wolf, but the dark medicine fell to the ground unable to withstand the weight.
“Hey, hey, how many unknown abilities do you have… … !”
Secret medicine has always frantically investigated the people connected to the commission.
And the same was true of Eugene Han Carlione, the de facto owner of Cielo notturno, a cafe.
‘Carlione’s heir who goes to the academy while hiding his identity.’
When I first realized his identity, even the world’s secret agents could not help but be surprised.
That’s also true, because the things he did at the academy while hiding his identity were beyond imagination.
But at the same time, I thought that was all. It was judged to be at the level of an academy cadet at best.
Rather, some thought it was inflated by Carlione’s power.
From the moment of admission, he got points by sniping by members of the organization, and even in the middle of the semester, there was a suspicious part that Carlione’s capital went in, so naturally, we have no choice but to assume that his achievements were covered.
Even he was now a freshman in the academy.
As long as you don’t live your life from scratch, no matter how genius you are, there is a limit.
but… … .
‘It wasn’t like that!’
I thought something was strange.

No matter how much he goes to the academy, he is actually Carlione’s successor.
If that’s the case, there might be some information that came from Carlione’s activities, but for some reason, there was no information about Carlione’s activities.
At the time, I thought they were just taking classes for successors, but now I can understand why.
Because I saw it with his own two eyes.
‘on purpose! I was hiding it on purpose!’
If Carlione was determined and concealed the information, it was understandable that he couldn’t find it.
‘I can’t believe that he secretly hides such a monstrous successor——’
That moment.
Kwah—!
The tree you just passed by explodes, scattering debris.
“Keugh!”
In response, the dark medicine quickly raised his hand to cover his face.
At the same time, he reflexively spread his hands in the direction the tree fell.
“Darkhole.”
A huge crater is created where the black mass from the fingertip hits, and the trees and soil there are sucked down.
but.
──! ──! ──! ──! ──! ──!
“Keugh!”
This time, an unknown barrage of bullets starts raining down.
It felt as if each shot had been hit by a large-caliber bullet.
As she ran through the darkness at the shock, Am-yak felt that the scars she had barely healed were re-opening, and once again activated Dark Step and looked around.
‘You have to stay calm. Darkness is my space. I have an advantage as long as I specify his position.’
Realizing that he has been greatly embarrassed by the unexpected attack and firepower, he regains his composure.
A total of seven movements are detected in the dark. One of these must have been Eugene.
‘It is fortunate for me that he caught up with me directly in pursuit.’
Unlike the cramped cabin, this place, with numerous cover and darkness, could be called his field.
‘found!’
He’s caught on his radar screen.
Its location was determined through the disorganization of the darkness that spread around it.
A miracle that is possible only because it is a spirit of darkness.
After confirming the appearance of Eugene, the dark medicine immediately melts into the shadow and rises from the darkness as it is.
It was the shadow behind Eugene.
And a dagger that swings right away.
In this decisive attack, ‘die!’ Don’t say useless words like that. That’s why it can’t be called a surprise attack.
but.
“Are you doing this again?”
Eugene pulls the trigger towards the back as if he expected this time as well.
──────!!
At the same time as a huge roar, like a cannon firing, the dark medicine’s body flies as it is and locks itself in a tree.
However, the difference from the first time was that this time, instead of feeling the impact and flying away, the bullet penetrated and pierced a large hole in the body of the dark medicine.
“Big, big… … .”
His body droops with the sound of wind blowing.
The short whistle sound of ‘whiik-‘ clearly indicated the result of the short chase.
* * *
“Kaheugh! Kuck!”
In the end, the secret drug that was bitten by the wolves and dragged away.
Freed from the huge wolf’s teeth, he begins to wriggle and turn over as soon as he falls to the floor.
“how… … what the hell are you… … .”
“Oh, I’m still awake.”
The face seen under the completely torn black cloth was completely different from that of an ordinary human, like a doll made of darkness.
“You already know, right? Eugene Han Callione. Carlione’s successor and the target your client is aiming for.”
Leaving behind the guy who was still on the ground, I dragged a chair that was caught around me and sat on it.
“Don’t be ridiculous… … ! Is it because Carlione is the one who throws bombs that are no different from miracles like trash and breaks through traps that no one has ever told anyone about?”
Oh, was that what you said?
It must have been full of doubts from the guy’s point of view.
Because he was a guy who never left any information about himself, let alone the hideout he lived in.
In other words, to him, I was like a ghost, an incomprehensible being.
“I can show you something even more amazing.”
Maybe you will be surprised when you hear it.
“Dark Spirit Jin. I ask you to answer the spirit question.”
At the same time, the boy’s body shook greatly.
“what? Great, how! How do you know my true name!”
The guy who shouted at me with a voice that was different from before.
From nob le mt l dot com
No matter how embarrassed he was, his human-shaped body continued to sway.
“shut up. The important thing is that I risked your true name and applied for the spirit dialogue.”
Spirit Q&A.
Their own tradition used for bonding and trust with the original contracted spirit.
It was a kind of compulsory confession in each other’s names, but… … .
‘If I make a request without entering my name like this, he will only have to answer, not ask.’
That is also the reason why the spirits only inform the contractor of their true name.
But how? I already know your true name.
“What are you? Are you going to become a dragon that enjoys amusement?!”
“I ask the question. You shut up and answer me.”
Because I didn’t completely kill him for that.
“First of all, the guy who sent the request to rob the cafe. Who are you?”
Hearing my question, his body trembled once again.
Trying not to talk puts a load on your body.
“You know what immortality is if you don’t answer during the quintessence question, and you really search for it, right?”
Let’s talk to him with a fresh smile, and in the end he struggles to open his mouth.
“… … President of Seoul Hero Academy. Ray Pendragon. Guy! He is the client!”
“okay? As expected.”
Well, is there anyone in the academy who hates me this much? Since he was one of the guys at the top of the list, I had some guesses.
However, the reason I asked him this was to hear ‘confirmed testimony’. It was to turn guesses into certainties.
“Then the next question. Is there anyone other than me who knows who you are?”
The guy shakes his head at this question.
“… … does not exist. To be sure, I left no mark in the world.”
“That’s right.”
That’s good. it will make things easier
“… … Carlione’s baby. What are you thinking?”
“hmm?”
The guy who suddenly looked up at me and gave me a fishy smile.
“Couldn’t it be that I’m a spirit and make a contract with me? Do you think so?”
“what?”
“Yeah, I admit it. I am a higher level spirit among the dark spirits. It belongs to the highest level among all the spirits existing in the human world right now. I understand why you are so greedy. If you show kindness to me even now—”
“I wrote the screenplay by myself and fell asleep. You crazy spirit bastard.”
-click.
I take a pistol from its holder and aim it at the guy’s head. But the guy who smiles and looks at me.
It seems that I am convinced that my purpose is a contract with myself.
“Did you forget? i am a spirit Even if my body in the human world dies, my mental body will—”
“——Not too long ago, there was a young lizard who spoke similarly to you. It’s called Fafnir. Do you know?”
“… … what?”
His body flinched and trembled.
“Looking at the reaction, it looks like he knows. Well, there’s no way you don’t know because he’s the one who’s named among the evil dragons. But you know what?”
As I slowly pull the hammer back, I hear a ‘click’.
“That bastard followed me too——.”
At the same time, the arm engraved with the dragon’s seal became hot, and new words began to be engraved in the air as if someone was carving a letter.
[Imprint: -Dragon (reaper of the immortals): He pierced the heart of the one who controlled the flames of the abyss and swallowed the blood of the immortals in the midst of a fatal blow. He is the reaper of death who gave rest to the immortals.]
I get it.
Another trigger condition for Dragon Imprint.
It is to put the life of an immortal in my hands.
In fact, the guy who had even made eye contact with me just now was shaking his head as if he had hypothermia with his head down.
“Keep in mind that it is entirely because of my mercy that you are still breathing… … okay?”
The power of imprint further amplifies my energy. The half-patterned aura wrapped around him and slowly clamped him down.
Then I slowly began to feel fear from the guy who reflexively nodded.
“… … Last question. Plague. Where is he?”
“Venezia! The guy said he would stock up on new strength in Venice. I told you everything I know!”
The attitude of the guy who seems to be praying earnestly comes out with a snort.
What was beneath me now was a single spirit that was engulfed in fear, whose appearance that was initially lofty was nowhere to be found.
“good. Since you answered honestly, I should give you a present too.”
with a snort tell the guy
“Only once. Every question you ask will be answered truthfully. You better think well.”
“ha ha ha… … .”
The boy lets out a dejected laugh.
And the sound did not stop and got louder and louder.
“under. ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha! hahahaha!”
A guy who laughs like crazy.
As I watch the scene, the guy shakes his body and shouts.
“You, from the beginning, I had no intention of saving you. If it had been there in the first place, I wouldn’t have said it this way! under! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
then stand up The boy’s body stops.
“Okay, let me ask you a question. Eugene Han Callione. Anyway, what is your ‘real’ identity?”
Just before dying, a voice that wants to know what to know.
“That’s not really a big deal.”
“… … what?”
But since it’s the guy’s last wish right before he dies, be sincere. let me tell you the truth
“Standing water.”
“what? What is that——”
“——It’s just, an ordinary deceased person with a lot to do with you.”
──Taang!
