The knights poured into the castle gate, which was broken here and there.
The Order of the Golden Lion and the Order of the White Horse were responsible for pushing out the soldiers and knights at the castle gate.
They painstakingly overpowered the enemy and cleared the way. Senior knights entered backwards along the passage.
Three knights confronting a warlock in the distance.
Among them, Kali Arjen’s gaze turned in the direction where Ren Arjen was.
Ren moves forward, chopping off all the black hands that block his path, and the wall of the castle cracks precariously above him.
When I turn my gaze to find the cause of the strange phenomenon, a woman covered in a robe is smiling and shooting out magical energy beyond the window.
‘That damn b*tch, so mean!’
Kali Arzen condensed energy in her feet and bounced off the ground.
Blue energy flickered on the two daggers sliding out of both waists.
Argen Swordsmanship
– 9th season
– Pressed flower
The two crossed daggers create sparks and shoot the ‘X’ shaped sword energy forward.
A lump of extremely concentrated energy broke the stone of the collapsing wall just in time and flew into the window beyond.
The warlock, who was looking at the falling debris, hardened his expression and tapped the ground with his staff.
Hwaaa!
The black smoke flowing out from inside became a curtain, blocking the back of the window.
Shards of broken glass hit the curtain with black energy and slid down to the ground.
“under!”
Carly twitched her cheek with an unpleasant expression. This was because the warlock laughed and turned around inside the building and tried to disappear.
“Where are you going!”
Kali’s dagger, passing between the soldiers, moved dazzlingly.
The flash of a fast yet heavy dagger illuminated the battlefield.
The soldiers’ screams rang out, but Kali did not take any lives.
Soldiers were incapacitated by hitting vital points to stun them or rupturing the tendons of their feet or arms.
It’ll be quite painful after the dark magic is broken, but it’s better than dying.
‘That’s where Carly goes.’
Ren’s senses were completely different before and after he returned to the North.
The blade became too sharp for it to be because the senses stat increased.
Monsters often survive using their instinctive senses. Their speculation reflects that feeling.
After facing the fighting spirit of monsters every day and learning how to kill them, Ren learned how to use fighting spirit in battle.
‘If I use speculation for my survival… … .’
A dark spirit envelopes Ren’s body, and at that moment, he feels a tingling sensation and the movement of magical power writhing beneath his feet.
[Sense increases by 0.3.]
Ignore the rising system messages and focus on your magic power.
Pakak!
Two long black hands came out as soon as I read the direction of the magic and jumped back.
The ten fingers soon turned into sharp blades and rushed towards Ren’s heart.
‘At least to this extent…’ !’
Chohon, gently curved as if cutting through waves, cuts off ten fingers and passes by.
The fingers that fell off turned into dust and disappeared along with the black hand.
Where is the source of this black magic? As I expand my senses following the magic that flowed in just a moment ago, I can guess where it is.
‘Was it in the basement?’
So no matter how much I looked for the magician, I couldn’t find him.
Anyway, the act of manifesting black magic beyond an invisible ceiling is amazing in itself. This is a method that is difficult for ordinary wizards to even attempt.
Maybe it’s possible because it’s black magic.
“It’s underground! “There is a magician hiding down here.”
“what?”
“Is that possible?”
Cleta and Cohen also look surprised.
“You three go first. “I will handle it.”
Layton, who has just joined, holds his sword backwards and stabs the ground.
“Hanpa sword.”
A cold chill rushed from his body. It’s similar to the frost that Cohen usually exudes, but it feels a little different.
Jeok-jeok-jeok-.
White frost covered the surface, centered around the sword stuck in the ground, and the ground began to freeze.
‘I shouldn’t be here.’
Soon, that frozen ground will collapse from Layton’s sword strike. If I stay here for no reason, I’ll get caught up.
Wren looked at Cohen and Cleta. The three people exchanged thoughts with glances as if they were already thinking the same thing.
“Wait a minute, I’m coming with you.”
At that time, Scarlet Arzen, who had sent a knight flying behind Layton, joined him.
“You helped them-.”
“No, I want to go too.”
A madness is creeping into the eyes.
I can’t stop this.
“All right.”
“It looks like it’s enough to leave this place to them.”
“egg plant.”
When the remaining two agreed, the four quickly entered the inner room.
At the same time, Ren was picturing the future path in his head.
‘Two warlocks and a black knight are waiting at the entrance. That’s also a lot of skill.’
This is proof that Black Star also poured a considerable amount of effort into this matter.
If it’s just that bad at the entrance, how much stronger is the enemy waiting inside?
‘If the purpose is to summon the devil and it is inside the royal castle, there is only one destination.’
The royal tomb.
In my previous life, I had heard about the location of the grave from Louise because she was a gravedigger.
He was displeased with the tomb, which was not properly maintained in the name of hiding it, and called Ren there.
‘Of course, he probably did it because he thought I was trustworthy.’
Heukseong was experimenting with creating a graveyard and extracting spiritual power from it. If spiritual power is needed to summon a demon, the only place in the castle where you can summon a demon is the royal tomb.
‘I don’t know if the reason they didn’t kill the king had something to do with it.’
It is said that Lev did not kill the King even though he had the opportunity to do so after the intervention of the Black Star.
Rather, it is said that he was trying to save his life, but his purpose has not yet been revealed.
‘The system also said to save the king, so he wouldn’t have died.’
The problem is that there is a lack of rational reason for Ren knowing the location of the royal family’s tomb.
‘If we go roughly, there’s a reason… … .’
At that time, passing through the lobby on the first floor and at the top of the circular staircase, a dark figure quickly approached here.
“The enemy is coming from above!”
The first thing I felt was Ren. The other three raised their heads in surprise at his words.
Ride, ride!
Black flashes of light bounced off the stairs, railings, and walls in turns, rushing towards them in an instant.
The speed is getting faster. Every time I turned, an accelerating flash landed behind Scarlett, who was at the very back.
“Tch!”
Scarlett, realizing that she seemed the most formidable of the four, frowned and threw away her sword.
Kaaang!!
The swordsman, with his demonic energy flowing, stretches the corners of his mouth and smiles.
“See you again. “Did you come back because you wanted to die?”
“you… … !”
Scarlett widens her eyes and quietly lets out anger.
This was the knight Scarlett fought during the first raid before reinforcements arrived.
At that time, I was upset because I couldn’t compete properly, but we met again like this.
“I’m going to kill you for real this time.”
Scarlett’s silver hair fluttered. The energy flowing from her body vibrated violently.
‘The madman is acting properly. Did you lose to that prosecutor once?’
Ren checked the swordsman’s abilities and Scarlett’s abilities in the status window and smiled slightly.
“Let’s leave this to Scarlett and let us go first-.”
Wow!!
Before Ren could finish speaking, black spheres gathered a few steps above.
The black smoke billowing through the air exudes danger.
“Avoid!”
As soon as Cleta opened her mouth, three people jumped down the railing of the stairs.
The black sphere that suddenly fell from above not only shattered the stairs, but also spread like water and stuck to everything, including the walls and floor, leaving black marks.
As the black liquid wriggled as if it were alive, the floors, walls, and stairs that came in contact with it became dry and dry.
“Are they absorbing moisture?”
“You’re crazy.”
The three people looked bored. Scarlett and the Black Knight were already far away and engaged in a fierce battle.
“The stairs going up are broken. Should we go back and climb somewhere else?”
“But before that, I have to stop that warlock.”
There are other ways to go upstairs besides here. The only problem is that it doesn’t seem like the warlock will let him go smoothly.
“I will stop it. “I’m also worried about my nephew.”
Cleta looks at the warlock with glaring eyes. His blue energy flows slowly through his sword body.
‘Scarlet guy, you almost achieved a moon attack, right?’
His gaze slowly shifted to Scarlett. I was curious to see how she would recreate the moon attack.
“All right. “Please come here.”
“okay. “Cut off Lev’s hair and come back.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“yes.”
Cleta kicked the ground and ran. At the same time, Ren and Cohen also turn and run into the hallway.
“Cleta Arzen. I thought I would lose the head of the family competition and be stuck in Brilliant, wasting my time… . “Your eyes are quite harsh.”
Red eyes flash from inside the black robe. The hood was removed by the magical wind flowing from his staff, revealing the old man’s face with half of his face melted away.
“you… … . Ha, I wondered where he had disappeared to, but I found out he was hiding in the shadows. That timid personality still remains. Mardruk.”
Mardruk, who once served as a professor at the Imperial Academy, disappeared after having his research results stolen.
He was also a person who had a relationship with Cleta several times. Cleta was also present at the scene that made Mardruk’s face melt.
“Are you still blaming others? “It has not been proven that it was an accident that made your face look that way and that the research results were stolen.”
“Don’t act like you know something when you don’t know the details. “You’re not much different from me, are you?”
Cleta smiles bitterly at his words that strike like a dagger.
“That makes it even more unfortunate. “Because I think it’s not too late.”
I truly thought so. In fact, like Mardruk said, I was losing motivation while living in Brilliant.
But after meeting Ren, that dying spark came back to life little by little. It felt like the dark and stuffy fog was lifting.
Knowing that, Cleta understood Mardruk. And it was sad.
Originally, there would have been no feelings of pity for Mardruk, who had simply become corrupted, but it was different now.
‘Sometimes you need someone’s help desperately.’
He adjusted his sword and held it. After meeting Ren, I resumed my neglected sword training. Recently, I have honed my senses quite sharply.
‘I don’t know how much stronger Mardruk has become, but he won’t be able to defeat me, then or now.’
Blue energy flickers on Cleta’s sword and pours forward. At the same time, a chunk of Mardruk’s magic flew and exploded in the air.
“Stop acting stupid right now. Mardruk.”
“noisy!”
A fierce battle between the two began that made the entire castle cry.
* * *
“Where are you going?”
“I plan to go to the throne room.”
“yes? Why is the throne room… … ?”
There was no clear answer to Cohen’s question.
I just passed it off as a feeling, but after everything is done, I’ll have to tell you exactly why.
“You’re all there.”
A huge door visible at the end of the hallway in the distance. The door to the throne room with a colorful pattern is waiting for us.
“Huh, there really is someone.”
The sticky feeling inside is life. It’s clear that the guy waiting inside is aware that we’re here and is openly trying to kill us.
Mei profit-
When I open the front door, a red carpet stretches out, and there is a large throne at the end of it.
“What’s going on here?”
A knight wearing armor with the symbol of the Black Star resting his chin on the armrest of the throne leisurely asks.
“Where do you dare sit?”
Cohen was furious and chilled.
“Two guys… … “It’s going to be a little annoying.”
He stands up, grabbing the sword that was leaning at an angle next to the throne.
There was quite a majestic vibe. It was a shame that I couldn’t check the status window because my face was obscured by the helmet.
‘The momentum felt is definitely not that of a master.’
If you are a senior knight, you can easily leave it to Sir Cohen.
“I don’t have time, so I’ll take care of it.”
Just then, Cohen says that and steps forward.
“please.”
We’re almost there. The Black Knight leisurely walks forward.
“Where are you going?”
The black knight kicks the ground and rushes in. Black magic energy flowing over his sword body.
As he swings his sword horizontally, Cohen notices that demonic energy is scattered in the air in the shape of a fan, and raises his energy.
Hwaaa!
The magic energy that had spread like fog rapidly expanded, and the small spheres hidden within it turned into blades and flew in all directions.
Kwagagagagagagag!!
Cohen, who did not miss that moment, dispersed cold air and created ice pieces to block all of the blades.
“Huh, was Cohen Travis’s capabilities better than the rumors?”
The Black Knight muttered as if he was surprised. Then he narrows his eyebrows and quickly turns his head.
“no way… … !”
While his mind was completely focused on Cohen, Ren went back using a ghost trick or a shadow walk.
The place where Ren secretly moved and stopped was behind the throne. The king stands in front of a dragon-shaped decoration on the top of the backrest on which he reclines.
Ren, holding the head of the dragon symbolizing the king, breaks the dragon’s neck without hesitation.
“this… … !”
At the same time as the Black Knight’s frustrated voice was heard.
Click.
A dragon decoration that, rather than breaking, gently bends and returns to its original state.
Coo coo coo coo,
The wall behind the throne opens sequentially. Beyond that is a short hallway and stairs leading down.
Len exchanged glances with Cohen and then entered there.
After only 5 seconds, the wall returns to its original state.
“How on earth did you know?”
The Black Knight asks a curious question.
“I’m curious too.”
I couldn’t get the answer I wanted.
“Tsk, but… … “Do you think anything will change when you go in?”
The Black Knight said this in a relaxed manner. There was a reason for letting Ren go obediently.
“Looks like there’s someone inside too.”
“Yes, he is someone who received the power of the Great One.”
Cohen chuckles at those words.
“What do you think will change? hahahaha, it will change. “There was never a time when he moved and didn’t change.”
The Black Knight frowned as if he was uneasy at Cohen’s confident attitude.
Meanwhile, Ren went down the basement stairs for a while and ran down the long hallway that appeared.
‘Nothing has changed here from then to now.’
A huge underground cavity is revealed at the end of such quiet appreciation.
Lev and the warlock can be seen in a place where the tombs of several kings are laid out.
And a quest appears before his eyes.
‘Huh, now that I think about it, Rowan Hertia was here… … .’
A smile appeared on Ren’s face when he saw the quest.
