309. Lucky woman, lucky man
“Ah… Ugh…”
In the middle of the night, a large man’s mouth is heard babbling like that of a newborn baby.
“…It seems to be having some effect now.”
Edward, who was standing with his finger on his temple, whispered softly to Reina and Kaliman.
[ Maengrip, respond… Maengrip… ]
Raina nodded at his whisper and brought a small crystal ball in her hand to Maeng Rip’s mouth, which was drooling.
Soon, Maeng Rip, who had been staring blankly into space as if he was seeing something in vain, opens his mouth.
“I’m sorry for being late…”
Quite slurred pronunciation.
However, this was a side effect of Edward’s illusion magic, so there was nothing that could be done.
The instructors who were concentrating on the boy’s voice coming from the crystal sphere could only hope that the unknown boy would not be suspicious.
[ Sigh… Did you do the job as instructed? ]
“Yes… It’s a trap… I fell into it just as planned… And I succeeded…”
[ It looks like he’s in bad condition. Did something happen? ]
“…Hukkyul… I was attacked by Hkyul… I couldn’t avoid getting injured… hehehehe…”
Blood suddenly spurts from Maeng Rip’s mouth.
“”……””
Edward and Rayna, who knew this was not an act, turned their sharp gazes to Kaliman.
“……”
Kaliman immediately ‘struck as weakly as possible.’ He waved his hand as if to say, but… Looking at the man’s sunken solar plexus, it didn’t seem like that at all.
“……”
From noble mtl dot com
Edward, who had been showing the illusion to the man, waved his hand blade down his neck and told Rayna that the communication must end before the man dies.
“……”
With her eyes wide open, Reina barely suppresses her sigh.
‘Do you know how difficult it is to track a crystal ball?! I need more time. ‘Try to pull it out as much as you can.’
If she had been able to use her voice, she would have scolded her like that.
However, it was the crystal ball that threatened her.
[ Didn’t I tell you to be careful of those guys? ]
The boy shouted as if he was yelling at his subordinate.
“Jo, I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
At this, Maeng Rip’s mouth opens again.
[ How big is the damage? ]
“……”
Edward, who had been casting illusion magic in response to the boy’s question, turned his head and slowly looked at the forest filled with the scent of thick blood with his eyes narrowed as usual.
About thirty corpses can be seen here and there in the forest.
It was difficult to count the number of people who died in a rather messy manner, but the number of unit members that came to Maeng Rip’s head seemed incongruous, so it was safe to say they were wiped out.
“I lost fifteen…”
[ Half… Half… I guess it was cheap that way… ]
“Sorry… Sorry…”
[ No, it is a sincere compliment, so there is no need to criticize it. Was there any harm to the cadets? You didn’t kill him, right? ]
“…Yes. Just blood and damage…”
[What is your goal? ]
“The goal is…”
At that moment, what came to Maeng Lip’s mind was Jeto, a blind swordsman with the nickname ‘Paradise Exile.’
‘The target is Cadet Zeto?’
Edward’s eyes narrow even more when he notices this.
Soon, Maeng Rip, who saw the illusion Edward concocted, gives the answer.
“…Ash, unfortunately… I can’t give it to you…”
[ It’s okay. Aren’t there still more opportunities left? ]
“Well, those words…”
[ Attack once more. Either make them turn around or grab their ankles. Again, there should be no unnecessary bodies other than the target. I heard that there were some Western nobles among the cadets. There is no need to scratch and make crumbs. ]
“Okay, I understand… Soldier…”
[The next communication will be handled by you. Looking at the way you look, it’s hard to believe you’ll still be alive after the next attack. ]
Communication is abruptly cut off with the boy’s firm voice.
Then, Raina, who was looking at the crystal ball that had become quiet, opened her mouth.
“…I couldn’t find the exact location. But I did find the direction.”
“What direction?”
Edward, who removed his finger from Manglip’s temple, asked back.
“It’s northeast. Don’t complain. If I had had more time, I would have put the coordinates on the map.”
“I also took as much time as possible. The person who was communicating was a soldier of the blood religion, a person named Biryu. As everyone heard, the voice was a boy.”
“A young boy is sitting in the military position of a group of blood wizards?”
“It’s a familiar pattern, isn’t it? He’s a genius who’s been brilliant since he was young. Since he’s a group of blood wizards, his body has become younger thanks to the power of the bloodstone.”
“Hmph, he may be a genius, but he doesn’t seem to be very familiar with magic. I think he almost noticed in the end.”
“That’s because it’s the East.”
“Yes, it’s the East.”
“…That’s it. Who wants to go?”
“”……””
In response to Raina’s question thrown out of her shamelessness, silence suddenly falls between the three men and women, whose clothes were covered in blood.
This is because there was an item in the instructors’ manual that stated that if there were any factors that were a threat to the academy and the cadets attending the academy, they should be removed to avoid any negative consequences.
Even with regard to this item, it was possible to report after prior action.
And we have just discovered the headquarters of the blood wizard group that threatened the lives of the cadets.
Soon after, it was Edward who broke the silence.
“I think at least two of you will have to go. There will be a lot of blood mages, and if it’s a blood cult, isn’t it a group of fanatics who worship the cult leader? If you run into blood demons, it might be too much for just one person. There are a lot of people at the festival. “It will be safe, so I think you can leave it to other instructors.”
“I agree with that.”
“I agree.”
Only Rayna and Kali nodded.
Edward raises the corners of his mouth with a suspicious look in their obedient agreement.
“Hoo… I understand. Are you saying it’s okay if it’s not just me…?”
“It’s obvious, right? Come to think of it, Kaliman was really good at killing blood wizards.”
“Edward, didn’t you see that scary b*tch crushing people with just a wave of her hand?”
“I saw it, I saw it. Wasn’t it Instructor Rayna who even tracked her base with the crystal ball? There was a reason why we were afraid of her growth during our school days.”
“Are you going to do this…? If you’re going to do this, just do what you’re doing.”
Raina attacked first, but was cornered by Edward and Kaliman’s combined attack, and eventually pulled out her secret move.
“If it’s the same as usual.”
“This is all there is.”
The three men and women each put their hands forward.
It was ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ with a long history and tradition that has been passed down since their school days.
“Wait a minute.”
Amid tensions, Rayna stops Kaliman and Edward.
“No magic, no muscle.”
Reina said this after looking at Edward and Kaliman in order.
“Oh, I guess you’re not confident?”
“If you don’t have confidence, will you only lose more if you show your confidence to scammers?”
“I understand magic, but what does muscle ban mean? Does it mean you can’t even move your hands?”
“You know better what it means.”
“Good. Sometimes the classic method isn’t a bad idea.”
Edward’s confident smile.
His smile seemed suspicious as always, but since there was a rule against magic, he had to see it as a bluff that wouldn’t work even on a passing country bumpkin.
Soon, the three men and women raise their hands in unison.
Is it a fun festival with lots to eat and enjoy?
On the contrary, is it the home of a blood religion that only smells of blood?
“Rock, paper, scissors…!”
In that way, their future was left in the hands of the goddess of fate.
***
You can see the cadets unfolding the magic tent on the other side.
I was replacing the driver and giving water to the horses that were tired from running without stopping.
It wasn’t just because I wanted to do a good deed, it was more because I wanted to try it at least once since I had never been close to a horse thanks to the ‘decoration’ covering my eyes.
That was when I tied the reins to a nearby tree and sat in front of the pond.
“Heung…Heung…Heung…”
The sound of an excited woman humming is heard from the other side of the forest.
“Oh, Cadet Zeto. You were here?”
Soon she found me sitting among the horses and approached me with her clear voice.
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
I answered without even looking at her.
One of the Black Blood Three.
It was instructor Raina.
The bracelet she gave me was still on my arm.
She must have been conscious of this, too, as she cast a glance at the bracelet on her wrist.
“What about the cadets? Nothing bad happened, right?”
“Well, maybe something special happened?”
Didn’t they eliminate all the attacking blood cult groups?
But for some reason, there was no sign of Edward or Kaliman, who were supposed to follow her.
I know that I dealt with a group of blood cultists, but I don’t know what happened after that.
The distance between them and the carriage continued to grow, and there was a limit to the range of energy.
“What about other instructors?”
“Ah, did you hear Zeto?”
“That too, and more than anything else, the instructor smells like blood. I didn’t tell the other cadets, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Really? That’s a good thing. It was worth it to deal with it as quietly as possible. Those two idiots went to deal with the ‘culprit’. Should I say cleanup? If you calculate the distance, you might be able to see them around the last day of the festival. “
Could it be that they have found the headquarters of the blood religion?
It was absurd, but on the other hand, it didn’t seem that strange that the ‘Three of Black Bloods’ could do such a ridiculous thing, so I didn’t inquire further.
‘If this happens, should we say that the movement line is twisted?’
Even if they were to visit the stronghold of a blood religion, the chances of encountering a blood demon like Edward and Kaliman would be extremely rare.
The blood demon would have already left its home base and headed to the place where the leaders of the East gathered.
The remaining members of the Blood Cult will also be deployed in large numbers for this operation, so there will be few left at the home base.
‘But if you do well…’
It is true that the number of people to protect the citizens who participated in the festival was reduced, but in other words, it was also an opportunity to completely erase blood religion from this land.
On the side of the blood demon is Bernice, an innocent saint.
At home, there are only black-blooded Edward and Kali.
Lastly, if I could prevent the chaos of the festival well, there seemed to be no clearing operation more perfect than this.
From noble mtl dot com
‘If this goes on, will we be able to see everyone’s faces before the festival ends?’
As I was organizing my plan, I unconsciously stayed still without moving a single corner of her mouth, and then she frowned and approached me, probably because she was aware of Reinagai.
“But is the smell that bad? I didn’t think there was much blood.”
Raina pushes his body into her face as if asking her to smell her scent.
“…A little?”
Suddenly, her breasts came in front of her face and she lifted her head for no reason.
“Ha, I should wash myself first. I heard this is why I hate blood wizards.”
Soon, Raina takes off her coat and throws it away, looking at the clear pond.
“Here…?”
“So? Is there a bathroom somewhere?”
“I’m giving water to the horses.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just a little distance will do.”
“……”
“Ah, anyway, is this situation a bit embarrassing? Huh? Huh?”
In response to my continued silence, Raina looks at me with a playful voice and a happy smile.
“Not really.”
I answered in as firm a voice as possible.
This is because I now feel that it is not natural to remove my hair.
ㅡTuk.
Reina immediately took off her clothes without hesitation.
Soon, black, luxurious underwear is revealed over her pure white skin.
“As expected, it’s not fun. Zeto.”
Raina, in her underwear, sat down next to her and teased me mischievously.
Beautiful bends and curves.
A smile that goes beyond being playful and makes you feel sly.
“……”
She stared at me for a while, then clicked her tongue and stood up from her seat.
ㅡTalk.
In the end, the sound of thin underwear falling off can be vividly heard in my ears.
[ Hmm, why are there so many shameless women… ]
Sierra, who was hugging me, seemed to be displeased with Raina, so she rested her chin and glanced at her back as she entered the water.
“Kerung.”
Shady, who was at her feet, raised one corner of her mouth and stared at me with her glaring eyes.
What is that facial expression?
Could it be that they are laughing at you?
I tried to ignore his gaze and tried to look at the mountains as far away as possible.
“Why are you so late? Zeto, it took so long to eat… Kyo, instructor…?!”
It was later that Yuri, who was looking for me, came out and found Reina washing her body in the pond.
