36 Ouroboros (2)
The Church of Light branch in the Hwangseong Fortress.
A woman who appeared to be a priest was kneeling and praying in front of the huge statue of light that existed inside.
The sacredness and reverence felt from such a woman was a testament to how great her belief in the God of Light was.
“ Heh heh, pray with a little rest before praying. And if it hurts even the body, wouldn’t the light be sad?”
To the extent that these words came out of the mouths of the priests she was living with, the woman’s usual conduct was no less than an example of other priests.
But ironically, the true identity of such a woman was far from that of a priest.
No, it is correct to call it a sanggeuk at all.
Anti-Magic General Serki.
It was because she was one of the five demon spirits that oversee all the demons that infiltrated the empire.
Serkia was able to use divine power despite her character as a demon, thanks to which she was able to easily permeate into the Church of Light within the Imperial Castle.
So there was no doubt at all.
Who the hell can think
The head of the demons standing on the other side of the light is using divine power and praying to the god of light.
However,
“ Ha… … .”
These days, the word ‘not at all’ has become meaningless.
Even by only one person.
“ I’m going crazy.”
Profanity quietly flowed from Serkia’s mouth as she prayed.
“ That fanatic bastard.”
1 Prince Rubrios Agnes.
He was the only person in the whole empire, or even the emperor, who doubted her identity.
After meeting him in the garden near Chimseonggung in the past, he had been quiet for a while, but in recent years he has been visiting Serkia himself.
To be precise, she was visiting the branch of the Pope of the Light for the purpose of praying, but whenever she came, she could feel the gaze of Rubrios towards her.
‘ What is it that you can’t feel the touch of light?’
It would have been better if I had asked him why he was there at that time.
But doubting that I couldn’t feel the unknown touch of light made my stomach explode.
‘ Not even divine power.’
So I couldn’t figure out how to fix it.
‘ I have to make contact with Utekan once… … .’
Unlike his seemingly childish personality, Rubrios was tenacious.
That is why, even when he was not visiting the denomination, he always kept his eyes on her.
Because of this, Serkia could not move at will and, let alone Utekan, could not properly contact the subordinate demons.
The most annoying imperial family.
Originally, it was Zion Agnes, but recently, the idea has been gradually leaning towards the first prince.
“ Things are getting worse.”
Since when did this happen?
The ultimate goal of all the demons that permeated the Empire, including Serkia himself, was simple.
After taking over the empire in the dark, it plunges into chaos as much as possible.
And at the same time as the full-scale invasion of the magic station, it was to explode from the inside at once and open the bucket.
‘ However, it is being continuously discovered and removed before the great era has even begun.’
However, it is impossible to fight head-to-head without the support of the Magician.
It was frustrating in many ways.
at that time,
– Mr. Serki.
In Serkia’s ears, the voices of the demon tribe could be heard.
It was a way of conveying it at once in my head rather than through voice.
Seeing that the figure was also not illuminated, he seemed to be conscious of the nearby eyes of Rubrios.
Knowing that she couldn’t answer, the demon continued to speak.
– Found the location of Dir’al.
“… … !”
At that moment, Serkia’s eyes began to emit a strange light.
* * *
Ouroboros central branch where Sharin May stays.
It was different from the other branches in the capital.
The central branch was responsible for overseeing all the plans, whereas the other branches were in charge of carrying out a single plan.
Therefore, it was the second largest after the main campus, and the level of the members of the organization was incomparably high.
The top floor office of such a central branch.
“ What? failed?”
There, Sharin May asked Jansen, the captain of the Red Scorpion squad in front of her.
An absurd light lingered in Sharin’s eyes as if it was ridiculous.
“… … Yes, sorry.”
Sharin knew how capable Jansen was, who bowed his head in front of him.
So it didn’t make any more sense.
How the hell did you fail?
Wasn’t it not the Red Scorpion Squadron that sent not only the target but also other forces around the target?
“ Is the objective even perfecting the Frost Queen’s power fragments?”
The only possibility that exists.
But Janssen shook his head.
“ No. The objective never used the power of the Frost Queen.”
“ But why… … Why did you fail?”
Along with Sharin’s loud cry, the surrounding atmosphere trembled as if sympathizing with her anger.
“… … .”
Without answering him, Janssen lowered his head even more.
In fact, starting with the nonsensical force of the target, he had a pile of things he wanted to say, but he kept his mouth shut because saying those words now would fan Sharin’s anger.
“ Aren’t you going to answer me?”
“ I’m sorry. It’s so much stronger than I thought… … Instead, we captured a nearby person on the target.”
In the end, as soon as Jansen turned his attention to Sharin’s interrogation filled with irritation, he quickly announced the existence of the kidnapped woman.
“ People around you?”
“ Yes, I am a brunette woman.”
“… … Was it that woman then?”
As she murmured in her head, the image of the woman next to her came to mind when she was having a conversation with the masked Goal at the old auction house.
I don’t really remember because I didn’t care at the time, but that woman also had reddish-brown hair.
“ Restart tracking the target and direct her to the woman right now. Because I have to see it for myself.”
After thinking about something for a moment, Sharin stood up and spoke to Jansen.
‘ It would have been nice if I had brought the goal myself… … It’s already gone wrong, so I have no choice but to extract the maximum efficiency from the given conditions.’
To do that, it was right to focus on the woman he had kidnapped rather than blaming Jansen for his failure.
‘ It doesn’t matter if it’s not the woman at the time.’
People around the target must know some information about the target.
Sharin was planning to extract the information herself.
“ Okay, this is it!”
At that, Jansen got up in a hurry and started to guide Sharin.
She was young for a moment and then disappeared in the eyes of Sharin who was looking at his back.
Now that the situation is the situation, I will pass on it for now, but I was thinking of taking responsibility for it later.
“ I will go with you.”
Diral, who was watching from the side, also began to follow them.
Only irritation and anger were different from the young Sharin’s eyes, and his eyes were tinged with something gloomy.
‘ Why don’t you feel so good?’
Of course, it was said that Sharin’s plan didn’t work out, but Diral himself had little to do with it.
I came to Ouroboros instead of going back to the monster camp just because it looked fun, so it didn’t matter if this place was destroyed.
However, the dread I feel now is similar to when my life was threatened by a red-eyed woman in the old castle.
Diral, who moves everything around interest, also had a precious life, so he had no choice but to be more sensitive than usual.
‘ Are you feeling anything?’
It was highly probable.
At that time, the woman would be in the Hwangseong Fortress, and other variables would not have come to visit her, who was quietly curled up here.
in between,
“ It’s in here.”
Janssen, who was walking ahead, stopped in front of a room with a thick iron gate.
Just looking at it, it was not a normal room, but a room used for special purposes such as torture.
“ Open.”
Sharin looked at the door with cold eyes and spoke.
Chunkyung!
When Jansen opened the iron door, a larger room was revealed than expected.
Torture instruments lined both walls and an iron chair in the center.
And to that chair was tied a woman whose head was covered with a hood.
“ Before the interrogation begins. Would you like to check it out?”
“ Yes.”
At Sharin’s words, Jansen immediately started walking towards the woman.
‘ What?’
Dir’al, who was watching him from behind, raised his eyebrows slightly.
The face was not visible because of the hood, but the overall silhouette was familiar.
‘ It’s like I’ve seen it somewhere… … .’

Meanwhile, Janssen approached right in front of him and took off the woman’s hood.
That moment,
Shrek-
Her dark hair was fluttering and falling down.
Bright red eyes that slowly appeared with him.
“… … uh?”
The color of the woman’s eyes and hair was completely different from the previous one, and Jansen’s face was dyed with suspicion.
“ What, you call me brunette… … .”
The words that came out of the mouth of Sharin, who was next to him, were not even completed.
“ You, you!!!!”
A scream like a scream erupted from Dir’al’s mouth behind him.
His face, pointing to the woman with trembling fingers, was young with a great astonishment he had never seen before.
It had been a long time since I had seen it, but I was able to recognize it at once.
No, you are right to say that I never forgot.
Why the hell is that being here?
The red-eyed woman who took her arm from the Imperial Castle and drove her to the point of death.
“ You, long time no see?”
Looking at such Diral, the corner of the woman’s lips, Riusina, rose bright red,
“ What… … !”
The moment Sharin’s eyes widen in the eerie sense of the thrill that comes from him, wow!
The whole room began to be stained with blood.
And at the same time,
aah
A huge explosion began to be heard from the entrance of the branch.
* * *
“ Attack! It’s an attack!”
The explosion was so huge that the entire building shook, and the fighting personnel inside the branch began to rush toward the entrance where the explosion occurred.
All of them had doubts in their eyes.
‘ What the hell happened?’
This central branch was one of the most secretly hidden among the many branches of Ouroboros.
In addition, the defensive force protecting the branch was also densely arranged around it.
But suddenly the entrance explodes without any warning?
Soon after,
“… … !”
Their eyes saw the entrance of the building, completely smashed and collapsing.
The grayish dust that spreads everywhere with him.
It was when the members of the gang, who had been looking at the scene with bewildered eyes, tried to approach the wreckage to understand the situation.
jerk-
The sound of footsteps in the spreading dust.
The sound was very small, but it was clearly heard in the ears of everyone there.
With him, people’s heads begin to turn toward the sound of footsteps as if possessed.
and at that moment,
At last the master of the footsteps slowly emerged from within the dust.
bum bum, bum bum.
Gray eyes filled with a bored light on an expressionless face.
And to the heterogeneous atmosphere that naturally crushes the surroundings.
It was Zion.
How dazed he must have looked at Zion walking like that.
Soon after, in the eyes of the members of the organization who came to their senses, life began to be young.
“ Kill!”
Dozens of members of the organization begin to rush towards Zion with a short shout.
They didn’t know the identity of the man who broke into the entrance, but it didn’t matter.
The only thing that mattered was that there was an intruder in the secret branch that only Ouroboros could enter, and they had to get rid of the invader.
Paan!
As if they all had outstanding skills, the movements of those members of the organization were fast enough to cause a wave to the rear.
While looking at the members of the group approaching like that, Sion moved slowly with eyes that were still too quiet.
“ Where is this!”
In the meantime, the members of the organization, who reached the front of Zion in an instant, attacked without hesitation.
Finally, it was the moment when their weapons were about to pierce Zion’s whole body.
Scratch!
The neck of the gang member, who was swinging the sword towards Zion from the front, split without any warning.
And before that gang member’s head hits the floor,
Suga, go, go!
Then, dozens of silver flashes of light slashed the heads of all members of the gang who were swinging their weapons towards Zion.
It’s a very clean sword attack without even a single fuss.
But it was not Zion’s work.
dump!
At the same time as the corpses of the gang members who had lost their heads fell to the floor, dozens of people appeared from around Surreuk-Shion.
They were all wearing black masks with strange expressions on their faces.
Twilight Blade.
It was Ascalon’s strongest shadow sword.
“ From now on, we will open the way.”
Lucas Ascalon, the leader of such a twilight swordsman, bowed his head toward Shion and opened his mouth.
Soon after, the cold eyes under his mask turned to the newly appeared Ouroboros members.
“ Don’t let your footsteps stop.”
With words like that oath,
Suga, go, go!
The twilight swordsmen rushed forward at once and began to move forward, cutting down all the attacking gang members.
The hallway turns red in an instant.
bum bum, bum bum.
The emperor, who had swallowed up the world of the past, moved slowly up the hallway.
