179. long long night
Dig!
Pillars of bright light soared high into the sky. Hayoon and I, who had just arrived in the village, hurriedly ran inside, but it was already too late.
The Archwitch collapsed, gasping for breath as if she had exhausted her mana, and Adrina hugged the Archwitch with tears beside her.
Blood and corpses all around.
The witches’ village, their nest, was now left with nothing but their corpses.
“Unbelievable……”
Ha-yoon covered her mouth in shock at the fact that all the people she had seen just a few hours ago were dead, but I went straight to Adrina.
“What about Miko and Coolika?”
The light just now was a warp.
Apparently, they used the witches as hostages and demanded the Warp from the Archwitch, and the two of them seem to have gone somewhere.
Adriana explained, trying to suppress her crying voice and rising emotions.
“The two of them are now heading to a village in the countryside. I’m not sure what’s there, but it’s a village near the Palem plains.”
“Palem……?”
A place where the word “outside” in the kingdom can only be attached. There are no dangerous beasts nearby, but wild beasts often appear, so hunters from the outside often come.
The village of Palem, which was established by the established hunters, started making them for the first time.
“It’s my hometown.”
At my words, Adrina and Hayun suddenly turned their heads and looked at me. Without realizing it, I took a deep breath through my tightly clenched fists.
“And it’s also the hometown of Rin and Ares.”
When I found out that I was in the Demon Realm Forest, I threatened the witches with that gap and went to the village of Palem.
The shaman correctly figured out that Rin must have returned to her hometown since it was a vacation.
‘Besides, it wouldn’t have been difficult to know the location of the village because I had my memory.’
I was completely blown away.
I feel like my throat is clogged.
Even if you go to Palem right now, it will take at least ten days or more. The condition of the Great Witch is so dire, she can’t even use warp magic.
There was nothing she could do other than to roll her feet and hope that Rin was safe, but Adrina got up slowly and grabbed the wand of the Great Witch.
“I will send you there.”
“Is warp magic possible?”
I looked at her with hope and anticipation, but Adrina shook her head.
“No, it’s the first time. But I will.”
“It’s too dangerous!”
Ha-yoon came forward and shouted. Certainly, warp magic was very dangerous as the level of difficulty was high.
Basically, warp magic itself is difficult to practice, but in order to use it in earnest, numerous tests are required.
It is important to start moving objects first, move on to animals, and increase distance.
In the meantime, there were cases where it was shattered or moved to an unknown place where it could not be found at all.
It was too dangerous to use warp so suddenly.
“It’s okay though.”
I looked at the archwitch who was slowly collapsing. Even in a situation where her breath seemed to stop at any moment, it was Adrina that she tried to save until the end.
Even though there are bloodstains on Adrina’s forehead, seeing that she is fine now, the Archwitch must have healed her with the last remaining mana.
A girl designated by the great witch who has lived for a long time as her successor.
“I’ll believe you, please.”
I slowly reached out to Adrina, and she nodded with a smile of gratitude for her trust.
“I’ll make it, don’t worry.”
“Haaa, really!”
While scratching her head, Hayun put her hand on her hand with an expression that she didn’t like the two of us, who were strangely connected by a string of trust.
“I will go too.”

“Uh-huh, it looks like you’re too busy with the start of vacation.”
dark night.
The horse collapsed in the middle, so Ares Helias, who had been walking endlessly, wiped the sweat from his bangs.
Thanks to the power given by the god Helios, he was able to move comfortably with light even in the dark, so he was able to come, or he almost ended up camping.
It’s getting colder, but isn’t it good to go camping at dawn like this?
In addition, there were a lot of wild animals that could harm people in the Palem plains, so you could be in trouble while sleeping.
“Look at that, did I say Ares was here?”
“Ha, the younger brother called Oh didn’t come, and the nerdy one came.”
“too bad.”
Two girls waiting for Ares at the entrance of the village. Lynn, Dyna McClain and Sen. The three of them saw the light of Ares’s power and came out to meet them just in case.
“I didn’t expect to be very happy, but it’s a bit of a pain to be openly disappointed.”
Ares spoke as if it was sarcastic for nothing, but the two of them were already talking to each other without pretending to listen.
“When the hell is Daniel coming? Do you want to see her die because she cares about her older sister?”
“I asked you to trust and wait, so trust me a little. But you know how strong Daniel is.”
“That’s amazing. Obviously it wasn’t that great the last time I saw it, but where did you learn it?”
“I don’t know. Even though Daniel grew up after throwing away his timid personality, the breadth is too wide.”
“Weren’t you that strong from the beginning?”
“Not at all!”
“……”
Am I talking about the person who just came to town?
Ares missed his girlfriend Arni Duratan again.
Greetings from her hometown to her future father-in-law. Although he was a commoner, he had excellent grades at the academy and a dignified appearance that made many nobles chew on him.
In addition to that, the fact that he had the title of honorary paladin thanks to having the imprint of Helios in the previous Batian worked very well for his first impression.
In particular, she was able to leave a pretty good impression in the Duratan family, probably because she made Arni Duratan, who was rough and knew nothing but a sword, feminine.
On the last day, I miss that night when there wasn’t a single star floating on each other.
I had no choice but to come because Daniel MacLean had ordered me to stay with Rin, who had the imprint.
‘I wish I could start school right away.’
It was Ares Helias who wanted to go to the academy quickly.
“Ew, before I go to the border of the dragon, I want to meet you once.”
“I will come before then.”
Lin tries to comfort Dinah MacLean, who is feeling sorry for her, and goes back. As she watched her return home with Sen and Dyna, Ares followed, feeling a strange sense of dejection.
Koo!
the ground vibrates
The blue light pouring down from the sky without any warning brought unwanted vitality to the calm town.
The dogs raised by the villagers bark and the trees shake. People who have already gone to bed wake up one by one and stick their heads out the window.
“This……”
Starting with Ares, Lin and Dyna, who were standing in front of them, immediately turned their eyes.
The fact that the air current changes just by appearing means that dangerous beings have arrived. It wasn’t just the mood that made the whole town feel heavy.
A handless woman in a black priest’s uniform was staring at him with a terrifying force.
The pressure of a wolf beast full of scars dying next to him is enough to make a shaman laugh.
His eyes were blurry, his breathing was unstable, and his sharp appearance made him look much weaker than when he saw him in Nirva.
There was no one on the continent who could ignore Kulika because he was injured.
“Wake up all the villagers and tell them to run away.”
A mix of black and purple aura emanated from Rin’s chest. Seeing the power that began to sway her whole body at once.
The priestess laughed with her mouth torn apart.
“I found it.”
Dina felt her body shrink at the creepy smile. Because she had turned into a dragon, she became extremely sensitive in these animalistic senses, so I could tell.
The two in front are truly monsters.
Ares, Dyna, and Sen were of course willing to help.
Even so, I had no intention of asking Rin to deal with those monsters alone.
But before the three of them could speak, the thick darkness on the floor began to wriggle.
Something different from simply the darkness of the night, more viscous and endless. The darkness moves as if it is breathing with its own will.
Rin looked at Sen slowly and gave a bitter expression.
“I’m sorry, I’m going to hurt you a little.”
“uh?”
If possible, I didn’t want to show this kind of power in front of Sen.
Darkness arises.
Meanwhile, an army that has been engulfed in the darkness of a little girl named Rin rises.
Starting with Zavalanko and his men, a pirate executive who was executed for distributing narcotics and cigarettes to Elgrid.
The members of the fighting dogs and their subordinates that I saw at Vettel.
The members of the Reaper who were killed by Daniel in Batian.
Even Jesangt and his men whom we met in the contest this time.
Everyone stood on the ground again with their heads down and blind allegiance to a girl.
last.
Starting with the second-in-command of the Extermination Squad, the noble lady appears as if escorting Rin.
It signaled the beginning of a long, long night.
