Episode 8
A magician’s workshop full of monster corpses and the smell of rotting corpses.
Someone’s sobbing was heard.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
bubbling-
A mysterious potion, a pile of scattered organs. Bodies tied up. All of that stimulates the nerves.
“Why, why, Mom! Mom! uh… .”
“This is all… . Residents… ?”
“Allen! Young Ji-min could no longer be found. Allen. Allen?”
Woowook.
From whom am I speaking?
Rescued Young Ji-min? Or are they soldiers? How can these soldiers be so weak? .
“Wow… .”
oh it was me
As soon as you realize it, nausea rises.
terrible smell.
Sobbing and gruesome scene.
Mom, someone screaming for Mom.
who is this time
A nerve-wracking sound filled the room.
The world is spinning.
“Allen? If you’re okay… .”
Shut up.
You will need to catch your breath for a while.
I blinked my eyes.
Once, twice, then.
“… uh?”
someone saw
“I will kill you. monsters. bad bastards. Dogs.”
An eerie, deaf expression and poisonous eyes.
she came Blood-stained eyes stared at me terrifyingly.
“Sir. I want revenge on the monster.”
What do you mean by looking at me? I mean don’t come.
I wasn’t leaving the mansion to disturb him.
“So, please. I will kill all the monsters in this world.”
why did you go
I should have just done magic research.
okay. Magic, yes, I have to use magic to save my brother.
squeak-
Again, someone came in.
I ran towards the door I recognized now.
I have to go back to the mansion.
As I was running, I heard a noise from behind.
“… Mr. Us. accept me… .”
“Oh, red… .”
As I ran faster, I couldn’t hear any more.
He has a lot of hidden grotesque abilities.
So it’s hard to compete head-on.
There was nothing but magic, magic.
“Hurry up to the mansion… . uh?”
“Sir. Please accept me.”
she looked
The sky and the earth were turned upside down.
My room is full of old books and the smell of ink.
Your own laboratory.
my sanctuary.
it’s safe here Unlike the magician’s workshop, there is nothing dangerous.
No, if you leave the room, it will be a mansion. Is there anything dangerous?
After a moment of relief, I decided to leave the room at the sound of a murmur outside.
As we dragged our feet towards the entrance, the smell of a corpse wafted out.
“uh?”
A shattered body appeared.
With dark black hair and dazzling purple eyes sewn, a deaf face.
the world has flowed
“I didn’t mean to do this.”
sorry. sorry… . Whoops.
Nausea came out.
A terrible smell pierced his nostrils.
Mom. Mom.
Another sobbing was heard.
I saw her through the shards of the shattered mirror.
go away. I have to survive.
uhhh
“Your brother, we need to save you.”
With his bloody arms tied, he tried to ignore the sobbing in his ear.
I opened the magic book again.
As always.
It’s been 3 days since I left the house.
The road was not inconvenient due to the well-maintained road used from the ancient empire.
There were no chariots engraved with the countess’ pattern, and there were no crazy thieves to touch the horde escorted by 100 soldiers, so they moved comfortably overall.
A time when the silence of dawn and the bustle of the servants preparing breakfast in advance coexist.
Allen greeted the guards and took the sword.
With his sword, he headed to the nearby riverbank.
Even if he returned, he suddenly had no aptitude for swords. I can only do the simple moves I learned for self-defense.
No, I’m not used to that, so even if anyone catches a wandering soldier, he’ll be better than himself.
Still, the reason he was holding the sword was simple.
‘Because it’s not enough.’
he lacks
Of course, it could be said that he had talent just by entering magic.
But compared to my brother?
‘It always was.’
There is no difference compared to Kim Woo-jin, who is not his younger brother.
I don’t know about talent.
However, he always devours abilities and magic that he does not know where he learned it, and the elixir that he cannot save even if he collects his family’s fortune.
According to rumors, even if they fall into danger, they miraculously survive and become stronger through that opportunity.
If you are blocked by a wall, old men who have appeared out of nowhere will help you, and even if the enemies devise a plan, you will get out at some point.
‘Is there any protection from the fallen gods?’
A move like a hero in the story to the extent that such a question is raised.
Since he himself has future information, he will be able to follow his footsteps.
‘If we follow along like that, can we get better results?’
I do not know.
But shouldn’t we have to make a shallow struggle to catch up with him?
‘… I just have to get it related to the sword.’
Whoo!
swung his sword
It was straight down and cut horizontally. Cut diagonally, then turn, then diagonally on the opposite side.
Would just the basics be enough?
The sword was strengthened.
– Boo-woong!
emotions were put The tip of the sword shook unstable.
Just because of the nightmare I had the night before?
Allen remembered.
The incident that happened in Hibel before the return.
What happened there was more serious than what was reported to his father.
Every day people are kidnapped.
Young Ji-min packed his belongings and left the village and moved to the safest city in the outer fortress, and the lord of Hibel showed off his incompetence and did not take proper measures.
Accidents continue to occur because of Young Ji-min who entered the city, and the soldiers were unable to leave the city because of the worsening security.
Allen remembered what he had done there.
‘Under the name of saving my brother, I… .’
My arm trembled.
twisted blow. The disorganized sword strike made a dull pounding sound without being able to cut through the air. raise the sword again.
‘It interfered with everything Julius was doing.’
If he set up an irrational method, it was blocked on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence.
It was only now that I found out that the operation was made with abilities including the [Quest Window] that I learned through the Black Book… .
‘So what will change?’
Would he have acted differently if he had that kind of ability back then?
couldn’t figure it out
However, the result would be no different.
Many residents died.
The chimeras will kill and kidnap millions of villagers, and in a few days hundreds of chimeras will come.
as the guy said.
A city that is not prepared will suffer a lot of damage, and in the process of taking control, Julius will solve it perfectly and become the hero of the city.
That would be all that was listed in the book.
‘therefore.’
Why do you feel bad about looking at the past you want to forget? Because of a stupid mistake? Do you have any regrets?
All right.
He acted swayed by his emotions, he was stupid. Thinking of a dead person because of that would be proof of regret as well.
In the end, what did you see at the Chimera Workshop?
A girl who lost her parents? Parents who have lost their children? A young man whose lover has been kidnapped?
What am I for, why? For some reason, so.
‘To save my brother… It was.’
In the end, it is the origin.
For that reason, he did a lot of things as a shield.
‘Are you going to do the same again this time?’
Without using magic power, pure strength.
The sword was heavy. Was it really that heavy? The twist forces force on the joint.
Even if something happened that never happened again, it didn’t go away from his fault.
As such, he is the Grand Prince of Count Reinhardt and also,
‘As Julius’ older brother.’
He didn’t want to hide behind the cause of saving his brother.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if I could not solve this problem and meet my younger brother?
Even if it is something that has not happened before, if you neglect the work before the return, you cannot move forward.
Wasn’t that the reason why I had to go here this time?
to tie yourself up.
To be aware of your current position and take responsibility.
‘I can save my brother.’
I don’t think of the possibility.
Even if he returned, would he be able to deal with him? No, I’m not sure if he’ll ever get his brother back.
How can I know if my brother will come back just because I kill him?
‘Now I have to admit it.’
brother is dead
To be precise, the soul of the younger brother did not exist in Julius’ body.
One of the types of magic he uses is the soul, and there is no reason not to look for it from the beginning. Now, I can check it without him noticing.
Of course, after realizing the return, I immediately looked for it.
‘My brother’s soul is gone.’
It seems like it has really disappeared.
If only I could find my brother’s soul, he would have found a way to save his body somehow.
There was no trace of it, as if he had to admit his brother’s death now.
However.
“Your brother is definitely somewhere.”
There was certainty.
It was only after death that I heard the words.
A voice calling out to kill someone.
My brother’s desperate cry.
I’m proving that my brother is alive.
So I couldn’t stop getting my brother back. Even if there is a slight possibility, how can I give up?
‘However… .’
If he tries to climb to a place out of his reach.
No matter how you struggle, if the distance with him doesn’t close.
‘No more.’
– tap
Steps become lighter
The steps I took seemed to match the beat, and the tip of the sword went straight with an organized mind.
‘I will not hesitate any longer.’
The search for the soul of the younger brother does not stop.
But if the possibility is dim and you can’t catch it like that celestial star.
If his growth requires a price I don’t want to assume.
‘I will kill him to honor my brother’s soul.’
