“Before I kill you, I have a few questions for you.”
A creepy and unpleasant magic that I feel like I’ve felt somewhere before… … Why do you feel a sense of deja vu?
It’s the guy I saw at the wall.
Judging from her white skin, she was an imperial citizen, but it was strange that she still had a smirking smile on her face after being captured by me.
“The fact that the ruse was carried out in the north… … And it was all of you who made the Republic the way it is now, right?”
“you?”
“You wouldn’t have lived that long alone.”
According to Arakish, the duke took about 500 years.
“Huh, heh heh heh heh heh. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t even know magic magic yet, so he’s naive. And a ruse? Hmm, chicks these days just play a little and call it a ruse, don’t they?”
Miria approached cautiously, as if on guard, but Aki was holding him tightly by the shoulder and crouching down.
“What are you talking about. Making the Republic look like this?”
“Let’s talk a little longer. Anyway, it’s probably this son of a b*tch who ended the Republic and created the era of the Seven Commandments, Six Gates, or something.”
“This great senior’s name isn’t ‘this son of a b*tch’, it’s Xernix. It’s a little different from a thousand years ago when Ryuken killed me, but I’m still alive.”
“what… … Xernix?”
For an instant, perception caused disharmony.
did i hear something wrong?
No, but he definitely added. The back story like putting together the framework of a puzzle. Miria asked if she was puzzled by my reaction.
“Zernix, do you know who it is?”
“Zernix… … He was a genius wizard who rose to the position of a great wizard at the age of 22, but he has been dead for over a thousand years.”
“You have to speak straight, junior. I reached the level of 5 stars when I was 19. And take a good look at the history books. I’m not dead, I’m counting as missing.”
“gibberish. If you’re the real Xernix, how the hell are you still alive?”
“hehehehe, that damned old man, your proud ancestor Ryuken Ludwig killed my body once, but the abyss must have valued me highly, so my brain revived like this.”
It was a story that made no sense.
That’s also true, because Ryuken and Zernix are famous for being master and disciple.
But you said you were killed by Ryuken once?
“The Black Church benefited from having good power, and it worked well for me. I couldn’t be a b*tch because I was learning magic. Now that I bought it with a little bit of trepidation, I should be able to close my eyes because I feel regretful.”
“That’s bad… … .”
When Miria spoke in a pathetic voice, he laughed. I said.
“Prove it. That you are Xernix.”
“Proof, proof, proof.”
As Fifi landed on Lane’s head, a secret glow shimmered in Xernix’s eyes.
Weird… … .
Is this sun parrot the same as the sun parrot at that time? no, that’s impossible There is no existence that can enjoy eternal life without reaching out into the abyss.
“Immediately after my resurrection, the Black Church recruited me and entrusted me with an operation mission. I say big things, but all I did was give him a little shove on the back.”
“What lights?”
“So that those who want to hold power can seize power, and those who want to make money can make money… … It wasn’t too difficult. It took less than 100 years for this to happen.”
Miria replied in a shocked voice.
“Impossible. The shrine maidens would have stopped it.”
“It’s not a big deal to control the shrine maidens. Although Friede, who was s*xy smoking a cigarette, was as tough as when he was a shaman, it was just as tough as when he was with the Fire Dragon.”
“Shut that mouth.”
“Shut up, shut up, shut up.”
Both Miria and Aki flinched when Rain and Pippy suddenly let out a cold voice that made their eardrums tingle.
But regardless of whether or not he did, Xernix continued to talk.
“The Republic of Yongin was founded on the belief that humans, like the gods, realized the value of freedom and harmony. What the fire dragon didn’t know was that human nature is ugly. Unlike the gods.”
“… … .”
“The shrine maidens would have stopped me? Heh, the Tureina that you guys praise as great is also on my palm? He said he wanted to wake up the frozen kid, so I helped him a little, and he immediately flipped his eyeballs and learned black magic.”
The moment those words came out, I felt my body stiffen.
It felt like silence was settling in the world, even though the guy who called himself Zernix in front of him was talking nonsense without getting tired.
breathing becomes increasingly difficult Blood does not flow through the head. His body moves wildly and grabs him by the collar.
“What bullsh*t is that? what is tourena? Learn black magic to wake up a frozen kid?”
His physical eyes were looking at him, but his mind’s eyes were looking at the girl with azure hair, hidden in the echoes of his soul.
It was the moment when the doubt, not the doubt that had been buried deep in his heart since meeting Liveni, reared its head.
Still impossible in my head, he’s dead… … Only the thought wandered around.
“Miko is also human. You succumbed to your instincts. The time of chaos that will soon wake up in his hands will rule the Akrad continent.”
“Answer my question, you now—”
“—As a great senior, I will give you a lesson. The only time a wizard’s tongue grows long is when he’s preparing something.”
Heh, the lower body of Xernix, who laughed with only the shape of his mouth, bizarrely expanded the next moment and stood up as a tentacle of dark matter.
At some point, the chain of Jeseo-Saeran-yeon was broken, it’s a 5-star magic.
When Miria horrified and instinctively sensed a sense of danger, stepped back and reached for the hilt, the tentacles had already pierced the helmet’s faceplate halfway.
“I’ve been reading all your shallow numbers for a while now, son of a b*tch.”
In an instant, blinding white heat exploded to the point of burning my retinas, and the source of the loathsome tentacles burned up without leaving a trace in the fire light charge.
As soon as the power was cut off, the tentacles that came in front of the eyes drooped without power, and soon crumbled into countless particles of negativity.
At that time, the boy took a deep breath as he looked at the sparks and ashes that scattered all over his field of vision.
‘I don’t feel good… … The Darkness, which manipulated the wall for 500 years, caused Alakish to die and divided the Republic, died so easily?’
It was not only this that was ominous.
Turaina got her hands on dark magic to save the frozen kid? And you taught me that?
“Miria, where is the priestess of the North Republic now?”
Perhaps it was a sudden question, Miria looked bewildered, but soon answered seriously.
“I don’t know exactly. Wouldn’t it be in one of the three big cities?”
Among the seven large cities, the following three are located in the Northern Republic, that is, on the continent of Akrad.
From noble mtl dot com
The Blue City, ＜Tervenopl＞.
The Blue City, ＜Aristapho＞.
The Purple City, ＜Aurelinople＞.
It was the closest to her current location, and according to Miria, the place where the priestess Yuliana usually stayed was ＜Aurelinople＞ located in the middle of the Great River Belisor.
If it were a shrine maiden, if it was Yuliana who was Tureina’s disciple, she would know something.
“Then let’s break up here. I’m going to ＜Aurelinople＞. You get paid when those witches wake up here.”
don’t know when you’ll wake up
Didn’t he say that the commander-in-chief of the wall was still in a state of unconsciousness?
Of course, it was a 5-star spirit of possession, and there is a difference of 3 stars, probably because it had to control the entire village, but I can’t afford to wait for that.
‘I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t regretful to break up.’
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask and a lot of things I wanted to know. Is it really Rista’s reincarnation, or is it just a resemblance?
But now it’s done… … .
said Friede. I don’t want to fill the shackles of the past to me who has to live a new life. But now I think like this.
‘If the real Lista was revived… … As long as he’s alive somewhere, that’s enough.’
It would be greedy to want more than that. Above all, I don’t remember if it’s real, so there’s no big difference whether it’s real or fake, and I don’t want to take it to a dangerous place.
“no.”
When I approached to hand over Aki, instead of willingly handing over Aki, Miria ran ahead of me and walked toward the floating pier where the riverboat was anchored.
“I will go too.”
what… … As I blankly questioned myself, Miria looked back at me over her shoulder.
The eyes through the cracks in the shattered face armor were as cold as always, but it felt slightly softer than usual.
“I have something to check. And just being taken advantage of and just going back like this? I can’t do anything because I’m embarrassed.”

Somewhere on the continent of Adreon, where the polar heat pours down and wind vanes turn with a desolate, dry sound in a sandstorm.
In the age of the abyss, a young man who was sitting cross-legged in front of a folding screen with an eerie Albrazm-style painting took off his eyepatch with seven pupils in a triangle.
At the same time, the marionette placed in front of the altar over there was split into five pieces and burned.
‘That guy is several times stronger than the last time we met… … The strange thing is that his fighting style is very similar to that of the little boy named Rin from before.’
Hey, how are you?
I wish I could be stronger than I am now.
That’s how you’ll be able to enjoy it to the fullest when you take away that body, that bastard Ryuken’s green body with eyes open.
‘still… … With just that level of skill, Turaina will kill you, so will your growth end there?’
Should I say that the compatibility is bad?
Heh, sooner or later we’ll know the results. no matter which one dies.
Let’s wait happily while doing the work that the old woman has entrusted to us.
* * *
In the southeastern part of the Red Mountains, Shinhwabong, the highest and most noble peak, was shrouded in night fog.
Hundreds of years after the Red Dragon Legion left the mountain range, the peak, which boasted of noble beauty for those years, decayed as the soil itself decayed and all the oak trees that covered the area rotted away.
The roots and branches of such trees bizarrely intertwined, creating creepy shapes like tumors all over the ground.
At the shrine of the temple located at the end of the cliff, there was a beltar god stone that burned brighter and hotter than the original flame. In the long history of the Republic, shamans have received revelations from the Fire Dragon through this divine stone.
But now, as the shaman with a hat standing in front of him began to recite an unknown incantation, something filthy inside the Beltar Godstone boiled like a pulsating, and the stone turned dark blue.
“All the dark witches of ＜Vetri＞ serve you, Navoriak, one of the Queen of Time’s trio.”
Soon, a mad color shimmered on the surface of the god stone.
It was three eyeballs.
There is not a single light shining through… … The three disgustingly torn eyeballs flashed bright yellow inside the god stone, and an absolute voice flowed into the target’s brain, not their ears.
「Bal surudui gun de kan… … Alas, the hour is at hand when all eyes will be opened… … .」
“Please tell me.”
“Now that the time has come to wake up the sleeping time… … The day the light disappears… … Lay the blood of light on the queen’s altar… … On that day, the veil of lies was lifted… … The dreams of your destiny will come true, Doha, buretaris… … .」
As Turena, a priestess wearing an old hat, held a smoking pipe in her mouth, the color of delirium that shimmered in the godstone soon faded.
Only then did the man who was standing on the other side of the pillar of the temple walk. He was wearing a dark blue robe and his face was covered with a sonorous iron mask.
Unusually, the left arm was not a human arm, but it had the shape of an arm wriggling with a dark light.
“What command did the three eyes give?”
Turaina didn’t answer for a moment or a long time. In the thoughts that fill my head.
Rin’s body that will be given as the price of resurrection, no, it will be returned to the state where the soul was… … As soon as I confirm that Master is alive, I will seal it immediately.
It’s because I’ve been waiting for such a long time to prepare that ceremony. From the moment I learned black magic to save my master.
“Summon all the dark witches scattered across the continent. I need to prepare for the ceremony in earnest.”
“The meaning of consciousness is… … However, I still haven’t received a call from 4, 5, and 7 that they have secured Jinryong’s body.”
“You just do what I tell you to do. Jinryong’s body is nothing to worry about. Because I will go there myself.”
