Brienne moved through the crowd, completely killing her presence. Using the skills learned at the thieves’ guild, he carefully inspected the faces of passers-by.
‘Looking for a dangerous person… … .’
If you walk like this, you will see many human groups. From merchants who act energetically touting customers, to male prostitutes and prostitutes who wear provocative costumes to sell their bodies.
‘Honestly, there’s not much meaning in finding dangerous people inside ＜Leda Cable＞.’
Where is this place? Isn’t it the headquarters of the five thief guilds that dominate the empire?
In the event of an emergency, even five great swords selected from the thieves’ guild, namely Oh Bung-yeong, are dispatched.
And it’s also where she learned her skills as a child… … . As I recall vague memories, a thick bloody smell wafted from somewhere.
“… … ?”
As I kicked off the wall and climbed onto the roof, I saw the center of confusion. A couple of men and women were surrounded by 30 thieves.
─It’s them, it’s them!
—Those with swollen livers. Do you know where this place is and come here to do something?
At the captain’s question, the woman in the ominous dark blue robe laughed.
─A place where you can kill a lot of scumbags like you?
-This bastard… … .
The next moment, despite the fact that the thieves in charge of public order are by no means babbling… … Brienne doubted her eyes at the nightmare unfolding before her eyes.
——Ah, ah, aaa
-Buy, buy, save… … Aww!
I couldn’t believe it. How can so many people in one moment… … Just as she was about to return to the group and warn them of the danger, a bloodstained hand suddenly sprouted from her chest.
“sorry. All witnesses are shot to death.”
Where is this guy… … . Something hot or cold spread throughout the body.
The man in the dark blue robe pulled out his arm, and the weakly beating heart came out of his grip, dragging the long cardiovascular strands.
Brienne collapsed into a pool of her own blood. Before dying, the vitality cooled in the eyes that had not yet been detected.

It was around the time when a soldier brought the good news that the chaos began with tearing screams.
“You found it?”
Hirpien had an expression of doubting his ears. The soldier nodded his head.
“yes! Undoubtedly. It was very worn, but the phrase was clearly engraved on it.”
“How? relief? Intaglio?”
“It was negative.”
Hirpien covered her mouth with both hands in emotion, ran around kissing the cheek of the soldier who had brought her joy, then looked at Bardwell.
“Let’s go right now, Bardwell!”
“Of course, lady.”
Just as Willis and Lane were exchanging smiles, someone hurriedly ran beside them.
“T-You can’t go that way!”
It was Yanar, a wizard who supported the party in the highlands. However, his face was covered with cold sweat. Breathing was also difficult.
“What, why?”
“Now, right now, crazy things are coming from here and there… … I saw a gold-ranked adventurer die in one hit!”
that’s another nonsense Just as Willis laughed and told him not to play around, an eardrum-shattering scream resounded throughout the underground city.
─Ku, kuaaa!
And the moment I turned around, the whitening scene in my head was reflected in my retinas.
Dozens of people rise into the air as if caught on invisible hooks, and then are randomly crushed.
Ribs protruded from the mashing fat, and internal organs and vomit rained down.
The underground city turned into a frenzied chaos in an instant. The panic-stricken people began to scream and run away.
‘That’s… … .’
Lane swallowed a dry saliva.
My heart was beating like crazy. A myriad of information was messing around in my head.
‘The telekinesis? no, no… … Telekinesis plus such brutal killing power… … .’
The correct answer had already been decided the moment we witnessed its power, but the conclusion was delayed due to denying the reality.
‘Dark magic.’
Was the warlock after me? I watched the Queen incident, why are you here now? Did you wait for it to get away from ＜Delayten＞?
“No, it’s dangerous over there!”
“Then I will go alone. Bardwell, take all the guards and withdraw first. I’ll be back soon by myself.”
“No, lady. Please let me stay by your side until the end!”
“do not say that! I have no intention of putting everyone in danger because of my insistence. And if we all move together, it’s rather conspicuous and dangerous.”
When I came to my senses with a deep breath, the party was arguing among the crowd running in reverse. Hirpien puffed out her chest, saying not to worry.
“Who am I? He said he was the one who reached the brass rank by himself. don’t worry.”
“That’s right, yes, I see, where are the guards going? If the young lady dies, all those people might be beheaded in the family.”
Willis sneered. The turmoil had grown so intense that it was impossible to communicate without shouting.
“If that’s the case, I’ll go.”
I opened my mouth while taking a breath. In an instant, attention was focused on Lane.
While Willis was scolding as if asking why he was lighting candles, Hirpien seemed moved by the appearance of a powerful ally.
‘Don’t look at me like that. The thing I hate the most here is this body… … .’
But didn’t Hirpien buy a book worth seven gold coins instead? He said it was an investment in relationships. I’ll have to pay for it… … After all, it’s just paying the debt.
“I have to go alone. To be honest, if you follow me, it will only get in the way.”
Only one soldier who knows the location of the music box needs to accompany it. But Hirpien shook his head.
“I have to go too.”
“Dangerous. Just give me the money.”
The merchant may have already fled, but perhaps he will have to pay a price.
“I’m sorry, I know it’s my ignorance. But I have to go because I need to make sure it’s real or not.”
What shines in Hirpien’s eyes is the will to never back down… … No matter how much I tried to convince him, it would be a waste of time.
“Okay, then follow me carefully.”
“I’ll stand by your side too… … Because we have a contract to do so.”
As Yanar joined Hirpien, spearman Willis stepped forward, scratching his head in irritation with a sigh.
“Such a teenager! If that’s the case, then I’m the only one who’s going to be a bad man. okay! let’s go, go! You just need to pack your things and get out quickly!”
After breaking through the frenzy to some extent, from a certain moment, only gloomy silence fell.
A frightened soldier led the way with heavy breathing, while Willis ran ahead, reading the enemy’s signs and choosing a detour.
And when I finally turned the last corner pointed out by the soldier… … The brutally mutilated corpses were strewn across the streets. A swarm of flies was already buzzing ferociously.
“Woo-wook… … .”
“Is this right? here?”
Rain watched in silence as Hirpien’s eyes darkened with despair. Then Willis overturned one of the corpses with his feet.
“It’s still alive.”
It was stained red with blood, but that impression was clearly that of the guards of the Dial family. Hirpien sighed and ran towards it.
“What is it, Jackie? are you okay?”
“Ah, lady… … Sin, sorry… … .”
Then, with trembling fingers, he held out to Hirpien what he was holding dearly in his arms.
“Lord, when the master runs away… … Uh, how could I just… … But my blood is so stained… … .”
Lane could see blue-black miasma wriggling from a deep wound on the guard’s chest, rotting the surrounding flesh black.
It is a product of black magic, dark poison.
Since the heart is beginning to be eroded by the dark poison, that guard disease is… … I can’t live no matter what As Hirpien accepted the music box, he began to sob.
“Hey, no time to cry!”
Willis tore off his clothes and quickly wrapped them around the soldier’s wounds, then lifted them over his shoulders. Then a muddy shadow fell over her head.
“What, are there still so many left?”
It was a woman’s voice full of mischief. But the power of magical power mixed with that voice… … . Lane instinctively stepped forward.
“I’ll take care of this, so get out of here.”
“What are you talking about, like—”
“—I’ll take care of it, so go quickly!”
My heart started beating. As if engraving the traces of the last life, clearly and intensely… … . Now, just one mistake leads to death.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt a magical killing spirit as if a knife was being pointed right in front of my eyes.
Fighting against such a monster while protecting someone is quite difficult with Rain’s current body. The woman’s eyes curved like crescent moons.
“Am I in charge? I hear everything. Is the kid looking down on me?”
In an instant of intense silence, the distance between the two was about 12 meters. A cold sweat broke out on Lane’s forehead.
That moment.
Dark blue poison condensed into the shape of a scythe in the woman’s grip, and she swung it loudly with a laugh.
“Chao’s karma wandering in the air, Lu’s name. Perform the dance of slaughter here and now, according to Libenny’s order.”
High-speed chanting of 2-star magic… … !
The Witches of the Republic, who use witchcraft, have used the Word Spirit to bestow the power of runes on everything and create miracles.
Jing, the runes of Zhao (助) and Lu (樓) rose in the air, scattering light, and the next moment, a wave of intense power rushed in.
“Establish magic square, 2 stars.”
The shape of the magic square is a square and a triangle.
The runes engraved are Wa (渦) and Du (阧).
A combination of earth attribute magic and fire attribute magic
‘Wah (渦: whirlpool)’,
Gives the trait of ‘head (阧: soaring)’.
‘Huh, ultra-high-speed calculation of 2-star magic?’
The moment Liebeni’s eyes widened with curiosity and bewilderment.
Coo-gu-gu-gu-gu—-!
The ground seemed to rise like a barrier, and then flames swirled around it.
From noble mtl dot com
The wave of magical power amplified by black magic and the wall of flame collided with each other, causing a storm with sharp screams. A storm that cracks the ground around you, shatters windows, and tears your skin.
In that storm, a scythe made of miasma and a staff reinforced with magic collided dozens of times, emitting a harsh metal sound.
By the time the fog cleared due to the reverberations of successive shocks, Liveni and Rain glared at each other and blinked their eyes in amazement.
‘Osarius style stick technique… … Are you Osarius’ idiot?’
‘This guy, the way he uses the scythe… … It’s the same as my bongsul.’
You belong to the Osarius School, did you learn black magic?
No, in that case I would have to use magic, not sorcery… … . In any case, what has been clearly proven is that there is no chance of winning in close combat.
I’m at best overpowered, but if I get hit by that bastard’s scythe even once… … Such is the fear of black magic.
“Are you very strong?”
A woman named Riveri said it was fun.
Lane took a deep breath.
Stay focused. I felt the power of the rune throbbing in my left hand wrapped in bandages.
‘If you use the power of this image here and now, surely… … .’
Seeing an opportunity, he was about to take off the glove on his left hand, but Liveni pulled back the hood. The moment I saw the face revealed in it, my thoughts stopped.
“uh… … ?”
His featureless dark brown curls were much longer than he remembered, but his folksy features and freckles scattered around his nose were exactly the same.
‘No, how could this be… … .’
I really couldn’t explain it, but to put it mildly, that guy’s appearance… … It was so much the same.
the old me… … So with ‘Lin’.
To be precise, it should be the same as when she was forcibly dressed as a woman by Lista and Friede in the past.
‘hallucination… … ?’
No, Bel Sidious’ light is now connected to perception. That is an undeniable reality. Mouth muttered blankly.
“I say… … ?”
