“What kind of bullshit, now that.”
For a moment, a voice that was so sharp that I was surprised by myself leaked out from between my lips.
Sbengali said in a calm voice, as if soothing me.
[Really. I’m not saying that woman isn’t human. It’s good to be excited, but wouldn’t it be better to listen to my story first and then decide whether to get excited or not?]
“So you’re asking what kind of bullshit that is now.”
I can’t help but be excited to hear such a thing.
However, in the very next moment, I was able to regain my composure as if cold water had been poured on the words that followed.
[From that woman… It was weak, but traces of the Seven Evils were found.]
“… What?”
[Don’t rush. No smell or energy. traces. Any trace.]
Sbengali told me over and over again to calm down.
[I know you are ignoring me implicitly, but… Even if it rots, it is Junchi. I was also a member of the Seven Evil Orders. And each had their own specialties. In my case, besides controlling the human mind and spirit, I had other specialties.]
“what is that. Are you making fun of your mouth and teasing your opponent?”
[Sensing and chasing traces. And fairy tales.]
Sbengali continued as if she had not heard my ridicule.
[You will also remember that I implanted the World Tree into my body without difficulty. I can assure you that no other Seven Evil species other than me could do that. After I was born, I assimilated through fine tuning with the world tree, and cleverly came out and unified the saplings with the passes… .]
“That’s okay, tell me the point!”
Sbangali whispered at my words.
[You are now unconsciously using your powers. It sounds like your mind is very shaky. Calm down. No matter what you say now, you won’t be able to take it soberly.]
He hurriedly put his hand to his cheek.
Then I really felt the hard, cold touch of the wood.
As he was trying to calm himself down somehow, Sbangali began to speak.
[…] Take a deep breath and listen. It doesn’t mean that your friend has anything to do with the Seven Devils, or that he or she has suffered something from the Seven Seven Stars. It literally means that only traces remain.]
I didn’t respond or grab his tail.
If you did, you wouldn’t be able to advance the story.
[Literally, it means that we met by chance. Simply put… Okay, let’s take Margot as an example. Do you remember when he was the leader of a group of criminals believed to be the Red Case? And, of course, there must have been a human who raised his hand. That person was walking down the street and happened to eat at the same restaurant as you. Then I can scan the traces of Margot from you. The traces I felt from that woman were that much.]
Sbengali immediately faltered.
[No, not even that much… very, very light So, to be honest, I was very puzzled.]
“… So, you mean, Sooyoung must have happened to meet people related to the Seven Musical Orders. Is that what it is?”
The story wasn’t as big as I thought it would be.
I wanted to be relieved with that thought, but Sbangali shattered my expectations.
[It would be normal. In fact, if it had been like that, I wouldn’t have even talked to you. that is… I mean.]
He mumbled as if it was difficult to speak.
[Considering the extinction method, the traces I found on her must have been mine, dry, or Ariman’s. But that’s not the case, so that’s the problem.]
“… Please explain in detail.”
[The energy of the Chilak Bell for the first time. However, it was not difficult to discern whose turbid energy belonged to it. It was Milited’s energy. But, I assure you, Milited’s seal hasn’t been broken at all. It’s perfectly sealed, like a very tight seal.]
He knows even if he doesn’t say that.
Minerva, Juno, Venus, and Milited.
The fact that the seals of these four had not been released, I knew best than anyone else.
[The time is not right. Buried from Milited’s family? If so, it must have been something I would know and remember. A dragon, a lich, or a vampire… However, in that case, their own traces would be buried in the traces, and they would have noticed it right away. I swear by my name, it is a human who bears the traces of Milited who came into contact with her.]
“… … .”
I had no choice but to remain silent.
[I could feel your powers being strengthened. But, but in the end… Your powers aren’t strengthened in that way just by listening to a few words of advice. It sounds like she has something. And to you too. Something you don’t even know.]
“What is that… .”
The only thing that came to mind was that Han Soo-young was closer to the ‘main character’ than Choi Hyun-woo.
But it was too absurd to be the reason.
Then, suddenly, the fact that Milited was obsessed with the pendant I was carrying crossed my mind.
no way… .
[Then, the feelings that the woman had for you. It’s actually unconscious… It’s as if I’ve known you for years… .]
“Sbengali.”
[Uhm?]
I called out the name of the guy who was muttering to myself and took out the pendant.
“Do you know what this is?”
[Well… Oh, is it the pendant that Milited was obsessed with?]
“Look closely. don’t you know anything Do you know anything or feel nothing?”
[Well… .]
Sbangali let out a sound that seemed to have been contemplating for a long time.
Just in case, I even made a part of his body materialized by weaving a world tree.
But despite such efforts, his eyes slowly shook from side to side as if shaking his head.
[I don’t know. … I can tell that the energy of me and Margo is purified inside, but I really don’t know anything about it.]
“Feel more closely.”
When I brought it right in front of the guy’s eyes, his eyes fluttered for a moment, and he retreated back.
“Ariman, can’t you feel his aura? Milted or him?”
[…] I can’t feel it as much as the tip of my hair. In particular, Ariman and Milited have such a unique energy that you can recognize them. I wouldn’t have noticed if that woman named Soo-Young Han was also a trace of a Seven Evil species other than Milited.]
“okay… .”
I nodded.
As soon as I put the pendant in, Svengali said to me, rolling her eyes.
[It’s funny that I speak up and change the topic like this, but how about talking about Minerva first?]
“What?”
[Is that right? He’ll wake up in a few days, so how the hell are you going to deal with him?]
“… What were you listening to when I was explaining to the kids?”
[Do you know that I am in a state of awakening every day?]
Sbengali said to me as if rather frustrated.
[After being attached to your body, I also have a biorhythm similar to that of a human. You need a certain amount of sleep to be able to function normally. And apparently, I was in a state of sleep at that time.]
“You are very proud of the subject you are asking for.”
I grunted and put the pendant back.
But the truth is, I was thinking about when to ask him.
… Regarding the plan, he had been discussing with other children many times and making revisions and supplements.
In particular, I talked with Ivan for a long time, and in terms of strategy, there would be no one who could follow Ahn Do-hoon, but compared to him, Ivan was the one who had a vision that would not be hard to beat.
However, the plan we devised was nothing more than a human point of view.
Maybe he’ll find a blind spot that we haven’t been able to find.
“First, let me explain the situation. Before Minerva’s subjugation battle begins, the surrounding area will be under control, and once the Aegis unfolds, you will not be able to get out or enter unless there is a separate means. Of course, Minerva would be able to physically destroy Aegis. But people like Sip Kang won’t give you time for that.”
[and?]
“At that time, I, who put everyone in the shadows, broke through the barrier and entered. If you hide everyone in the shadows, the mana consumption will be extreme… There is no other way to get through the barrier opened by Aegis.”
[I’m listening. Please continue to explain.]
“When I passed the barrier, I let everyone out except for Yesul, and I headed straight to Minerva. Using the seeds of the world tree planted in advance and the king of thorns, he catches the boy’s attention, and at the right time, Ye-seul escapes and injures him. Then Minerva’s powers will disappear… What.”
I nodded.
“From then on, it was a melee battle.”
[Can I ask you two questions?]
“What?”
[He’s hiding that woman in the shadows… Wouldn’t the mana be depleted quickly? Minerva is not something that can be dealt with while leaving some room to spare. And putting someone else in the shadows, I knew it was impossible for you.]
“In the case of Yeseul, even in my shadow, mana was not consumed at all. The opposite was also true.”
Perhaps Henir’s shadows share the same world or something like that.
To be honest, it was my first time doing something like this, so it was difficult to draw a proper conclusion.
[Then what next?]
“Do you remember that game machine before? I was gently raising drugs to give you a reward if I killed you.”
[…] … .]
Sbengali did not answer.
Instead of talking, I also replaced the story by raising the status window.
The status window was engraved with ‘the most useful thing for me right now’, which was given as a reward by the existence beyond the game console at that time.
And it was, as it said, the most useful thing for me right now.
[skill]
Synchronization (unique/special)
[Effect][Active]
You can temporarily unite yourself with the target by pouring your mana and energy into the target you come in contact with.
Short and concise explanation.
And, as is often the case with these things, the shorter and simpler the explanation, the stronger the power.
Henir’s shadow moved once while explaining to the guy about the newly acquired skill.
“I’ve already done all the tests. If I pour my magic power into it, it becomes one with me… To put it simply, it seemed to be recognized as a part of my body. All of them were able to go into the shadows, they were mobile and there were no restrictions on using other abilities.”

Of course, the mana consumption was more severe than usual.
However, while thinking that it was a penalty that had to be endured, Sbangali spoke up.
[I can only give you two pieces of advice.]
“What?”
[First, first of all, don’t use that technique often. Of course, you can use it when you need it, but… Frequent synchronization will have bad results for you and your co-workers.]
Do you remember what I synchronized with you when I tried to steal your mind?
At his words, I couldn’t help but nod my head.
[Next to the second.]
The boy muttered quietly.
[You, do you know that Minerva was so feared because of her power alone?]
Sbengali said to me in a voice that seemed to be sincere.
[Even if he doesn’t have power, he’s a disaster.]
Please keep this in mind.
After saying that, the boy shut his mouth.
It was as if he had said everything he had to say.
and the next morning.
Finally, a response came from one of the seeds I had planted.
It meant that Minerva’s seal had begun to be broken.
* * *
“This is spectacular.”
Someone approached and talked to Lee Myung-jun, who was sitting with a trident in his arms.
An Asian man with a tattoo on his face with a dragon’s mouth open.
It was Li Wuwei, who is called the incarnation of the female dragon.
He looked up at the huge stone statue and murmured.
“I tried everything to break this down.”
He looked as if his feelings were new.
From simple heavy equipment to dynamite, heroes and hunters using highly destructive techniques, tossing them into the deep sea or into lava… .
There really wasn’t anything I hadn’t done.
However, there was no way to make a scratch on that stone statue.
“I didn’t know that I would wake up and fight this in my life.”
“Wow.”
“why.”
“You have to take on the most dangerous role.”
At Lee Myung-jun’s words, he giggled with boiling sputum.
“know. you do it.”
“… sorry.”
“Baby, you’re shivering for fear that he’s not a creepy-looking guy.”
At Lee Myung-joon’s apology, he giggled and burst into laughter.
Even though they carried the same name as the Ten Rivers, there was implicitly a relationship between them to some extent.
And the only person who thought Li Wuwei was above him was Lee Myung-jun.
Therefore, even though he was asked to take on a role that was nothing more than suicide, he accepted it without saying a word because it was Lee Myung-joon’s request.
“If that’s the case, everyone risk their lives for what it is.”
Starting with the world tree clan, the number of people selected only by the elites of each guild reached a whopping 100.
Wu Wei thought passing by, wondering if it was a power that he thought would be able to overthrow any country in a slang word.
“Everyone has no complaints. You can tell by looking at each of them sitting silently waiting for time, right?”
However, most of them were deployed to build sieges, and ten men, including two of them, were on the front lines.
All ten of them were stationed.
“right… .”
Even in the most dangerous position, Sipgang was willing to take the front line.
And at the forefront of them was Myung-Jun Lee, as always.
“… … .”
Lee Myung-jun carefully put his trembling right hand into his bosom so that he could not see it.
