“eww… .”
Randsch, who pressed his palm to the corner of one eye as if in pain, shook his head violently.
Even though it was extremely rare for him to receive damage beyond his own body, he also knew that it existed. However, I could not even imagine that such a means would exist even for Choi Hyun-woo.
“Unexpected wounds like this… .”
The right eye, which was stabbed by Choi Hyun-woo, cannot be seen at all. It wasn’t just that.
Starting with the circulatory system of magical power, he suffered serious damage to all parts of his body.
Choi Hyun-woo, the young human didn’t have this kind of power, so it was obviously because of the sword he was holding.
It was the first weapon he had ever seen, and he had to be conscious and prepared to some extent at the time when he split his skin so easily. Randsch meekly admitted his folly.
Accepting the fact that the price for his foolishness was too heavy, he cried out and spewed out a handful of blood that had been coagulated like jelly.
“… I’ll just have to recuperate for a while.”

Of course, it would be difficult to use complex magic or magic for a while, as well as creating clones.
If possible, he sent himself with the intention of shaking up everyone, including Yoo Ji-hyeok, and throwing himself into confusion, but in the end, it turned out to be a self-reinforcing beast.
The reason for using Junhyung Choi, taking Arthur Walllay along, and the remnants of Big Watch, who by now appeared out of town and rioting, were from such calculations.
“Twitter.”
But now those things are pretty good.
He calmly grasped the current situation and roughly ripped off his jacket.
Between his neck and chest, a pattern similar to that of Yoo Ji-hyuk, but different, appeared. Isaac McDowell, whose limbs had been crushed, and Natalia Milited, who had been buried in the heart of a dragon, must have remembered their own patterns.
A larger and more complex pattern was engraved on his abdomen.
Randsch fiddled with his stomach over and over again as if he was lucky.
He took a deep breath as if he was genuinely relieved.
“It would have been a huge disappointment.”
The complicated procedure was all prepared in advance, and all that was left was to operate the procedure.
Therefore, we were able to proceed with the plan without any problems even in the present state.
“… … .”
Milited’s seal is hidden deep in the Baltic Sea.

Originally, he had to go there to unlock his seal.
But there was no room for that.
So, Randsch used a kind of expedient to show off his skills.
His specialty was space magic, which was said to be rare.
Landsh Milited was now using his body as a kind of medium and was connected to the entrance to the undersea temple where Milited was sealed.
‘… I put a medium in Yoo Ji-hyuk’s body, so I can bring the man here at any time.’
Looking around the interior of the space that had been prepared for a long time, Randsch finally confirmed that everything was well prepared.
All four sacrifices were prepared for him, Isaac McDowell, Natalia Milited, and Yoo Ji-hyuk.
In addition, he had connected his body to the temple under the sea, so if the seal was successfully released, it was clear that Milited would use his body as a door to escape.
I swear it was a moment I had been waiting for for hundreds of years.
“Master, please… !”
Randsch raised both hands and murmured.
And without hesitation, he shoved both fingers into the pattern engraved on his stomach.
Blood gushed out of his body, which had been pierced by his fingers, and a strange light began to appear on the patterns engraved on his body.
It meant it was working fine.
“… Success.”
I can feel Yoo Ji-hyuk’s body being dragged here.
The moment he arrived, Milited was freed and Randsch couldn’t contain his excitement that he would be able to spend the glorious days of service under him again.
So, he was a little, a little too late, to figure out what he would normally have noticed right away.
And that little difference produced irreversible results.
“What… ?!”
It wasn’t that Yoo Ji-hyuk was being pulled over.

On the contrary, this one was being drawn to him.
By the time he realized it was already too late, all he could do was hold Isaac McDowell and Natalia with both hands.
Eventually, no one was left in the dungeon where he had laid various traps and techniques to subdue Yoo Ji-hyeok.
* * *
From the beginning, he had anticipated what Randsch was going to do.
There was no information about Milited’s children who appeared in the sequel, but at least he remembered everything about Milited.
The fact that the place where he was sealed was an undersea temple hidden deep in the Baltic Sea, but also the fact that it was a dungeon hidden under the academy that was always revealed when his seal was released in the original work.
At first, I thought there might be something hidden in the underground dungeon, but I changed my mind when I found out that Landsh’s specialty is space-based abilities.
And he came up with a way to counteract his plan.
It was to bring Landsh to a space specially prepared to deal with Milited, and summon Milited, who was weakened and incompletely sealed, to subdue it.
It was because it was clear that at the point when Randsch was going to sacrifice me, something was going to leave a mark or imprint on me. Also, it was possible because there were only Su-young Han, Yuzuki Horie, and Evangeline Lohengrin who could use the space-based magic that is rare only around me.
With the help of them, Alice Blesbuck, Cass Lyle, and even Jin Ye-jeong, we prepared a trap to take advantage of his plan, and now things are going perfectly as we thought.
The Randsch that appeared before our eyes was the proof.
“… … .”
“Isaac McDowell… Where did you go?”
This was the reaction of Alice Blesbuck and Evangeline Lohengrin, respectively.
Alice Blesbuck stared silently at Natalia Milited, who passed out with only her face exposed, trapped in a ghastly chunk of meat that looked like a caterpillar, while Evangeline Lohengrin looked at Isaac with twisted limbs, and perhaps an idiot with her eyes open. Looking at McDowell, his expression hardened.
“perfectly… Looks like you got hit.”
Randsch let out a rough breath and muttered quietly.
Hyeonu, who was next to him, really suffered a lot when he saw him weaker than expected, and he took a step forward.
“Yeah, right. It hit me perfectly.”
Nodding my head, I slowly drew my scale-forged sword out of the shadows.
“Choi Jun-hyung was already killed by Ye-seul, and the traitor you ordered was also killed by the old man. The remnants of the Big Watch, which were hidden outside the city, were also subjugated by Lee Myung-jun, the Sipgang, the World Tree, and the Aegis system. Can you tell me roughly how much? People are still enjoying the festival.”
“… … .”
With my mouth shut, I raised my hand to reveal the ring.
“And only those who wear this ring can freely enter and exit this space. Of course, I can’t let you escape by space travel.”
I took one more step closer to him.
“You lost, Randsch.”
“But now you are right in front of me.”
Randsch said so and grinned.
“Since the four offerings were gathered, the conditions were satisfied. Then he will wake up. That alone is enough.”
“So that was my target from the beginning, you bastard.”
I snorted and looked at him.
“Milited, is he stronger than Skinny?”
“It is an insult he will never have again to compare him with such filth… !”
“Then, are you stronger than Sbangali?”
“He was reluctant to associate with the crafty Sagar. It was just that he hated hearing that vulgar tongue, not that he was afraid.”
[That crazy lizard bastard is deceived by anyone now, so he’s talking vulgarly… ?]
Sbengali murmured as if it were ridiculous.
I took a deep breath and looked at him.
“Then, are you stronger than Minerva?”
“… … .”
Randsch, who had been making fun of himself with confidence until just a moment ago, immediately shut his mouth.
… For some reason, the shadows flickering and swaying are like ‘How are you?’ He seemed to be looking at me with a confident expression on his face.
“No further questions and answers are necessary.”
Randsch muttered like that and looked at him blankly.
He slowly moved his head to look at the people who were with me one by one, except for me.
“… I can’t believe it more than that. You need the other person’s psychology, limited information given, a sharp insight into the situation, and even confidence in yourself. How the hell did you know?”
Randsch’s mouth, who had been muttering blankly, suddenly opened wide and terrifyingly wide and smiled.
“For my master. You literally knew everything.”
Truly, this Landsh is like a master who has decided to dedicate everything to serving him.
He muttered in a voice that seemed to be genuinely admiring.
“… What?”
He quickly thrust his hand deep into his neck before I could do anything.
Then, something stinged in the pattern carved between her chest and neck, and she began to feel a pain as if something was grabbing her from the depths of her body.
[Your soul and body have been chosen as sacrifices for someone’s resurrection!]
[A part of you begins to flow to ‘someone’… !]
There was a moment when I thought that something was wrong with this.
Immediately, I felt the vibration of the catalyst handed over to me by Evangeline Lohengrin and Alice Blesbuck.
[Your Catalyst begins to resist the Curse!]
[Artifacts you own will override the forced choice!]
[The Banshee’s necklace resonates with itself, emitting waves that fight the curse!]
Notifications popped up in front of his eyes one after another, and Randsch only snorted a little as if he had expected it. Suddenly, two dark green strings of cords that had escaped from his heart were attached to the bodies of Isaac McDowell and Natalia Milited, respectively.
“Die and blame your stupidity. You have brought your own ruin… !”
It was when he opened his mouth wide as if he was about to pour a curse on me until the end.
A silvery-white liquid began to burst out of his mouth, as if a waterfall had burst out.
The liquid was dazzlingly dazzling as if it contained light on its own.
Seeing this, I just pulled out another spear without saying a word.
Everyone else, too, calmly began to prepare for what was about to happen.
“Uh, uh… ! Uh oh… !!! Kuruk… .”
The figure of a strong physique that could have been at least two meters tall was nowhere to be seen.
Randsch was rapidly drying up as if she had become a mummy, and had already been deprived of nutrients from the body to the extent that the contours of the bones were revealed in various parts of her body. And it was the same with Isaac McDowell and Natalia Milited and the chunks of meat that wrapped around her.
“rebound… Is it some kind of?”
Seeing this, Han Soo-young murmured as if puzzled, and Alice Blesbuck answered.
“Right. It was because only the three of us had to pay the price that was originally supposed to be borne by the four of us. Of course, the things you have to pay for have also grown.”
She was looking at him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
“Originally, part of my life would have been taken away. However… I do not know. I don’t know if it’ll pay off even if I give all of those three.”
Finally she mumbled in a very low voice.
“… No wonder that Landsh and his mother will die from the recoil of the magic trick. What could be a more humiliating and painful death for an alchemist… ?”
Before long, the three of them who had been alive until now had no form left, and as if they had devoured all of them with food, only a huge mass of liquid remained in their place.
[The quest ‘Fourth Evil’ begins.]
The status window that popped out of nowhere.
Then, the surface of the mass of liquid wobbled and shook, and a man’s arm came out with a throb.
[Milited… .]
Sbangali murmured in a voice that seemed to be mixed with complex sentiments.
The shimmering liquid took the form of a perfect human within that brief moment.
His appearance was so perfect that it was believed that he and Cass Lyle were twins.
Like a lizard crawling on the ground, the guy who had been lying down slowly got up.
Then he slowly opened his mouth to me.
“… I finally got to see that face with my own two eyes.”
He spoke in a voice that terrifyingly resembled Cass Lyle, and bowed politely as if bowing to me.
“Saint.”
saint?
I frowned at the unfamiliar words.
At the same time, the reflexively thrown spear was pinned right in the guy’s face.
