Red Case’s sprinkling seemed to have lost his mind as it was, so he fell down and drooped.
The reason he didn’t fall to the ground was that the branches of the world tree, which had been attached to the last, firmly dug into his body and fixed it.
Seriously, it must be strange that he was still conscious even though he was sucked in so much blood and magic.
With that thought in mind, first of all, using the branches of the world tree, I broke his limbs.
Even though his limbs were crushed with a creepy sound, he was still hanging and didn’t even move.
I just threw him away on the ground so he wouldn’t die.
Then, as if crawling out of the shadows, I fell to the ground.
“Heh heh, heh heh… … .”
As I was exhaling harshly, my body was wet with cold sweat.
It was a symptom of mana exhaustion.

Oops, it seems like I’ll lose my mind as it is.
“It hurts, yes. Shiba… … egg… !”
As soon as the excitement from the battle subsides, various pains begin to rush through his body.
There were burns on his face and shoulders, holes in the back of his hands, and several needles still in his legs.
The back, which had been blown away, was throbbing as if it had been dislocated, and it was difficult to breathe because the ribs were broken.
I had to move somehow.
It was a time when I had been scratching my whole body for a long time just with that thought.
Suddenly there was a sound as if something was dragging.
As she was lying down, she moved her head to look at Jin Ye-seul standing upside down.

One of her hands was holding someone’s leg, and I could easily recognize that it was the leg of a woman called Orga.
“How do you know this… … .”
As she muttered, trying to sit down somehow, Jin Ye-seul threw the organ she was holding in the distance.
As you can see with a quick glance, her body was in shreds.
Rather, a man with holes in his body would look better.
“… … .”
Without a word, Jin Ye-seul carefully lowered her ankle, which she was holding in one hand, in front of me.
A person’s ankle with Nidhogg’s fangs.
Although it was originally mine, it was terrifying.
No, more than that… … .
From Nidhogg’s fangs, to the woman named Orgar who imprisoned me in a prison of smoke, and to the place where she was fighting another Red Case’s sprinkling, Jin Ye-seul immediately came to this place as if she knew everything.
how the hell did it happen
There was only one answer.
“You were all watching… … from the beginning.”
Jin Ye-seul just nodded quietly without answering this time.
In an instant, a sense of anger and betrayal rose, but the tension in his jaw was relaxed and he could not say anything to her.
Yes, you were this kind of person in the first place.
There is nothing more unsightly than that to feel betrayed at will after having expectations because you are on the same side as you like.
It was the car I was thinking of.
“I was thrilled.”
“What?”
Suddenly, Jin Ye-seul was on her knees.
She was staring at me as I lay down, and her eyes were filled with excitement and joy that anyone could tell.
Her eyes, which used to be soggy to the point of not being able to tell her emotions, now contain a distinctly different light.
It was just creepy.
“To be honest, I was suspicious of the master.”
In an excited voice, she quietly continued her speech as if confessing.
“It can’t be that person’s descendants, it’s just a lucky blooded human being ridiculed at me… … I thought so. Both the dagger and the way he used the shadow of Henir, his most powerful legacy… … Yes, I dared doubt and did not understand. The more I thought about it, the more my doubts grew.”
While speaking, Jin Ye-seul was holding something out of her arms.
It was a glass bottle filled with a bubbling liquid.
“It is often said that the first person to pick up what fell on the ground was the owner. So I decided to wait for you to become something that fell to the ground.”
The lid of the glass bottle opens with a cheerful sound.
She took it into her hand and started rubbing it on my face.
Despite the burning pain of my skin, I could not move as if frozen.
“I tried not to help the master. Then you’d be dead here, and I was going to intercept you before those two could pick up your body and take it with you. I picked it up first, so I was going to be the owner.”
Jin Ye-seul, who applied all the medicine to the burnt face and shoulder, grabbed my hand this time.
She looked at the back of her hand as if it were a pity that there was a hole in it and she could even see the scenery beyond, but this time, she began to apply the medicine with care.
I couldn’t say anything.
“Did you say I’m good at interrogation? No, I am not good at interrogation.”
Her hand points this time to the spiky leg.
She grabbed the needle tightly and pulled it out at once with the words that she was going to pull it out.
As she scraped away all the painful screams that remained in her lungs, she meticulously applied the remaining potion to her scarred legs.
“I can split the brains of the dead and extract information from them. That’s how we got information about the swaying snake from the Gravekeeper.”
It was as if he was choking and choking his breath.
And in my head, a scene that I forgot because it was not particularly important in the original came to mind.
In the game, when Jin Ye-seul defeated an enemy, he would sometimes get important traces or evidence.
That’s what it was.
That’s how you get it.
But why the hell did you tell me this… ?
As I was thinking about it, as if she had already noticed my thoughts, she knelt down and politely continued the conversation.
“If the master is convinced that he is not worthy of claiming his bloodline, then by all means I know it will be terribly … … I thought so.”
She just bowed her head.
It was as if he had revealed his sin and begged for punishment.
“sorry. I was stupid. The figure from before, the battle… … Treating Henir’s shadow like a limb… … I’m not stupid enough to keep doubting things like that. It was in a way I never could have imagined. You are his rightful heir, and you are worthy to claim that name.”
Jin Ye-seul quietly raised her head and met her eyes.
I’ve seen those eyes somewhere.
It was the eyes of a person who had reached the realm of faith, captured by blind emotions.
“Can you please forgive me?”
Looking straight into those eyes, there was only one answer he could give.
Jin Ye-seul, who heard my answer, smiled brightly enough that there was no more.
* * *
Jin Ye-seul disappeared somewhere with the words that she would take the two murderers of Red Case who had lost her mind and extract information.
When asked if she was thinking of splitting her brain by just killing it, she calmly replied that it would be inefficient as there would be a lot of information that would be damaged.
She disappeared one last time by handing me a concise note about the current situation.
Thanks to the potion Jin Ye-seul had applied, I was able to control myself somehow, so I leaned against the wall and sat down and read the note carefully.
“… … .”
[A large number of personnel presumed to be thorn crosses appeared in the dungeon, but a black dragon appeared and succeeded in subduing it.]
If it was a black dragon, he would probably be one of the six guild masters.
He couldn’t think of anything other than that he was Chinese and had a rough mouth.
Still, it was good news that the thorn crucifix had been smashed.
Because it means that there is one less thing to worry about.
By the way, if it was a daffodil, it would have been the place where Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo were.
Putting my uneasy feelings behind me first, I continued to read the note.
[The criminal who caused the explosion succeeded in escaping. Identity cannot be identified.]
explosion accident.
This is probably a human from the Big Watch.
Having said that he had managed to escape, there was no further story to tell.
Was it just for the purpose of causing a commotion?
There wasn’t enough information to figure out anything.
[A loud roar from the storage. Details are unknown.]
storage.
I heard this story from Lee Myung-jun.
It was definitely a place where two of the guild masters and Deokpil Jang joined.
No need to worry about whoever was there.
However, if the artifact has been stolen… … .
“… … .”
He grabbed the throbbing arm without a word and shoved the note into his arms.
It was because I wondered what he was worried about in this situation.
I struggled with this because I was proud that I could handle everything on my own.
“Eww.”
He sighed and turned around.
Then, the gaze of Jin Ye-seul, whom she had met a while ago, came to mind, and her body was trembling and trembling.
“I think it’s crazy… … I can’t take it… … .”
Somehow, even when I thought about it, I got over the clumsy cowardice, so I just believe in Shadow Walker that much. … .
It’s terrifying to think again that he had such a plan in his heart.
I’ll have to throw it away and break the kite or something.
I don’t know if it will break if I quit… … .
“Whew… … .”
After some rest, you can feel your body recovering.
The potions that Jin Ye-seul used may be of high quality, but in fact, the reason I was able to recover quickly was thanks to the pieces of paper attached to my body.
When some of them, flying like insects, found me and stuck to the wound, I was terrified to think it was another attack.
However, as soon as the light was emitted, I could feel the healing energy similar to the healing I had received before enveloping my body.
Whose technology is it?
There were still a number of papers flying in the sky that made it far away just by looking at them.
“… … .”
As I sat down blankly and stared at it, I heard the ringing of my cell phone.
When I took it out, the screen was broken, so I couldn’t tell who was calling.
I think I’ll have to buy a new one, so I called.
-where are you?
A voice that seems to stand up.
But I knew it wasn’t that I was annoyed or nervous, but that it was the original voice.
Rather, it was enough to be able to read the slight worries contained within.
And I could see for myself that the uncomfortable feeling that had been accumulated in that voice for a moment melted away.
-hello?
The voice rose even higher.
“Oh, I hear you.”
– Then why don’t you answer?
“I’m getting a little bruised.”
—… What are you doing and bruising on the phone? I called there several times and there was no answer. Do you know how many times Hyeonu and I called?
“Sorry, I was a little busy and didn’t have time to answer the phone. The screen was broken and I didn’t even know who was calling.”
-What? why? what happened?
She was silent for a moment.
It was impossible to tell her that, on her way to the storage room because of two huge criminal groups looking for relics, she was driven to death by a sudden attack by the Red Case, and was barely toppling over and resting.
“uh… … I was just sitting and resting.”
-What?
Han Soo-young raised her voice as if it was absurd.
Then he murmured something for a moment and then asked carefully.
– Are you really okay with nothing?
“yes.”
– Really? As I said before, I really hate lying.
She answered with strength as if affirming her suspicious voice.
“Because it’s real. nothing happened Why am I lying to you?”
– So where are you now?
“Well… … .”
It’s not that I don’t know where I am right now.
It was definitely not the place I normally go to, as the surrounding scenery was unfamiliar.
Fortunately, there was one familiar building in sight.
“I do not know. It seems to be around the library.”
-Then let’s meet in front of our library.
Han Soo-young added quickly.
– No, I mean… … Because there is Hyeonu and there are people I want to introduce to you.
The only person she would like to introduce to her respectfully was her teacher, Nam Hyeon-hwa.
If so, it was said that Han Soo-young went with Choi Hyun-woo and her.
She was strong enough to compete with the Ten River.
Fortunately, there seemed to be nothing to worry about.
– Hey, why don’t you answer? maybe you… … .
“thank god. Still, it looks like you’re fine.”
-uh?
“You don’t even know what happened to the academy right now.”
-What? Hey, maybe you… !
Han Soo-young took a deep breath as if it was a flagship.
And since there was no sound, I thought the phone was cut off for a moment.
“hello? What, did you quit?”
– Hey, Yoo Ji-hyuk!
“Ugh!”
– you… ! If you don’t stay there, I’ll meet you and kill you, really!
“No, why are you screaming all of a sudden! I thought I was deaf!”
-Shut up! You think I don’t know you!?
At the sound of her breathing for a moment, she couldn’t answer anything like a dumb, honey-eaten voice.
And if she had taken my silence to mean something else, she fired once more.
―I met you, but just try not to be a sane kid like you said! Then you really die for me!
With that word, the phone was disconnected with a popping sound.
As I looked down at the phone without saying a word for a moment, I suddenly saw a sleeve of my clothes soaked in blood and tangled in my eyes.
It wasn’t just the sleeves.
When he came to his senses, he noticed that although the wound had healed, the clothes he was wearing were literally rags.
It is soaked in blood, stained with an unknown liquid, torn, chafed, and even punctured.
It wasn’t the clothes of someone who had never been through anything.
“… I’m tired.”
Thinking about what not only Han Soo-young but Choi Hyun-woo, who was next to him, would be making, he just wanted to run away.
