Liberation Champion – 1
Hiren said in a trembling voice.
“Idria.”
“Well, that’s it. It’s saying that Maid is very good, it’s not like yesterday or today.”
“What shall I do now?”
“As I said before, you just have to keep hiding. Your hiding will be Maid’s most painful weakness.”
Then, Hiren’s eyes lit up.
“It’s a good opportunity to try out shadow magic.”
“If possible, do not enter the territory.”
“All right. Rather, it is better that way.”
He smiled and continued.
“There are so many trees on this mountain. There are shadows almost everywhere.”
drop.
There the screen was cut off.
When the battery’s eyes disappeared, time went back to normal.
The colleagues in front of me were each having a passionate discussion about something.
In the meantime, I reflected on the secret I had just discovered.
‘As expected. Hiren hid with the shadow magic he stole from Offense.’
[okay. On the mountain behind this estate.]
‘You must have been anxious to use the weapon you just got. Not even a child.’
But that child’s emotions saved me.
We’ve already broken shadow magic.
I organized my thoughts and looked at my colleagues.
They were still debating with great enthusiasm.
“The Demon Lord of Lies is the oldest Demon Lord? Then what is the Demon Lord of Destruction?”
“Since the Demon Lord of Destruction appeared about 1,500 years ago… Wow. Idria is also very old.”
“Aren’t you shut up?”
“Why is Mr. Neryl angry? Is it a conditional reflex?”
“I fully understand Neryl’s feelings. The passage of time is scary.”
“Shut up, Lissel.”
discussion right?
I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Is it Naitaryeong that the debate is only about hearing the keyword of the oldest demon king?”
“I didn’t do it. I was seriously trying to get into the discussion.”
“He was serious when he told me to shut up.”
“huh. Well, I’ll admit it. I was quite surprised at first, but…”
Neryl continued speaking casually.
“Thinking about it differently, I wondered if there was any need to make a fuss.”
“yes?”
Xenia answered my question.
“After all, you knew that Idria was ignorantly stronger than other demon lords. It’s just the age added there, so what’s the problem?”
“·················ogue.”
“Besides, I have a feeling that if Maid is there, everything will be fine.”
“what.”
“Mr. Maid is a person who makes people like that. From the first time we met until now.”
The other party members also shook their heads as if in empathy.
I scratched my head.
Ardwin asked with a rather playful expression.
“By the way, brother. What did you think so deeply about?”
“ah. Well.”
“Lephia-sama died in the meantime. I said hello to hyung, but he was upset because he didn’t accept me.”
“I’ll buy some rice later.”
“You can’t eat it.”
“Anyway, let’s focus on the current issue.”
I spoke slowly.
“Hiren hid himself with the shadow magic that he stole from Offense.”
“·················ogue.”
“Then you know how to find it, right? It’s the same as when I found Ariena Youngae.”
“ah! You can erase all the light with elemental erasure magic.”
“okay.”
“But unlike then, today is a full moon. Besides, there is not a single cloud.”
“And we got a boost. different from back then.”
Serena nodded vigorously.
“okay. I have.”
“Ricell, please take care of me.”
“Are you here on purpose…?”
Lissel answered, clutching the trumpet.
“Mr. Offense’s magic seems to break without light, right?”
“right. You call the clouds to cover the moonlight.”
“I’ll do it.”
At that moment, Offense, who had been silently silent, opened his mouth.
“That would be of no use.”
“uh? why?”
“No matter how thick a cloud is, it cannot completely remove the shadows. What happened to me in the Avis estate was because I was indoors.”
“·················ogue.”
“A cloud is a cloud after all. Even if only the slightest light remains, the magic will not be broken.”
He shrugged and continued.
“This is my opinion after decades of testing in various fields. Just take note.”
“That should not be the end of the reference. Whoops, I have to plan again.”
“I’ll tell you in addition to my comment.”
“Tell me.”
“Shadow Hex has one more weakness.”
Neryl tilted her head.
“Are there so many weaknesses?”
“You’re talking nonsense with an innocent face.”
“I didn’t mean anything bad.”
“So even worse.”
“Anyway, what are your other weaknesses?”
Offense let out a deep sigh.
“It’s hard for me to speak of my weaknesses with my mouth, but…”
That was then.
[for a moment! Stop talking.]
‘What? why?’
[Once you do, do it.]
Trail’s voice was so serious that I hurried to say it.
“for a moment. Offense.”
“uh? what?”
“Something came to mind. Everyone, please be quiet.”
The party kept their mouths shut at the same time without asking anything.
I asked Trail.
‘therefore? Why?’
[Idria is watching.]
For a moment, it felt like my heart was freezing.
The trail continues.
[Since when? It must have been from the second time I visited the basement of the imperial castle recently.]
‘what.’
[Something made me feel stronger.]
point?
Is that what I call intuition?
[Remember that I found both Serene’s parents and Lissel’s trumpet?]
‘of course.’
[I’m talking with that tip. Idria is now using her powers to watch over us. Should I be monitoring?]
This is what Trail, who is close to eternity with Idria, said.
There was no good way to spill it.
‘Hwangseong Underground seems to have had a positive effect on you.’
[Well. I got stronger for no reason. You, too, felt sorry to see the dead people’s pigtails.]
‘Still, I can’t deny that it’s helpful for the current situation.’
anyway what about
How long will I have to keep this silence until Idria thinks it’s strange.
However, I can’t plan a plan in front of the Demon King’s eyes.
After thinking for a while, I came up with a good idea.
And desperately, he blinked at Ardwin.
please let me know You’re pretty quick too.
“··········!”
Indeed, Ardwin did not disappoint my expectations.
He lowered his arms and licked his lips.
and after a while.
[brother. You want this, right?]
I heard Ardwin’s voice in my mind.
A spell that was used to plan a strategy behind Kayle when he was fighting against Kayle on Agril the other day.
It is a secret conversation through the soul.
Ardwin looked at everyone and said.
[Maid-hyung was noticing that he was restless, so I connected the souls. Secret conversations will now be possible.]
[It’s amazing even though it’s the second time. I felt it back then, but this spell is really useful.]
[Heh. Thank you. Rather, hyung, why did you ask for this?]
I spoke both in body and soul at the same time to avoid suspicion of Idria, who was watching us.
“not. It didn’t matter. After all, should I eat dinner soon?”
[Idria is watching.]
Fortunately, my seasoned co-workers didn’t get distracted.
Xenia speaks in a plain tone.
“Shall we order? What would you like to eat?”
[Is this a spying using the power of space?]
“I am fine with anything. There’s nothing I can’t eat.”
[Probably so. Until now, this method would have blocked our way.]
“It’s the same with me. So I’m even more concerned.”
[If it’s been like that until now, how did you suddenly notice today?]
It’s all thanks to the trail, but this shy guy is trying so hard to hide his identity, so let’s just let it go.
[Anyway, with the power of space, you can’t even get a glimpse of this secret conversation.]
[That’s right.]
[Then, shall we continue the conversation? Offense, what is Shadow Hex’s second weakness? While having a seemingly ordinary conversation.]
Offense brought out words that were close to everyday chatter by anyone looking at it.
But in the secret conversation of the soul, he said something else.
I confessed my weakness in a very unwilling tone.
[Shadow Hex is broken when the body that created the shadow disappears.]
[Well?]
[For example, when hiding in the shadow of a building, if that building collapses, the magic will also break. Because the shape of the shadow changes.]
Serene said as if it was absurd.
[What kind of weakness is that? Of course.]
[I said it with a big heart, but the reaction was not good.]
[If you don’t know what shadow Hiren hid in, you don’t know what object to destroy.]
no.
Serene’s words were at first glance correct, but Offense’s words just before contained a decisive hint.
[If you don’t know which object is hiding in the shadow of an object, you can just smash all the objects.]
Everyone looked at me silently.
[Hiren is hiding in the mountain behind this estate. This mountain is full of trees, and everything you see is covered in shadows.]
[There is, too, but I must have wanted to get away from you as much as possible.]
[ Either way is fine. He figured it out and laid it on my grave. Now, let’s close the coffin.]
I smiled and continued.
[Let’s erase that mountain.]
the next morning.
We left the inn.
Yeongji-min seemed to have decided on a duty and stood up to the non-visit number.
They approached us with red eyes.
“Hey, warrior. Where are you going?”
“Don’t worry. I am not leaving here.”
“Whew. Thank you very much. And I’m sorry.”
“Your heart understands. I went through such hellish withdrawal symptoms.”
“Sobbing.”
“More than that, where is the place where people can gather the most in this manor?”
One of Young Jimin tilted his head and answered.
“There is a central plaza.”
“okay. thank you.”
We walked towards it.
Youngji people followed us like chicks following the mother chicken.
After walking for a while in that way, a huge procession was formed behind us.
said Neryl.
“If I do this, will I be able to build an army? How about charging the Demon King like this?”
“Don’t be terrifying.”
“I don’t like the way these guys look.”
Neryl glanced behind him.
Youngji-min stopped walking for a moment in awe.
But as we keep walking, they sneak up behind us again.
Offense said.
“It’s sad and understandable, but at the same time it’s unavoidably uncomfortable.”
“If you only take care of people you like and are kind to, where can you become a hero? Reputation should be chosen fairly from everyone.”
“Huh. If I had just said the previous words, it would have been quite a saying.”
“More than that, do you all remember the operation better? When I give a Japanese speech, I have to move right away.”
Everyone nods.
Serena asked cautiously.
“But the voyeur isn’t watching?”
“Not now.”
I answered so and confirmed with Trail.
‘Right?’
[You should ask before answering. Anyway, now Idria has opened her eyes.]
‘He’s lazy too. If it were me, I would have been monitoring him 24 hours a day with that power.’
[Idria is preparing an oracle. It will take a lot of energy and mind to prepare for such a big cause.]
‘Hmm. In the first place, I couldn’t afford it, so I just sent the fourth finger.’
chuck.
Then the screen popped up.
But it wasn’t using the eyes of the battery.
The entire screen was covered with blue light.
‘What else is this?’
[It seems like we will be asking each and every question in the future, but let’s set a rule at this point.]
‘uh?’
[If this window is blue, it is safe. If Idria is watching, I’ll change it to red.]
‘Aha. Good service. I get it.’
widely.
We stood in the middle of the square.
Suddenly, in front of us, most of the young people gathered and formed a sea of people.
Whoops.
Neril uses voice amplification magic.
I cried out in a loud voice.
“everyone. good morning!”
“…ahaha.”
“Breakfast should always be fresh. I don’t wake up lamenting about dirty addictions and withdrawal symptoms.”
“··········!”
“That’s why we want to guarantee you a fresh breakfast forever.”
Youngji-min starts to murmur.
“What do you mean?”
“Are you going to stay here forever?”
“Ahh. please.”
I cried again.
“It’s all a matter of getting rid of the green smoke. Isn’t it?”
“Yeah, yes, though. How do you get rid of smoke?”
Whoops.
I raised my finger.
And pointed to the mountain behind the village.
Youngjimin’s head turns following my finger.
“The cursed smoke lies right there on that mountain.”
“Ugh.”
“So from now on, we will get rid of the acid. Oh, you don’t have to worry. No one lives on that mountain.”
After looking closely through Xenia’s shared view.
Young Ji-min’s face was full of doubts.
Some of the dogs burst out laughing as if they understood it as a joke.
But I continued to speak without hesitation.
“But we need your help to get rid of the acid.”
“yes?”
“You’re going to get rid of that damned smoke with your own hands.”
It’s not that they’re trying to catch us just because they’re Youngji people.
Rather, they were cursing the green smoke more than us.
how painful it was
How desperate would you be?
“I want to give you a chance. A chance to take revenge on the one who ruined your happy life and made you taste utter misery! ”
I raised my voice even more.
“We will set you free.”
