Episode 281
Raon went into the restaurant in front of the alley and ordered a sandwich.
– Off… .
Lars let out a pained sound as if he didn’t like it.
– Aren’t the promises different?
‘The door is closed, tell me what to do.’
The barbeque restaurant he wanted to go to was closed because it was open until dawn. Like Granseville, where the night is more lively than the day, there were not many restaurants open in the morning, so there were no options.
-I promised I would never trust your snout, but I was deceived again!
Lars trembled with his hands on the table.
-I’ll never trust you again… .
‘After work, I’ll try all the delicious food here.’
-lie! The lie is clear!
‘As you know, not long left.’
Raon raised his finger. Instead of pointing to the ceiling of the dining room, he pointed to the shaman above it.
‘Last night, the shaman was opened. In other words, that spell will be activated today.’
The yogi and blood that I felt before entering the restaurant last night are fragments of power that exploded when the shaman circle was opened. Now that the spell has been opened, it will surely be activated in a short time so that the energy in it is not wasted.
– In the eyes of the main king, that energy is not yet perfect. The bowl is not full.
‘right. But the sacrifice is here.’
Raon smiled and pointed to himself.
-You say you’re a sacrifice?
‘okay. They must know I’m here.’
Looking at the current situation, it is clear that leukemias are hiding in the black market. By defeating the 7 apostles and killing the 4 apostles, the white blood cult, who regards themselves as enemies, could not miss information about themselves.
‘They will attack me soon. It won’t take long. Be patient.’
– Me, really?
Lars blinked his eyes, forgetting what he had said 20 seconds ago.
‘then.’
– Off… .
“The meal has arrived.”
When Lars looked suspicious, the clerk brought two sandwiches with eggs and ham.
“thank you.”
I was talking to Lars, so I put the plate down on the table.
– What are you doing?
‘No, even if I really believe this time… .’
– Close your mouth and eat first. Because the king’s belly skin was attached to his back!
‘under.’
Laon blew the wind away. I thought we were talking about food to eat later, but Lars seems to be in a hurry for a sandwich in front of him. I really thought this was the devil.
He took a bite of the sandwich with a shaky expression on his face. Thick ham, cheese, and soft eggs blend well with crispy toasted bread, filling your mouth with a savory yet rich flavor.
‘I’m fine.’
-I heard that the market is a side dish, so this isn’t bad either.
Lars smiled happily over a sandwich.
-Isn’t the bread crooked? because the balance is broken. Put the ham properly between the buns!
“Well… .”
Raon wiped his mouth as he saw Lass happy.
‘I feel like I’m doing something bad.’
Since you’re so passionate about a sandwich, I’ll have to eat a decent meal after work this time.
I thought it wouldn’t be too bad to rent one of the most expensive restaurants and hold a full dinner for the Gwangpungdan.
‘Let’s check it out.’
Raon brought a reward that Lars could not properly check because of the runaway barrel.
A title given to those who interpret and solve high-level magic on their own.
Abilities: All stats +5.
‘It’s even got the ability.’
I thought it was just a title with a name, but it also had the effect of raising the stats. He smiled with unexpected joy.
The insight and concentration that can see through the flow of all Jinbeop such as examination, mujin, and shamanism increases.
There is no additional stats, but the ability to examine the effects of various bases has been increased. He’s a growth type, so if he nurtures him properly, he’ll be of much greater help than his abilities.
‘There, the ability level has risen.’
Finally, all stats up to 5 points. To give such a reward right before the battle, it seemed that the goddess of victory was giving a blessing to win unconditionally.
– Big… .
Lars, who was delighted with the sandwich, bit his lip as he read the message.
– To give you such a reward just for interpreting magic… .
‘If you think about it, it is natural to give.’
Raon waved his hand.
‘The system rewards you according to your achievements. This time, I interpreted the huge shaman circle, so it’s only natural that a reward worthy of it will come.’
The system works efficiently. Even if he wasn’t illiterate, he did a job worthy of being called an achievement, so he just gave him a reward. The rewards obtained were also related to magic or jinbeop.
-Ouch… .
Lars shrugged, not knowing what to say.
– When the main king returns, we will destroy the system first! I will never use it again!
‘Well.’
Raon shrugged. It didn’t matter when Lars went back to when his work was all over.
‘I ate it all, shall I go?’
The empty plate was pushed forward.
– What, what! Where are you going to eat just one sandwich?
‘To the kids.’
Raon put the cost of food on the table and stood up.
‘I have to tell you about the plan to break the White Blood Bridge.’
* * *
After receiving instructions from Raon, Marta followed Luna. As I said before, Luna was living in a shack with her two younger sisters.
They gave me enough money, so I thought I’d be eating well today, but the children were filling their stomachs with hard, dry bread, as if they had all been stolen from them.
“sister. Eat it too.”
Luna’s sister held out half of the bread. The younger brother also sniffed and handed him the bread he was eating.
“Because I ate outside. Don’t worry, eat yourselves first.”
Luna smiled softly and pushed the bread to the younger sisters again.
Marta frowned as she looked at Luna like that.
‘You got hit.’
Seeing that there were bruises on his face that he had never seen before, he seemed to have lost more than the amount of money he had paid and even beaten when he went to pay.
‘Damn things… .’
Seeing Luna clutching her stomach as she looked at her younger sisters, she thought of her former self and a little bit of heat turned around.
‘Do you want to come with George?’
After all, it’s my money.
Watching the little ones get beaten and stuff their stomachs with dry bread, the fire breaks out. I thought about whether I should come here with a reasonable excuse.
“Are these children?”
“Huh!”
As I was contemplating, I heard Raon’s soft voice from behind. I almost felt terrified, but thanks to Raon’s mouth, I could barely hold it in.
“You damn child! Show some signs and come!”
“You can’t do that here.”
Raon smiled softly and opened the curtain to prevent the sound from escaping.
“Is that girl Luna? Not only the wounds, but the whole body is full of blood.”
He looked at Luna and narrowed his eyes slightly. He nodded, muttering as expected.
“I have blood all over my body? Can you see that?”
“He’s in good shape right now.”
“Well… .”
I can’t feel anything.
If I hadn’t seen Luna’s wounds, I wouldn’t have imagined that there was blood. From this street, Raon, feeling the blood inside Luna’s body, looked like a monster.
“This is not the first time that child has buried a stone imbued with blood. He was exposed to blood while burying the stone, so blood has accumulated in his body. It’s out of control, and it’s moving on its own.”
“Well, then what will happen?”
“It’s fine for now, but you’ll die the moment the spell activates.”
“Die?”
“okay. Now the shaman circle is not activated in perfect condition. I will prey on those children who are close and exposed to a lot of blood.”
Raon clenched his fists with eerie eyes.
“Bar, how? Aren’t you going to leave it like this?”
“Did you hear anything in between? It’s different than usual.”
“Noisy!”
Martha slapped her hand. Before entering Sieghard, I was ashamed to say that I was seeing myself.
“It could be dangerous.”
“I do not care.”
It didn’t matter what kind of wounds he suffered in order to break the white blood religion’s plan of making even such children as scapegoats.
“It’s a good look. If you have that kind of determination, you have to believe it.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“Soon, that guy named Tooth is going to call those kids. Then you and the first group will follow the children one by one… .”

Denning Rose, general manager of the black market Granseville, walked down the blood-dried basement.
‘This place must have collapsed.’
When I was first assigned to Granseville, I personally confirmed that this road was blocked. But the basement you see now was open, and the floor was full of dried blood stains.
‘No, this road has collapsed and I left Malchus… .’
Why am I here?
I was walking on my own feet, but I had no idea why I was here or why I was walking down this hallway. It feels like the body and the head are playing separately. I couldn’t stop walking or sit down. The only option was to walk.
After walking for a long time in the blood-dried and thick basement, I saw a round passageway with red light leaking out. Still not knowing why, the foot crossed the passage.
A huge cavity with a soft light that seems to be pouring out of the moonlight. A young handsome man was sitting in the center of the space where the body was piled up like a mountain.
‘The author… .’
Denning Rose swallowed dry saliva. Fine eyes with purple hair. And even the sword marks engraved on his chest. As a black market branch manager, it is impossible not to know the impression. He was the 7th Apostle of the White Blood Church.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person while living in the same city. Denning Rose.”
The 7 apostles got up and smiled kindly.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose unconsciously knelt down and bowed her head. The 7 apostles were neither afraid nor afraid. My body reacted as if I had come here unknowingly.
“It’s not unusual for a woman to bend over from the beginning.”
The Seven Apostles approached with a grin and stood in front of Denning Rose’s head.
“Ouch… .”
Denning Rose clenched it. I wanted to get up somehow, but my body didn’t move. His limbs were as heavy as stone.
“why? Is your body not moving as you please?”
“Hey, what the hell did you do… .”
I forcefully turned my tongue. It was like borrowing someone else’s mouth to speak.
“Well?”
As the Seven Apostles lifted their fingers with their chins crooked, Denning Rose lifted her head.
“Can you tell me why you didn’t find us?”
“Maybe it’s because of the trio… .”
Denning Rose looked at the thin eyes of the Seven Apostles and exhaled a turbid breath. Seeing that Raon’s information had been leaked, I was convinced that Sejak existed.
‘It’s also an executive.’
The information about Raon was top secret, so unless you were an executive, you couldn’t even look it up. I made a plan to find him, but I couldn’t even execute it, and it made me feel uncomfortable to die here.
“You’re not stupid at all.”
The seven apostles nodded slowly as if they were satisfied.
“Then who is it?”
He snapped his fingers, and five men in white robes walked out from behind the cavity.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose’s eyes widened. The five people out now were all from the black market, and one of them was an executive. It was also Philip, who ran an antique shop directly connected to the black market branch, which he hoped would not be the least expensive.
“Philip, why are you… .”
When asked a question, they did not answer. He knelt before the 7 apostles and bowed his head.
“Do you know why I am telling you this?”
“I am going to kill you.”
“no.”
The 7 apostles snorted and shook their heads.
“Because your body is no longer yours.”
“Well, then my condition is… .”
“okay. I’m in control.”
He wiggled his fingers as if he were actually controlling a puppet.
“You are not alone. All the bugs on the earth are in my grasp. If you order me to die, I will kill myself by stabbing myself in the heart.”
“Damn, what the… .”
“From today on, this Granseville will be a huge fish farm. The moths, who are in the nightlife, will pay money and blood without even knowing they are dying. It’s a spell for that.”
The 7 apostles pointed to the ceiling. In the soft light, a huge blood was wriggling.
“don’t worry. You have to keep living as the branch manager of this Gran Seville.”
“eww… .”
Denning Rose’s lips trembled. It wasn’t like brainwashing, but because he couldn’t rebel at all, he couldn’t even report to the black market headquarters. You may end up living under the rule of the 7 apostles for the rest of your life.
“Denning Rose.”
The Seven Apostles looked down at Denning Rose’s eyes, crushed by fear, and smiled.
“Don’t give me your first assignment. Bring Raon Sieghard with you. He will be the last puzzle in this farm.”

Raon looked up at the back of the dormitory after checking his body and auras with increased abilities. dark sky. Soon the sun was going down.
It was not even the time for the sunset, but the whole world was chewing gum. It was a grotesque sky without the moon, stars, or clouds.
jerk.
Light footsteps were heard from behind. As I turned my gaze, Denning Rose, the head of the black market, was walking by.
“Laon.”
Denning Rose approached right in front of him and bowed his head politely.
“We have captured a leukemia.”
“Leukists?”
“Yes. I’m going to have an interrogation, can you come with me?”
“It is.”
Raon nodded and put on the coat he had hung on the wall.
“thank you.”
He followed Denning Rose, who smiled softly, to the boulevard of Gran Seville.
Whoa!
The distinctive buildings and colorful lights still radiated brilliant light, but there was one difference from yesterday.
human. There was not even a single person on the street where so many people passed.
Denning Rose walked with the same stride and speed as if he had no interest.
After walking for a while, she stopped at the center of the street. It’s the most crowded place in the city, but now I haven’t seen a single ant cub.
“Laon.”
Denning Rose slowly turned around. A tear fell from under the black eyepatch painted with roses.
“Sorry.”
She left those words and stepped back. At the same time, all the people hiding in the building came out.
Even if I counted roughly, more than a hundred people surrounded Raon with a gray color in their eyes.
After that, the white-blooded believers in white robes raised their blood as if threatening with various weapons.
Kurur.
When Raon felt the murder of people and frowned, an empty puddle appeared next to Denning Rose.
The liquid, which had been wriggling like beer foam, slowly spurted out and took the form of a human. With purple hair. The unforgettable seven apostles smiled with confidence.
“I must say it’s been a while.”
The 7 apostles brushed off their coats and raised their white hands.
“Raon Sieghard.”
“Seven apostles.”
Raon looked at the Seven Apostles with his eyebrows slightly lowered.
“Is it yours?”
“okay. All my work. I didn’t know you would come so timely.”
He smiled broadly and spread his arms outstretched.
“How do you like my welcome?”
“Greetings… .”
Raon narrowed her eyes and grabbed the sword of the Requiem Sword that was tied to her back.
“Ah, I haven’t finished my words yet.”
The 7 apostles shook their heads leisurely.
“These are I am not a priest.”
He raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
Whooing!
Even though the ring of fire was not used, a huge cloud of blood was visible.
“Now do you know?”
The 7 apostles looked at Raon’s bewildered expression and drew a deeper smile.
“They just unwittingly accepted the blood under the influence of that magic. Not our clergy, but ordinary bugs that lived here.”
He grabbed Denning Rose’s hair and lifted it up.
“… … .”
Denning Rose didn’t moan even once, even though her head was raised so high that her hair was pulled out, and her expression didn’t change.
“I know the utility of your dagger. You sing a song that brings death to a cultist who has blood with his sword? If you use it here, all those bugs will die.”
The seven apostles pointed to those who filled the road from Denning Rose.
“Laon… .”
Perhaps the Seven Apostles had released it, a voice that seemed to be clogged came from Denning Rose. A desperate voice emanating from a calm expression. It was so bizarre that it gave me goosebumps.
“It’s Sulwhasoo Sword Hyeop. I heard that Hyupsa would raise a sword for others. I wonder how you are Will you kill the innocent for yourself? Or will you run away?”
He snapped his fingers as if to give him a choice.
As soon as the clicking sound rang, people took out various weapons from their arms and approached Raon. The gray eyes gleamed eerily.
“Affiliate? I never asked for a name like that.”
Raon resolutely drew his Requiem Sword.
Quarreung!
The bright red blade of the sword was exposed, and the thunderous roar of the Yogi resounded throughout the road.
“Ouch… .”
“Cuckoo!”
“Ugh… .”
Both the general public with blood and the white blood cult following them all fell to the floor and splattered blood.
“Ah ha ha ha ha ha!”
The 7 apostles burst into brilliance while grabbing their foreheads.
“okay. I thought so! That’s you! This world really doesn’t know you. I am the only one who can understand the true nature of your cruel and terrifying bastard!”
He untied his robe, revealing the scars on his chest that had been cut by the Requiem Blade.
“Come on, let’s begin. your blood… uh?”
The 7 Apostles shook their chins as they looked at Denning Rose next to them. She was not dead, she was breathing thinly.
It’s not just Denning Rose. All the humans who put the blood in them were alive and breathing, and only the guards behind them were dead.
“What are you… .”
The 7 apostles rolled their eyes as if they did not understand.
“You have crossed the line.”
“What?”
“From now on, the white blood cult will run away just by looking at my shadow.”
Raon raised his Requiem Sword and aimed it at the Seven Apostles. The blade dyed in the same color as the red eyes shone dazzlingly.
“Because I will not spare any blood demons in this land.”
