‘Nonsense!’
One of her blood relatives, Sophia, was astonished.
She couldn’t understand what was happening right before her eyes.
‘Is this just because of one person?’
Gilbert, the head of the clan, was the strongest among the clan.
Gilbert was pushed by Ethan.
In addition, Felix, who was light in words and deeds, but was quite powerful, was futilely beaten by the divine beast.
Felix was regarded as a nimble among his blood relatives.
Then he could not avoid it and gave the nape of his neck to the gods.
Maybe it was already dead.
The cruel Shinsoo was chewing on Felix’s neck as if he was about to stop breathing.
Sophia was horrified at the sight.
‘It’s a lot stronger than I’ve heard from Riley.’
Sophia noticed that something was wrong.
Since Central, Riley has scoured everything about the saint cadet Ethan, chasing observable battles and their traces.
Therefore, based on his relatively recent activity in the Haup Territory, Ethan’s strength could be inferred.
However, it was quite different from Riley’s report.
Sophia swallowed dry saliva.
‘I got stronger in that short time.’
After thinking, Sophia immediately reached out and performed dark magic.
Sophia’s shadow soon spit out dozens of dark hands.
Dozens of hands procrastinated trying to catch the divine beast.
However, Fenrir nonchalantly bit Felix, shook it and threw it away.
Then, with a leisurely movement, he avoided the dark hands.
Sophia glanced at Felix.
Felix was thrown to the floor, his eyes wide open, and he didn’t even move.
it just died
“You must leave now!”
Sophia shouted at the other kin.
For now, this was the wisest choice.
Ethan’s strength was beyond imagination.
It was better to retreat than to rush.
But the blood relatives couldn’t hear it straight away.
Maverick, the most proud of his kin, insisted.
“I can’t! Are we backing out because of just one priest?”
It was as if he had not yet acknowledged the reality.
Then a cool voice came from behind Maverick’s back.
“Are you talking with my permission?”
It was Ethan.
“… … ?!”
Maverick recognized his footsteps, but it was already too late.
Ethan grabbed Maverick’s head and threw him to the ground.
bang!
Then he put his fist into his stomach.
The ground was smashed again.
“Wow!”
Maverick quickly rolled over to avoid his fist.
It was after seeing Gilbert unilaterally attacked by Ethan while he was vigilant.
Even though I saw it, I couldn’t help but be negligent and suffer terribly.
But it was true that it suffered a lot of damage.
Maverick’s gray hair was drenched in blood.
It was due to the fact that he was thrown to the ground and his head was broken.
“If you accidentally scratch this side, you have to take responsibility. is not it?”
Ethan grunted wildly, not like a priest.
That was then.
chuck.
Sophia stood in front of Maverick and said.
“First of all, I will deal with you.”
“Are you there?”
“You should try.”
Sophia smiled bitterly.
‘Now I have to stop the interest.’
Otherwise, the weight of the balance will collapse.
It had to be stopped no matter what.
* * *
Ethan glared at Sophia, revealing his life.
He could guess right away.
Sophia was a sorceress who was highly trained in dark magic.
‘It’s tricky, but it’s worth a try.’
Ethan looked at Sophia and his eyes lit up.
Now his body was overflowing with endless vitality.
I thought anyone could win.
The reason was simple.
This is because Ethan has gradually strengthened his body with divine magic since he came to New Zealand.
It was the same principle as when the arm was strengthened.
What was different this time was that he spent a lot of time and effort to strengthen his whole body.
As a result, compared to the previous body, Ethan was able to achieve a leap in strength.
My strength was three times stronger.
The skin had become so strong that it could not even be scratched with any sword.
It wasn’t just that.
The lungs that were analyzed and applied from monsters gave Edan endless cardio and stamina.
Like a wizard, Ethan analyzed and strengthened his body individually.
The result was this.
Even his blood relatives couldn’t even stand up to Ethan and left him.
‘It even jumped over the five swords.’
Ethan was so sure.
Before, I wasn’t sure how strong I had become.
But now it was different.
Ethan now had superior strength even compared to other powerful players famous on the continent, such as the five swords.
If I had to compare it with the strong man from 100 years ago in Ethan’s memory.
“It would be like that guy.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
Blake’s master.
Kwon and Muro were similar to Kaden Hanson, a martial artist who had no one to face on the continent.
As far as Ethan knew, it was the most primitive strength.
Ethan felt a great sense of upliftment that he had entered that class.
“It’s fun.”
It was when Ethan felt a strange feeling about his own strength.
Sophia used dark magic against Ethan.
It was the dark magic that Fenrir had used before.
Dark hands popped out of Sophia’s shadow.
Those hands wrapped around Ethan’s body in an instant.
Ordinary people would be embarrassed.
But Ethan was too calm.
‘Is it the hand of death, the 5th circle dark magic?’
It was clear that the woman in front of her was an excellent dark wizard.
But it was nothing to Ethan.
Because he already knew the weakness of the Hand of Death.
bang!
Ethan slammed the ground hard.
Cuckoo bang!
There was a big impact on the ground, and the ground where Ethan and Sophia stood was cracked and broken.
“Ugh!”
Sophia, who was staggering at the trembling of the ground, panicked.
Shadows were also affected because of the pits and cracks in the ground.
Because of that, the hand of death that came out of the shadow also blurred the border.
power is weakened.
‘How do you plan to aim at the shadows?!’
Sophia rolled her eyes.
But Ethan’s actions did not end there.
Ethan immediately used divine magic.
A small sphere of light floated in the air, emitting an intense light.
It was the most basic divine magic.
However, it was most effective against the Hand of Death.
“… … !”
Sophia took a breath.
Ethan reacted flexibly, like flowing water, like a seasoned wizard.
The hand of death was shattered in an instant.
Ethan pushed aside the weakened hand of death at once and approached Sophia.
Sophia bit her lip.
‘I can’t give up yet!’
It was the moment when she was about to use another dark magic.
bang!
A hand protruding from somewhere blocked Ethan’s fist.
Ethan looked at him in the dust.
There was Gilbert.
Unlike before, he was glaring at Ethan with an infinitely serious look.
Contrary to the first time, awareness of Ethan has arisen.
“I admit it. You are strong.”
There was no more arrogance or boredom in Gilbert’s eyes.
Only he was wary of Ethan.
“It makes sense that your brother died at your hands.”
Ethan’s eyes narrowed.
Usually, when guys who have been beaten in a row play with their tongues like this, there is something.
There are other plans, or otherwise.
“I want to end it properly with you, but I have a great task, so I will leave.”
Or making excuses to escape like this.
Ethan let out a laugh.
“You’re very vague on the subject of running away without a tail.”
“We will have a chance to meet again.”
But Gilbert no longer faced Ethan.
Gilbert used dark magic to cover himself and his other kin in a shadow.
And it disappeared in an instant.
Ethan looked at him and muttered in displeasure.
“Aren’t you going to hide that you’re a dark follower now?”
It was high-level dark magic.
Ethan ate his mouth with regret.
At first, I didn’t think I would be able to finish this one time.
But it was meant to inflict a huge blow, but it was a pity that I missed that opportunity.
‘it’s okay. Because it was an unexpected event that was not planned.’
In any case, the blood was on Ethan’s palm, and Ethan was predicting his own victory.
Ethan had confidence.
* * *
Flutter!
The flag symbolizing the state of Nouvelle fluttered above the castle.
As Ethan approached the castle, the soldiers who had been standing there hurriedly opened the gate.
profit. thud!
Upon entering the castle, the paladins, priests, and soldiers rushed to Ethan.
“Ethan, are you okay?”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
They rushed after Ethan and asked for his comfort.
“yes. As you can see, there are no injuries. Please continue to pay attention to the defense of the castle.”
Ethan replied roughly and headed towards the interior.
Then, suddenly, someone ran lightly and stopped in front of Ethan.
It was Calia.
“Heir of the oath, how are you?”
“No problem.”
Then Kalia sighed and wiped her chest.
“I’m happy. I felt the same evil aura from the rebels as they did a hundred years ago, so I was very worried.”
“Evil spirit? Are you talking about magic?”
“yes. Any problem?”
After all, it was natural to feel the magic since the clan used dark magic over and over again.
However, I was reluctant to express my magical energy as an evil energy or anything.
“Isn’t the word “evil energy” too grandiose? You could just call it magic.”
“Then I will say so. By the way, why did you leave the castle?”
“I have something to check.”
At Ethan’s words, Calia tilted her head.
“I wanted to see with my own eyes these people called blood relatives. I just ran into them and came to a conclusion, so now I’m going to get started.”
“Confirmation, what do you mean?”
Ethan’s footsteps on the way to the interior stopped.
Ethan grinned and answered Calia’s question.
“Whether or not the skills are under my feet.”

bang! bang!
In the vicinity of the city of Nouvel, the sound of untimely construction was heard.
Hundreds of thousands of rebels were being built fortresses made of wood.
The rebels had decided to create a temporary base near the city of Nouvel.
In addition, numerous blacksmiths who had been captured as slaves continued to beat their hammers in front of the hot flames.
It was to produce the equipment necessary for war.
However, instead of full of healthy vitality, the hot flames and the shady energy from all directions made it seem like the magic of the people.
A middle-aged man who was watching it from afar opened his mouth.
“This alone is not enough.”
He was Gilbert, the head of the clan.
Gilbert’s eyes fell heavy.
He recalled an injury he sustained in a clash with Ethan not long ago.
There was a fairly large wound to the abdomen that Ethan had trampled on without mercy.
Even with the skin strengthened through dark magic, magic, and various experiments, it was not possible to withstand Ethan’s might.
‘That’s why his strength was transcendent.’
Gilbert realized it only after bumping into Ethan.
So even if he faced Ethan again, he wasn’t sure that he would win.
That was why he was in agony until late at night.
“Isn’t that the only way?”
Gilbert recalled the last resort.
