On the other hand, on the ground when Ethan’s party was underground.
Sasak!
A gang was moving fast in the fog.
They were all wearing masks.
“Where the hell are you hiding? You bastards.”
“It’s in the fog, so it’s rather difficult for us to track over there.”
They were hiding their faces with masks, but their identities were clear.
It was part of Aurum’s delegation in the State of Nouvelle.
More precisely, it was a dark follower.
Philip Gordon in the mask felt disappointed.
It was the most ideal plan for the princess to die alone in Nouvel.
But somehow, the princess noticed the true nature of the mist and ran out of Nouvel.
It was fine up to there.
Because Philip and his party were hiding on the outskirts of Nouvel City.
However, the princess and her party, who ran away from the solo dance, disappeared from their sight.
“Gordon, you were the one who planned this. What are we going to do now?”
“I wouldn’t have gone that far. I’m going to look around here again.”
That was then.
“for a moment!”
One of the masked men raised a hand.
“There is a problem. The magic circle in the tunnel was affected by divine power.”
“What? What nonsense is that?!”
“Literally. It seems that the princess and her priests have found a tunnel. Hurry!”
It was a moment of shock, and the masked people calmed down.
It seems that the princess and her party accidentally discovered a tunnel and went into it.
They smiled slyly.
“Hey, if you sneak in, you’ll hold your breath, but you dare touch the magic circle? cheeky things.”
“It must have been an attempt to get rid of the poisonous dance. To write shallow numbers without knowledge of dark magic.”
“Great success is a winning party. Let’s go.”
That was correct.
Unlike the masked people who knew the structure of the tunnel, the princess and her party wouldn’t even know the proper exit.
As long as this happened, the sky was on their side.
All I had to do was chase after those trapped in the tunnel.
‘Something is strange.’
However, Philip Gordon, who followed his colleagues and flew the new model, felt something ominous.
– That priest named Ethan, who the hell is he?
It was because the words of Matilda Harper came to mind in response to her question.
– He’s really crazy.
* * *
bang!
The exit of the tunnel, which had been cleverly hidden, opened with a loud noise.
A shadow of a person could be seen through the hazy dust.
Ethan was the first to break through the dust.
“Hey, Ethan. I don’t even know what happened to the solo dance, so don’t be that advanced.”
At Jacob’s words, the others procrastinated and could not get out.
However, Ethan was rather calm.
“it’s okay. The fog is still there, but the toxicity is gone.”
“What? Is that real?”
Jacob rushed forward and looked around.
Ethan was right.
The black mist that looked like the shadow of a reaper had disappeared.
Jacob was amazing.
“Nonsense. I touched the dark magic circle that I had never seen before, and I thought that was the proper way to destroy it?”
What Jacob said was absolutely wrong.
But Ethan decided to just move on.
“Looks like I was lucky.”
“Man, this is just not good enough! It was as if Pars-sama helped me.”
Jacob turned back and beckoned to his men.
“You can come with me. The solo dance is all gone.”
Not surprisingly, the Paladins as well as Cynthia were greatly surprised.
“Do all the saint candidates have the same skills as Ethan Priest?”
Jacob answered Cynthia’s question.
“Is it possible? That guy is special.”
“Excellent… … . It certainly seems like that.”
Cynthia looked at Ethan’s back.
Ethan was oriented to secure an escape route.
Just then, Ethan turned around.
Cynthia quickly looked away.
Ethan said to Jacob as if he didn’t notice the gaze.
“The poison is gone from the fog, but the fog remains, so we need to move quickly. At least this mist was made with dark magic, but I haven’t been able to find a way to get rid of it for now.”
“okay. You never know when they will come after you.”
Jacob agreed with that opinion.
They took steps to protect Cynthia.
That was then.
Sasak!
Popularity rang out from beyond the fog.
Ethan murmured lowly.
“It’s an attack.”
Sreung!
At the same time, Jacob and the Paladins and Ben drew their swords.
And the daggers flew all at once in the fog.
All of the daggers were targeting Cynthia.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Visor! Fight!The daggers bounced off the swords of the paladins.
“Reorganize your formation!”
ride it!
At Jacob’s command, the Paladins moved in unison.
It was a formation to protect Cynthia as much as possible and respond to the surprise attack.
Immediately, the masked men came out of the mist.
Kagang!
Every time the sword and the sword collided, sparks burst out of the mist.
Occasionally, a dark magic attack flew in from the fog and tried to disturb the formation.
‘You’re playing insignificant tricks in front of me.’
Ethan used his divine power to deflect dark magic attacks.
However, as time passed, the situation turned against Ethan and the others.
The haze was gone, but the fog was still thick.
Moreover, it was because Ethan and his party were outnumbered compared to the masked men.
“ね!”
The paladins began to get hurt one by one.
In particular, Jacob suffered an injury as he was outnumbered in the lead alone.
“Shit!”
Jacob snorted and wiped the blood from his eyes.
‘The clock is bad because of the fog.’
The raiders hiding in the mist showed no sign of diminishing.
“Captain, are you okay?”
“Don’t worry about me!”
It was difficult to properly examine the condition of the colleague right next to him.
Thus, Ethan and his group were struggling to maintain their formation, relying on their voice and presence.
At that time, Ethan, who was blocking the dark magic, looked around.
There really was no mess.
Even if Ethan disappeared, it was such a difficult battle that no one would notice.
‘then… … .’
Ethan’s eyes narrowed.
And after a while, Ethan’s figure disappeared from the formation.
* * *
‘They have received quite a bit of training.’
The masked man bit his lip in embarrassment.
He thought they would be able to finish it easily because they were outnumbered.
However, despite repeated attacks, the formation of the Paladins was not disturbed.
In the thick fog, Yongke was defending like an iron wall.
‘I have no choice but to work together!’
The masked man sensed the faint magical power beside him.
Having magical powers meant that he was his comrade.
With the intention of attacking together, the Masked Man prepared a dark magic to pour out on the Paladins with all his might.
But that was the wrong decision.
“Uh-huh!”
The masked man who was secretly preparing dark magic in the thick fog spit out a flurry.
An evil hand of power was clasping his neck.
“Uh, why?”
The masked man turned his eyes and looked to his side.
It was because someone who had no doubt that he was a colleague was strangling his neck.
“Are you eating better than you think?”
His murmur was heard.
Surprisingly, it was a familiar voice to the masked man.
It was because of the voice of the priest who was called the miracle boy among the crowd they were pursuing.
But that was absurd.
‘A miracle boy, a priest of the Pars Church has magical powers?’
It was incomprehensible to the common sense of the masked man.
But it actually happened.
‘You must tell your colleagues!’
The masked man raised his voice desperately.
“Be careful everyone! Here’s the magic… … !”
drop.
But before he could finish speaking, Ethan had to break the masked man’s neck first.
The dead cannot open their mouths.
With that, the masked man’s thoughts were cut off.
Ethan, on the other hand, was convinced of one thing.
By using this thick fog, he can move freely without revealing his existence.
“I can sort it all out.”
Ethan, who muttered softly, immediately blew up the new model.
* * *
A bloody smell of cruel blood spread through the mist.
It was the scent of death.
Jacob was at the forefront and leading the Paladins.
And the Dark Followers continued to attack desperately to stop it.
The situation seemed to turn in favor of the Dark Followers.
But suddenly, at some point, Victory began to lean on the Paladins.
‘The number of attacks coming in from the fog has decreased compared to before.’
‘How did this happen?’
Paladins had such a question.
But still, because of the fierce battle, I couldn’t think leisurely.
Meanwhile, Ethan roamed through the mist like a fish in water.
fault!
No matter how much magical power was used, it was inevitably difficult to identify the enemy in the thick fog.
Ethan was digging into the gap.
‘Kill as many as possible before they are discovered!’
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
It was the moment when the cruelty and accumulated combat experience of a previous life were displayed.
“Big!”
The masked men struggled with all their might in the fog.
However, he was helpless by Ethan’s offensive.
They would not have dared to imagine.
The enemy with magical powers that you thought was safe?
That is why the masked people had their eyes open and their noses cut even though they knew that an unknown death was taking place in the mist.
Whoops!
Ethan took the Masked Man’s dagger and used it skillfully.
He wasn’t an outstanding knight in his previous life.
Aiming a sneak attack in the thick fog was possible for anyone, even if they didn’t have exceptional skills.
It was a time when the number of masked people was rapidly decreasing.
fault!
A masked man grabbed Ethan’s dagger, who was about to attack.
Blood flowed from the masked man’s hand.
However, the masked man seemed unwilling to let go of the dagger he was holding.
Then a familiar voice was heard.
“Who are you?”
One of the Dark Followers was Philip Gordon.
Philip had finally noticed the anomaly in the fog.
Blood was dripping from the hand holding the dagger, but Philip did not move.
‘Are you saying that you have the ability to take on the weight?’
Ethan smirked.
If it had been the same, he would have taken a step back to hide his identity as before.
But now a thick fog hid him.
So Ethan didn’t have to worry about revealing his true color.
“You chose the wrong opponent today.”
Ethan muttered softly.
Except for this guy who’s going to die anyway.
* * *
“You chose the wrong opponent today.”
At that moment, Philip’s eyes widened.
He later realized that the voice belonged to Ethan.
But it was too late to turn around.
“The magic circle that created the solo dance. It was a lot more complicated than I thought.”
“What does a priest baboon know?”
Philip was furious at Ethan’s harsh criticism.
“The magic circle was missing some important things.”
“what?”
As Ethan said, the Dark Followers could not create a magic circle that creates a solo dance exactly as the original content was.
This is because there were parts of the record that were lost over the course of a hundred years.
So Philip had no choice but to tinker with the magic circle to create more solo dances.
‘How did you know that? As if he knew all about dark magic?’
While Philip felt confused, Ethan covered Philip’s mouth with his hand.
“The chatter ends here. Goodbye.”
