That premonition was not an illusion!
In fact, Fenrir stepped onto the bed and jumped onto Ethan’s shoulders.
bruise! bruise!
I don’t help you!
As if to say that, Fenrir barked loudly several times.
‘What did this mutt eat wrong?!’
Ethan shrugged his shoulders with a contorted face.
However, Fenrir stuck to it and did not fall off.
Fenrir seemed to be misunderstanding something.
Ethan looked down at the hand holding the fragment of the demon sword and realized the reason.
Now, Edan was trying to create new magic from the fragments of the demon sword that had absorbed the demon king’s blood.
Under its influence, Ethan’s hand was surrounded by a fiercely fighting light and darkness.
It was truly spectacular.
‘Is that shit?’
However, Fenrir took the process wrong.
I mean, Ethan is purifying magic!
“Okay, so let’s go!”
It looked like it was sprinkled with ash on the finished soup.
Desperate, Ethan could not hide his true nature and shouted at Fenrir.
bruise! bruise!
Believe me!
However, Fenrir placed his nose on Ethan’s arm that was holding the fragment of the demon sword.
Ethan’s warning didn’t work.
A faint light spread from where Fenrir rested his nose.
The divine power is amplified.
It must have been something I was doing to help Ethan.
However.
‘No, this motherf*cker is trying to kill me?!’
But for Ethan now, it was like trying to kill him.
Ethan poured out all sorts of cursing inside him.
Because of Fenrir, the divine power in his body was amplified, and Ethan’s work to create divine magic was being hampered.
It was a similar incident to Pache, but there was something different.
‘Now there is no place to release the amplified energy!’
At that time, the amplified divine power could be sent to the cursed forest.
But now I couldn’t.
“Wow!”
I felt my body being torn apart.
I felt like I was going to vomit blood at any moment.
cry!
Ethan barely swallowed the blood that ran down his throat.
My mind was dizzy when I remembered what would happen if I vomited blood here.
‘Look, what more will that damn bastard or ignorant bastard do!’
Ethan clenched his teeth and grabbed the mind that was getting distant.
And he barely pushed the new magic that came from the fragments of the demon sword into the danjeon.
The work was very careful and calm.
‘It’s been done many times already. you can do it.’
Time passed like such a fierce battle.
* * *
“Huh! Whoops!”
Ethan caught his breath.
He managed to complete the task of converting the amplified divine power into divine magic and putting it in the danjeon.
Ethan turned his head to make a whistling sound and looked at Fenrir.
But Fenrir rubbed his head on Ethan’s lap without notice.
Come on, give me a compliment!
It was as if he were saying that.
Ethan clenched his teeth.
I felt like I would feel relieved if I had to blow honey chestnuts to that heinous bastard who tried to kill me.
It was then that Ethan lightly clenched his fist.
Knicks approached Ethan.
“Are you okay? I kept quiet because I thought it would be disturbing if I act hastily.”
“ah. it’s ok, it’s ok It was good that you stayed still.”
A guy who was not normally aware of this, had an eye at this time.
‘If you went out too, you wouldn’t end up with a honey night.’
Ethan sincerely praised the Knicks.
Not knowing Ethan’s speed like that, Nyx’s eyes twinkled as if he had seen an impressive masterpiece.
“I was amazed to see Shinsu helping Priest Ethan! It’s amazing that you can communicate with Shinsoo too!”
Fenrir roared like a wolf with his chest open, as if he knew what I was talking about.
Aww!
There were only thugs in all directions.
“Haha, right. consensus… Yes, communion is very good.”
Ethan clashed without a soul.
The fist clenched to hit the honey chestnut was opened.
‘Let’s see the opportunity later and try to fix that shit.’
Ethan promised to:
“Hey, but you vomited blood. Are you okay? I will treat you.”
Nix was surprised to see the blood on Ethan’s lips.
Then, he created divine power in his hands.
“… … !”
Ethan sighed and stepped back.
Nick tilted his head.
“Why? You need treatment.”
“No, because I’m not serious.”
Ethan rolled his eyes and found Cynthia.
And quickly pointed to it.
“It’s better to take care of the princess at a time like this. Because of the constitution, ordinary people cannot receive treatment.”
Ben was looking at him with worried eyes.
At times, it was a good excuse.
“okay. My thoughts were short.”
Knicks understood Ethan’s words.
Blood was still dripping from Cynthia’s wrist.
“Please heal your Highness quickly.”
At Ben’s urging, Nyx hurriedly approached Cynthia.
In the meantime, Ethan placed the fragment of the demon sword he was holding in his hand.
pass.
The fragments of the demon sword turned into ashes and disappeared.
Ethan stared blankly at it and bowed his head.
And he opened his mouth in amazement.
‘I almost lost it!’
It was a moment where I didn’t know what kind of mind passed.
Ethan took a breath and pushed his body into a mess.
Ethan remembered what had just happened.
-There is no place to release the amplified energy now!
As the thought crossed his mind, something caught Ethan’s eyes.
It was a fragment of a magic sword.
‘Let’s pour the divine power here as soon as possible! You will die anyway, and you will die anyway!’
And as a result, Ethan survived.
Ethan gulped down his saliva, thinking about the fragments of the demon sword that had disappeared into ashes.
If the amplified divine power had not been released as fragments of the demon sword, it would have been Ethan who disappeared as ashes.
‘However.’
Ethan clenched his fists.
The new magic felt in Danjeon is much greater than before.
‘It’s different from my previous life. Now I can build up my strength as much as I want.’
It was quite different from his previous life, when he faced his natural birth and had to play the role of a servant of the enemy and aim at the back.
His gaze turned to Cynthia.
Her face was relieved, the seizures from the poison had disappeared.
‘okay. I went through that hardship, but I should be alive.’
Now that the bait has been saved, all we need to do is use it to track down the dark follower.
Ethan grinned inwardly.
He was burning with enmity against the Dark Followers, who made him suffer.
It was Fenrir who, in fact, pushed him off the cliff, an outrageous hostility.
I look forward to the day when the Dark Followers will be found and slaughtered.

the next day.
Ethan was quietly meditating in his dormitory.
He contemplated his inner world and closely observed the divine magic within him.
The divine magic was maintained in a larger form in a marble smaller than dust.
‘If this is enough, 4th grade holy magic and 4th circle dark magic would be possible.’
Ethan was astonished.
As the new magic increased, the range of divine power and magic that Ethan could utilize also increased.
As a result, it meant that Ethan’s magic level had risen dramatically.
‘But that’s only incidental.’
Ethan smiled faintly.
The jet-black eyes had infinite magical power.
Also, a large amount of divine power was scattered in Ethan’s body.
It was obtained by overcoming the crisis of life in the blessing ceremony of the key as a child.
‘When I think about that time, my teeth still tremble.’
Ethan’s brow furrowed.
Anyway, magical power and divine power, these two were in balance in Ethan’s body.
Whether it’s dark magic or holy magic, whenever you try to overuse either one of magical power or holy power to use high-level magic, the power of the opposite attribute eats up the opponent and tries to suppress it.
Of course, there was no problem when projecting from the hand or body by simply primitive means without using magic.
It was enough to take the damage and release it.
‘But in delicate high-level magic, it acts as an obstacle.’
That was Ethan’s problem.
Whenever high level magic was used, if magic or divine power interfered, the difficulty level of high level magic would rise exponentially.
So, the dark magic that Ethan was able to use so far was 3rd circle, and the divine magic was 3rd grade.
However, as the new magic power increased, the situation changed.
By amplifying less energy, it was possible to supply the magical or divine power required for high-level magic.
‘Thanks to you, the way to use high-ranking magic has been opened.’
It was an opportunity for Ilshin’s fighting power, which was frustrating for Edan, to rise dramatically.
‘And above all else… … .’
Ethan looked down at his hand.
In his hand was a stone the size of his fist.
However, when Ethan gave her strength, the stone crumbled and turned into sand.
‘Thanks to the divine magic, the physical ability has increased dramatically.’
It was amazing.
Using the ‘Demon Will’, the ability of the jet-black eyes, Ethan has steadily strengthened his physical abilities with the vitality he obtained from dead animals.
The divine magic inflated the enhanced physical ability.
It was a result that the average person would be very satisfied with.
But Ethan muttered as he looked at the remains of the stone that had fallen to the floor.
“It’s still not enough.”
* * *
profit.
The door to the dark dungeon opened and light leaked through the crack.
A man came in with two guards ahead.
As the sound of footsteps resounded, the prisoners pricked up their ears.
The same was true of the remnants of the empire.
Rumble!
They hurriedly cling to the iron bars and shouted.
“We did nothing! Please release me!”
“Let me get out of here! My family would starve to death without me!”
Coming here with a guard, the man must have been a high-ranking official.
Or it could have been the regent.
The remnants of the empire desperately pleaded innocence.
At that moment, a man approached the iron bars.
The man’s face was revealed by the torch in the dungeon.
“Ugh!”
The remnants of the Empire retreated in bewilderment.
The man in the pure white priest’s uniform was Ethan.
They whispered among themselves.
“Why is the priest here?”
“It could be because of a divine trial.”
“But that priest is the one who embraced us last time.”
“Still, I don’t know. The Pars Church hates people with magical powers.”
“Have you already decided what to do with us?”
No matter how much I thought about it, the priest’s visit was not very pleasant.
It was a time when people were so desperate.
“Open the door and set them free.”
Something completely unexpected happened.
Ethan had the guards open the prison door.
“… … ?!”
People were startled and just looked at each other.
The guard opened the door with a look of disbelief.
“Don’t procrastinate, come out quickly.”
The people looked out at Ethan and the guards.
Ethan rushed the guard.
“Are you sure there are people locked up in other places besides this one? Release them too.”
“Sir, priest, is it really okay to do this? It’s not something the Regent gave permission for.”
The guard held the key and hesitated.
Then Ethan responded as if it was rather strange.
“It was ordered by the princess, the orthodox heir of the new empire. Why is the regent talking here?”
There was nothing right to say.
The guards were forced to release the prisoners in other rooms as well.
Ethan soon left the dungeon with the remnants of the Empire.
People were happy to see the sun after a long time.
But even then, Ethan’s actions were questioned.
“Hey, Priest. Why did you release us?”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t sin? He was arrested just because he had magical powers, so he thought it was right to release him.”
“… … !”
People were very surprised by that.
Some wept and complained of injustice.
“No, that’s right. We didn’t hurt anyone. But no one believed it.”
“I was arrested after a friend reported it. When he found out he had magical powers, he cursed him for being dirty.”
Soon, people hugged each other and cried.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became a sea of tears.
However, Ethan did not get carried away and checked his plans for the future.
‘This will make the regent’s daughter move.’
The use of the dregs of the Empire ended as they searched for the fragments of Belashtan.
Even if they were framed and were in the dungeon, it was not to Ethan’s benefit.
So Ethan intended to free the people so that the regent’s daughter would move.
Then, one of the people who were hugging each other and crying asked:
“Thank you, Priest, for setting us free. But are you okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“The regent or nobles who have been attacked may not stand still.”
Then the people next to him clapped.
“Right. We are concerned about you.”
“We want to help, but there is no way. uhh.”
I didn’t know who cared about whom.
Ethan laughed softly.
“I am a saint candidate. I will not tolerate a divine trial by framed one.”
People were bewildered by Ethan’s resolute tone.
As he said, Ethan was not afraid of the regent at all.
