59 – Warlock (3)

“And hyung, don’t let anyone come in except those I allow until the party is over, including my hyung.”

“yes? Then Asher stays free?”

“right.”

Ardel let out a sigh.

Would you like to stay in one space with just the two of you?

Ardel has only one concern.

In the yard where there are not one but four lovers, will they really stand still?

It could be tolerated, given the enormous task of destroying the dark magic that would destroy the city, but emotionally it seemed impossible for a man and a woman to stay in one place.

If all the catastrophes were over, it seemed that the younger brother would have to deal with his enormous karma.

Besides, what if the two of you stay and do something?

No, I don’t need to worry about that. If you look closely, the younger brother was terribly indifferent to women.

Asher was close to something he didn’t know well to look indifferent.

There seemed to be no thinking in that direction.

“…Why don’t you rather use someone else, brother.”

“That’s not okay, there’s a reason I won’t let you in, too.”

“Why is Asher okay?”

My brother struggles with how to explain. spat out a few words.

“Because you seem lacking in common sense?”

“…don’t say that in front of yourself, I agree with you.”

Asher, who was standing in a daze, got angry when he suddenly ate curses at him.

It’s understandable that she was teased even by people she trusted when she felt sorry for her treatment these days.

“Are you making fun of me too?”

“That’s just what they say, that’s how much I can trust you.”

“…yes?”

The younger brother took over Asher’s anger very skillfully.

Exactly, is Asher too simple?

Ardel shook his head, a little puzzled.

You have to listen to your sister’s request, but you are responsible for the rest.

“Then I’ll go in, there’s no need to remove the furniture in the mayor’s office, and I should start working right away.”

“The mayor hasn’t given permission yet?”

“I can’t afford that.”

The younger brother entered the mayor’s office with Asher.

Ardel just watched it.

Until the door to that big mayor’s office was closed.

He sighed deeply.

The atmosphere had to be refreshed a few times due to the issue of Argal’s lover, but the sound of artillery fire from afar made Ardel’s mind frustrated.

…this is just the beginning.

Cities will fall and many people will die.

Until Argal destroys the black magic.

But even before his heart became heavy, the biggest obstacle appeared in front of him.

“uh? Oppa, where did Argal go?”

Seeing Raeli, who came all the way here in a hurry, sweating, Ardel was at a loss as to what to do.

Brother, isn’t this a very difficult mission?

I couldn’t help but worry about what to say to that girl.

I can’t let Raeli break into the mayor’s office in anger after hearing the true circumstances.

“First of all, Raeli, I want you to keep in mind that this is a very important matter.”

“There is nothing unimportant right now. So where did Argal and Asher disappear alone?”

Raeli said calmly.

Ardel’s appearance, which didn’t seem angry, was contradictory, so Ardel’s back broke into cold sweat.

“Two went into the mayor’s office.”

“Are you alone?”

“yes.”

The truth was brought out, but Raeli was surprisingly calm.

He leaned against the wall, looking like he was thinking about something.

I told Ardel, who was restless on what to do.

“it’s okay. It would be more important if Argal could really destroy black magic.”

“I’m glad if you think so.”

“…Of course, I’m going to put up with it now, and later when the job is done.”

Raeli clasped both hands tightly.

The power that went into it was accumulated, to the point where you could see all the veins.

“I’ll judge you based on what you did in there.”

“…you don’t have to worry about that.”

Ardel wasn’t worried in that direction.

No matter how much a man and a woman stay together, it wouldn’t be strange no matter what happens, but from his point of view, neither of them seems to be that way.

**

The mayor’s office was very quiet.

As soon as I entered this large room, everything was quiet.

The sound of gunfire pounding on the walls.

I didn’t even feel the presence of Ardel, who was guarding the door.

It’s like stepping into a completely different dimension.

“Assel.”

I’m trying to speak straightforwardly.

As soon as I sang the song, her innocent eyes turned to me.

She seemed to have little common sense as usual.

At worst, I’m just an idiot, and at best, I don’t care much about what I do and believe me.

As expected, I revealed one of my many secrets.

“I am a warlock.”

“…yes?”

Changsung tilted his head.

So what is the problem is the face.

I wondered if Changsung didn’t know much about black magicians, so I asked again.

“You don’t know about Changseong, the black magician?”

“no? Garbage that uses humans as livestock, sinners who kill even children as sacrifices, beings that should be eliminated from the continent.”

…it’s a problem you know too well.

Are you still showing the same attitude as before?

“Then I’m a warlock, am I a piece of trash that needs to be eliminated?”

“…Argal, did you make humans your livestock?”

“no.”

If it were before the regression, there would be examples where it could be seen that way, but not now.

“Then did you kill the child?”

…before the regression.

I never killed intentionally.

I have killed when simultaneous slaughter was necessary just for the sake of transcendence.

Oddly enough.

Chang-seong’s questions indirectly made him feel the sins he would commit before returning.

Even though I was saying words that expressed clear trust, my heart felt even heavier.

“…no.”

“Argal is using his own lifespan to use black magic, but why do you feel repulsive?”

She approached with the same logic as the Sword Saint.

Chang-seong, who slowly approached me and hugged me tightly, said so.

“If you’re hiding the fact that you’re a warlock from us for fear of getting into trouble, then you don’t have to worry about that.”

“…is it?”

“Won’t everyone say it’s okay?”

Standing like that, I felt a strange feeling when I physically touched her.

No, rather, why are you doing this?

“So why did you hug me?”

“You said you would change your mind.”

Will you forget the time when you revealed Changsung’s heart and declared that you would change me?

I know that’s the intention, but something was wrong.

What does this have to do with not wanting to die?

“It’s the perfect environment for just the two of us, and now we have to show it through our actions.”

“Are you going to change my mind with this?”

“Yeah, is that weird?”

Totally strange.

Compared to before the regression, isn’t it unimaginable?

Shaking his head, he removed the spear that was stuck to him.

Now is not the time for this.

“Hey… .”

“First, I plan to drill through the ceiling.”

The analysis of this room has already been completed.

There is a need to build a structure that can look up to the sky.

You don’t have to work in a fuss.

I write the magic that I have drawn so far.

The center of the ceiling turned to powder and began to fall.

The use of black magic was very diverse.

If Magi’s corrupting nature is used to the extreme, this result will come out.

The roof of the building is starting to crumble.

The ceiling opened and I could see the open sky.

In the sky, crystals of black magic were made to calm the atmosphere.

Its presence alone gives everyone a sense of despair.

Changsung, pushed away from me, looked at the broken ceiling and said.

“What kind of black magic is this?”

“Corruption black magic.”

“Can I use that on a person?”

“It will rot and die.”

It’s kind of bloody black magic.

If you use it on a person, your whole body will rot in real time and you will die.

Changsung didn’t pay much attention to it, perhaps because he simply asked out of curiosity.

I looked at the sky and just quietly watched me.

“What am I going to do next?”

The reason Changseong is here is a simple assistant.

It’s not about supporting black magic.

There are many reasons why you need an assistant, but if there is one of them.

Took-

I lightly stabbed my fingertips with a dagger.

As the blood flowed out, he slowly drew his teeth on the floor and drew a magic circle.

If you draw a magic circle drawn with Magi, you can only get a temporary effect.

Conversely, the magic circle drawn with blood continued to be maintained unless the blood was erased.

Until all the vitality of the blood is consumed.

I couldn’t complete the black magic I wanted with only one person’s blood.

I looked at Asher.

“Can I use some of your blood?”

“…Yes, take it anytime.”

Prisoner’s blood could have been used.

But isn’t it a law that you can’t always have a prisoner by your side?

So I needed a spear that could stay by my side and put out fresh blood.

Blood in black magic is one of the symbolic sacrifices, and there is always a sudden need at any moment.

I poke her finger lightly with a dagger.

The dripping blood completed a wider magic circle along the path drawn by the magician.

Chang-seong, who was looking at it, said nonsense.

“…Are you going to share blood with this?”

“Let’s not talk nonsense.”

It must be blood mixed with blood.

But what the hell do you mean by that?

Anyway, a simple magic circle was completed.

A red light adorned the surroundings, and I began to analyze the black magic.

…Maybe people had already died in the city, and the sky was absorbing a large amount of demonic energy.

I hope the city will last a long time.

If you don’t, all of this will be for nothing.

Staring at the black sky, I began to analyze.

To find vulnerabilities as quickly as possible.

To make as few people die as possible.

**

The hero looked up at the blue sky and murmured.

“But, there’s no good way.”

She vowed to bring down the royal family, but knew she couldn’t do it right away.

It’s best to somehow support the city to block the Black Tower Lord, and then bring down the royal family.

While blaming himself for not being able to work, he moved to gather the maximum power.

boldly and proactively.

There was no need to worry about the relationship with the royal family.

So, induce them to disobey the Crown Prince’s orders.

“…Hero?”

Pushing the knight commander who had been reading the knights for a while in front of him, the hero stepped forward to the podium.

The warrior proudly shouted.

“I assure you, the capital is safe.”

The prince’s orders were like a fortified wall.

In order to tear down this wall, he had to deny every single one of his orders from beginning to end.

The capital is not dangerous.

No, it can’t be dangerous.

Only the gaze of the Black Tower Lord was directed to Anthony.

“But right now, Anthony is being attacked by warlocks. Everyone must have felt the powerful wave of magic. I know, and all of you who are skilled enough will know.”

Ordinary citizens, how can those who have sufficiently trained their mana and reached a great level not know about the waves of demons?

No knight denied the hero’s words.

The captain of the knights, who had become embarrassing as a middle manager, approached the hero and muttered quietly.

“Hero, you can’t do this.”

“…I even gave you a seal, but are you going to break your promise, Captain?”

“I will give it back. I have a duty to be loyal to the royal family, and this loyalty cannot be broken. Hero, please find another way… .”

seureung-

The warrior took out his sword.

The moment I decided to leave.

There is nothing to break this resolution.

A hero with solid convictions and spirit has already made up his mind.

The hero’s sword headed towards the knight commander.

“I challenge you to a duel. Captain.”

The leader is obviously strong.

However, the black pagoda wine is stronger.

Against such an enemy, boys and girls who were not even warriors moved to defend the city.

At such a time, just because a hero is a strong enemy, will he remain still with defeat in mind?

A duel is to risk a knight’s honor.

The knight commander’s expression became serious.

It wasn’t the face that looked at the grumbling of a still-young kid.

He drew his sword and pointed the golden engraved sword line toward the hero.

“Are you serious, hero?”

“I am serious. If you’re defeated by me, the captain will move the knights right away, and if I’m defeated, I’ll hand over the seal.”
