How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 31

Episode 31

“Huh… … Heo-eok… … .”

Ian ran up the stairs.

A spiral staircase that runs along the wall.

Dealing with the ghouls densely located there one by one.

“Gigi-!”

“Kuk!”

Kwakwawang!

Just like I did with Xian earlier, I punch a hole in the ghoul’s chest with three fireballs.

However, there was no draft to finish here.

Ian took care of them while finishing himself with a dagger dipped in holy water.

“There are a lot of dogs, really!”

However, the number was bound to swear.

Pierce the chest with a sphere of fire and take a dagger to the magic stone.

Almost every time I climbed the stairs, it seemed that I was taking care of one or two.

“I can’t get hold of this… … .”

You can’t ignore that either.

Because they were physically blocking the stairs.

Whiik!

While I was breathing for a while, the ghoul raised its claws and scratched me.

Ian lowered his head to avoid it, grabbed the ghoul, and threw it back.

The ghoul, unable to overcome its strength and being passed over, fell down along with the ghoul coming up from below.

“ha… … ha… … .”

and rose again

Slowly your feet get heavy.

Even though he was an Everwhale student who worked hard every day, he gradually showed his limits.

Then finally.

“Ian!”

reached the top

In one of the rooms there, Ian found Rayna tied up.

She was in the midst of trying to break the chain somehow, rubbing herself against a piece of brick that had come out.

“Raina! body!”

“are you okay! Did you come alone?”

“Me and Xian. He went underground to catch the criminal.”

Sharing information quickly, Ian pulled the chains that bound Reina.

“Whoa… … .”

“Are you okay? It looks very difficult.”

“I just lost a little bit of stamina.”

“What about mana?”

“Fine… … No, it’s a little tight. It’s getting to the bottom.”

The chains loosened and Reina stepped forward, loosening her stiff wrists and ankles.

“Let’s go down first. I will lead.”

“huh.”

The two of them confidently headed for the stairs.

but there.

“Ugh… … .”

“device… … .”

I saw more ghouls than before.

Rayna stopped and Ian was disgusted.

But we cannot stop here.

Rayna held out her hand to Ian.

“-? what?”

“Are you holy water? Just give me one bottle.”

Ian put his hand in his chest.

Then it just hardened.

“what’s the matter?”

Reina looked back at Ian with a puzzled face when she couldn’t catch anything even after waiting.

“I do have… … .”

Ian took out the holy water. I still had it left.

But it was only one bottle.

“Is there only one bottle left?”

“I also used it while hunting in the morning… … Even coming this far, I spent a lot of money… … .”

“How can I use it up without thinking! What were you thinking when you left!”

“I thought it was still plenty! No, what about yours? Aren’t you supposed to have about 4 bottles left?”

“Is there?! The bastard I kidnapped broke everything!”

Crisp.

As the two were arguing, the ghouls finally stepped on the floor at the top.

The ghouls coming up.

Ian and Rayna broke into cold sweats.

“Hey, let’s share this for now.”

Ian coated the dagger with holy water, and also applied the other dagger he had on hand to hand over to Reina.

Reina had been deprived of all weapons, including the holy water.

It was a pity that there was no room for the cane, but I had to accept that.

You can’t use magic or not because you don’t have a wand.

“Raina.”

“why.”

“I’ll see you alive and well.”

“It’s sinister, so don’t say such a thing.”

Looking at the waves of ghouls covering their vision, the two swallowed their saliva.

* * *

Heavenly Sword (霜天劍), Heavenly Thunder (天雷).

The essence of striking that has been forged and forged from numerous sword techniques.

If the island focused on speed and Cham focused on calm and its radius, Chun Lei insisted on only one thing.

destructive power.

Willingness to break and sever everything it touches.

Because of this, originally, it was not possible to use it so easily.

He gave up everything to increase his power.

Originally, when it comes to swordsmanship, in any case, attack and defense are mixed in a certain ratio.

Swordsmanship with 70 balls and 30 moves is said to be aggressive, and swordsmanship with 30 balls and 70 moves is said to be very hard.

There was no swordsmanship that was biased to either side.

Because it’s a flawed swordsmanship.

Nonetheless, Xi’an deliberately ignored all defenses in the case of lightning strikes.

There was no philosophy whatsoever. Just for the simple reason that this one seemed more useful.

Giving up wasn’t the only thing.

Chun-roe, who pushes beyond the limit of the body, is no small burden on the body.

If you don’t do it right, it’s a skill that overloads enough to carry one arm.

However, Xi’an was able to use it with minimal burden.

Power Gauntlet.

The transcendence of power brought by the sorcery greatly reduced the burden of technology.

It was one of the reasons why he invested a lot of time in controlling the ‘power’ of witchcraft.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

Lightning fell on the blood knight.

Seeing Xian’s sword, the guy flinched greatly.

Then, soon, a strange light began to shine in the two eyes that had been staring.

“Gwu!”

The guy raised all his swords and tried to block Xian’s sword.

A defensive posture that could not be more perfect than this.

In addition, the bloody energy began to explode from the body and began to tightly wrap the guy.

however.

Kwakwagwagwang!

The action he should have taken was evasion, not defense.

The sword that Verium forged by squeezing out the remaining strength, and the bloody aura that went into a crouching stance.

Nothing could stop Xian’s sword.

thunderstorm.

Herbivore with the will to cut the sky.

It just wasn’t something that could be stopped.

“Keep it off!”

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

An explosion echoed, and Xian’s sword dug into the blood knight’s shoulder.

Then he came down without hesitation and cut the guy’s groin in a straight line.

The cross section, the cross section of the ghoul’s body, like a tangled branch, was charred black.

at that time.

“!”

The body of a guy split in half. One of them jumped up and charged Xian.

“… … .”

But that’s it.

Xian’s eyes sank.

The blood knight’s hand did not reach Xian.

Instead of being purified with holy water, the magic stone inside his body was completely destroyed by Xian’s sword.

-Broken… … sir… … .

Blood Knight Fredel.

A knight of integrity who protected the fallen family of Beriam until the end.

But that long wandering ends here.

fluff.

Her remains fell helplessly to the floor.

Xian looked down at it.

Victory and defeat were decided, but one question remained.

‘I think I was trying to avoid it at first.’

The first time the guy saw the lightning strike.

The figure that flinched greatly was clearly an action to avoid the attack.

But why did it suddenly stop right there?

‘… … Is it because there is no ego?’

Is it because he is an undead with no ego controlled by Verium?

Because of what was remembered in the body, a reflex action came out, but I couldn’t move because of Beriam’s order to protect this place.

That was the most reasonable guess.

If that’s not the case… … .

“Whoa.”

Xian let out a small sigh and swept the sword away.

It’s already over.

What you see below is just ashes.

His body returned to ashes without leaving even a single magic stone.

Glancing at that, Xian swung his sword into the back aisle.

Kwagwagwang!

The underground passage cracked at random and poured into piles of stones.

The road he passed, the aisle was completely blocked.

“There is no escape.”

Bae-soo Jin blocking his retreat.

But at the same time, it was also to block Beriam’s retreat.

Because he had to catch Berrium right here no matter what.

‘Before it falls into the hands of the householder, I have to pull it out.’

After tightly blocking all escape routes, he ran deep underground.

* * *

“sh*t! sh*t!”

the very bottom of the tower. In the middle of an underground lake that exists there, Verium bit off her thumb nail.

Fredel stopped responding.

It meant that someone had been hurt.

“Useless b*tch!”

He spat out a harsh curse.

Anyway, that personality that was dull and full of regrets didn’t seem to get better even after death.

It wasn’t that hard since before.

“Block the entrance! If someone comes in, attack them immediately and kill them!”

He sounded the ban and ordered.

The ghouls near the lake headed for the entrance here.

Even with dozens of ghouls waiting, the mood didn’t improve at all.

The anxiety did not subside.

‘What happened? Is Xian that strong?’

The cause of anxiety was Xian’s unknown ability.

Fredel was not something that a mere student could beat.

A woman who was said to have reached the level of a high-night class in her lifetime, and if she had had a little more time, she would have reached the level of master.

Of course, since he had already died and was brought back to life as a member of his own family, he was only able to produce a portion of his former skills.

I couldn’t even use the sword skill, which is the core of High Night.

However, even so, it is an individual that has reached a high level.

Did Xian and the like take care of that?

There was only one possibility.

“You cheeky bastard… … You were hiding your skills.”

He hid his skills when he was with himself.

Hide your skills and hide your own death.

In the end, it is said that he was playing with him from beginning to end.

cringe

Verium gnashed her teeth, then took a deep breath to calm herself.

No, it’s done.

Whether you hide your skills or not, what you do doesn’t change.

ruthlessly tearing him apart

Now there is no reason to embellish it with an accident. Because it became clear that Werfed Agrid was aware of them.

‘I’m going to kill this as brutally as possible and use it as a warning.’

If you do that, others will take care of the rest.

That means he’s doing enough.

Although it was his own responsibility when he failed to assassinate Xian in the first place.

‘Slowly… … .’

After guessing the time, Beriam swallowed his saliva.

The location where Predel was placed and the time he was hit.

Considering that, it was time to get here by now.

He stared at the front entrance while slowly sounding a ban.

ready to attack at any moment.

and after a while

―Quaaang!

big riot.

Beriam looked up in surprise at the explosion overhead and the falling rubble.

The cyan was falling as it broke the ceiling above.

Not in front, but up!?

“This bird… … Kut!”

Cyan, who fell with the stone, kicked Beriam’s hand.

The gold medal in his hand fell far away and was submerged in the lake.

[The King of the Seas opens her eyes.]

[Shouting to cut off his cheeky wrists.]

‘I know!’

Beriam answered harshly and drew up the water.

The water of the underground lake took shape in an instant and formed the shape of a sword. It didn’t stop at that, but this time it was mixed with his blood.

Red drops of blood spread like ink in the blue stream and turned into a bloody sword.

Beriam tried to fight back at once while holding onto it.

and.

―Flash!

Lightning struck beside him.

“… … uh?”

He blankly turned his head.

His arm, which had just been made with a blood sword.

The whole arm was falling off.

“Quaaagh!”

Xian looked down at him.

Even as he watched Verium scream in pain, his eyes were as cold as arctic ice.
