How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Episode 43

Deep in the eastern part of a mountain range. where people cannot reach.

A clan lived there.

They were living among themselves, guarding the blue marble passed down from their ancestors and not having any ties to the secular world.

A woman from the clan who ran away, fed up with that life.

It was on a rainy day that the woman returned with the blue-haired child in her arms.

-please… … Aiman is… … .

Was it an illness, or was the spark of life exhausted by the arduous journey?

The woman died within a few days, leaving only the child.

A small child who wants to be 1 or 2 years old now.

-The traitor’s child.

-Chief. Isn’t that the child’s fault?

She is the child of a traitor who ran away from the village at will.

But that had nothing to do with children.

―Do you not even know who your father is?

-I know who the mother is. She lived next door to me as a child.

There was no clue who the child’s father was.

However, until the moment she died, the woman who only repeated the child’s name was their neighbor and family in the past.

—… … That guy was your fiancé. They betrayed you and ran out to create a child. Are you saying you will accept the child?

―If only the chieftain allows it, I will take responsibility for raising it.

-What if I don’t allow it?

―I will go out of town with my child.

—… … .

Even the old chief, who said he would be sad if he insisted on being second, could not break the man’s stubbornness on this day.

With the chief’s tacit approval, the child was accepted into the village.

And in the man’s hand, it grew up quickly.

Raising a child alone was a very daunting task, but fortunately, neighbors helped a lot.

It was a common perception among the villagers that although the woman who ran away was reprehensible, the child was innocent.

Except for one chieftain.

-dad. The chieftain must hate me… … .

―It’s not like that. just a little… … What is that, it’s just blunt.

―Even though you frown every time you look at me?

―It must be because you are so cute and pretty, hahahaha.

-really?

The child grew up receiving plenty of love from the kind villagers and father. bright and lively.

Except for the fear and discomfort of the old chieftain, the child had no worries or worries.

And, the day has come.

―aaa!

―Eh, run away! hurry!

– It’s a monster!

The village is burning.

Waves of fire, like the fires of hell, attacked them without mercy, as if threatening to wipe out all weak humans.

And there was only one person who caused the fire.

A terrible man with blood-red whites and black pupils like the abyss.

-Come this way! come this way!

– Oh, Dad!

Abi took the child and headed somewhere in a hurry.

A forbidden place in the village that you were told not to enter until you became an adult.

A child with tears in his eyes as he watched his dying neighbour, led by his father, set foot on the ban.

another one there. The chief was waiting.

-Chief! Eh, the village! Heck, heh heh heh!

In front of the child who shed tears like chicken droppings, the chief simply stood still with his back turned.

Stay still without saying anything.

After some time passed, the chief asked quietly.

-Allen.

―Yes, yes?

―Do you remember anything about your mother?

-Ah, no. I don’t know

Why are you asking about your mother in this situation? I was young enough to not even have such a simple question.

It’s just a scary grown-up asking, and I’m just answering it as it is.

The chieftain closed and opened his eyes once, then sighed.

A sigh of long regret.

-Your mother was a real fool. What kind of riches and honors are you going to enjoy in the secular world?

―Yes, yes?

The child was not yet old enough to understand these words.

-You’re stupid, you’re stupid. Life, happiness is not something to be found outside. No matter where you are, finding yourself is what is called happiness. What did he want to see in the outside world while cutting all ties with his family, neighbors, and even his fiancée?

—… … I understand. She was a free spirit.

―What do you understand? that eventually died.

I didn’t know much about the difficult stories of adults, but I seemed to know one thing.

That he was talking badly about his mother.

It was a mother who didn’t know her face and didn’t even remember her, but she still couldn’t stand it.

The mother that the child imagines in bed every night was a very kind and loving person.

―Mom is a good person!

-no. stupid woman, stupid woman Foolish… … .

… … Like a foolish daughter-in-law.

It was much later that the child came to understand the chieftain’s murmur.

The Chief, who had been blindfolded for a while, got up and took out the blue orb from the altar.

He put it in the child’s hand.

-Don’t leave this to you.

-Joe, Chief?

-Take it, Allen. It’s something everyone in the village agreed to. You, the youngest, said it was right to live.

-dad?

The chief and the father forcibly gave the blue marble to the child who did not know why.

As the chieftain muttered something while pointing to his hand seal, blue flames began to rise from the marble.

– Blue Guardian. Please take this child… … .

-Allen. find your happiness Find someone you love and love you and make a family again. Don’t even think about luck or revenge. Got it?

That was my last memory with them.

* * *

Something like a black tree branch spreads out in hundreds of branches. They raised sharp thorns and attacked Allen from all sides.

Allen glanced at it and snapped his fingers.

[Daeyeomwi(大炎威) – Explosion(爆碎)]

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

Black branches burst out of the prison of fire that covered all six sides, from the floor to the ceiling, in all directions.

With the explosion, the flames rode up branches and reached the Dark Eater.

He hurriedly cut off the branch himself, but it was too late.

“Ahhhhh!”

Iron flip.

Allen looked down at him as he fell like a bug.

With an expression dripping with dark and dull heat.

I thought he was wriggling on the floor, but suddenly fired something at Allen.

A thorn dripping with deadly poison.

However, the thorn burned away in the air before it could reach Allen.

“sh*t… … !”

Dark Eater kicked the ground and opened the distance.

However, no matter how far he spread his distance, the fact that he was still in Allen’s hands did not change.

Because the whole space was blocked by his flame.

The Dark Eater’s mouth closed straight.

‘It’s a waste if I waste more than this.’

More than 300 monsters have already been attacked.

Out of 1,000 monsters, 1/3 has already been victimized.

Replenishment of monsters is not a job, but even so, being 300 from just one guy was a definite loss.

However, it did not seem that the situation could be reversed with only the low-level magic beasts that could be brought out immediately.

‘Are you in too much of a hurry? To descend into the body of a penny like this.’

I should have put a little more effort into it.

He should have taken his time slowly, remodeled his body and perfected the situation before descending.

Only then can we bring out more high-ranking monsters.

I had no choice but to descend incompletely as I was digging into the gap where my body was distracted in a hurry.

“Quiet. Where did all the noise from before go?”

“… … what?”

“Are you just talking about being good after all?”

up

The mouth on Professor Derek’s neck gritted his teeth.

Hearing such insults from an insignificant guy who trembles in front of his own body and pees and pees!

“This bird… … !”

bang!

“Quaaagh!”

The moment he was about to stand up in a fit of rage, the nape of his neck burst.

Bang, bang, bang!

Not once. How many times, how many times. Derek’s body exploded with a focus on the half body of Professor Derek, who had descended.

[Da Yan Wei (大炎威) – Thousand Flames]

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The light that was so bright that it seemed pure white continued to explode, and the Dark Eater twisted its body.

Curiously, there was no wound on Professor Derek’s body, but the mouth and flesh there were ugly.

Allen looked down at it indifferently.

‘Devil guys.’

Devil’s children with bloody whites and black pupils.

When the village burned in the past, he did not know such anger.

The emotion of anger didn’t exist in his life, and he was too young to understand everything apart from it.

Anger was written on him stroke by stroke as he grew up.

dad. grandfather. Remy. Aunt Anesha. Uncle Polman. Sami’s older sister. All other members of the clan.

Memories with them suddenly pop up every day, longing and at the same time engraved wounds in his heart one by one.

That dark, sticky feeling did not stop at the passion of the moment, but stuck with me day by day.

Now it has become inseparable from him.

“Allen… … .”

Even Altima’s worried voice feels distant now.

It was a feeling that would not stop until the insect in front of him was eliminated.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!

“Quaaah”

Dark Eater couldn’t stand it any longer.

This strange flame not only burned the surface, but dug into its source.

No matter how much I tried to block the pain and try, nothing was of any use.

The excruciating pain that seemed like it would go out of my mind came up endlessly.

“sh*t! damn it!”

He let out a disgust mixed with hate, and then threw out the last word.

the number of his spleen.

The name of that monster that does its part at any time.

“Doppelganger!”

Quaaang-!

At the same time as shouting, Allen caused an even bigger explosion than before.

dump. Dark Eater fell to the floor without strength.

however.

Turbuck.

Soon, he slowly rose from his seat.

Allen gave him no time.

Wow!

Again his body flew away, but this time he stood up. It’s like you have an infinite mental power.

But the secret lies elsewhere.

‘I will kill you!’

The back, far away from Professor Derek’s body.

A little black bird was flying with a chirp.

Using the dark shadow of the building as a shield, he escaped Allen’s magic.

Although he had descended in an imperfect state, he still had the ability to break through.

‘I don’t forget. I’ll never forget you, blue-haired kid!’

Leaving a doppelganger who pretended to be himself and battled Allen, he turned into a small bird and escaped.

We need to get more power back right now. I realized that I couldn’t do anything in my current state.

‘First, go out and take another guy’s body. Not that low-key body, but a strong and powerful man. Growing strength for a while in that body… … .’

Where is this place? Everwhale?

Okay, first of all, I’ll turn this place into a heap of miserable ashes and use it as a restroom for monsters.

The first decoration of the bathroom is the head of a blue little boy in a vase.

And, and… … .

“You look in a hurry.”

He raised his head at the sudden sound from the front.

A man stumbled out from inside the dark passageway.

“It was the answer I was waiting for here.”

“What are you!”

A dark-haired man suddenly appears and blocks the way. Looking at him, the Dark Eater screamed.

“Melbane!”

Then he didn’t stop there and shot the monster.

A huge wolf maw shot out of the Dark Eater’s tiny body.

That monster that was about to chew and swallow the guy in front of me.

abruptly-

The man, Xian, cut through it so easily.

[The Black Spirit is excited by the familiar energy!]

And the black sword absorbed the energy that made up the wolf.

The Dark Eater contorted his face and exclaimed in astonishment.

“Were they compatriots! damn it!”

“… … .”

While he was startled, Xian calmly struck the sword at him.
