How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 72

Huge snow covered the gray sky. Those eyes were staring at the ground.

People’s faces turned blue in front of him.

“ah… … eww… … .”

“Huh… … !”

The feeling as if a cold iron rod had been pushed into the spine. A visceral fear washed over them in a tidal wave of emotion.

When all the beings, even the Lizardmen and Wyverns on the enemy side, were stuck on the ground and crawling like bugs.

only one person

Zerechman stood erect.

“You seem to be quite interested in me.”

he took the stick Sreung― A thin sword was pulled out with a bleak sound.

At the same time, the ground began to shake.

Against the eyes that twist the sky, Zerech’s energy solidifies the ground.

His eyes were on a group of lights floating high in the sky.

[The Demon Dragon King looks at the ground.]

A cluster of lights gathers in front of the pupils of the void.

yet.

Quaaa!

A light was sent toward this land.

Zerech’s eyes flashed.

“You won’t be able to see my back so easily.”

Kwagwagwagwagwang-!

Zerech cut down the pillar of light that fell.

Split beams of light spread throughout the city, mercilessly crushing every building it touched.

However, the arena guarded by Zerech was intact without any damage.

In the meantime.

“… … .”

Xian breathed slowly and looked at the eyes of the sky and Zerech.

indeed. I understand now.

It was those pupils that the president was keeping in check. It’s not that guy who’s stuck in a ‘chain’.

Well, if you think about it, it doesn’t make sense that the High Master is still trying to keep a man in check who could easily be caught by himself.

In one side.

‘Ugh-!’

Ravi was dancing like he was drunk.

The pillar of light that Zerech is cutting through. His energy is flowing into Ravi just by watching it.

Even if you stay quiet like this, you can benefit from the situation.

But I couldn’t help it.

“Kuaa!”

Kellen, blindfolded, put an aura on the broken sword and cut Allen’s ‘chains’.

From the outside, the blue flame that had been tightly confining him was helplessly torn apart by Keln’s aura.

Allen was horrified to see it.

“Why, why is it so easy… … !”

He raised his hand to respond immediately, but it was shaking.

The guy still couldn’t control his body properly with his sipper resin face.

Even in this situation where they were looking at Zerech, the empty pupils were suppressing everyone in this place.

‘That Aura isn’t the power I received from the devil.’

Xian guessed why Allen’s chains were easily torn.

I’ve heard that Allen’s flame is very effective against devils and magi, but not so with others.

In fact, Professor Derek only had the parts eaten by the Dark Eaters cleaned up, and his body didn’t have a single burn.

“King!”

Kellen raises his sword. Xian calmly blocked the guy’s sword.

Xian’s eyes sank.

‘It’s messed up.’

Kelln’s sword lacked any sophistication worthy of its status as a high night.

It was just an extreme blow with no prudence or sharpness.

Even though he was on the same side, it was clear that he had lost his mind due to the fear spewed by the pupils of the void.

Chaeeng!

Xian twisted his wrist and slashed the bastard’s sword.

The bounced sword spun around and got stuck behind me.

‘first.’

from the ankle to prevent escape.

Pushyuk-Xian’s sword split the tendon in Keln’s ankle.

Not only that, but his sword cut off his right arm.

Both feet to escape and hands to hold the sword were all gone.

Now all you have to do is wrap it properly. Is it related to the Dark Magic Tower, or what are those pupils?

There’s a lot to hear.

“I risk my soul! I will get out of here and see you!”

However, even as it collapsed, Kellen’s remaining hand gripped Xian’s neck. An ominous energy began to spread from his hand.

Xian’s eyes widened.

It was his bad judgment. Kellyn’s mind wasn’t really crazy at all. Rather, I couldn’t be so cold.

The calculation that he would bet on this one move while giving up his arms and legs without regret.

‘Uh-uhh-!’

Ravi is heard screaming and calling.

The sound is getting farther and farther away.

The devil’s power, the power that the Dragon King gave to Kelln, attacked Xian.

“Kuh… … !”

After the embarrassing silence, his eyesight turned round and round.

his eyes lost their light

Xian collapsed on the spot like a doll whose strings had fallen off.

dump.

Beside him, Kelln also fell with the same eyes.

* * *

In Xian’s eyes, which came to his senses, what was reflected was a black space with nothing.

A dark space where you can’t see the Colosseum, the academy, or the scenery of the city at all.

‘what?’

Xian frowned and looked around.

But there is nothing there.

Power naturally flowed into his hand holding the sword.

‘This… … .’

then i noticed The sword was not the black sword he used.

An empty spirit sword in its form before Ravi dwelled in it.

Without Ravi, it was an ordinary sword that was just a little hard.

‘Ravi?’

Called but no answer

Xian examined his wrist.

The imprint still remains. However, the connection with Ravi is not felt.

Does that mean he flew to this place alone, leaving Ravi alone?

“Welcome.”

Then, the space in front of my eyes shook and the guy appeared.

Guard Captain Kelln.

However, the attire was different.

It wasn’t the figure of a defender wielding a sword wearing a breastplate and wearing a dark blue cloak, but his body was wrapped in a cloak that gave off a strange smell.

“Where are you?”

“This is a space bestowed upon me by the King.”

“king?”

“Didn’t you see it too? His great respect.”

Are you talking about those heavenly eyes… … .

It was only one eye, not a face to be called Johnan.

“This place is somewhere between the real world and the hell world. You and I are in a state where only the spirits have been summoned.”

“soul… … .”

Xian frowned.

I don’t know if what he said is true or if such a thing is really possible.

If true, it would explain why Ravi doesn’t exist.

Since Ravi’s soul wasn’t invited, it probably doesn’t exist.

“Unfortunately, I was surrounded. But it’s not like there’s no way out.”

“… … If my soul is here, it must mean that my body is empty.”

After a moment’s pause, the corners of Kellen’s lips went up at Xian’s words.

“You have a good head rotation. It’s a pleasure. It means that the performance of the body that will enter next is excellent.”

He has used this space to steal the bodies of many people.

Numerous disciples of the Mage Tower he raises. Those educated through drugs and brainwashing to provide him with a body at any time.

However, there are also bodies that are not raised that way, but are sometimes taken for convenience.

“That body doesn’t belong to you either.”

“You mean this body? of course. The real garrison leader is already dead.”

Like the body of this garrison captain Kelln.

The boy chuckled and raised an eyebrow.

The face was crushed like clay, and then it turned into someone else’s face.

The figure of an old man with a hunched back and full of wrinkles.

That was his true face.

“This is Andras, the high mage of the Dark Magic Tower. What’s your guy’s name?”

The Black Mage Tower. Xian’s eyes sank and the image of the old man was captured deep in them.

“It’s Cyan Agrid.”

“Agrid!”

Kelln, no, Andras was very happy with that name.

Some kid dragged me in because I wanted to interfere, and I thought it was Agrid’s son!

“Clack! That young body, the status of being a student at the academy and the son of the Sword King, as well as the ability to emit an aura and excellent brains! I like it. I haven’t seen such a coveted body in recent years!”

The guy rolled up the sleeve of one arm and headed towards Xian.

Scales began to grow from the back of his neck and eventually covered his arm.

As he snapped his sharp fingernails, a dark red fireball began to rise at the tip of his palm.

“… … You know how to use magic. I heard that warlocks can only use power borrowed from demons.”

“Stupid. Don’t talk like you know everything with your fake magic. My king is the father of all demons.”

[ Heukyeomhwa (黑炎花) ]

A spark shot from his hand.

A flame too huge to be called a flower, like a wave.

A hideous fire with black energy and red energy tangled up over Xian.

‘… … .’

If it’s fire, let’s hit it with spears, Xian thought so, but he noticed it right away. There is no Ravi in this place now.

I can’t even use a spear or a black sword. The only thing held in that hand was an empty spirit sword.

You have to go through it on your own.

A black aura rose from Xian’s sword.

It’s completely different from the darkness of this space or the darkness mixed with the fire.

night aura.

Roaring!

Xian’s sword swung crosswise splits waves of fire in all directions. Xian jumped into the empty gap.

At the choice of coming forward instead of dodging or pulling back, Andras made a more excited expression.

“Good, good! You don’t give in to this! Ha ha ha!”

The guy is completely covered in scales, not only on one arm, but also on the other. And now the right foot is covered.

He kicked the ground with his shifting foot.

bang!

Xian falls and breaks the ground where he was right before.

However, he had already spread his distance and stretched out both hands to Xian.

[ Flame Heat Wave ]

The flames fired from both hands radiate thin and wide this time. At the same time, it was accompanied by a shockwave that shook the ground.

The air was pushed out like a huge creature flapping its wings, and Xian’s body flew away as well.

At that, Andras grinned and opened his mouth.

A grotesquely wide open mouth. In the meantime, a group of lights gathered.

[ Breath ]

It shot out a light similar to that seen from the outside by the Eye of Heaven.

The scale itself was much smaller, but the energy contained in it was not small.

aaang!

The breath hit and the space around it shook greatly.

An attack that would have turned a normal human into mush even up to this point.

Andras was not caught off guard.

Dozens of magic shot from his hand and flew away.

“Cluck!”

Fire and ice shoot from his hands that have turned into dragons. Lightning fell from the sky, and thorns rose from the ground and attacked the place where Xian was.

As he fired magic without a break, Andras’ eyes began to grow strangely hot.

“Did you dare to think that you would survive by interfering with me and the king’s event!”

Even your own life won’t be enough to apologize.

But don’t worry.

“Don’t even ask the people around you about your female sins.”

The corners of the mouth go up. My heart thumped to the point where I couldn’t believe it was a human beating, and the blood rushed all over my body.

Steals the guy’s body, acts as the guy in moderation, and harms the guys around him.

They will blame it all on him and resent it.

Pleasure without responsibility.

What sweet words are these?

The heat in his eyes grew darker and darker.

The scales that grew out of the rebellion were covering her chest, passing the nape of her neck, and covering her face before she knew it.
