The magical energy concentrated in Ethan’s hand penetrated Philip’s body.

“Turn it off!”

The veins all over Philip’s body swelled up in an instant.

Then it started to turn black.

‘Why, why does the priest have magical powers?!’

But Philip couldn’t even scream.

Philip’s hands and feet began to discolor, and later his face and the whites of his eyes turned black.

Philip resisted Ethan’s magical power as much as he could.

But to no avail.

‘In addition to the amount of magic power, the quality of the magic is different!’

It was natural.

Ethan’s magical powers came from his jet-black eyes.

The magic possessed by the Demon King could not be the same as that of an ordinary dark wizard.

“👅, Kreuk… … !”

Philip was in shock.

He couldn’t even open his mouth and couldn’t believe that he died in such a vain way.

Soon, poison appeared in Philip’s eyes.

‘Do you think I’ll die gracefully like this!’

Philip began squeezing out the magic within his body.

As a last resort, they attempt to self-destruct.

But Ethan saw through Philip’s shallow tactics.

“Why are all the things you do the same? Did you get any instructions when you joined the organization?”

I didn’t have anything like that back then.

Ethan didn’t seem nervous at all.

He spoke out nonsensical words that Philip could not understand at all.

‘In such a case, if you block the magic flowing through your body, it’s over.’

Ethan leisurely dispersed the magical energy that Philip had been working hard on.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

“… … ?!”

The magic in his body went out of his control and the flow was cut off.

Philip’s eyes widened at the startling thing.

All this was thanks to Ethan’s extensive knowledge of dark magic.

If you follow along with your mediocre skills, you will inflict great damage on the contrary.

“Because I’m actually more used to using my head than my body.”

Ethan tapped his head with his index finger.

“When I have time later, I’ll send the remaining four companions to my side.”

‘How do you do that?!’

Phillip wanted to ask.

The remaining four colleagues.

The priest knew exactly that he was one of Aurum’s envoys.

But he could no longer breathe, and his consciousness gradually darkened.

Phillip died in despair.

Ethan, watching him with a cold gaze, looked into Philip’s arms.

‘It must have been this guy.’

As Ethan expected, a fragment of a marble was found in Philip’s arms.

It was the marble of silence that Ethan had made in his previous life.

‘Good.’

Ethan smiled and took it.

Then he returned to the party facing the Dark Follower.

Shh.

But the action was so stealthy and agile that even Jacob did not notice Ethan’s absence.

The Paladins were still busy blocking the attack of the Masked Man.

However, thanks to Ethan reducing the number of masked people, he was able to not be pushed even by the outnumbered numbers.

“It’s pretty good.”

Ethan, deeply admired, soon grabbed a fragment of the marble of silence in his hand.

And infused it with divine power.

Surprisingly, the marble began to fully absorb the divine power.

The ominous blood marble fragment, which was supposed to be the remains of the Demon King, gradually became transparent.

‘It’s natural. This is because it originally contained divine power.’

The marble shards, which became transparent like shards of glass, floated on Ethan’s palm and completely merged.

The surface of the marble was smooth as if it had been broken.

“done!”

Ethan murmured lowly.

The reason why the marble was initially suspected as a remnant of the Demon King was because it contained a lot of solo dance instead of the Seven Heroes.

It was natural that the solo dance contained the demon king’s magic energy.

However, when Ethan infused with divine power, it was purified and restored to its original form.

‘At that time, it was quite difficult to secretly find someone to inject divine power into the beads.’

But now, it was different from his previous life, when he had no divine power.

Ethan did not stop there and poured out his divine power beyond the limit that the marble could contain.

“Wow!”

The pain in the eyes grew stronger as if the jet-black eyes were repulsing the divine power.

Ethan swallowed a moan.

‘little bit more!’

That was then.

Quick!

The marble shattered into small pieces, as if screaming.

It was because he could not bear the divine power that was given to him.

Once the beads were cracked, they split in a chain here and there.

Ethan shouted to the group.

“Everyone close your eyes!”

And finally, a dazzling light burst from the marble.

It was the divine power that was amplified to the limit in the marble.

Paah!

“Ugh! I can’t see ahead!”

Masked people who were not in contrast were bewildered by the light that seemed to dig into their eyes.

Both groups, who were engaged in a fierce battle, stopped moving.

It was as if time had stopped.

As the light swept the area, Cynthia lowered her arms that covered her eyes.

“Hey, what is this?”

Surprisingly, the thick fog was slowly fading away.

The dark magic that created the fog around Nouvel was destroyed.

And at the center of it all was Ethan.

Cynthia’s eyes widened.

It wasn’t just Ethan’s party who was astonished.

Even the masked people forgot the situation and opened their mouths.

“Nonsense!”

“How did this happen?!”

Their eyes turned to Ethan.

The divine power emanating from Ethan’s fingertips was dispelling the fog created by dark magic.

“Wow!”

That was then.

The masked men let out a small moan.

Surprisingly, it was the same with Cynthia who was with Ethan.

The divine power that radiated brilliance had also affected Cynthia’s body.

The bodies of those with magical powers in this place were shaken.

It wasn’t that severe.

It was tolerable if I clenched my teeth and endured it.

For some it was a miracle, for others it was a nightmare.

The Paladins were surprised, but soon smiled and held the sword.

‘I don’t know what English it is, but good things are good!’

Jacob came to a simple and clear conclusion.

But the masked people shook their hands in a sense of embarrassment.

Although they were more numerous, they could not overwhelm the Paladin by force.

Because of that, I was dealing with the paladins hiding in the fog, but the fog cleared.

Only because of that one priest!

“Damn it!”

Then Ethan slapped his throat and swallowed the blood that came up.

“I did more of this kind of thing. You are far away.”

* * *

The paladins wiped the blood off the sword.

Suddenly, a pool of blood was formed around them.

Oddly enough, the dark follower’s corpses did not pile up.

The moment they died, they melted and disappeared like candle wax.

It was because they cast dark magic that did not leave a corpse on their own.

The only traces of the Dark Follower’s existence were the bloodstains on the knights’ swords.

But the Dark Followers constantly rushed towards them.

Tadat!

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Visor!

A paladin aimed at the vital point and struck the flying sword with its blade.

Sometimes two or three people stick together.

“Whoa!”

The other paladin took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his eyes.

The fog disappeared and the war situation changed, but it was not possible to overcome the numerical inferiority at once.

“die!”

One of the masked men supported by evil in the momentum of the Paladins has been rushing forward, aiming only for the princess.

Jacob’s eyes flashed and the sword flowed, then pierced the masked man’s stomach.

In this way, the dark follower was aiming for the princess, even at the cost of his own life.

The clearing of the mist made it easier to deal with the Dark Followers.

However, since the position of the princess was also revealed here, more attention should be paid to the protection of the princess.

Jacob glanced at Cynthia.

‘It would be more dangerous to keep it here.’

The Dark Followers had the momentum to eliminate the princess at any cost.

Jacob said to Ethan.

“Hey, Ethan. Take the princess and run away from here quickly. They’ll get everything cleaned up here.”

“All right.”

Ethan had the same idea.

Without hesitation, he nodded his head.

Having Cynthia here doesn’t help either.

It would be better to get out of this way for her to live, and for the paladins to live.

Ethan looked at Cynthia.

“Did you hear that? The only chance to escape is now.”

Cynthia asked, confused.

“Would you like to leave these people alone and go with us?”

“For now, that’s the best.”

Cynthia bit her lower lip.

It was no different from sacrificing the paladins.

But when he died, what Ethan and the Paladins had been doing until now would be in vain.

In the end, Cynthia nodded her head with a determined look.

“okay.”

Indeed, she was a woman with the courage to go to an empire infested with those seeking life.

During Cynthia’s brief conversation with the escort driver, Ethan spoke to Jacob.

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

At that reassuring affirmation, Ethan suddenly thought of his former subordinate, Leon Bernstein.

At that time, Cynthia’s escort knight called Ethan.

“I’m ready. Branch.”

So Ethan, Cynthia, and Ben left the fierce battlefield behind.

“shit! Follow me!”

A dark follower tried to pursue Ethan’s party.

“Never let them chase you!”

However, Jacob encouraged his minions and defeated the Dark Followers.

Ethan’s group ran forward without looking back.

The clash of weapons and the screams of the dark follower faded away.

Soon, a wide plain appeared in all directions.

Cynthia took a deep breath and looked back.

“Ugh!”

There, some masked men were chasing them.

Yongke was also one of those who escaped Jacob’s hand.

Ethan, too, was aware of their presence as a sign.

Ethan clicked his tongue low.

‘In the beginning, the number of paladins was too low.’

No matter how dense the net was, there were cases where a few fish could escape.

‘Besides, there are patients here who have not yet fully recovered.’

Ethan looked at Cynthia’s condition.

“ha! ha!”

Cynthia was running hard not to catch the ankles of the group.

But his face was pale, so he was blue.

Although Ethan and Ben’s stamina was intact, Cynthia, the target of protection, was lagging behind.

Eventually, the Dark Follower followed Ethan’s side.

“… … !”

They looked at each other and ran forward.

It was a moment when the string of tension was pulled tight.

The tension was eventually cut by Ben, the escort knight.

Sreung!

Ben pulled out his sword and shouted to Ethan.

“I beg your lord! I’ll be in charge here!”

“Ben!”

Cynthia reached out to Ben.

However, because of the magic and magical powers he possessed, he was unable to hold on to Ben.

Ben made a promise to Cynthia.

“Your Majesty, I will see you again in the island.”

“no! Ben!”

It was sad to see the two masters parting, but there was nothing.

Ethan urged Cynthia.

“You are more dangerous now. When everything over there is done, the manager will come over here. Follow me.”

Ethan’s words were too cold.

But it was also a good decision.

Now was not the time for emotions to take the lead.

Cynthia eventually wiped away her tears and followed Ethan.
