I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills Chapter 123

[EP.123] Hwa Cheon Chu-seong

Clap, crackle-

The floor is so dark that you can barely see the light.

The sound of stones falling rang out.

How long did the sound spread?

Haring, who had lost consciousness, began to come to his senses little by little.

“Haring, how long are you going to sleep? The rice is all cold.”

Old memories vaguely passed through Haring’s mind.

These were the words her older brother said to her a long time ago while stroking her head affectionately.

My older brother, who had a huge age difference between me, was always so affectionate.

And even until the last moment, he was endlessly friendly.

It was a day like any other, chatting with my brother over breakfast and going to training.

Haring still remembers that day clearly.

On the roof of the Lagren family, shining under the sunlight.

The sight of a man with long blood-red hair waving at him with shining red eyes.

Who was that person? What was reflected in Haring’s eyes while he was staring blankly was the person raising his hand toward the sky.

And soon, the sky turned yellow.

As erosive species soared in large numbers, the Lagren family’s area was turned upside down by global erosion.

The soaring eroded species attacked the Lagren family’s servants, and the knights of the Lagren family and others desperately fought against the eroded species.

It would have been fine if there had been a poison king and his family’s knights, but the poison king and knights were away on an expedition for some reason.

The Lagren family was truly vulnerable to external attacks.

At that time, Haring, who was still young, was dazed by what was happening.

“Haring!”

Her brother, who found Haring, grabbed her and ran.

Her brother was desperate to protect Haring.

My older brother was born with a weak body.

Because of that, he did not accomplish much, but he showed genius talent when it came to poison.

So, to avoid the encroaching species, he planned to take Haring with him and hide himself in a cell with a strong, poisonous scent that was difficult to smell.

I thought that if it were here, even the erosive species would hate it and not come.

But Haring made a mistake there.

“Kya?!”

As he was heading to his cell, he saw a nearby insect eating a servant’s head and inadvertently let out a scream.

The scream was enough to attract the attention of the erosion species.

So her brother immediately pushed Haring into the cell and threw poison at the poisonous bell.

「Greeeeek!」

Then the enraged Erosion Bell expressed its anger with its half-melted head.

Seeing the bastard like that, her brother locked the cell door from the outside.

“brother!”

“Haring, when we played hide and seek, we often played counting.”

As he said that, he took out the remaining poison from his belt and held it.

“Keep counting. Haring continues until the number you know. Until then, you must never go outside, no matter who calls you. got it?”

“brother Brother! “No, Aring, no!”

At that moment, the erosion species rushed towards me.

Haring trembled at the terrible sound coming from outside.

She is only 7 years old.

The only thing the child could think of was to listen to his older brother.

「1, 2, 3… … .」

So she kept counting.

Haring, who was good at hide-and-seek, was playing hide-and-seek with Aring and asked her to come out if he couldn’t find her even after counting all the numbers in case Aring couldn’t find her.

Tears fell from her eyes.

It was scary and scary, but she held on and kept counting as her brother said.

And when I counted and counted again.

Before I knew it, the sound from outside diminished and then gradually disappeared.

When she realized that fact, she had already counted all the numbers.

Haring walked from the outside and approached the locked door.

Then a faint voice was heard.

“Ha, ring.”

The moment Haring heard his voice cut off, he immediately tried to open the door.

But outside, her brother was holding on to the locked door.

“I wasn’t trying to save you. This is what happened while I was trying to survive. So there is nothing wrong with you. got it.”

My brother, who was kind until the end, continued to talk nonsense.

Even though it was obviously his mistake, he said that until the end so that Haring would not feel guilty.

Haring could do nothing but sob in front of him.

After that, Haring fainted on the spot as if from exhaustion.

It was long after that that she was discovered.

Ah Ling’s body was separated from his lower body and upper body.

This was because it had been torn to pieces by the nails of an erosive species.

And a book called The Book of Poisonous Blood, which was said to be a treasure of the Lagren family, disappeared.

It was unknown whether the damage was caused by the world’s encroachers or by eroding species.

At that time, the emperor, who heard the news, hurriedly sent the imperial knights to help the Lagren family, so it was a disaster.

A major incident that would have uprooted the Lagren family.

At that time, the poisonous king, who was indebted to the empire, swore allegiance to the empire.

Lagren, who until then had been neutral between the imperial family and the aristocratic faction, had clearly turned to the imperial family.

That was the debt the Lagren family owed to the imperial family.

‘brother.’

Haring, who had closed his eyes tightly, slowly opened them.

Her eyes were moist as memories resurfaced after a long time.

She still remembers that day clearly.

Her goals are two.

One, I hoped that there would be no more meaningless deaths like my brother’s due to world erosion.

The other was to find the world eroder who killed the Lagren family and her brother and take revenge.

That’s why she readily enrolled in Raheln Academy, which was said to train heroes to prevent world erosion.

But the students at Laheln Academy looked different from Haring.

Although I only saw it briefly, it seemed like the students competing for their own interests were more important than preventing global erosion.

She got sick of them after a day.

I didn’t really want to talk to them.

Because she was desperate to prevent her brother from dying in vain.

But just one.

The boy of the same age who came out on a training mission this time was different.

“I didn’t come here to play with power.”

These were Crasch’s words as he looked at Carandis and Mary.

“World erosion has been increasing rapidly in recent years, and I am coming to Raheln Academy to learn to prevent such an emergency.”

After hearing those words, her eyes fell on Krashu.

Valheim Krasch.

A direct descendant of the famous Valheim family.

Should we really say that it is a prestigious family?

The attitude itself was great.

When you deep down think highly of him.

Somehow, Krasch and Haring ended up in the same group.

Krasch was strong.

He won against a creature that contained the power of the night god, and his instructions were clear and quick on his feet.

Moreover, even though he shows his cracks and appears relaxed on the outside.

The intention was detailed and caught the opponent off guard.

World erosion is where one mistake can cost your life.

He seemed to have experienced many such world erosion.

In my heart, a part of me felt a little yearning.

I felt relieved that there was someone my age who was as serious about tackling global erosion as I was.

Then to him.

I let my guard down and let him get kidnapped by the Erosion species.

When Haring thinks back to that time, his heart still feels sad.

This was because she most hated the complacency and carelessness that ultimately led to her brother’s death due to her own mistakes in the erosion of the world.

Is that why?

She kept thinking of Krasch as her older brother.

Although they are the same age, it seems that there is a reason why they strangely do not look like their peers.

“Ugh.”

Haring covered his stomach because of the pain coming from it.

Then I remembered what had happened earlier.

After eating Baekcheongdan, which forces the brain to relax the limits it sets to maintain the body normally.

She had plunged the dagger into Decarabia’s jaw.

Afterwards, she lost consciousness after being unable to dodge a blow from Decaravia.

Her thoughts reached that point and she looked around.

Where are you now?

Then her eyes stopped on one place.

There was someone sitting there with their back turned.

At the last moment, a blurry memory passed by.

This is the image of him falling while holding himself in the consciousness that came back briefly in the middle.

Her memory was vague because she immediately lost consciousness again, but when she remembered that time, her eyes opened wide.

Krasch had saved him from falling.

Embarrassed, she slowly walked towards him, feeling weak for some reason.

I had an ominous feeling.

This is Crashu, which was so unreasonable.

If he had caught himself from that height and fallen, there was absolutely no way he would have been okay.

“Crash.”

This was the moment when Haring called out to him and tried to grab his shoulder with his hand.

“Ugh!”

She thought her hand that touched him was on fire for a moment.

When she looked back at Krashu in surprise, she saw that his eyes were faintly open.

“Wake up, nya.”

A cracked voice came out.

Her eyes slowly began to shake as she saw his bright red face.

The sight of him exhaling looked very painful.

Krasch used too much strength even after experiencing the aftermath of the Red Tigers.

As a result, the inside of my body was literally shaken.

In the meantime, I went overboard again to save myself from falling.

It was obvious that he must have mustered up all the strength he had left to avoid falling to his death.

In return, Krasch’s body was now like a ball of fire.

The aftermath of the Red Tigers did not care whether his body was weakened or not.

It just gave him a pain that felt like his insides were being burned by fire.

“Why did you save me? If I hadn’t saved it, I would have ended up like this… … .”

She was embarrassed and asked, not knowing what to do.

Then Krasch looked at her for a moment and then closed his eyes.

“You didn’t mean to do it.”

Haring’s eyes shook greatly.

This was because Krasch was saying the same thing that her dead brother had said.

“So, just be quiet and wait.”

The moment Haring heard those words, his lips were bitten.

Meanwhile, Krasch lowered his head as if he had decided that Haring had woken up.

It was to endure the aftermath of the Red Tigers.

Haring slumped down behind Krashu.

All she could do now was wait for the aftermath of the Red Tigers to disappear.

For Krasch, who was in this state, doing something from his side could have brought about an even worse situation.

Just like that day, all you can do is wait.

That fact made me feel very helpless.

“… … .”

She hugged her poison bag tightly.

The poison pouch was none other than a keepsake that her older brother Aring used to fight against invasive species at the time.

I’m confident if I’m waiting.

Because I can wait as many times as I want.

‘… … So please don’t die.’

In her mind.

With today deeply in mind.

Haring desperately hoped that Krasch would open his eyes safely.

Otherwise, I felt like I would be ruined forever.

* * *

While the aftermath of the Red Tigers remains.

Krasch closed his eyes and endured the aftermath.

In fact, to be precise, Krasch was not affected much by the aftermath of the Red Tigers itself.

That’s right, it’s because Krasch is the one that hurts your body every day.

It’s like the aftereffects of the inside of your body burning.

There was nothing special about Krasch, who steamed and roasted the inside through destruction and erosion every day.

Therefore, the aftermath of the Red Tigers was not a problem for Krasch.

However, Krashu was absorbing the remaining energy of the Red Tigers in his body at this point.

The Red Tigers are a poison made with the secret arts of the Lagren family.

Aside from the burning pain in my body, the effects were definitely worth absorbing.

Poison is also medicine if used well.

So, Krashu took this opportunity to quickly swallow up the Red Tigers.

[A crazy person, a fool, a person with little to no sense of sanity. ]

Although Crimson Garden kept swearing, I lost my concentration.

Anyway, Krashu continued to absorb the Red Tigers.

As I said before, poison is also medicine if used well.

Krasch felt that his body, which had been struggling to move due to overexertion, was feeling much better.

I know I should go back and rest properly and get treatment, but I still felt like this was something.

For a long time.

Soon, when all of the Red Tigers had been absorbed, Krashu opened his eyes.

My whole body was drenched in sweat and my face was hot, but I felt okay.

In addition, perhaps thanks to the Red Tigers, the number of Aurors has increased slightly compared to before.

‘This is good.’

I wasn’t particularly worried about the aftermath of the Red Tigers, but I never thought it would have this effect.

I thought it would be okay to get a few more from Haring next time I get the chance.

“Haring.”

As soon as Krashu called her, she looked at him in shock.

Haring, who was looking at Krasch blankly, looked like he was about to cry and quickly approached him.

“are you okay? What about your body? “Where does it hurt?”

Suddenly, she poked her face in and asked.

Krasch was a little embarrassed because his face looked like it was about to break at any moment.

Why is he like this?

“Should I support you, or should I carry you?”

This time it seemed like he meant it.

Krasch belatedly noticed that she cared that he had saved her.

“As I said before, I didn’t end up like this because I was trying to save you. “Nothing to worry about.”

At the last moment, my body moved first.

Haring’s Invisibility and Poison are essential for future work.

So, Krasch also readily covered her as she fell.

She has a lot of work to do before she can die here.

But Krasch didn’t know.

Those words cut even deeper into Haring.

Haring bit his lip and then answered.

“okay.”

However, compared to the answer, the look in his eyes was strong enough to be burdensome.

‘Now that I think about it, it seems like the Lagren family placed great importance on grace.’

The fact that the King of Poison exterminated Hadenharz at the behest of the imperial family was entirely due to the debt he owed to the imperial family.

‘Then Haring, the same goes for this guy.’

At the same time, Krasch remembered Haring’s strange behavior earlier.

She was particularly obsessed with saving herself.

‘From what I saw earlier, it seems like there’s some kind of trauma that causes you to care excessively about someone who sacrificed something on your behalf.’

Since there were rules tied to the family, it was understandable that this would happen.

Now that things had come to this, Krasch decided to quickly pay off the debt he owed her.

Then you will feel more comfortable.

“If it bothers you, I want to go back and research something related to poison. Please help me. “That’s all.”

Krasch wanted to research the relationship between curses and poison.

Her eyes wavered again at the word poison research.

However, no matter how quick-witted Crashu was, he couldn’t know about that part unless he knew her insides.

Haring soon clenched his fists and nodded.

“Research, okay.”

Although it was a bit burdensome because there was a strong will to do anything in the eyes.

Still, I thought it would be better than having a bad relationship.

“Let’s go back now.”

Thanks to the Jeokhodan, my body has regained some of its energy.

Crasch stood up and looked up at the square.

Since we had come down so far down, it seemed like the way up would not be easy.

But Krasch wasn’t too worried.

This was because Krasch’s sixth sense was feeling the pinch.

Krasch raised his head.

Then, in the darkness, a tree began to come down from above.

And soon Krasch saw a person.

“Crash, Haring!”

Not Anix, who abandoned her when she fell into a trap a long time ago.

Anix came down to save them despite the limitations of using the Mokcheon diagram.

Krasch suppressed his laughter very briefly.

What is a person’s life?

Well, you never know.

* * *

After completing the mission, I left the ruins.

Before we knew it, dawn had passed and the sun was rising in the sky.

Accordingly, the ruins naturally hid their appearance with sand.

He will continue to hide himself until night falls.

“are you okay?”

When Haring asked, Crasch waved his arms lightly.

“I’m fine.”

[That’s bluffing. ]

I heard Crimson Garden’s scolding, but I didn’t care.

Because his theory was that if he could move, he was fine.

Krasch’s gaze then landed on Annix.

Anix, who made eye contact with Krasch, smiled as usual.

That laugh was a laugh that Krasch had hated in the past.

This was because it was a laugh that Crasch had always criticized as fake.

‘Was it sunglasses?’

At first, until he found the ruins, Krasch thought Anix’s smile was fake.

I thought that he considered the members of the Twin Brotherhood to be his allies, and the thought that he would eventually be betrayed one day kept circling his head.

But now that I have glimpsed Anix’s sincerity.

Only then did Krasch realize that his sunglasses had completely come off.

“Good job. “I survived thanks to you.”

And upon hearing Krasch’s words, Anix widened her eyes and then smiled again.

“I didn’t expect to hear such words from Crashu.”

“I didn’t know I would say this to you either.”

A part of my heart felt relieved.

Krasch raised his head towards the sky.

Through Fendal, I learned that you should not judge people based on regression.

This time, through Anix, I learned that a person can completely change with even the slightest chance.

And perhaps this learning could have hindered his path.

With the skills in mind that he will definitely take away, Krashu will constantly worry about them.

But I could say one thing.

‘If I could have prevented destruction alone, Arthur could have prevented it alone.’

When world erosion reaches its worst level.

All over the world is a mess.

Arthur may be able to stop one worst evil, but he cannot prevent the other worst at the same time.

And it was the same for Krasch.

Knowing that fact is why Krasch has built many relationships.

‘Correcting the generation of the firmament.’

A ray of light began to appear somewhere.

There was only one way to prevent destruction.

‘I stand at the front.’

Even if it’s pouring rain, sandstorms, and storms.

Your role is to persevere and persevere from the front.

The generation of the firmament will follow them and soar high into the sky to prevent destruction.

Krasch’s eyes shined brightly.

Krasch’s eyes, running toward only one goal, were as bright as stars.

Cheonchusung (天樞star).

It was a Crasch-like idea that best suited the role of guide that Elfin had mentioned.
