Episode 91
A cold wind passed by my cheek.
I wanted to raise the cape collar, but I didn’t and just looked at the other person.
Seren looked at me and asked.
“Are you really going to fight me?”
“I’m not going to get out of the way. Then we have to fight.”
“… after.”
Seren let out a low voice and took a stance as if she had no choice.
I also gradually increased my strength as if warming up.
Now that I think about it, is this your first time meeting Seren?
‘This guy defeated Hector during sparring.’
In that case, his interpersonal fighting skills may be similar to Charon’s, or even better.
I want to do it before exploring, but… … .
In many ways, I was in a situation where I couldn’t waste time, so I took the lead.
fault.
Seren also immediately rushed towards me.
There seemed to be a flash of silver, and before I knew it, shiny fingernails had grown.
‘Eunwol’s protection… ‘I’m serious.’
The anticipation is unusual.
It would be difficult to compete head-on with those nails with my current strength… Called,
I would have thought so just a day ago.
Cough!
“… … !”
I hit Seren’s nails with a fist wrapped in fire.
It was actually Seren who was pushed out.
What should I hide? It’s thanks to Young-ok.
Thanks to the explosive absorption of spirit prison energy while healing Seren’s internal injuries, my internal strength level is now three times that of then.
In terms of internal strength, I am in a situation where I am overwhelmed.
Seren must have realized this as well, but instead of backing down, he came out from close range and quickly exchanged attacks.
‘… ‘Isn’t it strange?’
To be honest, I was confident that I could defeat Seren without difficulty.
It’s not that I looked at it lightly, it’s because I also gained a lot from the retreat.
However, the combat power that Seren shows now easily exceeds my expectations.
It’s not even a daily chwiwoljang.
This guy had grown to the point where he felt like a completely different person.
Is this also related to Seren’s secret?
Bah!
The back of Seren’s hand hit my cheek.
As I felt the tingling pain, I realized two things.
one. My power right now is less than half of what it normally is.
two. Seren is putting up a decent fight against me right now.
“… … .”
Why are warriors such a stupid race?
When you realize that the other person cares, the heat rises inside you.
Of course, I am refraining from attacking enough to kill Seren… … .
What did the third brother say about this?
‘Naeronambul?’
Papapak!
As a result of my useless thoughts, small wounds appeared on my body.
I know about Eunwol’s divine protection.
It is the main force of the future hero Silvermoon, and is a divine protection that imbues the body with the power of the divine beast Silver Moon.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
Arjan’s appearance in the Jewel Mountains was also similar to the current Seren.
Did Arjan also have divine protection?
fault.
At that moment, Seren suddenly backed away.
And he looked at me like I was some kind of monster.
“… “Aren’t you in a bad mood right now?”
“that’s right. “It’s not even half of its power right now.”
“half.”
Seren laughed as if it was absurd.
I wiped the blood from my face.
There are no fatal wounds, but because the condition is so bad, it feels like my head is spinning because I spilled some blood.
Maybe that’s what Seren is aiming for… … .
I know that taking time can be detrimental.
I know, but I couldn’t help but ask.
“Is this an order from Goodspring?”
“what?”

“I heard about Evan in advance from my family, and I infiltrated the retreat to kill him… … . “If you think about it that way, the attitudes you showed are somewhat understandable.”
“Tsk tsk.”
Seren sneered.
“That’s an interesting guess. But there’s one thing I didn’t consider.”
“What.”
“How am I treated at Goodspring?”
Seren said with sarcasm.
“I know? Goodspring’s bloodline is very strong. Strangely enough, when the blood of these families is mixed, no matter what lineage one has, they are born with the same characteristics.”
I have almost no contact with Goodspring.
However, I have only seen the head of that family once.
Hatem Goodspring.
Warm blonde hair that seems to melt the sunlight and eyes as deep as seawater.
The contrast between the sight of him standing side by side with Sanghyeolgong is so vivid that it remains vivid in my memory.
“… … .”
I saw Seren.
In my case, my appearance is different from the typical badniker, but I still inherited the black fairy’s unique purple eyes.
On the other hand, Seren had no contact with Hatem in her memories.
“They say this is the first time something like this has happened in Good Spring’s history. That’s why my family hates me as much as Badniker. “They thought I was a witch from the moment I was born.”
“Surprisingly. “I thought Goodspring would be the complete opposite of Badknicker.”
“What if it’s the exact opposite?”
“Just like the name, I thought it would be a place like a warm spring day.”
Seren finally burst into laughter at my words.
Most people feel uncomfortable when something they don’t mean to say makes them laugh.
Because I think it’s a joke.
But Seren’s smile somehow felt different.
I was clearly bursting out laughing, but somehow I felt sadness.
Seren stopped laughing, but still spoke with a smile on her face.
“Life cannot always continue like spring. One day, you will definitely face the biting cold. That’s why I hate spring. Because that fatigue makes people lazy and forgets about the harshness. Winter may be cold, but it reminds us of reality. Goodspring’s orders?”
Seren raised her middle finger.
“f*ck you. “If there was such a thing, I would have been the first to screw it up.”
“Then why are you trying to kill Evan? “Is it simply because you don’t want to die?”
I haven’t known him for long, but he’s not the kind of guy who would kill someone just for that reason.
“… If you kill the leader of the Dark Church, the emperor will probably personally praise you. “It is an achievement so great that even the nobles of the family bow down to it.”
Seren twisted the corner of her mouth.
“You’re not wrong at all. “I am here of my own will, not by family orders.”
“Do you want to be recognized by Good Spring?”
“Recognition is bullshit. “I just want to make the family want to see ‘Seren’ again.”
“what?”
“… … .”
Seren’s tone of voice was a bit strange, so I asked him about it, but the guy closed his mouth with a sad expression on his face.
And shook his head.
“… Let’s end the useless talk here. “You probably don’t have much time to spare, do you?”
“Of course.”
I don’t know much about Seren.
However, as this guy said himself, I got the feeling that he didn’t just hate the family.
I understood that feeling a little bit.
Blood ties are tough.
Forget your family name and live… … .
It’s easier said than done, but it’s very difficult to completely separate from the place where you were born.
I know that fact from experience.
So I know how to solve it.
It’s surprisingly simple.
All you have to do is find a place more precious than your family.
I found.
Although it has been since his death, according to this guy, spring has come in his life.
On the other hand, it didn’t seem like things were going well for Seren.
“… … .”
Should I at least comfort him?
I don’t think so.
Regardless of my poor speaking skills, I somehow felt that the act of consoling was an insult to Seren.
This guy was embracing winter as much as he was longing for spring.
Hasty sympathy can only be an insult.
So the conclusion was simple.
Just fight.
Until we are both satisfied.
Kwaaaa… … .
It was at that moment that a sound similar to an explosion was heard from a distance.
Seren and I, who were about to rush at each other, stopped at the same time and looked in that direction.
I felt like a creepy energy was exploding on my skin.
“That… … .”
“… instrument?”
Impatience bloomed on Seren’s face as she stared blankly.
“no way… … .”
Seren bit her molars and quickly ran towards that direction.
I instinctively realized that it was not the time to fight anymore, so I had no choice but to follow after him.
* * *
The place where the instrument was felt was not a far away place.
Not long after running with Seren, we were able to arrive at the scene… … .
I took in the scenes unfolding there sequentially.
Hector and Charon are lying down.
Doctrine teacher Junian is covered in blood.
and… … .
“… Evan?”
[…] … .]
A being who appeared to be Evan was standing blankly in the center.
Of course, it was very different from what I remembered. His skin was black and his eyes were sunken.
I’m not expert in medicine, but I can tell just by looking at it that it’s not normal.
“Cough… … .”
The teacher spit out blood.
Seren quickly approached and supported him.
“What happened? Have you failed?”
“… failure? okay. “If it’s a failure, it’s a failure.”
“What is that… … .”
“It’s irresponsible, but… I don’t know… … . Evan must have died… … .”
“yes. “He is definitely dead, teacher.”
Neither I nor Seren gave this answer.
The sky turned black along with the sound of eerie laughter.
Woooooo-.
A mournful howl echoed through the forest.
Let’s go!
There was no wind, but the bushes shook like crazy.
After the ceremony began, the quiet forest became noisy as if luminescent.
Wow!
The lush tree branches that covered the sky were strangely bent. It makes an unpleasant sound as if the joints are being twisted.
And right after entering the butterfly forest, I saw the scenery beyond the leaves for the first time.
Instead of the night sky, what I saw were dozens of wandering devils.
A mix of winged beasts and banshees were spinning, and a priest could be seen in the center.
“… “Instructor Juan.”
Junian chewed the name out of his mouth.
Priest Juan said with a grin.
“You don’t look good, Junian. Was it an unlucky day?”
“It was the worst day. “Because of you.”
“You mean me?”
Juan pointed to himself with a surprised look on his face.
“f*ck the abominable acting.”
“It’s not just acting, it’s really heartbreaking. Still, he is a lifesaver, but he is treated like this.”
“A lifesaver?”
“Do you think this is a joke, teacher? It seems like he really believes that he survived because his behavior was excellent. “Tsk, tsk.”
Juan said, lifting his index finger.
“Aren’t you looking down on the priest too much?”
“… “What is that?”
“I knew you were an expert at demon hunting. That’s why I definitely needed you for this retreat. The so-called last piece… … .”
The priest looked happy.
They looked down at us as if they were mice trapped in a poison cell, as if they no longer considered us dangerous elements.
“Evan Helvin is not like your average church member. An ordinary cult member must destroy the medium to retrieve his sealed memories, but a minor cult awakens through death.”
“… death.”
“That’s why I needed you. “You know not only about the Dark Church, but also the church members’ memory sealing techniques and how to deal with it.”
Junian’s face hardened.
“And you caused him to die the most horrible death. haha! Evan Helvin will be reborn as the best small religious leader!”
“… “It can’t be.”
Junian, who would not blink at most things, lowered his head with a frustrated expression for the first time.
It seemed like he couldn’t bear the fact that he had created a great evil with none other than his own hands.
“You were right after all, Luan Badnicker.”
Seren also muttered in a vain voice.
Of course, there doesn’t seem to be any way to shout ‘I told you so!’ like an idiot here.
“… hmm. “I told you so.”
Still, I feel so unfair that I can’t leave without saying a word.
Seren made a bewildered expression and suddenly burst into laughter.
“… … .”
“okay. “Then I too will have to pay for my choice.”
“Is there a way?”
“The thing that wiped out the devil, I’m going to use it one more time.”
“Ohh.”
“It takes some time to concentrate. “You know what I mean?”
“You’re trying to buy time.”
I said, habitually bending my neck joints.
“Lazor.”
