Chapter 26: Ghost’s Territory (2)

It is very difficult to classify the monsters that are the enemies of humanity because their appearance and properties are so different, but if we had to do it, they could be divided into three types.

Demonic beasts, demons, and evil people.

If I had to choose the most difficult opponent among these, I would pick Sain without hesitation.

Demons, evil spirits, monsters, etc.

As the prototype of all these things, it is cunning and does not like direct competition.

However, it is the most cruel and its power is also quite bizarre.

And it likes to put on human skin and imitate that human.

-From considerations on monsters

* * *

Angelosh, the territory of lost angels.

When Goeui spoke of sacred blood as a medium for improving the human body, it was the name that immediately came to mind in Zion.

In fact, there were many types of sacred blood, commonly called the blood of holy beings, but the blood that was considered the best was the blood of angels, who were called messengers of God.

angel.

An entity that only appears in the Bible and whose existence is unclear.

There was a legend that such an angel had landed in the territory of Angelosh, and it was true.

‘Because the angel’s blood actually exists in Angelosh.’

Of course, let alone the world, even the people living in the territory were completely unaware of the existence of angel blood.

In the next few months, the angel’s blood will be stolen by demonic beings and become known to the world.

And in the process, it was only natural that the Angelosh territory would be destroyed.

Zion planned to obtain the Precious Blood himself first.

‘I need that guy to get that kind of blood.’

As Shion thought so, he looked at Elesis, who was glancing in his direction for some reason.

When our eyes met, she was startled and turned her head.

Unlike the other two members of the mercenary group, Elesis never came close to Zion.

Although she didn’t have much power yet, did she feel something because she was a future saint?

“The place you see over there is the Angelosh territory. “It seems smaller than expected?”

At that time, Rat’s voice came to Zion’s ears.

As he said, the size of the territory that existed not far away was small enough to be called a village.

If you think about it, it was natural.

There was no way the scale of this mountainous territory without even a magic train running could have been large.

“Let’s go in first and find a place to stay.”

Zion and the mercenaries immediately move toward that territory.

And that was the moment when they finally entered the territory.

‘This… … .’

Shion’s eyes, which had been bright for a moment, quickly began to sink.

Just like right before a battle.

at that time,

“It’s been a while since you were an outsider.”

Some of the residents of the territory who discovered Shion and his group came nearby.

“My name is Kellin. “Are you mercenaries on an adventure?”

Among them, the middle-aged man in front introduced himself and offered to shake hands.

“Haha, that’s right. I came to explore a nearby dungeon. “I’m planning to take a break and leave early tomorrow morning. Is there anywhere I can stay in the estate?”

Rath, holding the man’s hand, asked with his signature sad smile.

“As you can see, our territory is very small and there is little interaction with the outside world, so there are no facilities for outsiders. Of course, there is no place like an inn.”

“Hmm, is that so?”

A look of trouble appeared in Rath’s eyes when he was young.

The man spoke to them as if he remembered something.

“Ah, if it’s okay with you, I’ll talk to the lord. Our lord loves adventure stories, so whenever travelers come, he invites them to his castle to stay. Of course, we’ll have to talk a lot instead.”

“Oh, would you please?”

Rath’s face lit up.

There was absolutely no reason to refuse.

Because it was much better than sleeping at home or outside.

Moreover, such adventure stories were Rath’s specialty.

“What will you do, Zeon?”

Still, since his employer was Sion, Rath looked at Sion and asked.

“… … .”

However, there was no answer from Zion.

“Zion?”

No, it was correct to say that I couldn’t answer.

Is it because it is a distorted force in itself?

Heukseongha reacted sensitively to twisted things.

That’s why Zion could be seen.

No, I could feel it.

There is also a man in front of me who introduces himself as Kellin.

There’s also a girl sticking out her head and looking this way.

An old woman with a kind smile.

That everything you see is distorted.

There were no longer any humans in this territory.

‘It’s all already been eaten.’

It was not simply disguising itself as a human like ordinary monsters or demons.

Something that devours the insides of living humans and covers them with their skin.

The slight sense of discomfort that arose from that turned into distortion and was affecting Shion’s senses.

‘Is it near Ma Station?’

I couldn’t feel the magic energy, but it was an energy that could be hidden from the beginning.

Although it was too early, the most likely cause at the moment was the demonic role.

Has the content of the chronicle changed again?

Or has it been like this from the beginning?

I didn’t know, but right now, reconstructing my future plans was more important than worrying about that.

‘Maybe it would have worked out better.’

Shion concluded his thoughts like that,

“Go to Yeongju Castle.”

He answered Rat in a calm voice.

Soon, Zion’s eyes were drawn to the huge castle rising in the middle of Angelosh territory.

* * *

The hallway of Lord Angelosh Castle.

“Something is strange… … .”

Elesis looked at the servant walking ahead and whispered to Rat and Ember next to her.

The lord, who heard the story from Kelin, was delighted and brought them into the castle, and as if that wasn’t enough, he even invited them to dinner.

Therefore, she and the other two people were currently unpacking their bags, taking a short break, and heading to the restaurant with the attendant.

“You mean Zeon? For some reason, you were avoiding me from earlier… … Isn’t it okay except for not saying anything? “It’s not as difficult as I thought.”

Ember said, recalling the Zeon harness that wasn’t here after hearing Elesis’ words.

Their employer, probably tired from the long distance travel, refused to eat dinner and chose to rest alone in his room.

“no… … . That person is so handsome that it’s a burden, and the other person… … .”

“Oh, that’s right, you were allergic to good looks, right? “Then which one?”

This time Rath slightly tilted his head and asked.

“Everything.”

“entire?”

“Yes, everyone in this territory.”

A strange sense of discomfort felt from the moment one entered the Angelosh territory.

Although she couldn’t put it into words, Elesis felt that sense of discomfort from everyone she saw.

No, it wasn’t just people.

“And these pictures are a bit strange too.”

Numerous paintings hung on both sides of the hallway she and her companions passed through.

Among them, the portraits of the people were depicted with great precision.

As if seeing a living person.

Elesis felt a sense of discomfort even in those pictures.

“Paintings? “In fact, it is rare to see this many paintings in an ordinary lord’s castle, let alone an art museum.”

“No, that’s not it… … !”

“Haha, my lord’s hobby is collecting paintings. And he takes pleasure in hanging the paintings he has collected in the hallway and showing them to guests.”

The attendant walking in front seemed to have heard Amber’s words and opened his mouth with a smile.

“After eating, take a closer look. “As long as you follow a few precautions, you will be able to enjoy the event safely.”

‘safety… … ?’ It was time for Elesis to once again feel a sense of discomfort from the servant’s words.

“Now, please go in here. I hope you enjoy your dinner.”

As if we had already arrived at the restaurant, the servant opened the door in front of us and slightly lowered his head.

Elesis swallowed that feeling and walked into the restaurant along with the rest of the group.

The moment she and the others entered the restaurant, again!

The eyes of all the paintings hanging in the hallway turned towards the restaurant.

“Oh, please sit down. Adventurers!”

One man and one daughter per wife.

The lord of Angelosh, who had a basic family structure, welcomed Elesis and his party as they entered the restaurant.

“You said you were going to explore a dungeon tomorrow, so I prepared some kind of meat to give you strength. “I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”

“Haha, no! “Thank you for letting me come into the castle like this.”

Rath smiles and answers the words of the lord, who seems to have a personality as generous as his belly fat.

“But where has one gone?”

“Ah, Mr. Zion is not feeling well and is resting in his room. “It’s against etiquette, but he asked me to tell you that he asks for your understanding.”

“Well… … “I’ll have to send you a separate meal later.”

The lord looked worried at Rat’s words.

The meal that followed those words was very lively.

“Five gnolls are running ahead with their eyes shining fiercely… … ah! I really thought I was going to die. But then arrows came from behind! And it poured out… … .”

“So what happened?”

“Haha, who am I? Isn’t this a red-handed Rat? Immediately after grabbing it with my hand… … !”

Rath constantly told stories about adventures that were similar to his field of expertise, and the lord and his family listened to the stories with bright eyes.

‘Was it a mistake?’

Looking at them, Elesis tilted her head.

The lord’s attitude was so polite that it was hard to believe he was a nobleman, and unlike before, I didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

‘Maybe I felt wrong because I was tired today…’ … .’

at that time,

‘uh?’

A strange scene caught her eye.

The lord’s wife was cutting the meat in front of her with a fork and eating it with a knife.

With that, the feeling of discomfort comes back again.

Elesis looked at her attentively, but the lord’s wife was again cutting it with a knife and eating it with a fork, as if she had always done so.

‘As expected, it’s strange!’

But the scene was already vivid in her mind, so it was time for her to grip the fork strongly.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

The lord’s daughter, who had been listening to Rath’s story with bright eyes, stood up and said that.

“Where are you going?”

“I suddenly feel a bit sick. “I’m sorry you have a guest.”

“… … “Okay, I understand.”

The lord, who looked at Yeosik with a strange expression for a moment, nodded.

“sorry.”

“Oh, no! “I don’t think you’re feeling well. Please go and get some rest.”

Rath responded by waving his hand at the girl who bowed her head towards them once again.

The woman smiles faintly at him and then leaves the restaurant.

“… … .”

Elesis looked at the woman’s back with shaking eyes.

* * *

Sweet!

The restaurant’s door completely closes.

From the mouth of the woman who stood there for a moment with her back to the door,

“Ha, I can’t take it anymore…” … .”

Words of unknown meaning flowed out.

The girl’s expression looks as if she is hesitating about something.

“Wouldn’t it be okay for at least one person to eat first?”

Soon, the girl’s eyes began to take on a strange glow.

“I told you I don’t need anything except that priest bitch anyway. “Then wouldn’t it be okay for me to decide when to eat?”

The girl mutters like that, as if she is rationalizing it to herself.

At the same time, the corner of Yeosik’s mouth began to tear right below her ear.

A laugh that is absolutely impossible due to the structure of the human body.

“Yeah, it won’t matter.”

However, for Yeo-sik, or rather, for Chiral, the evil man who ate her insides and covered up her skin, this was a natural laugh.

In conclusion,

“Khihihihihihihihihihi!”

Chiral starts running like crazy through the hallways of the Lord’s Castle, letting out a creepy laugh.

“That guy… … “That guy is mine!!”

Kiral muttered in a voice full of excitement, and the image of a man named Zeon Harness that he had seen a while ago appeared in his mind.

A face like a sculpture with spotless white skin.

That figure was close to the ideal type that Chiral had been looking for.

That’s why, from the moment I first saw it, I couldn’t suppress the urge to devour it and cover it with its skin.

“hurry! hurry!”

Now Chiral, who is beyond excited and even crazy, slowly begins to see the door to the guest room.

Jump up!

Kiral, relying on impulse and instinct, quickly reached the front and opened the door.

The room was dark.

None of the lights were on, and not even the moonlight outside the window came in.

It’s literally pitch black.

‘Where is it?’

Chiral looked around the room where there was only darkness, looking for prey inside.

Eyes shining with appetite.

But there was nothing that Chiral could see.

‘No way he knew in advance and ran away… … .’

It was that moment.

‘It’ was what caught Chiral’s eyes.

At the edge of the field of vision.

It existed there.

Something pure white floating in the pitch black darkness.

“what is this… … .”

No matter how hard I tried to look straight ahead, I couldn’t see it.

No matter how much you move your eyes.

No matter how much I turn my head.

It was always present at the edge of my vision.

As if it was fixed.

“iced coffee… … .”

A strange and foreign sensation that comes from it.

That feeling begins to stir in Chiral’s mind.

A sight that even he who deals with all kinds of strange powers cannot understand at all.

At the same time, as the fear welling up from deep within Chiral’s body covered Chiral’s whole body, it suddenly came to the side like an illusion.

But I couldn’t move.

I couldn’t resist.

Like prey caught in a spider’s web.

Chiral’s body was already completely controlled by it, down to his fingertips.

“I was waiting to see when it would come.”

A voice that is extremely languid.

Along with that, its eyes slowly draw an arc.

The moment Chiral’s eyes were filled with complete fear as he looked at that scene, Quad-de-de-duk!

Before he knew it, the wide-open darkness had engulfed his entire body.
