00918 A Poisoned Chalice, Two. ————————————————– ———————-=
As the red sun set in the west, night came to the fairy forest.
Tall bushes and lush trees densely planted on the ground. Moreover, it was late at night, and the night fog that had been covering various places was gloomy and dreary, and for some reason, even created an atmosphere that felt bare.
It was strange. Of course, at first glance, the scenery is no different from any other forest, but anyone who knows the characteristics of that forest will tilt their head to the side at the eerie feel.
The forest where the fairies live is a beautiful place all year round, day and night. To be more precise, it is not because of the fairies, but because of the influence of the world tree, Yggdrasil, that the characteristic is that it is warm in the morning, cool at noon, and creates a quiet and serene atmosphere in the evening.
In other words, the reason the Fairy Forest was like that now was that something was wrong. Or maybe some kind of incident related to Yggdrasil occurred.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
“Black!”
Is someone secretly masturbating deep in the dark forest? Her mouth was tightly closed, but moans were intermittently leaking through the gaps between her fingers. However, rather than sounding strange, it feels more like suffering from pain.
“Uuuuugh!”
At that time, the voice suddenly became louder. At the same time, the moaning cycle gradually became shorter, and the small room was quickly filled with stimulating sounds.
“ha… . ha… .”
Erwin took a deep breath as if the pain had subsided. His delicate body, lying on the grass covered with his clothes, was trembling. His entire hair sticks to his cheeks due to sweat, making him look like a pregnant woman in labor.
A moment later, a hand, which had been moved with difficulty, gently pressed on her bulging chest. Erwin was struggling to hold on to the unknown energy swirling in his chest.
This is not a phenomenon that has suddenly appeared recently. It was an energy I felt long before I came to the Fairy Forest, to be exact, when I went to look for Eldora and Excalibur’s sheath.
However, at first it was just a feeling of tightness in my chest or pounding heart.
However, at some point, the intensity became increasingly severe, and after Nimue disappeared for no reason, the activity of this energy suddenly became more active. Every time Erwin struggled with the despair of losing his long-time friend and the sense of loss, his energy slowly grew in size, nourished by negative emotions. And now, it has completely bared its teeth.
In fact, the surrounding environment can be seen as the first condition for successful germination of a seed. In fertile soil, it bears fruit without difficulty, but in poor soil, it is difficult to germinate.
In this way, no matter how high the quality of the ‘devil seed’, Erwin’s mind and body were the worst environment for germination.
However, just as the land, no matter how rough it is, turns into useful land after cultivation, the same was true for Erwin’s body. In fact, Erwin had an intuition that was almost certain. If this energy grows just a little bit, he will try to dominate his body and mind.
Suddenly, a memory flashed through Erwin’s mind of unsealing the sarcophagus in the past and being enveloped in the black smoke that flowed from it.
“Whoa…” .”
Now even my breathing was trembling.
‘I can’t do it…’ . As it is… .’
Erwin, who was barely able to catch his breath, managed to remember even while the pressure was unbearable.
‘We have to go there before it’s too late…’ .’
The moment he thought that, Erwin’s head tilted back. He was so exhausted that he almost fainted and fell asleep.
However, strangely, the vibration of the body still did not stop, and it continued to tremble, albeit weakly. It was then.
Slurr, slurr!
As soon as Erwin fell asleep, something suddenly slipped in through the crack in the closed door.
At first glance, it looked like a gas, or smoke. Smoke with a glimpse of dark red light. Of course, no one knows exactly what this acting is, but if Kim Soo-hyun were here and witnessed that acting. Perhaps it reminded him of Thanatos right after he was intercepted by Ansol?
After a while.
In a split second, the smoke that had been swirling around the blades of grass, like a snake coiled in a coil, suddenly flowed into Erwin’s body. There were no exceptions anywhere where there were holes, such as the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The fairy’s body endlessly sucked in smoke as if it were rain falling on a drought-stricken land.
After a long time, every bit of the dark red smoke was absorbed and disappeared, and my body, which had been constantly shaking, suddenly stopped trembling and found stability. At the same time, Erwin falls down and begins to slowly rise into the air.
By the time it rose to well over a meter. This time, it spins forward slowly, at a very slow speed.
It was the moment when I had turned halfway and the soles of my feet slightly touched the floor.
There were no omens.
Erwin’s eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened.
Hahaha!
At the same time, the red eye light explodes, brightening up the small room. The color of the eyes was so eerie and ominous that one could not even think of them as Ye’s calm, aqua blue eyes.
“hmm. “Is it over?”
The voice that came next was short, but clearly Erwin’s. However, I can’t shake the feeling that there’s something strange about being calm yet dry. Even if you are a friend who has been close for hundreds of years, it is an extremely awkward voice that will make you look back at it at least once.
“Hmm… .”
The breath I had been holding was exhaled. Then, he continues to act out of nowhere, such as twisting his neck from side to side or twirling his arms around.
After acting like he was warming up for a while, Erwin nodded and opened his mouth.
“This is fine. Porseus did a pretty good job.”

As usual, it was a clear morning with not a single cloud in sight.
However, Mercenary Castle, and not just the castle, but the entire city, had a truly bustling atmosphere. This is because today was the day to begin the first attack on the Central Continent.
The first hit was the former Northern Confederacy, which occupied the western part of the city outside of Atlanta. The expedition team, led by Gong Chan-ho, consisted of close to 6,000 people, and left the main gate of the southern city early in the morning amid expectations and cheers.
There was no need to follow or see them off as they used the warp gate, but most of the Mercenary Clan attended the expedition’s departure. This is because, among the Mercenary Clan members, Geunwon was the only one to participate in the Northern Alliance.
Although it was a double struggle alone, it was unavoidable in order to activate the warp gate. (Geunwon, as always, did not show any reaction.)
After receiving several goodbyes, Geunwon left with the expedition team with an expressionless face, and the Mercenary Clan members, who had finished watching, returned to the castle.
It’s only the first day of the expedition, so there’s nothing to get excited about, but once the Northern Alliance builds an outpost and activates the warp gate, you’ll have to wait every moment from that point on, so it’s right to prepare in advance.
Vivian habitually tried to head to the ancient magic city of Magia, but when she reached the warp gate, she turned around. Since he was the first to take the Memoria Stone from Magia, he would not be able to go until the capture of the Central Continent was completed.
Except for the sight of the woman who was said to be the head of the central management organization running around like crazy, the road back to the castle was peaceful as usual.
However, as soon as I entered the main gate of the castle, the call box suddenly responded. It was Kim Soo-hyun’s call.
Vivien quickly washed her buttocks and climbed the stairs as if she were flying. But unfortunately, he was unable to kick in the office door with the momentum he had running. Of course, there was a good reason for that.
Vivien sneaks a peek through the slightly open door. Soon, my eyes become filled with absurdity, as if I had seen an unbelievable scene.
‘He… . What are you doing now? ‘Why are you doing that with a knife?’
Inside the room, Kim Soo-hyun was looking intently while holding Excalibur, beautifully wrapped in a white cloth.
however.
Yikes!
The strange thing is that the cloth was torn to pieces in one go, like tearing clothes. All you have to do is just gently take it off.
Hum!
But the knife is even weirder. No matter how strong your ego is, the moment your sword body is exposed, you start crying. It was an energy that could hardly be considered favor. Even Vivian outside the door felt as if her flesh was being pricked by needles.
“joy.”
That wasn’t all. Kim Soo-hyun, with a cold smile, touches the sword body without hesitation. He skims it with his fingertips, and even rubs it tightly with both hands. It’s a really fancy gesture, as if he’s molesting a woman.

Kim Soo-hyun eventually stopped his hand and touched Excalibur with a puzzled look on his face.
“after. This is a really funny sword. You act so gentle, but you get so happy just because I touched you a few times? It wasn’t a sacred sword, it was just a dirty sacred sword, right? haha.”
Then did I feel shame? Excalibur’s hilt, studded with large jewels, trembles. Kim Soo-hyun grinned.
“No? well… . “No matter how much you hate it!”
And the moment I suddenly licked the jewel that contained my ego,
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!
Excalibur spouted unprecedentedly powerful blackness and burst into dazzling light. The wave of light that rose up explosively, coloring the body of the sword, eventually shot out from the tip of the sword.
“Your body is honest.”
At the same time as those words are spoken, a ray of light flows down and scatters along the twitching blade.
Soon, Kim Soo-hyun threw away Excalibur carelessly and turned his eyes to the door.
“finished. “You can come in.”
Vivien almost hit her butt for a moment. But he managed to keep his balance and sneaked inside. Kim Soo-hyun shook off his hands and went back inside his desk and started searching through his drawers.
“Um, Kim Soo-hyun?”
Vivien, who had been watching quietly, cautiously opened her mouth.
“What were you just doing?”
“ah… . Humiliation, no. “I guess you could call it a teaching assistant.”
“Insult? assistant?”
“okay. I need to tame the knife a bit. “Don’t think it’s too strange.”
Kim Soo-hyun answered calmly. Vivien reflexively licked her lips.
“Tsk… . okay. Well, I think you have your own reasons.”
“Thank you for thinking that way.”
“But why don’t you do that for me?”
“what?”
“no! “Why did you call me!”
“… … ?”
Vivien screamed without even realizing it. Kim Soo-hyun tilted his head for a moment, but then closed the drawer and strode forward.
“You know that the former Northern Alliance expeditionary force left today, right?”
“Uh, yes. “I’m on my way back after seeing you just leave?”
“okay. As you know, I’m going to be a bit distracted from now on… . Before that, there is one thing that needs to be urgently resolved. “Your strength is needed there.”
“huh? Isn’t our turn fourth? The West City of the Northern Alliance, the East City of Clan Istantel Low, the North City of Clan Hamill, and the South City of our Mercenary Clan. “If there is time, there will be plenty of time.”
However, Kim Soo-hyun slowly shook his head.
“The key to this plan is the warp gate. Of course, it won’t happen right away, but in fact, you have to wait closely from the moment you leave. “The moment something happens, you have to move on right away.”
“is it… . Anyway, how can I help you?”
As Vivien clenched her chin, Kim Soo-hyun slightly hid what he was holding in his pocket.
“Please summon the Third Legion.”
“Third Legion?”
Although I questioned it, it wasn’t that difficult as I had a record of summoning it once. It’s just annoying that you have to draw a magic formation differently from other legions.
After a while, Vivian, who had summoned Ordo of Order, began to calmly draw the line.
However, is it because of the blackness that quietly sobs(?) in between?
The more I concentrated, the more I remembered the scene where I played with Excalibur earlier. That thought soon developed into a delusion where he imagined himself being hit by Kim Soo-hyun’s palm and crying while clutching his red buttocks. In addition, a woman named Seonyul taught me something called Ahegao Double Piece… .
“Uh, uhhh!”
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. I just drew Jin wrong for a moment… .”
“Well… . “You just have to do it within today, so take your time.”
Kim Soo-hyun clucked and clicked his tongue. Vivian shook his head, then glanced at Excalibur, which was stuck in a corner. And he thought.
‘Envy you… .’
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
As I said last time, I have an appointment at noon today.

thank you _(__)_
P.S. A new cover has been uploaded. The main character of the new illustration was Han So-young. Isn’t it pretty? Haha. (I uploaded the cover, notice, and garden.)
