Episode 88 Evolution and Proposal
“Didn’t a woman with short, pink hair pass by here?”
“huh? Pink short hair? “I thought you were heading to the carriage station a little while ago?”
“thank you.”
As soon as Adrias heard the news from Lucia, he was chasing after her.
I didn’t know why things had happened like this, but to find out the truth, I had to meet Lucia and talk to her.
“ha.”
Hot breath escaped as I ran.
The side effects due to the evolution of black magic were getting worse, and headaches along with body aches were at their peak. But he couldn’t give up on Lucia.
Adrias, who was running toward the carriage station, happened to spot Lucia boarding a carriage at the carriage station in the distance.
“Lucia!”
Adrias saw the carriage leaving as if he could not hear it because the distance was quite long, so he caught the carriage passing by and got on it.
“Please chase after that carriage.”
Fortunately, I was able to catch up in time.
Adrias, who was suffering from fever while following Lucia’s carriage, had a complicated mind.
‘What actions led to the butterfly effect? ‘This is the first time Lucia has dropped out, or rather, the first time she has dropped out of all playable games.’
Perhaps because of Adrias’s urging, the carriage increased its speed and gradually caught up with the other party’s carriage. The other person seemed to have noticed that there was a carriage following behind him, so his movements were strange, but he soon slowed down and came to face us.
“what? “Why are you following me?”
The driver of the other carriage ran side by side and shouted.
Then Adrias opened the carriage window and called Lucia.
“Lucia! Lucia Everlast!”
Then, as if the voice had reached him, the window on the other side opened and Lucia appeared.
“senior? “Why are you here?”
“First stop the carriage!”
It was difficult to have a conversation over the sound of the carriage moving.
Lucia bit her lip slightly, nodded, and stopped the carriage.
When each other’s carriages finally stopped, Adrias and Lucia got out of their respective carriages.
“Senior, why are you here?”
“That’s what I’m going to say. What’s happening all of a sudden? “Why did you drop out?”
Lucia did not answer Adrias’ question and just looked at the ground.
Seeing that, Adrias sighed and grabbed Lucia’s arm.
“Let’s go back. “It’s not too late.”
“Thank you for your concern. But I’m not going back. “It’s already too late.”
As she spoke, she pointed in a direction.
Then, a middle-aged man with all-white hair was walking there, carrying a long spear on his shoulder.
“what? Is this a giveaway event? “Why are you here too?”
“Why are you here?”
Adrias and Salem looked at each other in confusion.
“You’re such a cheap person. Am I the one you call me?”
“Salem. So why is Salem here?”
When Salem’s name was mentioned, the eyes of the coachmen who had been nearby widened. At first she thought she had heard wrong, but this time she appeared without changing her appearance, so the coachman recognized her and tried to run away in a hurry.
“Where are you going? huh?”
Salem disappeared for a moment and then reappeared, blocking the driver’s path.
And then he ‘ate’ it up in an instant.
“ah.”
Lucia let out an exclamation as if she couldn’t believe it.
On the contrary, Adrias shook his head and sighed.
To begin with, Salem Yedidiah was close to a villain.
He has a strong tendency to act on his own terms, but to him, killing a couple of people before something annoying happens is nothing.
Salem made the two coachmen disappear without a trace and spoke to them casually.
“so. “How much did we talk about?”
“Why are you here?”
“okay! “Why are you here?”
“I came to pick up Lucia. “Does Lucia’s dropping out of school have anything to do with Salem?”
“Seeing as you don’t even know that, it looks like you just followed along. okay. Lucia Everlast has decided to become my disciple from now on.”
It was the worst.
Although Salem was kind to Adrias, she was a villain who definitely belonged to a dark wizard.
To become his disciple meant that one could no longer come out to the sun.
‘No. There is only one exception.’
If you become equal or stronger than Salem, you will be able to betray him and come out to the sun.
There was already a precedent for that.
But even putting all that aside, I couldn’t stand by and watch Lucia become Salem’s disciple. Salem’s magic was basically based on human body transformation. I couldn’t allow Lucia to learn magic that was quite vicious among black magic.
Aside from the fact that it was black magic, during the process, you could feel tremendous physical and mental pain and your heart could be broken.
“Lucia. Think again. Salem is a warlock.”
“haha. “Some people say it like it’s not true.”
Salem was laughing next to her, but Lucia didn’t seem to understand.
While his headache was getting worse, Adrias tried to ignore Salem’s interference and spoke again.
“You will be chased. I can’t see my family comfortably, and I can’t wander around outdoors. “Do you want to live that kind of life?”

“yes. “I want to live a life like that.”
From Lucia’s answer, Adrias was able to infer why Lucia made this choice.
‘You held Salem’s hand for healing.’
Adrias paused for a moment, slowly gathered his thoughts and spoke again.
“Lucia. I actually knew. “You’re sick.”
“yes? How did you do that… … .”
“I think I understand why you want to follow Salem now. But trust me. I will definitely make a cure for you. “Just give me two months.”
“You knew all this time, but you lied to me?”
Lucia’s reaction was unusual.
Adrias froze and said nothing at her unexpected reaction.
“Did you know that I was sick and have been acting like that all this time? I’m dying, but I watch it from the side and it doesn’t matter… … .”
A strange flow of mana flowed from Lucia, whose eyes were red.
Uncontrollable emotions were expressed as mana.
“Lucia. That’s not it. I’ve been… … .”
“I have nothing more to say. “Don’t hold on to me.”
Lucia barely calmed down her mana and started walking towards Salem.
Embarrassed, Adrias tried to reach out to her, but immediately felt a huge chill and fell to one knee.
‘Side effects… … .’
Salem asked while looking at Adrias.
“what. “Where are you hurting?”
Lucia’s head suddenly turned when she heard that Adrias was sick.
A look of worry that she couldn’t hide was evident on her face.
“Salem. It’s not possible. I won’t let you take Lucia.”
“What is he saying now. “Why are you arguing against the story we decided between ourselves?”
“Lucia. I can never take you away. “I won’t allow it.”
The fever and headache made my words come pouring out without thought.
Lucia Everlast is one of the keys to saving the world. I was desperate because I couldn’t let that key get contaminated right in front of me.
No, it wasn’t just that. Personally, he couldn’t give up on Lucia.
He couldn’t let go of Lucia, who had already settled into one corner of his heart.
“Lucia. please. “Give me one last chance.”
Adrias’ appeal, which appeared to be unwell, was heartbreaking.
Even though Lucia felt betrayed, she could not ignore his cries.
Lucia bit her lip, pondered, and then approached Adrias.
“I have a lot of fever.”
When I squatted down to be at eye level with him and touched his forehead, I was able to check how hot Adrias was, like a fireball. When she thought that he had unreasonably followed her in this state, her heart became sad.
And from that perspective, I had no choice but to surrender.
When Lucia turned her head and was about to tell Salem that she could not follow, Salem struck first.
“I don’t think you’ll stop saying nonsense about not being able to go now.”
“ah… … .”
Lucia looked at him, speechless.
Salem was not a pushover.
“Lucia Everlast. Don’t warn me. If you do not follow me, I will kill Adrias Cromwell right here. It’s no joke. “If you want to check, just go somewhere.”
Adrias and Lucia’s bodies froze as death poured out with a bloody warning.
It was as if life itself had become tangible, and I could not move as if I were standing in front of a huge snake.
Adrias, who barely escaped the restraints by activating his body with mana, hid Lucia behind him.
There was no chance of winning if we fought Salem.
But even so, I couldn’t send Lucia down a path that was clearly going to be ruined.
For now, all we can do is hope for Salem’s mercy.
“Salem. sorry. Instead, I will make up for Salem’s wasted time in other ways.”
“compensation? Hey Adrias. “I’ve been treating you so well so far that you’ve been creeping on me endlessly?”
Salem aimed his spear.
The magic he gathered at the tip of the spear was unusual.
“The reward is your neck. “You bastard.”
The ‘evil snake’ trembled, spread out into dozens of branches, and pierced into Adrias. Adrias immediately drew his sword and blocked dozens of snakes that bared their teeth.
visor! Chaejaejaejaejae!
Each of the snake’s heads was imbued with great power.
Even though Adrias blocked it with his sword and Lucia opened a shield, it was no use.
Adrias was sweating as he felt like he was dealing with dozens of excellent spearmen at the same time.
Pow! Sigh!
Eventually, the attacks that I could not block began to lodge in my body.
The snakes’ attack was strong enough to pierce rocks, and even easily pierced Adrias’ body covered in mana.
“stop!”
Lucia shouted and stepped forward.
“I’ll follow you. So, please save my senior.”
“okay. Don’t make me feel bad and come quickly. “I don’t want to kill Adrias for no reason.”
Salem frowned at Lucia’s declaration of surrender.
When he withdrew his spear, the snake heads that were stuck in Adrias’ body were pulled out.
Adrias stumbled as blood poured out, but he managed to plant Galakshur on the ground and support himself.
Seeing that, Lucia tried to approach again, but Salem warned her.
“Now you can stop acting as you please. Lucia Everlast. “Don’t act like a child.”
Lucia, who stopped at Salem’s warning, retreated with a sad look in her eyes.
Lucia turned to Salem like that, but she still couldn’t stop looking back, as if her eyes were not leaving.
“Adrias. “I’ll just let it go this time, but if you show off like that next time, no matter how much I like you, I’ll kill you.”
After saying those words, Salem turned around and walked with Lucia leading the way.
Adrias, who had no choice but to watch Lucia leave, managed to pull Galakshur out of the ground and stand up.
Couldn’t protect it.
A feeling of emptiness filled Adrias’ mind along with a headache.
‘no. ‘Not yet.’
There was definitely something that could change this situation.
The knowledge gained from numerous game play experiences will definitely be able to attract Salem’s interest.
At that time, a phrase appeared on Adrias’ retina.
[Adrias Cromwell: The dark magic series has evolved.]
[The talent ‘Dark Magic Spirit Series (Prodigy)’ has evolved into ‘Dark Magic (Prodigy)’.]
Clutter.
Salem, who was walking, suddenly felt something grabbing his feet and stopped.
When he glanced at the floor, he saw a curly shadow holding his ankle.
“wait.”
My head cleared and the chills disappeared.
Adrias Cromwell said while using the shadow magic he had taken from Kyler.
“Salem Yedidiah. “I propose a deal.”
