Chapter 541
Runaan lifted his trembling eyelids.
‘I’m dizzy… .’
I don’t know how much time has passed. It felt like more than two days had passed, but it was a basement with no windows, so I couldn’t really know anything.
“… Thanks to turning my attention to the blood of my subordinates, I was able to decapitate the ogre lord without difficulty.”
Syria, who was sitting within reach if he stretched out his hand, pursed his lips with a mad gaze.
“The next mission was rescue. It was to rescue the bugs that had fallen between the canyons, but it seemed like a waste of time, so I killed them with my own hands and reported that they were all dead.”
“… … .”
Runan clenched his fists while looking at Syria’s twisted eyes.
‘What are you thinking?’
I can not understand.
At first, I thought it was over, but Syria did not touch a fingertip after subduing only the Aura.
He kept talking about himself, but his intentions were unpredictable.
“ah! Something interesting happened there, have you ever heard of human hunting? Just like releasing and killing animals, they intentionally let people go… .”
There was one more strange thing.
Surprisingly, the murderous intent and anger towards him slowly subsided, even though Syria continued to say such disgusting and disgusting things.
What’s even more bizarre is that I felt a sense of kinship with him, as if I had been with him for the evil deeds he had done.
‘Maybe because of this.’
Runaan lowered his gaze to the floor.
In a rough and dusty room that was originally used as a warehouse, a red magic circle that seemed to be painted with blood was installed.
At first, I didn’t know the effect of this magic circle, but now I get a rough feeling.
My senses are being smoothed out as if they had been rubbed with sandpaper. The magic that loosened the emotions and spirits was evident.
‘I don’t care what this magic circle is.’
Runaan chewed his molars gently.
‘Because I’ll endure it until the end.’
Every time my murderous intent and hatred for Syria subsided, I thought of my parents, Raon, and Gwangpungdae.
As I drew my precious people, I felt that my distracted mind was firmly filled again.
“It wasn’t that I only committed murder. I did good things sometimes. Areas affected by floods… .”
“Mom and Dad.”
Runan looked at Syria and raised his eyes fiercely.
“How are you two!”
“don’t worry. Because I adjusted the medicine so I wouldn’t die.”
Syria recited in a friendly tone the eerie words of drugging her parents.
“How can you believe that? show me. Show me that you two are all right!”
Runan bit his lip, saying that if Lokhan and Clara were dead, he would die here too.
“That’s not difficult.”
Syria beckoned, and the two prosecutors standing behind opened the door and went outside.
After a while, the swordsmen returned and found Rokan and Clara in their hands. The two of them were exhaling with their eyes closed. It was like fainting.
“I have no intention of killing you two just yet.”
“Ah, yet… ?”
“Sleon is not a doghouse, and Sieghart will think it strange if the family head suddenly disappears. My father and mother will hand over the position of head of household to me and retire quietly.”
He said it was a retirement, but it can’t be an ordinary retirement. He meant to kill.
“you… .”
He glared at Runaan’s slion, revealing it.
“What the hell do you want to do!”
He clenched his fists so tightly that red blood flowed from his grip.
“This precious thing.”
Syrian wiped the blood from Runan’s grip with his finger and brought it to his mouth.
“ah… .”
Runaan’s legs trembled and stepped back. It should give me goosebumps, but I didn’t feel anything because of the truth.
“because of this!”
She hit Jin-beop hard, but instead, only the red color grew stronger.
“Did you ask what I want to do?”
Syria sucked up all the blood from his fingers and raised his mad eyes.
“Simple. I will stab Sieghart’s heart.”
“what?”
“Soon the continent will become a sea of fire. Slion will quietly stand behind Sieghardt as he has been doing until now, and he will stab them in the heart at the most critical moment.”
“Do you think that will work?”
“It is not that difficult.”
Syria reached out into the air. A black stream spread like smoke, and a goat’s helmet with long horns appeared.
“That, that helmet… .”
Runaan’s chin trembled at the sight of the goat’s helmet. It was a pitch he could not have known.
“Take a good look.”
When Syria put a goat’s helmet on his head, something like molten metal flowed from inside the helmet, covering his whole body and forming black armor.
The lower body was that of a goat, the upper body was that of a knight, and the goat’s helmet glowed with purple eyes that were chillingly cold.
“Bar, Baphomet. Then you’re a bad sheep… .”
Runaan leaned against the wall and grabbed his wobbly arm.
‘That’s why I brought up the story of Baphomet.’

The reason Syria suddenly talked about Baphomet in the restaurant and the reason he became obsessed with me, my blood relative, was because he was covered by Baphomet’s helmet.
“okay. I am a bad sheep.”
Syria admitted that he was the evil spirit of Eden and let out a hot breath.
“Oh, brother! Give me back my brother!”
Raon said that the soul of the monster inside the helmet ate the human soul and took over the body.
The reason why her brother, who was kinder and more affectionate than anyone else in her childhood, disappeared was evidently because Baphomet inside that helmet had swallowed his soul.
“That’s not it.”
Syria shook her head slowly.
“In reverse, I ate Baphomet.”
“… what?”
“restoration. I just want to return this peaceful continent to the era of paradise ruled by monsters according to ‘his’ ideal.”
He chuckled and laughed, saying that he had swallowed Baphomet.
“ah… .”
Runaan swallowed dryly. crazy The author is really crazy. I wanted to stop it no matter what, but there was nothing I could do.
“The beginning of the Continental War.”
As Syria raised her left hand, a new helmet appeared with black flames.
It was similar to the helmet of Baphomet he was wearing now, but the cheekbones were smaller, and the horns protruded longer.
“You and I will be at the center.”
He covered Runan’s face with his helmet and curled up the corners of his mouth.
“My dear sister.”
* * *
Even though Raon knew that Martha and Dorian were drifting apart, he did his best to walk.
‘Why are you so far… .’
The outbuilding of the Slion family is built on the outskirts of Sieghart’s manor.
Normally, I didn’t think much of it, but when it became frustrating, it felt so far away.
– Isn’t it slow! move faster!
Lars said he was slow as a slug and slapped him on the back.
“Damn it… .”
Raon bit his lip. As Lars said, my legs felt sluggish.
He regretted that he had to focus not only on swordsmanship, but also footwork training.
‘Please, I hope nothing happens.’
I overreacted and Runaan reassured himself that I had just overslept, but all I could think of was bad thoughts.
‘Because there’s no way he’d break his ice cream promise.’
If Burren or Martha didn’t show up at the meeting place, I would have thought so. They neither like ice cream nor hate it.
But Runan has never broken an ice cream promise.
It was clear that something bad had happened since he had been waiting an hour early each time.
-I can see the house! is that right?
Lars raised a finger toward the blue roof that fell in a graceful curve.
‘that’s right.’
Raon nodded and kicked the ground more violently. No matter how the aura was consumed, I focused only on speed and ran to the front gate of the Slion family.
There were two prosecutors standing in front of the front door, and they seemed calm as if nothing had happened.
“Stop.”
“This is the estate of the Slion family. What have you come for?”
As Raon stood in front of the door, swordsmen blocked the way and asked about the intention of the visit. The two showed wary eyes with their hands on the sword bottle.
“Gwangpungdae Vice-owner. This is Raon Sieghart. 2nd team leader Runan came because he did not respond to the summons without any contact.”
“Meet Raon.”
The swordsmen lowered their hands from the swordsmen and bowed as if they were rude.
“Did you say that Runan-nim didn’t come to the convocation?”
“yes. He didn’t come after two hours, and he didn’t contact me, so I came.”
Unlike the actual time, he lied and said that two hours had passed.
“Well, we haven’t heard, so please wait a moment.”
The swordsman on the left opened the front door and entered the mansion in the center.
“… … .”
Raon looked inside the mansion using the ring of fire and the senses of tales.
‘There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly strange… .’
I tried to express my feelings in detail, but I didn’t feel any signs of a battle or that someone was dying.
The movements of the servants and prosecutors inside were also calm.
However, there was no sign of Runan anywhere.
‘Where have you been?’
As I concentrated my mind to find Runan’s location, the door of the mansion opened and a sad old man came out.
‘That old man… .’
I remember seeing It was the butler who stood behind Lokhan Slion during the selection ceremony.
“long time no see. Raon.”
Rokan’s butler politely bowed his head.
“Lady Runan is not feeling well, so she is receiving treatment and is sleeping.”
He licked his lips briefly, saying that he overdid it while training with Lokhan yesterday.
“I want to let you know that Raon-nim has arrived, but I can’t wake him up because he just fell asleep. sorry.”
The butler said he was really sorry and bowed his head deeply.
“Then can I see you sleeping?”
“Hehe, Runan-nim is no longer a child, but a woman. No matter how much she says she’s the unit leader, I can’t listen to that. Please understand.”
He shook his hand with a soft smile as if he expected the question.
“I made a mistake.”
Raon nodded and looked at the mansion.
“Runaan said that his room overlooks the gymnasium, so he must be in the room on the left over there.”
“no. The lady’s room is on the right. You seem to be mistaken.”
The butler shook his head, saying that it was not a gymnasium, but a place overlooking a garden where flowers were blooming.
“okay. I must have been mistaken.”
Raon scratched the back of his head and nodded.
‘That’s right.’
Runaan said the room overlooks the garden. He checked to see if the butler had been replaced, but he knew exactly where Runan’s room was.
However, in the room on the right where Runan was sleeping, her presence was not felt.
‘There’s no way I can’t find Runan’s presence.’
I can be sure because I’ve been watching it for almost 10 years. Runan is not in that mansion right now.
“hey! what the hell… .”
“Do, young master… .”
Martha and Dorian, who arrived late, stopped at the door with their faces crumpled to death.
“It’s no big deal. Let’s go back.”
“huh?”
“Uh, what is that… .”
Raon smiled as he held Martha and Dorian’s shoulders.
‘Something must be happening.’
He bowed his head to the butler, not revealing his true thoughts on his face.
“I’m glad that Runan is safe. When he wakes up, tell him to come to the gymnasium.”
“All right. Thank you for worrying about my lady.”
Greeted by the butler, he left the entrance of the Slion family.
“What the hell is going on! Are you really okay?”
“Have you seen Captain 2’s face?”
Martha and Dorian frowned, asking why they came all the way here without seeing Runan’s face.
“I don’t know exactly either. But it is clear that something happened to Runan.”
Raon stopped the sound from escaping with a gas curtain and explained the situation to the two.
“Then you can just go in!”
Martha pounded her chest in frustration.
“Let’s hit them all and break them!”
“If it gets loud, I might take Runaan hostage.”
Raon shook his head and turned around.
“You guys, if you hear a loud noise from that mansion, run immediately.”
“Is it loud? What are you trying to do… .”
“Because if Runaan is being held, we have to save him.”
After telling the two of them a simple plan, he hid his presence.
I easily climbed over the wall and hid myself in a tree in front of the mansion.
‘Las.’
Raon called out to Lars, who was staring blankly at the empty space while holding his chin.
‘Can’t you feel anything?’
– First of all, it’s not in that house.
The guy’s lowered eyebrows trembled as if he was concentrating on finding Runan.
‘okay.’
Raon nodded and followed the butler’s presence through the front door.
He went into the mansion and talked to a master swordsman.
Hearing the butler’s words, the prosecutor went out to the back of the mansion and stood at the center of the small martial arts arena. After wandering there for a while, he returned to the mansion.
‘What’s over there?’
– I found it!
As Raon spread the stems of the aura down the gym, Lars jumped up and down.
-I was dizzy because of the nasty mana, but there is an ice cream girl down there! Not in good shape!
He raised his hand and pointed to a small warehouse on the outskirts of the gymnasium.
‘Not good? Are you hurt?’
-It is not the body, but the soul is in a state of obscurity!
As Raon was about to run to the warehouse, Lars’ words continued.
-However, there are many strange things installed on the stairs going down! Avoid it as much as possible, and you won’t be late!
‘hmm… .’
After listening to Lars’ words, he felt a strange concentration of mana. The pitfalls to pass the time were obvious.
‘It’s a trap… .’
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at the ground where the swordsman was standing a moment ago.
‘I don’t have time to play with stuff like that.’
* * *
“eww… .”
Runan’s lips trembled as he looked at the purple eyes of the evil sheep.
“Don’t deny it.”
Syria grinned as she turned the second Baphomet helmet with her finger.
“That truth will reveal your true heart. If you were attracted to me, then you were in love with me too… .”
“shut up!”
Runaan shook his head and chewed his tongue.
‘It is a lie.’
Syria is a human being who breathes lies. It was clear that this tactic was not to reveal the truth, but to break down the wall between the soul and spirit.
Even knowing that, I couldn’t stand it. Slowly, the fog filled her head, and her heart loosened like a broken rubber band.
“Because you’re always cute.”
The door opened with a knock as Syrian scratched his cheek as he looked at Runan, who frowned.
The warrior who brought Rokan and Clara entered and bowed his head.
“Raon Sieghart has come.”
“what?”
“Lady Runan didn’t come to the convocation, so she came.”
The prosecutor told everything Raon had come to the front door.
“ah!”
Runaan clenched his fists with trembling hands.
‘Raon… .’
you believed in me
Hearing Raon’s name, the feelings for Syria that seemed to touch his heart disappeared, and the fog that had filled his head was erased as if washed by water. She came to her senses as if she had washed her face with cold water.
“For now, it’s said that he’s back, so don’t worry… .”
“Don’t worry… .”
Syria turned around and stroked the prosecutor’s head.
“Poem, Sir Syria?”
“You don’t know Raon Sieghart. That madman will definitely come all the way here.”
The moment his low words ended, the swordsman’s head exploded, and blood like a fountain soaked the walls and floor.
“ah… .”
Runan’s fingertips trembled as he watched the magic circle dye more and more red. It was an incomprehensible act to kill his subordinate suddenly.
“Let’s do some preparation first.”
After throwing an unknown marble at the corner of the room, he approached Runan.
“I am looking for a natural encounter. I wanted you to love me the way I am. But there is no time.”
He raised his mouth while holding Baphomet’s helmet.
“It is already late. Raon will definitely stop you… .”
“Maybe. But not today.”
“Hey, wait!”
“I was exposed to Jinbeop for two days, so it won’t take long.”
Syrian held both of Runan’s hands and placed Baphomet’s helmet on her head.
Quaaaaaa!
Black energy flowed from the helmet’s eyes and wrapped itself around Runaan.
“When you open your eyes again, a new world will unfold.”
“iced coffee… .”
Runan tried to forcefully remove the helmet, but her hand could not overcome Syria’s strength and stopped scratching at the helmet.
“Oh, one more. This brother is a bit jealous. From now on, don’t mention another man’s name.”
Syrian smiled as he stroked Runan’s hair that had fallen out of his helmet.
“By the time Raon reached this place, everything was over… .”
As he stepped back, leaving Runan on the floor, the red ceiling shook and collapsed with a roar.
Kwaaaaaaang!
Amidst the pouring dust and stone fragments, red eyes flashed.
Chow ah!
The owner of the red eyes cut a sharp blade at Syria’s neck without hesitation.
