Episode 367 < Disgusting. (1) >
One.
Not everything went as well as the wedding.
Time passed quickly.
I closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened them, a month had passed. This is not an exaggeration, it was truly a moment. To the point where I felt a little unfair, time left me alone and ran alone.
‘I can’t help it.’
Doesn’t time feel faster as you get older? Even if it’s my physical age, my mental age is already meh.
I tried to figure out how old I was, and I quit when I reached three digits.
are you okay. My physical age is still in my 20s… . This alone makes it sound like you’re insisting that you’re still in your 20s… .
“Glory be to the moon of Ivansia! Duchess, we have surrounded the gates as you ordered!”
As I was thinking about the harshness of time, a knight came running and saluted me.
“Ah,” I came to my senses.
“thank you for your effort. “Chief of Knights.”
“You’re welcome!”
“We sent a surrender envoy, but there was still no response?”
“yes! “They are calling for a desperate fight until the end!”
“That’s foolish.”
I clicked my tongue.
Around me, the elite soldiers of the Ivansia duchy, including the knight commander, stood like an iron fortress. Military discipline was strict. A large army numbering as many as 6,000 people surrounded the small town.
Why did I, who had been conducting an interview on the first floor not long ago, end up in the middle of a medieval battlefield? … If you ask, the reason is simple.
Raviel was almost assassinated.
To be more precise, he was assassinated.
2.
After winning the duel with the [Primordial Staff], I stayed on the first floor for a while. As Anastasia strongly argued, sometimes I had to show my face to people.
However, it was a time when the inter-ethnic wedding had ended without incident and the turmoil of the underground civilization was in full swing. While conducting an interview with a reporter, a message rang in my head.
[Skill activated.]
I was puzzled.
That’s because I didn’t use any skills.
Did he notice that my expression had become strange? The reporter conducting the interview in front of me asked, “What’s going on?”
The moment I tried to respond with a smile and say it was nothing, I experienced ‘a certain skill’ working for the first time in my life.
[‘A Returner’s Love (EX)’ is activated.]
That was the starting point.
[You share a timeline with the other person.]
[The timeline ends.]
Uh huh, huh?
My eyes were spinning. My vision was black and mixed like ink spaghetti. The reporter was taken aback and asked, “Death King? Death King!?” A shouting sound could be heard from far away, but even that sound quickly moved away.
[You are dead.]
[Returns to 24 hours ago.]
And I was probably the first human being to experience the experience of ‘death without really doing anything.’
“…….”
“die! “Please die, you evil idiot!”
After I blinked, the scenery changed. The reporter who was interviewing me suddenly disappeared. Instead, Anastasia was holding my neck and rocking her back and forth.
It was back to 24 hours ago.
“This is crazy.”
I realized the full extent of the situation. Why did I suddenly die?
The message clearly stated that [A Returner’s Love] had been activated.
[A Returner’s Love] is a skill that allows Raviel and I to share the same timeline. When I go back a day, Raviel also goes back a day, and the two of us always breathe on the same timeline.
If Raviel dies, that is, if Raviel’s time comes to an end… … . Of course, my time also comes to an end. When the two of us die, we die together.
But I have [Returner’s Wind-Up Clock].
When I die, I immediately go back to 24 hours ago. Since my timeline is being turned back, so is Raviel’s time.
In short, as long as the two skills, [A Returner’s Love] and [Returner’s Clockwork], are intact, the two of us will never meet a perfect death.
Just dying for a day.
“…….”
I was never in danger of death before. I literally didn’t do anything. Still, the fact that the clock started turning means that someone else, not me, died.
That meant Raviel’s death.
“okay! You crazy bastard! die! “Die!”
Of course, Anastasia didn’t notice that I had just regressed. I guess I took the ‘this is crazy’ thought that came out of my mouth a little differently.
“You don’t have to scream at me to die like that. “Anastasia.”
I muttered.
“Because he just died.”
“what?”
“I returned from tomorrow to today. now.”
“…….”
Only then did Anastasia properly look at my expression.
“… … what. “What’s wrong with your face?”
“What does my face look like?”
“You look like you’re about to catch someone. It’s a little scary, man. Was the death so shocking that you had to make that face now?”
“This time it’s different.”

“Uh, um. I see It was different… . “Can I ask what was different?”
“Because Raviel died, not me.”
For some reason, Anastasia’s complexion suddenly darkened.
There was silence.
Anastasia took her hands off my neck. Then she closed her eyes tightly and sighed until the ground fell.
“This is crazy… … .”
“I’m sorry for bringing up the underground civilization issue without consulting you in advance. However, I think that this incident will lead to greater cooperation between guild members in large guilds. “If you need to be scolded, use me.”
“okay… . huh… … . Well, that could happen.”
“Anastasia.”
“Let me tell you… .”
“I’m truly sorry to have to entrust you with this work during this busy time, but I will be going to the Empire.”
I said quietly.
The voice was so cold that it sounded unfamiliar even to my ears.
“It is difficult to say how long it will take. But I promise to take care of the matter and come back as soon as possible.”
“… … Gongja Kim.”
“yes.”
“Don’t kill too many… .”
“It’s hard to promise that.”
I took the holy sword.
“Kkiek?”
“Piyayak.”
Silbaem and Fox, who were playing with Seonggeom, looked up at me. As if to ask, ‘What’s going on?’
But the two constellations looked at my face and immediately shut their mouths.
“…….”
“…….”
The snake quietly climbed onto my wrist and wrapped itself around me. The fox became a scarf without saying a word. Without waiting for the constellations to wrap around my body, I walked out into the hallway of the dorm.
“Sylvia Evanail!”
Sylvia was waiting in the hallway of the dorm. Sylvia, who was once called the Lady of the Golden Silk, has completely become my subordinate since the [Cow Harvester of Ruins] was defeated. She was the chamberlain of our family.
Sylvia looked bored at first glance. While he was leisurely yawning in the hallway, his shoulder flinched when he heard my name.
“Yes, yes? “Matriarch?”
“Invite everyone in the house. However, there is no need to make an effort to summon vassals who are far away. “I will give you five minutes, so all the vassals who can gather now will gather in the garden.”
“Eh. bothered. Besides, 5 minutes is too short. Why all of a sudden… … .”
Sylvia made eye contact with me.
“… … It must be because the head of the family has the same will as heaven! yes! I’ll gather the kids right now! Yay! It’s work, work! I’m really happy to be working! Damn it!”
Sylvia ran furiously.
I went down to the garden first and waited.
The place I was staying was a type of shared accommodation. Not only me and my vassals, but also the Black Dragon Lord, Inquisitor, Count, Holy Knight, etc. lived together. However, it was ambiguous to say that they lived in the same mansion. Each person lived in a separate building, and the space they shared was at most a garden.
Families came down to that one public land one after another.
“…….”
The first person to arrive was Esther. Esther, who held the position of advisor within the family, was the successor to lead the family on my behalf in times of emergency.
Esther shared a glance with me and waited quietly. Esther didn’t even say a single question about why he had called so urgently or what was going on.
After Esther, there is Kim Yul. Next to Kim Yul is Samagun. After Sima Jun, the church members gathered.
They looked at mine and Esther’s faces alternately, then closed their lips in the same way as Esther’s.
Finally, 5 minutes passed. There were many vassals who had not yet arrived, but I had no intention of wasting any more time. In fact, even waiting for 5 minutes took a lot of patience.
“What about Uburka?”
“The military commander is dispatched to the 5th floor and is helping the underground people negotiate. father.”
Esther answered expressionlessly.
“The Jijeong people love the smell of the earth and find comfort in the dampness of the underground. So, we sent a dispatch, expecting that we would be able to communicate well with the tribe that created the underground civilization. Shall I call you?”
“no. done. I do not have time.”
I turned my head. About a hundred vassals were looking at me. Although they may not have been embarrassed by the sudden call, they were curious as to why the call was made.
I answered their questions.
“Raviel is dead.”
Pop.
The sound of breathing stopped in the garden.
I smiled.
“To put it bluntly, I will die tomorrow. Thanks to my skills, I was able to know Raviel’s death in advance. Indeed, heaven is your help.”
I was making a joke of my own. Since I am the one who represents Macheon, the fact that I guessed Raviel’s death through my skills was none other than heaven’s help.
But no one responded to the joke. No one even tried to force a smile.
Esther’s expression hardened. Kim Yul closed his eyes. Among the Sima Army, the Sword Demon broke into a cold sweat, and the Ghost Demon Demon performed a funeral ceremony.
“I can’t even imagine who harmed Raviel. “I don’t know how brain-drained he has to be to do something like that.”
I lifted the corner of my mouth. Since no one laughs at jokes, I have to laugh too.
“But one thing is certain: his imagination is far inferior to mine. because? “He can’t imagine hell.”
“…….”
“No matter what hell that bastard imagined, it will be nothing more than an infinitely comfortable paradise compared to the hell he will experience from now on. “I want to show you that no one in this world is as capable of creating hell as someone who speaks of heaven.”
I turned my back.
Requests and orders such as to follow me or to come with me were not verbalized. She just walked ahead.
The footsteps of about a hundred people followed behind me.
[You will be transferred to the 25th floor.]
The transfer destination was Sormwin Academy.
Sormwin, which was originally the best academy in the empire, developed further after an exchange agreement was concluded between Babylon and the empire.
A government office in charge of exchanges was built, and houses for the officials working at the government office were created. As precious trade goods came from Babylon, superiors were created to handle them. Nowadays, Sormwin is a city rather than just an academy.
As soon as I was sent, I was greeted warmly by an imperial official.
“hello! Welcome to the Empire! Excuse me, but for what purpose… … .”
“I am the wife of Duke Ivansia.”
I looked at the bureaucrat.
“I came not because of Babylon’s affairs, but because of family matters.”
“uh…….”
The official stammered. It seemed like he recognized me. Well, if the person who is in charge of the exchange doesn’t even recognize my face, I have nothing to say even if I get a failing grade at that point.
The official’s countenance soon became tinged with contemplation. Starting with me, about a hundred vassals were sent. The immigration office, or rather the immigration office, was taken aback when they saw us suddenly appear.
“Once again, this is a family affair.”
Unfortunately, I didn’t have the time to convince them step by step.
“If you don’t want to mess around with Duke Ivansia, get out of there. right now.”
The bureaucracy could not stop me. The knights and soldiers guarding the examination center cleared the way. The hunters dispatched from Babylon and the guild members belonging to the Black Dragon and Sangryeon saw my face and immediately returned to their original positions.
I headed to the Ivansia Duke family’s villa built next to Sormwin.
“Boo, ma’am! “What the hell is going on?”
The Duke’s soldiers panicked and blocked my path.
“If you are coming, please send us a message in advance so we can welcome you… … !”
“I don’t know why something that can’t even protect its owner has the shame to stand in my way.”
“Yes, yes?”
I smiled brightly.
“I want to arrest you right now and hold you accountable, but first I want to see Raviel’s face. I won’t tell you twice. Get out of the way. Well, it doesn’t matter anyway if you don’t get out of the way.”
“what……..”
“I don’t have time to waste on you.”
I nodded.
Esther moved. Esther cast a joint device on the soldier and immediately incapacitated him.
Church members came out later than Esther. In literally an instant, the duke’s villa was suppressed by force. The Blue Lion Knights tried to resist us, but they were trampled as easily as old leaves crunching to pieces.
I walked down the hallway.
Six servants were camped in front of the bedroom where Raviel was staying.
They were all servants who had been trained in preparation for assassination. They were also Raviel’s cherished close associates. Normally, they were very trustworthy, but now in my eyes, they were nothing more than the duke’s benefactors or spoilers.
“ma’am.”
“Step back, Moon of Ivansia.”
“From here on out, no matter how much I call you a wife, you can’t carelessly—-.”
Is there any need to listen to this banquet of nonsense?
‘There is none.’
I lightly used my aura to scan the six servants.
“…!”
The servants collapsed in the hallway. No sound or moaning was allowed.
They remained conscious and simply swam on the bottom. It was made that way on purpose. I wanted to feel the deep shame of not being able to block my path for even a second.
Leaving the fussing servants alone, I opened the bedroom door.
Kkei Iik-.
The door opened.
“Hmm.”
Raviel was sitting on a chair and looking down at the clock.
Despite all the commotion and viciousness I did, Raviel wasn’t particularly surprised. He nodded his chin slightly, as if he had expected this to happen.
“Is it 13 minutes and 27 seconds?”
The red eyes took their gaze from the wind-up watch and looked at me.
“I thought it wouldn’t take 5 minutes if you came alone, and I thought it wouldn’t take 15 minutes if you came with a group of people. indeed. “The distance between us was 13 minutes.”
“Forgive me for being late. “Raviel.”
I smiled.
“So, which bastard can I kill?”
Raviel smiled bitterly.
