Episode 147. Jinmyeon (5)
“… … ?”
An unfamiliar smell carried by the wind.
A smell that was similar to what Xian usually smells, but was completely different, stimulated the tip of Lunav’s sensitive nose.
That meant that the owner of the smell was quickly approaching this way from not far away.
“Hey junior, let me ask you a favor.”
“yes?”
When the word “favor” came out of Xian’s mouth, Lunav was quite embarrassed.
“Please calm him down.”
The person his finger pointed to was none other than Set.
“hey! I told you guys not to ignore me! Don’t be mistaken! “Nothing more, nothing less, just 5 seconds and all of you will be crushed by me!”
A set that throws out harsh swear words without hesitation and warns of murder.
It was like a large vicious dog barking while tied on a leash.
In response, Runab quietly placed her hand on Set’s head.
“Sweet Sleep.”
After a while, the white powder scattered from his hand entered his nose and mouth, and Set’s eyes closed and he immediately fell into sleep.
“You must be very tired. “I heard the magic better than I thought.”
Set fell asleep soundly, even snoring as if he had never done that before.
The moment I turned my head, wondering what I was going to do now,
“… … ?”
Lunav was startled by Xian’s unexpected secret gaze.
“Why, why do you look at me like that?”
“Well, I guess it’ll be okay… … .”
I thought he was saying something unintelligible, but then he raised one hand above his head.
-Wooow.
The black mana flashed brightly and soon spread throughout the area around them.
“Limited barrier?”
In this place where there are a lot of wizards of 7 stars or higher, a student from an academy with only 5 stars is spreading a restrictive barrier.
Some wizards snorted, wondering what kind of nonsense this was.
However, Lunav did not do that.
What was his intention in creating the limiting barrier?
This probably means that they don’t want what’s going to happen from now on to be leaked out.
To put it another way,
I guess no one can predict what kind of terrible thing will happen here.
-Shuuk
Eventually, Runav saw.
Behind the academy members who were looking blankly at the barrier installed by Xian,
Unidentified men wearing black masks appeared.
“hmm?!”
The members of the academy who sensed the presence quickly turned around, but
-Suddenly
Some couldn’t even confirm what the presence was.
What they saw was a severed head rising into the sky,
-patter
There were red blood drops falling on the face.
“Ugh!”
The shocked members of the academy screamed, but the assailants paid no heed and continued their brutal killing spree.
“W-what?”
Lunav was completely entranced by the incredible sight.
What are their identities?
article? mercenary? Or assassin?
I dare to say with confidence that the current scene is probably the most cruel and merciless scene of life I have ever seen.
So I gently turned my head and looked at Xian next to me.
“… … .”
A very peaceful face, as if the scene in front of you was insignificant.
It was so peaceful that I felt so relaxed.
“The flames of hell will devour everything!”
A wizard suddenly came to his senses and shouted a spell at them.
Inferno Flame, a 7-star fire attribute magic.
The rising flames transformed into the form of a monster with its mouth wide open and attempted to subdue the approaching monster.
-sssss
The strange man also immediately manifested an unknown power.
It is similar to mana, but mixed with a different energy, like a fog.
It was a similar energy to the one I saw from Xian at the ruins a little while ago.
“Black fog?”
The fog soon extinguished the fierce flames of hell.
A wizard whose magic was nullified in an instant,
-Suddenly

He met the same end as the members of the academy who had gone before him.
The wizards of the Auram Society were all organized in less than a minute.
The wizards of Garam Society who were watching this trembled like aspen trees and barely opened their mouths.
“Seo, really? No, it can’t be! Why are they here?”
Movements that are beyond the bounds of the human body, ruthlessness without fear of killing, and even black fog containing all kinds of negative energy.
There was only one place on this continent that would show something like that.
“mist… … .”
Why are there heretics from the continent who follow the God of Black Mist and try to deny the truth of the world?
And this man who is looking at them with indifference to the world,
What exactly is it?
Soon, the monsters’ gaze turned to the wizards of the Garam Society, who were immersed in fear.
However, instead of approaching, he waited in place and secretly made eye contact with Sian.
“I’ll ask first.”
Then, Xian, who had been silent, suddenly opened his mouth.
“yes?”
“Can you handle them?”
Can you handle it?
The words could be interpreted in two ways.
Will you kill the academy members on behalf of those assassins?
Or can she take responsibility for what has happened and keep her mouth shut?
Lunav didn’t know why, but he thought it was the latter.
In the end, either way, they don’t want what happened so far to spread out.
If you say you can’t handle it here,
Those assassins will kill the wizards of Garam Society without a single thought.
To this, Lunav answered right away without hesitation.
“I will take responsibility. Those academy members will never be able to report what happened today to the academy. Even if I have to pull out my tongue… … .”
Upon hearing those words, Xian chuckled and slightly shook his head towards the assassins.
Then the assassins immediately put away their weapons and immediately began cleaning up the scene.

“Drurling cool… .”
Unlike the people around him who are extremely serious, Set is sleeping soundly with a peaceful face.
Even though I poked his cheek and shook his body here and there, there was no sign of him waking up.
After the situation was resolved, Runab moved Set to the village chief’s house.
Afterwards, he personally apologized for the unpleasant actions committed by the society and told the story of what happened at the ruins.
“Things like that happened. “I thought it was getting better now, but it seems like it’s gone again.”
After hearing the truth, the village chief looked at Set intently and sighed.
“Do you know anything?”
“I don’t know exactly either. It’s just a cautious guess among us. It is said that Sabulom visited Prince Set’s body… … .”
“Mo, do you mean Sabulom, the god of sand?”
She asked back, her eyes sparkling.
“He looks so rugged now, but in fact, Prince Set was weak from birth. He got sick often and was said to have been in and out of life and death several times. Still, his talent was outstanding, and I heard that he manifested mana at the age of only seven.”
Compared to normal cases, it was a whopping 3 years earlier.
Although she certainly lacked a bit of intelligence, she did not deny that she was a rare and valuable talent on the continent.
“The problem is that the talent is out of control. One day, while manifesting mana, I suddenly lost consciousness and went wild, causing a huge sandstorm in the center of the castle. The situation calmed down immediately, but Prince Set, unable to withstand the force, vomited blood and fainted for several days. “I remember something like that happened about three times.”
The magical power was so strong that my body couldn’t withstand it and I ran out of control.
It was a wonder that he didn’t die.
“I don’t know what he thought at that young age, but Prince Set must have been very angry at his own weakness. Accordingly, he voluntarily escaped from the royal castle, lived in our quiet village, and trained his body every day. For a whopping four years. He wasn’t exactly at peace… … .”
“What does that have to do with the Sand God?”
“Prince Set once said this. He said that a strange entity always spoke to him in his head before he went on a rampage. And they said that after the binge was over, they couldn’t remember anything. “It was as if someone had come into my body.”
“Is that the God of Sand?”
“Anything other than guessing is just guessing! It was just something we said as a joke. “I wonder if Sabulom just came and went for a while to test the prince’s strength, or something like that.”
The village chief waved his hands in denial, but it didn’t seem like nonsense.
God dwells in a human body.
Regardless of one’s ability, is it possible for a human to handle that?
The human body has fundamental limitations, and no matter how hard you train and try to become stronger, there are bound to be side effects if you overdo it.
This is a fact I know very well, having been the subject of numerous experiments at academic institutions.
There was a faint feeling of pity in Lunav’s eyes as she looked at Set, perhaps because she felt a sense of kinship.
“You may be very surprised, but still, about what happened today… … .”
“Don’t worry. What good can come of ordinary people like us opening our mouths? In fact, I think we are also responsible for accepting outsiders without any boundaries. “I will make sure to warn the villagers as well.”
The village chief granted her request without much resistance.
Lunav, somewhat relieved, got up from her seat and went outside.
In front of the house, the three members of the academy who were the only members of this investigation team who survived were waiting for her.
Each person looked as if they had a lot to say.
Runab looked at them and asked calmly.
“You know what I’m going to say without even saying it, right?”
“Are you telling me to keep my mouth shut? “What about this incident?”
She just nodded without saying a word.
“But when the situation has come to this, how can you not say anything! How should I look at the president’s face? … .”
“It’s not that you don’t talk, it’s that you don’t have to. “I will personally tell my grandfather everything that happened in this village.”
“Lu, do you mean Lunav?”
“yes.”
It meant that she would reveal to the academy that she was somewhere other than the academy.
“Well, then, also about that Sian Berth… … .”
“Sian Bert? Excuse me?”
“… … ?”
In bewilderment, the academy members looked at each other, their eyes flashing.
“The only people you saw in this village were me and Senior Set. There was no such thing as Sian Bert in the first place. “You understand, right?”
“Well, that is…” … .”
“Please swear in the name of the academy.”
They reluctantly recited the society’s mission statement and pledged not to reveal today’s events to anyone.
Lunav passed the academy members that way and headed toward the center of the village.
The scene quickly returned to its original appearance as if it had never happened before.
It was in perfect condition, with no smell of blood, let alone a corpse.
Where is Xian?
Lunav quietly closed her eyes and checked for any trace of his scent that might still remain.
Eventually, he must have smelled something, and instead of heading towards a private house, he turned towards the village entrance.
Step by step, step by step, little by little.
As the smell of Xian became stronger, I felt ominous gazes coming from everywhere.
It feels as if I am walking towards the Reaper’s territory on my own.
Lunav never knew that the owners of those gazes could lead him down the path to the underworld at any time if they wanted to.
But she didn’t care and kept moving forward.
In the first place, it didn’t matter what Xian’s identity was or what power he was hiding.
It’s just important to have someone you like by your side.
Soon, I saw Xian coming towards me from under the shadows around the corner.
“You’re done talking… … .”
For a moment, I tried to speak to you warmly,
Lunav, who sensed an unusual energy, froze on the spot.
What kind of situation is this?
I was seeing a very unfamiliar side to him, who was always relaxed, without the slightest distraction, and looked at everything as trivial.
To the point where I felt like it wasn’t the Xi’an I used to know.
On the other hand, doubts were rising as to whether this was really his true face hidden in the black fog.
Red-hot cheeks.
Rapid breathing.
Even the eyes that have been consumed by life.
Runav thought to himself.
I don’t know why, but the vision I’m looking at right now is,
I’m on the verge of losing my mind.
