Episode 223. Reorganization Day (2)
The breath is still attached, but it is in such an unstable state that it would not be strange if it were to break at any time.
Currently, Princess Arin looked that much in danger.
Unidentified assailants pointing swords at the princess’s neck.
They haven’t revealed who they are yet, but most people already had guesses.
That they are the continent’s greatest assassination organization that follows the God of Black Mist.
“Mi, it’s mist!”
For a moment, I was dazed by the embarrassing sight.
Schurz, who was at the scene, hurriedly took out a messenger ball and conveyed the situation to Lunav.
“Lu, Lunav! Now, Princess Arin and those presumed to be Mists have appeared on the stage!”
Soon, Lunav’s voice came from the messenger sphere.
“What is Senior Arin’s condition?”
“This is very serious! He is literally a total wreck, with blood flowing all over his body! “If I don’t get treatment quickly, I could die!”
“What about Senior Xian? “Is there a senior Xian?”
“Uh, so that’s… … .”
Schurz quickly looked at the faces of the assailants on the platform.
“doesn’t exist! “I can’t see you, Master!”
Brian gave the answer.
“It’s not just you, Master. “Not only Sirica, but even the executive-level members are nowhere to be seen!”
A very important moment when Mist appeared in front of the crowd with the kidnapped princess.
However, the main figures of the organization were nowhere to be seen.
After receiving the situation, Runab immediately gathered his thoughts.
It’s not enough for the head of the organization to show up in person and ask for what he wants, and there aren’t even any executive-level members.
This was not a normal situation.
As a result of quickly organizing the hypotheses arising from all directions and coming to a conclusion,
“Senior Arin who is there right now may not be real!”
Nothing came out other than this.
“In addition to the podium, please look more closely at your surroundings. Maybe there are no others around… … .”
‘Lunav, please take a look at this!’
The moment she was about to give additional instructions through the messenger, Hastia called her in an urgent voice.
Lunav turned her gaze and her eyes immediately sparkled.
‘The Soul Stone is reacting! It seems like I sensed the same fog energy as Sian!’
A thicker and more intense fog than usual was gathering at the Soul Stone.
“Please step back.”
Runab held Hastia back and immediately manifested mana in his hands.
Then, he concentrated all of his mana into his fingertips and continued making incomprehensible hand gestures into the air as if engraving letters.
-Chi profit
Then, a small gate was created in the fog along with a brief flash of light.
‘The gate is open!’
The two women entered the gate without hesitation.
The space beyond the gate was no different compared to the previous space.
A gloomy space surrounded on all sides by an unknown black fog.
At first glance, you may be mistaken in thinking that it is the same space, but
“I don’t think there’s any conflict.”
Lunav was confident that she had come to the right place.
‘Lunav, over there!’
Hastia, who was looking around with anxious rabbit eyes, quickly pointed to one side.
Where she pointed, there was an old chair lying around.
I quickly approached and touched the sitting area,
I felt a warmth that had not yet gone away.
“… … !”
There was even a rope lying around underneath that was believed to be tying the chair.
“Even if you can’t do it, 5 minutes… … .”
There was definitely someone there just a moment ago.
However, this is all the traces that can be found right now.
In order to confirm the situation, more definite clues were needed.
Accordingly, Lunav expressed mana to use magic once again, but
-pot
As soon as the mana appeared, it disappeared immediately, like a light going out.
‘Ma, Managa?’
“Does this mean we can’t use magic carelessly because it’s God’s subspace?”
There’s nothing you can’t do if you use other powers, but since the risk is high,
Lunav decided to take a different approach.
-Kwasik
She suddenly bit her finger hard.
‘Lunav! ‘What are you doing now?’
Hastia, who was surprised, quickly tried to stop her, but Lunab didn’t care and let the flowing blood drop around her.
Then, the black floor covered in fog gradually began to be stained with red blood.

“If Senior Arin was here, he would have to see at least a trace of blood… … .”
Schurz clearly said that Arin was in a state of complete illness, bleeding all over her body.
“Let alone blood, is it just clean?”
However, the surroundings were too clean to say that the princess was tied up in such a state of disrepair.
(I guess it’s a step too late.)
The two women suddenly turned their heads when they heard an unfamiliar voice coming from behind them.
“… … !”
A mysterious being that appears out of nowhere.
He was covered in black fog, so he couldn’t see properly.
However, it clearly had a human form.
The faint smile visible through the fog showed interest in them.
(The child here went somewhere else a little while ago.)
“Who took you?”
(I can’t tell you that. As soon as I tell you that, I’ll be breaking my promise to him.)
Unlike Lunav, who does not give in to suspicious beings and asks questions,
Hastia was facing him with a mixture of confusion and excitement.
‘iced coffee… … .’
He seemed to know who it was.
(He may be my successor, but I can’t help but be amazed. How can I meet such amazing children even when I meet a woman…)
The mysterious being immediately looked at them and let out a satisfied exclamation.
(The princess of the empire, the elf protected by God, and…)
“Are you Aer, the god of black fog?”
Lunav ignored his comments and continued to ask bold questions.
(It’s been a long time since I was stripped of that grand title. Now I’m just the owner of this shabby space.)
Aer revealed himself positively rather than negatively.
Even in the face of such a supreme being, Lunav did not flinch at all.
“Let me first apologize for coming here out of nowhere. “We were also in a bit of a hurry.”
(There is no need to apologize. Even if you are a man, visits from pretty ladies are always welcome.)
“When did Senior Arin leave here?”
(I left here exactly one minute before you guys arrived. It couldn’t have been perfect timing.)
Lunav bit her lip and expressed regret.
Now that I know I was in vain, there’s no reason to stay here any longer.
She immediately turned around.
‘Are you going?’
“There is no reason for there to be more. “I didn’t come here to have a chat with someone who was kicked out of the divine world.”
Despite the somewhat disrespectful words and actions, Aer did not care much.
The moment you open the gate again and try to leave,
“… … ?”
Lunav paused for a moment before expressing his power.
‘Why are you doing this, Lunav?’
“This… … “What kind of energy is it?”
Her eyes flashed in surprise and she made an expression you rarely see.
A subspace of God overflowing with the energy of fog.
A completely different and new energy felt beyond that.
This was most likely an energy spreading from another subspace.
(After all, the owner of a weapon can recognize the energy of other weapons.)
Aer, who watched the scene, said.
“What does that mean?”
(What is there to think about? Doesn’t this mean that there is another subspace nearby besides you and me?)
Lunav’s pupils fluctuated subtly for a moment.
(It can be said that it is a space that you will feel very repulsed by.)
A subspace that is neither yours nor Xian’s nor God’s, but someone else’s.
It may be completely unrelated to what needs to be resolved now, but
Lunav had no idea that would happen.
-Woe!
I activated the power of mana, which had paused for a while, once again, and soon a gate was created with pure white light.
‘W-Where are you?’
Hastia tilted her head at the unfamiliar energy felt beyond the gate.
‘Lunav, where is this place?’
“It wouldn’t be a good place for me and Senior Xian to go.”
However, opening the door meant that he had already announced his intention to enter.
“In other words, it is a space that should disappear for us… … .”
Pure light that so clearly illuminates the pitch-black space.
For her, it was so disgusting that it made her feel nauseous.
“How could I not go in?”
With those words, Lunav threw herself into the gate.
* * *
If I were to think back on time roughly, it was about a week.
I think I passed out in a semi-coma for about 5 days.
The body was so confined that it was impossible to even lift a finger, and the view was obscured by cloth.
Occasionally, someone would come and force water and food into his mouth to keep him alive so he wouldn’t starve to death.
However, such actions further aggravated Arin’s anxiety.
For what reason did they kidnap him?
Instructor Sirika, or rather assassin Sirika, clearly said that she would use herself as a sacrifice to start something.
The problem is that the beginning is related to the draft,
Arin, who didn’t really know anything yet, was just confused.
At the moment when the anxiety and fear were gradually increasing,
-Park!
Suddenly, the restraints on her body were loosened and someone lifted her up.
For a moment, I woke up in a daze,
Arin soon felt that her body was being engulfed by an unknown energy and was moving somewhere.
That’s how we arrived somewhere.
For some reason, a familiar voice was heard along with a familiar energy.
“Are you awake?”
The owner of the voice asked, loosening the cloth covering Arin’s eyes.
Arin, whose vision had cleared for the first time in a week, opened her eyes wide.
“Si, Sian?”
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and checked again.
It was certain.
The man in front of me now was clearly Sian.
There was no other person in the whole world who could look at people so pitifully with such dull eyes.
“Hey, how did this happen? I definitely… … .”
Arin, who was trying to get up, was unable to maintain her balance and stumbled.
-chin
Sian caught her as she was about to fall.
“If you suddenly move it after it has been sitting for quite a long time, it will be difficult. Adapt as quickly as possible. “I don’t plan on holding you back twice.”
Sian treated her with the same indifferent tone.
Arin raised her head again and looked around.
A very familiar space to her, filled with numerous books and bookshelves.
It was the Hwangseong Library.
“Did you save me?”
“yes.”
“why? You are definitely like Miss Silica… … .”
Arin paused without realizing it.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to know the truth?”
“… … !”
“Follow me. From now on, the princess will see the true nature of light and fog with me.”
Arin was dumbfounded.
It’s dizzying that it appears out of nowhere, but what is the truth?
Xian was looking at Arin with more serious eyes than ever.
“Please judge for yourself after seeing the truth.”
“What?”
“What is the order that the princess must follow… … .”
There was no time to worry about the sudden proposal.
It was a very confusing situation in many ways, but Arin decided that she had no choice and soon nodded.
“okay.”
As soon as Xian heard the answer, he immediately turned around.
So, the moment the man and woman were about to set out on the road,
“… … .”
Sian stopped as he grabbed the library doorknob.
“What’s wrong, Sian?”
“Take three steps away.”
Arin did as he said and took three steps away from the door.
Did about a minute pass?
Xian just grabbed the doorknob and didn’t even react.
However, Arin couldn’t bear to ask what was going on.
From Xian’s eyes staring at the door,
This was because I felt an extremely heightened sense of survival and vigilance.
-Suddenly
Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he swung the door open.
-Kang!
The bloody sound of metal clashing blades echoed throughout the library.
