Chapter 668 – 661 Canyon City Nirain
Oh oh oh… !
A storm of light raged through the living room filled with luxurious furniture and utensils.
Kung— Wow!
Hard… Kwaaang… !
Kugung, Tuong-
Furniture falls over and tables fall over due to the gust of wind accompanied by physical force.
Light fruit baskets, small vases, picture frames, candlesticks, plates, decorations, etc., Flew in all directions and hit the walls until they started hitting the slightly panicked women.
Puck! Tang—
= Wow! Sorry, it hurts… !=
=Yul is the older sister! Come here! Where is Norn!?=
“I’m here.”
Bang! Tadak-!
Kung- Deed Deed
= Crush! Ouch, Bell! Bell!=
= I, I’m here… Hey!=
Rattle rattle rattle. Clink!
Hwanin, who induced spiritual energy and deep core force to avoid the shrapnel person and collected it with both hands and released it, thought to himself at the sound of smashing furniture in his ears and the screams of his girlfriends as they were beaten by such furniture.
‘Originally, there was no physical aftermath of the Spirit Spell. Is it an added element due to the cycle of aura and mixture?’
Isilite closes her eyes near her own and slashes away her props flying this way. Anne protects Norn with her body by cooperating with weaker Yurpa, and Baek Ryeo-gang protects her with a body strengthened by Ah-yeong’s Eucharist.
In the meantime, the fact that the Spirit Spell had already been maintained for over a minute made Hwanin worry.
In the past, the soul spirit spell was maintained on its own when a certain amount of spirit energy and core power were shot together, and then slowly disappeared.
But now, after a certain amount is consumed when it is activated, it feels like the spiritual spirit and core power continue to flow weakly, and the soul spirit continues to be maintained.
The momentum is also stronger than before, and if you continue to inject Reiki and deep core power, you will feel that the Spirit Spell will continue to be maintained.
‘Looks like it’s changed from a triggering type to an installation-sustaining type.’
Carefully releasing her two hands, blocking her aura and core power. Then Hook—a thin film of energy spread out around him once, pushing away all the violent air currents and disappearing.
Tang- Tae-Dang, Peoseok, Kung- Wagruru—
The living room, which had been noisy for a while, becomes quiet as if it had never been before with the sound of falling furniture that had been flying around.
The noise outside stopped and the city fell silent again.
However, the pillar of light is still maintained, and the sight is stained white, and you can barely see the front.
=… Turn off, are you done? Dolyeong?=
= Self… ?=
Hearing the voices of Anne and Yu Lepa carefully calling out to her, he groped her inside pockets and felt a tapping, tapping sensation inside her inside pockets as if alive.
“Finished. The pillar of light is still there, but it will slowly fade away. Is everyone hurt anywhere?”
= Uh I’m okay. Yul is fine except for getting hit with a fruit basket and a tin cup. Norn is fine too. Are Ayoung and Bell okay?=
= I’m fine too. Everything is fine except for one of the flying frames getting caught on Bell’s horn. Wow, but this is a spirit possessor. It doesn’t work.=
=This, this is not an ordinary spirit drink… It wasn’t like this before.=
= Yes? Did your brother use it and make it awesome again?=
Isilite, whose eyes have become more or less accustomed to the light, begins to walk around her room, setting up her knocked-down furniture and organizing household items that have been knocked over or blown over.
In a storm of light, the blood spewing from the corpse of Nassarat’s assassin painted the whole area, making it a bloodbath.
She said that tidying up doesn’t make things tidy, but the women put the furniture in place first. Because there is no place to sit.
Meanwhile, Hwanyeon informed him that someone was approaching him in his arms.
「Hwanin. A 6th grade professional is running this way with a spear.”
“Are there any spirits left to share sight?”
“I thought you might use a spirit spell, so I deliberately sent some kids back to the ghost realm to keep an eye on them.”
“Good job. So who are you?”
Another Assassin, Nassarat’s Assassin’s Squad, has arrived, so I’d like to think it’s the Savior’s turn, but there’s no way they’ll get aggro when they see the pillar of light. The most likely one is…
“Your attire is that of a nobleman. But not Flavius.”
Ah-young, who had been putting up a fallen bookshelf and put back a vase, small picture frame, statue, and small interior box instead of a book, hears the story and asks.
= Huh? If it’s not Flavius, the spear wielder, but a 6th class professional noble… Isn’t that guy blue, close to black, by any chance? The spear is purple and jagged like lightning.=
“That’s right. Do you know who it is?」
= There is a 90% chance that that person is the lord of Nirain. Seeing his brother’s thick and huge pillar, he ran. =
After looking at Ah-young, who giggles at her sex drip, the women continue tidying up the room.
Hwanin looked at Ah-yeong, who continued to clean up the bloodstains by calling a low-level water spirit to help Baekryeo-gang with her lavender-colored bobbed hair.
It has been four months since she joined the party. Her heart would have been dedicated together when she offered her virginity, but now she feels completely melted into her party. That sex drip is proof of that.
= Master. Please sit on the sofa.=
Isilite brings out and holds out a sofa that has been wiped clean of bloodstains from her holy water prisoner.
Hwanin, who was sitting there, chewed the cud of the improved spirit wine he had just opened while waiting for the arrival of the person who turned out to be the lord’s representative.
The aura that was used in the Spirit Spell just now was about 31%, and the core power was only 15%.
When I first opened it without recognizing it, I used 40% of my core power and my aura went down to the floor. Even if the total amount of core power increased, even with the addition of a phenomenon called physical force, only 15% was used…
‘It’s not long before I realize the black and red spirit spell that Elkata saw at the time of the war.’
If we make the mixture into a suitable prison, wouldn’t it be possible to unfold it right away?
Suddenly, when I open the black and red spirit spell, I wonder if it will really exert the power to turn everything within its sphere of influence into sand.
Hwanin crossed his arms and buried himself in the back of the sofa a little more.
‘By now, all the souls in the sphere of influence must have attained Buddhahood.’
Now that I am reluctant to even contact the soul, I have no intention of having sexual misfortune that might make the fragmented person stronger.
In addition to that, the Spirit Spell was used as a ploy to avoid trouble and isolate the Assassins of Nasrat, but it is a bit regretful to think that the mixed presence would have disappeared with a high probability.
Criminal facts to find out through mixed media? Human and material damage and moral responsibility due to evidence destruction? Something to find out
A fight broke out between the prisoners inside the prison, resulting in death. Legal punishment is necessary, but public opinion will not support or sympathize with anyone.
‘The black and red spirit wine is an attractive power, but I haven’t even used the sapphire spirit wine yet.’
I don’t need it right now, so I put aside my regrets. If you look at the flow of this world, it seems that you will be able to see the confusion again soon.
‘Anyway.’
“Arrived.”
At the same time as Hwanyeon’s words, Kwagwang!! One side of the room’s wall was shattered with a roar, and a woman’s silhouette burst into the room with the flash of a pillar of light.
Due to the backlighting of the light, the aura is unclear, but who it is is guessed through Hwan-yeon and Ah-young.
But trespassing is trespassing. For the priority and initiative of the conversation, Hwanin immediately ordered Isilite.
“Isilite.”
=Four.=
She just called her name, but Isilite perfectly read her phantom’s mind and slashed her beloved sword, Red Rick-Alter, at her female silhouette.
Swordswoman’s strike, which did not add or subtract even a single gram, was pierced with enough power to distort the space, while two multiple swordsmen were also cut through with a time difference.
=Kuu!?=
Didn’t you think you would be attacked? In a situation where if she could not avoid or block it, she would be cut into four pieces and die. The female silhouette twisted her whole body in admiration to avoid the multi-sword attack, while at the same time deflecting the Red Rick-Alter with a spear in the form of a purple scimitar.
Even just looking at that, it reveals the level of skill of that woman’s silhouette.
Isilite’s blow with all her might split the ground. On top of that, it was a time-lag attack that was inflicted unexpectedly.
Avoiding all of them and passing them off unscathed means that you learned how to control strength with skill and softness, so it’s enough to be in the ranks of the strong.
But the opponent is bad.
Since Isilite wasn’t predictable to evade, one of the multi-sword blades left behind by her, aiming for the slight gap revealed by the woman’s silhouette caused by brushing off her greatsword, stabbed her like lightning.
A woman’s silhouette, Daeryam, the lord of Nirain = Hemilnia was unable to make a sound at the series of fatal attacks and rolled to the ground in her humiliating posture to avoid it.
It’s a strong attack. It is also a sharp attack. The way to bring the momentum and flow of the attack is also excellent. It’s dangerous, but as long as you grit your teeth and activate a draw, you’ll be able to have a fun fight.
However, the humans who are attacking now are Seongje’s subordinates. Fighting is very tiring politically.
Because of that, Yam-Hemilnia, who threw away the face of the acting lord and evaded by rolling on the ground like a donkey, gave a shout at the golden moment secured in the gap.
=I am the lord’s deputy!!=
Stop.
Are you shouting that at this time? At least I thought I’d scream to stop the fight after getting a few knives to the body…
Isilite, a little regretful, straightens her greatsword and puts her on alert.
There is a big difference between attacking without knowing the opponent’s identity and continuing to attack even after the opponent reveals his or her identity.
Woo-wook, Yam barely caught his breath = Hemilnia growled as she gritted her soft-toothed eyes, looking into the interior, which was not properly visible due to her light.
= I guess they attacked me because of a misfortune, but I will introduce them again. I am Yam Hemilnia Nirain, who rules the canyon city of Nirain as the lord’s deputy. She went directly to grasp this mysterious phenomenon. =
=… The reason why I swung the sword at the lord was unavoidable, so please understand.=
= Who are you? Reveal your identity.=
Isilite and the other women were a bit surprised that the lord came out more rational than they thought.
I was attacked first, so it’s okay to jump up and down…
=I am Isilite who serves by the side of Hwanin, who is the holy emperor of Yeongdo and a candidate for the great saint.=
= Isilite. Is it the enemy swordswoman Issilite? She listened So, I need to hear why you attacked me. If it’s not fair, even if it’s the soul knight of the Holy Emperor, you’ll have to pay the price for pointing your sword at the great noble.=
= Just before the lord’s deputy arrived, she was attacked by six assassins from Nassarat. In the meantime, there was someone who broke the wall and intruded, so she decided that it was her colleague and attacked to subdue it.
=…=
Yam = Hemilia shut her mouth.
That she was attacked by an assassin? Come to think of it, her room is filled with the fishy smell of blood. I couldn’t help but notice the smell of fresh blood that had only been out of her body for a few hours.
I’m happy, but I’m not happy. The fact that his city was attacked by assassins is enough to get the capital’s bastards to blame for security issues.
If Seongje had been hurt before that… !
= Who is injured? Is the Holy Emperor all right?=
= I’m nervous, but everyone is safe. Seongjenim is also unscathed.=
= I’m lucky out of misfortune… There seems to be a lot to say and a lot to hear, but more than that, did this light come from the Holy Emperor? If so, I’d like you to lend a hand. Aside from being annoying because you can’t see it, it’s threatening the safety of the city.=
Nirain is a canyon city, but it is also a foremost fortress on the border of evil factions.
Since this spectacle unfolded in the middle of the night, it could be seen for hundreds of kilometers at least. Higher intelligences of evil faction would be suspicious, but lower intelligences might be stimulated by this and come in droves.
It was a reasonable and reasonable request in her situation, but she took that into consideration and did not apply to the Hwanin who opened her spirit spell.
“To dismiss the celestial lantern that guides lost souls to the light as an annoyance and threat. The God of Mercy will punish you.”
= What is that… !=
Yam = Hemilnia, who tried to rebel against the heavy male voice heard in the light, shut her mouth again.
I am not speechless in theory. The person at the top of the Spirit Master, among the Spirit Masters, mentioned God. She may also be attacked by spirit knights for blasphemy if she opens her mouth.
In addition, even considering the political aspect, Heathrond’s influence on the royal family is several times higher than that of the deputy owner of the fortress in the outskirts, which is hated in many ways.
Yam = Hemilnia felt the annoyance rising from dealing with a blind cultist who couldn’t speak her language, and she forced herself to apologize.
= I’m sorry. She made a mistake Forget what I just said.=
“The eyes of God look down upon the world. When a person dies and eventually ascends to heaven, this phenomenon may be inconvenient, but it will disappear after a while, so please bear with it.”
Hwanin, who subtly showed a fanatical attitude, introduced himself somewhat politely.
“Greetings to the lord of Nirain. I am a Hwanin, a spirit priest who leaves Yeongdo and travels around the world on pilgrimage.”
=You were the Holy Emperor…=
Yam = Hemilnia, who looked towards where only her voice could be heard, let out a deep sigh and asked.
=So, is the reason why you opened this pillar of light because of the assassin?=
“There are things like that, but there are other reasons too. It is because of the confusion.”
I hear the sound of footsteps, and then the voice gradually gets closer. She is around 180cm tall and weighs 80kg? You’re in pretty good shape. Judging by the uniformity of his steps, he has also polished his martial arts quite well.
Yam = Hemilnia, who grasped the body specs of her opponent just by the sound of her steps, also approached the man whose outline was vaguely visible in the light.
The closer you get, the more you can clearly see it.
Yam = Hemilnia opened her mouth to her phantom with her hard face.
= Mixed? The Seungryeong Cheonje was only three weeks ago. She also served as a great celestial priest in Nirain, and that there was no confusion… Shit. Is it true that confusion occurred in 3 weeks?=
It is said that it was self-inflicted, but it is a yard where unscheduled work and tasks are piled up like a mountain due to the spirit brew. Confusion here?
Annoyance surged and the voice came out, but neither Yam-Hemilnia nor Hwan-in cared.
The deputy lord, who had covered his white forehead while making a sick sound, let out a sigh and continued talking with a rational attitude.
= It is a mountain beyond a mountain. Anyway, sorry for breaking down the wall. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of the repairs. Rather, I would like to invite you to the castle as the lord’s representative. There are assassin cases and there are mixed cases. =
“It wouldn’t be polite to refuse even under these circumstances. I will accept it.”
As they speak, the light gradually fades. Now it feels like you are in a bright fog where you can see up to 5m ahead.
Yam-Hemilnia was finally able to see the situation in the living room.
The living room is a mess as if a storm has passed, three corpses are strewn about, three corpses are crushed, and the blood splattered on the ceiling and walls proves that a battle took place.
‘You cut it with overwhelming force. By the way, you tried to assassinate Seongje? No matter how stupid they are, there’s no way they would commit such an outrageous thing… I think there’s an inside story, but I’ll have to talk to Ronson.’
As the light fades, the murmurs in and out of the hotel gradually increase.
Then the flapping of wings was heard, and two men flew into the collapsed wall.
=Lord!=
= Is it Ronson? It came just fine. From now on, I will return to the castle with Seongje, so give the order to clean up and follow me right away.
=Yes, I understand.=
Bang-bang-tang, hearing the sound of urgent knocking on the room door, Baekryeo-gang, who was nearby, tried to approach, but Yam-Hemilnia moved faster and opened the door.
= Are you okay, Sungjae? … ?! Oh my lord!=
= I broke the wall to find something urgent. Talk to Ronson about the cost of repairing the broken wall and claim it for damages to the lord’s castle.=
=Yes,yes!!=
Yam = Hemilnia, who bit the manager with her clothes slightly disheveled as if she jumped out of bed in fright, went straight to the castle of the lord with Hwanin.
= We declared an emergency and proceeded with a 24-hour quasi-war situation. We have also instructed the mercenaries in the territory to prepare for battle, and we are expecting the next 3 hours to complete the preparations.=
Heading to the castle on foot, Yam-Hemilnia began to try to resolve the urgent matter verbally with Ronson.
= Tsk. No wonder this kind of trouble happens during the hunting season. What troops went out of the base?=
=The 4th, 8th, 11th, and 15th divisions led by Sigonia. Seven mercenaries are also with us.=
= If it’s him, you can be relieved, but he doesn’t know, so send him a call to return early. Some of the soldiers were also recruited, and tonight’s work was to spread the spirit of the Holy Festival, so tell the citizens to be at ease, write a proclamation right away and spread it throughout the city.
=Yes.=
“…”
Returning to the castle, Hwanin felt the scent of a normal person as he skillfully instructed the work.
A moderately ideal lord who knows how to compromise in moderation and thinks in moderation of citizens.
If it was the lord’s deputy, was it because her husband died? But the second son looked like he was 20 years old.
‘It must have been like that.’
Hwanin noticed the situation going roughly.
Even if you look at Nionebreath as a whole, it is a situation that I think is quite rare.
Perhaps there is a separate wife from the Flavians, and she must be a ignorant aristocratic girl younger than Yam-Hemilnia. The eldest son of the original wife was still too young to succeed to the position of lord.
However, the lord must have been the first to meet the dead lord.
The status of the lord’s deputy would also be quite enough to marry into the count’s family, but because of the difference in race, she couldn’t become the main wife, and the probability that she would become the second wife after living like a common-law marriage is 99%.
‘Even so, the reason why Yam-Hemilnia took over as the lord’s deputy is because she has excellent military strength, and her personality is quite trustworthy and she handles the job well.’
Normally, it would be a perfect situation for the family line to be torn apart, but Nionebreth values lineage very much.
There will be no way the family will be torn apart even though there is a wife and an eldest son. Moreover, acting manager Yeongju’s own personality also seemed to have no interest in such things.
Yam = The reason why Hemilnia surpassed her main wife and became the lord’s substitute must be because she is on good terms with her original wife and also has excellent strength.
So that’s why it’s such an unstable situation.
After a while, Hwanin arrived at a place that looked more like a real fortress than a castle and had a conversation with the deputy lord in a rather crude drawing room.
=I’m sorry for making you walk when you’re a precious person.=
“Didn’t the noble one also walk on two feet? And I’m not that precious. It’s just an ordinary soul affair.”
= Quit. Ordinary soul priests burst through such pillars of light and were attacked by assassins, but?=
“As Yam Hemilnia is acting as the lord’s representative, it’s no wonder that there are soul corps being attacked by assassins.”
=Keuk. He is too. It means that you and I are different.=
It’s not a mockery, but it’s really funny.
Usually, when you hear something like this, it’s the order of the day to get angry, saying that you insulted the honor of a nobleman.
=But how did you really get attacked by an assassin? Even to me, you don’t seem like a person who can recklessly buy grudges.
“The soul knight I accepted a while ago was the next fang of Karax’s Assassin.”
In such a situation, gathering information about one’s party is just a matter of time. There is no point in hiding the exact reason.
Yam = Hemilnia understood the answer and nodded her head.
= Was there such a thing as a fight between assassins? Ronson, tell the lords of nearby cities what Nassarat’s assassins have done. If possible, tell the capital. =
=As commanded.=
=For the time being, keep the inspection and search and night alert posture as a quasi-war system. The person in charge of the night security who let the assassin in is reprimanded and given a 3-month pay cut… Is a bit like that. Do it with a one-month pay cut. Since the bodies of the assassins were readily handed over to Emperor Seong, they are to be found in the streets.
=Yes.=
The work process is cool. Taking aggro even without saying it makes me feel sorry and I feel like I have to do something about it.
=And speaking of mixtures.=
“I have nothing more to say about him. Honjae must have attained Buddhahood in the spirit wine, and my duty is over with that.”
=Don’t do that. Just tell me who Honjae was attached to. Shouldn’t you know which bad guy created the confusion so that the same thing doesn’t happen in the future?=
As Wufei said, “The second son,” He has an honest and straight-forward personality without pretense.
= I will take care not to spark resentment or sparks against Seongje. Huh?=
“…”
Hwanin pretended to be worried, and he waited for a while before talking. Then, not only Yam-Hemilnia’s expression, but also that of Robson, who was standing upright next to her, was distorted.
= What the fuck… Robson! Call those bastards right now!! Grab all the people involved and throw them away!!=
=Old!=
It’s candid and direct, and it’s even fiery.
Hwanin listened to the voice of Yam = Hemilnia, who let out her anger while enjoying the scent of the black tea her adjutant had brewed.
‘Then indeed… When will the evil faction attack?’
The first plan to turn the aggro of Nassarat’s Assassins around him.
Of course, to spread the news to the lords of Heathrond that they are madmen who want to assassinate the spirits, and even the Holy Emperor.
Why? Even if it’s limited, it’s to make them reduce their activities under external pressure. In order to divert some of the anger towards himself to the nobles.
And the second is to increase that aggro.
Rather than just rumors and news that Nassarat’s assassins are madmen, the fact that neglecting them can cause direct damage to the city should be added so that nobles watch with a sense of crisis or those who have connections with Nassarat are reluctant. Couldn’t you feel it and lose money?
Think about it. Emperor Seongjae was attacked in the city ▶ The attacked Seongjae casts a spirit spell ▶ Evil Faction, who saw that, and the monsters of the northern hate attack and take damage.
If this happens, who will the people and nobles curse at?
Was it the Holy Emperor who opened the Spirit Spell and called in the Evil Faction, or was it the Nassarat Assassin Corps who forced the Holy Emperor to use the Spirit Spell?
I don’t even expect that Nassarat’s assassination squad will be disbanded or greatly reduced in power. Just…
‘It’s enough to earn enough time to find out their residence, stronghold, power map, and internal staff table.’
And spread that information to the Savior’s fangs or other city owners through the white wolves.
If it’s fairly close, you can go in and wipe it out yourself, but even if it’s not, the power will gradually decrease on its own.
Mainly by the hands of people in the same industry.
When Hwanin was warming up in anticipation of future events, that moment came quickly.
=A large army of evil factions has invaded!!=
The very next day, while enjoying lunch with the deputy lord and her children, as well as the former lord’s wife and her children, an urgent message arrived.
Although more than 80% of the lower classes are filled with hobbs and kolbs, etc., 10,000 numbers invaded the canyon city.
