129 – guess
“Are you all right, lord?”
Serena’s voice filled with worry buzzed next to her ear. He nodded his head to mean that it was okay.
A stone clinging precariously to the canyon’s edge could not bear its own weight and fell, along with several nearby stones, into the gaping darkness.
A long time had passed, but there was no sound of the stone hitting the floor. That had two main meanings.
It hasn’t reached the bottom yet, or even if it does, it’s deep enough that you can’t hear the sound from here.
Either way, it didn’t change the fact that this was a canyon that was absurdly deep for humans to measure.
The culprit who caused the great destruction stood quietly next to me.
“Serena, who’s moving?”
“No. Because the Lord made the right decision.”
Rather than making a judgment, I was just wondering what it would be like to do something like this. Serena seemed to believe that I had sharpened my eyesight and poked at their weaknesses.
I’m not sure if I should consider the command to give me a big shot as an insight.
It was a simple guess. If the pieces of flesh are split apart by cuts, all you have to do is melt them away without leaving even the pieces of flesh to split.
Of course, it had the downside of being useless if it couldn’t attack with such destructive power, but it was absurd to say that it lacked firepower with Serena next to it.
Serena obeyed my command faithfully, plowing up the entire wasteland and using a powerful technique that melted even the bedrock, and the result was this desolate landscape.
The vast wasteland was completely transformed into a huge canyon with no visible bottom.
All the trees on the boundary line that separated the desert from the forest were all uprooted, broken, blown away, and destroyed horribly.
This was the land belonging to the jurisdiction of the lord of a certain city. I thought for a while.
It was clear that no matter which nobleman’s territory he belonged to, the area would suffer greatly for a while.
If Serena goes back without explaining to the lord, while the lord and the people of the territory are looking for the culprit who caused this destruction, the lord and the people of the territory tremble with fear while unfolding all kinds of imaginations, and even if they explain it, it has its own problems.
It meant that a person equal to the commander of the 1st knight of the royal family had to deal with something strong enough to launch an attack that would overthrow the surrounding land.
For ordinary people, the mere presence of such a being nearby was enough to inspire fear.
ㅡShake the earth’s axis.
Looking at the bottom of the gorge submerged in complete darkness, he remembered Serena’s emotionless voice and the torrent of mana that was gathering in wind shear in contrast to it.
Regardless of whether or not I got caught up in it, as soon as the order was given to wipe out the area, Serena’s technique was ground-shaking, as its name suggests.
Because when my evaporated eyes recovered, I was stuck in an abyss where even the sunlight couldn’t enter. Without Serena’s help, I would never have been able to climb up on my own.
It wasn’t that I was surprised by the power of technology. All three I know could easily have done the act of creating a gorge like this on bare ground if they were determined and exerted their strength.
If you want, there are three beings who can even destroy a level that requires a new map.
‘Well, what I should be most surprised about is this filthy body that doesn’t look around even after being hit with something like that.’
I groaned inwardly. It was an attack with the power to annihilate even the almost infinitely dividing black blood demons without surviving, but even after being swept away by such an attack, I reproduced it perfectly.
No, I was restored even after being swept away by the dimension that was being cut off, so is it natural for me to be this much?
“What do you think he was, Serena?”
The bastard mentioned here was, of course, a word referring to a black blooded devil.
Serena thought about it for a while, but then shook her head from side to side. Even if I dragged out my worries for a long time, I thought it was meaningless because nothing came to mind.
“I don’t know. I’m sorry, lord. Didn’t you know that such a demon would appear?”
“I knew a little about the demon that was sealed in World Eater. Instead, I’m just like you about the black guy who was created after he bit you off the head. I didn’t expect that the demon could change into something like that in the first place. “It was the first time we met here, what could we have known in that situation? So don’t beat yourself up, Serena. It’s only natural that you don’t know.”
It was not too difficult to find data related to demon summoning, as if summoning a demon was a human romance.
Even in the old books, which would be called old books even by my standards, there were stories about how to summon demons and the story after that, so I said that.
Well, most of them were books that explained the miserable lives of humans who fell for the devil’s pun and ended by giving a lesson that you should never make a contract with the devil.
However, I had never heard of demons being stained with black blood. It wasn’t listed in any of the old books.
In the first place, even their origins were unclear, they were black-blooded monsters.
I knew that their blood was related to black magic or black mana, but I still couldn’t find out why.
It was the same whether black blood made black mana or black mana made black blood. There was no way to know what was the cause and what was the effect.
‘The worst assumption is that the reason the demon suddenly changed and black magic are related.’
If they were intertwined with black magic in some way, and based on it, a kind of conceptual mixture was achieved, then the problem was not an ordinary problem.
It was a shame not to know anything about black magic. The human brain, if nothing else, can never forget a traumatic experience.
Always predict and act with a maximum of negative results and a minimum of positive results, but the worst that I set as a standard was a level of unhappiness that ordinary people dare not imagine.
Even the result of the entire kingdom being ruined and the human beings being annihilated can be said with confidence that it ended well somehow.
“What was your impression of Serena?”
“Yes?”
“The demons you just dealt with.”
Serena blinked her eyes a few times. Perhaps it was such an out of the blue question, Serena didn’t seem to understand the intent of my question properly.
“You’ve killed a lot of black blooded monsters, haven’t you?”
“Yes, lord.”
“The demons I dealt with just now were also of black blood.”
Serena nodded again.
“Was there any difference between them?”
It was a pretty funny question, even if I said it.
Serena didn’t catch them and study them in depth like Charlotte did, just cut, stab, and burst them, asking if there was a difference.
However, it was a question that would be quite useful in judging my situation, and at the same time, it was also a question that came from the firm belief that Serena would remember all of them.
This trouble lasted quite a long time. Due to Serena’s personality, she must be comparing all the black blood monsters she has slain so far with the black blood demon she just faced.
Leaving aside whether or not to be surprised at the brilliance of remembering all of them one by one.
“There wasn’t much difference. Rather, the feeling of cutting seems to be almost perfectly the same, lord.”
“As expected.”
Bad predictions always come true.
With the meaning of hard work, he pressed Serena’s cheek with the palm of his hand. Serena quickly grabbed my wrist and rubbed it against her cheek.
“Then I’ll change the question. How does it compare to before the blood turned black?”
“If you say it’s before the blood changes?”
“When that demon’s blood is still red.”
Serena’s eyes widened slightly as if she realized something.
“I think the texture was a little different, lord.”
“It was a little easier to cut when it was red blood, right?”
“It didn’t matter to me, but it was a level that would make a significant difference to other humans. If you wish, my lord, I will explain a little more specifically.”
“It’s okay. That’s enough. It’s exactly what I expected.”
Putting Serena’s words together, it means that when the demon bleeds red blood, it can be cut normally, but after it changes to black blood, that is not the case.
The conclusion was one. As the black blood began to flow through the demon’s body, the demon’s body itself changed into a black blooded monster.
It’s probably a difference that a normal human wouldn’t even notice.
They would be desperate to survive, and even if they fought and won, it would be impossible for anyone other than a fairly skilled person to notice the difference in the feel of cutting them.
Because it’s Serena, it’s a possible eccentricity, and because it’s Serena, it’s a possible answer.
It was the moment when I was about to let out a deep sigh after confirming that I had become involved with black blood in the end.
Serena’s eyes were dark, and she pulled my hand that had been placed on her cheek, hid it behind her, and stared into empty space.
Before I, dumbfounded, could ask what was going on, mana began to gather at Serena’s glaring spot.
The concentrated mana created a dark blue orb. It was a sphere with a familiar color and a familiar shape.
The dark blue sphere rotated clockwise and gradually increased in size, and soon changed into a thinly spread oval shape.
The center of the sphere that had turned into an ellipse opened little by little.
It was a transition door.
Serena’s reaction on such a day and the transfer door opened without warning. Putting these two facts together, it was obvious who would come out of there.
A familiar appearance could be seen beyond the connected dimension. After confirming the appearance, Serena’s life began to sharpen even more.
He was ready to pounce on that In-young who had created a wind shear at any moment.
A cold voice came from inside the transfer door.
“It hasn’t been long since you’ve been away from me, so are you acting like a beast in heat in that short amount of time?”
A black uniform embroidered with golden patterns.
Long silver hair that goes down to her waist.
“If it’s a beast, it’s right to act like a beast, but you dared to be equal to a human.”
A face full of arrogance.
Skin that went beyond pale to pure white.
“It’s really disgusting.”
It was Charlotte.
