brother (1)
101
A fire that burns everything from the shattered dragon heart engulfs a mountain whole.
Everyone who was watching the battlefield fled hurriedly to avoid the eruption of heat.
A torrent of vast energy could not spread widely and soared into the sky.
Whoops!!
A gust of wind turned the mountains upside down.
Even at a considerable distance from the source of the heat, it was difficult to breathe recklessly.
As time passed and the craze subsided little by little, I turned to the place that was the center of the battle one by one.
Half of the mountain had descended and it was boiling.
All the rangers had similar convictions.
In the midst of that explosion, no one could have survived.
However, after a while, I had to change my mind.
Over a place that has turned into a huge crater.
Someone wearing a black robe appeared again.
Tuck!
Rey stepped onto the ground that had changed like magma.
The place was seething, but the cold air radiating from Rey’s core could not be invaded.
A frozen path is created by following Rey’s steps.
Where Karius met his end, Moros stood upright.
Rey grabbed Moros again.
Beside Moros, something very small flashed red.
Rey picked up the small red shiny stone.
It was the last trace left by Karius, about a fragment of a fragment of a dragon heart.
Perhaps because Karius had disappeared, the power of the devil was no longer felt in this tiny fragment.
Rey pondered for a moment, picked up a small fragment and looked around.
Rangers came and surrounded the mountain that had turned into a crater.
Rey felt her heart beating wildly and clutched her chest.
It was no longer the limit.
The core and circle were still spinning just in case, but it was almost impossible to continue the battle any longer.
Rey secretly laughed at the fact that the only thing she had to believe in now was the one mouthful of lophyllen.
Besieged by the rangers, only six knives were aimed at Lopilen’s neck.
The moment Lopilen clicks her tongue and tries to open her mouth.
One of the rangers hit the player.
“We are unrelated.”
The ranger threw a corpse towards Rey.
*
ghost sword.
It is a relic used by an apostle in the past, called a necromancer or command lord.
Artur used this spirit sword as a medium to grant Karius the blessing of greed and resurrect it.
However, Arthur did not expect Karius to awaken as an apostle at all.
Furthermore, even if it was very short after awakening, it was even more unexpected that a being who would push the Apostle of greed alone would suddenly appear.
The moment Karius began to use all his powers against Rey, Artur immediately ran away.
However, the rangers were not stupid, so they immediately followed and caught Artur.
The rangers were going to use torture to extract information, but Arthur was already dead for unknown reasons at the time he was captured.
The ranger with the position of vice-leader continued, staring at Arthur’s corpse.
“This has nothing to do with us. A demonic suspect was captured, but he committed suicide.”
Annoyance and shame surged over the vice-chief’s face.
The situation of making excuses to the assassin sent by the Empire itself was annoying, and the content of the excuses he was making was shameful because it was shameless and convenient for him to hear.
Ray quietly looked at the vice-captain, and threw out a word.
“Is it possible that he’s the only one?”
“…!”
Ranger, are you going to go further and place the entire Rubyha Kingdom on the charge of demon worship?
At the moment when a cold sweat fell on the vice-chief’s forehead, Rey stowed Moros into a sub-space.
“Be careful. Darkness has begun to descend on the world. Neither kingdoms nor empires are safe from the devil’s play. Always be vigilant. Demons are evil and cruel creatures.”
It was a word that could not be taken lightly.
The rangers’ expressions became serious once again.
As Rey shook her hand roughly, the rangers who had pointed their swords at Lopilen looked at them and reluctantly removed their swords.
If the fact that Karius, who had fled to the kingdom, had accepted the power of the devil, became known, it would certainly work against the kingdom quite a bit.
However, attacking Rei to hide that fact was quite shameless and at the same time very burdensome.
Unless the Empire was crazy, there was no way he would have sent his power to another country alone.
It was clear that there were several more assassins of the Empire who avoided the eyes of the rangers.
Even if he sacrificed most of the rangers, whether he would be able to catch them all and kill them, the vice-captain was skeptical.
Eventually the way was opened.
Rey and Lopilen began to go back the way they came while receiving the gaze of the rangers.
Rangers did not dare to pursue them. At least, that’s how Ray felt.
Rey walked down the road slowly, trying to get her breathing right.
He killed the first prince, but Rei did not know how the kingdom and the heads of the empire would react to this incident.
‘The fact that the exiled 1st prince became a servant of the devil is not something I want to spread to the Empire or the Kingdom…’
Surprisingly, I wondered if it could pass quietly.
What’s more, the empire these days was chaotic enough, even if it wasn’t about the first prince.
Looking at the fact that the forces to retrieve the 1st Prince’s body had not yet moved, there was no doubt that they lacked enough energy to take care of the outside world.
“Hey.”
Brandil’s voice was heard from above the tree.
“How am I going to deal with it?”
“I’m still worried.”
Rey glanced up at the tree.
Unlike other rangers, Brandil knew too much.
In the short term, it was correct that it should be removed unconditionally.
“If you could even engrave the contract, you wouldn’t have to worry about this.”
“That’s unfortunate.”
Brandil wasn’t a wizard, so he couldn’t force something with the contract imprint.
Rey looked at Brandil who had come down from the tree and clicked his tongue briefly.
“Life doesn’t sound like much fun, but why don’t you use the life you were going to throw away anyway for me?”
“Oh, do you believe me?”
“Do I look so naive?”
Ray didn’t trust people that much by default. Not to mention Brandil.
However, even if it took a risk, Brandil’s help was needed.
“Well… if you follow me, I’ll leave a line in history with your name.”
“It’s an attractive proposition.”
The thrilling sight of breaking the devil’s apostle from the front was still shining on Brandil’s cornea.
Even if he could not be loyal to Rey, Brandil had enough willingness to remain as Rey’s assistant.
“If you can save me, we will cooperate as much as possible.”
“I want three things right now.”
Erase the traces of Rey and Lophilen’s coming and going to the Signi Mountains.
When a member of the Empire visits the Signi Mountains in relation to the 1st Prince, spread false information.
“Finally, when there is an irreversible problem with the devil in the kingdom like this one, at least send a secret letter to the Prince of Count Phillips. I’ll let Count Phillips know in advance.”
“Hmm…”
Brandil, who roughly understood Rey’s intentions, answered honestly.
“Because I was once suspected of being a spy of the Empire, I may not be as helpful as you think.
“That’s a problem you have to deal with.”
“Well, I see.”
Brandil took a step back and bowed his head.
“It was an honor to meet you.”
Rey nodded and Brandil disappeared through the woods.
Ray wondered if he had made a mistake, but then shook his head.
I knew it was dangerous, but a helper from the Ranger side was absolutely necessary.
Without Brandil’s help, the kingdom and empire would have left too much to be pursued.
I needed someone to erase the traces, leak information that would disturb the empire whether it was eaten or not, and to warn me when something went wrong in the kingdom.
Rey let out a long sigh, trying to forget her immediate anxiety.
“Whew…”
“Are you okay?”
“It’s hard. My body can’t support me right now.”
Rei recalled the battle with the apostle.
It would have been much easier to oppose if the apostle was a being who dictated power to the devil in real time.
The power transmitted from another dimension can be cut off with a space sword.
However, an apostle was a being who had a part of the power of the devil in its entirety.

No matter how much space swords were, they could not destroy the power of the demon, a transcendent being.
Lopilen took out a potion that she had brought.
It wasn’t a great potion, but once it was poured into the body.
“I should go to church right away…”
Rey, feeling the burning skin, took out an object that was about the size of a fragment of a fragment of a dragon heart.
“I suffered more because of this.”
The power of the devil mixed with the dragon heart, creating a flame that burned all things.
If it wasn’t for some strong man, he wouldn’t have even been able to approach Karius.
Rey didn’t immediately understand why the dragon heart, which she had only seen in Seria’s Artifact, was embedded in Karius’ heart.
However, Lorphyllen looked at the fragments of the fragments of the Dragon Heart and admired it slightly.
“Oh, the rumors are true.”
“What rumors?”
Lopilen looked at her for a moment and opened her mouth again.
“Isn’t that… isn’t that a piece of dragon heart? Rumors arose that the imperial family would implant a dragon heart into the heart to deal with the dragon blood flowing through the body.”
“Aphtel.”
As Rey swung his finger, Aftel created a barrier.
Lopilen distanced herself from the barrier and turned her back.
Ray asked Aftel.
“What are you talking about now?”
[Dragon blood flows through the body of the royal family. Pure hemolysis is more like a lump of mana rather than blood, but there is a limit to what the human body can handle.]
“So you’re going to transplant a dragon heart into your heart?”
[To be precise, it is the dragon heart of the dragon who became the ancestor of the imperial family.]
“When to transplant?”
[It is a confidential matter of the imperial family, but it is identified around the age of 10.]
“Do you know how to transplant?”
[Although it is an imperial secret, the approximate process is known.]
“What if I don’t transplant?”
[You cannot survive until you reach adulthood.]
“Can you guarantee the safety of the royal family even with this?”
Rey held out the fragment of the fragment of the Dragon Heart.
Aftel was silent for a moment.
[It’s ambiguous. If the child’s talent is normal, it will be fine, but if the concentration of dragon blood is expressed deeply, it may be difficult to withstand it.]
Rey grinded his teeth and broke through the barrier.
Lopilen heard the sound of footsteps and turned around, and Rey threw a shard of Dragon Heart’s shard at Lopilen.
“Lophilen, I’ll lend you a bracelet from time to time, so get Aftel’s help and complete the method of implanting a dragon heart into your heart.”
“Uh… I can’t predict the side effects of transplanting a dragon heart into a body other than the royal family…”
“I’m not going to transplant it into my body.”
Lopilen nodded her head for a moment.
Lopilen was always ready to lay the ray.
“Huh…”
When I thought of studying the fragments of Dragon Heart’s fragments, my lips fluttered open.
The hike started again.
After a restless hike, Ray and Lopilen almost reached the Count of Phillips.
Rey and Lopilen, who saw the familiar scenery in the distance, sighed at the same time.
Both of them were already out of stamina.
I looked up at the sky and the sun was shining.

Neither Reina Lopilen nor Molgol are horses, so they were trying to avoid the people and enter the counties, but a small child was standing in the way blocking the mountain road.
Ray smiled warmly.
“Luna, what’s going on here?”
In fact, Reido Luna knew why she was guarding this mountain path.
He is very sensitive to mana.
It was a battle that took place quite far away, but it was a fierce battle in which a very high concentration of mana collided, so Luna also seemed to feel the wave of mana.
Luna came silently and spread her arms out in front of her.
“Will it smell?”
Rey was shy, but grabbed Luna and lifted her up.
Luna’s weight, which would normally be light, felt very heavy.
Luna tapped Rey’s chest.
As expected, it was a punch that he would not have even known he had touched normally, but whenever Luna’s fist pierced his chest, Ray made a ‘billion billion’ sound.
The body was in a state of disrepair.
Luna stopped punching and looked at Rey quietly, then opened her mouth abruptly.
“…I will work hard to improve my stamina.”
“Luna is just in the room too much.”
“I’ll build up a lot of stamina, so next time I’ll take you too. I can help Rey too.”
Rey looked at Luna’s silver eyes.
Luna was still lacking in many areas, but even considering that, it was close to the best power of the Earl of Phillips except for Rey.
‘But why didn’t I take you?’
Ray asked himself.
This was largely due to the judgment that they could not eat the legendary orphans they had chosen at the most to take them to a dangerous battlefield and then blow them away.
And yet, to Rey, Luna was a child to be protected.
Ray wondered again.
‘What kind of path was the future you originally drew?’
and.
‘By guiding you to this point, can you say that I have fulfilled my role in the counties?’
It was a question that could never be answered.
Rey put Luna down and tried to stroke her hair once, then realized that her hands were dirty and tapped her forehead once.
“I’ll think about it next time.”
“…will you take me with you next time?”
“Because I’m thinking about it.”
At the answer she didn’t like at all, Luna raised her cheeks with a rarely genuine grunt.
“If you keep pushing yourself, you won’t grow taller. You become a kid. Ray is a kid.”
“I learned only bad words from Yohana.”
“Aww…”
Ray pulled Luna’s cheek and walked again.
Upon returning to the Earl of Phillips, fresh emotions fill my heart again.
Unboxing Day is coming.
There’s not much time left to reveal what the damn brother’s breed might be.
Rey muttered in a voice so low that no one could hear it.
“It shouldn’t have been that I didn’t turn my brother into a fatherless bastard with my own hands.”
Ray didn’t want the already twisted family affairs to become more twisted .
