166 – For the end of bad luck
“Haaaaa… ”
“Hey, no matter what, don’t stretch too much.”
A witch who shouts while watching her yawning companions.
To this, the man replied in a nonchalant manner.
“What about it? No one would come here anyway. After a while, won’t the whole world belong to our Nation of Darkness?”
“Anyway, aren’t you too relieved? In a situation where the imperial army keeps coming, you don’t know when or how the enemies will pop out.”
“Ah, even if they go, they will go to Lehiero, the capital city where the ceremony is held, or should they come to Innsmouth, the village of this Byunbyeong? Because there is nothing to worry about.”
“Um… that’s but… ”
“Honestly, the reason we are here is because Shud-nim was demoted. 4 He is barely holding the post, but the reason why he was sent here at a time like this is obvious, isn’t it? Just be quiet and watch over the house and eat the rice cakes they give you.”
“… Whoa… ”
A witch who ends up being speechless at the words of a colleague who accurately bombards the facts.
To be honest, as much as she was feeling quite annoyed about the current situation, she just sighed in frustration.
By the way.
“Coke! Coke!”
“yes? why so suddenly… ! Coke! Coke!”
The next moment, the witches begin to suffer from a sudden cough.
As a result, they felt something strange and started to look around.
“what? what kind of dust… ”
“Fog? Ah.. no, I think it’s a little different from that… ”
Ominous smoke suddenly fills the field of vision.
Not a natural phenomenon, but something artificial, they felt uneasy in many ways and began to get caught up in tension unlike before.
at that time..
“Exactly!”
-Quaguaguagwang!!!”
“Quaaaaagh!!”
In the next moment, a tremendous explosion occurred suddenly.
In this situation that happened without much to deal with, the witches who were present died or were injured in an instant.
And, among the flames of the explosion that occurred, the demons dressed in golden armor.
At the same time as he appeared, the forces of the Nation of Darkness guarding Innsmouth began to flock to her location.
“It’s an intruder! Stop them!”
“Bring Shud-sama right now and wipe out all those who have set foot here fearlessly!”
Soldiers hurriedly rushing in to fill the void created by the raid.
watching them,
A member of the 4 Heavenly Kings of the Demon Kingdom, who stands out so much because of his golden armor.
Nyadan Josiah said as he corrected his sword with a calm voice.
“You guys must die. Due to the nature of the mission, we cannot keep witnesses alive.”
With those words, Nyadan started emitting smoke created with magical powers once again.
Unlike the earlier intentional scattering to cover the view, fine particles invisible to others began to fill the area.
“I’ll get rid of you guys.”
and..
-Quaguaguagwang!!!
Another great explosion occurred,
The power of the dust explosion generated between the fine particles annihilated most of the soldiers rushing towards Nyadan, and those who followed were forced to stop in fear.
“this… what is this… ”
“What the hell… what the hell is going on? Where did such a monster suddenly… ”
The defense forces hesitated at the sudden attack of the unexpected strongman.
looking at them,
Nyadan shouted in a cold voice while holding a sword.
“The road has been cleared. It works according to plan”
“Yes, Nyadan!”
Nyadan started the offensive by leading his direct subordinates who were waiting behind him.
Although the number was small, the enemies could not easily approach this side due to the unknown attack that Nyadan had shown earlier.
In addition, Nyadan also started not showing an active appearance by adjusting the level to some extent after the splendid early attack that drew aggro in all directions.
And, from the position of leading this confrontation situation.
A quiet, cold smile began to form on Nyadan’s lips.
‘Now then… I turned my gaze as much as I could. They’ll take care of the rest, right?’

“damn!”
Shud rushed out of the place where the sealing stone was.
Although confused for a moment by the sudden change of circumstances, she soon came to the conclusion that the situation was not entirely impossible.
‘Right now, the Empire’s army has invaded the Nation of Darkness, so there’s nothing strange about that bitch Aileen, who is the High Priestess, walking around with a detached unit.’
Although it was a bit strange that the place was Innsmouth, a city on the periphery like this, it could have been an accidental invasion after wandering around, or else he might have heard something about the Sealing Stone.
‘Either way, it’s a clear fact that they’ve been breaking in here. then…’
With such thoughts in mind, Shud left the temple and looked down.
There, overlooking the whole of Innsmouth, she was seeing the scene of the enemy raid that had already begun.
“Is it over there? That bitch over there… You mean Eileen?”
A place that can be reached in just a few minutes if you fly from this spot.
The fact that the guy she had been aiming for her neck for all along existed where there was smoke and flames from the aftermath of the explosion, Shude couldn’t help but feel a deep conflict for a moment.
‘Going to catch him like this… No, no matter how much it is, getting out of here as a person in charge… ‘
Shud organizes his future actions while feeling such personal greed.
However, apart from these thoughts, she did not have any thoughts of losing herself at this place.
Although the scale is not that big, the defending troops guarding this place were never at an easy level.
Above all, Shud’s combat power could be said to be the strongest in the warrior party, except for that hero Eren.
Even if Eileen and the like came in now, she wouldn’t be able to do anything.
‘Nevertheless, the fact that I came here must mean that that bitch doesn’t know I’m here. indeed… I didn’t know you’d be lucky in this way?’
With that thought in mind, Shud made up his mind to take this opportunity to clear everything up, and started releasing his mana fiercely.
“Okay, come and see! I will make this spot the grave of yours!”
-“okay? It’s a coincidence, I was thinking that too.” –
“!?”
The next moment, a terrifying voice rang in her ears.
A distorted voice that was familiar to Shudd but sounded distinctly different,
Feeling a chill in one part of her heart, she slowly turned around.
next,
A being that she began to see in her eyes.
The moment he first recognized it, Shud could not help but automatically feel doubt and confusion about the scene in front of him.
A being with the body of a skeleton, wearing a sword and a robe, radiating unusual magical power.
rich.
Shud opened his mouth with a trembling voice, feeling deep bewilderment at the voice that came from the mouth of that known as the distorted wizard of the Demon Kingdom.
“What… what… you… You… what the hell are you… What is it?”
– “Keukkeuk… I’m really sorry about this… Could it be that you have already forgotten my face?”
Richie begins to slowly approach her with a ghastly laugh.
Seeing her like this, Shude instinctively had no choice but to admit it.
A fleshless undead mage coming towards her.
That this lich was the bitch she had longed to find and get rid of.
The fact that it was Eileen.
“uh… how… What happened? Aileen, why are you like that… such a face… ”
-“Well? How did it happen? It doesn’t really matter.”
With those words, in front of Shud’s eyes, the lich radiates an incomparable amount of magical power… Eileen.
She started to tremble automatically at the tremendous power that made even Shud, one of the strongest witches, feel chills down her spine.
-“The important thing is that even with this body, I can take revenge on you like this! The bitch who stole Torare from me! Now that it’s like this, I can’t be unhappy alone! four years… Now that Torare has become like this, everyone should be like a dog like me!”-
Richie Aileen starts to charge towards Shud, giving off heartfelt hatred and anger filled with feelings of desperation.
Even in a state of shock, Shude hurriedly used his magic to defend against the attack.
-Pajijijik!!!
Shud’s barrier that blocks Eileen’s cane, which is engulfed in blue flames.
At that moment, Shude felt once again that the two years in front of him possessed powers on a different level than before.
‘Twice as before… No, maybe more… They say that when you become a lich, your power becomes incredibly strong, and that was true.’
Originally, Eileen was an opponent that could be defeated with some margin, but now Eileen has become a formidable enemy whose odds of victory cannot be guaranteed.
In response, Shud concentrated on defending for the time being, and at the same time quickly started thinking about the next move.
‘A fight in which victory cannot be guaranteed is not my taste. If so, here it is… ‘
