110. Dark Spirit King VS Ethan (1)
East Van.
Istvan was a peaceful city.
It wasn’t like Lynchester, the western part of the empire, that was in contact with the Devil’s Land, nor was it dominated by darkness like North Van in the north.
To the east of Istvan there were barbaric grasslands and wastelands, but barbarian tribes hadn’t invaded the empire since the agreement.
Even if barbarians invaded, Lognesban would act as a breakwater.
“It’s kind of bleak today.”
The Dark Elf Janet muttered as she combed Hessia’s hair. Hessia only nodded once without saying a word.
Hesia, a girl with navy blue hair, looked out the window.
A blue autumn night fell over the city. It was a peaceful autumn scenery, but the dragon’s intuition told them.
It’s kind of ominous today.
“There you are. Janet! When is Ethan coming?”
“My lord said he would be back by Sunday.”
Ethan, who left early on Saturday, has not returned yet. It was already Sunday night. Sunday was also a few hours away.
“Um… .”
It was Ethan who promised to do what he wanted to eat every weekend. Janet and Lien both knew how to make chicken, but they were worse than Ethan’s.
But more than that.
“Ooh, I want to see you… .”
Hesia missed Edan.
During the weekdays, Ethan was busy attending the academy, and only on the weekends could Hesiah hang out with Ethan.
A small hand touched the doll.
It was a doll that Tia gave me as a gift. After giving the gift that day, Tia immediately rose to a high position in the ‘Like Ranking’ for Hessia along with Sepia and Tesha.
Currently, Hesia’s favorite ranking was as follows.
Ethan ＞ Rien ＞ Chicken ＞ Sepia = Tesha = Tia
After that, Janet was closely chasing the three. There was a change from the previous ranking of Tia ＞ Ariane.
It was because Janet had been taking care of Hessia all along. Combing and washing hair was due to Ethan’s judgment that Janet, a woman, would be better.
smart.
At the sound of a knock, Hessia turned her gaze to the front door. It wasn’t Ethan. If it was Ethan, he would have opened the door and entered.
I had an ominous feeling.
Was there someone who would come to visit on Sunday night? Hessia pondered and shook her head. Soon after, the front door slammed out with a loud sound.

Janet drew her dagger and lowered her stance.
Beyond the front door, I could see pitch-black darkness. It was a strange sight. The darkness seemed to stretch endlessly.
A man walked out of the darkness. It was canon.
“Was this greeting too harsh?”
Canon was smiling. Hessia looked up at Kanion from her seated position.
“Dark elves and children… ?”
He wondered why the Dark Elves were here. Dark elves were a rarer race than elves.
“You pretended to be classy, but you were eating an elf and a dark elf in pairs.”
“What are you eating? ?”
Hessia asked innocently. At that question, the corner of Kanion’s mouth bizarrely went up.
“Honey, who are you? Where is Ethan?”
“Don’t answer me.”

Janet answered Kanion’s question. She hurriedly hid Hessia behind her back.
“Did you ask what you eat? I will tell you what it is soon.”
Wherever Edan was, he could use them as bait.
Something sharp flew at Janet. It was darkness with physical power.
At the same time, Janet lowered herself and threw the dagger. Four daggers flew at Kanion like an arrow.
However, the dagger did not reach the opponent.
It was because the darkness enveloped Kanion and scattered all the daggers. The daggers scattered in different directions fell to the floor with a metallic sound.
Whoo-!
The darkness brushed through Janet’s gray hair and hit the wall. The walls were punctured with white holes, as if they had been hit by a bomb.
Being hit with that level of physical force would not end with broken bones.
“Hessiah, run away.”
As if having fun, Kanion stared at Janet. When I flicked my finger, the darkness that split into two came in, aiming for Hessia and Janet respectively.

Janet kicked the ground and hugged Hessia. I ran straight to the window.
It was difficult to face opponents while protecting Hessia in a room like this.
The window breaks and Janet wraps herself around Hessia.
With a narrow margin, the darkness followed Janet’s trajectory.
widely!

Janet hugged Hessia and landed on the floor. Hessia looked up at Janet with anxious eyes.
“Ooh, Janet… . it’s okay?”
“I am fine.”

Janet quickly covered her right shoulder. The right arm was limp, as if a tendon had been cut.
There was a deep wound above the trapezius muscle. If I was a little late, my right arm would have been cut off.
But not a drop of blood flowed from the wound. Because Janet was an undead revived by magic.
“Leen. are you listening? Hessia please.”
“Janeet… .”
“Run away. Hessia.”

Janet lowered her stance to meet Hessia’s eye level.
Already at the window, Kanion was looking down at the two. She protects Hesia even at the cost of herself.
That was Janet’s job.
“Go straight to the guards.”
“No way, Janet. no.”
Even as a child, Hessia instinctively realized the breakup. A small hand grabbed Janet’s collar. Janet smiled once at Hesia.
Hessia only shook her head when she tried to force them apart.
“no… . no.”
“Leen, please.”
Lien, who came out of the shadows, wrapped around Hesia. Hessia, attracted by brute force, stretched out her hand toward Janet.
“Janeee… !”
However, Hessia’s pathetically outstretched hand did not reach Janet.

Janet held the dagger in reverse with her left hand. It was damaged to such an extent that it was impossible to use the right hand in battle.
“Really, I’m in tears.”
Kanion, who had come down to the ground, even clapped his hands. was obviously laughing.
“But do you think I came without thinking?”
Only then did Janet notice that something was strange. I didn’t see a single person on the street.
No matter how late it is on a Sunday night, this is East Barn. It was certainly strange not to have a cat, let alone a person.
“Because when you become the King of Spirits, you can open your own barrier.”

Janet hurriedly turned her head in the direction where Hessia had disappeared. As he headed towards the guards, Rien, who had thought he had gotten farther away, was blocked by a transparent barrier and stood still.
‘When the magic takes place… . After jumping out the window?’
Otherwise, Hessia, who is sensitive to magic, could not have noticed.
“Where are you looking?”
Darkness flew towards Janet. Janet rolled over and escaped the darkness. Darkness with physical force crushed the ground.
“Where is Ethan?”
“… … ”
“Well, okay. Let’s see if you can be silent with your limbs cut off.”
Again darkness crossed the air. Janet dodged the attacks one after another like a nimble cat.
I dodged, parried the attack with my dagger, and rolled again.
However, there was a limit to avoiding it. It was Kanion who played with Janet from the beginning.
Knock!
Darkness cut off Janet’s right arm.
“… … !”
His right arm fell to the floor with a thud. Janet bit her teeth and glared at Kanion.
Sensing something strange, Kanion tilted his head.

Janet’s arm was cut off, but she didn’t even groan, let alone scream. Not a single drop of blood was shed there.
“iced coffee… , Are you undead?”
“… … ”
“Somehow, they said that a Chaos Knight would come out of the child’s shadow.”
Kanion stroked his chin with his grotesque right arm.
“this this. I have no interest in f*cking corpses. It’s a pity, but I have no choice but to kill him.”

Janet staggered to her feet.
No matter how undead they were, they couldn’t be revived if they were torn to shreds.
Besides, if it was a hostage, Hessia was already there.
Again the darkness flew towards Janet. But the darkness did not reach Janet.
Caan-!
The halberd loaded with red magic pierced the darkness.
“Leen… !”
Suddenly, the guards of Hesia stood by Janet’s side. They were the Black Brotherhood.
Hesiah watched Rien and them with anxious eyes from a few steps back.
“Are they all undead? It’s in good shape for an undead. I thought of zombies or ghouls that were all rotten.”
Canon shrugged. Anyway, whether the undead were in good or bad condition was of no interest to him.
‘Cause I’ll tear it all apart
Lien, who fixed the halberd, released her magic. Anyway, this place was inside the barrier.
Even if he fought here, he wouldn’t be exposed.
‘Red magic power?’
At first, I thought it was Magi, but it was definitely magical power. It was strange that most of those who could handle magical powers were blue.
Red magic power and darkness collided once. Lien was pushed back, dragging the ground with the recoil.
The Assassins pounced on Rien in a pincer attack. Each of them released blue magic.
“Everyone knows how to release magic? It’s fun.”
The darkness behind Kanion split into several branches. The cracked darkness flew like a whip.
“But you have to do it.”
Dozens of darkness confronted the Assassins. While the ribbon-like darkness was dealing with the Assassins, Kanion walked.
Darkness, like living beings, carried out checks, defenses, and attacks.
“Chaos Knight. I will deal with you specially.”
The blade came out of Kanion’s scabbard. He also saw Chaos Knight, known as the evolution of Death Knight, for the first time.
It was a good opponent to test his strength.
Rien faced him and took a fighting stance.
Kanion lightly released his mana. He was the one who summoned the middle-level and high-level spirits at the same time. That’s how much magic was overflowing.
The halberd and the sword collided.
Rien didn’t compete with the opponent, but let the attack flow and hit the spear.
However, the opponent lightly blocked the spear with his left hand. Rien immediately pushed the opponent away with his shoulder before the spearhead was caught.
The opponent turned to the side and slashed Lien’s waist. Rien swung her spear to block the blade.
Sparks flew with a metallic sound.
A few battles followed. Neither Lien nor Kanion backed down easily. Kanion leaped backwards and rubbed the nape of his neck.
“Hey, the longer you wait, the more disadvantageous you are.”
It was as it was said. The black stems stretched out by the Dark Spirit King dealt with the Assassins, but a mere Assassin could not defeat the Spirit King.

Just then, an assassin fell out.
The assassin hit the wall. Immediately, the darkness flew like a blunt weapon and crushed the assassin.
Like a crushed worm, the assassin was crushed.
As one fell, the undead army slowly collapsed.
“Will you hold out until the Spirit King joins me?”

Janet clenched her teeth and wrapped her free arm around Hessia. In the current situation, interfering with Rien would only hinder her.
Hessia was treating Janet’s right arm. As a hatchling, he instinctively knew how to use magic related to necromancy.
“Or how about attacking that girl?”
It was a reference to Hesiah. As soon as the words were finished, Kanion ran toward Hessia.
Liendo ran in the same direction as Kanion and swung a halberd. The sword and halberd intertwined again.
“But I’m not the only one dealing with the Spirit King.”
A blue sphere floated in the air. It was a low-level water spirit.
An ice pick flew at Hessia. Rien retracted her halberd and threw herself. The ice pick couldn’t penetrate Rien’s gauntlet.
But that was a trap in the first place.
“You can’t lose sight of it during battle.”
Something ran through Lien’s leg. Rien tried to stand up. But I couldn’t straighten my posture. One ankle was amputated.
Rien forced her body, which was about to collapse, to stand up with a halberd.
“It is over. Chaos Knight.”
The magical blade drew a silver trajectory several times. Lien lost her wrist, shoulder, and leg in turn.
Kanion burst into laughter as he watched the pieces grow one by one.
“Keu, keuh, keuh, hahahahaha—”
It was fun. It was so much fun to hack down a collapsing opponent. Up until now, pretending to be nice and pretending to be hypocritical was to the point of being unfair.
“Leen! Rie-en—!”
Hesia looked at Lien and held back her tears.
Rien, who had lost all his limbs and had only his armor left, lay on the floor. Kanion raised his sword to Rien’s throat.
I was just about to stab myself in the neck.
However, the sword did not go straight through Rien.
“No! no! Still, it’s too early to die. Because that woman will do the same. watch.”
Kanion dropped his sword and approached Janet. Hesia glared at the approaching canon, wiping away tears with her sleeve.
“… don’t die.”
I couldn’t hear my voice because I was sobbing. Because of that, Kanion misunderstood the word as ‘I don’t want to die’.
“The ones to kill right now are the dark elf and that black knight. You are a hostage.”
“Do not die. Riendo and Janet too… .”
“My dear, even the undead die.”
This stupid kid didn’t seem to know that he could kill even the undead.
“Because I’m going to scold you.”
“What… ?”
At that moment, deep blue magic power radiated from Hessia. Magic power was in the form of a fist.
All magic is the embodiment of images.
The desire to defeat that shrewd opponent was manifested in the form of a fist.
A straight fist struck Kanion. It was a heavy one. Kanion, who had been blown away, rolled on the floor several times.
