Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

Cole disappeared into the darkness that covered all sides.

Not even the sound of footsteps could be heard, and his figure, which was revealed in front of him, was erased in an instant, as if a black curtain had been drawn in front of him.

‘Huh… … .’

Ren let out a laugh as he experienced this himself.

It feels like the body itself is being erased.

This feeling of being put into the air was really foreign to Ren.

It was such a perfect hideaway that Grant didn’t notice at all, even though it was right next to it.

It might be because of the advantageous environment of darkness, but it is impossible to deceive the senses of a master class with poor skills.

hooked!

Col Ross looked for an opening and stabbed Grant in the heart.

The black liquid that had flowed out of his mouth shrank rapidly and began to flow back into his mouth.

“Kuhhh… … . No matter how strong it is, a single blow from a knife will kill it all… … .”

He smiled as if the call had ended.

The reason why I stabbed the heart, not the neck.

It was because the black liquid that had been expelled from his mouth a while ago continued to form in his heart.

Cole didn’t know that it was demonic energy, but he knew at once that the window that sent demonic energy was the heart, and tried to destroy it.

“Keugh… … !”

Grant groaned first.

Veins protruded from the skin of his distorted face, and he clenched his teeth and grabbed the blade that had protruded through his heart.

As he was about to break the blade, Ren hurriedly spoke to Cole.

– Use your spiritual power!

‘Spiritual power?’

– Yes, the power of the soul. Blowing it into the sword will make the spirit stronger.

Ughggugggug!!

The black side of the chohon that bends little by little.

Ignoring the flowing blood as if nothing had happened, Grant finally gave it his strength.

Cole naturally raised his spiritual power at Ren’s words.

‘Oh… … .’

A power that feels similar to the technology you use.

Cole, who was using the power of the soul for the first time, let out a low exclamation and infused spiritual power into the first soul.

Cheak-!

Grand, who was unable to break the first marriage in the end, turns around gnashing his teeth.

Cole clicked his tongue as he looked at the monster in front of him, even as he was internally surprised by the strength of the first spirit and the power of spiritual power.

The qi was driven into the heart and all the stems were cut off so that the strength could not leak out.

At this point, it’s not enough to lose consciousness from the recoil and the rushing pain, and it’s not enough to stand still, even thinking about breaking the sword… … .

‘Is the heart even recovering?’

Even a master level martial artist would not be able to do this.

Originally, there wouldn’t even be a chance to drive the sword into the heart, but now, despite the special circumstances and the guy’s carelessness, he couldn’t kill him even though he succeeded.

‘It must be difficult to create a method beyond this with this guy’s physical abilities.’

It was the final blow.

Because the absolute total amount of energy was insufficient, there was also a case where the lifeline was not cut off more reliably.

‘What are you going to do, you can run away. But I don’t know if I can save that woman.’

– You have to live. please help

Fortunately, his movement stopped while his heart regenerated.

‘Yes, it will take some time to recover.’

Cole slipped out of the darkness, grabbed Francis by the wrist, and threw himself out the window.

“Kyaaak!”

It wasn’t that high, so the two people who rolled down the ground jumped up and ran down the street.

‘It’s getting weaker.’

– I’m going to do it because the distance is far away.

‘Once he recovers, he will chase you again. If you survive, come back to where I am.’

[The code is released.]

As the distance increased, the soul of Kolos escaped and grew farther and farther away.

Ren and Frances ran frantically down the street without looking back.

“Huh… , Huh… … .”

Thanks to Francis’ divinity recovery, I was able to enter my area without stopping.

Fortunately, Grant did not pursue.

“again… , never… … , do not come really.”

Frances, who was breathing hard, muttered with a bewildered expression.

“It will be safe here.”

“Do you think that monster could destroy all of this place?”

“… … That is sympathy.”

If he decides to stir up this place, can we stop him?

No matter how many great people there were in Lake, it seemed that no one could beat the master class, especially the one who used magic.

“Let’s rest.”

The two went into their respective rooms and lay down.

He had been holding on to sleep just in case, but Ren suddenly fell asleep and opened his eyes, so he jumped up and went out of the room.

Fortunately, everyone in the group seemed fine.

After returning to his room, Ren sat on the sofa and immersed himself in contemplation as the sunlight streamed in through the window.

‘Grant… … , I don’t know what his position is, but the power of the black castle is greater than I thought.’

Black Castle is the power of madmen who follow the devil and try to summon the demons.

In the process, they receive the power of demons, but the range of their abilities is very wide and it takes little effort.

A wizard who would not normally have 2-star, knight-level skills could reach 3-star all at once, the sweetness of which is indescribable.

Fortunately, they are operating in the shadows.

It is hard to imagine how many people will be sacrificed to them if they come up to the sun.

‘It was really dangerous this time.’

I don’t know if the ashes of Sire Bundy were enough for master-class martial artists to come, or if there were just as many strong people as that, but I felt one thing.

“I don’t think it’s time to relax.”

Ren got up from the couch and came out of the rake.

Since Kolos had asked him to come find him, he intended to find him now.

‘I’m sure he’s not recovering there yet.’

Grant would never have thought that Col Ross’s grave was there.

He was wearing a mask, so he couldn’t even recognize his face.

Just in case, Ren bought a piece of cloth from the street and wrapped it around the sword.

At least, if he did recognize it, there was a high probability that it was because of the sword.

Unlike at night, Abitrari during the day is quite lively.

It may be because I have already adapted to it differently than when I first came.

Or maybe it’s because I’ve been through that awful, cold, lawless city at night.

‘People are gathered.’

Arriving there after wandering a bit through the alleyway, Ren entered the crowd gathered under a collapsed building.

“Whamma… , The entrance is completely destroyed?”

“Look there, I can see the inside of the building!”

“What are you so upset about? Buildings are collapsing in less than a day or two!”

Those who had been trembling inside the building listening to the tremendous roar of last night gathered one by one.

When those who rule this back alley appeared to control the streets, people began to disperse one by one.

“uh… … .”

A familiar face came into Ren’s field of vision from somewhere.

“You are here.”

He also finds Ren and casually approaches and greets her.

He was the head of a gang in the back alley who took the pickpocket children when he first came to Abitrari.

“Was this your territory?”

“exactly. Do you have business here?”

“Can I come in for a minute?”

“Okay. Did you take out all of our children who went inside?”

“Thank you for doing so. Oh, did you see something like a tomb inside?”

“I don’t know.”

“okay.”

He listened to Ren’s request without questioning or protesting.

Unlike the first boss, whom Ren directly dropped his head on, he was quick-witted and neat in his work.

“What is your name?”

“It’s Crispin.”

At that, Ren looked at his head.

His curly hair was exactly like his name.

“I remember.”

After that, Ren went inside.

The stairs were completely destroyed, so I had to go up another way.

– You’re here.

Kolos appeared without fail and floated in front of Ren.

“Thank you for the night.”

– hehehe, you managed to survive the monster.

“They didn’t follow me because the wounds were so great.”

– Probably not. He left right after you guys left.

“Then why… … ?”

– Probably, he was frightened by me who gave himself a fatal blow at once. kuhh Chasing them down the street at night could be dangerous again.

“ah… … .”

Ren sighed and nodded slowly.

Now that I think about it, Cole seems right.

An assassin capable of being mortally wounded in a surprise attack by a martial artist on the level of Grant.

Following such a person, even though he has not fully recovered, walking on the battlefield in his favor would be unwilling to him.

He would have thought that if he hadn’t been able to find even the remains of Saire Bundy, there would be no need to overdo it in a situation where he had already acquired it.

– Are you looking for my grave?

“yes.”

– Follow me.

The interior of the large building was grotesquely strange.

There were three houses in the building, and above them there was a rough-hewn ceiling.

– I just roughly built a wall in a house that was close to each other and expanded it upwards. Nothing strange here.

Ren nodded and followed him upstairs.

Ceilings made over houses.

And above it was a stairway that went up to the roof of the building.

– Come here.

After passing through the creaky floor that seemed to collapse at any moment, and standing in front of the blocked wall, Cole entered it.

– If you open the drawer next to it and turn the knob to remove it, there should be a place to insert it inside.

Ren followed his words and moved.

Then the blocked wall moved and the inside was revealed.

so-so-

It’s not the sound of wood scraping.

it was iron

– This is where my grave is.

A black coffin was erected there with luxurious decorations.

There was a tombstone next to the coffin, and the phrase ‘Legendary Assassin Kolos rests here’ was written on it.

“It must have cost a lot of money?”

– yes. The whole bottom of this is made of solid iron.

Who would have thought that this shabby building would contain such a piece of iron.

Ren thought why he would do such a thing, but he didn’t ask because he didn’t seem like an ordinary human being.

– What are you doing?

In front of the coffin, Ren performed his own light ceremony and bowed to him.

“I am the gravekeeper. I am praying for your soul to be comforted.”

– Huh, is that why you’re looking at me? Are all gravekeepers like that?

“no.”

– Well, I haven’t seen them either.

A slightly sad smile crept across the old man’s lips.

– In the past, I was proud that no one knew my name. High-ranking aristocrats, as well as all those who fly and long on the continent, died screaming at my sword. Yet I am unknown to anyone.

Kolos was lost in thought as he recalled his past.

– For assassins, that was fame and achievement. But when it came time to die, it all felt futile.

He spent a long time here and regretted the past.

– It is said that animals leave their skins when they die, and people leave their names when they die. That’s right. I couldn’t leave a name even after recording that great achievement. That’s when I met you.

“I… , you mean?”

– okay. Can you make my name known far and wide?

[Sub Quest – Colosse’s Fame]

[Coloss wants to leave his name on the continent. Assassinate an influential person and leave Kolos’ name there.]

[Reward – Ghost Art, Agility +2, Senses +2, Energy +2]

“How can I get the fame Kolos-nim wants?”

– I’ll teach you my skills.

Like he said, he didn’t know anything about the name Koloth, but he had already seen his skills.

The ability to neutralize that monstrous Grant in one shot.

This was a huge surprise.

“But wouldn’t it take too long to learn Cole’s technique?”

– It won’t happen any time soon. But there are shortcuts to everything. open the bottom of my coffin

Looking under the coffin, there was a pouch inside, along with a small hinged door.

– There will be 5 rings. If you eat one, all your energy and pulse will stop at that moment and your breathing will flow slowly.

“Huh… … .”

– With that, I’ll teach you magic. The basis of assassination is to hide you.
