302 Fire Evil Spirit (6)

Puff-!

As soon as he slammed Beck’s shiny crown with all his might with the Demon Crusher.

Fish woo woohoo-!

The skull and the skin of the head explode at the same time, and blood spurts out from every hole.

successful raid.

However, the response was quick, even though the leader’s head was broken, like those who had gone through all the antenatal care.

Tadat.

The archer stepped back and widened the distance.

“You idiot!”

The melee current approached quickly, blocking my left and right in unison.

Not any cockroach.

Whoops-!

While doing [Giant], he struck down the hammer at the shield warrior in front.

Surprisingly, he did not escape.

I just follow the hammer’s trajectory and raise my shield and shout like this.

“Poke it!”

Yeah, I’ll stop it, stab me in the side, right?

Taking a peek, the color of the shield was pretty good.

‘It is Adamantium.’

It seems that you are trusting in expensive shields… … .

There are many better ones out there in the world.

‘Balak.’

The shield and hammer collided, and an explosion sounded.

aa-!

The guy’s shield was slightly dented, but he was fine.

However… … .

Kwajik-!

The one with the shield spewed blood through every hole like a canned drink stabbed with an awl.

That’s because I didn’t use [Swipe] before.

I couldn’t see the effect of the Double Numbers item either.

Increases damage by 500% and reduces soul power consumption by half when using blunt skills.

And 50% bonus to armor penetration when shooting down.

tuk.

The man fell to the floor with his eyes protruding excessively due to the pressure.

So now it’s your next turn.

Whoops.

As he shifted his gaze towards the third target, he stepped back.

I glanced at the archer behind me.

Are you trying to run away?

If so, that’s a little funny.

I have no intention of sending this one.

‘transcendence.’

I quickly wrote the command.

‘Eye of the Storm.’

Active skill acquired from Stormgash.

Koo-!

Soon after, he slammed his foot on the ground, and a vortex began to swirl.

It was different from what Stormgash had written.

It was the effect of [Transcendence].

Whoo woo woo woo-hoo!

[Eye of the Storm] no longer attracts enemies within a 5m radius.

instead.

Designated target within a radius of 20 m.

Only one person pulls and brings them in front of me.

“Evil, ah ah ah ah ah!”

just like this

Kwajik-!

Then this is the third.

However, I was not satisfied and checked the last target, the fleeing archer.

If it got too far, I thought of following through [Leap].

However… … .

pooh.

As for the archer, Amelia approached and finished the situation.

She was a very reasonable woman.

Like it or not, once an accident happened, you must have decided that it would be best to kill everyone and keep your mouth shut.

“Ah, uh, uh, sa, live… … .”

Puff-!

Amelia hit the back of the neck and stunned the little girl Zencia, who was next to the archer, before approaching me.

and said briefly.

“It was foolish.”

“Because you’re from Seongju’s side?”

“No, because of you, I have to kill this little boy now.”

… … Does that happen?

But was he sure he was still alive then?

“Even if it was not today, there were many opportunities to kill. Even if you hadn’t come forward, I thought I would have killed you one day.”

“… … you?”

“Because I am responsible for this.”

Responsibility… … .

Oh, I don’t know.

The head is complicated.

Beep hey hey.

They were all beaten to death, but the name remained the same.

Instead of feeling cool, it’s even more cramped.

“Why did you act so hastily? You said you were a father you’ve never seen before?”

That’s definitely the case.

Even I knew.

Now, even if I beat all these bastards to death like a madman, there’s no reward for him.

In fact, there is no greater hypocrisy than that.

However… … .

“just.”

There was nothing better to express.

“just… I felt like that.”

“… … Right.”

Surprisingly, Amelia didn’t get angry at those words.

Just staring at me without saying a word.

“… … .”

He turned his head to avoid Amelia’s gaze.

Then, the body of Yandel Jarku appeared.

In addition to injuries sustained in battle, corpses that appear to have been treated like toys are everywhere.

wow.

clenched both fists.

I remembered the brief conversation we had inside the rift.

[Did you say Bjorn? Have a baby as soon as possible. It’s sad to leave nothing in the world.]

[…] … is it?]

[Yeah, I didn’t know until I had a baby either.]

Jarku said.

A child who inherits blood is like another me.

It’s a very mysterious thing.

After having children, I had a desire to be more than just becoming an outstanding warrior.

[Fufu, he will surely become a great warrior.]

So I ran away.

[stop!]

[yes?]

[Stop, I’ll just go see….]

It was with that one word that I realized it.

Even if I live under the name of Bjorn Yandel, save many people, and become a hero revered as a hero in the city.

‘I can’t be forgiven.’

Even if that wasn’t what I wanted.

wow.

No matter what anyone says, the truth doesn’t change.

After all, I am a demon.

Even the one and only precious legacy of this barbarian warrior was taken away.

***

“You seem to have calmed down a bit now.”

As I was staring endlessly at the corpse of Yandel Jarku, Amelia looked at me and said:

It wasn’t wrong.

Is time a medicine?

Soon the tinnitus subsided and the tremors stopped.

So now it’s your turn to think about how to fix what you’ve done.

I opened my mouth looking at the fainted Jencia.

“… … Do I have to kill you?”

“Then is there any other way? If this little boy comes back alive, what we did to Seongju will be revealed.”

Ha, Nemil.

Amelia asked, taking a deep breath in her cramped heart.

“Is there any reason not to kill him?”

“yet… … Aren’t you young?”

As I answered, I had a question.

Why am I trying to figure out a way to not kill?

After all, I know the future.

This child leads a hellish life, but when he becomes an adult, he is taken over by an evil spirit.

So, I’d rather die now… … .

‘Nimiral.’

swearing comes out

What am I thinking now?

I’m going to die someday anyway, so even if I kill you now, nothing will change? Rather, the act of killing could prove Auril Gavis wrong?

I shook my head resolutely.

“… … don’t kill let’s find a solution.”

“Not like you.”

“What do you know about me?”

To a subject who did not even know it was an evil spirit.

Some harsh words came out without my knowledge, but I was still admitting it in my heart.

Surely, if it were me, I might have made a different choice.

However… … .

‘At least today.’

I don’t want to do that now.

Wasn’t it a particularly difficult day?

Even if this decision was to conform to fate, it would be difficult for me to bear it any longer.

so that… … .

“It is as you say. I guess I didn’t know you well. I didn’t know he was so weak. If you can’t do it, I will—”

“stop.”

He grabbed Amelia’s wrist.

“… … It would be better to let it go.”

“Didn’t we try to find another way?”

“Way? There is no surer way than this.”

Oh really… … .

So, I’m not saying let’s think about it together for a moment… … .

‘Oh, right, that!’

One way came to mind, and I quickly opened my mouth.

“Yeah, phantom! If you feed him the medicine made by the alchemist of Noark, won’t he be able to erase his memories? Are you saying it’s from the Seongju side? You may have it!”

He spoke with the spirit of a philosopher shouting Eureka, but Amelia only sneered.

“This is the early stage of development of the drug. There’s no way these guys can have that precious thing.”

“But, you don’t need to look for it first!”

“… … All right, if you’re going to give up after seeing it for yourself.”

Saying so, Amelia shook off my hand.

“And I warn you, don’t ever take my arm your way again.”

Well, it’s sensitive.

Soon, Amelia approached the corpses and started rooting.

Okay, this gave me time to think about whether the phantom came out or not—.

‘Oh, wait.’

I realized one mistake later.

It looks like Amelia hasn’t noticed it yet… … .

‘I’ll take care of it.’

Ha, is it because I went too far mentally a while ago?

A mistake I would never have made if I was a normal me.

‘… … If he mentions this later, I’ll try to fix it then.’

I also squatted, unequipped the corpses, and checked their backpacks.

At the same time, I continued to ponder in case the memory-removing pills did not come out of them.

That was the time.

“… … You’re lucky. I hope you have this at this time.”

Pills really came out of the bag.

***

After the pills came out, it was a breeze.

Amelia hurriedly put the pill in Jencia’s mouth, and we waited for her to come to their senses.

and how much has passed

“Ugh, ooh! what, what… … !”

Zencia, her hands and feet tied and her eyepatched, regained consciousness, and we quietly observed her reaction from a distance.

Since it is an early drug, it is judged that there may be defects.

“Mister Beck! Uncle Beck! Do, help!”

Once I found Dunjin Beck, it was clear that my memory had been erased.

So how far did the memory go?

We were able to get the information we wanted through Jencia, who was mentally muttering to herself.

“I don’t think you can remember from the moment you entered the crystal cave. Because it was in the early days, it seems that the performance was excessive compared to the mass-produced ones.”

Soon, Amelia went to Jencia, who was struggling, to stun her again, and even gave her a sleeping pill to prevent her from waking up on the way.

So now this problem is over.

“The labyrinth will be closed soon, so we just need to be together for a few hours.”

After that, we moved and passed the time with the sleeping Jencia.

Hey, can’t we just leave him alone in the labyrinth?

If the labyrinth is closed after doing this, Zencia will also be taken over by the forces of the castle lord.

They’ll try to dig up information about what happened, but they won’t remember anything.

“… … Me, Amelia. I was sorry earlier.”

Apologizing while waiting, but Amelia just ignored it.

How long had passed in such an awkward silence?

aa-!

The labyrinth was closed with white light emitting from all directions.

However, as usual, the warm sunlight did not greet us or the cool air wrapped around us comfortably.

Only the dull underground city greets us.

“I’m here.”

Dimensional Square located in the western part of Yeongjuseong.

From here on, it is different from Lafdonia.

On the ground, at the end of the exploration, you had to pass the checkpoint to exchange Manastones, but the exchange here is personal freedom.

“Come on, let’s go get a drink!”

“What, isn’t he a kid from the Beck gang over there? Why are you doing that alone? Could the other guys have been inside?”

“This is good news for iron molars. I was still grinding my teeth on that Beck.”

The explorers who appeared in the square were scattered according to their respective purposes, and the surroundings quickly became quiet. Jencia, who had fallen in the distance, was also found by the group of Seongju’s side and transported somewhere.

“We’re moving too.”

“Oh yeah… … .”

We also slowly left the square and headed towards one place.

[Top of Melta]

The only top of Noark, and the most favored place for the underground predators to dispose of their equipment.

Unlike the manastone currency exchange where the lines are quite short, the branch at the top of Melta was crowded with people. Well, this is money itself, so there is no need to change it.

At first, I heard that the magic stone currency exchange shop over there does not exchange money for money, but instead exchanges them for food or desired items.

“Hmm, Iron Mask and Emily. Are the most famous people here recently?”

When it was our turn, we took out all the equipment we had in storage.

Oh, by the way, Beck’s equipment was removed.

‘Cause once we get this out, we’ll find out we killed them.

“… … You mean you got all of this in this expedition?”

Anyway, the staff’s eyes gradually became blurry as they began to rob their backpacks in earnest.

It’s a Noark infested with looters, but it seems it’s not uncommon to come out with this much robbery.

“It will take some time. Can you wait?”

Afterwards, the employee called a few more appraisers from the upper division and started the settlement together.

And after about 10 minutes, the appraiser came out.

21 rank 4 mana stones.

1 level 5 manastone.

7 rank 7 mana stones.

Huh, I don’t feel well when I say this.

“How much is the Lafdonia currency exchange rate?”

“Ah, it’s your first time coming to Noark, so you might not be familiar with it. Based on the exchange rate last month, the total is 21.57 million stones.”

I heard from Amelia, but these are really thieves bastards.

No matter how low-rise equipment it is, even if you don’t put subspaces or expandable backpacks on the shelf.

“If sold on the ground, 70 million stones would be a lot more than that.”

“Yes, it would be if it were on the ground.”

Hey, can you see the thick tone?

“done. Emily, just take this and leave.”

“You mean you don’t want to sell?”

“Yeah, I don’t want to pass it on to such an outrageous price.”

“If so.”

Soon after, we packed up our gear and left.

The staff was sorry and didn’t even catch us.

In the end, they think they have no choice but to sell to them.

“Then let’s go home.”

From the upper branch, we moved to the inn where we were tying up. Then, after washing their bodies in order, they sat facing each other and talked.

“Once we stopped at the top and showed you the looted equipment, even if you’re not a Beck, Seongju will be interested.”

That’s why we stopped at the top with equipment we didn’t intend to sell.

In fact, the owner of the top is no different than the lord of the castle.

The numerous evidence of looting we have shown, such as blood-stained equipment and IDs, will reach the ears of the lord.

“Then we can just wait until then.”

“Yeah, for now.”

After discussing a few more topics, I changed into casual clothes and lay down on the bed.

“Once we’re done talking, I’ll go to bed first. I am tired.”

Of course, sleep did not come easily.

So it was a time of constant tossing and turning.

“Are you sleeping?”

Suddenly, Amelia spoke to me.

“I don’t sleep. why?”

“Suddenly I have a question.”

I’m curious… … .

There was something to point out.

Looking back, I must have thought about that ‘mistake’ earlier.

“Try it.”

“How did you find out about Amern’s blessing?”

Oh, the name of the drug was this.

Although it was the first information I knew, I did not express it and answered naturally.

“Oh, that? Didn’t you tell me to eat at the inn last time?”

“But I didn’t say it was made by an alchemist in Noark.”

“I was curious what it was, so I grabbed another Noark explorer and asked him before I killed him!”

“Hmm, that’s right. Yeah, that’s right… … .”

No, what is that conversation?

I’m just worried-.

“Barbarian, the name of the group is Lethe’s Blessing. It’s not like Amern’s blessing.”

huh?

“I guess my prediction was right.”

Soon, a shadow of a person fell on the bed I was lying on.

As I slowly turned my gaze, I saw Amelia standing in front of me and looking down at me.

“You didn’t lose your memory back then.”

was an outsider.

Even if you look at it, from the moment I made a mistake, even though I was aware of it, I pretended not to know until I was vigilant… … .

What kind of person is so wicked?

I sighed and accepted it coolly.

“Yeah, for some reason, I was the only one who was fine.”

What should I do if the drug is bad?

So what do you do?

At that time, I hid it because I was afraid that if I found out I had a memory, I would come to assassinate, but now I don’t have to, right?

Noark’s existence was also exposed to the city.

‘Okay, now what do I have to hide?’

Come to think of it, it wasn’t a drowsy thing.

So, after raising her upper body, she looked at Amelia confidently as if she had something to say.

But, what else is this?

“… … .”

your eyes are weird

Do I have to feel a little chilly somewhere?

“… … Why are you looking at me like that?”

Amelia answered my question coldly.

“Bjorn Jandel, the only thing that won’t lose your memory from that drug is a demon.”

Ah, uh, um… … .

‘Nimiral.’

Again, I didn’t know this.
