Chapter 204
The parade burned to death in an instant.
As if proving that he was burned to death in the superheated hell, his blackened body made a rustling sound and began to scatter ashes.
It was like watching a burning corpse in a crematorium.
“Whoa.”
The battle is over.
There are still three non-ranked endangered species that haven’t been dealt with, but you shouldn’t really care about that.
The monsters who lost their commander named Parade and returned to their original form will not aim at us.
You’ll be busy fighting each other while keeping your senses.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh-!
Kiyiyiying-!
just as expected.
From a distance of about 400 meters away, there was a physical impact sound of something huge colliding, and a clear crashing sound as mana collided.
It seems that Bucephalus and Velvet Tiger, called by the parade, started fighting each other.
“Whoa. I thought you were going to die.”
At that time, Captain Charles sat down next to me.
No matter how hard it was, it must have been difficult to fight against three non-ranked disaster species, and everything from clothes to hair is a mess.
“You worked hard.”
“hardship… … did cancer. I didn’t.”
Captain Charles tore off the torn off part of his right sleeve.
The bare skin was covered with scars.
Just looking at it, it doesn’t look light.
“Ouch. Would you like me to get your backpack out of your robe?”
“yes.”
The backpack the captain entrusted to me contains first-aid kits in case of an emergency.
I quickly put on my A.S and took out Captain Charles’s backpack from within.
Captain Charles took out ointment and bandages from the back of his backpack.
Then, after spreading the ointment roughly on the arm, he bandaged it.
Wrapping a bandage on one arm isn’t easy. very skillful
Is a mercenary a mercenary?
“I’m sorry. I can’t reach my hands behind me. Can you apply some?”
Shortly after completing first aid on his right hand, Captain Charles turned to me.
She brushed her hair to the side, revealing three deep lines of fingernail marks.
“Ah~ that’s embarrassing. I asked you to give it up Because I was taken aback by this. haha.”
Captain Charles smiled shyly.
“… … sorry.”
I was sorry for nothing.
This severe wound was caused because I forced myself to ask for a bucket.
Thinking that way, my regret doubled.
“it’s okay. You ordered the operation, but I accepted it. It’s not your responsibility.”
Captain Charles just turned his head slightly, looked at me and smiled.
“Anyway, apply some ointment quickly. I’m going to sleep like this.”
“Ah yes. sorry.”
After I received a first aid kit, including a bottle of ointment and a bandage, from Captain Charles.
started treating wounds.
I used wind magic to cut off all the clothes covering my back.
I made distilled water with water attribute magic and washed the wound once.
“… … Aren’t you sick?”
With a wound like this, just touching the water would cause terrible pain.
Captain Charles looked very calm. He doesn’t scream, and his expression doesn’t change.
“It hurts. But, what I’m used to this. I’ve suffered many worse wounds.”
It was patient.
“The mercenary job is… … It was harder than I thought.”
“ok. Well, what can I say with my mouth. It’s a lot of hard work. There were many times when I wanted to hit him too.”
The ointment was spread over the cleaned wound.
Since it is an ointment that also has a disinfecting effect, it was not disinfected separately.
“Our Ha-yul. Are your hands dirty? It’s very exciting.”
“That would be thrilling. You will be sick.”
“no. out of pain. Should I say something kind? Your hands are so soft Do you like it.”
“How am I supposed to respond to that?”
It was a difficult word to answer.
Captain Charles giggled.
“just. It’s very different from our mercenaries. I’m just stating my impressions. You don’t have to answer.”
Captain Charles held his hair to the side and turned his head to look at me again.
A side face stained with blood and dust.
Even that was quite attractive.
“It’s done.”
After attaching the large non-woven fabric for the last time.
All treatments are over.
“Are you injured anywhere else?”
“There are a lot of injuries. To my shame, I made a lot of mistakes.”
Captain Charles turned to me again.
All torn clothes.
The inside of the clothes will be full of scars.
“why? Will you treat me somewhere else?”
The captain smiled smirkingly and pointed at his torn thigh.
That area must have been the second most damaged area after the two previously treated areas.
“… … It would be more efficient for Captain Charles to do it alone. I am immature in treatment.”
I averted my gaze.
“Oops. Because he has a really cute side. only with thighs Kuk-kuk.”
As if my reaction was cute enough, Captain Charles lightly pinched my left cheek and smiled.
“If you look at this side of him, he’s definitely an 18-year-old kid again. Because it’s amazing… … .”
Captain Charles turned his gaze to the still-burning body of the parade.
“Killing people is nothing but casual.”
Captain Charles came out again and our eyes met. It looked like he was trying to see something through my eyes.
Perhaps, you want to know how I feel about killing people.
“Not killing the right person is the same as killing my friends and family in the future.”
I answered with a calm expression.
“This is something my father has emphasized over and over again. So he killed. If I send Parade alive, the damage will not stop with my family and friends.”
“okay… … . That’s right. good job.”
Captain Charles smiled and put his hand on my head.
“But, did you hear that often?”
“yes.”
“How old were you when you first heard of it?”
“I think it was when I was 13.”
Captain Charles’ brow furrowed.
“The real Shin In-hyeok, that man… … Is that what you say to your child… … .”
He seems to be angry with his father for advising a 13-year-old not to kill people.
“The other day, didn’t you show a 13-year-old the report of the black magic tower’s human experiment… … . Because it’s not really normal.”
“… … .”
couldn’t resist
Objectively, my father wasn’t a person with normal values.
“Eh. Anyway, it was a lot of trouble. Whatever it was, you made a great achievement.”
Captain Charles patted my back a couple of times.
It was a knock to praise my credit for killing the parade.
“Then let’s get out of here.”
At the same time that Captain Charles had said that, an explosive sound rang out from behind again.
It sounds much closer than before.
Bucephalos and Velvet Tiger seem to be getting closer this way.
He must have been accidentally approaching this way during the battle, but no matter what, this is a dangerous area.
We need to get out of here as soon as possible.
“yes. let’s go.”
I put Captain Charles’s backpack back into A.S.
You seem to be trying to do other wounds after you get out of here. First of all, I decided that it would be better to put the backpack that becomes a burden in the subspace.
After that, I put the backpack into the AS and unlocked the AS.
He kicked the ground as it was.
No, I was trying to spur it.
widely-!
If Captain Charles hadn’t stopped me by grabbing my sleeve, I would have run away.
“I-I’m really, really sorry.”
Captain Charles’ cheeks were a bit red.
Contrasted with the pure white hair, the blush stands out even more.
“me. Because the situation is a bit unreasonable… … Is it hard to run alone?”
“ah.”
In fact, Captain Charles’ legs were shaking slightly.
“So, that… … .”
“yes. All right.”
I sat down on one knee, standing in front of the captain.
“I’ll pick you up and go.”
“… … ok.”
Captain Charles was placed on my back as it was.
“Please intercept the approaching monsters.”
“That’s it, no problem.”
Captain Charles, who cannot run properly due to the heavy load on his body.
Also, because of the resonance, my mental power was under load, and I had problems using magicians.
When each other complements each other’s weaknesses, this formation is the best.
“Then I will go.”
I kicked the ground as it was.
* * *
The central headquarters of the Black Mage Tower.
Shadow was horribly wounded and returned to headquarters.
And quickly finished first aid for the wound, and headed to the room of the Dark Mage King to make a report.
“Excuse me.”
In the center of the room dyed entirely in jet black, a contrasting white throne stands tall.
And on that white throne, a black king who doesn’t seem to have anything to do with white.
The Dark Mage King was sitting with his chin resting.
Shadow approached the proper distance and knelt down.
“The eighth child of darkness is dead.”
The eighth child of darkness was a title that meant parade.
“… … yes. He was defeated in the battle at Mt. Baekdu and died there.”
Shadow answered calmly.
“Shadow. What were you doing then?”
What were you doing while the parade died.
It was a word with such a meaning.
“I will report.”
Shadow started reporting as nonchalantly as possible.
Received a request for support from Parade. Meeting Shin Ha-yul and Charles while going to support.
A battle between the two due to the force of the parade.
And finally, even the false report that he was defeated by Shin Ha-yul.
finished everything
“Shin Ha-ryul. A heretical molecule who killed the fourth child of darkness. Was he that strong? shadow. To the point where you can do nothing and choose to run away?”
The voice of the Dark Mage King had even more power.
There was a clear sign of doubt about Shadow’s report.
“yes. Later, if you review the battle traces of Mt. Baekdu through Hermes or Yeager, you will know. Shinha rate. His strength is extraordinary.”
The Dark Mage King’s expression became sharper.
“Shadow. Release the shadows that cover your body.”
Through the naked face inside the shadow, I will confirm the true intention of the shadow.
That’s what it meant.
“It’s embarrassing, so I didn’t want to show it… … .”
With a hint that Shadow couldn’t help it, he released the shadow.
Shadow’s bare face and bare body gradually revealed.
Shadow’s body was covered with burns.
“As you can see, such a serious wound… … .”
Shortly after all the shadows disappeared. Shadow’s pupils widened.
An expression as if shocked by something.
“Quaaaaaaagh!”
screaming in flight.
A scream erupted from the unbearable level of agony.
‘Oh, are you sick? it hurts? I?’
Shadow was deprived of his five senses by the shadow of Umbra. Of course, I don’t even feel the pain properly.
Such a shadow is currently feeling the pain in real time.
It was such a terrible pain that I would pass out right now.
‘how… … ?’
Apart from the shock of the intense pain, the fact that he felt pain itself was a great shock.
“Cheup.”
Shadow bit his lip and endured the pain.
Then, while still lying down, he raised his head and looked at the Dark Mage King.
“… … !”
At that moment, her eyes, which were already wide, widened even more.
‘see?’
I see the Black Mage King.
It’s not something you see indirectly through a shadow.
Shadow is looking at the Dark Mage King through his own eyes.
Black, white, see the world.
‘how… … what the heck is this… … .’
Shadow grew more confused.
How confused it is, I can’t even remember Shin Ha-yul’s strategy.
If the Dark Mage King were to ask Shadow a question right now, there would be a high probability that the loophole would be revealed.
It was a crisis of stagnation.
however.
“Is it enough for you to scream that loudly?”
Fortunately, the Dark Mage King seemed unwilling to ask Shadow any additional questions.
“understood. As you said, I think we need to pay a little more attention to that heretic named Shin Ha-yul.”
The Dark Mage King doesn’t know that Shadow doesn’t have the five senses.
I just know that Shadow has a lot of patience, so he only tolerates pain well.
In fact, as much as the indirect pain through shadows is conveyed, I have shown myself feeling pain several times.
That’s why the Dark Mage King didn’t notice Shadow’s abnormality.
No, I couldn’t notice.
“Enough. Shadow again, suppress the pain.”
“Yes, Al… … . Big!”
Shadow hurriedly covered the shadow and suppressed the pain.
“Huh, huh, huh… … .”
A cold sweat runs through your body like rain. It was the first time in my life that I had experienced such intense pain.
I really thought I was going to die.
“… … I showed you what you can’t see. sorry.”
The spirit began to calm down rapidly with the disappearance of the pain.
Shadow quickly got down on one knee and lowered his head.
“do not care.”
The one who gave the order was the Dark Mage King himself.
No matter how filthy Shadow looked, it was nothing to be concerned about.
“Then just go out and see. Go out and heal your wounds.”
“… … yes.”
Shadow slowly rose from his seat. Then, after briefly bowing his head, he turned his body.
“And another one.”
Looking at Shadow who turned his back, the Dark Mage King slowly said a word.
“Leave Shin Ha-ryul as it is for a while. Now that I’m facing a big deal. We can’t consume more power by doing useless things.”
“… … yes. All right.”
Due to the variable that happened to Shadow, the plan was significantly off.
Morro Garden, Road Garden, all you have to do is go to Seoul.
It was the moment when the purpose of Shadow and Shin Ha-yul was 100% achieved.
‘… … How are my senses of sight and touch?’
However, Shadow couldn’t be happy even though he had achieved his goal.
A change in one’s own body.
It was because I was busy thinking about the recovery of the five senses that I had dreamed of.
‘What could be the cause… … The degree of absorption and amplification of Helios’ Heavenly Demon.’
Shadow’s head spun like a top. And he soon came to a conclusion.
‘No matter what, I have to go find Shin Ha-yul as soon as possible.’
A tinge flowed from Shadow’s eyes.
To do that, he must complete the list of spies that he promised to hand over to Shin Ha-yul as soon as possible.
