Episode 53
A red shadow ran through the forest.
After a while, something suddenly popped out from within the red shadow.
It was Raisin who emerged from the shadows.
Raisin took off his black mask and his mask at the same time.
Then its original form was revealed.
“after.”
After taking off both masks, I can barely breathe.
He was holding a small bat in his arms.
“Syria.”
[ Ugh, I still can’t get used to this feeling of being drained. ]
Syria groaned.
However, perhaps because of its previous experience, Syria flapped its wings while faltering.
I think I’ve adapted to it in my own way.
Raisin wiped his nose as he looked at Syria.
Then, blood came out from his hands and he wiped it away.
My body feels chilly.
The price for harassing the magic circuit is severe.
‘I can’t do this often.’
I never said I wouldn’t use it again.
You have to write what you can write.
[ I’m sorry, Raisin, if I had been stronger… ]
Syria flapped its wings with a gloomy face.
Raisin hugged Syria and patted his head.
“There is such a thing as compatibility. There is no need to apologize.”
Raisin had no intention of criticizing Syria.
“Rather, it ended easily thanks to Syria’s good guidance.”
Even in Raisin’s eyes, it was bad luck to encounter the Black Knight.
Who would have thought that he, who had turned his back on the world, would show up there?
Anyone could see that this was an unlucky situation.
‘Did Marado join Sahaon Village?’
Why is it that every time I come here, there are endless incidents involving the powerful.
“It was a coincidence that I met the Black Star.”
“Yes, I smelled a strong smell so I went outside to check for a moment and then it suddenly attacked me.”
Syria was dressed up in shadows.
If that’s the case, then it means he has the skill to see through something.
‘Tseup, you have something that is not very pleasant.’
It is extremely difficult for someone who has to hide their identity.
It was a good thing he wore the black mask.
Since it was double-hidden, it wouldn’t have been easily seen through.
‘I wanted to finish it if possible.’
If you had united with the undead from the beginning, then maybe not.
I deliberately didn’t use Undead Union right away to draw him into close range.
If he had used Undead Unity from the beginning, his fighting style would have changed.
I’m sure they chose the method of dealing with the strong.
However, Raisin’s body seemed weak compared to the magic he used.
So, Geomseongdo chose to take a risk and decided to go for a quick solution.
Actually, this number was correct.
‘Lightning [SS].’
If I had distanced myself from the beginning, the fusion magic would have failed.
‘More than anything, it’s too much to just kill the blacksmith.’
The identity of the blacksmith is the problem.
He is the son of an imperial marquis.
In Dungeon Replay, the power of the nobles is beyond imagination.
Most people never see a nobleman unless they live in a city.
Their status is high and noble.
‘Estelle is still being hunted for killing the Count, the White King.’
If he was killed, it would have definitely been on the orders of the Marquis.
‘We can’t be openly chased by the Empire yet.’
At our current level, we cannot withstand an imperial attack.
‘In particular, the members of the royal family who were chasing Estelle.’
They could have gone after Raisin.
According to Estelle, they are adept at fighting necromancers.
If you fight them, you’ll most likely die in Raisin, even if it’s not Syria.
So now I had to avoid bumping into them.
However, that doesn’t mean that you can kill the Black Swordsman and then turn him into a servant.
There are necromancers within the empire.
‘I’ll definitely get caught.’
This is also the reason why I couldn’t send the five back to the Night Crows.
‘But it’s likely to become a headache later on.’
For now, it’s better to be chased by a resentful black knight than by the empire.
“Phew.”
Raisin exhaled.
It shakes off any anxiety that may arise later.
Instead, he turned his thinking in a positive direction.
First of all, it’s time to understand the situation.
“Syria, the Black Star seemed to have a grudge against you. Do you know what happened?”
Syria reacted with aplomb.
“Raisin, I saw that guy for the first time today.”
As expected, Syria did not remember the sword.
Well then, let’s change the direction of the question.
“Then, do you remember the Blue Bird Knights?”
“Oh, I know. They were the guys who suddenly came looking for me one day, as if they knew where I was.”
“The date was about 15 years ago?”
“That’s right! It was around that time.”
Raisin pressed his chin.
The Knights of the Blue Bird are the ones who were ridiculed as the Knights of the Blue Chicken.
The Knights were treated as problem children in the empire.
I don’t understand why such a knightly order would attack Syria.
That was practically suicide.
“Syria, what did you do with those guys?”
“At first I thought they were going to fight. But for some reason, they started fighting among themselves.”
When Raisin asked for more details, he gave an unexpected answer.
Hearing her words, Raisin blinked.
“… … Among themselves?”
“Yes, among themselves.”
What the heck is this?
‘… … the empire tried to get rid of them, and Syria was used for this?’
Raisin patted her crossed arms briefly.
Something was intertwined between the Empire’s intentions and Syria.
‘But why does the Empire need to eliminate the Blue Bird Knights?’
Information was lacking.
My head isn’t working properly due to lack of information.
“okay.”
But thanks to you, I learned one thing.
‘The Black Knights believe that Syria has annihilated the Blue Bird Knights.’
This is a misunderstanding.
Is this an act within the empire?
Or maybe there was some other intention involved.
It is not Syria’s doing.
‘If we do this well.’
It may be possible to change the direction of the resentment that Geomseong harbors.
Blacksmith also clearly wants to vent his resentment in the right direction.
‘A move that can infiltrate the Black Sword into the Empire.’
You will be able to use your spleen to your advantage.
‘It was the right decision not to kill.’
A person deeply connected to the empire.
This is also an opportunity to turn the nobility to our side.
‘Checking the empire, and even reaching the founding ending.’
Someone who can have both cards in their hand.
‘It’s still early.’
Whether we like it or not, the Black Star will come after Syria in the future.
‘Collect the patterns for sure.’
Hold in hand.
But there is another problem before that.
Raisin raised his head.
Then I saw the sky turning black.
This is a mountain away from Sahaon village.
Syria will have to stay in bat form for a while.
Raisin also used up all his strength while using large-scale magic.
“… … Are you homeless?”
After spending a few days in the dungeon, I finally got some rest, but I ended up sleeping out again today.
I really miss my warm bed.
“Hehehe, it’s good that you’ve adapted to the wild. No matter where you go and drift, you won’t die… … .”
Raisin just decided to be a little more positive today.
So, Raisin dragged his tired body and walked as fast as he could.
Even if the swordsman doesn’t know, his subordinates might bring the pursuer.
So, I tried to find a quiet place and hide myself.
So I endured a whole day chewing on jerky in a nearby cave.
“Raisin, I’m okay now!”
Syria has reported news of recovery.
“I see. Fortunately… … .”
And with that, Raisin’s consciousness was cut off.
Raisin, who held on with open eyes until Syria recovered.
Raisin’s body was already at its limit.
Just after coming out of the dungeon.
I was using up so much magic power without even being able to rest.
The only reason I haven’t collapsed until now is because of my mental strength.
“Raisin!”
Finally, Syria’s screams were heard.
If it’s Syria, I’m sure they’ll keep you safe.
Raisin was knocked unconscious with a burning magic circuit.
* * *
Raisin was walking quietly through some space.
I don’t know where this is.
I just walked and walked, without any rest.
My legs are strangely tireless.
In the meantime, have you gained more stamina?
The moment Raisin began to question, a light appeared at the end of the darkness.
Raisin, who saw this, increased his running speed a little more.
At that moment, he reached out his hand towards the light.
A hand suddenly appeared in the light.
A very white hand grabbed Raisin’s hand.
When you wonder what it is.
An eye was visible beyond the light.
【Who are you?】
The moment the next voice pierced through his head, his hand shook itself away.
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Raisin sprained his ankle along with him.
The platform he had been standing on disappeared, and black space swallowed him up.
“Whoa!”
Raisin screamed and jumped up.
He was out of breath, with cold sweat running down his body.
“Raisin, you’re awake!”
Raisin turned his head to follow the voice he heard.
Then there was Syria, who had the same beautiful appearance.
Her eyes were filled with worry.
“Syria, here.”
“It’s in the shadows.”
Somehow the surrounding scenery felt a little different.
‘What was the dream you had a while ago?’
The pure white hand that held my hand.
And the question is, who are you?
I think it’s just a dream, but I feel uneasy for no reason.
‘Did I use the magic circuit too much?’
I didn’t know that the influence might even reach my mind.
“Syria, what about the black castle?”
“I don’t think they’re following me. No one has ever entered the forest before.”
Syria appears to be being searched more extensively than expected.
Since Geomseong was injured to that extent, it seems like they have given up on chasing him for now.
It’s a good thing I don’t want to bump into him again now.
“How long has it been since I passed out?”
“About a day.”
More time has passed than I thought.
Raisin decided to stop spending time here.
“Then Syria, call Hanok.”
“Are you planning on leaving right now? I already called you!”
Syria took quick action in advance.
Raisin smiled at the sight of her sturdy body and lay down again.
“Then, until you come back, I’ll take care of something for a bit.”
After seeing the sword, I feel confident.
‘I have to get stronger faster.’
A variable that suddenly appears.
This time, if Geomseong wasn’t alone, it would have been dizzying.
I don’t think it will end this way.
The next person you meet could be the Judgement Lord.
Then it could be the Knight Commander.
The empire does not stay still either.
They governed the world in various ways.
Naturally, he wanted to punish the heretics of the world.
‘If I can’t fight against the next bad luck.’
Death cannot be avoided.
Raisin prided himself on being lucky.
However, no matter how lucky a person is, bad luck often comes to him.
It is up to you to overcome that misfortune.
Raisin experienced this fact again through this incident.
‘so.’
The corners of Raisin’s mouth went up.
‘I’d rather struggle than die.’
Look, who would die so easily?
“I’ll go to the resonance world and come back.”
Use your time as efficiently as possible.
Raisin threw himself into the resonance world once again.
Raisin’s spirit quickly entered the resonance world.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the room I had seen last time.
thud!
Raisin kicked open the door without hesitation.
Then I walked down the hallway and arrived at the hall I had seen before.
Squeak-
When I opened the door, I saw a piece of paper tied up there.
When Raisin unwrapped the paper, there was writing inside.
Interesting. Let me know when you have time and we can take a look. ―Poisonous Spider
The poison necromancer, Tarantula, accepted Raizen’s offer.
Raisin wrote on the other side of the paper.
Then he put it in the spider’s door and walked inside.
Soon after, several familiar necromancers appeared.
A monkey, a butterfly mask, and a skull.
“Oh my, it’s been a while.”
The butterfly mask noticed this side and drew a smile.
The skeleton chattered its teeth with interest.
The monkey’s eyes sparkled brightly.
This time there was a person I had never seen before.
“Oh, I see you are the one who was said to be the acquaintance of the abyss!”
He was a short, hairy man whose entire face was covered in hair and whose eyes were not visible.
‘Is there no blue flame?’
A guy with a blue flame burning instead of a head.
I felt like he would know something, but I feel regretful.
Raisin walked forward with all eyes on him.
Then I sat down on the sofa.
Everyone’s eyes naturally focused on Raisin.
Raisin is the only one of the Abyss’s best necromancers.
As necromancers, it couldn’t help but be interesting to them.
“The Blue Bird Knights.”
Under the focused gaze, Raisin’s mouth opened.
“If there is a guy who can find out information by turning the Blue Bird Knight Commander into an undead.”
The necromancers showed various expressions.
“I’ll answer any questions you have.”
Necromancers.
It’s a request.
