Chapter 281
Raon went into a restaurant in front of the alley and ordered a sandwich.
-Turn it off… .
Lars let out a pained sound as if he didn’t like it.
-Isn’t the promise different!
‘The door is closed, tell me what to do.’
The barbecue restaurant he wanted to go to was closed as if it had been open until dawn. Like Gran Seville, which is more lively at night than during the day, there were not many restaurants open in the morning, so there was no choice.
-I swore I would never trust your snout, but I was tricked again!
Lars’ hand on the table trembled.
-I won’t believe you anymore… .
‘After work, I’ll try all the delicious food here.’
-lie! The lie is obvious!
‘As you know, it’s not long.’
Raon raised his finger up. He pointed not to the ceiling of the dining room, but to the shaman’s camp above it.
‘Last night, that shaman was opened. In other words, that spell will be activated today.’
The yogi and blood that I felt before entering the restaurant last night are fragments of power bursting out at the moment the shaman’s circle opened. Since the magic has been opened, I will definitely activate the magic within a short time so that the energy contained in it is not wasted.
-In the eyes of the original king, that energy is not yet perfect. The bowl is not full.
‘that’s right. It’s just that the offering is here.’
Raon smiled lightly and pointed at himself.
-You’re a sacrifice?
‘okay. They definitely know I’m here.’
Looking at the current situation, it is certain that white blood Christians are hiding even in the black market. There was no way that the White Blood Church, who had defeated the 7 apostles and killed the 4 apostles, would have lost information about themselves.
‘They will target me and attack me soon. it won’t take long Be patient.’
-Are you sure?
Lars blinked, forgetting what he said 20 seconds ago.
‘then.’
-Turn it off… .
“Dinner is served.”
Lars’ suspicious eyes lit up when the clerk brought two egg and ham sandwiches.
“thank you.”
Since I was talking to Lars, I set the plate down on the table.
-What are you doing?
‘No, even if I really believe this time… .’
-Close your mouth and eat for now. Because the king’s belly skin is attached to his back!
‘under.’
Raon let out a fuss. I thought he was talking about food to eat later, but Lars seems to be in a hurry with the sandwich in front of him. I wondered if this was really the devil.
He took a bite of the sandwich with a puzzled look on his face. The crispy bread, thick ham, cheese, and soft egg harmonize well, and the savory yet rich taste spreads throughout your mouth.
‘It’s fine.’
-Keuu, they said that the market is a side dish, this isn’t bad either.
Lars laughed heartily, delighted with a sandwich.
– Isn’t the bread crooked! Because the balance is broken. Put the ham properly between the bread!
“hmm… .”
Raon licked his lips as he saw Lars being happy.
‘I feel like I’m doing something bad.’
Being so passionate about a sandwich, this time I should eat proper food after work.
I thought it wouldn’t be bad to rent one of the best restaurants and have a dinner for the entire Gwangpungdan.
‘Should I check that or something?’
Raon brought a reward that he could not properly check because Lars was running out of control.
<Shaman Interpreter>
A title given to those who interpret and solve high-difficulty spells on their own.
Abilities: All stats +5.
‘It’s even attached to the ability level.’
I thought it was just a title with a name, but it also had the effect of raising abilities. I smiled at the unexpected joy.
<True interpretation (1 star)>
The insight and concentration that can see through all the flow of jinbeop, such as checkup, mujin, and shaman, increase.
True interpretation has no additional ability, but it has increased the ability to see the effects of various methods. It’s a growth type, so if you raise it properly, it will be of much greater help than your ability.
‘They’ve even raised their abilities.’
Finally, all stats up to 5 points. Giving such a reward right before a battle seemed like a blessing from the goddess of victory to win unconditionally.
– Big… .
Lars, who was delighted with the sandwich, bit his lip as he read the message.
– To give such a reward just for interpreting the spell… .
‘If you think about it, giving is natural.’
Raon waved his hand.
‘The system rewards you according to your achievements. Now that I’ve analyzed the colossal scale of the shaman’s circle, it’s only natural that a reasonable reward will come.’
The system works efficiently. Even if it wasn’t martial arts, it was just a reward for doing something that could be called an achievement. The rewards obtained were also related to witchcraft or jinbeop.
-Turn off… .
Lars seemed to have nothing to say, so he sighed.
-If the original king returns, he will break the system first! I will never use it again!
‘I guess.’
Raon shrugged. By the time Lars goes back, his work is all over, so he didn’t care anyway.
‘Now that we’ve finished, let’s go.’
He pushed the empty plate forward.
– What, what! Where are you going after just eating a sandwich!
‘To the children.’
Raon put the food money on the table and stood up.
‘I have to inform them of the plan to break the White Blood Bridge.’

Marta pursued Luna after receiving instructions from Raon. As she said before, Luna was living in a shack with her two younger siblings.
I thought I would be eating well today since I gave enough money, but the children were filling their stomachs with hard, dry bread, as if it had been taken away as a deposit.
“sister. My sister eats too.”
Luna’s sister held out half of the bread. The younger brother also sniffed at her and handed her the bread she was eating.
“Because I ate outside. Don’t worry, eat you guys first.”
Luna smiled lightly and pushed the bread back to her younger siblings.
Marta frowned at Luna.
‘I got hit.’
Seeing the bruises on her face that I hadn’t seen before, it seemed that she had been robbed of more than the amount of money and even beaten when she went to make a gift.
‘Damn things… .’
Seeing Luna clutching at her stomach while looking at her younger siblings, she remembered her former self and got a little heated.
‘Shall I come with George?’
After all, that’s my money.
As I watch the little ones get beaten and stuffed with dry bread, the fire breaks out. I thought about coming with George, using a suitable excuse.
“Are those children?”
“Huup!”
As I was thinking, I heard Raon’s plain voice from behind. She almost freaked out, but she managed to hold it in thanks to Raon covering her mouth.
“You son of a bitch! Show some signs and come!”
“You can’t do that here.”
Raon laughed softly and opened the membrane to prevent the sound from escaping.
“That girl is Luna, right? It’s not just the wound, there’s blood all over her body.”
He looked at Luna and narrowed his eyes slightly. As expected, she muttered and nodded her head.
“I have blood all over my body? Can you see that?”
“I’m in pretty good shape right now.”
“hmm… .”
I can’t feel anything.
If you hadn’t seen Luna’s wounds, you wouldn’t have imagined that there was blood. From this distance, Raon, feeling the blood inside Luna’s body, looked like a monster.
“This is not the first time that child has buried a stone with blood. It is a state in which blood is accumulated in the body due to being exposed to blood while burying a stone. I can’t control it, so I’m moving on my own.”
“Well, then what will happen?”
“I’m fine now, but I’ll die the moment the spell is activated.”
“You die?”
“okay. Right now the shaman won’t trigger in perfect condition. They will prey on those children who are close and exposed to a lot of blood.”
Raon gave off an eerie look and clenched his fists tightly.
“Bar, how? Aren’t you going to leave it like this?”
“Have you heard anything about it in the meantime? It’s different than usual.”
“Noisy!”
Martha slammed her hand down. He was ashamed to say that she seemed to be looking at him before entering Sieghart.
“It could be dangerous.”
“doesn’t care.”
It didn’t matter what kind of wounds he suffered in order to break the White Blood Church’s plan to make even such children a scapegoat.
“It’s a nice look. If you have that much determination, you have to believe it.”
Raon smiled and nodded.
“Soon the guy named Tewes will be calling those kids. Then you and group 1 follow the children one by one… .”

Denning Rose, the head of the Gran Seville branch of the black market, walked through the bloody basement.
‘This place must have collapsed.’
When I was first deployed to Gran Seville, I personally confirmed that this road was blocked. But the basement you can see now is open, and the floor is full of dried bloodstains.
‘No, this road collapsed and I left Margot… .’
why am i here?
I’m walking on my own feet, but I have no idea why I’m here or why I’m walking down this hallway. The feeling that the body and head are playing separately. I couldn’t stop walking or sit down. The only option was to walk.
After walking for a long time through the bloody, gooey basement, I saw a round passage through which red light leaked out. Still not knowing why, the foot crossed the aisle.
A huge cavity where soft light spreads like moonlight pouring down. A handsome young man was sitting in the center of a space where a mountain of disgusting corpses was piled up.
‘The author… .’
Denning Rose swallowed dry saliva. Thin narrow eyes with purple hair. And even the sword marks on her chest. As the head of the black market branch, you can’t help but notice the impression. He was one of the 7 apostles of the White Blood Church.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in person since I live in the same city. Denning Rose.”
The 7 apostles stood up and smiled kindly.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose knelt involuntarily and bowed his head. It’s not because the 7 apostles are afraid, nor is it because they’re afraid. His body reacted as if he had come here without even realizing it.
“A woman who bends from the start is nothing.”
The 7 apostles smiled and stood in front of Denning Rose’s head.
“Keuk… .”
Denning Rose gritted his teeth. He wanted to wake up somehow, but his body wouldn’t move. My limbs were as heavy as stone.
“why? Does your body not move on its own?”
“Everything, what the hell did you do… .”
He forced his tongue out and said. I felt like I was speaking through someone else’s mouth.
“well?”
When the Seven Apostles snapped their fingers with their chins slanted, Denning Rose lifted her head.
“Can you tell me why you guys couldn’t find us?”
“It must be because of Sejak… .”
Denning Rose sighed, looking at the narrow eyes of the 7 apostles. When she saw that Raon’s information had slipped away, she was sure that Sejak was there.
‘That’s also an executive.’
Since the information about Raon was highly confidential, it was impossible to inquire unless it was an executive. He had a plan to find him, but he couldn’t even carry it out and he died here, which made him feel sick.
“You’re not an idiot at all.”
The seven apostles nodded slowly as if satisfied.
“Then who is it?”
He snapped his fingers, and five people clad in white robes walked out from the back of the cavity.
“ah… .”
Denning Rose opened her eyes. The five people who came out were all black market personnel, and one of them was an executive. It was also Philip, who ran an antique store directly connected to the black market branch, which he hoped was not the most trivial.
“Philip, why are you… .”
When I asked questions, they did not answer. He knelt down in front of the 7 apostles and bowed his head.
“Do you know why I am telling you this?”
“You must be thinking of killing me.”
“no.”
The seven apostles snorted and shook their heads.
“Because your body no longer belongs to you.”
“Well, then my condition now… .”
“okay. I am controlling it.”
He flicked his fingers as if he were controlling a puppet with a thread.
“You are not the only one. All the worms on the ground are in my grasp. If you order me to die, I will stab myself in the heart and commit suicide.”
“Wait, what the hell… .”
“From today, this Gran Seville will become a huge fish farm. The moths who have fallen into entertainment will bring money and blood and offer them without knowing that they will die. It is a spell for that.”
The 7 apostles pointed to the ceiling. A huge blood vessel was wriggling in the soft light.
“don’t worry. You have to continue living as the branch manager of this Gran Seville.”
“eww… .”
Denning Rose licked her lips. He couldn’t even report to the black market headquarters because he couldn’t rebel at all, not like brainwashing. He may live under the rule of the seven apostles for the rest of his life.
“Denning Rose.”
The Seven Apostles smiled as they looked down at Denning Rose’s eyes, who were weighed down with fear.
“Don’t give the first mission. Bring Raon Sieghart. Because he will be the last puzzle in this farm.”

Raon looked up after examining his body and aura that had increased his abilities in the back of the dorm. dark sky. The sun had gone down before I knew it.
It wasn’t even time for sunset, but the whole world was silent. It was a grotesque sky without moon, stars, or clouds.
that buck
Light footsteps could be heard from behind. When I turned my gaze, Denning Rose, the head of the black market branch, was walking towards me.
“Laon.”
Denning Rose came right in front of me and politely bowed his head.
“I caught a white-blooded cultist.”
“A white blooded?”
“yes. I’m going to interrogate you, can you come with me?”
“I see.”
Raon nodded and put on the coat he had hung on the wall.
“thank you.”
He followed Denning Rose, who smiled softly, to the main street of Gran Seville.
Whoa!
The distinctive buildings and splendid lighting still radiated brilliant light, but there was one difference from yesterday.
human. There was not a single person on the street where many people passed by.
Denning Rose walked at the same stride and speed as if he had no interest.
After walking for a long time, she stopped at the center of the main street. It’s the most crowded place in the city, but now I haven’t seen a single ant cub.
“Laon.”
Denning Rose slowly turned around. A drop of tear fell from under the black eyepatch with a rose on it.
“sorry.”
With that said, she stepped back. At the same time, all the people hiding in the building jumped out.
Even if I roughly counted, more than a hundred people surrounded Raon with gray in their eyes.
After that, white-blooded believers in white robes raised their blood as if threatening them with various weapons.
Kurur.
When Raon felt the people’s intent to kill and frowned, a white puddle formed next to Denning Rose.
The liquid, which had been wriggling like beer froth, slowly gushed out into a human form. Purple hair and narrow eyes. Once seen, the unforgettable 7 apostles smiled with confidence.
“I must say it’s been a while.”
The seven apostles brushed off their coats and raised their white hands.
“Raon Sieghart.”
“Seven apostles.”
Raon looked at the 7 apostles with his eyebrows slightly lowered.
“Was it yours?”
“okay. all my work I didn’t expect you to come at such a timely manner.”
He giggled and spread his arms out wide.
“How do you like my welcome?”
“Greetings… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes and grabbed the sword of the requiem sword hung on his back.
“Ah, I haven’t finished talking yet.”
The seven apostles shook their heads leisurely.
“These are the words. I am not a prisoner.”
He raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
Koo-goo-goo-goo!
Even without using the ring of fire, a huge dark cloud of blood was visible.
“Did you know now?”
The 7 apostles drew a deeper smile as they looked at Raon’s embarrassed expression.
“They just accepted the blood energy without knowing it due to the influence of that witchcraft. They’re not our prison guards, they’re ordinary bugs that used to live here.”
He grabbed the hair of Denning Rose next to him and lifted it up.
“… … .”
Even though Denning Rose raised her head high enough to pull out her hair, she did not groan and her expression did not change.
“I know the usefulness of your dagger. Singing a song that brings death to the disciplined with blood as a swordsman? If I use it here, all those bugs will die.”
The seven apostles pointed to the people who filled the road from Denning Rose.
“Laon… .”
A choked voice came from Denning Rose, as if the 7 apostles had released it. A desperate voice from a calm expression. It was so bizarre that it gave me goosebumps.
“It’s the Seolhwa Swordsman. I heard that a knight holds a sword for others. I wonder how you are Will you kill the innocent for yourself? Or run away.”
He snapped his fingers as if giving him a choice.
As soon as the sound rang, people drew various weapons from their arms and approached Raon. The gray eyes glowed terribly.
“A cooperative? I never wanted a name like that.”
Raon resolutely pulled out the soul sword.
Quarreureung!
The red-shining blade was revealed, and the Yogi’s thunderous roar echoed across the avenue.
“Keuk… .”
“Cuck!”
“Ugh… .”
Both the normal people with blood and the white blood followers who were guarding them all fell to the floor and were covered in blood.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
The 7 apostles burst into light while holding onto their foreheads.
“okay. I thought so! that’s you guys! This world doesn’t really know you. I am the only one who can understand your true nature, cruel and terrible!”
He undid his robe, revealing the scars on his chest that had been cut by the requiem sword.
“Okay, let’s begin. your blood… uh?”
The 7 apostles trembled as they looked at Denning Rose right next to them. She was not dead, breathing thinly.
It’s not just Denning Rose. All the humans who put their blood into them were alive and breathing, and only the guards who guarded them died.
“What are you… .”
The 7 apostles rolled their eyes as if they couldn’t understand.
“You have crossed the line.”
“what?”
“From now on, the White Blood Church will run away just by looking at my shadow.”
Raon raised his soul sword and aimed it at the 7 apostles. The blade dyed the same color as the red eyes shone brightly.
“Because I will not spare even a single blood demon in this land.”
