Chapter 535
The black shadow swayed like a swamp and soon changed into a human form. It was the stealth technique of the shadow assassins.
Raon licked his lips briefly as he saw the ten assassins crowding in front of the lake.
‘All of them are masters.’
I couldn’t figure out the aura from a long distance, but looking at the level of stealth and movement, they were all assassins who had reached a considerable level.
‘He’s the strongest of all the guys that came so far.’
While waiting for two days, I saw the shadows trying to enter the factory several times, but the ones that came now were the best.
‘then… .’
Raon looked away from the assassins who seemed to be about to enter the lake, and looked towards the village again.
‘It must mean Derus is coming soon.’
The purpose of those assassins is to attract attention. It was clear that Derus was trying to attract the attention of the black market agents until he had seen everything inside the factory.
Raon looked down at the factory and twisted his mouth.
‘It seems he doesn’t want to reveal his traces even at a time like this.’
When I thought of that weasel-like face, my fists clenched.
‘But this time it will be different.’
There is no trace of me inside the consignee factory. Even the flow of mana itself was distorted by the high-ranking mage, so even if it was Derus, there would be no information that could be obtained from there.
‘They’ll think I’m kidding.’
Derus is a cold-hearted person, but once he reveals his true colors, he explodes out of control.
Even Derus, no matter how rational, would have no choice but to burst into anger as the consignee factory was destroyed and decades of time and astronomical amounts of money were blown away.
‘I’ve prepared everything for that.’
Even if he couldn’t completely reveal Derus’ identity, he made a way to stop him and track him down. If everything goes according to plan, we might be able to reveal his true colors in a short time.
‘Whoa… .’
Lars, who had fainted from the rubbery taste of Nadine’s bread, struggled to lift his eyelids as Raon calmed himself as he reexamined his plan.
-Wow, you’re here.
‘what?’
-The person you are looking for has arrived.
Lars pointed to the factory with his round hand.
‘I didn’t feel it?’
-A guy with a different level from you even used stealth, so I have no choice but to know. To be honest, I almost missed the original king.
He frowned, saying he was dangerous.
‘Has the force become stronger?’
Raon frowned and turned his eyes toward the lake. Assassins who had gathered began to enter the lake deliberately making noise.
‘It draws attention so that Derus can search the factory.’
Seeing that the waiting assassins had moved, it seemed that Derus had already entered the factory, just as Lars had said.
[Breaking Lord.]
Raon sent a message to come to Denzel, who was hiding nearby.
[It looks like he came.]
Denzel nodded as if he understood and moved the black market agents near the lake.
Black market agents who listened to his instructions attacked the assassins entering the lake, and a battle ensued.
After leaving the lake side to Denzel, Raon continued to focus on the factory.
‘You must never let go of your heart.’
If you miss the enraged Derus, many people could die, so you should never relax.
He used the ring of fire to calm his mind and focus on his senses. She applied subtle auras to her hands and feet so that she could move at any time.
While slowly resonating the ring of fire and raising his concentration, a man in a black robe appeared in front of the factory.
‘what?’
I didn’t even see it. There was no flow of mana, no wind, and it felt as if it literally surged up on the spot.
‘It’s a bastard… .’
You can tell just by looking at the silhouette wearing the robe. It was clear that Derus Robert had been inspecting the factory.
Raon bit his lip and put his hand in his subspace pocket. If Derus moved, he swallowed dry saliva, touching the artifact and signal flare that he would use right away.
But Derus did not move from the spot. He appeared to be not breathing, as if he had turned into a stone statue.
‘What the hell… .’
Just like how he exploded in the sea in the past, the character of Derus he had seen so far had to move to destroy the village and kill all the agents of the black market while losing his reason.
But he stood still, not moving a finger.
‘Could it be that you found my traces?’
no. It can’t be.
I also checked with Lars. There is no trace of me left behind.
All that was left were a few sword marks deliberately carved for mockery.
‘What are you thinking?’
As Raon bit his lip and pressed down on his heart, which started beating faster, Derus raised his head toward the sky.
The eyes of the guy who was wearing something were revealed. In the blue eyes, something like red lava was shaking.
‘come! definitely come… uh?’
When I gave strength to hold the flare, Derus suddenly disappeared.
‘Where have you been? Could it be a lake?’
Raon looked towards the lake and stood up.
If Derus goes after the people in the lake, it won’t last even a second. He had to save the black market agents by setting off a flare.
-You don’t need to shoot it.
As he was about to fire a flare into the sky, Lars raised his hand.
– He’s back.
‘What are you talking about?’
-It means that the person escaped.
Lars shook his head, saying that Derus had left the area altogether.
‘That makes sense… .’
Raon looked around the lake. The assassins of the shadows no longer fought back, and focused only on escaping.
If Derus had been there, there was no way the assassins would back down like that. Just as Lars said, Derus has disappeared, so he is trying to escape.
“her… .”
Raon couldn’t stand it and let out a fuss with upbringing.
‘The madman just left?’
I know because I’ve been watching Derus for decades.
He’s obviously cold-hearted, but when something he’s been preparing for a long time is broken, he gets angry and erases everything around him, as if his brain’s circuitry is broken. It didn’t make sense that he went back without doing anything.
‘Couldn’t it be that he wasn’t angry?’
No, that’s not it. His eyes were clearly brimming with rage.
– That’s right.
Lars nodded calmly.
-That guy aroused enough anger to reach the main king. But I put up with it and walked away.
He looked down at the space where Derus was standing and frowned.
-Anyway, he seems to have grown up since the last time we met at sea. either physically or mentally.
“after… .”
Raon sighed and sat down on the floor.
‘Is there no sky?’
thousands. No, when I heard that the evil demon playing with the lives of tens of thousands of people had grown more, I felt sick to my stomach. It made me think that there is no such thing as God in the world.
-If you really want to kill that guy, turn your body over to the main king. Even the king doesn’t like his behavior.
Lars clenched his thick hand.
-The fact that he took your food and ate it wasn’t enough, he’s a guy who even plays with life, so the main king will personally kill you!
As he teased me, wagging his cotton candy tail, a message popped up in front of my eyes.
[You have succeeded in perfect assassination.]
[All stats increase by 12 points.]
[The level of the attribute <Ambush> will increase.]
[The grade of the attribute <Divinity that bloomed from darkness> will increase.]
The reward for assassinating the necromancer and the shadows of the concubine factory has come only now.
-uh?
Lars blinked at the message.
-Hey, does this make sense? Where is the point of spreading like this that you did a good job on assassination?!
The guy screamed, saying he didn’t know how much. But the message isn’t over yet.
[The target of <Envy> is changed from Cheryl to Aris Sieghard.]
[The space sword grows faster.]
The second message is <Jealousy>. No, the subject of <Envy> changed from Cheryl to Aris.
-Why is this changing again!
‘It must be because I use the space sword.’
When Lecia was about to self-destruct all the recipients at the end, the trick that pushed the divine power into their bodies was the space sword.
The object of envy has changed from Cheryl to Aris, probably because she admired Aris while using the space sword for the first time in real combat.
Raon licked his lips in satisfaction as he read the message.
‘If that’s the case, I’d be fine.’
He had mastered almost all the techniques of the double swordsmanship that Cheryl had shown him, and now only mastery remained.
If you can learn Aris’ space sword quickly here, it will be of great help in future battles.
-Oh, oh, oh… .
‘thanks. Lars.’
Raon patted Lars on the back with his mouth wide open.
‘Thanks to you, I might reach him soon.’
-Keuuugh! Shut up and bring me some food! Spit out whatever food the main king wants!
‘If I spit it out, I wouldn’t be able to taste it?’
-You mean eat it!

Demoron Village located in the southwestern part of the continent.
A man wearing a black robe like a shadow appeared in front of a mid-sized village that lives off herb and fruit farming.
“Who is there!”
“Take off your robe, reveal your identity!”
It was late, so the soldiers guarding the entrance to the village erected long spears on top of the barbed wire fence.
“… do it.”
The man in the robe muttered something in a very thin voice without even looking at the soldiers on the fence.
“What are you talking about!”
“Take off your robe!”
The soldiers pointed their long spears as if they felt something strange, and another soldier under the barbed wire ran into the village to bring the warriors.
“… … .”
The man in the black robe slowly raised his head. There was a strange flame flickering in her beautifully vivid blue eyes.
“ah… .”
“eww… .”
As soon as the soldiers saw the man’s eyes, they took hold of them and dropped their long spears. It’s just fear that rules their heads. I couldn’t even lift a finger as if my body was paralyzed.
Only then did the Robe man’s voice come.
“Consider yourself out of luck.”
The barbed wire fence turned to powder and disappeared along with a terrifying voice, and the bodies of the soldiers standing on it were roughly crumbled like autumn leaves.
Without even a scream, the lives of the two melted in the darkness.
“What’s going on!”
“It’s an intruder! Sound the alarm!”
Soldiers and soldiers guarding the village could be seen running. They grabbed swords and polearms and charged at the robed man.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaagh!
The man in the robe didn’t even reach out his hand and just walked down the street. As if his heavy steps had turned into a swamp of death, the soldiers and soldiers who tried to attack him were torn apart without even leaving bones.
“Quaaaaaagh!”
“iced coffee… .”
“Hey, what is this… Big!”
The vigilantes who stood behind the soldiers screamed as they watched their bodies melt like snow, then blood ran down.
“Eh, run away!”
“Get out of town quickly!”
“Never look back!”
The villagers realized that the man in the robe was a monster they couldn’t stand against, and told them to run away and scattered in all directions.
Rob’s man did not pursue the fleeing men. He just walked down the bloody road to the center of town.
Whoa!
As he stretched out his hand toward the night sky, a strange echo enveloped the village.
“Once we get out of here… ah.”
“Wait a minute! please… .”
“Turn it off… .”
People who tried to escape by climbing over the wall trembled their lips as they saw their arms and legs being torn apart as if they had been cut by saw teeth.
They melted to powder before they could even let out a scream of pain and terror.
Woo woo woo woo!
The village of Demuron, which had existed for over a hundred years, turned to dust and disappeared within a minute.
It was not a human deity, but an evil spirit striking innocent humans with a mace.
The man in the robe shook his hands as if removing dust. Even though he had killed over a hundred humans, his leather gloves were clean without a drop of blood.
When there was an eerie silence where not even the wind blew, Kubara, wearing a mask and a black night suit, stepped down.
“There are no pursuers.”
Kuba went up to the robed man and bowed his head.
“The only traces in the factory are ridicule.”
“hmm… .”
Rob’s man. Derus Robert turned his chilling cold gaze away. Kubara unknowingly shook her shoulders.
“me. They provoked me as if they knew my personality. It’s like showing off your strength.”
“… … .”
Kubara dared to look Derus in the eyes and swallowed dryly. It was as it was said.
In the past, Derus would have exploded on the spot, erasing the village and massacring the black market warriors hiding nearby.
However, he did not fall for the provocation and only came here to vent his anger. It was more terrifying than before.
“It’s not like the black market. There must be someone behind them. Someone who knows me too.”
Derus raised his head toward the dark sky. She glared at the sky with icy eyes and twisted her mouth.
“Find it. Tear up the black market to find the guy behind it.”
“… All right.”
Cubara spat out the only answer he had no choice but to give.
“Let’s also cut off the link between the factory and oil painting industry in other places.”
“Why are you there… .”
“If the factory in Capoli gets caught, it’s not safe there either. Move as fast as you can.”
“yes.”
“Clean up and come back.”
Derus left Kubara and the shadows to clean up and headed to Robert’s estate alone.
The closer you get to the family, the more the chill that makes you tremble disappears, and a gentle yet soft unique atmosphere flows out.
After he arrived at his family, he did not return to the mansion right away, but headed to the small training ground.
The gymnasium was well lit, and the youngest son, Lefon Robert, and the swordsmen following him were practicing their swordsmanship in a hot sweat.
“uh? father!”
Lepon found Derus and came running with his sword lowered.
“What are you doing?”
“I came because I forgot something.”
Derus smiled softly and snapped his fingers. A blue dimension opened in the air, and an elegant red sword rose from within.
“I forgot your birthday present. Sorry for late.”
“Ah, no, what is this… .”
Contrary to what Lepon said, he couldn’t take his eyes off the red sword.
“Now you should also have a proper sword.”
Derus smiled and handed the red sword to Lefon.
“thank you!”
Lefon smiled broadly and embraced Derus.
“okay. Let’s hug each other now before we grow up.”
Derus also smiled brightly and hugged Lefon deeper. The glove he used to caress his son’s back was still clean.
* * *
After Raon made up his mind, he approached Denzel.
“Laon?”
“It is over.”
“yes?”
Denzel tilted his head as if to say something.
“I have already come and gone.”
“Uh, when… .”
He blinked as if he hadn’t noticed Derus, who was standing in front of the factory.
“I went to see all the factories. I thought I was going to have a seizure, but it quietly disappeared.”
Raon sighed and shook his head.
“sorry. The plan has gone awry.”
“Oh, no. No one died, which is rather fortunate.”
Denzel shook his hand and said no.
“Then is it safe here now?”
“yes. It will be fine.”
Raon nodded as he looked at Capoli Village and Bayonne Lake. Seeing Derus leave as it is, it seemed that he would not extend his magic power to this village again.
“Please call the villagers again.”
“Now I’m going to stop listening to the chief’s nagging. Fortunately, the.”
Denzel said he was relieved and smiled.
“You worked hard.”
He smiled lightly, thinking of the village chief, Berulik, who was both affectionate and talkative.
“We will continue to track them based on the information they left behind, but what will Raon do?”
“Where are Gwangpungdae and NCIA Yonan-nim now?”
Raon didn’t answer right away, but asked again.
“The windmill is returning to Sieghart, and Miss NCia is already in Sieghart.”
Denzel immediately informed me of the locations of Gwangpungdae and NCIA, as if he had done his research in advance.
“Then I must go back. to home.”
Raon looked to the north and exhaled a low breath.
-Oh oh!
Lars, who was crumpling his face at the reward, jumped up.
-rice! It’s rice! It’s finally rice! Sweetness on the tongue of the king, who was only filled with the nasty smell of Nadine’s bread… .
‘Please feel… .’
