How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives - How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives chapter 126

Chapter 126

Cedric’s head fell. People die when their necks fall off. With this, the battle was over.

it would have been

“… … .”

“… … .”

Neither Cyan nor Allen relaxed. Because there wasn’t that much blood flowing from him.

Even though my throat fell off, all I could do was reluctantly flow down a line. Seeing that bizarre sight, neither Cyan nor Allen could calmly say that the fight was over.

Just as expected.

“These bastards… … .”

The fallen neck opened its mouth. Soon, the entire head burned white and turned to ashes.

And the ashes gathered on Cedric’s neck, forming a new head.

The greatest ability he acquired after defeating the demon of white flame.

He was no longer a body that could be called a normal human being.

“I won’t burn everything!”

White flames flew from his back like wings. He made six wings and flew up. White salt flowed like an air current along his body.

A sword rushed at him like an arrow. Sangcheon sword cast with secret sword, island.

Cedric waved his hand as if it were annoying, and white flames soared and blew the secret sword away.

‘That guy is the most annoying.’

He glared at Xian and tried to fly higher. The power of the ancient spirits is not so threatening. What’s more annoying is Xian with a sword.

I was thinking of flying and escaping from his territory.

[ Purification area, chain ]

In the meantime, Allen cast a chain with all his might. It was really gathering all the strength he had been saving as much as possible.

A hexahedron of fire sprang up all around them, imprisoning them.

Hwareuk!

Cedric, who had just taken off, hit the ceiling of the chain and was blocked.

“With something like this… … !”

He gritted his teeth and gathered his strength. The energy to break through the chain formed a circle in his palm.

But he couldn’t put it down.

Because I had to use it to block the upcoming draft.

―Quaang!

“Ouch!”

The black sword that was shot was defended with the orb of white flame that Cedric had collected.

However, the sword was harder and sharper than expected. Cedric’s body was disturbed as the aura of the night and the white flame exploded in a mixture of shock beyond imagination.

Without letting go of him, Xian jumped up and landed a thunderbolt on his head.

“Cheak!”

cooong! Cedric fell to the ground due to the recoil.

He hurriedly turned the flames of the white flame he had made from his wings forward to block Xian from approaching.

Kwakwagwagwang!

The inner space of the ‘chain’ was bursting out, and the shock and heat wave were poured into Xian.

What did Xian choose against him?

[ Sword spirit (劍靈) – Changhae (蒼海) ]

A sword imbued with the energy of the sea created by the power of King Haeryung.

Chiyiyi profit! Swing the spear to block the heat wave of Baek Yeom and create a path. Through the cracked flames, he could see Cedric gnashing his teeth.

[ Sangcheon Sword – Island ]

Stepping between them, Xian jumped. Cedric hurriedly made a spell and fired, but to no avail.

Xian could not be stopped with hastily made spells.

and soon.

“Cuck!”

Xian’s sword was driven into his heart.

But not yet. Those made of demonic power cannot die from this.

‘yes!’

Before long, Ravi started absorbing the guy’s power.

“draft!”

Allen, unaware of the fact, narrowed the ‘chain’ by adjusting the fire. Before long, the wall of chains wrapped around Cedric and began to swallow him.

“Quaaagh!”

He could no longer bear the flames of Ravi sucking power from the inside and Altima purifying it from the outside.

yet.

At the end of the white flame burning as if it were the last candle, the bastard was reduced to ashes.

Not even a human corpse was left behind, and it was scattered and disappeared by the blowing wind.

Seeing the guy with not a single bone fragment left, Allen looked at the last spot where he died with a blank expression.

‘done… … is it With this?’

Allen did not realize himself. end with this? really?

After gaining strength, he entered the Cheondo League and pursued the black magician. To one day find your enemies and take your revenge.

But I never thought that day would come so quickly.

“Allen… … .”

Altima murmured as she looked at Allen.

At this moment, although there were other people around, Altima manifested in her original form, not a small bird.

Now that she had lost more power than before, she hadn’t grown smaller, but the sparks that made her up were much more dim.

Allen embraced such an Altima.

“It’s over now.”

“sorry… … .”

“I should say thank you.”

Altima smiled faintly. Now that she had almost exhausted the power of the clear stream, it was a burden for her to manifest like this.

Still, I couldn’t help but come out. Because it was the day when one thing in Allen’s life ended and another started again.

“Thank you, Xian. It’s thanks to you.”

Altima spoke to Cyan over Allen’s shoulder as he was hugged.

Xian did not answer. I just silently nodded my head.

Leaving the two alone, Xian turned his gaze to the surroundings.

* * *

The ants were quickly cleaned up.

There, Ergé, who disposed of the queen ant, played a large role. She killed the queen while Cyan and Allen were in charge of Cedric.

It was possible because he was much weaker after half of the demon’s body had already been destroyed by Xian, but even so, Ergé’s performance was not small.

As soon as the queen was dealt with, the behavior of the ants began to become strange.

It was because the guys who had been steadily pushing in with their own order started twisting like crazy at the same time as the death of the queen.

The guys in the front row didn’t come in and walked around and went crazy, so the guys in the back didn’t even think about entering.

Dealing with the distraught ants was easy.

That’s how the situation is sorted out, and what’s left is the wreckage of the broken city and the corpses of countless ants.

“What about Allen?”

“Please leave me alone for a while.”

While watching the residents begin to clean up the city, Xian and Erze were resting on one side.

It was the result of the mayor forcing him to sit down, saying that he couldn’t put the first-class contributors to chores.

Meanwhile, compared to the two who were quite tired, Hector was leaning against the tree trunk with a brisk look.

“You must be thinking a lot.”

“… … what happened?”

“Ask yourself. I’m not going to speak with my mouth.”

From the atmosphere, she knew something was going on, but she didn’t know the details of Allen’s circumstances.

That’s why I asked, but Xian shook his head. you can’t talk about it yourself

To quench your thirst with water from a canteen and talk like that for a while.

“Hey, master.”

Simultaneously with Hector’s call, Xian raised his head. Not only that, but the residents who were cleaning up the dead bodies of the ants shuddered as they looked at one side.

“Boo, fireworks!”

“what! What else is left!?”

A large flame bursts from one side and blooms.

Seeing the flame red like blood, Xian hardened his face.

no way… … .

“Isn’t that the old man?”

Hector spoke. Xian couldn’t deny that.

The color of that fire, and the feeling of the energy wafting over here, were exactly like his.

After a while.

“young master. You were here too.”

Anger, extinguishing the flames in his hands, appeared at the broken Keldwyn.

“Yeah.”

Xian’s eyes narrowed.

He thought that if he ran away, the family owner might attach a pursuer.

But, I never thought Yeomno would come.

“young master… … .”

Yeomno looked at him with a look that had a lot to say.

Xian’s expression hardened.

What was he really talking about?

Are you talking about coming back? Or is it that the head of the family was furious and ordered the renegade to be killed?

As all kinds of imagination ran through his head, Yeomno let out a small sigh.

Then we talked.

“Did you have dinner?”

It was an ordinary, unmatched word that always came to him.

* * *

“Oh, hello. My name is Erze… … .”

“Nice to meet you. Please call me Yeomno.”

Somehow, a place to have a simple meal over a bonfire was created.

Except for Allen, who had gone somewhere alone, it was the seat where Cyan, Erze, Hector, and Yeomno were sitting.

Yeomno and Erze greeted each other as they scooped the soup they had cooked themselves into a wooden bowl.

“It is very fortunate that the young master is not alone.”

“… … .”

At those words, Xian suddenly remembered what Yeomno had said at the time of admission. They told me to make people when I entered the academy.

At the time, Xian was roughly overlooked, but he did not know the original meaning of Yeomno’s words.

After that, when I was with Ian, Rayna, and Droned, and when I took Ran and Shan during vacation.

Yeomno always wanted Xi’an to be alone.

“… … Did you come after hearing the headmaster’s order?”

“yes.”

Yeomno immediately agreed to Xian’s words, as if he had no intention of hiding them.

“As soon as I heard that the young master rebelled against the general and ran away, the head of the household gave a strict order to bring the young master back. I came voluntarily.”

Does that mean that the head of state agrees with the general’s actions?

Or, apart from that, did he simply pursue Agrid after judging that he had tarnished his name?

“So, the thought of going back with me… … .”

“Sorry, but no.”

Xian replied firmly. No matter how angry the opponent was, it was a line that could never be yielded.

“I see.”

But contrary to expectations, Yeomno laughed. There was no sign of anguish or distress.

On the contrary, a very satisfied expression.

“I only needed to know the will of the young master. I’ll tell you that I couldn’t find it.”

After skipping all the soup, Yeomno stood up.

She didn’t expect to give up so quickly, so Xian couldn’t help but be quite embarrassed.

I was thinking that he might come out to take me by force.

“Would Yeomno be okay with that? Didn’t you come on the orders of the family head?”

“sure. I am not a knight. I am just a hired butler.”

“… … ?”

“It is impossible for me to prioritize the lord’s orders over the will of my family.”

Xian’s will was confirmed, and he was confirmed to be healthy.

With that alone, Yeomno’s purpose was accomplished.

I’ll have to treat the family head a little better, but that side will work somehow.

Yeomno preparing to leave right now.

Xian opened and closed her eyes and spoke to him.

“I’ll go see you again later, so I’ll wait until then.”

He laughed and put the hood back on.

“I will happily wait.”

* * *

All cases have been settled. In the end, the clue to the giant king could not be found. Cedric was not someone to ask about after being captured alive.

Still, it’s not without a harvest. The corpse of the queen ant. Van Asla made medicine from his bodily fluids.

It was a pheromone drug that scared ants away just by spraying them.

“draft… … I guess I’ll have to go back.”

As we were preparing for the search, Allen suddenly came and said so.

that i have to go back I have to go report that I have achieved my revenge on Count Kruger.

“I’m sorry to come all the way here, but… … .”

“it’s okay. Go.”

Xian didn’t catch him. There are certain things that people cannot concede to anyone.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just as he yearned for freedom from the clutches of the marquis, there must be something Allen cannot concede.

“Erge. I think you might as well stop going.”

Rather, Xian recommended that to Erje. She said she followed because she was afraid she would be in danger.

But now there was no such great danger. Currently, the Giants’ Tomb is almost dominated by Giant Ants. Now that I had half the medicine, there was almost no chance of being threatened by monsters.

“me… … Are you in the way?”

Xian shook his head at Erze, who spoke with a trembling voice. can’t get in the way

But we can’t be together forever. From the beginning, finding the giant king had nothing to do with her.

Now is the right time for Allen to leave.

“Go back with Allen. If you have nowhere else to go, they will accept you if you offer to stay as a diner at Count Kruger’s house. He owes me.”

Allen laughed bitterly. Certainly he was indebted to Xian. It is also a very large debt.

Seeing that Xian seemed unwilling to bend his opinion at all, Erze spoke while drooping his shoulders.

“huh… … .”

The two of them left with a request to visit them if they ever return to the empire.

Yeomno leaves, Allen and Erze also leave.

All that was left was Hector.

“Can I go too?”

“Can you?”

“Sheesh.”

There is only one thing to do in the future. The search for the King of Giants, focusing only on that.

“let’s go.”

“Yeah, I got it. Whew.”

Hector sighed, but smiled.

I really don’t like this little guy being shackled, but at least he didn’t get bored walking around the surface.

It’s a pretty satisfying trip for him.

So, the two of them, using Keldwin as their base, roamed every nook and cranny of the tombs of giants.

Half a year passed by.
