How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives - How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives chapter 164

Chapter 164

The storm’s aftermath overturned the soil and trees in the vicinity.

A huge crater had formed at the epicenter of the storm, and all the trees around it had fallen on the other side.

Xian stood in the middle.

“Sian Agrid!”

Elia’s eyes hardened.

Just a little while ago, she sensed a new intruder who had invaded this space, the ‘temple of the forest’.

However, with the thought of dealing with the psyche in front of me first, I completed the magic and flew it, but I never thought that the intruder would break in so quickly.

Even that cyan agrid.

“Did you know not only the Dragon King but also Psyche? They eat together very evenly.”

Elia’s mouth twitched.

She thinks Xian is an apostle of the Demon Dragon King.

If that alone was already unacceptable, to think that he was also acquainted with Psyche.

Thanks to that, my love for him only deepened.

“… … .”

Xian saw Elia like that.

Eyes full of life as if they had no intention of hiding them.

However, for now, the first thing to do is to look at Psyche.

He approached Psyche without letting go of his guard against Elia.

Psyche now had the appearance of a child Xian had never seen before, but there was no problem recognizing it.

“What the hell is going on? rumors?”

“That b*tch is imprisoned. The location is on the side of the temple over there.”

Psyche spoke only the necessary information in a quick tone.

Xian glanced at the temple in the distance.

When Psyche’s scales sent a signal and entered Yuseol’s room, he guessed from the fact that he had entered a strange space, not an inn.

What is Ellia doing to Yuseol?

But I hope it was real.

“They’re trying to steal Seol-ah’s body.”

With a word that Psyche added, even the last question was resolved.

take away the body

I don’t know how to do it, but Elia seems to be able to do that.

‘That’s how I’ve been living so far.’

How is the hero of the old era, when giants were rampaging, still active?

Even while holding the important position of the country’s queen.

All the secrets are out.

Elia asked, looking at the convincing Xian.

“My knights must have been guarding the outside, but how did you get in? Did you really kill them all?”

“No way. I just passed out and came in.”

I couldn’t completely hide myself until I entered the room of Yu Seol.

Because of this, the knights who encountered them roughly covered their faces with a cloth and entered while knocking out all of them.

In fact, you shouldn’t even do that. If you get caught, a big commotion will happen.

But still, it was better than killing.

“It is absurd. To enter the residence where the queen of a country is staying, with mud feet. Even if you don’t get caught right away, there will be a commotion when the fainted knights start to wake up.”

It was Elia who was speaking solemnly, but she wasn’t going to budge at such words.

He spoke while raising his sword.

“I just need to get Yuseol before I wake up and go back.”

At those words, Elia twitched her eyebrows and snapped her fingers.

Then, numerous spears of ice were created in the air behind her and fell down on Xian.

Xian changed the black sword into white fire and swung it.

The pouring white flame swept away all the ice spears and melted them.

“Psyche. You go get Yu Seol.”

“… … I’ll ask you here.”

Psyche nodded at Xian’s words.

It was uneasy, but there was no other way than to entrust Elia’s partner to Xian.

In that case, it is best for him to go to rescue Seol-ah.

She slightly re-timed, and started running quickly.

“Where!”

Seeing Psyche jumping out like a squirrel, Elia raised her hand.

however.

– Whiik!

Xian made a platform to come and jumped up and swung his sword at Elia’s neck.

Kagaga River!

The sword was blocked by Elia’s transparent ice wall, but thanks to that, she was able to cancel the magic that tried to intercept Psyche.

Not yielding to being blocked once, Xian swung his sword again and again.

Kang! Can-can!

With each swing, the ice wall is hollowed out.

Elia had to keep replenishing her magical energy, and in the meantime, Psyche was already far from sight.

“Tsk.”

Elia clicked her tongue.

It doesn’t matter. No matter how far apart you are, with a little time to focus, you can catch up in no time.

‘Because I’ve also placed a guardian.’

In addition, a guardian for Man-e-Hana is also placed in the temple.

It is said to be a demon of the highest rank, but now Psyche has lost most of her powers.

You won’t be able to break through the Guardian.

‘I just have to deal with this guy and go.’

She thought as she looked down at Xian, who had landed below the ground.

Apostle of the Demon Dragon King. A black magician who has a strange friendship with Psyche.

I don’t know how he tricked the saint of the Purification Church, but he couldn’t avoid his eyes.

That guy was definitely the strongest and most cunning warlock he had ever seen.

She glared at Xian and waved her arm.

Koo Goo Goo Goo!

Then the ground shook and began to crack apart.

The solid ground began to sway like waves, and Xian swayed like a weed on top of the waves.

‘The land.’

Xian lowered his body to balance, and at the same time created footholds for auras everywhere.

Just like the ghost did in the fight against the Demon Dragon King.

Then, stepping on the footrest and jumping off the unstable ground.

It is better to fight in the air than to fight on land controlled by the enemy.

“If it’s here, there won’t be any interruptions.”

So, I’m going to get rid of it completely.

As the first step to catching the Demon Dragon King, he said he would deal with you, the apostle, first.

Elia clasped her hands together. Then, the air on both sides of Xian shook, and the space itself began to compress.

Xian hurriedly stepped on the footrest in front and jumped backwards.

Kwaaang!

The place where Xi’an had just been was mercilessly crushed.

Xian changed Baekhwa into Changhae and swung it.

Charleuk!

The sword, released along with the stream of water, wrapped around the spherical ice wall Elia had spread out.

Holding it, Xian rose and landed on it.

“dare… … .”

Seeing Xian landing on the ice wall surrounding her, Elia wrinkled her face.

Even if it wasn’t directly stepped on, it was humiliating enough to be comparable to that.

However, regardless of that, Xian lowered his sword.

Kwajik!

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

The Thunderstorm sword holding a thunderbolt pierced the ice wall and scattered lightning.

However, Elia had already abandoned the ice wall and fled.

at the same time.

“!”

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

The ice wall that Xian was stepping on exploded.

He reacted momentarily and tried to avoid it, but it exploded faster than that, so ice shards hit Xian’s whole body.

The clothes are torn and numerous scars are formed on the skin.

The wounds that were really scratched were immediately healed by the aura of the night, but some of them were deeper than expected.

When Xian squinted at the throbbing pain, Elia took the opportunity to continue the offensive.

Kwakwagwagwang!

The space around Xian exploded one after another, driving Xian out.

His sword hadn’t reached Elia yet, but Xian’s body was forming scars one by one.

“Even the power of an apostle is no big deal.”

A crackling sphere of lightning appeared in Elia’s hand.

She scattered it across the sky, and lightning fell all over the land with a roar of thunder.

Koo Goo Goo!

The already unstable ground was shattered and shattered by the pouring lightning.

A land that is directly hit by Elia’s disaster-level magic.

Landing on top of it, Xian took out a white sword with a blue light.

Geomryeong 10,000-year-old ice crystal.

Let him swing the sword as it is.

– Damn it!

The rocking earth froze as it was.

In a world frozen in white. Elia looked at it and hardened her expression.

Stepping on the frozen ground, Xian struck the sword.

A huge aura of cold air fell towards Elia.

“Kuk!”

She hurriedly built an ice wall to block it, but to no avail.

Xian’s aura, forged from ice crystals, pierced Elia’s wall without hesitation and cut her body.

A wound in an oblique line extending from the shoulder to the side.

Elia’s eyes widened as she saw her own blood dripping.

It’s not really a deep wound.

But, how long had it been since he had suffered a wound to the point of seeing blood?

Xian swung his sword without stopping.

At the same time, a rain of sword energy began to pour down on Elia.

The exact opposite situation.

Sweat dripped down Elia’s back as she blocked the sword and twisted her body to avoid it.

‘Than you think… … .’

It was stronger than I thought.

At that fact, at the fact that she had such a thought, Elia gritted her teeth.

A guy who is not even the Demon Dragon King himself, but an apostle!

Contrary to her heart, however, she could hardly repel Xian’s attack.

“… … .”

Originally, Xian’s specialty was dealing with wizards.

What I’ve always done since I was young was sparring with Yeomno.

It didn’t stop there, and I came to deal with the demon dragon king in the hell world.

Even though it was a 1:3 battle involving the Ghost Demon and Psyche, all of that experience was melted into Xian’s mind anyway.

‘Queen Elia.’

Definitely one of the best wizards I’ve ever seen.

But compared to that huge dragon, it was nothing.

“It’s nothing compared to the Demon Dragon King.”

When Xian said that, Elia’s eyes instantly became bloodshot red.

The moment when she, in a fit of heat, gathers her mana and conjures a spell.

Xian quickly closed the distance with her.

[ Heavenly Sword (霜天劍) – Heavenly Thunder (天雷)]

And to her, a bolt of lightning fell.

A lightning bolt spread through ice crystals. Huge white lightning rushed towards Elia, and Elia opened her eyes wide.

‘Die.’

Only that thought filled my head.

Hundreds of years from the completion of soul transfer in the past to today.

The word death was the word most distant from her.

However, at this moment, the death that he thought was the most distant thing in his life was felt in Xian’s sword.

Just like the first time I saw the Demon Dragon King in the past.

‘Anymore… … .’

I can’t help but cherish it.

A glare burst from her eyes.

The essence of the World Tree that was dug out of the World Tree and swallowed long ago.

It began to grow explosively in her body.

“!”

The world started turning upside down.

* * *

Psyche ran with all her might.

Eventually, she arrived at the temple. After taking a breath for the first time there, she ran into the entrance.

however.

-bang!

“evil!”

As soon as it entered, it was swept away by a large shockwave and bounced off.

Having flown as large as her small body, she spun around in the air and landed.

The shock came to the point that his whole body twisted, but it wasn’t so much that he couldn’t move.

“What the hell!?”

She raised her head.

– This is another small guest.

A giant, tall enough to reach the ceiling, was looking down at her.
