189 episodes

Maybe it’s the wrong choice.

You can get powerful power, but if you don’t control it, you could end up with a gruesome death.

But in his head, an endless fear of a mighty enemy was rising.

‘Even if I faced the brothers, the only thing I could do was run away.’

Gilbert clenched his fists in anger.

Continents have several names for the powerful.

An example was the ‘Five Swords’, which is famous for its swords.

Gilbert was proud that he and his brothers were no less strong.

But the battle with Ethan made him realize.

‘They are above us!’

It was not a fight alone.

He was the head of the clan.

So in order to win, you have to take any risk.

It was at this point that Gilbert’s thoughts were increasingly leaning to one side.

“It’s a hasty decision.”

A seductive woman appeared from the darkness.

It was Sophia.

Gilbert wasn’t too surprised by Sophia’s sudden appearance.

Sophia was the wisest and most knowledgeable of the brothers.

He must have noticed what card he was holding.

“no. If it is not now, we may not be able to reach the great task for ever.”

“It’s going to be like messing things up in haste.”

“Even if that happens, you cannot miss the opportunity.”

Sophia frowned.

“It looks like you’ve really made up your mind.”

“okay. So let the other brethren know and prepare.”

Gilbert said softly.

Sophia nodded her head as if she had no choice but to step away.

Left alone, Gilbert felt his heart pound.

‘Even if I have to give my all… … .’

This beating must have come from a strong urge to accomplish a great task.

What was the reason that the blood relatives that were born a hundred years ago have been living in the dark while crawling in the dark?

“I will make sure that He descends on my body.”

It was the return of the Demon King.

Gilbert’s eyes, the head of all blood clans, shone.

The resistance of the new city state.

Inside the pure white main building, several priests were busy coming and going.

“Take the papers to High Priest Opel.”

“yes.”

“How do I do this?”

“I will pass it on to the Holy Father myself.”

Originally, at this time, they were priests to worship and pray to God.

However, with war approaching, even the priests had no choice but to suffer from official duties.

The footsteps of the priests in haste became a vibration and gradually headed underground.

“Noisy.”

Ethan muttered as he looked up at the ceiling.

He is now in the basement of the main building.

The sound of the priests rushing back and forth was stimulating Ethan’s sensitive hearing.

At Ethan’s words, Shunin was startled.

“What does that mean? I didn’t say anything!”

The former Shunin, who tried to be proud even a little, was nowhere to be found.

He was now lying flat before Ethan, pleading for mercy.

Ethan looked at Shunin like he was pathetic.

“I didn’t say anything to you.”

At Ethan’s scornful gaze, Shunin cringed.

If there was one thing Shunin realized while trapped in this basement, it was that there was nothing good about touching Ethan’s heart.

No conciliation or flattery worked for Ethan.

Ethan simply carried out what he had planned thoroughly with a cold mind.

In the process, Ethan did not waver even if he was just a long-term partner of the plan.

‘How could he have such a heart at such an age?’

Shunin swallowed dry saliva.

It was the way of thinking of a person who was thoroughly engrossed in conspiracies and schemes.

Shunin noticed it too late.

After all, Ethan was still young.

‘It’s no wonder a young man would have had such an old-fashioned mindset!’

So Shunin didn’t do anything useless to Ethan anymore.

He simply resigned and accepted his fate.

That was then.

Ethan showed a different behavior than before.

It was approached by the tainted egg that Shunin was so afraid of.

‘what? Ominously why all of a sudden… … .’

Ethan glanced around the subterranean space, where there was no one but Shunin and the tainted egg.

A chill crept up Shunin’s spine.

Soon something astonishing happened.

A certain energy rose from Ethan’s hand and flowed into the tainted egg.

It was an energy that Shunin could not detect.

pounding! pounding!

The contaminated egg, which received an unknown energy, suddenly pulsated like a light.

“Hey, what is it all of a sudden?”

Shunin opened his eyes.

The energy Ethan sent out was not divine power.

‘If it was a divine power, I would have been able to detect it.’

So what does that mean?

It was when Shunin’s doubts led to that.

Ethan mumbled something softly.

There was an evil spirit in that low voice.

Ethan was giving orders to the tainted egg!

“That, that?!”

Shunin realized something and took a step back.

Ethan, who was energizing the contaminated egg with one hand, grabbed Shunin’s collar with the other.

“Uh-huh!”

Ethan lifted Shunin to prevent him from escaping.

He was still chanting with his mouth.

Shunin struggled desperately, trying to get out of Ethan’s grasp.

It was because he realized that the runes Ethan was using were used for dark magic.

“Why, why do you use dark magic… … ?!”

Why is Ethan, a saint candidate who is not a priest, able to use dark magic?

That didn’t mean he couldn’t use divine magic, though.

Can you use divine power and magical power at the same time?

It was beyond common sense.

Then Ethan said to Shunin as if he understood everything.

“Long, so to speak. It looks like you’re looking for an answer.”

A snout was formed on the surface of the contaminated egg, resulting in sharp teeth.

“You don’t have to explain it to the dying man. Now, get ready for the welcome ceremony. Because now is the time.”

Ethan threw Shunin into the snout of the tainted egg.

Those were the last words Shunin heard.

Aww! hard!

Shunin became a living sacrifice and was completely absorbed by the contaminated eggs.

The contaminated egg, which absorbed the life force, began to emit evil energy.

The evil energy slowly overflowed and flowed somewhere in the underground passage.

Ethan watched the scene silently.

A forest near the city of Nouvel.

Elves were staying here.

But now, the dwarves were also there.

Deliman asked Calia.

“Not yet?”

“yes. No response yet.”

Calia answered, still staring at the cave.

“Ew. I’m tired of dying How long do you have to wait?”

Deliman scratched the back of his head and then stretched.

That was then.

Pot!

The spirit magic that spread like a curtain at the entrance of the cave was activated.

Kalia’s eyes twinkled.

“The power is starting to flow. A spirit magic circle is activated!”

As the magic power gradually rose inside the cave, the energy of the spirits gathered in the spirit magic circle and suppressed the magic.

But that alone was not enough.

The elves who experienced the anti-magical war were desperate and found a way to prepare for magic with elemental magic, but they were not comparable to divine power.

Specializing in dealing with magical powers, holy magic was still the top priority.

So, magic leaked through the first elemental magic.

Then, the second installed elemental magic was activated.

In that way, the magic was barely blocked in the third elemental magic circle.

Deliman muttered with wide eyes.

“It’s terrible magic.”

“I agree.”

Otherwise, there would be no way to break through the purifying film made with the elemental magic circle.

“What the hell is that priest doing?”

Deliman looked at the cave with skeptical eyes.

The cave was connected to the basement of the city of Nouvel, where Ethan would be located.

It was because the Dwarves had made a passage through this cave to the underground of the city of Nouvelle.

At Delhi’s question, Calia tilted her head.

“Didn’t you say that you remove the contaminated eggs? This is the reaction.”

This was what Ethan had explained to them.

But Deliman clicked his tongue with his narrowed eyes.

“okay. He’s a priest with great abilities, so he’ll probably get rid of it. But didn’t you tell us how to get rid of it? That’s why elves are… … .”

“What do you think of our elves?”

Callia was furious.

But seeing Deliman’s serious expression, he looked into the cave with a questionable face.

‘Certainly, this dwarf’s words make sense.’

Ethan promised to remove the contaminated eggs.

But no one knew how to do it.

At first, Ethan was unusual for a priest.

Ordinary priests would have been terrified and disgusted when they saw the contaminated eggs created by dark magic.

However, Ethan showed no reaction to the contaminated egg.

‘I even thought about bringing one more drink to the country of Nouvelle.’

Even as an elf, Calia, she could not understand Ethan.

Calia’s eyes staring into the cave filled with darkness.

It’s like watching Ethan’s darkness.

After speaking with Gilbert, Sophia hurriedly returned to the tent.

“Riley.”

And immediately found the owner of the magical sword Velashtan.

Riley flashed from the shade of the tent.

Riley smiled relaxedly and folded her arms.

“I see why you are looking for me. Now do you believe me?”

“Riley, I could sense your presence from afar. Were you watching the battle?”

“okay. right. That priest looked like a monster again. Do you really think you can even kill our chief?”

Riley asked with excitement like a real child.

Sophia was startled and stopped Riley.

“Be careful! What if someone hears it!”

“ha. Sophia, I really don’t think you’re worthy of your name. Are you so restless that there is no other safer place in the world than here?”

The reason Riley was confident was simple.

Sophia’s barracks were hung with various dark magic that Sophia had installed.

Therefore, what was said inside did not leak outside, and an attack from the outside could not do much damage to the barracks.

So Riley was making fun of her mouth.

Sophia looked at Riley.

“Still, it’s something you don’t know. There’s nothing wrong with being careful.”

Riley shrugged as if she couldn’t help it.

“Well, okay. Anyway, after seeing the battle today, you must have made up your mind, right?”

“… … .”

Sophia didn’t approve, but she didn’t deny either.

Riley smiled contentedly.

“I will say that it is not because of your personality, so it seems that you have already made up your mind.”

“I’m going to meet that saint candidate.”

“really?”

“okay. He could break the shackles of hatred as we wish.”

When their conversation was over, something completely unexpected happened.

aww!

Screams began to be heard from the rebel camp where they were.

“what?”

Riley and Sophia stared blankly at each other.

As if there was a fire outside, even inside the tent, the flames outside could be seen faintly.

This was the moment Ethan had prepared for the welcome ceremony.
