How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Episode 42

Allen went down the ruins.

Fortunately, Professor Derek’s traces were not cut off. It must mean that he is quite confused.

‘draft.’

Are you okay, alone?

I’m sorry that I seemed to have gotten involved because of myself.

At the same time, there was also a bitter laugh.

It was right after I had just been worried, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine seeing Xian collapse.

Because he was a guy who seemed to stand upright and upright anytime, anywhere.

I was advancing deeper and deeper into the ruins.

Allen has arrived at a place.

Unlike the dilapidated neighborhood, it is a laboratory that shows traces of people entering and leaving until recently.

He put strength into the hand holding the sword and went inside.

Just as expected.

“Ah, student Allen.”

Professor Derek was there.

However, the appearance was quite bizarre.

A figure holding onto one side of his face with cold sweat dripping from his entire body.

It was visible through the fingers covering one side of his face.

Dark red whites and black pupils.

The black magician’s mark.

‘Advent.’

The act of accepting the existence of a demon into one’s body.

Allen’s eyes narrowed.

You’ve crossed the line, Professor Derek.

“Sah, save me, Student Allen! Me, I just didn’t know. I didn’t know it was something like this. I won’t use it again, so please save me!”

One eye and face that have changed grotesquely. Professor Derek crawled on the ground and reached out to Allen.

Unlike Beriam, he did not knowingly make a pact with the devil.

It’s just that the ‘blood stone’ I accidentally picked up was the devil’s.

But if you had Advent, it would be a different story.

Advent does not take place without the permission of the host.

Allen looked down at Professor Derek, who accepted the descent halfway through his body, with a cold expression.

“I’ll save you, Professor.”

“Ah, student Allen… … .”

Professor Derek wept. He grabbed Allen’s crotch.

He does not know the identity of the bloodstone, the existence of the black magician, or what the hell world is doing.

I was just responding to a sudden thought.

I want to get out of this place

But suddenly, it started to take away.

It made him feel the fear of never coming back.

The only hope was Allen, who was in front of him.

“You’ll be fine in the other world.”

“Ha, student?”

Allen swung the knife at Professor Derek who had approached him without hesitation.

“Hee!”

Professor Derek crouched down and tried to avoid the sword, but as a researcher, there was no way he could avoid Allen’s sword.

The sword cut right through Derek’s neck.

however.

Kang!

got stuck

Allen’s eyes widened.

Professor Derek’s neck, where an ugly lump of flesh swelled.

Then it rips apart and turns into a mouth with saw-like teeth.

Those teeth were blocking Allen’s sword.

“Hey, professor friend. You shouldn’t trust people so easily. This guy is going to kill us completely.”

“Huh… … !”

Professor Derek frothed and fainted at the sight of a strange mass of flesh swelling from his neck.

“hmm? Did you pass out? You are a boring person.”

Allen gritted his teeth as he looked at Professor Derek’s neck as he spoke with his sword in his mouth.

“Altima!”

Hwareuk.

Blue flames rose from the sword.

His mouth widened in surprise, and he spat out the sword.

“Ah, follow me! what is this!”

Allen widened his distance and gripped the sword with both hands.

Receiving Allen’s glaring gaze at a glance, his mouth smirked.

“That blue guy over there looks a little funny.”

The flesh on which the mouth rested swelled and hardened and twisted.

A scythe like a praying mantis grew at the end of a tree branch that grew long.

Whiik!

Awesome!

“Hoo.”

Allen cut off the flying scythe with his arm.

The mouth was amazed.

“Cutting off Delis’s arm is quite a feat. Ah, Delith is one of the monsters I raise… … .”

“Cleansing area, wave.”

A fan-shaped field of fire rose along the horizontally cut sword path. Wave-like waves of blue flame aimed at him and attacked him.

The boy squinted his eyes and ran backwards.

Allen charged at him in a straight line, piercing through the flames he had created.

“what? Aren’t you hot?”

“… … .”

Kang!

Allen swung his sword at him.

The sword was blocked by the grown monster’s arm. This time it was not a scythe, but an arm full of thorns.

Although he succeeded in cutting off that arm this time as well.

“Kuk!”

Shush shush shush!

Countless thorns were shot from there and rushed at Allen.

For an instant, Allen surrounded the flames and burned the thorns.

When he raised his head after blocking it, another monster’s body was already extending from the nape of his neck.

Even after cutting and cutting, something constantly sprouted from him.

Some had arms with long claws and some looked like reptilian tails.

even.

-Kang!

A face resembling an alligator sprouted and attempted to chew Allen’s head whole and swallow it.

“It’s okay, you. If it’s okay with you, would you like to come in as my test subject? There are a few parts that might suit you. How about it? I can make it twice as hard as now.”

“Doc… … Hit it.”

Arlen let out a breath as he cut off the ogre’s thick arm.

‘ha… … .’

It was the same as before that the workshop continued without a break, but the density of each one was different.

More than 100 bodies of different monsters that fell on the floor.

It meant that he had blocked 100 attacks that would devour him at any moment.

I was trying hard to block it, but honestly, it was overwhelming.

‘One breath… … . If only I had one more breath.’

If it had been, I wouldn’t have been so pushed.

stamina goes down There was never much magic left.

– Hwareuk!

Altima talked to him.

tell me to run away

I said the same thing as before, but the temperature of the words was different from then.

It must mean that she is also feeling a considerable sense of crisis.

but.

‘… … no.’

His answer did not change.

“Gig-kick, it doesn’t change anything even if you only caught about 100 of them.”

As he said that, he took out the monster’s arm again. An arm with a scythe identical to the one we saw earlier.

“There are still about nine hundred and eighty of them left, so you have to cut them all before you give up?”

“… … what?”

scythe falls down

Allen hurriedly stopped it, but was unable to safely stop it.

Cheng Kang!

The sword body, cut in half, suddenly fell to the ground.

Allen’s pupils began to shake.

The mouth on Professor Derek’s neck parted and giggled.

“No, well, since this body is not in good shape, we can’t take it all out, so why don’t we try harder?”

Professor Derek’s frail body. Since even that had only descended half way, the number of monsters he could pull out was only a tiny fraction.

But even some of them are enormous.

Dark Eater. An existence from hell that enslaves a thousand monsters on its body.

The number has decreased a bit lately, and about 100 of them just fell off, but that wasn’t a problem for him at all.

Because there was still a long time left.

Took.

Allen’s hand gave way and the half-cut sword he was holding fell to the ground.

The guy clicked his tongue.

“Have you given up? Don’t worry, self-conscious or not, I don’t discriminate.”

The body of the guy who held it high, no, the body of the monster he was working on was cracked open.

“It’s all going to be the same anyway.”

Hundreds of thousands of teeth were sprouting from inside the five-pronged teeth.

It fell to swallow Allen.

“… … Altima.”

Allen called her name in a subdued voice.

give up?

No way.

It doesn’t matter if the opponent is hundreds or thousands. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a single intact sword left in your hand.

His mind wasn’t weak enough to break down with something like that, and the scars he had carved were not shallow.

he spread his hands

Roaring!

Blue flames rose from his hand and burned as if they were united into one point.

What appeared before long was a bluish sphere.

Clear flow jade.

The only legacy of the clan in his hands, who had no choice but to flee, leaving the burning village behind before being taken by the Kruger family.

It was said that the ancient spirits were asleep – and actually asleep – the sacred spirit of the clan.

“I’ll spend a little.”

Faaa!

Waves of blue flame began to spread throughout the ruins centered on the mighty Orb.

All four sides, from the floor to the ceiling, were covered with a curtain of fire.

Eventually, it became a coffin that confined the space and weaved the two together.

[ Purification area, chain ]

The reason why Allen usually carries a sword. It was only to avoid wasting Altima’s power.

He was a sergeant, not a swordsman.

* * *

I took the sword from the body of the last monster.

The sword that had pierced through the hard skin and muscle and was driven into his heart was retrieved by Xian.

I looked around as I wiped off the blood on my sword.

The corpses of monsters piled up like a mountain caught my eye.

I killed all the monsters in this place without missing a single one.

‘It took a little while.’

I wanted to finish it quickly, but numbers are numbers, so it took time.

Moreover, trying to make sure not to miss a single mouse seemed to make it even worse.

Will Allen be okay? Have you ever encountered a black magician?

With a little worry, Sian threw himself in the direction Allen had disappeared.

and at the place of arrival.

‘This… … ?’

A curtain of blue fire was seen enveloping the laboratory.

Allen’s technique, Purification Zone, Chain.

A skill that creates a hexahedral tube of fire to trap enemies and create an advantageous battlefield.

Xian narrowed his eyes and looked over the flickering flames.

‘Is that the warlock Allen was after?’

Allen and the enemy in battle.

He was attacking Allen by pouring out countless monsters.

And in Allen’s hands against him.

‘Isn’t that a sword?’

A blue orb, not a sword, was floating.

It was amazing.

The energy that Allen poured out was tingling all the way to this distant place.

It was completely different from the time when mana was measured in the elemental magic class the other day.

At that time, Allen did not show much difference from other ordinary elemental spirits.

The energy I felt in him now was never that much.

―Quaaang!

―Quaaa!

Allen was completely overpowering the enemy.

The monsters the black magician pulled out were engulfed in blue flames and turned to ashes, and he couldn’t even lay a finger on Allen.

In the meantime.

―Quaang!

The warlock was hit by a huge blow and fell out.

Still, a tough guy who rises again like an undead.

However, something appeared behind him.

‘what?’

For a moment there was confusion.

The warlock who stood up again ran at Allen as before. And then I fall, get up again and run.

In the meantime, a small shadow was escaping from behind.

It was the pinnacle of superficiality.

Allen is completely oblivious to the shadow falling behind him while dealing with the black magician in front of him.

Xian pondered for a moment on which side he should join, but his contemplation was short-lived.

‘yes!’

Ravi points to one side.

nod

Xian nodded and headed toward the aisle without hesitation.

It was the direction in which the small shadow protruding from behind had disappeared.
