[That’s true. It’s good to get them owing us a favor and to confirm how good the Reint rcenaries that Kran is paying attention to.]
Russell’s eyes turned to Bethel who was possessing Lucion.
Knowing what Russell was asking for, Bethel went off for a mont.
[…Hmm. Not everyone is in good shape, so I honestly don’t know.]
“Let’s move first.”
Lucion wanted to cut the front and back and see the Reint rcenary Corps with his own eyes.
* * *
Instead of Bethel, who was possessing Lucion, Russell moved first to the location of the Reint rcenary Corps
Then, over there, Lucion looked around using shadow movent.
It wasn’t a prison but a way down to the basent.
When he saw the blue thread that suddenly appeared from below, he was sure of it.
Reint rcenary Corps was down there.
‘…That’s strange.’
He tried to return to the original flow using Reint rcenary Corps, but he never thought this would help him escape his destiny.
The blue thread aside, Lucion wondered why Russell was standing on the road leading to the prison and not heading to the prison itself.
“Teacher? Is there anything I shouldn’t have seen below?”
[No, there’s no such thing.]
Bethel replied.
[Lucion.]
“Yes, sir.”
[There’s a prison down here… It’s too small. Are you okay? You have bad mories of small rooms.]
Just how narrow it was that it got Russell worried?
Lucion replied a beat late.
“It’s okay. It will probably be fine.”
‘Perhaps,’ Lucion murmured.
“It’s fine if I just go down and co back. I can free the Reint rcenaries and explain the situation.”
At Hu’s suggestion, Lucion pondered for a mont before deciding to go down.
“Let’s go down.”
Lucion led the way down.
It wasn’t because Hu was unreliable.
He suddenly beca curious.
Would he be okay in a small place?
‘I don’t think that’s a very good idea, Lord Lucion.’
Bethel slipped in to talk to him.
‘Why?’
‘Lord Lucion is difficult to handle.’
Lucion felt the corners of his mouth rise at Bethel’s reply.
‘It’s okay.’
Lucion went down the stairs with footsteps as light as his answer.
He arrived at the underground prison sooner than expected.
It seed to be three basent floors high.
Rattle.
Lucion was about to open the door but then he found out it was locked so he called Hu.
“Hu. Open it.”
Bang!
The door fell off with a loud sound.
“Quietly…”
Lucion stopped talking as he turned his back and swept the mask away.
He was a step behind.
―Wow! The door turned into paper! Ratta wants to see it one more ti!
Ratta was so excited that he could hear her stamping her feet in the shadow.
Coong!
Bang!
[Cough…!]
Soon the other door fell, and Russell desperately held back his laughter.
“…Oh, I’m sorry.”
Hu hesitated, then imdiately bowed his head.
“No. I’m relieved that it’s pierced.”
Lucion pulled out a sword from his waist.
It was Bethel, not him, who moved.
[It’s coming.]
The door to the underground prison was broken, so of course the soldiers guarding the underground prison would co running.
“Bethel.”
[I’m listening.]
“Run wild.”
Lucion allowed Bethel to perform the sword dance.
She must have been waiting for this.
[I’ll live up to your expectations.]
Bethel’s joy was conveyed to Lucion.
But when Lucion was about to move forward, Russell briefly grabbed him by the shoulder.
[Bethel. Wrist and ankle. You know, right?]
[I know. You don’t have to worry.]
Bethel sounded as if she was suppressing a laugh.
Only then did Russell withdraw, and Lucion turned his head to look at Hu.
“Rental.”
“Yes, Hal-nim.”
“Break them down.”
“Of course. I’ll follow through and deal with them one by one.”
Hu smiled brightly.
At his answer, Lucion walked forward.
As soon as the soldiers who rushed to the loud noise found Lucion, they prepared to shout that there was an intruder.
But they couldn’t.
Nobody could.
Bethel used her force, and they were busy shaking their legs, weighed down by her force.
[Lord Lucion.]
“I’m listening.”
[In any fight, the first priority is to take the initiative.]
Lucion’s hand, holding the sword, rose up.
[Once fear is ford like a dam that has already collapsed, it can never be stopped.]
Bethel strengthened Lucion’s legs.
Lucion paused at the feeling of his muscles boiling.
[Rember this feeling, Lord Lucion.]
He kicked the air as if his body was bouncing for a mont.
His movents were so light as if he were walking on water.
He didn’t know how many tis his legs moved, but before he knew it, he faced the soldier of Chonest who was the closest to him.
Slash.
Bethel didn’t slow down and used her strength to cut the soldier’s wrist.
‘…?’
Lucion was taken aback by the ridiculously neat cut.
It was an admirable skill.
[The action is simple.]
Bethel was already turning Lucion’s head and looking at the next enemy.
[Lord Lucion’s eyes should be on the opponent, not the one who’s already knocked it down.]
Thud.
Light footsteps.
Swoosh!
The sound of the wind blowing fiercely and swiftly as the sword was swung.
And bursting drops of blood.
This beat continued every ti she cut a person.
“…Huft. Huft.”
The sound of his heartbeat beca rough, and Lucion unknowingly inhaled the breath that filled his lungs as Bethel brushed off the blood on his sword.
[Good job.]
Bethel praised Lucion, feeling his body trembling.
Although it was only for a short ti, Lucion’s body was changing through rehabilitation training enough to endure the real battle.
Lucion was so out of breath that he took off half of his mask and turned his head away.
Tap.
Perhaps this one was the last one alive, and with Hu’s hand, the person collapsed to the ground with his head turned more than 180 degrees.
Looking at the corpse with a missing wrist and a twisted head, Lucion put in strength to his trembling hands.
‘I’ll be able to reach that level soday, right?’
‘Yes, that’s right. Lord Lucion can do it.’
Bethel also saw the future Lucion had drawn, so she answered positively.
“You are out of breath. Are you okay?”
Hu eagerly wiped his bloodless hands on his clothes and then searched his pockets for water.
Lucion’s head shook slightly.
He felt so drained.
The sword in his hand now was too heavy.
[Good job, Lucion, Bethel.]
Russell looked at Lucion, pleased.
The actual match would make Lucion stronger.
[Is it okay if I release my possession for a mont?]
Bethel asked.
After taking a gulp of water, Lucion replied.
“No. Not yet. I can still hold on.”
The Reint rcenaries Corps was not yet part of the organization.
He didn’t know how they would react, so he had to be prepared.
‘My darkness is fine.’
His darkness was nearly half gone because of the possession, but it was rising fast again.
Lucion put on his mask again properly and walked to where Chonest’s soldiers ca from.
His legs trembled with each step.
―Lucion’s legs are shaking. Ratta thinks it’s better to take a break.
Ratta poked her head out of the shadow.
“I can walk.”
Lucion replied nonchalantly, but Russell looked at him anxiously.
They would arrive at the prison soon.
He walked down a short hallway and saw a narrow prison through the gaps in the open door.
Lucion’s fingers stretched out and froze.
[Lucion…?]
Russell cautiously called out to Lucion.
“…I am fine.”
Lucion’s voice trembled.
Thump. Thump.
Before he knew it, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
[No, you’re not fine. Your heart is beating so fast.]
Bethel forced Lucion to move his body and turn his head.
[Slowly breathe out, Lord Lucion.]
Bethel even breathed out on behalf of Lucion, who might have forgotten how to breathe.
“Hal-nim, I’ll be right back.”
Hu bowed his head slightly and entered the prison.
‘…Ugh.’
The disgusting sll made Hu tremble and block his nose.
There were quite a few people in prison.
Are they all the Reint rcenaries?
Hu saw Russell following him, but Russell shrugged.
[I don’t know either. I’m good, but I can’t tell who they are by just looking at their faces. It’s a fortune teller’s job.]
There was nothing he could do.
Hu spoke calmly.
“If you’re Reint rcenaries, can you raise your hand?”
[…?]
Russell was at a loss for words.
Raise hands.
[Hu… Are you serious about that?]
“I don’t know which one is the Reint rcenaries.”
Hu whispered quietly.
“Then I’ll turn around and ask Hal again.”
[No, I’ll be back.]
He only left for a while, but he was worried about Lucion.
[‘…I knew this would happen. I should have tried harder to stop him. I should have spoken more firmly.’]
Overcoming one thing didn’t an he naturally overca the other.
[Luci… on?]
Russell was surprised when he ran into Lucion imdiately.
Lucion stopped in front of the entrance to the prison.
“…Why are you so surprised? As if you’ve seen a ghost.”
Lucion’s mask turned yellow.
[Are you fine getting up like this? Shouldn’t you be sitting down for a second?]
“The dicine that was prescribed to last ti… I kept it just in case. I hate dicine, but it can’t be helped.”
His words were thorny.
What the thorns were headed for, Russell didn’t know.
“I am fine.”
[Is it true, Bethel?]
Russell asked Bethel because he needed to be certain.
[No, Lord Lucion is not okay.]
[Lucion.]
At Bethel’s words, Russell called out to Lucion sternly.
“I believe in Hu, but it is difficult for him to solve. You have to get the timing right.”
Lucion took out a contact item and shook it.
Crack.
Lucion was startled by the sound of sothing breaking.
Soon there was a loud sound of footsteps.
“Hal-nim.”
Hu rushed over and called out to Lucion.
He was smiling.
“I have let the Reint rcenaries escape by force. So you don’t have to force yourself to co this way.”
Hu pointed to the door to the prison.
“I will continue to take on tasks that are difficult for Hal-nim to do.”
“…Okay.”
A slight laugh was heard from Lucion.
It seed he had underestimated Hu.
* * *
“…They really raised their hands.”
After using shadow movent, in case Lucion was curious, Hu spoke first.
“Hands?”
“Yes. This hand.”
Hu pointed to his hand.
[We didn’t know which one are the Reint rcenaries, so he asked them to raise their hands.]
Russell made up for Hu’s lack of words.
“…Puha!”
Lucion smiled.
It was really the kind of thing Hu would do.
“Did I… make a mistake?”
When Lucion laughed holding his stomach, Hu clenched his hands tightly looking uneasy.
“No, no, no. What do you an by a mistake? Good job.”
Lucion tapped Hu on the shoulder.
“Let’s go in.”
After exiting the room, he headed to the place where Miella and the Head of Chonest were talking.
Outside the room, mbers of the organization and the soldiers of Chonest were already keeping each other in check.
[I guess it’s already on fire?]
Russell said in an excited voice.
Regardless, Lucion calmly walked between the gaps they had created and opened the door nonchalantly.
They all looked at Lucion with ridiculed eyes.
Isn’t he acting overboard?
“…Are you saying you want to start a war right now?”
Through the gap in the door, he could hear the Head of Chonest raising his voice.
It was like dynamite with the wisp on fire already inside, so even though Lucion and Hu entered the room, only a few people saw them.
Kran looked at Lucion for a mont before handing the contact item he was holding in his hand.
“Mr. Quate.”
Lucion smiled and called out Quate quietly.
Quate looked around and nodded lightly as if the mission had been completed.
‘You’ve already killed all seven people?’
Lucion hid his surprise.
No matter what thod he used to kill them, he was very satisfied with Bethel’s discernnt in finding the assassins and their skills.
If he supported them, surely, he would beco stronger in the future.
Possibility.
It was one of the most important factors when investing in sothing.
