90 – Ruse and Scheme (14)

Ragnar was the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings. But he didn’t mean to be an easy boss.

He certainly has the strength to be worthy of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the forces he commands are formidable.

Likewise, like the Four Heavenly Kings, the number of secrets was hidden.

A space where you can’t get help from your colleagues. The main character is dragged into the soul prison and has a fight.

The soul of a person who is defeated is destroyed as it is. Lose the body

“This is the soul prison…”

The sound of music echoed in the dark space where the cry of the soul echoed.

Tranquil Forest. It was quite similar to the swamps we wandered through to find Cerberus.

Although the background was modeled after a forest, the thick scent of death was emanating from it.

A small beam of light fell in the blurry space. Light came down like a lantern in the open sea.

But I wasn’t fooled. I already knew the identity of light.

“Don’t be silly and come out.”

At my words, the beam of light gradually faded away. At the same time, huge eyes appeared.

‘How did you find out… ?’

A voice full of anger rang out, but there was no particular agitation.

“There’s no way you wouldn’t know such an obvious number.”

If you follow the beam of light, you will be surrounded by zombies and put in a disadvantageous situation.

‘But it’s useless. You’re destined to die here anyway.’

Along with Ragnar’s voice, countless corpses rose up. Countless zombies rushed towards me with their eyes shining.

Created a giant ice blunt and swung it. After all, zombies were nothing more than trivial mobs.

As expected, each time the club was swung, the zombies fell helplessly.

However, there was no time to deal with the endless zombies. In order to get out of the spirit world, he had to find Ragnar’s body.

‘A cane. I need to find a staff.’

After all, Ragnar’s main body is a staff. Find the staff in the dark space and smash it to escape.

There is only one way to find the wand in the darkness where you can’t see an inch ahead.

Five lanterns. If you find a lantern somewhere in the dark and light it up, the surroundings will become brighter.

When all the lanterns were lit, the darkness completely receded and I was able to find the staff.

It’s simpler than I thought, but the level of difficulty wasn’t low because the enemies were pouring out endlessly.

But I knew another way to break.

‘In the first place, the position where the staff comes out is fixed.’

The position of the wand does not change. After the first round, I still remembered the location.

After this fact spread to the community, Ragnar became the weakest boss.

It was the same reason why Erina dared to confront Ragnar head-on, even though Erina tried so hard.

‘An opportunity to kill the Four Heavenly Kings.’

It was also a genius opportunity to absorb Ragnar’s power.

He is the Four Heavenly Kings. Now that we are halfway through, if we kill Ragnar, we will be able to become stronger faster than planned.

And it was clear that if he could take away the power he possessed, his progress would be easier.

‘Let’s do it.’

I made up my mind and ran in the direction my memory led me to.

Right from the first position, in the direction the light beam appears. If you follow it, you will arrive at the place where the staff is.

From ordinary zombies to monsters, the enemies I’ve seen so far rushed at me in piles.

Even monsters that would have been stumped in the past could now be defeated with a single sword.

I easily defeated the monster and made it through. The attack was proceeding smoothly. At this rate, I thought I would be able to quickly escape the mental prison.

However, my expectations were wrong.

“Uh… ?”

The seat where the cane should have been was empty.

I was embarrassed for a while, but I quickly left my seat. A huge gust of wind blew the surroundings away.

‘Yes. Wander forever like this and face death.’

The earth shook with a booming voice. We calmly assessed the situation and changed our strategy.

There was a strong possibility that the position of the wand had changed as a change in the second playthrough.

Then, even if it takes time, you can light a lantern and find it.

Still, this is within the expected range.

I have already experienced countless situations different from memories. It was too much to be surprised.

Wandering through the woods and recalling memories. But there was nothing where the lamp should be.

“Damn it…”

The position of the wand and the position of the lamp have all changed. Since this happened, I had no choice but to wander around and search.

In the meantime, monsters came endlessly. Concerned that it would be a long-term battle, he had to conserve his mana as much as possible.

While wandering through the maze-like forest, I couldn’t find any sign of a lantern, let alone a staff.

‘Damn it. Where the hell are you?’

I calmly looked around but couldn’t find anything. And familiar monsters were coming.

Wolf. Chimera. Get out. Cerberus. Each one is not an easy opponent.

“hahahaha…”

I threw out the knife with a laugh. Now, far from being afraid, my heart was filled with disgust.

“Lady Erina! You need to calm down!”

Kayla held her Erina’s shoulder. However, her hand was shaken off by her rough touch.

Erina tore Ragnar’s body apart as he fell to her floor. Her eyes were bloodshot red as she breathed heavily.

But she knew her too. The fact that everything is useless.

The surrounding area was in ruins. All of the Demon King’s forces were defeated, and Rose, Ragnar’s right-hand man, also died.

Celica was calming the children at the monastery, while Kayla and Erina stood by Seohyun, who had lost her mind.

Erina hugged Seohyun, who had lost her mind. She cried bitterly and rubbed her face on her knees.

“Why did you do such a reckless thing… !”

Erina, who had already dealt with Ragnar, knew the situation Seohyun was in.

Endless darkness. Invisible way out. The souls of monsters pouring out endlessly.

I had to wander in the forest where I couldn’t see an inch in front of me because of the song and screams of the soul.

The first time Erina was imprisoned in her soul prison, she almost fell to her knees in fear and terror.

Even then, she was able to get out because her owner’s voice protected her.

However, there was no one by Seohyun’s side right now.

Because she knew that fact, Erina’s anxiety amplified.

As she panicked, she stroked Seohyun’s face. With her eyes closed, her limp body showed no signs of moving.

“Lady Erina. Now I have no choice but to trust my lord and wait…”

“Shut up…! Shut up!”

Erina pushed Kayla. She pushed her shoulder with a rough hand.

Kayla, who had barely managed to keep her center, held back the rage in her heart.

I couldn’t fight in an emergency situation like now. Again, Kayla had to take a step back.

“You must trust your lord. I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

Kyla was equally worried about her Seohyun. Still, she believed in her own lord.

After hunting numerous monsters in the snow mountain and acquiring the power of the snow woman, Seohyun became strong enough to face most monsters alone.

The Four Heavenly Kings, Ragnar. It was a tough opponent, but Seohyun had a good chance of winning.

And I could tell that he wasn’t dead yet.

‘If my lord dies, I’ll die too.’

In any case, if Seohyeon is defeated by Ragnar, Kayla will die along with him according to the dragon knight’s oath.

The fact that Kayla was still fine meant that Seohyun was also alive.

Kayla chose to wait for her, trusting her own master.

On the other hand, Erina fell into despair as she tore her hair.

The calm demeanor of a moment ago had disappeared. She cried endlessly like a child who lost her parents.

Looking at her, Kayla sent her disgusted eyes.

I fully knew Erina’s concern for Seohyun, but she didn’t trust Seohyun at all.

She always thought of herself as a subordinate and dismissed it as a being to be protected.

Kayla didn’t like that fact.

“I’m sure you’ll be fine.”

From noble mtl dot com

Kayla had no doubt that her master would rise safely.

However, Erina screamed in a fit of rage at those words. As she carefully put Seohyun down, she pushed Kayla.

“You don’t know anything…! They say they don’t know anything about Seohyun-nim!”

“That’s not true. I am the lord…”

“To a subject that is weaker than me! If you had done your best, none of this would have happened!”

A cold roar stabbed Kayla in the chest. She was right.

If Kayla had been as strong as Erina, she would have defeated Rose as well as the other demon lords.

But she was defeated. She and she clung to the Lord’s help. It was a fact she was ashamed to even think of herself.

But when she heard that from Erina, not from anyone else, Kayla couldn’t contain her anger.

In the meantime, she always endured. Whenever there was friction with Erina, it was Kayla who withdrew.

However, she eventually reached her limit.

“Isn’t it the same for you?”

“What…?”

“If you had protected your lord, none of this would have happened!”
