Chapter 517 – #109_Disappearance (4)

#517

One.
The nameless void of Gehenna.
Hiding in the middle of the maple grove, Klech held his breath and gnashed his teeth.

The plan worked.

However, it was a half-penny success that is difficult to say that it was a perfect success.
First of all, after smuggling, it was not difficult to secure Shin Si-woo’s location through bats.

The use of the fish tank is simple.
If you give it magical energy and throw it, a human with a radius of 5m will be sucked into it.

So, rather than risk detection and pursue them, Klech chose to use his familiar as a bomb-dropping drone.

According to the plan, it should be a perfect crime to push Shin Si-woo into a fishbowl and disappear without leaving any traces….

A problem arose here.
That he was with Deneb Zemanai.

Only then will the effect of the fish tank be halved.
A half-penny man pretending to be a witch can be dealt with without difficulty, but when it comes to a count, the story is different.
Even if the twins aren’t together, they’re not perfect.

However, when Klech belatedly issued an order to stop the release, the bat had already thrown the tank.

As a result, he was faced with a situation where his income might disappear altogether after he had struggled to crawl to Gehenna.

In fact, it was entirely Klech’s fault.
No matter how much it kills the presence, it restricts the body’s power and adds a concealment function to prevent further backtracking, so the compatibility is poor, but the familiar’s control failed.

However, Clech had a personality that chose to blame his familiar rather than admit it meekly.

“Stupid bird-headed bastard!”

By the way, bats are mammals.

But the arrow had already been shot and hit the target.

With the count innocently caught up in it.
As long as there is nothing to do with staying longer, he should think only of getting out of Gehenna safely.
Although the plan was half a failure, because of her carefulness, the chances that someone would have noticed her smuggling are close to zero.

The smuggler, who had been recruited using magic beforehand, informed them that the next departure would be in 3 days.
Since the three days have passed smoothly since the day of the incident, you can get out of this loathsome dungeon and head to Border Town as soon as the sun goes down.

Clech grumbled and rolled his body in the crypt.

“Bianca….”

Suddenly, a lost object of love and hatred comes to mind.
If she was more ruthless, prudent, and cruel than anyone else, this level of work would have succeeded very easily.
‘Did you see it? It seemed like an auditory hallucination of a dry laugh, saying, “You are only that much.”

“Shut up, I have my own way.”

Clech shook his head to shake off his thoughts and crawled out of the crypt he had dug for temporary shelter.

Clech, who had been living in a narrow tunnel for three days and brushed off the soil from his blood-red hair, looked ridiculous at first glance.

In fact, Klech belongs to the strong among the exploits.
21 Hierarchy, all kinds of magnetic magic specialized for combat.
Although Klech herself does not admit it, her exploits aimed at her were many because of her somewhat sloppy words and actions.

However, Clech survived and had abundant combat experience as he had walked the bloody path right after his succession.

The reason why Clech used cumbersome means, from smuggling to hiding, is because this is the ‘City of Witches’.

A witch believes in and blindly believes in her magic.
This is because it is a feat that is pursued through generations, dedicating even one’s life to it.

That’s why no one can guess that the ‘public enemy’ who smuggled into the country is hiding by digging a tunnel.
A really helpless situation.

As expected, there was no other feeling of popularity in the cool air that I felt after three days.

– Caw

Clech, who had been carefully examining his surroundings, turned his head at the sudden cry.
There, a large crow was perched on a branch of a maple tree, swishing its head.

“Fuck, surprise….”

Clech, who was on edge, spat out disgust and rubbed his chest.

But that’s for a while.
I realize that my tear-stained eyes are staring this way.
It was an unpleasantly black eye.

-Flop! Flop! Flop!

And one, two.
Seeing crows flying around him, Clech immediately sensed something was wrong.

Crows that act in groups are active, curious, and highly intelligent.
However, it is clearly strange to watch them silently while blatantly flocking to them, not even the warning sound they make when their territory is invaded.

“Shit… !”

These crows are all ministries.
In other words, it was discovered by someone.
As soon as he realized that, Klech splattered the crow away, splattering the blood from his fingertips like a shotgun.

– Caw! Caw! Caw!

Dozens of crows are simply slaughtered by magic, and their black feathers flutter and fall into the snow-covered forest.
As if responding to the scream, a flock of crows blackened the sky I looked up at through the cracks in the branches.

“Crazy….”

But it wasn’t just the crows flocking from all over Gehenna that stunned Clech.

Something is approaching with a turbulent wind.
Just as you can feel a huge storm without seeing it with your own eyes, you can feel its presence even though it is quite far away.
A presence clad in tremendous magical power draws closer without even thinking about hiding it.

The forest cried only in the aftermath of the wild and violent wind.
A witch landed lightly in front of Klech, who raised her magical powers in the storm with her ears wailing.

“…….”

She only faces her, and she feels the hairs all over her body stand up.

This feeling was something I felt the other day when I caught a glimpse of Duke Tiphareth’s ruthless hunting.
A state that makes you feel a wall that can’t be narrowed down no matter what wit.

Light blonde hair with sky blue eyes.
The witch, reminiscent of her fairies with her terrifying beauty, was terrifyingly expressionless.
It’s enough to make her feel a seething rage, even though she hasn’t spoken a word yet.

I know her true identity.
Because he was one of the people around Shin Si-woo that Bianca had collected.

Perfume Witch, Amelia Marigold.

However, there was a part that Clech did not understand.

There was something about her in Bianca’s collection as well, but it wasn’t given much weight.
Rather, the rumor that Klech had heard in her ears was more detailed: ‘The Perfume Witch was deprived of her baronial title for going wild in Gehenna.’

She couldn’t guess why she would appear with all her fighting spirit, as if she had been waiting for this.

“What is it?”

Klech listed the possibilities he hadn’t pinpointed.
Unexpectedly, the possibility of being close with Shin Si-woo.
It is possible that Shin Si-woo and Deneb Jemanai broke the fishbowl and came out and told the story.
However, there is too little information to understand the situation to this extent.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this….”

Since we haven’t entered the battle yet, we need to spend time talking and aim for an opening to escape.

“Cry.”

To put those expectations to shame, the witch of perfume didn’t ask or argue about anything.
Instead, along with the chant, a blue magic reflected light forms around the eyes, and rain pours down all over the area like a shower.

“Bitch! Say it in words! Overflow, blood!”

You can’t be beaten like this.
Clech immediately released the seals of the magic blood all over his body.

The blood, which was extremely suppressed to hide its presence, ran amok and supplied strength to the whole body.

Clech’s magnetism magic is carried out through the medium of blood, befitting the nickname of the witch of the true ancestor.

Therefore, the magic blood that flows through her body is not just blood.
Blood essence purified and distilled from the blood of hundreds of people to extract a single drop.
Imbued with condensed power and vitality, she is able to strengthen her body to a level that normal spiritual bodies cannot handle.

Accelerating blood flow.
Because of that, the blue veins protruding from her skin and the eyes that have turned even redder perceive all phenomena as slow motion.

Clech created her dagger in that brief moment as she pounced on her opponent like a beast.
This dagger with a bloody thin blade was also made of her blood.

The anxiety and fear of her formidable enemy also temporarily seized her right to attack.
She got the perfect distance.
A neat blow without superfluity is flying toward the nape of her neck, which is clearly visible.

At this moment when she rushes at the seemingly defenseless enemy, she is certain of victory.
He had pierced the hearts of several witches with an armor that was no different from being poisoned.

“Search!”

When the sharp-swung dagger plunged into her slender neck.

Clech realized that her own self-righteousness was premature.

A new type that is scattered like broken.
The figure of the enemy that Clech was aiming for was not the main body, but an alter ego elaborately created with fine particles.
Despite the failure of the attack, Klech prepares to leave the battlefield without panic.

-Bang!!!

The moment the superhuman power-packed legs spur the ground, an explosion occurs like mining TNT.

A sonic boom blasted through the air violently shook the forest.
It wasn’t even an attack, it was just the reaction of pure movement that caused such an aftershock.

“I almost got fucked!”

She sighed, though she wasn’t completely out of the situation yet.
Once you can sneak in, it will be possible to hide her presence and get out of Gehenna.

– Right!

“What… ?”

But Klech, who was about to disappear over the forest in an instant, heard the clear, clear sound of his fingertips snapping.
It is impossible.
Because right now she was flying faster than the speed of sound.
Eventually, he realizes that the source of the ominous sound was ‘inside’ his body.

“Cheukhak!”

The moment the clean wave shook his body, Klech lost speed and was slammed into the middle of the forest.
His control over his instant magical power was completely taken away.

“Hey… Whoops… !”

No matter how much one raises one’s mana, it leaks out like pouring water into a bottomless pot.
Only then did Klech realize that the Perfume Witch had already worked her magic.

The rain that suddenly poured down from the moment she appeared.
At first glance, she didn’t notice because there was no magical effect, but the moment she received it with her body, Clech was already caught up in magic.

To think that such powerful magic could be used so secretly.

In front of the astonished Clech, the witch of perfume finally reveals what she saw.

Clech, smothered in her mud, looked up at her with her quivering eyes.

The moment you meet her eyes, you feel her goose bumps.
A contemptuous, cold gaze that showed no mercy or forgiveness.
The dignity of a queen that seems to be trampled on mercilessly even if both the mind and body reach their limits.

“Cry.”

The perfume witch kissed her lips without hesitation.
At the same time as the second chant, wildflowers sprouted everywhere that touched the rain.

Beautiful.
It is so beautiful.

At the end of that impression, Clech’s consciousness was cut off.
