Chapter 220 – 220. Maehwa Swordsman Reincarnated in the Count Family

220. Maehwa sword reincarnated in the count family

The cave was large enough to accommodate 3-4 people.
It is noon now. Even when the sun is at its brightest, the inside of the cave is extremely dark. This means that the cave is quite deep.

“According to hunters working nearby, this cave has been there for a long time. Have you ever heard of it, Professor?”
“…… I rarely leave the academy. I don’t know much about the mountains near the city.”

Ploy looked around the cave. It seems to be looking for traces of something.
He was a bit nervous, but he believed in Yuria. If he were Yuria, he would have thoroughly erased his traces.

“There are traces of beasts and monsters. It’s been quite a while.”

What Ploy found was a small hole in the ground and animal hair.

“Can you see something like that?”
“I learned it when I was a knight. Because one of the knight’s jobs is to periodically subdue monsters. Did the hunter know what was in this cave?”
“As the professor said, it was a dwelling place for beasts and monsters. However, it is said that the owner of the cave has changed every time.”
“The traces are quite old. What are the monsters on this mountain?”
“I heard it was a goblin.”

I took out the lamp I had prepared from the backpack I was carrying on my back.

“The cave is said to be quite deep.”
“Did the devil’s trail really point here? I don’t see any signs of the devil.”
“From a combination of rumors floating around the city, not physical traces, I guessed that there was a demon here. Proof that the devil exists must be found now.”

I lit the lamp and prepared to enter. Ploy put his hand on the hilt of his sword with a nervous face.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. There is less than a 10% chance of a demon. They say they have never seen hunters, herbalists, or demons active in this mountain.”

The 7 goblins living in the cave were dealt with a few days ago. Now this cave is empty.

“If you are uncomfortable, please wait here. I’ll go inside and check it out.”
“No. It can’t be. I am a professor and you are a student. I will protect you in case of emergency.”

It was an expected reaction. I smiled and thanked her.

“It is really reassuring that the professor has helped me.”

I went into the cave with Ploy.
As soon as we entered the cave, the temperature dropped dramatically.

“It is cold. Is this cave really like this?”
“This cold is abnormal. Did the devil really stay in this cave… ?”

In reality, it is a magic tool hidden in the cave walls. The magic tools used in the freezer are hidden all over the cave walls.

‘Because the original atmosphere has to be convincing.’

I stumbled slightly and bumped into Ploy’s shoulder. My left hand touched her hip.

“What happened?!”
“I stepped on the protruding part of the stone. Sorry.”
“Even if there are lanterns, it’s this dark, so walk a little more carefully.”
“Yes.”

There was no reaction to touching her butt. It’s because Ploy is used to skinship with me.

‘Due to the effect of the Lucky Skebe amulet, dirty things happen with a high probability when we’re alone, so I’m used to it.’

The fact that the pants were made of thick leather also played a role. If it had been thin clothes, there would have been a slight reaction.

“…… !”

Ploy suddenly stopped. Then he pulled out his sword from his waist.

“Professor?”
“…… There is something.”
“Yes? I can’t see anything.”
“Something black moved.”

It is highly likely that it is a shadow controlled by Yuria’s magic.

“Devil… Shall?”
“I do not know. It’s still too early to be sure. I cannot rule out the possibility that I was wrong.”
“… Check it out and you’ll see what’s there.”

She reached the end of the cave. Ploy naturally tensed up at the thick smell of blood.
I opened my mouth as I illuminated my surroundings with my lamp. It was because there were five corpses of strong males scattered all over the place. In addition, there was a magic circle on the wall covered in blood.

“Unbelievable….”

I pretended to be surprised. Ploy wasn’t looking at me and was on guard in all directions, so he was comfortable acting.

“That corpse… They are thieves. Ordinary people do not wear such armor. Eugene. Do you know what that magic circle is?”
“I’m not a wizard, so I don’t know the details… , I know that magic circles made from human blood are evil! If not a demon, at least a warlock would be here!”
“Either way you were doing something here. There’s a hole next to that wall.”
“That hole seems to lead downward.”

It was a hole where you could not walk while standing up, but could crawl through it.

“Eugene!”

Ploy called my name strongly.
A black object was wriggling around. More than 10 of them surround us. In particular, there are 4 of them gathered at the exit.
A monster created by Yuria’s shadow magic.
I switched the lantern to my left hand and drew my sword with my right hand.

“Do you know what these are?”
“Mo, I don’t know.”
“I will break through by force.”

Ploy swung his aura-filled sword towards the nearest shadow. The shape of the shadow monster fell to the floor like a spilled liquid and disappeared.

“It’s not surprising. I think it would be better to deal with everything here.”

Ploy moved in all directions and began cutting through the shadows.
I also dealt with a shadow. However, I couldn’t cut through my black shadow. There is no tingling sensation at all.

“Get out of the way!”

Stood aside Ploy’s blade cuts the shadow vertically.

“My attack didn’t even work.”
“There is only one difference between your sword and mine.”
“Come on… You mean?”
“It seems that these guys are exceptionally weak against Aurors. Let’s go back to the academy. I have to report the work here to the dean.”
“Professor! There’s something on the way out!”

I urgently called Ploy. At the exit was a human figure, black from head to toe. In both hands is a sickle that curves round.
Its true identity is Yuria, who is hiding in the shadows.

“Devil… Is it.”

It was so disparate that it could only be seen as a devil, and since I had mentioned devils all along, it was only natural for Ploy to think that he was a devil.
A blue aura burned on Ploy’s sword. However, Yuria moved before her. Scythe aims at Ploy’s neck. Ploy was frightened by the speed and backed away.

Yuria immediately aimed at me. I raised my sword to resist, but as I lowered my stance, the sickle I swung grazed my shoulder. It was literally just a brush, but the prepared blood bag burst and blood splattered everywhere.

“Aaaaagh!”

I fell to the floor screaming. The lamp fell to the floor and was smashed, darkening the inside of the cave. Only Ploy’s blue aura glows faintly in the dark.

“Eugene!”

Ploy called my name and rushed at me.
Yuria moved silently.

“Keugh… !”

The two scythes make shallow wounds in Ploy’s body. I didn’t intentionally inflict deep wounds. Because our goal is not to kill Ploy.
A black shadow wriggled from the floor and surged upwards, covering Ploy’s body. Ploy couldn’t escape.
The shadow gradually covers Ploy’s body.
YuRia stood still and looked at Ploy.

“Me… Are you laughing at me!”

Ploy gritted his teeth and threw his sword at Yuria. The black pierced YuRia’s body. It’s not really pierced. It just looks that way. There was no way that Yuria would fall for her attack like that.
When YuRia was hesitating. Ploy hugged me and tried to run out of the cave.

Puck!

Ploy passed out after being hit in the back of the head by Yuria’s swinging leg.
I opened my eyes properly.

“Good work. YuRia.”

The shadow hiding Yuria’s body disappeared as if it were permeating the ground, revealing her true self. She stood undisturbed in the slightest. In one hand she held Floy’s sword.

“It was no big deal.”
“Let’s do the next plan.”
“Yes. Master. If anything goes wrong, please call me. I will be waiting for you to move anytime.”
“It’s okay. It’s just starving for two days, so what?”

I grinned and looked toward the hole in the wall. I’m thinking of going down with a rope.

“Let’s take off our clothes before that.”

•••

“… Eww. Ugh.”

I called her name urgently after confirming that Ploy’s only right eye went up.

“Professor Floy! Professor!”
“…… Is it Eugene? Are we still alive?”

Lying on her floor, she raised her upper body. And she was startled. Because she and I were naked, not wearing a single thread.

“What is this?!”

Ploy hurriedly covered his important parts with both hands. But her hands were too small to cover them completely.
Her voluptuous breasts covered her crimson nipples, but it was impossible to hide all of her voluptuous breasts.
A thick layer of brown pubic hair peeked out from the sides of her palms. She clamped it down with her tight thighs.

“Professor. Calm down. When I woke up, we were both naked.”
“…… Where are you?”

Ploy moved her head and looked around her.
It was a space with nothing but walls blocking all sides.

“There is a hole in the ceiling. It looks like we came in through that road.”

Ploy’s gaze turned to the ceiling. A magic circle was drawn on the ceiling, as if the magic circle had been drawn with blood. A soft light came out of the magic circle, illuminating the space. There was a hole next to the magic circle.

“What kind of magic circle is that?”
“I do not know. Seeing ashehealed our wounds, the devil might be experimenting on us….”
“…… You were cut by the devil.”
“Yes. When I woke up, my wounds were healed.”
“I don’t even have an eyepatch…. I showed you something ugly.”

There was a scar on her left eye, as if from a beast’s claw.

“No. She’s not ugly at all. Have you ever been attacked by a beast?”
“…… Got beaten by Werewolf. The price of carelessness… No, that’s an excuse. I just lost her left eye because I was weak.”

Ploy’s eyes were on the ceiling. She hasn’t seen her since before. The reason doesn’t matter. It’s because I’m naked.

“The devil who healed our wounds….”
“Isn’t that the purpose of testing the magic circle on the ceiling through us?”
“Maybe you want to starve to death slowly.”
“The devil is an evil being, so that’s a possibility.”
“…….”
“…….”

Silence descends and an awkward atmosphere pervades. It’s because each other is naked. I pretended to look away from her and admired her body.
There were small scars all over her body. It’s a size that is hard to see unless you look closely. Her scars felt a bit fresh to me.
It’s a solid body. It is clear that he trains for a certain amount of time every day.

“Looks like it will be difficult to climb up to the ceiling while holding on to the wall. The ceiling is too high, and the upper wall has been flattened by demons so there is nowhere to hold it.”
“Can’t we use the professor’s aura?”
“Unfortunately, I cannot cast an aura except through a sword.”

The walls are flat and the ceiling is over 15 meters high. It is impossible to go up without any equipment, no matter how flow.

“…… There is no way to escape unless someone comes here.”
“I came without telling anyone. Tomorrow is no class day… The day after tomorrow, students and professors who noticed my disappearance might be looking for me.”
“I have a maid. If you don’t come back to the dormitory in the evening, they’ll be looking for you. I don’t know if I can find a way here.”
“There are plenty of possibilities. All we have to do is wait for hope.”

Ploy cautiously got up and went to a corner and sat down against the wall. I sat down against her wall, a short distance from her.
We sat there silently. Ploy was pensive in her thoughts with her serious face, and I was peeping at her body.

‘It’s even more erotic because she covers her breasts and pussy with her hands.’

I resisted the urge to violate Ploy right away. If she is better at her skills and she intends to commit it, she would have done it earlier with Yuria’s help.
I raised my fist and pounded the wall repeatedly. This seemingly meaningless action is a kind of signal.

‘There are cameras and wiretaps hidden all over the walls. Yuria must be watching from the outside.’

A few minutes after the signal, the temperature began to drop.
