Chapter 170 – Fuse

Episode 170 – Fuse

A dim moonlit night.

The man standing at the window was distressed as he remembered his lover whom he could no longer meet.

“Shakra…”

The man’s name is Gaen.

As a knight of the Dark Church, he was a faithful believer who worked hard every day to save this world covered in false light.

He looked up at the night sky and prayed earnestly.

“Nephelina. I beg you, please tell me the truth. Please give those who killed Shakra a chance to take revenge. “This is how I rain.”

A wind that has been repeated dozens of times since that day.

But the goddess cruelly did not respond to his prayer.

Although Gaen felt resentful, he thought that all of this was ultimately because of Repentia, the goddess of light.

If it weren’t for Lepentia, Nephelina would have been able to descend to this world.

It was a time when he was trembling with endless anger and a desire for revenge.

Knock.

The dry knocking sound irritated my ears.

Before he knew it, Gaen wiped away the water from around his eyes and opened his mouth.

“Please come in.”

Jump up!

As soon as permission was given, the door opened and Ethan came in with a calm expression.

He leisurely looked around and smiled when his eyes met.

“Long time no see. Gaen. How have you been?”

“… “Apostle, what is going on here?”

“Haha! It looks like you haven’t been doing well. Well, I guess so. “The woman she loved died.”

Gaen’s facial muscles twitched.

I almost forgot that he was an apostle and just slapped that ugly face.

He barely suppressed his anger.

“Please refrain from talking about Shakra. No matter how much you call it an apostle, it’s hard to bear.”

“Is that so? I was rude. “Then let’s get straight to the point.”

After saying that, Ethan pulled out a nearby chair, sat down with his legs crossed, and made a bombshell remark.

“… “I found a clue to Eunrang who killed Shakra.”

“Is that true!?”

“Yes. You probably know that Eunrang is famous these days. From their perspective, they would be heroes. Well, she says it’s not that important, and she has a girl among the girls who knows a lot about him. “They said it looks pretty close.”

“Who is that?”

The asking voice was calm, but Gaen’s eyes were burning.

Ethan threw up his hand.

“Haha, calm down. “It’s not clear yet.”

“But it doesn’t matter. Who is it?”

Ethan whispered secretly with a smile of his conversion as the fierce force threatened to grab him by the collar if he made one more pause.

“Alyssa Bretes.”

“Alyssa… Bretes?”

“Yes. He is the illegitimate son of the Count Bretes. He is Abel’s close friend who is the top priority for elimination. We have a record of being together several times when Eunrang appears.”

“…”

“It seems there is a rumor going around in the academy that she is Eunrang’s lover. Isn’t it fun? “You are the lover of the person who killed your lover.”

Clumping!

Gaen clenched her fists so hard that they broke.

How dare you try to be happy with the subject that took away your happiness.

Anger, sadness, loss and longing were tangled together and complicated her mind. Uncontrolled murderous energy flows out from all over the body.

Ethan struck the final blow there.

“Oh, and I just found out that Shakra didn’t just die.”

“What does that mean?”

Gaen was agitated by her meaningful remarks.

It was painful just to imagine what would come next.

Finally, Ethan’s mouth softened.

“It’s called liver.”

“Liver… Sal?”

“Yes. They said he killed her after raping her.”

Gaen’s lenses became empty for a moment.

The sadness of just dying is indescribable, but to kill someone? Until the very end, Shakra’s suffering her, which had completely trampled on her dignity her and ended her life her, was good as seen in her eyes her.

The heat gushing out from her heart and blood soon engulfed her whole body.

“Kill me… I will throw it away. Eunrang! “I will kill you!!”

This was an oath.

An oath to myself, to the goddess, and to Shakra that I will absolutely keep.

Ethan, who was looking at Yen with satisfaction as she lost her senses and declared her revenge, suddenly took out a syringe from her arms.

“Please take this.”

“Ha… Hmm… What is that again?”

“It is the serum of a high-ranking demon. “I think you might need it.”

“…”

The serum of high-ranking demons is dangerous.

The power it gives is truly powerful, but if abused, it is eroded by demonic energy and reduced to a mere monster.

There must be an ulterior motive behind handing this over.

But despite this, Gaen had no choice but to fall for Ethan’s trick.

Gaen took hold of her serum.

“I don’t know what you want, but I hope there isn’t a single lie in the information I just gave you.”

“Of course. Isn’t Eunrang an enemy of the church? “I need that information too.”

Ethan smiles.

A suspicious smile that is difficult to read makes people feel repulsed.

He immediately took a step back.

“Then I’ll just go. I hope you have a happy revenge.”

Ethan gave an exaggerated example, like a jester, and then turned his back and left the room.

Ethan, who was left alone, quietly looked down at his serum.

“Shakra. Just wait. Soon… “I will resolve your resentment.”

Gaen, he is also a negative person about the Academy raids that have been carried out so far.

That is why he did not participate in the last operation and just stood by.

In return, I lost Shakra.

In any case, although it was a sacrifice for the greater good, he, who mourned the loss of the students, did not even hesitate at all when faced with Shakra’s death.

The intention was to find out information and kill Eunrang by any means, including torture.

It was that moment.

Jump up!

The door opened without knocking and a beautiful dark elf appeared.

“Brother-in-law!” Are you okay?”

“Idra…”

“I just saw Ethan Gloucester come out of the room. What happened? Yes?”

Her name is Idra.

As you can see from his title his his, he was a dark elf and Shakra’s younger brother.

Bronze skin, slender body.

Up to this point, the characteristics of the dark elves were similar, but in small details, such as slightly slanted eyes and long straight hair, there were differences that made it hard to believe that they were sisters.

Her personality was also soft and kind, unlike Shakra, who had a cool and sharp side.

The reason he was able to survive so well after Shakra’s death was all thanks to Hydra’s dedicated efforts her.

Gaen desperately tried to live.

“Nothing. “Don’t worry.”

“Do not lie! What happened? “Is it about her older sister?”

Idra was more perceptive than she thought.

N failed to control his facial expression as the question struck her in an instant.

As her face hardened, Hydra, who had gained her confidence, came right in front of her.

“Brother-in-law.” Please tell me. “What were you talking about?”

“That…”

“Come on! “I deserve to know too!”

Looking at her earnest eyes, En could not tell her lies.

He spewed out only part of the truth.

“… It was information about Eunrang, who killed Shakra. And she has a woman who might be his acquaintance.”

“An acquaintance? Are you sure?”

“I do not know yet. But it’s highly likely. So, I plan to interrogate him.”

“I’m going with you too.”

“No. It’s too dangerous.”

“Brother-in-law!”

“I know it won’t work if it doesn’t work out. If something happens, I don’t want to see Shakra again. “Please, please.”

I don’t know how things will turn out.

They may be discovered and captured before they can be interrogated, or they may not be able to return even if the interrogation is successfully completed.

I couldn’t accompany Hydra unless there was even a possibility of that happening.

However, that is only from Gaen’s perspective.

Even for Idra, there was a reason why she couldn’t back down from here.

“Why doesn’t my brother-in-law even think about my feelings? How am I supposed to survive if her sister dies and she loses her brother-in-law as well? Yes? Let’s go together! Together… “I will take revenge!”

“Idra…”

“Please. “I don’t want to lose my brother-in-law.”

I don’t know about Gaen, but in fact, Idra secretly admired him.

Even though she had given up on the idea of ​​being his older sister’s companion, her affection for him still remained deep in her heart.

I couldn’t expose him to something dangerous alone.

The two continued their war of words for a while.

And in the end, it was Gaen who broke his stubbornness. This is because she could not ignore the cause of participating in her sister’s revenge.

“Instead, promise me that you will listen to my instructions. Do you understand?”

“Of course. I promise.”

“Good. Then let’s leave right away.”

“Yes!”

So, the two set off on a journey for revenge.

*

Late in the evening, a beautiful girl was walking down a deserted alley.

Her identity is Alyssa Bretes.

I am finally returning home after taking sword dance lessons until late at night for the talent show.

Even as she was leaving, she continued to practice the movements she had learned today.

“Was it like this? No. A little more gently. “They said you have to move like water.”

Even though she was not currently holding the sword, I had the illusion that the sword was moving smoothly every time she moved her hand.

The hand movements were that precise and beautiful.

Although the training time was short, the level of swordsmanship was high, so the achievement was quite outstanding.

It was in the meantime.

A man walking from the opposite direction stopped and asked a question.

“Are you Alyssa Bretes?”

Alyssa flinched and stopped.

She immediately puts her right foot behind her and is ready to respond at any time.

“… Who are you?”

“Is that right?”

“I asked who it was.”

“That’s right.”

“Who are you?”

The man was silent for a moment in response to the nervous shout, then walked forward and stood under the streetlight.

He had an ordinary appearance in his early 30s.

“Who am I? I am Gaen.”

“You said you were curious about your name? What is it?”

“… Do you remember Shakra?”

“Shakra?”

“Okay. They are the dark elves who attacked you.”

“Ah!”

A scene appeared in Alyssa’s mind.

This was the scene of a dark elf flashing silver hair and daggers raining down like a storm.

Her face suddenly distorted.

“Under! What are you saying you came here for revenge? You guys have no conscience? “I tried to kill him first.”

“I will not make excuses.”

“So, you’re going to kill me? Do you think you’ll be safe after that?”

“It doesn’t matter. “The important thing is that you are related to that guy named Eunrang.”

When Eunrang was mentioned, Alyssa’s expression her suddenly changed.

She immediately pulled out her rapier and revealed her fierceness.

“Just try to touch Eunrang at least with a finger. “I won’t leave you alone.”

“… Welcome to the right place. “If you follow me quietly, I won’t hurt you.”

“Shut up! Do you think I’ll give in to someone like you?”

Taaat!

Alyssa rushed towards Gaen.

I know from the momentum being conveyed that the opponent clearly has the upper hand, but if I stay like this, I’ll just get caught by them.

In response to the desperate rush, Gaen calmly said a word.

“Hydra.”

Clap la la la la rock!

At the same time, sharp shadows appeared from all directions and attacked Alyssa.

“Huh!? “What is this?”

Alyssa was suddenly taken aback by the situation, but she quickly threw away the shadow.

Kang! Kaga River! Cheaeng!

Perhaps because she learned sword dancing, her swordsmanship, which she had focused only on speed, became flexible.

Due to the simple yet efficient response her, the shadows were unable to invade her body and bounced away.

However, Alyssa forgot about Yen for just a moment due to her constant barrage of attacks.

That was a mistake.

“Blame that guy.”

“Ah!”

Alyssa quickly turned her back when she heard a voice coming from behind her, and could see the tip of her sword approaching.

Although it was only for a moment, her mind accelerated and she saw her approaching sword very slowly. Her problem her is that her body her is much slower than that and she can’t avoid it.

She closed her eyes without realizing it.

‘I’m sorry Eunrang.’

Wow!

With that thought, Alyssa lost her mind with a burning pain.
