Chapter 155 – Assassination Family Raven 2 (14)
I felt a few people following me, but it didn’t matter because I wasn’t going to do anything bad.
When I arrived at a place that could be said to be behind the Church of the Heavenly God, some guys with something wrapped in gray cloth were scared when they saw me.
One of the guys who looked suspicious because his face was covered with a black cloth looked at me and said.
“Hey, it’s a fire fist!”
“Fire Fist? Did you watch me fight and then go to the Heavenly God’s Temple?”
“Crazy! How did you do that?!”
Bah!
Hit Someone the guy who made that sound very hard on the back of the head.
It looks like you have a soft-spoken guy with you.
As I lightly shook both hands and approached the suspicious group, a guy handed me something wrapped in a gray cloth.
And then the guy started running away quickly and the rest of the guys surrounded me.
“Whoa…”
I wanted to use Shadow Craft to kill them all at once, but I couldn’t help it considering the people who followed behind me.
If you knock them down one at a time, five times will be enough.
“Damn you!”
As I walked forward, a guy ran towards me holding a dagger in both hands.
An attitude that shows the determination to stab me unconditionally even if I get hit. Normally, I would use a weapon to strike and counterattack, but it doesn’t matter.
Because the person I am currently possessing is Cyan Raven.
Yeom-Ryun Fist (炎wheel拳) Mu-Ryun (無Wheel)
Kagak!
The dagger that pierced the side accurately missed the shadow armor without breaking it.
Seizing that moment, I slammed a heated fist into his chin, and his body floated into the sky.
I was planning on just suppressing him for now, but it seems like my fist went in too far.
“Aaaaah!”
“Aaaaah!”
This time, two people ran at the same time.
One guy had his knuckles in his fists, with a hint of metal visible, and the other guy used a dagger just like the guy who hit me.
Knuckles, I didn’t even think about it, but I got a good hint.
Yan Lun has made it possible for my fist to pass horizontally so far.
But what if I could strengthen my fist by making a vertical ring like those knuckles?
‘It definitely helps.’
Of course, I can still make it with Shadow Craft, but what I want is to implement the knuckles with Yan Lun, and when I was possessed by Han Xian, a task arose that I had to do.
And he used Shadow Armor to ignore the attacks of the two people who had given him good hints, and fired his Flame Fist.
Pow! Pow!
When the remaining two clever people put down their weapons and declared surrender, I ignored them and ran towards the guy who was running away with something.
The people who followed me will take care of these guys.
By expanding the range of presence detection, we checked people’s movements and tracked the one that was moving away the fastest.
Looking at the way he walks between alleys, he seems to be a Spada native, but he wasn’t passing things around for no reason.
It is easy to check the direction by detecting presence, but tracking efficiency was slightly reduced on this road.
‘If only there was Shadow Dive. I should be able to move right between shadows.’
If you learn Shadow Mastery in the normal order, you will first learn Shadow Dive, which involves turning yourself into a shadow and leaping through space.
Like me, using Shadow Craft, you don’t have to make a key and open the door. It’s the basic and strongest infiltration ability, as long as you have a shadow, but since you don’t have it, you have to do it with your body.
The best thing I can do now is to go up and chase it in a straight line.
I drew up the negative mana that filled my body and climbed up the building.
Then I took direction again and ran while stepping on the roof of the building.
The roof did not shake or collapse due to the assassin’s footsteps, and as I ran after him, I could see that he was tired and had slowed down.
When I got to the right distance, I jumped off the top of the building and was able to catch him.
“Stop.”
“Huh. Huh. How did you catch up already?”
As I kicked him in the chest and fell to his knees, the object wrapped in gray cloth he was holding in his arms fell to the floor.
What appeared as the gray cloth was unraveled was a hammer with a slightly long handle.
I lifted the hammer off the floor and looked at it, and found that it was a weapon used by the battle priests of the Celestial Church a little while ago.
Why did you run away with this?
“Was it bait?”
“Bait? Wasn’t that a holy relic of the Celestial Church?”
If I had pretended not to know, I would have just hit his head with a hammer, but seeing the guy who really didn’t seem to know and who seemed to think he had been betrayed, I slowly lowered the hammer I was holding in my right hand.
Does someone else have the real one?
‘Of course, it’s best not to worry about what other people think.’
If I were the original Cyan Raven, I would have killed everyone who got in my way, but I felt like I was only causing trouble by mixing in for no reason.
‘We probably need more of Cian Raven’s way of thinking now. Let’s raise the assimilation rate a little more.’
The assimilation rate was increased from 55% to 75%.
Pow!
I turned the helmet upside down and swung the hammer at the same time, hitting the guy who had made me lose his head with the hammer and throwing the hammer to the floor.
When I saw the guy on the ground, I quickly ran to where the group of guys was.
As soon as I got to the place where I defeated the three guys, passing by buildings and people, I cast off my shadow.
There were seven people lying on the floor, not three.
The four people who seemed to have followed me were bleeding and crawling on the floor, unable to get up properly, as if they had been stabbed or beaten.
“There was something real about these two guys.”
Puck.
I stepped on the arm of one of the two people still lying on the floor.
“Aaaaah!”
“Where were you moving the sacred object?”
“Say. Do…”
Kwasik.
Lift and lower your legs.
The guy screamed as his finger was completely broken.
“Aaaaah! Kill me! Just! Kill me!”
“I understand.”
I took my foot off his hand and lightly stepped on his neck as if taking aim.
And as he lifted his leg up, he said.
“Ahh!!! Underground! Underground!!!”
Kwasik.
I’m guessing you’re talking about the basement near the gambling house.
I don’t know why I’m taking the holy relic, but the place I have to go has been decided.
Before that, there was only one alive left.
I slowly walked towards that guy.
He was clenching his molars, perhaps because he had glimpsed his future through the death of his colleague.
It would have been nice if there had been a dagger that had fallen on the floor, but it looks like the remaining two guys retrieved it.
I feel like I’m getting dirty because I don’t want to use Shadow Craft.
I grabbed his neck and twisted it.
Tduduk.
Since we killed the three guys, let’s go kill the remaining two guys and retrieve the holy relic.
As I was running quickly towards the slums in the northeast again, I heard a voice calling me.
“Sian!”
“Ziorun Crow.”
“Yes. What happened in the square?”
“The devil has moved. Is any of the information you obtained useful?”
“I found some suspicious information. They say people are disappearing.”
“Didn’t you leave a body behind?”
“It seems like that. People keep dying, and it seems like their bodies haven’t been found for several years. Even if they assume the worst and eat human flesh, there will still be bones, but they say there aren’t any.”
To call it good information, it wasn’t what I needed right now.
“Was there a sacred relic stored in the temple of the Heavenly God?”
“That’s right. Normally a temple has holy relics, so it’s a temple, right? This place is known as a big hammer, but in reality, I think it’s a small hammer.”
The guy who thought it was a sledgehammer was really deceived.
The guy with the small hammer is really the one I should have caught, but he seems to have already entered the quarantine zone.
“What about the goddess’s temple? What was stored there?”
“I understand that the Goddess’ Temple is a small cup. They say that if two temples are close together and have sacred relics with strong power, problems will arise.”
It was clear that the devil was trying to do something using the two holy objects: the cup and the hammer.
“Tell it to Princess Rosette at the safe house. It’s late this time, so I’ll kill you and go back.”
“Would it be okay if the other person was a devil?”
“If there is life, I can kill it.”
After roughly speaking, I continued walking in the direction I was going.
Even the guards who were supposed to be blocking the entrance to the northeastern slum left to take care of things in the square, so no one stood guard.
I don’t want to fight in the daytime, but I think I can demonstrate my strength underground.
The moment I entered the alley, I used Youngtu again.
Even though the sun was high in the sky, I walked slowly down this dark alley and headed to the gambling house.
In order to recover the mana that was inefficiently used by converting to heat, I used Yeonyeong Shingong to recover mana in the shadows.
The gambling hall, which was brightly lit at night, was dark in the morning.
Skill Link-Boost
Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功). Presence detection.
Presence Detection Boost
When we sent out a wave of heat, we were able to discover about seven people moving underground.
And I could see that something in the direction the person was approaching was breaking the chain of my heat.
I thought it wasn’t very useful to find a way into the underground.
Skill Link-Boost
Shadow Mastery. Flame wheel.
Shadow Circle
I created a shadow circle by roughly guessing the direction in which the presence detection chain was broken.
Flame wheel.
Additionally, a ring converted to open air was inserted in between to create a window made of shadows.
I just decided on a name for the new technique, like Yeonyeongshingong (連影身功).
Even if you make a spear or throw it, the moment it passes through the ring, it takes on a shape similar to a lance and flies away.
“Shadow Lance.”
While muttering softly, he threw the spear of shadow.
Quagagagagagagagagagagagag!!!
As the Shadow Spear passed through the Ring of Shadow and the Ring of Fire, it gained very strong destructive power and used all of that destructive power to destroy the ground.
The dust rose thickly, and I waited for the dust to clear.
And after a while, a path to the underground appeared.
