Chapter 268 – Assassination Family Raven 3 (22)

Although it is important to receive a reward for interacting with the princess and the priest, clearing the quest was more important to me.

I’d like to hear a story about the devil rather than a story about compensation, but I don’t know if he might have some information.

In the end, when they both paid me the fee, Princess Eowyn lowered her head and could not raise it.

I can’t believe I look like that even when wearing a knight’s armor.

“So, have you gathered any information about the devil? I only knew what existed and came to the Kingdom of Thembus, but on the way, I had two battles with fragments of Shahemos.”

After hearing what I said, Princess Éowyn patted her red face with her hand to calm it down and got up from her seat to take her map.

It is the location where Stemore and Edburnil’s estate are drawn, and it appears to have clearly organized the events and accidents that occurred in the vicinity.

“Me and Haley are unable to move from Stemore, so we just gathered some information. There are now more people who think it was a wizard’s experiment, but considering the testimonies of those who questioned it and what happened, it is likely that it will be located in Edburnil’s estate. “I don’t think it’s something that’s caught, but something that’s in between.”

The place where Princess Éowyn thought the devil was located was at the beginning of the mountain between the two estates.

Because suspicious beings usually settle in places like this.

But if this is all, the two people who did the research weren’t very helpful.

It seems like I have more work to do than I thought, but shouldn’t I receive something more expensive than virginity?

“Okay, I’m thinking of moving at night.”

“If you need help, I will help you.”

I felt that using Princess Éowyn’s name would actually cause restrictions.

“No. Be sure to prepare the request fee. I’ll get drunk as soon as I return from defeating the devil.”

“Tsk… Yes…”

When I got up from my seat, Seche also got up too.

“But wouldn’t it be better to tell you in advance?”

“I never said I would tell you in the first place, right?”

“But we’re still going to do this?”

Seche made a hand gesture with one hand curled up and the fingers of the other hand penetrating.

I’m planning to kill the demon and return to the empire, so I guess I won’t have time.

“And I think the food and alcohol we eat here will be really delicious.”

Free food and alcohol, and a luxury hotel.

It wouldn’t be a bad thing if in return you were teaching women’s skills.

From the beginning, I thought that the price was sufficient since Zhuge Xian’er made it easy for women to learn.

“That would be better, Princess Éowyn. Can you take off your armor and wear comfortable clothes?”

“Wasn’t this done after the request was completed?!”

“I plan to teach you sword techniques. If you have talent, you can learn it right away like the Seche, but if you don’t have talent, it will take time.”

“Ah. Sword… But wasn’t that a bluff?”

“You told Raven’s assassin that he was bluffing?”

As Hayley spoke with a smile, Éowyn was taken aback.

“Can you tell me that too?”

“Can I do it too? Hmm, okay. A priest who can use sword techniques is almost as good as a paladin.”

“You can’t do everything you learn. But it will still be helpful.”

I approached Hayley and traced the acupuncture points needed to learn female skills.

“Can you memorize it?”

“Did you have to memorize it all? It would be impossible to memorize it all at once.”

“You have to memorize the order, so if you don’t know something, just say you don’t know it.”

I let the negative mana swirl around my fingertips and slowly engraved the path of fortune energy on Hayley’s body.

At first, Hayley didn’t know what I was doing, but she seemed to sense that something was changing. She closed her eyes and concentrated.

Two, three times.

On the third time, Hayley opened her eyes and spoke.

“I think I understand now.”

“Then you can do it alone from now on. Princess Éowyn.”

“Ah. I’ll take off my armor and come back.”

He breathed negative mana into Hayley’s abdomen, placed his hand on her stomach, and observed the fortune-telling.

Since there wasn’t that much blood that I told you about, I slowly made it my own by deriving her Yin attribute mana.

“Should I do it too? I think it would be a good idea.”

Since he was now well-versed in the Seche, he sat down on the floor and started praying for fortune after I infused him with negative mana.

A little while later, Éowyn came back wearing thin clothes, and I began training as a female maid.

‘Easy to learn is the best.’

It was a little late in the evening when the two women met, but regardless, they were able to have a very delicious dinner and drink deeply fragrant wine.

“Can you tell me a little more?”

Éowyn, who could be called a princess knight, saw the effect of her womanhood and spoke to me as I was about to leave.

Even though she couldn’t awaken the sword energy like Seche, she still seemed to notice the changes in her body.

I probably achieved a higher level of achievement in Seche because I used intense heat to burn off all the impurities in their bodies, but I skipped it because I felt like if I sent heat to Princess Éowyn and Hayley, their clothes would get soaked with sweat.

Later, when I received the request fee, I thought it would be okay if I burned off all the impurities in my body.

“You should be able to do it on your own without me. And more importantly, you should start hunting demons.”

We left the luxury hotel with Hayley and took her to the temple first.

In the meantime, it was completely night, so I looked around the street lit up by magic lanterns and found an inn.

We got a room at a suitable inn, but the place we stopped by earlier was so huge that we felt a bit of a gap.

“In the end, all I can do is follow along.”

Seche said with a bitter smile because I am acting alone tonight.

“But it helped a lot. I had a good breakfast and slept soundly.”

“Okay. Shouldn’t I become stronger so that I can be someone you can use one day?”

After infusing negative mana into Seche’s stomach, I took out my clothes from my bag and changed them.

I wore the clothes of the Raven family, black top and bottom and coat, and left the dagger and long sword at the inn.

I closed my eyes and caught a glimpse of the body eating fortune, and then I became a shadow.

Shadow Dive.

*

I left the inn and moved to the center of the village, wearing a military uniform.

Since it wasn’t that late at night yet, there were some people who headed to the bar or chatted with lovers to get into the mood, but no one noticed me.

In the center of Stemore, I used presence detection.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Presence detection.

The shadow spread very quickly, as if to prove that now was their time.

From creatures with a little mana to creatures with a lot of mana.

As I searched, the shadow relayed information to me.

When I got to the point where I felt a slight headache, the shadow that was beyond my control disappeared.

‘There is no one with contaminated mana inside Stemore.’

Should I go out and look for Stemore?

Thud…

After hearing it a few times, I continued to ignore it, but as the night became relatively quiet, those footsteps became louder.

Should we move towards the sound of those footsteps? While stepping on the wave wheel, I ran to a place where I could see a huge bridge in the distance.

The surrounding environment changed quickly, and the castle wall was passed through Shadow Dive.

Since the name is Mirage, I don’t know if I can reach it, but I ran quite a bit.

And I used presence detection once again in a place quite far away from Stemore.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Presence detection.

As the shadows spread, the contaminated mana was finally found.

And when I ran to that exact spot using a trampoline, there was a girl sitting there.

“Are you also a fragment of Shahemos?”

“Hmm. They killed people of a different race without hesitation, but I guess they can’t kill a girl right away?”

“Okay. Let’s find it on our own.”

The girl’s head was cut off with the sword of shadow.

As if it had happened several times, the girl’s body and head began to blur and disappear.

“It’s too much.”

He once again killed the girl who reappeared nearby.

“You’re such a troublesome type.”

“Are you going to kill me too? I’ll be nice to you.”

This time it appeared in the form of Seche.

There’s one thing I’m mistaken about. I can kill the real Seche, so what kind of nonsense am I doing?

In a place where there was nothing, illusions of various appearances continued to rise.

After showing one person, the number gradually increased.

They continued to appear every time people were killed by people who were sophisticated enough to be mistaken for being real.

‘The number has increased considerably.’

When the number of people around me increased to about 100, I threw away the long sword I made with Shadow Craft and made a large great sword and cut them all down in one go.

Even if this level of illusion is eliminated, there is no chance of major damage to the main body, but it is still possible to estimate the position of the main body to some extent.

Ignoring the re-created illusion, I ran towards the terrain where mana was slightly consumed.

Now, instead of people, flaming arrows, giant stones, and monsters began to appear and disturb me.

As if it was right to keep running in that direction without wavering, a huge golem has now appeared.

Suddenly, five golems the size of a house came out, blocking my view, and stretched out their huge arms.

Kwaaaaang!!!

He took a big step backwards and stepped backwards, and when the golem clapped his hands, a huge sound was heard.

‘I never thought I’d be able to use it in real life.’

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Flame wheel.

Shadow Circle.

As usual, I made five rings of shadow and created a spear of shadow to throw there.

What’s slightly different is that there is a string of shadows connected to my hand in the spear of shadows?

“Shadow Lance.”

Kwakagagak!

When the spear, which gained destructive power and acceleration as it passed through the ring of shadow, pierced the golem, I held on tightly to the string attached to the spear I threw, used Shadow Dive, and connected the two skills again.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Yeom-ae (炎靄).

As I moved while hanging on the window of shadow, I led the shadow that made up ‘me’ and moved a long distance in an instant.

For a moment, I felt like my existence was fading away, but I was able to regain my sense of self by absorbing the shadow I had brought and the surrounding shadows.

‘I can’t eat this twice?’

It was fortunate that the speed of the Shadow Lance decreased as it penetrated the golem. If it had not slowed down, it would have been a big problem.

When I came to my senses, I grabbed the spear of shadow in the air, made a shadow circle toward the floor, and threw the spear of shadow again.

Kwaaaaa!

At the beginning of the mountain range between Stemore and Edburnil’s estate, it collapsed, and I discovered a structure that shouldn’t be in the mountain.

‘It’s clumsy, but I captured the exact location.’

Arriving at the place marked by the princess and priest, I moved to the structure in search of the devil.
