Chapter 412 – Assassination Family Raven 4 (33)

She thought she was able to end the battle unscathed thanks to Kaela Raven, who appeared when she had no strength to move, but her right fist started throbbing.

The impact she received seems to be felt after the battle, as her shadow armor breaks when she collides with Feldive’s knee.

I decided to go to a place a little away from the four bodies and take a rest.

Since all the trees around were cut down, I walked quite a bit and arrived under a shady tree.

Then he leaned his back against the large wooden pillar and spoke to Kaela Raven.

“Kaela, where did you start watching?”

The strange feeling of rejection she had towards Kaela Raven, which she had only met a few times after being possessed, was almost completely shaken off by talking to her.

The negative feelings Kaela had toward me were directed toward me, who had forgotten her past, and now that she has recalled her memories and built a new relationship, it is easier to deal with her.

“To be honest, almost from the beginning. Rani found out that someone was approaching first, and the director had to protect Shaiden, so I came out. It was almost the first time I saw you killing a warrior using a hammer, right?”

Because I deployed presence detection widely and did not fight, I did not notice that Kaela Raven was nearby.

If you saw the fight from the beginning, you also saw Flame Craft.

‘I was thinking about killing all the witnesses, but now they’re right in front of me.’

As I looked at Kaela Raven without saying a word, she said with the same warm smile she gave to the children of her family.

“He’s a badass as an assassin, but he fights well. I’m a little concerned because most of his techniques don’t seem to be Shadow Mastery, which I know. What’s the point? You’re going to be the next head of the family anyway, right? Then you’ll inform the family’s assassins.”〈 Br〉

Kaela Raven struck the player as if she had no intention of interrogating the source of the technology.

‘Is this my technology that will spread one day to the Raven family?’

Although it would be difficult for me to teach from the beginning by combining the results of skills, I thought that I would be able to pass it on someday, just as I created Namwon-gong (men’s original skill) by applying women’s skills.〈 Br〉

After hearing Kaela Raven’s words, I nodded and used the Revenge Spirit Art to recover mana and absorb the mana from the shadows of the surrounding trees.

Skill Link-Boost

Shadow Mastery. Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功).

Yeonyeongsingong (連影神功).

After absorbing enough mana to at least function as a sheep, I lifted my back from the wooden pillar and stood upright.

When I used Calling Shadow to call the night, I used all my mana and then used the skill Link-Unlimited, but my body was not filled with negative energy.

I thought that thanks to Dominate Shadow, mana consumption was minimized by making full use of the surrounding shadows.

‘I think I’m almost close to completing Yeonyeong Shingong… Is this perhaps more advanced than the Yeonyeom Divine Technique?’

In the case of Yeomyeom Shingo, heat is absorbed into the body and re-radiated, but Dominate Shadow does not absorb the external shadow into mana, but simply processes it and allows it to be used.

When I thought about the two skills, I naturally thought of the ‘future that will never happen’ that I saw when Choyulja was activated.

While remembering only fragments of the story involving Feldive, me, and Princess Rosette, I learned the Calling Shadow used by Cyan Raven in ‘The Future That Will Never Happen’.

I haven’t seen Dominate Shadow learned continuously, so I think this is a skill that was greatly influenced by me.

“Let’s go back to Shaiden. To return to Raven Territory, we will come out early tomorrow morning and use the warp gate.”

“It’s a little strange leaving today and coming back right away, but I had a big fight, so I need to get some rest.”

I headed to the entrance of Shaiden, not far from the place where I fought with Kaela Raven.

“It might be safer to move Shaiden. The Heavenly God guessed that it was in Kurt’s territory.”

“I need to talk to the director and the head of the household. I can’t lose the future of the Raven family by being stubborn, right?”

I nodded silently in the affirmative to Kaela Raven’s words.

Survival is more important than pride.

I contacted Princess Rosette and said that the mission was completed using the magic tool in Seika Raven’s room.

Having completed her mission in less than a day, Princess Rosette questioned me. She briefly explained what I had done today and returned to my room to fully recover.

I said I wouldn’t have sex with the girls today and lay down in my room to get a good rest and checked the status window.

I was thinking that Cian Raven’s growth seemed to have slowed down recently, but after completing this quest, he grew rapidly.

Shadow Mastery, who had been captured by the Black Spiritual Killing Method, was reversed, and his combat power increased significantly.

I figured out Dominate Shadow’s abilities by using Shadow Craft to create and destroy several weapons.

When I clenched and opened my fist, four shadows appeared in my hand.

As the limitation of Shadow Craft, which could only be made in one hand until now, was lifted, the throwing amount of the Shadow’s secret weapon quadrupled at once.

“I like it.”

The amount of mana distributed is meaningless to an enemy that must be fought with all your might, but enemies of a reasonable level can be defeated very easily.

Area attacks and long-distance attacks, which were lacking, have now gained some breathing room.

‘But what is the future of this class?’

It’s my first time seeing the future like this, but I still remember killing the person who knew the future.

Low Travis, who was presumed to be possessed, knew that I would come to kill him and made several plans to save his life, but they failed.

If I hadn’t been possessed, I might have been interested in things like the first head of the family’s seal, but there was no need to use that information to keep me alive.

After that, I told the head of the Terrance Raven family that the Crow family was strange, and the Crow family was destroyed, so the information related to that was of no use.

‘From there it was a complete mess.’

I think I made a plan to save my life and build a relationship with Roman’s hero party to kill Feldive and save Princess Rosette, but I ended up saving her.

However, if the future that Travis knew was the same as the future that I glimpsed, did someone ‘rewind’ this class?

I can move the time of the hierarchy by releasing the possession, but if I reverse it, it rewinds.

‘What. It’s not that important. I increase my strength by possessing Cyan Raven. That’s the most important thing.”

I remember thinking for a moment about keeping Travis alive, finding out about big events that would happen in the future, and figuring out how to become stronger effectively.

I didn’t want to be dragged around by a guy who knew the future, so I killed him right away, but now there’s no point.

The future has changed so greatly.

‘But if I knew the location of the treasure, I should have listened. I’m curious about that.’

As the position of the next head of the family became visible, I naturally became concerned about the Raven family’s finances.

And considering Princess Rosette’s child who would be born and grow up there, he had to earn more.

‘Ah. Feldiv came right away without checking whether he had expensive items.’

I got out of bed and headed straight outside Scheiden.

Since I plan to burn the body cleanly and get rid of it, it would be okay to pay for the funeral expenses.

The next day, when she returned to the Raven family’s territory, Princess Rosette sighed deeply.

“Xian, on the surface, you went out to make money, right? But when you came back, there was talk of Shaiden relocating? It cost a lot of money, right?”

I thought he would congratulate and whisper love for the birth of a child, but it seems that the acting head of the Raven family is prioritizing what is happening to the family.

“It seems like it’s been a while since the Celestial Church was certain that Shaiden’s location was Kurt’s territory. If the Holy Kingdom knew about it, quite a few people would be guessing.”

“The problem is that I, as the head of the house, have to make the decision while the head of the house is away.”

“Is it easier to select an assassination target by receiving information from the Crow family like before?”

At my question, Princess Rosette smiled bitterly.

Deciding on big family matters and deciding whether to take a person’s life are both things you cannot afford to make mistakes.

“It’s difficult to answer when you say that. And I’m thinking about not having the job of selecting the assassination target come to me. Rather than calling a member of the royal family to replace me, I think it would be better to go through the proper procedures. What that person did I think reading about evil deeds itself will have a negative impact.”

Now that I have finally heard the words of Princess Rosette, who seems to care about the child in her stomach, I am reminded of a being who should not be in the Raven Territory.

“We have not yet received the assassination fee from the Celestial Cult priest from the Holy Kingdom. Rosette, how about using that guy?”

“Ignoring the teachings of the Celestial Church and asking a privately sanctioned assassin to question the legitimacy of the assassination against the priest? I wonder how the priest will react.”

Princess Rosette also seemed a little concerned about whether my thoughts were fresh.

I went behind Princess Rosette, who was contemplating with her mouth closed, and gently hugged her body.

“I feel like this part of the story isn’t enough. Can you give me some time?”

“I have more work to do. We talk a lot at night. Would you like to go see the priest?”

“That’s right. There’s nothing we can do but reduce your workload.”

“Just being by my side is enough, but it would be nice if I could relieve you of the work.”

People have become more calculating.
