Chapter 53 – Assassination Family Raven (11)

When I got a little far away from the Travis mansion, I was able to use the spirit spell perfectly.

Hiding in the dark, I passed through the bar where the alcohol and heat were fading away and arrived at the safe house.

As soon as I knocked on the door, Elbi appeared and let me in.

“Have you completed your mission?”

“Yeah. I don’t think they strengthened security that much, perhaps because of the target’s reputation.”

“Thank you for your hard work. So, will you be leaving on the path of revenge in the morning?”

“That’s right. And I have a mission to give to you people of the Crow family.”

I took out a handful of rings from my pocket that were on Low Travis’s desk.

“It’s a ring. Is this the ring that Law Travis ordered the servants to buy?”

“Yes. I don’t know why, but Law Travis claimed that the Travis family would have a ring symbolizing the cooperation between the first Raven and the first Crow families. Although it has little credibility, it seems like information that cannot be ignored.”

Elbi said as she looked at the rings with different gems I brought.

“Isn’t it just because I wanted to do something before I die?”

“It’s very likely, but I’d like you to investigate.”

“Yes, I understand. If it’s that kind of ring, it’s true that the head of the Terrance Raven family has one.”

Since I was done talking, I took off my coat and decided to sit on the sofa and sleep.

Wouldn’t it be better to reduce the toll on the Road of Revenge a little?

I don’t think it makes sense to pay 50 silver and go down a path full of guys who will kill you.

Today, in order to return to the family, I walked down the path where there were guys waiting with bated breath to kill the Raven family assassin.

“Die!”

Suddenly.

As soon as I set out on the path of revenge, I cut off the head of the guy running towards me with a single sword.

The sword made of shadows held in the hand had a better shape than yesterday.

Is Shadow Mastery an enhanced effect?

I didn’t get any new abilities, but yesterday I couldn’t take it when the paladin attacked full of divine power, so wouldn’t I be able to take it now?

I feel like I have grown enough at this level.

‘Will the people sent by the Travis family wait next time?’

There was a pretty good chance that no one would be sent for revenge.

Low Travis made his name known by being such an asshole, and although he ‘changed as a person’, I didn’t give him time to become known, so I killed him.

However, if it goes as he said, then people will start saying that he is a drugged idiot and that the real culprit was not caught. How should we deal with that?

‘Shall I reach the head of the family?’

Looking at her sitting in front of the head of the family, she looked quite bored, but it seemed like she would be very happy if it meant killing a traitor to the Crow family.

They would be very happy that the family could return to being the Raven family.

Then, will it become difficult to protect the princess who is close to the Crow family?

It would be easier to kill someone.

Today, no one ran towards me except for one person.

It seems that the guys who stayed when I came on the path of revenge two days ago don’t want to fight me, who came back after killing one person in just two days.

But if it’s not me, there’s no one else but monsters that use shadow magic? I will die before I can take revenge.

So before returning to the family, I said a word to the people on the path of revenge.

“Those who are still left should go home. At least a better future awaits them than death.”

The first place I headed to was the room where the client was staying in the Crow family.

Now that you have completed the request, it is time to receive the request fee.

The Crow family intelligence agent who had told me about the order had already heard that I had finished the assassination, so she bowed her head deeply, and I entered the room where the woman was.

“Is Rowe Travis dead?”

“Yes. He is dead.”

The corners of the woman’s mouth trembled when she heard those words.

I’ve finished my revenge, but now I can’t live anymore.

Looking at that, I think I understand why the crazy people of the Raven family received the request fee first.

That can also be seen as consideration in its own way.

Because we are human, our desires flow endlessly.

Right now, he wants to take revenge by sacrificing his life and future, but it is natural that after revenge is over, he will want to see the future that comes next.

So you have to kill him before he goes to assassinate him.

When the only wish the client had been the death of the target, he could die comfortably knowing that the moment he was killed by an assassin from the Raven family, that future would come true.

Because that is the value of the Raven family’s name.

The woman opened and closed her lips to say something, but then closed her eyes as if resigned.

“The request fee was received.”

Seokgeuk

I made a sword out of a shadow and cut off the client’s head.

After completing the request, Cian Raven’s assimilation rate began to rise again.

Unlike Lee Sian, who greatly increased the assimilation rate through memory, the assimilation rate rose steeply as the mission progressed.

‘Is this normal for Cyan Raven?’

As I left the room without looking back, the Crow family servants waiting outside went in to clean the room.

“I will go straight to report to the head of the family.”

“Yes, I understand. I will contact the Raven family.”

I left the Crow family’s mansion and headed to the Raven family’s mansion.

Before I left, two people went in with Cairendal Raven and Princess Rosette, but it’s a little scary to go in alone.

When I opened the door to the family hall and entered, Terrance Raven was sitting there looking the same as when I saw him two days ago, looking down at me with emotionless eyes.

I walked closer and knelt down on one knee.

“Cian Raven, mission completed and returned.”

“How many people did you kill?”

“There is only one person.”

“That’s it. Let’s go back.”

He waved his hand as if he was not interested in my answer and signaled to the guests, but he decided to say one more thing.

“The Crow family may be up to something.”

Terrance Raven heard me and lowered his flailing hand.

“It’s a masterpiece. What kind of masterpiece is it?”

“It seems like they are planning to completely eliminate the Raven family, become an independent intelligence agency, and join the imperial family.”

I have roughly summarized the story I heard from Travis.

The story of the Demon King and the Hero was hard to believe, and it had little influence on the family, so I didn’t think to bring it up, and it seemed like a good deal at this point.

“Who is the leader of the royal family?”

“I only know that she is not Princess Rosette but a member of a different royal family.”

When Terrance Raven gestured, a communication magic tool that was some distance away flew into his hand.

You can do something like that by giving physical power to a shadow.

“Matriarch Lorwyn Crow. I have something to tell you now.”

“Go right away. Terrance Raven, matriarch.”

And I put down the communication magic tool.

“I already knew the movements of the Crow family. I knew that a rift would arise when Raven was not like Raven and when Crow was not like Crow.”

“Did the head of the family already know?”

The fact that he already knew it means that Terrance Raven intentionally left it in the future that Law Travis knew.

Considering the matriarch’s behavior so far, is it because if the Crow family creates a rift, they can kill a lot of people?

“Everyone noticed the crack except for you, who was indifferent to anything other than the mission.”

I’ve felt that Cian Raven has that kind of personality since the assimilation rate was low, but he really seems to be a person who has no thoughts other than carrying out his mission.

The person I was most angry with recently was Kairendal Raven, and the reason was that if I die like this, I won’t be able to assassinate the next time, so I was so angry that I wanted to kill him.

How on earth does Cian Raven grow to become the ‘King of Shadows’? What on earth happened at Roman’s hero party?

As I was erasing the thoughts that first came to mind and organizing what I wanted to ask the matriarch, the door to the matriarch’s room opened and the matriarch, Lorwin Crow, walked in with big steps.

“Matriarch Terrance Raven, it’s rare that you found me first. I was curious about what was going on, so I came running right away.”

“If you think about it, it’s strange that the head of the Crow family came running right away. Didn’t they just fall away from the Raven family because they couldn’t learn Shadow Mastery?”

“It’s a very old story.”

“Yes. It doesn’t make sense anymore since the Raven family is the main family and the Crow family is the branch.”

“What does that mean?”

“Let’s completely separate the two families. The Raven family will form its own intelligence organization. How about the Crow family remain as is and do whatever they want, whether they join the imperial family or not?”

“Do you think the Raven family, which has entrusted everything to the Crow family except assassination, can run properly? I’m sure you know that I have served as the de facto head of the two families, right?”

“I know.”

Terrance Raven stood up and slowly walked towards Lorwyn Crow.

In terms of height, I felt like Terrance Raven was a little shorter, but I didn’t feel like he was shorter than Lorwyn Crow.

“I know that you hide under the name Raven and work hard to grow your power, but you think you don’t need Raven anymore.”

“Raven matriarch?”

“But Raven has never needed Crow.”

A shadow began to surround Lorwyn Crow’s body.

The shadow consumed Lorwyn Crow’s entire body at a speed that was completely different from when it enveloped Princess Rosette’s body.

“Cyan Raven.”

“Yes, matriarch.”

“Take Princess Rosette and leave. I will clean up the Crow family.”

There was a deep smile on the lips of Terrance Raven, who said he would clean up the family that served as the hands and feet of the Raven family.

‘I didn’t know you would do it yourself, but how hungry were you for murder?’

Quad deuk quad deud deuk

The sound of the shadow surrounding the matriarch of Lorwin Crow twisting freely and breaking his entire body was heard.

“I understand.”

To avoid the head of the house, Terrans Raven, who began to emit darkness rather than a shadow, ran through the head of the house and quickly arrived at Princess Rosette’s office.

“Xian, are you back?”

The servants at the entrance bowed their heads.

“What about the princess?”

“You are in the office.”

When I burst open the door and entered, Princess Rosette looked slightly surprised when she saw me, but her expression immediately changed.

“Xian, have you finished your mission and returned?”

“I have received a new mission from the head of the family. Princess Rosette. I have to leave the family for a while. Come with me.”

“Matriarch Terrance Raven on a mission? What happened?”

“The head of the family went berserk.”

“Let’s leave right now.”

Princess Rosette got up from her seat.

Having seen the family head a lot, he is one of those people who know very well what will happen if he goes crazy.
