Chapter 557 – Assassination Family Raven 6 (4)

To be honest, there is nothing needed to clean up the Kingdom of Albirus in one fell swoop.

It doesn’t take that long even if you move alone, or if you call Shahemos and Wozniel and the three of them move.

I don’t think there is anyone in this middle world who can surpass me, at least among ‘humans’.

However, the reason why I am trying to move the Raven and Crow families is for Lupus, who is currently monopolizing Rosette’s heart and cannot possess my power.

*

There are currently four elders of the Raven family.

Assassins who have mastered Shadow Mastery and can use ‘Shadow Craft’, including the now disappeared Terrance Raven.

As I learned Shadow Mastery in reverse order, I came to use Shadow Craft first, but in fact, Shadow Craft is the last step.

It can be said that the worn-out assassin who has taken the final step becomes an elder if he chooses not to disappear like the wind but to become the family’s shadow or shadow.

This is the second time I’ve met you, I saw your face once when you became head of the household.

This time, I am coming to let you know that I have become the head of the family.

If the place where the Path of Revenge was previously located is to the south of Raven Territory, the place where the elders live is to the north.

Open the door of the old house to the north and go in to find a very small gap.

Shadow Dive.

If you turn into a shadow and sink down, you can meet the eldest of the Raven family.

[Customers come here often.]

[Isn’t it the head of the family?]

[The power became stronger while I wasn’t able to see it.]

[So. Why did you come to visit us?]

The voice was transmitted through a resonance similar to a conversation with two summons bound by a shadow contract.

“I have come to inform you that I have now become the head of the Raven family as Kairendal Raven has completely given up her position as head of the family.”

[I said that last time I came.]

[If the previous head of the family does not intend to take over.]

[It is right for you to take over.]

[Is that the business that brought us here?]

I thought that if they thought I didn’t have enough power, they would eat me or oppose me.

‘Can I deal with him now?’

I think you can use Dominate Shadow to separate the four people who are completely mixed up with the shadows and then insert divinity into them.

“I plan to assassinate the entire Raven family. I have come to ask permission for that.”

[Assassination using the entire family.]

[That’s interesting. Is the target that strong?]

[If you become the head of the family, you do not need to get permission from our elders.]

[If it’s the entire family, are we included?]

I don’t know where to answer first since four people’s voices are ringing at the same time.

So I decided to explain the outline step by step.

“I am trying to summon a demon from the Kingdom of Albirus. If I leave it like this, I think it will cause trouble, so I plan to use the power of the family to deal with it immediately. The elders can act as guardians of the family as usual.”

[Summoning the devil.]

[What is the price? A job of that magnitude would require the heads of hundreds of people?]

[Okay. When Raven moves, a price is needed.]

[The price of equal lives.]

When you ask the Raven family to kill someone, you have to risk your life.

This is knowledge that most people in the empire and surrounding kingdoms know.

The Raven family’s assassins were also trained that way, and they still take revenge in exchange for their lives.

However, in this case, I want to make a move, so I am mobilizing the family’s personnel, so there is no cost.

“There is no cost. Normally, you would take the client and the target’s lives and still have a long time left, but you would have to go far away, kill a few people, and then come back. Yes, it is inefficient.”

[Oppose.]

[Life in exchange for life.]

[The name of the Raven family will be driven to the ground.]

[The head of the house would do well to think again.]

It seems like he doesn’t mind moving the entire family, but he doesn’t seem to like moving it without receiving compensation.

From the shadows, a thick deadly force began to shoot towards me.

He spoke while silently receiving the deadly blows emanating from the ghosts.

“But you can kill a lot of them.”

Those words made me stop living.

“I think there are about 30 assassins available to the family right now, and each person can kill at least five. What would it be like if you killed one person at a time each time and then killed many people at once?”

Other people may have a hard time seeing themselves becoming insensitive to murder, but the people of the Raven family are different.

[It will be very fun.]

[Does this mean there is no need for moderation?]

[The conditions are too good, so problems will arise.]

[It will be difficult to come back.]

As the devil’s blood wishes, if the reins of the assassin, who was barely able to satisfy his desire for murder in the name of legitimate assassination, are loosened, he will end up like Cairendal Raven.

I will be so happy today and tomorrow when I can kill someone.

“It’s okay. I can tighten the reins that I loosened.”

Dominate Shadow.

I took control of the shadows just as I had figured out in my head how to deal with the elders.

The elders who spent their time melting into the shadows were fully revealed, but they could not be said to be people.

Should we say that the shadow forms the shape of a human being? I think it is a form that can be taken by losing oneself, omitting detailed descriptions.

“You have an amazing talent?”

“Still, I can’t say I can tighten the reins.”

“It wouldn’t work if it weren’t for us, right?”

“It would be good to show more.”

I can use negative mana and the power beyond that to subdue them.

Magic wheel.

When I created two rings of demonic energy within my body and resonated with them, dark demonic energy erupted from my body.

Even though the desire to kill those bastards who opposed my opinion rose, I did not move.

When I scattered the demon energy, the ghosts bowed their heads for me.

“Is it enough?”

“You will do so.”

I recovered the demonic energy that was trying to encroach on reason and lifted the shadow’s grip.

After confirming that the ghosts had returned to the shadows, I decided to escape from this space.

Shadow Dive.

After returning to the Raven family, I called Akerball Crow, who can be seen as currently in charge of the Crow family.

“I plan to dispatch intelligence agents to the Alvirs Kingdom.”

“Are you planning on getting involved in matters involving the devil?”

Akerball Crow had access to more information than Rosette, so there was no one who could compare to him in terms of information power.

If the position of information director does not suit your personality, it may be difficult to hold for a long time.

“Yes. Since becoming the head of the family, I plan to give orders to the Raven family assassin. He is the perfect opponent to move without paying anything.”

“You can see it that way. If we investigate the high-ranking officials using the clues that Cairendal Raven gave us, it will likely take about two months.”

“It’s taking longer than I thought?”

“It is called a kingdom, but it is clustered around a barren desert, so it can be said to be larger than kingdoms near the empire. Considering the time it takes to travel and collect information without deducting the number of people needed to monitor the interior of the empire, I think it will take that much. .”

Information can be transmitted through magical communication tools, but the Kingdom of Albirus is outside the empire.

Even if there was a big clue, data had to be collected from zero, so even if you were an intelligence agent for the Crow family, it took a lot of time.

“I just need to buy myself time to collect information.”

“Then we will organize the personnel right away.”

“Yes. Please.”

Aker Ball Crow bowed his head deeply and left his office without asking how I was going to buy time.

In order to become the head of the Raven family, you have to have almost monstrous strength, so he seems to think he will take care of it.

(Shahemoth.)

(Master, are you trying to send me all the way away? So that I won’t be able to see cute Lupus?)

(Get ready to use the warp marker. It will be faster if I fly.)

For me, it was most efficient to send only Shahemos to Alvirs, carve a warp marker, and move on at once, but I felt a little sorry.

If I could eat Shahemos and Wozniel in a balanced way, it would be okay to try it once, but Wozniel’s cost-effectiveness was not good yet, so I decided to move it myself.

‘When I go there, I plan to completely purify myself with divinity, so Wozniel will have a hard time.’

It has been well over 100 days since Lupus was born.

With the help of Yui and me, Princess Rosette completely recovered in two days, and with her two nannies and the Raven family’s servants taking turns taking care of Lupus, Princess Rosette returned to her work as the head of the family.

In the middle of her work, when Lupus whined that he was hungry, she stopped for a moment and nursed him. Compared to when she was pregnant, Princess Rosette felt very free.

“In the next seven days, Albirus will completely turn over.”

“If it had been inside the Empire, it would have been tonight. We bought time.”

You could just go through the warp gate and move right away, but it still took too long.

“If this incident becomes known, the empire and other surrounding kingdoms will also be very afraid of the Raven family. Xian, will we be able to protect the family?”

“I just learned that we shouldn’t do bad things as a kingdom. Still, if we fight, I plan to confront them head-on.”

“… No matter how you think about it, the Raven family has a problem with calling themselves an assassination family. Everyone knows that’s what we did, right?”

“I think so too.”
