Chapter 258 – Crow -3-

“Little lies and jokes are my life and my passion.”

Even these words that came out of his mouth are both a joke and a lie.

Rather, out of necessity.

As a native of the Black Circle, Embryco is naturally one of his strongest skills in black magic and combat.

As a special feature, it has a spirit that can take the form of various birds.

A spirit that approaches worthlessness as the skill of the main body goes up.

While contemplating its effectiveness, Embrico came up with a plan and a contract.

In order to even challenge the contract, he needed a mountain of enormous wealth and sacrifices for human sacrifice.

At least with the support of the Black Circle, Embryco, obsessed with knowledge and greed, headed for the wealthy Nema Natas without any regrets.

They said that talented people are always welcome, and they readily promised support with a few conditions.

Embrico has a unique way of using spirits as a connecting point and medium.

I was able to proceed with the contract by meeting the high-ranking demons who were said to have names.

Has the form of a black dove and a stork, and is a small part of the power of Halfas, the 38th out of 72 demons.

It has the shape of a crow and has signed a contract with Malphas, who is ranked 39th out of 72 demons.

In exchange, Malpas likes lies, jokes, and scams, regardless of size, and eats them up to build up the power of Malpas.

To Halpas, give jewels provided by Nema Natas, or sacrifice a living human to build up strength when you say you are hungry.

‘With this power, it doesn’t matter if it’s Morgan, Yurgen, or Luke.’

Can you not have yourself?

He reached a new level by using a unique system that other warlocks did not have.

…

– Under Malphas’ Lies. Dirty claws and a blackened morning star. Make up your mind with open eyes in the cracks of the night.

“”···!””

The space where the Rark party repeatedly moved until the battle took place is dyed black.

As if ink had been spilled on plain water, the energy spread out, and the falling sunlight was covered by the darkness.

Did the four of them set foot in an independent barrier or space from the beginning?

They cannot tell if what is happening is an illusion caused by black magic.

‘The level is too high…’

The same goes for Chambers, who is quite experienced, if not a specialist in hunting warlocks.

I have never seen such sinister, so hideous, so terrible black magic even from afar.

– The Fuhrer’s hoarse voice. Jewels and velvet. The temple’s architect.

-Fortification.

The sacrificial box stirred, forming a translucent barrier around Embrico, and blades spread like thorny paths on the floor.

“Damn it! I can’t go anymore!”

Even after killing all the undead to earn time, Chambers and Lark couldn’t rush into Embryco.

Recognizing that the vanguard could not move easily, Lilyne and Alice began to prepare magic as quickly as possible.

Seeing the dizzying projectiles filling his field of vision, Embrico raised his lips in delight.

“Heh heh heh!!”

A cool, knife-like wind and stones protruding from the floor like awl hit the barrier of Embrico.

Coo-goo-coooung!!

“Ouch! These women have good spirits.”

Seeing the heavy magic hitting her barrier roughly, Embry Ko brushed her chin and smiled even thicker.

It’s hard to find a woman whose abilities are useful and whose looks are also worthy of attention.

I absolutely love both.

‘This is how fast-paced magic is… I’m good at improvisation.’

As soon as the magic is blocked with useless objects, a large amount of soil is moved to cover the blades on the floor and lighten the steps with wind magic.

The quick connection without dialogue was a movement as if they were sharing their thoughts.

“Kuaa!!”

Seeing Lark wielding a greatsword approaching him, the servant quickly grabbed the sword and took a defensive stance.

If there’s one thing he didn’t expect, it’s Lark’s strength.

Caan-!

Along with the blocked sword, the body loses control and floats up.

“Heuk!”

Chambers slammed the head of the unconscious servant who had crashed into the barrier of Embrico and smashed it.

“Huh! I told you to stay behind… I told you to attach a quick-witted bell, but you attached a lacking guy.”

Seeing that, Embryco sent her dissatisfied gaze at her corpse, only to click her tongue.

She stayed close and paid no attention to the rark party surrounding the barrier.

Thud! Kang! Quaang!

“Fuck it! It’s fucking hard! Hey! What about this!”

Dissatisfaction with Lark’s impatience as he bounced off the wall with his aura-clad greatsword.

Chambers kept his mouth shut and let the negativity go.

With that level of strength, no matter how hard you pound the barrier from the outside, it won’t get scratched.

Watching the underdogs struggle, he racked his brains for the best picture.

“Hmm. What would be good?”

– Caw!

“Ohhh! I’m not saying it’s wrong.”

– Moak! Aww!

A reasonable opinion from the contractor sitting on the offering box.

I need to recharge the power I used now in preparation for the time I face Morgan.

Quickly deciding on a plan and sending all the nerves he was preoccupied with, he caught the fluctuating movement of mana right in front of the empty sky.

The magicians’ desperate attempts to cast the chant with all their might.

-Black Stone Pillar.

-Pyo wind.

A huge hexagonal stone pillar that was about to be stamped out and crushed, and a strong wind that cut down the barrier and aimed at one point.

Wooooo!!!

‘I can’t just watch it… It’ll be dangerous if I get hit multiple times.’

The shock of the barrier shaking back and forth came, but Embrico acted calmly and manipulated the offering box.

Those women somehow wanted to have it even more.

The target of the black magic is the two men in front.

-Let the insatiable hunger gnaw at the stomach. With every breath, a thirst will suffocate your throat. It is a curse that turns the food you put in your mouth into ashes, and each drop of water will flow through your fingers and slide back like a cruel glee. They want food, but find no salvation. Suffer endless hunger and unquenchable thirst.

-Hunger and thirst.

The dark magic maximized by the leisurely chanting hit the two vanguards.

Black magic full of illusionary pain and malice, not to kill, but to break the heart.

“… Huh Eok! Cool!”
“Cuck!”

Lark and Chambers staggered, grabbed their weapons, and fell to their knees.

He grabs his throat, gasps for breath, and spits out a dry cough without stopping.

Seeing this, Alice and Lily’s eyes widened, but they couldn’t move easily from their seats.

Even the magic of the chant does not work.

The surrounding barrier does not budge even from the attacks of Rark and Chambers, who are wearing auras.

Towards the women who were rolling her eyes, Embry Ko opened her mouth.

“How is it? This body needs a servant to attend to it. If you two voluntarily sign a contract, I will release the men’s magic. The servant they killed was quite dear to me.”

“···Lie.”

Knowing what a contract based on black magic was like, Lilyne and Alice did not give an awkward answer.

‘Ah! I can’t stand it…!’

Blood collects in the groin to the point of burning.

Embrico enjoyed the most when he saw that expression. Time to see a woman conflicted and hesitant for her mate.

If you end the contract, release the magic and kill it at the same time.

The feeling of adapting a children’s book featuring a righteous warrior at will was close to omnipotent pleasure.

– Caw!

I didn’t even do it completely, but I feel the power of Malpas who loves lies and fraud with my mindset again.

“Since this magic only heightens the pain to the maximum, the mind will inevitably be destroyed if the time is long. Even if you make a decision in the end, if you don’t do it quickly, the men will be like idiots, so it becomes nothing but devotion.”

Lilyne’s eyes shook at the voice of the warlock who calmed her down and urged her.

Seeing that, Alice grabbed Lily’s collar with her trembling hands.

“Sister! Never! You must never cross over!”

“Alice···.”

Falling for the black magician’s words is tantamount to jumping into hellfire.

In front of an overwhelming opponent, there is no choice.

Living up to this point, knowing the cold reality, imagining that a prince on a white horse will come to the rescue is literally an imagination and an illusion.

So, it is secretly held in the heart, and paradoxically, it makes people give up at the same time as now.

“Keuk…! Kkuk! Cool…”

Lark and Chambers roll on the floor and writhe in agony as if they will soon die.

Alice, who might face a terrible fate in front of her own eyes.

‘···.’

Liliné, who realized that she had been fine for a long time anyway, made her own decision, biting her lips.

She wasn’t in a position to place conditions, but since her opponent might want something more than mentioning the contract, she should talk first.

“I-I’ll finish it by myself! Please let this child go too!”

“Sister! What are you doing!!”

Alice squealed and grabbed Lilyne, but her eyes were on Embry Nose without looking back at her.

“Ohh! Isn’t that wonderful…”

A man with such an upright disposition has a taste for subduing and despairing.

– Kyaaak!

I have to twist the lie one more time and come up with a way to lure that little girl into a contract.

If you do that, the power of Malphas you’ve used now should be more than enough.

“···Hmm?”

It was out of the blue.

It wasn’t the consecration of Malphas surrounding him.

A feeling of ripples and shaking throughout the authority.

Damn-!

A blade embracing pure white flame broke through the blackened space and dug into it.

Just one stab.

A crack formed in the wall that created the boundary with the outside.

When the stabbed sword slipped away, a bloody gaze looked into the empty space.

The dark red eyes met Embryco’s gaze exactly.

“…I found it. You bastard.”
