“There is…a Zeifa over there.”
“yes?”
Ronan’s eyes widened. All of a sudden I couldn’t figure out what this meant. Why is Zaifa here, who has left for the South to hunt Nebula Clazier?
“It can’t be. How is Zaifa here?”
“I know. But… this energy is definitely…”
Adeshan’s breathing was quickening. The Werewolf, who had lost control of his mind, collapsed on his knees. Ronan repeated.
“It can’t be. There must have been a contract with the emperor.”
In the first place, it was fundamentally impossible for Zaifa to be here. The contents of the oath he made with the emperor included a clause not to set foot on the northern lands. It was to prevent rebellion by attracting fellow prisoners.
If this is violated, Zaifa’s heart will burst and he will die. Because it was a blood oath, not an ordinary oath. Therefore, Adeshan’s argument could not be established.
It must have been the wrong detection of other mana. Even monkeys sometimes fall from trees. Laughing, Ronan closed his eyes.
“Wait. I will see.”
“Yes. But Ronan really…”
Adeshan said something, but Ronan, who had gone into a state of concentration, couldn’t hear her voice. The slowly expanding sense stretched its antennae beyond the door. Sensing a familiar presence before long, Ronan frowned.
“Nonsense.”
I couldn’t believe it. Inside the door, I could really feel Zaifa’s presence. I couldn’t be confused with the thrilling momentum that made the hairs on my body stand up.
‘Fuck. What happened?’
I couldn’t understand the situation at all. But what had to be done was decided. After exchanging glances, Ronan and Adeshan moved towards the gate. The closer you got to the door, the stronger Jaifa’s aura came. Adeshan recited again.
“I’m sure…this is Jaipa.”
Ronan didn’t answer. Whatever was out there, I had to see for myself. The two people who arrived in front of the gate held each doorknob.
“I will open it.”
“huh.”
After exchanging simple signals, they pushed the door together. Shiiik… The massive double door opened with a heavy, stiff sound as big as its size. Ronan and Adeshan froze at the vast landscape in front of them.
“…ah?”
There was a huge space dozens of times larger than I thought. It was open on all sides, and the ceiling was so high that you had to tilt your head completely to look up. It is no exaggeration to say that about half of the nature was used to furnish this room.
Gorgeous furniture and decorations that could only be found in the Grancia mansion were also noticeable. Luxurious items filling the space made them forget for a moment that they had come to an old castle that was hundreds of years old. On one side of the wall hung a portrait of Jager dressed as an emperor. And that too in a very large size.
But it wasn’t the trivial elements that shocked Ronan and Adeshan. A group of fully armed beastmen lined up horizontally, glaring at them. At the barrier of beasts crossing the room, Ronan involuntarily spat out a curse.
“Oh, Niimi…”
It looked like a good fifty. It was different from the junkies I had dealt with so far. Lions, tigers, rhinoceros, reindeer, etc., each one of the beasts, who were big and looked like a fighter, exuded the energy of a strong man.
Because I was so focused on Zaifa, I couldn’t detect their presence. It was in the middle of a silence that seemed to have stopped time. Loud laughter erupted from somewhere.
“Keuhehehehahaha! You’re right, they really are looking for me!”
It was a laugh that I had heard so many times that it was vulgar. Ronan turned his head in the direction of the sound. In the deepest part of the room beyond the barrier of the beastmen, a Wear Tiger wearing an eyepatch was laughing and shaking his shoulders.
Leather with a sharp black and white contrast. A good-looking appearance that allows you to feel your own dignity even when you smile like that. Ronan, who recognized him at once, raised his eyebrows.
“Jager.”
It was undoubtedly Jayger. The gaudy appearance was still there. As fate changed, something seemed to happen, and the signs of becoming much stronger than in the previous life were also noticeable. Jage, who stopped laughing, opened his mouth with his hands behind his back.
“Kuhuhaha I was waiting for you, human!”
“Did you know I was coming?”
“Everyone knows. I knew that you were trying to kill me to dismantle the Union of God Beasts, and that you infiltrated the mainland to do so. Did you know things in the world could be solved so easily, huh?”
Ronan raised his eyebrows. Somehow, I thought the number of people would drastically decrease from the middle, but it seemed like I fell into a trap. Jager continued.
“Hehehe, you are such a bad luck man. If it wasn’t for my friend, I would have been able to carry out a surprise attack on Mr. Jager. The operation itself to infiltrate under the guise of being a prisoner was good.”
“friend?”
Instead of answering, Jage let out a vulgar laugh. It seemed that there was someone in the middle who noticed the plan and tipped it off. Suddenly, a mysterious figure standing next to Jager caught my eye.
“That’s…”
The giant with one head longer than Jager was wearing a dark red robe that completely covered his face. Apparently, the ‘advisor’ mentioned by the prison guards was the author. For an instant, Ronan’s face hardened.
“…Zaifa?”
Looking closer, I could feel it more clearly. The energy of Zaifa sensed from beyond the door was emanating from him. The outline of the body covered by the robe was very similar to Zaifa’s. After taking a deep breath, Ronan opened his mouth.
“Is it really you?”
No answer came back. Ronan twitched his lips. In fact, only the face was not revealed, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that the identity had already been revealed. Even if everything else was a coincidence, this unique ferocious aura was unique and irreplaceable like an aura.
Indescribable doubts, feelings of betrayal, and anger reared their heads one by one. The warning about Zaifa, which Nabi Rose had been constantly insisting on, rang in my ears. Remember my words, Ronan. Zaifa is dangerous.
“Say something, you son of a bitch.”
Ronan growled wildly. Again, the advisor did not answer. He stared blankly at Ronan and Adeshan, then turned to Jagger and said.
“You must die here. Do not forget my words.”
Ronan twitched his lips. The low, deep voice was also something I had heard many times. Jagger laughed and waggled his tail.
“Haha, don’t worry. Because me and my bodyguards are invincible. Why don’t we use the treasure you gave us here?”
“Then I will go.”
The advisor who said that turned his back. At the same time, a powerful stream of mana rose above his shoulders like wildfire. Ronan’s eyes widened as if they would pop out.
“what?!”
The mana emitted by the advisor was sparkling like the night sky looked up on a sunny day. For an instant, Ronan’s head turned white. It was undoubtedly the flickering mana that was the symbol of Nebula Klazie. ‘Why
is the mana of Nebula Clazier from Zaifa…?’
Dozens of hopeless scenarios flashed through Ronan’s mind. Suddenly, the advisor took out a scroll and unfolded it. The space around it distorted and a rift-like portal appeared. Adeshan shouted as if screaming.
“Ro Ronan!”
“Damn it!”
I was stunned for a moment by the shocking situation. I had to catch it and see what was going on. Ronan tugged at the hilt. As soon as the sword body dyed in vermilion was pulled out, a cluster of lights that attracted opponents was shot out. Faaaaa…! An adviser and a Wear Deer in the middle appeared in front of Ronan’s eyes.
“What is this…!”
“What?!”
The two people who faced an unknown situation shed embarrassment. As Ronan grabbed the hilt, the blade turned red like blood. If the advisor was really a jaypha, he shouldn’t have gotten his hands on it. Ronan swung his sword while spinning horizontally. As soon as the slash passed so quickly that they could not be recognized, a red line was drawn over the stomachs of the two. It was the moment when a sharp pangong sound resonated. Fuck! Weardeer’s body split up and down.
“Muyiyiik?!”
Weardeer’s eyes widened. The body separated by the waist lay face down on the floor. Fresh blood gushed over the advisor’s robes.
“Keugh…!”
“Damn it.”
Ronan gritted it. I could instinctively feel that I couldn’t cut through the bones and organs. It was because the skin of the original body was hard, and unlike Wear Dear, it was because it pulled back the body immediately after being hit by the sword. It was the car he was about to launch the second sword strike. Kwajik! The advisor’s kick, which flew like a bolt of lightning, dug deep into Ronan’s chest.
“Keoouk!”
Even when he was hit by an ogre, it wasn’t like this. Ronan’s body bent forward. bang! He flew all the way to the gate and landed on the ground as if he were slipping. Ronan, who managed to catch his breath, gritted his teeth.
‘I almost fell for it.’
It was a shock that would be believed even if the ship had been penetrated. If the knife had not been immediately laid down and stopped, it might have been killed or maimed. After spitting out blood, Ronan raised his head. The advisor was staring this way while clutching at the wound on his stomach. Ronan, who staggered to his feet, let out a laugh.
“Kuheuhe…that one looks quite…sick as well.”
“dare…!”
Apparently, the wound was deeper that way. A dark red puddle pooled beneath the advisor’s feet. The more intense sparkling mana shimmered and spread over his shoulder. It was good to be temporarily tied up, but it was not a situation that could be said to be very good. The beast warriors who filled the room were making a fuss.
“oh my god. Diomo has been beaten!”
“What did that bastard just do!?”
“Be careful, he uses strange abilities!”
Only then did I begin to notice the scenery around me. The corpse of Wear Deer, cut in two up and down, was strewn about. The intestines of a comrade glistening in a pool of blood thrilled the prisoners like a bullfighter’s flag. Fifty beast-like warriors roaring as if they would attack at any moment. It really wasn’t easy. Jage, who had been watching the situation dumbfounded, opened his mouth.
“What the hell is this…what happened.”
He was frozen, not understanding the situation. In an instant, the intruder’s knife flashed, and the advisor and one of his men were dragged away and slain. I don’t know what kind of magic he did, but I knew this one thing instinctively. That intruder is not someone to look at lightly as he thought. Making a quick decision, Jager made exaggerated gestures and shouted.
“Did you see that heinous bastard! My fellow countrymen, tear him to pieces!”
“Kuaaaaa!!”
Jayger’s index finger pointed at Ronan. The roaring beastmen burst into a roar and rushed at them. A shout resounded, enough to shake the fortress. After drinking the potion given by Adeshan, Ronan muttered, wiping his lips.
“…This is why I hate animals.”
Nothing else, it felt like my ears would fall off. Drinking the potion made me feel a little better. A wave of fangs and teeth was pouring towards the two of us. Apparently, in order to interview the advisor or the jager, we must first break through this wave. It was like. If I knew it would end like this anyway, I would just kill
everyone. Ronan, lightly lamenting his situation, jumped forward. Chow ah ah! A fight has begun.
