Auto Hunting With My Clones - Chapter 171

< Returning Duke (4) >

-Master, I think it’s over there?

Raven agreed to Sang-woo’s question.

-I guess so. let’s go right away

-yes.

They immediately approached the barrier where the monsters were concentrated.

Then you can see the walls and the soldiers on them.

“Please apply in the direction of the 1st Platoon!”

“Not enough shells! What is the supply?”

“It’s coming up now!”

On the wall built near the barrier, soldiers were busy moving and firing cannonballs at the other side of the barrier.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

The power of the shells was amazing, perhaps including mana.

only one

It was an insignificant effect to affect the army of monsters that swayed like a wave while being so densely packed that the ground could not be seen.

I wonder if the nuclear bomb can be sorted out.

Fortunately, I don’t know how it was maintained, but the dragon’s barrier showed off its strength by blocking the attacks of the monsters.

‘I’ll have to sweep it up a bit.’

Sang-woo and his companions, who felt threatened by the sight, immediately crossed the barrier.

Slowly –

A warm feeling like jelly wrapped around the body, and then escaped in an instant to the outside of the barrier.

As if to greet them, an attack from Cranid with blade-like claws, standing in the forefront among the monsters, came out.

“Where?”

When Sang-woo deflected the attack with his finger, the claw shattered.

grasp-!

easy hunting.

Compared to the horde of monsters that could number in the tens or hundreds of thousands, killing just one wouldn’t be noticeable.

‘I’ll have to feed the big one.’

While Sang-woo was contemplating what technique to use.

Raven had already fed one technique between the monsters.

[Dragon Wind Slash]

Suwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

whirlwind that swirls around the monsters that suddenly appeared.

Unlike usual, Raven must have used up all his strength, and the thickness was tens of meters, or hundreds of meters.

Raven wiped out tens of thousands of monsters in an instant.

However, the whirlwind of sword energy created by the Dragon Wind Cham did not stop there and began to move little by little, erasing the monsters.

Kwagwagwagwagwang –

Monsters that are cut away by the sword of the wind or caught up in the wind and soar high into the sky.

There were also monsters whose bodies could not be overcome by the tremendous wind pressure and were torn apart.

A whirlwind of dragon wind that passes by, grinding everything it touches like a blender.

At the same time, Raven began to drive the monsters out of the barrier little by little, throwing swords everywhere.

‘As expected, Master.’

Sang-woo thought that the original original was different even if it was different, so he prepared a big one himself so as not to fall behind.

‘Let’s go with the one I wrote earlier.’

Before coming here, Sang Woo-man’s secret story unfolded in the Palantos border area.

It was Nuclear Laser Wheel Wind.

A simple technique that simply radiates nuclear lasers and stirs in all directions.

one.

Kwagwagwagwagwagwa-

its power was not simple.

Most of the monsters in the barrier area literally evaporated in an instant, just as they had driven the monsters out of the Palantos area.

[Magic power increased by 0.001.]

[Muscle strength increased by 0.001.]

[Physical resistance increased by 0.001.]

…[The level of the Clone Spirit skill increased.]

[The level of the Overmind skill increased.]

[Ah The space skill level has risen.]

…Sangwoo’s stats and skill levels start to skyrocket in an instant.

However, Sang-woo did not even have time to be pleased with this.

-Disciple, before using a dangerous technique, I want to talk to you in advance.

Raven, who could have been caught in the Nuclear Laser, scolded Sang-woo as if he was slightly annoyed.

-Ah sorry. I didn’t tell you because I thought I could avoid it if it was Master.

-You could have avoided it, but be careful anyway.

-yep.

While the master and the disciple were arguing a little like that.

There was also an uproar on the walls.

“What is this…”

“Isn’t what I’m seeing now a dream?”

“Oh no.”

Sang-woo and Raven wiped out all the monsters in just a few minutes.

The soldiers argued over their identities.

“Who are these people? Is it from the imperial family?”

“I guess so. But it’s the first time I’ve seen that kind of outfit and face.”

“Aren’t you from Earth?”

Even among the soldiers, information about the alien planet Earth and Earth people had already spread to some extent, so they guessed that they were Earth people.

Because Earth’s supplies were flowing into Tibern.

And then it was.

The person who seemed to be in charge on the wall shouted as he saw Sang-woo and Raven’s alter egos still muttering outside the barrier, as if he had finally come to his senses.

– Thanks for the help! Who are you?

While saying that, the person in charge did not open the barrier for Sang-woo and Raven to enter.

Although he was grateful for wiping out the monsters, he seemed determined to point out the risk factor.

-This is Kaizel Raven.

Raven responded quietly to those words.

However, his words were right in the ears of the person in charge.

-This is Kaizel Raven. What a nice name… Huh? Kaizel Raven?

While the person in charge is perplexed.

Confusion spread among the soldiers.

“Is it Kaizel Raven? That’s the name of the former duke.”

“Right. Come to think of it, that hair color…?”

I thought they were similar only in name, but when I looked closely, the man who claimed to be Raven was a replica of his appearance.

While people were watching Raven like that, the soldiers of the Barrier Guard in the Sardubang area were perplexed.

the manager asked cautiously.

-Are you the former Duke of Kaisel Raven?

– That’s right.

Raven quietly nodded his head in agreement.

And it shocked everyone.

“The real Duke Raven.”

“The Duke is back!”

“Waaaaaa-!”

A commotion broke out on the walls.

The head of the guards was also dumbfounded.

-Are you really Duke Kaisel Raven?

-That’s right.

-Ah… In the meantime, we’ve all been worried. How long has it been since… Please come in.

Shortly after the person in charge reports something to the upper level using the communication port.

The entrance to the barrier where Sang-woo and Raven were standing opened slowly.

Afterwards, Sang-woo and his party moved slowly to relieve their guard.

They entered the safe area again through the barrier entrance.

Then.

fault!

With just one step, he jumped up the wall.

All the guards were already watching them closely from the top of the wall, but when they came up to the top of the wall at once, they all looked surprised.

‘This is Master’s estate. Hmm… It’s kind of ambiguous.’

Sang-woo was secretly disappointed.

Unlike the Palantos region guards who were matched with pretty cool outfits, the outfits of the guards in front of us were scruffy and different.

Of course, there was a unique guard outfit, although most of them had such outfits.

But it didn’t tease.

After all, he was in the position of a guest.

However, as if he wasn’t the only one who thought that way, Raven also spoke to the person in charge with a hardened impression.

“I want to go straight to the Raven duchy. Can you guide me?”

“of course. I just posted a report, and as a reply, Duke Raven… asked me to bring it. I will attach the soldiers.”

“Please.”

He was the captain of the guard, whose title was difficult to name.

Maybe it was because the former Duke of Hyundai was with me.

Soon, soldiers arrived to guide Sang-woo and his party.

Sang-woo and his party followed them down the wall and moved to the inner area of the outer wall.

At the same time, he was able to clearly see the current state of the Raven Duchy.

Most of them are grotesque people.

Their physiques were also mostly skinny, probably due to lack of proper nutrition.

Is that why?

There were hardly any smiles on the young people’s faces.

‘poor.’

Sang-woo felt sorry for Lee Jae-min.

‘Shall I make a donation?’

If Sang-woo wanted to, he could afford to support money and food right now.

However, we still do not know the exact situation.

‘Because a person named Nigel might pretend to be Master.’

That’s why I didn’t act hastily, and I was just determined to follow Raven’s lead.

How long did it take to walk around the city like that?

Finally, Sang-woo and Raven’s party were able to arrive at the mansion believed to be the Duke of Raven’s.

“Hmm…”

Raven’s complexion was visibly hardened.

Despite being dukes, the family’s residence was only a mansion rather than a castle.

Of course, from the point of view of the general public, it was a very large and nice mansion, but over the past years, cracked bricks were visible everywhere, and weeds were overgrown, as if the mansion had not been properly maintained.

– Master. The Raven duke’s situation doesn’t look too good.

-I guess so. This is so….

while looking at the surroundings unnoticed with eyes that are worried about Raven.

A middle-aged man ran out of the mansion, which had been quiet like a haunted house, with almost no attendants or servants in sight.

“…older brother?”

Same silver hair as Raven.

Similar appearance except for a slightly slimmer, leaner physique and a few wrinkles.

‘That person is Duke Nigel Raven.’

Sang-woo also noticed that it was Nigel Raven, Raven’s younger brother and current Duke of Raven.

And as soon as he saw him, Raven instantly had a bright smile on his face as if he had forgotten his worries.

“It’s been a while.”

Nigel stood in a daze at that laugh and then rushed at it.

“older brother!”

Then, Nigel hugged Raven without hesitation.

Raven, who was embarrassed for a moment, also patted Nigel on the back.

“Guy… you’ve had a lot of trouble. Seeing how old you are.”

Not joking, Raven said with an apologetic expression, feeling sorry for his younger brother’s wrinkles.

“I think it’s because I ate my older brother’s age instead. That’s why he hasn’t changed at all. haha.”

However, at that remark, Nigel spits jokes while shedding tears.

Seeing his face like that, Sang-woo was slightly moved.

‘The friendship is deep.’

It was a scene of two grown men hugging, but in Sang-woo’s eyes, it didn’t feel awkward or cheesy at all.

On the contrary, I felt their friendship warmed my heart even though we met after decades.

‘Master said that he doesn’t share power even with his family, so I thought he wouldn’t get along well with his family, but he didn’t. I guess Master was just worried that his younger brother might have changed.’

In fact, if 30 years had passed, I would be worried that their hearts would change, no matter how close they were to each other.

Even Raven, who had a deep composure, couldn’t avoid these worries.

And to put those worries to shame, Nigel was the same personality Raven liked back then.

‘I’m envious… I wish I had an older brother or younger brother like that…’ Then he would be very nice to me.’

However, when I imagined such a younger brother in my mind, instead of the imaginary brother, the face of a younger sister who looked like an enemy passed through my mind, only making Sang-woo feel uncomfortable.

After such a short hug.

After removing her body, Nigel examined Raven’s body and asked.

“Where have you been all this time?”

“…was on Earth. So I couldn’t contact you.”

“Ah…”

Nigel let out a sigh as if he understood the whole situation when he said he was on Earth.

he opened his mouth again.

“…I only thought that my older brother was really dead. I am very fortunate.”

“Sorry for worrying you…”

Raven lowered her head as if she was truly sorry.

Seeing that, Nigel shook his head.

“no. I’m glad we met again. Anyway, go inside. I think we have a lot to talk about.”

Following Nigel’s guidance, they headed to the reception room.

It was a small (?) mansion, but the reception room itself was better than the reception room at Palantos Castle I had been through earlier.

He seemed to be taking good care of it, though.

So they started a conversation with their buttocks pressed against the soft sofa.

“By the way, brother. Who is this person? You seem to be from Earth, can you introduce yourself?”

When Nigel asked who Sang-woo was, Raven answered.

-My disciple.

Raven started a conversation for his disciple with his own words.

“A disciple?”

Nigel was taken aback by those words.

-The disciple I saved from Earth. Since then, it is very strong.

At the words of his older brother, Raven, Nigel looked at Sang-woo anew.

According to Raven’s theory, who doesn’t usually talk empty words, he should have great skills.

Of course, over the decades, Raven may have changed as well.

‘No, my older brother hasn’t changed at all.’

Nigel thought to himself.

The appearance of the current Raven, who appears to be in her early to mid-thirties, as well as her way of speaking and personality, are similar to those of that time.

In other words, there is no lie in Raven’s guarantee that Sang-woo is a strong man.

Nigel, who finished all these calculations in an instant in his head, asked Sang-woo to greet him with a smile.

“Your brother’s disciple… that’s amazing. Nice to meet you. I am Duke Nigel Raven.”

Nigel lowered his head slightly.

When other nobles saw it, it was a surprise.

Because the duke of a country bowed his head with respectful words to the common people.

This was a look that showed how frugal and reasonable he was, who could almost reign as a king in this region.

However, Sang-woo is unfamiliar with the culture of this place.

He just smiled and was greeted.

“hello. I am Jeong Sang-woo.”

The two people exchanged greetings without knowing each other’s language well.

Feeling frustrated at that time, Nigel belatedly used an artifact enchanted with interpreter magic.

When the necklace was tapped, a mana wave spread from there, and the interpretation magic was executed.

-Ah, can you hear me now?

“Ah yes. Now I understand what you’re talking about. thank you

-you’re welcome.

All the preparations for such a smooth conversation are finally over.

They started telling their own stories.

Raven fell to Earth and

Nigel told what happened to the Raven duchy after Raven disappeared.

And Sang-woo, who quietly listens between the two of them.

After all the stories are over.

He couldn’t help but be furious as he listened to Nigel’s story.

“After listening to this, I realized that they are complete opportunists.”

Yes.

Raven was a swordsman so powerful that he was called the guardian sword of the empire and one of the grand masters.

However, after he disappeared, it became a weakness that there was no swordsman who could represent the duchy within the Raven duchy.

Since then, the position of the Duke of Raven has been reduced by other nobles, and his achievements have always been underestimated.

“Did you say the Bismarck dukes in particular? They’re really nasty guys there.”

Sang-woo said as if his stomach was about to explode.
