How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 101

Xian’s sword was cutting through Atlanta’s body. The eyes of a guy whose remaining vitality is rapidly fading away.

Even so, Atlanta did not resist once.

It was just quietly chained up.

‘Is this the heart?’

There was a jewel shining brightly in the chest of such a guy.

A dark sea-blue jewel is wrapped around something like a tree branch and glistens.

Xian calmly basks in the light and examines his energy.

The energy contained within it did not oppose or reject Xian, but was just there.

Soon after, Xian reached for the jewel.

and.

“… … !”

Memories began to flow into Xian’s brain. The vast flow of memories created an illusion and appeared in front of Xi’an.

wide meadow. The giant Atlanta and a man with azure hair in front of it.

-What are you so worried about? If you do as I say, you will gain the power to rule the world.

the man talked

sweet offer. The reason this was sweet was because the man really had the power to make those words come true.

Atlanta knew it.

But he didn’t answer.

-Are you afraid?

-what!

At the man’s provocation, Atlanta awoke. The man laughed loudly at such Atlanta and talked.

―The guy is already running out of strength. It still looks like it has great power, but in reality it’s just a crappy guy suffering from the end of its lifespan.

—… … Then why don’t you guys figure it out? Why are you trying to drag us in?

-There is such a thing. Let me just say that my world exists under a different providence than yours.

—… … .

Atlanta is worried even after being provoked once.

He was really contemplating whether or not to convey the man’s words to the clan.

I knew that this decision would decide the fate of my clan.

Because I knew that the man’s words were the devil’s whispers.

-joy. What a foolish coward. It became. If you say you don’t like it, you’ll just find someone else.

-what?

―Even if it’s not you, I just need to contact another giant. It wouldn’t hurt to ask the fairies, beastmen, or humans to talk.

The man’s words pushed Atlanta’s back.

What if such a powerful being could help fairies, beasts, and humans? Then how are they?

I couldn’t leave it like that.

—… … I get it. talk to the king

Atlanta answered with her eyes closed.

In the end, you have no choice but to accept. Even knowing that this is the devil’s suggestion.

That fact made me feel unfair and resentful.

– Well thought out.

On the contrary, the man only smiled contentedly.

It was true that it didn’t matter if they were of a different race, but a giant would be the best. Because they are the strongest race among those on earth.

If only this species is in your hands, you will finally be able to punish that abominable Nemesis.

-What is your name?

Atlanta asked him with a sad expression.

The blue-haired man smiled and replied.

-Call me the princess.

My eyesight was darkened.

After that, the illusion that the heart brings is gone.

Xian’s expression hardened at the sight he had just seen.

‘Atlanta… … Is it the memory of?’

If he hadn’t been sprayed with hallucination magic before he died, he probably would.

And the man I saw in my memory. A man with azure hair who called himself the palace master who seduced Atlanta to kill ‘someone’.

‘The lord of Haeryung Palace.’

Although the names of the titles overlapped, Xian was convinced that he was the lord of the palace Haeryung.

Whether it was the main body or what kind of human body was taken and descended is still unknown.

However, the energy I felt from him was exactly the same as the energy I felt in Verium, when I was learning spearfishing.

“The king… … find the king… … . find my… … .”

He said it as if it were his last will.

“Looking for a king? Is it your king?”

giant king. A being that led and incited giants to invade the continent.

In history books, he is written like a demon king or demon god. And, of course, the guy who disappeared into the dark side of history.

“Is he alive like you? where? To the graves of giants?”

“… … .”

Xian quickly asked about the condition of the guy who was about to die.

But it’s already too late. Atlanta’s body had already hardened to gray and was in the process of being scattered as ashes.

The only thing that remains without losing its color is its heart. Water-colored jewel.

Even Xian absorbed all of the heart’s energy.

pounding.

his heart thumped loudly.

The energy that permeated all over the body gathered around the heart, and then began to spread out again.

Eventually, it became a huge flow and embraced Xian’s entire body.

It was an experience I had once before.

What I experienced when I fought Haqshi, the great warrior of the High Orcs.

“Whoa… … .”

Feeling the power overflowing in his body, Xian caught his breath.

He came down to the floor and looked at Atlanta’s corpse disappearing into ashes.

Because he was such a big guy, it was slow to disappear.

‘I never thought there would be a living giant.’

Ordinary creatures cannot survive that long. No matter how great a giant is, as long as there is a lifespan, that’s the same.

‘Is it because of those chains?’

The chains that bound him. I thought it might be because of that thing hanging from the ruins.

I wanted to take it, but unfortunately, the chains were disappearing as well as the corpse of Atlanta.

It seemed to be a chain that was completely connected to his body as well as his soul.

‘… … .’

Xian turned around as he left Atlanta’s body disappearing.

nothing to see here anymore I had to go find the Yeomno and the knights, and I had to get a report from Hector, and there was still a lot of work left to do.

at that time.

“Cuck!”

Hearing the sound coming from the other side, Xian looked there. There was a combination I couldn’t have imagined.

A man in a black robe who screams at the disappearing Atlanta. Looking at his appearance, he must have been a black magician here.

And Hector playing next to him and looking behind him.

Anyone can stand out because of his taller height and armor than Warlock or Hector.

“Pamela?”

“… … !”

Pamela Drake.

Xian’s eyes narrowed as he watched her tense up in surprise.

His eyes widened in an instant and looked at Hector.

‘There is no necklace.’

There is no slave collar that he put on for camouflage. That means, as I said at the beginning, that I succeeded in entering the warlock’s side as a spy.

Hector and the Warlock. The fact that those two and Pamela are together… … .

“You are safe, Sian Agrid. This side has already captured two warlocks.”

At that moment, Pamela spoke quickly as if hitting a player.

Apparently, he was spreading an aura that he didn’t have at the beginning and occupying the backs of the warlock and Hector.

Xian held back his laughter.

It’s going to come out like that, right?

“Two warlocks, what happened to Hector?”

“This guy, too, was only aiming for the moment of betrayal. As soon as the necklace was undone by a colleague’s hand, he immediately betrayed me.”

“okay.”

Xian nodded and looked at Hector. Hector avoided Pamela’s eyes and spoke to Sian with a smile.

-mind. dragon. king.

Seeing the shape of his mouth, Xian was startled.

Why did the name Dragon King suddenly appear here?

“Keugh! Hector! Never mind me, get that bastard!”

“uh? Ugh!”

At that time, Eden, the warlock next to Hector, screamed.

Hector stammered in his answer, then rushed at Xian with the speed of a beam of light.

In an instant, Pamela pretended to have missed Hector.

“draft! Run away!”

Hearing that sound, Xian calmly subdued Hector.

Kneeling on his back as he fell to the floor, Hector grabbed Cian’s hands.

It was very pleasant to Hector to subdue Xian legally thanks to the order to act, but unfortunately he had circumstances that could only make him happy.

Hector whispered softly as he pretended to press Xian closer to the ground.

“They say she’s an apostle to the Demon Dragon King, that woman.”

“An apostle of the Demon Dragon King? Is Pamela?”

“uh. Damn, I don’t care if you two fight, can I just cut it out? The old dragon king is so scary!”

“Yeah, no.”

“Keugh!”

If it was to be released simply, he would not have been unleashed with the shackles on in the first place. If I cut my throat and fed it to Ravi, I would have fed it.

While lightly ignoring Hector’s whining, Xi’an pondered the word, the demon dragon king’s apostle.

Meeting the Demon Dragon King in Everwhale. And the fact that the guy urged him to become an apostle.

It is a memory that cannot be forgotten.

“draft! I will definitely save you!”

“how… … How could you kill a giant!”

I couldn’t even hear the noise from the other side anymore.

Sian’s eyes turned to Pamela, who continued to talk nonsense.

Pamela Drake. The leader of the Holy Knights of the Purification Church. And the promising rookie of Cheondo-maeng.

‘That means he was an apostle of the Demon Dragon King.’

It’s a really odd thing.

Of course, I thought that there would be spies everywhere due to the nature of the Dark Magic Tower, but I could never have imagined that they would be in the high position of being the leader of the Knights of the Order.

‘How to use this information… … .’

Xian thought for a moment. However, it was not a problem that could be solved by thinking about it in a short period of time.

“draft! Cyan Agrid! How dare you kill my giant!”

Sian’s gaze turned to Eden in front of Pamela.

Atlanta talked about it. He said that ‘you too’ intend to use him.

It seemed that he was probably the one who tried to use Atlanta.

‘Did you plan on resurrecting the giant and controlling it?’

Certainly, if that were to happen, great confusion would ensue.

Not only will this territory become a mess right away, but the fact that a giant has appeared will cause the continent to fall into chaos.

The resurrection of the hegemonic race that suppressed all other races in the past and tried to dominate the continent was nothing but a disaster from the people’s point of view.

‘According to Atlanta, the King of Giants may be similarly alive.’

The purpose of the Dark Magic Tower seemed to be revealed little by little.

“When I came, he was already dying.”

“lie! It’s a lie! I mean, he was still alive! You must have done something!”

Seeing the screaming Eden, Xian glanced behind him.

Then Pamela stunned and brought Eden’s aura-clad hands closer together.

“Shut up, warlock.”

“What, what? You are… … Keugh!”

Eden opened his mouth as if he had something he wanted to say, but he couldn’t.

He’s not stupid either. He was well aware that Pamela would have to hide his identity from Sian.

‘You’re mourning.’

Although Xian had already heard everything from Hector.
