How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Episode 15

Roaring!

Guardian of the Blue Flame, Altima.

Her blue flame-clad sword grazed the last goblin.

“At the height… … Eh?”

The screaming goblin blinked and looked at its own body.

It was obviously cut by the sword, but there was not a single wound, let alone a cut.

Was it an illusion?

The goblin’s simple head couldn’t think of anything more.

Just because his body was fine, he rushed at the blue boy again with great vigor.

however.

widely.

The moment the boy put the sword in, the goblin fell to the ground as well.

With an incomprehensible expression, as if he did not know what had happened to him.

“Allen! How about that one?”

“No problem.”

Allen smiled and talked to his roommate, Gail, who was running over waving his hand.

Gael clicked his tongue as he saw countless goblins lying at his feet.

The number caught in this short period of time was also a number, but what gave me goosebumps more than that was the fact that none of the corpses had a single wound.

“The real performance is sure, your flame.”

“What is it?”

Altima’s flame was no ordinary flame.

A purifying flame that punishes all evil and evil. It was a flame with the highest anti-magic characteristics.

The flame left the goblin’s body alone and consumed only the demonic energy inside.

“Something like that is very strange. It’s clean because there’s no blood, but I’d say it’s a bit bizarre… … .”

“… … game. do not say that.”

“ah! I didn’t mean to insult you. I’m sorry if I offended you.”

“No, I don’t care at all. There are people who hate it.”

“?”

Gail tilted her head, asking where anyone was but the two of us.

At that, Allen only smiled bitterly.

If you say such a thing, you can’t explain that the ancient spirit, who is very proud of his own flame, is very angry.

“Hey, Allen. I came with you and I have something good for you.”

“huh? What?”

Gail said while taking out the magic stone from the body of the goblin Allen had defeated.

“Look at this. Magic stone is clean.”

A purified magic stone that has completely lost its demonic energy.

While Gale’s hunted goblins only produced manastones exuding demonic energy, only clean manastones came out of the goblins Allen hunted.

Enough to deliver it to the magic tower right now.

“It’s nice to save on cleaning costs.”

“ha ha ha.”

Laughing at Gale’s joke, Allen also began collecting magic stones.

Goblins rarely use bones or leather. Other than magic stones, there was nothing particularly valuable.

A squirrel was watching them from a nearby tree as they were busy collecting magic stones.

misguided.

A squirrel with red eyes as it gnaws at an acorn.

‘Are you crazy about fire in the mountains!?’

Erze, who was hiding in the bushes, was horrified to see Cyan start the flames.

However, instead of that, one aggro was certain.

Fearing that the entire dwelling would be burned down, the goblins flocked to it.

“Keeek!”

“Kiruk! Kikireuk!”

The flames spread randomly towards the goblin colony.

Some of the goblins were put into extinguishing work, such as stepping on the fire and pouring sand on it.

and everyone else.

“Kiaaagh!”

I rushed to hit Xian, the source of the fire.

The first to arrive was the one with the fastest feet.

He swung a stone ax made by tying stones to a wooden stick toward Xian.

‘… … !’

It looked like it would fit for a moment.

Although it is a primitive weapon, it is not something to belittle.

Looking sideways at the dried blood stains on the axe, Xian brushed the axe away.

Kang!

Shed an ax with a skillful center of gravity movement. The goblin momentarily lost its balance and stumbled.

Taking advantage of that gap, he drew his sword.

Chew!

One of the goblins collapsed with a deep wound in an oblique line on its chest.

“Kaak!”

“Kiaag!”

The goblins turned their eyes away from what their comrades had done, and rushed at them.

However, they also met with results that were not much different from the first one.

Against the rushing goblins, Xian did not back down and cut them all down.

‘wow… … .’

In the bushes, Erze looked at it in a state of fascination.

Xian faced off against dozens of goblins alone.

Suddenly, I remembered the majesty of the white-haired female student I saw the other day.

She and the painting were completely different, but one thing was the same.

The fact that he alone overwhelms the battlefield.

“ah.”

Then she came to her senses.

Now is not the time for this.

She came to her senses and raised her magic power. Strange shadows began to appear in her eyes.

and.

A black line that only she could see stretched across her field of vision.

‘you can do it.’

Her ability that she had since she was very young when she awakened Mana.

Stepping on that line, her appearance and presence disappeared in an instant.

Hiding in it, she headed to the goblin colony.

Avoid the swarm of goblins and stay on the black line.

‘omg!’

Meanwhile, a goblin who had strayed slightly from the pack almost bumped into her.

It was over to the extent that she could barely turn and brush her body, but her chest was still beating.

‘Didn’t you notice?’

The goblin didn’t notice Herzee passing by, perhaps because his eyes were blinded while looking at Xian.

she stroked her chest

Originally, it would have been discovered here.

This ability covers the eyes and ears of the enemy, but does not remove the sense of touch.

If Xi’an hadn’t run amok like that, the operation here would have failed.

‘Whoa.’

After a moment of relief, she raised her tension again.

And quickly entered the village.

There were many goblins still remaining in the village. She turned her head to find what appeared to be the boss.

“Aagh! Ouch ouch!”

Fortunately, the chieftain was quickly found.

It was because at the entrance of the village, the street was running rampant with a figure clad in ornaments made of bone fragments.

She hid for a moment and drew a dagger from her bosom.

I didn’t take it out and held it in my arms as it was, and measured the distance and timing.

‘The line is broken near him.’

Because of this, you can’t hide until the end and approach it.

The moment you approach and strike. At that moment, he escapes from the protection of the black line.

That’s why it was necessary to approach him at once and cut his breath in one blow.

‘Hold on a little longer, Xian!’

Feeling sorry for Xian, who was dragging in the goblins alone outside the village, she squeezed the dagger in her hand.

When I think of him, I want to jump in as soon as possible.

However, if you move hastily and lose the chief, all that hard work will be in vain.

“Kick squeak!”

“Kei!”

Even at this moment, goblins are running out of the village.

That means there are fewer and fewer goblins near the chieftain.

When it decreased to a certain line, she measured the timing.

three… … two… … one… … .

And soon, when there was only one left next to the chieftain.

fault!

she ran

‘I don’t know yet!’

She came out of the line, but the chieftain hadn’t noticed her presence yet.

“Kieek!?”

Eventually, when the chief got frightened and turned around.

Already she was putting the Chief within her streets.

She pulled out the dagger from her bosom and cut the chief’s throat with it.

“Keeik!”

‘Shallow!’

But it was a bit shallow. Her body instantly stiffened.

Conversely, the goblin chief did not stop even while blood was spurting from his neck.

The difference in experience between her, since this was her first real battle, and the goblin chieftain, who had fought numerous battles.

The chief brandished an ax and attacked Erze.

The subordinate goblin next to her suddenly also shot an ax at her head.

her eyes trembled

My eyelids suddenly became heavy. My human instinct was to close my eyes.

In this brief moment, many things passed through her mind.

Whether you close your eyes or not.

A turning point that will determine her future life.

‘… … no!’

And she didn’t wind it.

I forced my eyes wide open to capture all the goblin’s movements in my field of vision.

Twisting his upper body to avoid both axes, he drew his sword again.

Push!

It didn’t miss this time.

‘next!’

It’s not over yet.

I didn’t relax as it was and even took care of the goblin next to me.

The corpses of two goblins were bleeding at her feet.

“Pu-hu!”

Seeing that, she let out a breath that had stopped for the first time.

Rejoicing at his achievements, he ran to Xi’an at once.

“It’s okay, Xian! I’ll help right away… … .”

Looking back with such joy, she couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

“The chieftain?”

“Uh, uh… … Killed… … .”

There was nothing to do or help. Because Xian had already killed all the goblins.

Erze swallowed while watching Xian store the sword.

When the chieftain is there, but there are only two corpses lying under him.

Nearly thirty corpses were strewn beneath Xian.

‘Am I not needed?’

She began to seriously consider her own existence.

* * *

Great Hill, a little deeper beyond the beginning.

The guy was there.

“Grrr… … .”

Appearance resembles a goblin. However, with his height two to three times taller than that of a normal goblin and the elastic muscles covering his whole body, he could hardly have looked like an ordinary goblin.

Goblin King.

A very rare mutation. An individual who has accumulated demonic energy over a long period of time and surpassed the limits of the race he was born with.

The guy, who could no longer satisfy his hunger just by preying on his people at the entrance, was heading deeper and deeper into the forest.

in front of that guy.

A man with unkempt hair and a shabby outfit appeared.

“I found the car.”

The Goblin King frowned.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like a guy who can stop him. His standing posture was awkward, and the energy he exuded was poor.

But with what courage did he stand out in his own eyes?

It doesn’t matter.

Anyway, one thing is important. That you are starving now.

“Khaaa!”

The guy roared and lifted the iron bars. And ran into humans.

however.

Kwajik!

He squinted at the sharp pain in his ankle.

Looking down, there was an animal biting its foot. A red-eyed wolf.

It wasn’t just the guy.

A squirrel, which was barely a bite away, fearlessly bit his shoulder, and a bird flew in and pecked at it, scattering cumbersome feathers.

“Heh, hehehehe.”

And the human bastard looking good at it.

The Goblin King’s patience did not last long.

“Kuaaa!”

It roared loudly and swung the iron spear.

All at once the wild beasts were torn to pieces. Porridge-like pieces of blood and meat splattered into the air, soaking Hududu’s body.

The smell of blood rising up.

Kreuk.

Feeling even more excited about it, the Goblin King took a step closer to the human.

Right away, that cheeky human will also be torn to shreds.

however.

“Stop.”

At the man’s words, his body froze.

The Goblin King’s eyes widened.

What the hell is this?

But he couldn’t even think anymore.

Dark blood began to stain his eyes.

Seeing the Goblin King like that, the man giggled to himself.

“Heh, heh heh… … . Don’t worry, student Allen. I’m going to save you before I die.”

Rumors will spread that he even gave a scolding to the guy he didn’t want to see, and threw his whole body to save the student.

Then Instructor Jung will see himself a little differently.

Really the best plan.

“Kaa… … evil.”

The last thing the Goblin King witnessed in his eyes dyed red.

It looked like a human being happily fiddling with a red stone around his neck.
