How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 99

When you fall alone like this, the first thing you should aim for is decided.

The way to join the other party.

It seems that everyone is scattered, but among them, joining the Flame Fury would be the best.

Or other articles are fine too.

‘If I were them, I wouldn’t let Hector and I join.’

Xian slowly descended the underground passage.

My feet were quite damp. It must have been true that there was a lot of moisture inside.

The temperature was low, but it was so humid that it felt stuffy. Even more so because the vision was all about seeing with a torch.

Because I was advancing through the labyrinth like that.

“Kuruk.”

ran into guys

They were the naga who were said to live here.

‘I really went out.’

Blue scales covering the whole body, webbing on the fingers and toes, and a mouth torn like a catfish.

He was holding a weapon like a fishing harpoon in his hand.

“Kuruk, kuruk!”

“Quick!”

Five such naga.

It was not a small number, but Xian’s expression was insignificant.

Naga was a tricky monster, but that’s in the water. Out of the water like this, it was no different than a rather strong goblin.

‘Ravi.’

There are still things I want to try out.

‘yes!’

When Ravi was called, the sword began to lift in his hand. Soon, the sword body bent greatly and turned into a hwando (環刀).

A form of saber primarily used by cavalry.

White electricity surged along the blade, crackling.

Geomyeong – Thunder Myeong (雷鳴).

It was a new sword obtained by absorbing the energy of Hector and the Thunderbolt Lord.

“Khehehehe!”

“Kurruk!”

As if they didn’t even know what this was flowing through the blade of thunder, the naga rushed at it fearlessly.

Stepping back slightly, Xian drew his sword at them.

Pajijijijik!

The five naga, who had been running without thinking, were helplessly caught up in the lightning strike.

“Kiaaagh!”

The naga who were charred in an instant.

They are guys with a lot of water, whether on the outside or inside the body. They couldn’t even withstand Xian’s single sword, and all of them were burnt to death.

‘Performance sure.’

It was more certain than the magic of the Thunder Mage. It was easy to use as all you had to do was draw a sword.

‘The shape of the sword isn’t bad either.’

The shape of the sword was also perfect for use.

As long as the blade is curved, it will exert more power especially when riding a horse.

Leaving the corpses of the naga behind, Xian headed into the labyrinth.

There were several crossroads, but Xian moved with one standard.

The criterion is the aisle with traces of naga movement.

‘Because if I look for a place where they appear, there will be something.’

At least there won’t be anything.

Pajijijik!

Burning all the naga he encountered, he went deep into the labyrinth.

* * *

“Catch it! That way!”

“yes!”

Xian wasn’t the only one fighting the naga.

Knights of Julio and Adelheit.

The knights stabbed their swords into the naga that Julio had caught by unfolding the thread.

A number of naga died in an instant due to the neat linkage.

“Whisyu~ It’s pretty.”

Julio’s eyebrows twitched at the sound of a whistle coming from behind.

“Hey, slave. Why are you following me?”

Whistle’s identity was Hector, who had been following them.

“You don’t have to go separately.”

“joy! If you’re afraid of monsters, honestly say you’re scared!”

There were some quarrels in the castle, but because of that, Julio wasn’t a personality traitor enough to leave a slave alone.

Giulio Tarnye said it because he thought about it.

“not really.”

Hector replied with a nonchalant expression.

That expression drew one more wrinkle between Julio’s eyebrows.

“sh*t! Master, slave, and very irritating!”

Briskly, he led the knights into the labyrinth.

Hector followed with ease.

He wasn’t actually intimidated by some of the naga, and he had his own thoughts.

‘If there are so many people, it will be difficult for warlocks to approach, right?’

His owner, Xian, told him to pretend to be a fellow warlock when the warlocks approached.

But he didn’t really want to do that.

It wasn’t a matter of being able to do it or not, it was just too annoying.

However, it is impossible not to follow orders. So what I thought was this.

Let’s not run into them as much as possible.

‘If I don’t catch and kill all the humans here, Lululala won’t appear.’

Although Hector doesn’t know much about the Dark Magic Tower, he does know one.

That they want to hide their identity as much as possible.

So if there are so many people walking together, it will be difficult for them to move.

‘hehehehe, I’m a bit smart too. Might be the best bookkeeper among ogres?’

He praised himself for his own plan and joined Julio’s group behind him.

Seeing Hector’s flustered expression, Julio felt like grabbing the back of his neck.

This side has more than one or two things to worry about, such as being wary of monsters or finding a way, but isn’t that slave just wandering around doing nothing?

I can’t tell you what to do either.

What do you mean a slave knows what to do to explore the ruins?

‘Why did that bastard from Xian bring a slave?’

I never knew. Did you bring me here just to run errands?

“hey! If you’re going to follow me, follow me properly!”

“Yes.”

Giulio took Hector, deciding that he would later charge Cyanom for this price.

Of course, even if he didn’t take care of it, he wouldn’t have followed it on his own.

how long has it been like that

Luckily, Julio and his party were able to enter a fairly deep part of the labyrinth.

Then there were those who stopped them.

“stop.”

Three people who were covered in black robes, suspicious to anyone.

Julio and the knights raised their tension at their appearance.

Who is it?

“Are you a mercenary?”

As the party’s representative, Julio asked.

However, none of the black robes responded to that.

Only one person responded.

Let him open his palm and press down on the air lightly.

“omg!”

“Ugh!”

cooong!

Julio and the knights fell to the ground under the pressure from above.

They tried to lift themselves up with strength, but it didn’t work out. It feels as if the air has a weight that pushes them all down.

In the midst of that, there was the only person in the group standing up.

Hector was the only one who was not attacked.

‘No, these guys, don’t they just come out in the open?’

Hector scratched his cheek as he looked at the black robed warlocks.

* * *

Xian continued to follow the trail of the naga deep underground.

Killed all the nagas and nagas along the way.

‘They’re getting more and more.’

The deeper you go underground, the more naga you encounter.

At this level, hypotheses about where the black magicians captured and brought them would disappear.

This 100% meant that there was a nest down here.

‘If I had prepared a trap like this, I would have checked the naga’s nest.’

Then there will be some traces of them there.

“Kyaaak!”

Jigsaw Jigsaw!

Sweeping away the Nagas who were rushing into ignorance with thunderclaps, Xian headed for a place where their nests might be.

And before long, he arrived at a large space.

A space with an underground lake that is wide enough to remind you of the sea.

Xian raised his sword.

‘It’s here.’

Eggs of naga that are packed like frog eggs in a lake.

There were baby naga swimming around, and there were also adult naga that I had encountered countless times.

And a huge naga lying with his chin resting on a small mound in the middle of the lake.

The boss of the naga here was clear.

“Kreuk? Kkeek!”

When Boss Naga saw Xian, he jumped up and shouted.

Immediately after, all the adult naga in the vicinity saw Xian and took up their weapons.

Seeing the guys rushing at them, Xian was careful of his feet.

Be careful not to touch the water of the lake and swung the thunderbolt.

A bright light flashed several times in the underground cavity with a crackling sound.

It was no different than before. Ordinary naga were all knocked out with that.

“K-Kekek!?”

Boss Naga screamed in embarrassment and jumped back.

Then they evacuated outside the lake on the opposite side of Xian.

It seemed that he was realizing, though, that the thunderbolt was his deadly nemesis.

‘There is a distance.’

Xian has a sword that emits lightning, but it’s a sword anyway. It’s not like you can shoot lightning bolts like magic.

I was able to shoot thunderbolts with the sense of sending out sword energy, but the other side of the lake was a little far away for sword energy to reach.

Well, in this case, it’s okay to throw a secret sword.

“Kekeke!”

However, Boss Naga, who did not know that fact, already laughed as if he had won.

The guy lifted the window upside down. Then, aiming at Xian, he threw it with all his might.

Sweet baby!

The spear flew at an unusual speed.

Xian held up the spear with his bare hand as if it was going to cut Xian’s forehead.

The power gauntlet’s incantation tattoo was shining on the back of his hand holding the spear.

“Suck!”

Xian turned the spear and threw it in the same way.

Boss Naga was frightened and lowered his upper body.

over that guy’s head.

Kwajik!

Before I knew it, the flying rain sword took it.

As it was, the body of the boss naga that fell to the shore of the lake flowed and soaked the lake.

‘yes!’

Ravi, who had returned, was returned to Xian with a thunderclap.

The remaining naga turned a blind eye to the death of the boss naga and rushed.

The naga rushing in at once and the eggs of the naga visible beneath the swaying surface.

Xian’s eyes sank.

[ Thunderstorm ]

[ Heavenly Sword – True ]

Kwakwagwagwagwang!

A bolt of lightning fell down Kwaagua along the horizontal path.

All the eggs inside as well as the naga exploded.

Soon, all that remained in the cavity were charred corpses and a lake stained with blood.

Whoa.

Xian caught his breath and polished his sword with his gloved hand.

at that time.

-Wriggle.

Xian stopped his hand and looked ahead.

what? Did you see it wrong?

A strange sight just passed by. As if the whole lake was wriggling… … .

“… … .”

Xian calmly looked around.

It cannot be dismissed as a mistake. It was clear something was happening.

And just like I thought, the cave started to shake.

‘Again!’

Sian gritted his teeth and lowered his stance. And he changed Ravi into a secret sword to prepare.

The floor collapsed once more.

While falling, Xian looked for a place to embed the secret sword.

However, an unbelievable sight came into Xian’s eyes as he fell.

‘… … !’

He barely slowed down and landed on the floor, looking up at ‘it’.

it was a giant

A few stones and moss, and mostly water.

The underground lake that Xian had just been in was so huge that it was barely around his shoulder.

The giant was chained in a thick chain full of strange characters.

“Ugh… … .”

Did they sense Xian’s presence? The boy opened his eyes and looked at Xian.

“… … Have you come to punish this sinner, Nemesis?”

Then, with unfocused eyes, he began to speak incomprehensible words.
