Chapter 473 – Assassination Family Raven 5 (4)
Out of nowhere, a devil named Escrow saw me and said that I was a body for the devil.
‘That guy seems to be possessed right now.’
Should I say that my possession skill is the same as mine before it was strengthened by Underworld Possession?
At that time, I couldn’t possess anyone due to the assimilation rate limit, but the difference seems to be that that guy took over the body of a wizard who was researching here.
“What do you mean by this body?”
“These are the words of a wizard who fearlessly tried to summon the devil.”
Escrow said, tapping his chest with his fist.
“I thought I was called by someone full of negative man suitable for summoning demons, but it turned out that this wizard’s body was borrowed from an assassin from the Raven family.”
It was easy to guess that the assassin of the Raven family was Terrance Raven.
I came to look for the matriarch who provided negative attribute mana to the wizard who was trying to summon the devil, but when I searched the cave earlier, she was not here.
“Do you know where the Raven family assassin went?”
“After reading this body’s memories, the assassin who helped me call me has left for the demon world.”
I couldn’t help but frown at Escrow’s words, which didn’t seem to be lying.
What Princess Rosette and I thought was that Terrance Raven would take in the devil and bring chaos to the continent, but he did something completely different from what we expected.
The wizard of the Magic Tower provided negative mana so that he could accept the devil into his body, and in return he received a way to the Demon World? It never occurred to him that he would not be on the continent.
(Are humans crazy to go to the Demon World…? No, are the residents of the Demon World in danger?)
Shahemoth has heard a lot from me about the humans named Terrans Raven, so I know roughly what he is like.
I don’t know if it’s the average of the Raven family’s past heads, but the head of the house always has a murderous intent and sharpens his sword, and if there is a reason to move, he moves directly and kills the target and returns.
I thought that the reason such a person went to the demon world was to relieve his murderous intentions.
I’ve been able to defeat the demon called Shadogi (陰影氣) because I have a special potion, so I’ve been able to defeat it so far, but is it even possible for Terrance Raven to defeat the demon?
‘It might be possible.’
I quickly came to a conclusion to my own doubts.
“Hmm… The mental barrier is thick.”
As I was making my own guesses about Terrance Raven’s whereabouts, Escrow muttered.
Do you have a thick mental barrier? Is Escrow trying to possess me now?
It seems that the effect of establishing one’s self, which provides strong resistance to mental attacks, is said to be due to a thick barrier.
“Hey. Was the cooperation you were talking about taking over my body?”
“No matter how much I train this wizard’s body, I don’t like it at all. If I enter that body, which is rich in Yin attribute mana, we can coexist and make the world a good place to call upon the Demon Lord. And aren’t we already accepting a demon? One by one, two by one. It just happens.”
A wizard with white hair and a bulky body held out his hand to me.
I don’t know why I thought the Raven family’s assassin would cooperate unconditionally, but I thought that the moment he held my hand and said words of agreement, it would be difficult to turn back.
(Master, if you answer, you will be bound by a contract. Just cut it down!)
Shahemos probably thought the same thing as me and told me to take out the sword first.
He was said to be a higher-ranking devil than himself, but seeing as he immediately ordered them to be cut down, it seems that he has not accumulated any virtue.
Instead of holding out his hand, he quickly stabbed Escrow in the chest with a sword made of shadow.
“Yes. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to completely submit to him and take over his body completely.”
At the same time as he said those words, a jet-black claw made of demonic energy rose from Escrow’s hand
Kaaaaang!
Two black weapons with similar but different properties clashed, signaling the start of the battle.
He made a shadow of a shadow in his left hand and threw it with the power of a spiral.
He said to Shahemos as the four different rotating bidos fell back slightly as they flew toward the escrow.
(Seeing you using your claws reminds me of you. You transformed into the arms of a werewolf and swung at me in the first place, right?)
(I created it as an illusion, so it’s different from that guy. It would be correct to say that it’s the original.)
(Is Escrow’s original race a werewolf?)
(Under that influence, the old wizard’s body also changed like that. Because the body of a normal wizard cannot withstand the transformation.)
Before I knew it, Escrow swatted away the spinning shadow blade with the two jet-black claws that sprouted from both hands and then rushed at me.
I made a huge shield using Shadow Craft.
Falunbo (破輪步).
Kwaang!
Then, he stepped forward, raised his shield, and ran forward, pushing the claw-wielding Escrow into the room.
“He was a guy who shouldn’t be treated like this! Kaaaaa!”
Escrow shouted from beyond the shadow shield, and he could feel the magical power increasing explosively.
Black and white twin wheels.
Accordingly, I created a ring of shadow and a ring of heat and resonated with it, and mana began to spread throughout my entire body.
Kwaaaaang!!!
Even when using the black and white twin wheels, I felt a huge impact that was enough to push me back. After being pushed back, I put away the shadow shield and created a shadow shield with both hands.
When the shield was removed, what appeared was a huge werewolf with white fur, Escrow, who had unleashed his power.
At the end of the large white hand were black nails and a wave of jet-black energy formed on them, and it seemed to have the power to destroy the clumsily made Shadow Craft weapon.
Yeonhwan-ryu(連環流) Breaking through the spiral (螺旋突破).
He threw the eight blades held in both hands toward Escrow with rotating and piercing power.
Kakakakakak!
Escrow swung both hands so quickly that one had to be calm to read them, and struck away the shadow.
However, he did not hit all eight, but shadows were stuck on his side and right thigh.
‘It didn’t penetrate.’
It was a throw that contained the power of a spiral break through a strangely sharp shadow, but the fact that it did not penetrate and became embedded in the skin further raised the alert level.
As I felt a dramatic increase in attack and defense power due to changes in my body, I felt that I needed to apply a little more strength.
‘If I get completely close, I will be pushed back due to my defense.’
Using Perception, you can read the trajectory of an attack, but you also need space to avoid it.
As soon as I thought of that, I filled both hands with heat with strong destructive power instead of a shadow with strong penetrating power.
Using Flame Craft and wearing white flame gauntlets on both hands, I immediately knocked on the wall of the cave to widen it further.
Breaking through diffusion of annulus current.
Tuquaaaaang!!!
As the cave wall collapsed, various items inside the cave were scattered.
Because it was expanded without any reinforcement work, the space was expanded, but it became impossible to know when it would collapse.
If you fight with all your might, there is a very high chance that it will break, so let’s think of it as destroying it in advance.
“Does it even use flames?! It’s a body I want even more!!!”
The moment I attacked the cave to expand the space, Escrow took advantage of the gap that appeared, opened its large mouth, and lunged forward, leaning down to bite my neck.
It would have been fine if it had been an attack using my hands, but as it approached me in such a large area that I couldn’t avoid it with little movement, I couldn’t make the optimal move even if I used insight.
White wheel acceleration.
Using one of the two white wheels that can be used when possessed by Cyan Raven, he quickly moved laterally to avoid Escrow’s attack.
Kwaaang!
Escrow, who had no intention of slowing down as he narrowly avoided the attack, crashed into the wall of the cave, causing a cloud of dust to spread.
As I focused my eyes on the mana and checked the next movement of Escrow, I could see both hands swinging widely in the dust.
Release of strong energy.
‘If it’s a demon that can use magic, of course it can.’
I put on a shading device on a white gauntlet filled with white flame and attacked.
Burning fire.
Go go!
When the white flame surrounded by the black shading device collided with ten rays of sharp steel, an offsetting effect occurred.
At the moment of the strong attack, Escrow appeared from the dust, but his white fur was not stained with any dirt.
‘As there is a lot of magic used to maintain that form, if you take the time, you can definitely win by eating away at the escrow.’
I can recover mana using Yeonyeong Shinkong (連影神功), and thanks to the recharge boost, the speed of mana recovery itself is high.
However, I also thought that I wanted to minimize the variables because I don’t know what changes might occur if I’m pushed into a corner.
Calling Shadow.
As the shadow spread out from within my body, the cave that was shining with luminous stones was turned into complete darkness.
Similar to me, who can see even in this darkness, Escrow’s eyes did not waver, and I think it was because he was a werewolf with excellent senses.
Skill Link-Unlimited.
Shadow energy. Dominate Shadow. Shadow Craft.
Bababababababababak!
In the darkness, the shadow swords that appeared around began to fly all at once towards the only white escrow.
“Awww!!!”
A storm of demonic energy swirled along with a wolf’s howl, randomly changing the direction in which the shadow sword was flying.
And I could see a white moon rising in a cave that should have been dark.
