Chapter 561 – Assassination Family Raven 6 (8)
“I couldn’t gauge the scope.”
“There was nothing that could be read when it was not revealed or when it was revealed.”
“At least the Sword Master’s inaction is of no use against the current head of the Raven family.”
The sword masters felt that they had ‘survived’ a while ago and confessed their true feelings.
By accumulating numerous practical experiences, he developed his Auras and not only strengthened himself with Auras, but was also able to manifest his sword energy. The sword of a knight pursuing honor was bent in front of his master.
The sword masters who arrived at the conference hall continued to evaluate each other.
Who is the strongest? What life trajectory did that person go through to reach their current position? The Sword Master was a special being who could read it.
Beings who could learn more from a clash of swords than from a thousand words felt a huge barrier to one assassin.
He just showed up, said what he wanted to say, and then disappeared, but Cian Raven felt that his ‘class’ was different.
In a somber conference room, the Empire’s crown prince, Refken Yurisian, stood up, gathered everyone’s attention, and spoke.
“I think it would be a good idea to scrap the plan to directly touch the Raven family. Instead, in order to isolate the Raven family, we will retrieve the coordinates of the warp gate leading to the territory and cut off all food exchange in the vicinity. Any further direct sanctions will be prohibited. It looks like there’s a chance you could get hurt.”
The kings who were eager to uproot the Raven family secretly agreed at this opportunity.
It was possible to predict what the outcome would be the moment a monster that was impervious to the strongest sword he had brought to show off came into armed conflict with the Raven family.
The death of a soldier, the death of a commander, the death of a superman who supports the kingdom, and the death of oneself.
In particular, knowing that his life was at stake, the first topic of the Continental Congress was decided to be the isolation of the Raven family, as Crown Prince Refken Urisian said.
When the kings who had been distraught because of Cian Raven quietly regained their positions, Refken Yurisian brought up the second topic.
“The second topic is… A hero. I guess you could say he’s a candidate for the Celestial Cult’s Hero.”
This was also a frustrating topic.
***
I was looking around the desert of Albirus to find a new home for Shaiden.
There was a problem that the warp gate could not be used unless you were inside the empire, but with my Shadow Mastery greatly increased, I was able to duplicate the warp gate.
Although it was not possible to create a warp gate using the coordinate line input method used by the Global Academy, it was possible to create a warp gate of this layer that uses coordinates recorded as pieces of stone slabs.
In order to check whether underground exists in the desert, I searched for empty space inside the sand using presence detection-salt and found something strange.
“What is it?”
In the vast space beneath the desert, at the center of it existed a gigantic creature with cold blood.
After standing in the presence of the creature, I used presence detection – spirit, just in case.
I could feel the vast amount of mana beyond humans in the being below.
‘Dragon.’
I learned that there was a being sleeping in the ground whose traces had never been found in the land of the empire.
Shadow Dive.
I immediately turned into a shadow and dug into the desert underground.
After passing through the very small gap where the sand would flow, the body that had been scattered as a shadow was restored.
‘Are you sleeping?’
A huge body covered in red scales that feels very dense but motionless.
Immediately, he put both his hands together and tried to use the Afterflame Breakthrough to end the sleeping dragon’s life, but stopped.
“I want to fight.”
I wanted to see what kind of magic he was using, so I made a spear of shadow instead of breaking through afterflames and threw it at the back.
Phew!
The spear of shadow, which was thrown without damaging the spine, pierced through the red dragon’s scales.
[Kaaaaa! What kind of crazy guy are you!]
The red dragon shouted loudly and raised its large red body.
My skin was slightly numb from the shout filled with deep mana, but a smile appeared on my face.
[How dare you wake me up! It is right to apologize for that sin with death!]
The red dragon’s heat began to condense in his body
Should I say that it is similar to trying to release heat using powdered salt after using a wave wheel?
It was obvious that if that huge mana exploded, this cave would be destroyed, so I stretched out my hand.
Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功).
The tremendous heat surrounding the red dragon’s body flowed into my body
Since I received very pure heat into my body, I needed to release it, and I chose Wozniel as that method.
Divine Craft.
Wozniel, created by converting heat into divinity and then pushing all divinity into it, perfectly reproduced the form of its heyday.
Floating golden hair, white silver armor, and pure white wings coming from the shoulder blades.
“Master. Please give me orders.”
“Suppress.”
“Yes.”
Wozniel lowered his hand from above and a white pillar fell from the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The red dragon, which had raised its body, was stuck on the ground, and the white pillar stuck in the skin-thin part of the wing was completely stuck in the ground.
As pure white light flowed from the pillar, the sparkling gold surrounding it caught my eye.
‘Preventing the explosion was the right choice.’
I approached the dragon, who was lying face down on the ground with his eyes wide open.
[What on earth are you? Why is an angel following you?]
“Cian Raven, the head of the Raven family.”
[I’m not asking about meaningless names! You are the devil that exists deep within your body… Is it the devil? Why would the devil want an angel?]
Most beings couldn’t read the demonic blood flowing through the Cyan Raven’s body, but the dragon certainly seemed different.
“Wozniel, release me.”
“Yes, master.”
At my command, Wozniel removed the pillar of light, and when the restraints on his body were released, the dragon’s body was engulfed in light.
A handsome man with long red hair, neatly dressed, slowly approached me.
“Human? This overflowing mana cannot be considered human. What on earth are you?”
The red dragon asked me in anger.
There was no need to tell me that I came from a place higher than this level, so I just ignored it.
“There is no need to know in depth. All I ask of you is to hand over this rare to me.”
“I’ll hand over the rare, so let me know! I’ll do anything to find out your identity.”
Am I that curious? When I slowly turned my head to look at Wozniel, Shahemos spoke through the sound of his soul.
(Why not tell them and make them slaves? Wouldn’t a dragon make a good gatekeeper?)
(If the dragon becomes the guardian of the family, I think he can ease his master’s worries.)
Even Wozniel wanted to avoid killing this dragon.
I was willing to fight until the end with a dragon of a different attribute, but the red dragon was not compatible with me.
“Good. I will tell you, so serve my family.”
“Family? Do you want to become king? I remember establishing a kingdom named after me before. It was probably Albirus.”
The royal family there had red hair. Is that because they inherited this guy’s blood?
“I’ll tell you briefly.”
The red dragon closed its eyes and listened quietly to my story.
From the fact that this class came from a place that can be called the Underworld, to the story about the Demon King.
And when the story ended, the red dragon opened its eyes.
“It is a being that can cut down a god who interferes with fate. It is not a god, but it is a being close to a god.”
“To be exact, it is called a first-rate ruler.”
“I will keep my promise. Is it okay for me to protect the Raven family?”
“You are very quick to accept it.”
“We know that the heavenly gods and goddesses created us, and we know that opposing foreign gods means throwing away our lives.”
Because it’s foreign news… If a transcendent person from another world comes to the world where God appears, it is not wrong to call that transcendent person an external god.
“Is that so? And other than protecting my family, I would like some help. A dragon who is said to be the lord of magic would be able to do it.”
“Okay. Instead, let’s set the exact term of the contract.”
*
“Uh…”
Rosette’s body stiffened when she heard who I had brought to the Raven family.
‘This is a normal reaction.’
It would be strange if someone who was going to see the land suddenly brought a red dragon, and you could accept it without being surprised.
“Rosette Raven meets the magical suzerain dragon.”
When Rosette spoke politely, the Red Dragon waved his hand slightly and said.
“This is the red dragon Alfgrid. Your relationship with your companion is based on a contract, so there is no need to be polite.”
“Yes… May I ask what kind of contract it is?”
“On the condition of running a few errands, you will become the guardian dragon of the Raven family for 20 years. I heard that most of the time you just have to play and eat.”
Rosette seemed to realize that the end of my contract with Alfgrid was the day Lupus became an adult.
“Then can you explain in detail some of the errands my companion mentioned?”
“They say all we have to do is move the entire building and build something.”
“I found a suitable location to build Shaiden. I also agreed to help build a new warp gate.”
“Xian, isn’t that place a dragon lair?”
“Correct answer.”
Princess Rosette, with her eyebrows furrowed, looked like she had something to say to me, but she seemed to hold back because she was by the dragon’s side.
I became a little afraid of tonight.
