The Regressor Sells Giyeon 154

Chapter 154 – Apprenticeship

#154.

‘What?’

That death had irresistible power.

Goosebumps all over the body and hardened.

Even Kaldran’s eyes, which were glaring at Gaon savagely, were shaken for a moment.

In that silent world,

Peit-

A bloody energy passed through Gaon and landed on the sunspot.

And it broke the sunspot very easily and caused a backflow of mana to Kaldran.

“Cool—what is this… !”

Kaldran screamed while spewing blood.

But Gaon wasn’t looking at him.

Over there, a building in Guild Street.

“The upper rank of Mirnia.”

On the roof of the building Lucipheon had made for camouflage, there were two people.

Lena, who was built in an attitude of extreme respect.

And a black-haired woman walking with her back turned. A dangerous yet unstoppable presence, as if the concept of death itself had taken shape.

The woman flicked the cigarette in her hand and threw it on the floor.

Then, their eyes met bloody eyes that briefly appeared.

– See you later.

Her husky yet charming voice fascinates Gaon in a way that doesn’t match the atmosphere.

But he quickly came to his senses.

That shit is dangerous

I don’t know why he’s here now, but he’s the one who won’t do anything good to meet him as soon as possible.

Gaon muttered quietly to himself.

‘Rugiena Calliope.’

The identity of the woman was Lucipheon’s owner, Luciena Calliope, who was called the queen of the underworld.

She is gifted with her eye, which allows her to see all death in the world, and once targeted by her, her only escape is to die.

It was dangerous enough to have such rumors.

Gaon thought of her, and at the thought of putting her aside for now, gathered all her will and focused her power on her spear.

The vortex of flame that enveloped his whole body was concentrated in one point, and the tip of the spear glowed black and red.

“Huh!”

Sting.

The blow, which drew a straight trajectory and was therefore faster than anything else, cut through the air and lodged itself in Kaldran’s heart.

“Gagging—!”

The guy couldn’t respond properly, perhaps because of internal injuries.

He was just pouring out his hatred towards the world.

“Why… Why! If you guys were earthlings, you would know, right? How disgusting are these guys in the Union! We just wanted to live. I just resisted from you guys who were trying to subdue me just because I was a demon!”

The guy continued to spit out his words as if it had no meaning if it wasn’t now, even as he spewed bubbles of blood from his mouth.

Doppelgangers are those who were born with traits that would be repulsive to others. Among them, the king, Kaldran, had a deep resentment.

He did everything he could to resist the unreasonable truth of the world, which could not be accepted by both demons and humans.

In a sense, they are called incompetent districts and are no different from those who are persecuted.

However, he crossed the line.

“You just resisted? Then at least innocent people shouldn’t have been touched. You’re just greedy for power. Don’t even think about blaming others for it.”

Certainly, doppelgangers are those who are naturally at a disadvantage. But that didn’t mean killing anyone.

Gaon’s words seemed to have struck him to the core, and he opened his eyes and screamed out loud.

“Kuhhh… You too will be betrayed later. Certainly someday!”
“No, I believe.”

Even if everyone in the world betrayed him, there were people who would stay until the end, so he wasn’t afraid.

Gaon twisted his wrist one last time, adding even more power to the whirlwind of flame that coiled around his spear.

Big-Ah-Ah-Evil!

The guy couldn’t speak any more.

Due to the storm that hacks from the inside and the flame that melts everything, in the end, not even a handful of blood remains, and it just becomes void.

After everything was over, Gaon, who stayed in the air for a while, immediately felt an empty danteon and fell to the floor.

‘Is it finally over…’

I don’t even have the strength to lift a finger.

The life force flowing from the bracelet holds his lifeline together, but if he collides with the ground like this, he will die.

Gaon finally lost consciousness as he caught sight of the three lovers running from one side.

***

“Gaon-san, are you okay? Hayeonie, you feed me potions. I’ll start with treatment. Got it?”
“Yes!”

The two of them hurriedly ran to Gaon, who had been put down by Praus, who was relatively fine, and took action by sharing their respective roles.

Looking at the two, Priscilla’s face was bitter and complicated.

‘I’m glad I’m alive.’

He was happy that Gaon successfully defeated Kal Dran and survived, but he felt unfair that while the two were sticking together, he had to be conscious of others’ gaze and stay one step away.

She wiggled her hands together, then lifted her hand up when she saw her ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

‘Should I throw it away now?’

Instead, he puts on a ring matched with Gaon.

Imagining that time, Priscilla looked anxiously at Gaon, who hadn’t come to her senses yet.

Then, a familiar voice came from behind.

“Well done everyone! I never thought Lord Kaldran was a demon. It almost became a big dark cloud for the count family.”

He was the Earl of Barrymore of Montrio.

Priscilla, who had not even dreamed that he would be alive in the midst of the commotion, forgot her worries about Gaon and hardened her face.

When our eyes met, the count frowned and opened his mouth as if he didn’t like it when he saw Gaon lying down, but he couldn’t help it.

“He must have killed Lord Kaldran. He is a man with a serious sin, but seeing his performance this time, I have to show him special mercy.”

Priscilla felt her hands tremble more than before.

It wasn’t just because the Count had returned.

It was because she found Calidora sticking next to him and acting trembling with fear.

Her thoughts that came to her the moment she saw her, and the pressure to put them into action. All of those things collectively made it difficult for Priscilla.

But it has to be done.

‘For Gaon and the child.’

Priscilla placed her hand on her belly.

While she was making her own resolutions, Antonio, who was treating her wounded, approached her.

“You are safe. Fortunately, the.”
“I was able to do that by following the guidance of the knights and dodging quickly. It’s a good thing we made shelter in the execution ground. Thanks to you, no wounds. Ha ha!”

The Count looked at Calidora next to him with a pleased expression and burst into a hearty laugh.

It is a way to let her know that her affection for her is still high and her dependence on her is high.

Priscilla watched him and waited for an opportunity to step out.

“Your Excellency Count. Rather, there is one piece of information I just got.”
“Something? Are there any more demons hiding?”
“That’s right. There, Calidora-sama next to her is said to be a subordinate of the Doppelgänger King, Kaldran Orgius. So, do you mind if I check it out? It will be over soon.”

When Antonio pointed her politely at her Calidora, she cowered and her legs trembled.

Seeing him look as weak as if he would fall down at any moment, the Count was furious.

“What are you talking about! Make sense! Calidora can’t do that. That’s useless information. Let’s hurry up and clean up this place and start working on it.”

It was the count who was going to go to the mansion after talking to himself like that, but Antonio didn’t let it go.

“No. This is solid information. This case involved the demons. Please cooperate with the church. This is the agreement the first emperor made with the first pope. Please don’t complicate things.”
“What!? What did you say just now?”
“You just have to check it once. That’s it. Or are you sure you’re not trying to cover up the demons?”

Antonio already knows that Calidora is her doppelganger due to the information he heard from Gaon. Even then, some doubts remained, but today’s work has given me complete confidence.

The Count gritted his teeth at such confident words, and then calmed Calidora with a kind expression in an instant, as if changing a mask.

“Ma’am. Could you please cooperate a little? You only have to take the test once. It’ll be over soon, and it won’t hurt. I will make a firm protest later, so please follow me.”
“Ha, but…”
“Please.”
“…”

Even the Count, whom he believed in Calidora, agreed to the test and bit his teeth.

‘Why did this happen?’

Obviously, everything was going smoothly, but one free knight made a mess.

Calidora glanced at Gaon and moved his hand to pull out the smoke bomb he had hidden in case of escape in case of an emergency.

This object, which scatters mana fragments along with smoke, has the effect of blocking all vision and senses.

If you get out of your body right away and turn into a bug, you can avoid the crisis.

The fact that he had to be downgraded to a mere worm was infuriating, but it was inevitable.

It was just as she grabbed her smoke grenade to put herself into action.

Whirly Ririk— Arrive!

“Kyaa!”

The roots of her tree, which suddenly sprouted from the ground, carried her, and lifted her 30 cm off the ground as she was, leaving her whole body immobilized.

“You’re doing useless tricks. Be patient and take the test.”

Chorin, who had finished Gaon’s treatment before he knew it, was standing there holding out a hand shimmering with the magic of green light.

Her eyes were sharp and nervous compared to her usual kind and gentle appearance.

When everyone hesitated in the atmosphere as if they were going to be cut at any moment, the Count took offense.

“What are you doing now! Can’t let go right now! How dare you put your hand on a precious jade body! This lowly thing!”
“… Archbishop Antonio the Elder. Please do a test.”

When using the Mirror of Truth once, it takes time for the light to recharge, so there is no choice but to test it using divine power.

At Chorin’s words, Antonio nodded her head.

“Yes. All right.”

The Count ran wild all the way, but his struggles were nothing to worry about.

When I ignored him and pushed through the inspection, he raised his voice even more, but he treated me as an incompetent person and conducted the inspection.

And, before 10 seconds had passed, Antonio spoke.

“You’re a doppelganger, too. I will take it to the church like this.”
“What!? It can’t be! It is a lie!”
“It is true. It is clear that the magi who took control of the brain is clear.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! You guys are all conspiring and trying to shake the count’s family! What is everyone! Put them all to death!”

The Count squeaks like a pig and urges the soldiers and knights around him. At his command, everyone was perplexed but did not move.

It is also questionable whether it is necessary to be hostile to the church in the current situation where the fact that he is a doppelganger has been revealed.

Still, they had no choice but to do something, so they hesitantly grabbed their weapons.

Priscilla stepped into the immediate situation.

“Your Excellency Count. Please stop.”
“… Wouldn’t that be the place for you to step out? I haven’t forgiven you yet.”

The fact that the word forgiveness came out of the earl’s mouth was absurd to her, but she brought up her business without questioning it.

“Calidora Barrymore is her doppelganger. Is she going to defend the demons? That is an act of turning the church into an enemy. As the owner of the county, I hope you make a wise decision.”
“Gibberish! I see now that you meant to kill me and Calidora and seize power! Is it something you planned with that person on vacation? Just think I’m going to be like this! Catch them all! It is an order!”

Despite Priscilla’s calm persuasion, the Count could not calm down at all.

This is also all due to the obstruction of judgment due to the drug of subordination and the loss of the ability to control emotions.

In the end, the Gaon party, who believed that the collision could not be prevented, raised their magic power, but at that moment, small footsteps rang from behind the Count.

Thud-

The sound of a single footstep, though small, was strangely embedded in everyone’s ears.

And at the same time,

Took! Tuduk…

The Count and Calidora’s throats were cut and they rolled on the floor.
