Chapter 268
Episode 268
The stars in the night sky are shining brightly.
A chilly dawn in the darkened forest.
[Did you talk to Yuwol? I also have a story I want to tell about Shin Ha-yoon.]
Shin Yoo-seong received a short message from someone anonymously.
Of course, Yoo-seong Shin was the only one sharing this information, even though he had to be anonymous. Of course, the person who sent the message must have been related to him.
‘okay. It’s just a little bit of time added to the mental training that I would have done anyway.’
For Hunter, mana was not just energy. Saving mana was like polishing oneself so that it would not be disturbed.
‘Shin Ha-yoon’s secret…’
How much do you know about Shin Ha-yoon? Shin Ha-yoon was a blood relative, but to Shin Yoo-seong, everything was like an enigma.
At the age of 5, he already has unusual behaviors and abilities that exceed those of adults. In addition, the story of Yoo-wol, who witnessed reading an ancient language.
Shin Yoo-seong couldn’t figure out what the truth Shin Ha-yoon was hiding.
‘One thing is certain… Judging from the attitude shown by the Shin-O family, even the head of the household is nothing more than a means to her.’
If you have a stake in the Shin-O family and the Yoo family, great wealth and honor follow. However, Shin Ha-yoon was in the position that he would be happy to share the place with Shin Yu-seong only if he returned to the Shin-oh family.
The Shin Ha-yoon that Yoo-seong Shin knew was never a person who would easily give in to something.
If Shin Ha-yoon conceded something, it was all ‘investment’.
‘What is the goal I’m trying to achieve by borrowing my skills?’
Shin Yuseong retraced the information he had so far in his head.
[lie. But Yoosung. doesn’t care. No matter what you saw… No one in the world believes you or my strength…]
Yes. The actions Shin Ha-yoon showed at that time were absolutely not something a 5-year-old could do.
[That’s what I mean. Yuseong-ah… I was born to dominate everyone, to rule over the weak and under-leveled.]
Then.
What if Shin Ha-yoon is someone who has a ‘memory’, as if he had already gone through another life?
‘Is that possible?’
However, if you reasoned through these ridiculous assumptions, there were things that became clear.
Shin Ha-yoon’s knowledge of being able to read old books. And calculating behavior that surpasses adults. At the age of 5, he already had the ability to handle telekinesis freely.
‘It’s a possibility, but it’s not impossible if Shin Ha-yoon got someone’s piece.’
Of course, since most pieces can only be obtained from high-ranking dungeons or towers, it was strange to start at home.
However, without even such an assumption, the existence of Shin Ha-yoon could not be explained.
‘If I think of it according to my reasoning… Whose piece did Shin Ha-yoon get?’
That’s why Shin Yoo-seong was trying to put it together. Basically, in order to have a high assimilation rate, it was highly likely that the owner of the piece was a being who handled telekinesis like Shin Ha-yoon.
However, with the current information, that was the limit.
‘Even if I can only understand why I am collecting artifacts…’
But there was no need to give up already. Today, there was a relief pitcher who came to Gaon to solve Yooseong Shin’s curiosity.
Sagjak. Sagjak.
A brown-haired girl in a light dress in cold weather stepping on dry leaves on a quiet lake shore.
“Hello, should I say that bloodlines cannot be faked? No one knows about you anymore.”
And next to him was Yu-wol, a familiar face.
“It’s been a while. Yoosung.”
However, Yu-wol seemed displeased with the girl who followed him.
“You didn’t have to come in person.”
“I still wanted to see it for myself. But… it looks like you came here well. Shall we say that true blood cannot be deceived?”
Ergé held Shin Yoo-seong’s hand and put her nose on the back of her hand to sniff.
“…Did you ever think of donating blood for the poor?”
Ergé licked his lips with his tongue and licked his lips, as if he liked Shin Yoo-seong’s mana.
For Herze, the hunter’s blood, which had concentrated power and pure mana, was truly the ultimate gourmet.
So it is only natural that Erze, who had endured vampirism and starved for a week, covets it.
“If it’s this sweet mana… I’d be very happy to drink just one sip.”
Of course, Herze, who revealed his teeth in Shin Yoo-seong’s hand, was quickly grabbed by the scruff of the neck and subdued by Yu-wol.
“evil! Keck! What are you doing!”
“If you do that, I will make you a necklace out of garlic.”
“Ouch! That bastard’s garlic! I don’t know what you saw, but I neither fear nor hate garlic!”
In the end, Erze, who coveted Shin Yoo-seong’s blood, pulled her back and Yu-wol stood in front of Shin Yoo-seong.
“Yoosung. I called you because I wanted to show you this.”
Saaa- What
Yuwol took out of his pocket was a necklace with beautifully shining purple jewels.
Of course, it was no ordinary necklace. Judging from the enormous mana emanating from the purple jewel, the necklace is undoubtedly an ‘artifact’.
“This?”
In addition, the grade was also a treasure with a tremendous value beyond Unique.
“The name of this necklace is Aurora. A necklace worn by the witch Morgan. But the more important fact is…” “
Of course, it is the fact that Shin Ha-yoon is one of the artifacts the cunning girl was after. Even though it was stolen from us.”
Erze, who had stopped Yu-wol, took the necklace and infused it with a little mana.
Cheez!
As the unique crimson mana from Erze’s hand wrapped around the necklace, Aurora resonated with that power.
Goooung-
Erze, smiling as if satisfied, approached the lake.
“Now look.”
Then, as Erze immersed the necklace in the lake, the crimson mana that gushed out through the necklace spread toward the surroundings like paint.
No, it wasn’t just the lake.
The power of Aurora, which dyed the entire lake bloody, turned the blue moonlight of dawn into crimson.
This was a fantastic, but on the other hand, a very dreary scene of hell.
“Aurora is the dream witch Morgan’s necklace. It reacts to the owner’s mana and distorts the entire space as desired.”
Artifact of witch Morgan.
Necklace of Distortion Aurora.
“Morgan, the Witch of Dreams?”
If Ergé’s words were true, why did Shin Ha-yoon try to secretly obtain Morgan’s artifact?
And why did he want the fact that he was collecting artifacts and the name ‘Morgan’ not to be revealed?
but.
“okay. Was it June you?”
Shin Ha-yoon’s voice crosses the desolate forest.
Bubbly.
“Hello everyone? Whoops… have you come to a place where I couldn’t come?”
“As you said, Hayun. You really sneaked in.”
Seeing Shin Ha-yoon walking with a smile and Lee Hyuk guarding her side, Ergé’s words that Aurora was the artifact Shin Ha-yoon was looking for seemed to be true.
As Ha-yoon
Shin stretched out her hand toward Erje, the power of telekinesis pulled the necklace with tremendous physical force.
Wedge!
phut-! Wow Jangchang!
The world returns to its original form as Aurora’s barrier shatters like glass. Shin Ha-yoon looked at the aurora in her hand and smiled as if satisfied.
“I knew you were investigating my background, but you were the one who got Aurora. Jun, you are quite capable, aren’t you?”
Let Shin Ha-yoon raise the other hand holding the aurora above her head.
A purple owl with golden pupils flew over the back of Shin Ha-yoon’s hand in an instant
.
“You should have been careful. The bird listens to the day and the mouse listens to the night. Ah huhu, of course, in my case, it’s an owl.”
The owl Shin Ha-yoon handles summons a familiar. It was a skill related to the witch’s black magic.
“It was me who was surprised. I never thought you would show yourself like this. Wasn’t this series of events something you were trying to hide until the end?”
Shik-
Shin Ha-yoon raised one corner of her mouth high, but her eyes glared at Yu-wol with a cold gaze.
“What did you do well? Aurora is a worthwhile artifact to me. It’s because of what you guys did. The plan was messed up a lot.”
However, Shin Ha-yoon’s expression stiffened as he glared at Yu-wol.
“You guys don’t want Aurora back against me, do you?”
Perhaps in response to Shin Ha-yoon’s momentum, the owl turned into a rapier with a handle crafted like a feather.
Knock!
As the rapier stuck into the soft soil, Lee Hyuk pulled out the rapier and said, holding it.
“If you want, I will deal with you with all my might.”
Let’s look at Ergé with a face that says Yuwol is in trouble. Herze sighed as he touched his forehead.
“Oh… I didn’t even have the intention of starting an all-out war already. Of course, if this cute little boy helps, there’s nothing I can’t do…”
It seemed that neither Yuwol nor Erze had any intention of having Shin Yooseong intervene.
“Truck. So let’s think of this as a transaction. Seeing that she forgot her face and came here like this…” While
talking, Herzé laughed at Shin Ha-yoon.
“Isn’t it tantamount to confessing that your goal is related to resurrecting the witch ‘Morgan’?”
Shin Ha-yoon did not deny that he was involved with Morgan, as long as he was already suspicious.
“The resurrection of Morgan. It’s fun. It’s not perfect, but it’s similar.”
Shin Ha-yoon was reincarnated with Morgan’s memories. That’s why he thought this was his second chance to dye the world with the power of ‘dream’ and reign over all humans.
‘okay. It’s different this time.’
The successor of the Holy King.
[It’s time to pay the price.]
A knight of destruction.
The knight who killed Laplace calmly sentenced Morgan to death.
[The weight of the sin of colluding with the demons and disturbing the order of the continent is so great that even your life cannot pay.] As the name suggests, the
Knight of Annihilation drove a sword into Morgan’s heart and destroyed evil.
okay. Even then, Morgan thought it was the end for him. But now you’ve been given a second chance.
‘There’s no need to make a fuss already.’
In order to regain power and rule the world, Shin Ha-yoon also needed to prepare.
However, Shin Ha-yoon, who had quietly turned around, added the last words as if Yu-wol and Erje were annoyed.
“I know who’s behind you…but don’t make too much noise.”
Shin Ha-yoon and Lee Hyuk disappear with those words.
‘The assimilation rate doesn’t matter.’
Shin Yuseong thought while looking at the backs of the two.
‘The fragment Shin Ha-yoon obtained belonged to the witch Morgan.’
Coincidentally, there was another witch at Shin Yoo-seong’s party. A witch who would know the information about Morgan better than anyone else.
