Chapter 146

Episode 146:

There was a woman walking through the forest.

He was running to the outskirts of the forest, waddling with his lower body frozen.

“Shit shit shit shit shit!”

Fierce swear words poured out of her mouth without stopping.

Without even thinking about melting or burning the ice on my legs, I glanced back as if I was running away from something.

Even though there was no sign of her following, she continued to run without losing her mind.

Like a person who will die if he or she does not slow down even a little and run a little farther.

She was so scared that she ran away.

‘What on earth was the problem? Everything was perfect!’

From location selection to the results.

In her opinion, nothing could be more perfect on board than that.

It didn’t matter that the forest was part of Millennium’s territory.

They thought that with their skills, they would be able to fool the eyes of the masked people who came to visit them using the items they gave them.

‘They said that with that, you could fool Count Millennium!’

They also experienced firsthand the kind of barrier that surrounds the entire forest.

In a world overflowing with black magic hunters, suspicion was essential for black magicians to survive.

They themselves tested the items provided by the masked people.

Although the identity of the masked people was suspicious, the black magicians were not in a good position to investigate such matters one by one.

To be honest, I was skeptical when the warlocks came to me to offer support, but I was very happy on the inside.

They wondered if spring had finally come to them too.

“Why… why?”

The masked people who identified themselves as Terris were suspicious, but regardless, their skills were solid.

With this, no matter how much they are the magic tower lords, they will not be able to recognize themselves when this is activated.

Even though he moved with such confidence and actually worked in the forest for a long time, neither the Count nor his subordinates showed any signs of appearing.

‘Obviously no one should have known…’

How could someone weaker than him know something that even the Archmage didn’t know?

If it weren’t for the saboteurs who appeared just as their faith in Teris was growing stronger and their work was progressing smoothly.

They wouldn’t have pushed her this far.

I didn’t run away miserably alone like this, nor did I lose the results I had prepared for so long.

‘What is that like!’

The ecstasy she felt when she saw the summoned creature that showed strength beyond the undead species was still in her heart.

If it had been completed, the warlocks could have no longer been oppressed.

The key that was probably the hope that would free them was broken by one person and turned into powder.

“It’s all because of that guy Raymond!”

This wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for that damn guy who suddenly appeared and attacked.

No, if it didn’t happen, I would have been able to watch the completion with great comfort and joy.

‘No matter how much he is said to be the father and the son, this was too much!’

Count Millennium was the one who personally took the initiative and drove the warlocks to destruction.

But even that son of a man interferes with them.

No matter how rich they were, they had no limits.

“I will never stay like this. “I will get revenge somehow.”

She ground her teeth.

The feeling of loss, having everything I had prepared my entire life destroyed in an instant, was indescribably devastating.

It was as if she had ruined her life, and she had no intention of leaving the man who had ruined her life alone.

‘You have to become stronger. You have to become strong to take revenge.’

With her strength, she was fortunate not to be caught and killed while running away, let alone take revenge on them.

In particular, the magic that Raymond used to eliminate the undead was so creepy that even thinking about it now, my whole body felt numb.

Considering all that, it would have taken a huge amount of effort to get revenge on them.

To gain that power, you must not be in a place like this.

‘I’m still only in the 6th circle, but a warlock’s power isn’t limited to the circle.’

They say a wizard’s power depends on their circle, but a warlock is different.

Circles are important, but more important than that depends on the summons they control.

How many undead do you have and how good is the quality of those undead?

There was also a reason why continental people rejected warlocks.

Warlocks can create large armies, whether it’s 100,000 or 1,000,000, with just a corpse.

Moreover, if each of those million great armies had the power of a knight, it would be difficult for even an empire to oppose them.

There were more emotions and actions of warlocks than that, though.

The biggest reason why the continental people were hostile towards them was because they could make soldiers using only corpses.

“We have to go to the northern part of the country.”

There is no place for her to stay within the Serion Kingdom.

It was only a matter of time before the count heard that they had appeared, and when the count found out, he would hunt down the warlocks like before.

Serion was no longer safe.

In order to survive, I had to leave Serion, but that wasn’t easy.

‘Because other kingdoms will be the same.’

Once Serion sent an official letter of cooperation and the Holy Kingdom began to move forward, there was no place for the warlocks to stand.

Because of this problem, warlocks do not appear in the world.

Some of their decisions were hasty.

“In the North, you can grow your strength without worrying about what anyone thinks.”

As a place where hundreds of monsters were born and died every day, it was the most excellent place for her to develop her strength.

For warlocks, there was no place with more resources than there, but there were several reasons why warlocks did not go there.

One of them.

‘They said the mercenary king was guarding the entrance.’

The master, the Mercenary King, was always on standby in the northern city of ‘Fortress’.

The reason he was there was to stop monsters coming from the north, but if you dig deeper, it was also because of the warlock.

Since it was the best place for warlocks to develop their strength, it was a very dangerous place to hand over to those who harbored hatred towards the people of the continent.

‘There is a legend that there is a dragon, but that is just a legend.’

The second reason was because of the traditions that had been passed down before she was born.

In the North, there lives the most powerful creature on earth, who hates black magic and is anxious to kill all its users.

Because of that tradition, warlocks did not enter the North.

Although he was acting inhumanely, that was why he protected his superior’s words like his own life.

In addition, it was full of extermination orders and hunters, so I couldn’t even think about entering the north.

“It is a very dangerous place for a wizard to enter alone, so we must prepare thoroughly.”

Lastly, the North was a very dangerous place to enter with a light heart.

The untrained body of a wizard was dangerous enough to crush his head with a single punch.

Additionally, the monsters there had some degree of resistance to magic.

You have to use at least 3 circles of magic to deal damage to them.

Therefore, there were few wizards among those who entered there.

That place was called the Wizard’s Tomb after its name as Monster Land.

“I can do it. No, you have to do it.”

How can I live with this humiliation?

I felt like I wouldn’t even be able to sleep properly until I got my revenge.

‘Anyway, now it’s all or nothing.’

There was no way for her to survive since she had already caught the earl’s attention.

We can’t live in hiding forever, and now it may even be difficult to live in hiding.

Perhaps, while she was in the North, all of her other colleagues outside might be caught and witch-hunted.

In order to avenge them, she must work tirelessly.

“let’s go.”

After leaving the forest and melting all the ice on her legs, she headed straight to the north.

Although the Mercenary King was caught, she could have fooled him with the mana disruption crystal ball she had.

She moved like that and left. A little time passed and a man appeared where she was.

“Hmm… things turned out to be interesting.”

A man whose entire body is stained red.

“by the way. After all, my eyes are not wrong. “I can’t believe you used that kind of magic… I’m looking forward to the next time we meet.”

He muttered softly, ‘If it weren’t for the emperor’s orders, we would have met now,’ and disappeared along with the flames.

***

The 3rd prince suffered a mental blow from the warlock.

When the Count found out about this, naturally he became very noisy.

He is the emperor’s son.

The fact that the prince was attacked by a warlock in Millennium was something that could not be taken lightly.

The bigger problem was that a warlock showed up.

The warlocks, who disappeared due to the extermination order, have not been out in the sun for over 10 years.

But doesn’t the fact that he has shown himself now mean that he has that much power?

Moreover, because of them, the 3rd prince was even showing symptoms of hallucinations.

Serion had no choice but to find himself in an awkward position.

If done incorrectly, there could be diplomatic problems with the empire.

Regardless of the appearance of the warlock, the empire will only focus on the fact that the prince was injured.

-Ha… I’m in trouble.

As soon as he heard the news, the crown prince contacted me right away.

He must have had a headache, so he lifted his hand and pressed his temple and sighed.

“sorry.”

-What has the Count to be sorry for? There is no need for you to bow your head to me, as it is not your intention.

The crown prince shook his head at the count’s apology.

Then he turned his head and looked back at me.

-So what you’re saying is that you went out for a walk at the request of the 3rd prince and encountered a warlock?

“yes.”

-You didn’t know there was a warlock?

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have taken the prince with me. The only reason I took the prince out for a walk was because he was frustrated.

]

-Well, that’s true.

The Crown Prince nodded, saying it was not wrong.

-I hope you don’t feel too bad. It’s not me who wants to ask this question.

Know.

That’s why I didn’t question him.

It wasn’t that he wanted to doubt me.

I knew he was just asking a formal question.

If any problem arises, you will have to kiss me.

‘I lied a little bit, but it wasn’t a complete lie.’

I knew there was a warlock, but I went for a walk to check it out.

Half is a lie and half is the truth.

However, you can’t tell him that you knew about it and that you took him with you.

-I know you didn’t do it on purpose, but… you won’t be able to avoid censure.

The crown prince said royal inspectors would visit and was sorry for not being able to stop it.
