Chapter 927 00927 A Poisoned Chalice, Two.

... What? This polite, respectful knock.

I doubted my eyes for a moment. I thought I'd seen it wrong.

Knock, knock.

However, the reality is the same even after I close my eyes. That enormous shadow fist calmly gestured, rather than smashing the shield with all his might.

- Open it.

"Huh?

- It's okay. Open it. He wants to come in. Look around. T ran sl at ed by jpｍ tl.ｃo m

You want to come in? ’

Even the hearth made strange noises.

As I looked around, my eyes frowned by themselves. The silhouette, filled with nothing, stopped its approach. More precisely, it was circled around the protective shield I hit. with a little distance between them. Is it my mistake to wait quietly rather than under siege?

At that moment, during the long run, Ko Song suddenly moves his body. I was slowly moving with a haunted look on my face.

“High-play!”

I reached out for it somehow, but eventually I walked out of the shield.

However, something amazing happened as soon as I got out of the highway. T r a n sla t ed b y jpｍ tl.ｃ om

I remember the shadow zone in my head as a very, very scary target area. Of course, there was a place that kept the zero-code, and it wasn't that hard, but a place where the shadows were particularly cruel. It was because not only the visible shadow, but also the land that walked on its feet always had to care. If I did something wrong, I could feel my ankle twitching in the shade without knowing the rat or bird.

“That's right, that's right. Good.”

By the way, what's that look in front of you?

If you look at it as it is, when you gently sweep it away and touch it, the shadow hand is twitching to the left and to the right like it tickles. I think I see a cat waving its tail because its owner stroked it. As I know how ruthless that shadow is, I am dumbfounded.

… wait. Shadow?

“High-play. Are you okay? ”

“Yes? Yes. It's rather cute.”

No, don't make it sound so natural. Too much freefall on your own.

If my desperate heart has been conveyed, I can't help but talk to him.

“Ah…. Should I just say familiar energy? ”

“Familiar Energy? ”

“Yes, I feel strangely drawn to it. It's very intense. Anyway, Su-hyun, why don't you come out now? I don't think they're dangerous. ”

“ ……. ”

At the same time, the red barrier slowly began to fade. It wasn't me, but unfortunately, the magic will be unleashed by exhaustion or force majeure.

Tr an s l a ted by ｊpm t l.ｃ o ｍ Despite the disappearance of the Keep, the shadows that stream nearby remain silent. No, we don't seem to have any interest in it at all. I'm just following her around like she's dancing.

“I'm delighted. ”

At that time, Han So-young, who was looking at her mouth, opened her mouth quietly. She's happy. It's a bit of a surprise to me.

“Joy, joy, welcome, joy. I can feel a lot of positive emotions being driven to the Shadow Queen. ”

However, as soon as I heard the following words, I had no choice but to correct my thoughts. because it seemed to refer to objective information that was accepted as hypersensory. I think Han So-young made a similar guess to me from emphasizing the Shadow Queen as well. I recalled the passage of the monument that Vivian interpreted.

"Only those who are qualified can receive the greeting of the promise. ’

‘Infinite power awaits four and one. ’

‘Who lives in the shadows. ’

‘The path to it will be opened naturally. ’

Are you...

Maybe a qualified user, a monument, is playing the quartet? It might be a comfortable fit, but we have a lot in common. In addition, Yeon-ju died long before attacking the temple of promise in the first place. Therefore, we cannot compare the past and the present on the same line. I am not sure yet, but I think the situation is high.

Not only that.Hanso-young and Remain together. Queen of Swords and Queen of Iron. Come to think of it, so were those two. There are subtle corners where a true name or title is intertwined with the second and third boundaries. And the two women also did not set foot in the temple of promise. The rest disappeared without a sound at any point, and Han So-young...

Hey, let's not think about this. I don't want to be traumatized.

If there is only one catch, it is dry. The name of the fourth attack zone is sacred ground.

Suddenly, the woman who was called the Holy Queen passed through her mind. If my guess is right, I think one of these qualified is Yoohyun... It's not here now. I cut his throat myself.

Just then, as I was organizing the complicated ideas one by one, I felt something heavy comfortably supporting my butt. Then, the sensation of pulling the belly button tightly rushed. The startled and brief scream starts to make you look away, and the landscape you were looking at suddenly begins to soar into the air like a gunshot. T r a n s late d b y Ｊpｍtl.ｃo m

A moment later, as my body was shaking and stopping, I noticed that my legs were stirring up the air. Field of view is also located at a much higher elevation than usual. Looking down, I wonder what happened. A shadow giant, over ten meters tall, came up from the ground.

I wasn't the only one. Remnants, Han So-young, and Mardo were shouting, each on the shoulders of a Shadow Giant. Then Ko Yong sat on top of the giant's head, one head larger than the newly formed figure, and burst a crooked smile.

“What a surprise. What a surprise. Are you trying to give me a tour of the sky? Or where are you taking me? ”

What do you mean, they're taking her?

“! ”

The moment I thought about it, the Shadow Giant lifted me up began to move without warning. Instead of walking loudly enough to fit in the size, it moves like a sliding motion. It is also fairly fast enough to cool the face to the blown air. I never thought I'd get on the Blue Dragon Train here.

I still looked forward, struggling to gather the thumping breasts. In fact, I still don't believe it. I was anxious to take some damage all the way here, so I still feel confused.

Hmm. By the way, did I hear the road opens naturally?

“Ah.”

Then I felt like I knew where we were headed.

It was in the direction of the temple of promise.

Meanwhile, the same time.

When Kim Su-hyun and four women disappeared, the North continent expedition was in a commotion. Especially with the mercenaries and the Istantelle Low Clan. I have no choice. I've lost three prominent users, as well as Clan Lord. How can I just stand there?

The anger was so urgent that I had to break the veil right away. However, it is a law that has not been moved by Kim Su-hyun's full attack. But how can I break it? T rans late d by Jpｍ tl .coｍ

There were many people who cried and were in a commotion, but there were many who were still thick on the expedition, and many who asked them to wait and see what had happened.

As a result, the storm of commotion slowly subsided, and only Hamill Lord was reading the situation calmly. Of course, Kim Yoohyun also made a big announcement when Kim Soo-hyun disappeared. However, I had heard the saying earlier, so I was not rushing to think, but opening up many possibilities.

"That's strange. Why are there only five missing? ’

I wonder if something isn't right. Kim Yoohyun asked me to find Bian and read the inscription on the memorial stone again. And I thought about it quietly, chewing on the passages that I heard.

‘Shadow Queen, Queen of Swords, Queen of Iron, and…. ’

In fact, five people disappeared. ’Predictions focused on facts were close to the correct answer. The fact that he knew, the words of the monument, the sudden appearance of the pillar, and the process of five users disappearing in turn.

In other words, he quickly realized that this series of flows is related to each other. Kim Soo-hyun realized late because he was strongly tied to the experience at one round, but Kim Yoo-hyun was able to sense it faster because he was relatively objective.

“Huh? Don't you think it's brighter around here? ”

“Er... No, it's true. Suddenly the fog... ”

At that time, the story I heard hit Yoohyun's ear. Kim Yoo-hyun's eyes accidentally looked around. No, the fog was gradually dimming and the surrounding vision became clearer.

Is that what just happened? Turning around, this place also looks like a fairly old meadow, or a desolate place... No? "

That was the moment I thought about it. Yoohyun Kim suddenly trembled like he was struck by lightning. Then, like a madman, he swung his left and right and then hurriedly shoved his hand into his chest. You find a blue glowing communication bead in your hand that is tighter than you need to.

“… ha. ”

However, the next moment, Yoohyun Kim sighed unknowingly. It's because no matter how much magic you put into it, the marbles didn't react. It's like pouring water into a bottomless poison. This phenomenon meant one thing. It was clear that the film "Law" blocked the connection with Kim Soo-hyun's communication bead.

Of course, we can't just assume that Kim Soo-hyun is dead because of this.

But the problem was somewhere else.

No matter what anyone says, the northern continent's most powerful expedition is the Mercenary Clan. From the attack on two, three and four regions of the Steel Mountains a few years ago to the ongoing battle on the Eastern Continent. There is no place where the machine is not active. And the central user is Kim Soo-hyun.

He will.

Right now, right here.

User Kim Soo-hyun does not exist.

Moreover, as well as Kim Soo-hyun, Yeon-ju, Namdae, Mar, and Han So-young left. Strategically, yes. Five missing. ’It is a situation that cannot be thought of simply. Especially not anyone else, especially if it's Kim Soo-hyun.

Before the loss, Yoohyun was worried, but he had expectations of things. Maybe we can skip the expedition to the Temple of the Unchallenged Promise.

However, it was not something I would like to do quietly. Even if it turns out to be a guess, who knows how long it will take Kim Soo-hyun to return with zero code.

After thinking about it, Kim Yoo-hyun was immediately caught in horror.

‘Maybe…. ’

Because Kim Soo-hyun did.

‘We are now…. ’

The enemy may have arrived later than us, but they may have arrived similarly.

Are you in a very dangerous situation? ’

... Or maybe they'll come first and wait for us.
