Chapter 88

Episode 88. Evolution and Suggestion

“Hasn’t a girl with short pink hair passed by here by any chance?”

“huh? pink hair? I thought you were going to the carriage station a while ago?”

“thank you.”

As soon as Adrias heard the news of Lucia, he was following her.

I didn’t know why it happened, but I had to meet and talk with Lucia to find out.

“ha.”

Hot breath leaked out as he ran.

The side effects of the evolution of black magic were getting worse, and the body aches and headaches reached their peak. But he couldn’t give up on Lucia.

Adrias, who was running towards the carriage station, was able to spot Lucia boarding the carriage at the carriage station in the distance.

“Lucia!”

Seeing the wagon depart as it is, Adrias caught on to the passing wagon and rode it.

“Please follow me behind that carriage.”

Fortunately, I was able to catch up in time.

Adrias’ mind was complicated as he was following Lucia’s wagon and suffering from a fever.

‘What kind of behavior became the butterfly effect? It’s not like Lucia is dropping out, it’s the first time that all playables have dropped out.’

Perhaps because of Adrias’ urging, the carriage increased its speed and was gradually catching up with the opponent’s carriage. The opponent must have noticed that there was a wagon following them, and their movements were strange, but they gradually slowed down and faced us.

“what? Why are you following me?”

The coachman of the opposing carriage shouted as they ran side by side.

Adrias then opened the carriage window and called Lucia.

“Lucia! Lucia Everlast!”

Then, as if the voice had reached them, the window on the other side also opened and Lucia appeared.

“senior? Why are you here?”

“Stop the carriage first!”

It was difficult to have a conversation with the sound of the carriage running.

Lucia bit her lip, nodded, and stopped the carriage.

When the carriage finally stopped, Adrias and Lucia got out of their respective carriages.

“Why are you here, old man?”

“I will say it. What is it all of a sudden? Why did you drop out?”

To Adrias’s question, Lucia didn’t answer and just stared at the ground.

Seeing that, Adrias sighed and grabbed Lucia’s arm.

“Let’s go back. It’s not too late.”

“Thank you for caring. But I’m not going back. It’s already too late.”

She spoke and pointed in one direction.

Then, a middle-aged man with long white hair was walking by, carrying a long spear on his shoulder.

“what? Is it a gift event? Why are you even here?”

“Why are you here?”

Adrias and Salem looked at each other in bewilderment.

“You’re cheap anyway. Am I the one you would call you?”

“Salem. So why is Salem here?”

When Salem’s name came out, the coachmen who had been around until then widened their eyes. At first, I wondered if I had heard it wrong, but this time, because he appeared without changing his appearance, the coachmen who recognized his impression tried to run away in a hurry.

“Where are you going? huh?”

Salem, who disappeared for a moment and then appeared, blocked the coachman’s way.

And then it was ‘eaten’ in an instant.

“ah.”

Lucia exclaimed in disbelief.

On the contrary, Adrias shook his head and sighed.

In the first place, Salem Yedidia was a person close to the wicked.

He has a strong tendency to act on his own, but killing a couple of people before he gets into trouble is no big deal.

Salem made the two coachmen disappear without a trace and spoke casually.

“so. How long have you been talking?”

“Why are you here?”

“I don’t think I’ll say nonsense about not being able to go now.”

“ah... ... .”

Lucia was speechless and looked at him.

Salem was not a hogu.

“Lucia Everlast. don’t warn me If you do not follow me, I will kill Adrias Cromwell right here. I’m not kidding. Wherever you go, if you want to check it out.”

With a bloody warning, life poured out and Adrias and Lucia’s bodies stiffened.

I couldn’t move as if I was standing in front of a huge snake, as if living itself had been typified.

Adrias barely escaped the bondage by activating his body with mana and hid Lucia behind him.

There was no chance of winning against Salem.

But even so, Lucia couldn’t be sent down a path that could obviously be broken.

For now, I can only hope for Salem’s mercy.

“Salem. sorry. Instead, I will make up for the time Salem wasted in other ways.”

“compensation? Hey Adrias. Are you climbing endlessly because I treat you so well?”

Salem aimed the spear.

His mana gathering at the tip of the spear was unusual.

“The reward is your neck. this bastard.”

The ‘foul vicious snake’ trembled and then spread out in dozens of branches and pierced Adrias. Adrias immediately drew his sword and stopped dozens of snakes from gnashing their teeth.

visor! Chaejaejaejaejaejaejae!

Each snake’s head was imbued with mighty power.

At the same time as Adrias blocked it with her sword, Lucia spread a protective shield, but it was useless.

Adrias sweated as if he were dealing with dozens of excellent spearmen at the same time.

Fuck! hooked!

In the end, the attacks that could not be blocked began to enter the body.

The attacks of the snakes, strong enough to pierce even rocks, lightly pierced Adrias’s body wrapped in mana.

“stop!”

Lucia shouted and stepped forward.

“I will follow you. So, please save my senior.”

“okay. Don’t overwhelm me and come quickly. I have no desire to kill Adrias for nothing.”

Salem smirked at Lucia’s declaration of surrender.

As he removed the spear, the heads of the serpents stuck in Adrias’ body were pulled out.

Blood gushed out and Adrias staggered, but he managed to stomp Galaksur into the ground and hold himself up.

Seeing that, Lucia tried to approach her again, but Salem warned her.

“It’s over for you to act as you please. Lucia Everlast. Don’t be like a child.”

Lucia, who hesitated at Salem’s warning, stepped back with a pitiful look.

So Lucia headed for Salem, but still couldn’t stop looking back as if her eyes were not falling.

“Adrias. I’ll just let it go this time, but next time if you act like that, I’ll kill you no matter how much I like you.”

After that, Salem walked back with Lucia in the lead.

Adrias, who had no choice but to watch Lucia leave, managed to pull Galaksur out of the ground and stood up.

couldn’t keep

Futile feelings filled Adrias’ brain with a headache.

‘no. Not yet.’

There must have been something to change this situation.

The knowledge gained through numerous gameplay experiences will surely interest Salem.

At that time, the phrase was reflected in Adrias’s retina.

[Adrias Cromwell: The Dark Magician Series has evolved.]

[The talent ‘Dark Magician Spirit Series (Supreme)’ has evolved to ‘Black Magic (Supreme).]

Kkudeudeuk.

Salem, who was walking, suddenly stopped when he felt something grabbing his foot.

When he turned his gaze to the floor, he saw a dark shadow grabbing his ankle.

“wait.”

My head cleared and the chills went away.

Adrias Cromwell said, using the shadow magic he stole from Kyler.

“Salem Yedidiah. I offer you a deal.”
