Chapter 272: Promise (2)

Chapter 272: Promise (2)

A day.

Time was relative.

The vice leader of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.

Wolf sat on the workbench.

In the past, he would have been drunk and rolling around on the bed.

Clang

Wolf cleaned up his crossbow.

He didnt know how long it had been since the last time he cleaned up his gear.

He suddenly became aware of how dull his senses had been.

Did you carry out the request in this condition, bastard?

He was disqualified from being the vice leader.

Thanks to his natural talent, both his enemies and colleagues didnt notice Wolfs dulled senses, but he knew it himself. Perhaps his current strength was more negligible than when he was in his prime time.

Im glad my colleagues are merciful.

He was just grateful that they didnt covet the vice-leader position in the meantime.

Moreover, there was someone who alerted him of how dull he had become.

Yes, it was none other than Hoyeol.

He never thought the day would come when he would receive help from his employer.

And this kind of help, at that.

If you asked him if he received direct help.

That was not the case at all.

In terms of material, it was actually a loss. Wolf gave Hoyeol his favorite crossbow in the past. What Wolf received from Hoyeol was a strong emotion.

To be precise, its a feeling of being chased.

If he kept his hands still.

He felt like even the shot he was confident in would be caught in the back by Hoyeol. Even thinking about it again, Hoyeols talent was unbelievable.

Swordsmanship.

Magic.

And shooting.

Hoyeol had the talent to reach the peak in many fields. The only difference was the time it took for that talent to blossom.

Wolf could guarantee.

Someday hell jump over me.

Greater than Wolf.

Perhaps he would be recorded as the best marksman in the history of the Arcana Continent. When he thought about the future Just by being able to give even a small teaching to Hoyeol, he might feel satisfied.

Even so

No matter how talented Hoyeol was.

He couldnt surpass their leader in that regard.

The current leader of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.

Basically.

Kitch was the strongest leader in the history of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.

Of course, there shouldnt be a clash between the two of them.

Huft Wolf blew out the dust.

Anyway, may they both return safely.

As expected, the day wasnt long.

Did they say that one day here was four days in the Arcana Continent?

Wolf sighed as he folded his fingers.

Then it will be noisy for at least three days, our leader.

However, predictions were always just predictions.

?

Flare

In an instant, a burning sensation enveloped his entire body.

!

Wolf quickly came to his senses.

He looked through the door, window frame, and outside the window with keen eyes.

Mana or poisonous venom might have flowed through the gap.

No.

No strange smell was detected.

In that case.

What was the meaning of this pain that felt like his skin was being cut up by thorns?

Without hesitation, Wolf took off his top.

And he noticed.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Crackle!

It wasnt an illusion.

His skin was really burning.

It was a huge burn that covered his upper body.

!

Wolfs pupils, which were usually languid, trembled.

This definitely.

This was theShadow Gods Stigma.

It was the symbol of the leader of the Shadow Mercenary Corps.

The leaders symbol had been handed over to him.

What it meant was simple.

Something had gone wrong with Kitchs life.

*

As for the results, Kitch didnt keep her promise.

Flap

A crow showed up at the appointment instead of her.

If it had been in the past.

I would have been completely fooled, wondering what kind of crow it was.

This is why people have to experience things first.

Akshans guardian spirit.

Akshans wolf.

Thanks to seeing Tempest with my own eyes, I could recognize it. Just like how Akshan had Akshans wolf, it seemed the Shadow Mercenary Corps also had a crow that served a similar role.

Stare

When I looked into the crows red eyes, it was like telepathy.

Kitchs voice rang in my head.

Sk

Wolf slowly rolled up his top.

Soon the burn covering the upper body was revealed.

Then my questions grow bigger. Why did the symbol of the Shadow Mercenary Corps leader, Shadow Gods Stigma come to me?

There was such a setting.

It seemed it was not for no reason that he noticed there was something wrong with Kitch before I could, even though I was in Arcana Continent like her. But there was something I needed to make sure. Im asking just in case

Is the Shadow Mercenary Corps an organization where you can voluntarily leave?

Wolf was silent for a moment and then answered my question.

There are no specific rules regarding withdrawal and disposition.

Even if he didnt tell the reason, I could guess.

Even if they could freely withdraw.

Would the Shadow Mercenary Corps just let it happen?

Wolf added.

But that wont happen. Because the shadow is safest when it is buried in the shadow. Even though there have been people who get kicked out, I have never heard of anyone who left the Shadow Mercenary Corps on their own.

Furthermore, Kitch was the leader.

If there was an element in the Shadow Mercenary Corps that she didnt like.

She could just rip it off and fix it herself.

Therefore, the words left by Kitsch inevitably sounded more meaningful.

Just then, Wolf asked.

May I know what message the Leader left?

I answered without adding or subtracting anything.

I will take responsibility for today and the past, thats what Kitch said.

No matter how long I held a grudge. I wouldnt put so much pressure on Kitch to the point that she would have to resign from her position as the leader just because she couldnt keep one appointment.

Then, that naturally meant

Responsibility for a past I dont know about.

To take responsibility for the past.

Kitch resigned from her position as the leader and disappeared.

Then I needed to know what happened in the past.

I thought Wolf, the vice leader, would know

Responsibility for the past

Even Wolf seemed to have no idea.

The vice leader, Wolf, didnt know.

I couldnt expect other members to know what it meant.

Im afraid theres an error in the procedure.

I dont know what it is, but youre going to take responsibility for it?

Its a great act of pride.

But you have to tell me what it is before you disappear!

Even I thought.

Dip out without telling your colleagues was too much.

Wolf tried to smile.

Thats right. In this case I guess Ill have to ask the Leader directly. That is also the rule of our Shadow Mercenary Corps.

Let me see

Even without the connector.

At least one more person.

He would be able to enter the Arcana Continent through the portal I manifested. It was Grandfels talent, not just anyone else. Even if my mana didnt grow, the skill level was accumulating at a tremendous rate.

If you need help with that, you can come to me.

Youre always welcome.

The fact that he didnt have to make an appointment in advance.

It was a great deal of consideration on Grandfels part.

But Wolf shook his head.

No. I believe in Leaders judgment.

Wolfs voice was extremely serious.

Eyes full of determination stared at me.

There must be a reason why she made that decision. I dont know enough There may be something between the Shadow Mercenary Corps and the Commander-in-Chief. Thats why I cant receive your help.

Is that so?

In fact, even if there was something in the past, it would only be about the dark history. Since Wolf had said that much, there was no way I could keep insisting on it with this personality.

In that case, lets release you according to the procedures, Wolf.

*

The community heated up.

No, whats with the Mage Tower??? Is it the Mage Tower I knew?

I thought they would take over the Shadow Mercenary Corps

Why did someone get into an accident? It must be the lowest kid Lakid, right?

No, its Wolf

Huh? Not the bastard Lakid?

You call him a bastard, did you get beaten up by Lakid?

Who are you? How did you know?!

Unlike before, there were a lot of eyes in the Mage Tower.

Wolfs unexpected behavior was relayed to the public in real time over the airwaves.

There was bound to be a lot of speculation.

However, the topic didnt last long.

It was all about timing.

AAU.

Another Space Lake.

A giant energy reaction was captured again in just one day.

H-Hey, its the Mage Tower again!

Indeed.

The moment Hoyeol returned to reality.

A dimensional gap floated above the Mage Tower.

It came to the players who witnessed that scene.

[Achievement: Witness the return of the Dark Dragon]

The return of the Dark Dragon?

Then, that thing floating on the Mage Tower is the Dark Dragon?

W-Wait a minute. Then, dont tell me, the Dark Dragon is?!

It was a message that led to guess the identity of the Dark Dragon.
