Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 209

Episode 209. A Trivial Settlement (1)

‘… … I came for nothing.’

Looking at the face of the black dragon who was spitting out blood, I expressed my discomfort inwardly.

It was not a mere coincidence that I suddenly turned around and came here while on my way to Genmel Monastery.

Yurian's instinct towards 'Black Star'. That became a milestone and led me here.

'It was a good thing Pelkor stuck with Eleanor.'

If Eleanor is harmed during the 'Bisop Hunt' process, my plan to return the position of 'Patriarch' to her will be disrupted.

I was confident in my skills, so I left them both behind and gave them to her, but now that I think about it, I think it was a good idea.

'The Black Star might recognize Pelkor, you know.'

Again, I turn my gaze to Geomseong.

The swordsman spits out blood, leaving behind the corpse of a fallen sect member.

I left him behind, searched for the marks of the fallen cult members, and tore them from their bodies.

'These guys are the same.'

As time passes, these guys will also become demonized.

“It turns out there isn’t just one eye that sees.”

The blacksmith muttered to himself. He wasn't talking about me, but rather about Zahat, who had come with me.

“What do you think? We’ve seen all sorts of things under the same teacher.”

“No, I meant to say that there are no visible eyes.”

"hmm."

It was Zahat who sighed at the sudden drift.

As alumni, we were quite close, and even the way we did things was different.

“Master, are you okay!?”

While Zachart and Haydn were breathing and turning to each other, Linne came over to support his teacher who was coughing up blood.

'It's not trauma.'

No matter how you look at it, the fact that Geomseong was spitting up blood was not due to trauma.

There wasn't a single wound on his body.

'Magi-ro-gun.'

The magic energy that sways within the body.

As I said before, if there are no characteristics related to the 'Demon King', magic will mercilessly eat away at a human's lifespan.

No matter how strong you are, it can't be helped.

“How could it be okay? If it’s okay with the magic energy stirring inside your body, then you can drink it, Master.”

“Haha, that’s okay too.”

Haydn accepted the venomous joke with a smile.

I couldn't help but laugh at that aloof attitude of the blacksmith.

“It seems like you’re familiar with this situation.”

It's a situation where you could die. Still, the aloof attitude is strange.

'What made you like this?'

Are you prepared to die?

What on earth is it for?

“Even you, you seem indifferent even though you saw a member of the Dawn Society.”

The tone of voice seemed to contain some sort of guess. No, looking at Haydn’s eyes, it wasn’t at the level of a guess.

“What do you want to say?”

I am a member of the Dawn Society.

As expected, Haydn seemed to have noticed this fact.

'Since when?'

Maybe it was before I became 'Yurien'. Maybe I heard that Eleanor approached 'Yurien'.

“I have nothing to say… Knock knock, knock knock!”

Haydn, who kept coughing while trying to say something. In the face of him like that, 'Yurien's' instinct never led to 'victory spirit'.

'That's fortunate.'

Leaving the sword behind, Zahat and I decided to head back to the Genmel Monastery.

“Are you planning to go to the monastery?”

From behind, the voice of the black knight who was about to die was heard.

It's as if he knows that the headquarters of the Dawn Society is the Genmel Monastery.

“Did you know?”

“I knew it from the beginning.”

“Then why did you just stand by and watch?”

I had a question.

Even though Black Swordsman had a hatred for the Yeomyeonghoe, why was he neglecting 'Tenelon'?

“I’ve been waiting for the right time. A day like today when he can use his magic powers.”

As Geomseong was the 'main character', it seems he knows a lot of information.

Tenelon and Masinseong. You know them all.

Even on days when I use the magic potion.

When I heard that, an idea flashed through my mind.

“Phew.”

Somehow, the puzzle started to come together.

Why did Geomseong leave the empire, head to the sacred country, tame his body with 'magic', and then return to the system?

“I see you are thinking of embodying the spirit of the devil in your body.”

The best way to prevent the 'resurrection of the demon god' from happening is to destroy the holy relic, 'Mashinseong', but destroying it is nearly impossible.

'In the first place, the sacred relic cannot be destroyed unless it is consumed.'

I would like to hide it somewhere, but this 'Mashinseong' has a tendency to call evildoers and make them use it, so that is impossible.

So, I tried to keep him by my side to prevent the inevitable, but it seems that 'Geomseong' thought of a more drastic measure.

“Only then can we erase the demonic spirit from this world.”

Crazy guy.

To throw away your own body and make such a judgment.

However, the feeling wasn't too bad.

It seemed like I was getting a glimpse of the nobility of the 'Black Star' that I knew.

'still.'

I can't stand it when the Holy Land loses its mind.

“So you came back to the system to find a place to rest?”

"……yes?"

“Miss Linne, please take good care of your teacher.”

With those words, I headed to Genmel Monastery with Zahat.

Somehow I feel like my steps have become lighter.

***

Upon arriving at the entrance of Genmel Monastery, a different atmosphere than before was flowing fiercely.

It seems that all those who worked at the monastery have disappeared, and the members of the 'Order of Dawn' are nowhere to be seen.

'As expected.'

Tenelon did not deploy his cult members as guards.

It was also a reflection of strong confidence.

“……Magic is seething.”

The disgusting aura that stings your nose from afar is the remnant of the demonic thoughts that the demons have. Tenelon, the patriarch of the 'Dawn Society', entrusted his safety to the 'Demon', not the 'members of the church'.

Up to here it's fine.

“The magic is stronger than I thought.”

The magic of the 'Mashinseong' is stronger than I expected.

Even if we leave aside the 'Bishop Hunt' that happened today, it seems that Tenelon has stockpiled enough magic in his castle.

“I heard from Haydn that he had a plan to deal with the Patriarch.”

“Yes, there is.”

Of course there is.

I suffered so much because of that guy.

I don't know about other strong players, but I have definitely prepared a strategy for defeating 'Tenelon'.

“Then I guess I have no choice but to open the door.”

Slurp.

Zahat drew his staff sword and began to closely examine the interior of Genmel Monastery with his unseen eyes.

“This is the way to go.”

Saying so, Zahat began to walk ahead.

The scenery of Genmel Monastery is now familiar, but today it has a strangely eerie air.

Krug, krrrrrrrrr──!

After walking for a short while, the faint howling of an animal could be heard from inside.

It's a demon.

“Tsk tsk, this is a place without a resonance stone, so these kinds of guys are running wild.”

Fortunately, there are no 'horns', they are just a bunch of trash, but their number is not ordinary.

“Didn’t you say to go this way?”

"yes."

“Didn’t you say that because there were few demons?”

Kkkkk, Zahat smiled.

“This is the shortest path.”

Kwaaaaah!

As the demon charged, Zahat's sword flashed and in an instant, he cut off the demon's head.

– “Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Starting with the guy who was hit first, the demons surrounding him also started rushing at us.

The number is probably more than ten.

Zahat continued to cut down demons, moving his body to avoid the flowing 'residual thoughts'.

“Hey, I’ll clean up here.”

There was no way Zahat could be defeated by these ruthless demons.

However, if there is one thing I am worried about, it is that the demons at Genmel Monastery will start to gather here after hearing the commotion.

“Finish as quickly as possible and come back.”

“Please do so!”

After nodding to Zahat's words, I followed the direction the dead demons were heading towards with my eyes.

'Where that magic is headed.'

There must be a divine nature to it.

And right next to him will be Patriarch Tenelon.

I kicked the ground and quickly followed the flow of 'Magi'.

'It's so damn dark.'

When I saw the thick flow of magic, I frowned, but at the same time, a sense of elation rose deep in my heart.

Finally, the joy of being able to put an end to my life associated with the 'Yeongmyeonghoe'.

While running in the direction of 'Mashinseong', I felt no signs of life at all.

'It seems like you're welcome.'

To anyone who saw it, it might seem like Tenelon was waiting for me.

It was a large door that I hadn't seen in a long time. When I opened it, a familiar sight and a room with a purple tint came into view.

'Magi' is much more than the amount of mana that can be felt in the atmosphere.

Weaving them together, a masked Tenelon stood above the 'remnant thoughts' flowing with the 'demon spirit'.

“When I brought you into the Dawn Society, I had no idea it would end like this.”

As the man took off his mask, two purple, glowing eyes with ugly scars turned towards me.

“I knew it would end like this.”

“Yeah, so that’s why you were just waiting for the right time to lure the other bishops in and aim for my neck.”

Half right and half wrong.

I had my thoughts too, but Pintel played a big role.

“But, I was also prepared for this situation to some extent.”

Swish.

As the guy reached out to the 'Mashinseong', a terrifying magical energy began to stir and began to wrap around my body.

“Do you know why the other sect members were made to hunt the bishops?”

For an ordinary person, it would not be strange for them to die the moment they inhale this amount of magic energy.

“Yurien, I knew you would come here alone.”

The mana blood began to seep into the 'magic', and as a result, the muscles began to shrink.

It is a process of 'demonization'.

“If this holy relic contains the power of the demonic spirit, it can easily turn a person into a demon…….”

First, 'demonization' never progressed to the end. There was already a 'demon' in my body to begin with.

“What, what is this…?”

===

⇒ The characteristic “Master of the Vessel” is activated.

⇒ You become immune to the effects of the holy relic <Mashinseong>.

===

The relics related to 'Dasin' do not have much effect on my body.
