How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 163

The forest temple was a space created by Elia herself.

Optimized space for drawing the magic circle of soul transfer.

To create this space, she swallowed the essence of the World Tree, which is said to be the spirit of fairies, and no one knew about it even after hundreds of years.

Originally, the world tree that gave grace to the land of Glacier Baengnyeong.

In order to hide the fact that she swallowed the essence of the World Tree, she continued to take over the position of queen, and never moved away from the land of the Glacier Baengnyeong.

Even coming down to Everwhale this time was her first long trip in decades.

By constructing this space, she was completed.

The sealing magic that sealed the giants was just a by-product of the creation of this place.

In this forest temple, she was nothing short of a god.

‘intruder.’

That’s why I didn’t miss even the smallest changes.

Since this realm itself was closely connected to her senses, she was immediately aware of Psyche’s intrusion.

So it was questionable.

‘How the hell did he get in?’

Of course, the forest temple is not a place that anyone can enter.

Unless she herself allowed it, she basically couldn’t come in.

Even if ordinary people enter Yuseol’s room, they just enter the room of an ordinary dorm.

Even so, it means that you are not an ordinary person.

It meant high enough to be comparable to her own.

“Sian Agrid… … No.”

As she muttered that, she was taken aback by her own muttering.

Why did his face come to mind first?

In this Everweil, there are Gen Aslar, Zerech, and the Empire’s general, Roderick.

If someone broke into the temple, of course they should come to mind first.

But the first thing that flashed through her mind was the image of Sian Agrid, that cheeky little bastard.

“… … Let’s kick it out.”

She soon stopped struggling and began to act first.

* * *

‘It’s similar to the sealing magic I was trapped in before… … Maybe it’s a little different?’

Psyche was approaching the temple, slowly examining the space.

I want to run right away and check Yu Seol, but I can’t.

The more calm you are, the more calm you are.

Maintaining her serpentine form, she slowly approached the temple.

‘I can’t run away to hell in an emergency.’

The first thing I looked at was the retreat.

I tried to find out if I could get out of the sealing magic like I escaped to the hell world with Xian, but it didn’t seem to work.

There were times when she couldn’t open the gates of Hell because her strength was so weak, but even if she had the power, it would be impossible.

Although it had a similar structure to the existing sealing magic, it was not similar to that level.

The perfection of this place was so high that the sealing magic seemed to be a deterioration of this space.

‘next… … .’

Psyche, who was looking for another escape route, trembled at the sudden presence.

Then, with all his might, he threw himself to the side.

Kwagwagwang!

The place I was just there exploded and disappeared. It’s not like it just exploded out of the ordinary. Soil, stones, grass, etc., literally perished.

‘I got caught!’

Sensing that an enemy had appeared – perhaps Queen Elia – Psyche quickly changed her appearance.

The current appearance of a small snake is suitable for stealth, but not suitable for fighting or escaping.

The body of the snake was wrapped in white light, and soon changed into the body of a child.

A small child who wants to be 5 or 6 years old.

It was a human body that could be materialized with her power now.

-bang! Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!

In the meantime, the attacks rained down on her without stopping several times.

Unusually, there were no projectiles or magical powers flying, but the empty space suddenly exploded.

Still, despite the unpredictable fire, Psyche, who became a child, kicked and rolled on the ground without hesitation, avoiding the explosion.

“Who are you?”

After pouring out more than a dozen rounds of fire, the enemy showed up.

Elia. Psyche looked up at her as she slowly descended through the air.

Seeing Psyche, Elia frowned.

“The way you look… … Yu Seol looks exactly like when he was young.”

Psyche’s appearance now resembled the rumor Elia saw when she was 6 years old.

They were dressed differently and looked more expressive than Yu Seol, but other than that, it was enough to believe they were twins.

Psyche crinkled her face and shouted at her calm and weak appearance.

“Where is Seol-ah!”

“Seolah?”

Elia tilted her head.

Looking at the way they call and what they say, it seems that they have some kind of relationship with rumors.

She frowned slightly and studied Psyche closely, then spoke as if she noticed something.

“no way… … Are you a demon from Hell?”

Elia muttered with grimly shining eyes.

Psyche didn’t bother to answer.

However, the absence of an answer itself was the same as giving Elia an answer.

“It was, it was. Now I know everything.”

Yuseol, who was obviously plain when he was born, why did the bowl expand from a certain period of time?

At first, I thought it would just be like that.

Bondi, as everyone grows up, their bowls are bound to change. It was only that the rumors had a particularly large range of change, and I thought there would be no particular reason.

But, in fact, there was a reason.

‘If it’s enough to invade this realm, it must be a great evil on the same level as the Demon Dragon King.’

However, the number of such great demons was small enough to be counted on one hand, and in her memory, she had no memory of seeing a child-like demon in front of her.

That word means that it is a new great evil that has been born in hundreds of years.

“Are you Psyche?”

I’ve never seen it myself, but I’ve heard of arrogant warlocks or demons being caught and kicked.

A newly born young devil has pacified the northern lands and made his nest.

Winter’s serpent Psyche.

It was definitely that name.

“… … I never thought I would be so famous.”

Psyche spoke without letting go of her guard against Elia.

But even as she spoke, she was constantly searching inwardly.

If you fight head-on, you will lose. The best thing would be to run away, but that won’t work unless Yu Seol’s recruits are secured.

‘Maybe it’s over once I leave.’

The fairy queen floating in the sky, Elia, was the most powerful mage she had ever seen. Except for the Dragon King.

Perhaps it would be easy for her to modify this space so that she would never again allow her intrusion.

Contrary to what he thought, the temple in the forest was created only for the great law of soul transfer, so he couldn’t modify the formula or change it, but Psyche couldn’t know that fact.

Gathering the cold in her hands, she immediately took a combat stance.

But Elia just smiled and looked at her.

“It was you. What expanded the bowl of rumors.”

“Expand the bowl?”

“Thanks to you, Yuseol has grown enough to accept my soul.”

Psyche’s eyes widened at Elia’s words.

Until now, she couldn’t guess at all why the Queen of Glacier White Spirit brought Yuseol to such a space.

But now I could tell everything.

With some kind of magic, he is trying to take over the body after pushing away the soul of Yuseol.

Just as the demons devour the souls of the descending contractors and take over their bodies.

‘Did rumors become a target because of me?’

Originally, Yu Seol was not such a gifted child. Psyche was well aware of that fact.

However, that kind of self has grown because he has been with Yu Seol for more than ten years.

That’s why rumors caught Elia’s eyes.

It meant that today’s events would not have happened without Psyche.

‘… … I have to save it.’

While Psyche was still burning with enthusiasm, she became more determined.

It must be saved at all costs. If you run away now, you will never see Yu Seol again.

Her first contractor and first friend at the same time.

“I have no grudge against you, but rather I am grateful. Now that I’m here, I can’t just let you go.”

In the meantime, Elia prepared the magic again.

Her eyes looking at Psyche were smiling, but inside they were full of murderous intent.

Psyche was a demon anyway, so she had no hesitation in killing her.

She clenched her hands tightly.

“!”

At the same time, goose bumps ran through Psyche’s body.

It was the same as the previous attacks. Without any warning, the magical powers around her suddenly sharpened their blades.

Then, they gather in a single point toward where she is.

Kwakwagwagwang!

burst out

Psyche kicked off the ground and jumped backwards.

At the same time, the cold air released from her hands created sharp diamond dust.

Small as dust, but sharp enough to cut even thick steel like paper.

Thousands and tens of thousands of dusts that could tear apart the lungs and intestines with just one breath tried to grab Elia.

“joy.”

Elia snorted as if she was laughing and waved her hand.

The curtain of wind that followed her hand blew away all the diamond dust that hit her from all sides.

Shaking off the glittering ice dust, I looked at the ground again.

She twitched her eyebrows.

Before I knew it, Psyche had disappeared.

‘ha… … ha… … .’

Psyche, who hid herself for a moment while blindfolded, calmed herself down behind the shadows.

Just like Dust, he consumed a lot of mana to instantly increase the distance.

After a moment of catching her breath, she started moving again.

soon to be a temple There must be rumors in there.

“Where?”

However, a lump of mana formed in the air, and Elia suddenly appeared and stopped her.

Psyche was shocked. How to make warp so simple?

Elia grabbed the startled Psyche by the back of her neck and threw her aside.

thud!

Psyche’s small body flew off and crashed into a tree before falling.

“Cuck, heck… … !”

In an instant, his lungs shrank and his breathing quickened.

And that meant that the flow of mana he was filling up with rapid breathing was momentarily disturbed.

Psyche hurriedly tried to breathe again, but at that moment, Elia’s magic had already been fired.

‘I have to kill him.’

A sphere of storm formed by combining the wind like a huge storm and the diamond dust that Psyche had just scattered.

Psyche’s attack turned into Elia’s magic and was fired at Psyche.

‘I can’t tolerate even a small variable.’

Soul transfer is a very delicate magic.

Sensitive enough to make a huge difference even with a very small variable.

So I can’t let Psyche stir up any more.

“hahahaha.”

Watching the spheres of the storm surge, Psyche hurriedly gathered mana.

The path of mana was becoming a mess as he had already twisted and gathered things that were already at the bottom, but now was not the time to discuss such things.

I had to dodge the attack right in front of me.

And then.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gung!

Black lightning fell from the sky.

The falling lightning struck the storm sphere, dispersing all its wind and ice crystals in all directions.

Psyche, who had gathered mana for evasion even twisting her blood, looked at the place where the sphere had been.

Not only her, but also Elia who sent her magic.

The expressions on the two men’s faces changed completely. One had a look of relief, the other a distorted face.

““Cyan Agrid!””

He was there with a black sword.
