Book 2: Chapter 28: The sun has risen (1)

In the middle of the dark night A red pillar shot up far beyond the wall.

The clear red color looked as if it would burn up all of the darkness around.

That light was clearly visible in this world where everything was dark.

Hey, Sui Khan! Look at that, do you see it?

Raon, On, and Hong The children averaging nine-years-old had their faces pressed against the window with their eyes wide open.

The black Dragon's blue eyes looked into Sui Khans red eyes.

"That red pillar! I'm certain that this light is our human using his power!

On spoke next very calmly but also very quickly.

It is pretty far, but if we can see the fiery thunderbolt from here It must mean that he used quite a lot of his power, nya.

That means something dangerous must have happened, nya!

Hong became anxious and didnt know what to do.

We should have followed him!

Raon clenched his cheeks with his front paws. The black Dragon looked toward Sui Khan who had been silently standing by another window.

Hey, Sui Khan! Why arent you saying anything?

On slowly turned her gaze to observe Sui Khan. This was a new friend who had been with them since they came to this planet.

Based on Cale, Choi Han, and especially Alberus demeanor, he seemed like someone they could trust. Unlike Cale who frequently lacked a sense of vigilance, Choi Han and Alberu were the two most vigilant people in the group. Those two people had accepted Sui Khan as a part of their team.

Ah!

On held back a gasp after checking what Sui Khan was observing out the window.

Hes observing the castle!

While Ons gaze had been focused on the red light, Sui Khan was observing the inside of the castle.

No alarm had gone off in the castle.

But On knew.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

I'm sure they saw what we saw as well.

That was when On could finally see people moving in the darkness, especially by the distant wall out of the precinct. She could see soldiers, knights, and even black mages.

On, who was in her human form, opened the window.

Clunk.

She then looked out the window.

The light in the Margrave's bedroom turned on!

The room next to the Margraves bedroom was the office for his top executives, and that room had the light on twenty-four hours a day.

She was certain that the Margrave and the entire top executives team were on alert right now.

The castle seemed quiet but it was quite chaotic underneath the surface. That chaos would soon rise above the surface as well.

What do I do?

They couldnt let people figure out about Cales visit outside.

Ons mind quickly started to move.

It was at that moment.

Hey On. Isnt it cold?

On heard a slow voice behind her.

The night breeze is cold.

Sui Khan was looking at her. He was petting Raons head with one hand while messing Hong's hair with his other hand.

Clunk.

On leaned back into the room and closed the window.

It was because she suddenly realized that someone might see her in her human form.

On heard Sui Khan's voice.

"Variables always come up.

His voice was calm, but it was different from Cale's calm voice. Cale sounded crude, cold, and indifferent, but his voice held warmth within it.

Sui Khan spoke slowly as if everything was boring and there was warmth in his voice as he gently called her name, but

"We also cant be swept around by the variables.

It oddly sounded cold and rational.

This was something she had felt back in the Empires capital.

Of course, that coldness was not directed at me or my little brothers.

I'm sure they are in a more chaotic state than we are.

Toward their enemies, toward their goal Sui Khan did not hide that coldness.

Hey, Sui Khan! But what if our human comes back hurt? What about Mary? Goldie gramps? Choi Han?

Thats right! Thats what we are worried about, nya!

On saw Sui Khans gaze heading somewhere outside the window as Raon and Hong could not hide their anxiety.

He was looking towards where Eruhaben had teleported them to before they crossed the wall.

Hes smarter than I am, so I'm sure they are heading back right now.

On could see the corners of Sui Khans lips curling up.

Or they are already here.

Raon raised his head at that moment.

Ah!

Raon's gaze headed toward the center of the room.

On could see Sui Khan close the curtains as soon as Raon did that.

Chhh.

The moment the curtains closed and the only light was from the candles in the room

Ooooooooong!

Mana gathered in the room.

Raon smiled after sensing this familiar mana.

They're here! Its Goldie gramps!

Paaaat-!

There was a bright light and a total of five people appeared on top of the golden teleportation magic circle.

Cale, who was standing at the center of the magic circle, looked into Sui Khan's red eyes as soon as he confirmed that they were back in the bedroom and started to speak.

Did you find the coordinates of the Margrave's bedroom?

Of course.

Figuring out the enemys location, always confirming their movements, and making it so that they could reach their target at any moment

That was the basics of the work Kim Rok Soo and Lee Soo Hyuk used to do for the company.

"What the heck is going on?!

The Marquis recalled something the former patriarch, his grandfather, the person he loved and respected the most, had once told him.

Helson. The god that I believe is said to have defeated darkness and death with a fire imbued with a thunderbolt.

He put his hand in his pocket. His hand was shaking.

There was a note he had been keeping on him because he couldnt let anybody find it.

< I heard heretics are to be executed immediately? >

Heni Wishrop. The note from her people

They knew that Marquis Helson had some relationship with the church.

I thought they were going to use this to grab my weakness.

He had also been curious as to how they knew this information.

It had made him anxious.

But what if-

This red pillar of light

What if they are people from the church?

This pillar of light-

What if this is that Fire of Purification or something?

Marquis Helson's fingertips that were holding the note were still shaking.

That would mean that the church has a strong necromancer who could rival the First Imperial Prince. If that is the case.

He had a hypothesis.

Heni Wishrop is not the leader.

Although a necromancer could have a high-ranking position in the church, she could not create this pillar of light.

That means!

Perhaps-

Marquis Helson recalled Heni Wishrop's subordinate he had made eye contact with when he received the note at the tower.

Now that he thought about it all of her subordinates had the same hair color and eye color.

It was as if they were trying to camouflage on purpose.

Is that guy perhaps-

It was at that moment.

Screeeech.

The Marquis bedroom that was connected to the top executives meeting room

It was like this because the Marquis had given up his personal life to defend the edge precinct.

The closed door to the bedroom opened.

Although there should be nobody inside the bedroom. That door was opening.

Identify yourself-

The Marquis raised his hand the moment a shocked executive was about to shout. His action made everybody close their mouths.

The door creaked and completely opened in the silence of the room.

The Marquis felt as if he knew.

He felt as if he knew who was in the bedroom.

Marquis-nim. May we have a chat in private?

The man in a white mask who appeared in the doorway

The smile on his face was visible as his mouth was not covered by the mask.

Its him.

The man he believed to be Heni Wishrop's subordinate The man who had smiled when Marquis Helson had received the note

He might not be her subordinate.

The man was standing in the bedroom alone.

None of you come inside.

Marquis-nim-

Obey my order.

Chief Eaen called out to him, but the Marquis gave an order to all of them before entering the bedroom alone.

The man was standing in the room alone with a smile still on his face as he welcomed the Marquis inside.

We should probably close the door if we want to chat in private?

The moment Marquis Helson spoke calmly despite not feeling that way

Indeed.

The man raised his hand and

Screeech- bang!

The door closed.

It was as if by magic.

Magic?

Marquis Helson's mind became complicated again after thinking of that word and almost as if this person understood the complicated mess in his mind Inside the dark bedroom that now had the curtains closed and only a candle was lighting it up

The man reached his hand forward.

Crack.

A rose gold fiery thunderbolt crackled and pushed away the darkness in the bedroom.

!

The Marquis stiffened as if he had been paralyzed.

Cale slowly started to speak at that moment.

We dont have time to chat for a long time. I guess we need to suppress him thoroughly to start?

He called for someone.

Raon.

Marquis Helson could see dark blue eyes in the darkness.

Dragon!

Although it was small, a real black Dragon appeared.

Nice to meet you, Marquis Helson-nim.

Cale greeted the Marquis in a new way.

Ha. I never expected to say this with my own mouth.

He had an oddly unsettled smile on his face as he introduced himself.

I am the purifier.
