The fire arrow across the dark played a part in bringing in ambush enemy colleagues, but nothing changed.

Elena, who was watching the enemies approaching with her own soldiers, whispered to Kane through the status window.

More enemies.]

[What are the numbers?]

[Thirty]

Elena, keep your seat. We'll take care of it, so if anyone runs away, remove it.]

[Okay.]

Even if they are far away from each other in the dark, they continue to talk using the status window.

Kane was informed of the situation by his colleagues and continued to give instructions.

The operation remained the same, but it was more secretive.

[Zach, subdue quietly with close range]]

[Dolken, subdue him secretly. Their standards are low. If you notice a sudden attack, you will run away, so it will be more difficult to hunt.]

Kane used the term hunting. It was a rebuttal that the enemies were weak.

He quietly dealt with the enemy who had melted into the forest.

It started with Elena.

Before I knew it, I watched the enemy climbing through the dark bushes.

Elena jumped as the enemy passed just below.

Elena is sitting on her shoulders.

"What….kkkkkkkkkkkkk!

The surprised man put a dagger in the enemy's neck and covered his mouth.

Complex emotions such as embarrassment and shock came to my eyes, but that's all.

The surrounding area became calm again.

Elena, who dealt with the enemy, informed the group.

I got one.]

[Good job, let's go on like this.]

Elena looked down at the body.

The death was embarrassing, but the sentiment was that far.

Elena melted into the darkness again.

A light smile came to her face in motion.

The air is fading away.

Derek, who brought the reinforcements in, noticed something fishy.

He carefully called his subordinate's name.

"Appson! Appson!"

The subordinate didn't answer.

Only then did Derek realize.

It's a trap!

They were moving forward at a certain interval.

Of course I can hear you when you call your name.

Rather than answering, I couldn't even feel his popularity. 

'They were after us.’

My back was cool and my heart cooled. Derek didn't bring up the idea of retreat.

He is the target of attention for no matter of reason.

I was turning to the way I had come thinking that I should live alone, but suddenly my whole body was nervous.

There was a person who glanced at him.

With his back down, he was moving forward carefully and slowly raised his upper body.

He glared at the man ahead.

Dolken asked round and round.

"Where are you going?"

"How did you know?"

"From the beginning."

"Can't you just let me go? "If you let me live, I will erase everything that happened today from my memory."

Dolken kicked his tongue.

"You want me to send him back to kill you? Do you think I'm a saint?"

"We have a great power. If this is known, you will all die."

The bushes shook behind Derek's warning and Kane appeared.

"It means they've got a system if they're going to fire a signal. What kind of organization is it?”

"We are red molars."

"Red molar? What's that?"

"That's the name of our organization."

I could hear a young smile on the tree.

Dolken trembled ridiculously.

"What a scary organization. I'm going to pee just by listening to it. Who gave you such a nice name?”

Derek answered with a subdued look at the ridicule.

"We don't just kill our goals. I eat them alive. You will not die beautifully."

Despite the heart-wrenching warning, the laughter remained.

"Hold on? So? You want us to be afraid?”

"I never miss a goal that I set once. Wherever you go, we will definitely chase you. Let's stop here and stand down for each other rather than be tracked for life."

No one seriously considered Derek's suggestion.

Kane said.

"Looking at all the nonsense you're making, you're still relaxed."

"Not much to say."

Zach, who appeared out of nowhere, put an arrowhead on Derek's head.

Zach, who confirmed the death of Derek, who collapsed like a strawman, informed the group.

"They're all dead."

Dolken looked at Derek as if he was pathetic.

"Red molar? You're talking like a kid.”

It was a group with a strong heart due to his journey with Luther.

They couldn't have deeply engraved Derek's warning.

The returned party reported the progress on its own. Luther, who was listening quietly, nodded.

"Good job."

It's over now that I've taken care of course.

Luther stopped paying attention, but Barcoz was different.

"Who were the ambush?"

"They're red molars, do you know?"

"You know, they're very vicious bandits. One raid leaves no survivors. They even say there's a case of course. They said they were notoriously strong-minded, but they were nowhere near their territory, and now that they've come this far, they've expanded their territory."The bandit seems to be active due to unstable security.

Luther showed interest.

"You eat people?"

"Yes, they say it's a kind of ritual. To promote their bravery."

Kalua was fed up.

"What terrible people they are."

It is incomprehensible that you eat the same person simply to show off.

Dolken, who thought it would be a threat, was also amazing.

"Are they really eating people?”

"I shouldn't have killed you nicely.”

Turns out they're nuts.

While everyone was divided, Barcoz expressed his concern.

"The red molars are the ones who can't afford them. They're going to pay back for what they've been through."

"Isn't it just a bandit?"

"That's not what you should look at. They're bandits, but they're organized. It's connected to the great tops, and it's also associated with nobles and information guilds."

There are not one or two forces connected to the red molar.

There is a top in collusion with red molars to remove the top of the competition, and contracts with nobles to raid other territories.

It is also connected to the Information Guild, which is also asked to be assassinated.

"There are many places to use when the bandit grows. Red molars are one of them."

It turned out to be a force intertwined like a spider's web.

Luther asked.

"You're worried about the consequences?”

"No way. There's someone who can't help but worry if they're all stuck together. But at this rate, they'll find us and attack us."

In short, it meant that something annoying would happen.

Luther kicked his tongue.

"The Borges are doing everything they can to survive."

Luther seemed to be begging around because he didn't want to be killed as a bandit.

Kane felt sorry.

"I should have kept one alive."

He should have found out where he was based and made a hit.

Kane's grief quickly went away.

"We can figure it out right now."

Luther, who spoke lightly, stood up.

"Let's go."

"Where do you mean?"

"Where the bodies are. Then we go to their home."

Luther took a wooden box out of his arms.

A black fog rose from the open wooden box.

asked the evil spirit.

I guess I have something to do.]

"Yes, I'll have to work on the body."

Luther knew the power of evil spirits.

Evil spirits swallow souls.

I was going to use his talent to get rid of the disease in advance.

Luther pointed to the dead Derek's body.

"This is him."

[Of course. Can I eat it?]

"Yes."

It's been a long time no see.]

Not long after his death, his soul still remained.

Black smoke covered Derek's body.

After a while, a white, foggy ghost appeared, resembling Derek, who died.

Oh, my God! Help me!

Derek's scream, which is absorbed by evil spirits, is loud.

The party did not see what Luther saw. Dolken et al. opened their eyes wide to the changes in the dead body.

"Uh!"

"The body is moving!"

It was literally.

The black shadow of the evil spirit fell, and the body trembled as if it were convulsing.

It was a process that happened by forcibly sucking the soul.

Everyone held their breath.

Kalua asked with curious eyes.

"Master, what the hell is going on?”

"It's the process that happens when evil spirits force their souls to suck."

"Is that possible?"

"I didn't know that was possible until recently. It's the inherent power of evil spirits, so I'm doing it."

There were many things that Luther didn't know about in this world. One of them was the dexterity of evil spirits.

Luther thought as he watched the amount of evil spirits.

Sooner or later, we should start researching Young-gye.’

The ability to relate to the soul was black.

It belongs to black magic as a large category, but if you dig closely, it is deeply related to necromancer.

In the past, there was no one who dealt with it, and the idea of low learning was underlying it.

But it was different now. 

Looking at the amount of evil spirits, there were many interesting things about necromancer.

In the meantime, Derek's soul was completely sucked into the evil spirit.

The evil spirit swallowed Derek's soul and let out a pleasant groan.

[Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Did you read his memory?"

Yeah, I'll let you know if I have any questions.]

"Let me know where this guy belongs."

It's not far away. Before that, I have a request.]

Luther frowned.

"Request? Who gave you permission to ask for it? If you ask, just do it without saying a word."

I'm using it now, but I didn't trust it. I was going to extinguish the evil spirit when I thought it would climb even a little.The evil spirit protested in an unjust voice.

Hey, I'm helping you. So shouldn't you give me a minimum price?]

"For what? What are you asking for?"

There's a lot of souls around here. Can I eat it?]

He seemed to mean Derek's dead companion.

Luther knew the evil spirit's dream.

'He's trying to build up his strength and get away from me.'

But it's not a chance.

Evil spirits have no state.

So you don't know how strong you are.

Try to suck up all the creatures in the continent. But you won't be able to follow me.’

Luther knew the evil spirit's intentions, but he did not frustrate them.

Hope is the only way to be motivated. Pretending not to know the futile idea, Luther accepted it.

"Hurry up."

[Thank you]

The evil spirit, which was accepted as a sign of permission, disappeared like a shot.

Barcoz looked at the black smoke that disappeared with dumb eyes.

Just by looking at it, I got goosebumps and was appalled.

I was curious, but I didn't ask.

Barcoz thought he had been able to accompany Luther so far because he had suppressed his curiosity.

In the meantime, the evil spirit returned and pointed in the direction.

[It's that way.]

"Let's go."

Following the guidance of the evil spirit, the group headed toward the home of the red molar.

The base of the red molars was a cave in the middle of the mountain.

Inside the open-mouthed cave, there was a wave of light, and the entrance was guarded by bandits.

Two bandits guarding the entrance yawned continuously.

They kept looking back, reliving their appetite.

Inside the cave, groans and screams rang out one after another.

The bandit chattered.

"How come today's alert? It's luck."

"Hang in there. We're about to take a shift, so let's take a look and get a chance."

"Hhhh. The water was good today."

"That's awesome, just thinking about it.”

Their suspicious conversation did not continue again.

Kiara, who came down to the bottom of the mountain with a light leap, grabbed the back of the two bandits' necks.

Crack!

The bandit, who was on the lookout for a broken neckbone, died.

The group that followed tried to enter the cave immediately, but stopped.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A woman's groan from the cave was echoing.

Elena blushed and Luther was puzzled.

Luther looked at Barcoz.

"Does a bandit run a salon?"

"What do you mean, Salon? What do you mean?"

"There are a number of powerful people, including the aristocracy, inside. What the hell are they doing?”

There is not enough aristocrats in the hideout of bandits, so they are entangled with women.

The way it turned was suspicious.
