“Even if that happens, it’s okay. The end will eventually continue. You have to die to continue, to wake up.”
From worshipers to believers, and even monster gravediggers. Maintaining these requires dark magic.
Dark magic is the power of the dark sorcerer and the source that sustains worshipers and believers under the dark sorcerer.
Adolf frowned as he watched the gravediggers, bound in chains, disappear.
“Hurry.”
“I will bring the utensils to consume, so please wait.”
“Ordinary utensils won’t do. You have to bring the life essence contained in a body that was alive. I’ll wait for you to bring it properly.”
The old man crushed his head to the ground and withdrew.
‘Krrr.’
“Hwan, Hwansu-nim. That’s not for eating.”
The court lady extended her arm, trembling with fear. Lyan pressed the chest of the court lady with her front paw.
“H-Hwanghu Empress.”
“Stay away.”
Shalof reached out his arm and bit the court ladies.
“Lyan.”
Lyan lifted Shalof with the white hairball in her mouth.
‘Kkiing!’
“You’ve grown.”
‘Kring.’
“Did you have a fever, or was it a growth spurt?”
Lyan suffered from a high fever for a while. Because the fever made his body hot, Benhamin had sent a letter to the Tarang Kingdom.
The reply from the Tarang Kingdom was as follows:
It’s a preliminary symptom that the temperament gets even dirtier. Be careful not to put human heads in that mouth. Like sharpening a knife, the disposition may become unpleasant. Those Hwansu beings are an arrogant tribe.
As Lyan stretched and his fur puffed up, Shalof shivered and gestured to the Hwansu.
“I was trying to comb his fur, and suddenly his body grew. W-When I tried to run away, Hwansu covered me all of a sudden…!”
“He used to be abnormally small. Rather, his growth was delayed.”
Usually, Hwansu experiences the growth period in line with the stabilization of the owner’s soul after completing the imprint.
“Looks like he scared you by running away. Or maybe he intended to play a prank.”
Benhamin slapped Lyan’s nose from the side.
‘Kreung.’
“Don’t scare people like that.”
Lyan insisted it wasn’t like that, presenting a white hairball.
“Did you misbehave because you were annoyed?”
‘Kkiing!’
“Ah, well. Next time, I’ll warn the Hwansu to be more careful, so don’t do that.”
The Hwansu became confused when they saw Lyan’s changed size.
“Hiik!”
A silver light shimmered on the white fur. The small Hwansu suddenly grew.
Its front paw pressed against the chest of the guard. Even a slight mistake in its strength could cause harm. The Hwansu, who had been growling fiercely, lightly pushed Shalof’s back.
Lyan, finding it troublesome, shrank his size, sat down on Shalof’s foot, and covered his bottom.
“It seems he can grow and shrink his size by himself.”
Shalof embraced Lyan.
“Your Majesty, news has arrived from Baron Bronthe’s residence!”
“Kruk. Have you come, Your Majesty?”
Baron Bronthe’s wife grasped the bed and got up.
“Lie down. There’s no need for you to force yourself to get up.”
Shalof brought a chair and sat beside Baron’s wife’s bed.
“Is Emperor Your Majesty in a feud with my husband?”
“Yes.”
“As for the white furball by your side…”
“It’s a Hwansu raised in the imperial palace.”
Shalof didn’t exchange many words with Baron’s wife.
She could feel it.
The monster’s poison had ruined her body.
“Kruk, kruk! I apologize. I’ve been suffering from heart disease for a long time.”
“I don’t need to talk about it for a long time.”
“I will die soon. I’m about to die with such a body poisoned with evil toxins… My organs are all twisted. Um, the court physician also expressed concern.”
The body, about to die at any moment, was already turned upside down by toxins.
“Regular painkillers won’t work.”
Baron Bronthe’s wife maintained a calm expression.
“Your skin has turned pale, even on normal days, you easily get bruises.”
“Having been exposed to toxins, the body has become weak.”
Monster toxins are not toxins that an ordinary human body can withstand.
The dense toxins melted the flesh and corroded everything.
‘I’ve endured this much so far. It must be willpower.’
Shalof whispered, looking beyond the canopy over the bed.
“It’s a wicked thing.”
“I have a gravedigger attached to my body, and they call it a vessel to offer to you, Your Excellency.”
The Baroness choked back the rising blood, swallowing it, and continued with the following words.
“They say they will take that vessel and offer life, but the gravedigger harbored greed for the human body, and the monster’s poison thoroughly permeated it.”
“…….”
“I understand too. Dark magic coveted my body as well.”
The Baroness brought a handkerchief, wiped her blood, and grimaced. The servants were all bitten too.
“Call the servants.”
Lyan sat by the Baroness’s bed, staring intently at Shalof.
“I’ve already told my husband everything about the gravedigger. Emperor Your Majesty will also hear about it through the imperial network.”
“…Then, do you have a separate reason for personally telling me through the network?”
“Empress Your Majesty’s shackle passed beneath my feet. That shackle pulled the gravedigger out and sent me back into my body.”
The Baroness folded her trembling arms.
“I saw it when I was bound by shadows.”
Shalof wet the canopy of the bed.
“Emperor Your Majesty… grabbed that shackle.”
His white hair is too white.
“My husband whispered something to me while he was drunk.”
“What was it?”
“He said he was afraid he might mistreat me.”
The Baroness couldn’t continue for a while.
“Huh, eeuugh! Eeugh!”
“Breathe slowly. Everything will be alright.”
Due to the bleeding, the coughing continued. Shalof stayed by her side, just keeping his place.
“I’ll call the court physician, so wait.”
The Baroness grabbed Shalof, trembling, holding his arm.
“Ordinary painkillers don’t work, work.”
Shalof closed his eyes tightly.
“Send for the imperial healer to examine you.”
“It’s time to leave now.”
“Even if you leave, at least your heart won’t be at ease if you leave in discomfort. There’s a painkiller made from Senduli flowers. It numbs the pain.”
It was a painkiller that Shalof’s mother, Cozette, often used in her lifetime.
“I’ll send it through the imperial healer, so take it.”
The Baroness continued with the bloodletting several times.
“I apologize for my feeble body.”
“An untimely spring has arrived first. The cherry blossoms on the cherry tree have bloomed white.”
“I’ll send off the hasty spring that came, then.”
That way, the Baroness left the world the next day.
