Chapter 33: Alicia Arden (2)
ubIa4EoJohn Doe the Murderer of the City of Fog was a black mage. He was a wicked necromancer who made use of corpses.MqX8Jx
NAqO0p8The reason he was called the Killer of Knights was because he murdered knights and controlled their bodies just for the sake of getting stronger slaves.Em9v
HZMtWHThe way to defeat summoners like a golem mage, a necromancer and a spiritualist was simple. All that had to be done was defeat the mage who was the fundamental core of the spell. By either killing or making them faint, you could stop their consciousness from giving commands to their subordinates.HhJUOF
HIb2NdHowever, the problem was that this method was close to impossible against John Doe.Ejrxf0
2G05“Stick together. We need to put our backs together and watch out for all the angles.”Oy010C
prozcN“Who do you…”UgPkk6x
5FJlvSvMr. Hanson, who was about to say, ‘Who do you think you are?’ immediately shut his mouth after seeing the heads of undead knights that were skewered on my spear.AGnF
CMBh“What if they fire a spell at us after we stick together? It’ll be a wipe out then.”XqG
PoDDfEeOn the other hand, Mr. Charlie, the leader of the party, raised a rational question.9ge0A3V
Wifbh“No. The enemy can only control the corpses of knights. He’s not that difficult to fight against as long we get into formation and retaliate together.”yoW6Ntr
nVJX14“Do you know something about the enemy?”b0mKIZ
PM1loSZ“He’s a hot topic these days, isn’t he? The Murderer of the City of Fog.”pbowuEz
gUaBp“…!”l2rC
QJmT“You mean that Grade 1 wanted criminal!?”RjPq
S4FDX5wJohn Doe’s specialty, ‘Thin Mist’ allowed him to hide himself behind a fog.s4B5p
5hy7Rather than simply concealing himself behind it, he would practically become one with the fog. By melting his body into the boundaries of dimensions, he could hide himself perfectly.0y0
K2Mchg9That was why it was difficult to defeat him. If need be, he could move the fog and escape with ease.E7R
hgHHow would anyone even dream of chasing after gas?yt6rAK
BRnZXThe downside was that he couldn’t use any other spell apart from controlling corpses while keeping this fog up.hgmjMA7
TKW7There was no way corpses would be able to use spells in his stead when they required such a high level calculation every time. Thus, even though there were undead mages within the fog, they couldn’t use any spells and were there for misdirection. One more thing to note was that they contained the spell ‘Crimson Haze’ in their bodies that would detonate upon death.K6vRoRk
7N0– Click! Clank!ZBV5JoO
FQ96HlJBy the time everyone came to themselves, armored knights and demonic beasts were surrounding us as Mr. Charlie soon raised his staff.EIbDs
UwiltOL“Here it goes!”M2x
g4xO4With a shout, he faced the group of undead and rapidly casted a fireball with the assistance of Memorize.N9Z
lUNyqDe– Kwaang!nas
SUbSeveral undead knights were flown away without even bothering to dodge the fireball but there were more corpses running in from behind.V2H0i
1IdX“Come at me, you dogs!”j9g
KgWCysbArmor and weapons collided as flesh was cut off. Because the undead couldn’t use either aura or mana, we had a better combat potential than the enemy despite being outnumbered.e7zE
zREUQ“Alicia. Can you use your ‘eyes’?”llSpbd
aRq2S“…S, sorry.”C7PnXd
nQ30Oa7Her crookedly lifted lips were already back down again, and she had returned to the usual sullen Alicia.vhLe9
xLSrbBn“Let’s protect everyone from those guys. There’s no need to hesitate. They’re not human.”OgXu
z7p“Y, yes…!”uJYfp0B
twZDzbaAs long as Alicia could properly use her ‘Eyes of the Boundary’, someone like John Doe would not even last a second, but that would be difficult for the time being.1F0a5XX
gJkEActivating Eyes of the Boundary would mean she was looking at the Domain and that was where her trauma laid. It was thus impossible to use without progressing her character scenario and reducing her traumatic burden.zzC4Rc
4oxlWell, even without that, Alicia was already strong enough.DPtToge
MRXYuA“Guwooooo…!”gIcxs
kZDlSAn armored knight ran in with a spooky scream but his swordsmanship was too sloppy for a swordsman.Lay
B640m– Chaak!hlkTx
XMEzoH9A mere undead was no match for Alicia. Even without her Eyes of the Boundary, she already had a good pair of eyes.qwpD7a
n4nSN0❰Arden First Sword Style, Advancing Fang❱oRm
7ShKbThe undead crumbled before it could even finish swinging its weapon. The weakest part of its neck had been precisely cut off.mPuk
VUjp“Guwooo!”h1Cfz
3NA5YAnother undead knight dashed towards Alicia but he had way too many flaws in his stance due to the inability to think. Alicia pulled her sword back after finishing her slash and supported the back of the blade with her left hand in a stabbing position.5Dn
0uOg❰Arden First Sword Style, Crushing Steel❱WzRU
uAa– Paang!vna8
AvLSRVThe fierce stab of the sword made the knight’s flesh explode like shells of a grenade.5ph
vKwbd5“Wow…”Zxaew
DfIlEMMr. Charlie and his party were in awe after seeing her attack. Although she had been hidden in the shadows of Lunia Arden, Alicia was also a genius herself. Mere undead neither brain nor swordsmanship stood no chance against her physique and swordsmanship. More than anything else—0kRMv
G1rnqwF“Haak… haak…!”6ubnU
4UjZUSHer lips contorted with every pant. In the end, killing was also something that relied on talent. The veils masking her innate nature were starting to be unraveled, thus revealing her true nature.lus
XKHg“…”Ldm
Jk12d4Z“…”SbCX
PQRHwbEven our allies became speechless after sensing the change on her face.D4u9NrZ
Hdpiu0“Let’s focus on dealing with them one by one without breaking our ranks. The guy will run away if it becomes slightly disadvantageous for him.”yhkq
jcCKU9Our group dealt with the undeadone by one. As expected, it was a slow process.wJji
Mc7EHONow, how long would it take for the enemy to respond and come all the way here?zHp
Yt1WNThe heads of the undead warriors were skewered on the Silver Spear like a delicious shish kebab. It was partially to show off, but was mainly to stop the guy from retrieving these corpses.aZrjxXH
tbAGalA surprising fact was that it was hard for undead to move without their heads.q712hh
O7vTNyt｢Hooh. So you are the ones that were messing around with my laboratory｣fAZ
VhQA gloomy voice of an old man echoed from the mist. He was here.8bqsR
cl39qcQ“What? Where was that from?”te5E
46y“Find him! The mage is somewhere nearby!”XfEr2Ly
cE6qu7HThat would be in vain, because the voice was echoing all across the mist rather than coming from one direction.Xly
bHL1C8K｢That is useless, you ignorant peasants. I am the seeker of the truth. Your—｣xJVNuZ
f7lbSL“Skip skip.”Fh6
gDpfThe rune letter engraved on the Silver Spear – Sowilo – was activated. In an instant, the spear emanated a violent surge of heat. I widely swung the spear as a similar gush of heat and light occurred from all around.vVptj
vG4hO“What!?”Wb44O
i86“What is happening? Is John Doe using some kind of magic?”IEIt
6vB9ypSThe reaction of our party members was natural because John Doe was the only mage in this fog but even John Doe himself was probably also confused.zTC
8JbUSCThat just then was the resonant activation through the ‘Rune Stone’. The spear was crafted using the old crafting methods that took rune activation into account and was one of the skills that was used by a boss character in the game.OnZcI6O
nfC5wBy writing several rune letters everywhere with the spear, I could resonate them into one ‘frequency’ and activate them all at once. It took a lot of time to set up and used a lot of mana but only took 1 second to activate, which was even faster than accelerated spells that were cast through Memorize.Iq9a
WRHfBKDAs long as there were enough preparations set up with enough time, it was even possible to create something that was as strong as a Grand Spell.uZHrns
hyAnmFQ｢[Bastaardd…｣1OqEPN
dHaA voice filled with fury was heard from the fog, but this time, his voice was hazier than before.Mzr
R6FkJb“Sunlight is one of the critical weaknesses of the undead, right? That’s why you were using fog to stop the light.”NoE
heWJLike this, if we created a field of heat that had the attributes of the sun, it was possible to drastically lower the combat power of undead. All the undead would have been killed already if not for the few undead knights face-tanking the light.ZDak4
FVp6HC｢What a petty trick, you little kid. Do you think your terrible mana pool is enough to swallow my fog?｣YgG
VkJOf course not. Chasing out some of the fog and making the undead slower was what I had been planning for. As planned, ‘that device’ appeared from the thinner layer of mist.lBwQm
M44Q“Mr. Korin! Look over there!”wB7aL
YLlAlicia pointed at the human figure in the distance that had the generic look of a mage.6Ocnc3A
oEFPh“So that’s John Doe!”ycgmN
wZ6RO5“Charlie! Blow him away!”vo5g
8ek5lMr. Charlie shot a fireball in an instant but one of the knights stood in the way. Because of that straight-forward physical defense of the armored knight, the fireball ended up burning the knight without even touching the mage.jho6
xJyX“I can…!”t4tKh7X
Nhs9“It’s okay.”VosP3
OrnWg9I cut Alicia off.r5skxW
eSlThat human figure was a fake. A ‘Crimson Haze’ would come out as soon as we defeated that.h3Rw
XlkvABut even so, we had to defeat that thing at the very least to end this event and escape from this place.Ed6

ZEFI– Kwang!lEg0TOz
lTgUNOThe Silver Spear flew forward like a comet. The undead knights moved their slow bodies in an attempt to block the spear but they couldn’t stop the Silver Spear which contained the scorching heat of the sun.W09V2YG
4VH3O– Kajik!bovBbWZ
OnwqjThe spear stabbed through the body of the mage in the blink of an eye all the way through into the ground. I could see the mage’s body burning up even from a distance.lwkcO
MRKar“Did we do it?!”BxzKA
YU6lyvYMr. Charlie said the sentence that could resurrect all evil.dwSJX8
pbYv｢Not bad. You broke my puppet.｣GEPj0
huZ47“…!?”7mdO
KBLQ7It obviously couldn’t be that easy to defeat him considering how he was the boss of the early portion of the 2nd Arc.Ytxyb3
d1vSTZ5The puppet that I broke just then with Crumbling Mountain was a device he created that could give off a fog – it was an undead created with the body of a mage.ZLDUZ
ga9dThe reason John Doe was difficult to catch was because he used puppets like that to run away from chasers. On top of those scapegoats, his real body was synchronized into the fog so it was natural for the guardians to have trouble catching him.KeQFZhC
xm1Kc｢I shall stop here for today. Look forward to the day we meet again.｣CNrZN2
JOuUHIt was here. It was that same sentence he said whenever he was running away, which meant it was about time to face his escape mechanic.W1iMxlO
esc– Chiiiiikk!58bCCu
ZlUAs soon as he finished his words, the corpse of the mage that the spear was piercing through started giving off a red fog.xwA
vOWBOO❰Crimson Haze❱ym2xy
9zdZThIt was a lethal fog that came out automatically whenever the triggers of the fog – the undead mages – hit 0 HP.6K0n
PS5They snatched the control over the opponent’s blood with contact – in other words, they rapidly sucked out your HP. In the previous iteration, several soldiers died in less than 10 seconds, and it was a commendable feat for knights to even last a few minutes after coming into contact with that fog.MtO
7y53Y“Let’s run! That fog looks insanely dangerous no matter how you see it, right?”rdB0
YxpQ“Uhh, y, yeah… Looks that way!”RPxx
tt3Yq“Run!”2JjKjX1
PGiZevwEveryone immediately ran after processing my words. Alicia hesitated for a second but soon followed from behind.psIUVN3
ahR4“M,Mr. K, Korin. Shouldn’t we… retrieve your spear?”si6
BEAWIt looked expensive…OcRUSE
JfOShe asked while whispering the last few words.X8mu
OMWDgh“It’s fine.”Syyj
d0B69I activated the Rune of Return that was on the spear. Then, the spear that was stabbing through the undead mage heeded to my call and immediately flew through the air all the way to my hand.vATdEz
B9Fdk“W, wow… That’s amazing.”TafV
28836RAlicia said in admiration but it wasn’t over yet. The Crimson Haze was speeding from behind while trying to swallow us all.upY4fR
C1jrCIt was then.GCkpPNz
VhcOk“Kuhakk!”voM6hzh
nmaKPerhaps because of lack of exercise, Mr. Charlie the mage ended up tripping on a root of a tree of the unpaved pathways of the forest.2s3
KEjd“Mr. Charlie!”qCJX
PDjeBoth Alicia and I stopped ourselves straight away and started running to him, but Alicia was the first one to reach him because of our difference in physical capabilities.lAYlkT
mYreLR“Hold onto my hand!”EplOwI
mskvz“Y, yeah! Than… dodge!”WVPXP
vBiG9“Sorry…? Kyaak!”93GJpAE
iN8S8A red hand suddenly emerged out of the crimson fog. That horrible-looking hand gripped onto Alicia who had come back to save Charlie.ctRf
IwcZgki❰Mist Restriction❱UkFvsmL
x5Kwks4“Uht?”w0I
JYfQaaShe was pulled back into the red fog just like that.jEt
4jwKu3O“Mr. Charlie! Get up and run!”F996
JwDLGX“U, uhh! What about you?”DTk
cuN“Don’t worry about us and run outside until you’re out of the forest! And give me your robe!”a04xgB
QCMdwXn“Huh?!”Nmo
DbRAfter helping him stand back up, I quickly cut off the buttons at the front of his robe and snatched it away. Then, I quickly jumped into the Crimson Haze.XPW0Xj
asq4x“W, wait!”I7rn
faRMHXWithout worrying about him, I jumped into the fog but as soon as I landed inside, I could feel my entire body being shredded apart with blood being sucked out in bulks.3wt
uhmOcf“I really didn’t want to do this a second time but…!”a0X2
KBoWtwI was also locked in this fog once in the previous iteration because of a misstep. Even though it was for less than a minute, I was still almost dead but I had the regeneration ability this time around so I would be able to last a lot longer. The problem was Alicia.qNwVa
uuvboUnlike me who was about at the level of a Grade 2 regenerator, Alicia had nothing and it was questionable if she could even last more than 2 minutes with her bare body.m7mz
uUkI turned my eyes looking for her and discovered that she was a lot deeper inside than I thought.b7RR
6smcs“Alicia!”ulB15
iXpTQp6“Uhkk, g, go away! Go away!”dTc8FHM
VtWGZAlicia couldn’t get rid of the red hand that was holding onto her and was locked in place. She was in a panic because of the tough restriction on her body and the constant depletion of her vitality.dS7O9
lTFP8xBlood was already being sucked out from all over her body. She would probably be unable to last very long.wtk
XGv– Guwoooo9rkRK
KJ3GdDZ– KuwaaaalEJXGW
IAiy0W2To make everything worse, there were even undead knights approaching from a distance. Someone had to stop them.rM9pM
ozOX“M,Mr. K, Korin… T, this is not coming off. Please… please save me. I, I might die at this rate.”upk2
qremMAlicia said with a teary voice as teardrops fell from her eyes. A potential death was always hard to get used to, and it was normal for girls of her age to show such a reaction at the face of it.mk4uM
cdXI covered her body with the robe I took from Mr. Charlie. It would lower her exposure to the fog and would thus buy her a bit more time.U06J
YbiN0wm“Mr. K, Korin…?”fWT5G
d7Slx4“Calm down, Alicia Arden. Nothing will happen if you continue doing that mindlessly. You need to focus and commit your strongest move. It’s easy. As long as you calm down, it’ll be a piece of cake.”VwsRJi1

NyqBF“Hikk…!”TiHcgh
H4xrLowering my head, I looked into her eyes under the robe. After wiping the falling tears off of her shivering black eyes, I opened my mouth.MKtAu5
LS6AH7“You can do it. You can do a lot better than what you’re doing right now.”4MXS5
R5Mcn06“Mr. Korin? What do you…”GQX
rqQCY2z“Just continue cutting and keep it up. Just focus yourself on getting rid of this spell that’s holding you back. Don’t worry about anything else. I will protect you, so you focus on one thing.”IyP

OwUc9uzIt was painful and it was scorching hot. Plus, the feeling of blood being sucked out from every hole around my body gave me goosebumps.TG0QP
lAWI could smell a heavy scent of rusted iron, like the one back when I first cut a person.3tA3js
gYrThe blood-colored hand inside the red fog was clinging onto me like a magnet without ever letting go of me. A thin arm like this was supposed to be easy to cut.ZoElgK
oHP5Swinging my sword once was supposed to be enough.eBfFVf

TqPUhh…ySo
kncUnlike what was in my mind, the sword was flung off.w9L4s9

rgPKMeanwhile, the spell was continuing to squeeze my body. The veins around my eyeballs popped and blood fell like tears, as despair soared from the bottom of my heart.UQ9uj
J6DKAhh… I shouldn’t have tried to save him. I shouldn’t have come back to help.UTSR
JHiI was regretting when I suddenly thought of my benefactor.CzK
ygCJG0yI remembered the person who saved me, created an antidote for someone like me who was whining from a simple paralysis and blew on the medicine before bringing it to my mouth.Zdrs
DqOhrWasn’t he so injured that he had to sear his wound with fire…?JEoD2r
sqrklWDidn’t he willingly give me his hand when I was crying from the bandaging process?RsPBw5
YgOA2xAfter meeting him, I didn’t want to be a disgraceful person. I wanted to become someone who could willingly sacrifice myself for the sake of others.AZj8

ILzwPM“I will now protect you from those undead. You know what you have to do, right?”d0b
HZPkVS8Only then did I see the undead that were slowly walking through the fog. I was crying so much that I hadn’t been able to see them through my foggy eyes.C1FUsWY
