To Be a Power in the Shadows! Chapter 177

(Not Edited)

As for the result, it had been changing towards the right direction .

Their success was credited to [Black Rose], though they had defeated the enemy by gaining power from my magic . In this case, my magic might be used for other purposes .

It could be said that we had succeeded .

Members of [Vow of Black Rose] were cleaning up the battlefield after capturing Rajta Count's castle . Tulpicano seemed to be killed in the battle . It seemed that Goldoh had become the new leader . Although I didn't listen to their conversation carefully, according to Mr . Goldoh, he would communicate with Royalists first and then lead Vow of Black Rose to converge with the army .

Therefore, I had to be well prepared .

It was still dark outside . The moon was shining in the sky .

While I was searching the surroundings with my magic, I found two familiar breath for some reason .

The first breath that gave forth quite ominous magic came from the upper floor of the castle .

“Isn't this violet-san?”

I made her acquaintance in the Holy Ground . She was like a phantom in the fantasy story . Although she had disappeared at that time, she seemed to be living somewhere in the world .

I thought it was violet-san's breath . I was unable to approach her as there were lots of people there, so I decided to greet her after those people left .

The second breath came from the underground area of the castle .

“Why do we come here?”

I stopped making preparations and infiltrated in the underground area of the castle .

In the underground area, Epsilon perceived a powerful magic wave .

“This magic is…?”

It seemed that something had happened outside .

As far as Epsilon knew, only her master and her could release such powerful magic . Her master could change the wavelength of her magic, so it was impossible for Epsilon to recognize her magic accurately . Besides, she didn't believe her busy master had come to this castle on the border .

In this case, it might be a match for her master, an ancient relic or a natural phenomenon .

However, something had happened on the ground .

“It has become a troublesome issue…”

Epsilon applied pressure to the serious injury to his chest .

The cause of the incident started with her sneaking into the Kingdom of Oriana as a Shadow Garden . As a world famous pianist, she was highly praised in the Cloud Kingdom, which enabled her to enter the interior of the kingdom easily to collect information .

Unfortunately, she was seen through by Mordred there .

Mordred attacked her surprisingly .

One of Mordred blows tore Epsilon's chest .

Generally, such a heavy blow could kill him .

However…

He would have died without Slime's help .

She, especially her heart, had a great defensive capability, because there were multiple protections there .

Despite this, the sudden attack threw Epsilon off her guard . She failed to make use of her defensive capability and was seriously injured .

In fact, the slash at the very beginning had determined the outcome of the battle between them .

Afterwards, Epsilon noticed that the situation was unfavorable for her, so she retreated, with Mordred hard on her heels . But Epsilon, who had been seriously injured, naturally could not easily escape, so she had to make a painful decision .

She detonated the explosives that had been set up for the plan and blew up part of the castle .

Although escaping from the castle and successfully threw off Mordred, but the cult's pursuers were still chasing after her .

It's winter, the snow lying thick on the ground everywhere in Oriana, so it was difficult for Epsilon to escape . Epsilon would leave footprints and bloodstain if she walked on the snow . Besides, she smelled of blood…

Even if she suppressed her pain and pulled away, the pursuers would catch up with her soon .

She was lacking physical strength due to serious wounds . Then she decided to take her chances .

She sneaked into the city of Rajta Count and waited for the pursuers passing by . The most dangerous place is the safest – who could guess that she hid in the city where echelons of the cult lived? Epsilon bought some time in this way .

However, the problem was the turmoil that occurred on the ground before . There had been a great magic here, and people would definitely start to pay attention to it as time went by . Then it would become difficult for her to escape .

Epsilon must move immediately .

However, she didn't have enough time to recover from injuries .

“Ku…”

The slash caused by Mordred was so deep that she was deprived of physical strength and magic .

She stood up with her hand on the wall of the underpass .

In order not to aggravate wounds, she moved slowly .

Just then, she heard the sound of breathing as some people were approaching from the front .

Then, there were footsteps behind her .

“Ah, that's…”

She was so unlucky .

Epsilon drew Slime Sword and walked forward .

She could only forcibly break through before Mordred caught up .

Then she met the enemy .

“We felt a huge magic and came here . It should be you?”

The cult's pursuers .

Moreover, all five people had a second name .

“Send five people to chase me – it seems that the cult has nothing else to do . ”

“It shows how much we value you . Because of you guys, so many plans have been upset . ”

“It's my pleasure!”

She quipped though, it was actually difficult for her, who was seriously injured, to deal with five enemies all having a second name .

The footsteps behind her indicated that the people behind were approaching .

Epsilon tutted
