Evan D. Sherden, Punishment. (1)
Evan felt sorry for his brother Eric, but he had set up failsafe mechanisms in Sherden for emergencies if something happened to Sherden when he was not around.
Led by the Bloody Apple, a guild of witches who had to follow his orders, the boundary of the Phoenix Guild and Paradise Guild, which were allies of the city until the last minute of the Yo-Ma Great War 3, was still dividing operational areas and guarding the entrance to the Dungeon.
âNice to meet you, Miss Selune.â
âWow, youâre Allan. Hi, nice to meet you too.â
Selune, the youngest, gray-eyed witch, had turned 24 this year. She was in the same group as Allan, the charming man many witches were aiming for, and the guild master of the Paradise Guild.
âWeâre the outer wall patrols, right? I donât think itâs going to be a big deal today. Master Evan just likes to make a fuss.â
âHahaha, but he has a sharp edge. It comes in handy at times.â
Even as the head of the best-performing guild in the dungeon city, Allan had not forgotten his manners towards the witches.
And it wasnât because he was very modest. It was only because they had settled in the dungeon city and attacked at least 30 levels of the Dungeon in less than a year, so he knew how scary this group of witches was, and how much power they had.
âAnd thanks to Master Evan, I can enjoy dating such a beautiful woman.â
âOh, my God.â
Seluneâs cheeks turned red at the handsome manâs flattery. Her charming gray eyes tilted gently.
âThey warned me about your charm.â
âThatâs a misunderstanding. Not everyone catches my eye.â Allan laughed as if he were falsely accused. Selune snorted and was covertly satisfied. Well, she was indeed the prettiest witch of all!
She was even prettier than the 130-year-old witch, Melonia, who still pretended to be young, and the shameless Ctheasil, who wandered around the dungeon city as if she had forgotten her crimes!
âOh, isnât the patrol route this way?â
âAh, I understand that other teams are going to the west wall today. Let the two of us go this way.â
âIs that so?â
It was also well known that there were many witches. Selune grinned as she watched Allan correcting the patrol route. Allan coughed loudly.
His charm was too magnetizing for the witch to ignore.
But Selune was no amateur.
âYour smile is so pretty.â
âReally? Iâm flattered.â
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer during the patrol. Seluneâs sisters had told her that Allan had good manners, but she wasnât expecting this. Did he really get hooked on Selune?
âOr is it finally today?â
âWhat? Oh, by the way, I brought you some drinks on the way to the patrol. Would you like some?â
âThis is pretty good.â
Of course, there were some differences between individuals, but strong people in the dungeon city knew enough to handle themselves when they had to carry out their duties.
Rather, many explorers took care of alcohol when they entered the Dungeon because it gave proper vitality and numbed the pain. Many died too because of overdrinking.
âHere, have a sip.â
Selune took the hip flask that Allan brought and opened it. The sweet and strong smell of alcohol rose up, making Selune smile.
âIt smells good. Itâs great.â
âDrink only a little. Too much can be a problem.â
âWell, donât worry about it. Iâm good at dealing with liquids, especially water.â
âYeah. The water rune, Lagos. Itâs a pretty strong rune. I canât even imagine its strength.â
Allan was a natural warrior type. He couldnât possibly know about Runes, who had few learners among Wizards. Selune tapped the entrance of the flask with her finger and laughed as she heard the alcohol splash.
âOur witches are supposed to be at least 30 to be recognized as adults. But now that Iâm 24 years old, Iâm confident that I can talk to my sisters and insist on a love marriage.â
âYouâre very capable, too.â
âYes. Oh, and you should know this. If a witch first reveals her Rune to a foreigner, she is ready to bind her destiny with him.â
As soon as Selune spoke, alcohol soared above the flask. Strangely, it took on the shape of a snake, drawing a pattern in the air. It was the Lagos Rune.
âOnly when youâre ready to reap the fate of your opponent.â
âHuh?â
Allan tried to get away quickly, but it was too late. Selune, as she said with her own mouth, was already ready when she called out the Runeâs name.
âAhh, this isâŚ!â
Allan clenched his teeth, pulling at the chain of an unidentified liquid that stretched out from all sides and restrained his whole body.
He somehow shook off some part of the chain and pulled out and cut it down, but he couldnât do anything with a rusty sword. It was an artifact; and it was rusting!
âYou damn witch!â
âWow, thatâs a nice U-turn from the sweet talk just now.â
In the blink of an eye, Selune, who had completed Allanâs restraint, sighed when she heard the windâs rustling, and the noises it carried with it. Before she knew it, the city was thrown into hysteria. Other witches were on the move too.
That wasnât all. Beyond the wall, a noisy roar and monstrous screams were echoing simultaneously. Monsters also began to near the entrance to the temple which entered the Dungeon.
âHowâŚwhen did you notice? Evan believed me like a rock! He was only suspicious of the Thunderbird GuildâŚ!â
âFrom the very beginning. Oh, Iâm sure itâs going to happen today, even when youâve been messing with the patrol route. I told you that I heard it from the older members. Everyone told me to be careful of you. Master Evan would have believed you, but not us. From the beginning, we never believed anyone but Master Evan.â
âOh, this isâŚâ
Allan twisted his body around and gathered all his magic. Although he was caught in the gap by a counterattack when he tried to surprise Selune, there were several ways to escape from the crisis.
He was the master of the Paradise Guild, the head of the elite group at the forefront of the dungeon attackâŚ!
âGood-bye then.â
Cuck!
However, it was a short-lived glory. Selune immediately forced water inside Allanâs veins and held his heart with its grip.
The protective magic hanging on Allan was released by a single stroke, and the protective artifacts on his body were already broken. If there were artifacts that were capable of deceiving the witchâs eyes, only Evan would have had them.
âA⌠AhâŚâ
âWow, I pierced your heart, but itâs still alive. Should I cut your throat? Itâs my first time killing a human being, so I might have made a mistake.â
âEvan, that bastardâŚâ
âMaster Evan? What about the Master?â
Allanâs death was delayed by a few seconds because he mentioned Evan. Selune couldnât resist listening about Evan.
Of course, the spear of water that invaded his heart turned into sharp thorns one by one, and water had already flooded his organs; there was no chance of survival.
âHow the hell⌠a group like yours⌠not just thatâŚso strong⌠why the hellâŚâ
âOh, what? Are you envying Master Evan?â
Paradise Guild was a loyalist guild that protected the dungeon city by joining up with the main character. Evan had never suspected the Paradise Guild.
However, the Paradise Guild did not protect Sherden because Allan was a loyalist. He only remained an ally because he saw benefits in it for himself.
Allan liked getting attention. He thought he was the main character. He thought the world was revolving around him, and he believed that this must be true.
âIâmâŚIâm the hero of Sherden.âŚâ
âYeah, youâre just a nobody.â
The main character of Yo-Ma Great War Series is definitely one person, but in a broad sense, Paradise Guild could also proudly be known as the main character.
In particular, the guild master, Allan, was in the spotlight with the main character until the second half of the series. Therefore, he was able to remain a hero until the end without realizing his darkness.
âThat son of a⌠If it werenât for that little bratâŚâ
However, it was different now. Now the main character of the dungeon city was Evan, and he was also a Dungeon Knight. Even Allanâs prestigious achievementâbreaking through the Dungeonâs 55th floorâwas overshadowed by what Evan had achieved for his young age.
No one noticed his great achievement. Everyone knew that the Dungeonâs 55th floor would be nothing once the Dungeon Knights were officially launched.
This marked Allanâs dissatisfaction with the dungeon city.
A black, shadowy knife crept up Seluneâs back to stab her. This was Allanâs doing.
Selune immediately noticed that this was Allanâs power. She couldnât believe that he was trying to buy time by talking about Evan.
âThatâs amazing. Itâs an amazing skill. If I hadnât noticed the Rune, Iâd have been in big trouble.â
âHahahahahahaâŚâŚ!â
Allan, who had broken through the 55th floor just a few months ago, won a class suitable for his career.
Shadow Mercenary.
Regarding Evan, God had said, âHe is capable of playing better than anyone else in the dungeon city.â
However, Allan hated Evan so much. It wasnât that he was greedy for attention. It was just that he didnât receive any because of Evan.
It seemed that God gave him proper compensation to be satisfied with his current position even though He knew what type of person he was, so he hated it even though he had gotten the second class.
Even now, he had not been able to perform well and had not been sanctioned immediately. This pathetic, meaningless, worthless, hatefulâŚâŚ
âIâm not the only traitor⌠the Demon tribe, the Wild⌠in the dark, in the dark.â
âIâm sure. You should watch it with me, in the dark where you drift in the void.â
Of course, Selune was not interested in his inner thoughts.
She waved her hand, and at that moment, Allanâs shadow and his body were all scattered. It was destroyed by the terrible pressure of the water being controlled by Selune.
His last moments were shabby like an extraâsâas they should be.
âI need to defend the city, otherwise people will die.â
Selune, who had just killed a famed man of the dungeon city without breaking a sweat, summoned her broom and sighed. Even now, peopleâs screams from all over the place were echoing in her ears.
Someone had even opened the gate, and the fact that the gates were opened despite the witchesâ quick movement⌠As Allan said, there was indeed another traitor.
âOh, Master Evan will be sad⌠Can I comfort him? Will it ever be my turn?â
There was indeed a possibility. Perhaps she could even drag him to her bed. Selune opened her eyes wide in anticipation.
âOkay, Master Evan, Iâll try to stop them all.â
She was one of the strongest witches; one of the few who were being prepared to be appointed as the next godmother. Selune, the Moonlight Water Witch, flew up into the sky on a broomstick.
Before she knew it, the blood-red moon was shining red over the city.
A night of disaster had descended.
