Chapter 27's
Like a cat lurking on a tree, he stood on a branch and looked down.
The number of monsters was higher than he thought.
He pulled a handful of poisoned arrows from the tube of the dead goblin. Then, he held it tightly as he stuffed it with mana.
Bum, boom, boom!
This was the first time he had put mana into an arrow, but the effect was not too bad.
He shot as much as he could, but because of his terrible shots, most of them were shot to the ground. Some goblins were seen holding their foreheads as their shoulders trembled.
They might not be able to fight for a while as they were shot with poisonous arrows.
Radis looked at his sword.
The red flames burned it as if it was a burning log.
The way he put mana into the arrow was also a test to see how much mana he could put out.
'I don't feel like I'm running out of mana.'
With his swordsmanship reaching this level due to the training he had undergone in his previous life paired with a seemingly endless rich mana, Radis himself could not guess how he really was.
“Then just once, I have to use as much as I can.”
Radis immediately took out his sword.
The fire surrounding the iron sword was burning red.
Then, he jumped right in the middle of the demon monster commotion.
Although it was said that goblins were not afraid of fire, the fire in front of them was different from a torch.
Even far away from them, their skin burned before it was even touched.
Instinctively sensing this danger, with a scream, the goblins tried to retreat.
However, Radis had no intention of letting these people do that.
The sword burning error spread to several parts. The burning monsters started from their faces, and soon, their flesh and bones melted.
With a terrifying scream of pain, red flames lit up as they devoured their black blood.
The fire dance ended only after all the monsters that were seen died.
Radis staggered and sat on the ground, panting.
He intended to use his mana to the end, and it must feel like it now.
“I expanded it everywhere, so if I was still full of mana, I would be nothing but a terrible freak.”
Using the iron sword that was about to disintegrate, he dug into the charred flesh of a goblin, where he could still sense demonic energy.
The harvest today is abundant.
Goblins were a little intelligent and, comparable to the difficulty of hunting them, the quality of which stones could be taken from them was quite good.
Radis enthusiastically filled the pockets of his pants and coat with whichever stone he took.
And when he walked while feeling the clinking mana stone, he felt proud.
In his previous life, which stone he had just passed through his pocket, but now, this mana stone would be his own fund.
"And…"
He found the remains of the victim at the corner of the outhouse.
Tragically, some of the bones appear to belong to children
He was heartbroken by the fact that he was too late.
He picked up the rough sword left on the floor, shallowly dug the ground and buried the remains.
"I'm sorry I can't help you."
Radis stabbed the iron sword, which was already almost destroyed, into the ground to be used as a tombstone.
After that, the destroyed wooden fence was burned.
Wet by the black blood of monsters, Radis sat on a boulder and watched the burning latrine, muttering to himself.
“True. It hasn't started.”
As far as he was concerned, the imperial conquest began in 495.
So Robert hasn't been the commander of the conquering squad.
"That would happen three years later."
The current imperial conquering army without Robert was famous by itself.
Around this time, hunting monsters depended only on the independent conqueror squads of each region.
Naturally, the conquering squads formed in this way prioritized the protection and eradication of monsters in their own territory and the surrounding area, respectively, so latrines like this and small villages on the outskirts are in the toughest danger.
After confirming that the coals that swallowed the monster corpses had subsided, Radis stood up.
Well, he didn't want to catch a cold either, so he headed to the place he found the other day.
It seemed to be a resting place built by the villagers to stay while they were traveling back and forth, but there were even heaters, firewood, and a small tub, so he could soak for a while here.
The horse he had ridden from the Marquisate was also tied up here.
After Radis boiled the water, he daydreamed while waiting for the sticky monster's blood to drift away.
'If this second life continues, I will have to do more than ever. If I become stronger.. Can I change the future?'
Radis rubbed his skin to wash away the dried blood.
Radis was amazed after seeing this, and he looked around his body.
“Am I immune from demonic energy? Is that possible?”
No matter how low a monster he encountered before, since he had been covered in blood like this, he should have felt some symptoms of his toxicity. But he doesn't feel that way.
"Is it because I eat and rest properly?"
Radis did not want to suffer from demonic energy poisoning in this life.
That was why, if necessary, he thought of selling mana stones and going to the temple to receive the purification ceremony.
However, strangely enough, he could not feel the ill effects of the demonic energy.
“Of course, it's because I eat and rest well.”
Sitting in the bathtub, Radis smiled happily.
Then, he recalled Berry last night, hinting at today's snack.
"But what is banoffee pie?"
Brendon's desserts are all very new to him, but their similarity is all delicious, to the point that rationality will be lost.
After emptying the plate and following him with a cup of black tea, it felt like he was reborn.
Perhaps a sweet dessert is as effective as a priest's purgatory ceremony.
Not taking it anymore, Radis jumped out of his bathtub.
“Ah, I can't anymore! I'm hungry…!"
After meticulously drying himself and dressing up again, he climbed onto the horseback and returned to the land belonging to Marquis Russell.
But then again, when Yves Russell heard that Radis had been out for another unaccompanied night, he became furious. However, Allen blocked the Marquis from going to him, saying that he should not wake Radis.

9.Tragedy & Comedy
“Yeah, geez!”
One morning, Yurhi suddenly woke up, startled by a voice******* in pain from another room.
"Mama?"
Yurhi gently opened the couple's bedroom door.
In her nightgown, Margaret sat empty on the edge of the bed.
His hair was messy and his sleeping cap was slipping to the side. Meanwhile, his mouth opened. His eyes are not focused.
Seeing her mother's appearance like this, Yurhi felt her heart fall to the ground.
"Mama!"
Yurhi immediately ran to Margaret's side and hung on her lap.
As Yurhi dropped down with such force, Margret's protruding chin trembled, and Yurhi was shocked to see this. But—no, that may not be the cause.
"Mother mother! What's up, Mom?!”
"…The man…"
"Mama?"
“That damn guy took that money again..!”.
Margaret covered her face with both hands.
“That rotten guy! AAHH, the man should have broken his neck, not his leg in the accident! Fucking tilrod! Absolutely useless to anyone! ”
Hearing her mother's scream, Yurhi was so shocked that it felt like she had been struck by lightning. Yurhi was also a tilrod.
If Margaret had a bit of rationality now, she would have seen Yurhi's expression.
However, Margaret was so angry that she did not see how she broke her daughter's heart.
With no reason left, his mouth darted and unleashed curse after curse.
“This is a truly desperate family from the start. There was nothing but a dog that was given the honor of being a contributor to the founding of the empire. This damn house that has nothing but pride! Jade bastard was the same. He can't even use both feet, but what, he lives in two houses? Eternal love, a*s me. Just got struck by lightning!”
Margaret's unfocused gaze then slowly turned to Yurhi.
And, he ended up saying something that should not have been said.
“If not for you...!”
Shaking at those words, Yurhi had just fainted there.
Yurhi's lips trembled and tears quietly flowed from her green eyes.
Little did Margaret come to her senses after seeing her daughter's tears.
However, it was not enough for him to lift the child up, to apologize, or to retract his words.
This was because, at this moment, he sincerely wished that he had no children.
“I shouldn't have given birth to you. When I noticed the florist, I should have gone back to the Cowen family back then. UHHH! If it wasn't for you kids, I wouldn't have done that!”
Margaret tore her own hair as hard as she could.
“You ruined my life! YOU took me to this disgusting Tilrod family!”
Yurhi started biting her fingertips.
"'Sorry, 'sorry, please give me, Mom ..."
After hearing Yurhi's disjointed pronunciation, Margaret looked up from being too crouching.
And seeing how her daughter was crying while chewing on her fingertips, she pulled her daughter into her arms.
