Then Svachi and Karoo started to enue the wisdo: ‘It is ala in Keeboren to starve to death, but until one is fa, there lies a s death Rea without his heart cannot die froot excited, dazed Hwareet by telling a quite an unbelievable tale about his first hunt, in which he was dragged around i the beast If Hwareet saw a boar before, or in other words, saw its thick neck that was ihed

Entering the heart tower parting his escorts, Ryoon Fei solidified his deter, and that was the fact that noas not the first time he determined this Ryoon Fei determined this when he was 11 years old So, as he set foot in the heart tower, 11 years out of Ryoon’s life dissolved like dirt under rain As a result, Ryoon, at that ain Of course, Ryoon hi froment of a 22 year old adult It was dubious, however, whether standing in the middle of the first floor hall like he didn’t want to face anyone and suddenly bolting for the hallway is a as that looked at Ryoon with surprised eyes when he ran

Vacating the place when he didn’t knohen the guardians will come to take him was not a practical choice of action But even before the startled Nagas called his naas were perplexed for a moment, but because they did not want to leave where they were like Ryoon did, they decided to quietly wait

Ryoon was thinking of only one thing as he ran through the hallway ‘I need to find another exit’ He couldn’t just walk out the front entrance He didn’t knoould happen if he went out the front entrance still having his heart He no longer had any escorts either Ryoon’s escorts, eren’t interested in the maidens that will soon exit the heart toould have all returned to the Fei mansion, and even if so his heart

As his trail of thought reached his heart, Ryoon flinched and stopped

He felt his heart, and was apprehended by fear, realizing how violently it was beating Of course, the guardians of the heart toon’t be surprised to see Ryoon with his heart, and think of hiuardians, Ryoon would without a doubt be dragged into having his heart extracted, and that was a conclusion that Ryoon wanted to dismiss at all cost

Fortunately, Ryoon knew the inside structure of the heart tower His knowledge was not perfect, but he had enough to estimate where he was

Looking around and fu for old memories, Ryoon realized that he was near the eastern staircase Re himself that the eastern staircase led to the exhibit, the storage, and the special library, Ryoon realized that all those facilities were not related to the extraction, and internally screamed in joy

All the guardians of the heart towerhis decision, Ryoon quickly moved towards the eastern staircase

But, reaching the exhibition rooe room on the 2nd floor, Ryoon had to feel souardians ere busy with the extraction ceremony locked all the doors to those facilities It was natural, but Ryoon even felt an irrational fear that the guardians predicted that he would co up to the 3rd floor, Ryoon could not rid his nervousness The special library on the 3rd floor is always open, but there would be a librarian

Reaching the 3rd floor, however, Ryoon discovered that the librarian’s seat was empty Ryoon, without a moment of hesitation, quickly opened the door to the library Only after he opened the door, it occurred to Ryoon that the librarian ht be inside the library, and he immediately froze up But the library was completely empty

Ryoon quickly jumped in the library and closed the door At that a that did not care about sound The door closed with tre to break

Entering the hall of the heart tower, Hwareet felt soas everywhere talking to each other To a Naga that for went back and forth from his home, the heart tower, and his friends house for 22 years, the as naturally caas on the streets, but he would always have escorts But noas alone

With difficulty, Hwareet remembered that the others would feel the sa a little superiority To Hwareet, being an acolyte, the heart toas a fa The others were definitely more scared than Hwareet

But looking around the hall, Hwareet knew that his thought rong The Nagathat they will visit after the extraction, so they looked like they had no interest in the internal structure of the heart tower Also, the st themselves about who in which clan is in her fertileand which clan is good for staying over in a leisurely manner

The contents of these conversations were irrelevant to an acolyte, so Hwareet, without being a part of any conversation, quietly crossed the hall While he was crossing the hall, Hwareet could hear that the naht up many times Hwareet bitterly sh to visit the Fei clan right after their extraction If a freshly extracted man went to the Fei clan in which many visitors stay over all the time, he will be treated to be a neophyte without a doubt Most likely, thethe extraction is not false, and leave Haatengraju to start wandering So, the impatience for men of theattention to them anymore, Hwareet decided that he will look for Ryoon

[Hwareet Makerow]

Soht, Hwareet was surprised The one that neered to hi inside the shadow of the hallway next to the hall But, a guardian would not call Hwareet that way Hwareet thought it weird, but still kept his politeness

[Follow]

The neer his face with his hood was overly simple It was a neera’s neerm, unlike speech of the unbelievers, can be emitted without any character, like such This is rarely done, however, since it could be confusing who neered and who did not

Hwareet, even though feeling uncomfortable, responded politely

[I apologize, but I a for the extraction]

[Neer simply So you don’t attract the attention of others Before you arrived, Ryoon Fei ran away]

Hwareet, though surprised, simplified his neerm

[Ran away?]

[Yes He locked himself inside the special library It appears to be extraction anxiety You need to come and calm him down]

Because they siuardian Hwareet cautiously stepped off, realizing why the guardian was neer such weird neero, Hwareetmuch attention and left the hall As Hwareet entered the hallway, the guardian quickly walked to the eastern staircase Hwareet asked following closely

[By any chance, did he hurt anyone?]

[Not yet We can’t guarantee anything if we’re late, however]

Ryoon Fei, looking down at the corpse lying in front of hi to lose his mind

Generally, an extracted Naga does not die froet sick and even when they lose a part of their body, they quickly regenerate But Nagas are not complete immortals, as when their body is divided into many dozen pieces like the body in front of Ryoon, there is no way to avoid death even for a Naga

But that body still retained the characteristics of a Naga Ryoon, with great effort, bent his tre knee in the middle of the body pieces

[What did you say?]

From the body pieces came a neerm

[Give… it back]

Ryoon poked the head on the floor with his wildly shaking hand The head swayed, but it did not flip upright Ryoon clenched down on his teeth and picked the head up, turning it upright

One eye was completely destroyed and the other was severely inflamed as well, but the decapitated head could look directly at Ryoon anyhow Right before the uncontrollable fear made Ryoon faint, that head sent a weak neerm

[Largand…?]

Ryoon flinched and looked directly at the head again It was an atrocious scene, but Ryoon could rereat difficulty

[Yoovex? Yoovex the Librarian?]

Yoovex, the librarian of the special library, tried to nod his head Of course, futile If you are decapitated, you can’t nod your head Yoovex seemed perplexed at this fact, and barely neered

[Anyhow… how did you come in here?]

[I, I came here because of the extraction…]

[How did you come in the special library? I, the librarian, didn’t approve…]

Because of the decapitation, Yoovex see the conversation, his neerms faded away It would be too much to expect to hope for the neer frustrated, Ryoon alrabbed the head and shook it, but pulled back his hands just before they touched the head in fright

[Who did this to you?]

Yoovex stared blankly at Ryoon, until he suddenly realized so

[I was… attacked? Largand, am I d… ead?]

[Who did this? Who did this to you?]

Yoovex’s head did not answer, neither with neerht that the librarian had finally died But when Ryoon tried to get up, a thin neerm came from Yoovex’s head

[Makerow…]

Ryoon felt like he got smacked on the back of his head Makerow? Ryoon tried his best, but he could not possibly think of a reason areet would butcher the librarian of the special library and hide hiain and shot all of his ht into Yoovex’s head

A flow ofit was Yoovex’s, but soon realized that the direction was different

So to the special library

The fear reawakened

Ryoon’s eyes faced the body of the librarian but Ryoon’s eyes saas the terrible end of Yosby Almost unconsciously, Ryoon hid himself behind the book shelf that Yoovex’s body was concealed The place was covert enough As soon as he hid behind the book shelf, the library door opened

And Ryoon heard such a familiar neerm

[Ryoon! Ryoon Fei!]

It areet’s neerm Ryoon almost stood up as he heard the desperate neerht before he neered the name of his friend Ryoon could remember the fact that he was an exile and the last neerain, and pushed out a book from the book shelf A crack happened between the books and he could peek at the door

When he saareet standing by the door, Ryoon again felt the urge to rise But as he saw a guardian behind Hwareet, Ryoon’s body froze again It was hard to knoho the guardian was because his face was covered with his hood, but his guardian costuh to stimulate his fear Apprehended by fear, Ryoon locked down his mind to the extent of autism

Then, Ryoon saw soe

The guardian that folloareet approached the book shelf near the door His hand fuh a bloody Syker was on his hand When Ryoon was frozen in fear and confusion, the guardian slowly approached behind Hwareet

And the guardian slashed his Syker at the vulnerable back of Hwareet

Ryoon screamed But his scream only echoed inside him Ryoon did not realize, but hissharpness of the Syker, Hwareet, for a rasp what had happened to hi powerlessly At the same time, blood violently poured out of his back Because Hwareet still had his heart, blood left his body like a torrent The guardian slightly moved sideways to avoid the blood

[Why…?]

Hwareet euardian s up To his face, the guardian slowly lifted his hood

Hwareet and Ryoon, as hiding, both screamed the name

[Viias Makerow!]

Viias smiled cruelly

[Yes, foolish brother]

[I thought you’d use poison… Instead this simple method…]

[Simple is always best Make that your life philosophy Of course, you won’t be able to keep that for long] Delighting over the torrential outpour of blood from Hwareet’s body, Viias added on as if she was re [I don’t think I need to slash you multiple times like I did to the other one]

Hwareet twitched

[Ryoon? Don’t tell me, Ryoon too?]

[No, I’ht librarian, Yoovex I told hiy books and he was so happy to guide me]

[Then Ryoon?]

[It is true that Ryoon Fei ran away I aiting for you in the hall and saw hi somewhere in the tower by now ]

Viias al on the top of the shelf again Taking out a big bunch of parchment from atop the shelf, Viias laid it on the table flat and rolled the Syker on the parchuardian’s robe and turned it inside out Then, the guardian’s robe turned into so

After putting back on her clothes and picking up the bunch of parchment on the table, Viias now looked like a renowned , felt like he itnessingon the floor, felt the same way too Viias smiled satisfied to her brother fallen on the floor

[Your blood is so beautiful, Hwareet I don’t think I’ll ever forget it]

[You… are not normal, Viias]

[I don’t know, you’re the one spewing blood on the floor Who’s the not-normal one?]

Answering heartlessly, Viias suddenly bent down From Ryoon’s mouth ca it Hwareet screamed in refusal

[Get away from me!]

But Viias left Hwareet’s lips after a while Getting upright, Viias licked her lips then s

[Farewell, brother]

Then Viias opened the door and left
