However, there wasn’t even time for her to react . It wasn’t that she was simply surprised; the lich’s response was really quick .
Her whole body was instantly tied up by the black hands .
“Mmmph! Mmmmph!”
She tried to open her mouth forcefully but it was no use .
Then, the lich approached . The lich was accompanied by a dokkaebi and an elf .
“A human?”
“I’ve never seen you before?”
Everyone found it strange after seeing Suzy’s face .
It was a good thing they didn’t instantly kill her .
However, Suzy couldn’t help but be scared by the massive black magical power she could feel in before her .
‘He isn’t a normal lich!’
These hands that bound her, as well as the presence she felt was beyond that of a normal lich .
But…
It was strange .
While all this was happening, she felt some sort of odd familiarity .
“Are you an outsider who infiltrated the castle?”
The lich spoke icily . He had a very cold tone of voice that made her feel chilly .
She felt like her head would be separated from the rest of her body if she nodded right now .
The hands that blocked Suzy’s mouth released her .
She was given the opportunity to respond .
‘What should I do?’
He seemed oddly familiar but still scary . Liches were normally beings that made others feel instinctive fear .
Her will to fight disappeared .
Even if she were to fight, she didn’t think she could win .
‘I need to speak . ’
Nothing would be solved by keeping her mouth shut .
She needed to speak before the lich in front of her sliced her head off with his cold hands .
“I’m, I’m a guest of the lord . I think . ”
She spoke what she had heard .
Of course, she had never even met the lord, but since they said so, she thought she must be .
Then, the lich hesitated for a moment .
“The lord’s?”
She wasn’t sure why but the word ‘lord’ seemed like a free pass ticket . Since although it was for just a moment, it made the lich reconsider for a moment .
“But, your words seem a bit ambiguous . What do you mean, ‘you think’, you don’t know it yourself? Speak . Depending on what you say, I may kill you so cruelly that it would be dreadful to remain alive . ”
Sharp nails touched Suzy’s chin .
At that moment, she felt queasy . Her heart beat fast .
It felt like the touch of death was stirring up her insides
The lich was currently infiltrating Suzy’s mind steadily to prevent her from lying .
“After fighting with the death knight… I was at this castle when I work up . Who are you guys? Where am I?”
Suzy was also able to tell .
That unless she could make up a perfect lie, the lich would figure it out instantly .
So, she asked him straight out .
“Are you Tacan’s guest?”
Sungmin took his hand off and rubbed his chin .
It seemed like she wasn’t lying .
Tacan? Was the name of the death knight, Tacan?
But, Suzy shook her head .
“I’m not anyone’s guest . I didn’t enter because I wanted to . ”
“There are no ‘humans’ who could enter this place without wanting to . ”
However, the lich spoke in a cold, firm voice, turning his body to speak to the elf beside him .
“Arand . As I think she came here by mistake, please lead her back . ”
“Yes, I understand . ”
The thin male elf bowed and obeyed his orders .
He then took Suzy’s arm, forcibly raising her, and started to drag her out .
But, even while she was being dragged out, her gaze was fixed on the lich .
What was this feeling?
The feeling as if she had seen that lich somewhere…
She felt like that .
Sungmin turned his body once again and reentered the room .
If Tacan brought a human, there would be a reason .
As Tacan was one of the few beings he trusted, he couldn’t just be hostile to a ‘guest’ he had brought .
“A huge black beast…”
A few crystals were placed inside the room .
And within the crystals, traces of a black beast were shown .
It was the result of search magic that Sungmin had spread around the territory .
However, as its speed was so great, only a few could capture its figure .
It was definitely strong . Perhaps more than Sungmin had expected .
He felt like there wasn’t anyone else within the territory who could fight it one on one besides his lord, Muyoung .
The problem was that he couldn’t figure out the monster’s intent .
It just kept roaming around their territory, did it want something else?
“Hmm . ”
Sungmin shook his head .
For some reason, the scenes didn’t capture his attention .
After seeing the woman who he took for a spy, he felt confused .
‘A feeling as if I had seen her before . ’
As he grabbed his staff, a black bison was summoned .
After sitting on top of it, Sungmin was lost in his thoughts for a while as he rubbed his chin .
A woman who seemed slightly young to be called a woman, like she was just in her late teenage years .
But, he felt like he had seen her before .
Sungmin never forgot anyone who he had seen even once . So, the fact that he couldn’t remember…
‘Did I see her before I lost my memories?’
Sungmin’s memories were incomplete .
He tried to remember, but not everything came into his mind .
Although he had a strong sense that he ‘needed to find something’, he didn’t know exactly what it was .
But, what were this familiarity, and this sense of loss?
Was she the one he had been searching for?
‘It’s too coincidental . ’
That couldn’t be the case .
If she was, then fate was playing a game on them .
And Sungmin didn’t believe in fate .
There was no way what he was looking for would come and find him .
Even though she might seem similar, she would be one of many encounters that passed him by .
‘Finding my lost memories is something that I need to do after winning this war . ’
Enroth was the strongest among all demon kings .
If they won against him, it would be like taking a step forward in the fight with the demon gods .
Muyoung had a lot of expectations of this fight .
And Sungmin’s role was to draw as much time as he could until Enroth arrived .
‘For his victory . ’
The one thing Sungmin, who had lost his memories, knew .
That he was a pawn for Muyoung’s victory .

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
The maid continuously bowed towards the elf named Arand .
“The court magician has shown mercy . Be thankful . ”
“Yes!”
The maid looked glad as the elf left after telling her this .
Then, when the elf disappeared from sight, the maid began to talk .
“Whew, I told you not to go anywhere . We both could have been goners . ”
“I’m sorry . ”
Suzy spoke honestly .
If she had listened to the maid and just stayed put, they wouldn’t have been in this sort of situation .
“But, we were fortunate . As the palace magician is quite a good person . If you were caught by Kalmooh… sigh!”
“Who is Kalmooh?”
