Chapter 117 – Insomnia – 2
“That’s ridiculous.”
Time passed, and the magic power he used was small.
Control is never on the low side within the organization, and due to the nature of the mission, covert work has reached its peak.
Even so.
The sun is coming
His hand, dyed in gold and shining like the sun, looked down at the ground with a cold gaze.
A pillar of light descended.
– Wow!
A huge beam of light hit him. No matter how omnipotent his magical powers were, even if he had characteristics, his power would inevitably decrease with distance, but as if even that distance was no big deal, the huge pillar of light struck him down.
“Cool, Luck! Cool! Haha!”
Resistance cannot resist. What if you had magical powers?
“Cool! Cool!”
The limbs are broken, and the pain that covers the whole body becomes numb. The pain of burning the skin is whether the nerves are damaged, or the brain is damaged by the pain. Purple Nine looked at the shining monster approaching her through her fading vision.
Even if you had magical powers, running away would be impossible.
After all, he still couldn’t deal with the red-blooded nobles. That Franz’s second son, Leoric Franz, who has gained fame in the southern regions by the nickname of the sun god, is still in the dark, but the duke has no way to deal with the royal family.
“Huh, haha!”
Blood trickles out of your mouth as you feel your stomach churn. Now, only something brightly shining in the invisible field of vision is barely visible.
– Less grack.
I unfastened the bracelet I was wearing.
I felt the faint sense of magical power drifting around me. However, it seems difficult to heal due to the medications and injuries he took.
But it doesn’t matter.
“Poetry, poetry…”
The sturdy box in which it was kept important is almost broken. No, it was such a shock, but is it more amazing that it barely caused that much damage to the surroundings? But therefore.
“Siheum dog… City…”
Number Nine. One of several factions of red blood. Purple’s lieutenant.
Illegitimate son of a nobleman. Possessor of power.
“Boo, the medicine injected into the red blood…”
It’s notoriously bad for red blood testing on humans.
Greed for power is not limited to red blood.
As if the forced breeding order that Müller’s eldest son Tirson Müller was trying to do was no different from the human experiment in the end.
“Line… Hum… Cool! Success… Yes… Cool! In the air…”
I will directly inject the medicine into the magic holder.
Manipulates very little remaining magic power. Dropped medicine moves slowly with a rattling sound.
– Kwajik!
The bottle broke on Nain’s face, and the liquid dripped out.
* * *
“Don’t be careless. When doing it thoroughly. Cold-blooded, ruthless That is the existence of nobles and the duty of those who rule this land.”
The dripping liquid stopped in the air.
I already knew.
Of course. Dominating the battlefield is the basis of combat. Warfare at an advantageous location and at an advantageous timing is a common term in strategic tactics. Even if it’s a battle, there’s nothing else.
Creating a battlefield that is advantageous to oneself.
It is the same with nobles. Especially if you are affected by the surrounding nature to some extent.
“Cool! Cool!”
The bastard, who was about to take the liquid, coughs up his blood.
Haha. Great, really great.”
“What is so fun about?”
After the liquid floating in the air was combined with the surrounding glass pieces, it was tightly united with magical power. I don’t know what it is, but there must be something. After throwing it in a corner in that state, I looked at the man lying there.
Most of his clothes were burnt, his limbs were shattered, and half of his body was a mess of burns.
Surprisingly, an injury that is still alive. He begins to heal to the extent that he does not die in moderation as he has difficulty speaking properly.
“Heh, heh. Cool! Isn’t it ridiculous… Is this really human… ? The form and the language communicate… Cool! Aside from that, there’s not much difference between a monster and a monster… Huh! Cool!”
The dimly opened eyes were out of focus. I don’t even know if you’re looking at me. Even so, I looked down at the face of the guy who was looking in my direction. Blue magic was subtly smeared on her face, which was a mess of burns and wounds.
Aristocrat At least he inherited the blood of the nobles of the title class. It’s to the point where even the current Chloe doesn’t know if she can win even if she risked her life in a fight. If he had run away right away, he might not have been able to pursue him.
“Is that why you hate blue blood and nobles?”
“Heh, hehe!”
At my words, he laughed.
I barely opened my mouth when I was thinking about taking him with me like this, drooling and looking insane.
“The power of individuals… Cool! Without any procedure… There are no proper restraints in the name of only noble duty… What do you want me to believe…”
“Hmm.”
That’s not wrong.
The Franz family is crazy about that, but other families can’t say that. Even if I kill everyone here right now, who can stop it? For that reason, you won’t be able to resist properly until the owner of the surrounding territory, a noble of the same rank as me, steps forward.
“Here is… The South is peaceful… But… Cool! All year round! Snow… Dismountable… Cool! Northern… Is? Properly… I can’t even grow crops… The devastated East… !”
Cool!
He coughed up blood
Dead blood The intestines have been restored to some extent. He could see that his complexion was gradually lightening. But this is the limit. A long period of rest is required to receive proper healing.
“They… I don’t even know the honor… Cool! Cruel, and… ! Cruel… Beast, everything! Cool! Cool!”
“Well, I understand.”
But.
Although the southern region has a reputation for richness. Even if it’s not this country, the northern and eastern areas are not land that can be properly farmed. The West also has arable land, but the area is small.
Even if you don’t think much about what a person with strong power can do in such a place, it’s obvious. But that doesn’t mean it’s on my land. The human experimentation on my people is unforgivable and in no way an excuse.
“Well, grow up first. Because torture awaits you when you wake up.”
“Heh, heh… ! Fun… Army. Choi… Hold on for… Shall we see… Monster… Water… !”
End of my words.
His eyelids slowly closed as he smiled.
Only the sound of thin breathing was barely audible. Looking around, there were luggage that seemed to be his belongings.
– Lord!
I heard a voice calling me from far away, and I felt someone approaching me slowly.
While waiting for them, I looked around the city for the last time.
As the light gradually diminishes, the city becomes dark again.
Several buildings were destroyed, and people were injured.
“… Shit, really.”
* * *
In a hastily held meeting, only the necessary people attended.
Chloe, who is my escort knight and closest aide, and currently serves as the Temporary Leader of the Knights.
Likewise, Zeke, who is the closest and is in charge of the internal affairs department.
Isabelle, who serves as my assistant and acts as a liaison between Chloe and Zeke, as well as my work.
And Triana Müller, Müller’s daughter, the current head of the castle’s guards and the head of the security forces.
In addition, several vassals were selected for their usefulness and loyalty.
This can be said to be the main personnel of Müller now.
“I don’t know anything about it, but I do know that you have to stay calm when you’re in a hurry. Here, I have prepared the tea that the lord said he prefers.”
“… Yes. Thank you.”
Sebastian, the former butler of Muller and the current butler of Muller, started pouring tea as he wandered around the desolate conference room where preparations had been made.
That’s right. I also cleared my stiff face and took a sip of the tea. A sweet scent tickled my nose, and I felt my tense body relax.
“Whoa. Yes. Right. Anyway, things happened, and the repairs were done.”
– Dalgrak.
He sighed as he put the tea on the table.
“I must get revenge.”
My words filled the quiet conference room.
The other vassals, who hardened their faces at me, also waited for me to take a sip.
“How did it go?”
“Rumors spread that it was a bloody terror. And it turns out that the lord solved it himself.”
He nodded at Chloe’s words.
This isn’t a good way either, but I can’t hide the fact that I’m already out there.
The best thing is that the knights solved it without any damage.
“A rat?”
“I am being held captive.”
Zeke went on to look at the report and said.
“However, the rat doesn’t seem to have the right information. Maybe bait.”
“Who is he?”
It is a poisonous species that tried to use itself as a human experiment at the last moment. Although he ordered strict surveillance.
“I am currently healing. He is in too bad shape to be tortured, so he is being healed while watching his condition, and the knights are currently monitoring him in rotation.”
“He may not be in normal physical condition, but he has aristocratic level of magic. The tenacity is also strong. Think of him as a madman and be extremely vigilant.”
“Yes. Okay. I will warn you.”
Zeke nodded at my words and opened another piece of paper.
“Finally the monster… According to Miss Sasha, the monster that has human traces is also kept in a cage and watched. Also, it has been determined that it has the property of nullifying mana.”
Magic is invalid
I thought there was. The problem must be that it is an artificial power created by red blood.
Is the identity of that ominous mana the power to nullify mana?
