Chapter 190 – The Fellowship Escape
Episode 190 Expedition Escape
Perhaps thanks to the saintess’ extremely sincere massage, her body recovered to the extent of opening this space.
A month later, if you have a one-on-one conversation with a new saint, you will get a lot of information that will help her ending.
Ikarut returned to the Devil’s Castle, promising a day to come soon with Elegia.
“Master, are you back?”
When I opened this space and came out, my aide, Mamon, was waiting first.
Pretending not to know the huge amount of paperwork jammed in his side, Ikarut chinned.
The high-ranking demons gathered behind Mamon.
It seemed to be gathering in an emergency rather than welcoming.
Unusual atmosphere.
Something happened while he was away.
With silent permission, Mamon glanced at the saintess.
And as if he had seen something he couldn’t see, he crumpled his brow finely and opened his mouth.
“The entire expeditionary force that was imprisoned in the dungeon has disappeared.”
Ikarut’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
The air became so cold that it took his breath away, but Mamon didn’t care.
“There is no trace of breaking the barrier magic, and the technique has not changed. They probably planned an escape from inside and moved as a group.”
“Let me check for myself.”
“First hit me in the neck and go.”
Mammon fully falls to his knees and bows his face.
It was very embarrassing to the demons to surrender, but the opponent was definitely the king.
Lilith, who has been quietly observing her loyalty to her death, shrugs her shoulders as if she can’t stop it.
“There is no second time.”
“Sorry.”
Ikarut leisurely passed Mammon on his knees.
There was a gentle rage in the shadows that shook along his toes.
‘Even if I run away, it’ll be my palm anyway.’
All members of the expedition were injected with magic from Ikarut.
A one-sided restraint contract was signed, and no matter where they fled, it only took a moment for them to be discovered.
‘But why can’t I feel it?’
Ikarut twisted his chin.
I couldn’t feel the bodies that signed the contract of redemption.
The presence itself has also completely disappeared.
If all the members of the expedition died, the connected minds would have been severed.
There must have been someone’s intervention.
“Master. Please take me to the basement where Delphine was.”
“There is no place for a bitch to go carelessly.”
Mamon’s voice that stopped the saintess was cold.
The eyes staring at Lesilia are cold, as if asking if you’re of any help.
“I am the current master’s slave, but I once fought alongside the expedition. You know the members of the expedition better than anyone else.”
Despite Mamon’s tough attitude, Lesilia had a subtle smile on her face.
Lucifer also whistles and enjoys watching at the boldness of putting a steel plate on her face.
“So you want to find an expedition? You once betrayed your comrades?”
“I mean to find them in order to truly save them.”
“It looks like the saintess is crazy at last.”
“Oh, do you remember me? Thank you. The world I protected doesn’t remember me, but you do remember me.”
“Her. Are you completely out of your mind now?”
Mamon stuck out his tongue.
Mamon finally kept his mouth shut because he didn’t lose a word and hit back. Lilith, who was watching, laughs openly.
‘In the Demon Realm, the saintess is still remembered. It’s also that Goddess Gaia didn’t put her hand on this side… ‘
What the hell is that tomboy goddess thinking?
Ikarut was hurt by the goddess’s actions, which were difficult to guess.
“When the hero wasn’t around, Delphine led the expedition.
Since he is a great sage, it must have been easy for him to escape.”
“No, the prison cell is specially designed.
If you read even a little bit of the flow of mana, you will be arrested right away.”
“Master, would it be all right if I recognized you?”
Lesilia lightly ignored Mammon and stared at her master.
He lowered his gaze, clenched his fists, and saw the back of his trembling hand.
Reading anger, fear, and certainty about something, she nodded.
“Go with me.”
At those words, Mamon put on a despairing expression.
Lesilia had a bright smile as if flowers were about to bloom around her.
***
A dungeon with a musty, filthy smell.
Even Mamon, who doesn’t have a very keen sense of smell, hurriedly covered his nose at the strong smell.
“Ah… I also used magic.”
“It can’t be. This place controls the flow of mana… “
When Lesilia stepped aside, Mamon’s eyes widened.
There were traces of magic being used there.
Mamon knelt down and hurriedly scanned the magic formula.
“I haven’t touched anything, so how could I use magic?”
The magic in the prison room remained the same.
However, the traces of magic that Delphine used were made with a slightly strange technique.
It didn’t seem like the caster wrote it himself.
“It must be communication magic.”
“Was there anyone whose mind was connected outside the castle?”
“I guess that’s all there is to it. The communication magic connects the hero and all members of the expedition.”
The expedition party had to fight every way they went.
In particular, when entering the realm of demons, they had to go while defeating monsters and demons.
Since they had to move as a team, the expedition centered on Delphine and connected their minds through telecommunication magic.
“Dafnell Ivelot, you must be connected to him as well.”
If the hero had resurrected or newly appeared, the re-trust would have come down.
Lesilia met and battled Daphnell in the Everglow Forest.
Even Daphnell helped the resurrected warrior with both mind and heart.
Therefore, the speculation that communication magic was connected to the expedition party was also justified.
“I probably summoned Warp through communication magic and Daphnell helped me.”
“How can you believe that? Are you sure?”
Mamon’s suspicious gaze deepened.
Even though she was constantly distrusted after coming to the underworld, Lesilia showed no signs of hurting her.
Rather, she went over as if she deserved the treatment.
Leaving behind the strange fight between the two, Ikarut examined the traces of magic.
If it had been connected to Daphnell, the demonic energy would have been encroaching on the mind.
However, the eyes looking into the abyss couldn’t catch even a speck of magic.
‘There’s no way a hero would have appeared.’
Judging from Lesilia’s reaction, it seems that she didn’t have a second trust.
However, for some reason, uneasiness overtook the clean and neat traces of mana.
“I’ll have to go to the streets of Charata first.”
“Yes, and… “
Lesilia, who was watching the trail, hesitated.
Mamon frowned at his eyes as if telling him to speak quickly, but finally closed his mouth.
Ikarut’s crimson eyes were thinly folded, but as soon as she met her saintly gaze, she returned to normal.
“Egg plant.”
It seemed like finding the escaped expedition would give them a clue.
Because the holy sword was always with the warrior who accompanied the expedition.
‘The Holy Sword, the Expedition Corps, the world without memory, the new saint… And Goddess Gaia.’
After thinking, Ikarut immediately opened this space.
It was a waste to even take a break because the final ending wasn’t far away.
As I stepped into this space, the saintess stood beside me as if it were natural.
As always, Ikarut accompanied Lesilia.
“Ikarut-nim, I have to report back work… “
“If it’s not urgent, take care of it yourself.”
Pod!
The last figure of Ikarut quickly disappeared.
It happened in an instant.
Mammon, who was all alone, let out a long sigh.
“I don’t know what is so urgent, but please do your overdue work… “
Thinking of the business reports piled up in the office made me dizzy.
***
“There is very little sign of the great sage left.”
“As expected, Daphnell did it.”
The streets of Charata, where the strange smell of scented oil vibrates and all sorts of illegal activities are prevalent under the red lanterns.
Lesilia was not ashamed of it, as if women walking around naked were no longer okay.
“If we hadn’t signed a redemption contract, it would have been more difficult to find the expedition.”
They were so talented that erasing their traces was a piece of cake.
Thanks to her binding contract, she was able to feel the microscopic aura, so she was able to find it this way.
‘Even if it’s not a binding contract, there are many ways to find it.’
The human world, which was defeated in the war against the demon world, became his subject.
It was on the palm of my hand wherever I hid.
Ikarut raised his abyssal eyes and looked around.
‘I can feel the divine power.’
In the streets of Charata, where fornication and lawlessness are rampant, a person with divine power was walking leisurely.
Whether he was a priest who had just entered the temple or a high priest, he could not tell with very little divine power.
“Ah… “
Lesilia also glanced back to see if she had noticed.
As soon as our eyes met, the direction of our steps turned to the side.
“It’s a fighting arena.”
Feeling a sense of divine power that would soon disappear, he arrived at the fighting arena.
Why is the priest entering here?
Lesilia tilts her head with a questioning expression.
At that time, two men were talking while standing at the entrance of the arena.
“Hey! Heard he’s participating in a fight today too? So, how many times will you bet?”
“Unconditionally all-in! Because it is obvious that we will win at least.”
“Then what if I lose? The other side hasn’t even come out yet.”
“If you look at one skill, you are definitely an incumbent knight. I bet you.”
One man responded confidently by flicking a coin.
Fighting arena with batting area.
Ikarut was instinctively convinced that he would be able to find a priest in the arena.
“Come on, if you’re going to bet on an unknown driver, bet your coin here.”
A woman in her bunny look approaches Ikarut, showing her breastbone.
Looking at the collection box, coins were piled up.
“Aren’t you going to bet a coin? Or would you like to face it yourself?”
The woman glanced him up and down.
His tall body, his eyes with a sense of intimidation, and even the atmosphere surrounding him were unusual.
If I went up to the arena, I felt like I would stand as a rookie at once.
‘A slightly dangerous guest has arrived.’
In the experience of a woman who worked in the arena for a long time, he was very strong.
A little cold sweat broke out on her back as she faced the red eyes that were about to be swallowed up.
“… Let’s face it directly.”
“Oh my goodness! Really?!”
The woman makes a surprised expression. Then she turned around and exchanged glances with the manager of the arena.
An unknown article that appeared suddenly.
The knight won a series of victories in the best arena in the streets of Charata.
Rumors spread quickly, and those who fought the knights aggressively at first no longer showed their faces.
“You can go right into the ring~
I hope you get a lot of money and have a good time.”
The woman looks at the fighting arena in the middle and points with her thumb.
Lesilia pulled the sleeves of her clothes as if asking if it would be okay, but Ikarut nodded silently.
A knight already waiting in the ring.
A shabby cloak covered her entire body and covered half of her face.
A slim jawline, when I looked up, the earrings shone.
It was an earring containing an ancient sacred object worn by the hero Retina.
