Chapter 99 – Self-Reliance (8)
The place where the demon, Karel Nadeluca, made a base was one of the tallest castles in Gaul, the capital of the kingdom.
Of course, it is not the royal palace.
If he had intended to stay there, he would not have destroyed it so thoroughly.
We penetrated inside with Azazel’s useful stealth magic.
A magic that makes existence and presence pale.
According to her, it’s not a magic she uses often, she says.
When we arrived, we looked down the long hallway.
Well laid out corridors are very long.
So it was a structure that had no choice but to run into someone.
As soon as some sign appeared, Leon quickly opened the door next to him and gestured.
Sounds and presence were blocked by Azazel’s magic, so there was no fear that even Azazel and I, who were inexperienced, would be found out.
We entered the room and waited for the monster to pass by.
It wasn’t until the sound of footsteps could be heard that Leon opened his mouth.
“Swift and stealth. It’s hard to coexist, but it’s something we have to do.”
We nodded our heads in agreement with Leon’s argument.
It was because the words contained the trick of rescuing the hostages.
In this respect, we had no major obstacles.
It was easy to hide from the competent wizard, Azazel, or to locate the guards.
The security was tight, but Azazel said happily that there were many gaps due to the reduced number of people.
“I will not repeat it again. Miss Azazel, what about the monster?”
“It’s completely gone.”
At Azazel’s words, Leon stared at the blueprints in her hand.
Having obtained the blueprints for this building in advance, he checked the location where the hostages, or Ajins, could be located.
“The first place to go is Karel Nadeluca’s private room.”
He put the blueprint into the inside pocket of his jacket and left the room.
We also followed him.
Leon slammed into a corner, or passed several guards.
Before long, we reached the expected location of Karel’s private room.
It seems like it arrived really easily, but all of this was possible because the number of monsters guarding the castle had decreased.
Of course, in Karel’s private room, two escort monsters were guarding the entrance.
Was humanoid.
“I will subdue you.”
Red haired witch.
Azazel casts a spell.
A long order of several measures.
However, unlike such a grand spell, Azazel’s magic only emitted a small light.
That wasn’t the end.
Little ray of light.
Soon after, the light exploded and headed straight for the two monsters.
Hwaaak!
They couldn’t even let out a scream.
It was a cut off.
The two monsters, which had been cooked to golden brown, collapsed on the floor in vain.
There was no room for other monsters to notice.
The light wasn’t that bright, and there was no sound.
At most, the sound of the monster being defeated was all.
The only peculiarity is that I poked her nose with the weird tan?
A monster with a sensitive sense of smell might notice it.
“Atmosphere freeze.”
Azazel finished her magical treatment as if to hold on to those worries.
There was no more burnt smell.
Azazel hid the appearance of the monster that had been defeated by illusion magic, and set up a monster made of fantasy.
Like a scarecrow.
She was curious, so when she touched the monster’s body, she could feel the texture.
“Is this fantasy?”
Azazel shrugged her shoulders.
“Since the senses are also deceived, it is an illusion type.”
I won’t be heard for a while.
Leon calmly opened his mouth.
“I will enter.”
I opened the door and entered.
The demon’s room was dark.
It is so dark that it seems like an abyss.
Did he even live in the dark?
Everyone came in and the door closed.
Even if you leave it open, it will only raise suspicion.
The air was heavy and stinging.
It is mixed with terrible demonic energy, so it will act as a contradiction to humans.
It was unpleasant, like entering the stomach of a creature and exploring its intestines.
“There are no major features.”
Those were the words of Leon, who looked closely at his surroundings.
“I don’t even have a child.”
My words were taken by Azazel.
“Shall we search the underground prison?”
In general, it is normal to keep hostages on that side.
It’s normal.
If it’s Karelin, I think she’ll keep Ain by her side.
As I made a subtle expression, Azazel tilted her head.
“Aria sister?”
“Oh, no. Shall we move at once?”
Better move than discuss here.
It was a word spoken in that sense.
The two lightly agreed.
The moment I was about to leave the room.
Shadows spread across the room.
No other meaning
The shadow spread across the space as if paint was literally mixed with water.
Realizing the abnormal situation, I immediately used the sex method.
I came to the conclusion that it must be so.
It was close to a sixth sense.
A dome-shaped shield of pure white was struck.
I guess it wasn’t a bad judgment.
Kagagagagagagang!
When the shadow and the shield met, the sound of scraping metal continued.
Something like sparks flew out.
Sharp shadow spines like the teeth of a shark or the teeth of a lamprey.
The thorns rotate fiercely and gnaw through the protective shield.
It is like watching the process of cutting iron with a grinder.
I couldn’t hold out for long.
I cried out in anger.
“It will break soon!”
It wasn’t a stupid, stupid person with me.
Leon and Azazel immediately set themselves up.
Chakang!
The shell of the protective film shattered like an egg breaking.
The shadow rushes at me as it is.
Dangerous situation.
Awesome!
The only avant-garde of our party.
Leon stepped right in front of me and cut off the shadow thorn.
It was as simple as Ahin’s attitude.
I’m not a person who grew up like a beautiful flower.
-Keeeee!
The shadow makes a sound like an impatient scream.
Did you see that shadow can also be used as a physical force?
Well, since it has a form, it must have hit the shield.
Azazel immediately created a fireball and sent it towards the shadow.
Kuwaaaaang!
More than before, the ship gave off a loud explosion and deflagration.
A shrill scream rang out, and smoke filled the room.
Some of the furniture appears to be on fire.
With the emphasis on destructive power, it seemed that he hadn’t thought of anything else.
The three of us stared at the billowing smoke in silence.
I had a hunch that it wouldn’t hurt like this.
That hunch was so right that it made me feel sick.
Chow ah!
A sharp shadow advancing through the smoke explosion.
Leon barely reacted to the shadow stabbed like a spear and struck it off with his sword.
Thanks to that, there is a gap.
That little grace.
I cast a spell for a shield.
As if not to miss it, the shadow is divided into several branches.
Two, four, eight, sixteen.
A shadow that changes in units of the power of 2 approaches threateningly.
However, the wizard was not idle either.
Azazel created another fireball with a high-speed chant and blew it away.
Aaaaang!
Brilliant colors harmonize with each other.
Again, a colorful fireworks display unfolded in the large room.
A fierce heat was felt from the front.
This time it’s authentic.
Wouldn’t it be a little less energetic?
Until the explosion subsided, we remained alert and vigilant.
Tack, Tack.
There was only the sound of fire burning.
There was quite a bit of commotion.
It was the moment when the long-awaited plan went awry.
No matter how much things don’t go as planned, who would have thought there would be something like that in the room?
Azazel licked her lips like a fever.
“I guess demons have a noble hobby of setting up traps in their rooms?”
There was no one here who was relaxed enough to answer her questions.
People say
Someone took Azazel’s words.
“Her sister’s eccentricity does not represent all demons.”
We turned her head in the direction the voice came from.
A purple-haired girl wearing a leotard and a pink fur coat stood in a bewitching pose.
Her fresh eyes were too fierce.
It’s not just the eyes.
Their voice, tone, and behavior seemed to be united with hostility.
Leon responded coldly.
“Brother?”
She waved her hand and brushed the dust off her coat.
“Oh, didn’t you know? Ugh, I guess Arya didn’t know either. Karel is my brother.”
Apart from the fresh smile, I felt a high degree of hostility.
I wasn’t embarrassed.
Who was whose brother was not something I really wanted to know.
Increases physical abilities, increases body regeneration, weakens curses, and increases mana regeneration.
He glared at her after she quickly uttered her gender equivalent to hers.
“Did you stop dressing as a nun? That vulgar look suits you better, Gina.”
It was Azazel and Leon who reacted starkly to my appearance.
Azazel looked at me with her eyes wide open like a squirrel’s, and Leon let out a mischievous laugh.
For the time being, it seems that he has no intention of interrupting our conversation with Gina.
Gina curled up her bright red lips at my sarcasm.
“Well, I think I’m less likely than the saintess to give in to strangers and give them crotches.”
It is a word that heals wounds.
Going into Dirty Talk, I had no way to beat Gina.
No matter what I slandered her, I couldn’t hurt her as much as she said, ‘Yeah, you’re a bitch bitch.’
No.
I do have one.
“How tired of you would Ronin play with something like me? Madame?”
I know Gina’s obsession with Ronin is intense.
Also, Gina’s face value is that of a teenage girl, but I know that she has aged considerably.
Lastly, all women hate being told they’re old.
It is the truth that is no different from the grand proposition.
The words extracted from these sensitive parts must have become an iron core that pierces Jina’s heart.
In fact, her facial muscles, which had been normal, twitched greatly.
“It’s as ridiculous as saying that Galvo, who rolls with this man and that man, seeks innocence.”
The horse is sick.
Because what she said was unavoidable.
But I feigned composure.
As if nothing is wrong.
As if you want to talk freely.
Originally, in a verbal fight, it is important that the amount of damage inflicted on the opponent is high.
Because that’s how you know it’s self-destruction.
I decided to stab her in the back.
“It’s better than a bitch who gets turned away like a devotee. At least you get love, right?”
“You’re cheeky.”
“You were the one who started first, right? Hehe, are you upset about it first?”
“That handsome figure, Ronin would be very happy to see it.”
Flinch.
My body trembled.
It was an instinctive fear.
It was a lie.
Ronin is dead.
“Are you bluffing?”
Gina curled up the corner of her mouth.
“What you are doing must be bluffing.”
“Don’t try to trick people with useless nonsense. Where is Ain?”
“Why are you looking for that fledgling hero from me?”
“You know.”
“That’s right. I want to know?”
“So I ask.”
Gina tapped her own head with her index finger.
Smiled at her
“If you are curious, find out on your own.”
Aaaaang!
It was an explosion from Gina.
A feast of explosions and fireworks so grand that it was incomparable to the previous one.
The firepower of the general fireball is different from the ark.
I couldn’t hide my absurd expression and looked around.
“The things I said to my sister were too similar, so I blew them off, did I do something wrong?”
I gave a thumbs up.
“Azazel is the best.”
