Chapter 251 – Jerome
What was reflected on the screen was people wearing black costumes and masks, climbing over the fence from all sides and heading towards the mansion.
The number of people is about 20 people.
One of them looked like a wizard.
I am an uninvited guest.
Liliana remembered the student she met again after a long time ago.
“Did Verna send it?”
It didn’t seem like that.
Verna knows very well that Liliana is not something that can be done with that amount of people.
What if it’s not Verna?
She naturally recalls the time when she escaped by beating up a nobleman and breaking down the castle gate.
“If you catch either way, you’ll know.”
To enter the mansion of the Archmage without permission…
I had good guts.
It’s not just a mansion.
Like a great wizard building his own mage tower.
This was Liliana’s magic tower.
On the back of the intruder was a bulging backpack that looked rather heavy.
It is a somewhat unsuitable item for a clandestine intrusion.
The mansion scans their bodies and relays the information into Liliana’s head.
Here, if Liliana put her mind to it, she could even find information about her underwear they were wearing.
“What?! You’re a warlock!”
Black magician.
A follower of the Demon King.
Incompetent bastards who borrow the power of the demon king because they do not have the ability to build power on their own.
And…
There were also unusual items in the backpacks they were carrying.
The information flowing through her head immediately made Liliana know what the object was.
It was a magic bomb.
It was a weapon used in war.
One by one, they were carrying backpacks containing such weapons.
Liliana realized at once what they were up to.
It literally meant to explode with a bomb.
They are crazy
“These guys!”
This was absolutely unacceptable for Liliana, who terribly cherished the mansion.
Liliana was furious.
Her hair and eyes emit a soft purple light.
An antique black parasol pops out of the air.
Liliana grabbed her handle and stamped the floor with the tip of the parasol.
-Ridge…
A wave of secret magic power spread throughout the mansion.
And the intruders inside the mansion disappeared in an instant.
It was the magic that Liliana used to isolate Woon-ho and the others in another space.
Originally, living things could not enter subspace.
Liliana questioned it and started researching it.
The research that started with her idea of how to put living things in a space like that…
By distorting space-time, he succeeded in creating his own sub-space into which life could enter.
Because of this research, Liliana was able to take half a step to the level of a transcendentalist.
She is such a space that even Unho struggled.
Liliana negotiated, fearing that the sub-space she had created through suffering from Unho’s ignorant attacks would collapse.
It was an inevitable choice because I knew that if the space collapsed, it would take a lot of magic and time to rebuild it.
This magic exerts absolute power in terms of confinement.
And she could even control the time in it at will. It is not possible to go back to the past, but it is possible to make it go fast or slow.
And in it, Liliana loses the constraints of space, just like in her mansion.
With the mansion as a medium, he could draw and use near-infinite magic power, so literally there was no difference between an absolute existence in the subspace he created.
Unfortunately, the downside is that it can only be used inside the mansion.
Conversely, Liliana could say that she was almost invincible inside the mansion.
“These guys… Dare to destroy my mansion. I’ll thoroughly dig into what they were thinking and who sent them!!”
A black oval portal opens in front of the enraged Liliana.
Without hesitation, she disappeared into it.
When Liliana disappeared like that…
On the floor of the lab, only her tiny laced black panties were left alone.

Jerome, the master of the Dark Blood Clan, was originally a third-class adventurer.
One incident was decisive for him to become the master of the clan.
At that time, Jerome, who was a third-class adventurer, got into a fight with a knight in a bar.
Alcohol was a problem.
Third-class adventurers and knights.
This wasn’t a fight, it was a one-sided assault.
At the time, he thought he was going to die.
Like that, Jerome could not resist properly and was beaten recklessly until he lost consciousness.
However, Jerome did not die and opened his eyes again.
Next to the bed was a gloomy-looking wizard wearing a black robe and hood.
Jerome knew that the wizard had saved him from dying.
My first thought was ‘why?’
If you are a wizard, the difference between you and your status is the difference between heaven and earth. He had no reason to save himself.
“Do you need power?”
Contrary to his gloomy appearance, his voice was normal.
And it was an outrageous statement.
To Jerome, who was staring blankly at him, the wizard quietly handed him a dark red potion.
The potion gave off an ominous feeling.
“It will give you strength… Come back if you need more.”
The sorcerer closed his mouth after he said that.
Jerome, in such a bewildered mood, grabbed the potion and parted ways with the wizard.
Of course, I had no intention of drinking.
Jerome wasn’t stupid enough to drink a suspicious potion. He didn’t even throw away the potion, which seemed precious for some reason.
The opportunity to drink the potion came quickly.
Although he himself is third-rate, he was an adventurer and in the end he had no choice but to enter the labyrinth.
Entering the labyrinth, Jerome immediately faced a crisis. Monsters flocked and the party was in danger of being annihilated.
Jerome had no choice but to drink the suspicious potion.
Jerome, who drank the potion, awakened his aura at once and escaped from the crisis.
The pleasure of his power was great.
Jerome immediately looked for the wizard again.
“Finally, a suitable person has appeared…”
The mage, who muttered something unknown, seemed to be in a good mood for some reason.
“…?”
And the wizard handed the dark red potion to Jerome without saying anything.
“I have nothing to give.”
Jerome, of course, couldn’t understand the wizard’s actions.
“That’s… I’ll tell you someday.”
What did this wizard believe in?
The third-rate adventurers come at once and give them the things that turned them into users.
It would be foolish to say so.
“What’s your name?”
“…Call me Isaac.”
With the power of the magician’s potion, Jerome’s level rose steadily.
He gave him an indescribable pleasure when he tore the knight who had laughed at him as if he was beating him to death, tore it to pieces and threw it as monster rice.
Jerome quickly joined the ranks of the slumberers and increased his power.
Isaac said to Jerome, who formed a decent adventure team.
“The potion you drank was made by refining the blood of the demons. It probably won’t go unnoticed, but… If the priest conducts a careful investigation, it will be revealed right away.”
“…”
It was a threat.
Only then did Jerome find out that Isaac was a warlock.
No regrets…
I couldn’t go back to those third-class adventurers.
Even if he went back to that time, he would have drank the potion.
If he didn’t have the potion, he wouldn’t even be able to breathe the air above him and he would have died in the labyrinth.
“What do you want from me…?”
“Not at this time. Raise your forces like this. I will also provide support.”
The fact that he joined hands with the warlock would result in an order to kill him… He couldn’t resist.
Isaac would have aimed for that too.
They provided almost unlimited support.
Thus, the Dark Blood Clan, one of the largest groups of adventurers in Slumber, was born.
If Jerome had been alone, it would have been impossible.
Fortunately, they didn’t make too many demands.
Or requesting magic materials in the labyrinth.
Occasionally they asked for a human… But it wasn’t that difficult to get them from the slumber where the slave market was active.
Sending the warlocks to the 11th floor is part of that request.
Still, in case you didn’t know, the clan took over the management of the fortress, which the adventurers’ guild guys were too lazy to do.
However, an incident occurred.
The Labyrinth Fortress was destroyed and his younger brother disappeared.
A bigger problem was different.
The disappearance of the black magicians heading to the 11th floor of the labyrinth.
Although missing, Isaac came to inform me that he met someone and died.
Warlocks are not easy to kill.
But not one or two, they all died.
Did the guys who dealt with the black magician even find a clue?
No, if you even tell the temple that there is a black magician in the labyrinth…
The brother’s revenge is not a problem.
This was also related to his own survival.
If he is unlucky, he will lose all power and become a fugitive.
A hurried investigation concluded that the culprit in all cases was one person.
Unho is a high-ranking wizard.
If he’s a wizard, you’ve noticed he’s a warlock.
But for some reason, it seemed that he hadn’t spoken to the temple yet.
If he had spoken, there was no way the temple would be this quiet.
I can’t stand still either.
The problem is that high-ranking wizards cannot be easily touched.
“We’ll take care of this.”
Isaac said.
“…You mean?”
Jerome had no reason to refuse.
The black magicians sent their troops.
Seeing the medical history, Jerome was surprised.
It was literally a suicide bomber unit.
Even though they knew that they would die soon, as if they had already been brainwashed, they had no feelings.
I send them along with a warlock to control them to deal with the wizard.
Seeing how the black magicians were so active, it seemed that they didn’t want a situation where a temple would appear.
The black magician stepped forward.
There should be no room for others to intervene.
That’s why I confidently told the guild that I would go out alone with the Dark Blood Clan.
However…
“…Not a single one came back?! Is the mansion quiet?”
Upon receiving the report from his subordinate, Jerome was taken aback.
Jerome knew that those whom Isaac had sent would not return.
Still, I couldn’t help but be perplexed.
It is a suicide squad that includes powerful magic bombs and warlocks.
Originally, the mansion should have been shattered.
In other words, it becomes a story that it was hit without even a chance to explode.
Asking another guild master to control the surroundings, just in case, was overshadowed.
Jerome glanced at Isaac standing next to him.
“…”
He seemed to sense that something was seriously wrong with his tightly pressed lips under the hood.
Jerome’s back felt chilly and for some reason cold sweat broke out.
‘Can that be?’
Not just one or two, but many.
It turns out that the high-ranking wizard is more terrifying than I thought.
For some reason, Jerome had an ominous feeling that he could not understand.
