Episode 33
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Didn’t you defend me? I didn’t say it directly, but I know the Archbishop induced me not to punish me.”
She said that and looked at me.
“The fact that you gave that name to Lindell’s child must mean that you know my situation as well.”
“Are you talking about Karia?”
“It is.”
Caria only.
To be honest, I don’t know all the details.
What happened between her and her kin, why did her kin want to get away from her… …You don’t even know such details.
“You know at least that what you are looking for is blood.”
“…Didn’t that kid say something else?”
“Yes nothing.”
She was silent for a moment.
It may be that I couldn’t bear to open my mouth because of the soaring emotions.
“What I know is only an inference through a brief conversation. Things like getting caught by a rat and almost becoming a slave to a rich man.”
far away
As soon as I finished my words, a strong force flowed from her.
If there is a rat in front of my eyes, I will tear it apart right away.
“I’m going to catch that catch… …!”
“It is clear that it escaped from the rat. So, please calm down first.”
At my words, slowly, her momentum began to calm down.
And after a while, she opened her mouth.
“…It’s a story that doesn’t matter. There was an idiot who lost her husband in the Lawless Zone. Later, the culprit was revealed to be a rogue boat.”
“….”
“Revenge was taken, but the ruthless hatred did not go away. And the idiot saw the root cause that took away her husband.”
The cause she found was lawlessness.
Because it is a land without laws, I thought that beasts and innocent victims were created.
And from then on.
She began to act as a judge in a land without law.
Emotions and mercy… ….
leaving everything behind.
“But I didn’t see anything really important. I neglected the last treasure he left behind.”
“Is that Cariaman?”
“Yes.”
It was faint, but I could feel her shoulders tremble.
“I assumed that the child also had an obligation to follow my will. The child had an innate ability to adapt. A high level of talent that can handle my difficult sword.”
“You forced it.”
“I thought that was my love. I thought it was a gift I could give as a parent. Yes it was.”
However, when she came to her senses, her son was not by her side.
She disappeared without a trace, holding her incompletely cooked sword.
“It was my fault. So it didn’t work. If you’re going to regret it like this, you shouldn’t have seen that child as a tool from the beginning.”
After saying that, she slowly turned towards me.
“So I will ask. Can you really find my child?”
“If you can do that, what would you give me?”
“I don’t like useless warfare. Especially when it comes to my child. So keep it simple.”
She showed her sword.
“I will offer you my sword.”
“….”
“If you can find my child and restore a relationship with him, then I will be your sword.”
It was an extraordinary price.
One of the few Masters in the Empire.
Among them, he is the neutral of a being with a high reputation under the name of ‘Lawless Judge’.
With a price of this level, any noble would try to achieve her wish regardless of the means and methods.
She was quietly waiting for my answer.
After a while, he opened his mouth.
“I promise.”
“Okay then…“
But what I want is not your sword. The Master’s loyalty is certainly attractive, but I don’t need it right now.”
she asked, frowning.
“Then what do you want?”
“Please accept Eileen Lindell as your disciple. She, like your blood relatives, is also a talented person with transcendental Auror adaptability.”
“…The child as a disciple? Isn’t it for you?”
“You made that promise.”
Some have already been received.
She looked at me with her eyes wide open and asked.
“Is that all? Anything else… …“
There is one more thing.”
Actually, this is the main point.
I said raising my index finger.
“Not taking your own life lightly.”
“…hmm?”
“It doesn’t matter what happens to your life. It means that it doesn’t matter if you turn it off as much as you want for your purpose, or don’t think about it.”
Before returning, I thought about it sometimes.
What kind of future would have unfolded if she had not chosen the option of coexistence with the 7th Corps commander.
maybe it would have been better
It won’t change if I accept her sword.
She herself must realize.
“…I don’t know. How are you talking to me like that?”
“You just have to remember.”
I smiled and walked past her.
First of all, that’s enough.
At least for now.
* * *
I decided to move right away.
Anyway, if I dragged out time, it would only buy time for the rat to escape.
“The operation is simple. We attack the base where it is located and strike it down.”
“…Is that all?”
Lian tilted her head.
“Still, you’re catching a big guy. Could the plan be so lax? More elaborate… …”
“Then you miss it all.”
Besides, I didn’t come up with such a simple plan without thinking.
“Anyway, a rat can’t escape from here. There’s a reason why he shouldn’t run away.”
“…reason?”
“shadow.”
I tapped the shadow that continued from my toe.
“He was originally just a knave in a back alley with nothing. But suddenly, I became the leader of a district in the underworld of the imperial capital.”
“You mean something?”
“Yes, that is the ‘shadow’. A symbol of heresy and one of the incarnations of demons. The Gypsy Rat gave it its soul and gained strength.”
“This is really heresy.”
“Originally, it’s a problem that the Kyoguk should step up, but as you know, prophecies aren’t very trusted at this point. So that’s what we decided to do.”
“Hmm…”
Lian’s gaze turned to Cassandra behind me.
“Did the prophetess tell you this information?”
“Let it be.”
At my words, Lian smirked.
“What am I good at? I decided to help you anyway, and beating bastards is pretty fun.”
“Me too…I’ll help. If it’s heresy, it’s a problem that even our family can’t ignore.”
“Okay then.”
I clapped my hands and said.
“Let’s start.”
* * *
“Fuck!”
The rat was nervously destroying the surroundings.
The shadow swayed as if following his emotions.
“prophecy…ruler….」
“I know damn it. I know!”
I realized intuitively.
that what he had planned had gone terribly wrong.
I can’t get in touch with the master. The woman has not reacted at all since entering the temple.
That means only one thing.
‘Did I notice!’
hopefully really
Essentially, this time.
I never thought the plan would be so messed up because of one goddamned Walpurgis kid.
I never thought it would be this dangerous.
If we get the Prophet in our hands as planned, this ‘shadow’ will also be satisfied.
After that, I thought it wouldn’t matter what I did.
In the first place, this was not in his plan.
The threat to himself was intended to be mitigated by using the capital’s influential family that held a weakness.
Together. Needless to say… ….
‘I never thought there would be a madman who just came in without paying any attention… …’
Mikhail Walpurgis.
His old intuition was frantically ringing the alarm bell.
He’s never someone you can deal with in his own way.
You have to run away.
Even coming that way now is probably the Master.
There was no way he could survive against that monster.
one.
“allow…Impossible.」
With a slow voice, the shadow grabbed his ankle.
“The Prophet is coming.”
“It’s impossible to get her right now anyway! I’d rather run away and see an opportunity later… …”
“No chance.”
“Damn it, I’m behind! Why the fuck are you doing this!”
「No.」
The shadow was adamant. The moment he tried to run away, he was tied up.
It was then.
Aaaaaang!
The ground roared with a roar.
“Hee hee hee?!”
this overwhelming momentum.
There is only one thing that comes to his mind.
‘Ma Master is here… …!’
“Two bosses! It’s a raid! Ma Master is towards us… …Heck heck!”
The voice of the subordinate that had been heard through the wall cut off with a gruesome scream.
All the things I’ve accumulated so far are of no use.
In front of the overwhelming power of the Master, he was nothing but a small child.
“Yes Prophet I will do something! Oh, no. First I have to run… …”
“Don’t you eat the Prophet?”
“I can’t! You can look through another gap! Doesn’t that fucking have to be now?!”
At that, the shadow that looked just like him grinned.
「Breach of contract?」
“What! What I live for is more important than contracts or anything like that!”
That moment.
The atmosphere of the shadow that had been guarding him until now changed.
“Chucky kitty.”
The shadow giggled.
“In that case.”
“No need.”
“I can do it.”
The shadow whispered in his ear.
“…what?”
“Stop replacing it.”
“What is that… …“
Before the words were finished.
Kwajik.
I heard something chewing and swallowing in the dark.
Kwadeuk Kwadeuk!
The deafening sound that had been heard for a while began to subside little by little.
and after a while
The rat walked out slowly.
Although the atmosphere was a little different.
“Kikit.”
The gutter rat, or the gutter rat, grinned.
* * *
“Buy and save…Aww!”
With a scream, the rat’s subordinates collapsed.
“Haha where!”
“There are a lot of gaps.”
Rian and Eileen quickly swung their swords and cut through anyone who stood in their way.
Kwakwang! Kwak Kwa Kwak!
Explosions were heard everywhere in the dark, and the servants of the rats collapsed.
It’s no big deal to say that it’s the capital’s underworld.
It’s not just me or expert level Lian and Eileen who are here now.
“It’s not even poetic.”
Master Milium Aria.
With a cold voice, she swung her sword. The sword clawed around like a whip.
It was like a storm.
The servants of the rats were pulverized without leaving even a trace.
[Hmm…That human controls his power quite a bit.]
“No matter how dark it is, it’s the capital. It won’t be a normal fuss once the master shows his strength.”
You know, they’ll do just fine.
Anyway, I judged from the beginning that there was no great difficulty in attacking the dark area itself.
The important thing is the ‘mouth rat’ side.
[For me, it’s pretty good to see you do your duty. Don’t look at me lightly.]
Set frowned.
[No matter how incarnated it is, it’s not something to be taken lightly. ….]
“Yes, I don’t know.”
The battle in the dark is not important.
The center of this damn situation.
rat.
We need to find him.
“End as quickly as possible.”
Reminds me of the information I know.
Those who survived until the end before returning were sacrificed as they were by the < Ugly Lord >.
And since it descended
‘The seventh corps commander.’
The incarnation of < The Ugly Lord >.
The worst monster Milium ever destroyed.
I had to end it for sure before he became whole.
Great mage who transcends by regression
