Episode 141
“…Hmm.”
Condor level 3 mercenary Mel Kadan was guarding the main gate of the fortress.
The ranks of the Condor Mercenaries are largely five.
The highest one is level 1 and the lowest one is level 5.
In other words, level 3 means just the middle.
Of course, that means somewhere in the middle inside the condor. Outside of the Condor, Kadan is a well-deserved warrior and mercenary.
Anyway.
Mel Kadan, as usual, was watching those approaching the fortress.
Of course, no idiot would attack a condor fearlessly.
It’s not a mission anyway.
‘Soon I might be able to receive that grace too.’
It’s not very well known, but it’s a fact that everyone knows.
That there are those who have recently received ‘grace’ and suddenly become stronger.
A few days ago, my classmate, who was only in the 4th class, received grace and rose to the 2nd class.
It was painful to see the one below me suddenly receive a grace and be on top of me.
If you build a ball, you will receive grace.
It was not known how much or what that ‘ball’ was, but it didn’t matter.
‘Surely receive grace.’
A 4th grade guy went up to 2nd grade with one grace.
If that’s the case, maybe you’ll be able to rise to the first level.
“Hehe.”
Mel Cardan smiled and dreamed of a rosy future for himself.
Of course, one important fact has not been forgotten.
to hit the ball right away.
when i thought so
“…hmm?”
I saw something in his eyes.
A familiar face is approaching from afar.
“Mel Orn?”
He is his motive and has a lawless judge as his mother.
It can be said that they are born with blessed blood.
the problem is…
‘…Didn’t he leave without permission?’
Yes, I broke the rules and ran away from the mercenaries.
The moment he realized that, a deep smile appeared on Mel Cardan’s lips.
“In other words, they are fugitives.”
Performance in a nutshell.
If it was to catch the fugitive, it might be enough to receive ‘grace’.
In particular, that Mel Orn was treated quite specially within the Condor.
Mel Cardan has been busy.
He soon reached right in front of Mel Orn.
His mother has a great background, but it doesn’t matter.
No matter how good the Master is, he can’t stop the fact that he’s a fugitive.
“Mel Orn!”
“Is it Kadan?”
Mel Orn said calmly even when he saw him.
In response, he frowned for a moment.
‘…what?’
Why is this guy so calm?
Of course, it seemed like he was going to line up with a nervous expression or a reason for leaving without permission… ….
“You are too proud of the subject of a fugitive. You know the rules of the condor, right? Your unauthorized departure… …“
I am not a fugitive.”
However, contrary to his thoughts, Mel Orn was confident.
“I’ve never had a breakout. Rather, it should be seen that I have fulfilled my duty as a condor.”
“What nonsense is that!”
You’re talking nonsense.
Is leaving without permission fulfilling its duty?
Maybe he thinks that recklessly going strong is the way to avoid punishment.
“It’s no use trying to avoid punishment! The news of you has already reached the ears of the first-class members… …”
“I have been blessed, Kadan.”
“…!”
At that moment, Mel Cardan’s face contorted.
It was an answer I hadn’t even expected.
“Oh grace…?”
“Yes. I went out to save the grace I received, but I did not abandon my duty.”
I couldn’t find out more.
blessing? Was it said that Mel Orn was favored? no, there is no possibility
Grace is not foretold.
It is chosen spontaneously and suddenly, and it is received suddenly.
A black emotion welled up in the depths of my heart.
He himself is doing everything in his power to gain credit, but this bastard is blessed?
Couldn’t admit it.
“does not make sense…!”
“Welcome back Mel Orn!”
Then someone approached from behind with a loud voice.
Mel Orn’s eyes flickered for a moment as he saw him.
Mel Kadan also looked back in amazement when he realized who he was.
“Vice vice-captain?!”
Vice-captain Kier.
He is the second-in-command of the Condor Mercenary Corps, and is no different than the first-in-command at this point.
He just appeared here.
For Mel Cardan, who is only a 3rd grader, it is difficult to see him.
“You may return to your location, Mel Cardan! No problem. As Mel Orn said here, he did not leave without permission.”
“Ha, but the vice-captain…!”
“Mel Cardan.”
The vice-captain looked at him quietly.
“I said there was no problem.”
“…!”
Mel Cardan’s face went pale.
The sharp momentum from the vice-captain pressed against his shoulders.
Soon, he lowered his head and went back to his seat.
After Mel Cardan returned to his seat,
Kier silently looked at Mel Orn, or Caria.
A black darkness lurked in his eyes.
“Did you accept it?”
“That’s right.”
The shadow of Kariaman, who said so, wriggled.
Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Kier’s lips.
If the shadow moves, it means that the monster has been successfully accepted.
Only that Karia was the proof that she had finally fully become a ‘member’ of them.
“Feel so good. however…I have one doubt. The news of the two compatriots I sent to you has been cut off. Do you know what happened?”
“The hero intervened.”
Only Karia frowned and explained the situation.
“They both seemed to be unlucky enough to catch the hero’s eye.”
“Then how did you survive?”
“There was a change in the process of capturing ‘Grace’. My Grace specializes in stealth. Even the warrior didn’t notice.”
“Hoo.”
A strange light appeared in Kier’s eyes.
“Even the hero didn’t notice? Then show your grace.”
“yes.”
Cariaman said that and quietly showed his ‘grace’.
“…hmm?”
I didn’t feel anything.
As if there was no such thing as Magi from Cariaman in front of me.
Seeing that, Kier laughed.
“Haha, amazing! I never thought there would be ‘grace’ that develops in this way! I got to see something new again!”
“I am confident that it will help my compatriots. Unfortunately, I couldn’t save the two who came to me.”
“Okay! Such power is a necessary sacrifice!”
Kier smiled contentedly.
An existence that even the hero doesn’t notice even though he has a monster!
He will welcome you too.
It could be used as an assassin that is superior to anyone else.
“By the way, Vice-captain. I have one thing to report.”
“…report?”
“Yes, it is related to the hero.”
Cariaman continued with his dark eyes shining.
“He came with me now.”
“…!”
Kier’s eyes widened.
* * *
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“…haha.”
At my words, Kariaman sat down with a helpless laugh.
As I said, he came before the vice-captain as their ‘brother’.
Of course, the vice-captain didn’t notice my deception.
“Are you sure I have to keep wearing this?”
Cariaman asked as he watched the wriggling things in his shadow.
[Rather Killing Big!]
[Bull. Why am I… …!]
Screams are heard immediately.
Marlon and Baskerville.
Yes.
What I attached to Kariaman’s shadow was none other than their souls.
Although the two were modified by me, they were still subordinate to Enoch.
Of course, Kier, also subordinate to Enoch, cannot help but realize the strangeness.
It’s about the same as you.
As a bonus, you wouldn’t even notice the strangeness unless Enoch came as a body.
You would think of it simply as a ‘special grace’.
“For now, it would be nice to wear it. It won’t do any damage to Kariaman-nim anyway, so it should be fine.”
“Then it’s fine, but…”
Cariaman looked at his shadow with a complicated expression and then spoke to me.
“Anyway, the vice-captain trusted me. I guess I never thought it would mimic erosion.”
“I guess so. No one but me can do this.”
Among those warriors, I must be the one who is exceptionally heterogeneous.
I was able to imitate at least some of the powers of demons last time, and I could be said to be a bit out of their common sense.
“But wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
Milium looked at Cariaman with a worried expression and said.
“If they noticed that…“
It’s okay, mother. It’s something I’ve decided to deal with. I am no longer a child.”
“…Uhm.”
Milium, who saw that his son Kariaman’s will was firm, did not say more there.
“it’s okay. I will continue to look after Kariaman, and if there is a problem, I will intervene by any means necessary.”
“It’s not that I don’t trust my benefactor. What should I just say… …”
“I understand. Parents’ hearts are all like that. I agree.”
But it is necessary anyway.
There must be a way to take the risk and enter the front, but if that’s the case, I can’t guarantee the safety of Sir Mylus.
“As you said, I made a proposal to the vice-captain. And he accepted it as a good idea.”
“I guess so.”
His suggestion is simple.
That the ‘eroded’ man seduces me and lures me into the mercenary citadel.
The citadel is the base of the bastard.
He will think he can assassinate me if he has the time, and he will certainly do so.
For the vice-captain, being a hero must be a valuable sacrifice that cannot be compared with anything else in the world.
“Kariaman-nim, you just have to continue acting as their ‘brother’. As long as the things I gave you stick with them, they won’t doubt you for a while.”
“All right.”
“then…”
I looked around the rest.
Cariaman was given the most important role.
So what do we do while he’s focused on those things.
“First of all, our ultimate goal is to save Sir Mylus.”
I have no intention of ending the condor mercenary group.
If it had reached an irreversible point, he might have made the choice to erase the mercenaries themselves.
But it can still be revived.
‘Fortunately, the area to be cut out is clear.’
Vice-captain Kier.
And the mercenaries who went beyond simply being named without knowing it, knowingly sympathizing with him.
They should all be erased.
“I was a little curious about what the condor mercenaries were like. If you do well, you can fight without a fight.”
“Anyway, we’ll have to fight.”
I’m still not sure if that’s happening in exactly the circumstances I intended or not.
Anyway, one thing is clear.
If the rotten part that is eating the condor this time is cut out, the hawk will fly again.
and….
‘I should be able to get a sense of where Enoch is.’
I will be able to locate the third Prime Evil.
Great mage who transcends by regression
