I Don’t Need a Guillotine for My Revolution - Chapter 30

Revolutionary Period – Halfas

Ambitious Perspective.

The only sound was the sound of footsteps in the hallway, which had already been emptied after warning the occupants, and when I opened the door and entered the room, I saw an ordinary-looking man wearing a robe with slightly startled eyes.

“Your Excellency the Marquis? “What happened in my room…”

“Emmanuel Sieyes?”

“That’s right. “I see you, His Excellency the Marquis.”

Sieyes bowed in front of me with a seemingly harmless and scared face.

This person probably has no idea where he got his suspicions.

In the first place, there is no reason to be interested or question this.

“I heard you were attending Bishop Arnaud Richelieu in the capital Lumière, right?”

“That’s true, but how did you know that…”

“And I helped him publish a book called Identity Theory and played a big role in organizing the leadership of the revolutionary army.”

Only then did Sieyes’ eyes become alert.

“Your Excellency, there seems to have been some misunderstanding. It is true that I was briefly employed by Bishop Richelieu, but I am not affiliated with that impure force…” “

That is something we will have to check later, and since you, who are connected to the leadership of the revolutionary army, were hired by a noble family without disclosing this, you will have nothing to say even if you are arrested, right?

I took out the shackles in front of Sieyes, who was now completely embarrassed and couldn’t even answer.

“These are shackles made to seal the prisoner’s magical power. “You will only have your magic sealed for a while and that will be the end, and if it is confirmed that you are not guilty, you will be released.”

These are the same items as the shackles I wore in prison before I stood on the guillotine. Performance is very solid. If a driver wears that, he is no different from an ordinary person.

The author looks like an ordinary human on the outside, but if he is hiding his appearance through magic, you will be able to see his true appearance.

“Your Excellency. I apologize, but I am a vassal of His Excellency, the Count of Aquitaine. Even though this is Lafayette’s mansion, the authority to impose such unfair treatment based on unconfirmed suspicions is-”

“Sieyes, cooperate with the Marquis de Lafayette.”

Sieyes’ head, which had been protesting earnestly, turned and landed on Christine, who was leaning against the door.

“If you are truly innocent, I will give you the compensation you deserve for causing you to suffer.”

After Christine finished speaking, I added:

“But if you are not innocent, whatever treatment you give to a spy hiding his identity would be justifiable.”

Sieyes lowered his head in dejection.

However, the moment I took a step, he raised his head and let out an unintelligible scream.

It sounded like a pigeon crying or a human laughing.

And soon a discordant sound, like the cries of countless pigeons, began to fill the room.

“Ugh…!”

The moment Christine covered her ears with a pained face, Sieyes’ body swelled as if it was going to burst.

As soon as I saw that, I threw myself out of the room, hugging Christine’s waist. As soon as

we got out of the room, we heard an explosion and black pieces of something flew out of the room.

I realized a little later that it was the clothes he was wearing and human skin.

I helped Christine stand up and immediately drew my sword.

“Thank you so much.”

“You showed your true colors.”

At that moment, something made of huge feathers grabbed the door with a clicking sound.

And soon, with a strange noise, it forcibly broke down the wall of the room and came out into the hallway.

“How dare a human…!”

Sieyes no devil halfpas.

The distorted shape of a bird covered in jet-black feathers has three pairs of blood-red eyes and emits a bizarre voice.

“Indeterminate Element will be considered a threat to Abyss Corporation!”

As the gigantic bird spreads its wings, dozens of pairs of blood-red eyes shine brightly.

“…That sounds like coexistence with humans.”

Judging by its appearance, it appears that it was not a minnow but a fairly high-ranking demon.

Strength naturally went into the hand holding the sword.

As the giant bird-shaped demon Halpas let out a terrible roar, the dozens of black pigeons hanging within his wings flew up, emitting a bizarre chorus that echoed throughout the hallway.

I shouted urgently at the sight of soaring black doves flying toward me with blood-red eyes shining.

“Attack!”

At the same time, knights who had been hiding at my direction came out from the rooms on both sides of the hallway.

“What is that!”

“Wow, it’s a monster!”

However, they were embarrassed by what had come out.

Holy shit.

“Your Excellency the Marquis!”

Still, as soon as Gaston rushed out, he ran wild, cutting the flying pigeons apart with his sword.

I shouted at him, who was still sane.

“Protect Count Gaston of Aquitaine!”

As soon as I shouted that, a dove flew towards me and I cut it to pieces with my sword.

Even if you split it apart, it will only be scattered by the black magic, and the endless pigeons that were created from Halfas will continue to fly.

“Aww my eyes! “My eyes!”

“You damn bird!”

While the pigeons were eating one knight’s eye, another knight cut it off, but it was just scattered by magical power.

“There is no end to this! “Come to your senses and attack the main body!”

I immediately took a step forward, holding the sword with both hands.

Raise your sword diagonally from left to right and slash with one shot.

Draw horizontally again and take another step.

As I walk, the pigeons are split in two and the black magical energy scatters, disturbing my vision.

The vertical sword cut the pigeons in half, and as I took another step forward and grabbed the sword, Halpas flashed his eyes and waved his huge wings in front of me.

“Tsk-!”

I immediately bent down to avoid it and raised my sword with all my magic and strength to cut it.

However, the sword could not reach Halfas.

I was blocked by the magic barrier that blocked his path, and my body was pushed back along with the shock.

“Tsk…!”

I held back the shock that tingled my arm and held the sword.

How could a B-class wizard freeze to death!

Just how strong is this damned devil’s magical power!

“How dare humans imitate demons and use magical power!”

Halpas rushed at me, making a strange sounding scream, and I had to retreat while frantically cutting down the pigeons that were trying to bite me.

“Hah, shit. “How do we catch a monster like this?”

If I had known this would happen, should I have brought Eris?

Was it a mistake in my judgment that I couldn’t take her to subdue demons, despite the fact that she was a princess in name and face?

“Kaaaa!”

Even if you regret it, it’s already too late.

I gathered up my magic power and blocked the huge wings that Halpas swung with my sword, but I was pushed back and had to endure the tingling sensation in my arms.

“Yaaaaaaah!”

“You bastards!”

Halfas didn’t even look at the knight who was running from behind, but struck him with his wings and blew him away, and glared at me with his murderous spirit.

I can’t do this alone.

The decision was quick.

“Christine! “First of all, get out of here and get Eris-”

The moment I turned my head and shouted, Christine was holding a pistol with both hands and aiming her pistol.

I’m thankful that I didn’t get scared in front of such a monster, but what are you going to do with a pistol?

Immediately after, Christine’s pistol opened fire, and as expected, Halfas did not even look in that direction.

A pistol bullet in front of the demon’s magic barrier –

However, breaking everyone’s expectations, the sight of the magic barrier surrounding Halpas breaking into pieces caught all of our attention.

“Oh no- Wow! “Kaaaaaaaa!”

The bullet that tore through the magic barrier and penetrated Halfas’ wings began to emit white light and burn the devil’s wings.

Is that really possible?

“I kept it as a trump card, but even the best demons have nothing to lose when it comes to money.

“This is a consecrated bullet imported directly from the Holy Church.”

“You bitch!”

“haha! “The devils of money play get hit by money play!”

Laughing at the irony, I immediately jumped towards the crying Halfas.

“To humans!”

Halpas swung his wings violently, but the wings, which had broken magic barriers, were cut helplessly by my magic-laden sword.

“Kwaaah-!”

Unlike pigeons, blue blood spurts from the cut wings. Is their blood really blue?

Halpas still screamed and swung his flaming wings on the other side while I was cutting down the flying pigeon, but this time Gaston, who had jumped out to protect Christine, cut it off.

By that time, the momentum of the countless number of pigeons that had been flying in and out had clearly slowed down.

“Hwaaaap!”

In that gap, Gaston and I rushed in at the same time and plunged their swords into Halpas’ torso, causing Halpas to scream and fall backwards.

While Gaston was holding down the squirming Halfas with his sword, I quickly ran over and picked up the shackles that had fallen in the hallway, and slashed Halfas’s struggling legs with my sword and pinned them to the floor.

I shackled the ankles of the giant bird that was pinned to the floor while the terrible beast’s scream echoed throughout the hallway.

“Ah ah-ahhh!”

Halpas screams, and the grotesquely distorted shape of the giant bird begins to shrink.

The pigeons that filled the hallways, flying around and making strange cries, fell to the floor and turned into black smoke.

Only the rough breathing of the out-of-breath knights echoed in the hallway, and then Halpas, who had taken the form of a demon with both arms severed and horns grown, let out a soft word while bleeding from his chest.

“Fuck.”

I looked down at that miserable sight and furrowed my brows.

“You’re not going to die like this, are you?”

“…It’s a wound that wouldn’t be surprising if it killed a human, but I don’t know. I don’t know much about demons. “Looking at the condition, it doesn’t appear to be life-threatening.”

Christine, who must have taken off her shoes that were in the way, came next to me with bare feet and messy hair and said something, so I slowly looked away and gave an instruction.

“There are injured people, so go and get Eris. … and a maid to help the Count of Aquitaine.”

“Yes old!”

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…”

As the knight who received the order ran away, Halfas, who was lying dazed on the floor, suddenly burst into laughter.

What have you gone crazy?

“Do you know what you guys have done now? “This is such a novel and innovative method of suicide that the nobles of the ruined kingdom are hostile to the Abyss Corporation!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Count of Aquitaine, are there any Abyss Corporation employees here?”

“well. “There is a spy whose origins are unknown who was caught refusing the master’s order to cooperate and causing trouble.”

As Christine and I gave and received, Halpas gritted his teeth.

“If the Abyss Corporation finds out about this, they won’t stay quiet!”

“well. That would be if we were to recklessly go around claiming that we caught a spy for the Abyss Corporation. I think the demons I know would rather cut off a stupid spy who was caught engaging in subversive activities in the human realm than admit that they belong to them and waste their business.”

Halpas’ face hardened after hearing what I said.

It was something I expected, but looking at the reaction, I guess it was right?

These demons are quite lax in unexpected situations, perhaps because they are always on top.

I pulled out the sword that pinned Halfas’ leg to the floor.

“Kwaaaaak-!”

I grinned as I watched Halfas scream and blue blood gush out once again.

“More than that, you should worry about your own situation first, devil. From now on, we savage humans will freely experiment on the body of the handsome demon and make it spit out everything in its head. “Honestly, I’m also curious to what extent human torture techniques are effective against demons.”

“Don’t be too rough, Marquis. If possible, you need to keep it alive so you can sell it to the Holy Church for a high price. “I used expensive consecration bullets to help the Marquis, so I believe you will make up for it.”

Christine’s face was unnecessarily serious when she said that, so I answered while suppressing laughter.

“Oh, of course. “It would be a shame if he died unluckily, so let’s look up some literature before interrogating him.”

Halpas, who was listening to the friendly conversation between Christine and I, became embarrassed and said something.

“These…humans who are worse than devils….”
