to the North
…!
A huge wave of magical energy shook the mansion.
Elric and Mephisto’s heads both turned towards the ceiling and then down again.
Elric had a smile on his face, but Mephisto had a look of irritation on his face.
[I think it’s time to get rid of it. Let’s make a decision quickly, right?]
Flutter!
Mephisto glared at Elric, trembling greatly as if he had received an electric shock.
The more it happened, the bigger Elric’s smile became.
[Call?]
『It’s a call! This is a bastard! ” [Let me release
it .]
If you want to use the Seal of Original Sin, you must first be qualified!』
[That’s what I always said.]
『What exactly is that qualification?』
At that moment, something crossed Elric’s mind.
When you obtain the Seal of Relentlessness. He had to roll quite a bit. I attacked the Snow Mountain King again and again. A lot of people died. However, he took the seal little by little and eventually won.
To use seals properly, a deep understanding of seals is required.
What if the same applies to the seal of original sin?
[Low-level seal?]
『Yes. Acquire things that are genealogically lower than ‘original sin.’ If so, the path to the trigger will be opened.』
The corners of Elric’s lips curled up significantly.
Finally, the daunting shadow was lifted.
[Then what is the genealogy?]
『I don’t know.』
[After revealing this much, what nonsense…!]
『It’s true! This king was already a perfect being from the beginning. From the moment I opened my eyes, I have been guarding the Demon God’s side, with the Ten Thousand Demons at my feet!』
His voice was full of power.
『Also, he wasn’t as cowardly as Azazel, so he didn’t have any special henchmen next to him. I walked alone and lived alone. How could such a king know about low-ranking seals?』 He
walked the path alone without anyone else’s help, accumulated achievements, and eventually created a ‘legend’, so he was a child alone.
Mephisto seemed very proud of himself.
[You mean it was just a disaster, right? What kind of boasting is that?]
『This guy!』
[Then give me another hint. There are so many demons in the world, you can’t eliminate them all, right?]
For a moment, Mephisto said nothing.
Elric quietly looked at Mephisto as if he would not lose.
『The engraved pattern of the seal! That’s enough!’
That was enough.
Elric quickly looked down at the seal of original sin on his shoulder.
[Wolf?]
『Don’t ask for more than this!』
If I asked more, it was going to be completely wrong.
Elric, thinking that he could scrape off more later when he had the opportunity, moved the pieces of the absorbed seal to the seal of original sin as promised.
『Oh oh! Finally…!』
Mephisto’s face, which had been stained with irritation because of Elric, was filled with joy.
Isn’t this a piece that I couldn’t get because of Azazel’s interference and other Great Demon Lords’ checks, even though I wanted to get it somehow?
However, the moment he acquired this, he was able to obtain more information about Azazel.
Of course, that didn’t mean I could immediately find out the secret to defeating Azazel or recover the stolen magic energy.
Still, even if it was just a clue, I didn’t know how it would be useful.
That was the real reason why Mephisto was able to reign as the strongest Great Demon King without having to cultivate separate power, unlike other Great Demon Kings.
‘Madness, madness… It was called that and it had this mechanism? ‘It wasn’t just crazy, it also included a crazy side.’
Mephisto’s eyes sparkled.
It was very slight, but it was madness.
‘Then, if we compare this to the king’s seal, we will first start by breaking the momentum… Huh?’
Mephisto had to tilt his head halfway through his thoughts.
Because the fragments of Azazel’s seal and the magical energy that had been well absorbed by the seal of original sin stopped halfway through.
Then I saw it.
Elric is looking over here and smiling!
『You can’t believe it?』
[You didn’t say you would give me everything, right?]
『Hey!』
[I gave it to you just as much as you gave me a hint. If you think of anything else, please let me know.]
『You bastard!』
Mephisto finally grabbed Elric by the collar and shook him, feeling as if something had snapped in his head.
Of course, there was no physical damage whatsoever.
Elric just ignored Mephisto and withdrew his hand. The totem, stripped of all its magic and seal pieces, crumbled to dust and collapsed.
‘As expected, the seal doesn’t appear.’
Elric quietly nodded as he saw that there was no change, just like when he took away the seals of other demons.
As expected, this seemed to have something to do with the arrangements of our ancestors.
‘Anyway, the purpose was accomplished…!’
Elric looked back at Sean and Hayes.
They too were looking at Elric, as if they had already sorted out the situation.
“Let’s go out.”
“Is it possible to get rid of me?”
Sean glanced upward.
I felt a significant number of soldiers rushing towards me. The surprise attack was successful, but escape was a completely different matter.
but.
“You didn’t think of that? “The original confusion is covered up with even greater confusion.”
Elric looked back at Hayes.
“sister. please.”
Hayes quietly nodded and walked around the basement, picking out the main pillars and hitting them.
All of which Elric had frozen in advance.
Bang bang kwaang!
Rumble…!
As a result, every time the hammer passed by, the pillar broke too easily.
It really was an instant for the big mansion to collapse.
“Jump!”
In the end, with Elric’s cry.
Rumbling!
The mansion, which was already in danger due to multiple impacts, eventually completely collapsed.
Of course, including the Inspector General agents and demons still remaining in the mansion.
* * *
“Thank you, old man! thank you…!”
“What is there to be thankful for? Move quickly. “There are other people behind you, right?”
“If that’s the case, please at least give me a name…!”
“Uh-huh! How can you put your name first when doing the government’s work? And as soon as they find out, they will be blacklisted in their home country. Is that okay?”
“Hey! “No, no!”
The road leading out of town.
Augustine was concentrating on getting the villagers out.
Of course, I don’t want my identity to be revealed, so I wear the black mask of the Inspection Bureau.
‘Heulheul. It’s kind of fun to play a hero like this. You can make fun of those guys from the inspection bureau.’
Augustine and Giliti were not only responsible for monitoring the Office of Inspector General.
Most of the innocent civilians in the owner’s territory are innocent people. However, it is impossible for the Inspection Bureau, which is said to have no blood or tears, to consider such a situation. So, if possible, it was also decided to take them out.
You may not be able to save everyone, but you will still be able to save a lot of them.
Is it because he spent his whole life chasing after the demon lord Hyul and focusing only on the revival of his family, the Neresta family?
Augustine thought this was quite good.
[My brother’s mansion has collapsed.]
At that time, a hawk flew over Augustine’s head and a message was delivered to his ear.
He was Giliti’s familiar.
[I’ll go soon too.]
Augustine nodded and was able to spot Elric and Sean Hayes running towards him.
Now it was time to open an escape route.
* * *
“These crazy things…!”
In a pile of collapsed mansions.
Patran was barely able to get up, irritated.
Even though they said they pushed the demons into a corner, I never thought they would do something like this.
Mass burial alive.
Are they saying that it doesn’t matter what damage or sacrifice they receive?
Of course, that probably meant that the value of this mansion to them was great, but I still felt very bad.
Because of this, even though Patran almost caught Kaya, he had to let go right before his eyes.
“Hell Yacht Shannon!”
Patran called out the names of his subordinates who moved with him.
Immediately, the ruins shook here and there, and the two people stood up.
Both were not in perfect condition.
“…Shannon has passed away.”
“Stupid! Leave the dead guy alone. Quickly assess the damage to Hell and find a safe or secret room in the mansion! Yacht, go after Kaya right now! “It couldn’t have escaped very far because its limbs were blown off one by one.”
“debriefing!”
“debriefing!”
“Hurry! His Majesty the Crown Prince is watching! “If you fail this time, you will be severely reprimanded!”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
The two agents were busy.
Although they couldn’t be seen because they were covered by masks, they all had anxious expressions.
I knew very well that the ‘reprisonment’ that Patran spoke of here would never end in something trivial like a letter of apology or pay reduction.
“…Things have been going awry ever since Elric Mervinger.”
Patran managed to control his boiling anger and regain his composure.
Things got a little messy when the mansion suddenly collapsed.
Actually, he wasn’t that worried.
Anyway, Kaya was seriously injured by him. I thought that no matter how much effort I used, there would be a limit. The protestors had already formed a tight siege around the territory with no water leaks.
And since he was so busy running away, he probably didn’t have time to steal documents or important items.
Just wait a little while and everything will go smoothly.
Patran thought so.
‘And if the evidence found here gives a hint that Mervinger is involved… Huh! ‘It’s not difficult to deal with him.’
In any case, manipulating evidence out of necessity is something that is often done in the inspection bureau, so there was nothing difficult about it.
Patran was about to use this opportunity to completely cut off not only Elric Mervinger but also the Mervinger family.
In addition, the Neresta family, which has built a close relationship with Elric, can be appropriately held accountable… so it will be possible to gain political supremacy over the Magic Tower.
And what if all the credit goes to Prince Zereitz?
You will be able to establish a perfect position for the next throne.
‘It would be even more icing on the cake if the Crown Prince were to directly lead all future suppression of Grigori.’
Patran was excited because he felt like the position of Director of the 4th Bureau… no, the position of Director General had already fallen into his hands.
Now, all you have to do is bring the evidence found here to the crown prince to gain his trust, and everything will go smoothly.
That’s what I thought…
“I’m in big trouble!”
Patran felt uneasy for a moment when he saw Hel suddenly return with a pale complexion.
“What is it? “Couldn’t you find the secret room?”
“no. Found it. however…!”
“Say it straight!”
“The safes are all empty! Circumstances that appear to have involved a third party were discovered.”
“what?”
A word I never thought of.
Patran’s eyes under the mask hardened.
and.
“…sorry. “The traces of Kaya and others were cut off midway.”
The agent who had been chasing Kaya reported in a trembling voice.
“No way… was there a third party?”
“That’s right. It is said that a surprise attack suddenly occurred and a hole was created in the siege network surrounding the territory. because that… It seems like some of the remnants of Kaya and the territory residents have moved in that direction.”
“Why are you handling things like this!”
The bright future that seemed to be at our fingertips was dissipating like a mirage.
“Chase! somehow! “Don’t even think about coming back until you find them!”
“Bo bo Bo Bok Myeong!”
The agents had to run until their feet got sweaty again, fearing that their boss’s anger would be different.
However, that did not mean that the shock Patran received disappeared. A shout came out between clenched lips.
“They definitely knew we would launch a surprise attack…! “Otherwise, there’s no way someone else will help you as if you were waiting!”
In an instant, both eyes were distorted viciously.
“My country! There is a spy for the demons in my country!”
Just like Kaya, Patran also made a big mistake.
By the time he realized that, the situation had already become so complicated that it was difficult to know the truth.
