Talent-Swallowing Magician - Chapter 69

Episode 69

: Long Wall

“…This is a mess.”

Long black hair. Cold eyes.

Judas, a lieutenant of Azazel’s followers ‘Grigori’, looked appalled when he saw the ruins of Viscount Garot’s mansion.

They say they came here urgently according to the orders of the high priest.

Who would have thought that the ‘revelation’ he saw would become true.

The problem was that the plan that the organization had prepared for a long time went awry, but the problem was that it was still unknown why this place was like this.

Judging from the remaining traces, it is clear that a significant number of troops carried out the surprise attack.

The point was that I couldn’t know more than that.

“First of all, we need to figure out why this happened.”

Judah looked around to see if there was any good ‘material’, but soon his gaze stopped somewhere and he smiled coldly.

“Something good is coming.”

Whihwihwi!

Judas became a black wind and disappeared from his spot.

And soon a man wearing a black mask appeared where he was.

“What on earth are you looking for here? ha!”

Hel, an agent of the Inspection Bureau, looked at the scene and muttered in an annoyed tone.

As expected, the new order given to him by his superior Patran was to search for a third party who was said to have intervened from outside.

The problem was that even after several days of searching, no clues were found.

Even though we searched the route they assumed they had taken, we couldn’t find anything.

It really made me wonder if it had suddenly fallen from the sky and returned.

Still, an order is an order, so I came here again with the feeling of searching for a straw.

“I hope we have something this time.”

Hel muttered that as she tried to dig into the secret room of the safe she had discovered earlier.

“There is something.”

“who…!”

Hel straightened her back as a calm voice penetrated her ears, but then stopped.

Before he knew it, Judah’s finger was sticking out from behind his back and he was turning his head to the other side.

The last thing Hel saw before she died was the coldly smiling face of Judah.

and.

Tsutsutsu –

Hel was broken into small pieces and completely absorbed into Judah.

Judas ate Hel leisurely, as if he was enjoying delicious food, and only after a while did he open his eyes again.

“Right. “So that’s what happened?”

The seal of Judah is ‘Sohwa (消化)’.

It had the characteristic of absorbing some of the memories of what it had once swallowed and imitating its abilities little by little.

Thanks to this, Judah was able to understand the whole situation based on Hel’s memories.

But there was something strange.

Third party.

Those who suddenly stole all the totems and documents from the safe.

However, as far as Judah knew, no one of his compatriots succeeded in escaping from Garot Jajajaja.

Is there really another ally that Kaya didn’t realize because she was so prescient, or is there some other inside story that she doesn’t know about?

“You can find out more details if you look into it a little more.”

Fortunately, there was an inspection office not far away.

Judah’s new form became the black wind again and disappeared.

* * *

Taaaaah!

A whip made of elephant tendons struck Patran roughly on the cheek.

The flesh was torn and blood splattered.

It may have been extremely painful, but Patran just clenched his teeth and didn’t even moan.

“….”

“….”

Rather, it was other agents present and the protesting soldiers had to turn their heads elsewhere, pretending not to see them.

No one thought of breaking the situation.

That’s how much Prince Zereitz was angry.

“Once more.”

Of course, as the most noble person under heaven, he cannot get his hands dirty.

The agent’s yacht was taking the place of the crown prince.

Wow!

Yacht felt like she was going crazy at the thought of punishing her immediate superior with her own hands, but if she didn’t do this, she could end up being punished herself.

“Once more!”

Sigh!

How many times did I go through it like that?

Patran’s bare face was completely crushed and covered in blood.

His nose was down and one eye was completely damaged.

Even if he received separate treatment, a complete cure was impossible.

“stop.”

It was only when the yacht gradually became difficult that I was able to stop whipping.

Pop.

Pop.

Even though his face was constantly dripping with blood, Patran calmly put the mask next to him back on his face without any sign of frowning.

“Your Majesty’s magnanimity is like the river and the sea.”

“I have never forgiven you.”

“I know.”

“I will not allow treatment. “You will have to cherish the wounds you suffered today for the rest of your life and reflect on what your sins are.”

“I will keep this in mind.”

Patran placed both hands on the floor and put his head down on the ground.

Five fighting spirit. It was an attitude of submission, dedicating all one’s loyalty to him.

“So what are you going to do now?”

All the plans they had been working on in secret over the past few years had gone to waste.

Grigori would have realized by now that the Inspection Bureau was following them right up to his chin, so he would hide even deeper.

Other heirs to the throne, including the 4th prince, would have also been informed of the mobilization of protestors, so they would immediately take action.

In other words, without any income or results, we only became wary of our enemies.

It was natural for the crown prince to be so angry.

“Viscount Garot is not the only information obtained by the four countries regarding Grigori. “We will invade those places all at once and find out information about Grigori’s headquarters.”

“Know. But now that things have come to this, wouldn’t they want to cut off their tails right away?”

“Probably not.”

“Why do you think that?”

“This is because, just like here, other places were hit all at once at the same time.”

“what?”

A word I never thought of.

The crown prince’s eyes widened slightly.

Patran’s head sank further down.

“I also only received this information this morning.”

It was true.

-While catching the ‘black rabbit’, ‘rabbit hunting’ began.

That was the content of the Fourth Bureau’s instructions secretly given to Patran.

The black rabbit represents the Grigori and the rabbits represent all the identified branches of the Grigori.

-Get ready for a new hunt.

Only then did Patran find out.

The fact that he, who believed that he was the most proactive, was actually just a sidekick.

“Why didn’t I know?”

The crown prince’s gaze automatically became cold.

“I also cannot guess the director and deputy director’s insight. However, I guess…”

“You can tell me.”

“I think it was a double operation.”

“Double operation?”

“yes. “I would have tried to block out all unnecessary information so that Your Highness could focus solely on this mission, and only after everything was handled, I would have explained the situation to Your Highness and given all the credit.”

Even if the Crown Prince fails in his attack on Viscount Garot, if he succeeds in the large-scale subjugation of the Grigori Branch, it will be nothing more than a small ‘operational mistake’.

On the other hand, even if all subjugation fails, if the crown prince was completely unaware of this fact, it would simply be a mistake committed by the Fourth Kingdom. It has nothing to do with the crown prince.

The crown prince noticed the whole story and his gaze became relatively calm.

“So all other operations were successful?”

“I say so. “I received word that the report will be submitted separately to Your Majesty soon.”

“Then it’s done.”

The crown prince nodded silently and turned his body in the opposite direction.

Anger flashed in the eyes of Patran, who was still lying face down.

‘He said this… but in reality, the crown prince was probably the bait.’

Partran said that the ‘rabbit hunt’ took place at the same time, but he expected that it actually took place a beat later.

The crown prince storms into Viscount Garot and makes all the eyes of political opponents within the imperial family, including Grigori, turn towards him, and then makes a great achievement by shaking off the other branches.

It was a game that was completely dominated by the Fourth Kingdom, and the Crown Prince was merely a chess piece that moved on top of it.

That stupid prince was so happy that everything worked out well that his thoughts couldn’t reach that point.

‘And that’s how they treated me too…’

From the beginning, the title of inspector general was nothing more than a piece of chess played by the higher-ups. Partran may also have ambitions, but he has never had any complaints about them.

But it was different now.

Is it because everything I built up was in vain and I was even made fun of?

I felt very bad.

‘If things continue like this anyway, I’ll end up taking all the responsibility and getting demoted. ‘We have to think of another way.’

Patran slowly raised his head. The crown prince’s back was visible.

‘Do I have to keep holding on to that stupid string?’

At that time I thought so.

Kwakwakwak!

Suddenly, huge fireballs rained down from the sky.

“It’s a surprise attack!”

“The demons have made a surprise attack!”

“All protestors must form formation! “Protect Your Majesty!”

With the shouts of the scouts, the protestors began to hastily raise their weapons and prepare for battle.

In the distance, a significant number of demons were seen moving quickly, killing the protestors at high speed.

“What is this?”

“majesty! “You need to hide!”

The crown prince, who had only thought about attacking the demons but never thought he would be attacked, was left confused.

Patran thought that this might be a new opportunity, so he pulled the prince’s hand and pulled out the sword that was lying at his feet.

Chaaeaeang!

The sword rang loudly and was blocked midway.

“Is it pretty?”

Judas smiled coldly as he took shape in the place where the crown prince was.

The crown prince’s eyes widened at the realization that he had almost been harmed.

“I want to see if it can still be decent.”

“We will execute the traitor who tried to assassinate the royal family member, Inspector Patran.”

Patran activated ‘System’ along with the spell and pushed Judah at a furious pace.

Chachaechaechaeng!

In an instant, a violent clash between the two people occurs.

“majesty! “Hurry here!”

“You need to take cover!”

“Oh, I understand!”

The crown prince hurriedly tried to escape with the help of his guards.

But the situation was not easy.

I wonder how many demons were mobilized, because their numbers continued to increase.

In the end, the crown prince could not escape very far and his escape route had to be blocked along the way.

“I guess that’s the crown prince over there?”

“Is it true that you will be given a new seal if you take only that human’s head?”

“When has the manager ever lied?”

“No. “That’s why we came here!”

Five demons came this way, giggling.

“You guys! How dare you block the road without knowing how safe this place is…!”

One of the soldiers tried to fight them off with courage, but had to stop midway.

Before I could finish speaking, my head was separated and rolling on the floor.

“Kikikick! “Is it because we’re so close that you can’t hear us well?”

“Hey hey. Don’t tease me too much. “Our precious Crown Prince is very surprised, isn’t he?”

“Oh, really? I apologize for this, Your Highness. “We will lead the way from here, so come with us.”

The prince’s face turned red at their blatant ridicule.

But no matter how much he wanted to yell, the sense of crisis that had reached its peak seemed to be tightening his throat.

I grit my teeth, thinking that if I keep going like this, I’m going to be in really big trouble.

Rumbling!

“How dare someone block the lion’s path!”

An enormous amount of aura rained down from the sky, accompanied by a lion’s hooves so huge that it felt like thunder.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa –

Many of the demons who had attacked were wiped out.

A martial arts performance that can only be described as overwhelming.

All eyes were focused on one side, regardless of whether they were the inspector general, the protesters, or the demons.

There, a large flag was waving in the sky.

The emblem of a lion with a sword on a blue background.

“Blue lion! A blue lion has appeared!”

While the demons were taken aback by the completely unexpected appearance of the blue lion Herman Weil.

The crown prince could see.

Next to the blue lion walking majestically.

The former fiancé of my dreams was standing there.

It was Isabel.
