    Chapter 101

    Episode 101

    Chris looked slightly surprised.

    ‘Well, Jupien originally had a righteous personality. He even opposed the Demon King of Blood and died.’

    I felt grateful.

    ‘He even spoke for me during meetings. He’s helped me a lot in various ways so far.’

    I said it as a gesture of gratitude.

    “are you okay.”

    “…Are you okay?”

    “It doesn’t really help. You’re too weak right now.”

    “!!”

    Jupienne’s face turned bright red.

    But it was true.

    3 star award.

    It was an incredible accomplishment for her age, in her late teens, but it didn’t do Chris much good.

    Still, it’s unlikely that I’d feel good hearing such talk openly.

    The moment when Jupienne was about to frown.

    “Don’t try to forcefully combine illusion and sword.”

    “!!”

    Jupienne flinched.

    It was advice for her.

    Chris continued speaking with a serious expression.

    “If the sword and illusion each survive, they will eventually unite.”

    In order to reach level 4 with the illusion technique that Jupien is learning, you must be able to transform the black sword into illusion technique.

    A state where both must unite.

    This is the part where Jupien is blocked by a wall, and it is the part where many illusionist magicians experience frustration.

    “How can you solve my problems?”

    “I saw you practicing a while ago, and it was obvious. As you know, I’m a genius.”

    Chris smiled faintly.

    “Now, look.”

    Chris took up the sword.

    A black sword flashed up.

    A black sword that transforms at the same time.

    It was a dark cloud, a black cloud, but it was completely different from the usual black clouds.

    As if a welcoming magic had been cast.

    A thick, huge cloud of darkness spread out.

    It is a demonstration of the union of the four adult swordsmanship skills and the black sword.

    It is impossible to tell where the black sword ends and where the illusion ends. That is why it is a deadly illusion black sword.

    “…When did you learn the sword technique like that?”

    “I’ve never practiced it before. I just tried it after seeing you practice last time. Did you do well?”

    “…You’re really unlucky.”

    I took a quick look to see if his pride was hurt, but it wasn’t.

    Jupienne’s eyes were fixed on the illusion Chris had created.

    As if he didn’t want to miss a single one.

    Chris shrugged and said,

    “You know what I’m saying? The essence of unity is, after all, the Black Sword. If your Black Sword is fully alive, it can transform into an illusion. Now that you’ve seen it, you can do it, right?”

    Jupienne didn’t answer, but it seemed like she understood.

    Chris wasn’t just giving a rough demonstration.

    In order to ensure that Jupien could receive practical help, the operation of the Black Sword was deliberately detailed, and the process of uniting with the Welcome was also followed in a standard manner. Just as an example.

    Finally, Jupien, who had been thinking about the process continuously, immediately realized what he was lacking.

    Although he wasn’t as talented as Jupiendo Chris, he was still a talented person who deserved to be called a genius.

    “I won’t say thank you.”

    “Yeah, you don’t have to. Instead, pay it back with labor. I’ll make you suffer later on for several times the amount of teaching you did.”

    “…….”

    “Now, go and practice hard so that you can help me.”

    Jupienne frowned and turned away.

    “If you need anything, please let me know. I need to return the favor.”

    Pfft!

    Jupienne disappeared, and Chris chuckled.

    At that moment, Merlin shook her head from the side.

    “Confucius is true.”

    “why?”

    “No, it’s tempting. I wonder when I’ll be able to have a real fight with Confucius.”

    Merlin spoke in a voice that was filled with triumph, perhaps excited by Chris’s swordsmanship.

    “I think it’s okay to fight for my life with all my might now.”

    “If you fight for your life, you will be in danger now?”

    “That makes it even better. It’s so thrilling and exciting when your life is at stake during battle.”

    Chris looked at Merlin with a perverted gaze for a moment, then coughed.

    “I’ll give you a duel after this is over. By the way, Merlin, I have something for you to do.”

    “Tell me anything.”

    “Infiltrate the castle of Count Liberi.”

    “Is this the castle of the Counts of Liberi?”

    “Okay, make sure you don’t get caught and stay hidden. If you wait, I’ll contact you separately.”

    It was a strange order.

    “And Alos?”

    “Well, what should I do? If I don’t have anything to do, I’ll just go to Count Tyramine’s house… Uh, I don’t think it’ll be of much help anyway.”

    Alos asked, crouching down.

    “You go to Count Kazar’s house.”

    “Huh. Even if someone like that goes, it won’t help in the war?!”

    Alos was terrified.

    Chris shook his head.

    “There won’t be a big fight with the Duke of Bursen anyway. I’ll take care of it before that happens.”

    “then?”

    “You tell your father what I said. Don’t let anyone find out.”

    Because this information had to be kept confidential, it could not be conveyed through letter or telecommunications.

    Chris lowered his voice to a whisper.

    “Tell him to prepare to strike Count Liberi.”

    “…no way?”

    Merlin and Alos opened their eyes wide.

    Even the order I gave to Merlin earlier.

    I realized what Chris was up to.

    “Your guess is correct.”

    Chris nodded with sunken eyes.

    Yes, that’s right.

    Chris’s goal wasn’t simply to clear his name.

    He planned to use this incident to destroy the Counts of Liberi and cut off Ashed’s wings.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    So when Chris takes the necessary action and leaves Dark Maga.

    There were those who watched them from above the main house.

    It was Ashed and Yurian.

    The two were drinking tea on a table on the balcony.

    “What do you think, Yulian? Isn’t it funny to see you squirming like a bug?”

    “…….”

    Princess Yurian sipped her tea quietly instead of answering.

    Unlike her usually gentle face, Yurian’s gaze was fixed indifferently.

    Something looks eerie.

    But Ashed continued to speak in a friendly tone.

    “You can be honest with me. You’re pretending to be nice, but it’s all just an act.”

    “…….”

    “My only sibling, Yurian. What kind of horrible monster is hiding under that hypocritical mask of yours? I wonder about this brother.”

    Yurian still remained silent and had no answer.

    Just drinking tea.

    Ashid shrugged and disappeared as Yurian continued to remain silent, and Yurian put his teacup down on the table.

    And then.

    Clang!

    “It’s dirty.”

    Her eyes were filled with contempt.

    It doesn’t mean Ashedman.

    This whole dark magic.

    Even ‘oneself’.

    It was so dirty and disgusting.

    Enough to make me want to burn and destroy everything.

    She cut her arm with a piece of broken glass.

    Hot. Boom.

    Blood flowed out along with the sound of skin being torn and ripped, but he did not stop his hands.

    He continued to self-harm with a blank expression on his face.

    My wrists quickly became rags.

    What’s even more horrifying is that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen this kind of self-harm.

    Countless faint scars lay beneath the newly formed wounds. Wounds that had clearly been repeated countless times.

    Yulian looked at her body indifferently and muttered again.

    “It’s dirty.”

    A curse-like voice dispersed into the empty air.

    As if sinking.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    Pfft!

    Chris moved his feet at a fast pace.

    ‘It seems like we’ve managed to shake off the pursuers Ashed sent?’

    Chris was followed by a large number of pursuers, either to spy on what he was doing or to eliminate him when the opportunity arose, but it was impossible to follow him.

    Chris exhaled, just as he confirmed that he had shaken off the last pursuer in the opposite direction.

    Now was the moment when we were about to head towards our destination in earnest.

    Suddenly an eerie voice was heard.

    [Do you need any help?]

    ‘Mefina!’ It was the demon from the 7th realm that I had met the other day.

    [If you wish, I will help you uncover the truth. It won’t be difficult.]

    Chris made a surprised face.

    ‘It’s something that can be easily solved with the devil’s help.’

    The principle of human sacrifice was simple.

    It is about offering the lives of those who become sacrifices to the devil and receiving blessings.

    Something like a devil’s pact.

    The reason why there was no sign of human sacrifice was similar.

    The person offering the sacrifice makes a condition to the devil that he be granted the blessing of concealment.

    So, thanks to the devil’s power, there would be no trace of human sacrifice, but conversely, the devil could have played tricks on them as much as he wanted.

    Ashed will be immediately identified as the culprit of human sacrifice.

    “Why are you making such a suggestion?”

    [Haha. Didn’t I tell you? I’m interested in you. I’m just doing it out of favor for you.]

    “…goodwill, ra.”

    Chris chuckled.

    “shut up.”

    [!!]

    “You devils are always like that.”

    It was a typical trick the devil would do when tempting someone he desired.

    It doesn’t ask you to sell your soul right away.

    Little by little, it gives light help, but in the end, it ultimately takes the soul.

    ‘More than anything, it’s difficult to properly hit Ashed with just that much.’

    What if it was revealed that Ashed had sacrificed himself by borrowing the devil’s power?

    Would that alone be enough to cause fatal damage?

    well.

    It could deal some serious damage.

    However, Ashed would use his power and authority to somehow cover this up, and there was a high possibility that things would end on an appropriate note.

    I couldn’t let it pass like that.

    ‘This kind of opportunity doesn’t come easily. I have to give him a decisive, fatal blow. Something that can bring Ashed to the ground.’

    There was a way.

    ‘We just need to find evidence that Ashed was colluding with the Union guys.’

    One question.

    How could Count Eshd and Count Ribery save so many people as sacrifices?

    The border with Gold Cross is closely monitored on both sides.

    It was simple.

    ‘There was someone on the Bursen side who was in collusion with the Ashed side.’

    A sin that is absolutely unacceptable as a mine.

    Chris took an object out of his pocket.

    It was a previously acquired relic, the ‘Insignia of the Constellations’.

    The insignia of the constellations had several camouflage effects, but this was the most important one.

    That’s right, to eliminate any traces of magic.

    Phew!

    The magical energy disappeared from Chris’s body as if it had been washed away.

    In no way did he look like a mine at all.

    [You, really?]

    “Yes, I will go to the County of Bursen.”

    Chris nodded.

    “Because all the answers will be there.”

    Chris had already guessed who was colluding with Ashed.

    Baron Borde.

    The de facto ruler of the County of Bursen on behalf of the bedridden Count.

    I had to catch him.

    * ? ?* ? ?*

    The Gold Cross is a union of countless nations.

    The County of Bursen is one of them.

    As the name suggests, it was a small, independent country with a county, but it was a strong country with a strong military force and solid internal structure.

    ‘We can’t just barge in, so let’s prepare first.’

    Fortunately, there was someone who could help him.

    It was Susanno Hogu Ruina.

    The two met in a back alley in the County of Bursen.

    “Nice to meet you. How have you been? It’s nice to see you at the Union.”

    “That, that’s right.”

    Ruina answered with a face that looked like it had been chewed.
