Chapter 49
After Renzo left.
I was the only one awake in this mansion.
Heldre dies, Indus personnel are slain by Yeol Cape, and the Indus leaders are stunned.
It seems like the most ideal situation I can get hold of.
In fact, it is a very difficult situation.
‘Really, not even a single mana left.’
I tried weaving to untie this cobweb, but nothing worked. A sloppy weapon would not be able to cut it, and in order to cut it at once in the first place, you would have to cut the spider’s web with a hollow weave.
Weaving in the air is only possible within Menosorpo, so of course it’s unreasonable.
And above all,
‘… … Sleepy.’
A hard schedule that started after the second semester started, and a series of incidents and accidents. The battle fought while eating dragon hearts and the repetition of mana exhaustion. and to the present state of affairs.
Fatigue reached its limit.
I looked ahead. Thompson, Kian, and Skyler are still down. They are still stunned, and not particularly arrested or incapacitated.
Somehow, we have to take action until they come to their senses.
‘this.’
eyes are heavy
Head slowly descending. A sigh as if the inside of the body was empty.
In the end, I couldn’t overcome the huge Suma, and I fell asleep tied to a chair.
* * *
The Kraken ran with all his might.
The portal could not escape. The location of the portal was set to Heldre’s mansion.
I ran through the woods without thinking. Meanwhile, branches and thorns hit his body, but he didn’t care. He can heal any minor wounds, and it doesn’t matter now.
“Heh heh, heh heh… … !”
Breathing heavily, the kraken gradually elongated as it struck twigs and stones. Not that it wasn’t, but now, almost no human form remained.
‘Frondie is covering the entire Mangot!’
He knew that Frontier had one of the Mangots as his escort. We met in the auditorium of Constell.
However, I thought that Mangot was using Frontier to the end. I don’t know what Mangot’s purpose is, but it’s worth it to Frontier. But that would be just that.
But how many Mangot personnel are working for Frontier!
You should hide for a while. Changing faces, for a very long time.
Yeah, by the time no one remembers him-
“stop.”
At that moment, someone blocked the front of the Kraken, who was running at great speed.
The Kraken stopped and looked at the woman in front of him.
“I was looking. criminal.”
“… … criminal?”
The Kraken tilted his head.
I don’t know the woman’s face, but I remember seeing the uniform she was wearing.
“Aha, you Obsidian.”
“It’s good to understand quickly. Raise your hands.”
Obsidian’s prison warden, Esther, gave off a cold look.
The Kraken smiled and opened his mouth.
“How did you know it was a country? No, how did you know I was here in the first place?”
Kraken’s doubts were natural. Able to completely change his face, he is not tracked. Eyewitnesses are meaningless. But how could Esther stand in this position now, as if she had been waiting?
“It’s simple. Because you are the back of the Indus. It’s because it’s set up like a human in the theme of a monster.”
Originally, Esther went to Constell to investigate Renzo’s whereabouts after he died.
However, along the way, I got a call from the alter ego. The story of someone breaking into the Obsidian and running away with Renzo’s body.
Esther then moved to find the culprit who escaped Renzo. The reason for going to Constell in the first place was to find out why Renzo died, because finding the culprit would make the story quicker.
Above all, her personality itself was more suited to criminal pursuits.
According to the information from the clone, the culprit is a monster, and there is a high probability that he hid in a human organization.
“A monster that has invaded human tissues. Then there is only one place to guess.”
As soon as she heard the information, Esther thought of ‘Indus’.
Esther had already felt a sense of uneasiness about Indus and started investigating. Only she smelled the unpleasant odor while everyone didn’t notice.
So far, they have managed to run away with their tails curled up, but recently, the Indus have made mistakes here and there. Recently, an obvious person has been caught as an Indus member.
Most of the incidents involved Constell or the students of Constell.
‘If you follow the footsteps, it is clear who the central figure is.’
And Esther found one person.
‘Frondier de Roach.’
From Serp to the present. He was always there in the event that made the back of the Indus little by little.
In addition, Renzo, who at first glance seemed unrelated to the Indus, was also related to Frontier.
Because it was Frontier who reported Renzo infiltrating Constell.
I don’t know if Frontier blew Renzo’s arm or not, but his tone and conviction. At that time, he must have been aware of Elysia’s plans to some extent.
‘But they say that Frontier was kidnapped while returning from a school trip.’
This is urgent news that has just arrived from Constell.
Frontier was forced to step out of the train at Renzo’s threats, and he doesn’t know what happened after that.
“If the monster that rescued Renzo really belongs to the Indus, then of course Renzo will move for the same purpose as the Indus. I don’t know how long that will go.”
For this reason, Esther went to Heldre’s mansion, who had long been the leader of the Indus.
By the time she approached the mansion, she had already sensed a large amount of mana, and it was almost the only thing that prevented the Kraken from successfully escaping.
“In this forest, it was a subject that wasn’t flying, and it was super fast. It seems that he rarely used Aurors to avoid being pursued, but that gave me confidence. There is no way a human being can achieve that speed with his bare body.”
“… … swimming.”
The Kraken opened his mouth long after hearing Esther’s explanation. I don’t know if he’s already smiling.
“People of Obsidian, it’s not a big deal.”
Esther’s eyes narrowed at Kraken’s words.
Esther heard that the Kraken killed three guards. This was also after she, the main body, had already left the prison.
Esther was wearing a white prison guard’s hat.
“okay. Our children were taken care of.”
At that moment, the Kraken reached out. He had already discovered that he was a monster, so there was nothing to hide.
Her tentacle attack is the fastest among the Indus. Tentacles protruding from his fingers relentlessly directed Esther’s neck.
At that moment, Esther said, revealing the cold eyes under her hat.
“Prisoner, tell me your name.”
Moment. The Kraken’s hand stopped. The finger, which he believed would surely pierce Esther’s neck, stiffened in mid-air.
“… … Kraken.”
The Kraken said his name. It wasn’t brainwashing or mental manipulation. The Kraken had a clear will of his own.
I just felt a huge fear that I had to say, and I just opened my mouth.
‘… … This feeling, I hope.’
The Kraken looked into Esther’s eyes. It wasn’t just cold. I had heard those eyes, those glowing eyes, and the low hoarse voice.
“The Kraken, a demon who pretends to be a human, kills people, and hides its identity for a long time. Your sins are heavy.”
As Esther’s words continued, her energy was amplified.
It wasn’t an auror. It wasn’t even Mana. But a familiar vibe. The Kraken smelled it and was startled. It was the worst opponent for him as a monster.
“The god Justitia will watch over you. It will take a long time for the sins to be forgiven.”
With those words, the Kraken fully realized.
‘Divine Power!’
The Kraken stopped thinking of attacking, changed direction and ran away. Holy power is a rare power. Especially in Etius, where there are multiple gods.
However, for that reason, it was the worst opponent for the monster Kraken.
‘Hey, I’m afraid I’m going to die in a place like this! I, I, I, I still have work to do… … .’
He moved diligently to get out of Esther’s sight.
Esther watched the action with a mournful look and stretched out her hand.
The Kraken, who saw the movement behind his back with a squint, opened his mouth involuntarily.
“Sa, live-”
“scourge.”
Aww!!
Light fell from the sky. It stretched out in a straight line, unlike lightning. The light literally split the air vertically. A hammer of ruthless condemnation that does not allow dodge or defense.
“Take it off, turn it off… … .”
The Kraken let out a short groan and collapsed.
Esther slowly approached the Kraken. She looked down at the Kraken for a moment, then frowned.
‘… … Alive.’
The body was trembling in pain, and the human body had already disintegrated and turned into a mollusk, but the Kraken was definitely alive.
‘weird. Humans who have committed such a sin have all died without reason.’

Nemesis inflicts a punishment equal to the crime.Is the Kraken’s Sin not enough? No way. The scale of that sin must have reached the death penalty.
“… … This must also be the will of God.”
Esther immediately shook her head and took the restraint ball out of her arms.
If it’s a human, handcuffs are enough, but considering the nature of this monster, the restraint method must be very good.

After arresting the Kraken, Esther entered Heldre’s mansion.
Before coming here, I checked Heldre’s body in the woods. From then on, she felt an ominous aura.
“… … What is this.”
And now, Esther was at a loss for words in the devastation inside the mansion.
Inside the mansion, there were literally corpses lying around. The walls and floors were drenched in blood, and few seemed alive.
Becky, Esther moved slowly. The mansion was silent as if even the sound had been killed.
Could it be that the person who killed so many people was the one who killed Heldre?
Esther walked up to the lobby of the mansion like that.
I stopped walking when I saw a certain sight on the stairs.
‘Who is it.’
A man sitting in a chair caught her eye.
The man with his arms and legs tied and his head bowed can only see his hair. He was just wearing a uniform.
With that uniform and hair alone, Esther guessed her identity.
‘Frondier de Roach!’
If you look closely, you can see that the shoulder moved gently up and down. Frontier was alive.
Besides, Frontier wasn’t the only one alive.
Three humans lying in front of Frontier. They, too, were just fainting.
‘Kian, Thompson, Skyler… … . All of them are the leaders of the Indus.’
Esther looked at her face and was astonished.
‘All this by that child… … ?’
Killing all the people in the way, in the meantime, only the important Indus people who needed information were stunned? Tied up to a chair?
Esther looked around again without realizing it.
‘Nope. That’s ridiculous. It’s impossible.’
Esther looked around the corpses and checked for the wounds. Some were cut or stabbed by sharp weapons, or crushed by blunt weapons. The weapons they suffered were different.
‘okay. All weapons are different. There’s no way I can defeat this many people and Heldre alone. Even with the chair tied to the body.’
How could he, who can’t use his hands or feet, kill such a large number of people? Also, the weapons are all different.
It is impossible to use each weapon without hands or feet—
‘… … Nope. Frontier’s ability.’
what was it I heard something. During Constell’s final exams, in order to defeat his older brother, Atjie, he.
… … The fact that he created a sword out of nothing and aimed at the neck with a spear floating in the air would perfectly represent the current plight—
“Hey.”
Then a cold voice flew in. Esther flinched and turned her gaze to Frontier.
Frontier, who had been bowing his head, suddenly raised his indifferent eyes.
Exactly just like the image Esther had heard, without any addition or subtraction.
“Would you mind releasing this?”
-Sloth yet arrogant.
She was looking down at Esther down the stairs.
