50 – Flower of Cold (5)
The two men headed towards their destination, hiding their presence as much as possible.
That time when I take steps to avoid being noticed by people as much as possible.
“But where are we going?”
Ray, who was next to me, placed a question mark on the top of his head.
‘Ah, that’s right. ‘You didn’t tell me.’
Kael answered her question with a shy face.
“I’m on my way to the lord’s mansion.”
“Yes? A manor house? “What’s there?”
“I could feel the magic energy.”
“?!”
Ray’s eyes widened at those words.
In the first place, that statement has no credibility.
I could sense demonic energy in the mansion where none other than a nobleman lived.
Isn’t that like saying that nobles are related to demons?
But.
‘The professor, not anyone else, spoke with such confidence.’
There must be a reason why the man called the Grand Wizard is so confident.
Because of this, that statement should be considered 100%.
‘Do you want me to be of help?’
Last time, I dealt with a demon in a dungeon.
At the time, he showed overwhelming superiority, but he did not face him alone.
‘I fought with them and overpowered them.’
If I had been cold and alone, I would never have been able to gain the upper hand like that.
Rather, if you were pushed out, you were pushed out.
However.
-Wow.
Unlike before, my body is full of strength now.
Originally, it would be normal for the body to be heavy.
However, rather than being heavy, it is rather light.
Not only that.
‘It’s not cold.’
That’s right.
Even though it is definitely winter, my body does not feel cold at all.
It appears that he has developed a tolerance to cold.
At that time.
“Arrived. Ray.”
Kael speaks.
Ray quickly turned his head.
Then, someone arrived at the back gate of her mansion.
Kael and Ray hid behind a nearby building.
Then, I glanced at the soldiers who were quietly guarding the door.
“Let me handle it.”
“Yes.”
– Jeopuk. Jerk.
Kael confidently approaches the soldiers.
The soldiers guarding the door immediately become alert when they see Kael.
“This is the lord’s mansion. What happened····.”
Kael cuts the waist of the soldier’s horse and quickly releases magical power.
At the same time.
-Slip.
He used magic on the soldiers without hesitation.
Then, the two soldiers’ eyes close for a moment.
-Sharp!
Two soldiers naturally fall.
When I saw this, it was a moment where I once again felt comfortable with magic.
While Ray was thinking this, Kael leisurely turned her head this way.
“Let’s go in.”
“Ah, yes.”
With those words, the two people infiltrated the mansion.
I walked away, hiding my presence as much as possible.
‘Maybe because it’s night, there are fewer people walking around than I thought.’
With that thought in mind, she walked forward, and before she knew it, she arrived in front of the main office.
Ray quietly pricks his ear in front of the door and asks her a question.
“How do you feel? “Is there anyone inside?”
“No, there is nothing in particular.”
– Jeopuk. Jerk.
In an instant, the sound of footsteps was heard in my ear.
Kael’s eyebrows furrow at this unexpected situation.
– Hot.
Kael took Ray’s hand without hesitation.
Soon, I quickly entered the room.
But.
– Jeopuk. Jerk.
For some reason, the sound of footsteps is getting closer.
It looks like he’s trying to come this way.
‘A place to hide.’
At that moment, I saw the closet in the room.
As expected from a lord, the wardrobe is quite luxurious.
“Let’s hide there.”
“Yes.”
With that said, the two people went into the closet.
‘Queuuu.’
Two people hug each other as if they are hugging each other.
As a result, Ray’s face turns red.
– My heart is pounding.
My heart is pounding so hard that it feels like it might jump out.
I never thought I would hug a professor like this.
That time when Ray was nervous.
-Kkiik.
The door in the room slowly opens.
At the same time.
“Whoa. “I didn’t find anything other than an unstable fit.”
Tye’s annoyed voice is heard.
‘A suitable person? ‘What do you mean?’
Just as Ray was wondering, another voice came from inside the room.
“But isn’t it better than nothing at all?”
“Well, that’s true.”
In response to Rox’s question, the lord nodded her head.
From the beginning, I thought there would not be a suitable candidate.
However, fortunately, at least one person came out.
It should be said that the worst is over.
“Just in case, you should go to the basement.”
“Let’s do that. A suitable person may commit suicide again for no reason. “hehehehe.”
With those words, Rox slowly disappears.
Youngju slowly sat down on the chair.
At the same time.
“What are you thinking?”
An assassin appeared next to him.
Ty, who knew he was there from the beginning, answers leisurely.
“I am wondering what to do since no suitable candidate has been found. “I thought it would be helpful, but those demons aren’t very useful either.”
“Jung, if you can’t wait, shall I take care of it right away?
Tai thought deeply about those words.
‘Hmm. Still, it’s better than nothing.’
It took quite a lot of the Flower of Cold, but it didn’t mean there was no result at all.
For this reason, it could not be denied that Rox was useful in its own way.
Ty shook his head and denied it.
“No, it’s done. “It would be better to deal with it later.”
“Yes. Do you understand…?!”
At that moment, a slash made of magical power surges from the closet.
Tai and the assassin open their eyes wide at the unexpected surprise attack.
-Kwaaang.
In an instant, dust rose from where the two people were.
Kael and Ray came out from inside the closet.
“How was it?”
“I guess I wasn’t able to take it down.”
Ray shakes his head in response to Kael’s question.
As if what he said was true, an assassin wearing a tie and a black bandana appeared from the dust.
“I never imagined that the professor would show up.”
“I really had no idea that the lord would cooperate with the demons.”
“Ahahahahaha. Well, rather than cooperation, we form an alliance for mutual benefit.”
“······.”
Kael remained silent and looked at Ray.
Then, Ray, who sensed his intention, nodded his head.
“Where!”
At that moment, the assassin next to Tai throws a dagger.
Kael catches the flying dagger without hesitation.
-Hot!
“?!”
The two people are startled by the unexpected speed of reaction.
He certainly looks like a wizard on the outside, but I never imagined he would react so quickly.
-Quaaang.
The next moment, Ray opens the door and leaves the room.
Kael opened her mouth as she looked at the two people in front of her.
“You guys should hang out with me for a while.”
With those words, Kael released her magical power.
***
Same time.
Ray runs as he leaves the room.
Normally, she should be out of breath a little by now.
‘It’s not difficult at all.’
Far from being difficult, I felt like my strength was growing.
It was at that moment that she realized how heavy her body was.
‘Anyway, where did that demon go?’
Ray ran next, using Rox’s magic energy to follow her trail.
“This is…”
At that moment, before I knew it, the traces of Magi were lost.
Ray quietly shifted his gaze to her.
Then, she saw a wall blocking the road.
‘What is it?’
She looked around her with doubts.
No matter where I looked, the road was clogged.

But, why did this guy’s magical power cut off here?
“Hmm?”
There was a part of the wall that was slightly protruding.
A wall that you can see only if you look closely.
Ray pressed it firmly.
Next moment.
-Kugugugugung.
Suddenly the wall vibrated and then.
“Huh?”
Stairs leading down to the basement were created.
Ray was fascinated by something unexpected.
Then, he shook her head and slapped her cheek.
“Whoa. “Let’s not fool around.”
With that promise, Ray slowly went down the stairs.
She thought it would be extremely dark, but it wasn’t that dark because there were candles on both walls.
Thanks to him, she went down without difficulty.
Then after a while.
“What is this…?”
Ray was at a loss for words at the sight before her eyes.
Of course she knew they were up to something.
However, this was not something a person could do.
He would be like that too.
‘Everyone is dead.’
All the children locked up in the prison are covered in blood and dead.
Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m going to vomit.
‘Is this what people do?’
It must be the demon from earlier who did this.
However, it is clear that the person who helped do this was the lord.
-Okay.
She is ready to break it.
She walked slowly, wondering if there were any survivors.
But at that moment.
“Hmm? Human?”
A demon with black horns appeared in front of her.
Then, he glances at Ray and sighs deeply.
“Ha. That damn pig. “I knew it would end up like this.”
As he said that, he swung his hand at Ray.
However, differently than expected.
-Kaaa!!
Ray effortlessly deflected his attack.
Not only that.
“Hmm?!”
Rox’s hands were frozen for some reason.
Ray looked at Rox and unleashed her magical power.
-Blah blah blah.
The temperature around you drops in an instant.
Ray warned the demon in front of her in a fierce voice.
“Never think about dying easily.”
