35 – Extermination
[We kidnap ‘Ceres Reinhardt’ as a sacrifice to our king, Lord Elden. If you want to get this ruler back, her knight ‘Minelle Iris’ and her fiancé ‘Lian Primal’. Just the two of us, come tomorrow to Class 1 A of the academy.]
“… What is this?”
“What is it? It is a blackmail document intended to kidnap and lure us in.”
When I brought the abduction letter to Minel, Minel looked at the letter and me repeatedly as if she was dumbfounded, then hurriedly tried to get herself up.
Quadang!
“Ugh!!”
“I’ll release you from being tied up in no time. And calm down. After all, it’s not Ceres that they’re aiming for, it’s you and me.”
It is even safer if the reason for kidnapping is to use it as a sacrifice to Elden.
Elden, called the king of spirits, is literally a king. He doesn’t even touch the souls of ordinary people, he curses the souls of people he likes and turns them into spirits identical to his own.
And when Elden was captured, the message he left to Ceres was this.
‘It’s a boring soul. It’s not normal… A soul so tired. If I change it to a curse, I think it will count moderately, but I don’t want to do that.’
The guy lives on his own.
As he died, the last thing he said was that he regretted not seeing me become a master.
His own pleasure is the only indicator of his life. Even if such a guy is offered a sacrifice, if he doesn’t like it, he’ll let it go.
“To the end, these guys’ goals are me, Minel, and you. Besides, Ceres is the only female in the Reinhard family. You need it to keep your political seat.”
The eldest son or the second son will do it, but being the only woman is used to build a political advantage through engagement. In fact, wasn’t this just an act to prevent the engagement with the crown prince?
“If you want to kill me. The guy who sent this letter would have to pretend to be with the Reinhardt family, who had ascended to the ducal family through magic. I don’t think he’s a guy that has the guts to do that.”
“… Right. If you throw away the heat here, will the other side become what you want?”
“right.”
“Then make a plan right now.”
“No, I don’t need a plan.”
Upon hearing my words, Minelle glared at me as if she had seen something she couldn’t see.
“I can’t imagine abandoning her… .”
“No, what are you misunderstanding?”
For the sake of maintaining the relationship with Minel, I want Ceres to remain alive. And when Ceres dies, Minelle’s state of mind is also at risk.
“Minell, this is not considered the last bastion of mankind for nothing.”
The effect of the barrier is obviously great, but the most amazing thing is that the abilities of all monsters, spirits, spirits, and golems are halved, except for contract summons signed with registered students and professors.
It’s not that his skill is inferior, but it’s much simpler to deal with as his overall stats are lower.
“Listen, Minel. What we’re going to do now… .”
“What to do… ?”
“It’s a massacre.”
I laughed and summoned Neros.
*****
“Ugh… .”
As soon as I opened my eyes, the feeling of the cold floor awakened my mind in an instant.
But when I open my eyes, I see nothing.
Even if I open my eyes, the fact that I can only see darkness like darkness makes my breathing quicken in an instant, and all sorts of thoughts come to mind.
Were you blind?
Are your eyes open?
Why can’t my limbs move?
Is your mouth closed?
The conclusion I came to through the process of dozens of thoughts in my head was very hopeless.
‘Are you kidnapped?’
It was an unlikely thing. where is this It’s an arcade academy. Not only is the level of security different from that of other academies, but it is also where the Skaya Arinfield is located.
Besides, who am I?
Ceres Reinhardt, the only daughter of the Reinhardt family.
When my other brothers were assassinated for political reasons, I was the only one safe.
The eldest son, the second son, and the eldest daughter, me.
These three people had never been assassinated, nor had they been kidnapped. Even if it is literally a flower grown in a greenhouse, there is nothing to say… But not from now on.
“Are you awake?”
“… .!”
The curse flows out just by uttering the words.
A master spirit, and it is also a special magic spirit like that possessed by Lian.
the senses tell don’t mess with that one. My dull senses shout eagerly, saying it’s my job to just keep my head down quietly.
“Okay. I have nothing to do with you anyway.”
At the words of Ju-ryeong, the body that was stiffened slightly loosened up.
Laughter broke out at the same time as the tension was released.
No matter how it was, it was like hearing the news that the daughter of the Reinhardt family had nothing to do with Ju-ryeong… It was miserable.
I didn’t know why, but I was scratched by the pride that remained in my heart. Even if you think about it yourself, you know that it is not what you would do in a kidnapped situation. Still, it is impossible to throw away the pride that has settled in the heart at once.
But why the hell did you catch me?
It is difficult to speak because of the gag.
“Ehh… .eeek!!”
“What are you saying? I won’t care about you anyway, so shut up. I’m just staying still because I thought I’d kick you to shut up and kill you.”
With those words, the curse that had spread all over the place covered her body.
“Turn it off… !”
It was not the use of curse spells, it was just pressure from pure curses… It was stronger than any pressure I’ve ever had.
I can’t breathe.
It seems that the pupils cannot withstand the pressure and protrude out of the body.
In order to live, the whole body is strengthened and the toes are erected.
“damn… What are you trying to die with?”
“Huhh!! Hehe!!!”
I put the gag on and catch my rough breath.
The thought of running away disappears after not lasting even 10 seconds.
That’s not something I can win. I would have thought about it if there was Minel, but it is impossible to escape from this situation to me, who is an outsider in close combat.
no possibility.
I have no choice but to give up.
If so, what is the benefit of being there?
“… … .”
“Yeah, just stay still.”
Even if it kills your ego, staying still is the best option.
Yes, this is the best option. I wouldn’t be wrong.
Rather than attacking an opponent you can’t win anyway, you should just listen and pretend to obey and be rescued.
Yes, Ceres Reinhardt. She is the daughter of the Reinhard family. I’m sure my parents will rescue me. Besides, I’m not here, but Minel will also come to rescue me.
Ryan is… We’ve grown apart a little lately, but wouldn’t you still come and save me as a friend?
“… By the way, Lorien would come sooner if he had been arrested by two years of Ceres. Why isn’t he coming? I need to get the souls of both Lian Primal and Minel Iris soon.”
“…to?”
Words flow out of your mouth.
But the horse can’t come out properly because of the gag.
I said it wasn’t my goal, but I thought it was a ruse to target the ‘Reinhard family’.
So he knew how to use me as a negotiating tool, and naturally he would find and save me from my family, but those two are the goals?
I shudder at the curse I feel again.
not. can’t win this
If our family mages come, they will win. It’s hard to imagine the wizards losing in the first place, but it’s not difficult to imagine Lian and Minel suffering from that curse.
Rumor has it that Lian summoned an outrageous monster, but I can’t believe that tiny spirit is a monster.

Just a little pet. That was Lian’s master spirit I saw.
strong? Absolutely not. Basically, the curse that comes out is so weak that you can hardly feel it. Besides, curses are originally made of a set of negative emotions, but I couldn’t feel any negative emotions from her.
I just crave affection.
How could such a puppy-like child be able to defeat such a curse… .
bang!!!
“… what?”
In an instant, Mana roared.
It was a familiar feeling. It was the feeling that wizards feel when gathering magic… No magic power flowed into me.
Yes, it was like this when wizards in the family absorbed mana on a large scale.
When the surrounding mana enters the wizard’s magic circuit, the quality of the magic circuit it absorbs is so good that it is not satisfied with the mana around it, so the mana from a distance roars and heads toward its calling.
“what… .”
Is it the great wizard?
Has Principal Skaya come to see you already?
I thought about that normally, but the curse that spewed out soon caught me up.
“What… !!”
I feel that the spirit, which had been spewing out curses like momentum until just now, is urgently shouting and gathering curses to create a formula.
bang!!!
The sound gets closer and closer.
The waves of curses and mana also became more intense.
Kwaaang!!!
After a while, a man’s voice was heard along with a roar.
“found.”
