Chapter 131
late that night
The door to the room where Xian was staying as a guest opened quietly without knocking, and Milian stepped inside.
Basically, very rude behavior.
She didn’t care at all and looked for Xi’an in the dark room without making a sound and rolling her eyes.
“… … You are at peace.”
Muttering as if he didn’t like it somehow, Milian headed towards the bed.
He already knew from the other servants that Xian went to bed at this time.
There was no sign of leaving.
then… … .
“I don’t have any particular grudge, but I don’t know if it will bother me in the future.”
It was the moment when he was about to spread his prosthetic hand and stick it toward the head of the bed.
“Have no grudges? uh? I feel quite resentment in that action. New maid.”
A voice from somewhere else, not from the bed.
The moment he reacts in surprise, he feels the unique glow that can be seen when the magic circle is activated.
Come to think of it, there was information that Xian learned how to engrave magic formulas on objects.
At the same time as the thought passed through Milian’s head.
The magic circle lit up all at once.
“… … glare.”
It is a simple glow.
1 circle basic magic light.
However, at least 50 of them were tightly packed in the room.
Even with her eyes closed, Milian gritted her teeth at the sensation of white light penetrating from the inside of her eyelids.
“First of all, since we are guests, our policy is to keep the room clean. … … If you have any complaints, let’s go out and talk.”
The impact of being kicked in the back hits Milian with the sound of a window opening.
At the same time, something grabbed her by the scruff of her neck and threw her out the window.
Milian landed in the garden outside with her eyes closed.
“You are doing something violent. … … Did you forget that the mansion is on the 3rd floor? customer?”
“You treat me like a guest and talk like that. Besides, you weren’t actually hurt.”
Similarly, Xian, who had jumped out of the window, spoke in an annoyed tone.
The raid failed.
However, rather than dissatisfied with that fact, Milian raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.
As if I’m glad that my thoughts matched.
“It would be a hindrance, too. customer!”
Without hiding it any longer, he reveals his hostility towards Xian.
* * *
He was certain that Milian would attack.
Since he was the boss of Chapter 5 of the main scenario, he knew most of the information through the game.
Then it’s not clear how to act.
It was only natural that I wasn’t in a good mood.
“Oh, it doesn’t seem like it’s been long since I heard from Duke Lioleit that he wouldn’t attack me directly.”
“This is an arbitrary act on my part. customer.”
“arbitrariness… … . Well, you’re not too contemplative to listen to that uncle.”
At least for the Milian I know, it makes no sense to work for the Duke of Liolet so calmly.
‘Her disposition is hatred and treason.’
In particular, he must be a person who is driven by a grudge against the Duke of Lioleit.
Even though she is a friend from the past, I thought she was working as Elcia’s maid.
“Is the maid’s salary that good?”
“Are you familiar with me? You speak in a strange way that you know everything.”
“No, there is not. Let’s pretend there isn’t.”
“… … .”
Suspicious eyes are fixed on me. There is no need to explain. Let them think freely.
“Continue with what I said earlier. What do you mean?”
“I thought it would be a hindrance to Lady Elcia. I was just about to deal with it on my own.”
“Oh, that’s bloody.”
It seems that Milian defined me as an enemy from the beginning.
“Did I do anything I wanted?”
“It’s not like that, but personally, I don’t like customers.”
For personal reasons anyway.
“Sian, it seems that you interfered with the power of the young lady… … It’s a little on the nerves.”
“strength… … . Yes, that’s it.”
I arbitrarily got rid of the control skill planted in her in order to skip most of Elcia Reoleit’s capture story.
‘The purpose is roughly grasped… … .’
Apparently, the reason why Milian, the boss of chapter 5, started acting at this point was because of the influence of my actions.
That much would be certain.
It’s still too early to decide what to do.
‘I’m sure he’s not trying to do anything good.’
feeling rather than theory.
‘Cause I get a hint of malice from her.
At least there wasn’t much of a gap between her malice as portrayed in the game and how you actually felt it.
It is not different.
“Then the surprise attack failed, what are you going to do now? New maid.”
“It’s a bit cumbersome, but let’s try to handle it ourselves.”
It seems to keep fighting.
The sound of something like gears engaging in Millian’s prosthetic arm can be heard.
A bloody metal sound mixed with murderous intent.
But I yawn.
“okay? That’s right. Emily.”
He clenched his hands.
A signal to my familiar who is already waiting.
“It’s a shame that you’re targeting our Xi’an in the middle of the night. Shall I give you a little soul?”
Emily emerged from the air and stretched out her magic like a whip, aiming for the top of Milian’s head.
“Familiar… … . Yes, there were demons too.”
Milian didn’t even turn his head and raised his prosthetic hand to block Magi’s whip that Emily wielded.
Caang!
“Oh my, that’s tough. that arm.”
“Because it will be difficult if it breaks!”
It seemed like he was trying to grab onto Emily’s Magi Whip and pull it back.
Upon being caught, Emily unhesitatingly disconnects Margie’s whip.
“It is simple.”
“Looks like you haven’t seen much of a demon.”
While I was distracted, I cast the Bone Spear and shot it.
The strength of the prosthetic arm alone will not be able to easily stop it.
‘It’s the boss of Chapter 5, but Milian’s combat power won’t be a big threat at this point.’
Milian was the boss of Chapter 5 of the main scenario, and it was clear that the maid in front of her was herself.
However, it is only in that scenario that she exerts her power as the boss in Chapter 5.
Now she is just a human with steel arms and a half mask.
Well, it seems that martial arts have been trained a little, so it’s strong, but… … .
‘At least I won’t be able to compete with students from the Imperial Academy.’
But I had no intention of blindly trusting the information I knew.
I feel a sense of incongruity.
‘I’m not an idiot who doesn’t know the difference in strength.’
Despite recognizing the goal I shot, Milian.
smile lightly
A strange light lingers even in the eye sockets of her half-mask.
‘… … no way?’
At the moment of suspicion, a rush of flame from Emily hits my consciousness in my head.
(Avoid immediately.)
Avoid without asking.
At that moment, the flying goal is instantly reduced to ashes, and a black wave sweeps over the place where I was.
“The Phenomenon of the Disintegration of Matter.”
There is only one skill that can do that.
A unique skill of the Lyole family.
doomsday blood.
Waves of unique magical power that it evokes.
“Milian… … Are you using this skill?”
The reason I was surprised was not different.
At least as far as I know, Milian has never used this power in the game.
In the first place, it is a unique skill of the Riolate family.
Also, Milian is not a clan that inherits the blood of the duchy. So there was no way I could use it.
“indeed… … . Has that changed?”
The period of activity has changed and for some reason, the unique specifications of the character Milian have also changed.
“What tricks did you do?”
“You don’t usually teach that kind of thing, do you?”
hahahaha
The only ones who talk about their secrets are the third-rate villains who are intoxicated with their own style.
“Even if you don’t listen, you can roughly guess.”
Perhaps the secret is that prosthetic arm.
When Milian brushes off his prosthetic arm, something leaks out through a gap in it.
black ash.
What can be said to be the unique trace of that destruction skill.
As the ashes are poured into the garden, the grass and soil are consumed.
“What was in it? Do you have any secrets that allow you to use powers that you can’t possibly use?”
“… … Your head is working fine. It’s also threatening. customer.”
It seems to be the correct answer.
Hostility grows more prevalent.
I can feel the intention to deal with me in any way, and I feel sad about it.
‘Seeing that no one is coming out, it must have been secretly set up to shield sound.’
What should I do?
I thought about it for a short time.
Even though I showed off my unexpected ability, the possibility of me defeating Milian?
high. No, it is absolutely possible.
‘But after defeating it, it seems like something else is going to happen… … .’
I want to act with a little more understanding of the situation.
But judging from Milian’s hostility right now, I don’t think he’ll give you that kind of leeway.
“… … I can’t help it.”
I sigh heavily.
Release the demonic spirit that was determined and preserved.
“If you want to die like that, I’ll do it for you. Milian. … … I must have seemed quite complacent.”
“… … .”
Millian’s words decreased.
It must be that he can’t afford to say anything.
Instead, Milian puts out a prosthetic arm and shoots out black waves.
“The secret trick of the Liolet family? That’s funny. If so, it’s a fake imitated by an expedient.”
“The bluff… … .”
“It’s not a bluff. You, your bottom line has already been revealed.”
I have already figured out the basics of the river.
Snorting, I cast several dark spells to defend myself.
Summons an arm of mud and freezes a wall of black ice behind it.
Although the waves penetrated after breaking them.
“That’s it.”
They are blocked and scattered by the demonic curtain that I have additionally opened.
“… … !!”
A sense of silent astonishment.
However, before she can open her mouth, a black flame bullet explodes in front of her at close range and bounces off Milian.
“Why doesn’t it work? That output is weak.”
With just one look, the weaknesses were immediately apparent.
“The power of that skill is related to the output of its own magic power.”
The blood wave of the end disintegrates all matter and mana.
It is no exception, even if it is the body of a demon made of magical power.
but.
“If you are weak, there is a limit to the number you can penetrate.”
If I deliberately collide with several magics and spread the remaining remnants with my magic and sweep them away, the defense is not that difficult.
(Do you know that the knack for doing that is special?)
Well, it might be possible because I am.
“I’m sorry. If it wasn’t for me, it would have been a threatening enough weapon.”
It’s like the opponent ruined it because it was me.
I glanced at Milian, who stood up in pain.
Due to the impact, the mask that covered half of Milian’s face cracked and fell off.
“… … This is unexpected.”
What was revealed was the carbonized skin.
“You’re not surprised by the look on my face.”
“Because I guessed roughly.”
It was just a fact I knew.
I have no reason to say otherwise, and I have no desire to ridicule.
“Now that it has come to this, I will end it here. Milian.”
Opportunity to deal with the boss in Chapter 5 of the main scenario.
No matter what happens later, it will be better than letting the guy who was targeting me go right away.
It was time to draw conclusions and try to cast additional magic.
“… … huh?”
The atmosphere that had been weighed down at best was broken by what I just sensed.
Right after I noticed, something fell around me.
An item in the form of a ball the size of a fist.
Familiar. Maybe that… … .
“smoke shell?”
An unbelievable amount of smoke emanates from within the marble.
An item that increases the chance of escape in the game.
throwing this away.
(Sian, this older sister didn’t do it.)
‘know. Whoever throws this… … .’
The person immediately pops into my head without thinking about it.
At the same time, someone grabs the hem of my shoulder and pulls it.
“… … Please come this way.”
“… … .”
I didn’t object and walked out of the spot.
It’s like I’ve been sabotaging my chance to deal with Milian, but I figured there must be a reason.
It was because he thought that following Raylin’s words was the correct answer.
“So what are you doing? Mr. Raylin?”
“I’ll tell you why after we get out of here.”
For some reason, the one who took me and ran away was Raylin, Elcia’s original servant.
Come to think of it, this person, Milian, didn’t show up after he appeared.
