Episode 44.
The person in the uniform of the investigation team who spoke to me was visibly embarrassed.
I decided to capture him alive.
“What are you talking about? I am a member of the investigation team.”
“…”
It’s a lie.
I remember all the faces of the investigators.
“Then come with me to Lord Theor.”
“I would love that too!”
The camouflaged investigators meekly led the way.
He looks so confident. I wondered if I was really wrong.
“…”
A disguised investigator muttering in front.
Then I started to feel strange.
I felt like something was being forced into my head.
“Stop right now.”
I took out my exorcism sword and pointed it at the undercover investigator’s neck.
A silent undercover investigator.
The camouflage investigator turned around and looked at me with an expression that he didn’t know anything about.
“What are you talking about?”
“f*ck the bullsh*t. How did you do it?”
It was a strange power. It won’t be magic.
“Anyway, do you remember me now?”
“What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about all of a sudden? I am afraid to go to Sir Deor.”
The undercover investigators were again visibly flustered.
Suddenly, the camouflaged surveyor grabbed the boat and collapsed.
“aaah, it’s a boat.”
“You’re putting on a live show.”
As I approached the fallen man, he swung a dagger at me.
I turned and dodged lightly.
“I’ve never seen an attack like this before.”
“sh*t! Why doesn’t it work?”
“As expected, that strange feeling was your fault.”
Apparently, this guy had the ability to charm people.
“I thought my power wouldn’t work on an ordinary human.”
ordinary human?

No way… this guy…
“Are you a demon?”
“Tsk, don’t compare yourself to such a filthy race. I am human. He is also a human born of noble aristocratic blood.”
How on earth can a human have such power… Wait.
“They use strange powers without using mana…”
“Huh! You’re not guilty to figure that out!”
“It’s just because I’m used to it.”
I threw the exorcism sword into the air. Then, the camouflage investigator was visibly embarrassed.
“You guys too…? Then why are you disturbing us?”
“Hindrance? I don’t know what you mean. Where the hell did you hide the villagers!”
A camouflage investigator who ponders for a moment.
“There’s no way I can tell you, right?”
At those words, I decapitated the camouflaged investigator with a sword floating in the air.
“…”
I thought about being captured, but it was impossible.
Unless there was a way to stop the strange force, the people there could become enemies.
“Is that mountain after all?”
The undercover investigators must have had a reason for trying to stop me.
However, the camouflage investigator said it was us. The enemy is not alone.
Apparently, it was necessary to take Deor and the others with him.
“I’ll have to go back to the inn first.”
On my way back to the inn, I felt that the direction the inn was in was noisy.
I hurriedly ran to the inn.
‘Could it be that the fellows of the guy in disguise are…!’
But it went differently from my worries.
“Why am I here!”
“Mr. Matt, what are you doing all of a sudden!”
“I must go quickly.”
It seems that the camouflaged investigators used their abilities on Met as well.
He regained his senses only after the camouflage investigator died.
As soon as I entered the inn, I shouted out loud.
“Everyone stop for a second!”
Everyone was looking at me.
“Hey Mr. Matt? No, is that Mr. Matt?”
“Yes, that’s right. But why am I here? Our villagers are in danger.”
“What do you mean dangerous?”
The words that came out of Met’s mouth were amazing.
Only two people were responsible for this devastation.
“It was like normal. However, the eyes of the villagers were opened and they gathered in the center of the village. I thought it suspicious and was secretly watching.”
“okay.”
“Then two people came and suddenly everyone disappeared. It’s like using teleportation magic.”
Sir Deor, who had been listening quietly by the side, shouted.
“It is a lie. Obviously there is no sign of magic!”
I calmed Lord Deor.
“Let’s keep talking.”
“Where everyone disappeared, only one person remained. And I was secretly going undercover with the intention of catching him.”
From nob le mt l. co m
Not thinking of running away from that situation, but thinking of holding on. He was a stupid young man. isn’t that courageous?
“Perhaps by luck, he came to where I was hiding. And I have no memory. When I came to my senses, it was here.”
Apparently, that person is an undercover investigator I met.
But why was there only one left? What is certain is that the camouflage investigators must have had the ability to manipulate minds.
If so, it is clear that the remaining one is a transfer class ability that is thought to be teleportation.
Lord Deor came up to me and said.
“Do you believe me?”
“in fact···.”
I told you what happened out of town.
The story of an undercover investigator trying to invade the mind without spending mana.
The undercover investigators also told me that they tried to stop me from going to the mountain.
“okay. But I just can’t believe it.”
I nodded.
“Of course you would. But let’s see.”
I decided to use my abilities to add persuasion to my words.
I floated everything except people.
Everyone except me and Patrick were shocked.
“I got this ability from a certain ruin, but it seems there is a group of people with this ability.”
“…I still can’t believe it, but seeing it like this, I can’t help but believe it.”
And I told Lord Deor to prepare for battle.
At least one if you go to the mountains. There will be people with transfer-type abilities.
Patrick came over to me.
“As expected, he couldn’t be captured alive, right?”
“yes.”
If possible, it should be done at once.
“Honestly, I’d like to pack a small group and go, but…”
The enemy may not be the only one.
“Are the villagers okay?”
Patrick’s voice trembled. I guess I’m worried.
“Don’t worry. If you see that they won’t let me go to the mountains, I’ll still be fine.”
“yes. I hope so.”
Patrick looked at the mat.
“Because there won’t be another person like me.”

Thanks to the rapid preparation of the investigation team, less time was consumed.
I said to Sir Deor.
“As I said, it will be very dangerous. Because the opponent uses a mysterious power.”
“You don’t have to worry. It’s easy if you think it’s magic you’ve never seen before.”
Sir Deor, fortunately, did not appear to be very nervous.
I spoke to Sir Deor again.
“I think it would be best to wait here until the scout arrives.”
It would be better than rummaging through the mountains with a large number of people.
Deor nodded his head in agreement.
And soon the scouts came down.
“Captain Deor, the reconnaissance is complete.”
“Where have you been?”
A scout drew a simple map.
There is a cave just before the top of the mountain, and he said he felt a lot of people there.
“Um… have you scouted all the way inside?”
“It was quite noisy.”
Apparently, the spirit of the villagers must have returned because I caught the camouflage investigator.
It was necessary to hurry.
“I think we should go in soon!”
“yes? Didn’t you say it was dangerous to act in haste?”
The number of villagers will be quite large. When the mind was in control, it must have been quiet and easy to manage.
But now I’m back to my senses. What kind of enemy will be used against them who have returned to their senses?
“As an example, some may have already died. We must hurry.”
Lord Deor finally nodded.
I climbed the mountain without a break. And I saw the cave the scout said.
Lord Deor looked at the scout and said.
“It is quiet.”
“It wasn’t like this when I came.”
It seems that they quietly made it with a few people as examples.
I put my index finger on my mouth and signaled to go in quietly.
Lord Deor nodded and the entire investigation team slowly infiltrated the cave.
‘It’s deeper than I thought.’
In addition, there was a branch, so the number of people needed to be divided.
To be honest, I’m fine with myself, but the rest is different.
I’ve said that it’s good to move Patrick and Sir Theor together.
“Half for me and Patrick. The rest follow Hans.”
Patrick and Sir Theor’s party left first.
I took the rest and hit the road.
It seemed that this road was where the villagers were.
“I hear a lot of breathing.”
And at the end of the road, as I thought, the villagers were tied up.
For some reason, the eyes of the villagers were empty.
‘Could there be another person controlling the mind?’
Carefully approached the villagers.
When I looked at the villagers, they were all chewing on something.
I forcibly opened the mouths of the villagers and took out what they were chewing on.
“Uhhhhh.”
Then the townsfolk came to their senses.
I ordered the investigation team to take out what was in the mouths of the villagers.
I also forgot to keep quiet.
“Who are you?”
“This is an investigation team dispatched from Jordan to rescue you.”
Villagers suddenly shed tears.
“I just thought I was going to die.”
“I’ll release them all, so let’s go back. It is dangerous here.”
I led the villagers outside. Then, leaving a few members of the investigation team behind, we went back in.
“Please, it shouldn’t be a big deal.”
If there is no one at the place I went, it means that the enemy has gathered on the other side.
“You seem to be fighting.”
It looks like he’s still alive.
I ran fast And I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the situation unfolding in front of me.
“So many?”
I wasn’t surprised because there were so many enemies.
There were more people than I thought who used special powers like me. Of course, each of them had their own power.
Perhaps because of that, the investigators were having a hard time.
“The villagers have been rescued!”
I cried out loud on purpose. All attention turned to me.
And in an instant, I felt a presence behind me.
‘Could it be that a transition sequence is used…?’
He immediately turned around and swung his sword.
Then I saw the red-haired man disappear again in embarrassment.
“Oh, you seem to be more skilled than I thought to be aware of my attacks.”
A man with red hair appeared in front of him before he knew it.
Perhaps that red-haired man was the leader.
I said looking at him.
“Why did you do this?”
“Are you talking about kidnapping villagers?”
“Yes!”
The red-haired man smiled eerily.
“Would you believe it if it was to summon the demons…?”
“…”
I immediately glared at Patrick.
Patrick’s words became seeds.
Patrick lowers his head as if he has nothing to say.
“Hey, how do you call the demons? None of the black magicians could summon the demons!”
Calling through Medlock would have been unknown.
“Yes, we know everything. It’s about time.”
“What is time?”
“What is it, it’s time for the demons to come.”
What is this? The villagers apparently sent them out.
“What are you talking about, that face. Pretty good to see. We weren’t trying to summon the demons by sacrificing the villagers.”
“then···?”
“It’s enough to call the demons. Now, look! This is the Demon.”
A huge black hole appeared in front of the red-haired man.
Then, a beast with horns on the head of a livestock… a monster that is better to be called a devil began to appear.
