Episode 68.
Through Epinia, I heard a brief explanation of the summoning magic circle.
“So, you’re saying that the magic within the Life Vessel is the driving force used to activate the magic circle?”
“Right, that’s what you said.”
He said everything was ready.
Ephinia added that all that was left was to prepare for battle.
I looked around at the people who would participate in the battle.
“The Knights of the Holy Empire and the Priests…”
Pastard was nowhere to be seen.
I asked Epinia where Pastar was.
“Because he is the number of the spleen.”
“A secret demand?”
Pastard is the strongest among those gathered.
But what does the number of spleen mean?
“Hiding with stealth magic.”
“A stealth magic?”
“As soon as I find the demon and the game ends, Pastard will come after me.”
A sword master who hides with stealth magic.
It was not reassuring.
“But what are the people of the Holy Empire doing right now?”
The Knights and Priests of the Holy Empire were busy moving.
Amis, who was next to her, explained.
“We are declaring this place a sanctuary.”
“A sanctuary?”
“It is to make a space full of divine power.”
Is this the preparation of those with divine power?
I had a question.
“By the way, will there be any influence on the demonic energy used in the magic circle?”
Magi and divine power are opposite powers.
If this place is filled with divine power, there might be something wrong with the magic circle.
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Amice told me that there is a barrier around the magic circle.
The barrier disappears the moment the devil appears, and even the magic circle is planned to be included in the sanctuary.
“You’re more perfectly prepared than I thought.”
At this level, it is clear that even the strongest demons will not be able to use their power.
Epinia said in a trembling voice.
“Soon…”
“…”
Tears welled up in Epinia’s eyes.
Ephinia, who was living a terminally ill life against her own intentions.
It is now possible to put an end to that life.
“Thank you… Suhar…”
“I just received a request.”
Epinia wiped away her tears and smiled.
It was a smile that warmed me just by looking at it.
“Now slowly…!”
Just in time, the sanctuary declaration of the Holy Empire was also over.
The Sword Master is also hiding somewhere.
Ephinia approached the people near the magic circle.
And after talking about something, I came back.
“I will start now.”
Epinia shouted to everyone.
“The magic circle will be activated soon. Please prepare for battle!”
The Knights of the Holy Empire carried swords and shields, and the Priests carried staffs.
I also pulled out the exorcist sword and finished preparing for battle.
The magic circle started to light up.
A black, dark sphere formed in the center of the magic circle.
And the sphere got bigger and bigger.
“Something is coming!”
Something was coming out of the center of the sphere.
Something like a black beast is protruding.
“Everyone, prepare for battle!”
that’s not the devil
sure
“The Witchbeast…?”
A type of monster that lives in the Demon Realm.
I heard that the strength varies greatly depending on the type of monster.
What came out of the magic circle was a magical beast.
I ran towards the Witchbeast.
“I will deal with you!”
Knights and Priests cannot move within the sanctuary.
Pastard must go after the devil.
When the barrier is dismantled, the magic circle disappears due to the sanctuary.
I had no choice but to do it.
Epinia’s call.
“Hold on a little! Now the devil is sending his stallion instead!”
I dealt with the Demon Beast that came out of the sphere.
one at first.
Gradually, demonic water poured from the sphere.
But it was far from strong.
“Are these guys too weak?”
There’s no way the devil would waste time meaninglessly.
There will always be a purpose.
“no way···?”
A thought came to my mind.
“How long will this magic circle last?”
“Well, maybe thirty minutes?”
I grasped the devil’s intentions.
He must have intended to send only the stallion for thirty minutes.
It was clear that if this continued, the magic circle would be closed in vain.
have to figure out a way
“Ephinia…”
I thought of a way, but it was too risky.
“If I cross that sphere, will there be a demon waiting for me?”
“You… can’t you?”
If you don’t intend to come over, bring it with you.
Epinia urgently shouted.
“That is too dangerous!”
I remembered.
Ephinia’s smile.
The smile of Ephinia, who was deeply moved by the fact that it would soon be over.
Delay any longer, and the devil will come up with some more.
It was clear that the further we went, the more the method would disappear.
‘My intuition is telling me so.’
And this was true.
I threw myself into a sphere.
Lastly, I saw Epinia, who was showing tears.
“I’ll be back with the devil!”
***
An ominous aura prevailed.
It was clear that this place was the realm of demons.
And it was clear that the guy in front was the devil who was playing a game with Ephinia.
He pointed his sword at the devil and said.
“We must be old.”
“This is our second meeting. daring guy. I never thought I would get over there.”
It’s definitely that demon.
“Since you didn’t want to come, I came to pick you up. Are you a book demon?”
The demon of resurrection, the demon of the books that Revive spoke of.
“Oh, the devil of resurrection must have said it. Yes, I am the devil of the book.”
The demon of the book that laughs horribly.
“I am! The demon of the book, Kbuda.”
I suddenly noticed something strange.
There were no demons around.
Are the monsters that crossed the sphere not here?
“Strange. Where is the Witchbeast?”
I thought that if I cut down all the demon beasts, Kubu would be dragged out on its own.
“You have quite a keen eye.”
“…?”
no way.
“Is it a trap…?”
“That is correct, human. Because I’m not a body type like the devil of resurrection.”
Is this a brain parasite?
But there was nothing like a trap.
While I was thinking that, the floor started to glow.
“What is this?”
“hahahahaha, now you will have to play a new game with me!”
“game···?”
What do you mean?
Wasn’t that demon playing a game with Ephinia?
Are you trying to play the game twice?
“I will give you a fleeting moment.”
“stop.”
“If you endure the most painful moment, it is your victory.”
“stop! I have no intention of playing games.”
If you think about what you did to Ephinia, you shouldn’t play games.
“No, you have no choice but to do it. because···.”
“…”
“This game is compulsory!”
Kboo with an ugly smile.
The light from the floor enveloped me and my mind went blank.
And before he lost consciousness, Kevu’s words were heard.
“If you endure at all, I will go to meet Ephinia on my own feet. But if you can’t stand it, your life will now be mine.”
***
I was definitely in the demon realm.
However, the place where I came to my senses was not the demon realm.
It was a room that felt familiar.
It’s noisy outside the room.
I opened the door and tried to leave the room.
“huh···?”
The body is small.
I turned my head and looked in the mirror.
I was there when I was young.
however···.
“At this time…”
A feeling of displeasure began to arise from the depths of my heart.
It’s a feeling I know well, a feeling I’ve been through a lot.
weird feeling.
Realizing that I was an illegitimate child, I returned to the time when I would have distanced myself from Tessiar’s mother.
“uh···?”
The commotion outside the room began to be heard more and more clearly.
“A thousand years bewitched our Count and made him give birth to such a burden.”
“Noble blood mixed with lowly blood, so it’s a big deal.”
“Why don’t we just kill them?”
I’ve obviously never heard anything like this.
But I heard.
It was the words that I heard at the time like hallucinations.
I thought everyone was blaming me.
I thought that there was a feeling of contempt hidden behind the sad eyes.
‘ah···.’
I thought I overcame it.
When I came back to this time, I couldn’t control my emotions.
The hallucinations grow louder.
‘stop···.’
The voices criticizing me grow louder.
The intensity of swearing at me is getting worse.
‘Please stop…’
From nob le mt l. co m
Now even welcome is made.
Faceless people point fingers at me.
‘Please… please stop…’
I was going back to the me at that time.
It feels like my heart is about to collapse.
‘I just want to disappear…’
The moment I was about to give up, a bright light came from one corner of the room.
I turned my gaze to the light.
“Exorcism sword…?”
An exorcism sword that was unlikely to exist was placed in one corner of the room.
And the exorcist sword began to suck me in.
“what···?”
Gradually sucked into the Exorcist Sword.
A soft voice was heard before being completely absorbed by the Exorcism Sword.
“I will always watch over you, Suhar.”
The voice of a young woman he had never heard before.
Then a second voice was heard.
“I love you, Suhar.”
A familiar voice.
It was Tesiar’s mother’s voice.
With that, I was sucked into the exorcism sword.
***
I regained consciousness with a cry.
“Hey, how long are you going to sleep!”
“uh···?”
“No matter how much you do, are you going to sleep like this?”
It was a man with a rough face.
I was going to ask who you are.
“Hey, I have nothing to do, so let’s get some sleep.”
Words came out of my mouth against my will.
“This guy!”
A rough-hewn man swung his fist at me.
But it stopped.
“Cassias! If only you didn’t have telekinesis…”
“Ehe, that’s why you should have been born into a good family.”
Cassias?
that would be my pseudonym
How does that man know?
Besides, nothing was going my way.
But the feeling was right.
‘That telekinesis… that’s what I’m using…’
I didn’t understand it at all.
And in an instant, a full-length mirror appeared in my field of vision.
Black hair and a sword at the waist.
not my face
‘But the sword on my waist…’
It’s definitely an exorcism sword.
no way···.
‘Is this person the owner of the exorcism sword?’
I didn’t understand it at all.
I was forced to play a game with the demon of the book.
My heart was about to break.
But the exorcism sword shone.
‘Is that the memory of the exorcism sword?’
probably sure
It seems that it has passed from my memory to the memory of the exorcism sword.
‘Is it fortunate?’
I don’t know if it’s my own memory, but if it’s someone else’s memory, I don’t have to worry about my heart breaking down.
“Yumma, you said you got it from the swordsmith?”
“Hey, this is very expensive. Because I was begged by my real father several times.”
“The head of the household…?”
The shabby man grinned and smiled.
“He’s a guy who would normally run away, so that’s why he’s staying here.”
“Hey, how did you know? As a condition of receiving this sword, the knights will do chores.”
“Well, yes. Who is this body!”
A shaggy man with pinned shoulders.
Even though it’s not, the big size looks even bigger.
“Aren’t you the leader of the Golden Knights, the proud knights of the Reik family, Captain Alterny!”
Alterny nodded and acted contentedly.
“Yes, yes, you got it right!”
I was momentarily taken aback.
‘Then, does that mean the owner of the Exorcism Sword is Cassias Reik?’
Even if the relationship with me was deep, it was too deep.
Suddenly the scene started to change.
