176 – The End of the Hunt
#One
Four people stood in front of the demon who had become a corpse.
Sadly, Purpur passed away without leaving any evidence.
I tried to capture the members of the church, but Purpur ate them all.
Still, demon corpses are a good resource, so taking them will make a big difference.
Manus checked the safety of personnel.
Except for Kenain’s shield, which was slightly damaged, everything is fine.
A perfect victory without a single small wound.
Manus said lightly.
“It was nothing. let’s go.”
“yes. Confucius.”
Squeak-.
Wei severed the demon’s head and put it into subspace.
And Manus took the emblem of the blue lion he found at the entrance of the ruins.
not even stupid
If you want to hide the fact that it is a cooperative relationship, do it properly.
Well, if it was based on a game, I could fully admit this laxity.
After all, the Acre family is just an extra that appeared at the beginning of the game.
Nothing about the church or Eresis had come out yet.
“What is the purpose of the Church?”
“You must be using the devil to profit. Beyond that, I know nothing.”
“I need to do a thorough investigation. It’s like setting up a base.”
Wei built up his senses as a secretary and started drawing.
He had to report on what happened here, and it was his job to help the family head decide.
Caesar’s influence will grow little by little.
Manus instinctively felt Caesar’s power grow.
Is it not satisfied with a small principality and intends to increase its power?
Or will you strengthen your internal stability and create the strongest family that no one can surpass?
Everything will be decided by Laves, the head of the household and father.
Manus was very little interested in the family’s progress.
It’s still only a small amount, but it’s probably different depending on how much the church is agitated.
“How was the battle?”
“It’s obvious. Although he is a master, the truth is that Earl Acre’s forces cannot defeat Caesar.”
We’ll find out if Wei’s words are true or not.
I came out of the dark ruins and came out to the desert where bright light was pouring.
Manus looked at the ruins for a moment, now in ruins.
After all, it would be better to cut off the buds.
Before departing, Manus used magic to completely bury the ruins.
Make sure to bury it so that it can never be used again, so that troublesome things won’t happen later.
The appearance of it collapsing, raising a lot of sand dust, seemed to represent the downfall of demons.
“It’s over.”
“I can’t use it here anymore. Well done. Confucius.”
“Now let’s go to end the war.”
“yes!”
It was time to check how the family was cooking the count.
#2
The heat of war was hot.
Under the scorching sun, cheers and blood spurted out like a fountain.
To overcome fear, to kill others, to scare those in front of them, they shouted.
The count slashed his enemies madly while emitting a bluish-white aura.
Each time his sword shone, Caesar’s soldiers disappeared one by one.
Even so, there was a limit to the range that his sword could block.
It’s been a long time since the knights were annihilated by 6th class magic.
In an isolated situation, when Caesar’s knights clung to him and kept him in check, his feet were tied up.
“Duke Caesar! Let’s fight fair and square! Rabeth!”
“His Excellency, a duel with a master class warrior? Are you insane?”
“Be quiet and keep your feet tied. You are a valuable prisoner.”
“These bastards!”
Aura Blade was fierce.
However, Caesar was not without a Master.
duchy.
An enormous amount of manpower is required to support the duke’s family.
The sword of Caesar and the vassal of the family, Nick.
A person who has trained his sword for 40 years to receive the name Caesar.
Although his skills may be inferior to that of Count Acre, the knights he led were all filled with monsters.
Even if it was impossible to kill him, it was possible to kill time.
‘Caesar. Was it to this extent?’
He waited anxiously for support.
Caesar far exceeded expectations.
I desperately felt why it was called one of the pillars of the empire.
Do you feel like saying it over and over again?
The Earl of Acre was feeling the might of Caesar every second and every minute.
No matter how much I emphasized it, it didn’t go overboard.
I wanted to grab the church by the collar right away and tell them to stop right away and turn back time right away.
The situation where they had no choice but to wait for the church with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw was so hopeless.
“Earl of Acre. Are you waiting for the Order?”
It was a familiar voice.
Hearing the contents, I wanted to grab my chilled heart.
platform.
Is that word the story that needs to come out here?
The Count calmly turned his head and looked at the figure that had appeared on the hill.
three.
One of them had a very familiar look and voice.
A wizard who couldn’t be so confident.
He was a direct descendant of Caesar, who proudly showed himself to be a nobleman.
It was probably because of him that his beloved subordinate did not return.
“What about this? The worm-like church you’ve been waiting for is already gone.”
“… … what?”
Wei opened a subspace with Bianyang.
Space opened, and the head of a giant deer rolled across the desert.
Furfur’s head, which had been knocked down by the Count’s feet at the foot of the hill.
His complexion gradually turned pale.
Manus looked at the count and thought a lot.
What the hell did you think of a reckless number because you were so desperate?
What was the fall of the famous count family, who had nothing to envy?
“count. Why did you abandon your mission?”
“… … .”
The words stuck like wedges, and the Count was unable to say anything.
A feeling of regret came over me.
Among human emotions, the moment you feel regret, you cannot stop thinking negatively.
Those who move forward have many feelings instead of regret.
Manus continued talking.
He didn’t want his allies’ power to suffer either.
We must conserve our power now so that we can prepare for the future.
“Leave the sword. The hand prepared by the count is over.”
“You’re late anyway. Confucius.”
A bluish-white-light aura emanated from the count’s sword.
He has only one goal.
It was Manus, who was barely within the range of his Master.
A beam of light flew towards Manus so fast that no one could react.
[Confucius!]
‘Leave it.’
The wriggling shadow returned.
Aden, who was in the shadow of Manus, stopped responding.
If you face him head-on, Aden will not be able to compete with the Count.
In a fleeting moment, I didn’t even know how to communicate.
However, Manus’ intention was clearly conveyed.
At the same time, the count’s beloved sword, Emilia, pierced Manus’ chest.
Blood poured out of someone’s mouth.
“… … Whoops.”
“You are making such a foolish judgment. count.”
[Counter: Exgo]
A skill that reflects an attack that leads to a fatal wound only once.
The attack that could have driven Manus to death went straight to the count.
And even to the Count, who was already in a state of disrepair.
Earl of Acre delivered the cleanest and finest blow he had ever lived.
A stab that the same master, Caesar Nick, couldn’t react to, and Aden couldn’t completely block it either.
It was an attack that a weak body like Manus could not dare to handle.
His skills were amazing and he could shake the laws of this world.
“How… … west.”
“Didn’t you think you wouldn’t even compare like this?”
“Huh, that’s right. I have already… … .”
The count’s eyes lost their light.
It seemed that the shock came in an instant due to the intense shock of the moment.
Silence lingered.
As long as the Count is dead, isn’t the war meaningless?
said Manus.
“Get your supplies and declare the war over.”
“yes! Confucius!”
Manus walked toward his father, Rabeth, in the distance.
Soon, a loud cry covered the battlefield.
The war ended more quickly than expected.
With Caesar’s complete victory.

“I don’t know what to say, that you captured the count.”
“Precisely, it is self-destruction.”
“He is a master. It must have been because there was something I didn’t know about that made it self-destruct through its power.”
Rabeth looked at Manus and said.
I had no intention of blaming my son.
He turned to look at Way and Kenine.
Two people who look full of emotions.
Two people who were strict even within Caesar had such a bright expression on their faces.
16 years old.
Manus was flying around like a butterfly spreading its wings out of a cocoon.
As a father, he was happy, but as a family head, he was troubled.
No way, I didn’t know that Manus would make a superior achievement than the other two children.
how do i do this
He would definitely choose freedom over principality.
Rabeth stared blankly at his son, then turned his head.
“Good job. I’ll clean up after myself, so take a break.”
“All right.”
Manus nodded, greeted his father, and turned around.
It’s been a week and a half since I came here.
You should finish your work and hurry up to prepare for the midterm exams.
Before that, don’t forget to receive compensation.

‘oh.’
I don’t know anything else, but it’s a mindset skill.
A very rewarding reward has arrived.
Wouldn’t it be like learning all the passive skills?
The skill slot has also increased by one, so you should choose wisely.
I had something in mind.
After learning 6th class magic, he caught a glimpse of 6th class knowledge.
Then, what if you learn [Square Casting]?
Now that it is a skill slot that is slowly remaining, I was thinking of filling one with something I could learn quickly.

Above all, you will be able to acquire magical knowledge.
Now the real reward remains.
It can’t be a truly thrilling moment.
‘Search, mindset within 150 years.’
He began his search with a trembling heart.
Then, a starry sky unfolded.
There were so many thoughts that Manus had to think about seriously.
And, among them, there were a few things that caught Manus’ eyes.
