86 – Cats are unfair (1)
After finishing all the stories, the emperor went back to where he was supposed to be without anyone knowing, just like he did when he put on the invisibility cloak again.
Well, no matter how you think about it, that cloak is deceptive. Although there is a restriction that you cannot take any action while using it, the ways to use it are endless.
“Tir~ What shall we do now?”
I was gently stroking Aisha’s snoring under the chin in my arms. What do you really do now Because he arrived at the imperial castle quite early, the day hadn’t gone down yet.
The Emperor asked for help, but even if he did help, he had to think first before moving.
It is a specification to move ignorantly and meet an unwanted ending like in the prologue.
“Let’s start by simplifying the situation.”
“Aeong~”
…Hey, don’t make a funny snort like a cat. It’s so cute that I can’t concentrate. While still half-lying on my chest, holding her body close to me.
At the same time, judging by the way he secretly looked at my reaction, he wondered if he was trying to check my cat fetish. It’s dangerous. Do it later, later
The enemy said he had a replica of the Invisibility Cloak, so we don’t know where to overhear our words. I used the effect of the soul chain to speak to Aisha directly with my soul.
– The first priority must be the eradication of demons.
– The charges against my father-in-law will naturally be resolved once that is resolved.
I nodded slightly.
At first, the fact that his father was detained in a cold prison seemed to drive him crazy, but at this point, the iron bars will rather protect his father.
However, there was one thing that bothered me.
– How to bring the devil out of the dream?
– Well. I do not know either.
Demons have the troublesome ability to freely move between dreams and reality by using the temperament of mana called ‘dreaming’.
To kill a demon parasitic on a human body, simply break the demon’s pattern with a weapon containing ‘dream mana’. However, if the main body descends according to the devil’s plan, it becomes a little annoying.
You have to go directly into the dream unfolded by the devil and defeat it… It’s no different than fighting on the field of an opponent who has expanded the territory.
If you don’t prepare to not be caught in your dreams, you will be dragged into a nightmare and wielded around you.
It is a very tricky enemy to deal with now that you have not learned the unique magic of the Dark Cloud Archwitch.
– Aisha, if it were you, would you be able to win when the main body is summoned?
– Of course you can win. You can’t be my opponent that much.
Then he added a word that cannot be ignored.
– The imperial castle will disappear without leaving a trace.
Aisha’s magic is specialized in fighting giant dragons. Even if you don’t know low-level magic, once you start using your power in earnest, there won’t be any left.
Aisha’s main tactic was to mercilessly use large-scale magic.
Aisha can show her true face only in the cold land where there is no need to consider the surrounding damage.
– Haa… If only I could use mana.
If I can only use mana, demons are no threat. Because among the dragon slaughter there is an excellent ‘Mine’ who can handle demonic power.
If you leave it to him to take care of it and hang out with Aisha, the situation will end on its own. That kind of raw food Simbo is also a summoner’s charm.
However, I can’t go out because of La Crucio’s restrictions. So you have to rely on Aisha.
What’s more, my restrictions will be lifted after two days.
And two days after the Marquis Appointment Ceremony, which is the main quest completion condition.
That said, there is a high possibility that the settlement will happen while I can’t use mana.
I can still use normal skills, not magic. Just like you can use the soul chain even though you can’t use mana.
But all of these are a little ambiguous in terms of performance.
[Skills: Lunatic Soul Lv3, Master’s Respect, Tradition Lv2, Martial Arts (Intermediate), Came to Trade (Hidden), Enchantment (Passive), Soul Chain (Hidden) ]
Looking at the list of normal skills, which were quite shabby compared to magic, I sighed.
The only thing that is useful is martial arts, but since you can’t summon La Crucio, you have to go with bare-handed combat. But I’ve never learned how to punch, so it’s not worth considering.
Of course, tradition and fascination are out of the question. This ‘master’s respect’ is also off topic as he still has no idea what kind of skill it is.
Then, naturally, there are only two skills left. “I’ve come to make a deal” With Lunatic Soul.
[ Lunatic Soul (Lv.3): A privilege given to the Master. The power of the world is concentrated. Not all powers have been released yet. Each time you change your destiny, a new effect is unlocked. (Inactive) ]
[ – You can change the fate of one character. ( 2/3 ) ]
[ – Crescent (Miwol): When using Lunatic Soul, you can return to the point where the world line diverges. ]
[ – Crescent (Delight White): When using Lunatic Soul, you are temporarily given power that transcends limits. ]
[ – The world is dissatisfied with the master who went against the order of the world. ]
‘I’m the one who’s dissatisfied, bastard.’
It looks really useful, but there are only subtle effects that are difficult to use. In the first place, it’s a skill that can only be used to change ‘fate’, so it’s as if it doesn’t exist.
This fate is so arbitrary that it only becomes active under certain circumstances. Normally, Lunatic Soul cannot be used.
I was very lucky when I used it to save Rit Maman in the prologue.
I even found out that the number of destinies that can be changed increases by one each time the level goes up, but I couldn’t figure out the most important level up condition.
‘When I changed the fate of Raminasis, my level rose at just the right moment.’
Also, the effect corresponding to the action I took when using this skill is added.
When I saved Riet Maman, I turned back time.
When Ramina Sis twisted her fate, she gained an overwhelming power to defeat her at the same time as her time retrograde. That’s when I summoned La Crucio.
Now, inevitably, there is only one skill left that I can use. As the name of the skill reminds us of Dormammu, the effect is similar.
[ I’m here to make a deal (hidden): Bondi deals don’t happen all at once. Do your best to achieve what you want. ]
[ – Temporarily freezes the time with the target person. Only conversation is possible, and physical interference is not allowed. (Exceptions may exist depending on Kara’s ability). ]
[ – Memories are maintained, and stats temporarily and randomly drop each time you turn back time. ]
This is the skill I used when I was negotiating with the old dragon. It was very useful at the time. I haven’t used it since, though.
The decrease in stats used in return is recovered on its own after a day or so anyway, so it’s not particularly burdensome now. I can’t use mana anyway.
‘The problem is how to use this.’
It is truly a skill. It’s definitely effective, but there’s really no use for it.
– It would have been nice to have dark clouds.
– That’s right.
I was planning to learn her unique magic at the end of the month anyway, but I didn’t expect that she would encounter demons so quickly.
Where is the ‘dark cloud dagger’ at least? It would have been more difficult without it.
The dagger that only kills demons, given by the emperor, was left to Aisha. Because of La Crucio’s restrictions, I can’t use blades other than him.
– Let’s go to Racard first. Because Professor Luktae must have told me who the culprit was for the replica request.
– Whoa!
Despite her strong response, Aisha showed no sign of moving on top of me.
“Will you step aside?”
“Move it like this.”
Rather, they put their arms around my neck and even hugged me.
This is Hwangseong. No matter how much I can say anything you say, I can take it with all my heart. My father’s charges have not been released yet, but if I walk around the castle holding you, what will people say about me…
“I’m begging you~ Meow~”
Aisha cupped her hands cutely like her cat and rubbed them softly on her cheeks. And then, as if looking at my reaction, I looked up slightly with a look of hopeful anticipation.
Whoa.
“Kyaa!”
I heard flashes.
—–
No matter how often Aisha behaves rudely, she is not really a ignorant woman at all.
I am doing this because I know that I feel better after being certified by the Emperor that my father is innocent and that he is now safe in a comfortable prison setting.
But isn’t there such a thing as the eyes of the people around you? After giving Aisha her princess hug, they teleported to La Card’s office.
From nob le mt l. co m
My father, who was accused of treason at least once in a while, is in prison, and I don’t want rumors of my younger son spreading confidently in the royal castle.
Let such rumors reach the ears of Riet Maman, who is still grieving and not knowing that his father is innocent. As soon as I see the tears falling in Mamang’s eyes, I will explode in guilt from east, west, north, and south.
“Look. Luatir. Teleporting is prohibited within the imperial castle.”
When I suddenly teleported out, Rakkad said to me as if he was condescending.
I guess so. It’s a place where noble blood flows, but it would be difficult if you shine like Hong Gil-dong.
“Sorry.”
“It’s okay. Be careful in the future You will go to the imperial castle more often in the future.”
As a matter of fact, Hilde, who tugged her ugly hair on me, was in charge of escorting La Card. She stares so terribly that it feels like a hole will pierce her chest.
“…How long are you going to stay like that in front of the prince?”
Hilde’s green gaze, which was glaring at me, turned towards Aisha, who was embracing her in my arms before I knew it. From his point of view, this kind of behavior would be disgusting.
He lightly lowered Aisha to the floor. Then, Aisha threw a sharp gaze at Hilde as if very displeased. Hilde wasn’t going to lose either, so she narrowed her eyes and looked straight at her.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Aisha was mad at Hilde for criticizing me, and Hilde didn’t like Aisha?
It’s amazing that you can’t lose even to the Archwitch.
I stopped admiring and looked around and asked Rakard.
“Professor Luctae?”
“Ah, I’m getting some punishment for a while.”
“Making artifact replicas?”
“You already knew that. It’s as you say. Can’t we go over without being punished for creating the artifact without the knowledge of the imperial family?”
He let out a small sigh, then turned his head sideways and rested his chin.
“You already know what I found out this time too. The prince’s face is not worth it.”
“It’s okay. Because I just found out.”
“I see. Anyway… If you need urgent money, just talk. Don’t be unnecessarily timid about strange things.”
According to Rakkad, Luktae was in a situation where he had to take care of his single mother and support his younger siblings, so he was short of money.
So, it is said that she received a request from the duke’s family for a high price. Besides, he couldn’t have refused the ducal family’s request from Lukta’s point of view.
“First of all, we are trying to figure out how we found out the identity of Professor Luctae, who was kept a secret in the imperial family.”
“That means, did you find out from which family the commission was entrusted?”
While Lacard nodded briefly and opened his mouth to answer, I was already anticipating his answer in my head.
Upate Garathroso. Serien’s older brother and the head of the family, he is the one who was possessed by the devil, and the mastermind behind this incident…
“It was Shamilton.”
…All?
What did you just say?
