217 – 208.The subordinates are too competent-6
The way back to the Mage Tower after finishing the transport mission.
I was returning home with a smile and a lighter heart than usual.
It would have been gloomy if it had ended with finding out that the Ancient Eye didn’t work on certain magic tools.
However, good news was waiting for me on the front line, which was my destination.
‘Jack is dead.’
A concise and bold report by Frieden.
I was delighted to hear that one of the pesky Archmages had been slain by the enemy.
I was a bit disappointed, however, as it was the fact that there were people of that level among the people of the Red Scales.
Until we learn the true identity of the person who killed Jack.
‘The person who killed Jack knew the owner.’
In the report following Frieden, I asked about some characteristics, and I quickly realized that the true identity of the powerful person was Rin.
Before leaving for the Magic Tower, she was faithfully fulfilling the mission she had entrusted to Rin.
Become a mercenary, and on the day the war breaks out, stand on the side of the red scales and break the momentum of the mage tower.
I asked even though I knew it would be a very arduous process.
As a result, Rin not only broke the Mage Tower’s momentum, but also took care of Jack, who I couldn’t control.
I produced the best results by completing even the parts I did not direct.
At some point, she was dubbed the Magic Slayer and became a deterrent for wizards.
Indeed, my heart couldn’t help but feel magnificent.
“I never had to worry.”
How can I not be happy to hear that my proud and beloved person is working hard for me?
After everything is over, I look forward to the days when I live happily with my lovers.
“King!”
“I have already arrived. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Wow! Panting!”
The way back was pleasant thanks to the people who were in the way and Arin being sent back first.
Chaos also seemed satisfied with being able to walk freely through the woods for the first time in a long time.
We all returned to Fail, satisfied.
I passed through the streets of a town that was still distracted by the war and entered the research center.
Returning to its original form, Chaos shook off the leaves clinging to its body and entered my shadow.
I called the name of the lich who was guarding the lab while I was gone.
“Hades!”
However, the inside of the laboratory was very quiet.
Is Hades going out for a while?
Normally, she would have come out to meet me before I even called her name, but I couldn’t see her.
“That’s strange.”
A strange noise came from the warehouse inside the laboratory, considering that there were no people there.
Less, less.
A sound like bones clashing against each other, my steps had no choice but to head towards the warehouse.
The closer we got, the clearer the sound became.
Curiosity made my legs move quickly, and as soon as I grabbed the handle, it made me open the door.
Clap-!
The door unlocked, revealing an interior view.
The last time I saw it, it was an empty warehouse.
But now it was full of iron bars and chains, reminiscent of a prison.
When I turned my gaze to the source of the sound, a strange sight unfolded.
Four old men tied to chairs wearing shaggy helmets made of skulls.
In front of them was a pillar of bone, with a purple liquid dripping from the top.
The old people wriggled their tongues as if possessed by this purple liquid.
It was like seeing a seriously ill drug addict.
“Wait, what about that guy?”
I noticed it belatedly, but there were also familiar faces.
If my memory is not wrong, he must have been the second elder of the Mage Tower.
Why is he acting like this after being dragged by Hades?
I found the answer sooner or later.
“My lord, are you back?”
The cheerful voice of Hades came from behind.
He renovated the warehouse of the research center at will, and kidnapped and imprisoned the elderly.
The fact that he was once a demon army without blood or tears touched me greatly.
“Greetings aside, can you explain what this is doing?”
“Brainwashing in progress.”
“Brainwashing? To Shoguth’s cell?”
“Yes, my lord has finished his research, so I have used it appropriately.”
Shorgus cells all contain acid, but if only that part is extracted, it becomes an excellent pain reliever.
The Shogus cells injected into the body manipulate the nervous system to eliminate pain.
However, like conventional medicines, this also turns into poison if consumed in large quantities.
The swollen Shogus cells become unable to perform detailed work, stimulating the entire nerve cell.
Consumers feel extreme pleasure and cannot get out of it.
The result of that dependence was the elderly who were tied up.
“I first made the second elder into a drug addict, and then used him as bait to attract other elders as well. All those currently tied up are the elders of the Mage Tower!”
“For some reason, I thought it would be so, but I never thought it would be real… ….”
“If you catch fish with earthworms, shouldn’t you use the fish as bait to catch fish? We got it easily by taking advantage of the friendship among the elders.”
“That makes sense.”
“Anyway, while the lord was away, the elders were made into depraved people who would give up their liver and gallbladder as long as they could get medicine. I think you can seize the magic tower at will, lord..”
My plan was to make the Archmages rebel against the Elders of the Mage Tower.
But one step ahead, Hades put the elders under my control.
The Archmage was dominated by all but one.
In fact, if there were no Mage Tower owner, I would become the real power of the Mage Tower.
“…… Can I use the magic tower as I please?”
“Of course!”
“Children! Bring your tools!”
Finally, the time has come to destroy the magic tower in this world.

“Okay! Success!”
A man with his fists clenched for joy.
Carwin, who normally acts as if everything is a nuisance, showed more passion than anyone else when it comes to making his magic tools.
Even now, he felt the joy of seeing the new magic tool born in his hand.
His appearance was like his father welcoming a newborn baby.
“With this magical tool, the game of war will change! It’s time to tell the world the greatness of my magical tools… !”
Carwyn ran out of the room hugging the magic tool.
I wanted to show off to my colleagues who helped me with the production as soon as possible.
Even if it wasn’t so, he announced that he would hold a fair today, so he ran straight to the auditorium.
A place where magic tools are evaluated. I will show you my new magic tools and receive praise from my colleagues.
Looking forward to that moment, he opened the door leading to the podium in the auditorium.
“Kill the wizard, rape the magic tools!”
“What is this… ?”
It was a burning auditorium that greeted Carwin, who came with a smile and a magic tool.
The fellow creators who were waiting for him were turned into cold corpses, chairs, tables, and tents were burning in real time, and precious magic tools were licked with tongues or put into holes in the body, becoming dirty.
The unbelievable sight made Carwyn’s pupils dilate, and he finally howled until his vocal chords were torn.
“No Eh Eh Eh!!”
Finally, he reached the point where he had his eyes poked out, and his eyesight and voice were ruined.
This incident was later called the Magic Tool Rape Incident, and it spread widely to future generations.
“I found it! I was here.”
While the auditorium was on fire, Bern and Hades were rummaging around in Carwin’s private room.
He wasn’t aware of what was going on in the auditorium and was just brushing it off.
Berne, who had recently had a taste for stealing, put Carwin’s magic tool into the subspace without feeling any remorse.

In the meantime, he took out the crystal ball of Hades, proclaiming that he had finally recaptured it, and was proud of it.
“Hades, take it here!”
“Thank you, lord. But unfortunately, this is a replica.”
“Ah, yes… ?”
I thought I had it back, but when I returned it saying it was a fake, I was embarrassed.
At the moment they said that they lost money because they were happy for nothing. The figure reflected through the crystal ball came into his eyes.
It was none other than Arasia, a character created by the mage lord to earn money.
I realized that unlike the real thing, the imitation product projects the opponent by fixing Arasia.
As expected, compared to the artifacts created by Hades, the performance was far inferior, but the function to transmit to the world was perfectly reproduced.
“Anyone can become Arasia with this crystal ball…….”
Bern smiles bitterly, thinking that he is a virtuber in the fantasy world.
There was an ingenious idea that passed through my mind.
“Hades.”
“Why is that?”
“Could you possibly add a new person to the crystal ball?”
“Even if it’s a fake, it’s possible if I put a little bit of work into it. In case the lord is interested in broadcasting… !”
“It’s not like that. I just want to give candy to the owner of the mage tower in a different way!”
“In what way?”
“Title name: Arasia, the demon of everyone who gets raped by the wealthy magic tower owner’s grandfather.”
“Could it be that the lord is a character created in the image of the lord of the mage tower… ?”
“Shall we film a live AV with someone else’s character?”
“Very good!”
They were two people who could be called evil themselves.
