247─■■■■ ■■■ ■■■
After Lizzy discovered his obsession, Fersen, who was the most embarrassed, wondered what he was going to do right now. I didn’t know if I should make a decision.
He thought he definitely never gave himself any room for that.
What exactly did Gremory notice?
Although he may have engaged in psychological warfare regarding his possession of goods, he would never have given any indication of his unique ability that would be activated when faced with death.
Bwakak──!
“Big!”
Even as Gremory, who momentarily raises her knees up and shatters her own jawbone as if she had forgotten something, preventing her from even biting her tongue, at this point Fersen realizes her knowledge of her own unique abilities. I decided that she was 100% sure of the information.
No, even if the inferred information is not certain.
It is probably in a similar context.
“Wow…… !”
As the Gremory, which was gradually compressing her diaphragm by exerting force on her legs, which were pressing down on her arms, made it difficult for her to breathe, Ferzen realized that what she was aiming for was her own. It was not difficult to realize that I had fainted.
…… What should I do?
Even if she hadn’t actually broken her jaw, Fersen wouldn’t have done something like biting her tongue.
The situation of facing death and the situation of dying.
The former and the latter had something in common in that they satisfied the triggers of unique abilities, but at the same time, there were clear differences.
Didn’t he already prove that by putting himself to death in order to save Princess Elizabeth in the Kingdom of Lobelium?
In the latter case, there is a very high probability that what will descend is a monster that heals and repairs body defects and wounds.
The precious number of uses of the unique ability, which only had two uses remaining, could not be used to summon a monster that was virtually non-combat specialized.
“Great…… ! Ugh…… !”
Because of this, Ferzen used up her own magical power, which had not yet recovered, to raise the bodies lying nearby.
However, it was impossible to get rid of the Gremory that was pressuring them, as they had high damage and were only ordinary soldiers.
Boo!
“Whoosh!”
The sound of her ribs breaking clearly echoes in her ears from inside.
At the same time, the thick tinnitus that follows suggests that he will soon lose his mind, but there is absolutely no resistance that a warlock who has suffered from magical exhaustion and consumed all his goods can put up against an Auror Knight who has reached his peak. Did not do it.
If only it had been possible in the first place, if only it were possible.
It would be an insult to the natural order of this world.
“Count──!”
However, if you cannot achieve the desired result by providing the cause alone, shouldn’t you get help from others?
That is why humans built relationships, formed relationships, and lived within the boundaries of society.
Hee hee!
Holding his horse’s reins tightly and breaking through the enemies, his bodyguard, led by Prince Raymond, quickly narrowed the distance towards Fersen and Gremory.
However, the enemies also chased after them and made them pay dearly for their sudden action of turning their backs.
At the end, Prince Raymond and the knight are the ones who completely shake off the chase and accelerate.
“Ha.”
And Gremory, who saw that appearance, looked away with a clear sneer.
The intrusion of two knights and an ordinary person was not a variable that was insignificant enough to warrant attention.
No, it is embarrassing to even call it a variable.
In fact, he pushed away the body of the horse that was attacking him by shaking his head.
The swords of the knights that landed couldn’t even make a scratch on her body.
“…… “
Then, suddenly, Gremory focused her gaze as she saw Prince Raymond raising his sword right in front of her with an expression full of determination.
She tried to just ignore it, but deep down she was curious.
I wondered how her expression would be distorted when she was powerless in front of her eyes, unable to do anything, and when the loyal subjects who supported her country were taken away.
She is captured and unable to die at the same time, and what kind of expression will Fersen show when he sees his country being devastated and his precious people being trampled in the ongoing war?
For her, winning the war was like losing her sense of purpose, with no more mountains to climb, so her intense feelings of emptiness and boredom would surge.
The moment of joy that the winner can enjoy from the loser will definitely be sweet, even if it is very short.
Kwaak!
However, the tip of Prince Raymond’s sword, which was raised high and struck down, was never aimed at Gremory.
Rather, it ended up at Ferzen’s neck, which was crushed and on the verge of losing her mind.
No matter how much Fersen had told her in advance to trust her, Prince Raymond had been watching her the whole time, unable to properly concentrate on her battle, fearing that she was just lying to ease her own mind. .
Because of this, he was able to see it with his own two eyes.
Just before Ferzen was subdued by Gremory, she took out her dagger and aimed it at her own heart.
It was an act whose intentions were difficult to understand, but if Ferzen had lied to her in advance to ease her mind, then when she had the opportunity, she sacrificed herself and opened the gate to the underworld. A monster would have descended.
But he didn’t.
In other words, the act itself is a condition for reaching the final bastion.
Of course, someone will have doubts.

If you noticed that, wouldn’t it be much better to give orders to the knights who followed you?
The success rate will be higher if you entrust it to those with the talent of an Auror Knight rather than to an ordinary person.
But Prince Raymond did not think so.
From the perspective of an Auror Knight who has risen to the top, an ordinary person who is on his way to the top is virtually on the same level, so there is a high possibility that someone with ordinary qualities will be caught off guard by stepping forward.
Furthermore, the target is Fersen, a member of Brutein’s bloodline.
No matter how much he gives an order, it is doubtful whether the knights will accept it as an ancient order and carry it out.
Puck──!
Wow!
However, no matter how hard Prince Raymond, who has literally ordinary qualities, tries his best, his actions are all areas where Gremory can react.
For this reason, Gremory instantly kicked up his left foot and tore Prince Raymond’s right arm, which was holding the sword, to pieces.
Even though it was clearly a blow that did not contain much force.
Prince Raymond, who is just an ordinary person, has his right arm completely detached from his body and hovering in the air.
“Big…… ! “Ugh!”
In the process, Prince Raymond felt a sense of self-destruction and disillusionment at his helplessness, even more than his pain.
Suddenly.
Toduk.
Soon, bright red blood trickles down the humerus, which is sticking out in an ugly way, and falls like raindrops on Fersen’s face, who is on the verge of losing consciousness.
Fersen’s eyes, which had been blurry, came into focus for a moment and clearly engraved the miserable sight of Prince Raymond falling forward.
“I, ha…… !”
Fersen’s red eyes are filled with shock and his pupils are dilated.
“Ahahahaha!”
And Gremory felt unbearable pleasure at the sight of Fersen being crushed beneath him.
Why is it so enjoyable to see the servile appearance of a man who pushed himself so hard and acted like his rival?
Moreover, Gremory could not stop laughing when he saw Prince Raymond taking out the dagger hidden in the sleeve of his left arm.
I wonder if he thought he wouldn’t notice that.
Ironically, the cheap Shinpa performance that the two people were showing right in front of her was her best Shinpa performance.
Wow!
Prince Raymond’s left arm, which soon falls forward, is torn like a doll being broken by the hands of a child, and it hovers pitifully in the air before falling backwards.
However, Prince Raymond, who lost both his arms in an instant and fell to the ground, could not help but feel frustrated.
Given the situation, the reason Gremory chose to subdue Fersen rather than end his life was probably because she, like herself, saw through his final bastion.
And the woman he serves is more likely to think that she knows the secret rather than not knowing it.
So, I expected that her half-baked tricks would block all efforts.
The sword that was first used.
It was blocked and she took out her dagger hidden in her sleeve.
Rather, what she was really aiming for was this moment when all her visible struggles were blocked.
“Count…… “
It felt like an earthquake had occurred.
Prince Raymond smiled faintly as he knelt down and looked down at Fersen’s wildly shaking eyes.
“It’s okay for you to be shameless enough…… “
Prince Raymond’s one word, which rang out low and quietly, contained so much meaning.
It also meant that Fersen, who indirectly contributed to the outbreak of this war, should not feel guilty.
When he saw that he was about to face his death, he also told him not to have foolish feelings of self-reproach, blaming it all on himself.
…… It’s like the grace I’ve received from them over a long period of time, from the past to the present.
How can I harbor resentment because of this one mistake and deviation?
His father, who brought him into this world, was an emperor, and his mother was an empress.
In fact, it was Brutein who raised, nurtured, and protected them.
Not only are they not related by blood, but they can be said to be the true royal parents.
And the only thing they could do in return for that loyalty, which did not change over time, was not to accept favor as a right.
Fersen told him not to consider Brutein’s loyalty as a debt that must be repaid someday, but since he was born as a human and not an animal, how could he live by taking it for granted?
I guess that’s why.
Prince Raymond was rather pleased with the mistakes and deviations that Fersen made.
It was a feeling of paying off a debt, but it also seemed like he was gradually no longer tied to the Brutein family.
That is true, no matter how much of a reason there is for the evil deed that completely trampled on a family, a family, and a girl.
The biggest reason for Fersen’s suffering, as he watched from the sidelines, seemed to be based on the fact that it tarnished the history and honor of Brutein and became a stain on the family.
However, he was changing little by little, and eventually he began to suffer not as Brutein’s second son, but as a person named Fersen von Schweig Ruerg.
Not as a Brutein bloodline, but as a human being named Fersen, he sought to pursue happiness.
Yes, when the child grows up, becomes an adult, starts a family, and becomes independent.
Just as parents finally regain their lives, this is Brutein’s twilight after a long period of time.
So, as the imperial grandson of the Ernest Empire, how could he want to be held in their arms until the end even after seeing that?
The reason for their life is not limited to just Brute.
The reason for Brutein’s life is that they do not necessarily have to be members of the imperial family.
Wow!
Finally, Prince Raymond used his molars to pop out the poisoned liquor hidden in his mouth.
It is given to prevent confidential information from being revealed due to the capture of key forces and key personnel and their corpses, but it is not distributed to those who must be brought back through negotiation.
If distribution was made and key personnel were taken hostage, the enemy could have killed them and then announced that they had committed suicide with the poison they had contained.
However, Prince Raymond did not want to be a burden in this war, so he always took his own money and went to the battlefield secretly from others.
‘Now that I think about it…… ‘
If the last resort that Fersen was hiding was related to death, it would have been better to give it to him as well.
Of course, even if Fersen received a distribution, he would not have bothered to take it with him and leave.
If you explode the poison sac in your mouth, the ghost that will descend will be a monster that repairs defects and wounds in your body.
However, Prince Raymond, who did not know that fact, somehow felt relieved that there was a secret that Brutein was hiding from them.
They were always dependable and trustworthy, but……
The extreme perfection created a strange sense of distance and always reminded me of a strict father or mother.
But now I smell a very familiar human scent.
If only I could have had a drink with him without this crisis.
Really, we could have become good friends without any awkwardness.
“Okay…… ! “Wow!”
The poison, which is close to acid, causes a violent reaction when it meets flesh. It soon melts his skin and lower body, mixes with bright red blood, flows out of his shapeless mouth, and falls onto Fersen’s neck.
Because it was right in front of us, it was an area where even Gremory, who was watching with his eyes open, could not react.
Cow!
The part of the monster’s body that protrudes beyond the opening gate of the Underworld clears away the deadly poison that falls.
“Huh!”
In an instant, it attacks the Gremory sitting on Ferzen’s boat.
No, that attack did not reach.
Taaat!
Gremory, who did not ignore the warning bell that his intuition gave him, voluntarily got up and retreated about 7 meters.
Then, behind the huge, trembling tentacles—from the open gate of the Underworld, a woman’s cries, as if she were venting her anger, were heard.
Fortunately, Gremory, who had lost her hearing, could not hear it, but the other soldiers screamed and collapsed in place when they heard the cry.
And then their convulsing stomachs slowly swell, and as they explode, small black goats crawl out from inside them and eat their dying bodies like grass.
Kwasik!
But before long, all the black goats met death.
It is not that he was killed by someone’s hand, but that the providence of the world never allowed that interference.
In fact, the gate to the Underworld that was open behind Fersen, and the name plate indicating the number of floors connected to it, was rising steeply as if it were broken.
And Gremory, who was watching it, swallowed without realizing it and straightened his trembling body.
That’s because she thought that Fersen had made a deal with the monster on the third floor in advance and set the situation and conditions for his descent.
Kik Geek!
But fortunately, no matter how hard the monster beyond struggled, it could not crawl out to this world.
Wiggle!
Rather, a scene unfolds where even the huge tentacles sticking out are sucked into the gate of the underworld.
Kud!
Procrastination!
However, the huge tentacle resisted the force and began giving birth to a strange creature in its place.
Then, the name plate indicating the number of floors from the gate of the underworld fell exponentially, eventually showing the 3rd floor.
Meee!
The door closes, leaving behind an ugly monster that does not match the bleating of a sheep at all.
