The battle between Sage Kate and the Degarts began in an instant.

And in an instant, a lot of people decided.

Degart's hired adventurers were quite handy, but that was a general level story, not an enemy of Kate who gained enough strength to be called a wise man.

When the Warriors unlock the granted Magic Sword, they shoot in the magic of Impact from above the chainmail and leather armor.

"Ohhh."

The ribs snap together with the groaning, revulsion, or pounding.

Taking away combat power in an instant, he dealt with the wizards.

When you turn behind your opponent with the magic of Transfer, you see a magical knife on your neck.

I didn't make a powerful blow like the warriors because there are too many sprouts for a wizard.

If you see a powerful blow, you could die just like that.

Try not to kill people.

It is one of the constraints I imposed on myself with a daughter.

I didn't want to kill people as relentlessly as I used to.

When he defeated Degart's subordination in a flowing motion, Degart said "ho."

"You just throw up big language. And I thought I had the movement, the service experience."

"Only once a long time ago. So, what are we gonna do? Still going on? The military magicians are scared when they piss you off."

"Then don't worry. I used to be in the Imperial Army, too. He's got a lot of combat experience."

"I see, that sounds like fun"

With that said, Degart can magic his wand. Looks like you've granted the magic of the Slash Attribute.

Red magic hangs on the wand.

You're willing to kill me.

This grants the magic of Strike Attributes.

A hit attribute wouldn't kill you unless you hit him in the head too.

The blue magic gathered on Kate's wand signaled a duel.

Move them both out at the same time.

First, Degart's wand came to slaughter him.

It's a brilliant fat muscle for a magician. I avoided it, but Degart adds a thrust to the flow. He has focused his attacks on his abdomen, which can cause fatal injuries.

I made sure Degart was willing to kill me. I'm going into serious mode.

Increased the magic in the wand.

When I increased the magic in the wand, I let it go.

A mass of magic is released from the wand.

Degart put up a "fence" to defend it, but that fence crumbles like a glass worker.

Shit, this dies.

I thought Degart switched magic from defense to transfer.

If that decision was delayed for another moment, Degart would have been rendered incapable of combat by one blow.

When he saw the big hole he had made behind him, Degart was so sure.

(Damn, he's an amazing magician. I heard it was the fourth class, is that true?

Degart's rank was the seventh class and the highest among the disciples of the Great Demon Master Conrad.

I used to belong to the Imperial Army once again, and I believed that his strength was a finger fold even for a magician, but does this man mean that he is better than he is?

I didn't want to believe it, but seeing the magic I feel from the man in front of me, I have to make that decision.

It was out of the range of assumptions, such as such a powerful mage cooperating with Al 'l.

Damn, that incompetent sister apprentice makes herself uncomfortable everywhere.

Your strength is far inferior to yours.

You've been a disciple more than yourself.

He joined Conrad the Great Demon Instructor and made him a candidate for succession.

Not more beautiful than me, but more incompetent than me is a woman.

That hurt Degart's feelings, but does the man in front of me hurt me even more?

I can't forgive you, I thought so. Degart decided to use curseless magic.

I won't take my life, I thought so, but that no longer matters.

Stronger than myself, that was all Kate was to die for Degart.

Degart speaks of the magic of Forbidden Enchantment, The Industry Flame of Eternal Robbery, which has been forbidden to use by his master.

It is the finest magic of flame magic. What can be said about this is also limited in the Empire.

Even basalt melts. Temperature blasts envelop the bushy man in front of you.

"Hehe, it's a reward for turning against me. Don't worry. I'll give your bones back to the dirt, and I'll keep your maid and your daughter alive. All I want is this legacy that my master left behind."

When Degart says so, he grips the design document for the gold-creating machine he took from Al earlier.

Bring this home and the master will admit Degart as his own successor.

I didn't doubt that. Now I can be a wise man! That's what I thought and damn laughed, but that laugh froze in an instant.

For a voice was heard from the flames wrapped in the Fire of Eternal Robbery.

"Damn, you're the hardest person to handle a half-way bad guy like you. If you're a scoundrel and you're gonna get your hands on your daughter or Chloe or Al, don't hesitate to bump it."

When Kate said so, letting her body wind up for a while, she put out a tight flame.

"Then, silly, you think my curse magic won't work?

"No, it's working somewhat. A little, my hair burned. I need Chloe to cut it later and make it look good."

"Impossible. That magic is curseless magic. It's impossible if you're not a great sage, like eating curse magic and being intact."

"Then I guess only strength is a great sage. Well, I don't care about that. There's only one more thing I'd like to ask you."

"... what?

"Why do you want to be the heir to the Archmage, Conrad?

Degart looked unexpected but answered honestly.

"Because I deserve it the most. I can't think of any incompetence other than me to succeed Master Conrad."

It is unbearable that incompetence like Al in particular is chosen.

That being said, Degart stares at Al.

Al was also a strong one, lifting his eyebrows and scowling back at his brothers.

When I see it, I'll transfer it to Al and take her monkey grub.

"Well, Al, I hadn't actually heard that yet, but why would you want to be Conrad's successor?

Al, do you want to hear that here now? I got that look on my face, but you answered.

"Regardless, because I want to be a fine magician like my master. The eagle is incompetent, as you can see. But if you get your master's legacy, that might make you stronger. More, it might help the world. And I want to take over the master's will."

"Master's will?

"Yes, my master was trying to make the world better by alchemy. The eagle wants to take over that will. I want to make something that even a wizard like a weasel can do to help the world."

When Kate heard that, convinced that "I see…" she often glanced and began to think.

Is it about three minutes?

Despite being in battle, Kite closes her eyes and doesn't make it slight.

In the meantime, Degart would not have made the offense because he was reminded of the difference in strength in an earlier battle.

wise judgment, but the judgment was rightly rewarded, seems to

Kite summed up her thoughts and nodded, "Yeah," she said.

"Degart, why don't you do this?

"... what?

Degart answers.

"Actually, there are two treasures left over from Conrad."

"Two?

"Oh, yeah. Just now, find Conrad's diary upstairs in this temple. There were two types of research left in this temple."

Kate goes on when she punctuates the words there.

"One is the design document for the gold-making device you have right now. Al also said, it's an incomplete one that needs a kilo of true silver to make a gram of gold. But maybe you could build something more useful based on that blueprint."

…………

"The other is homunculus-related. This is a complete failure that cannot be documented or researched. Maybe, but I can't create homunculus by doing research on it."

"You give me the right to choose?

"Oh."

"Then it is decided. I'll get this blueprint."

Degart grabs the blueprint when he says so.

"Can I ask why?

"I'm a Conrad-like apprentice. I'd rather have a memo of a gold-making device that leads to the future than a homunculus that I can't even make."

"By the way, Degart, do you know how Conrad was doing his homunculus research?

"I know. My teacher used to have a daughter. Although he has already died. I hear the teacher was researching artificial life forms to revive his daughter and revive her in this world."

"Apparently. That's what it said in the diary. Or maybe Conrad became a great sage to see his daughter again. Being a great sage takes research."

"Maybe. I'm incalculable of my master's conspiracy."

"Okay. Then you take the blueprint. We're going to get some Homunculus material."

When Kate said so, Degart looked subtle.

He seems to be overmeasuring Kite's sincerity, but still doesn't seem to be any more of a battle, and he seems happy to be able to monopolize gold smelting materials.

I said this at the end.

"What did you say your name was?

"It's Kite. It's Kite the Mage."

"It's kite...... I'm not saying I owe you. I have no doubt that I am the best disciple. I lost to you, not to Al. I just want you to remember that."

"I know. But the successor is for Conrad to decide. Don't resent whoever's chosen."

When Kate said so, Degart hung the "Awareness" and "Recovery" magic on his people and walked away.

Kite, who sees it, unleashes the Al and Chloe that were tied up.

Chloe is

"Thank you"

Dear Sir, I smiled.

Meanwhile, Al was swelling his cheeks with such expressions as unconvincing.

"Why didn't Mr. Kite spill the Degart one and monopolize his master's treasure?"

Here's what Kate said to Al protesting.

"Conrad wants to leave a legacy to his best disciples, doesn't he? I figured it out in the fight earlier. No matter how much you raise in combat, Degart will have more armaments."

"... but that's true"

Too bad I admit it, Al. I slapped her on the shoulder because she seemed a little cute.

"But taking over the spiritual will is out of the question, it could be you."

"What do you mean?

Kate said this to Al, who asks so strangely.

"It's more evidence than theory. Let's go to another hidden room together."

When I said that, I nodded to Al and Chloe to go upstairs.

My daughter looks up at Kite.

"Are you going to the hidden room I just found?

"That's right. If you look at the temple intervals, there's got to be another secret room next to that one or so."

"Shh, wow. That's what I know."

"I haven't lived long enough for Dada."

With that said, he shook my daughter's hand and led them upstairs to lead.
