90/156

It was the man in the robe who showed up in the dirt. The mask was crying, but it did not look affectionate. Rather, it feels ridiculous to use clowns and clowns. If I hadn't seen it at this moment, Dalaman would have burst into laughter.

But I couldn't smile right now. Not even a little.

The man walks in without saying a word and faces Dalai Laman.

“Yes, who are you? ”

Dalai Laman asked with a blush face.

“You're different, Marquis. ”

“Who is it? ”

Frey did not feel the need to answer. It was then. The servant next to him leaped to Frey at a tremendous speed.

His teeth were sharply lightened.

‘Demibeast.’

The instantaneous speed was not negligible. However, Frey did not reach a single hand. You don't have to.

Phajijijic

“Turn it off!”

An electric current flowed through the servant's body that ran to Frey.

A lightning barrier. It is the power of Lucas, who was the apostle of Indra in the past. Fray's barrier is not as chaotic as Lucas, so he may be running the current at some point.

However, power alone was more than just Lucas.

The servant's body fell to the ground in black. A scream. Dalai Laman's face becomes so hard that it is no longer possible.

Now we have a good understanding of the situation.

“Hey, do you think you'll be okay with this? ”

“You guys always say the same thing. ”

Frey mutters nonchalantly. Dalaman waves his hand at the knight who came to report.

“What are you doing! We can't cut his throat quickly! ”

“Hi, Hiiq · · · ·. ”

The knight shook his body and drew his sword.

At the same time, a blue current shot out of Fray's apiece pierced his body. He died without making a sound like all the knights he had been through before.

All that's left now is different.

“W-what do you want? ”

Dalaman rolled his eyes. I don't know what kind of power he is, but if he eats it, he can kill himself instantly.

Yet it still lives on. There must be a reason. Anybody, who are you? It is one of only eleven Marquis in the kingdom of Luanoble.

‘There's no easy way to kill yourself. ’

When I think about it, the Dalai Laman's face comes back with a minimum of spare time.

Frey nods.

“What you want. I know.”

“Don't, tell me. I will accept it as much as I can. Instead, I must guarantee my life ─”

Lightning

“Turn it off!”

Dalai Laman screamed. Frey waited until he felt enough pain. Unlike before, it will not be immediate because it has lowered the power of the current.

For a while, Dalai Laman's screams echoed loudly. Throughout his life, he became a voice of fifty. He didn't last much longer than Fray thought. I wanted to stop screaming at some point, but I was screaming with my eyes closed.

There is no hobby of torturing others. I don't even have the pleasure of hearing screams. Frey realizes he did the puffing, but doesn't feel very moved by it.

Jubbuck

He went out of the castle. Then I looked down at the quarry.

“It's over.”

A new Ricky was standing next to him. He was looking down at a slave trapped in a cage.

“What are they going to do? ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Are you going to abandon the kingdom of Luanople like this? ”

Frey looks down at the slaves. I don't see as much hope as dust on my face. Even though the Dalai Laman party is all dead, there is no act of rejoicing. They have already lost their will in life.

Frey put Ricky in charge of them. I don't think he would have saved them in the first place without any thought.

‘If you use warp, I can get you somewhere safe. ’

Then the reason you exercised your divine power to erase the traces of Mana is faded.

Ricky jumped off the castle and landed at the stadium. Then he approached us and drew a knife.

Choke

The swordsmanship that is close to mysticism is precisely what cut us. The slaves who bound themselves were not happy when we were gone. They still stare at Ricky with their dead eyes.

“You are free now. ”

“What is freedom? ”

It was a Demibeast man who opened his mouth in fifty voices. He looked at the bodies next to him and said,

“There was my brother. He became a human trinket, and he died a day ago. It's not just my brother. There are only five of the people who were twenty-five at first. ”

Glug

His eyes shed a tear of blood.

“Tell me, what is freedom? ”

“At least not death. ”

Ricky spits indifferently.

“I know you've lost a lot. You'll have scars that won't be fixed for the rest of your life. ”

“Don't be comforted! ”

A Demibeast man cried out with his eyes open. He knows Ricky is unusual. If he only eats his heart, he can kill himself with one finger.

Still, the anger was not cut off. In the first place, he couldn't afford to see the current situation.

“It's not consolation. ”

“· · · · I'm tired. You said death is not freedom. But for me, it's a long break for us. ”

A man squats. The slaves shook their heads at the same time. Like everyone says they agree with a man's opinion.

Ricky looked around at them and said,

“If you want death, you can do it. I assure you, there won't be any pain. I won't even know what happened. ”

Ricky pulls the knife slowly. His sword shines extraordinarily pale with moonlight.

“But are you satisfied with that? ”

“What do you say? ”

“I have seen countless who are close to you. Those who will cut their own lives in despair. Those who stopped moving forward. Those who gave up.”

“Abandon? Are you saying we gave up? ”

“Isn't that so? ”

Ricky raises his head with an indifferent face.

“I understood them. I don't mean to admit it, but they made their own choices. It's worth respecting, and it's not something a third party would say. But think about the other way around. ”

“On the contrary? ”

“You guys are lucky. Me and that guy happened to be around here, figuring out what you guys were up to, and they had the power to kill all the troops that wanted Marquis Dalai Laman. That's why I was liberated. But who doesn't? ”

His voice grew feverish.

“Some people are harder than you, but they can't let go of the foolishness of life. ”

“To live in thanksgiving. ”

“No.”

Ricky, who was silent for a while, confessed.

“Save them. ”

“Yes? ”

“There are still many like you in this land. There are dozens of camps nearby right now."

The body of the Demibeast man trembled. Not only that. All the slaves who were listening to Ricky were roaming like lightning strikes.

His voice was quiet, but there was something that provoked him to listen.

“It's going to be hard. To be honest, dying here would be a lot easier. So if you are not confident, speak here. I'll let you go painlessly, just like I said. But if you'd listened to me and moved your mind a little bit. ”

Puck!

Ricky puts a knife to the floor.

“You guys be their lucky ones this time. ”

1.

Frey watches the Demibeast men and slaves leave. Before I left, I remembered the look in their eyes.

Anger, mission, and lively eyes. It is clear who made it.

Ricky. This man has set a benchmark against which to live.

“It won't last long. ”

There is no way that Marquis of his country knew that he was doing such a huge slave business in Luanoble. In other words, as Ricky said, the royalty and nobility of this country are mostly seen as rotten.

This is the middle of Luanovle Land, where slaves were freed. Even if there is a guerrilla war in the wilderness between the city and the city, it will soon be overthrown. It takes at least one month to reach the nearest border. The chances of getting out of this country are less than 1%.

I don't think Ricky knows that.

“I know. ”

“And yet you just sent it? You're irresponsible.”

“Because it's theirs. That's not what I'm involved in. ”

Ricky mutters indifferently.

‘I know what you're thinking. ’

I did it honestly. Still, with Ricky for a few months, I became convinced of one idea.

Ricky is completely different from regular demigads. I just had a definite feeling about it in a conversation with a former Demibeast man.

“There are still more camps around here. ”

I said it before I raided this place. Frey murmurs as he looks up at the night sky.

“I have a little time until sunrise. ”

“No, not today. Marquis is dead, but only Sonsari is left. ”

“The fact that Dalai Laman is dead is about to spread. Then you'll be prepared enough. ”

“Of course. At least you won't look defenseless today. They need to be more prepared. ”

“Even so.”

The battle that took place today was a kind of massacre that was also embarrassing to call a battle. Ricky told me to use as much confidence as I could, but if this battle continues, it won't mean much.

“I feel like I'm floating too much in the middle of the kingdom. ”

“Luanoble is openly immobile. I left an illegal place of business in the first place, so if you want to send a punitive force, there's no excuse. Marquis Dalai Laman has been officially retired and has remained in his territory since his retirement. ”

Ricky pointed to where Lupay was.

“It's probably best to attract reinforcements from adjacent cities, but it's not a threat to you. ”

“I see.”

In the first place, I dug up a part that I didn't get to be proud of, which means that even if Frey turned this place into a field, the coping was weak.

Frey thought this place was optimized for clearing the trail of Mana.

“Let's stay in this castle for a month from today. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Frey turns around and looks at the castle. It doesn't make any sense. It's natural that you've wielded all your strength.

If I knew this was going to happen, I would regret smashing it a little.

2.

─ A month passed in no time. Frey crushed the surrounding camps one after the other. They prepared as much as they could and then greeted Frey, but the difference in power was too dramatic in the first place. Moreover, the liberated slaves were increasingly powered and attacked in buckets, making it seem that the enemy's position was also overwhelming.

At the end of the day, he ran away abandoning the camp.

It was just like Ricky said. Luanovl did not send or send reinforcements. Frey was convinced that the Marquis' Party was no longer left on this mountain on the last day.

"Thank you."

A Demibeast man bows his head.

They thought of Frey as a total staunch.

"Where are we going?"

"I intend to go to the Ispania Mountains to the south."

Certainly the closest place here was here. Since it's called Monster Heaven, once you get there, you won't be able to send any more chasers.

"It's not a good place."

"Better than here..... I will repay this grace at any time."

"Wait."

Frey grabbed him.

"What's your name?"

"Beckend."

Beckend turned his back on the horse and did not look back.

Frey looked at the slaves leaving.

“Isn't the meeting coming up soon?"

"Yes."

Ricky's face was very relaxed. I'm sure it'll trigger quite a move right now.

All of Mana's fragrances have been erased and there is nothing more to deal with here.

Frey, who was in doubt, immediately nodded.

"There must be a meeting nearby. ”

“Hmm?”

Ricky looks at Frey with a strange face and gives him a short elasticity.

“Then I forgot to tell you. ”

“What?”

“Here."

Here?

“Where the meeting will take place. · · · · · · Hmm. Wear a mask, Frey."

Why? I didn't even have to ask.

At the end of Ricky's words, the sky suddenly split.
