The wise man returns

“Yes, I'm glad to see you're both healthy. ”

Duke Rudens greets you as he sweeps around Hespea and Randolph.

‘I don't particularly feel any different. It looks like they've brought one each. ’

The knights who were forming a defensive camp next to you secretly whisper.

They were the Duke's finest knights.

If they did not feel wise, it was okay to assume that there was no one else.

“Good. I'll give you time to confess. Did anyone else bring in the other guy? ”

When Duke Rudens asks, they shake their heads to the sides, as promised.

It was consistent with the reports of the articles. The duc had his appetite.

“I see... So these are the people you chose. ”

Duke Rudens, who oversees Hespea, opens his mouth wide.

“Oh, it's not the ball, Azan. I haven't seen you since two years ago. You're still fixing it.”

“The Duke is just as he was. It's an honor to remember you. ”

The two ducs greeted each other lightly. At that moment, Duke Azan's eyes tremble.

Surprisingly, the appearance of Duc Rudens, a mere commoner, looked as refined as Duke Azan, the sodmaster.

Though the old body remained as it was given to the tempest of time, the vigor in it was no different from that of the 20s.

‘Is this the power of dark magic? I thought Duke Rudens was playing a dangerous prank on the Dark Mana, and that's why. ’

Duke Azan's eyes gleam.

“Duke Asan is here, Hespea. I think he's got some strength. ”

“I'm flattered. I'm an unmanned man. How can I compare to Duc Rudens?" ”

After shaking hands, Duc Rudens turns to face Randolph this time.

The Duke's face quickly distorted when he saw the appearance of the contest.

“This... didn't you bring the wrong starter? Randolph. I'll give you one last chance, if that's the case. I have a little time left...”

“... No. Father, you may proceed. ”

The Duke of Rudens, who heard Randolph's answer, glances over the green-haired boy's body while maintaining a dazzling eye.

It looked like a normal little boy, though it seemed odd and chic.

‘... a fool. ’

It was an important position to elect a representative of the Duke of Rudens for the imperial palace.

The disappointment of Duc Rudens was overwhelming because he didn't know it was going to happen even here.

"You can't. ’

The duc who abandoned the Sovereign Union smiled at his mouth and said the essence.

“Then it's time for me to tell you the purpose of bringing you here. ”

“I know. Dad.”

Hephaea, who was watching next to you, grumbles.

It was expected from the beginning when I heard that only the entrants and candidate nobles would gather.

There are three members in the family, but only one seat is available. Competition was inevitable, of course.

“You're referring to the person who will lead the Duke's campaign, aren't you? You, me, and Randolph. ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

After speaking, Duke Rudens claps his hands.

At the next moment, the knights unilaterally raise their swords to the sky.

Papa-pot! Papa-paper job!!

The light from the tip of the sword comes together in one place.

The radiance was enormous enough that the entire darkened basement room would be illuminated in an instant.

When the light came on, it was a roaring giant made of lightning, a roaring giant.

“This is...”

“The Spirit of Lightning. I used Mana to collect for over a decade, cut the summoned creature to pieces and sealed it in the military organ. ”

“I can't...”

The more Mana you enter, the stronger the spirit appears.

If you summoned a Spirit using Mana you've collected for decades, its abilities are simply excellent. It was more than that.

And even that attribute is lightning bolt! It is a family that is difficult to deal with throughout the attributes of light, darkness, and nature.

“Oh dear... Are you prepared? ”

“Hmmm...”

- Whoa!!!

The bound spirit of lightning thunders.

It was devastating enough for the entire locker room to rumble.

“Well...”

Duke Azan bit his lip.

This was the amount of Mana in the crying, so I didn't have to see the power of the main body.

‘A difficult opponent. ’

The fact that it is a non-existent spirit has made the duc even more guilty of strangulation.

He's had numerous beheadings before, but this opponent doesn't have Bell's flesh.

“Yes. Then don't mention it. Let's get started.”

Duke Rudens, who summoned the Spirit of Lightning, steps back, and the knights recite the command in unison.

“Move, move. Strike down our enemies as we see them. ”

Grumgh!

A single roaring lightning spirit extends one arm towards Duke Azan and the starting boy.

It was spectacular for an enormous amount of charge to rotate like a vortex.

Duke Azan straightened up, raising his aura blades as he felt his whole body fluffy.

It was then.

[Get lost.]

The green-haired starter boy opened his mouth for the first time.

At the same time, something amazing happened.

The spirit that was about to wield its divine power has vanished without a sign.

“Karaoke!”

“Huff!”

At the next moment, the knights who drew their swords vomited blood together.

When the spirit that was being controlled by the spirit disappeared, it couldn't withstand the headwinds.

“Huh?"

“W-what!! ”

Neither Duke Azan, who had raised the order, nor Duke Rudens, who was relaxed, were able to conceal their embarrassment.

It was a miracle I'd never heard of, destroying enough spirits to make Duke Azan nervous in one word.

Randolph, standing still, looks around at everyone else and opens his mouth.

“Didn't I tell you? You're free to proceed. ”

“That... that child...”

“Dear Hespia, Step back, it's dangerous. ”

Duke Azan stands in the way of the shivering Hespea.

However, the boy walks out into the middle of the locker room without giving Duke Azan any attention.

What he saw was Duke Rudens, the head of this family.

“Is that it? Randolph?”

“... No. There is still one person left. ”

Randolph shakes his head as he turns to bury his head.

The boy tastes again, and there's only one left. He looks back at Duke Azan.

“... who are you? ”

Duke Azan opens his mouth, his gaze stiffened.

His body gives off an unprecedented amount of ferocity.

The Orb Blade is the strongest sword in the northern continent.

“Chuen.”

The boy who was watching the glowing sword tasted lightly.

Then, he opened his lips and said.

[Kneel. Lay down your sword.]

At that moment, Duke Asan thought the sky was crushing him.

Qasim!

Kneeling down, the duc's affection rolls across the floor like a kneecap.

“Ah, Duke Azan...? ”

Hephaea's voice trembles at the sight of the duc for the first time.

But Duke Azan had no access to her voice.

The order from the boy's mouth just blocked the nerves of the entire body.

“Khh... khh...”

The green-haired boy, in front of Duke Azan, shaking his head, said with a meaningful smile.

“What are you doing? We're not done yet. ”

“Now, wait a minute! ”

Hephaea shouts in haste at the boy picking up the duc's sword.

But the boy looked at her strangely.

“What is it? Randolph. Can I kill her? ”

“No. She is a member of the family and is not included in the removal. ”

“Okay. Let's deal with this one then. ”

After finishing the horse, the boy twists his sword hand lightly.

With both eyes open, there is blood on the crown of Duke Azan's eye.

At this rate... we will die! ’

The horror of death seemed to have driven the duc mad.

Even though I tried to get up, my legs didn't move like they were someone else's bodies from the start.

I liked the idea of defeat and death approaching.

But I didn't want to fight and die like a bug, driven by the power of a single word.

“Ugh... Ugh... Ugh!! ”

I've gathered all of Mana on my legs, but this crushing force cannot be pushed away.

The Duke of Rudens, who was watching all this, felt the bridge getting damp.

Everything in the intestine was obedient to the will of just one person.

An overwhelming presence that cannot be denied.

A powerful command of power that no mortal man could have brought him close to his frustration.

“... monsters... monsters...”

Duke Rudens finally let it go.

Meanwhile, the boy smiled brightly at Duke Asan.

It was the smile of a child who knew nothing.

At that moment, Duke Asan realized.

That boy was watching all of us right now.

like a child pinning an ant or a moth to it and watching it.

As soon as he realizes that, the boy's arm shadow covers Duke Asan's entire body.

“No! Eeeeeeee!!! ”

Hespia's screams fill the entire locker room.

At the same time, the sword that had gone up and down was swarming.

* * *

Balin and Evelyn left Hwang Sung returned to the inn where they had rented a room.

After registering, there was no reason to be there, and there was nothing good about being there.

“Well, here comes the morning formal. ”

As soon as I got back, the chef made today's breakfast special.

The menu was a light dinner with salad in Omrise topped with spicy ketchup.

Evelyn jumps to her seat like lightning as soon as she sees you on the table.

Balin nods without even knowing it.

The food at this inn was charming.

‘I heard it's a hidden gourmet place, but its reputation is not wrong. Thanks, guys. ’

Balin sits with a short thank you to the passing soldiers in her head.

I saw rice, vegetables, meat, etc. well stir-fried under the red ketchup that was released on the yellow egg.

Balin laughed at the dishes that were drooling.

“How did you know? Have you ever been to the Imperial family before? I never imagined I'd be able to eat such delicious dishes in a place like this. ”

“I heard that too. I have some people I know. ”

“Ah… Representative Leven? ”

In Evelyn's question, Balin looks at her, placing his spoon.

Evelyn shakes her hand, slightly bewildered by the unexpected response.

“Oh, no. No, I've seen Representative Leven come to the tower a few times before. It's rare for a priest and a wizard to hang out...”

“Hmmm... By the way, Representative Leven must be here. ”

Obviously, she said she was helping other nobles move around, so it's not strange for her to stay in the Imperial Court now.

I couldn't be more annoying to Balin moving the golem.

‘Even if your Divine Power is weak to attack, if you spread the shock with such an evil punch, it might affect the Spell Book itself. That's a little tricky… "

Golem's Spell Book can't be purchased by selling ten castles.

Golems are not called Class A artifacts for no reason.

The truth is, I'm anxious to put it in front of Leven without any definite protection.

I needed to prepare for that.
