To Be a Power in the Shadows!

Well, well, didn't you go in a direction that wasn't bad as a result?

You won because of my magic power boost, and I'm supposed to owe it to Black Rose, but could this be useful?

For one thing, it means success.

Everyone in The Black Rose Oath, who dropped Count Ragitta's castle, does post-processing. It seems that Tulpicano was killed in battle, and it looks like Mr. Gordo has become a new leader. I hadn't heard much about it, but Mr. Gordo's explanation says he'll be in touch with the Kings shortly to rendezvous.

That's why I'm postprocessing too.

The night is not yet dawn, and the moon shines over my head.

As I explored it with magic detection, I discovered two signs that I knew something.

The first is on the upper level of the castle. It unleashes a rather disastrous magic...

It's Mr. Violet.

I met a friend in the sanctuary. She's a fantastic ghostly being, and she's disappeared, but she's got a real girlfriend somewhere in this world.

I guess this sign feels like part of Mr. Violet. There are so many people around me right now that I can't get close, I guess I'll go say hi when it gets quiet.

And the second sign was in the basement of the castle.

"What are you doing here?"

I skipped the aftertreatment and snuck into the basement of the castle.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

Epsilon felt a tremendous wave of magic beneath the castle.

"Is this magic...?

Something seems to be going on out there.

Epsilon knows no man but the Lord who releases so much magic. It was just that her Lord could not identify with Epsilon because he altered the fluctuations of magic, and I didn't think that a busy Lord would visit such a peripheral castle.

For example, there is a comparable strength to the Lord, or the possibility of artifacts and natural phenomena.

Either way, it means there's been some big incident on the ground.

"That's not good..."

Epsilon held down a large wound engraved on his chest.

She was infiltrating the Kingdom of Oriana on a Shadow Garden assignment. She was also highly regarded in the country of art as one of the world's leading pianists, easily gathering inside information.

But she infiltrated deep into the royal castle, where she was found by Mordred.

The battle opened with an ambush of Mordred.

The blow that Mordred unleashed deeply tore Epsilon's chest.

Normally, it would have ended with that blow.

But...

"Ugh... without the slime it would have been instant death..."

Her defensive performance was high. Especially since the heart was heavily protected.

Nevertheless, Epsilon, who suffered a complete ambush, was unable to demonstrate his original defense and was seriously injured.

In fact, that blow determined the battle.

The rest became the deployment of Epsilon, who flees in awareness of his disadvantages, and the mode red that follows it. But there was no way Epsilon, seriously injured, could easily escape, and she made a bitter decision.

We detonated the bomb we planted for the plan and blew up part of the castle.

It was Epsilon, who got out of the castle on the blast and shook off the mod red, but the church chaser stubbornly chased her around.

The season was winter, the Kingdom of Oriana snowed everywhere and the escape of Epsilon was difficult. Walk on the snow and you'll have a footprint. In the case of Epsilon, the blood marks and the smell of blood are also......

Even if you put up with the painful wounds and let the distance go, the chaser catches up quickly.

Her health, severely injured, is progressively taken away. And she went on a bet.

We decided to spend some time lurking in Count Ragitta's castle. The lighthouse is dark. I guess you didn't think she was lurking in the castle of a denominational executive. Epsilon was there to buy a few days of time.

But the ground noise that happened earlier was the problem. That much magic. Over time, people and attention will be drawn, and escape will be difficult.

Epsilon had to move quickly.

But there wasn't enough time to heal the wound.

"Ku......"

Mordred's blow was hurting her so deeply it was taking away her strength and magic.

She stands up with her hands on the basement wall.

I walked slowly so the wound wouldn't open - then.

I felt multiple signs approaching from the front.

Slightly late, footsteps approached from behind as well.

"Oh, already..."

It doesn't follow.

Epsilon pulled out the slime sword and moved on.

Before they catch up, we just have to break through.

And meet the enemy.

"If I had come here with a sense of immense magic, would I have escaped to this place?"

Pursuit of the Order.

There are also five of them with two names...

"I can't believe you're giving me five. The Order's free."

"That's all it means to be in danger. How crazy our plan went because of you guys......"

It's an honor.

Slap lightly, but the two names of the Order and their five opponents are troublesome with serious injuries.

The footsteps from behind are steadily approaching.

Epsilon smashed his tongue.
