To Be a Power in the Shadows!

I felt a blunt pain in my head and Doem woke up.

"Ku... here"

The surroundings are dark and you can hear the trees swinging in the wind. It was in the woods.

Doem sits with a big rock on his back.

He has no idea why he's in a place like this.

"I think I woke up."

I heard the boy.

One boy was staring down at Doem.

Dark-haired, black-eyed, mediocre everywhere boy.

I didn't feel any signs.

Listening to his voice and seeing him, he was still, incredibly, blending into the darkness of the night to exist there.

"You... who..."

I try to get up, but my body is heavy and my magic doesn't work out well for some reason.

"I know you. And you know me, too. Remember."

"I'll take you...?

Doem tries to remember as much as possible the face of the person he met once.

The brunette, mediocre boy's face, I did remember seeing it somewhere.

"You... were certainly sitting next to Princess Iris at the Martial Arts Festival"

"Hit, wow"

"Officials of the Kingdom of Midgal... it's going to be an international problem"

He should have been just a mediocre boy at the time. At least it didn't look like he had the courage and strength to kidnap Doem.

So he was wearing a cat, hiding his strength, and targeting Doem. I must have worked out a plan closely and been watching the gap.

I don't know.

The boy smiled thinly.

"What's the purpose?"

"Suppose there was a girl in one place who was about to be unreasonably deprived of her life. Do you think I feel sorry for you?

The brunette boy, staring down at Doem lightly. With black eyes that can't read any emotions.

Doem's flesh somehow didn't move at all.

"Hate?

"No, it's not. A simple question."

"I don't know. You may or may not think"

"I feel sorry for you, for once."

"Ha... so"

"I've made some rules when I kill people, and I've followed them all the time. One of them is the rule that if you kill someone you feel sorry for, try not to kill them."

"Kindness."

"I almost broke that rule earlier. So I'm going to kill you for world peace. If you think about it by world standards, it would be pramai zero or rather positive. I don't care about world peace or anything."

"... what are you talking about"

Is it a joke, or are you making fun of me? Doem looked up at the boy, not knowing what he intended to talk about.

Nothing changed there, my pitch-black eyes staring down at Doem.

"You're a bad guy. I can smell it."

Kung Kun, and the boy snorted in a playful manner.

"Ha... crap"

"But that's why you die."

"You're lying. If you're going to kill me, I'm just killing you. The purpose is money? Or information?

"Half right, half wrong. There's a reason I'm still keeping you alive. You're a great man in the kingdom of Oriana, so I thought you might know something interesting."

"Information or... even torture"

"I'm not interested in torture. I will if I have to, but I don't. You don't have to do that, you're gonna talk to me."

said the boy as if he were sure. When I was sure I would get the future I wanted, I wasn't even suspicious.

It was creepy. You look like just a mediocre boy, and everything you do and say is not mediocre.

Doem had his first fear of the boy at this time.

"What do you mean..."

"My head hurts, my flesh is heavy, and my magic won't work out well. You know why?"

The boy was right. Doem's freedom had been completely deprived, even though he said there was no restraint or trauma whatsoever.

I can't escape or resist.

Fear increased.

"Oh, you did something..."

"I tried pouring magic into your brain miso. freaking out. Then it worked."

That said, the boy gathered the magic of blue-purple in both hands.

"That's why I thought. I thought if I let the magic out again, you'd talk a lot."

Bathybach, magic sounded like a little lightning bolt.

It was a quality magic that Doem had never seen before. Delicate, dense and terribly controlled.

As if to another dimension of magic, Doem was wary.

"Ma, wait, wait, this is torture! Definitely torture!!

"You're rude. This is an experiment. It's science. Your sacrifice may help restore someone with brain death in the future. When you resist, your brain is misogynistic. So calm down."

Both hands of the boy grabbed Doem's head.

"Come on, I'm coming. For world peace and science."

"Ya, stop."

"freaking out"

"Yameeeeeeeeeeee!!

And the blue purple magic stained Doem's consciousness.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

The Doems disappeared and the Doems' forces withdrew their formation overnight.

The Kings marched unimpeded the deserted plains where the Doems' armies disappeared without any obstacles.

No one in the Doems knew where the Doems had disappeared.

The King's man did not even know that Doem had disappeared. So they proceeded vigilantly with the trap.

But there was no trap anywhere.

Finally, the Kings surround the capital of the Kingdom of Oriana and the final showdown begins.

No one could solve the mystery of the disappeared Doem.
