Episode 113 Afterword (3)
Until you reach the end of the long hallway.
The Marquis of Asizu’s flattery continued without a moment’s pause.
Marquis Luke gave hints and rebuked him from time to time, but Marquis Assis was not one to give in to such things.
In the first place, due to the gentle nature of Marquis Luke, even if he tried to insult him, he could hardly do so.
In the end, Marquis Luke, who was not used to being flattered, backed down first.
“… … Don’t you have any balls? Well, cheer up. If that’s how you survive, I’ll respect it. but.”
Marquis Luke said, squeezing Marquis Asiz’s shoulders strongly.
“Remember that there are always eyes watching, Marquis Asizu.”
After speaking, Marquis Luke disappeared in an instant.
The Marquis of Asizu was left alone at the end of the hallway.
“Tsk.”
I couldn’t help but click my tongue. Because what Marquis Luke said was true.
After driving out the Leicester family and taking on the position of a new pillar, he was not only kept in check by other nobles, but too many eyes were placed on him.
Because of this, it is not easy to move around.
‘Well, that’s enough. ‘Because it’s important to be in the position of a pillar.’
There were many small and large disturbances, but the important thing was that the pillar was occupied.
It is safe to say that the plan to ascend to the position of emperor was accelerated by 50 years.
‘Lucid family… … What a great family. But that’s only for now.’
Marquis Asiz had no intention of destroying the Lucid family.
When your family ascends to the position of emperor, the family that will be more loyal than anyone else will be the Lucid family.
That noble family couldn’t do that?
No, you will have no choice but to follow yourself.
‘Marquis Luke, I know you made a deal with the devil.’
It was clear that this information was obtained at a high price.
The problem is that I don’t know what the deal is.
Moreover, if you have made a deal with the devil, it will be evident on the outside and inside.
But there was no such trace at all.
‘If only I could find out what Marquis Luke’s deal with the devil was… … .’
You won’t be able to dare attack yourself.
All they can do is swear allegiance.
Wow-.
Marquis Asiz clenched his fists.
I want to be friends, but I have no choice but to stay away due to the power structure.
The truly pathetic Lucid family.
‘You and your family’s descendants will bow at the feet of our family.’
The feeling of ascending to the position of emperor would be good, but the feeling of subjugating the noble Lucid family would be just as great.
In the first place, he would challenge for the throne only after two or three generations, so the only thing he could enjoy was bringing the Lucid family to its knees.
How much pleasure and sense of conquest would you feel if you saw them kneeling in a line in front of you?
‘… … ‘You’re so excited.’
After adjusting my clothes, I calmly reviewed what had happened a moment ago.
Demon raids, awards, priest dispatches, noble councils, and… … .
‘Dwenor.’
Who would have thought that that incompetent writer would receive a prize, a 7th place prize at that.
I thought this was a dream.
‘Could it be that you tricked me?’
Until last year, he was a Dwener who was very active and destroyed everything he touched.
As a result, Elester was dispatched under the pretext of taking a break.
He was in the process of planting people from his side little by little into the Ministry of Magic where there was a gap.
But it wasn’t enough to leave behind a rare and famous story, he turned the child who sacrificed himself into a hero.
How can you save students who are in danger due to a demonic attack?
If you just look at what’s listed, isn’t he an incredibly talented person?
‘Did he show his true colors after hiding for a year?’
The Marquis of Asizu thought for a moment and shook his head.
No, that can’t be true.
I already knew that he was incompetent the first time I saw him.
Conversation, knowledge, words and actions, etc.
It was safe to say that he was an example of an incompetent person.
I can’t believe he’s performing like that.
I had a hard time understanding how things were going.
‘I don’t like it.’
As mentioned earlier, after becoming a pillar, more eyes are watching him.
Dwenor could not be reached.
‘There is no need for words that cannot be controlled… … .’
The Marquis of Asizu was fiddling with the card of dismissal in his mind.
He quickly shook off that thought.
‘Well, it would be like a cow backing away and catching a mouse.’
The luck of an incompetent fly. I decided to think about it that way.
‘Because I haven’t lost anything. The grand plan is going well… … There is no need to fire him right now.’
However, the Marquis of Asizu only realized this later.
The very fact that I had the name Dwenor in my head.
Something went wrong, his plan started to go wrong.
That was the ‘starting point’.
* * *
“omg!”
The whole surroundings are full of darkness. Although I was in a hurry, I looked around.
Because I have to run away. Because I have to run away from the devil.
“Huh… … Huh… … .”
But no matter how much I looked around, I couldn’t see the devil.
It was strange. Vines’ green eye glow.
It was clearly right in front of me.
“… … .”
As a result of calmly looking around, I was able to figure out what was going on.
It is dawn now, and this is the infirmary.
I had a nightmare and woke up.
That’s it.
Aside from the fact that my entire body was wet and wet with sweat, there was nothing unusual about it.
“Hehe, I’m in trouble.”
I got my emotions under control in an instant.
This is because the [Mental Defense] skill demonstrated its power.
One surprising thing here!
The [Mental Defense] skill blocks illusions and protects the mind.
That power cannot be exercised in dreams.
Wow, amazing. You make me feel the emotion of fear. thank you so much.
‘If you’re going to do this, please let me apply it in my dreams too! ‘Damn the system!’
I looked around carefully.
Rodelin, Alex, Raymon, Euridia, and finally Luna, who was sleeping while scratching her stomach.
Three days had passed since the Vineth attack, and we were living in the infirmary.
‘Because I came into contact with a devil, and a 4th level devil at that.’
The investigation into what happened that day was an investigation, but it also had to be confirmed to see if anyone had been taken over by the devil.
In life-threatening situations, there are more people than you might think who make contracts with the devil to save their lives.
Since it is an unfair contract led by the devil, it is natural that it will not end well.
Because of that, we had to stay in the infirmary.
Although class and exercise times were excluded, instructors followed us and monitored us even then.
‘Well, today is the last day,’
Priests, teachers, and even administrators dispatched from surrounding fiefdoms.
After a long period of checking, it was confirmed that none of us had fallen prey to the devil’s trick.
As soon as the day dawns, you return to your normal daily life.
Still, weren’t you happy spending three days with the main cast members?
Well, it was good to see a lot of faces. but… … .
‘Nothing happened.’
Luna sometimes came over to my bed and fell asleep while hugging me.
Is it true that the rumors about us are being fueled even more by the children of the Euridia faction who saw that?
Other than that, there was nothing much to do.
‘Because there were watchers attached.’
Party 1 members, including Rodelin.
There are probably a lot of things you want to say to me, but there are also a lot of things you want to ask me.
I have plenty of excuses prepared, so there is nothing to worry about.
Rather, the problem is the other side.
A window with moonlight shining down. There, I fell into deep thought as I felt the cool breeze.
‘It was a murderous ending.’
It’s also a bad ending where everyone except the player is killed.
If this were a game, it would have had an ending like that.
‘Attack of Vines. The trigger may be… … When you conquer the devil’s side in Chapter 1.’
The Four Heavenly Kings Risvelt sends Vines to the academy and destroys the resources the player has accumulated so far.
A valuable resource called ‘party member’.
This may be one of the measures to control balance.
[Imitation of God] is a very deceptive skill.
‘Even if you get it in Chapter 3, you can use your fraudulent power to advance to the final chapter… … I guess I was expecting it to be even worse than that in Chapter 1.’
A trap set by the production crew. I survived by avoiding that.
Why did we survive even though it was our first time on this route?
Because I’m a stagnant person?
no.
‘I was lucky.’
He put his hands together in front of his face and lamented lowly.
I thought about it for three days, but this is the conclusion I came to.
I survived purely because of luck.
An artifact received from Charon.
An artifact stolen from Dyke.
The 9th Holy Sword awakened at the moment of crisis.
Leger’s arrow attack.
My decision to use [Demon Slave].
Rewriting artifacts.
During the Devil’s Faction incident, Rodelin’s family was used to restore Luther’s honor.
Because of that, Lucia had to take a long walk to get here.
What if even one of these didn’t come true?
‘Everyone died except me… … .’
Images of children dying horrible deaths continued to haunt me.
If it weren’t for [Mental Defense], I might have vomited.
I was soaked in early morning emotions and thought about various things, but as expected, there was only one conclusion.
‘Becoming stronger.’
You must become strong at all costs.
The situation where one more of Risvelt’s demons was killed.
Although the Academy’s security has become stronger, we cannot be sure that there will not be another attack.
So you have to become strong. Whatever it takes.
‘Information window.’
While slowly scrolling, I was able to find what I was looking for.
[Demon Blood: A]
You can feel the magic energy.
Penalty received due to opponent’s magic -50%.
Magical skill effect +25%.
Divine skill effect –25%.
I looked at the skill and muttered to myself.
‘I will use the skill level up points for the Demon’s Blood skill.’
A reward obtained after clearing the quest to kill a hundred demon beasts in an ant cave.
Skill level up points.
When I declared that I would use it, light emanated from the information window.
I closed my eyes and blocked out the light.
Well, because my eyes are narrowed, that’s what other people would see.
After a while, an information window appeared before my eyes.
[‘Blood of the Demon’ skill has been promoted to S rank.]
[Demon Blood: S]
You can feel the magic energy.
Penalty received due to opponent’s magic -100%.
Magical skill effect +50%.
Divine skill effect –25%.
It was not an impulsive act committed in the early morning emotions.
This is the conclusion I came to after thinking about it for three days.
‘There will be more encounters with demons in the future.’
Low-level devils are a problem, but the penalty you receive when facing a high-level devil is beyond imagination.
There were times when stats decreased, skill grades decreased, status abnormalities occurred, and even levels decreased.
‘In the case of Vines, there was a damage reduction penalty.’
This is one of the reasons why Vines endured our attacks with his whole body.
It was partly because I faced Vines when my level was low, but also because the penalty from Magi was significant.
Less damage was done to Vines.
‘But reducing the penalty by 100%… … .’
It meant ‘complete immunity’ to penalties imposed by the devil.
The effects of potions and buffs received from priests will be reduced by half, but this is well worth taking.
Next thing I do… … .
‘I guess I’ll have to tweak the plan a bit.’
I felt like I needed to change my priorities.
Future power is important, but immediate power had to be strengthened.
And a little while ago, I was able to recall the method.
A way to easily strengthen your party and improve the second half at the same time.
as soon as.
It is the recruitment of a new colleague.
