Episode 145 45. Take full responsibility (3)

5.

Veil looked at Charon, shivering.

It felt like bugs were crawling all over my body. No, they were actually crawling.

The pain of a blood vessel being torn.

The pain was so excruciating that it made my eyes dizzy.

“Ugh, ugh.”

It was painful.

It was so painful that I wanted to bite my tongue right then and there.

It was hard to even figure out where things went wrong.

Caron Reston, how did Iza know about the Aguichung and how did he track down the infected?

I couldn’t figure out anything.

The instep hit by a sword?

The pain felt there was nothing compared to the pain felt elsewhere.

It was such a painful experience that I thought I would faint, but ironically, I couldn’t faint because of the pain.

In the midst of that terrible pain, Charon’s voice seeped into my ears.

“If you want to faint, faint all you want. Even if you do faint, I’ll wake you up again.”

A life so intense that it’s eerie.

A tremendous amount of murderous intent emanated from the young man before my eyes.

It was a murderous intent that even knights would fear. It was a murderous intent that a wizard, especially one who had already been subdued, could not possibly endure.

“If you’re going to keep talking nonsense about being a victim, you’d better give up in advance. I know a lot about the female worms. The host of a female worm can’t be a victim. It would be better if… …you’re a middle manager, right? Right?”

Veil noticed that Caron had considerable knowledge of the Aguchung.

It was unbelievable.

Nowadays, knowledge about Aguichung is extremely lacking.

If you remember from 50 years ago, you might know, but this wasn’t information that a seventeen-year-old would know.

Because the information was erased and concealed to that extent.

‘I must die.’

If it had come to this point, I would have had to choose suicide.

Because it would be less painful that way.

Fortunately, I had a self-destruct spell cast on me for this situation.

Although I was in a situation where I couldn’t even properly recite the spell due to the pain, I took this into consideration and prepared accordingly.

If you snap your fingers, you will be free from pain.

So Veil pulled out all his strength and slowly moved his fingers.

But just then,

Crunch-!

Charon swung the guillotine, instantly cutting off both of Veil’s hands.

“Are you trying to make a vow? Hey, you shouldn’t think of dying so easily. That bastard professor is going to blow himself up in front of his students. What a punk.”

Bam.

Veil’s two hands fell to the floor, but no blood gushed out.

Because Charon blocked the cut through Pluto.

That wasn’t a consideration for the veil.

“Wouldn’t it be a problem if the larvae escape through the cut area?”

It was just an action born of genuine malice, wanting the larvae to inflict more pain on Veil.

But Caron couldn’t help but realize that his actions just now were a bit reckless.

The location was not good.

This is the stage where the students are watching.

There were too many eyes watching to do anything with peace of mind. In fact, several students had already lost consciousness as soon as they saw Charon cut off Veil’s hand.

“This is how I got the nickname of Butcher instead of Scoundrel.”

Charon clicked his tongue, then wiggled his finger at de Gaulle, who was frozen behind him.

Then de Gaulle approached Charon with a pale face.

“Father, did you call?”

“By now, the Knights of Haerang and the Imperial Guard will have arrived outside the Great Hall. If this many people try to leave at once, there will definitely be an accident. Go out and call the knights.”

“Yes, I understand!”

De Gaulle shouted loudly and ran out of the auditorium at full speed, and Caron turned his gaze back to the veil.

“I promise you one thing. If you tell me everything you know, I’ll make it so you don’t have to suffer.”

A playful voice without even a trace of seriousness.

It sounded impossible.

How to stop the worms that have already started to multiply through the blood vessels?

It was nonsense without any specialized equipment.

But just then, Charon struck Veil’s instep with his sword again.

Then, after a while.

Wooooow-!

An unknown energy began to flow into Veil’s body. And at that moment, some of the pain that had been pouring in from all over his body stopped for a moment.

The pain in my hands and feet that had been cut off by the sword still persisted, but it felt as if the worms had stopped moving.

“As you can see, I can stop the activities of the devil.”

“how?”

“I’ll ask the questions. You answer them. Are you ready to cooperate now?”

Caron asked while lifting Veil’s collar, and Veil answered in a trembling voice.

“The answer you want… I can’t give you… It’s forbidden… It’s forbidden. The moment I spill my secret, I die.”

At those words, Caron frowned slightly.

And he spoke to the guillotine stuck in Veil’s instep.

“Guillotine, is what this kid is saying true?”

-It seems like there’s some kind of magic around the heart. It seems to be linked to the self-destruct magic… … .

“Can you release it?”

-Of course. What do you think of me? Look carefully, master.

Woooooooooo-!

A blue light shimmered from the guillotine’s blade, and soon that blue light swept over Veil’s entire body.

Veil couldn’t even properly perceive what was happening to him.

I can only guess that the Charon in front of me is doing something.

A very short time passed like that, and then Caron smiled and said to Veil.

“I released the ban. Are you willing to cooperate now?”

“How on earth did you… … do that?”

“Who can teach you the basics of business? I have always been fond of magicians. Do you know why?”

Srrrrrr!

Darkness rose around Charon.

Pluto’s darkness created a huge curtain over the stage.

It was Caron’s consideration for the students.

Caron, who had created his own space, said as he fixed his sword.

“Wizards have a very low tolerance for physical pain. That means the effects of torture are killing them.”

He’s the guy who ruined my plans to become a loser.

Besides, seeing this kind of thing happen right in the middle of the academy, it’s not like he did it alone.

“Let’s get started. You don’t have to tell me everything from the beginning. Oh, and it’s been a while since I’ve interrogated you, so please understand even if I’m awkward.”

The tip of the guillotine’s sword glowed fiercely.

Charon whispered softly toward the veil.

“Start with your right arm. How do you like it?”

That’s how hell began.

6.

As Charon had expected, the knights of the Haerang Knights and the Imperial Guard had already arrived outside the Great Hall.

They quickly began evacuating the students.

The magicians who were urgently dispatched from the Magic Tower also installed artifacts in various places in preparation for any unexpected situations, and deployed magic to search for traces of the Aguichung.

While the students, terrified, were fleeing the auditorium, the two knights’ leaders hurriedly entered the auditorium.

And soon they could see the curtain of darkness hanging over the stage.

Inside the auditorium, it was so quiet that it was almost silent.

The Imperial Guard’s deputy commander, Luke, hurried towards the curtain.

Behind the curtain, several students were lying unconscious.

“Everyone, get those students out. They don’t look good, so hurry up… … .”

As Luke was giving instructions to his men, the curtain of darkness parted and two men appeared within.

“Don’t touch the children, Lord Luke. They are infected with the maggots and need to be treated.”

Charon, a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, let out a soft breath as he looked at Luke.

dump.

He threw the body of a man he was holding in his hand to the floor.

“But you’re not late, are you?”

“The evacuation operation is proceeding smoothly.”

“Ah, you can take your time. There’s nothing dangerous right now.”

Charon rubbed the blade of the guillotine against the clothes of the man who lay on the floor.

Because the sword was stained with blood due to torture.

After simply wiping the blood away, Charon put the guillotine back into its scabbard and spoke to Luke.

“Last time, I told you that there was a serial murder in the capital.”

“Yes that’s right.”

“The culprits are these guys.”

Charon gestured to the veil with his chin.

“It was flowing smoothly.”

Luke could immediately see how Charon had obtained the information.

You could tell just by looking at the suspect’s miserable condition.

This man was barely hanging on to his life.

“Bail Friedman. Professor of Magic at the Academy… … Is this the culprit?”

“Not the mastermind. Just the mastermind’s lackey.”

“You figured something out.”

“It seems that all the murders that occurred in the capital were caused by the Aguichung. They improved the Aguichung and conducted experiments, but they created a very vicious Aguichung.”

The characteristics of this mutant worm that Charon identified from Veil were as follows.

“It maximizes the aggressiveness of the infected person and can be transmitted through saliva. It’s dangerous just by looking at it.”

This type of worm is different from the worms used to control slaves.

It was clearly modified as a biological weapon.

“Of course, it seems that the female worm only becomes aggressive when the host gives a signal, but we will have to study it properly to know the details.”

Luke nodded with a serious expression.

A devilfish that disappeared into the back alleys of history.

It’s shocking enough that it’s reappeared, but now it’s been modified into a biological weapon?

This was not something to be taken lightly.

It meant that something could happen that would shake the foundations of the empire.

“But did you say ‘guys’ earlier?”

The expression ‘the guys’ meant that there might be some group behind it.

Caron nodded slowly.

“yes.”

“… … We have to clean it up right now.”

“I was thinking of doing that anyway. So, how many people can you give me?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to launch a large-scale punitive operation?”

“There’s a high chance that information will get through there. According to what this professor says, his connections seem to reach high-ranking officials.”

Charon lightly kicked Veil’s unconscious body with his foot. Then he looked at Luke and continued speaking.

“First, please control the information here.”

Luke could see why Caron was making such a request.

If, as Caron had expected, the enemy’s connections reached the upper echelons, it was clear that they would flee the moment the order to subdue them was given.

“It is our responsibility to maintain order in the capital. There is no need for you, Lord Caron, to step forward.”

“Sir Luke. If it were you, Sir Luke, would you just let someone who threw ashes at a finished meal pass by?”

A deep murderous intent rose from Charon’s body.

“I can’t stand seeing that.”

Ruined your plans to become a loser?

That alone is enough reason for these guys to be completely wiped out.

But there is a more important reason than that.

Charon thought back to the story he had just heard from Veil’s mouth.

The group this guy belongs to.

I heard every word clearly, without missing a word, about what that group was pursuing.

‘Lottery party.’

Crazy guys who declare themselves to be the subjects of the evil emperor.

A bunch of crazy bastards who follow the ghost of a man who disappeared from the empire over 50 years ago.

Now that we know that there are such people behind this incident, how can we just ignore it?

“If we leave like this, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep at night. So, I’m going to raid their hideout with as few people as possible.”

Actually, to be honest.

‘nice to meet.’

It was nice to meet you.

I was so happy and glad that there was an outlet for the long-unresolved grudges that still lingered in the empire.

That’s why Charon was happy to kill them.

“Then shall we start playing tag now?”

The game of tag to death has begun.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
