63 – Collapse (1)

The mask of the lion prince came off in an instant.

“Does it even have detection abilities?”

The man opened his mouth and asked me in a puzzled voice.

“Not similar.”

“Was it a magic swordsman?”

“Does it look like that?”

“no.”

he shook his head.

“It must be one of your many abilities. Like that ridiculous resilience.”

The nobles in the vast banquet hall tilted their heads and murmured as they deliberately raised their voices so that everyone could hear them.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Your Highness said you had troops on standby to kill that man?”

“His Highness the Four Princes can’t do that.”

“What kind of situation is this… … .”

However, the black-haired man, the Four Princes, did not offer any explanation despite the noisy voices of the guests.

He just stared at me standing right in front of me with emotionless, creepy eyes.

As soon as I confirmed the purple energy swirling in the eyes of the Four Princes, I tore the corners of my mouth.

“A demon who openly pretends to be a prince. the world is getting better is not it?”

“… … Do you even know that word?”

The Four Princes didn’t even look surprised, as if they were desperate.

“I can’t. I tried to kill you right here… … .”

“You tried to kill me?”

“After being taken alive, I will torture you by tearing your body apart so that you will confess everything you know.”

A man who calmly spits out scary sounds.

“What are you talking about… … .”

“… … Your Highness the Four Princes?”

It is a scene that is difficult to understand as the prince is saying.

The VIPs in attendance soon realized that something was going on strangely.

At that moment, the Four Princes snapped their fingers.

Saaa… … .

“what?”

“What are you humans doing?”

A group of people appeared behind the four princes.

The beings that appeared as if they had been there from the beginning.

The nobles tilted their heads at the sight of the five swordsmen in black camouflage and the long-bearded old man in black robes as well.

Soon, the old man who seems to be the leader of the group raises the staff in his hand and mutters lowly.

“Sleep.”

oh oh oh… … .

The formidable magic that flowed from his body enveloped the entire banquet hall.

Then, the nobles and knights in the banquet hall start to fall like puppets with threads cut off.

“… … I hoped.”

Eyes twitch.

The mana in the body of the old man who appeared behind the Four Princes could not be properly measured.

In other words, the old man is strong enough to be difficult for me to handle.

“I didn’t know you would bring someone really strong like a grandmaster.”

“Puhh… … . right. You wouldn’t have expected it.”

At my reaction, the Four Prince covered his mouth with a distorted expression and giggled like a madman.

“You were the problem, too. Knowing my identity wasn’t enough, I didn’t expect it to be enough to immediately notice the fact that I had hidden powers to kill you, but it doesn’t matter.”

“… … .”

“today… … You will bury your bones here.”

At those words, the old man aroused his magic power and sent all the fallen people up to the third floor.

“Are you still on your side?”

“After I kill you, I have to explain to His Majesty the Emperor, too.”

“Would that be possible?”

“You still don’t know what situation you’re in. Do you really not know who that is?”

I do not know.

Because he was the first person I saw in my life.

When I looked at him with a really disconcerted expression, the old man took a step forward, stroking his beard.

“Nice to meet you. Are you Leon?”

“uh.”

“I say that I am Duke Geoffrey of the Dark Empire. Have you ever heard of my name?”

“Duke Geoffrey… … ? Are you talking about the Grand Mage of the Dark Empire, belonging to the super-teens?”

“haha. I’m glad you know.”

Mado Empire?

Come to think of it, just a moment ago, the Four Princes said that he was the grandson of the Emperor of the Sorcery Empire.

‘No matter how much, I don’t understand sending a big shot like this.’

I didn’t expect it at all.

In the first place, the thought of bringing in a grandmaster was just an expectation, but I never thought they would actually bring in a foreign superman.

I shouted out that word for the first time in a long while, keeping my eyes fixed on the old man who was looking this way.

‘Status window.’

Tring!

▶ ! caution ! ◀

—-[Geoffrey Arcturus] is a [Asmodian].

—-[Geoffrey Arcturus] is a descendant of the monster king, [Agares].

Tring!

[You have entered into a hostile relationship with a monster that threatens this world!]

[Character: When you win the battle against 「Jeffrey Arcturus」, you will receive the following rewards.]

[Reward 1) Obtain the ‘Attribute: Subspace’ possessed by [Geoffrey Arcturus] with ‘Rank: S’!]

[Reward 2) Acquire the ‘Wand of the Sage’ owned by 「Geoffrey Arcturus」!]

‘What kind of liking is the old man seeing for the first time… … .’

Besides being a demon, a humanoid monster, it’s not enough to be a descendant of Agares, one of the 72 demon lords.

“From the black magician to Agares’ family. It’s so damn, so damn.”

“How did you know that?”

“You don’t need to know that. It will just hide like a rat dead and come out next month. What on earth did the Four Princes bet on to do crazy things like this?”

“… … Huh. Do you even know what will happen next month?”

The old man opened his eyes wide, as if he were really surprised.

“Amazing. I have a reason why I must kill you.”

“Why did the demon tribe stop pretending to be a human duke just to catch me? Did His Majesty the Emperor of the Dark Empire even worry about his grandson?”

“That is not true.”

“If that’s not the case, what on earth did you risk your life to come over like this?”

The old man’s eyes twitched at the part about risking his life, but he didn’t bother to tackle it.

However, his mouth opened as if he wanted to clear my doubts.

“Because it is unacceptable for a new superman to appear at this time.”

“It’s arbitrary.”

“I can’t help it. It’s not long until the big gye (大計), but I can’t make a variable. Especially if it’s a risk factor like you.”

“Hmm… … .”

In response to the old man’s answer, I slowly took out the magic sword from the scabbard on my waist.

[‘Magic Sword: The Serpent of Jealousy’ is enraged at Geoffrey Arcturus’ remarks!]

“Are you sure you can kill me?”

“I’m sure. I must show you why.”

The old man raised his hand and infused magical power into a great artifact called the ‘Wand of the Sage’.

The jet-black magic that climbed up the staff soared into the air, and soon swallowed the first floor of the banquet hall where they were standing.

At the same time, the black world unfolded.

A background that seemed far from reality, like a different world, filled my field of vision.

“Is it a barrier?”

“exactly. It is one of my arcane magics that will never be released until the caster dies.”

It must mean that if the Palace of the Four Princes were to be destroyed, it would be difficult.

That’s why he opened a barrier that consumes a lot of mana.

I muttered to myself as I looked around with an expressionless face.

‘They lay the plates like this.’

Barrier? rather good

Thanks to this, you don’t have to worry about the 5% gacha ticket at all.

In fact, 5% was a very ambiguous probability, so I was thinking about it inwardly.

‘Looking at the Lichification skill, this space will be maintained until I lose my temper and wake up.’

“So, are you planning to kill me here?”

“I won’t kill you right away as requested by Her Highness the Four Princes. But I will take you to our lair, torture you, dissect you, break your mind, and then offer your soul to my master.”

“Yeah.”

How could you say such cruel words without even flinching?

I felt it even when I was on Earth, but a humanoid monster… … So these demons were all psychos like this.

Crazy bastards who consider humans less than livestock.

‘A hawk is medicine for such crazy people.’

But it’s not the timing yet.

Apparently, among today’s honored guests, Princess Laura’s name was written, but she was not present in the banquet hall.

Predictably, they’re probably holding her hostage.

‘I’ll have to pretend I don’t know for now.’

I nodded and got into a stance.

“If I ran amok, would I lose money?”

“You won’t be able to move one step from your place.”

‘Pretending to be surprised here, I blurt out the end of my words.’

“What is that… … .”

When I look at them with my eyes wide open, Prince Oh appears behind the swordsmen wearing black masks with a woman.

Black hair flowing down.

Two hands tied with a rope.

And even the trembling eyes.

‘I heard that both Prince Oh and Princess Laura are nowhere to be seen.’

The familiar face was, as I expected, Princess Laura.

‘Also.’

I never thought they would take their little sister hostage like that.

Also, these babies

I can’t keep it alive.

A gray notification window popped up above my field of vision.

Tring!

[Protagonist: The spirit of 「Laura Dian Rodenburg」 is at stake!]

[I recommend that you use all your might to rescue her right now!]

When they told me not to use King of Chains,

Now I’m even going to say that I recommend it.

‘That’s why the current branch is so important.’

However, despite the eager-looking notification on the status window, I did not open the power right away.

‘Her mind is at stake… … .’

If her mind is broken,

Will that hypocritical personality change?

‘Isn’t that a bit tempting?’

I stared at Princess Laura.

Appearing, she opened her mouth and tried to convey her words to me somehow.

However, the Archmage, no, the Archmage, Duke Geoffrey, must have put a silence spell on it, so all of her lines became a soundless roar.

“Laura… … majesty… … ?”

Let’s say with a trembling voice,

The Four Princes smiled darkly.

“Did you expect this too, Leon?”

“…”

uh. I did it, you bastard.

I muttered to myself as I turned my head and looked at the Four Princes pathetically.
