Meanwhile, at that moment, the loud noise that started in the banquet hall shook the entire mansion.

Even in the dungeon, dust from the impact fell on the heads of the two men.

“It’s noisy up there.”

“Keep on going! You damn bitch. You’re a dead man now. How dare you touch the servant of the demon without even knowing the place.”

The man, whose whole body was covered in wounds, burst into laughter and looked at the woman standing calmly in front of him.

White hair that brings to mind a pure white snow field that does not allow any dirt to remain.

Mysterious purple eyes that make it impossible for anyone who sees them to escape.

She was a beautiful woman who seemed to have jumped out of a painting.

But the eyes of the man facing such a beauty were not filled with a greasy lust.

All I felt was fear, like a herbivore facing a predator.

“It’s noisy, I can guess what’s going on. Your colleagues have barged in, right?”

“That, that’s right! It’s your turn now! Don’t even think about dying nicely since you messed with a member of the new religion!”

“I told you from the beginning that you have no right to talk nonsense. Don’t you have the ability to learn?”

Phage-!!

“Kkaaaak!!”

The purple current flowing from Aria’s hand once struck the man’s body.

The man, trembling as if he had been electrocuted, thought to himself.

‘How on earth did things turn out like this?’

He had been living the life of a lowly black magician, but he was lucky enough to join the Masin Church, and was able to dream of a smooth life.

The new religion was similarly full of people who dared not act in the open.

If you achieve more, you can be appointed as a full-fledged priest of the new religion.

At the same time, it was a land of opportunity where one was granted the right to be granted superhuman powers.

And finally, his chance came.

A being called a spirit master who has made a contract with a second-dimensional being, the spirit, and can always receive the pure elemental energy into his body.

Thanks to this, they automatically acquire a pure body that is infinitely close to nature, without any impurities.

In other words, it meant that it was a sacrifice that would make any human of the new religion, including black magicians, drool.

That’s why.

By chance, I obtained information that the successor to the Dustin family was a spirit master.

If it is true, it is a forced inspection to catch him and achieve results.

‘In the end, I was caught by that damn spirit he was controlling and thrown in prison.’

It was okay up to that point.

Even though his magical power was sealed and his limbs were bound… he didn’t feel any particular fear.

Because he was confident that salvation would be sent to rescue him from the new religion.

I don’t particularly believe that he is a member of the Protestant Church.

This was because they would never quietly give up the sacrifices they were offering to the gods.

‘In particular, the priest who was dispatched as the temporary bishop of the North is a powerful man who has been granted authority. He has the ability to single-handedly destroy the knights of the count’s family, so there is no reason for him to hesitate.’

If the followers of the priests joined in, the destruction of the Dustin family was almost a done deal.

And all he has to do is take advantage of the confusion to get help and escape the prison.

It was a shame that I couldn’t secure the spirit master with my own hands… but I had to live for now so that I could plan for the future.

It must have been like that… .

“I can hear you rolling your head uselessly from here.”

Crackle!!

He screamed as lightning struck his body again, forcing him to roll onto the prison floor.

Yeah, all his plans went awry after that woman suddenly showed up in this prison.

She came to see him in prison alone, without any surveillance or escort.

Even he, a fellow magician, uses a variety of magic that makes him stick out his tongue.

They tortured him thoroughly to make him divulge information about the Masin Church.

‘What a devil… .’

Of course, at first, I laughed at her for telling me everything I knew and tried to hide it, or I bragged and told lies… .

-So, I’m pretty good at deceiving people?

I couldn’t help but shiver at the sight of him noticing it as if he was a ghost and immediately imposing sanctions.

If it was simply a matter of beating and causing pain, like the inquisitors of Count Dustin’s family did, then I could tolerate it.

But she can’t just strike with lightning like she does now, she can also block the air around you to the point of suffocation, or just pour water down your throat, or burn your skin little by little with fire and then cut it off.

He displayed boldness and cruelty in committing acts with a calm face that were completely incongruous with his outward appearance, which was like that of a greenhouse flower.

“Hmm… It looks like there’s really no more information to spit out. I’m worried about Eugene because of the commotion upstairs.”

I guess I should go back soon.

The man who heard her soliloquy thought that she was living inside.

But that was a huge mistake.

“You’re useless now… You shouldn’t run away while there’s a commotion, so it’s better to deal with you right here and now.”

“Hey, wait! I told you everything I know, right? So please spare me! I won’t run away!”

Aria is lost in thought, wondering whether the man in front of her is pleading or not.

Soon, she tugged at the corners of her lips eerily, as if recalling something from the vibration she had been feeling from above a while ago.

“Oh, I got a good idea.”

She slowly extended her hand in front of the man’s nose, smiling a cruel smile that she could never show in front of Eugene because she didn’t want to be hated.

“Of course, you can’t not prepare a gift when welcoming guests.”

“What? What is that… .”

“Well, but you don’t need any cumbersome limbs for a gift, right?”

The next moment, a man’s scream echoed through the dungeon.

***

The ceiling of the banquet hall completely collapsed.

A bright yellow moon appeared through the gaping holes in the ceiling.

“Are you okay?”

A cloud of dust rose as debris fell to the ground.

I was able to avoid being crushed by the rubble because I quickly grabbed Julian who was next to me and stepped back.

“Yeah, Eugene, what about you?”

“I’m fine.”

I turned my gaze and looked in the direction of the dust cloud that was slowly beginning to clear.

Pee-pee!

At that moment, without warning, a black sphere flew towards me from inside the dust cloud.

Because I was on guard beforehand, I didn’t panic and calmly swung my fist.

This allowed the projectile’s trajectory to be deflected, responding to a surprise attack.

“Sylph!”

At the same time, Julian, who was nearby, summoned the wind spirit and cleared the smoke in an instant.

“That’s amazing, I never thought you’d take that with your bare hands.”

Amidst the completely cleared cloud of dust, a man in black priestly robes stood with a sly smile on his face.

As if they had been waiting for him to finish speaking, a group of black people wearing similar clothing landed one by one into the banquet hall through the collapsed ceiling.

“Nice to meet you.”

He walked slowly, an ominous aura emanating from his whole body.

Also, something similar to the black sphere that had flown in earlier was created in the air, and the energy felt from it was unusual.

In that case, time to worry would be a luxury.

“I am a priest of the Great Church of God… Huh!?”

bang-!!

A marble table with appetizing food displayed on the side.

He picked it up with one hand and threw it with all his might at the suspicious man.

The guy who was leisurely introducing himself was hit by a heavy table that flew straight at him and he was blown all the way to the wall on the other side of the banquet hall.

“Huh…? Eugene…?”

Of course, Julian was right next to him when that action occurred without warning.

The northern children were at a loss and were floundering about in the sudden commotion.

And also the black group that was kneeling on one knee next to the one that just flew away.

Everyone in the banquet hall was looking at me with dumbfounded expressions.

‘These guys, they’ve graduated from frontline life and are more relaxed than before.’

He lifted his leg and struck the ground hard.

thud-!!

Then a loud noise echoed throughout the banquet hall, and the shape of my footprints was clearly engraved on the floor.

Soon, he looks around and shouts.

“What are you all doing, losing your minds? A guest has arrived at the party.”

At this, the northern children who had been frozen until just a moment ago began to sharpen their eyes, one by one.

I nodded as I watched them each draw their weapons and gradually gain momentum.

“Yes, let’s welcome them without making them feel bad.”

A group of intruders who noticed that something was wrong with the situation, slowly started to kneel down or back away.

Without hesitation, he rushed straight into the place where they were huddled together.

I swung my fist at the head of the guy in front and cracked it open like a watermelon.

“The northern way, that is.”

The feeling of warm blood flowing down the back of my hand and the sticky feeling of my brain.

He felt the sensation of cutting off the enemy’s windpipe, and the corners of his mouth distorted fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, a pack of wolves, receiving a signal from their leader, charged towards their prey.
