Episode 223 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 36 –

​

​

​

The target is none other than the Crowfield Dukes.

A total of three people came here for him.

​

I, Abraxas Mentutihotep.

Ygrasil.

and Alice Tantalota.

​

A total of three people.

​

​

Originally, Alice didn’t need to come.

I came because if there were witnesses, it would be better to control their minds myself.

​

The reason why the aura of domination was not used often was because it could cause political controversy if used carelessly.

​

​

“There is no reason to use it. It’s not like I’m being pushed that far. It is most beneficial to unleash this kind of power when it is most critical.”

​

Honestly, it is a very dangerous power.

Because its power was revealed in Abenheim, the Holy Emperor also knows that information.

​

If an incident occurs, Alice will be the first to be suspicious.

​

Moreover, if power exists, it is human to find a way to overcome it.

I’m not some kind of genius.

​

What I think, other people may think too.

​

So the best way is to minimize exposure to information so that you can’t even think about it.

​

This was the reason why information about Alice had not been properly revealed until now.

​

​

“But. It wouldn’t matter if the power of the Holy Emperor didn’t work. Wouldn’t it be better for me to be there, even as insurance?”

​

“Of course. Who can say anything about that?”

​

Anyway, as long as I have the power, this matter will never be made public.

This is because even the Seonghwangcheong Office will not know who is behind it anyway.

​

​

The way the evil spirit’s stigmata blocks the saint’s power is simple.

Due to the nature of God’s power relying on ideas. The power of God is offset only by the power of God.

​

Therefore, the stigmata of the Heavenly God do not reveal any saints other than themselves.

​

When events occur, they are invisible but clearly affect the future or past.

​

In other words, an error occurs in the information power of Seonghwangcheong, which is almost invincible.

​

Seonghwangcheong is somehow an unaffiliated special adult.

This was why there was such an obsession with apostate saints.

​

​

but. They cannot interfere with each other’s powers.

Even if it is possible to make yourself invisible.

​

It was impossible for them to make others invisible or prevent the stigmata from occurring.

​

​

however. The evil spirit’s stigmata were different.

The evil spirit contained such powerful power in the stigmata that it was difficult to compare it to the saints of Seonghwangcheong.

​

That power has become enough to repel other forces even if it extends outwards.

​

​

If you can’t see it, it’s no different from not using it.

If you spread your power and make your surroundings invisible.

​

If the surroundings contain the power of evil spirits like yourself.

​

In the end, Seonghwangcheong cannot find out.

Ultimately, the Holy Ghost ‘sees’ through the power of God.

​

This is because it is not a being that ‘knows’ through the power of God.

​

​

“So, seeing as this matter was hidden, you won’t know who it is. Is it a vampire or a surviving remnant of the Evil God Church? Or maybe you’ll be lost because you don’t know if it’s some other devil.

All they can know is that the power has been blocked, and we won’t be among those that can block that power.”

​

The ground cover is at a loss.

If you know your enemy and yourself, you will not lose even if you fight 100 times.

​

knew me

Seonghwangcheong also knew.

​

As a result, Seonghwangcheong was able to proceed with something it would never have known possible.

​

​

“Let’s go.”

​

There was no need for a grand story.

Now was the time to begin.

​

​

==========

​

The stigmata of evil spirits begin to spread as soon as the operation begins.

A trace of power, as if deep darkness had arrived, overtook the Crowfield duchy.

​

Security was lax.

This is because they deliberately took advantage of a poor timing.

​

At least it appears that the security loophole mentioned by Tyrael Crowfield was not a lie.

​

​

-It’s easier to break through than I thought. At this rate, it shouldn’t be that difficult.

​

-It’s not time yet. Because it is not too late to become arrogant even after the operation is successful.

​

Alice and I moved forward while sharing a simple conversation over the phone.

​

​

The guards were strong.

That was because they were the ones protecting the dukedom.

​

But we were stronger.

This was even more so because if he was at our level of strength in the first place, there would be no reason for him to be in charge of the Duke’s security.

​

​

There is also a gap in technology.

They cannot use Auror enhancements because they have not reached Auror Swell.

​

There was a gap larger than that between a fully grown adult and a newborn.

​

This meant that even if there were 1,000 people, it would not cause any harm.

I don’t know if we’re tired and just ignore it.

​

​

-Where did the assassin go?

​

-You mean Ygrasil? He must be stirring up the Dukedom now. We enter the target location, and Igrasil’s role is to distract the guards.

​

The operation changed midway.

The reason was extremely simple.

​

Ygrasil’s madness is not a problem that can be easily solved.

If you hold it in and it explodes, there could be an even bigger reaction.

​

It was doubtful whether he would properly find the information.

​

​

So I decided to go and get the information myself.

This is because it is safer and more efficient.

​

Bang~

​

​

“!!!”

​

“!”

​

But plans are always a little distorted.

In a state where we couldn’t imagine anything, Alice and I let out confused sounds from our mouths.

​

The cause was simple.

​

While walking down the hallway of the mansion, one wall suddenly collapsed.

​

It would have been better if it was Ygrasil’s work or the work of others.

Unfortunately. It wasn’t a human who brought down the wall.

​

​

Kwaaang ㅡ

​

The wall fell to the floor like that.

The wall soon exploded like a cannonball, sending out countless fragments.

​

​

“Be careful!”

​

The walls of the Duke’s house are solid.

The wall made of high-strength alchemy steel is strong enough to be difficult to break down even with Auror Swell.

​

Yes.

​

A fragment of that much intensity.

It can also cause sufficient damage to Aura-enhanced users.

​

It was like a grenade made out of a wall.

​

​

‘If there’s an explosion big enough to destroy that thing, they’ll use it directly on us… Did you break the wall beforehand so that it scatters fragments?’

​

If such a thing is placed only in the area where a specific trap is to be created, security is less likely to become lax.

This is because only some parts are weak in durability.

​

The trap that applied it was definitely amazing.

​

​

Passeuukㅡ

​

“Are you okay, Princess?”

​

“It’s fine except for a little tear. There will be no scars if you just treat it naturally, without the need for divine power.”

​

Fortunately, Alice seemed to be fine.

Looks like there isn’t a single wound.

​

I was also fortunate that I was fine.

The situation has changed.

​

​

-First of all, a variable has been created.

​

-I don’t know what you’re doing setting a trap in your own mansion.

​

-There are pitfalls in the end, so it may become difficult. The trap will proceed separately from Mr. Ygrasil.

​

-Do you think the Duchess was aiming for it?

​

-If you say anything about this, you will say that it occurred after your death. Whether it’s real or not, it’s true that it’s disadvantageous.

​

There was no trap in Tyrael Crowfield’s remarks.

Did she know?

​

I don’t know if these came into being after her death.

Under the circumstances, you probably knew.

​

There is no way these facilities could suddenly be created without any incident.

It would be correct to say that it has existed since she was alive.

​

But there is no way to prove it.

Because it really could have come about suddenly.

​

If nothing else, a variable has been created.

​

​

-First of all, you have to proceed while being careful of traps. I can’t take it out now. I’m sure Mr. Ygrasil will take care of it somehow.

​

It was a time when the duke’s security was lax.

Most of the duke’s troops will be concentrated on the duke and Arianna, so it’s still okay.

​

Unless Ygrasil suddenly goes crazy and targets the duke, you can buy it no matter what.

​

​

-Aren’t you afraid?

​

-You are afraid of traps and such, so why would you have been aiming for the position of emperor?

​

I laughed at Alice’s answer.

​

There was a brief risk, but ultimately the goal was the same.

The place we had to go was the same.

​

​

This is the Duke of Crowfield’s mansion.

The destination is the duke’s office.

​

-Let’s go.

​

-I see.

​

I believe in Igrasil, who is attracting aggro from the troops somewhere.

I ran out again.

​

​

==========

​

A corner of the duke’s mansion.

A type of panic room where key members of the duke family take refuge.

​

Something unimaginable was happening inside.

​

​

Pop~

Pop~

​

Blood flows from both of them.

Both of them were bleeding.

​

It could have been thought that both sides were hurt.

The blood they were shedding belonged to one person.

​

​

“Giggle. I won’t kill you. Don’t worry. Peacock.”

​

Anyone can see that this is Ygrasil’s tone of voice.

And a body in his hands.

​

Standing on the other side is the Duke of Crowfield.

And what happened to him was that his left arm was cut off.

​

​

“Because I told you not to kill me! Giggling.”

​

Ygrasil.

The battle between him and the Duke was about to begin.
