Ed subjugation (5)
Isla Triss was running out of breath as she ran across the hallway on the 4th floor of the Elte Trading Building.
While escaping from the dungeon and running up to the fourth floor, Isla had her eyes wide open.
When I first received Ed’s proposal, I didn’t think the scale would be this big.
Workers collapsed all over the building of Elte Co., and Ed’s acquaintances guarding each floor.
Ziggs, who was preparing himself on the second floor, looked as usual, but Yenika, who was sitting in the VIP waiting room on the third floor, was afraid for some reason and couldn’t even talk to her.
When I passed through the messy hallways and reached the fourth floor, the thought that something was wrong was running through my head.
“Oh, you’re here earlier than expected. You’d better move quickly though. It’s gloomy and it looks like it’s going to rain soon.”
Eventually, as planned, when she arrived at the end of the hallway on the 4th floor, Tracyana Bloomriver, the 4th year head of the Ministry of Magic, was waiting for Isla.
“Ah, hello. Tracyana senior.”
“I saw your face a few times at the academic conference. Nice to meet you.”
“Yes, yes… I heard that senior Ed called this and that, but I didn’t know that senior Tracyana would come too.”
I knew that Ed Rosteiler knew people from all walks of life.
Still, even Ayla didn’t know that Tracyana, who was famous at the Sylvania Academic Society, would come out.
“Just go up to the roof and go through the emergency exit to Ed’s camp. We’ll take care of the rest, so don’t worry.”
“Processing… what do you mean?”
Isla asked Tracyana cautiously, but she only shrugged.
“I’m only doing what I’m asked to do. I’m just sending you to Ed’s camp and stopping Taily.”
Ayla recalled the faces of the people she saw on the way up to the fourth floor.
Taylor McLore has grown at an incredibly fast pace in recent years. Not to be overshadowed by the name of the descendant of the Sword Saint, he grew up so fast that he wondered if he was really the same person every day. His speed surprised even his childhood friend Ayla who knew him well.
No matter how much it is, if it’s enough to break through all these walls…
“You look bad, Ayla.”
Suddenly, Tracyana struck sharply.
“Things you worry about don’t happen. If you’re going to ask why you’re making this mess, it’s all for him.”
“That… How can Tracyana-senpai be so sure…?”
Ayla looked at Tracyana with a puzzled face.
Ed and Tracyana aren’t even that special. It’s common for famous wizards to be close friends as seniors and juniors, but it was strange to see Ed so deeply understood.
In fact, it’s strange that he came out in the middle of the night just because Ed called. Whether or not there is a personal debt, it is not easy for even seniors and juniors to accept such a troublesome request.
“Don’t think about it, go to Ed’s camp immediately, Ayla.”
Tracyana didn’t try to explain the reason in detail.
He just said that to Ayla in a plain tone.
*I grabbed the knife and swung it in the air once to shake off the blood.
Taily’s sword, shining in the moonlight, was sharpened as if revealing his re-firmed will.
Clevius, who is already nearly consumed by the bloody madness. Is it an unbeatable enemy on his own level?
Taylor had a hunch.
If you do it really wrong, you could die.
“From now on, I don’t have the confidence to keep the line either. Taily.”
A sense of intimidation dwells in the voice of Clevius, whose rationality is gradually disappearing.
The reason Clevius Nortondale always avoids fighting is to avoid killing people.
His swordsmanship, wielding a sword in madness, takes people’s lives so easily.
“To me, a duel was an acrobatics performance where you risked your life every single time. It’s the same now.”
“I have no intention of backing down either, Clevius.”
“I guess so.”
Clevius straightened his sword and turned his red eyes to Taily.
“Ugh, keuh… uhh… keuh…”
Clevius bent his upper body like a puppet with a broken thread and made a strange noise. The magic of blood enveloped his body again.
Every battle is a matter of life and death. I can’t even fathom how heavy that fact is.
If you face an opponent who risked his life, you must also risk your life. If you face an enemy who is determined to die with a half-hearted mind, you will be defeated in an instant.
Taylor gritted it too.
This fight should never be prolonged. The longer the fight went on, the stronger Clevius would become after absorbing more blood.
It ends with this one sum. Regardless of which one of them got hit, we have to see the results this time.
Like that, the two men kicked off the floor and moved forward.
Clevius is gone.
I get the illusion that the figure has disappeared due to the too fast leap.
You have to predict the next move of Clevius by looking at the current of the air and the movement right before it disappears.
Prediction rather than prediction. Concentrate on your five senses, and sharp sensations flow through your skin.
― Caan!!
Taily miraculously blocks Clevius’s sword attack from the right side. The sound of swords colliding with each other resounded in the front yard of the store once.
― Whoaaaaaaagh!
The magical energy released from the collision spreads around. The clutter and belongings of the workers were scattered on the floor and flew through the air.
The sound of exhaling with a gurgling sound like a beast of prey. It was the sound that came out of Clevius’ mouth.
Taily, who saw the blood-crazed ghost right in front of him… I gave my strength to the swords that were facing each other.
“You don’t even know the circumstances… don’t meddle…!”
– Caan!
Taily, who bounced off the sword once, gnawed his teeth once more and moved forward. A single big swing of the sword could not reach Clevius.
“interference?”
Clevius’s growing voice reached Taily’s ears. She was already right behind.
Taily, who had goosebumps all over his body, quickly turned his sword to block Clevius’s sword attack, but he couldn’t stop the tip of the sword from piercing his collarbone.

“Cuck!”
It’s not a deep wound. somehow blocked it
However, blood continued to flow from the wound, which had been pierced several centimeters.
“It’s obvious at least. The reason you’re moving so desperately, Taily, must be because of that kid from the society, Ayla.”
It’s been quite some time since Clevius and Taily were together as college students. He knew him to some extent.
“If you weren’t with him, where else would you make a fuss like this…”
“You… you know…”
“What do you know?”
Even so, the fact that Taily swung the sword at Elvira does not change.
“Just as Ayla is your wrath, I have a wrath.”
The sound of gnashing and gnashing of teeth. As Clevius put more weight on the sword to drive it deeper, Taily let out another scream.
– Caan!
Taily, who had managed to deflect Clevius’ sword, returned to his stance. And for the final blow, I drew out the mana of my whole body.
Despite Clevius’ will, Taily has no intention of backing down.
I gripped the handle of the sword tightly with a crackling sound.
“Kreureu……”
In that way, Clevius completely let go of reason.
Driven by blood and swords, the Sword Demon, obsessed only with slashing the opponent in front of him, takes his place on the battlefield.
Taylor is not embarrassed.
If the opponent was immortal, he would only immortalize himself. This is because there is no option from the beginning to leave Ayla behind.
Clevius, who has completely lost his sanity, is now out of control.
It cuts down everything in front of its eyes and becomes a monster that repeats the fight until its strength is exhausted.
― Whoa!
It seems that he has finally adapted to Clevius’ ridiculous speed.
For a very brief moment, Clevius’ prepared posture was imprinted directly on Taily’s retinas.
The direction and power of the attack can be predicted instantaneously.
However, I don’t know if I can hit it back. Just try it once.
The cost of failure is life.
Explosive magical energy covers the area.
Taily’s gray hair grows even paler. Firm will flowed from her red eyes.
sword ceremony.
A lot of skills that are so deep and profound that I haven’t even mastered half of them.
In the feeling of floating in the sea, the next stage that was not reached flickers in front of Taylor’s eyes.
The relationship between two men exchanging final sword strikes with each other.
It was a fleeting moment when no one could even predict which trajectory and how sword attacks would come and go.
Eventually, it was the moment when Taily reached out his hand to the sword ceremony.
― Hwaaaaak
The shockwave from the collision of magical powers and the fluttering orange hair filled Taylor’s field of vision.
There was someone who jumped in between Taylor and Clevius. It’s literally like committing suicide.
“…What?!”
Taily, momentarily taken aback, stopped the attack while tightening his forearms.
However, I soon realized that it was a mistake. Even if he stopped himself, Clevias, who was completely mad, would not stop his sword. He has completely lost his human reason.
Before the life of the girl who intervened, even his own life caught in the sword attack could not be guaranteed.
The correct answer was to continue the sword attack, whether it be death or rice. However, when he came to the end of the last, he hesitated. He rushed in abruptly and was unable to slash Elvira.
The goddess of dueling always takes the side of the one without hesitation.
Taily closed her eyes, thinking about Clevius’ sword attack that would soon arrive, but…
“Gagging!”
All that followed was Clevius’ groan as he collapsed on the floor.
― Kwadangtang!
“….what…?”
Before long, in front of Taylor who slowly opened her eyes… He saw Elvira lying on the marble floor with him, hugging Clevius’ chest tightly.
Covered in the blood of Clevius, I climbed on his waist and held him down with his collar tightly around his chest.
“This…”
“Like this… It’s not until you risk your life to hit and hit and fight!”
There was no way that Clevius’ strength could bear the weight of one Elvira.
Even he is stained with the madness of blood swordsmanship.
If he loses his reason completely, he becomes a monster that can’t tell the difference to the extent that even his older brother can be cut down.
Nevertheless, Clevius was startled and took control of his sword.
As Clevius collapses on the floor and looks up at the sky, little light of reason remains in Clevius’ eyes.
Even so, it seems to be able to tell who the face that came into view is.
Elvira Aniston.
She is a cheeky woman who is useless to Clevius at all times.
There was no way that Clevius’ muscular strength could not withstand the weight of Elvira’s diminutive stature.
Even right now, you can push Elvira away, cut down the annoying obstacle, and continue the battle with Taily.
However, Clevius, drunk with blood… It was just crushed by Elvira’s weight.
Elvira looked down at him who was spitting bloody magic in agony. Her orange hair, falling from her shoulder blades, continued to tickle the tip of Clevius’ cheek.
The hairpin that was tying Elvira’s messy hair down beautifully disappeared before she knew it.
Without even thinking about tidying up his completely loose hair, he stared at Clevius, who was looking up at him with eyes full of madness, gritted teeth.
“Go, Taylor.”
“what…?”
“Go to the store! Don’t you have the heart to save Ayla?!”
Taily looked at the two of them with a confused face.
Clevius was now completely drunk with blood. It wouldn’t be strange if Clevius, who couldn’t tell the difference if left alone, even cut down Elvira.
Even so, Elvira bullied Taylor.
“What is the most important thing to you right now?”
“that…”
“Ayla was taken by Ed Rosteiler. The rest is up to you.”
Saying that, Elvira squeezed Clevius’ collar tightly and pressed it against his chest again.
“I’ll do the apples that have piled up like this next time. Just go. It’s okay to pass by.”
Saying so… Elvira didn’t even look at Taylor anymore.
Looking at it, Taylor swallowed dry saliva… Soon, I ran towards the upper building.
No matter what, the most important person to Taylor was Ayla.
* Heavy bleeding
Bleeding to this extent might not be a thing for Clevius, but for Elvira, it was a sight frowned upon.
That’s what a blood test is in the first place. I knew it was a swordsmanship with no middle ground, but it was too dangerous to use blood as a driving force.
Even when Lucy was making a fuss at the Ophelis Hall, Elvira clearly saw Clevius in his madness. Her monstrous appearance, which tries to cut down everything in front of her, terrifies people.
“Keugh… Kreuk…”
A sound like air escaping from the lungs.
A grotesque twist of her body, looking up at Elvira.
Even so, he couldn’t think of cutting down Elvira.
Could the past of Clevius, who once cut down his own brother, weigh on his shoulders like a weight?
Elvira, who is already covered in blood at the same time… She took out one of the reagents hanging from her waist without showing any sign of concern.
It is a reagent that has a calming effect. However, it is unknown whether it will have an effect on the magic of blood swordsmanship.
Clevius opens his mouth and tries to let it in, but Clevius, who is breathing like a monster, won’t open his mouth.
“Care your mind, you stupid Clevius!”
I try to open Clevius’ mouth with my hand covered in dark red blood, but… Her madness at the end of her mind does not erase her resentment towards her.
Then, Elvira drank the reagent with the cap removed. She, of course, didn’t swallow it completely, but held it in her mouth.
Then, without hesitation, he kissed the Clevius lying beneath him.
“Ouch, ooh…!”
A figure with lips folded while riding on top of Clevius’ waist. While hugging Clevius’ face and pouring reagent into his lips… Little by little, the reaction of Clevius, who twisted his body grotesquely, faded.
Is it the effect of the reagent, or is it due to the shock of this situation?
The cause is unknown, but… Little by little, the sword demon’s magic that had been in Clevius’ body was calming down.
“Puha…”
Elvira removed her lips and looked down at his face with her hands supported on the marble floor.
“Why are you interfering unnecessarily…! I told you to stay still…!”
When I looked down while talking like that with a half-crying face, Clevius, who had been holding his breath for a while, calmed down.
The dark red eyes also faded… The feeling of being sharp also slowly calmed down.
“I’m going to tell you, you Sipal…!”
However, Clevius who regained his sanity… He gritted his teeth and spoke…
“What, what?!”
“Tragging people around useless places, tying people up and giving strange sermons, restraining them, and useless meddling… You do it the most… This poem…”
The recoil of blood swordsmanship rode through Clevius’ body. Blood spread from the continued bleeding, but Clevius didn’t care.
“You are meddling in everything, and you are also doing things that I did not ask you to do, so why are you staring at me like I’m going to die for meddling with you this time?!”
Elvira was suddenly speechless. The same goes for her breathing.
― ‘Don’t meddle.’
The lines that Elvira’s older sister, Diella, said as she rolled up her cheek spread subtly.
― ‘Do you always feel like you are the main character of everything in the world?’
Nosy Elvira.
The tinnitus that followed her like a tag weighed on Elvira’s shoulders.
She is determined to pursue her own way of life, but that firm determination is actually nothing more than Elvira’s self-defense mechanism.
Because if you deny yourself even yourself, there comes a time when you feel like you can’t stand it.
It may be my fault that my sister Diella broke off her relationship with Elvira and left the family.
Maybe I should have been a little more considerate of Diella. When such thoughts come to mind, you must somehow grit your teeth.
“But Sipal… I can’t refuse… You…”
However, before long, Clevius’ words pierced Elvira’s heart like an arrow.
“That’s how you put it… I… I can’t do anything… Sifal… I’m like a dog… Really…”
“Clevius, you…”
“You… you’re doing it for me. So… I can’t say no… You’re like a dog!”
When Clevius gritted his teeth and said that, Elvira almost stopped breathing.
Diella Aniston.
Unable to overcome her feelings of inferiority to Elvira, her older sister left the house with abusive language.
Such a Diella… Elvira didn’t hate it in the first place.
The existence of her sister, who lived alongside the Aniston family and studied alchemy together, was a great blessing in Elvira’s life.
I just didn’t know how to describe Elvira. I want my sister to be better, knowing that she is a person who can go further, and the regrets of the actions of meddling, pointing out, and grumbling still linger in my heart.
Even if he pretends to be strong to protect his heart, in the end, he is just a meddler who behaves as he pleases.
Diella Aniston could not understand such Elvira or read her inner thoughts.
Both of them were young, so their expression was immature, and they didn’t have the maturity to understand their immaturity.
However, the pitiful man right in front… As if he knew Elvira’s psychology from the beginning…
It suited all of Elvira’s meddling and grumpiness.
“So… in moderation… do it… Elvira…”
Saying so, Clevius’ mouth started to bleed.
Elvira, who climbed on his hip and looked down at him, soon bit her lower lip.
As it was, he bent down and embraced Clevius’ head, sniffing at his bloody figure.
“You… you really are a stupid man… Clevius… you… idiot…”
“…”
The midnight moon was shining.
There were only two people in the front yard of the shop, where only silence remained.
“…Yeah, I think so too…”
A body that lacks strength.
Looking at the open night sky over Elvira’s shoulder, who was holding her head, Clevius agreed with Elvira’s opinion.
Like that, Elvira and Clevius lay side by side for a while.
*
“Run away for now.”
I concluded that
The amount of gold and silver treasures in Lortel’s underground vault is not something that can be collected right now.
With enough time and space, this level of manipulation can be done in no time. It’s just a matter of moving these riches to another place.
However, Dune’s plan wouldn’t be so lax. If the board was set up like this, the imperial convoy would come soon.
“I was planning to stage the situation like this and hand you over to the imperial escort. Since Princess Persica, who has the real power of the knights as her own, is behind her, things must be quick and easy.”
“That’s why I said that when the vacation is over, the company will be completely in Dune’s hands.”
Lortel said with a stiff expression.
“But… it will take quite a while for the imperial convoy to reach Aken Island. Did you think I wouldn’t be able to handle this kind of trick during that time?”
“No, the convoy is probably already coming. It’s likely… it’s highly likely they’re coming mixed with Princess Penia’s escort.”
At those words, Lortel hardened her expression.
It was a pretty reliable prediction. It is also connected to the reason why he prophesied that Lortel would collapse once the vacation was over.
By the time the vacation is over, Princess Penia will return to her school, so the convoy of knights who joined her escort will also arrive around that time.
In other words, Lortel is bound to be captured by the imperial convoy at the end of the vacation.
It was all planned according to the timing.
“There’s nothing good about facing the imperial convoy right now. While I’m persuading Princess Penia, you need to run away so you don’t get caught by the convoy.”
“That’s easy. Aken Island is wide.”
“It won’t be easy to run away if you make up your mind to search. Besides, since Princess Penia doesn’t trust you… she won’t particularly stop the convoy from searching. Even the academic will become enemies, so there won’t be anyone to help you hide. “
“In the meantime, is your senior trying to convince Princess Penia?”
“Yes. I won’t betray you, so don’t worry.”
I led Lortel’s arm back towards the camp.
The characteristic air seeping through the night forest tickled his lungs.
In the middle of the night, Lortel is strangely mysterious, unlike usual.
Even a fox-like face hides in the darkness of the night, and its sinister appearance is bound to stand out even more.
Lortel, who held my collar tightly, made eye contact with me and smiled softly before long.
“I don’t worry. Because you are my person.”
Lortel lifted her tiptoe and whispered in my ear.
“I am also a senior.”
As if that insignificant word could satisfy a strange feeling of happiness in his heart, Lortel smiled hintingly and put on her robe hat.
“Let’s meet again after the work is finished. I will continue to be the owner of Elte Firm. Please stay as a senior, too.”
“okay.”
Lortel disappears as if it seeps into the darkness of the night.
Close your eyes gently.
I sat quietly in the dark, holding my breath, accepting the tension between the camps.
Princess Fenia’s carriage crosses the Maxes Bridge.
Crossing the midnight air, the carriage carrying Princess Fenia and Lucy Mayril enters the Isle of Aken.
And Taily, who broke through the entrance of Elte Firm and entered… Climb the upper stairs and run to the second floor.
The story goes that way.
It was around the time that the ordeal swordsman, Taily, reached the second floor of the merchant building.
Ziggs Eiffelstein sits alone in a hallway full of weapons. He was quietly breathing in the early morning air.
He slowly raised his head.
Taylor didn’t even doubt her eyes.
Whoever gets in the way… The guardian of the northern grasslands, Ziggs Eiffelstein himself, was right.
