Chapter 29. Above the one who runs, there is the one who flies. (10)
“Hehe, good, good… … .”
The old woman, Josephine, sat back and admired the sight brought about by her magic. The humans within sight were truly crazy.
thud! thud!
From the person who hit his head on a tree,
“Hihi! Hehehe! “It tickles!”
A person who scratches himself with his fingernails until the skin peels off,
“die! “Die!”
Even a person who swings a sword at random towards the people he is supposed to protect.
“It looks very nice…” … “Heulheul.”
Josephine, who was walking leisurely, suddenly stopped.
“huh?”
This is because a young man was standing unharmed in front of her.
“Hey, old lady.”
A grotesque voice and a cocky tone. Everything looks pitch black from head to toe, and the leisurely atmosphere makes you feel like you’re just here to have fun.
“… … aha.”
Josephine smiled happily on her wrinkled face.
‘Is it the Black Knight?’
His rumor also reached the woman who was hiding in the wizard’s tower. A person who caused an uproar throughout the empire and is said to be one of the most powerful men in the empire.
‘I really wanted to meet you.’
Of course, it wasn’t for leisurely getting an autograph from the Black Knight.
“Oh my, I’m alive, I’m alive!”
Josephine’s face suddenly turned bright red and she ran towards the black knight.
“Master Black Knight! “It’s finally appeared!”
Don’t forget to pretend to limp with your good leg.
“Looks like people have suddenly gone crazy! “Please save me!”
This way, most humans would welcome her without question.
A wrinkled face, graying hair, and a small, shriveled body. Because he was just an ordinary old man who was not a threat to anyone.
Josephine took advantage of this to gain easy access to the mansion and lead people into wild fantasies.
‘There is no doubt that he is famous for being just.’
A dark desire waved between Josephine’s wrinkled eyes.
“… … .”
The black knight just stared at her blankly. With a face that doesn’t reveal her true feelings.
“Eh, ugh. “Thank you.”
Thanks to this, Josephine was able to easily reach in front of him. And upon arrival,
Perfect!
I snapped my fingers and activated the magic I had prepared.
Shrug-
An eye-shaped mark appeared in front of the black knight. Shining with an insidious green light.
“This… … .”
The Black Knight’s muttering mouth gradually slowed down. As if time had stopped, his movements also stopped.
“This is an illusion magic that shows what the opponent fears most.”
Josephine stared at him, frozen like a statue.
“Is there really anything to fear from the black knight of the world? “I’m really curious about what you’re looking at, hehe.”
I happily clap my wrinkled and gnarled hands.
“… … .”
There was no change in the Black Knight’s expression. But inside, I was fighting a terrifying illusion that was tormenting me.
Plop, plod.
Josephine slowly circled around him.
“Hehehehe, foolish… … .”
Humans have a tendency to judge others by only looking at their appearance.
The same was true for this black knight. He too was deceived by Josephine’s appearance and let down his guard, giving him a loophole.
“Go on and cry like crazy, okay?”
Once the Black Knight was completely enamored, the plan was to make her a doll.
Isn’t he the ‘Black Knight’? It would be more fun than playing with other ordinary humans.
“You have a nice body. “I like it very much.”
Josephine stretched out her hand towards the black knight’s body. It was a well-proportioned body that was even more mouth-watering when seen up close.
Just before her hand touched the black knight,
widely.
Suddenly there was a hand grabbing my wrist.
“Don’t touch me.”
It was a black knight with pitch-black eyes that sparkled fiercely. He didn’t lose his temper and had clear eyes.
Josephine froze in place.
“Uh, how?”
Instead of answering, the black knight moved his arms.
Sigh!
A black blade suddenly appeared and pierced Josephine’s heart.
“Ouch… … .”

Josephine’s body was bent like a shrimp.
It was a pain beyond imagination. It’s as if the raw flesh is torn away and the heart is grabbed and twisted by a giant’s hand.
“how… … .”
Even though she felt that her life was ending, Josephine strained her voice to answer the last question.
“Welcome, that.”
The Black Knight kindly answered her questions.
“I experienced it and it was nothing special.”
Shoo!
The sword was pulled from Josephine’s body with lightning speed.
“This guy is much worse.”
The black knight waved his sword at Josephine. A pitch-black sword stained with a thick layer of malice.
‘This girl… … three… … ?’
Josephine died without being able to close her eyes. At the same time, all the magic she had cast on her was lifted.
“Lord, die! porridge… … “Uh huh?”
“Ugh, huh. omg.”
“uh? “The monster is gone!”
People’s actions stopped for a moment. Everyone was looking around, not knowing what to do.
Then I found it.
Her own blood-stained body and the people around her who were no longer breathing.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh!”
“Ahhhh! why!”
“Open your eyes, Renald. please!”
Illusion magic.
It was a cruel magic that left more severe scars after awakening than when it was consumed by the illusion.
“… … .”
The black knight, Abel, looked at the figure blankly and then turned around.
“brother.”
Ekarot approached him as he hid himself in the darkness.
“really… … are you okay?”
Ekarot looked at Abel’s face closely. Because illusion magic inflicts great psychological shock on the person who is hit.
“I told you there was nothing to worry about.”
Abel smiled brightly as if nothing had happened.
“But it’s a little annoying.”
Then he furrowed his brows slightly.
“What vision did you see?”
Ekarot asked cautiously, thinking that Abel might not answer.
“What a disgusting guy.”
Surprisingly, Abel answered readily.
“It was even more disgusting knowing it was an illusion.”
A faint smile crossed Abel’s lips. He flicked his gauntlet and clicked his tongue.
“Anyway, it’s evil. But what about all wizards?”
“Not all of them.”
Ekarot quickly answered.
“Even within the Wizard’s Tower, there are only a few people who are willing to follow Midnell’s, or rather Sienna’s, orders.”
Because I didn’t want to be treated like those who died by Abel.
“Those people were subject to Midnell’s management in the tower. “He had some accidents both before and after becoming a wizard.”
“That’s why Midnell brought them to the Wizard’s Tower.”
Abel nodded heavily.
“To prevent harsh behavior outside. “It would be better to keep him under me and watch over him.”
“uh… … .”
Ekarot only blinked for a moment. Abel’s tone made it sound as if she knew the situation well.
“Even in the original, I was running around like this… … .”
So I couldn’t hear Abel’s small murmur.
“At that time, we attacked the capital together with Ekarot.”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
At Ekarot’s question, Abel turned to him. His gaze, which was difficult to discern his true intentions, briefly captured Eka Lot’s bewildered face.
“don’t mind. “Because it’s in the past.”
Abel sighed softly and ruffled Ekarot’s hair.
“Ah, bro! “Why do you keep touching your head?”
Ekarot cried and avoided his hand.
“Because it’s soft.”
Abel withdrew his hand and chuckled.
“If you feel unfair, you can become bigger than me. Of course, that day will never come.”
“Because it’s going to get bigger?!”
Ekarot’s nose fluttered wildly. He quieted down only after Abel pinched his nose.
“Let’s go.” “You know what to do, right?”
“yes. But will it really be as you said?”
Ekarot stroked his nose and remembered what Abel had said before.
The words were so firm and confident, and the content was hard to believe.
“Without a doubt.”
Abel grinned.
It was the smile of someone who knew what others did not know and saw what others could not see.

Puzzle!
A portal opens in the central hall of the Wizard’s Tower,
“Ugh!”
Ekarot jumped out from there. As soon as he crossed his portal he waved his hand and closed it.
“Ekarot!”
“are you okay?”
The wizards who had been standing in a huddle hurriedly gathered around him. Most of them were people who failed their mission and returned to the Wizard’s Tower early.
“ha. ha.”
Ekarot fell to the floor and gasped. There were small scratches on his white cheeks, and his neat clothes were covered in dirt.
“What happened?”
“Are you hurt much?”
When the wizards asked with concern, Ekarot quickly got up from his seat.
“are you okay. “Because there are no injuries.”
“Then why… … .”
“Ekarot.”
A cold voice interrupted someone’s question.
“Did you handle your task well?”
Sienna, with a cold face, approached hurriedly. She had already had a big fight with the wizards who returned first.
“You’re sure you haven’t failed too, right?”
Ekarot realized the thorn in Sienna’s words.
But instead of reacting,
“I failed too.”
By responding innocently, I gave Sienna a punch.
“… … .”
Sienna frowned. Before she said anything,
“Eh? really?!”
“Nonsense!”
The surrounding wizards were shocked first.
“Ekarot’s magic is the best… … .”
“The best among us… … .”
Some people who had spoken out of anger shrugged their shoulders and said, “Oops.” They secretly looked at Sienna’s feelings.
“… … okay. I can’t believe a wizard of your caliber would fail. “It’s amazing.”
Sienna spoke in a calm voice, as if nothing had happened.
“It wouldn’t have been that difficult. “Tell me in detail what happened.”
“The Black Knight.”
Ekarot lowered his face as if he was tired.
“I couldn’t do anything because he showed up.”
“… … .”
“He’s so fast and strong. “He almost died.”
The voice was clear enough for everyone in the hall to hear.
“oh my god. That ‘black knight’ appeared?”
“That man is famous for defeating the evils of the empire… … .”
“So the Black Knight defined us as evil?”
The wizards’ eyes and mouths opened wide.
“What’s this… … . “Why did this happen?”
“You’re treated like a complete traitor to the empire… … .”
“It’s okay to be like this… … ?”
The wizards looked at each other and whispered. Some of the more sensitive people could not bear it and even had tears in their eyes.
“… … .”
Sienna clenched her fists in the sleeves of her clothes.
‘As expected, you’re in the way.’
I expected the Black Knight to appear. But he didn’t know that even Eka Lot would be defeated by him.
‘No. Ekarot is not familiar with anti-human magic.’
This is a guy who creates useless things using magic. So it was clear that he was unable to stop the black knight who was charging recklessly.
‘Josephine’s team will be fine.’
That was the team that Sienna sent to the noble house on purpose. By selecting only the particularly violent troublemakers and putting them in.
‘They must have come to their senses because they are nobles who value their lives.’
Other than that, the other teams had quite a few reliable wizards – by Siena’s standards.
Did they say that fellow countrymen recognize fellow countrymen?
Sienna could see everything.
Those who hide their true nature and act calm under Midnell’s watch. Those who harbored as much cruelty as Sienna, and were prepared to reveal it at any moment.
‘Everyone will return safely. Soon the emperor will no longer be able to bear it and will declare surrender.’
Sienna believed this and calmed her agitated heart. But things did not go as she hoped.
next day.
“Wizard disappear!”
“Leave the empire! “Don’t come back again!”
“Everyone get out of here!”
Angry crowds gathered like bees in front of the wizard’s tower.
They expressed their anger by throwing eggs and vegetables. The magic barrier blocked the thrown objects, but it could not stop their angry cries.
“The world’s most vicious bastards!”
“You guys are still the same people!”
Sienna stood at the window and looked at the humans outside.
“why… … ?”
I couldn’t understand.
They had to fear and revere wizards. But why are their gazes filled with only hatred and contempt?
It was then.
“If the Ardante family hadn’t rebelled… … .”
“This is all because of the Ardante family!”
Murmurs of anger began among the crowd.
“-!”
Sienna’s face hardened fiercely.
