Episode 578
Melon clenched his fist slightly.
Veins bulged and muscles swelled. A black, soft ‘spirit’ began to bloom on the outside.
To be clear, it was not something that a child of that age could create.
When was it?
To be honest, I feel a bit awkward saying this, but it was when I was doing volunteer work at the academy.
Melon never stopped practicing. It was the mindset that her father and mother had taught her.
Understand mana, understand the spirit beyond it, understand nature, understand the world.
I was never complacent. I always tried to improve myself at every moment. I always practiced what I learned from my teacher, Cell.
Every moment of carrying the shit was a training session for Melon.
Cell told 12-year-old Melon:
‘I guarantee you, you have more talent than anyone in this world. Remember that.’
Melon knows her own talent.
Those who are born without talent and those who are born with outstanding talent inevitably start from different points of view.
Even if Melon himself temporarily puts aside the name Daniel and uses a pseudonym, his essence will not change.
After thinking about it over and over again, I realized something.
I could become a master and beyond right now.
I guess I can transcend humans.
It was really simple.
It was so transcendent.
In a sewer where the stench of shit spreads like crazy, Melon ascended to transcendence without anyone’s blessing.
I didn’t feel any feelings of disappointment or anything like that.
If I hadn’t used the pseudonym Melon, I would have received blessings from so many people.
The sole heir of the Milos Empire became a Transcendent before he was even a young age.
It didn’t matter.
Cell said.
With great power comes great responsibility.
‘I don’t know about others, but you definitely have to feel a sense of responsibility. Of course.’
of course.
‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t do that. You can commit murder as you please, commit crimes against nature, be drunk on power to satisfy your personal desires, treat those weaker than you as tools, and consider the value of life to be mere numbers. But if you do that, the world will become a very difficult place. I will have to make difficult choices, and Jack and Valentine will all have to make difficult choices. If that’s what you want, then you can do that.’
Melon vowed to use this talent she possessed for the right purpose.
I was determined not to be shaken by any storm.
That’s why I became an inspector.
Melon watched the situation unfolding before her blankly.
“Why did you say that you were looking for a dead person?”

In front of Jason was ‘Ryan Crycastle’.
Even though his face has changed, there’s no reason why Melon, and even Jason, wouldn’t be able to see through it.
Because Jason was an intermediate master and Melon was already a transcendent.
How should I explain it?
There are countless ‘Masters’ not only in the Eastern Continent but also in the Western Continent.
In particular, the number of masters has increased exponentially.
There were two reasons.
One reason was the fight between Jack Milos and Ragnarok that took place in the past. At that time, Ragnarok died.
At the same time, when Ragnarok died, the mana he held was spread throughout the world, and the amount was enormous.
It should be said that it is enough to increase the mana concentration of the entire world by at least three or four levels.
In the first place, the existence called Ragnarok, which was almost the world itself, was completely dismantled and killed by Jack.
The enormous power he had built up could not have been completely destroyed. Ragnarok’s death changed the ‘common sense’ of the entire world.
And the second was the influence of Jack Milos.
Jack sees mana with his own eyes, so completely, that others cannot see it.
That is why, when practicing mana, you can find the most optimal place because you can see all the directions in which the mana moves.
In this way, he created a method to cultivate mana and spread that method throughout the world.
That method has no name.
Because Emperor Jack Milos said that it was a method that didn’t even have a name in the first place.
But there were so many people who benefited from that method.
So, they call that method [Milos Method].
The world has changed so much.
But still, there were few who could break through the wall of transcendence.
Even though it’s been over 18 years since the end of Jack and Ragnarok, there are only three people who have become transcendent, excluding Melon.
Considering that these three were the Red Masters who had been behind the scenes for a long time, it would be accurate to say that there were almost none.
Jason Leopold is an intermediate master.
Polymorph magic can be seen through to some extent.
“Ryan Crycastle is dead. He’s been buried for years, and now you’re suddenly here looking for him? Do you think I’m Ryan?”
“You’re pretty good at evading criticism.”
“Not to evade my words, but I’m not Ryan Crycastle, I’m Jamie Crycastle. There’s already talk everywhere about the collateral damage, and now the Central Inspectorate? Who on earth is it? Who moved the Inspectorate?”
Jason’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“Hey, there’s a saying that you can’t take back words. You’re not just moving the inspector general, you’re moving the inspection office? There’s nothing you can’t do.”
It was simple. Ryan’s words could now be interpreted to mean that the Inspector General’s Office was under someone’s thumb.

In other words, the Inspector General’s Office was criticized as an organization that cleans up after anyone.
But Ryan wasn’t an ordinary person either.
To become a evader in the first place, it takes more than just courage. You have to be crazy.

“You can’t say no. Isn’t this too much? What do you hope to gain by pressuring the Earl of Craycastle like that?”
Jason snickered. This little shit.
“I wonder what you believe in. Let me see what cards you’re holding.”
That pattern was not revealed by Jason.
There was a man walking slowly through the crowd. The man arrived at the place where the main gate was broken and the elite knights and magicians of the Earl of Craycastle had gathered, a place of chaos. He looked around and opened his mouth in a quiet voice.
“You’re from the Central Inspection Office?”
“Yes. This is Jason Leopold from the Central Inspector General’s Violent Crimes Unit.”
Jason paused for a moment, then sighed and continued.
“Are you the one who’s going to lose?”
“You… … . Listen, you may be an inspector now, but in the future, you will be the next Duke of the Marquis Leopold… no, the Duke Leopold. We will both be in the same noble world, so let’s not blush.”
The man who spoke like that was named Oswald.
His full name is Oswald Craycastle, the current Earl of Craycastle.
“You need a justification, right? I will give you one.”
The Earl of Craycastle took out a small crystal ball from his bosom.
“I am the Earl of Castle. I must come for a moment.”
A sigh escaped from beyond the crystal ball. Soon, a swarm of light began to burst out between Oswald and Jason.
It’s a teleport.
Another uninvited guest has appeared.
He was an old man. An old man with long hair.
He was short and stood in front of Oswald, looking up at him while carrying his luggage on his back.
“I should have said clearly that it was a vacation. Is our Earl of Clycastle already deaf at such a young age?”
“I know. I just hope you understand that I had no choice but to call Baekgok-nim even though I knew.”
The man called Baekgok turned his head. As soon as he saw his face, Jason and Melon, who was watching from afar, were surprised.
Baekgok.
When I heard the name, I was skeptical.
Long ago, Jack Milos saved a group.
That group was a people who lived on an island in the middle of the Black Sea, and they were the origin of the Taoist dynasty that currently rules the Western Continent.
There are beings called Grandmasters in the Dojo, and these Grandmasters are necessarily composed of Masters. There are three warriors who manage the Grandmasters.
One of those three warriors is Baekgok.
From then until now, he has been a member of the Taoist school and sits in the position of the third warrior who manages the Taoist school’s great warriors.
“Central Inspection Office? Look here, young man. It looks like there has been some kind of mistake. Please leave.”
The corners of Jason’s mouth slowly curled up.
Baekgok continues speaking while looking at Jason like that.
“Central Inspection Office, it’s a great organization. It’s an organization that sometimes handles ‘our work’ for us. But sometimes they make mistakes. Do you know what I mean? You made a mistake right now. So, you can leave.”
“I understand that the Taoist temple is not open to private intervention.”
Advertisements
“so?”
“That wasn’t the answer I expected, so… … . Um, I’m asking just in case, have you received anything?”
“… … .”
“A Taoist temple has a job to do, but is this what a Taoist temple should be doing right now? Am I the only one who thinks like this?”
“Haha, young man, you really are deaf. I told you clearly. Just go away.”
“I don’t like it.”
“……what?”
“Well, what should I call this? Should I call it a moon strike? I never thought one of the three warriors of the Taoist temple would be caught.”
The reason Jason laughed was simple.
Melon said clearly. He would give me one.
That number has just appeared.
“Look, don’t you know what the situation is right now?”
“I don’t know.”
“If I make a gesture, you and everyone else in there will die. Do you know what I’m going to say to the consulate?”
“Do you need to know that?”
“You should know. Jason Leopold, the eldest son of Marquis Leopold. In the near future, Marquis Leopold will become a duke, but if there is a big problem, that will be postponed. Maybe the plan itself will disappear.”
Jason looked at Baekgok quietly as if he was listening to him. Baekgok continued.
“The eldest son of the Marquis Leopold, in his capacity as an inspector, pressured the consul with outrageous pranks… … . He pointed a knife at the consul… … . He rebelled against the Empire of Milos… … . What will happen then?”
“… … .”
“The Leopold family will be worried about the extinction of the family. So, you should go now. Let’s not make a big deal out of each other. People, it’s good to be motivated, but shouldn’t you at least distinguish between what you should and shouldn’t do? I’ll come see you next time with a nice gift of mine, so let’s call it a day.”
Jason started to say things that Baekgok had never thought of saying.
“Baekgok, one of the three warriors of the Taoist temple, I hereby place you under emergency arrest for obstructing official duties.”
“… … He was crazy.”
Jason just snapped his fingers.
Then, the investigators who had been waiting outside began to pour in. There were at least a hundred of them.
“… … Haa, that’s why young people… … . Tsk, ah-ha-ya. Don’t regret it after you die, it’s not too late even now. Let it all out.”
Jason snapped his fingers once more and winked one eye.
“Okay, add the intimidation charge.”
Slowly, a ‘red haze’ began to rise from Baekgok’s body. It was clear evidence of the Red Master.
At this point, Jason felt a pang inside, but he didn’t show it.
“… … I never thought the reputation of the Taoist temple would fall to this extent. How dare a mere inspector dare to do so.”
Baekgok began to walk slowly. Life rose from his body and Jason swallowed inwardly.
This is no joke.
“I think things will be sorted out if you die. Yes, if you die, that’s enough. Let’s say it was an accident, or if you were possessed by a demon while practicing. And I’ll make sure that no harm comes to the Leopold family.”
His hand goes up. Red mana coalesces and covers his hand.
Advertisements
“There will be no pain. Goodbye.”
The hand is swung.
Jason didn’t even close his eyes. Scared? Yeah, honestly, he was scared. Who wouldn’t be scared when the Red Master walks towards them with his eyes glaring like that?
And it’s not just any red, it’s the white one that is famous for becoming a transcendent being in the near future.
However, Jason also had beliefs.
Baekgok’s arm, which had been stretching out, was caught in the middle. Suddenly, the arm stopped.
Baekgok turns his head. Jason turns his head too.
The one holding Baekgok’s arm was Melon.
Melon was looking at Baekgok while also emitting red mana.
“… …Who are you?”
“Does that matter?”
“… … asked who it was.”
Melon’s gaze was on Baekgok, but she didn’t say anything to him.
“I’ll kill half of them, so catch the rest. Starting with Ryan and ending with the head of the household over there.”
Jason, who was behind her, nodded. This was what Jason believed.
Jason doesn’t know Melon’s exact powers, but he does know one thing for sure.
Melon was already a ‘Red Master’ since she was a second-year student at the Academy.
I never told anyone else about it. I never used it to campaign.
Jason asked.
“Shall I help you after you’re done?”
“Okay. You don’t need any help.”
Melon put strength into her hands.
Woodduck.
“Ouch.”
“A kid like this can do well alone.”
Jason turned around. He had seen what kind of man Melon was.
Jason smiled brightly as he looked at the people of the Earldom of Craycastle who had no idea what was going on.
“Okay, I’ll serve you the full course.”
The knights of the Earl of Craycastle began to rush towards Jason, who was talking while rubbing his hands together.
