Part 2 Episode 45
inspector general
The Inspection Bureau did not stop researching demons for a long time.
To exterminate the ever-proliferating enemies of humanity.
But after going through the Great Hemp War.
they thought
“This is not enough.”
“We cannot stop demons simply by studying them and taking away their power.”
“It’s simply a matter of putting stones on one side and blocking the hole on the other side.”
“To prevent flooding.”
“The survival of humanity.”
“For the well-being of the imperial family.”
“We need more power.”
After a long discussion, the thirteen directors of the inspection bureaus, excluding Bureau 0, gathered in one place and discussed.
I came to one conclusion.
“Mervinger.”
“Now let’s take the power of the collapsing magic inscription into our hands.”
“If you do that.”
You will be able to pursue survival and well-being, and even more valuable glory and prosperity.

‘I thought I was just watching… ‘It wasn’t that bad after all, right?’
Now I know for sure.
The fact that the inspection bureau and the imperial family had a deep hand in the family’s downfall.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know.
Isn’t this a family that has enjoyed movies for over a thousand years?
It was even evaluated that it had entered a new era of renaissance during the Great Demon War.
Therefore, no matter how early the two heads of the family died, it did not make sense for them to suffer such a rapid decline.
So, the imperial family must have been on the sidelines… I was expecting that.
But there was a big difference between making a prediction and confirming it as fact.
And even more so if there was active intervention there.
‘Grandpa.’
It was absurd.
‘Was your sacrifice really worth it?’
For the continent, for the imperial family.
And for the people there.
The result of our ancestors risking their lives to protect it is to be treated like this.
I thought that perhaps the reason why the Magic Tower helped its vassal family leave was something the imperial family had planned behind the scenes.
Considering that they all swore loyalty to the imperial family in the end.
The story of how he and his older sister, Hayes, had suffered while being ignored so quickly ran through his mind.
Crack!
Elric’s fist gained strength.
“You’d better think about it carefully.”
“What do you mean?”
“I have a lot of questions I want to ask.”
Konoten answered with a wry smile.
“If you can overpower me. Of course, it won’t be easy, right?”
Knock knock knock-
As if he had nothing more to hide, he developed the remaining power of the seal even more.
A small horn sprouted from Konoten’s forehead. At the same time, the sword and arm were connected, forming a bizarre shape.
Pajijik, pajijijik!
The brain energy mixed with the black magic energy blooming in a cloud.
Drop, drop.
Cheeeee-
A rotten smell emanated from the place where the demonic energy fell on the floor.
Now, Elric was clearly losing the battle.
Konoten felt that he had won with that alone.
… At least on the outside.
‘Even though I pushed myself this far mentally.’
There, Konoten was devouring the flagship in his heart.
‘How can you not be agitated even once?’
The power was completely destroyed.
The strategy has been completed.
In the martial arts school. And for a wizard, nothing could be more terrible than this.
Despite actually showing such skill, Elric never showed any sign of wavering.
That wasn’t all.
Mervinger has been the main target of the Inspection Bureau and the imperial family for a long time.
Even the fact that he strengthened his power by using the power of demons.
Even though it clearly mocks the star mage who chose to sacrifice himself for humanity.

The fact that he wasn’t even angry felt even more bizarre to Konoten.
Should I say that it doesn’t look like a person?
Look at it now.
When you look at that grave face, doesn’t it feel like you’re looking at a doll that doesn’t even have any emotions?
Elric’s green eyes showed no sign of anything, to the point where he wondered if it was Mervinger who was angry and harassing them just a moment ago.
At least if you’re a human being, it’s not strange at all to get angry!
That made Konoten a little anxious.
I was wondering if I was missing something about Elric.
‘no. There is nothing like that. We were perfect!’
Excluding Bureau 0, the 13 inspection bureaus have different operating systems under the direction of different directors.
Because of this, there were many cases where opinions differed between countries.
That was the reason why only the 2nd and 5th countries knew the information analyzed about Elric and the East.
Because their political direction was very different from that of Country 1.
It was hidden as a secret weapon to be used when Elric and Dongbu cause trouble someday.
Although it was unexpected that I brought this up first.
‘Anyway, if I erase him here, everything will end. We will completely take control of Mervinger’s power!’
Konoten decided to use this as a stepping stone to opportunity.
The imperial family. Inspector General. As a stepping stone to further develop the empire!
Gooooo-
The magic energy that was spreading towards the sky suddenly took the form of huge wings.
“Pour it out.”
Rumbling!
The wings seemed to fold into one, and a huge pillar of lightning struck down where Elric was.
Kwa-rung, Kwa-rung, Kwa-rung!
Elric started running while holding the ice spear in one hand.
Lightning struck quickly wherever he stood.
The enormous destructive power created a crater about 5 meters in size, and a strong stench of acidic liquid wafted from the place, with black miasma flying in the air.
Thunderbolt and plague. An effect created by mixing two types of seals.
“Let’s see how long you can run away like a rat!”
Konoten became elated little by little.
I thought Elric was avoiding the fight because he didn’t have the courage to face him head on.
‘okay. Mervinger, Mervinger, there was a lot of talk… Still, it’s just a baby! Even if he showed activity in the East, in the end he was just a frog in the well, just food for the vegetables!’
I thought that the poker face that had surprised him for a moment was nothing more than a bluff that only seemed believable on the surface.
However, the problem was that as they continued to run away, only the nearby agents were harmed.
Chiiik!
“Kwaaaak!”
“Kuheook!”
“Uh, Director… !”
“Please stop… !”
The results of people who were struck by lightning were usually divided into two types.
Either your body will be torn apart by the intense brain energy, or you will be infected with a miasma and die like an old tree.
But Konoten didn’t care about that at all.
It was possible to compensate for the damage to the lower level.
The only thing that matters is catching Elric.
But that escape doesn’t last long.
Not only did the distance between Lightning and Elric become closer, but they even succeeded in pushing them to the desired point.
This was also one of the strategies obtained after studying Elric.
Rabbit herding.
And by the time Elric had reached the desired point.
“Explode!”
Just as the poisonous essence had been stored together, the poisonous essence that had been previously buried in a trap exploded.
Kwa-rung, Kwa-rung, Kwa-rung-
Kwakwakwakwa!
A wild pillar of flame engulfed Elric, followed by a cloud of whitish smoke.
‘now!’
Konoten kicked the ground roughly and threw himself into the poisonous fog.
And the swinging sword.
The sword energy cut through the poisonous fog and reached Elric at the center of it.
Because of the thick fog, Elric could not be seen very well.
Chaaaaang!
Squeak-
However, I was able to tell thanks to the feeling of the strike from the sword.
The ice spear that Elric was proud of was cut down cruelly.
just as expected.
Elric was seen helplessly jumping out from behind the poison fog.
“It’s really over now.”
Konoten swung his sword repeatedly in order not to lose the victory. In addition to the existing explosion, the sword energy exerted as a seal of monstrous power acted as if it would cut Elric to pieces at any moment.
Chop-chop-
Not only the ice spears, but also the cover structures that had been erected were falling apart one by one.
“finished!”
Konoten struck down his sword violently, confident of victory.
Quaaaang!
Elric barely managed to summon an ice spear to block the vertical attack, and his knees were slightly bent.
Gagagagagagak!
Konoten gritted his teeth and put a lot of weight on his sword, as if he was going to crush him to death.
Sparks flew wildly. As her ice spear split little by little, the magic sword overflowing with sword energy growled as if it would fall on the top of Erado Elric’s head at any moment.
“How about Mervinger’s power?”
Konoten laughed at Elric, who was still insensitive even in the face of death.
ridicule.
Or contempt.
“I can assure you that the Mervinger power you seem to have restored is not ‘real’. you don’t know And your ancestors didn’t know either. There was ‘real’ power.”
Konoten decided to show his last remaining mercy to his foolish descendant who was born with the great name Mervinger but did not know how great it was.
“past. A very distant mythical era that few people now remember. At that time, which was not even recorded, Mervinger was invincible and undefeated. And what made it possible was the power to swallow demons and manifest them as one’s own.”
As it is, it is handled with utmost secrecy even within the Inspection Bureau. Even though it was a project that was kept secret even from Country 1 and managed by Country 0, it should never have been revealed.
Still, I was thinking that this might be okay.
“The Mervinger you have left now is nothing more than a shell. You are but a shadow, Mervinger’s blood descendant. Still, I think it is our tribute to Mervinger that we ended up with the substance inside.”
Kwasik!
“Just die.”
Along with Konoten’s actions, the hand holding the sword was filled with strength.
As a result, the ice spear will break, and Elric will be cut in half and die.
That’s what I thought.
Paaaa-
The ice spear did not budge. The sword didn’t move either.
As if frozen.
In fact, a lot of pure white frost could be seen coming up the black sword body.
“… !”
Konoten unconsciously let go of his sword and fell backwards due to the intuition given by the seal.
썣썄죤 죣!
At that moment, the sword that had been attacking Elric a moment ago was covered in ice, and a bunch of ice picks popped out from under the ground.
and.
Konoten could see.
For the first time, murderous intent appeared in Elric’s previously emotionless pupils.
“That was it? What you guys believed. “It wasn’t just about studying our family.”
Why?
Oh so soso. Goosebumps spread all over my body.
Even though he clearly has the upper hand both in terms of momentum and in terms of battle.
For some reason, I felt afraid.
“I found it by chance. The graves of our ancestors. While excavating there, he found out our secret. yes?”
The reason why the Inspection Bureau was able to take away the seal and return it to power.
The moment Elric faced the hidden truth, he could no longer suppress his anger.
The tombs of our ancestors awaiting future descendants.
The precious souls of those who have anxiously drawn their own hands.
It was being polluted by their dirty hands.
Wizard who swallowed talent
