Part 2 Episode 44
inspector general
However, Elric had no choice but to stop walking soon after.
“Where are you going, Mervinger?”
Rumbling!
Something fell vertically in front of Elric.
A sword energy filled with concentrated brain energy.
Elric quickly changed direction to increase the distance, and a thunderbolt exploded at the spot where he had been a moment ago.
Quack, quack, quack, quack-
At the same time, the explosion spread in all directions like a spider’s web and seemed as if it would tear everything apart.
‘strong.’
Elric intuitively knew that the opponent was different from the agents he had dealt with so far.
A skill that will never be inferior to that of Director Black.
No, judging from the way he made his skin tingle, he seemed to be a stronger person who was far superior to him in terms of skill.
Whihwihwi… !
A man with a cruel expression appeared through the slightly exposed cloud of dust.
Director of Inspection Department 5. Konoten appeared.
“You can’t take a single step away from here anymore.”
“hey. I’m a bit busy right now. “Could you please move out of the way?”
He spoke in an irritated voice, but Konoten didn’t even pretend to listen.
Pajijik, pajijijik!
A large amount of brain energy was released again from the sword Konoten was holding.
Elric was able to quickly realize that it was a hex that was similar to magic, but had a completely different nature from magic.
Magic follows established laws, but the magic went much further into the realm of the unknown and mystery.
Magi.
The seal is being activated.
“A traitor who discredited the imperial family and colluded with the revolutionary army. “I’ll erase it from here.”
Quad Deuk!
Because of the use of the reverse blood banding method, his body gradually swelled.
At the same time, demon energy explodes like a volcano exploding.
Let’s go!
Following the demonic energy, the power of the brain energy also increased.
『It’s not clear because it’s so distorted, but it seems to have the seals of ‘Thunderstorm’, ‘Monstrous Strength’, and ‘Plague’.』
Mephisto’s face looked like he was seeing something he couldn’t see.
Well, since he is also a demon, the inspection bureau’s reckless use of the seal, which is the true name of a demon, must be even more unpleasant.
[What characteristics does each have?]
『… Do I really need to tell you that?』
[You said you don’t like humans messing with seals?]
『As I said before, a seal is not a simple phenomenon or force. For the demons, it is the source, root and soul. Who can be good at playing with it like a toy?』
[So, I’m asking you to tell me. We need to destroy those villains, right? They say they’re not even as good as demons.]
『… .』
Mephisto thought for a moment about what exactly those words meant, but his pondering did not last long.
『You can just take the word as it is. The seal of Noejeong contains Noeki in the energy it radiates. The most destructive and fastest force. However, since it puts a huge strain on the body, it seems that he backed it up with a seal of tremendous strength that strengthened his muscles.』
In short, it seems like the compatibility between seals has been well studied.
[What about the plague? I can’t connect to the other two at all.]
『It must be some kind of special move.』
[It’s like a secret weapon, isn’t it?]
『I think the goal is to slowly let the miasma seep in and destroy the enemy when they are in a hurry… .』
Mephisto frowned.
『Actually, that is just a word of plague, it cannot be said to be a real plague seal. Made by mixing strange things here and there… trash. okay. It’s trash. You have to get rid of it right away.』
Elric thought that he had rarely seen Mephisto this angry.
‘No, in some ways it’s natural.’
If we were to compare it to humans, should we say that it is a situation in which humans are used as experiments and strangely put together in an unknown form?
Mephisto clearly looked genuinely disgusted.
If he were an ordinary demon with a weak stomach, I wonder if he would have felt nauseous.
As Elric said.
The Inspection Bureau was so much trash that it even aroused disgust among the demons.
“You’re talking nonsense like that and discussing the royal family’s reputation?”
Of course, Elric couldn’t say anything good either.
“Are you even aware of the crazy things you’re saying?”
“Just like I heard, he’s leading from the snout. Let’s see if you’re good enough.”
Paaaaat-
Konoten’s new model has disappeared.
flight.
but.
“【Tie it up】.”
Elric was already waving his hands vigorously in the air.
Sigh!

Ice chains popped out one after another in the air.
Konoten, who was trying to rush at Elric, was fast, but Elric had already guessed his location based on his speed and direction.
Chop clap!
Thanks to this, Konoten appeared tied up right in front of Elric.
“… you!”
Konoten’s face hardened.
I tried to break the ice chain by exploding the brain energy, but it didn’t work as intended.
Divine power.
Before I knew it, Damir’s power had increased.
It might have been different if he had continued to take on human form, but the moment he channeled his demonic energy through the reverse blood match method, his divine power was bound to become rat poison.
Elric was aiming for this very moment.
Smirk!
Elric laughed coldly.
“Isn’t it crazy to charge bare-handed at a wizard whose job it is to always calculate things after dinner?”
Gooooo-
Elric roughly stretched out his hands towards the guy.
Magical power began to swirl from my hands like a storm.
At the same time, Shina’s seal glowed brightly and her body was covered in green.
Hahaha!
“【Dwell】, 【Dwell again】.”
The magic power turned into light imbued with divine power, and the wings spread wide behind the back, and the muscles that made up the body became stronger, improving physical abilities.
It was the power of Nahatram and Damir.
Double casting.
If it had been before, I wouldn’t have been able to solve it this easily.
Thanks to Shina’s seal, which was already growing rapidly in the inner world and spreading throughout the body, there was no longer any major problem.
The magic storm turned into an ice spear and created a flash of light.
The target is the bound heart of Konoten.
The idea was to shove the ice spear in and explode it from the inside.
If that were the case, not only would it be difficult for the seals that had been forced in to link with each other, but it would also be possible to destroy all demon energy with divine power.
“You’re right.”
Even in situations where divine power is in front of you.
Konoten was smiling.
“There is nothing more foolish than charging at a wizard with your bare body.”
Pajik, Pajijik-
“But if it was because I had some reason to trust it, I think the story would be different.”
Crumbling!
Suddenly, a brain energy exploded from beneath Konoten’s feet.
Chaechaechaechaeng-
And the ice pieces exploded all at once like broken glass.
‘how?’
Wedge!
Before I knew it, Konoten had arrived in front of Elric and was stretching out his hand.
“You have a face that makes me wonder what you did.”
It wasn’t that I couldn’t find out what principles Konoten used.
Nahatram’s quick visual acuity was able to figure out all of his hidden tricks.
Just before the ice chains appeared, it had removed a thunder sphere containing a lot of brain energy and hid it under the ground.
Using the mysterious power of the seal, magic was implanted in advance at a location slightly distant from the body.
In that case, even if the body was sealed with divine power, it was enough to activate the magic that was set aside at any time.
In other words, Konoten was ‘predicting’ that Elric would try to restrain his movements with divine power.
The problem is how did they know that Elric would pull out the ice chains and how did they respond accordingly?
“We are the inspector general. “His Majesty’s shadows are tasked with blocking and eliminating those who may interfere with the safety of the empire.”
The guy’s palm covered in demonic energy was covering Elric’s face.
“Of course, before dealing with an enemy, wouldn’t it be common sense to know his weaknesses in advance?”
Does that mean that the Inspection Bureau has already assumed that Elric is an enemy and has devised all possible means to deal with him?
In that case, it would not have been surprising if Elric’s attack pattern had been predicted in advance and such countermeasures had been prepared.
No, maybe he had information on Elric and everyone related to Elric.
‘Then why didn’t Black do that?’
So, a question arises here.
Why was Black, who can be said to be the pinnacle of the Inspector General, excluding Bureau 0, not properly dealing with Andre Wynz?
Numerous questions passed through Elric’s mind.
“【Soar】.”
But you can’t keep thinking about it.
Elric quickly stepped on the ground with his left foot.
Aggg enemy!
As the ice broke, a wall of ice rose high in front of Elric, widening the gap between him and Konoten.
As expected, it is an ice wall endowed with divine power.
Kwaaaaang!
Phrases-
Brain energy exploded in Konoten’s palm. A black burn mark was left along the spot where the palm touched, and sparks flew upward.
It growled as if it was going to break the ice wall at any moment, but the ice wall didn’t even nod.
“【Crush】!”
At that time, a huge wall of ice suddenly collapsed and rained down on Konoten’s head.
It looked as if his entire body would be shattered if he were crushed by ice chunks larger than a person’s head.
Even more so if it is a hail baptism imbued with divine power.
but.
Whirly!
Quarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm!
As Konoten violently rotated his body, the strong wind caused the brain energy to become mixed, and pieces of ice exploded like fireworks in the air.
“Didn’t I tell you? Mervinger, the investigation into you is already over.”
Konoten was confident.
No matter how much of a magic master Mervinger is, he will never be able to overcome his wall.
If it’s information, it’s information.
If you are powerless, you are powerless.
If it’s money, it’s money.
Don’t they have everything?
“We are different from stupid Blacks who thought everything was over just because they lined up the 4th prince. “You’d better not take it lightly.”
Whihwihwihwi-
Konoten laughed coldly and thrust his sword again.
From top to bottom. Again from bottom to top.
The sword strike, giving no time to rest, dug into Elric very persistently.
Then, the intermittent burst of lightning was so sharp that Elric was often pushed back.
『Have you even figured out Nahatram’s martial arts? You prepared harder than expected.』
While Mephisto’s eyes were shining coldly as he watched the fight.
Fuuuuuuu!
The spear and the sword collided.
Chop-chop-
As the ice broke into small pieces, ice powder flew into the air.
A tense battle of power.
The ice spear imbued with divine power and the sword imbued with thunder energy repeatedly faced the opponent without losing an inch.
‘By overlaying sword energy on top of demonic energy, the divine power is being pushed out. Is this also a type of strategy?’
Elric was inwardly amazed as he quickly deduced about Konoten’s technology and what was happening in the Inspection Bureau.
Sword and magic are disparate abilities with completely different origins.
Handling it so freely was absolutely impossible without some level of training.
Just as he said, this was also a strategy prepared in advance, assuming only Elric as the enemy.
‘Then, no way… ?’
It was at that time that I noticed the surrounding scenery that I had not seen before because I was concentrating on the battle.
『Have you finally noticed it? It’s slow.』
[What the hell is this… !]
Elric couldn’t help but be surprised.
Whihwihwihwi-!
The power of the seal, which until now was only thought to be wielded at the level of director or deputy director.
Because even ordinary agents from Bureau 2 and Bureau 5 were all being used.
Because of that, a lot of the demonic energy they shed gathered together and dyed the sky even more black.
“How do you guys use the power of the seal? “No matter how much we study demons, it wouldn’t be possible.”
Even though they are the Directors of the Inspector General, even ordinary agents use the power of seals.
No matter how much of a deal he had with Lilith, something was clearly wrong.
Originally, capturing demons and using their power was Mervinger’s unique technique.
however.
Eat!
Konoten laughed.
“Did you really think that the only things we studied were demons? “Are you uncharacteristically naive for the Mervinger family?”
“… !”
In an instant, Elric’s expression hardened.
That word has only one meaning.
“… “Did you even study my family?”
“bingo.”
Konoten’s smile became even more evil.
“Becoming the disappeared Mervinger. “That was the original goal of our Office of Inspector General.”
