Part 2 Episode 58
Shiro
Ancestral lord?
Elric narrowed his eyebrows slightly and then glanced to the side.
『Why are you looking at me like that?』
[No, nothing.]
『… what? It was clearly an unpleasant look in his eyes. Isn’t it true that you were comparing the real king to that kind of trashy scoundrel?』
[Oh, how can that be possible? majesty.]
『It’s clear there’s something. Argh! Anyway, those Mervingers!』
Contrary to Mephisto’s words, which treated him as a mischievous ghost, it seemed difficult to treat the ghost who revealed himself as the ancestral lord of the castle that way.
‘In terms of presence, it is actually higher than the current Mephie.’
Shouldn’t that be considered a monster at that level?
That’s how great the sound emanating from the ancestral castle lord was.
The problem was that it wasn’t just that.
“Is it only your idea to propose a deal? Or the ones behind you?”
-Hehe! I guess you noticed it too.
Susss-
As soon as the previous castle lord finished speaking, other ghosts and the spirits of dead demons began to appear in the bodies of other assassins who were guarding the officials.
They had one thing in common.
The entire body of the spirit is covered with various seals.
“I am careful not to do business with people who take out the bottom line from the beginning of the transaction, right?”
– Instead of doing that, why don’t you listen to what ‘we’ have to say?
Magi began to bloom in clusters.
Elric realized something while looking at it.
These are the ‘real’ Ghost Castle forces.
-Because these guys are our vessels. If they die, we die too. So, wouldn’t it end without resolving the injustice of our lives as parasites on the bodies of our descendants after dying unfairly, and the injustice of our descendants who are forced to carry us around?
“so?”
The previous lord of the castle glanced at the ruined canyon and sighed.
-I will take responsibility for fixing this place somehow. I’ll give you everything you need. So please.
Then, the eyes of the previous castle lord were fixed on Elric.
-Please just leave.
“Please let me set you free, or something like that?”
A bitterness appeared on the lips of the former lord of the castle.
-There is no way to fix the experiment that was done on us. I guess I should just accept it as fate. Even if we find a way, we have to find it.
Elric just listened quietly without any response.
-But that doesn’t mean we can continue to live as dogs of the inspection bureau that put us in this situation.
Murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the previous castle lord.
-But the moment I bumped into you, I realized. Maybe we can end our bad relationship with this awful inspection bureau.
Her red cheeks were full of excitement.
-If you have the power. And with the power of the Magic Tower that is with you, you will be able to screw over those guys from the Inspection Bureau.
“So, will you lend a hand there?”
The previous Seongju nodded.
-After all, isn’t what you want confidential information from the Inspector General? I’ll hand it all over.
“Are you asking me to spare your lives in return?”
-Of course, you can’t just let us go. There is damage you have suffered, and from the Empire’s perspective, our ghost castle is a place that must be eliminated. So if you let us go, we’ll hide. To a very deep place.
The previous Seongju continued speaking while pounding his chest hard with his fist.
-If you want, we can move on to the southern kingdom union. If you live there causing confusion and self-reflection, there’s nothing bad about you, right?
“hmm.”
-It wouldn’t be a bad deal for you and the Mage Tower, right?
“Of course it is.”
Elric nodded.
The face of the previous castle lord turned bright red.
-Then let’s make a deal… !
“But isn’t that only possible when you properly fulfill your promises?”
-If you find it hard to believe, hold me and this descendant hostage until all the promises are kept… !
“That’s terrible.”
Elric sneered and cut off the previous castle lord’s words.
“You can change to another host if you want. yes?”
-… !
“Besides, they do all kinds of crazy things to buy time. what the. “I thought it was true.”
-… .
“If you’re going to lie, why don’t you put some spit on your lips?”
After a long silence.
Heh, heh heh. The previous lord of the castle burst out laughing, putting his head in his hands.
-how.
Through the fingers covering his face, I could see the man’s eyes filled with madness.
-How did you find out? Surely there were no loopholes in what I said?
His eyes were glaring sharply at Elric, which was completely different from his usual friendly appearance.

『Seals have been a symbol of demons since ancient times, and are also like the origin of demons. But the origins were forcibly mixed up like that? 』
Mephisto had a very irritated face.
Even when he was the Great Demon King, he always walked alone, so he did not care about the lives of other demons.
Still, even though he did not respect his own species, he seemed very angry at being treated like a ‘tool’.
But thanks to that, Elric was able to find out.
They talk as if they were inevitably subjected to an experiment by the Inspection Bureau.
In fact, it was the result they got because they really wanted it.
But let’s make a deal?
‘That’s bullshit.’
Elric didn’t even laugh.
‘This is bullshit trying to stall for time until the inspection bureau or Sajagongga comes.’
The previous lord of the castle took a breath and wiped his face.
-There’s nothing I can do when it’s like this.
Whihwihwihwi!
The seal surrounding the spirit body glowed strangely, then turned into a haze that descended on the official’s body.
and.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Paaaaat-
The executive who had united with the castle owner rushed towards us. The ice that had been freezing the executive until now exploded like a firecracker.
Before he knew it, he even had a mace in his hand.
‘fast!’
In the blink of an eye, Elric saw the mace flying towards his face and quickly bent his back to avoid it.
However, because I was on top of Cheonjamsa Temple, I lost my balance and stumbled.
“this.”
Damn it!
As I moved to the next Cheonjamsa Temple, I created a piece of ice and stuck to it, but there was no time to catch my breath.
Squirt!
The guy showed off his strange movements and followed closely behind.
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo-
Head, knees, waist. An attack that flies irregularly.
This guy only focused on places where Elric would have difficulty keeping his balance.
If you lower your posture, the mace will be swung straight at your ankle, and if you jump lightly to avoid it, a stab will follow.
It seemed like he clearly knew how to deal well with the opponent on top of Cheonjamsa Temple.
Cheonjamsa was shaken by Elric’s continued movements.
Elric struggled to maintain his balance on top of it.
But before that, Mace made the first move. A salcho is aimed precisely at Elric’s head.
He quickly bent down to avoid it.
“… !”
At that moment, I could see it.
The mace’s path bends in the air as it slips.
Column, not horizontal.
The mace was struck vertically.
‘damn. If only there were proper weapons!’
Since magic fighting techniques using demonic energy were not perfect, it was inevitable that it would take a lot of strength to deal with an expert of this level.
Just running around on Cheonjamsa Temple took a lot of mental energy.
That’s why Elric needed a weapon for the first time.
An actual weapon, not an ice spear made with the seal of the winter world.
That alone seemed to be enough to stop Mace.
‘If I could stop it just once… !’
If he could block his attack just once, there was a way to blow up the previous castle lord.
Then.
I could see the Red Lion Andre Winds, a man down there fighting assassins with war mages.
“Andre!”
Hearing Elric’s shout, Andre looked up from cutting the assassin’s head.
In an instant, the two met.
and.
Squirt!
As if Andre had read Elric’s thoughts, he threw the sword he was holding in his hand.
Seongju must have sensed something strange and put more pressure on the mace that was cutting Elric’s head.
It was at that moment that Elric took Andre’s sword and raised his mace.
Kaang!
Sparks flew out as the mace and sword clashed violently.
While Seongju stumbled for a moment, unable to overcome the force of the reaction, Elric closed the gap between him and Cheonjamsa by firmly holding on to Cheonjamsa’s feet with ice.
And then the ice heat that follows.
Damn it!
Fuuuuuu-
The shadow that came from Cheonjamsa Temple momentarily froze Seongju’s body and then exploded.
“Ugh… !”
Seongju was thrown back while hemorrhaging blood, but he could not go far and was caught by Cheonjamsa Temple again and had to return.
Only the ice connected to Cheonjamsa Temple’s feet remained unbroken, blocking movement.
And it ended up being the defeat of Seongju.
“I’ll give it back as is.”
Whoa!
Elric plunged the sword in his hand deep into the castle lord’s chest. The victory of the sword that occurred thanks to the full amount of demonic energy permeated seemed to indicate Elric’s victory.
“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The previous lord of Seongju fell to his knees, foaming at the mouth with his eyes wide open.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
My body shook violently several times, as if I was having a seizure.
At the same time, the seals covering the body exploded one after another.
pop! pop! pop! pop!
The demonic energy that seeped into the guy’s body through the sword stimulated the seal, causing a runaway.
『To think of forcibly breaking the complex chain that connects the physical magical organs, the spiritual body, and the seal. This is truly a crazy idea. Pahahaha!』
This was Elric’s winning strategy.
The connection between the host, the soul, and the seal is bound to be complicated in many ways. What if they forcibly hit the demonic energy there? Naturally, all magical engines were bound to be damaged due to overheating.
It was an ignorant method that most magicians would not even think of, as the act of infusing demonic energy into the opponent’s body was a dangerous task.
Elric had a brilliant intelligence that allowed him to make such calculations without any trouble, and he was also very knowledgeable about magic.
in short.
『You must be a natural enemy, right?』
Hahaha! While Mephisto’s light roars.
Grumbling… .
Even the sound of breathing was cut off as the last remaining seal recognized by the body was shattered.
Susss-
And the soul rising above the body.
Elric reached out and grabbed the soul by the collar.
-big… omg!
“Now, I think it would be a good idea to answer my question.”
-I think it’s easy for me to say… Wow!
The previous Seongju acted as if he would endure until the end, but it wasn’t long before he had to scream.
This was because the magic energy that Elric had infused into his spiritual body caused him pain again.
Kwaduk, Kwaduk-
“You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. But you’ll have to go through a lot of trouble, right? “This demon energy is like a very painful poison to ordinary people?”
-Damn… Argh!
“Hey. You shouldn’t swear. I am a winner, you are a loser. Understand?”
-Damn it! Argh!
“You want to use correct and kind words?”
The previous lord of the castle could not come to his senses due to the demonic energy seeping into his resistance.
It literally feels like my soul is rolling around in hellfire.
But since I didn’t have the energy to shake off his touch, I was going even more crazy.
-Stop, stop! I will answer, so please stop! it hurts! It hurts so much that I’m dying! Argh!
“Are you finally ready to speak?”
-Okay, okay, so stop now! Wow! Why again! Oh, I said I would answer, but hey!
“Why?”
Elric answered with a grin.
“It’s fun.”
-… !
It was only then that the previous Seongju realized.
That the hive he had infested was very wrong.
Only Mephisto was shaking his head next to him.
Wizard who swallowed talent
