Episode 64
to the north
Elric’s goal was simple.
-While the remnants of the demons and the agents of the Inspection Bureau are fighting, let’s take a fisherman’s stance!
To be precise, the idea was to secretly gulp down all the totems that would be left somewhere in Viscount Garot’s mansion.
That alone was a significant amount of income for Elric.
When I first brought up this plan, the reactions of the group members were very diverse.
Augustine and Giliti say, ‘Oh! ‘That’s a good idea!’ he slapped his knee, and Sean and Carol had to cover their faces with their hands as they thought, ‘That guy is causing an accident again.’
As if Hayes knew this would happen, he sighed in despair at the fact that his nagging still wasn’t working.
But no one opposed the plan.
Once they found out that the Inspection Bureau was trying to harm Elric, no one was friendly to them.
And since the opponent was a remnant of demons who tried to sacrifice innocent civilians, they had no hesitation in taking advantage of them.
“So what you’re saying is that you, Hayes, and Sean will sneak away and sweep up the totems while me and Gility watch out?”
“yes.”
Elric nodded to Augustine’s question.
Augustine grinned.
“But the demons and the inspection bureau aren’t very easy guys, right? “Do you really think this teacher doesn’t need to help you?”
“If you want, we can jump in together right now!”
Giliti was spouting hot snort and seemed ready to jump out at any moment.
That was because, as Augustine said, there was actually no guarantee that things would go that smoothly.
‘Especially the part… Even if he can’t do it, he will be promoted to a manager level. It’s definitely too dangerous for me to hit it head-on right now.’
The reason Elric was able to overcome Patran’s intimidation was only because of his family’s background and the help of Augustine and others.
Considering that Patran was a member of the Crown Prince’s entourage, this meant that he was a high-ranking figure within the Inspection Bureau.
In terms of magic, he is at least as skilled as a 7th circle great mage… .
No, maybe it was more than that.
Additionally, there was no guarantee that the skills of the demons would be weak.
‘Considering the importance of the totem, it would be rather dangerous. ‘Among them, there are hardly any worse than me.’
So the words that Augustine and Giliti were helping were very heavy.
but.
“I would appreciate it if you could do that, but… it’s okay.”
Augustine smiled strangely.
“why?”
“Because it’s my job.”
“Hoo?”
“And I think there will be a penalty if you get a lot of help. “It’s okay just to keep an eye on us.”
Augustine laughed lightly.
Then he laughed humorlessly.
“If it’s a penalty, it’s a penalty. “If this old man came forward, he would have stopped the lecture midway.”
“I knew so.”
Elric pouted his lips and grumbled.
Horse fighting is a discipline that can only be developed through repeated experience in combat. Isn’t that the case from the beginning when they gave an absurdly high level of testing?
Therefore, no matter how dangerous the situation was, relying on the teacher’s skills was absolutely unacceptable.
“Congratulations. “You just passed your sixth test.”
“… Just put it on. “Anyway, I’ll go.”
Elric pouted his lips, grumbled lightly, and jumped forward. Sean and Hayes said they would come too, and he nodded and followed them.
Before they knew it, they were wearing black masks on their faces, identical to those of the Inspector General’s agents.
If you look closely, it was a very crude mask, but perhaps because it was dark, it wasn’t very noticeable.
Looking at them like that, Augustine muttered lightly.
“Really. Hehehe!”
Does Elric even know?
Nokya’s entrance exam never ends until full graduation.
And if you are disqualified even once, your qualifications as a winner will be revoked.
Augustine thought that even if Elric didn’t know that fact, he might have guessed it instinctively.
His student was the greatest genius that had come into the school since its founding.

Qarring!
The inspection bureau’s offensive began with bombing.
Fire-type magic is poured countless times to reduce the territory to ashes, and finally, ground troops are deployed to wipe out the remaining remnants.
That was the inspection bureau’s method of subjugating those it branded as ‘rebels.’
Cuckoo cuckoo!
Because of this, Viscount Garot’s territory was being devastated in an instant.
“Save people!”
“Ain’s father, Ain’s father! Wake! “Why are you doing this!”
“Why, why is this suddenly happening to us…” ?”
“Why are the protesters attacking our village? why!”
The villagers were all in a panic.
Wasn’t it a peaceful rural village just an hour ago? But suddenly something like this happened, and there was no lightning like this.
Quack, quack, quack!

However, the Inspection Bureau continued to pour out flame-type magic, as if it did not care at all about the circumstances of the territory residents.
Running away from the territory was not easy.
The surrounding area had already been tightly surrounded by protesters.
Even though they cried and complained, the soldiers who stood like an iron wall never listened to the residents of the territory, and if they even brought weapons and tried to resist, they were killed by being stabbed with spears.
In a situation of chaos for which there is no need for the word ‘chaos’.
“… “What should I do?”
Sean ran to the Viscount’s mansion with Elric and Hayes, then looked back at Elric with a frown.
His face was quite stiff.
“I’m the only one who can read the totem, so you and my sister get rid of the distractions.”
To put it simply, all you have to do is become a bodyguard.
Sean was about to ask if there was anything else to do, but quickly closed his mouth.
Because I knew that going any further would be presumptuous. I didn’t know that the plan might go wrong.
But still, I didn’t think I could let go of my gaze, which was fixed on the people begging for their lives.
“Sean.”
“… why?”
“Those people over there are not the good people you think.”
“What is that… ?”
Sean narrowed his eyes at Elric’s incomprehensible words, but Elric had already arrived at the mansion before he knew it.
“【Pour it out】!”
The moment he activated the seal of cruelty, countless ice arrows crowded in front of him.
Arrows that are several times larger and harder than the commonly known ice arrows.
The numbers were also much higher than before.
The results of training achieved in the Labyrinth of Cheongyeon have finally seen the light of day for the first time.
Kwakwakwak!
So many ice arrows hit the roof and walls of the mansion that it was more appropriate to call it a shower of rain.
Grumble, rumble!
In the end, one wall collapsed.
“What is this… ?”
“Wow, the Inspection Bureau is already here?”
Gasol, who was busy walking around inside the mansion, all had cold faces.
Elric and others were wearing masks that resembled those of the Inspection Bureau. It was natural for there to be misunderstandings.
『These are all demons? haha!”
Mephisto burst into laughter as he looked at those guys.
Even though I was using a soldering iron, I couldn’t avoid his sharp eyes.
It was seen that each of them contained demonic energy that resembled Azazel.
It was like a thorn in Mephisto’s eyes.
Kwakwakwa!
puff pop-
Without saying a word, Elric randomly fired ice arrows at the guys.
Since I knew they were demons, there was no reason to have a conversation with them.
“Kaaak!”
“shit! my arm! My arm… !”
“Shit! Now that it’s like this… “I’ll kill you!”
When the inspection bureau starts ‘execution’, all living things nearby die. The demons decided that way and opened their demon energy all at once as if they had no more hesitation.
Various changes occurred, including the body being distorted and the eyes turning red and bloodshot.
“Die, human!”
Among them, the one closest to Elric spread his bat wings wide and lunged at him.
Although it had the power to easily rip out a normal human’s head.
“【Swing】.”
Without even blinking, Elric poured more magical power into the seal of cruelty.
Then, the ice arrow shattered and the ice pieces that fell on the floor rose up to the ceiling in a whirlpool.
‘Ice whirlwind’. Although it was a basic magic corresponding to the 4th circle, its power was enormous as the magical power of the magic stone was fully contained.
Because the demons trapped in the whirlwind were torn apart.
The other demons’ impressions hardened at the sight of them not even leaving the corpse intact, like vegetables thrown into a blender.
It might taste terrible, but… .
Still, it’s much better than not eating at all.
Moreover, as the seal of ferocity was activated, Elric’s shadow stirred and ended up consuming all of the dead demon’s magical energy!
The demons’ complexions turned pale due to the strange phenomenon of humans, not demons, eating demon energy and seals.
Originally, the unknown was the basis for their existence. Rather, they end up in a state of panic because they don’t understand the situation.
Elric did not miss that opportunity.
“【Push it in】, 【Push it in again】.”
The ice whirlwind quickly expanded its range several times, wiping out the demons.
[Most of the people here are demons. There are real humans mixed in, but they are all running away, so you only have to kill the ones that attack.]
Following Elric’s instructions, Sean and Hayes also jumped inside the building.
In particular, Sean’s eyes twinkled with anger.
“You bastards… !”
It was only then that I understood what Elric said, that not all the people he sees are good people.
The Neresta family’s specialty is wind. As the ‘knife winds’ that had been memorized in advance poured down one after another, the hands and feet of the demons were chopped into pieces.
Puff puff!
Hayes lightly pulled out the sledge hammer and turned it into a blood clot that the demons rushed at.
No, to be precise, they were only picking out the head and smashing it.
No matter how excellent the regenerative power of a demon is, it is so powerful that it inevitably causes instant death.
“All the bad villains need to be destroyed first. is not it?”
The sight of Hayes smiling kindly over a sea of blood gave me goosebumps.
“What the hell are these guys… !”
When the situation turned out that way, what was embarrassing was Viscount Garot’s demons.
They are confident that they have quite outstanding skills as they are on the front lines.
It was impossible to even get close to these three human kites.
I was anxious that the Inspection Bureau would soon take over the mansion at this rate.
But they didn’t know.
The crisis hasn’t even started yet.
This was because Elric quickly scanned the inside of the mansion with his mind’s eyes wide open and took out a fraudulent card.
[Go ahead, Mader! I decided on you!]
『You damn bastard!』
Mephisto was annoyed by Elric, who was now openly treating him like a raider, but he had no choice but to help.
『Ugh! Anyway, make sure to keep the promise you made a while ago! Azazel’s magic and seal acquired this time will definitely belong to this king! Do you understand?』
The carrot Elric threw looked delicious, but it was too delicious!
[Okay, so don’t worry! How many times are you asking? Now you know how to select and absorb Maggi, so find it quickly! Before the others come!]
“shit! The situation of this king, who has no choice but to suffer even though he knows very well what the outcome will be every time, is nothing but pitiful!』
Mephisto quickly looked inside while lamenting his situation.
“underground! 3rd Floor!”
[okay! Submission completed!]
Elric pulled out as much magic as he could and gathered it into both palms. There was a lot of frost, and a cold wind blew.
And then he slammed it down on the floor.
“【Explode】, 【Explode again】!”
In an instant, ice spread on the floor and exploded.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A passage leading vertically to the third basement level that Mephisto had mentioned was created.
A dark room designed so that it can never be discovered from the outside.
The demons who were busy organizing important documents and magic tools there looked up with bewildered faces.
Wizard who swallowed talent
