Episode 66
to the north
Cuckoo… !
A huge wave of magical energy shook the mansion.
Elric and Mephisto’s heads both turned towards the ceiling and then down again.
Elric had a smile on his face, and Mephisto had a look of irritation on his face.
[I think it’s time to let it go. You decide quickly, right?]
shaking!
Mephisto glared at Elric, trembling greatly as if he had been electrocuted.
The more it happened, the bigger Elric’s smile became.
[call?]
『It’s a call! 이 개새끼야!』
[Give it to me.]
“Shit! If you want to use the Seal of Original Sin, you must first be qualified!』
[That’s what I always said.]
『What exactly is that qualification?』
At that moment, something crossed Elric’s mind.
When you obtain the Seal of Relentlessness. He had to roll quite a bit. I attacked the Snow Mountain King again and again. He died a lot. However, he took the seal little by little and eventually won.
To use seals properly, a deep understanding of seals is required.
What if the same applies to the seal of original sin?
[Low seal?]
“okay. Acquire things that are genealogically lower than ‘original sin.’ If so, the path to the trigger will be opened.』
The corners of Elric’s lips curled up significantly.
Finally, the daunting shadow was lifted.
[Then what is your genealogy?]
“I do not know.”
[After revealing this far, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? !]
『It’s true! This king was already a perfect being from the beginning. He has been guarding the side of the demon god since he opened his eyes, and had ten thousand demons at his feet!』
His voice was full of power.
『Also, he wasn’t as cowardly as Azazel, so he didn’t have any special henchmen next to him. He walked alone and lived alone. How could a king like that know about low-ranking seals?
He walks the path alone without anyone else’s help, accumulates achievements, and eventually becomes a ‘legend’, so he is independent of his children.
Mephisto seemed very proud of himself.
[You mean it was just a disaster, right? What kind of pride is that?]
『This guy!』
[Then give me another hint. There are so many demons in the world, you can’t beat them all, right?]
For a split second, Mephisto said nothing.
Elric quietly looked at Mephisto as if he would not lose.
『The engraved pattern of the seal! Is that done?』
That was enough.
Elric quickly looked down at the seal of original sin on his shoulder.
[A wolf?]
『Do not ask for more than this!』
If I probed further, it seemed like things would go completely wrong.
Elric thought he could scrape off more later when he had the chance, and as promised, he moved the absorbed piece of the seal to the seal of original sin.
『Oh, oh! at las… !』
Mephisto’s face, which had been stained with irritation because of Elric, was filled with joy.
Isn’t this a piece that, even if you wanted to get it somehow, you couldn’t get it due to Azazel’s interference and the other Great Demon Lords’ checks?
However, the moment he acquired this, he was able to obtain more information about Azazel.
Of course, that didn’t mean that he could immediately discover the secret to defeating Azazel or regain the stolen magic power.
Even though it was just a clue, I didn’t know how it would be useful.
That was the real reason why Mephisto was able to reign as the strongest Great Demon King even though he did not have to build up his own power unlike other Great Demon Kings.
‘Madness, madness… Was it called that and had this mechanism? ‘It wasn’t just crazy, it also included a crazy side.’
Mephisto’s eyes sparkled.
Although it was very slight, it was madness.
‘Then, if we compare this to the king’s seal, we must first break the momentum… huh?’
Mephisto had to tilt his head halfway through his thoughts.
Because the fragments of Azazel’s seal and the magical energy that had been well absorbed by the seal of original sin stopped halfway through.
Then I saw it.
Elric is looking over here and smiling!
『You, really?』
[You didn’t say you’d give it all, right?]
“hey!”
[I gave you as many hints as you gave. If you think of anything else, please let me know.]
『You bastard!』
Mephisto finally grabbed Elric by the collar and shook him, feeling as if something had snapped inside his head.
Of course, that didn’t cause any physical damage.
Elric just ignored Mephisto and withdrew his hand. The totem, stripped of all its magic and seal pieces, crumbled to dust and collapsed.
‘As expected, the seal doesn’t appear.’

Elric quietly nodded as he saw that there was no change, just like when he took away the seals of other demons.
As expected, this seemed to have something to do with the arrangements of our ancestors.
‘Anyway, the purpose was accomplished… !’
Elric looked back at Sean and Hayes.
They too were looking at Elric, as if they had already sorted out the situation.
“Let’s go out.”
“Is it possible to get rid of me?”
Sean glanced upward.
I felt a significant number of soldiers rushing towards me. The surprise attack was successful, but escape was a completely different matter.
but.
“You didn’t think of that? “The original confusion is covered up with even greater confusion.”
Elric looked back at Hayes.
“sister. please.”
Hayes quietly nodded and walked around the basement, picking out the main pillars and hitting them.
All of which Elric had frozen in advance.
Bang, bang, kwaang-!
Rumbling… !
As a result, every time the hammer passed by, the pillar broke too easily.
It really was an instant for the big mansion to collapse.
“Jump!”
In the end, with Elric’s cry.
Rumbling!
The mansion, which was already in danger due to multiple impacts, eventually completely collapsed.
Of course, including the Inspector General agents and demons still remaining in the mansion.
* * *
“Thank you, old man! thank you… !”
“What is there to be thankful for? Move quickly. “There are other people behind you, right?”
“If that’s the case, please at least give me a name… !”
“Uh-huh! How can you put your name first when doing the government’s work? And as soon as they find out, they will be blacklisted in their home country. Is that okay?”
“Hey! “No, no!”
The road leading out of town.
Augustine was concentrating on getting the villagers out.
Of course, I don’t want my identity to be revealed, so I wear the black mask of the Inspection Bureau.
‘Heulheul. It’s kind of fun to play a hero like this. ‘You can make fun of those guys from the inspection bureau.’
Augustine and Giliti were not only responsible for monitoring the Office of Inspector General.
Most of the innocent civilians in the owner’s territory are innocent people. However, it is impossible for the Inspection Bureau, which is said to have no blood or tears, to consider such a situation. So, if possible, it was also decided to take them out.
We may not be able to save everyone, but we will still be able to save many of them.
Is it because he spent his whole life chasing after the demon lord Hyul and was only focused on the revival of his family, the Neresta family?
Augustine thought this was quite good.
[Brother, the mansion has collapsed.]
At that time, a hawk flew over Augustine’s head, and a message was delivered to his ears.
He was Giliti’s familiar.
[I will go soon too.]
Augustine nodded and found Elric, Sean, and Hayes running towards him.
Now it was time to open an escape route.
* * *
“These crazy things… !”
In a pile of collapsed mansions.
Patran was barely able to get up, irritated.
They said they pushed the demons into a corner, but I never thought they would do something like this.
Mass burial alive.
Are they saying that it doesn’t matter what damage or sacrifice they receive?
Of course, that probably meant that the value of this mansion to them was great, but I still felt very bad.
Because of this, even though Patran almost caught Kaya, he had to let go right before his eyes.
“Hell, Yacht, Shannon!”
Patran called out the names of his subordinates who moved with him.
Immediately, the ruins shook here and there, and the two people stood up.
Both were not in perfect condition.
“… Shannon has passed away.”
“Stupid! Leave the dead guy alone. Hey, quickly assess the damage and find a safe or secret room in the mansion! Yacht, you go after Kaya right now! “He couldn’t have escaped very far because his limbs were blown off one by one.”
“debriefing!”
“debriefing!”
“Hurry! His Majesty the Crown Prince is watching! “If you fail this time, you will be severely reprimanded!”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
The two agents were busy.
Even though they couldn’t see it because they were covered by masks, they all had irritated complexions.
I knew very well that the ‘reprisonment’ that Patran spoke of here would never end in something trivial like a letter of apology or pay reduction.
“… “Something has been going wrong since Elric Mervinger.”
Patran managed to control his boiling anger and regain his composure.
Things got a little messy when the mansion suddenly collapsed.
Actually, he wasn’t that worried.
Anyway, Kaya was seriously injured by him. He thought that no matter how hard he tried, there would be a limit. The protestors had already formed a tight siege around the territory with no water leaks.
And since he was so busy running away, he probably didn’t have time to steal documents or important items.
Just wait a little while and everything will go smoothly.
Patran thought so.
‘And if the evidence found here gives a hint that Mervinger is involved… Heh! ‘It’s not difficult to deal with him.’
In any case, manipulating evidence out of necessity is something that is often done in the inspection bureau, so there was nothing difficult about it.
Patran was going to use this opportunity to completely cut off not only Elric Mervinger, but also the Mervinger family.
In addition, the Neresta family, which has built a close relationship with Elric, can also be appropriately held accountable… You can also gain political supremacy over the Magic Tower.
And what if all the credit goes to Prince Zereitz?
You will be able to establish a perfect position for the next throne.
‘It would be even more icing on the cake if the Crown Prince were to direct all future suppression of Grigori.’
Patran is already in the position of Director of the 4th Bureau… No, he was excited because he felt like the position of Director General had fallen into his hands.
Now, all you have to do is bring the evidence found here to the Crown Prince to gain his trust, and everything will go smoothly.
That’s what I think… .
“Wow, we’re in big trouble!”
Patran felt uneasy for a moment when he saw Hel suddenly return with a pale complexion.
“What is it? “Couldn’t you find the secret room?”
“no. Found it. however… !”
“Say it straight!”
“The safes are all empty! Circumstances that appear to involve a third party… “It was discovered.”
“what?”
A word I never thought of.
Underneath the mask, Patran’s eyes hardened.
and.
“… sorry. The traces of Kaya and others cut off along the way… “I lost.”
The agent who had been chasing Kaya reported in a trembling voice.
“no way… Was there by any chance a third party?”
“Yes, that’s right. It is said that a surprise attack suddenly occurred and a hole was created in the siege network surrounding the territory. because that… It seems like some of the remnants of Kaya and the territory residents have moved in that direction.”
“Why are you handling things like this!”
The bright future that seemed to be at our fingertips was dissipating like a mirage.
“Chase! somehow! “Don’t even think about coming back until you find them!”
“Look, look, Bokmyeong!”
The agents had to run until their feet got sweaty again, fearing that their boss’s anger would be different.
However, that did not mean that the shock Patran received disappeared. A shout came out between clenched lips.
“They definitely knew we would launch a surprise attack… ! “Otherwise, there’s no way someone else will help you as if you were waiting!”
In an instant, both eyes were distorted viciously.
“home country! “There is a spy for the demons in my country!”
Just like Kaya, Patran also made a big mistake.
By the time he realized that, the situation had already become so complicated that it was difficult to know the truth.
Wizard who swallowed talent
