Episode 135
war
Nettle –
“Your Majesty the Prince!”
“Avoid!”
The guards screamed urgently.
[this.]
The man in the wooden mask let out a laugh as if he had no idea his movements would be discovered like this.
[But even if it were like this, nothing would change.]
Some knights even tried to throw themselves at him, but before that, the fierce wind had already reached Prince Cromhel.
Cha chachang!
Prince Cromhell gritted his teeth and tried to shake off the guy somehow. However, since the route could not be predicted at all, the limit to stopping it was only two or three sums.
I couldn’t even read the footprints anymore. I don’t know what they did, but now there aren’t even any footprints left.
‘I have to do something… !’
Elric squeezed his head as he ran toward Prince Cromhell.
Is that guy important to you?
Hyul’s thoughts hummed as if Elric was having fun.
From the beginning, weren’t you a person who was very indifferent to others unless they were close acquaintances?
But why bother trying to help?
Just leave it alone. That’s okay then.
If that’s the case, I think that ghost-like guy will finish his job and quietly disappear. There’s no need to go out, right?
Elric wondered why he was talking so much today, but he gritted his teeth and screamed inwardly.
‘shit! ‘Where are the important things!’
then?
‘No matter how much of a shitty person I am, I’m not at the point where I would let someone who showed me real kindness get hurt, right?’
is it.
It’s a favor. Although it is a very unfamiliar feeling to me.
Well, that may be an important motivation for humans.
Kikiki kick! After all, humans are fun.
‘Stop talking nonsense, if you want to help, help quickly! If you’re not going to do that, get out!’
The owner has a very impatient personality. Cultivate patience. Wouldn’t that bring good luck?
With that one word whispered by Hyul’s thoughts.
Elric felt as if his senses were wider than ever. No, to be precise, the cognitive areas were touching all over the place.
Among them, there was even a place where Prince Cromhel was!
Elric was able to realize that it was an expansion of his senses through shadows.
I didn’t know what the mechanism was, but if I could understand the opponent’s area in detail through the shadow, there was an infinite number of things I could do.
“【Soar】.”
Elric poured a lot of magic into the winter seal and at the same time randomly twisted the textures floating around Prince Cromhell to form a magic field.
Originally, I would never have been able to do it due to physical limitations, but now I was able to do it as much as I wanted.
Of course, the effect was much less effective because the shadow had to be used as an intermediate stopover.
Even with this alone, there was no problem blocking the attack.
Kukukuku… !
The ground shook violently in front of Prince Cromhel’s feet, and a thick wall of ice rose up.
Kaga River!
Fuuuuong-
Although the sword strike wielded by the man in the wooden mask shattered the ice wall like a firecracker, it was able to give Prince Chromehel enough time to escape backwards.
[also… !]
The tree-clad man was even sighing as his attacks failed several times due to Elric.
Should I continue to pursue Prince Cromhell like this, even if I have to force myself to do so, or is it better to deal with Elric first, who keeps failing me time and time again?
For a moment, a worry passed through his mind.
But the man in the wooden mask could no longer display his talents.
Churrrruk, churrrruk-
Not only were merciless chains sticking out from all over the ice, trying to tie his feet, but also because Hermann had already arrived in front of his eyes.
Cha cha cha chang!
Hermann swung his sword again and again while continuously pulling out the aurors. The attack was so fierce that the tree-climbing man’s hands and feet became dizzy for a moment.
Even though he had excellent sword skills for an assassin, his swordsmanship alone was not enough to defeat Herman, who was considered the best among lions.
The only thing that gave the tree-clad man the upper hand was his stealth skills, but with Herman following him so tenaciously and Elric providing cover, he couldn’t even get a chance to hide anymore.
Moreover, there was something else that made him even more troubled.
Tsutsutsutsu-
A pure white wave was slowly rising above the floor of the now-ruined conference hall.
On the surface, it may have seemed like nothing more than an unusual phenomenon.
It contained an absolute and ferocious power that could never be resisted.
That means only one thing.
[Until the white night… !]
The man in the wooden mask raised his head upward as he pushed Herman away.
On the broken ceiling. Just like when he first appeared, Augustine was standing on the steel frame, looking down.
The difference was that he had a very disapproving face.
“Everyone is like this because they couldn’t catch a single rat. Tsk!”

At that moment, everyone could sigh in relief.
It was calculated that no matter how much an assassin could fly and crawl to the point of making fun of lions, he would no longer be able to act as he pleases once the white night appeared.
To that extent, the being called White Night was a human being who was unpredictable and outside of the norm.
[…] I guess I can’t do anything like this.]
just as expected.
The man in the wooden mask probably thought there was nothing more he could do, but with a bitter smile he took away two swords.
and… He suddenly turned towards Augustine.
[It’s been a while, teacher.]
“… !”
“… !”
“… !”
A completely unexpected reaction.
Elric, Prince Cromhel, and even Hermann all had to look at Augustine and the man in the tree mask in turn with surprised eyes. Even Hayes was mixed in there.
Augustine clicked his tongue in disapproval.
“Who is the gift?”
[Whether it was then or now, I always think that way. Master also thinks so.]
“That’s none of my business. “Stop making a fuss and get out of here.”
For a moment, the tree-climbing man’s eyes turned to Elric.
[I heard that you had disciples, and it seems like it was true. Thank goodness. You have been looking for a person to help you make progress, and congratulations on finally finding one.]
“I would have told you. It’s not something you should worry about. “If I can’t hear what this old man says properly, should I at least drill new ears so I can hear?”
At the same time that Augustine raised his hand, the white waves also waved wildly. As soon as he lifted his finger, he was ready to pounce with his ferocious teeth.
[That won’t work. All right. I will step down from this position.]
“Don’t even think about showing up again.”
[If I have a chance to meet you next time, I will come to you formally.]
Whilick!
The man in the wooden mask disappeared without leaving behind those words.
“this… !”
Even the guards and border guards all sighed at the fact that they had lost sight of the assassin who had dared to kill the prince.
Since no one had the courage to reject Augustine, the commotion was thus put to rest.
Leaving many questions behind.
* * *
The attempted assassination of Prince Cromhell left a huge turmoil in many ways.
This was because harming the imperial family meant effectively turning the imperial family and the empire into enemies.
Meanwhile, agents are dispatched directly from the inspection bureau’s home office to conduct inspections and searches.
The border guards were so angry that something big had almost happened in their own backyard that they lost their will to find the assassins even if they had to go all the way to hell.
However, in the process, Hayes did not mention anything about the ‘Red Phantom’ that he had mentioned to Elric.
Elric was curious about the reason, but since he was a thoughtful sister, he thought there must be a good reason, so he didn’t bother to mention that information.
‘Even the inspection bureau can’t approach you carelessly.’
In particular, the Office of Inspector General did not bother to search for Augustine separately, even though it would have already heard testimony from other witnesses that Augustine and the attempted criminal seemed to be familiar.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of the Neresta family, which was the head of the Senate, or that he was reluctant to engage in political conflict with the Magic Tower, but it felt like he didn’t want to get close to the existence of ‘White Night’ itself.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t follow Augustine’s footsteps, but at least I don’t think I’ll bother him.
and.
The meeting between Elric and Prince Cromhell also ended in failure.
“It’s a shame. “I wanted to talk more.”
Prince Cromhell swallowed his appetite as he parted ways with Elric.
A tone full of sincerity, not just words.
After all, wasn’t Prince Cromhell deeply interested in Elric from the beginning?
Moreover, this time, thanks to Elric’s performance, his life was saved from assassination.
Of course, I had no choice but to show infinite faith in him.
In fact, Prince Cromhell was even thinking of giving the Elric and Mervinger families special favors along with a letter of thanks upon returning to the imperial family.
Elric laughed lightly as he looked at Prince Cromhell.
“I think we can talk more next time I see you. Let’s share our friendship even then.”
Prince Cromhell opened his eyes round, then smiled and nodded.
[The steel body technique you showed was very impressive. Next time I see you, I’d like to compete.]
Faaah!
In this way, Prince Cromhel returned to the imperial palace first with his bodyguard, leaving behind a message.
“Let’s go back now.”
Next, Elric and the others climbed onto the magic circle heading to the ecliptic.
Flash!
What was seen after the light went away were the servants of the Neresta family who had already heard the news and were waiting.
“Walt, Hassan? “What are you doing here?”
The servants all bowed their heads in response to the question Sean asked.
“The matriarch is looking for Sean and Elric Mervinger.”
“Your father?”
Sean opened his eyes wide.
I heard that they received urgent orders to return due to the Red Lion’s rebellion, but I never thought that they would send someone in person to find them in such a hurry.
Even though he is his son’s friend, he ends up looking for Elric, who is only an outsider?
It seemed like something was going on.
“Then let us part ways here for a moment.”
Hermann left the group, saying he was going to stay at a friend’s house in the Imperial Capital for a while.
It might not have been known if it were outside the wall, but in this place where many eyes are watching, the Blue Lion’s presence in the Six Mangseong family of the Magic Tower could create all sorts of issues, so it was right to split here.
The blue hawk ate his food as if it was regretful, but he barely took a steady step when Isabelle persuaded him that they would be able to meet again soon.
It was like watching a separated family break up, and Sean, who was watching from the side, could only laugh.
Soon, as the servants continued to cheer him on, he hurriedly moved to the place where his family home was located.
