Episode 113

In a sense of urgency, I made an urgent request to Professor Frain.

Professors were also embarrassed by the sudden situation, but they quickly grasped the current situation and began to respond.

“You didn’t want to show up to the students, did you?”

Cassius nodded at Professor Frain’s words.

“Yes. If they find out we’re here, they’ll attack us in the palace.”

“Okay, if it’s an unnoticeable place…… would you like to go to the western spire?”

Students did not come to the high western spire with many stairs.

The road to the western spire was also very remote, so it seemed like a good place to travel secretly.

“Yes, I think it’ll be fine.”

For more,

[I give assignments to those who want to be loyal to me. I will give promised rewards to those who achieve this task.]

‘Task?’

I frowned and listened to the speech.

[Give me the Yerine Spade.]

The moment I heard my name, I felt the sensation of my heart sinking to my toes.

[She has purple hair and eyes of different colours. The right is red while the left is purple. And she often uses the blue flame magic.]

“You bastard! I’ll kill you!”

Cassius shouted in an angry voice.

However, his voice was not heard well.

‘Offering me………?’

Now the whole empire would be after me.

Iker, the monster, his aides, and all those who accept the threat will be after me.

[And to the successors of the 7 Imperial Families. The Housekeepers have already been captured. Their treatment depends on what you do in the future.]

It’s so vicious. How could humans be so vicious?

[Choose whether you’re going to lose your parents and your own lives, or if you’re going to sacrifice Yerine Spade and enjoy infinite wealth and power.]

I felt nauseous.

My eyes were dim.

[Well, let’s get it over.]

Iker’s voice stopped and the storm-like speech ended.

It was scary.

But the emotion more intense than fear was anger.

“Let’s get ready for combat right now.”

The principal walked out slowly and spoke in a calm voice.

“A case like the last attack should never happen again in the Academy.”

The principal’s eyes rested on me as I was looking around the professors.

Then a clear and clear voice rang out.

“I have no intention of submitting to anyone who wants to hurt them.”

Professor Frain shouted at the principal’s words.

“That’s right. We have no intention of serving an emperor who is against our spirit to train wizards to spread good influence.”

Everyone nodded at his words.

I looked at the back of such professors.

“Cassius.”

I called his name quietly.

As I turned my head, his clear golden eyes looked at me.

While everyone was busy talking, Cassius held my hand without a word.

It was warm.

***

A cold, fleshy night breeze blew.

The white cape of the man leaning against the leg railing fluttered in the wind. The man standing still as if he were dead felt as if he was facing a reaper.

But unlike the reaper, he was wearing a white cape.

Anyone who saw the dismal scene would tremble.

“Oh, my God.”

The man uttered quietly.

His eyes were on his chest.

The necklace on the man’s neck was shining.

He turned the necklace three times in his hand, and a harsh voice came out like an animal growling.

[Are you ready?]

“Yes, there is no mistake.”

The sharp eyes of the man who answered were directed at the mountain, which looked black.

The mountain, hidden in darkness and barely visible, looked like a black mass, giving the impression of a wriggling monster.

[You’re sure about that, right?]

A voice of strange anxiety and annoyance hastened.

“Yes.”

The man didn’t bother to add another word.

The shorter the words, the better.

The more he said, the less likely he was to offend this picky master.

[Yeah, I’ll trust you for now.]

“……”

He still seemed to have a problem with his mind.

However, the man did not necessarily add reassuring words to the owner of the voice.

[You know better what happens when a mistake happens, don’t you?]

The man bit his lips casually.

Bite it so hard that blood seeps out a little bit.

He felt a fishy taste in his tongue.

It was slightly salty and bitter.

“Of course.”

He thought that the voice from his mouth did not seem to belong to him.

It’s ridiculous, but it really was.

[Perfectly. Do it, by all means.]

The voice from the necklace disappeared at the end of the sentence.

The necklace, which had maintained a gentle glow, lost its light and returned to its original form.

A fishy scent of blood was felt in his mouth.

‘I’m sick.’

It was a smell that he would get tired of when tomorrow is coming.
