Robert looked around him.

"Please, save me..."

He had killed most of the necromancers, but a few remained.

Those who didn't resist, trembling with fear.

Robert did not kill those who did not resist.

There was no need to kill those who had already lost the will to fight.

He approached one of the women.

"Please... spare my life..."

"Have you been in contact with Perrian Astria?"

"What?"

Perrian had returned to the capital, but he wouldn't just leave this place alone.Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

He intended to make sure the laboratory was running as usual.

"Are you in contact or not?"

As Robert repeated the question, the woman in front of him nodded her head up and down.

"Yes, yes! We have been in constant contact!"

"Who was in charge of that role?"

"That... that person over there..."

Robert looked where she was pointing.

It was the man he had just killed.

He used to be in charge here, but now he was in no state to rise again.

Robert sighed.

"Then there's no choice. You'll take over the communication."

"Me?"

"Yes, Perrian must believe that everything here is still running normally. Can you do that?"

"I'll do it!"

"Also, clean up everything here. Release all the people you've captured, and burn all the experiment records."

"The experiment records...!"

"Don't like it?"

Robert looked at her with a menacing gaze.

"I'll do it!"

"Good. And don't think about escaping from here. The moment you try to leave, you'll die."

"Understood!"

Robert said this and moved on.

'No one will come to check this place other than Perrian.'

Unless Perrian was insane, he wouldn't have informed his associates about such an incident.

If someone mentioned they were harboring a necromancer, they would be arrested immediately.

So as long as they exchanged letters properly, there was no way to know the state of this place.

As Robert stepped outside.

A woman was waiting for him.

"Hello?"

The woman, her eyes covered with black cloth.

She was the saint, Haruna.

"Why are you here?"

Robert narrowed his eyes at Haruna.

"It would be inappropriate to go inside, wouldn't it? Even if I can't see the brutal scene, I can guess what's happening from the sounds and smells."

Haruna smiled and tapped her covered eyes.

"That's not what I'm asking."

"Just a joke~. It's a bit awkward if you react like that."

Robert furrowed his brow.

"Drop the tasteless jokes. Why are you here? There's even less reason for a saint to be here alone."

"I've been traveling alone these days. Given the situation, it's too dangerous for the temple people."

"What?"

"Our Karen is very fond of you, Young master Rudy. It seemed she had made up her mind after seeing you this time. That's why we wanted to proceed with the engagement again."

I wondered if I should not have acted in front of Karen.

It seemed my poor acting had come back to haunt me.

This made me think that people say not to lie for a reason.

"So, please reconsider canceling the wedding. This is not as the head of the Mayer family, but as a father asking you."

I returned to my family home and stared at the ceiling.

Upon reflection, time would solve this problem.

Karen was fond of the original Rudy Astria, not me.

The situation arose because I had acted in front of her; now, I just needed to stop acting.

So, I made a separate agreement with Count Mayer.

When Karen gave up on me, that's when we would cancel the engagement.

After all, time would take care of it.

When I met Karen, I would just need to show her the real me.

"Well, that issue is somewhat resolved, and now..."

What remained was to train in spatial magic.

I had gained some understanding of spatial magic.

I grasped the framework of space and could see new realms.

Yet, I lacked the ability to apply it.

The spatial magic I knew involved things like spatial slicing or teleportation.

Applying spatial magic meant influencing this framework.

Spatial slicing could be predicted as cutting through this framework.

But how does teleportation work? That was my biggest question.

In fact, teleportation and time magic didn't seem very different.

The concept of 'transferring' was the same in both.

I slowly recalled my fight with Aryandor.

Aryandor used time magic, and his form disappeared.

This concept of 'disappearing' was the issue.

Typically, in teleportation magic, the form doesn't disappear.

One might be visually deceived into thinking it has disappeared, but in a situation where one is aware of spatial magic, that shouldn't happen.

So what had Aryandor done to cause such an event?

No, let's not look too far ahead.

I need to understand the basics first.

Spatial magic is not a magic that occurs in the physical world.

It's magic that influences an invisible realm.

I mustn't forget that aspect.

"So spatial slicing is..."

Literally magic that slices through space? But I couldn't think of a way to slice through space.

I could only perceive space but did not know how to influence it.

"I wonder if I should visit my uncle..."

Then a fact suddenly struck me.

Perrian.

Perrian was in this mansion.

If there was someone here who could teach me spatial magic, there was no need to seek out my uncle.

Moreover, Perrian was someone who could actually use spatial magic.

He could show me examples, making him a better teacher than my uncle.

With this in mind, I moved towards the office.
