Duke, Please Repent! chapter 243

44. The Duke and the Dark House Later (2)

Huh? Didn't the 口卜 say that Iniri t口 came out earlier? Did you catch them all by yourself?

Puror, who was following us two or three steps behind us, suddenly asked if he had any doubts.

Serpense lowered her head with a bitter expression at her question.

It was purely my mistake that the devil was summoned.

Yes? It's a mistake...

What?! Sefi made a mistake?!

Puror's counter-questions were buried by the voice of Humanus.

He shouted so loudly that Anima, who was walking blankly, was startled and almost fell.

The demon was summoned using the demon's body as a vessel. Demon worshipers drew a demon summoning circle on his body and prepared blood jade to be used as a sacrifice, etc.

was finished.

"Is it possible to draw a magic circle on a human body?"

Humanus paused Serpense's explanation for a moment and looked back at the Anima and asked a question.

Like an office worker who does nothing on the way home from work due to poor cell phone battery management. The focus returned to Anima's eyes, which had been lost.

It's possible. It's just that the process of engraving it is painful, and when magic is activated, it sucks not only mana but also life force. Because it's alive'

My flow is not stagnant, so in terms of activating the magic circle, it would be better than engraving on inanimate objects?"

I've never heard of magic being used that way...?

Because it is strictly forbidden in the tower. Even if the target is not a person, it is taboo to engrave magic on living creatures.

Anima frowned and said with a look of disgust just by hearing it.

But, if you have a magic circle engraved on your body, you can get a lifeline when you're in a car.

Could this be?"

As if he had heard the word taboo, Furore spoke to the anima with a slightly tempting expression on his face.

Indeed, he is from a mercenary who risked his life for the rest of his life.

Anima's face wrinkled even more at her words.

"Aren't you talking about wanting to become a magic test subject at all? It's artificially twisting the flow and creating a new path that shouldn't be there. Even if you don't activate magic, cracks form in your body little by little, and it gradually spreads until eventually.

will shatter like broken glass?"

Isn't it okay to engrave for a short time before an important battle...?

Assuming you use it in a short period of time, you can endure it once or twice, but if you're going to use it that way, it's better to buy a scroll. That's what a warlock would do.

" that's it."

In response to Anima's continued explanation, Puror snorted and wiped the back of his neck with his palm with an expression of disappointment.

Seeing this, the anima snorted and turned her head away.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm a little out of touch. Anyway?

When the speed wagon Anima finished explaining, Humanus spoke to Serpens again.

If you are an ordinary person, your emotional lines have all collapsed in the meantime, but if you press the smoke fence, go away from the vending machine.

The guy immediately made a sad expression on his face.

if . I killed him right away...

Otherwise, the devil would not have been summoned.

uh ?

But I couldn't do that. Even though I knew the opponent was a demon... I hesitated to take his life with his sword pointed at him. Just because he was once a man and wore human skin .

Well, come to think of it... Sepi, you've never been there before.

No object was needed.

At Humanus' words, Serpens burst into tears with a face that could not be helped.

and nodded.

Someday like I did Eugenes knew that Serpense's actions were acting, but he had a look on his face that he felt sorry for him and didn't know what to do.

Why are you blaming yourself for something like that? It's like that in the first place. It was really hard for me too... Sepi, it must have been especially true for someone like you who has a soft heart and cherishes life. I understand.

" is that the answer?"

Serpens made a bewildered face.

The question is, why don't you criticize yourself for letting the devil be summoned to the continent?

Humanus was perplexed by the guy's reaction.

Huh? The demon was summoned, but you caught it before it caused a lot of damage? Everyone makes mistakes. Whether you can fix it or not is important, and you've solved it. Is there any problem?

By the way, Sepi, you're making mistakes too, right? Always with perfect lines.

I thought... . Human and good looking!

Humanus smiled furiously and patted Serpens on the back with his palms.

Serpens was wearing a thin shirt because he had taken off his coat earlier, and because of that, a really squeaking sound rang out.

'dare ! Do you mean to beat Serpence's precious back so mercilessly like that?!'

No matter how nice you are, you can't help but cry.

Perhaps he noticed how I felt, Serpens, who had been quietly welcoming me, twisted his body to avoid the touch of Humanus.

Violence was not the goal, so Humanus did not stop him from fleeing.

"Is it because of those who were victims of demon summoning?"

He didn't seem to even think about avoiding it because he was uncomfortable.

What should I do with these eyes?

I really don't know. Serpense also seems to have no idea.

But they said they had blood. You don't need to blame yourself for what has already happened out of reach. I don't know if you promise to make an effort to prevent that from happening in the future. Wouldn't it be conceited?"

Ummm

Worrying about me, I was bloody and nabal, and the humble fence that didn't even think about that for a minute or one second drooled.

' I mean, it's a bummer, but seeing what he's talking about, he's like the main character.'

Luxmea's selection of Humanus as the master of the Holy Sword is a very good cut.

It would have been great if the Holy Sword had only the Eyes Enhancement buff applied.

Now that I'm done with Mick's ordeal, what do I have to say, but... Until the day of choice comes, I think I know how much burden we've burdened you with.

Yes?

I'm glad that I had a colleague by my side over the past year, and I may not have been able to do it alone.

I don't know how many times I did There were many times when I was able to overcome because I was with my colleagues. At that time, Mida, I thought of you.

Humanus scratched his cheek as if embarrassed and spoke, Serpens looked at him with the eyes of 'What are you thinking of me?'

Of course, he pretended to listen seriously as much as he looked on his face.

I think that you have been carrying the weight that I share with my colleagues, so I'm grateful and I'm sorry... But thank you for reaching out your hand willingly first.

Yes ?

Serpens made an expression that he did not understand English. Seriously, not acting.

After chewing deeply to see if he had ever reached out to Humanus, he concluded that he had not.

Why, you said on the day of choice.

In response to Humanus' words, Serpens said, 'It's not my fault that I came up with that remark first.

On the day of choice, anyone who knew the events that took place there would have remembered the same thing.

Can not help it. It is irresistible.

'As if Humanus was still there.'

Serpense also remembered the same thing as me, so his expression became subtle. Not knowing what expression to make, he raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth awkwardly.

It's a face that anyone can see.

It's embarrassing...!

If you know what Serpence and I have in mind, you may not know that you are the one who is ashamed.

The master of the holy sword alone bears all the burdens

Saying you don't have to. And those words that I would not let go of everything, leaving everything to the master of the holy sword.

Ah .

Serpens let out a short exclamation at Humanus's remarks.

He probably didn't mean it that way, but to Humanus, he could have thought that Serpens had reached out a helping hand in the first place.

"At the time, I was just confident and cool, and Sefi is full of responsibility, I hate it.

You know what you said You reached out a helping hand so that I wouldn't be weighed down by the weight... . Did you realize that only recently?"

I didn't know that Humanus would have accepted Serpense's words like that.

Serpence, who was just trying to defend himself to manage his image, made up a shy smile according to Seong-hyeon's old saying that good things are good.

If someone you don't know sees it, they will only know that you are ashamed of the compliments pouring out in front of you.

'There is no such thing as a completely misunderstood novel,

Nothing else!'

Liena put her hands together and looked at Serpens with respect, and from Purore's mouth, 'Oh... '!' came out.

Eugenes turned his head and wiped away tears as he remembered Serpence's past, and Winston opened his chest, proud of his master.

I'm glad that you have a trusted colleague right now-.

Serpens, who had been in pain for four months because he could not trust his comrade a while ago, looked at the ground and hurried his steps.

And me too. No matter what happens, I'm your friend, so you can trust and rely on it.

For a long time, is it because of the depth of emotions that Humanus has shoveled?

Usually at this point, it is enough to shake, but Serpens did not show agitation. It just shows a faint smile.

And the conversation stopped for a while.

It was also because Serpens wasn't sure what to answer to Humanus' words, but rather,

is probably due to the traces of the battle.

May I ask what happened?"

Serpens skipped Humanus, whom he had been talking to a while ago, and asked Euges a question.

About an hour from the start of the auction, these guys came in through the gate.

An hour later, the auction was about to close.

I wondered if Serpence had intentionally informed me of the time zone, and when I asked him, he blinked quickly.

she denied

"At that time, I thought I would contact you, but immediately after that, people appeared through the five gates at the same time, and suddenly they explode?"

"People exploded?!"

Unknowingly, I was shocked and shouted at the unexpected explosion ending.

Even at my screaming shouts, Eugene calmly nodded.

"According to Anima-sama's explanation, their bodies were implanted with black magic, and a trigger that exploded when exposed to a specific wave of magic was attached.

do. And that magic wave passed through the gate magic and arrived at the destination."

Rather than finding and destroying numerous gates scattered throughout the Empire, it was better to destroy the five gates in the dark district where they gather.

What came through the gate meant that it was nothing more than a terrorist bomb in human disguise.

Are they demon worshipers? Or is it a miserable person who has been captured from somewhere?

If the explosion was enough to destroy the gate, it would be difficult to even find its identity.

feel uncomfortable

And right here Demon worshipers appeared on the cave side as well. And they bombed all the way here to block the entrance. I ran from the gated area to here and was not in the mood to contact them.

It was said that the demons were trying to bury us alive.
