Duke, Please Repent! chapter 289

52. The Duke's Interrogation (2)

Before waking up the demon, the bondage magic that tied the demon and the manager was released and tied with a normal rope.

The manager is just an ordinary person, and the old man, Akseungi, is a warlock, so he doesn't have the strength to break the rope.

Currently, there is a limit of two magic that Edna can use at the same time.

Rather than tying the monkey tighter, eh

It's better to have Dana ready to use magic besides soundproofing.

After checking the knot carefully, Serpens poked the old monkey with his sword to wake him up.

"Ugh

"Are you out of your mind?"

Seeing the face of Serpens, the old monkey swallowed the wind and was terribly surprised. It's like seeing some kind of ghost.

Before we talk, wait over that

Could you give me an order?"

He said, pointing to the Living Dead struggling within the Holy Barrier.

Like a corpse that does not feel pain, the Living Dead moved its arms and legs even though its bones were broken, and the duvet wrapped around them was lifted to reveal its face.

The dazed eyes without focus are creepy.

"My, why should I do that?"

The monkey smiled shyly and answered shamelessly.

Since Serpens came out as a request, it seems that there is nothing to see.

Did he not hear anything about the serpents of the [Master of the Holy Sword] time period from the Demon King?'

Sometimes it looks like your mouth is open even if you are drowning in water, and it seems like you are talking about before returning home, but other times your mouth is as heavy as a thousand pounds.

While there are demons who claim that Serpens killed their parents, the demon of the dark house tells Serpens that they have never killed anyone.

'...Were you talking about your parents without certainty?'

Even considering that, opinions differ too much.

Maybe the demon king couldn't understand Serpence's interpretation, or maybe the devil and the old monkey in front of him were nothing more than scraps and didn't receive information.

I never know

- Slap!

As he was about to fall into deep thought, a shrill sound echoed through the director's office.

Edna slapped the old monkey on the back of the head with her palm. Since he didn't have much hair left, the friction sounded properly.

I can't listen to a bastard like this when he says nice things. So, Mr. Prasidus, don't be polite to a bastard like this either.

Edna said, without hesitation, referring to the old man, who looked much older than him, 'bastard'.

Perhaps because there were no children in front of her, her words became very comfortable.

But I don't want to be friendly with someone like that.

If you think so...

Thank you for your understanding.

It is up to the individual to decide what kind of tone to use. There was nothing to understand and sleep, but Serpens responded politely and politely.

In fact, since he was talking about friendliness right in front of him, I felt a sense of distance.

By the way, do you use nonsense? According to Anima's letter, it is also to the owner of the Holy Sword, whom he has been close to since childhood...

Kuk-!

The moment Edna put out the question that suddenly came to mind, she suddenly became angry.

The evil monkey screamed.

As soon as Humanus was mentioned, Serpens threw a holy power sphere at the demon.

The man who was silent even when the back of his head was slapped, as the divine power permeated his body, his body twisted to and fro.

It is the result of the clash of divine power and black magic within.

Sorry, I'm sorry. I felt the flow of black magic, so I had to stop it in a hurry...

Serpens said, pretending to be perplexed.

It was only done reflexively. The reaction was that he was surprised

all.

However, seeing the monkey with his mouth wide open and looking at him with an absurd expression, what he said is clearly a lie.

I'm sure. Serpense's... .

'Oh! You don't have anything to hang out with today because you've distributed all Serpense's snacks to the children?!'

I'm very sorry匸] .

I must not be vigilant.

Edna, who believed Serpense's words, hardened her face and glared at the old demon.

Even though the demon had been subdued, she did not slow down and grabbed the staff tightly.

Why?

The old monkey's expression is somehow familiar. The expression on the female monkey who pretended to be trapped inside a cage on Semita Street was exactly that.

Come on, come on... Did I say living dead?

Edna didn't talk to the demon, but turned around and asked me a question. When talking to Serpence, I can remember the term I said just once, as if passing by.

did.

As I drew a circle with my finger, she nodded knowingly.

Come on, calm that Living Dead.

You have to use magic to do that...

At Edna's coercive words, the devil rolled his eyes and said.

Edna snorted as she looked down at the monkey.

X-chan. There wasn't anything like that when you rushed me earlier.

choice day.

The word referring to the part where everyone said hello to Humanus came out of Edna's mouth.

If you leave it alone, you will be able to find your nephew's 18-color crayons in the Siberian plains.

Eh, Mr. Edna! Hold on! How about using a milder language...?

"I'll be gentle, will this bastard listen to me?"

"I agree with that opinion a hundred times, but it's not something I would say in front of a child, would it?"

" Yes? Where is the child?"

Look at Serpence's eyes! In front of those innocent eyes twinkling, did I have to say such a swear word?!

I shouted at Serpens.

Innocent fence, who had been pointed at, reflexively made an innocent expression and tilted his head, he suddenly came to his senses and dyed his face red.

Yeah, that's right. I need to be careful...

I'm glad she understands.

I thought I did it, so I took a serpent

thumbs up towards He averted his gaze as if he was ashamed of me.

ungrateful

"So, how do I make it quiet?"

Serpence, who had become bloated for nothing, asked the old monkey a question.

Because you have to give orders with real magic! Previously, it was only possible by giving the order to attack if you send a signal before entering!

Akseungi shouted and expressed his injustice.

Whenever he avoided his gaze, Serpens looked at me with a gaze asking if that was true.

The question is whether there was such a scene in [Master of the Holy Sword].

I don't think that's a lie, do you?

Edna was watching, so I looked around a bit.

Serpens nodded slightly to signify that he understood, and looked at the old monkey again.

"Then, if you know the magic, can you control the other Living Dead?"

"Kuh, it's impossible to do that because the corresponding magic wavelengths are different."

Is there any way to completely stop that motion without risking an explosion?

"Why do I have to tell you that?"

For some reason, I wanted to give you a gentle answer. The old monkey immediately smirked and pulled away.

"Did you forget that we are holding the chain of your life right now?"

Then let me kill you.

It's not because we couldn't kill you...!

I know. Isn't it because of the information?

The old monkey sneered at Edna's words, sarcastic in a tone full of ridicule.

As a member of the Eastern Court who knows how to respect adults, I wish I could think like this, but I really want to hit him.

Before confronting the Heretical Inquisitor, it would be better for them to cooperate now.

Kick , hee, huh, hahahaha! Are you calling that a threat now? My trust in him is nothing more than torture.

"Have you ever been tortured?"

This world, given by Luxmea and the like, is suffering itself, and asking such a foolish question!

A sense of pity passed through Serpens's eyes as he looked at the demon.

But if you see it come out like that even after screaming all the time because of Serpence's divine power just a few minutes ago,

There seems to be some point of belief.

"Mr. Prasidus. Can you do that again?"

If it were...

No, no. I was wrong. I'll just do it.

There is something unusual about Edna's words.

She seemed to be asking Serpens for something, then changed her words abruptly and concentrated her magic on the staff.

Blue magic began to draw intricate magical characters and geometric patterns in the air.

all. As a result, the monkey's face became four colors.

Oh, okay, okay! Shouldn't we just calm that down right now!

I thought I had courage, but I guess I was wrong?

The monkey stopped Edna with an urgent cry.

"Even if I make it quiet, doesn't it explode when my magic power runs out?"

I will make you stop completely.

Edna smiled brightly as if she knew it would, and disrupted the magical power in the air. Now that I see it, I'm scared on purpose

That's what I was thinking of giving.

In terms of personality..., Ttt!

what?!

Uhhhhhhh!! This is pretty delicate magic... I told you to borrow the staff.

When Edna asked the question in a sharp voice, the old monkey roared.

It's worth looking into.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Edna took a deep breath and pushed magic into the staff once more.

Okay, okay! I'll just do it! Don't tell me it's slow instead.

Okay, so just hurry up!

Before that, we need to remove the holy barrier surrounding the Living Dead...

The monkey looked into Edna's eyes with a frightened expression and said.

Sending a signal to stop is of no use if the divine barrier interferes with it.

As soon as Serpence lifted the Holy Barrier, he crushed the writhing Living Dead with his feet and immobilized it.

Kerume! Then we'll start.

It's amazing how he keeps the old man's tone throughout his poems when he succumbs to threats.

Black magic drew a complex pattern in the air.

Serpens focused his attention on the black magic that embroidered the air, whether he didn't mind the Living Dead wriggling under his feet.

'I'm guessing you're just trying to make sure that the monkeys are trying to trick you into the magic circle.'

Edna often glanced at the Living Dead, but her gaze was almost

He stayed in the magic circle in the air.

'I can't see.'

Perhaps there was no lie in the demon's words of a delicate magic circle, the black lines were intricately intertwined and the characters were crushed.

I turned my gaze away from the magic circle and looked at the demon. The corners of the monkey's mouth, which had a frightened expression on his face, suddenly curled up.

Before I even felt the strangeness of that smile... .

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The monkey screamed

all. The reason is that Edna's Lightning magic and Serpens' divine power exploded at the same time.

'Somehow, he followed me gently... .'

just as expected. I think I've been messing around with the magic circle.

The reason I said it was complicated must have been a base meal to deceive.

As the demon lost concentration and the black magic was scattered, Serpens spread divine power to purify it.

In the process, the demon, who was within the sphere of influence of purification, struggled again with pain and passed out.

Serpens re-imagined the Living Dead

After wrapping it in fire and divine barriers, he glanced at me with a worried expression.

'I've seen more, so maybe you'll be surprised by something like this.'

Let's sell our worries

I blinked slowly to signify that it was okay.

Is it possible that Mr. Prasidus also interpreted the magic circle?! It is rare among wizards who can interpret the magic circle drawn in real time...

Edna marveled at how strange the serpens that used divine power at the same time as himself were.

Serpens' gaze, who was looking at me, turned to her.

"No , um Mr. Benevolen is also great."

Serpence, who had been habitually denying praise, changed direction and praised Edna.

It is rewarding to teach

"Anima] , this is nothing compared to the child's ability."

I've heard it's not a good thing to deny compliments. You can be confident, Mr. Benevolen.

I'm not denying compliments, I'm bragging about our anima as being more amazing.

Still, it's good not to deny compliments. I'll keep that in mind in the future.

That's what Zion told me.

I don't know what kind of conversation this is.

Hearing a stunned monkey would be terrifying and stuffy.

But what our kids are proud of

So, let's just leave it alone.
