Duke, Please Repent! chapter 290

52. The Duke's Interrogation (3)

In [Master of the Holy Sword], Anima instantly created a magic to stop the Living Dead just by seeing the demon giving orders to the Living Dead.

So, it is understandable that Edna praised Anima's magic skills.

'Even though the system for giving orders is different, the core system related to

Am I coming from a single stem?'

As soon as it appeared, the attack was over.

If so, would the readers who read [Master of the Holy Sword] questioned, 'If that's the case, why did you create the Living Dead setting?'

The appearance of the Living Dead is no different from that of a human being, and terrorism using the self-destruct function.

A villain who wants his dead lover to come back to life, even if he is just a moving corpse.

If it hadn't come out again in some other way, it would have been forgotten in my memory as a one-time setting.

"By the way, what about that Living Dead now?"

"You can just blow it up while surrounded by a barrier."

"Then the serpens must bear all that power, right?"

That's fine.

Serpence answered my question indifferently.

But it's really simple

If it wasn't for the burden, I'd blow it up sooner.

Defending against an explosion that explodes from the outside is a different matter.

Also, it is not known at this time how much the old monkey captured the explosion output of that Living Dead.

'It's kind of like looking at the wreckage... .'

Best of all, you can't leave Serpens to dispose of bombs every time you face the Living Dead.

If Akseung finds out about this, he will continue to send the Living Dead for terrorism that has increased its power to an extremely high level.

If that happens, the burden on Serpens will gradually increase.

The moment I thought it would be better to sacrifice one subspace pocket.

"I do you think I can solve it?"

Edna carefully opened her mouth and said.

Naturally, the eyes of me and Serpens turned to her.

"The magic circle and the demonstrator were related to the operation of the Living Dead. At the end, the string was changed by overwriting it, so it almost became a magic that increases the power of explosion "

Even if I say that, I don't know.

Looking at Serpence, he nodded in that sense.

It was also surprising to hear that the old monkey tried to detonate the Living Dead, knowing that he was going to die too, but it was just an evil victory.

What's even more surprising is Edna's words that he thinks he'll be able to stop the Living Dead.

It was.

It is rare to find someone who interprets other people's magic on the fly, but it's not entirely out of the question.

However, it is almost impossible to peek at the magic circle of an unfinished castle that was deliberately twisted and use the proper magic.

'I thought the only person who could do that was anima .'

If all wizards could do that, there would be no need for a teacher, and if they had developed magic, it would have become a common good for all.

I couldn't see her magic in [Master of the Holy Sword], so I just didn't know. It seems that Edna's skills are more substantial than I thought.

Serpens also looked at Ed me with amazement.

Is this really possible? I don't doubt Mr. Benevolen's abilities, but otherwise everyone here will be in danger.

you I know But I think it's possible... .

Edna mumbled, avoiding Serpens's eyes. I don't know if I have it or not.

Serpens' gaze at her sharpened.

"What are you hiding?"

Sue, are you hiding?!

If you know anything, please tell me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Didn't you learn something from the author's magic?

Suddenly mood interrogation, what?

At first I was bewildered by what Serpence was talking about, but

Edna's reaction was strange.

you], so how to stop that...

There have been methods of manipulating the mind of a living person for a long time, but there is no magic in the world that makes a dead person look like a living person. It is difficult.

"You know a lot about magic ?"

From a young age, I read the literature about demon worshipers to fight against them.

Look, it was natural.

As I read the textbook, I heard that it was translated as saying that I was naturally ranked first in the entire school.

If you didn't know the growth process of Serpence, you might have thought that it was ostentatious.

You are amazing.

Edna admired without a soul with a trembling expression.

Edna, who lived with the genius Anima next to him, was like that, but if anyone else had heard of it, how unlucky would Serpence feel?

It's all good because only I and Edna have ears to hear.

"Have you ever seen the same magic if not, have you ever seen a similar magic?"

that is .

Please, tell me. Demon worshipers are hiding all over the continent. To find them, you have to gather even the smallest clues.

Well .

Shion believed that and even told him that he was the head of the Illuminati...

As if he had been betrayed by a person he trusted, Serpens created an expression that appropriately mixed sadness and shock.

As if he was holding back the crying that did not come out, he covered his mouth with his hand and lowered his head at 45 .

Blue light bangs gently flowed down, creating a light shade around Serpens' eyes. It's like a mischievous female protagonist who has fallen into disappointment.

Serpense even does that, but Edna with her mouth shut is amazing too.

She turned her head and saw Serpens.

I tried not to look.

"Is it related to Pruitto?"

Edna shrugged her shoulders.

If not, you'd be furious at how you could tie an anima to something like a demon. She had the face of a person who was stabbed in the corner.

do it If there was any reason for her to ignore what might have been at stake in the existence of the continent, that was the only reason.

'But the anima has something to do with that magic"?'

Such a talk is a no-brainer.

When the Living Dead first appeared in [Master of the Holy Sword], Anima didn't say anything.

"Even if you tell the truth, we will not misunderstand Mr. Fruito."

Serpens didn't even saliva on his lips and lied.

Shut up anything that can be doubted, and the person who doubts and sees it will not do well.

All misunderstandings result from lack of information, and misunderstandings lead to doubts. If you keep your mouth shut like this,

Regardless of my will... . You might be suspicious of Mr. Benevolen and Mr. Pruito, D.

Oh, okay. I'll tell you.

Edna took a deep breath and raised the white flag at Serpens's action, pretending to be sad and pouring out threats.

As Mr. Prasidus said, I've seen magic similar to this before. I've used it before.

With this, the fact that Anima never said anything like that in [Master of the Holy Sword] became irrelevant.

'The magic that Edna used

So they must have pretended to be seeing each other for the first time.'

Basically, [Master of the Holy Sword] is a novel that proceeds from the author's point of view.

Corruption fence secretly plotting behind the scenes, when writing a narration that commits evil deeds, etc.

Occasionally, it was described based on the corruption fence, but most of it was described with a focus on Humanus.

'Is this what you call a limited or selective writer's point of view?'

What Humanus Sees. what you feel Thinking.

To unravel those elements into a novel

It is the [Master of the Holy Sword].

'Otherwise, Edna's name would have appeared in the work.'

If the Anima was confused by seeing the Living Dead and thinking of Ed Na, it is unlikely that Noon Sanus would have noticed.

As a result, naturally, the description must have been omitted from [Master of the Holy Sword].

Ah! Of course, I never did anything that violated the doctrine of the Church. I can swear!

''Yes. I don't think either of you would have done something like that.

Serpens smiled softly.

answered.

If it hadn't been for slashing the back of the manager with a scabbard, who came to his senses for a moment, he would have looked really gentle.

If I was tired, I would have passed out and fell asleep for hours.

I don't know why I keep waking up because I slept so well at night after making others suffer.

"The magic that I used was not to move these corpses, but to move dolls."

If it's a 'doll'...

"It's literally just a doll.

An ordinary doll with cotton that can be obtained easily.

Serpens wondered if the doll had any other meaning, but the answer he returned was that it was just an ordinary doll.

"I had to manipulate the human body, not the doll, so I had to rip it up here and there but the core system that makes it move is obviously the magic we made for playing with dolls when we were young."

I can't imagine how fantastically they made the alternative doll play.

Ummm... who knows the magic

Only two minutes?"

I only thought it was like that... I guess it wasn't.

"Where did you mainly use that magic?"

"At the tower .Is there a devil's nape in the tower?"

I can't make a quick decision, but...

Serpens muffled his speech.

Usually, it means 'I can't make a quick decision, but it seems like that', but when he says it, it means 'That one is still suspicious.'

Please put aside the problems that cannot be solved right now, and please stop this operation first.

Because of the detonation function, I think we should take a closer look at the circuit.

At Edna's words, Serpens broke the barrier surrounding the Living Dead.

Even if he was in doubt, he decided that he had to show his faith right away.

Is it because I need to take a closer look?

This time, instead of stepping on Serpence with her feet, Edna tied the Living Dead tightly with her bondage magic.

Edna sat down on the floor, walked on the blanket, and looked over the Living Dead.

Serpens looked at her behavior closely, pretending not to be interested.

After an hour had passed, Edna got up and left.

"Would you mind holding on for a moment?"

When Serpens stepped on the living dead's abdomen, Edna dispelled the bondage spell.

After bringing the tip of the staff to the heart of the Living Dead, she enchanted the staff with magical powers. staff

Once passed, the refined magic drew a small magic circle.

The magic circle seemed to shine, and the wriggling Living Dead became quiet.

Wow, that evil beast. He said it was an incredibly complicated magic...

"It must have been because I had lost my understanding of this magic."

As if I had heard the murmur, Edna answered the staff as she pulled back. It's a very disrespectful fight.

He must have been angry that he had corrupted the magic of his memories with the Anima.

I fully understand her feelings.

If a monkey poisons the meatball tomato risotto with memories of Serpens, I'd be very angry too.
