Chapter 105
*Swish, splash.*
Elise wiped every inch of Ottos damp, sweaty body with a cold washcloth.
Then she dried him off with another dry towel.
Mmmmmm.
Ottos face relaxed a bit, indicating that his fever had cooled.
But Elise didnt end it there, though.
*Sshhh*
Elises hands, glistening with blue mana, massaged every inch of Ottos body.
The mana in her hands soaked into Ottos skin and muscles, helping him to recover.
It didnt stop there.
It penetrated into every nook and cranny of his blood vessels, ridding them of impurities.
Fianc. Recovering well is also training, allowing you to return to your training in the best possible condition.
Then.
*Creak!*
Feeling a sudden strong presence, Camille opened the bedroom door and locked eyes with Elise, who was massaging Otto.
!
Camille was stunned.
Already?
Camille freaked out, thinking Elise was going to eat Otto.
Otto in just his underwear.
And Elise, whos fondling him.
No matter how he looked at it, it was that kind of scene.
You dont have to worry about anything.
Elise said to Camille.
I I hope you have a good time.
Camille bowed his head in respect, then turned on his heel and left the bedroom.
Then.
Is he asleep?
It was then that Conrad visited Ottos bedroom.
He was worried about Otto and wanted to make certain he was sleeping well.
Youve been through a lot. Why dont you just get some rest? Our knights will be guarding this place anyway.
Ah, yes.
Is he sleeping well, and not tossing and turning? I heard he took some medication.
Thats.
Just checking in to see how my grandson is doing.
I dont think you should go in there right now.
Um, what do you mean?
Well, Lady Elise is inside.
Wha, what?!
Well, thats what happened.
Camille trailed off, turning his head to avoid Conrads gaze.
Huh. Is this how they say theyre fast?
Arent all young men and women fast these days?
However, its still like that
I have nothing more to say.
Well, these young people these days.
Conrad shook his head slightly and then turned to walk away.
Meanwhile, Otto
Mmm. There, there. No. Hmm. Oh, yeah, thats it. Hmph. Hmph. Hmph.
Elise frowned slightly as Otto suddenly let out a lustful moan, but she quickly shook it off.
And then.
Mmm?
Otto groggily opened his eyes.
!
Ottos eyes locked with Elises.
*Bam!*
Elise hit Otto in the head.
Thud!
Otto was struck squarely in the top of the head by Elises fist, and was instantly knocked unconscious.
Afterward, Elise continued to massage every inch of Ottos body as if nothing had happened.
However, the area she massaged most intensively was.
You must be thinking a lot. You must have a lot of tension built up in your head.
Elise concentrated her massage on Ottos head and neck.
The area around Ottos head was incredibly stiff.
This was due to his habit of frowning while thinking about various things.
So, Otto would complain of headaches even when nothing in particular hurt.
When the muscles around your head are tight, not only do you get a headache, but you also have poor circulation. Your brain is important to improve your swordsmanship. Your mana core. The heart. And the brain. Only when these three components are evenly balanced will you reach new heights.
Mm-hmm.
Ill teach you in time, but for now, get some quality sleep.
Elise gently eased the muscles around Ottos head and dressed him again before she rose from her position.

Effect: This anklet forms a set with the Pursuers Compass. Allows the wearer to be tracked at any time.

Wear it, and I will always be able to find you.
.
Then I wont have to arrange a time and place to meet you.
Absolutely no way!!!
Its like an electronic shackle!!!
Thank you.
Otto inwardly sobbed and put on the <Anklet of the Pursued>.
*Clang!*
An unpleasant metallic sound resounded.
Well, Ill see you in a month.
Yes.
With the magic anklet securely attached to Otto, Elise reared her horse and rode off toward the Northern Wall.
Hehehe! See you next time, grandson-in-law! Brother! Well meet soon! Hehehehe!
Laughing heartily, Giancarlo rode out of the Kuntachi Duchy following after Elise.
.
Conrad and Otto, who were unable to respond, stood silent and dazed.
Both of them were at a loss for words, having suddenly been caught in a situation that neither of them had expected.
After a long period of silence.
Grandfather?
Otto looked back at Conrad.
What the hell were you thinking, making such a promise years ago.
Hoo! Humph!
Without responding to Ottos remark, Conrad coughed unnecessarily and avoided eye contact then turned on his heels.
He slipped out of the room with a furtive pace.
Otto, forgive this grandfather of yours! But who would have thought that nasty Giancarlo would have ever gotten such a monster of a granddaughter!
Conrad could not bring himself to look Otto in the face, ashamed of the promises he had made in the past that he was unable to fulfill.
* * * /novel/i-became-a-level-99-vicious-lord/ * * *
Otto and the others didnt leave the Kuntachi Duchy right away.
Kairos had other business to attend to.
What, you want to give my men physical bodies?
Yes.
Does that work? Im not sure. This isnt the same as with me.
Otto wasnt entirely confident that he could manage to make Kaiross subordinates, who were within the <Phantom Armor>, into humans. After all, Kairos soul resided inside a cherished relic in the form of a mace, and his spirit hadnt wandered as a wraith.
Is there really a way?
Why dont we ask and find out?
The Kuntachi family was a renowned clan, skilled in both swordsmanship and magic. With a fair number of skilled beings and blood relatives proficient in magic, it was the ideal environment to seek counsel.
Were here.
Otto immediately took Kairos and went to Conrad.
Huh?
Conrad was caught off guard by Ottos surprise visit.
He was panicking because he had been carefully avoiding Otto and was ambushed.
What are you doing here, hehehe. If youre coming to see this old man, you should have notified me in advance.
Im not going to criticize you, so relax.
Huh?
Whats the point of blaming my grandfather when the waters already been spilled, it wont change anything.
Well, I guess you have a point.
Ill just die, at the hands of my fiance, and even if Im lucky enough to survive, Ill be captured for the rest of my life, never to be heard from again.
.
She says shell break up with me if I beat her.
Thats good, you have the power of an invincible emperor, there is hope!
Thats quite a hopeful perspective.
Otto snorted sarcastically.
By the time Otto gained the power of the Invincible Emperor and became the strongest man on the continent, Elise would be invincible, unbeatable in a one-on-one fight.
For now, lets save that for later.
Hmm?
Do you happen to know of anyone in the family who is familiar with black magic?
Black magic what kind of black magic are you talking about, exactly?
For example undead, or ghosts?
Hmm. There is one person who comes to mind in that area.
Who is he?
Elder Alphondal is very well versed in such matters, so it would be a good idea to pay him a visit.
Thank you.
Otto immediately set out to find the Kuntachi elder named Alphondal.
