Chapter 324

[ Episode 324. The Choice of Nivas]

“Ah Adrias Cromwell. Why are you here...!”



Jester’s confused reaction when he saw me was cute.

“Are we fools? I know you can move your body, but would you have just attacked?”

“Nonsense! I am the only one who knows where this place is!”

Jester was right.

But I’ve already dealt with Jester dozens of times.

‘Dozens of times? No, if you add the saves and loads, it will be hundreds of times.’

It’s foolish not to know Jester’s hiding place after doing that.

Of course, I told the people around me that I found out through Evan’s intelligence organization or Morne.

“There is a way to know everything. So surrender meekly.”

“Khehehe. Just kill them.”

Jester only laughed with his skeleton body.

Right after the transfer, he was in a weakened state, so he seemed to have given up fighting, probably thinking that he had no chance of defeating me.

“Now I see that you were an idiot.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Why should I kill you? Are you worried about it? And there is something wrong...”

Jester Jester.

You touched something you shouldn’t have touched.

“You didn’t think you dared to hurt my family, but you didn’t think you could get out of there unharmed.”

The anger he had endured for so long rose up coldly.

“You cannot survive even if you are metastasized here.”

“Funny. Nothing in this world can kill me!”

“Ha ha...”

A terrifying feeling ran over his face.

It was anger in the form of a smile.

“Edengar Magnakazim Jevenbrid Kolsia Belpierre.”

“.......”

“I know where your body is hidden, Jester.”

How many times do you think I ruined the game because of you?

The warlocks belonging to the assembly were all powerful and demanding. It would be better if it was simply strong, but due to the nature of black magic, there were also abilities in completely unpredictable directions.

That’s why I attacked more thoroughly.

“Do I still look like the kid I used to be, Jester?”

I drove a wedge towards Jester, who couldn’t even react.

“You lost to me.”

“......Heh heh heh.......”

The magic was activated without any sign.

A magic activated by a magic circle engraved on the skeleton’s bones.

It was a black hand I had seen before.

Sgung!

Piing——–!

However, Vivian, who was next to him, cut him down in an instant.

“Aren’t you looking at us as water, Jester? It’s messy. The reputation of being a Warlock is insignificant.”

“I! If I hadn’t been in a metastasized state, the two of you would...!”

“Jester.”

I walked slowly towards him.

Then Jester stunned and stepped back.

“I know why you still don’t give up. I told you where your body is, but I didn’t tell you one important thing.”

Even if all of her extra body is in danger, the reason she clings to even the tiniest bit of hope is, of course, the confidence that she can survive.

“I haven’t told you where the body is hidden yet, right?”

“Don’t lie to me...”

Jester shook his head in disbelief.

“Do not lie! You couldn’t have known that!”

“I know you’ve been hiding the existence of your main body, but there’s no way I’d lie.”

I used shadow black magic to bind Jester at once.

“Adrias Cromwell! You son of a bitch!”

“You shouldn’t have attacked my family.”

I looked at Jester with cold eyes.

“You should have attacked me. The result would have been the same, though.” The

shadows

became more and more intertwined.

Jester was tied up without even resisting, as if he really had no strength.

“How the hell did you know? Let’s just know that before we die.”

“Magic?”

Jester’s body trembled at my words.

“It was that bastard, too.”

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

“What did you get that information from Maxwell for?”

“You don’t need to know that. I’m destined to die anyway.”

Looking at Jester, who arbitrarily mistakenly thought that Maxwell had informed him, he thought that he had a good excuse.

Come to think of it, Maxwell might have known enough. Because it’s a warlock that specializes in information.

Wood deok!

“Turn it off.”

Jester’s body cracked as if the shadow’s power was stronger than he thought.

“Heh heh. Even though I’ve become like this, don’t be relieved. I don’t think the other guys will just watch me suffer.”

“It’s about time...”

Jester’s main body was entrusted to Morne.

I’ll probably break the body soon.

“No one knows what Hegel is thinking. Aika Imp is also much stronger than me in terms of strength alone. And do you have the confidence to defeat Maxwell who sold you my information?”

Hegel murmured as he watched the thin branches fall helplessly.

“Winter will come soon.”

**

Jester’s faction was subjugated smoothly.

As I knew all the locations, I was able to make a plan in advance and hit it off.

“I always give only missions and always apologize.”

“It is rather my honor to assist the lord. Please feel free to order.”

Evan, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, bowed his head and stepped back.

What he asked was to clean up the Zefar fanatics.

Before visiting the kingdom of corpses, he killed all the Zefar followers and trapped their souls in Luna.

‘If you use those souls, it’s easy to figure out the location.’

He handed over all the information he already knew through the game to Evan. In addition, the harness, which should have been a headache for becoming Zefar’s incarnation, disappeared early, so it should be easy to organize.

‘I’m sorry to send it right away as soon as the jester is over, but it can’t be postponed.’

Knock! Knock!

“Come on in.”

Right after Evan left, the next person came in.

“I sent all the kids to the academy first.”

It was Agatha with impressive cat ears.

She didn’t hide her appearance from a certain moment, but it was rather nice to see her.

“Thank you for your effort.”

“I didn’t have to go to any trouble just following him.”

“Where is Maximin?”

“It’s a little unexpected, but I went to see the children off to the station heading to the academy.”

I’m really surprised

It’s not that kind of man, but something suspicious.

“All right. I have a mission to ask of Agatha, but I will take a few days off and deliver it later.”

“yes.”

You should send it to get a named bow for yourself to use.

Just like that, Agatha left the office and the tidying up was over. Salem and Morn checked once each, and Luna also checked.......

‘Ah, sloth.’

Jester brought an unexpected gift.

Items that cannot be used recklessly without the consent of the members of the assembly are a sin.

He took it and used it at will, and eventually dedicated it to Salem.

“I would have been on my own. Sin is not an ordinary thing.”

However, since other people do not have original sin, they cannot bring out that function 100%.

smart!

“Can I come in?”

“come in.”

I had to go back to the academy soon, but it wasn’t urgent. Rather, I felt sorry for not seeing the face of my younger brother whom I had decided to see often.

“Are you done?”

“uh. What to worry about now...”

He frowned as he spoke.

There are still a lot of things to worry about.

“I got a call from Morheim midway.”

“okay.”

Amy opened her eyes and glared at me.

“I know the rough atmosphere. Can you explain something now?”

I didn’t want to cause concern, so I didn’t talk about the emperor or the rebellion of Morhaime and other Western noble families.

“We... will remain silent. Like a dead mouse. So no need to worry.”

After thinking about it, I expressed it in a roundabout way.

In fact, as long as the empire didn’t openly oppose us, we were going to stay quiet.

‘Of course he would be openly hostile.’

I have a plan for that time, so it’s okay so far. Things will get bigger and more complicated to the point that we won’t even care about our family anyway.

“Haa brother.”

Amy’s nagging was about to begin.

That time when I was trying to listen to her calmly because I also had a sin.

smart!

A sudden knock was heard.

“Sorry sir! I have urgent news and I am here to deliver it!”

It was the voice of Maria, Amy’s secretary.

“Come on in.”

There are many guests today.

What more news than that?

rattle!

“Sorry for interrupting your conversation.”

“no. Please speak.”

“There was an official announcement from Portrion.”

“Portrion?”

Jester’s last words were already bothering Maxwell, but what else is going on?

“This time, we have announced the selection of Nivas in advance, which is unusual.”

“ah!”

Nivas’ choice.

An event to announce who has become a Warlock within the last 5 years.

But that was obviously an event in the middle of the Nivas Festival, but the festival hadn’t started yet.

“That means......”

“His Excellency was also on the selection list! At the same time, there was an announcement that those included in this selection list would also be invited to the festival.”

Maxwell Pendragon.

What the hell are you aiming for?
