59page. derangement (5)

8.

A spirit from the abyss suddenly appeared.

The spirit talked about what had just happened at Perticia's inn without missing a word..

Everything from what Rimer said to Noah's guess that he had a demonic pendant. By the time the story of all things ended like that.

“what? I'm leaving this morning?!”

Ibella screamed in surprise..

It was because Perticia was told that the scheduled time to leave the academy was 3:00 in the morning. Then Noah reflexively looked at her watch..

‘……Current time is 1:00 AM.’

So that's about two hours left..

fairly tight schedule.

Noah frowned. But at the same time he was relieved. Because if he hadn't been a Spirit of the Abyss, he would have been knocked out..

Then Dillia tilted her head..

“But the more I think about it, the weirder it gets.”

“huh? What are you talking about?”

“No matter how much you care for your nephew, there is a need to hurry to this extent?”

I can understand why Perticia's uncle is overprotective of her, but no matter how much, to move the schedule for two days ahead so much..

I couldn't agree with this.

“ahaha, that's…….”

Noah laughed awkwardly at this reaction..

I wanted to answer something, but it was because I couldn't. And I didn't have to answer. Because the suspicion wasn't that long.

“So what are you going to do now?”

Uhlan's voice whispered.

To the words that flowed out as if to change the atmosphere, Noah replied as if there was no need to worry..

“I have to do what I said before.”

“……I hope you will do it for real.”

At the same time, Ibella let out a sigh..

Ulan's plan before returning to the academy. It was a plan to kidnap Perticia disguised as a third force..

It was an extreme method, but for now, this is the only solution. So, when we were about to discuss the details of the plan.

“But, there is a problem.”

Suddenly, Dillia objected..

She explained the anxiety factor that suddenly emerged while receiving everyone's attention..

“The other escort, secondly, hit, the lightsaber's, eye, how, to deceive?”

Lightsaber of the East, Limer Yen Lapidis.

One of only five Masters in the Empire, she is known for her keen eyesight..

On the other hand, Uhlan's party stands out too much, for good or for bad. Just looking at Ulan's size right now, it was like that..

“Besides, with the lightsaber of the east, there are already, how many, about, encounters, enemies, right??”

But can I really lie??

After Dillia's question flowed out, Ibella shook her head as if it made sense. Noah, on the other hand, smiled with her confident face..

“I'm aware of that problem too. So I'm thinking of tweaking my plans a bit.”

“how to change?”

“First of all, only Ulan should be involved in this abduction plan. Since the opponent is the opponent, it would be right to go with a small number of elites..”

The reason is not only.

First of all, the existence of Dillia is also a problem..

Her magic is cluster magic that uses the magic of the stars. And currently, the number of wizards who have mastered star cluster magic is within five fingers..

This meant that if Dillia participated in the kidnapping plot, she would be at greater risk of being discovered..

“And I have to exclude me and Ybela too..”

Opponent: Limer Jenn Rapidis.

It is the master's knight. Besides, the royal guards will surely be dispatched to escort Perticia..

So it was obvious that Noah and Ybela's skills would only catch Ulan's ankle. Meanwhile, around that time, Ibella and Dillia were at odds..

“Still, Ulan is a bit…….”

“too, inconspicuous, inconspicuous?”

Both points were true..

To be honest, the one who stood out the most among the group gathered here was definitely Ulan. But Noah had a solution..

“are you okay. Because this will solve it.”

“what is that?”

“A talisman of disturbance. By attaching this to your body, you can temporarily fool your opponent's eyes..”

To put it simply, it makes you see the illusion..

Right after the target with the talisman is in sight, it is a technique that makes the target's appearance mislead according to the surrounding environment or thoughts at the time..

“Of course, if you're a Master, you can see through the target's true form in a matter of seconds, but…….”

Noah, speechless, glanced at Ulan..

At this, Ulan smiled and said,.

“Does not matter. Is that enough.”

I thought you would say that.

Noah smiled silently at the reassuring answer..

This is the situation where the overall outline of the plan is in place. Ulan slapped her ax and muttered.

“Now I just have to wait for the dawn to come.”

“No, there's one more thing to fix..”

“what?”

“Originally, we were pretending to be Abyssal Worshipers and trying to kidnap Tisha.?”

The third force that Ulan tried to camouflage.

This was the Abyssal Worshiper.

It was a public enemy that included the Empire, the Holy Kingdom, and even the Kingdom Alliance, and it was because they thought that there would be no harm in impersonating them..

“but it can't be.”

“The reason is?”

“because…….”

“It must be because I found out that the Count of Dermore is cooperating with the Abyssal Worshipers..”

Then Dillia intercepted the answer..

Noah smiled and nodded his head at the answer that accurately saw the essence..

“that's right. that's the correct answer.”

Now that we know that Count Dermore is collaborating with the Abyss Worshipers, any self-professed Abyss Worshipers will inevitably raise suspicion..

If Perticia's abduction succeeds, it will surely reach the ears of Count Dermore..

“So you have to take on another force.”

A force that can deceive not only the imperial family but also the Earl of Dermore and the Lord of the Abyss.

At Noah's explanation, Ibella asked with her eyes wide open..

“have such power?”

“Yes, the conditions are perfect..”

“really? What?”

Ibella asked with a surprised face.

Noah immediately turned around. She then pointed towards the girls' dormitory and she said.

“that.”

“uh? that…….”

The direction of Noah's finger.

It was the room that Sirfi Rudric entered earlier. Along with him, his group's eyes widened slightly. It was only then that he understood Noah's intentions..

“Tonight, Uhlan will be a heretic.”

So let's make the Desert Church take the blame for kidnapping Perticia. With this, Noah, who revealed the whole plan, smirked and laughed..

It was a very evil smile..

9.

dawn that day.

when everyone is asleep.

A shabby wagon quietly left Arsene Academy. Eventually, as we reached the entrance of the forest, twenty horses followed from all directions..

“you worked hard.”

“From now on, we will be escorting.”

Knights in silver armor.

Their swords and shields had the emblems of the Lapidis family engraved on them, but they were all new..

Like you've never been in a battle.

That was natural. Because their identities were not the knights of Lapidis, but the royal guards protecting the imperial family of the Ruben Empire..

Meanwhile, after joining the Royal Guard.

The female knight who drove the carriage, Rimmer, entered the carriage. Then he looked at the white-haired girl sitting across from her..

“princess.”

“……why?”

“You can sleep if you are sleepy. Take a deep breath and when you wake up, you'll be there.”

It takes about two hours by carriage from Arsene Academy to the Imperial Castle..

Enough time to close my eyes.

So I talked to her as if she were considerate, but Pertisia shook her head with a sullen face..

“joy! I'm not sleepy at all.”

“Is that so? All right. Then I will look after you until you reach the imperial castle..”

After answering, Rimer immediately raised all his senses. It was to check if there were any dangers around the wagon..

‘Fortunately, nothing special.’

Rimmer was quietly relieved..

But just as he was about to finish thinking about it, something unexpected happened. A thick fog began to spread around the forest road..

“Captain, this is…….”

“It's not a natural phenomenon.”

Around that time, the Royal Guard also noticed the change..

But I wasn't particularly upset..

“Power assault in formation!”

“Be vigilant of your surroundings!”

“If there's anything suspicious, cut it off!”

Rather, as if he was accustomed to this kind of thing, he increased his running speed and shouted. In an attempt to get out of the fog that covered the surroundings at once.

That was then.

[aww woo―!]

The sudden cry of a wolf.

It was a common sound in the night forest, but this was a bit different. Because the sound of wolves was not one, but dozens and hundreds..

Limer, who was in the carriage, also poked his head out the window as if he had sensed the uneasy atmosphere..

Maybe that's why?

she didn't even notice.

Hearing the wolves cry, Pertisia's complexion instantly brightened..

and at that moment!

[gurrureung!]

A pack of wolves surrounding them kicked the ground all at once. Then, he thrust his ferocious teeth at the location of the Royal Guard and the wagon..

“Knights, in defensive formation!”

“fight while guarding the wagon!”

Although they might be taken aback by a sudden attack, the Royal Guards calmly prepared for battle..

Then he cut down the wolves aiming for the wagon. The complexion of the knight who subsequently delivered the slash hardened..

“This……!”

This is because the wolf, whose body was cut in half, turned into mist and scattered. The moment he saw this, the knight saw through the wolf's identity..

“leader! These guys are all witches!”

“what?”

It wasn't just the head of the Royal Guard who frowned at those words. Rimer also made a momentary puzzled expression..

This is the realm of the empire.

It is not an area where monsters appear.

That must mean that someone intentionally released the demonic beast. The moment Lee Mer, who intuited this fact, narrowed his eyes,.

“……!”

Suspicious signs caught my senses.

I felt a strange presence from the depths of the forest where hundreds of wolves were infested. In response, Rimmer immediately rose from his seat..

“Princess. Excuse me for a minute.”

“yes? where…….”

“There's a suspicious guy. It's dangerous, so don't get out of the wagon..”

With these answers, Rimmer came out of the carriage. At the same time, the popularity felt in the forest grew stronger..

Some time after that, the owner of the human body was caught in Rimer's field of vision..

“that…….”

A person wearing a white robe.

A red mask was worn on the face, and an object presumed to be a magic tool was held in the left hand..

Rimer silently grabbed the hilt at the appearance that looked suspicious at first glance. After closing the distance moderately, he intended to cut his throat at once..

But then.

Opponent pursed his lips.

The moment he heard the words spilling out, Rimmer felt his body stiffen like a stone statue..

“Half-man, half-spirit).”

“……!?”

“Pertisia Ib al Ruben.”

just two words.

But Rimmer was startled..

Of course, I couldn't help but be surprised. The masked being even mentioned the identity and real name of Perticia, which even the Royal Guard did not know..

“I will take you by the headmaster's command..”

Meanwhile, whether Rimer was surprised or not, the masked figure continued speaking in a blunt tone..

Then the wolves surrounding him multiplied. Limer and the Royal Guard were aware of this phenomenon without saying anything first..

That the person wearing the mask is the one who controls this wolf. The moment he recognized this fact, Rimmer's eyes turned cold..

‘must be captured alive.’

Originally, he tried not to leave Perticia's side, but things changed..

I had to catch him and figure out how he knew Perticia's true identity..

‘cut off the legs first.’

to prevent running away.

Having set a goal like that, Rimmer calmed down. Then, taking advantage of the opportunity for the Royal Guard to buy time, he kicked the ground in an instant..

dig!

Gap closes in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Limer, who expanded the territory, arrived right in front of the opponent's nose at once. Then he swung his sword and was about to cut off his leg..

“……!”

The sword that cut through the air stopped for an instant..

Rimmer hurriedly stepped back..

It was because the moment he was about to cut down his opponent, his instincts gave him a warning. If you don't back down from here, you could be reversed..

And Rimmer's instincts were correct..

Aaaaaaaang!

The ground where she was about to step was hollowed out with a loud roar. Then, the culprit behind the ignorant attack appeared..

“what else is that…….”

Like the existence of the mask, he is a person wearing a blue mask in a white robe..

Also noteworthy is that he is wearing knuckle-like weapons on both hands. Meanwhile, the moment he saw this, Rimmer widened his eyes..

“……no way!”

Beings wearing white robes and masks.

And even the knuckles worn on the hands.

In the past, Rimmer had seen a group dressed like this. Recalling that time, Rimer finally realized the identity of the attackers..

“Desert Cult!”

her face crumpled.

On the other hand, along with Rimer's cry, the Royal Guards fighting the wolves made a surprised expression..

“yes? You mean the desert church??”

“But why are the pagans…….”

Did you come here and do something like this??

The Royal Guards had expressions that they couldn't understand at all. On the other hand, Rimmer was still looking at the masked beings with a hard face..

‘what?’

A giant being wearing a blue mask.

Looking at him with amulets all over his body, I felt a sense of incongruity..

It's as if you're deliberately wearing a skin that doesn't match.

‘Did you wear any kind of disguise??’

Rimmer, who had a sudden thought, focused all his senses on his eyes. It was to find out what the other person was hiding.

But just as I was about to try it.

Suddenly, the opponent disappeared in front of my eyes.

“……!?”

soon after realizing this.

Rimmer hastily tried to prepare for the raid..

But it was pointless. The moment I realized that the assailant was gone, I suddenly felt the pain of breaking the intestines in my stomach..

“Woo-wook! nod!”

It was because the opponent closed the distance in the blink of an eye and put a fist into Rimmer's abdomen..

It was a pretty powerful blow.

The shock was so great that I even lost the sword I was holding onto. Afterwards, Lee Mer pierced his knee, spitting up red blood..

“cool, cool!”

hematemesis.

Soon after, I became more and more dizzy..

‘Oh, no……!’

I know I shouldn't let go like this, but there was no way to stop it..

Rimmer, who had been staggering like that, soon collapsed and completely passed out..

“Ra, Lord Lapidis!?”

Immediately after confirming that Rimer was incapacitated, the Royal Guards, who had not been shaken under any circumstances, began to panic..

This soon created a gap in the formation, and the raiders who subdued Limer did not miss it..

“Damn, he's coming this way!”

“guard the wagon!”

Royal Guards resisted desperately.

But it was a pointless outburst. Because there's no way you can hold out against an attacker who made the Master incapacitated in one hit..

and the result.

The battle was over in an instant.

The royal guards who resisted were hit in the stomach all at once, and all without exception fell unconscious..

After all battles are over.

The existence of the red mask, whose leg had been almost cut off by Rimer earlier, collapsed in its seat as if its leg had lost its strength in an instant..

“heh heh heh.”

At the same time, the mask I was wearing fell off..

Before long, the face revealed was that of a young girl. The gray-haired girl was Syrupy..

Forced to participate in this plan by Noah, she took on the role of a desert cult pagan who kidnaps Perticia..

And the identity of the assailant is, of course, Ulan..

After removing the amulet from his body, he walked to the carriage alone. After that, the moment he broke open the locked door.

“Ulan!”

Someone jumped inside.

A girl with bright red eyes like a rabbit. It was Pertisia. Seeing her hugging her body, Ulan grinned and said,.

“I came to save you as promised.”

“yes i waited!”

A word to announce the success of the plan.

In the meantime, the hundreds of wolves that surrounded the surroundings turned into fog again, and then into a single white wolf..

“then let's move.”

Afterwards, Ulan, Perticia, and Syrpy climbed on Baekrang's body and immediately left the scene. It was to join Noah and the others..

some time after that.

After the day dawned, the imperial castle of the Ruben Empire heard this news and was literally upset..
