Crepin Subjugation (2)
Anyway, the goal at this point is not to subdue Crepin.
As I said, if you don’t destroy his family background and prestige first, even if you subdue him, you won’t be able to get behind him.
– Whoa, whoa.
Dust rises inside the library. Crepin quickly blew away the dust and raised his left hand again.
It is a force that I have no idea how or how it works, but I have a rough idea as I have progressed through Act 4.
He could not fully embody the power of the evil spirit because he was in an incomplete state, but he was able to control the ‘physical power’ around him at his will.
Gravity, inertia, friction… At least the flow of physical energy is controlled by him as far as his magical powers allow.
It will give you a sense of conquest, as if the flow of energy in this world was in my hands.
To coordinate more than physical power, long concentration and long-term accumulation of magical power are required. It would be enough to say that it was at a level that could be used in an instant battle.
Now, the power of the evil spirit has not yet been fully unlocked. Now is the best time to subdue, but the order of things is fixed.
I gathered the magic power in my hand.
– Kwaang!
The magic is ready to rush to a single point.
Lieutenant fire magic, ‘one point explosion’.
Crepin Roth Taylor quickly reacted to the speed of the magic and took a defensive stance, but unfortunately, the direction of the attack is not Crepin.
– Kwaang!!!!
The floor collapsed, and the roar enveloped the mansion.
A peaceful and enjoyable social church unfortunately ends here.
* * *
― Kwa Gua Gaga Gaga! bang!
Ed’s magic explosion sounded straight downstairs.
The same was true of the main hall, where the banquet was in progress.
The nobles, who were chatting while lightly clinking glasses of high-quality wine, made a strange sound for a moment.
The sound of a part of the exterior wall collapsing along with a vibration sound. Surprised by this, the crowd began to murmur.
Eventually, a vassal who seemed quite old came out and calmed the situation, but Crepin, who was in charge of the situation, was nowhere to be seen.
Selaha, who was chatting with the crowd, Clarisse, who was enjoying the dinner, and Sinir Bloom River, who was alone on the terrace, looking at the sky, all looked embarrassed.

Most people didn’t know how things were going, so they stopped the party and waited for the users to figure out the situation.
“… Hmm.”
In the meantime, the first princess Selaha caught her breath once.
It was a sudden situation, but it was not the only thing suspicious. Most of all, it was very suspicious that Crepin Roth Taylor and Ed Roth Taylor were absent at the same time.
“The wine tastes good. I think I drank too much.”
Sellaha talked and handed the less emptied wine glass to the waiter next to him. It means stop drinking.
And I came out to the terrace to break some alcohol. When I turned my head and looked at the outer wall, it seemed that there was an explosion on the upper floors.
“Hmm… ”
Selaha remained immersed in contemplation, then burst out laughing and opened the door and went out.
* * *
– Poop, poop.
The sound of dust falling.
The floor of the study was collapsing, and several books and documents were rolling on the floor.
― ‘Under Duke Crepin’s personal study, he heard a strangely large number of magical reactions. By the way… In terms of the structure of the mansion, the lower part of the study is the cooking area. There is no reason to feel such a huge amount of magic in the kitchen where the users work.’
According to the information that Yenica had found out, there was a space beneath this where a strange magical reaction was felt.
According to the design of the mansion, it is known that there is a study of the same size just above the kitchen, but it was definitely too wide for the size of the kitchen below.
There was a high possibility that a space that was not in the blueprint was prepared next to the kitchen.
Needless to say, the entrance to it will be in Crepin’s study. It would be best if they found the entrance, but the situation was not favorable, so the floor was completely destroyed.
―Passaak! Kaah!
“Ahhh!”
As the ceiling collapsed, some startled maids ran out of the kitchen. However, I didn’t see it. It was blocked by a huge outer wall, and only the sound was leaking in this way.
As expected, the floor of the study just covered the gap between the kitchen and the secret space next to it.
The place where I fell was that part of the secret space.
“Big, huh… !”
“Yenika, are you okay?”
“Yes… !”
A small secret space made of bricks. There was only one passage leading to somewhere.
A dark passage runs down and down. Judging by its depth, it seemed that it was connected all the way to the underground space.
It seems to have come right.
– Whoa, whoa!
Dust rose again, and Crepin rose from the inside.
I still clenched my left hand tightly, compressing the air around me, but I reacted quickly and rolled my body to the side.
-grasp!!
The stone next to me could not withstand the pressure and burst.
Seeing how naturally I had escaped, Crepin was amazed.
“The response speed is amazing. It’s as if you’re not the first person I’ve met today.”
Of course. I tried to deal with crepins, which were still in a state of taste, over and over again. It was by no means an easy opponent, but compared to the evil god Mebuler, it was cute.
“Do you know what your mistake is?”
I got up from my clothes and spoke quickly.
“The thing that bothered me the most is that this mansion is entirely your territory. The servants and the guards are all Roth Taylor people who act at your command.”
“… ”
“Are you allowed to bring my people into such a space? You gave yourself the best advantage.”
What we need to do now is not to subdue the creffins. Everything has an order.
I grabbed Yenika’s hand as it was, dragged her, and threw herself into the underground passage.
“Woah, wow!”
Surprised, Yenika was drawn and sucked into the aisle together. I ran straight down the stairs.
If it was a place where such a secret space was created and hid, there was a high possibility that there would be a lot of evidence of Crepin’s evil deeds.
― Tadadaak!
There was no way I could stay still when I saw Ed rushing down the aisle.
Crepin Rothtailer quickly grabbed the sword and tried to move.
However, I couldn’t pursue him.
– Kwaang!
― Kwag, gaga, gaga!
It’s not raining, but lightning strikes.
As if to block the crepin from heading towards the entrance, the thunderbolt that struck in front of it raised dust again.
“Hmm… !”
Crepin quickly covered her mouth with her sleeve and withstood the aftermath. And when the dust was blown away again, there was a girl standing there with her fluttering collars tidied up.
The white hair that was tied down beautifully in two parts is shiny. Despite her small body, the dignifiedness she reveals is impressive, but her dazed eyes that seem to fall asleep make her energy again.
He’s fixing the big witch’s hat, muttering jerky, and shoving his hands into the pockets of his coat. Then, after a while, he speaks softly.
“I’m sorry.”
― Faba Baba!
At that moment, a four-and-a-half sword made of light appeared in the air, and then flew straight to the ground.
The huge sword hilts built around her like a defensive line… It is not something that can be expressed as easily as breathing.
High-ranking light magic ‘Swordsman of Brilliance’.
In between, all kinds of lieutenant barriers are entangled like a spider’s web, creating an impenetrable defense.
“From now on, this is a no-access zone.”
A rare genius wizard, Lucy Meryl.
Appearing like a thunderbolt and taking over the space in an instant, she doesn’t even show any signs of exhaustion after expressing dozens of lieutenant magic and high-ranking magic.
“now… what are you doing… ?”
“why? Upset?”
It sounds like you’re provoking me.
However, if you listen to a calm and pure voice… I don’t feel that intention at all.
Lucy doesn’t do anything to shake her composure by provoking her opponent like that in battle. Because you don’t need to do that in the first place.
Just stating the facts as they are.
“then… Go through it and see.”
It is a barrier ceremony that appeared in just a few seconds, but it is a wall of steel that cannot be penetrated even if all the high spirits are brought in.
Crepin stared at Lucy’s flawless eyes, and narrowed her brow little by little.
* * *
On the other hand, there is a Lortel sitting cross-legged and arms crossed in the carriage that departed from the Old Deck.
While staring at the sage’s seal for a long time, there was some kind of spirit in the way he headed towards the Roth Taylor mansion.
All kinds of ledgers fill the walls of the wagon. There were a lot of things left to check.
Nevertheless, Lortel was heading out of the Old Deck, even if he had time to spare.

Moving on to the emperor Chloeron, Princess Fenia with a serious expression was dragging her horse out of the stable at night.
The imperial driver tried to deter the princess with a perplexed expression, but no commoner could stop her.
He placed a luxurious saddle on the most powerful and sturdy horse, and rode on it. The hem of the dress was uncomfortable, but even time to change was wasted.
As it is, Princess Penia ran out of the Imperial Palace without permission, leading only four or four members of the guard.
The report was quickly raised by the soldiers who were watching, but it was already too late.
There is only one direction everyone is going.
This is the Roth Taylor mansion where Crepin Roth Taylor is secretly hiding.
* * *
― Tadadaak! Tap!
I ran down the stairs like that for a while while holding Yenika’s hand.
Taking advantage of Lucy’s time outside, I had to quickly figure out what this secret space was.
The fact that it has been so tightly hidden is that this space is probably the rebellion of Crepin and the place where all the secrets are contained.
After going down through the dark passage for a while and then down again, the sound starts to reverberate little by little.
It was already time to enter the underground space. From here on, it seemed to be more comfortable to think of it as just a basement.
I spoke as I ran to her while holding Yenika’s wrist.
“Listen, Yenika. You have to remember everything you see from here. It is much more credible that you testify together than claiming that I am the only witness.”
“Hey, what’s beyond this?!”
“I don’t know that either! You must see!”
“Ugh!”
In any case, it is highly probable that the evidence of this hard work for the advent of the evil spirit is piling up.
Whatever it is, as long as you can go out with a piece of evidence, it will be easy.
At some point, the stairs going down came to an end, and a long hallway came out.
It feels like a tunnel made of bricks. Since there is no light coming in, a magic procession of torches continues to the end of the passage.

Me and Yenika ran straight down the hallway.
After running for a long time and running again, at the end of it, a large wooden door appeared. I feel like I have finally arrived.
nothing more to measure Where is the time to prepare your mind?
I just kicked the door.
– Bang!
The door opens with a rattling sound, and the structure inside is visible at a glance. At first glance, it doesn’t look much different from the study you saw upstairs.
A fairly large space is filled with bookshelves, and one side is filled with various experimental tools.
A couple of desks are attached, and there are many traces of researching various magic circles on them. And beyond the lab, there was another door on the opposite wall.
Right now, I don’t have time to go through these documents one by one. Me and Yenika just took a rough look at the surroundings and ran straight to the next room. First of all, it was necessary to familiarize yourself with the overall structure.
“Hey… hehe… ”
Yenika is weak when it comes to using her body. It seemed that he was already physically exhausted.
– Bang!
And only after opening the second wooden door… We had to stop.
“eww… Huh… !”
Spreading out on either side of the narrow corridor are countless prisons. Solid iron bars are lined up vertically.
The room used as a prison… I can see more than ten. I could feel Jenica’s wrists trembling.
“Are you okay?”
“eww… yes. Let’s keep going.”
Yenica felt something with her animalistic senses, and did not consciously look inside the prison.
I looked over and over with a squint, but the inside of the prison where I was particularly rotten… The contents were as expected.
A prison is a facility for imprisoning people.
What was inside it was, in a way, natural.
As we went straight through the hallway and reached the end, we finally found an open hall.
In an underground space that I thought would not be illuminated by a single light… A ray of moonlight is coming down from the sky.
Was it as if I thought it would be nice to have as much light as possible in this space? Even if I make a small hole in the deep underground space, even the inconspicuous ceiling… A space with ventilation in mind.
In the center of a large rotunda… There is a human form.
“… ah… Huh… !”
Yenica couldn’t stand it and was nauseous.
It was in human form… Obviously I was standing on my feet. However, it had been pierced through the chest with a greatsword.
It felt like being pierced by a great sword that fell from the sky. Now that I think about it, I wasn’t standing on my own, I was piercing through. The penetrating bayonet was stuck on the floor, supporting its body.
I’m used to seeing that blonde hair flowing down abundantly.
that… When you enter the main entrance of the Roth Taylor mansion, the first thing you see is a painting on a huge portrait…
When I thought that it was the same as the voluminous hair I had seen there, a streak of goosebumps ran down my body.
The size and appearance are similar.
However, the condition of the body is strange.
no left arm
no right leg
One eye is left with a cut, whether it was cut by a knife.
There are marks all over the body that look like stitches.
The only remaining eye is comfortably closed. As if he was in a terrible state, he seemed to be sleeping really comfortably.
“Ed… That person… Ed’s… ”
I had no choice but to open my eyes and look at it. No matter what anyone said, I couldn’t deny it.
The woman who was once called the Roth Taylor family’s shining jewel was right.
He struggled to calm his pounding heart.
If it was a corpse, I watched it until I got tired of it. I’ve seen thousands of people die in just a few seconds.

Maintaining composure is a specialty. Whatever the circumstances, I bite my teeth for rational thinking.
“It was said that evil spirits descend with blood as a price.”
I opened my mouth slowly.
“In order to treat the power of the evil spirit as if it were my limbs, I used my blood-flowing daughter for an experiment.”
Yenika covered her mouth, holding back her tears. Seeing the various wounds engraved on Arwen’s body, he seemed to be speechless.
“I was forced to mobilize my daughter, and if that didn’t work, was it trying to mobilize other children as well?”
I mutter like that… stood still for a while.
First of all, it was a car that was meant to be silent for Arwen, who had left painfully.
“Well, that is only half true. Ed. Have you forgotten?”
I had no idea that the answer would come.
It was an unbelievable sight.
A girl who was pierced by a sword with almost half of her body missing.
The one remaining eyelid lifted slowly, revealing her bright eyes.
Naturally, his mouth and throat were still moving.
Yenika just lost strength in her legs and sat down. I also opened my eyes and saw the scene.
“It’s been a long time. Ed. He’s grown a lot.”
His voice was just as he had imagined. If Tanya becomes an adult, will she feel like this?
“I… It’s a lot worse than what I’ve seen before, isn’t it?”
can i answer
Cool enough to feel that way, Arwen Roth Taylor calmly spoke.
