Chapter 1929 – 1929. The Dark Moon
All sorts of thoughts ran through my brain for three minutes.
From just running away, to the absurd way of detonating a bomb and destroying the prison to erase traces and disappear.
To be honest, I was taken aback by the appearance of the corps commander.
I was a soldier, but I had no experience meeting a general.
Unit 667, which I belonged to, was an unofficial unit. A unit used to mass-produce battle mages. A place where human trials were conducted in cooperation with Alpha Tier Pharmaceuticals.
Units that exist but do not exist.
If you are a general, you can’t just care about the military unit. You have to be smart about politics. I tried to have as little relationship as possible with the unofficial human testing combat unit. Any connection at all could be a political weakness.
Even if he succeeded in a mission worthy of admiration by others, it was impossible to meet the general in person.
But I’m tired of hearing that a general suddenly appeared, overturned a military base, and disappeared.
‘Let’s think calmly and coolly. Why did the corps commander come personally?’
You want to kill me?
It was weird from there. I’m not a big man enough to have to act directly as the corps commander. His identity known to the outside world is Leon Schneider, a 5th-class combat alchemist. You can easily deal with a 5th grade alchemist or wizard just by sending a combat unit directly under the corps commander.
Because the commander of the corps can remove mountains and create lakes with a single word.
‘He’s not coming to kill me. If it was their intention to deal with me, they would have sent a disposal unit instead of coming directly. They wouldn’t have told me that they would arrive in 30 minutes.’
In other words, the corps commander had a different purpose.
‘It’s clear that he doesn’t intend to dispose of me right away.’
It is highly likely that there is no interest in Lemen prison itself. Because it has been so far
‘All you have to do is deal with it well without touching the planting of the corps commander. There’s no need to leave Lemen Prison.’
If run well, Lemen Prison can extract billions of credits a year. As a bonus, it is a place where you can even conduct human experiments without caring about others. A place like your own little kingdom. It was too precious to give up.

In front of Lemen Prison.
A transport plane descends slowly.
Only one. It was shabby for a corps commander to march in person. It was also proof that the corps commander impulsively decided to visit Lemen Prison.
The transporter door opens, and several soldiers come out and look out in all directions. And finally, a woman with pink hair down to her waist got off the plane. The tall woman had a smile on her face.
Her guards, including me, saluted her in unison.
“Loyalty! All members of Lemen Prison welcome the corps commander’s visit!”
“I just came to play, so I don’t have to greet you so hard.”
She said in a soft voice as well as a smile on her face. I shouted, acting in a disciplined voice.
“No!”
Don’t be fooled by her expression and kindness.
Marie Muller.
As the commander of the 6th Corps, her other nickname is the Laughing Slayer. She is a monster with a history of slaughtering tens of thousands of people with a smile on her face. Her information known to the outside world is that she is an 8th-class elemental magician. She is a candidate for the next marshal, and a member of the imperial family with some imperial blood.
She said, “She heard that she had fun changing her prison, so she came to see for herself how much fun she had.”
Marie said in a light tone. Is this the tone of a powerful man in the top 10 of the empire?
She was a little bit silly, but you should never underestimate her.
‘Even if he looks like he’s in his early 20s, he’s actually over 150 years old. She’s a woman who’s been through a lot.’
Marie was a half-man, half-jeong with the elemental element in her body. That’s why she never gets old.
She came closer She felt the pressure of her presence crush her whole body. She glanced around her and saw that not only me but also her body and the guards, who had become the new deputy warden, were sweating profusely.
‘Is this an 8th grade superman? They took over the space with just their presence.’
I inadvertently looked at Mary’s chest. It was because there was something on top of her voluptuous breasts that shook every time she walked.
It was a fairy with a small pink translucent body. It was very similar, as if it had been reduced to Marie. She wore a one-piece dress and had two pairs of wings behind her back. The fairy sitting on her chest stares at me as she sways her legs.
“See?”
Marie asked.
She couldn’t be invisible. Then she would become a bastard who fearlessly stared at the corps commander’s chest.
“Yes. I see. It’s a fairy that resembles the corps commander. Are you the spirit of the corps commander?”
“Hey. It looks real. Interesting. What is your name?”
“… This is Leon Schneider.”
“I don’t think so. Well, that’s okay Do you have any plans to become a spirit sergeant?”
“Doesn’t exist.”
Just cut it off
Summoners and alchemists were largely wizards. Because the summoning and alchemy used belong to magic. Elemental magic is different. The basis is to control the power of the spirits.
“It’s a shame. If you see this kid showing interest in you… You seem really talented.”
“Sorry. I am already walking the path of alchemy. There is no time to look elsewhere.”
“Huh. Alchemy.”
What do you know?
She had been smiling ever since, so I had no idea what she was thinking.
“Could you give me a tour of the prison? Her men will have other things to do, so just the two of you. I’ve always wanted to try a unique date at least once.”
“Of course, Commander.”
If it was black, it had to be black.
I defeated her guards and started a tour of her prison alone with her.
First of all, we showed Matias, the boss of the Kabrahim gang, the mascot of the prison. Marie still smiled as she saw him hanging on the cross with her limbs severed.
“The day I was assigned to Lemen Prison, he ordered her men to attack me.”
“He’s a bad guy.”
“The bastard’s family members were also suspected of treason, so we personally arrested and executed them.”
I looked at Marie’s reaction. The prison warden is not a cop who catches criminals. In reality, it was close to an act of overruling.
“The pendulum was a bad guy.”
Marie passed without incident. It seemed that he had no interest in Matthias at all.
“Lord, kill me…”
Mathias opened his mouth. The guy who hadn’t said a word for the past ten days immediately opened his mouth to say that the corps commander had come.
“Kill me… Please…”
“Intestine. Why don’t you kill him?”
“Your sentence remains.”
“Ah. I see Then you can’t die.”
“Kill me… Kill me… I mean kill me! You Galbo bitch!!”
She quickly walked over to Mathias and grabbed him by the neck.
“I’m sorry, Corps Commander. I should have taken off the gag earlier… That’s my fault.”
“Are you okay. It’s common for traitors to curse at me. I’ve heard so many swear words like Galvo that I’m sick of it. It’s not that I don’t feel bad, though.”
Marie waved her hand like a piece of chalcedony.
“Aaaaagh!”
Just like that, the skin on Mathias’ face peeled off. Feeling no sign of anything, I backed away.
‘… Is it telekinesis? It just feels… I just ripped off the face covering. It’s incredibly delicate.’
As she shakes her hand again, new skin sprouts from her Matthias body.
‘It even has the ability to recover.’
She finished skinning her Matthias’ face about 15 times. She didn’t know it at first, but after looking at it several times, she could feel the faint trembling of mana before she used elemental magic.
‘I’ll have to remember it just in case.’
I still don’t know exactly what elemental magic it is.
The prison tour continues.
The condition of the prisoners was basically bad. Eat two meals a day. Even that wasn’t enough nutrition. I couldn’t eat most of it, so my body was very dry. The prisoners trembled as soon as they saw me.
Marie said nothing about the condition of the prisoners. Like a visitor to a zoo, she looked at the prisoners behind bars and only occasionally asked questions.
“What crime did that prisoner commit? Your face looks good.”
“Ah, that guy… He must have done something.”
“I see.”
“No, no! I’m sorry! It’s unfair!!! Lawyer! Call a lawyer!!”
“Brigade commander. I will execute this spoiled bastard right now.”
“It’s okay. It’s fun like a monkey.”
She turned to be impressed by the woman. In fact, she didn’t really want to go, but… The footsteps of the corps commander were not something I could stop.
Female prisoners were basically naked. Because there were rumors that I was weak with women. There was an underlying intention to seduce me and fix it. But no way did you think he would do this shit even though he broadcasted that the corps commander was coming.
‘Ignorant bitches. I usually look after them, so they climb up.’
I kicked the iron window with my foot.
“I couldn’t see it. I will also execute these bitches.”
“Because it’s okay. Prisoners are all there. I didn’t expect anything. I find that prison more interesting than these prisoners.”
She headed towards the special prison. Super luxurious prison with TV and air conditioning. It was in a corner, so my plan to deliberately pass by silently was immediately shattered. The fortunate thing was that the beautiful prisoners knew their subjects and kept their heads down on their knees.
“This, this prison is a prison for model prisoners. It is a prison where only good inmates can enter.”
“Huh. They are model prisoners who look really nice.”
It just passed this time.
She really didn’t care much about the prisoner.
He probably wouldn’t be interested in solitary cells or special interrogation rooms in the basement.
“Now that I’ve looked around, I’ll guide you to the director’s office.”
“Huh.”
Her director’s office was just her and me. Before I could open her mouth, she spoke first.
“Niklas. Did you kill him?”
It was an unexpected word. Because if she opened her mouth, she thought it would be about Flash.
“… Yes. I killed that necromancer. Was there a special relationship?”
“There is no particular relationship. He had a spiritual eye, so he was a subordinate I liked. He’s talented, so I thought I’d teach him some spirit magic… Are you dead?”
“…”
“You don’t have to be nervous. Because I liked you more than Niklas. I won’t ask about this. I’ll also bury Flash’s work. Instead, show your true face.”
