47 – Niel wrapped around a red rope
“Kyaaagh! You, you, you, you!!!”
Has there been a saying that in order to deceive the enemy, one must deceive the allies as well?
Everyone was blindfolded and floundering, except Zagon, who knew about my miracle.
…Especially when I saw a woman crying desperately with her face burning black, at least this tactic seemed to work.
But it won’t be me to subdue her, it will be Gon.
The girl who was incapacitated by her large size grabbed her and beat her up,
Leaving behind the sight of the woman being mercilessly beaten down with a mace, I hurriedly moved to the mansion, holding on to the floundering Darian, still clenching my eyes.
Because if it’s not now, it’s questionable whether I’ll be able to enter.

But the huge door was firmly locked.
The creak couldn’t have been so ominous.
Even…
“Oh… A b*tch who wouldn’t be happy even if he was ripped to death… Dare, dare…!”
Kgakgak – doing,
The sound of metal scraping behind me.
Are you a monster after all? Are you not easily overpowered?
In that case, you should throw out the light once more, and let it drain at least until you open this door.
Peeing –
The sphere was thrown behind my back, and a light so intense that the wall in front of my eyes lit up the darkness.
“No, no… Once, but not twice.”
…I see, it’s not a normal monster.
“Ohhhhh, compared to the pain he suffered… Hhmh?!”
Kaang –
The sound of something hitting and flying.
I looked back in response to that, and Zagon was looking at me with steam blowing from his body.
In addition, you can see something rolling over there and getting wrecked.
…And still trying to move.
“Is the door locked?”
Ouch, and seeing the door that wouldn’t budge even with one push, he pushed me back.
Hmm, it looks like he’s trying to solve it with a mace.
“Please.”
“I still can’t see…”
After holding the hand of the struggling knight, Zagon struck the door once, then twice –
“Ahhh… God, give me strength!”
With a small murmur, he knocked on the door for the third time, and only then did a gap for about one person enter,
“Hurry up.”
“Thank you, please don’t overdo it.”
“…Well.”
After saying hello, I hurriedly moved on, leaving my sleeping bag behind.
Please, hope everyone is safe until this is all over.
***
The inside was pretty neat and tidy. Surprisingly, it was much more ordinary than I had imagined.
I thought that such a cruel woman would have one or two severed human heads adorned with the interior, but the interior is all red cloth and stone.
But now the question is, where is Niel?
“Which way to go, uhm… Aha.”
I took out her magic sphere once again and shined it on it, and as expected, a very red aura … Oh.
Is it surprising that you didn’t wander around the mansion a lot?
Maybe this wasn’t the base in the first place, hmm.
But there is one particularly red line.
Can I follow this?
Going up the stone steps, my God.
“…This is much worse than expected.”
“Are you trying to show me something, Mr. Evangelist?”
I suspect that if he saw what I can see, he’d probably be terrified.
First of all, if you know the meaning of this spectacle.
This is… So horrible.
How could one door be wrapped in so much red aura?
It’s just that it’s all covered up, but how can I…
You mean you’ve been there all your life? Leaving this vast mansion behind?
How did you do that – no, is it even possible in the first place?
“Work, first of all. It might be over there. What I saw… You don’t have to worry about it.”
Because it’s too complicated to even explain it now.
How many emotions and powers must be contained in order for such mana to accumulate and accumulate…
“Well, first of all, you mean Niel Pietro is over there. Then let’s hurry up.”
I envy you being able to say it so simply.
I wonder if the phrase “Knowing a lot is a disease” Is used in this situation.
I gritted my teeth and kept moving my feet at this creepy feeling that grew stronger as I approached, and before I knew it, I was able to reach the front door.
This wraps around the body leaking out of the entrance… A persistent and stinging magic power.
If you’ve lived your life with something like this… I’m sure it’s not unreasonable for you to change like that.
And this door. Why are there so many locks?
One, two, three… My God.
All of them are designed to block the inside from the outside.
Why did you do this? Why?
What is the purpose of these things… Sealed?
Or, for some other purpose?
“Is this to prevent something from coming out… Or is it a prison?”
“Doesn’t that look like that too?”
“If that’s not the case, then there’s no way we’d put a lot of locks outside like this.
But another questionable thing is that they are easy to open from the outside, like regular doors rather than keys.
You made it look like you frequented it. Nevertheless, the locks haven’t worn out too much…”
The more I dig, the more I dig, the more strange things are revealed.
Above all, this strangeness was not limited to rooms and doors.
“Look behind you. Do you see it over there?”
When I looked down the hallway on the other side, there were a lot of servants standing there watching us.
I was blinking my eyes, but I didn’t come any further than that.
As if he was afraid to get involved in this.
“If we don’t go first, they won’t come this way either.”
“…Unexpected. I thought a member of the church would attack without hesitation.”
“I know what I need to do first. First of all, the goal is to save my friend and subdue that woman. So -“
To be honest, I don’t even have time to pay attention to them in the first place.
If a person was eroded by such a concentration of magic… It’s hard to guess what kind of situation the victim is in.
Because of that, I slowly unlocked the lock and opened the door.
And what I saw in front of my eyes was… Oh my God.
This… Is on the bed…
“Huh, they say they play as they look. You look like a rough woman.”
This cute face that sleeps with chains tied to it, with both hands neatly placed on its chest… Just like his face when he was a child.
Rather, I looked at him with a little dumbfounded look at the time gone back.
Eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, beard, hair…
“It would be safe to say that there is nothing different from the past.”
“Do you know someone?”
“Yes. Hometown childhood friend…”
What the hell happened?
What kind of things did you go through during those 3 years of being apart so that people can change like this?
He wears loose clothes that he always wears neatly, and he looks so vulgar that you can’t even look at him with his eyes open.
Even when he opens his mouth to take a breath, he lets out a sweet sigh and twists his body, and he’s definitely not the man I remember from before.
Above all, the many small holes left on the nape of his neck and his flushed face.
…
I think I know roughly how he’s been treated, I bang my teeth so hard-I can’t control my boiling heart and I spit it out of his mouth.
“Is it like this after all? Did you just love for the sake of these words? Huh?”
Perhaps it was because I couldn’t properly control my emotions, the energy I emitted seemed to radiate out in all directions and activate the magic sphere in my arms.
And the flow of magic that I saw once again was telling me the truth of all this.
“Ha ha ha?!”
From head to toe.
There wasn’t a single place that wasn’t filled with red energy.
Just literally, like a red man.
When my body was filled with someone else’s magic power, especially at the concentration of magic power that was so thick that my heart and head almost glowed… I was at a loss for words.
How can people get to this point?
I couldn’t help but be more astonished to find out that the magic scars outside were all connected to him.
Monitor every move, feel it, manipulate it, twist it…
Small threads were draped over the doll, not to the extent of forcing its actions,
The mana that bound him was ‘inducing’.
Something that listens to its owner’s commands and goes mad little by little, polluting both his mind and heart.
The woman out there was doing it to Niel.
While shouting that there was nothing else, it was as if he had made it this way because he didn’t even trust him.
If he truly loved her, he wouldn’t have to do anything like this.
After thinking about it, I realized that it was something I had to do, and got on the bed.
“That, evangelist? What are you trying to do-“
“It’s purification work. I plan to end all the contaminated energy in his body by drawing holy water and a magic circle.”
“Then what will happen?”
“She’ll come back to her senses. Maybe even she on the outside will know. With such a strong connection, she probably even shared her senses… It gives me goosebumps just to imagine.”
“So what… This vampire woman used this man as a plaything?”
No, it must have been more soggy and sinister than that.
Perhaps she, unable to win her heart, pushes her body and breathes her own energy into him,
After slowly taking over his mind with it –
In the end, there must have been a bond that was hard to break through the constant exchange of mediums.
…I guess, though.
I don’t know why or how I did this,
I don’t need to say that it’s not good, so I decided to proceed with the ceremony with the knight appreciating the devastation with a strange face behind me.
Because now that I can’t help sleeping anyway, that’s what I should do.
Inhale, exhale.
Drop a drop of holy water on the center of your forehead –
“Oh, the eight stars in the sky and the father of all who watches over us with his eyes… I ask for your strength to save my friend.”
To sever these tenacious threads.
To set my friend free from the spell.
So that this person can once again enjoy the freedom given to all things.
