Chapter 548 – 44. The Empire of Dezac – The Darkness Falls on the Mage Tower (14)
Opportunity did not easily reveal the gap.
It’s been 2 hours since I entered the forest through the security I bought in advance.
Still, Natalie’s vigilance was thorough.
“It’s Natalie, too.”
Adolf licked his lips in regret and muttered that.
However, a strangely excited feeling lurked within him.
As evidence of that, Adolf casually calls Natalie by name no matter how much she is not around.
The situation wasn’t great, but strangely I didn’t feel like I was going to fail.
Rather, after this job was over, it kept popping up in my head.
Valdes neatly removed.
The women of the hero party, Natalie, and Adele suffer from an unexpected accident.
Even herself who comforts them.
Already, the corner of the mouth is trying not to be controlled.
“The female warrior and the rest who depend on me for my gratitude. My competence and good-looking appearance are revealed. And I join the hero party as it is…Keuheu. Even though it’s in the future, it’s clear to the eyes.”
“…”
The demon spy looked at him from behind with a puzzled look.
This is what you’re doing under the guise of being one of the bullies.
The demons who infiltrated the island of the Dezac Empire, the most important on the continent, were among the elite in the intelligence unit.
It is said that most of them endure difficult missions with loyalty and pride to the demon king and demon prince.
One mission doesn’t change his mind, but this mission was easier than he thought.
‘The Elder’s disciple, a high-ranking mage, is so easily defeated.’
With one poison to keep Natalie in check, he bought some faith in Adolf.
Thanks to this, he was able to fit right behind Adolf and chase him.
And since I was next to him for more than two hours, even the medicine I sprayed little by little started to work.
The efficacy of the medicine used by the demons is the amplification of groundless conceit and delusion.
The performance itself is very good.
However, since the power exerted by each person varies greatly, it is only classified as a failure.
But it worked very well for Adolf.
“Haha, for that, I’ll have a chance… Huh? Hey! What are you doing, move inside. Hurry up and chase me!”
“Yes yes!”
“All right!”
“Everyone knows how much money I have, right? As usual, I’ll give you plenty of money so you won’t be disappointed when this job is over, so everyone work straight!”
Adolf hurries on his bullies by giving them bruises.
His tone is very fierce, but the content of his words is very appropriate to boost his morale.
They are the downstream people of the back alleys who live a life that has fear but has no back anyway.
The money and magical tools that Adolf had promised were not bad for risking one’s life.
“Okay. I don’t know what’s going on, but the two of them are drifting apart. Khehehe. Just follow the plan, follow the plan!”
Adolf jumped excitedly at the tasty bait Valdez had put out.
It wasn’t that I was being stupid.
Some flesh was added to the simple skeleton that the demon spy had taken out.
For example, turning poison into smoke form, dispersing it into several sprays, etc.
Even so, the chance that the strategy will work for Natalie is less than half.
However, Don Adolph was confident in the effectiveness of the medicine, and the traps Valdez had laid several times increased his success rate. Thanks to this, the devil’s poisonous smoke successfully spread around Natalie.
Haha! Success! Now all that’s left is…!”
Just get rid of Valdez.
This is an hourly wage.
Natalie would be poisoned for only a few seconds at most.
In the meantime, we must somehow kill Valdes.
Natalie could even heal a fatal wound.
“Die…!”
Adolf dashed through his men, unleashing the fastest magic he could wield.
“What, Mr. Adolf?!”
“You can’t go forward!”
“Ugh! Trouble!”
“What are you doing, you crazy bastard?!”
His sudden action shocked his subordinates.
If Adolf ever comes forward, he must not show himself.
What they want to do is assassinate Valdes.
Originally, there should be no witnesses in an assassination, but it is close to impossible for them to do anything to Natalie. Therefore, the evidence must be reduced as much as possible, and to do so, the most important Adolf must be hidden.
‘But why… ?!’
In the midst of everyone’s astonishment, only the demon spy was laughing in the background.
‘Killing the effect.’
The medicine used on Adolf had a slightly frightening effect.
The joy of being able to kill Valdes.
And the urgency to kill Natalie before she comes to her senses.
In addition, various emotions mingled and paralyzed his reason.
Forgetting even the basic judgment that the poison that paralyzes Natalie could kill Valdez. It would be of no use in reality anyway, but that was something he could never know. So that was a stupid thing to do.
‘Now then, shall I slowly withdraw my body.’
What’s left will be solved by my dear Demon Prince Valdes.
The demon smirked and quietly disappeared into the forest.
Natalie doubted her eyes and ears.
“Kheuhe! Kuhhaha!! Finally, finally killed! I! Killed the filthy mixed-race bastard!”
Adolf laughing madly and having fun in the distance.
“Sorry, sorry, Natalie-sama…”
And Valdez, who was enchanted by him and fell down beside him, apologizing.
I hope this is an illusion, but it hasn’t happened.
The result of his carelessness and misjudgment was truly the worst.
‘My cool… Let’s analyze the situation calmly.’
Natalie sat down on one knee in her analysis, with his head dizzy.
If you are a normal person, it is a situation that is dizzy enough to lose reason due to excessive confusion.
However, the wizard’s brain, which had reached its limit, was quite calm.
For now, one thing is certain.
I tried to give it a chance because of affection, but Adolf ended up having an accident, and it was a big accident that was unbearable. Even though it is a forest without witnesses, this is absolutely unacceptable madness.
‘Ugh… Where the hell did you get this kind of poison?’
Tens of seconds have passed since I inhaled the poison smoke, but my body still feels numb.
The mana in his body moves reflexively and drives out the poison, but it wasn’t easy.
‘It’s not usually poison. If used incorrectly, it is a tactical weapon that can annihilate a single knight. And handling poison like this on the continent… It’s only demons.’
The poison Adolf used is more deadly than what the demon spy told him.
Since it was Natalie, she was barely holding on and maintaining her consciousness.
This poison was used in several places during the great war between the demons and the continent twenty years ago.
Of course, a very small amount was also stored in the demon hideout under the system.
Since Valdez had no intention of using such a thing for war, he processed the leftovers and gave them to Adolf.
To use it as one of the most important tools in this operation.
“…”
Natalie’s expression went cold as she thought about the source of the poison.
Hearing Adolf’s excited look in the distance began to disgust him.
What was Adolf’s intention when he poisoned himself?
To kill Valdez, write something like this to his brother’s teacher, who is like his parents.
‘My mistake. This… It’s the biggest mistake of my life that can’t be undone…’
It feels like the blood in your whole body is cold.
Even more sober, she averted her eyes from her mistakes.
“Whoa. Fortunately, the confirmed kill isn’t, ugh… It seems.”
“…That’s right.”
I saw Valdez moaning as she had three or four holes pierced through her chest and chest.
Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries as it was a sudden surprise attack.
However, it is dangerous to leave it alone because it is an injury that makes it difficult to move the body easily.
Especially at this moment when Adolf is giggling as he approaches.
‘What do we do?’
The best way to get rid of this poison in the body quickly without worrying about it.
Concluding, Natalie moved her mana by focusing her mind in a hurry.
“Ah…”
But that was a mistake.
As a result of forcibly rotating her magical power, the poison spread more throughout her body.
“Huh… Hhhhh…?”
And the real effect of the poison Valdes had processed was from now on.
‘Flaw. It’s a luxury to spend time on this precious poison just to get rid of Adolf.’
Valdez laughed inwardly at Natalie, who let out an excited moan through her reddened face.
In fact, the Adolf treatment is only additive.
It was all because of Natalie that he rushed to the forest to plan his strategy.
“Me, Natalie? Are you okay?”
“Oh no… Well, something, weird…♡ This is, hehe…”
A strange nasal sound that I couldn’t even imagine.
Natalie gave goosebumps at the excitement and numbness seething inside him.
This was in many ways beyond her imagination.
“Khehehe.”
Adolf is now close enough to hear his voice clearly even without concentrating on it.
What he thinks of himself, his actions so far, his disgusting appearance on that day, and finally his current physical condition. What is Adolf trying to do by approaching him?
‘No… No way… !’
Natalie decided to overdo it once again.
Not inside this time, but outside.
Gurrrr
“Uh, uh, uh? This is, ah, not…!!”
Kwagwagwagwang!!!
Hundreds of thunderbolts struck the middle of the academy’s forest.
Only Valdés was standing on his two legs, smiling sinisterly between them.
