Chapter 253 – Marquis of Kilias – 4
“Hmm.”
The Marquis of Kilias dipped his tongue into the blood on his fingertips and ate it.
“Oh, it’s a delicacy.”
Intense mana that stimulates the brain.
The taste of blood that can be mistaken for hot.
Marquis Kilias smiled at the blood filled with the sun’s mana.
“I wanted to make you a subordinate, but I can’t help it. I’ll kill you next time.”
No, it’s a lie
You can’t take a guy like that as a subordinate.
It’s just face-to-face talk. Marquis of Kilias will kill Leoric Hyperion.
“If it’s this delicious, I’ll have to suck its blood.”
The level of magical power in the blood. Accepting it as a taste, Marquis Kilias smiled.
Haha!”
The Marquis of Kilias as the main base that bursts into laughter while looking at the destroyed city. What greeted him was a mummy full of blood drained from his body.
* * *
Wire pulled back
I lay down on a chair in the tent made in the center of the temporary base.
“I thought you were going to die.”
Even though it was made temporarily, the feeling was not bad, and the tension in the body was relieved.
With all his magic power gone, he barely withdrew. Not only his magic power, but also his stamina seemed to be exhausted. I can feel my limbs trembling.
“What about the body?”
“It’s just fine.”
Count Harry, who entered the tent, asked how I was feeling.
When he fled, he quickly succeeded in withdrawing with Count Harry’s help.
“What about the others?”
“All is well. Because I didn’t actively pursue them in the first place.”
Marquis Kilias treated us with an arrogant and leisurely attitude, full of confidence that he was superior to the end.
Well, I wasn’t in a position to insult him.
In fact, each and every blow of the marquis that attacked us was at that level.
He had to focus only on defense, and especially in the case of that big stake, he couldn’t resist properly unless he had little boy’s level of magic.
Until the evacuation of the commoners was over, the battle continued while dragging out as much time as possible. For the time being, the form had endured with the thought of only defending against the attacks of the Marquis of Kilias.
And in the end, he just ran away.
“So… What about him?”
“I got it.”
Count Harry, looking weary, reached out his hand outside the tent, and something wrapped in cloth came in as if being led by it.
“First of all, I ordered a knight to take it and run away without being noticed. I probably wouldn’t have noticed.”
“Because I cared about that part too.”
This is the reason why it moved as splendidly as possible.
Count Harry’s hand unfolded the wrapped cloth, revealing what was inside.
“Um…”
The first nobleman captured.
Was it because they were closest when the battle started? First of all, mana and blood sucked.
The noble is now dead.
“Should I say mummy?”
“It is miserable.”
The aristocrat, who had been sucked out of all his blood and mana, was dry and dead as if there was no moisture at all.
I took a closer look at the corpse, which didn’t feel any moisture or magic, but other than that, it was just a simple corpse. Even the red seal on the nape of the neck had lost its color and had become a simple brand.
“Are there any other abnormalities?”
“There doesn’t seem to be any problem. The seal’s role is to act as a relay for supplying mana.”
After checking the corpse in front of me as well as the condition of the other prisoners, I talked to Count Harry.
Marquis of Killias. It’s about his power.
“What do you think?”
“… Whoa. It is too abnormal.”
At my words, Count Harry sighed as he dried his face with both hands.
“Of course, I’ve never properly seen King Bistien’s power, but it’s just too strange. Maybe when I think of pure power, I feel like I’ve surpassed royalty.”
“That impression is not wrong.”
Of course I can’t be sure.
The first time I met Amelia, I was still immature, even though I had the count’s level of magical power.
Still, I thought that even I at that time had a chance against Amelia.
Of course, it was difficult to say that Amelia was also completely royalty, but the difference was not small.
“It’s not really the magic of the entire East Coast. Distance must be the limit.”
“But it was a force comparable to that. To be able to use someone else’s magical power as one’s own.”
It’s just that you use it as your own power.
There are counts and barons in the east too, and they must have their own unique powers. However, the Marquis of Killias, whom I had dealt with earlier, did not feel that way.
“No, rather…”
Of course, of course, but the quality of the power was not that good.
“Jill…”
At my words, Count Harry smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t notice that.”
“Because there is a sensory part to it. Certainly, the power contained in it was the magic of the Marquis of Kilias, but overall Jill itself was not the power of the Marquis.”
The difference is the quality and quantity of pure magical power.
As the quantity increased, the quality may have deteriorated, but it could be the cost of using the power of other nobles, like using a lower quality magic crystal.
“Hmm. What has been revealed so far is not the power of the whole east, but rather like the magic that erodes the surroundings, it extorts the blood and magic of its own limbs that have sealed the area around it. And the magical power obtained in this way may be great in quantity compared to the power of the same rank, but the quality is inferior.”
Just because the quality is poor doesn’t mean it’s a big problem.
In the first place, the amount of magic power is too large to count.
“And finally…”
I looked at the withered corpse.
“I don’t know where the limit is, but sacrifices that have been sucked to the extreme die like this.”
“In other words, is it disposable?”
“I don’t think even the Marquis of Kilias will continue to sacrifice nobles with one-shot enhancement.”
Then it’s too short-lived.
Even more so when considering the number of nobles.
“The farm… Is it possible to operate?”
“Hmm…”
A factory that Müller almost ran.
To forcefully impregnate and give birth.
It’s not impossible, but…
“There really is no such thing. It wasn’t until the king got suspicious that the Marquis of Kilias completely ruled the East. Even if we prepared right from then on, we wouldn’t have a proper farm system.”
“It’s fortunate.”
Seeing Count Harry sigh in relief, he secretly smiled bitterly.
He said this, but considering his disposition, he might be preparing even now.
It won’t be used right away, but someday…
“Is this all that has been revealed right away?”
I thought about the revealed information.
There is no such thing as perfect power. Strong magic has a price to pay for it. In particular, the power of the Marquis of Kilias is abnormal.
So, there is a weakness somewhere.
You should think so.
“… Count Harry.”
“Hmm?”
He surpassed his rank by any means…
Then we should move regardless of the means.
“From now on, our military will move like this.”
“… All right.”
Earl Harry, who was slightly surprised by my words, smiled soon after.
But.
Countess Bohrin is a specialist in this field.
* * *
“You idiots!”
Kwaaang!
The table shattered as Marquis Killias struck him down with his fist.
Even a single hand gesture overflowed with mana, and it flowed out without being able to handle it.
“Sorry, sorry… !”
Seeing this, the Marquis’ vassals trembled with pale faces and lowered their heads.
“How can a count not do anything! Are you guys still eastern nobles!”
Bang!
“… Whoops!”
The body of the nobleman who bowed his head in the hands of the Marquis Kilias, who could not hold back his anger and was swung around, flew away like dust.
The vassal who fell off the wall trembled and somehow lowered his head.
“Count Boring… !”
A flies-like creature that interrupted even the duel with Leoric Hyperion.
The Earl of Borin that the Marquis of Kilias remembered was such a guy, but to his retainers, they were a disaster.
Harry Boring appears out of nowhere and leads his knights to launch a bombardment, disappearing just as he is about to respond.
In the first place, among the aristocrats who fly freely in the sky, there are only a handful of families that specialize in it. Pursuing such a family was itself too much for the lower nobles.
“Ay! Done! I developed this method because you guys are so useless!”
At the words of the Marquis, the vassals trembled in fear.
A red seal stamped on his body. It is no different from the curse of being sucked to death by blood and magic if the Marquis is in control.
The Marquis Kilias laughed at the vassals and shouted.
“Then I’ll step in myself!”
* * *
“Little boy!”
“Keugh! Oh no oh oh oh!”
Aaaaagh
A huge mushroom cloud rises.
Even if he was the Marquis of Kilias, he had no choice but to stop at the attack with Leoric Hyperion’s power.
And seeing Leoric Hyperion and Harry Boring disappear in that brief moment, the Marquis of Kilias was filled with rage.
“This person… ! Bugs!”
It’s obviously a mighty force, but that doesn’t mean it’s the power to crush the enemy in an instant.
No, it was possible if it was an ordinary aristocrat.
However, it was impossible against Leoric Hyperion, the same Marquis and possessing the magic of the sun.
The moment the Marquis started chasing Harry Borin, who started the surprise attack, Leoric Hyperion appeared out of nowhere and allowed a blow.
After that, I tried several times, but in the end I couldn’t chase it.
“I will kill you… !”
Looking at Leoric running away with a face full of anger, the Marquis of Kilias revealed this.
* * *
“Good.”
“Good, what good?! Keep your mouth shut!”
“Ah, yes.”
Little Boy with all his strength hit the Marquis head directly, but he nodded as he saw that he was unharmed.
Count Harry, who was flying while holding on to my body like that, nagged me, but I was certain with this.
“Let’s just call the kids.”
There is no answer alone.
In the movie, Iron Man was also beaten by the American Captain and the Winter Man.
Daguri is the answer.
