96. Voyage. (4)

The suppression of Frey was simple. Frey was an excellent wizard, but Lucia was an even better wizard.

A wizard who can dismantle magic spells in an instant, no matter what magic he tries to use or what he tries to run away from.

“Tell me. What did you come here for and what were you doing? …… Elder Frey.”

That’s why it was simple and natural for Lucia to subdue Frey.

But because of that, a sense of difference arose.

Lucia skillfully ties Frey to the pillar of the ship and interrogates him.

The way he spoke was very cold, unlike usual, but the fact itself was not foreign.

I knew at least that Lucia could be very cold if needed. He even looked a few times.

However, the appearance of Lucia now overlaps with the appearance of Lucia in the future.

Yes, even though they are the same person.

‘…… Just now, the response was faster than I thought.’

I noticed someone was there with just a small shimmer in the space, and the moment the shimmer happened again, I moved one step faster than I did.

And what followed was no-nonsense suppression.

It wasn’t just using magic. Her movement just now showed a hint of skill.

“Kuh, I think I’m going to talk——”

Craft!

As if he wouldn’t listen to nonsense, sparks flew from Frey’s body.

Fray tried to let out her screams.

Before that, Lucia blocked his mouth with magic.

“Turn it off…… Eup, big!”

“If you don’t want to talk, don’t. If you lose it with lightning until you change your mind, you will think about it.”

I don’t know the name of the magic I used, but it wasn’t seriously strong magic.

However, it is not weak power either. To put it bluntly, it is the most suitable level for torture.

As expected, he is skilled.

There is almost no difference in tone, but I felt a bit of a difference from Lucia now.

A sense of heterogeneity. Perhaps…… Something I don’t know if I should call familiarity.

Lucia strikes Frey with lightning once more.

A piece of cloth fell from Frey’s front pocket as she twisted her restrained body in pain.

And seeing that, Lucia’s eyes widened.

“Is it because of this that I was able to sneak into the ship… …. How do you have the holy relics of the ancient gods?”

“That…… A holy thing?”

No matter how you look at it, it only looks like an ordinary piece of cloth, so let’s mutter that.

Lucia picked up the cloth that had fallen on the floor. And after picking it up, Lucia’s body disappeared.

Completely without leaving a trace.

Complete stealth that cannot even be compared to invisibility magic. Lucia let go of it as if feeling bad.

Fallang.

With that, Lucia’s body appeared again.

Even though I kept watching, it was a level of stealth that I almost missed for a moment.

So, I had no choice but to believe that it was an ancient god’s relic. Ordinary artifacts would not be able to achieve such performance.

…… It’s an ancient god’s relic.

Why is a mage in the Mage Tower dealing with things that can only be handled by the imperial family?

Although it is only a fragmentary view.

At that level, it was closer to a superior product than the holy relics of the ancient gods given to the winner in the Mutu Festival.

Complete concealment that even Lucia and I would not have felt properly if it had not been for the agitation.

Because the ability to use was of a different level from the yawns given to the winner of a mere fight.

“Let’s not care about how we possess the holy relics of the ancient gods. Why are you on this ship, you? Did the Mage Tower have to interfere with the Mystic Pirate that much?”

How did he possess the holy relics of the ancient gods?

It was questionable, but there was no reason to question it again.

Rather than speculating that the sacred relics of the ancient gods kept by the imperial family were stole——the hypothesis that the imperial family actually loaned them would be more correct.

I knew from the beginning that the imperial family was in trouble.

It won’t be that strange from now on, no matter what I’m preparing with the wizards of the Mage Tower.

“… ….”

“If you don’t answer, I’ll drop you into the sea. If you can’t even use magic and fall into the sea full of monsters…… How will it be?”

While Lucia interrogates Frey. Approaching the holy relic on the floor, I stared blankly at it.

I confirmed the power I felt from it. And I could tell.

The sacred object is correct.

The holy relic that the emperor personally handed over to me, the sacred relic of Hakma, the god of wisdom.

Because the same power was felt inside that piece of cloth.

The energy was very light, and it was blurry even though I was checking it with the naked eye.

Maybe that’s why I thought it was an ordinary piece of cloth when I first saw it.

But something is strange. If this piece of cloth is a holy relic.

If the same kind of power felt in Hakma’s holy relic, the power that means the holy relic is correct.

‘…… Why, did Triumph feel the same power?’

The secret of the Duchy of Briseyton.

Because the same power was felt in ‘Triumph’, the treasure of the royal family.

However, Triumph cannot be a holy relic.

Isn’t a sacred object created because the ancient god exists?

In the first place, Triumph was an artifact. And if such a famous object was a holy relic, it would have already been retrieved from the Empire.

If the Duchy of Briseyton had been secretly serving an ancient god…… There’s no way the Empire didn’t notice that.

That’s why I was confused.

Triumph has the same aura as the holy relics of the ancient gods.

I wrinkled my brow and looked at Lucia, who was interrogating Elder Frey.

Fray brought this. Maybe he has the answer to this question.

“Lucia, that person… ….”

I was about to speak, but I hesitated. Because Frey, who was tied up, was lying on the ground with her eyes closed before she knew it.

In the meantime, my fingers twitch, but I don’t know if that’s rigor mortis or Lucia’s lightning magic.

“…… Didn’t he kill you?”

“I didn’t kill him. Even if you leave it alone, it will wake up soon. Even if I threatened her, she wouldn’t open her mouth, so I had no choice but to… ….”

At those words, I tilted my head for a moment.

Prey Wizard. Of course, he is a wizard of the 7th circle, and an excellent wizard.

But I’m sure he wasn’t the type with great mental strength. On the contrary, it gave me the impression that if I tortured her a little, she would become intoxicated.

I wonder if it wasn’t for nothing that he reached the level of the 7th circle?

I think I underestimated it too much. My expression hardened strangely when I saw the stunned Frey thinking that way.

The stunned Frey’s mouth was still covered with a forbidden spell that blocked his words.

When the interrogation was started with lightning magic, Lucia’s forbidden magic that had been blocked because the screams were loud.

“…… You covered your mouth.”

“…… Oh.”

After I said that, Lucia, who belatedly realized, let out a sigh.

It’s not that I didn’t say it, it’s that I didn’t. Because Lucia shut his mouth.

…… Did you see it wrong too? What is skillful

Clap.

Lucia approached Frey after scratching the back of her head as if embarrassed, and took her handcuffs out of her subspace and placed them around his wrists.

Ordinary handcuffs will not be a hindrance to a wizard.

That’s why the handcuffs she took out were handcuffs that restrained the operation of her magical power.

The same handcuffs I wore at the last moment in the previous episode.

Looking at the handcuffs, a feeling that was hard to say came to mind, but she didn’t bother to say it.

“… ….”

More than that, an ominous feeling lingered for some reason.

The reason why a mage equal to each of the elders of the Mage Tower pursued the ship with the holy relics of the ancient gods.

Perhaps only the stunned Frey knows that.

No matter what, this voyage didn’t seem smooth, so let’s look at Frey in silence.

After thinking for a while, Lucia lightly flicked her hand.

Then, a splash of water fell on Frey, who had fainted.

Chack!

Fray couldn’t get up even though cold water was poured on him. Beyond that, there was not even a slight movement.

As if dead,

“Wake up?”

As expected, there is no response. It is natural that even if you talk to a person who has passed out, no answer will come back.

But as if she knew, Lucia used one more magic.

The thing that plunges into Frey’s body, which is drenched in water…… A streak of lightning.

Pajijijik!

“…… It hurts, it hurts! It’s so-so!”

Perhaps he didn’t even feel that current, Frey, who had lost consciousness, opened his eyes as if having a seizure.

“Oh, I’m awake. I was thinking of freezing and then defrosting it if it doesn’t happen.”

“…… Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

It’s not like they’re doing some kind of biological experiment.

Still, it is positive that Frey has woken up. You can figure out why he broke into the ship.

Prey hurriedly opened his mouth, probably thinking that if he stayed still like this, he would be destroyed by lightning again.

“…… I will die.”

No, he was in a hurry. That urgency was strangely different from Lucia’s fear of being burned by lightning.

When I saw his eyes, I felt a clear emotion.

No shame, no anger, nothing…….

Horror.

“What?”

“If we continue like this, we will all die!”

Kureung!

The moment he said that, the sky began to turn black as if it were covered in dark clouds.

The mana must have been sealed, but did he use some kind of magic?

I thought so, but I gave up soon. In the first place, that was not a dark cloud caused by magic.

Magic.

That terrible aura was covering the whole sea before I knew it.

“…… Lucia, Miss Raneia!”

As soon as they foresaw the attack, a huge shadow covered the top of the ship.

Innumerable suckers and tentacles attached to Mystic Pirate’s ship.

Then the owner of the bridge raised his head.

Monsters that live in the deep sea. Among them, if you were to compare the ranks, a monster that would dare to be ranked at the top.

“…… It’s the Kraken! Everyone, prepare for battle!”

Kraken.

The sailors who confirmed the appearance of the monster drew their weapons.

Heavy enough to wrap around a huge ship.

He was a gigantic sea monster, but this is a skilled mercenary of the sea.

It’s a Mystic Pirate.

“The magic cannon has been loaded, firing!”

“Yes, it looks like you’re going to get tired of squid on this voyage!”

Too bang——!

In an instant, the magic cannons lined up to intercept the Kraken’s body.

Boom, bang, quaang!

A cannon that passes through his legs and intercepts his torso.

It works. The Kraken’s huge body trembled every time it was hit by a cannon.

Lin, who had seen the war, approached and said, as if she had barely escaped motion sickness.

From noble mtl dot com

“Anyway. The chance we fight…… I don’t think so.”

The war situation was actually like that.

As if she had quite a bit of experience in subjugating the Kraken, Raneia skillfully commanded the crew and brought victory here.

But…….

“No.”

I bit my lip and reached for the scabbard.

This is not the end.

The energy I felt, and the energy I can still clearly feel on my skin is demonic energy.

Kraken is a monster, but he does not have demonic energy. Because the only ones that harbor demons are disasters and demons.

…… That said, there are demons and calamities in this place.

An unpleasant wind blows through the air.

Lucia cast a spell with a nervous look, and soon ‘it’ suddenly appeared in the middle of the ship.

Seeing him, Raneia raised her eyes wide. Magi, demons, and all that stuff, I was genuinely astonished.

“…… That, when!”

A secret treasure of the dukedom of Briseyton that shines viciously without knowing when it was stolen. ‘Triumph’ was in the devil’s hands.

[…] … Offerings to the gods are here.]

I knew the face. Because it was a demon I had seen in the previous episode, and tore to death with my own hands.

The Prophet. Or, the six leaders of the tribe called ‘Devil’, called the Great Devil.

With the resurrection of disaster, the worst monster that slaughtered countless human beings.

“…… Tired.”

[You know me?]

The Great Demon, or Prophet Pirone.

That was her name.
