The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

“hmm.”

As soon as I stepped into his lair, something like an emergency bell rang throughout the cave.

“Is it an alarm magic?”

Since they’ve already been caught, I thought I’d better move as fast as I could, so I used light air to get inside.

how are you doing

I didn’t know if he had already come to this hideout or if he was still waiting for someone in the dungeon, so I moved with my senses as tight as possible.

“under.”

As soon as we arrived at his hideout, a wild laugh burst out.

The robe I thought he was wearing was on the ground, and the crystal ball on it was reflecting the cave I had just passed through.

“Kkeuk.”

The funniest thing was that the creator could see a small skull gourd floating in the air in a translucent state.

Hold on.

Pretending not to see him, I pressed the button on the wall enchanted with fantasy magic.

“How did you get that place!”

“I just see it.”

Really. I can feel the flow of energy twisting on the wall, and if I use the Eye of the Creator, I can see through its fantasy magic right away.

It was easier than lying down and eating rice cakes.

“Keuuugh!”

Boo.

Pomera was trying to create her own body again. Dark smoke gathered, and bones as white as snow began to form.

widely.

But I was already holding Pomera’s leash. Because the soul orb containing his soul was held in my hand.

“…you idiot!”

Pomera hesitated for a moment, then called the black marble beside the book into her hand.

“Keukkeuk. To think that an ordinary crystal ball is the marble of my soul! This marble is indeed the marble of my soul containing my soul!”

“Hoo.”

Pomera was stroking the black orb and laughing at me. I would have given him 10 points for his acting if he could even show his expression, but he was just a skull gourd.

“Really?”

“How could the soul of this body be in such a transparent and clear marble!”

“Then I’ll have to break it down.”

With a smirk, I lightly tightened the hand holding the white marble. The marbles had a touch like bouncy balls that children play with.

“Aagh!”

As soon as I applied a little force to the marble, Pomera lay down and started to glow.

“What’s wrong? It’s just an ordinary crystal ball.”

“Gagging! Yes, you.”

“I heard that the lich feels no pain, but it seems to feel pain when the soul orb is stimulated.”

“You knew everything!”

“As you said, when white and black marbles come out, most people will think that the black marble is the marble of your soul. But I know all about it.

It was I who set the Lich’s soul orb to transparent. Unless he was shot in the head, he couldn’t be fooled by Pomera’s robot acting.

“Keuuu, human!”

Blue flames were burning in Pomera’s empty eyes.

[Name: Pomera]

[Attributes: Implementation lv3, Mana Design lv3, Mana Application lv2, Lich]

[Likeability: -94 (killer impulse) ]

[Current mood: I want to make them undead after killing them.]

The level of liking and the state of the current mood are no joke. He seems to have made the worst first impression on Pomera.

“Pomera, a 5th Circle mage belonging to the Tower of Illusion, ah, since you have fallen into a lich, you have become a 6th Circle, and a little more time has passed than before, so are you a 6th Circle Master?”

“What the hell are you doing…”

“With the beads containing the magic of darkness and Krall’s black magic book, he conducted various experiments in the north and escaped. I was caught while trying to escape.”

“Ugh…”

The sound of bones grinding made it clear how Pomera was feeling.

“Ta, did you spend it in the tower? I’ve been used by you guys for over ten years. You devils…”

“What is the tower?”

“What? Then who are you and me…”

“I am Yuren Rocks.”

“Lox? Marquis of Lox?”

“That’s right. I’m going to be your owner from now on. Remember it well.”

As he said that, he gave a sly smile as a way to ask for a favor.

“What kind of master! What kind of a human being!”

“It’s not like that.”

“Kwaaak!”

When I gave power to Pomera’s soul orb, Pomera screamed and sat down.

“Because I don’t want to hear from Rich every time that I’m the master. Compromise and say I’m the master. Talk high.”

“…”

“Why do you have such a heavy head when you’ve lived in the tower as a research slave for nearly 15 years and only been a lich for a year?”

“How do you know that even though it has nothing to do with the Tower… Kwaaah!”

Since Pomera was still at odds with her horse, she gave strength to the soul orb again.

“I still don’t know where you are.”

This guy is a dangerous guy. I thought it would be annoying if I didn’t get the hierarchy right now.

“Lord, Master…”

“Okay. And since you look scary now, replace it with the little skull that was floating in the air earlier.”

Now its eyes were burning with blue fire, and the bones of its body were gleaming black. To be honest, it looks a bit scary.

“As expected, you saw me…, no, you saw me.”

After talking casually, Pomera, seeing my hand move again, began to speak politely.

“Whoa…”

“Yes. It looks much better that way.”

As Pomera let out a sigh and cast the spell, the skull and body gradually became smaller and changed into a skeleton doll.

“Are you not going to kill me?”

“If I was going to kill you, I would have killed you while you were floating in the air.”

“Then why are you saving me…”

“I’m going to use it as my bung-bung.”

“Boo, Bungbung?”

Pomera, who had become smaller, didn’t know what I meant, but she bumped her teeth as if she had grasped the meaning with her sense of tone.

“Oh, there’s no such word here. I’m thinking of using you as my personal mage. Like a warp slave, cleanup, or sometimes to scare people.”

“Mi, you’re crazy! How dare you look at this Pomera… That, stop! I’m sorry.”

Pomera raised her voice as if she was offended by my words, but let’s touch the marble once. He closed his mouth and sighed.

“As a black mage, you can’t use secondary magic or warp, right?”

“That’s true, but are you serious?”

“of course.”

You can usually take it with you in its spiritual form and manifest it only when needed. A portable reach wizard, it seemed really convenient.

“Ugh, how did I…”

The tiny Pomera bowed her head and shook her shoulders.

“Kuk.”

For some reason, I laughed because it was cute.

In fact, Pomera is a villain who reappears later.

Absorbs the power of the Dark Orb, masters the Black Mage, and later reappears as a high-level Lich who even manages to become a Death Knight.

The Pomera of today and the Pomera of that time are different, but…

Anyway, I came with the intention of getting rid of it before it becomes a nuisance, but I changed my mind when I saw that he was in a spiritual body.

After taking the soul orb, I decided to eat it to my heart’s content.

“Find out where the others are now.”

“Well, how do you do that?”

“Ha, stop talking nonsense and quickly return to the transparent bed.”

“I really don’t know anything…”

To subdue the steamship, I deliberately pretended to know everything about Pomera and talked about it, but now it seems to have worked properly.

“Ummm…”

Pomera held up the crystal ball and chanted something, and people appeared. The knights and soldiers recaptured the north wall and were screaming.

“I must go now.”

I put all of Pomera’s Soul Orb, Black Orb, and Krall’s Black Magic Book into the magic bag. Pomera didn’t say anything, just staring at me with a sullen face.

“Hmm, do the priests recognize you when you turn into a spiritual body?”

“I-I haven’t met the priest since I became this body, so I don’t know.”

“Sure. You’ll need an experiment.”

**

“Your Excellency the Duke.”

“Yuren! Thanks to you, I was able to enter the North Face without blood. Thank you so much!”

“No. It’s all thanks to everyone together.”

On my way here, I had only killed one or two undead in front of me, but I accepted his gratitude quietly and humbly.

“hahahaha! I really don’t know these talented people, and who spread such vicious rumors, I won’t let them go if I get caught.”

“I used to be really crazy. Now I’ve come to my senses.”

“Huh, the more I see it, the more I like it. If only I had a daughter…”

From noble mtl dot com

“Even if it’s not that kind of relationship, shouldn’t Rox and Elion build a good friendship in the future?”

“Ha ha ha! Yes, yes!”

Duke Lopert laughed heartily and patted me on the back, as if he really liked me.

“Then I guess I’ll go take care of the people behind this.”

“I’ve already been there.”

“what?”

“yes?”

Everyone who was listening to me and the marquis looked at me with puzzled expressions.

“Now, did you kill the warlock alone?”

“No. There’s his dungeon halfway up the mountain, so I went in. No one seemed to have already left.”

“It’s fortunate. But to go to a place like that alone, no matter how strong you are, it’s dangerous to act alone in a dungeon.”

“I’m sorry. I thought it would be nice to get things done quickly and everyone to rest comfortably…”

“Huh, you’re really…”

Those who heard me once again exclaimed. Everyone’s liking was rising in seconds.

“But I’ll have to check it out first. It’s a cave, there wasn’t anything like that before…”

“That’s it. I’ll guide you.”

He visited the dungeon with the dukes, knights, wizards, and priests.

“Um, this is…”

“Most of these bones belong to monsters.”

“The warlock seems to have been experimenting on monsters here.”

The Marquis, the Mage, and the Priest each began to examine Pomera’s dungeon in their own way. After a while, the people who finished the investigation came out.

“That place is said to be re-examined by the Mage Tower.”

“okay.”

“It’s a pity we didn’t catch him. This guy looks like he’s going to make a big deal out of nowhere…”

“I got scared and ran away, so I won’t show up again.”

“That would be nice.”

Duke Roper was worried about what the black magician would do, but it was a useless worry.

Because he was wriggling in a small spiritualized state right now.

“Now that we’ve got the North Face back, I’d like to hold a festival, but there’s a lot of work to do, so it’s going to take some time.”

“Of course. You don’t know when the monsters will attack again, so you have to repair the gates and walls and start preparing.”

“As expected. I will give a big reward sooner or later not only to you, but also to everyone who helped me with this work, so please come again.”

“You don’t have to give it to me. It’s okay.”

“I’m not okay. I’m going to visit you… no, you don’t have to.”

The Duke looked at me and smiled happily, as if he remembered something.

“What do you mean by that?”

“I’ll see you again soon. In the palace too.”

pomera

“The palace, what do you mean…”

“Since the war against the monsters is over, there will be a reporting ceremony and festival in the palace. Your father would have attended every year. Don’t you know?”

“ah!”

“I guess you remember now. Originally, it was supposed to be open by now, but it was postponed because we were recapturing the North Face. We’ll reschedule the date soon and we’ll be in touch.”

After hearing Duke Ropert’s words, I remembered.

After the war with the monsters is over, the king invites the lords to receive reports, and then holds a grand festival in the capital.

During the festival, a party is held in the royal palace where the royal family and high-ranking nobles gather, and even knights and civil servants who have demonstrated outstanding abilities during the year are invited to the party.

The duke was sure that I would be invited to the party.

“You will definitely go to the party in the palace.”

“No way. And even if I go, I think it will be a little burdensome.”

“You man! It’s such a burden, it’s an honor. His Majesty the King will directly acknowledge your miraculous ability. He might give you a big present.”

I had plenty of money, and since Agnes was there, I didn’t feel like I needed anything. On top of that, it is an honor. To them, the king is heaven, but to me living in modern times, the king is just a human being.

“Your Excellency, I have something to tell you about the repair of the castle gates.”

The duke’s adjutant, who was on the side of the castle gate, approached with notice.

“Um, I’m sorry, but I have to go. I’ve contacted you, so I’ll be leaving the Magic Tower soon.”

“Thank you for caring me.”

“Thank you. I have to say thanks to you. See you later at the palace.”

Duke Roper waved his hands and headed towards the castle gate with his adjutant.

“Well, then…”

After looking around, I visited the Shinto priest I went to with me today.

“hello.”

“Yuren-nim. You’ve worked hard.”

The priest was taking care of the wounded, and when I arrived, he greeted me with a smile.

“Priestess suffered a lot. You’re still working.”

“hahahaha, but those who fight in front are the hardest.”

In case someone wasn’t a priest, each word was melting my heart.

“Just in case, don’t you feel some evil energy around you?”

“You mean here?”

“yes.”

The priest seemed to be concentrating, closing his eyes and muttering something.

“I don’t feel it around here.”
