chapter 23
Episode 23.
The surroundings became noisy. There was only one person I knew who could make such a fuss just by appearing.
“Sword Master… .”
The door opened, and the swordsman entered. The swordsman’s expression looked angry.
“Hey, Sword Saint… It all had a story.”
“after… .”
The swordsman seemed to lose his anger. The Sword Saint’s mouth opened, and unexpected words came out.
“Are you okay?”
“yes… what is that?”
Only then did I notice my outfit.
The wounds were all healed, but the clothes were very damaged. It was an outfit that was attacked by someone no matter who saw it.
“I survived, so it’s okay.”
“So, who were you?”
Ah, the Sword Saint was not angry with me.
It was anger toward someone who was targeting me.
“I cannot tell you.”
I don’t know which group attacked me, but I do know who the client is.
but can’t tell I can’t even let you know
How could he say that he was commissioned to assassinate his half-sister?
“I can’t tell you… .”
The swordsman’s momentum gradually grew.
“Did I look like a good person? If I couldn’t tell you, I’d be seen as such a good person who would quietly understand. My disciple was attacked!”
“Even if this is said to be the Sword Saint, I will never be able to tell you. Even if you threaten me like this.”
“Threat… ?”
I felt sorry for saying it a little too hard, but I couldn’t help it.
If I don’t say this much, the Sword Master will continue to question me.
“… … .”
The swordsman closed his mouth.
It must be organizing your thoughts or controlling your mind.
For now, the Sword Master decided to help control his mind.
“I will let you know as soon as everything is over.”
The swordsman lost momentum.
“okay. And the academy… .”
“You must have been expelled.”
“I will take care of it myself. Come right away.”
“I can’t do that either.”
This time, the swordsman gave off momentum. The Sword Saint gets angry again.
What is certain is that this anger was entirely directed at me.
“Are you saying that now that you’re strong, you don’t need to learn anymore?”
The swordsman must have noticed that I had reached the upper level of Sword Expert, no, I had reached the top level slightly.
But it’s not that I won’t go because I don’t want to be taught by the Sword Saint.
There were things more urgent than that.
“I need to return to my family urgently.”
“… … .”
The sudden disappearance, the appearance of being attacked, and the reason for not being able to tell. Finally, a situation where you have to return to your family urgently.
Even the swordsman would be able to guess to some extent.
“One o’clock is urgent.”
“I will block the expulsion process, so come back quickly.”
The Sword Saint finally understood my situation.
It’s a situation where I said I wouldn’t tell you, but I said everything.
My horse at the academy said I was sent back to my family.
After changing into new clothes, I borrowed the best horse and headed to the family.
I returned with minimal rest. Thanks to that, I was able to arrive much earlier than the original time.
Just before the horse reached the family, he collapsed from exhaustion.
“uh… ?”
A guard recognized me at the entrance of the manor.
“Is this Master Suhar?”
I nodded. Suddenly, in a hurry, I called someone.
I guess he’s trying to tell his father about me.
“If you don’t have anything else to do, let’s go.”
“yes! For now, I recommend that you return to your family.”
I think so too. You shouldn’t give Millia time to prepare separately.
went straight to the gate. The inside of the family was quiet.
I went straight to Milia’s room and opened the door roughly.
“does not exist… ?”
Did he even run away? Or did he go somewhere because of the competition?
“Uh, Master Suhar? You are alive.”
Turning her head, it was Leah, Milia’s exclusive maid.
“Leah, where is Milia?”
“Now all the brothers are in Daejeon. There is an interim announcement for the successor race.”
“is it… .”
I moved to Daejeon.
The gates of Daejeon opened. As Leah said, all brothers were in Daejeon. Fathers and vassals too.
Of course, there was Millia.
My father spoke to me in an excited voice.
“Suhar, I heard the news from the guard. Where the hell have you gone?”
However, I ignored those words and approached with my eyes focused on Sister Millia.
‘As expected, Sister Millia is wearing the necklace.’
Fortunately, Sister Milia hadn’t opened the door yet.
But something was strange. The closer I got, the more Milia became more and more strange. Milia’s expression changes every moment.
The moment we reached Sister Millia’s close range, Sister Millia shouted.
“How are you alive!”
“… … !”
At the same time as Sister Millia’s cry, an ominous energy began to emanate from the neck.
“This can’t be… should have died… what the hell is this… .”
“calm down!”
The door must be about to open. need to calm down Coming straight to Daejeon was the wrong choice.
I couldn’t think of what could have provoked Milia-sama.
And soon, an ominous energy swallowed Sister Millia.
“If alive… I can kill you again… .”
Milia’s eyes were stained black. An ominous energy formed wings behind his back.
It looks like…
One of the vassals said as if possessed.
“Asmodians… .”
The whole family was amazed.
This is obviously going to be controversial.
In the form that the daughter of the Caldert family made a contract with the demons.
“die!”
While I was looking elsewhere for a moment, Milia-sama reached out to me.
Millia’s fingernails were long and turned black.
I drew the exorcism sword and blocked the claw.
kang.
It was definitely not a sound that could come from the clashing of nails and swords.
The first to come to his senses in this commotion was his father.
“Right now, arrest Milia!”
No matter who saw it, Sister Millia was not normal.
A siege spread around Sister Millia.
It shouldn’t be like this. There could be casualties. The moment casualties come out, things will get out of control.
If the door is open, close the door. The door can be closed again by breaking the medlock.
‘It’s my first time using this power… .’
I decided to use the thread from the exorcism sword.
After tying Milia-sama with a thread… .
‘Destroy the Medlock.’
I focused.
“die! die!”
It was difficult to concentrate because Sister Millia kept running at her.
I was focused nonetheless. The man also wielded his sword and used his abilities, so I should be able to too.
I tried several times to tie Sister Milia with thread, but failed.
“What should I do?”
Milia’s power was gradually getting stronger. The moment the door is fully opened, the demon takes over.
If so, the Caldert family might be wiped out by the demons.
“I don’t think this is the time to play tricks.”
I gave up on using my abilities and focused only on my sword properly. And after a while, I was able to drive Millia-sama up to the wall.
Now was the chance.
Instead of tying Sister Millia with a thread, it was a way to hang Sister Millia on the wall.
By manipulating the thread, he made the wall and Sister Millia into one. Sister Millia, tied to the wall, tried to struggle, but in fact, she didn’t think of falling at all.
No wonder. If Ma is involved, this thread can never be unraveled.
“Get out of the way everyone!”
If the Medlock is broken, we don’t know what will happen. An explosion might happen, for example.
That is why I warned the people around me to fall.
“Sister, this will make you feel better.”
I reduced the motion for a draw to a minimum. I wrapped the remaining threads around the exorcism sword.
I thrust my sword into the necklace.
The Medlock necklace collided with the exorcist sword causes sparks.
“Ughguk…”
A strong shock came. As the Medlock necklace gradually began to crack, the ominous energy that had been around Milia began to return to the necklace.
“Quaaa
Sister Millia screamed in agony.
Be patient. He said it in his heart and gave the sword more strength.
Damn- Passeuk.
Medlock completely split into powder and disappeared.
After confirming that the Medlock was broken, I pressed the button on the exorcism sword.
Weiying-
As the thread returned to the exorcism sword, Sister Millia collapsed on the floor.
“…”
I looked at Sister Millia without saying anything. It should be back to normal now.
my father talked to me
“What the hell is this…?”
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to be honest.
“Sister Millia almost got possessed by the demons.”
“It’s a demon… I don’t understand it at all.”
“Well, you can assume that the necklace controlled Milia-sama.”
Next to Sister Millia, he pointed to a necklace with nothing in its place where the jewel should be.
My father’s expression hardens.
“Then, how did Millia get that necklace?”
“I don’t know that either. It was only while studying at the academy that I realized the truth behind the jewel on that necklace.”
A strange jewel that gnaws at the wearer’s mind and possesses demons. That is the identity of Medlock.
“I’m glad though. Arrived before Millia-sama was completely eaten.”
“What do you mean?”
“Medlock is a conduit. If it had been over, there would have been no use destroying the Medlock.”
It’s really fortunate. If it could have been handled quietly, it would have been more fortunate.
I was too careless in that matter.
“For a while, I’m tired, so I’ll go to my room first. Milia-sama may be hurt, so please take care of me.”
Was it because of the use of telekinesis? Or is it because it’s safe? The fatigue of the past came all at once.
I was about to leave Daejeon behind. Everyone in Daejeon was looking at me.
‘this···.’
The eyes of the vassals looking at me are strange.
A gaze as if a hero had been born in the family.
It’s incomplete, but it defeated the demons. It was something worthy of being treated like a hero.
It’s not like they’re trying to put me into the race for successor again. An ominous aura came over me.
‘Mistress, what should I do?’
I went back to my room, ignoring everyone’s gaze. I am so tired right now that I don’t have time to think about anything.
The room was the same as before I left for the academy. It was cleaned regularly and there was no dust.
I collapsed on the bed and went to sleep.
And when I woke up again, my father was by my side.
“father···.”
“Are you awake?”
“···yes.”
I didn’t notice it when I was in Daejeon, but my father’s face was very emaciated.
“Your face is very emaciated.”
“…”
“I can explain your sister’s affairs in detail, so you don’t have to worry about the family.”
“I was very… worried.”
I’m worried. What are you talking about?
“What do you mean by that?”
“Where the hell did he disappear to?”
“ah···.”
For a while, I forgot that I was in the ruins.
