The knights guarding t Persen inside and outside the private room sehe otion and rushed over, but none of them were even a threat.

  They were far worse than the Bck Lion Knights before I took over as their leader.

  They must have been sharp swords at one point, but did they bee so dull after serving a corrupted lord in a remote territory?

  "You savage! Where do you dare to go!"

  "You are quite loyal. But yoing in the wrong dire."

  —Whoosh!

  There was someone who swung his sword ed in aura at the front with a fierentum, but it was just ughable.

  Slow and weak.

  —Thud!

  I stomped my foot ond made the unknown man kneel on the ground.

  But since he was a skilled enough person to spit out aura, he didn’t explode i.

  “Kuhaak!”

  “Run, run away…!”

  Of course, behind the author, the knights of the tship, whose joints were already pletely shattered, were crawling on the ground like earthworms.

  They weren’t even hit directly by a teique, but they were in that state just from the aftermath. What good are knights who are so weak?

  If they had just strengtheheir bodies with mana, they wouldn’t have beeed so easily.

  They were pathetic guys who didn’t even have the basics down.

  “Wh, what… a spirit? Is it a spirit? Is there such a spirit in the world?”

  “If you care about your life, stay still, but if you want to show off your misguided loyalty, e running.”

  —Kuguguk…

  “K, Kwaaaaak!”

  Meanwhile, the author, who was the captain of the guards of the t Fersen family, finally put down his sword and expressed his iion to surrender, uo ehe tinued pressure.

  I frow his behavior that seemed to ck even a shred of pride, but it was not the time to bme him for his dishonor.

  Looking around, the detached room that had beeroyed by my punches had been transformed into a neearance.

  —Jjeojjeok…

  “I’m sorry. I had no choice but to use the illusion because I was worried that the castle itself might colpse.”

  “No, you did a good job. I finally give it some leeway.”

  The ice wall that the vice-captain had created to support the spastead of the ruthlessly destroyed inner wall of the detached room was.

  As the temperature dropped in an instant, the hot and humid space that had been unpleasant became siderably more fortable, and the gloomy atmosphere of the detached room became quite bright due to the beautiful ice sculptures.

  Since we did the interior stru for free, shouldn't t Fersen be grateful to us?

  Of course, he o longer reign as the master of this castle and the ruler of the ty.

  "What the hell! What kind of atrocity is this!"

  "Just stay still, t. I didn't make you and your vassals the same way because I wao interrogate you, not because you're i."

  "What, what the hell!"

  To summarize the outline of this operation, if you have enough power, there's o go all the way.

  Regardless of time or pce, in any form of battle, if you surprise the aer aroy it all at once, you sider it more than half a victory.

  Of course, the enemy leader wouldn't be so easily defeated, so su act is closer to a fantasy than a strategy that is generally discussed seriously.

  If it could be realized, what easier way would there be to achieve victory?

  This operation had to stantly discuss uainties and variables right up until the very end, but at least so far, it seemed like it was getting very close to success.

  "Wow, you did a good job. As expected of you. As expected of a monster raised by the General himself."

  "What kind of embarrassing thing is that? The enemy was too weak."

  At some point, Lord Randolph and several agents from the terintelligence Department emerged from the shadows and blocked the exit of the separate room, and soon a loud noise could be heard from outside.

  "Whoo! Woo!"

  "Sir Raoul! We don't have to do that anymore!"

  "Oh, no. We've bee too aced to it... I'm sorry."

  It arate unit that had been ordered to immediately join forces in case of an ued situation if there was a csh with the enemy leadership.

  Now that it was no longer needed, I should rejoin the main unit.

  —Wriggle, wiggle…

  Meanwhile, those dressed in bck began to attempt regeion in the ruins of the half-destroyed chamber, but were soon brutally sealed off.

  —Kwakjik, kwakjik!

  The tacituriquisitors who had never opeheir mouths during the entire mission.

  They were muttering something with a certain joyous air, crushing the squirming bodies of the men with their maces filled with divine power.

  "It's obvious what the devil worshippers will do. To think that their tenacious vitality would be infinite. How foolish, how foolish."

  "There is no pce for a corrupted soul on this earth. They will be shattered into pieces aurn to the side of the heavens."

  During the Bartok Visty raid.

  The way I dealt with Pietro was close to exploiting the weakness of his near-infinite regeion power, but inally, the standard response was to suppress the attempt at regeion itself with divine power.

  The power that goes against the w is powerless against the power of order.

  The divine power of the celestial gods has an absolute advantage over almost all regeive abilities.

  Beside the heretiquisitors, the priests were f a sacred barrier to firm the kill. With this, the situation in the separate room was over.

  —Gooooo…

  However, Bishop Roberto, who had been trating with his eyes closed to form a sacred barrier, gradually took on an ominous color.

  "…This is a big deal!"

  "What is it?"

  Even at this moment, a deep sense of ay appeared on the face of the devout priest who was stantly praying while making the sign of the cross with one hand and the other.

  It seemed that he had sensed something.

  "This isn't the real pce! It's underground! A huge amount of magical energy is flowing out from the underground of the castle without stopping!"

  "Oh, as expected... There's no way I'd be treated this way. Their mettle 't possibly be this much."

  I had to go down to the basement, straight to the basement.

  There was o stay here any longer. I looked straight at Lord Randolph and said.

  "Lord Randolph. Please take care of this pce with the priests."

  "Hmm. There were already more than a few things I had to interrogate, so this is a good opportunity."

  Aside from his intelligence skills, Lord Randolph's personal military power was also quite good, so if I left this area to him, there wouldn't be any more variables.

  Thinking that, I headed straight to the tral hall, which had bee a mess, with the special ford the deputy ander.

  It was because I o be properly armed befoing down to the basement.

  —Gyaaaaah!

  —The savages have gone mad! Why did you let those guys in in the first pce!

  —Everyone! Kneel down and raise your palms high in the air! If you don’t follow my orders, I will sider you all traitors and execute you!

  ons carrying our ons were entering the main gate of the half-ruined ba hall.

  I was worried, but fortunately, they arrived on time.

  “The ons have arrived. You’ve all worked hard. It’s time to return from being barbarians to being knights.”

  At my words, my men cheered and ran to the wagons, each taking their armor and swords, and quickly regaining their inal forms.

  “Hey, barbarians wearing armor?”

  “We just came to enjoy the party, what the heck is this…”

  The civilians and nobles who were detained in the middle of the party hall and the ballroom looked bewildered as if they didn’t fully uand the situation, but I didn’t have time to reassure them.

  Now, I could feel it too.

  The terribly disgusting momentum and the extremely evil aura rising from below.

  "Vice-captain, you trol the se for me. I'll go underground alone."

  "Captain! No! You have t a few priests with you!"

  I was wearing a new bck iron armor that seemed to have been carefully prepared by Eitri, so I grabbed my sword and lightly stomped my feet to measure the thiess of the ground.

  "It might be too te. I have to get there as quickly as possible, so step aside for a moment."

  "Captain?!"

  The source of the magic was the underground space right uhe ballroom.

  There was no time to search for a passage. The ing magic was still growing stronger.

  —Kugugugu…!

  I drew my sword and poured all my mana into it, causing a huge aura.

  It was extremely ineffit, so I wouldn't have do normally.

  If my master saw me like this, he would se for relying too muy strength and itting ignorant acts.

  However, sihe time was of the essehere was really nothing I could do.

  5 meters, 10 meters… This size should be enough.

  Instead of firewood, I became a lumberjack who cuts the bare ground, and sshed down with all my strength towards the ground.

  —Kwaaaaaaaang!!

  "Kyaaaaah!"

  "Earthquake, earthquake! The ground is colpsing!"

  "Mohat savage leader or knight, that author is a monster! Run away!"

  An act of destru so ignorant that it could not possibly be called swordsmanship.

  Still, I felt proud because I didn't ck strength.

  "Captain? Captain!"

  "Please, Vice Captain!"

  I jumped straight towards the artificial sinkhole that had opened up between the crushed earth.

  —Kuuuung!

  Even sidering that I had dug through the ground, the ceiling of the underground space was a bit high, so I had to fall for quite some time.

  The pce I arrived was a mysterious space filled with magic, a huge altar or something.

  When I raised my head, those bck-clothed people surrounded me.

  As Bishop Roberto said, the real one was here, and the aura I felt from each of them was truly ferocious.

  "You... what the hell are you? The passage must have been blocked, but did you e down through the ground? Are you even human?"

  "Yes. You are definitely human. These days, those who have given up on being human keep askihat question. Are you askihat on purpose because you have doubts about your owy?"

  I answered the meaningless question of the one who resumed to be the leader without thinking and looked around.

  The scale of the magic that had engulfed the space was truly enormous.

  The ones wearing bck were all sitting around, ting something like a spell, and it seemed like they were carrying out some kind of ritual.

  I could feel an ominous feeling on my skin, as if anything could happen right now.

  "Knight with great power. How could you be so dazzled by false lights... Oh, no!"

  I could clearly see that they were just wasting time by talking nonsense, so I immediately took a.

  —Kuung!

  I crushed all the suspicious people lined up around me ahem to the side of the demons or evil spirits they served.

  —ch, ch!

  I swung my sword and took care of all the ones who were standing still, enduring my momentum, whether it was because their bodies were quite durable or because of their magic.

  "What the? Why aren't they ing back to life?"

  I repared for a long and tough battle, but those who boasted such tenacity fell down dead.

  A dark aura enveloped them, and instead eing, they hovered in the air for a moment before dispersing.

  Somethi off, but I decided to think positively for now.

  "...You unspeakable beast. I will definitely kill you in the most painful way."

  "Do you think such childish threats will have any meaning? You will die here."

  After pletely dealing with the thugs, I immediately approached the leader and swung my sword.

  —Shhh!

  However, the bastard's body disappeared immediately, and my sword strike only cut through the air.

  I didn't dodge. The bastard literally disappeared. An ued situation within the expected range.

  In a split sed, I quickly made a decision.

  Behind.

  —Kaang!

  I quickly turned my body and aimed my sword in the dire where I felt the killing i, and with the sound of the bdes g, the blow aimed for my heart was blocked.

  The guy was defenseless until just before my sword strike. If he had shown signs of moving, I would have noticed it already.

  "What, how did you block it? Did you sehe killing i?"

  "I've already met your subordinate who pyed a simir prank. If I hadn't noticed it at all, I probably would've been hit."

  "Tch, that idiot...!"

  However, sihe body of the guy who was in his rightful pce disappeared, it was obvious what had happened.

  Teleportation. And, he must've been aiming for the rear.

  The teleportation that the suspicious person I met a few days ago had used. It seemed to be a simir type of ability.

  However, he actively used it in battle instead of running away.

  He did quite a lot of annoying things. He was definitely not an oppoo be ignored.

  Thinking like that, I was ready to fight with all my might for the first time in a long time.

  "...You monster. I will definitely remember your face."

  The body of the guy ed in a dark aura trembled, clearly showing signs of running away.

  "Where!"

  —ch!

  "Krunch!"

  I swung my sword at the guy's o cut off his breath, but it seemed that I had succeeded in telep in that shap.

  —Roll...

  In the pce where the guy had left, only a piece of horn that looked like a mountain goat's horn, but a little longer and darker, remained.

  I picked it up and looked at it from all angles. No matter how I looked at it, it didn't look like something that would be attached to a human body.

  "What is that guy's true identity? Was he a demon?"

  Unfortunately, we missed the guy, but if we leave this to the priests, we will be able to figure out his identity before long.

  Then we track him down and finish him off.

  "It's been a while since I've moved properly, so I'm a little tired."

  I twisted my hunched body here and there to rex.

  Still, for now, I was able to figure out where the really dangerous guys were before it was too te, so I was able to stop them fr to do something grand.

  I also defeated the enemy leader.

  At this point, I felt like I could fidently report the results to my superiors ter.

  "Sir Wolfgang! Are you okay?"

  "Chief, Chief! The situation is over up there! Reinforts have arrived!"

  I waved my hand to the friendly forces who arrived te.

  It was our victory.
