220 – Alice Subjugation (16)

 

I know that people are afraid of me. It’s because I’ve done a lot of work.

 

However, I succeeded in saving Alice. The disappearance of the stigma of bondage from her neck was evidence of that.

 

In addition, he even defeated the abyss, which was the reason for impatiently mastering even 7-star magic, expecting it to appear in advance.

 

All that was left was to deal with the situation against the emperor.

 

That was one of the reasons why he summoned Dupendorf’s army without hesitation. In order to prevent even one person from getting hurt, and at the same time to gain the status of ‘Ice Emperor’.

 

I thought that my very existence would be a powerful bargaining chip.

 

As expected, now I have become an object of fear.

 

Emotions were captured. Even if the current situation makes you angry regardless of rational thinking, there must be a good reason for this. It was for this reason that he tried to suppress his anger as much as possible from the spontaneous words.

 

However, the voice I was spitting out sounded quite menacing to people.

 

“Isaac… .”

 

Suddenly someone hugged me from behind.

 

Dupendorf’s army knows whose side I’m on. In other words, they must have been left alone because they were people who did not need to be stopped.

 

“Isaac, Isaac… .”

 

And the person who hugged me from behind called my name with a faint yet beautiful voice. As if I wanted to remind myself again and again that I was here. Like I won’t miss any more.

 

He turned his head back and looked at her. Rose gold colored hair. It was Luce.

 

“Luce, what are you doing… ?”

 

“I really hate you… .”

 

Luce buried her head in my shoulder and hugged me even harder while saying that she hated me.

 

It was then.

 

“Everyone please calm down.”

 

soft voice. A girl led an escort and appeared in Academy Square.

 

A veil worn over the head. A pure white holy woman’s robe wrapped tightly around her body. She was a saint of the Hellize Church and a first-year student at Marchen Academy, Bianca Entourage.

 

The Imperial Knights, the punitive squad, and the faculty all bowed their heads in unison and bowed their heads to the saintess.

 

Bianca kept her distance from me, put her hands together as if praying, and smiled. Being blind, with both eyes closed.

Psychology: [ I have a favor with you. ]

 

“It was the will of the Lord Manhala that led him to this place.”

 

Saint Bianca suddenly mentioned the name of God and defended me.

 

“A nameless hero and a new Ice Emperor. Greetings. My name is Bianca Entourage. I welcome you as the saintess of the Hellize Church and representative of the main deity.”

 

Backed by the authority of the Holy Kingdom Bardio and the Lord Manhala, Saint Bianca took the initiative and accepted me.

 

How should I react? It was an unexpected situation, so I looked at her quietly.

 

The tension that had surrounded the square had alleviated considerably. Could it be because of Luce and Bianca?

 

The Thunder Emperor Zaul Dragoniac closed his eyes and took the magic circle.

 

“I have no intention of fighting you.”

 

He turned his head toward the brain-jewel.

 

It seemed that they had decided that there was no need to maintain a threatening atmosphere since all the reasons why the four kings had invaded in the first place had been resolved.

 

One after another, the imperial knights took up their weapons, and the subjugation party watched the situation with vigilance against me.

 

“I agree.”

 

The aged man, Flame Emperor Andersen, also released the magic circle and stroked his beard.

 

“I have no intention of engaging in an unnecessary fight with you here. Dorothy Hartnova’s rampage, and the demons in the night sky, all of which have been resolved in your hands.”

Psychology: [ ??? ]

 

Dorothy went crazy?

 

Looking around, it seemed that there must have been an accident beyond Dorothy’s control. Is that why he looked so bad?

 

… Let’s prioritize thinking. Now that Dorothy had calmed down, it would be better to find out later why she was running amok.

 

“I’m cold. You were kind of nervous, right?”

 

The elegant woman in the dress, the apprentice, said while disarming the magic circle.

 

[ Siren Silivian ]

 

Lv : 199

 

race: human

 

Attribute: Water, Ice

 

Risk level: ???

“… … .”

 

Poongje, who had the appearance of a young girl, silently took up the magic circle and the wind bow.

 

[ Erin Campbell ]

 

Lv : 198

 

race: human

 

Attribute: Wind

 

Risk level: ???

 

Psychology: [ ??? ]

 

Except for the Flame Emperor, each of the Yuan kings accepted the power of [immortality]. I’ve heard that when you reach the level of an archmage, you usually get a chance to get your hands on that power.

 

The Flame Emperor, who had the appearance of an aged man, simply did not accept the power of [Fire] with his own will.

 

The rest of the Wonwang’s age could not be determined just by looking at their appearance. Even in the setting book of ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞, the age of the original kings was not revealed.

 

As an aside, there are very few people who are lucky enough to obtain the power of [Immortality] even if they are not archmages. Principal Elena did.

 

“Doing this in someone else’s land doesn’t live like a spirit. I guess I’ll have to be content with confirming that the new ice Empror looks cute. I also had a pretty good look.”

 

The apprentice siren smirked, then turned and waved at me.

 

A sinister smile crept across her face.

 

“See you later, Bingje-nim.”

 

Woo woo!

 

The Siren transformed into a swirling water element and left, scattering beautiful magical powers in a whirlwind.

 

The Realm of the Archmage. It was the ability to transform oneself into elemental form while being human.

 

Before I knew it, Erin, a windbreaker with the appearance of a young girl, came and stood in front of me. He wore an eyepatch over his right eye and was expressionless.

 

I lowered my head and looked into Erin’s left eye. The eyes with wind magic flowed mysteriously.

 

“New ice Empror.”

 

“… … .”

 

“Be cocky.”

 

“… … ?”

 

Whoa!

 

Erin pursed her lips and left the words, then turned into a pale green whirlwind and left Academy Plaza.

 

What is it?

 

“It doesn’t seem like a seat… . Bingje, I will formally greet you later. Don’t promise later.”

 

Roaring!

 

The flame emperor Andersen, wrapped in blazing fire, became a ball of fire and soared into the sky.

 

Soon after, Jaul the Brain Emperor approached me. We faced each other up close.

 

“Long time no see.”

 

“yes… , Do you remember that I didn’t pay you?”

 

“Wages? Hmm.”

 

It is a brain teaser that he was involved in as a coachman during last summer vacation. I jumped out without paying.

 

Jaul pondered, then answered.

 

“… Unfortunately, I forgot.”

 

This bastard, the skill of putting an iron plate on his face was unusual.

 

As I narrowed my eyes, Zaul gently placed a finger on my forehead. There was no sign of attack magic or hallucination magic.

 

“I have something to tell you.”

 

At that moment, a message from Zaul flowed into my head.

 

It was very brief. Zaul immediately lowered his finger.

 

Luce, who was still hugging me from behind, felt Zaul’s magic and glared at him coldly. It seemed that he would not let go if he touched me.

 

However, the message that Zaul gave me did not contain anything that would make Luce angry.

 

‘Wonwang meeting?’

 

In the next two months, I will invite you to the Wonwang Conference.

 

Go find Achel Whiteclark of Duke Whiteclark’s family.

 

She is the moderator of the Wonwang Conference.

 

It was such a message.

 

“That’s enough to know.”

 

Zaul turning his back. His body turned into purple magic power, and then became lightning, leaving the island and crossing the sea.

 

Where Jaul had passed, a flash of lightning remained like an afterimage. Me and Luce looked at the sky where he left.

 

… Were they conspiring among themselves? When this fact was known, it was obvious that the world would turn upside down.

 

Informing and inviting me to such a place must mean that they accepted me as an undeniable icebreaker.

 

It seemed that it would stop at just taking a face stamp here, and that the proper story would be told at the Wonwang meeting.

 

“… ah.”

 

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.

 

I haven’t thought about it yet, but will I be able to enlist the original kings as members of the evil god subjugation team?

 

Their psychology was unreadable, and they were all eccentrics who could not be trusted. However, if they became the strength of the evil spirits subjugation force, it would certainly be reassuring.

 

… Let’s examine the matter step by step.

 

Leaving Luce clinging to her like a turtle shell, she turned her back.

 

I looked at Dorothy, Kaya, Alice, Thunderbird-Galia, and Dupendorf’s general-level troops bowing their heads and bowing their heads to me.

 

smiled awkwardly. It was to reassure them.

 

The reason why things went like this must have been that I was eaten by the abyss.

 

For me, I wasn’t sure that the bottomless pit would appear until I confronted Mephisto. I just guessed. It was after talking with Mephisto that I became convinced. Because of that, I couldn’t tell the story to Dorothy and Kaya.

 

There was no guarantee that he would be able to defeat the bottomless pit, so he felt like it was all or nothing. Fortunately, my firepower exceeded expectations, and I succeeded in breaking the abyss.

 

Even so… , In the end, it was entirely my fault that I didn’t properly tell Dorothy or Kaya and brought things up like this. Surely there must have been a better way.

 

‘I should apologize properly.’

 

Dorothy, to Kaya.

 

To Luce, who worried about me like they did.

 

“Isaac Neim… !”

 

Seeing my smile, Kaya burst into tears and wrapped herself in wind magic, flying over and clinging to my side. Then, floating in the air, he wrapped around my shoulders and rubbed my cheek against my cheek.

 

It was smooth and soft to the touch. It was lovely to see her sobbing and being relieved because she was always called ‘Sir Isaac’.

 

Dorothy staggered over and leaned into my arms. “Hwajaaang… . I was tired… .” As she said, she looked exhausted.

 

Dorothy had a high fever, like someone with the flu. When asked why this happened, Dorothy weakly replied that she did not know. I couldn’t help but be surprised to hear that this just got better.

 

“I’m sorry, Chairman. I crashed… .”

 

“I’m sorry too. come late.”

 

Emotions subsided, and the voice fell silent. I felt a prick of guilt in my chest.

 

It was in a state of depleted mana, but it was possible to put a light cold on his hands. He put a cold hand on Dorothy’s forehead. It was to cool off. Dorothy closed her eyes and rested her forehead on my hand.

 

As we clung to Luce, Kaya, and Dorothy, Alice watched us quietly with a smile filled with many emotions.

 

But that laugh didn’t last long.

 

“Alice Carroll.”

 

As the Imperial Knights led by Vice-Captain Magrio approached Alice, Dupendorf’s commander-level troops blocked them. Magrio frowned.

 

I said, “Wait a minute,” and carefully dropped Luce, Kaya, and Dorothy off and joined the confrontation.

 

Standing in front of Dupendorf’s commander-level troops, he faced Vice-Captain Magrio. It was a heavy atmosphere.

 

The Imperial Knights put their hand blades near the heart and passed the rest of their hands behind their waists, bowing to me in a disciplined way with knightly manners.

 

“Greetings formally to the new Bingje. The vice-captain ‘Magrio Halfent’, belonging to the Fenrir Knights of the 4th Division of the Imperial Knights.”

 

As a Märchen Academy student, you should use respectful words against this person.

 

Knowing what their purpose was, I decided to use my newly acquired position to deal with them.

 

As a nameless hero and ice je.

 

“The Alice Carroll incident happened in the Gerber Empire. Considering the seriousness of the incident, our kingdom cannot easily overlook this.”

 

“yes.”

 

“So, please hand them over.”

 

He frowned and glared at Magrio.

 

Alice Carroll’s personal problems against the Empire.

 

It was a challenge I had to face.
