I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines

96 – The Last-1

“…What on earth are you two doing?”

Faced with an incomprehensible situation, I had no choice but to close my eyes and ask questions.

“Ugh, isn’t it rude to try to interfere with the ladies’ affairs?”

“Lady, you’re sleeping, Katharine, why are you naked?”

“If my clothes get burned… Whew, that doesn’t work, right?”

“Carbossa. Why are you on top of Katharine?”

Carbossa, who made eye contact with me, soon took a deep breath and got down from above Katharine.

“So, what is it?”

This place was a kind of detention facility.

I somehow made up a story and made Kazot the culprit of all this.

It wasn’t a complete lie. Although the princess did not join in my lies, she at least sent me a message that she trusted me.

But the wizards and knights of this region were not fools. I knew at least that Karbosa and Katharine were involved in this incident.

Even if you don’t kill them right away, you can at least detain them in a specific space.

‘I felt somewhat uneasy when they said they were locking Carbossa and Katharine in the same place…’

No matter how much I buried the hatred of the past, there was no way I could endure it forever. There was no way I could endure it for 24 hours.

“It made me feel my pain. That’s all.”

“Wait a minute.”

Carbosaga removed his hand her from behind Katharine ‘s white back her

Traces of dark red flames were clearly left on Katharine’s back

“No, I gave my body some time to recover, but… “

“It was bearable. With Claire’s skill, a wound of this magnitude would be able to recover quickly.”

Car Bossa bit her lip in exasperation.

“It endured.”

“Of course. Did you think I wouldn’t be able to endure this much pain?”

“It wasn’t to the point where I could say something solessly shame. It wasn’t like you, you screamed like a girl – no, you’re a girl, but… You screamed like that.”

“Enduring it doesn’t mean you have to keep your mouth shut. Even though I struggled and moaned, I didn’t tell you to stop.”

The pain that burns the body. That may have been the understanding that Carbossa had been longing for.

“Anyway… Could you please leave for a moment? I think I need to straighten my clothes.”

Behind Katharine’s her back her her her, a dark red flame remained.

The scars left behind are a stigma that will never be erased.

She, too, seemed to have made a big decision of her own.

After leaving the room for a while, I heard Katharine changing her clothes.

“I’m going in.”

“When entering the lady’s room, knock. Didn’t the princess even tell you this simple thing?”

When she knocked on the door with a deep sigh, Katharine opened the door.

Catherine’s appearance was revealed, decorated in the black dress she always wore.

“So, what’s your next plan, black magician with no plans or skills, only magic?”

“I have to go back to the academy.”

“Now that you’ve come?”

“It’s necessary.”

I looked directly into Catherine’s eyes and opened my mouth resolutely.

“You have to go to the academy.”

I got enough rest. I gathered people around me.

“…Eurissia. I trust Mr. Wade, but I think it would be a bit difficult to trust his friends as well.”

The saintess poured out her lips. Her friends were huddled in the corner of her room her her her far away from her.

“You think we’re joining forces to fight an enormous monster. In reality, it won’t be much different from that.”

“Uhm… “

The conflict was deeply dug. Still, they could not fully trust each other.

I nudged Claire who was sitting next to me. She protested with her eyes.

‘Woah, what should I do here! I must really hate that person too…’

‘The only one I can trust is you.’

‘Ugh…’

Claire, with an embarrassed smile, spoke carefully to the saint.

“Uh, those earrings! Did you buy them there too? The jewelry store that you can find by turning to the right outside the academy door-“

“…It is a store run by the religious order. It is not a jewelry store, but a store that sells sacred artifacts for the faithful-“

The saintess who had said that far realized her strange sense of discomfort and tilted her head.

“You mean, did you buy anything there too?”

“Yes, yes! I brought earrings, but uh, I didn’t wear them because I had to fight a lot, but… Here they are!”

Claire quickly took out her bag and searched through it, took out an earring with a sacred-looking pattern and put it on her ear.

“If you do it like this… It’s a set?”

“It doesn’t contain any divine power. It’s a replica. But…”

The saint sighed deeply.

Most warlocks have a hatred for gods. Even if there is no divine power within it, there is no such thing as wearing that symbol on the body.

It may be the warlock’s own hatred, or it may be the hatred of the demon that made a contract with him. In any case, they hated having anything related to God touch their bodies.

Just as those who faithfully serve God refuse to allow the devil’s symbols or patterns to touch their bodies, no matter how helpless and insignificant they may be.

However, Claire was not aware of that fact, and I, who had signed a contract with her, was not the kind of person who interfered with her taste in her earrings.

‘This is real…’

Claire is different. The warlocks here, the warlocks standing with me, are different from the others.

“Okay. Just tell me, Wade.”

The saint who accepted that fact nodded her head with difficulty.

Claire looked at me with eyes that asked, ‘What, what happened?’ I patted her shoulder.

“Now we can finally start talking.”

I looked around. Somehow, I managed to gather quite a bit of power.

Princess party. I didn’t actively intervene to increase their potential, but they were strong enough to not need that.

Although the princess may have given up her ‘unquestionably’ powerful sword, she has no weaknesses that could cause her to collapse in an instant. Kazot must be honest and use his stronger power to defeat the princess.

And that is a terribly difficult thing to do.

Lilian’s power itself is not that strong, but now she is with the elf elder. She has the surviving elves of Hergan Forest standing behind her.

Considering her talent, there’s plenty of room for her to become stronger. Even if she doesn’t get stronger, she has a decent enough level of power.

Even though she burned most of her strength, Carbossa is a pretty strong elf just because of her experience and skill. She may not be able to continuously launch threatening attacks as much as when she fought me, but her strength has not disappeared.

Kelin, too, had now reconciled with Katharine. Without any doubt, she will be able to demonstrate her abilities without hesitation.

I looked at Olivia and Claire alternately. As much as they trusted me completely, the strength they received was also enormous.

Katharine is like that too. Whether it was the princess or Katharine, it was not easy to make one of them a comrade using normal methods.

Everything was strong.

“Kazott will make a final stand. Their destination is the Academy. A huge attack will occur.”

“Why?”

Catherine had her doubts

“Isn’t vacation going to end soon?”

The time spent in Cordoba was not small, and the academy vacation was short.

“It can’t be helped.” The moment the entire empire and the world recognized that this incident was the work of Kazott, they have no choice but to stop moving.”

“If we were to create a structure between the empire and another kingdom… If we gave up efficiency and focused only on slaughter, there would still be a chance, right?”

“The efficiency is so poor. Right now, even here… No large-scale murders have occurred. The number of executives, manpower, and resources they can use will soon be limited.”

“Then it gets even weirder, right? If Kazot’s inner circle is inside the academy, it would be difficult to create a proper faction.”

It is difficult to insert people inside the academy and cause terrorism with the minimum number of people as was done before.

Katharine was a warlock, and she also had experience in plotting. She was able to calmly assess her situation.

“You just have to destroy it. Rather than saying something like, someone’s mistake caused a problem… It’s just causing destruction.”

“If such an extreme method is used… The devil will be mobilized.”

I nodded.

If the goal is to manipulate public opinion in detail or cause conflict, a much more detailed and meticulous strategy is needed.

The executive I took down in the drug case was also a person that Kazott had secretly brought in at least several decades ago.

However, if you are just indiscriminately killing young people who entered the academy, there are many much easier ways.

All they have to do is release the monsters they have collected. All you have to do is massacre the key figures along with the executives.

“You’re trying to gain fear.”

At Katharine’s words, I nodded.

In order to cause misunderstanding and hatred towards each other, a much neater, better prepared and planned strategy was needed.

Kazot effectively lost the key assets needed for the plot.

Now all they can do is threaten, ‘We are so scary, so if you want to live, listen to our orders.’

Even if there aren’t many people who will hear those words at face value, they will somehow be able to raise suspicion by sowing doubt among people.

“You just have to stop it.”

I looked at the people sitting in front of me in turns.

In this fight, there was not a single person who could escape.
