Characters on this chapter:

“I don’t understand how you escaped from that underground dungeon……!?”

I had no intention of listening to the Crown Prince, who I had little interest in. Initially, I must get my wand and ring again.

I used ivy to restrain the knights who have been pointing their swords at us and the magicians who have been making ready to chant and on the similar time, I transferred in entrance of Veritas. Percival rapidly grabs Veritas’ proper hand as he tries to again away, frightened by us showing in entrance of him with out warning.

“Le-let go!”

“I’ll take this again.”

I take the wand again from Veritas, who’s combating in useless to shake Percival’s hand off, and I couldn’t assist however kiss my wand companion, whom I haven’t seen for a very long time, with pleasure.

I’m sorry, I didn’t imply to allow you to get taken away. Any more, we are going to by no means be aside!

“This isn’t one thing it is best to have both.”

Percival stated coldly, and tore off the ring that was hanging from Veritas’ neck, together with the chain. It was uncommon for Percival to have such a violent perspective.

I’m advantageous so long as I get my ring and wand again, so I wave my wand earlier than Veritas can do anything. Ivy sprang up from the bottom and wrapped round Weritas, rolling him to the bottom like a caterpillar.

Sure sure, that is it! This good feeling! And the refreshing feeling as if the wind was blowing by my physique. The golden mild continues to be erupting from the tip of the wand, however isn’t it glowing greater than regular?

“Ho……I didn’t assume you have been a chantless magician. That is getting increasingly more intriguing. Seems to be such as you’ll be much more helpful than your brother who’s mendacity round.”

“Your Highness Adrian! He’s a ineffective man with out magical powers! I’m a much better magician than he’s!”

Veritas, who has changed into a caterpillar, calls out.

Haa? Are you continue to saying that? When on the earth was that discuss of getting no magical powers from?

Right here, look. Percival is wanting down at you with extraordinarily chilly eyes as a result of the subject is so previous.

Veritas, just like the Earl, is a person of nice shallowness, so he can’t settle for that he misplaced to me, who was handled as a shame and somebody who doesn’t belong within the mansion.

Nonetheless, in the event you have been all the time fascinated about getting forward of another person, it will be troublesome to outlive.

“Nonetheless, plainly the ineffective man has gotten the higher of you, isn’t it? In addition to, I like lovely issues. If you’re a uncommon magician who’s as lovely as a spirit and doesn’t chant, then much more so, received’t you be a magician worthy of being my attendant?”

Gotten the higher of you1手も足も出ない: can’t do a factor; feeling handcuffed; being on the finish of 1’s tether; being at one’s wit’s finish.  It form of actually interprets to having your arms and ft tied, which is humorous as a result of Veritas is actually tied up. is an odd approach of placing it. I someway managed to carry again bursting out in laughter.

Veritas, who was implicitly instructed that he’s extra ineffective than I’m, is red-faced and shaking barely.

Maybe Veritas had no scruples saying that he was a very good magician. He’s actually a descendant of Perfectio, the magician who saved the nation. In actual fact, he’s a fraud magician, however I’m the one one who is aware of about it, so I assume he had some credibility.

That stated, Veritas has a observe report of incomes stars on the academy, so he should have some degree of capacity. I haven’t truly seen him, so I don’t know for positive.

Greater than that. I’ve been curious in regards to the entrance to the ruins behind the Crown Prince, which is roofed in moss and tangled with ivy. The ruins themselves appear to be underground, so I don’t understand how large they’re, however I can really feel a really disagreeable feeling within the air. It was the identical feeling of magic essence that was floating within the basement of Sternkurst Citadel, making my entire physique tingle.

“Uncommon wizard, include me, I’ll take you to a world you might have by no means seen earlier than. In addition to, I’m a tolerant man, and I’ll allow you to hold the third2I assume writer made a mistake, the raws stated 2nd son however Percival is the third so I modified it. son of Vanderwall there as your bodyguard……wouldn’t it’s enjoyable to dote on you proper in entrance of that man?”

When Percival set free a touch of anger, the Crown Prince pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled evenly.

That Crown Prince, it wasn’t simply his style in garments that have been unhealthy. There are all types of issues fallacious with him.

Possibly the Crown Prince left his dignity behind someplace. I received’t say something unhealthy about it, so he higher return and discover it quickly. As a member of the royal household, his lack of dignity is deadly.

“I’m sorry, however I respectfully decline. I’m not interested by a world I’ve by no means seen.”

“Effectively, all proper. You may sit again and watch me rule the continent. Then you’ll realise how nice I’m and you’ll naturally kneel earlier than me.”

After declaring this, the Crown Prince disappeared along with his escort knights and magicians. It appears that evidently the magicians behind him have been switch magicians. He in all probability transferred to the within of the ruins. There isn’t any doubt that there’s something in there.

“……You’ve been left behind, haven’t you?”

Once I checked out Veritas, who was mendacity at my ft, his face was distorted in frustration.

“Why are you in my approach? A shame such as you……! Rattling it! Rattling it!”

Veritas, writhing like a caterpillar tied with ivy, should have forgotten that he’s a magician.

All it’s a must to do is reduce that ivy with magic. I simply tied him as much as get him to be a bit extra docile, it’s not a particular form of ivy or something, it’s simply that I tied it up a bit excessively, besides……

“……Possibly you’re out of magic? What precisely did you do to get to that time?”

Once I appeared carefully, I may see that he’s pale.

“I gave my magical energy to the nice dragon! That’s proper……the dragon egg that I raised with my magical energy will hatch quickly……that approach, I’m positive His Highness Adrian will recognise me……such a factor, such a factor, such a factor with out magical energy can’t be higher than me……. Sure, it have to be so…….!”

An awesome dragon? Elevating an egg with magic?

“Percival, I’ve a foul feeling about this. Let’s go after them.”

“Yeah.”

Leaving the caterpillar Veritas behind, Percival and I head for the inside of the ruins.

Though the ruins differ in scale, the inside construction is mostly related. In addition to, if I observe this disagreeable demonic vitality, I ought to be capable of attain the vacation spot.

We descend the steps whereas illuminating the environment with mild. We should be cautious as a result of we don’t know the place the traps are. Flying objects may be blocked by boundaries, however there are additionally pitfalls, dwelling lifeless, and different traps that may be fairly troublesome.

Anyway, in regular ruins, there can be a number of rooms and divided paths, however this wreck solely had stairs main underground. And the deeper you go, the thicker the magical essence turns into.

“The magical essence is thick……Sapphiras, do you’re feeling unhealthy?”

“Yeah, I’m advantageous. Are you all proper, Percival?”

“Yeah. I’ve a sure degree of resistance to magical essence due to the subjugation within the Forest of Magical Beasts.”

Percival has been taking part within the subjugation of magical beasts since he was younger.

As a result of there’s a giant abyss within the Forest of Magical Beasts, a skinny layer of magical essence is all the time floating within the forest. Even in the event you don’t usually really feel the magic, your physique will get used to it by going out and in of the forest ceaselessly.

“Huh, it’s a lifeless finish……”

The staircase, which appeared to go down endlessly and ever, out of the blue grew to become a lifeless finish and it was unattainable to go any additional. I searched the partitions to see if there was a mechanism someplace, however I couldn’t discover something that appeared like one. I tapped on it, however it didn’t really feel hole on the opposite facet of the wall.

“I see. That’s why the switch magicians have been with him…….”

I didn’t realise that the system is such that you may’t get to your vacation spot with out transferring.

“Shall I strive destroying the wall?”

“Higher not. If we’re not cautious, the entire wreck may collapse.”

“Hmm…… Ah! That’s proper! Come right here, Cait Sith!”

“Nya—n! Did you name nya!”

Once I drew a pale, glowing summoning circle, a black cat jumped out with nice vigour.

Cait Sith finds dimensional gaps and involves our world on his personal. Let him use his distinctive particular abilities to discover a approach ahead.

“Do me a favour and use your wonderful Cait Sith abilities to discover a approach to go underground.”

“Nya? Such a factor, it’s proper right here nya.”

Cait Sith then faucets the stone ground along with his little paw. At that second, the ground gaped and pitch blackness unfold round my ft.

“Sapphiras!”

“Haaah!? You gotta be kidding me!”

I grabbed Cait Sith by the scruff of his neck and pulled him into my arms. And I used to be additional hugged by Percival.

If we fall like this, we’ll die. I lined us with barrier magic, created a gust of wind, and climbed on prime of it. The wind slowed down our fall, so we have been capable of keep away from hitting the bottom. I by no means thought that what I had tried earlier than at Vanderwall can be helpful in a spot like this. One ought to strive every little thing.

As we slowly descended down the deep gap, we ultimately reached a big house. It’s nice to have strong footing.

“Sapphiras, are you damage?”

“Sure, I’m advantageous.”“Myaah!”

Cait Sith out of the blue cried out and jumped out of my arms and onto my shoulder, all his fur standing up and shouting menacingly.

“Ouch, ouch! Cait Sith! Claws! Your claws are digging in!…..or moderately, what’s that……?”

On prime of the unusually ominous altar was a big pitch-black mass that just about touched the ceiling, writhing eerily.

Furthermore, in the event you look carefully, you’ll be able to see many dried corpses caught collectively, as if half assimilated with the black mass. In one in every of them, I discovered a corpse sporting acquainted garments. I really feel like I’ve seen that outfit someplace not too long ago.

The place on earth?

“Fargerson-kyou……”

Percival mutters.

“Eh? Fargerson-kyou?”

I bear in mind now. The person who got here to taunt me within the dungeons, Fargerson, was certainly dressed like that. However nonetheless, he’s modified loads, hasn’t he?

“……I used to be pondering who it was, isn’t this the magician. Good job following me all the way in which right here. Have you ever come to serve me?”

“No, I’ve no such inclination in any respect. Reasonably than that, I simply should ask, what on earth is that?”

I feel it may well’t be, however I’ll ask anyway.

“This? That is my little servant. It was as soon as known as the Black Flame Dragon of Calamity, and was even stated to be able to destroying the world. How do you prefer it, isn’t it a good looking and sinister sight?”

“Ha?”

…… No, actually, you’ve received to be joking.

melon: Can’t wait to see Sapphiras destroying that black mass in a single hit.
