〈 Episode 239 〉 Battle to subjugate the Four Spirits King (3)
* * *
“Damn knights, let people in in the middle of the night… ?”
Two knights were standing guard at the gate of Baron Roppenheim’s mansion. The servant was fed up with the knights who only knew how to make sexual jokes all the time.
How could they have let a boy like this pass through the mansion, at least if he had done his duty well?
Soon, a young woman with light hair approached. She stood next to Isaac and smiled sweetly.
What is that again? The servant felt a pain in his head for a moment, but then he began to have doubts.
You just let these two young people in? No matter how negligent one is, does that make sense?
‘or not… .’
Could it be that these two people came to defeat the knights?
… No, how are these young people doing? The attendant shook his head. It was a ridiculous idea.
But the attendant’s thoughts were true. Isaac immediately defeated the knights standing guard, crossed the garden with Alice, and reached the mansion.
“Hey. Do you think it makes sense to meet the matriarch at this time? “If you do this, the head of the family will not go down well.”
At that time, a tall man appeared behind the attendant.
Hearing the sound of breathing, the attendant was startled. She immediately moved to the side and bowed her upper body towards the man.
The man stepped forward and let the moonlight shine down on him.
Straight back. A dignified appearance. It was Baron Adrian Loffenheim, a middle-aged man with all his bangs shaved off.
“I’m sorry for making a fuss… ! They said they wanted to see the head of the family at night and tried to kick them out… !”
“Okay.”
Adrian made eye contact with Isaac.
“Did you say Isaac?”
Adrian had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Isaac and the servant from the beginning.
The knights on guard came to meet him because they had already figured out that Isaac had knocked him unconscious without any time to report.
Isaac smiled with a kind face.
“yes. Nice to meet you, Baron Roffenheim.”
“What about the woman next to you?”
“This person is my… .”
“It’s my wife.”
Alice Carroll hugged Isaac’s arm to her chest with a kind smile on his face.
“… … .”
Since he didn’t intend to make a fuss about something like this, Isaac just let out a soft sigh.
It didn’t matter what role Alice played here.
Adrian turned his back without raising any questions, as if he had no interest in the relationship between the two people.
“Please come in.”
Adrian readily let Isaac and Alice into the mansion.
What Adrian needed now was at least one more sacrifice.
Isaac, who had lost his entire family and was Eve’s younger brother, came to visit.
There was a time when I thought it would be nice to be a sacrifice. I was lucky. Now it would be good to sacrifice Isaac.
Alice was a variable, but to Adrian, who received power from the Demon King, she was nothing more than an attractive sacrifice.
“… … .”
Isaac guessed Adrian’s thoughts, and he was right, but it didn’t really matter what happened.
If access was restricted, they were going to force a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the servant could not understand why Baron Roffenheim had let Isaac and Alice into the mansion.
Normally, these young people who committed atrocities would have been caught and imprisoned.
Adrian, who noticed the servant’s questioning expression, explained briefly.
“Eve’s younger sister.”
“ah.”
The servant immediately understood the situation. This was because the employees working at the mansion knew Eve’s family history.
Are you an invited guest? If so, I could understand why the sentry knights let them in and why Baron Adrian Loffenheim came out to meet them.
Moreover, if he was an invited guest who had to be greeted in the middle of the night, he could understand that he, a mere person, did not know anything.
They walked down the dark hallway, relying on the small light from the portable lamp held by the attendant. Meanwhile, Alice held Isaac’s hands together.
“It’s dark, so be careful, honey.”
Isaac, unable to say anything, simply responded that he was grateful.
They entered the reception room.
“Bring the tea.”
“I’ll get it right away.”
The servant went to get into the car, and Adrian sat on the sofa. Isaac and Alice sat side by side on the sofa across from him.
The lamp on the table spread its light, illuminating the room. Thanks to this, Adrian was able to look closely at Isaac’s face.
“As expected, we look alike…” .”
Even though Eve and Isaac had different fathers, they had some similarities. My biological mother had a great influence. Adrian realized that fact once again.
Not long after, a servant brought out tea.
“Thank you.”
“thank you.”
Isaac and Alice greeted each other politely.
After putting down the teacup, the servant walked backwards out of the reception room.
Isaac shook the teacup carefully and then spoke.
“I’m sorry for coming over late at night.”
“No. I’ve already seen you knock out my knights. “If you think of me as an enemy, you’re not in a position to apologize, are you?”

Even though he had already watched Isaac defeating the knights through the window, Adrian took no action.
It was because the situation was predictable.
Adrian abandoned Eve’s mother and took Eve from Isaac. He had already thought that there would be nothing strange if Isaac came to sharpen his sword and seek revenge at any time.
“Then we can talk quickly.”
Isaac glared at Adrian with a smiling face.
“… “Where is my sister now?”
Beforehand, Isaac scanned the mansion with [clairvoyance] and noticed that Eve Loffenheim was not there.
I already had an idea where it was. I was just asking this with the intention of praising Adrian.
“I want to talk about this first.”
Adrian chuckled and leaned back against the back of the sofa.
“I think there are so many worthless trash people in this world. “Especially in rural areas like this.”
Adrian took a sip of tea.
“You especially. “Her magic skills were poor, she wasn’t born well, and she was desperately poor.”
“You remembered.”
“It has to be that way. “At one point, I had no choice but to investigate Eve and find out about your existence.”
Everything Adrian said without hesitation was nothing more than a provocation uttered in defiance of Isaac.
This was because it meant things like, ‘You are the one who best fits the concept of trash that I have defined,’ and ‘I had no choice but to find out your name.’
“It looks like he came back with quite a bit of fighting skill, but where can someone from such humble origins go? If you’ve become stronger in just a few years, it would be best to take down a few of our family’s knights. The effort is futile. Even though I only spoke harshly, I am still grateful to you. He came to me at the right time, and… “And that you are all pure.”
Isaac and Alice rolled their eyes to the side.
A barrier was unfolding in the reception room, with dark magic gently pulsating.
“Do you think young married couples will still use bodies without mixing each other? “You did nothing but thank me.”
“… … .”
“I feel good. “In return, I will tell you one thing.”
Adrian spoke very calmly, with a smile on his face, as if he were having a normal chat.
“I was the one who killed your father.”
Adrian takes a sip of tea and puts the tea cup down on the table.
For a moment, Alice frowned.
“There were two reasons. I wanted to push Eve psychologically. In the end, Eve followed my instructions and spoke harsh words to you before leaving. And I didn’t feel good about him coveting the woman I abandoned. So he killed him.”
Isaac’s father was an ordinary lower-class man with nothing to boast about, and a husband who loved his wife immensely.
It was also the salvation of Isaac’s mother, who had been abandoned and hurt by Baron Adrian Roffenheim.
However, he lost his own son, Isaac, when he was young. It must have been the moment when Isaac’s family’s world collapsed.
If Isaac’s father had been alive, his mother would not have lived a short life due to overwork and worsening illness.
If it weren’t for Adrian’s harsh instructions, Isaac wouldn’t have felt the miserable feeling of being abandoned by his older sister.
Isaac was left alone and tried to survive even though he had no one to rely on, and eventually committed suicide in despair.
And, the cause of all the misfortunes that Isaac had experienced was the nobleman in front of him.
This man was so obsessed with authority that he completely ruined, trampled on, and destroyed everything in the life of the real Isaac, who was from the lower class.
“I see,” Isaac monologued quietly.
Only then was Isaac able to fully understand what kind of family life his body’s original owner had gone through.
“But you can rest assured. Your life will be put to good use, unlike his father’s. “If you were born as trash and become a foundation for me, what could be more valuable?”
Adrian grins. Dark magic bloomed from his right eye.
Originally, the eye was not functioning properly due to a deep burn in the past. But it was fine now.
The evil spirit’s sword can give strength to rotten areas. He had implanted dark magic into Adrian’s right eye.
Adrian explained to the mansion that he had been lucky enough to be healed by a talented priest, and only a few people were shocked to know the truth.
With a roar, several eerie thorn pillars made of dark magic rose up from behind Adrian.
Adrian’s dark magic ate away the air.
“… … ?”
however… Isaac was still relaxed. He seemed unimpressed.
Adrian frowned. I spit out the truth, expecting to see Isaac despair and then fall into fear. It was a disheartening response.
Am I so shocked that I can’t feel reality?
When Adrian had such a question, Isaac took off his glasses and opened his mouth.
“Baron Roffenheim.”
At least I had no intention of getting involved in complicated family affairs until I caught the evil spirit.
So Isaac felt really fortunate.
Because this guy got involved in this journey.
“Is the barrier strong?”
“what?”
A gentle light blue chill flowed from Isaac’s body.
The moment he witnessed the coldness that began to freeze around him, Adrian’s eyes could not help but widen.
This is not the cold energy emitted by an ordinary ice attribute wizard. That high-density coldness was of a type that Adrian had never seen before.
The energy of [Ice Festival]. Isaac decided to show his power to pressure Adrian. The anger that was felt at first glance also played a role.
An enormous amount of magical power descended like a strong pressure.
Adrian was the one who instinctively felt fear.
In an instant, a light blue magic circle unfolded behind Isaac, and ice magic condensed in front of it.
Adrian hurriedly stretched out a large number of awls made of dark magic.
Kwaaaa!!!
A blue light flashed and a roar rang out.
5-star ice element magic [Ice Explosion]. The process of Isaac condensing and exploding magical power changed from the first few seconds to the blink of an eye.
The cold explosion that came in an instant drove away the darkness, collapsed the outer wall of the building, and spewed out sharp ice blocks with great force.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
The huge ice block that was expanding pierced Adrian’s body and settled beyond the collapsed outer wall.
“Ugh… !”
Adrian’s blood poured out of his mouth like a waterfall.
It took several seconds to return my clouded judgment to its original state. Soon, he realized that he had been impaled on the tip of a sharp ice block, leaving a large hole in his upper body.
The cryogenic cold penetrated deep into my bones. Pain beyond imagination struck me.
Adrian’s body, hit by a cold blast, was in a state of severe pain. Extreme cold took over his body.
Adrian whined under his breath.
Dark magic struggled to keep Adrian alive. Because of this, he could not die and had to constantly feel his terrible pain.
“How did this happen…?” ?”
The power of darkness that made me feel omnipotent, as if I could overcome anything, was consumed in such a futile manner.
Isaac and Adrian. There was a vast gap in skill between the two. Adrian couldn’t believe that.
chin.
Isaac climbed onto the sharp ice block and walked away.
Under the pitifully shining crescent moon. Isaac approaches Adrian, who is caught on a block of ice, and looks down at him.
The night breeze caressed Isaac’s blue-silver hair and skin. Adrian looked at Isaac in shock.
“Let me ask you one thing.”
Isaac asked coldly.
“Karlgard, where are you?”
Adrian’s eyes trembled.
A strange light blue energy spread by Isaac. Enormous horsepower. Incredible strength.
and… Even after seeing him ask about Calgart’s whereabouts, I couldn’t help but recognize Isaac’s identity.
“no way… , you… ?”
The name ‘Bingje’ filled Adrian’s mind.
It was hard to understand, but the scene before my eyes was so clear that I couldn’t deny it.
In Adrian’s memories, Isaac was a talentless, useless, and worthless being.
So I couldn’t quite believe the sight before my eyes, but as I thought rationally, it gradually made sense.
Unless you become an archmage who has been hiding your power, there is no way you can reach this level in just a few years.
Adrian decided. Bingje can never win. Because he is a walking disaster. It was not only impossible to win, but it was as if this land was in danger of being destroyed.
Those precious people of King Won… I ended up trampling on it. King Won became the target of resentment.
That fact ate away at Adrian’s reason like a rat.
A harsh pounding was heard on the reception room door. However, the door blocked by the dark barrier did not open easily.
Isaac squatted down and put his right hand out in front of Adrian’s left arm. His ice magic condensed in front of his right hand, and a light blue magic circle unfolded.
Adrian was frightened and said, “Now, just wait a moment…” !” he shouted urgently.
Quaaaa!!
“Kwaaaaah!!!”
A weak [Ice Blast] struck Adrian’s left arm without mercy.
Adrian closed his eyes tightly and screamed. He soon gasped again.
The left arm was twisted in a deformed manner, but no blood flowed. This was because his flesh was torn and the torn area was frozen and the bleeding was forcibly stopped.
The dark magic that tried to regenerate Adrian’s body was simply powerless in front of Isaac’s solid ice.
The dignity of a nobleman could no longer be found in Adrian’s hideously distorted face.
“I’ll ask you again.”
Isaac asked in a voice as cold as ice.
“Karlgard, where are you?”
Isaac had something to carry. The compulsion to overcome evil spirits has always weighed on him.
So, if it is clear that the person you have to face on this journey to defeat the evil spirit has even his or her heart set on evil intentions.
Isaac, who had already endured intense pressure, had nothing to hesitate about.
The knights residing here all rushed out into the garden. They were shocked as they looked at Adrian stuck in the ice block.
“Well, that’s… !”
Adrian couldn’t answer quickly. The act of revealing Calgart’s location would also lead this land to catastrophe.
Quaaaa!!
“Aaaah!!!”
[Ice explosion] also hit Adrian’s right arm.
“What is the answer?”
“Please stop… , please stop now… !”
Quaaaa!!
“Kwaaaa!!”
Isaac used [Ice Blast] again to completely destroy Adrian’s right leg.
In the garden, the knights fired their weapons at Isaac. The wizard intercepted it with elemental magic. However, Alice used telekinesis to block all the attacks.
Isaac’s gaze was still fixed on Adrian.
“say.”
Isaac glared at Adrian closely. It was a firm yet cynical voice.
When Adrian was consumed by pain and could not even respond, [Ice Blast] was cast on his remaining leg.
Quaaaa!!
Isaac grabbed Adrian’s head as he screamed.
From now on, my limbs will not be able to function properly. Adrian broke down.
In the end, Adrian gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain, shedding tears.
“I’m sorry, I’ll tell you… , please stop now. please… .”
I confessed everything.
