“The leader is alive!”
“How can someone with their head cut off still live?!”
“Hey, look over there! “Move your head!”
One by one, the mercenaries fell into panic.
I believed that Jeron was not Aaron Dite, but a warlock who changed his appearance through magic. He thought he would be killed by his own hands. But even more terrifying was the sight of Leon Pratz, whose head and body had been separated, alive and making bizarre sounds.
Common sense tells us that a person dies when his head and body separate.
Even trolls, famous for their incredible regenerative powers, cannot survive if their head and body are separated for a long period of time. It was a completely different case from regenerating the brain with only half of the head remaining.
But Leon Pratz was a man.
As mentioned above, the head and body were separated, so death was the right thing to do. But now, my head and body were slowly getting closer, like the S and N poles of a magnet, making a strange noise.
‘ah. It’s annoying. Should I just get rid of it?’
Jeron became increasingly bored waiting for Leon Pratz to merge(?).
The sight of mercenaries scrambling around around was also unsightly. Still, I had as much mercy as possible in my heart, wondering if those guys could have done anything wrong. Waiting for the merger(?) to be completed was also to resolve small misunderstandings caused by the plot.
In fact, if you think carefully about the process by which the misunderstanding occurred, there are many loopholes.
There is also an assumption that Malcolm would not have revealed his true identity. She has no reason to reveal it. However, I took advantage of the situation as if it were the right time and made it impossible to think about anything else by focusing on the fact that Jeron might be a warlock.
So they really applauded and thought it was really great.
‘haha. At times like this, I see that there is a Buddha in my heart too.’
After waiting and quoting someone’s words, Leon Pratz became a combined robot, twisting his limbs at bizarre angles and purring like an animal.
“all… … “Captain?”
A member of ‘Lion Hearts’ cautiously approached Leon Pratz.
Jeron thought for a moment about stopping him, but decided to leave it alone. He had earlier warned me to stay about 50 meters away because he might get killed by that guy. Still, the fact that he approaches means that he either ignored the warning or does not want to believe it. He had no reason to take care of those guys.
The reason I was trying to clear up the misunderstanding was simply because I felt unfair.
‘And usually, in cases like that, you die 100% of the time.’
The moment I thought that, I heard a scream.
“Wow!”
“Because it’s a death flag.”
Jeron muttered and watched as the mercenary approached Leon Fratz and had his head ripped out by the vertebrae. Only then did the other mercenaries scream and retreat or run away, as if they had realized the situation, and Leon Pratz looked at us with burning eyes.
“Krrrrr! “How did you know?”
“You dealt with something absurd about the Lizard Man earlier, right? That guy gave off a similar vibe to you. “If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have known.”
“Krrrrr!”
“Before, he was a lizard man, but this time he’s a bitch? Crrrrr! “I don’t know how to do anything else.”
Jeron, who felt that this was enough to resolve the misunderstanding, raised his sword and pointed it at Leon Fratz. The guy’s appearance was slowly turning into a monster. If the guy we fought earlier was a lizard man, Leon Pratz was closer to a werewolf.
“Werewolf? Lycanthrope? hmm. “I’m confused about what to call it, but it’s not important.”
Jeron ran forward and swung his sword.
Like the new leader of the bandits, the reaction speed of Leon Pratz, who had turned into a demon beast, was on a whole new level. He reacted without missing Jeron’s movements, struck away the sword, and then burrowed into his arms.
Then, instead of using his sword, he pulled out his fingernail and aimed for the heart.
“I experienced that earlier.”
Suddenly!
Jeron cut off his fingernails and chopped up all his fingers and wrists.
Leon Pratz screams in pain.
“Kwaaaa-!”
“I should have used the sword instead. Or get used to that body and attack it.”
The opponent was bad.
What I said earlier when I applauded was still valid.
The limbs of the guy with bloodshot eyes who were trying to regenerate his arms were cut off and cut in half from head to torso. The body of the person who had not yet fallen to the ground was burned with samadhi evolution, and his strength was widened and compressed.
Leon Pratz was reduced to ashes without even leaving a will.
In a short ending that lasted less than a minute, the mercenaries still had expressions of fear, and Jeron left the mercenaries behind and went down to the village with the warlock’s body.
After Jeron disappeared, the mercenaries began to leave one by one, as if they were slowly realizing the situation.
The only ones who stayed until Leon Pratz’s ashes were blown away by the blowing wind were the members of ‘Lion Hearts’.
* * *
When the bandits’ base was reduced to rubble and Leon Fratz faced his end, Ewain and Tristan managed to defeat the ogre. But the two people were not in good condition. No matter how many times I had to vomit blood, my complexion went from pure white to transparent like glass. He had difficulty moving due to a broken shoulder and ribs.
Still, the condition of the two people was much better.
Other mercenaries who came forward to help fight the ogre were at worst reduced to mush or, if they were lucky, injured so badly that they became disabled.
An even bigger problem was that there were still many monsters left.
Moreover, for some reason, he suddenly started going crazy. As the fight dragged on, the mercenaries became more and more exhausted, and the damage increased exponentially.
Waaaa-!
At the moment of crisis, a punitive force appeared. They appeared with fierce shouts and advanced, trampling on monsters in an instant as if sweeping leaves with a rake.
Eventually, the punitive force that advanced while mainly protecting the wounded blew the trumpet of victory as the monsters fled in fear, and similar situations unfolded on battlefields where other mercenaries were present.
“I entrust you with organizing the battlefield.”
“All right.”
Duke Furion entrusted the cavalry commander with organizing the battlefield and led a small group of soldiers. He found Erdin and his knights, joined them, and headed to the bandits’ garrison. He soon saw that his garrison was devastated. Duke Furion’s sentiments were brief.
“… … “This is the end of the Bahur bandits.”
After that, they moved to follow the traces of the battle.
When we arrived at the final location, there were traces of magic everywhere. We also found footprints of many people going down to the village. As I chased it down, I met mercenaries who were going down to the village.
“What happened?”
“that is… … .”
The mercenaries hesitated for a moment, but soon told them about Xeron and Leon Fratz.

Malcolm’s expression darkened as he heard those words. When Erdin took a quick look, he threw up his hand and said it was nothing.
“her. “That happened.”
Duke Furion listened to everything and briefly expressed his admiration. Soon, when I heard that Jeron had gone down to the village, I hurried along with his mercenaries.
Jeron was waiting for him in the military camp.
“I almost fell asleep while waiting. Erdin, you… … no.”
“I had no choice.”
Erdin smiled awkwardly as Jeron’s eyes narrowed.
“What about Malcolm?”
“that is… … “He said he would go to the inn first and rest to see what was going on.”
“hmm.”
Jeron nodded, anticipating what was going on.
When I looked at Duke Furion, he was checking the warlock’s body.
“It came from this guy’s arms.”
Xeron showed the artifacts and the imperial certificate of the Fallen Empire. Duke Furion’s expression hardened as he talked about the communication bead and the conversation he had with him.
The number of people with the authority to enter the imperial family’s reports was very limited. Among the imperial family officials, there are only a few important figures.
“her! Who would have guessed that the rat’s true identity was a member of the royal family. … … “Were there any other characteristics?”
“There was a six-pointed star drawn in the pupil.”
“that… … I have no idea either. It’s not related to the imperial family. Cavalry leader!”
“Yes, Your Excellency the Duke.”
The cavalry commander immediately answered Duke Furion’s call.
“Please call a wizard with expertise in black magic.”
“All right.”
“For anything related to magic, it’s best to ask a wizard.”
While I went to call the wizard, we had a more detailed conversation.
Duke Furion’s expression became increasingly angry.
“There will be a lot of work to do when I get back.”
I don’t think the rat is a member of the royal family. She cannot extract artifacts and information from the imperial treasury on her own. At least a dozen. There may be dozens of rats digging holes in the imperial palace.
After the conversation, when I was lost in thought, the wizard arrived.
“I am the wizard Euclian. “Did you call me?”
“oh. Euclian wizard, please come in.”
The wizard Euclian entered the tent. He bowed his head to Duke Furion and then shifted his gaze to the wand in Xeron’s hand. Since he was a wizard sensitive to the energy of mana, he immediately recognized the powerful power contained in the wand.
“Oh, sorry.”
“Never mind. Please sit more comfortably than that.”
Duke Furion told Euclian to serve refreshments after he sat down and then told part of the story he had heard from Geron. It was about a demon beastman who looked like a lizard man and Leon Pratz, who turned into a werewolf after being decapitated.
After everything was said, I asked a question about black magic.
“Is there a dark magic that can turn humans into lizard men or werewolves?”
“It did not exist until 236 years ago when the Black Magic Tower existed. “If it is the secret magic of the Black Magic Tower, I may not know about it, but the possibility of such magic existing is extremely rare.”
“Is it safe to say that it is extremely rare, even if there is a 1% chance?”
“That’s right. However, the reason I say it is extremely rare is because black magic and the magic ark that transforms humans into the appearance of other races are completely different.”
Euclian thought for a moment and spoke.
“Hmm. To give an easy analogy, it can be seen as the difference between fire-type magic and ice-type magic. Both spells have the same result of inflicting damage to enemies, but the process of inflicting damage is different. The fire series burns and the ice series freezes. “The rune words used for casting are also different.”
“In that case, it would be correct to say that it was newly developed black magic or body modification.”
“That may be true, but we also have to include the assumption that it is not black magic.”
“Can you tell me in detail?”
“I’m cautious about saying this, but in my personal opinion, I think he may have used taboo magic.”
“Are you saying it’s the work of evil magicians?”
The last question was Jeron’s. Euclian’s expression hardened slightly. I wasn’t embarrassed by the direct question. This is because demon magicians themselves were taboo among wizards.
In reality, not only the wizard but everyone else was hissing.
Euclian hesitated for a moment and said.
“that… … .”
