I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines

44 – Leaf-13

Although I had mentioned Conrad, I had no intention of immediately barging into the hotel where he was staying and taking him down.

“Where are you going?”

Lilian asked me a question with eyes full of curiosity.

“The place Victor told me about.”

“You didn’t tell me the location, right? Just vaguely, who I met…”

“That’s enough.”

There were quite a few people who sympathized with Kazot’s intentions.

If they didn’t have the minor disadvantage of being a secret terrorist organization, about half of this crazy academy would immediately agree with their will.

Although it was not possible to find out who the ‘reserve member’ was with the knowledge in the game, it was not possible to find out who the ‘Kazott member currently moving’ was.

“Because I have already received enough information.”

However, once they caught the tail, it was only a matter of time before they found out who the ‘Kazott member currently moving’ was.

“Let me check one last time, Claire. Is the magic tool I gave you working properly?”

“Yeah! He’s been drinking a lot of energy… but I think he’ll be okay for a few hours!”

Claire shouted proudly.

“Lilian. Look straight ahead. Recognize it properly. The elf’s eyes will serve as valuable evidence.”

“Even if you say it like that, what should I do…”

Lilian tilted his head.

“Olivia. From now on, be careful of your words and actions. Use the most honorable words you can and behave with dignity.”

“…There is no reason for you to be worried about your honor.”

“I’ll give you what you want, so just listen to me. You won’t lose anything.”

I didn’t know I could get Olivia into this, but she didn’t have much of a hand in me. You must use all available cards.

“…I think this is important, but do you trust everyone here?”

“To some extent.”

Kelin tilted her head, but her steps did not stop.

Her feelings for me may not have been positive, but she still probably trusts my strength.

A warlock who uses an unknown method to extract magical energy from fragments of the void.

“…Explain. Didn’t it end with just two people, Conrad and Victor?”

Olivia shouted indignantly.

“There is one more thing involved. An organization that wants the Academy to be divided.”

“Who on earth!”

“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t know… Well, if you’re curious, it doesn’t matter if you listen. It’s Kazot.”

This is not an ordinary murder case. Everyone was playing into their hands.

Conrad intentionally caused her own ‘subordinate’ to be killed by Fabian. It must have been an intentional act that he went out of his way to find him and provoke him.

And it would not have mattered whether the work succeeded or failed.

Conrad was harassing numerous warlocks, and it only took one warlock who had reached his limit to succeed.

“Who on earth is that?”

“So, I said you wouldn’t know even if you heard it.”

I once again recalled the information I heard from Victor.

‘You said you contacted him through a locked empty space in the knight trainee gym…’

The number of Kazot members was not small, and most of them did not know each other’s identities or names.

So, when giving instructions to their collaborators, they would do so in different places and in different ways.

“Arrived.”

“This is where teachers live, right?”

The academy was wide. And the teachers who were worthy of teaching students at the academy were too noble to live in standardized accommodation.

Historians who left a mark on academics or the best swordsmen in the kingdom used to come as instructors at the academy after their retirement.

They created a small village near the academy and lived among themselves.

“But… Isn’t this dangerous?”

Lilian seemed to have come to her senses and asked me a question in a trembling voice.

“If you’re going to skip it, you can skip it. It’s okay to proceed with the work without you.”

After thinking for a moment, Lilian asked me a question as if she was anxious.

“Joe, this is a good thing, right?”

“Depending on your perspective, at least I think it’s the right thing to do.”

“What to believe…?”

When I arrived at my destination, I looked at the gate and took a deep breath.

“There is no need to participate in battle. Everyone here.”

“What? Then why did you bring me here? Are you just asking me to take a look?”

Olivia muttered in a voice full of anger. I nodded.

“Of course. Take a look.”

There was a basic alarm spell, but I had no intention of sneaking in here in the first place.

“Let’s begin.”

The magic is broken. Kellyn and Claire could see the scene.

“…I didn’t know you had this kind of personality.”

“Because it’s time to move.”

Kazot moved much faster than I expected. I, too, needed to respond.

“Let’s go.”

I lifted my hand, and the door opened. I went in there without hesitation.

“Finally, it has come true…”

It was late at night, but the old man, filled with exultation, was endlessly writing her letters on a scroll.

There was a lot of work to be done. Results were becoming visible.

“In this academy, no, in this world… there is too much trash. There was a lot…”

Idiots who did not have noble bloodlines or outstanding talent, but entered the academy based solely on their immediate ‘skills’.

The old man hated them. The warlocks, who borrowed power that was not his own, were perfectly suited to arouse his hatred and anger.

“It has begun…”

A dispute was taking place. And like all other knights, the old man had no doubt that the one who wielded the power of light would win this fight.

There will be some conflicts, and the peace-seeking empire will not be happy about this, but one day, they will be happy to see a cleaner and more beautiful academy.

‘When that time comes, we will be able to regain peace.’

His keen senses told him that some of the Kazot members he was collaborating with were warlocks.

There was a need to purify. There was a need to make it cleaner and more beautiful.

However, right now, we must ensure that this righteous anger spreading within the academy does not cool down –

“Who are you?”

The old man’s reaction was certainly quick, but his enemy’s surprise attack was even faster.

‘Well, there must be surveillance magic! Why!’

Although he was skilled in swordsmanship, he was virtually illiterate in magic.

A cheap security device commissioned from an ordinary wizard could not prevent a magical intrusion, not a physical intrusion.

‘My… Sword!’

Flames made of demonic energy wrapped around him in the shape of a semicircle. In front of the only arrow, a young warlock was glaring at him.

‘I let my guard down…!’

When he was on the battlefield, he never let go of his sword even for a moment. Even after he entered the academy, he lived that kind of life for a few years.

But the elation that his long-held plan had succeeded made him slack, and that mistake was now strangling the old man.

“There is no way!”

However, although he did not know much about magic, he knew well how to deal with wizards.

‘Magic that pours out flames’ is surprisingly not very powerful.

Not only is the external impact created by a burning fire terrifying, but it could have taken a more efficient form in order to truly harm people.

Moreover, instead of targeting the old man directly, the wizard created a magical flame ‘around’ to limit the old man’s path.

If that is the purpose, there is no reason to be afraid.

‘Somehow… If armor doesn’t work, just use a sword!’

Although he was a powerful swordsman, he could not fight without a sword.

When a wizard appears in front of a prosecutor, he or she does it for a good reason.

Although he seemed defenseless right now, it was clear that numerous defensive spells were surrounding the warlock. Trying to pierce it with a fist rather than a sword was a reckless act.

Just because there was no fire burning in the direction he was facing, it was a foolish move to proceed in that direction.

Because there will be a dark magic waiting for him that is incomparably more powerful than the flames that are just meant to ‘suppress his actions.’

“Haaap!”

The old man threw himself into the flames to grab the sword that was lying on the weapon rack.

His numerous battle experiences suggested that it was the best choice. It was the right response.

The burning fire is much bigger than he thought. That’s what he thought until he realized it was several times hotter.

“Ugh, uh, ah, ahhh!!!”

The firepower is different.

Generally, once a knight or wizard who has honestly accumulated strength reaches a certain level, it is very difficult for a warlock to kill that person.

When a warlock reaches a certain level, he inevitably considers fights between warlocks.

He has no choice but to focus on devotion to evil, making contracts with higher-ranking devils, and making his demonic energy stronger than on personal force.

“Kaaa!!!”

So even at the moment of his surprise attack, the old man had no doubts about his victory.

“Wow, this is ridiculous. Oh my, this kind of magic… Where did you get it!”

This is a terrible waste of magical energy. There is no way a fire of this size could have been created just to prevent the old man from running backwards or to the side.

The old man barely turned his eyes to look straight ahead, and only then did he realize who the person who had attacked him was.

“Wade… De!”

The warlock who had won the fight with Katarin was now standing proudly in front of the old man.
