chapter 109
109 – Too Strong
There is one thing to note in order to unravel the complex structure.
It’s about deciding what to do first and following it.
If I did this, most things could be solved without much difficulty.
With this in mind, I am solving the magic formulas of the illusion maze.
A mocking voice is heard from ahead.
“What the heck… Do you think you can undo the magic that has been in the making for thousands of years?”
I don’t know if it was because he was hit by me repeatedly, or if he said that because he was overflowing with pride in his own magic.
‘One thing is certain.’
The point was that there was no magic trick that I couldn’t solve.
I was once again using the bishop to block the pouring magic and analyze it.
A bright voice is heard from above.
“Gotcha.”
With that brief word, the ground I was stepping on turned into the mouth of a huge monster, trying to swallow me.
As I was checking this, I thought it was somewhat interesting that the place where the aftereffects of my mana affect also changed.
She slowly smiled and spoke to her.
“Everyone understood.”
“… What? It’s time to die, so I’m struggling to survive somehow! How can a guy who doesn’t even understand the principles… !”
As I listened to her screaming voice as if she was struggling, I reversed the magic she had used earlier.
“Welcome maze.”
With those words, the mouth of the monster that had appeared beneath me disappeared.
In response to her, numerous monster mouths appear in her place and try to devour her.
I looked at her like that and told her the principles of her magic.
“Even though it’s called a welcome maze… Illusion was not a very important magic.”
“… !”
I laughed out loud as I looked at her shocked appearance
“Illusion magic is just the outer shell. In reality, it would be correct to see it as a large-scale teleportation magic circle that applied teleportation magic.”
“How can you!”
“I told you, didn’t I? “I will analyze it.”
I was laughing.
I was lost in thought as I slowly waved her hand away and began to attack in return.
‘It’s literally like a maze of magic.’
The structure of the magic is simpler than you think.
Shooting fire at the enemy itself is ‘welcome’.
It was a magic formula that used teleportation magic to insert real magic as soon as the illusion touched the enemy.
‘It’s so crude and so stupid.’
If the caster has enormous mana or magic energy and has practiced the spell for a long time to greatly increase its efficiency.
I laughed, thinking that it would definitely show great efficiency.
‘The efficiency will vary depending on how you use it.’
Even though that guy has been training this magic for a long time, he hasn’t completely raised his proficiency.
I think it’s a shame that there is no feeling that the magic has been pushed to its limit.
I copied that guy’s illusion maze magic and talked.
“And rather than using magic that way, it’s better to use it this way.”
The advantage of illusion magic is that it uses a small amount of mana to deceive the opponent as if the magic is real.
To put it another way, it is specialized in deception.
The goal was to have the opponent be mesmerized by my illusion magic and ‘waste’ the mana used when responding.
‘So, if you want to use this magic called the Illusion Maze.’
Rather than using it like that guy used before.
The most ideal way was to mix ‘fake and real’ magic and send it at the other person.
‘Maybe that guy did it because he didn’t want the identity of the illusion maze to be discovered. Or maybe it’s because it’s difficult to activate thousands or tens of thousands of magic at the same time.’
I think I didn’t use the magic properly.
I decided to show him a proper illusion maze.
“Hey, you b*stard!”
As she looked at the pouring magic and weapons, her relaxed expression suddenly disappeared.
With a face filled with shock, jealousy, and anger, he only spits curses at me.
I looked at her like that and attacked her, mixing her lies with her her her her.

“… “
Thanks to her amazing regenerative powers, she is still alive despite having holes all over her body.
I looked at her like that and told a short story about her.
“How does it feel to be Emmental cheese?”
I mentioned cheese with several large and small holes on the inside.
Maybe it was food that didn’t exist in this world, but he couldn’t answer and just shook his head.
I thought the reaction was boring and took out the mace from my pocket.
‘It would be a shame to kill him.’
I was wondering if there was a need to kill him when he could be used as a meat shield or as an experiment.
Soon, it was decided to keep this guy alive for now, citing ‘information gathering’ as the reason.
‘The reason I called this guy in the first place was because of information.’
I see the floor gradually becoming covered with blue blood.
To prevent death, the highest quality potion was roughly sprinkled on the head and stuffed into the mace.
‘Okay then, since we’re roughly finished… Now let’s sort out what’s left.’
I smiled awkwardly and sighed as I looked at the mess around me.
* * *
After that, all situations began to pass quickly.
The Per family mobilized wizards and knights to clean up the mess I had created and at the same time resolve the situation itself.
Shien was hugging me in the name of taking care of me, who had not even a single minor wound, let alone being hurt.
‘It seems like there’s something strange at the end.’
In any case, the important thing is that the Per family is trying to cover up this situation somehow.
I’m worried about the Per family, which not only took advantage of the Heavenly God Church, but also showed open hostility.
I was installing a spell to warn me if the Heavenly God Church invaded here, and Shien suddenly started touching my back.
“… “What are you doing in poetry?”
“As a fiancee, I am checking to see if my fiancee is injured. Is there any problem?”
In a tone that seemed to indicate that it wouldn’t be a problem at all, she sighed inwardly at Shien’s words her her, which instead questioned me.
‘Obviously, when we first met, I was quite rational… Was it rational?’
Anyway, common sense was there… Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t.
Every time a thought comes to mind, I am denied everything.
I quickly changed the subject of my thoughts and sighed.
‘How did this happen?’
I’m holding her head, thinking that the culprit behind everything is Delia, who said, ‘I’m going to become a dog.’
Shien looks at me and continues her words slowly.
“Lord Dern, are you very tired?”
“… No, I’m not that tired. It’s just a pain in the ass.”
“Is that so? “Lord Dern also has a hard time.”
Does Shien know how much of this headache is involved?
I felt like I was going to get a headache if I continued talking, so I sighed inwardly and looked away.
‘Then all that remains is after extracting the information.’
Now it will be a full-fledged conflict with the Celestial Church.
I decided to return home, thinking that I would focus on extracting information with Espin for a while.
* * *
“… “It’s fun.”
After digging up information for about 3 days, I was able to hear some very interesting information.
Espin, who learned this fact, laughed several times and looked at the document.
He then lets out a long sigh and speaks to me.
“You went to Per Street and fought this guy… No, it was already a well-planned plan long before that when the Heavenly God Church contacted the Per family.”
As Espin said, the reason why the Heavenly God Church bothered to contact the Per family and seduce them.
It is said that the intention was to induce information about it to ‘get to me’ and to make me come to Pere Street.
“I asked why they bothered to make you come to Pere Street… They said it was because of the Welcome Library.”
Welcome Library.
An unidentified place where I learned ancient magic.
When such a place was mentioned, I looked at Espin in confusion, suddenly wondering why it was mentioned here.
Espin nodded his head at my curious gaze and slowly continued speaking.
“I’m sorry, but I have no idea why I did such complicated and tricky things because of the Welcome Library. I tried everything I could to find relevant information. This may have been explicitly blocked in the contract, but no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find anything.
“I see.”
“Still, I learned one interesting fact.”
Espin tapped the magic book next to her and spoke to me.
“I heard this from someone on Delia’s side. A large number of believers from the Heavenly God Church gathered near the Welcome Library. They say he suddenly disappeared without a word.”
“What’s so funny about that?”
“What’s interesting here is the time when such an incident occurred.”
Espin spoke to me while holding up one of her fingers.
“The time they gathered near the Welcome Library is the same time you and the bishop met at Rue Pere… “
She laughed as she said that the time I had been beaten and imprisoned the bishop was the same as the time I had disappeared without a word.
“So, to sum it up. “The story is that you caught the bishop so quickly that everything they tried to do was negated.”
At those words, I could only blink.
