It was in the morning that I chatted with my mother and thought about the protagonist, but I never thought that I would get the news about him by the evening. "Are you sure it was him?" While Audrey, Daphne, and Lucia were working out on the grounds, I munched on an apple and questioned Faber on the call. To which he replied immediately. "Yes, I am one hundred percent certain, he was dressed like a beggar, and he went around announcing that Daphne was his fiancée like a brain dead guy. Then, after asking for her whereabouts, he recently left for Edmund's Territory." After hearing those appearance and action descriptions from Faber, there was no question in my mind that the protagonist was the only character who would be such a moron to do such things, and no one else. From the beginning, I had ordered Faber to keep his people near Edmund's Territory and Kalaveer City, so that as soon as they saw someone like Kevin, they could immediately notify me. And now, after so long, the pr
This was going to be a tremendous fight, and even though I wouldn't need to show much of my strength in it, but I was always a cautious person. "The strength that is not mine, is not reliable." Therefore, while I was in the carriage that was fast moving on the road under the moonlight, I first sent the three girls back to their rooms and called out to the system. "Show me the total destiny coins I possess." [Destiny Coins: 37150] "Good, increase my rank to the peak of Grandmaster, and don't let the aura fluctuations leak outside." [It will cost 25450 Destiny Coins.] [Does the host confirm the purchase? Y/N?] "Confirm." [Destin Coins deducted] [Ranking up in progress...] The system prompt came, and a huge amount of aura burst out of my body, which was suddenly pulled back inside as if a huge suction had appeared. Such a process continued for a few minutes, and slowly inside my body, I could feel my aura reserves expanding, gradually reaching a point where I could feel a hazy
We arrived at Edmund's estate quickly and hid in the house Faber had long since bought that was closest to the castle. It could be said that the moment Kevin reached Edmund's Castle, and we arrived here, not even a few hours had passed completely. My spy inside also gave me continuous notification about Kevin's situation, and from the looks of it, our protagonist was enjoying the care of maids for the first time in his life. "Enjoy as much as you can, Kevin, because these will be the last moments of happiness in your life." I mumbled to myself and continued to look at the castle secretly. Not only were my own senses constantly monitoring the area around the Castle, but so were those of two other Cardinals. While Saintess Lucia and the other bishops and archbishops had already surrounded the city in secrecy from all sides. Only Audrey was with me at this location, and Dpahne was still in the 2nd Diocese. Now, we were waiting. Waiting for the mouse to step foot in the trap. And
My words that only fell onto his ears made Kevin's eyes widen in shock, and his body trembled in shock and trepidation, trying to break free from under my foot. Nevertheless, no matter how hard he struggled, he was never able to get his body to move under my foot in his state, where all his aura was somehow sealed. Of course, even if he was at his best, he would have still failed regardless. BOOOM! BOOOM! Suddenly, two big explosions occurred in the distance, where the three Cardinals were fighting with Kael. As a response, I strengthened my senses, and I was able to determine that the sole demonic aura present there was extremely close to becoming extinct. 'Looks like the fight's almost over there.' I thought to myself and immediately shouted. "Audrey!" And in a second, a flash of white light appeared in front of me. "Luke!" It was Audrey who was expertly using the Light energy with her Aura and was covered with the blood of all the demons she had slayed. "It looks like y
The arrival of Edmund and his army doesn't create any waves because as soon as he saw the three Cardinals who destroyed the Spade family overnight, he almost pissed in his pants and slumped on the ground. Without any incident, soon, everyone packed up, treated the injured, took care of the aftermath, and left.After returning to the 2nd Diocese, Lucia, Audrey, and I gathered with Daphne in preparation to return to the Steeline Territory with Kevin bound like a prisoner. But just as we were about to leave, there was a yell that stopped us in our tracks. "Holy Son, wait!" As we turned around and saw the old Cardinal coming, he said as he approached us: "Why don't you stay for a bit longer and see the interrogation of that Demon with us?" Cardinal Heath made an excellent suggestion in that regard. Since Kale was the leader of Dawn and the mastermind behind the Steeline family's devastation and the murder of my parents in the novel, I wanted to witness his torture and enjoyed watchi
After making that decision, I didn't wait for long and poured down some healing potions on Kevin, finally making him breathe in relief. Because of the torture he had suffered until now, there was no power left in his body, and he was staring at me with dead eyes. Deep fear and a little rage swirling in them. "Are you feeling relieved? Don't worry, I will give you a gift for the torture you suffered." Those words made his body convulse while sitting, but I ignored him, turned around, and gestured for Daphne to come in. Noticing me calling her, Daphne took a moment to gather up strength in her legs, but eventually she struggled and came in. "Bleh-" The stench of blood and flesh almost made Daphne vomit, but remembering that she was with me, she held herself together, covered her mouth, and stood beside me while looking towards Kevin, who was similarly looking at her with dead eyes as an even greater dread appeared in his heart. "Daphne, meet your fiancée." I pointed toward Kevin
The dimly lit underground basement seemed to echo with the haunting silence of a secret long kept hidden. Daphne's body slipped from my grasp and hit the ground. She couldn't believe that I had killed her, and her eyes were wide open in shock. "..W..hy?" These were her last words. Sadly, I had no intention of telling her anything, so I just continued to look at her as life left her body, and she died without even knowing the reason. Though it was true that I have a physical relationship with her, and my heart should have been racing with panic and grief, but I felt a strange sense of detachment, a void where emotions should have been. It wasn't that I didn't care for Daphne, but she wasn't suitable for me. She was like Audrey, and I knew that given enough time she would also be fully assimilated in my way, but I had no reason to waste time on her now that a new protagonist was coming and I was slowly reaching the peak of what a Mortal body could do. That was why, taking into c
"A new story line? How long will it take?" [Calculating...] [The new storyline will begin at the opening ceremony of the Aura Academy] "Is it like that? However, I don't want to read the storyline for the moment. Maybe a few days later, but not now, because these days, I just want to relax. Moreover, it was clear that this new protagonist would be a student at the academy. "No, no, what am I thinking?" I had just decided to rest, but the moment I learned about the new protagonist, multiple plans started forming in my head. Sigh! With a sigh, I calmed my brain and removed all the notifications from my vision, and then, without giving Daphne a look, I rushed straight towards my beach house. Reaching there, I first melted Kevin's body and cleaned up all the evidence. After that, I went to take a bath, jumped on the bed, and closed my eyes, falling into a deep sleep. * * * * * Two days later. The sun was already high in the sky as I stepped into the courtyard of our castle.
