Chapter 250
Chapter 250: Sparing
Translator: Tseirp
Melfina-san and Mr . Bazak were supposed to be His Highness Albert’s aides but the two of them referred to each other with names that we were unfamiliar with .
“May I?”
“What is it? Begging for your life?”
Mr . Bazak had a vulgar smile on his face and it seemed like he already felt that he had won .
Melfina-san was also calm and didn’t seem like she was worried about us .
But that’s when somebody got in the way .
“Melfina, I don’t get what you guys are saying but quickly come and get this rope off . ”
His Highness shouted loudly .
I really wanted him to read the air but Melfina-san looked towards His Highness and smiled .
Does she still retain her consciousness? I thought for a moment but I was fooled .
“Ahahaha . Your favorite obedient Melfina-chan is gone . Moreover, she has always been disgusted with Your Highness since a long time back~ So, why don’t you die for us?”
It was as if there was a 180 degrees transformation in her manner of speech and even her posture was slightly risqué so she gave off a completely different air even though she looked exactly like Melfina-san .
Most of it was directed at His Highness so although he was shocked by Melfina-san’s words, he now understood the situation quite clearly .
“Idiot . He still has his uses so don’t kill him . ”
Mr . Bazak didn’t even use His Highness as a hostage as he ordered Melfina-san to attack us .
“Eh~ Isn’t it fine . That expression he’s making makes me all tingly . ”
“No . You can target those guys if you want to kill so badly . ”
“Don’t you give me orders . Ha~ well, fine . ”
Melfina turned towards us and her magical power rose in an instant before she shot a spell at us … and was caught in an explosion .
That’s right . It was Melfina who was caught in it, not us .
“I somehow made it . ”
“Luciel-sama, you erected a barrier!?”
Lionel asked with a shocked expression .
“Yeah . It looked like fighting them would be troublesome and I already cast Sanctuary Barrier on His Highness and Mr . Bazak . I barely made it in time . ”
I wouldn’t have had to expend that much magical power if His Highness Albert didn’t shout at them but I was relieved that it at least didn’t result in a fight .
“What! … But it didn’t seem like Melfina noticed the Sanctuary Barrier?”
“Yeah . Using Darkness Magic that I just learned, I coated a thin film on the inside of the barrier . In addition, she apparently wasn’t used to the body yet so I thought that she wouldn’t have sensed anything even if she felt a slight dip in her physical condition . ”
It was a kind of a bet but that was the new spell I invented with Estia and Lydie when we were exploring the possibilities of magic .
“Then, what about Bazak?”
“That guy is still human . He isn’t a demon . ”
Mr . Bazak who had a vulgar smile on his face since before now had a frozen expression .
“Why — !! Luciel-dono should be capable of restoring Melfina’s sanity . Why did you …”
His Highness Albert glared at me but it looked like nothing I said then would work .
I addressed Mr . Bazak as I activated magic on Melfina-san who I defeated inside the barrier .
“Now then, let’s continue our conversation . Where is the real Mr . Bazak? Since you are not a demon, I’m guessing you’re not possessed by a demon either?”
After I asked that, his rigid expression slowly relaxed .
Then, Mr . Bazak muttered as if talking to himself .
“That guy is already dead . Correction, I already killed him . ”
I understood that the Mr . Bazak in front of us was a fake as he announced that he killed the original Mr . Bazak .
However, to me, he was the only Mr . Bazak I’ve met so it didn’t have much impact on me and I moved on to the next question .
“I see . Incidentally, I believe you were the one who spread the information which caused us to encounter the five-man demon squad as well as the Winged Dragon Squad right?”
” … Well, yeah . In order to prevent you guys from impeding Cloud-sama, I wanted you guys to die but those guys are useless . ”
He shook his head in disdain .
Looking at him act that way, there was something I was absolutely curious about .
“By the way, I’ve been wondering why did you not become a demon?”
“There’s no helping it since I had to infiltrate the enemy ranks . Furthermore, there’s no way I would gamble my life on an experiment with a 80% death rate . ”
Perhaps I touched a sore spot as Mr . Bazak strongly asserted the demerit to demonization but it didn’t seem like he was going to attack us .
“Well, I have asked what I wanted to ask . Lionel, what do we do with him?”
“He’ll be nothing but harm if we leave him be so the most effective choice would be to knock him unconscious . ”
“I see . I leave that to you Estia . ”
“Okay . ”
Estia closed the ten plus meter distance between them in an instant and touched Mr . Bazak’s head . He didn’t resist at all and collapsed on the spot .
While feeling impressed with her skill, the other soldiers were also organized just as discussed with Lionel previously .
Then, I walked towards Melfina-san .
Firstly, Melfina-san was not dead yet .
She seemed to be unconscious but there was a possibility that she was pretending .
“I thought that it would have been a lot worst considering how she self-destructed but is the vitality of the demons so strong? More importantly …”
Until that point, my triple-combination of Dispel, Recover and Purification had never failed to dispel demonization .
However, Melfina-san’s demonization wasn’t dispelled .
“Perhaps like how she displayed a separate personality just now, she might not have turned into a demon completely . ”
Kefin came over and said what I had in mind but I didn’t have much time left to save her .
It was honestly because maintaining Sanctuary Barrier continuously expends magical power .
“Well, I promised Lionel after all and it would be troublesome when His Highness would kick up a fuss after he is released so I’ll give it a try . ”
Just as I started chanting .
“Stop — ”
Of all things, His Highness misunderstood my intentions and came rushing over .
