Gorneo just couldn’t comprehend what kind of person Prince Davey was for a dangerous assassin like Jack to fully trust and obey him. However, if Jack spoke the truth, then Gorneo’s work had already been planned out for him. Gorneo wondered aloud, “Seriously… Who is Prince Davey…”

“I’m not sure. I would like to know that as well… But it’s against policy for a merchant of information to give out that piece of information so easily.”

“P—Put it on my bill!”

“That human… I can’t tell anything about him. All I know is that he was practically dying from a coma not too long ago, but he’s become a totally different person in just these few months,” Jack revealed.

Gorneo, who was dumbfounded by the ridiculous piece of information, strongly shook his head. He hoped that he had misheard Jack. Then, he simply said, “Alright. Then, please keep me safe so that no one can bother me while I treat these patients!”

Each of them had their job to do; Gorneo acknowledged that fact, and he began preparing to treat patients straightaway.

“[Demi-Hellfire]!”

A 5th circle magic bombed the entire hall, which went up in flames. Although the power of [Demi-Hellfire] was probably incomparable to the power of a legendary 9th circle spell, [Hellfire], this attack was powerful enough against ‘Expert’ level people.

“Gahhh!!!” The knights were swept up by the flames. They rolled on the floor while screaming, then collapsed miserably.

Yulis followed the trail and left the territory as soon as Winley went missing. Since he was the only one who could do it, he had made a bold decision. After following the knights who were keeping him in check and entering this unknown facility, he felt the life drain out of him upon seeing the horrifying situation through the large glass. It seemed that Count Lington was more of a psychopath than Yulis had imagined.

“Keugh!”

Yulis was completely exhausted from using mana extensively and could barely hold himself up with his staff. He looked past the door while supporting himself on the staff. As expected, he saw dozens of the red-uniformed Knights of Destruction who were holding out their swords, and the captain standing in the middle. Yulis yelled, “Count Colio… Where is Princess Winley?!”

Count Colio silently pointed his chin.

Yulis looked over. He could see Count Lington standing right by Winley, who was unconscious and tied up.

Lington wiped the sweat off his forehead like usual and spoke rather unwillingly. “I really didn’t expect you to be lured this easily.”

“Count Lington! Do you know what you are doing?!”

Lington just shrugged at Yulis’ yelling. He cooed, “Well, it’s a win-win situation for both of us. Don’t be so mad; it’s good for us both.”

“How is this damn situation a win-win?”

After Yulis shouted in fury, Lington tilted his head as if he truly didn’t understand. He said, “Don’t you think it’s good? Prince Davey has died and progressed human medicine one step further. And I have gained prestige from that accomplishment.”

“…”

“And for you, Class-5 Yulis… You will help humanity by becoming an exceptional experiment subject. There isn’t a more perfect win-win situation than this, right?” Yulis automatically clenched his jaw as Lington continued speaking playfully, “What do you think? I think it’s quite perfect, so why don’t you stop fighting back and start cooperating…?”

“Oh no… You don’t like the idea?”

“I refuse to listen to your bullshit!” Enraged by the situation, Yulis’ eyes shone with hostility. At the same time, he released a threatening mana from his body.

Count Colio silently raised his sword and pointed it toward Yulis. At the same time, the knights who stood in a line all charged toward Yulis at once.

“You held up for quite a while.”

Even though Yulis had fought back desperately, he hadn’t been able to successfully land an attack on Lington once. To be exact, he couldn’t even get rid of all the knights who had come at him. Each knight was above Expert, and most of them were advanced; perhaps he had gathered only the best among the order.

Yulis’ skills were far superior to the knights since he was a Master, but the problem was that his endurance had a limit, since his physical body hadn't reached the 6th circle yet.

Count Colio slowly approached Yulis. He hadn’t taken a single step after taking out his sword; Yulis’ attacks had all been blocked by the tag-teaming from the Expert level knights. Colio asked Yulis in a scolding manner, “Why did you come all the way here?”

Yulis chuckled weakly and replied, “I came to protect.”

“Who? That princess? Or the residents who are dead? Or Prince Davey, who is probably being dragged here right about now?” Colio asked.

Yulis’ eyes grew wide. “Wh—What…are you…”

“Elder Yulis. Did you really think we were stupid enough to come here without a plan? All the residents are probably killed by the remaining knights on the territory by now.”

“Ah… Ah….” The veins in Yulis’ eyes popped as he shouted in rage, “Ahhhh!!!”

“Keugh…”

“You should’ve run away if you wanted to save someone. You should’ve escaped the territory with as many people as you could have gathered and run somewhere far away.” Count Colio bitterly said to Yulis, but he seemed to be directing his words elsewhere.

Yulis stared at Colio in anger while he was on the ground. Then, he heard Lington mocking him while he was trying to hold onto his consciousness.

“Class-5 Yulis, did you think that you had to step up and rescue everyone? Or… Do you have feelings for this princess?” Lington mocked Yulis.

“…”

“Then you really are a fool! Ahahaha!” As Lington laughed at Yulis, the knights who were standing in line began smirking as well. Lington then tapped Winley’s cheek. “It seems to be the latter… Well, she does have a pretty face.”

“Ah… Ahh… Ahhh!!!!” Yulis tried to get up at once, but that was impossible to do. Count Colio had cut the tendon in his leg.

“Don’t worry. I think I like her. I will definitely use her well as a subject.”

“Lington!!!” Yulis clenched his jaw with bloodshot eyes. All he could do was scream on the ground. Mages didn’t believe in God, but if Yulis’ belief or faith could do something right now, he wanted to pray to be able to stand up, or maybe…

“Get rid of him, Count Colio. He cannot just die, so don’t kill him,” Lington instructed.

“…As you wish.”

Count Colio’s sword was struck with Lington’s hearty laughter. “You can’t do anything alone in life! You have figured that out far too late. Hahahaha!”

“You’re wrong, you worthless piece of garbage. There are strong enemies that one can’t face alone, but you guys are not them.”

[Devil Ylgr’s Exploding Fist]

[Immediately Transforming Ball of Penetration]

[Piercing Strike]

34. Where Are You Going?

It was said that most of a human’s vulnerable spots were gathered in the center of the body: the head, forehead, philtrum, chest, stomach, dantian, and gonads. One would be knocked out no matter where they were hit.

“D—Davey…” Yulis sounded like he was dying.

Perserque clicked her tongue.

-He’s almost dead.

Feeling bad for Yulis, Davey immediately put his hand on him and began to quietly mumble a prayer.

[This is your little lamb asking. I am going to borrow your amazing grace.]

Davey’s prayers were still as disrespectful as ever. However, the power that followed was no joke.

[7th Level Holy Magic]

[Sanctuary]

It was a wide field of constant recovery.

The miracle of the 7th level was that it reverted humans back to their inherent state. There were some injuries that regular recovery magic that used holy power couldn’t heal, leaving behind a scar even if one had poured their power out.
