Chapter 235
Noblesse Class
Golden scales dug into his flesh, and red blood flowed.
But even that was brief; the golden scales that had been foreign matter soon settled into his palm, and from within them, golden light poured out.
The widely spread light illuminated the surroundings, spreading from his hand like guide lights.
No, "pierced" would be the more accurate expression—the light was that much more intense.
At that moment when such bright light lit the way ahead, a surprising thing happened.

The corridor connected to endless darkness began to shake.
The needlessly long tiles compressed, the darkness grew increasingly faint, and the castle returned to its original size.

"As expected, it's the power of a dragon."
King Hudret let out a laugh and asked the mage.
"How is it now? Have we entered yet another space?"
"No. The true form of this castle has revealed itself!"
Ėn̊ um̆а̂.id́
The search mage's face brightened.
"And... it's certain. I can clearly sense where the magic distorting space has manifested!"
"Is that so?"
"Yes. If we attack that place, the castle will return to normal."

King Hudret stroked his chin.
Then he said this.

"What if we leave that place alone?"
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Excluding the place maintaining it, let's go to the other places first."
"Then the others will remain trapped in the space, though?"
"Truly frustrating. You should know without me spelling it out."
"Ah."

This is a joint operation, but at the same time, it's a race to claim territory.
When you have the upper hand, is there any need to deliberately let them go?
"Let's move. While we have time, we can slit King Heinkel's throat, after all."
"Yes!"
King Hudret took the lead again and advanced.

Meanwhile, Ferdá, having left the bedroom, was also wandering Heinkel's Domain.
He had once reached the position of Archmage, but now he was naturally nothing more than a 5th Circle mage.

With his abilities alone, he couldn't escape this place.
Of course, that didn't mean it was impossible.
Though a very widely created space, it wasn't infinite, so a destination had to exist.
'To escape... about a week at minimum?'
Е n̊ ü.m а̃
Having finished his calculations, Ferdá reached a conclusion.
'Better to hope someone breaks it for me.'
He wouldn't be the only one trapped here, and countless kingdom forces would be deployed anyway.
The problem was what to do if there were many bastards thinking like him.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
It was just like a poker table full of beginners.
Bluffing to their hearts' content, hoping the others won't call.
W̊е̃b n̆о v ẽl En̊u m̃а̇
Ferdá continued walking down the quiet corridor.
Fanatics, demons, ghoul monsters, beast monsters... .
Various groups tried to attack Ferdá, but all were eliminated.
Fighting alone was far too familiar.
'My strength is steadily draining.'
Would he be able to pour out everything he had when he stood before King Heinkel?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Such doubt stimulated Ferdá's anxiety.
Then, something caught Ferdá's eye.
Unlike the reckless monsters, its speed was extremely slow.
Something was crawling over with great difficulty.
It was the middle-aged man seen during the talks with the Allied Forces.
A king of some kingdom.
Е̄n̈.ú m̊ а
"S-save me... me... quickly..."
He wore splendid armor, but his mouth held bright red blood, and he struggled to cling to the dust-speck of hope remaining.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Even so, he hadn't forgotten his authority as a king.
"Don't just stare... take... action... I can't feel my legs...!"
It seemed he didn't know the fact that his entire lower body had been blown away.
The only mercy Ferdá could give was death.
Е n̆ú m̊a.id
But there wasn't even time for that.
A single sword flew in and pierced his upper body, ending his life then and there.
That sword was exceedingly fine, and bore a pattern similar to the dead king's back.
'Don't tell me... .'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ferdá looked toward the corridor.
Fortunately, the tragedy of a knight killing his king didn't occur.
Ё n ü mа
Instead, what met his eyes were traces of a one-sided slaughter by some existence.
The number of dead knights was twenty-odd.
Chosen to escort the king, they were undoubtedly the kingdom's best.
What swept away the elite was truly demonic.
The aura emanating was unmistakably at least Noble-class demon.
Along with that thought, Ferdá immediately readied magic.

He needed to prepare in advance to bring it down in one hit with high firepower.
Eyes that could see through darkness examined its form.
The moment specific information lodged in his mind, Ferdá couldn't hide his surprise.
"Second Prince?"
Second Prince, Ureas Arken.
Even as he spoke the name, Ferdá doubted whether it was truly Ureas himself.
W̌_е b̀ n o v̌ ēl̆ Ӗñù ḿа_
Horns growing wildly on his face covered it like roots piercing through skin, leaving only a quarter of his facial features remaining.
His skin had turned black, and his pupils reflected a pale white light like a beast of the midnight, creating an eerie feeling.

Ureas had originally been a large man, but he had swelled further, becoming a super-tall figure of 2 meters and 50 centimeters.
His gold armor was in tatters.
'Demonic transformation?'
But he didn't have red eyes like other demons.
Е̇ n ùm̆а . i.d
'Then... a curse?'
What kind of curse would result in such an appearance?
Ferdá tried to think, but there was no leisure for that.
-Ferdá... .

Ureas's pupils pierced the darkness and stared straight at Ferdá.
He poured out the emotions boiling from within.
Е n̂ū m а̊
-Ferdáaaa!!
With a beast-like roar, his form lunged at Ferdá.
Like an arrow with strong tension, he shot out and slashed precisely at Ferdá's waist.
Ferdá's lower half flew off entirely.
Chapak!
The sound was like throwing a lump of paint at a wall.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The wall that should have been stained with blood and flesh spread as if smeared with black paint.
And the black marks moved swiftly, relocating somewhere.
As if it were human fate to be unable to defy gravity, the shadow went to find its master.
Ferdá didn't miss the opening.
"Lightning Spear."
4th Circle Release Magic.
Е̂ ń u_mа̇ .і̃ ď
Red lightning flew in a straight line toward Ureas.
Kwachak!

The red lightning that tore through the demon's skin blew off Ureas's shoulder.
Ureas grabbed his wound and screamed.
-Aaaaaah!! Ferdá! You damn bastard!! How dare you! You attacked me!!
He lifted his eyes, showing a beast's sharp teeth.
Е̊ nu.m а . i̇.d
It wasn't that he'd lost reason and gone berserk.
He was just stupid as usual.
"Second Prince, is your mind still intact?"
Ferdá tried talking to him for now.

Ureas screamed at the top of his lungs.
-I must wash that disrespect of attacking me with your blood!
Ёn̈ ů.m̊а̄
"Calm down. Second Prince. We still have a common enemy.
-Shut up! Like I'd listen to your words! You evil spirit who'll take everything from me!!
A scream of hatred lashing out blindly.
Not wanting to accept that hatred any longer, Ferdá chanted Calm Magic and fired it at his head.
'Strange.'
What Ferdá used was magic that settles blood qi and returns a narrowed field of vision to normal.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He felt it pierce Ureas's head, and thought it had surely worked.
But no reason could be felt in Ureas's eyes.
Why?
The problem was that the surprises didn't end there.
While he was panting, the blown-off left arm was regenerating.
'Something most demons can't even recover... .'
Е̊ ñ üm̄ á .і_d̄
Had Ureas become a Noble-class demon or higher?
Using that black blood?
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The last thing seen through Director Linne's sample was the unstable Bouncer.
It's unbelievable it evolved that much in the meantime.
"Second Prince, pull yourself together. You are the Second Prince of the Arken Empire, a person who could reign as the next Emperor. You must not let a demon steal your mind—."
-Shut up, you trash-like inferior bastard!
Ẽ nŭ.mа̇
Ureas's roar buried Ferdá's words.
-I should've killed you the first time I saw you. From the moment my sister looked at you! I should've smashed you to pieces! How regretful my own stupidity for not doing so!
The anger doesn't stop.
Ferdá quickly judged the situation too.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Talking doesn't work, so all that's left is force.
Cut off his limbs to incapacitate him, or crush his heart to half-kill him.
Ӗn̆u ṁ_a
Ferdá prepares a magic circle.
Ureas, having taken a fatal attack, had no intention of leaving that attack alone.
Naturally, he charges at Ferdá.
But his body tilts forward and he collapses face-first onto the floor.
-What! What's stopping me!!
At his feet was a shadow darker than darkness.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The dark shadow was a powerful force, and even the strengthened Ureas couldn't easily shake it off.
Ferdá's shadow grew even darker, taking the form of a slime and swallowing Ureas.
-Damn it! Damn it!! Ferdáaaa!!!
The magic Ferdá was preparing was Lightning Cluster.
It was a firepower-focused magic that fired a powerful bundle of lightning to shred the entire body.
Even a veteran mage would find it hard to counter, and Ureas might not survive.
Ӗńǔ m a. ï d̄
Didn't matter.
Holding back would put Ferdá in danger.

That was when.
Ferdá, preparing magic, felt something strange.
The shadow lumps enveloping Ureas had all senses alive like parts of Ferdá's own body.
That sensation detected a high heat from Ureas's body that shouldn't have been there.
Ѐ n̊u m а̇ . id̈
Before the guess that it might be a delusion could finish, a scorching heat as if melting everything engulfed Ferdá.
"Ugh...!"
Ferdá quickly cut off his senses.
But the chanting magic continued, and finally a magic circle condensed in Ferdá's hand and took shape.

"Lightning Cluster."
At first it flew forward like the previous Lightning Spears.
W̄.е̂ b̈n̄ o vе̂.l̂ Е̃ nu m̆ а
But the moment it neared the target, its surface began to bloom like a flower, spreading into dozens of lightning strands.
The lightning bundle precisely tore the shadow lump to shreds and utterly violated the form of what was inside.
Head or heart, it didn't discriminate—an indiscriminate attack.
An attack leaving his life to the heavens.
But even that now felt arrogant.
The scorching heat felt from the shadow was saying so.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That Ureas inside that shadow had become something beyond Ferdá's imagination.
At that moment, bright red light leaked from the shadow lump.
The light increasingly heated the shadow lump, and when it had fully ripened to a bright red, it tore and burst that open and leaped out.
-Aaaaaah!!!
A roar tearing the air.
Seeing that form, Ferdá couldn't hide his shock.
W.eb́ n̆о_v̇ еl̇ Е n̈ûm̈ а̄
Ureas originally only used mana in the form of knights' aura, as a pure physical-force type.
And when his form completely changed, the aura had disappeared.

But he was using magic now.
His empty pupils were burning fiercely, and flames erupted from his body's joints, blazing intensely.
It was light so intense that all the shadows Ferdá had extended completely lost their power.
-Shadow...! It was shadow, Ferdá! You're a black mage! You dirty black mage! Kuhahaha!!
Е ñü m̂а
Ureas burst into exaggerated laughter as if he'd caught something good.
-Pretending to be noble, acting cool, but in the end you're just one of the fallen humans!
"Don't know what you're so proud about. Coming from someone who fell for a demon's temptation."
Ferdá spat out intense disgust.

But Ureas made a shameless face.
-A demon's temptation? You think I'd fall for such a low-grade illusion?
Еn̈_ûm a
"Can you still say that after seeing your own face?"
-My face, you say?
Ureas touches his own face.
From his chin up to the bizarre horns.
He seemed to know his own appearance.
-Isn't it quite noble?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
What blooms on the face with only a quarter remaining is joy.
"Are you proud of that ugly mug?"
-You think it's ugly? No, this is the natural appearance for one who rules!
Bullshit spoken with confidence.
-Come to think of it, it's a truly strange thing. Resembling other humans was what was strange. How can we, who look down on tens of millions, be called humans under the sky!!
His voice was filled with excitement.
W̃ё.b_ń о v̈ é l̃ Е̇nu m̃ а̄
He shouted in a voice indistinguishable between ecstasy and wailing.
-The Arken bloodline is golden blood! Gold flows in our bodies! Look!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
He even started self-harming.
He tore open his own chest and poured out what was inside.
If it were a human body, blood would have flowed, but what came from his body was bright red lava.
The lava didn't cool, emitting terrible heat.

-I have the qualification to rule! The qualification to conquer! The qualification to love Olivia!! A human drunk on black magic like you has no qualification to be loved by that child!!
Kwang-kwang!
He stomps his feet, making threatening sounds.
Olivia's words come to mind.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That Ureas sees himself projected onto his mother.
Looking now, it's not just that level.
W е b_n̆о v̌ёl̈ Е ñ u̇ m̀а
The madness he shows is enough to make even Ferdá, who had nothing to do with it, feel sympathy for Olivia.
But if it's born from such a delusion, the thought occurs that it might be solvable.
He cautiously reaches for a breakthrough.
"Your delusions are severe, Second Prince. I haven't had a single thought of embracing the Princess. If you wish, I can swear it right here."
Ferdá could give her up.
They weren't lovers to begin with, and she had no heart for him either.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
-Even if you're like that, do you think Olivia is the same as you?
"What do you mean?"
-How can you not know? That Olivia loves you!
Wonder what dogshit he's spouting now.
"Second Prince, wake up. What you saw is nothing."
-No! It's not an illusion! It was definitely the truth!
W̄ е́ ḃnо v̌ ӗ l Е̂n_umа
"That's a hallucination created by a creature called Trauma. It forcibly makes you think things you normally wouldn't. Open your eyes."
-I'm telling you it's not a delusion! Then why does my sister have your handkerchief!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"Such nonsense... ."
Ferdá couldn't continue.
A memory suddenly surfaces in his mind.
When he faced Olivia alone, she spilled tea, and Ferdá had given her his handkerchief—that memory rose up.

While Ferdá couldn't speak, he convulsed and screamed.
-Why! Why does she smile looking at your lowly handkerchief!
