The Bastard of the Famous Magic Family Became the Prince of the Enemy Country

“… … what?”

I wrinkled my brow and stared at Silverted.

To be precise, it was the spirit body that made up him.

Unlike before, his appearance was clearly visible, but… … .

The essence was not a physical body, but a spiritual body, as it was back then.

“What did you just say to me?”

“They said it was an evil spirit.”

“… … Are you sick?”

I came to the spirit world out of nowhere and the dead Silver Ted was in front of my eyes.

Both of them were puzzled, but they couldn’t get past the sudden title of evil god.

“I was just telling the truth.”

“… … Am I Hubris?”

“To be precise, he was reborn through regeneration.”

“… … Revival?”

When a person dies, the body and soul are separated.

And the soul that is far from the body dwells in the world, is absorbed, and disappears.

Regeneration meant wandering around the other side of the world without going through this process, and then returning again.

“… … I have no memory of that.”

“Of course, he is a separate person from Hubris.”

Right before he died, Shinsoo used this device on himself and the evil god.

That’s why I was able to be reborn in this era.

“… … Is that information passed on as a top secret within the Resurrection Church?”

“That’s right. Actually, didn’t the evil spirit guess?”

“I?”

“Yes, because you saw the information about the evil spirit that Yorgil gave you.”

I was referring to the data Derek gave me.

There was also information other than the words that the memorial camp was a means to imitate the power of evil spirits.

The power that Hubris used was also written there.

“It’s like saying that you’ve mastered the extremes of dealing with darkness and stealth and mind-type magic.”

“… … I did think I resembled his power.”

“You can take my word for it. To the evil god, he is the reincarnation of Hubris.”

… … I had many thoughts about this, but I thought it was pointless to ask further questions.

Because there are more important things right now.

“But why are you here? Aren’t you dead?”

“Dead. But maybe it was the effect of directly accepting the super-recovery technique, so I ended up remaining in the spirit world of the evil god.”

“… … In other words, did you see everything I went through in here?”

“Yes that’s right.”

… … It was embarrassing in many ways to think that someone who was no different from the head of the Resurrection Church was inside me.

Now was not the time to pursue it.

“What did I do?”

“Ancient humans disassembled and analyzed corpses in order to covet the power of evil spirits.”

“… … what?”

“It was the same with the corpse of the Shinsoo. That is why they are called artifacts of evil spirits.”

Hubris on the Sigvarda Continent, Shinsoo on the Feyer Continent.

The two powers created by distributing and analyzing the bodies of the two dwelled in the two continents.

“And I’ve tried to deal with it myself, but I’ve been unsuccessful.”

“Why?”

“Because the power was too strong.”

It was similar to not being able to properly handle S-class artifacts if your level was low.

The difference was that he had been eaten by that power and his life was threatened.

“They couldn’t handle it, so they split the force into three.”

“… … .”

“What was created in the process is that gray-white cube.”

It was a tool to control those who use the artifacts of evil spirits.

Structurally, I said that if it wasn’t the evil god himself, he had no choice but to be defeated.

I was puzzled by this and asked.

“Then why did I suffer? It’s a reincarnation, but isn’t it because you’re not the person involved?”

“It is not. However, it is because the evil spirit accepted impurities.”

“impurities?”

“The power that comes from the memorial camp.”

After that, Silvertedt gave a rather difficult explanation.

That Hubris was an ancient guardian, and that if you accept that power, you will lose your protection.

“To sum it up, I was harmed by that memorial formation.”

“yes. It is also the reason why the powers possessed by the evil spirits could not be used on the members of this world.”

the power of evil spirits.

Its true power was to absorb enemies and make itself and allies stronger.

However, its target was limited to existence in the other world.

That’s why Hubris ate Hastur’s subordinates, beings from other worlds.

The most famous among them was the spirit king of fire, water, wind, and earth.

“Then what should I do?”

“I can fix it.”

He added that he could manifest himself outward and remove the traces.

“It will not affect the level you have built. It only removes the foreign matter attached to the soul.”

“… … Wait, are you saying I can call you out?”

“Yes, it is not much different from the manifestation of the spirit. Perhaps, once called, my soul will perish… … .”

For an instant, an intense murderous feeling lingered in Silverted’s eyes.

“You can add strength to the evil spirit by killing the bugs, so there is no limit.”

It was not difficult to guess who the bug he was talking about was.

He was probably referring to the remnants of the Resurrection Church, including Marcellity.

“That is why I would like to make a request. Please summon me, evil spirit.”

“… … .”

I was troubled for a while.

Perhaps because this is the world of my soul, I felt that there were no ill intentions in those words.

I also knew that what Silverted said was not lying.

“… … Okay, considering the current situation, it seems like there is no answer other than that.”

“Thank you for your generosity like hahahahae.”

“There are other children who have received this power besides me, so can you get rid of them as well?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Okay, then we have to go back now… … After that is the problem.”

Sylvetted says that if the impurities are removed, I won’t suffer more from the device.

However, the problem was after that.

In any case, the condition of the body is not normal due to that.

Even with all my might, it’s hard to stand up to them… … .

“Currently, the core of the evil spirit must have been severely damaged.”

“core? … … Oh, sure.”

The grayish-white cube hit the inside of my body.

It damaged the magic circuit inside the body and the core inside the heart.

“If you remove the impurities, you will no longer be affected by the cube. After that, recover and raise your level.”

“… … State?”

“To be precise, you will rise naturally by recovering. It must be a 7-star intermediate level.”

It was not difficult to understand why.

Originally, the real purpose of training was to put a load on the magic circuit and core.

It was to damage it, repair it, and make it stronger.

It was said that if I recover now, I will naturally get the effect of training.

Thanks to the protection of the magic formula, the inside of the body has not been damaged beyond repair… … .

The problem is that the heart function is rapidly deteriorating.

“After that, you will have to manifest the King of Spirits.”

* * *

The SS formed a square around the fallen Cruz.

It was a choice I couldn’t help because I couldn’t touch the target I had to protect.

This created an ideal condition for the enemy to attack the SS.

“Stop! We have to stop them from rushing!”

Quaang!

A strange phenomenon was occurring in which 3,000 troops surrounded and annihilated 5,000 troops.

No, it was like that at first.

In fact, there was a difference of 2,000 troops.

However, due to the enemy’s offensive, the numbers have already become similar.

Cheak-!

The swordsman’s sword attack continued with fierce momentum.

They were the best, consisting of 4 squads, consisting of 1 7-star senior and 6 intermediates.

In other words, the number was less than 30, but the power was great.

No matter how many guards were blocking it, they slashed it and advanced without hesitation.

Whether it’s magic or ranged attacks, it’s all blocked.

Although each unit’s top-level power and black road came forward to stop them.

Quarreureung-!

Lightning flew towards them.

“Quaaagh!”

“Kuh… … !”

“It’s a spirit attack! Don’t think of it as normal magic!”

The SS were helpless at the fierce lightning that raged from all sides.

Those who were directly hit by the lightning died or fainted, and if they couldn’t block it properly, they couldn’t even control their bodies properly.

“Chuckling giggling! Marcellity, are they really not moving?”

A high-level lightning spirit, Pter, laughed at the Royal Guard proudly.

He had been summoned by the Archbishop of the Church of Resurrection, Marcellity.

“Didn’t I say that because the two princes are in there?”

“It was, it was! You really don’t have to worry about that Skadi!?”

“Yes, he will die, so there is nothing to be afraid of.”

coo coo coo… … .

The atmosphere around is shaking.

An electric current mixed with mana spread all over the place.

It was different in scale from the finely scattered lightning a while ago.

“… … ! Unleash the powerful defensive magic!”

“It must be activated in all directions! Protect the mages!”

“Chuckling!”

Qurrr!

Lightning rained down from the sky.

A scale and power unimaginable with ordinary magic.

Even the activation was so fast that the SS’s defense magic didn’t even unfold.

The moment when so many lightning bolts are about to fall.

Kwagwagwagwagwa-!

A storm of comparable size blocked the lightning.

Among them was Alan.

The red magic power emitted by A-class artifacts shimmered around him.

It was Rothstein’s heirloom.

I hadn’t used it until now because Cruz had instructed me to use it only when really necessary.

If you don’t use it now, it’s difficult to even maintain the dustproof, so you have no choice but to use it.

“It’s done, Alan-sama!”

“Stop solving! Dangerous!”

At that, Alan released the magic, and the SS’s defensive magic immediately unfolded.

Thankfully, the lightning stopped it… … .

“Cheuk-!”

Alan coughed up a handful of blood.

The price for forcibly increasing the output due to the A-class artifact and over-consumption of magical power came.

I couldn’t even properly control my body due to a lot of internal injuries.

Write!

As the soldier who was encamping died, the road was opened.

It was the Hyeopryangdae that broke through the square.

Everyone was surprised by the sudden intrusion and tried to stop it, but Alan, who collapsed, could not control himself.

“Protect Alan… … .”

Write!

A soldier of the SS was cut down.

They rushed to stop the advance of the narrow army, but all of them could not hold out for long.

A sharp swordsman cut them down mercilessly.

Caan-!

Hones and Black Fury’s sword attack stopped them.

Honess’s sword also radiated red magic, but like Alan, he was using an A-class artifact that he had hidden.

Kagagagak!

It gave the power to drive those with high status.

While pouring out a huge amount of mana to protect Alan.

“Retreat, Lord Hornes-!”

cried Alan, coughing up blood.

At that cry, Honess noticed the exquisitely twisted formation of the narrow-minded army a beat later.

It was a posture to annihilate the enemy who blocked them.

“Kuh… … !”

Kagagagak!

The attack was launched in an instant.

The sword attack soared like an awl and surrounded Hones in an instant.

An unavoidable blow from there.

A desperate situation in which not only the besieged Hones but also the black roads standing next to them could not even get out of their bodies.

Kwagwagwagwang-!

A barrage of arrows rained down on the head of the narrow band.

It was Inari’s attack that leaped upward at some point.

“… … !”

The defense was delayed, as if this was not expected by the narrow force.

Part of my body was pierced because I couldn’t stop the arrows pouring down.

But they didn’t panic and fought back.

“Where!”

Quaang!

Anticipating the enemy’s attack, her kick followed.

As a result, the sword’s trajectory was distorted.

That was enough gap for her to draw the bowstring.

Toow-!

An arrow pierced the heart of a warrior.

In that instant, a 7-star superior soldier died instantly.

The moment you try to distance yourself like that.

“… … !?”

Chew!

The sword of the warrior who must have stopped breathing was swung.

As a result, her feet were tied for a very short time.

Squeak-!

A strong swordsman’s sword attack entered the side of the narrow band.

Inari lost her balance as blood poured out from the large wound that connected her upper body and abdomen.

Right before the sword was struck to finish her off like that.

“go away-!”

Quaang!

Furious, Hones let out a roar and swung his sword to push the enemy away.

In the meantime, another black furnace took the lead to protect the fallen Inari.

Hones hurriedly checked her condition as she collapsed.

“Inari! Are you okay? Inari!”

“ah… … It’s okay, he didn’t die instantly.”

Contrary to what was said, Inari’s condition was serious.

The wound on the abdomen was deep enough to see the intestines, and the blood did not stop in the upper body, which was cut diagonally.

Originally, he would have radiated speculation and concentrated on recovery.

However, Inari, who had been fighting with all his might, did not have the strength left to do so.

In response, Hones and the soldiers of the Royal Guard radiated magical energy to increase her resilience, but… … .

‘The bleeding won’t stop… … !’

For a master like her to be in this state, it meant that he would die soon.

In response, Hones poured out his mana with a desperate face.

Inari gently held his hand and opened his mouth.

“I’m fine, so please go back to Bangjin, I can recover on my own.”

“Don’t lie! The wound is not healing… … .”

“Protecting Your Highness is the priority, right? It’s really fine.”

“If you die, how should I look at my older brother? If you, who should protect my older brother, die while saving me… … .”

“I was killed while trying to save Your Highness’ younger brother, so you will forgive me.”

Toduk, tok.

The corpse of the bodyguard with only the upper half of the body was lying next to Hones.

This was no sign of a battle.

The Resurrection Church and the higher spirits they called were tossing the corpses of their allies into pieces.

It was something he had been doing before to agitate the guards, but Hones’ expression greatly distorted.

Pudeudeuk.

But I couldn’t express my feelings.

It was because it led to a rift and gave the enemy an excuse to be defeated.

In fact, I suffered even more damage from this… … .

‘… … damn it!’

Hones suppressed his boiling anger and thought calmly.

I’m holding on somehow now, but this won’t last long.

It is a situation where everyone in the SS, including himself, is forced to endure using hidden artifacts and weapons.

Besides, it’s a situation where you have to stay in one place and block the enemy… … .

‘What should I do… … .’

“Well, Your Highness has opened his eyes!”

Hearing a shout from behind, Hones hurriedly turned his head.
