Chapter 1157

The anti-magic remnants were truly individuals with remarkable abilities.

And among all the abilities they possessed, the most remarkable was that they had somehow managed to convince Lee Han in the end.

While screaming all sorts of screams, the anti-magic extremists proved that they were innocent villains who had nothing to do with Seinguiros.

“It was the Prahgal cult??”

“Y-yes, that’s right.”

“…It doesn’t seem like those Prahgal bastards are in league with those Seinguiros bastards?”

“We don’t know in such detail… Ahhhhh!”

Giselle, who was sitting and resting, clicked her tongue as if feeling sorry.

There was no misfortune like this kind of misfortune.

They were indeed criminals involved with evil god worshippers, but who would have thought it was a different evil god cult.

Catten and the White Tiger Tower students who came running late also cast looks full of bewilderment.

“How can someone be so unlucky…”

“They’re not lying, are they?”

At Angrago’s muttering, Lee Han immediately reacted.

“I thought so too?”

“No, no! No!! You damned bastard! What grudge do you have against us to sow such discord!”

The frightened remnant screamed and glared at Angrago. Angrago panicked and apologized.

“S-sorry.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about, is there?”

“Right? No. If you’re anti-magic extremists and evil god worshippers, it’s your fault!”

Come to think of it, he suddenly got angry. Who were these people to blame others when they had already committed enough crimes to rot in the Empire’s prison for life?

While Lee Han continued the interrogation, Catten checked the surroundings. There might be other traps or ambushes.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his junior Wardanaz, but an excellent swords… no, mage should always be thorough.

“I respect you, Senior.”

Angrago looked at Catten with eyes of respect.

This senior, who had a cute appearance like Professor Verdus or the Penguerin family, would transform into a respectable veteran swordsman once he opened his mouth.

“Where did you learn such things?”

“Ah. Junior. I learned it in the detention room. You can learn so many things in the detention room.”

“…”

The White Tiger Tower students all fell silent at once. Catten didn’t notice his juniors’ bewilderment and continued his advice.

“Unlike the regular detention room, the deep detention room has truly various prisoners. These prisoners each try to seduce and attack people in different ways.”

“No, no. You mean the Principal locked you in the deep detention room?! That’s really too much…!”

Unlike the regular detention room, the deep detention room that existed below it was a place for the Empire’s criminals or people like Professor Verdus.

To lock someone there just for being bad at magic!

“That’s not it.”

“Yes? Then…”

“I just went down because I was bored and lonely. The detention room gets boring rather quickly.”

“…”

While the juniors gaped in shock, Catten explained how to fight one against many.

“By the way. Was this corpse created by the junior from the Moradi family?”

“That’s correct.”

Giselle answered with a respectful attitude.

While she would curse and kick when dealing with friends from the same tower, Giselle became an exemplary knight family origin when dealing with other people.

And this transformation had several advantages. Giselle pretended to be polite while subtly hiding Harenken’s severed head.

She didn’t want to show traces of winning with a hidden blade in front of a senior.

Of course, Catten didn’t care at all.

Catten had already figured out what had happened from the moment he saw the corpse. And Catten didn’t care at all whether she won with a hidden blade or a cowardly trap.

“You used aura really well!”

“Is that so?”

Giselle’s face brightened. The other friends also looked at her with eyes of respect and jealousy.

To hear such words from Senior Catten!

“May I ask when you awakened your aura?”

“Actually, dur…”

Giselle, who was about to say she realized it during battle, hesitated.

When she tried to say that, she suddenly felt like she had been too desperate.

Whenever the time came to face a strong enemy, she would have fully awakened her aura. This was definitely not because of Wardanaz.

“…I had fully realized it even before the battle.”

“Ooh!”

“Moradi…! To hide it even from us!”

The friends were newly thrilled by Giselle’s cunning.

If this incident hadn’t happened, she would have hidden the fact that she could fully handle aura and cunningly set traps.

The thought that she would have made bets on whether she could use aura or not and cleanly made them penniless sent chills down their spines.

* * *

“One near the market alley by the south gate, one in the eastern temple district… No, you have quite the nerve. Good. I’ll trust you.”

While the White Tiger Tower students chattered behind him, Lee Han finished the interrogation.

Having heard all the locations of the hideouts where the enemy was staying, he now planned to attack immediately without giving them a chance.

He would also send word to Knight Captain Garcia and the death knights under his command who were waiting outside.

‘Oops. I unconsciously thought of the professor as the leader of the knights.’

“I’m going to extract the bugs now.”

“Wait, wait!”

The remnants screamed in surprise.

Of course, they wanted to remove the evil god’s bugs that had settled in their souls right away. Because of these bugs, they couldn’t use any power and were being beaten by this young mage.

However, the fact that they might end up like Harenken earlier made them afraid.

“Don’t worry. Harenken ended up that way because he didn’t know curses had accumulated. I’ll remove all the curses first, then extract the bugs.”

“Th-thank you.”

The remnants momentarily exchanged cunning glances with each other.

If both the curses and bugs were completely removed, there would be nothing more to regret. They planned to immediately break through the back wall and escape.

However, the young mage they were dealing with was far more persistent than they thought.

“Senior? And you guys stop chattering and come here too.”

Catten and the friends came crowding over. Lee Han pointed at the remnants and said.

“Point your swords at them.”

“If they seem suspicious, I’ll cut them down immediately.”

Catten immediately understood what his junior wanted and nodded readily.

The anti-magic extremists hung their heads with blackened faces.

They thought he seemed careless, but he had already anticipated everything…

“Good. I’ll extract them.”

Crack!

A bursting sound similar to what came from Harenken erupted from their souls. The remnants trembled and then stiffened.

At the same time, several bugs gathered into Lee Han’s grasp and clumped together into one.

The bug tried to escape as if trying to resist, but there were limits in front of Lee Han who had already stolen the evil god’s power. It was directly stripped of control and submitted.

‘Done.’

And right at that moment, the bug opened its mouth and cried out ominously.

Who are you?

“!”

Everyone present was surprised. Among them, Lee Han was the first to react.

“Then who are you? Are you a minion of an evil god?”

You ignorant mortals may call us that.

The other party responded calmly despite the provocation.

At that sight, Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘A formidable opponent.’

Originally, among enemies, those who didn’t act emotionally and always behaved the same way were the most frightening.

Especially evil worshippers had madness overflowing from their every action, yet this one was so detached.

I don’t recall forming any grudges with you mages recently, yet you attack first like this. I suppose you’re not afraid of future consequences.

“No memory of forming grudges? What kind of…”

Lee Han was dumbfounded.

Just this year alone, weren’t they the ones who committed terrorism by summoning monsters from the Undead Realm?

However, Giselle lightly kicked her friend’s heel.

“?”

‘Get it together. That was when you were Stedal Nago.’

At the whisper, Lee Han realized his mistake.

Come to think of it, he had fought under the identity of Stedal Nago back then.

“Such a cunning bastard. Trying to figure out my identity with simple words.”

‘I don’t think that was the intention?’

Giselle was puzzled, but Lee Han had already reached his conclusion.

“Don’t pull such pathetic tricks. You’re the one who should worry about consequences.”

Hahaha… Quite spirited, aren’t you, mage. Have you perhaps heard that a plague is spreading through the city?

The Immortal mocked the mage.

Whatever means they used to capture the Authority Bug, by now the plague should already be spreading on its own.

Even without more bugs, the infected citizens would spread the plague among themselves.

“…”

“…”

Lee Han and his friends exchanged glances with complicated expressions.

They thought about telling him they had treated the plague first before capturing the bug, but then thought why show such kindness to someone like this.

“I don’t care if a disaster greater than the plague comes.”

Indeed. That’s befitting of a mage. So there are some among mages who aren’t weak. But remember this. The great regenerator’s plan cannot be interfered with by you mortals. You’ll only be marked! I’ll definitely remember what you did today.

“Do as you please. I’ll also remember since you bastards interfered with me today.”

The plague isn’t interference. That’s evolution. For imperfect lives…

“I’m talking about the Sainguiros Sect, not the plague.”

Lee Han replied curtly.

In the past, he might have flinched at an evil worshipper’s threats, but lately he just got annoyed first.

These bastards hiding in darkness pulling pathetic tricks – why are their tongues so long?

Seinguiros?

The Bishop of the Prahgal Order was flustered by the unexpected name.

Considering that no ordinary turmoil could shake this fanatic, it was truly unexpected.

Why does their name come up here?

“I was chasing those bastards when your gang got caught wandering around.”

…

The Immortal was completely speechless from the humiliation he hadn’t felt in a long time.

The Immortal remained detached from any provocation, but this…!

You’re lying. Such lies won’t…

“Whether it’s a lie or not, check for yourself. If you don’t want to be subjugated in the future, don’t show yourself before my eyes.”

Lee Han, no longer wanting to exchange words with his opponent, annihilated the Authority Bug.

* * *

…!

The complete annihilation of the Authority Bug could be felt even from another dimension.

This was like a projection made by finely splitting and dividing the Immortal’s soul, so when it was destroyed, the impact returned immediately.

The Immortal groaned from the unexpected blow. He had taken a hit.

This can’t be…

He knew the opponent mage had extracted the bug, but he thought that was only through magical means.

But now it was clear the opponent was controlling the authority. Didn’t he annihilate the bug immediately without giving any chance to react or counterattack?

Even considerably skilled mages couldn’t steal divine magic authorities, so what kind of person was this?

‘Could the Seinguiros story be… No. It must be provocation.’

The Immortal felt himself wavering.

Knowing the information that Seinguiros remnants had been rampaging fearlessly lately made him waver even more.

The already ripened plan wouldn’t be ruined by just this, but if problems arose, how should he retaliate against these remnants?
