9th Circle Lord

81 #81화 Miracle Wizard

Late at night. Austin's mansion.

With the full moon thickly laid, Luther, who was lost in thought, wondered what direction he should go in the future.

For now, I had no intention of following the path of the devil to be a god.

He and himself were all different in the first place. 

For now, I was reluctant to follow the flower garden that someone had created without any effort, and above all, I had no intention of giving up the path of 10 circles.

You don't have to force yourself to copy. And there's a goal.'

There is still a long way to become a god.

'We're just on the starting line. There's no need to hurry.’

It was a goal one day, but Luther took a long breath.

There was no need to be impatient.

He relaxed and calmly thought about what he should do right away.

Luther's eyes deepened.

'Should I stay?'

There is a reason to stay in the human world. 

Ener. 

This spiritual ability was necessary to him as advised by the devil.

In order to expand the ener, communication with the existence is important in the end. To do so, trust is needed directly.

There comes a difficulty.

Communication requires practical interference, as previously done to children.

That means we should be bound to the human world.

Luther seemed to understand why the devil made a church and controlled the world by using his subordinates as gods.

The efficiency is lagging behind to expand the ener by interfering one by one.

That's why he spread religion by using an agent.

Luther agonized here.

"Shall I make a teaching group, too?’

There was nothing I couldn't do if I tried to.

The private sector still considers divine power a miracle.

It was not difficult to become a god if you make a religion after going through the idolization process by showing an omnipotent appearance.

It is both efficient and simple.

The moment I was worried, the children came to mind.

Luther shook his head as he recalled the gaze of trust toward him.

"Religion is a way of putting efficiency first after all.’

It is a one-sided communication method that is marked as false. Luther didn't want to go that far. 

He read and interacted with his opponent through Ener.

I didn't want to use pure good intentions for the purpose.

'Then there's only one way.’

They should be in a position to rule everyone with respect and trust.

'There must be a way to be king or emperor.’

If it is not religion, there is a way to become a monarch.

But this is also a problem.

"New power flows blood."

Luther knew the cause of the war better than anyone else, as he was close to it.

Most of them were new powers to break down existing powers.

He couldn't step on the blood again because he wanted to step out of the war.

Luther, who was in conflict, soon nodded.

"It's a good position to rule the people while maintaining the power of the right people.’

He thought there was one option after all.

a local lord

He has power, but depending on his ability, he can be in the same position as a king who can have many people.

'First of all, we start with local lord.o. And slowly increase the population.’

The more ether is, the more useful it is. Therefore, we plan to embrace as many people as possible.

To do that, you have to bring people in.

The strands are gradually getting caught.

However, the stumbling block was not one or two.

"The problem is religion. It's exactly the devil's men.’

He was able to sneak in and steal what he had built.

We need to make people fall in love with religion.’

You have to make them reject religion.

However, if you pursue Ener, you cannot force it.

'The best way is to enlighten.

What is the reason for looking for religion?

Because it causes miracles.

But what if you complete that miracle in a form other than religion?

Luther considered magic to be the best fit for the form.

Let's use magic to stop the flow of religion.

Determined, he jumped up from his seat. Now that we have made a decision, it is time to implement it.

Luther moved in search of evil spirits.

The evil spirit who was sleeping on the nose jumped up to his popularity.

"Captain? What are you doing at this hour?"

Luther kicked his tongue rather than pierced the evil spirit in his pajamas.

"You've adjusted completely. Naksanor's magic became human.”

"Hhh. I'll take it as a compliment."

"I have work to do."

"What is it?"

"I'll have to play Austin for a while."

The evil spirit was puzzled.

"What do you mean all of a sudden? Didn't you say you were leaving soon?"

"The plan has changed. For the time being, or maybe for a long time, I'll have to play Austin."The evil spirit questioned the changed plan.

"If you continue to act like Austin, you might join the war, do you want me to join it?”

"War doesn't happen."

The determined Luther murmured softly.

"I'll stop the war my way."

Luther, who conceived the plan, implemented his own scheme.

a late hour

Leaving the mansion alone, Luther headed straight to the palace.

The palace was huge.

On the wide plain, maze-like twisted structures were densely clustered.

The golden roof with moonlight was brilliant, and the people passing under it were full of day and night.

And most of them were bodyguards.

The best knights of the Empire were standing on guard at night and day, and the best wizards of the Empire spread out their magic lines to prevent entry.

Luther hid himself using the Invisible magic to enter the palace.

There was a powerful shield in the air. 

to artificially break a shieldThe liver alarm magic works.

Luther used a blink spell into the shield in an invisible state.

The place where he lightly passed through the protective shield was the residence of the emperor, the deepest part of the imperial palace.

The emperor's palace is night, day, and bright. Guard knights directly under the imperial family were watching everywhere with their eyes lit, and assassins hide in the dark and wait for the intruder.

Numerous eyes were likely to be discovered soon if they took over the exterior of the palace and appeared.

Luther, maintaining his invisibility, began to touch the demonpower rune that stretched out from the Magic Circle.

The modified rune language maintained a protective shield, but rather hid Luther's existence.

After digging through a fabricated rune, he entered the palace.

With numerous pillars standing tall, silence eroded.

Luther relied on his senses.

Intermittent groans came from somewhere.

As I headed there, a middle-aged man was mixing himself with a beautiful woman.

Luther knew the identity of a middle-aged man.

"Vasco III.’

He was the emperor of the present empire.

He waited for the Emperor to finish his speech.

The emperor, who had stopped gasping and lay down, ordered a tired face.

"Get me some water because I'm thirsty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The woman stepped down and the emperor remained alone.

Luther cast a sleeping spell on the emperor's body.

After a while, the blinking emperor fell asleep.

He did not remove the emperor.

'Annes won't stay still.’

The Basco Empire is the territory of Anes.

In that situation, touching the emperor who exerts the influence of the entire empire will provoke her anger.

I'm afraid I'll have to be a puppet.’

Vasco III was a man of no particular importance but to shed light on her beauty.

There was no particular emotion, but for his own purposes, he must have an abnormality in his personal life.

Luther began to carve a magic pearl on the emperor's body.

More than half of them were runes created by him.

Satisfied with the work, he recalled Anes' face.

'It won't be easy to fix.’

He used his own creative rune, so even Anes wouldn't think of a sharp number.

Luther put the engraved magic pearl into the emperor's body.

"Turn it off!

The dormant emperor groaned and began to sweat.

Luther took the distance away from him.

After a while, the emperor's secret escorts appeared. 

The secret guards watched the cold sweat coming from the emperor's body and were stunned.

"What!"

"Your Majesty is bleeding!" 

Black blood began to leak from the emperor's pores.

The captain of the guard said urgently.

"Hurry up and alert and bring the priest!"

Secret guards moved urgently.

Along with him, people moved busily, making noise everywhere.

Luther teleported the scene back to Austin's home for the last time.

The next morning.

The evil spirit found Luther.

His expression was strange.

"The capital is on alert. The Emperor is sick.”

"So?"

"Did the captain do it?"

"That's right."

The evil spirit questioned Luther's move.

"What's the reason?"

"When the time comes, I will find the Emperor. Back me up then."

"Support me? What are you talking about?"

"You'll know by then."

The evil spirit shrugged his shoulders when he shut his mouth at the end of the sentence.

"Well, let's do that for now. So is it now that you're looking for the Emperor?"

"Not now."

"Oh, my God. It's hard to get the rhythm right. Okay. I'll go to the palace, see you later."

The evil spirit returned and Luther found Kalua and Kiara.

"What's the matter?""I have something to tell you."

"What is it?"

Luther began with the dragon, met with the devil, and explained to the two about his changed plans.

The mouths of the two people who were listening opened.

"Oh, my God."

Kalua, who groaned, looked at Luther with wide eyes.

"How the hell did you meet them?”

"The opposite is the opposite. That's not what matters."

"Isn't that what matters?"

"Not right now. You guys have work to do. I'll make a rumor with Barcoz. There's a sorcerer hiding in the Forest of Sorrow in the southeast of the capital, who's good at healing."

"How come?"

"I put a curse on the Emperor. I'm the only one who can cure him.”

Kalua was full of energy and laughed in vain.

"What have you been doing without us knowing?”

Even Kiara couldn't shut up because she was dumbfounded.

"It happened somehow."

Luther laughed bitterly and revealed his plan.

"I'm going to set up a territory in the human world. I want you to help me."

"Is it a human world?"

"Yes."

"How come?"

"I have to embrace existence now. Human beings fall into that category."

"I don't know the details, but I understand for now. But please explain later slowly later."

"Sure."

The promised Luther got up from his seat.

"Now, it's time to move."

As long as you've done it, you're going to push it to the end.

Luther left Kallua and Kiara to do their chores and headed for the Forest of Sorrow.

Arriving in the Forest of Sorrow, Luther murmured as he looked at the vast forest.

"I can't help it if it bothers me."

If you make a justification, there should be a story. After weakening the emperor, he is saved by himself.

And I will persuade him to be granted the estate. There was a reason why Luther did it on purpose.

The first was Anes.

Permission is required to settle in her territory.

But she doesn't have a good feeling about herself.

Therefore, they had to take the emperor as a hostage and negotiate even by force.

The second was Ener.

The reputation of the wizard who saved the emperor was known to gain people's trust.

Luther intended to lay the groundwork for building Ener through him.
