Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 217

Episode 217. Weakness (1)

“Hmm, what would I do?”

I muttered to myself as I watched 'Angelica' freely wandering around the bookshelf in the office.

Since my trait, “Master of the Vessel,” and the piece of “Demonic Nature” that “Angelica” absorbed had a mutually attractive nature, I felt that this couldn’t go on.

'It's not like I know a specific method.'

Even for me, who is familiar with <Ji-Ma-Juk>, this current situation is unprecedented.

That would be the case.

'A demon with the power of the divine spirit exists.'

The only good thing is that the demon thinks of me as its 'master', but even so, the situation is still not what it used to be.

"hmm?"

Gulp, gurgle.

I see 'Angelica' wandering around me.

What is the purpose?

As I looked at the guy with such questions, I could see that many of his eyes were powerless.

“Are you hungry?”

Angelica blinked her eyes in agreement with my question.

'It's amazing that he understands this and that he understands what I'm saying.'

Leaving the strange feeling behind, I decided to think about how to relieve the hunger that 'Angelica' felt.

'Usually, it's solved by eating my mana.'

It is impossible to feed 'Mana' now. It has already left the body, and in the process of taking out 'Angelica', all the mana contained in the 'Mana Blood' has been emptied.

'I guess I should feed it something myself.'

Fortunately, 'Angelica' didn't just eat 'Mana'. She could consume food and generate Mana in the process.

The problem is more than that.

'I can't feel any mana in my body.'

Perhaps it is because the mana in 'Mana Blood' is completely empty.

In order to get Angelica out, he took the drastic measure of draining all of the mana from his body.

'Even if I try to get aura.'

It doesn't come out.

'This is a dangerous situation.'

When I was put in a situation where I couldn't use mana, I started to realize how much I had relied on 'mana' and 'aura' up until now.

Even when sensing the surroundings.

Even when going into battle.

Even when protecting your body.

Since I used 'Mana' in all situations, the empty space feels so big.

'hmm.'

But, I am the one who has survived danger many times in this world.

The heart and mind that were shaking like a reed can now be easily set right.

'What should I do!?'

Will it be there?

'If you can't use mana, use the moonlight sword!'

I felt a sense of embarrassment beginning to boil up from my danjeon.

'You mean you didn't even notice the surprise attack?'

I began to count in my mind how many surprise attacks there had been so far.

There were a lot.

Of course, it would be the case that he would not even think about defeating 'Yurien' head-on, right?

'It's fortunate that the matter regarding the Yeomyeonghoe has been resolved.'

Yulian has many enemies. No matter how many good deeds you try to cover it up, it is an inescapable fact.

'How long do I have to wait for my body to recover?'

I began to focus my mind on my danjeon.

'crazy.'

Why is this guy's mana blood so big?

Indeed, compared to other unique auras, the Moonlight Sword is a technique that consumes a huge amount of mana.

If we have to compare, while other 'Auras' tend to add an appropriate amount of 'consumption', this one opens the faucet and pours it out.

That is why it also has tremendous cutting power.

'I guess I'll need to rest for about two days before I can use the Moonlight Sword.'

Gulp.

Once again, Angelica approaches and squirms rudely.

He doesn't cling to your body and act cute like he usually does.

When I touch him, he seems to sense that I feel pain. That's why he is cautious in all his actions.

“Are you worried?”

Did you even understand my worries because I had no mana?

Is that a demon too?

– Gulp.

As if denying it, 'Angelica' shook her body.

ah.

It wasn't that I sympathized.

'He asked for rice.'

***

When I asked the butler to bring food into the study, a cart containing a banquet was brought inside.

“Please wait.”

When I told 'Angelica' to wait while she was trying to eat food, she stopped wriggling.

After leaving the body, I checked to see if it would strictly follow my orders, and it still does.

“Please eat.”

Boom!

'Angelica' started eating the food in the cart.

'It seems like you're raising a dog.'

With that thought in mind, I simply picked up a piece of bread and put it in my mouth.

'We can't go on like this, we have to come up with a solution.'

It's okay if 'Mana' is empty, it will be resolved over time. The problem is 'Angelica'.

'hmm.'

There is no way, but there is a way to 'figure it out' somehow.

That's right, we get information from the sorcerers of the 'North' who are experts in the study of 'demons'.

Of course, it is difficult to find a 'sorcerer' in the system. At most, there is 'Abigail', a fortune teller and witch who acts leniently next to the emperor.

'I don't think she'll tell you.'

Besides, revealing that you are raising a 'demon' inside your body is tantamount to suicide.

There's no need to reveal my shortcomings to others.

'ah.'

One more.

There was a 'sorcerer' in this system.

Even, he was a sorcerer who had a close relationship with 'Yurien'.

'Milena.'

She is Yurian's mother.

Since she is no longer alive, I cannot ask her directly, but if Milena were a sorcerer, she would have done her own research.

'Not as much as back home, that is.'

He uses the 'Soul Stone' to save the young Yurian. If he was able to produce results like that, he must have done some research as a 'sorcerer' even after coming to the system.

'hmm.'

I was chewing on my bread, lost in thought.

The Craiph family's villa.

I had a feeling that there might be something where 'Milena' lived.

'I wonder if it's okay to go to the Cryphat family in this situation.'

It was strange to ask if it was okay to stop by the main house, but Yurian, who was a 'prason', could not help but be in danger.

The danger is doubled because you can't even use mana.

“Well, it’s better to move a little than to stay still.”

There was a big incident recently. In times like this, it's better to get moving than to just stay in your room and wait for recovery.

So that I don't have any useless thoughts, even just a little bit.

“Ugh.”

As I was chewing the bread, I felt a strange sensation in my mouth.

Judging by its taste and texture, it appears to be a fruit similar to raisins.

Putting things like this in bread is the same here too.

All places where people live are similar.

***

As soon as I arrived at the villa where Milena lived, I started looking around the interior.

After Milena died, the furniture and books were still arranged as if nothing had been touched.

Perhaps this place is like time has stopped since Milena died.

“……Is this the end?”

As I was reading all kinds of books there, I muttered to myself in disbelief.

There was no particular place inside the villa where one could conduct 'research'.

Although the suspicious library had many bookshelves, the books on them were all related to 'art'.

'Could it be that you read these books to your child as prenatal education?'

It was a part where I had an intuition about who the eccentric artistry came from.

“There really isn’t any.”

After searching through all the books, I sighed and muttered to myself.

Milena is a sorcerer.

She was a sorcerer with the title of Queen of Thorns. I was certain that she would have been consistently conducting research if she had such outstanding sorcery skills as a 'witch'.

Dalgrak!

The scabbard shook. To be exact, it was 'Angelica' inside that twisted her body.

“Please stay still.”

Angelica, who had kept it in its scabbard so that it wouldn't touch her body. When I touched it once, I felt its body continue to shake.

'Why are you doing this?'

At the moment when I was feeling such doubts, I felt a presence behind me.

'be near.'

Not too far away. Normally, I would have noticed it using 'Mana', but now, any action using Mana is completely impossible.

'… … is it the enemy?'

As I thought about it, a cold sweat began to run down my back.

It is absurd to create a unique aura, the 'Moonlight Sword', when you can't even 'detect' using mana.

I dare say that it is no exaggeration to say that his usual fighting power has been reduced to half.

'shit.'

I'll just stay home!

As I was regretting it like that, I felt the sound gradually coming closer.

“Every time I come here, it’s always cleaner. Even better than my hometown.”

“……That makes it sound like you don’t really care about my hometown, Ehark.”

“How did you know? Please pay attention to me, Oben… Hmm? The door to the library is open….”

Is it fortunate or not?

Although they are not in a state where they can use 'Mana', they are not opponents that you would want to fight.

“……Yurien?”

What we encountered in the villa's library was the old knight Ehark and the head of the Cryphat family he was protecting, Oben Cryphat.

widely!

I put the book down and started walking away.

This guy's hands are shaking again. Even though his father hates it, his body is moving on its own.

“What were you doing here?”

As I tried to quickly leave the room, Ehark blocked my way.

It was a natural reaction.

Since I am here after leaving my family, Ehark, the 'knight', must be in a position to be suspicious.

“Does Lord Ehark ask permission before entering his home?”

Then I will just give a natural reaction.

“……Your house?”

However, the one who showed the biggest reaction was Oben.

“Yes, it is your house. This is your house, Yurian.”

Oben looked kind of pleased. When I saw his face, I couldn't help but feel angry.

“Hey, how about having a meal together after a long time?”

The moment I was about to leave this place as soon as possible, Oben said that as if he wanted to stop me from walking.

“I’m sorry, but I’m looking for something.”

Of course I refused.

Now that he's separated from 'Angelica', he has to find a way to accept him from 'Milena'.

I would have refused even if there was nothing to do.

“Is it related to Milena?”

As if he had seen through my inner thoughts, Oben said the name 'Milena'.

I was upset that the name came out of the author's mouth, but that's not important right now.

"yes."

“I know.”

“You haven’t told me yet what you’re looking for, Lord Oben.”

“No, but I can understand. I know everything about Milena.”

Oben has a vague expression on his face.

Looking at that expression, I clicked my tongue inwardly.

Ah, if I hear what you say next, 'Yurien' will probably punch me.

“Because I loved you.”

puck!

As expected, Yurian's 'instinct' swung his fist.

I knew it!
