Chapter 145 – Episode 145 First Meeting With the Transcendent of Absorption.

“By the way, what are you going to do with the dueling event?”

I knew that rumors had spread throughout the capital.
Every time I walked around the city, it was full of stories.

Now, their question is one.
What sport will they compete in?
All eyes were focused on the unprecedented situation.

“Now is the time to decide.”
“I know.”

“You decide.”

Fair fight.
Although not all 100 pros can have equal conditions.
At least.
I was thinking of releasing an event that could narrow the gap they had.

“Fence. You will fight without any use of mana.”
“… Are you conscious of the Emperor? Or are you thinking of Lady Emir?”

The intent of Ronald’s question is this.
If they competed only with swordsmanship, they would think that those two would have the most advantage.
I shook my head.

“Rather, Ruclid would be the most disadvantaged.”

She has excellent swordsmanship, but her natural strength was better than that of Seria or Snow White.
Emir and Ruclid would fight with sophisticated swordsmanship.

“Is this a tournament?”
“No. All four of us will fight in one game.”
“It’s a single plate.”
“Okay.”
“All right. Let’s make it public.”

Ronald bowed his head and went outside.

“Whoa.”

The exhaled breath was heavy.

“How are you going?”

However, there was something more important than that.

“It’s already time to go to the imperial palace.”

The week I promised with the transcendent of absorption is already over.
A total of 3 visits.

That first one.
Previously.
You need to know your enemy.

“Sebastian.”
“Yes, Master.”
“The transcendent of absorption, I want to know about him.”
“Do you see him?”
“Okay.”

Sebastian’s face darkened.

“That is bad news.”
“What’s wrong?”
“You should know that the reason why the emperor went away was because of the author.”
“I’ve already experienced it.”

The panic and fear I felt every time I was next to him.
There was a clear feeling that just being still was gnawing away at the spirit.

“He is a writer who eats people’s reason and fills them with madness. In fact, it is the author’s fault that the fight between the Ascendants broke out and we became like this.”
“Is it?”
“It’s because of that that crazy emperors often come out of the imperial family. Everyone who sees that is crazy. All the emperors of the past lived only in that palace.”
“He said that he was born with the destiny of a ruler.”
“You’re right. The fate of the ruler, that is the condition to see the Transcendental One.”
“Why haven’t you seen it before?”
“Maybe… It must be because the Transcendentalist was already satisfied with Ruclid.”
“It seems that after Leuclid collapsed, the transcendent who lost his host appeared to me.”
“You’re right.”

Tsk.
It was a nuisance in many ways.

He said he was trying to get away from Ryuclid and parasitize on me.

“What is his purpose?”
“He’s getting himself out of the crack and looking for a tape measure. Since he has already lost his body his, he wants a body that will be fine even if he goes outside.”
“The purpose of transcendentalists is the same.”
“Because we have no freedom.”

Sebastian gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Have no freedom

“Did you see what happened to those who got free?”

What he’s talking about is the Lilith story.

“But Sebastian, you’re fine, aren’t you?”
“I, too, belong to the master, so that’s why.”

His promise to serve the Dmitri family in the future.

For the rest of his life his, serving the Dmitri family was the reason he was sane.

“Funny. Being a transcendent is.”
“Isn’t it okay to destroy the imperial palace? Or changing the location of the imperial palace is another way.”
“Change the imperial palace.”

It was virtually impossible to change the location of the imperial palace in the face of turning Ryuclid into emperor.
Well, it crossed my mind that one of the two might be possible.

“Anyway, it is an entity that must be defeated. If this guy is still alive, he will continue to cause trouble in the future.”
“You were trying to get rid of it.”
“Okay.”
“What are you doing? Could it be that you made a bet with him?”
“Okay. Just like I did with Sebastian.”

He also told me he would be making 3 visits.
Sebastian’s face darkened every time he heard that.

“Huh. 3 times. That’s not good.”
“What are my chances of surviving?”
“Less than 10 percent.”
“10% is very low. I set it higher than that.”
“You must have a strong mind.”
“Hmm, any other advice? Is it his weakness?”
“I don’t remember. He was a writer who used unknown techniques such as bewitching the opponent.”

Sebastian trembled at him.
He seemed terrified just thinking about it.

“Then why did he get the nickname of being a transcendental absorber? There is also a release, right?”
“That’s probably … It must be because of his abilities his. If Lilith simply absorbs the opponent’s virility. He is known to absorb all of his opponent’s sanity her.”
“The opposite sex?”
“Yes, by absorbing his reason his and turning him into a monster driven only by his desires and instincts his. It destroys life as a human being, as an intelligence.”
“Absorbing intelligence?”
“You’re right. And breaking it. The human itself. To mess with him and make it your own.”
“Fun.”

Scared at the same time
I got goosebumps.

Can I defeat that gigantic transcendental that breaks reason?

I do not know.
It will take a lot of preparation.

The first meeting will tell me how to prepare for him.

“Be careful. Stay tight so that you can come to your senses at any time.”
“I get it.”

I nodded and got up from my seat.

“It is time.”
“When you return, I will meet you with Lilith.”
“Why?”
“She will be able to tell if her master she has changed or not.”
“Then, see you later.”
“Please be careful.”

I left behind Sebastian, who was seeing me off, and headed for the imperial palace.

***

-You’re here.

The Transcendentalist grew up.

-You came just in time. You thought it was a machine. Are you sure you’re not human?

I grew up once again.

“You have to respect the time.”
-Is it really necessary? After all, the efficiency of work is not about keeping time, but how much you know about the work. Do you really need to be on time?

He said flying around me.

“It is a basic promise. How can we discuss things without observing them?”
-Ah, don’t be too hard. If the guys who keep time are also incompetent, they will eventually be useless, right?

The guy who finished talking sighed again.

“It sounds useless.”
– Well, okay. I didn’t come here to talk about that. You don’t know how happy I am. There are no people in a place like this, and of course there are people. It’s just that no one sees me. Well, the only person I can talk to in such a place has come, and I can’t spend time talking about boring things like this.

The Transcendentalist pulled out a chair.

“Do you have physical strength?”
– Well, sometimes. Only in front of those who can see my presence. If you don’t, you’ll be surprised that you’re a ghost. Is there no need to add a ghost story to the imperial palace?

I sat down on a chair.

– Oh, I heard the news. I heard the young ladies got into a fight after arguing with you? If it’s Ryuclid, he’s the emperor I know, right?
“Okay.”
– That’s great. To turn that stubbornness into your woman at once. Acknowledge only that ability.
“Is that all you want to say?”
– Oh, that’s not it. I want to ask you something.
“What?”
– Why do you have to fight? Aren’t they all girls who like you? If it’s girls who like you anyway, and you don’t hate them either… Wouldn’t it be enough if you had it all?

The Transcendentalist circled the air.

“Sounds funny. The Empire has laws.”
– There is a law. Well, where is the country without it? However, it does not mean that you do not live with all of them. Look at me They say not to have concubines and not to have an affair, but who protects the empire? You did too. She spent the night with her unmarried wives and even…

The Transcendental One pierced my belly and came out on my back.
He whispered in my ear in a low voice.

– She even made me pregnant.

Sigh.
The guy laughed

– Isn’t it funny that a guy like that talks about the laws of the empire? Not even one? The other is Lilith’s daughter… I think it’s great. For a human to impregnate a half-transcendent child at once. What the hell did she do that made her give everything to you?
“Hand over everything? What do you mean?”
– Oh, didn’t you know? What does it mean when a succubus carries a child?

I saw the guy
He cleared his throat earnestly, clearing his voice.

-When a succubus bears a child, it is a declaration that he will not consume the spirit of any man other than you. It’s some kind of oath. That is to say, if you abandon her, she is her life her to die without a trace. Because I can’t eat anything.
“What?”

I hadn’t even heard of that.
Content that was nowhere in Lilith’s study.
Was there anything like that?

– Don’t even know. Because a succubus had never had a human child.
“But Lilith tried to eat another man’s spirit.”
-That’s stupid. Do you think that bitch had Seria herself? And did you forget that you possessed Seria’s body in order to embrace you?

Was it?
Lilith wanted Seria’s body her?
Was it for her freedom and survival at the same time?

I do not know.
My head was jumbled by information I didn’t know.

– Tsk tsk, that’s why you need a good teacher. Anyone who can give me the proper knowledge.

The transcendent passed through my body and floated in the air again.

– Listen carefully. I’ll say it only once Your personality won’t let Seria win. There is a way though. Makes Leuclid win and takes Ceria as her concubine her. Even if she is a state secretary, she can have her own concubines.
“Concubine?”
-Okay. If she were to be her concubine her, she would have no reason not to spend the night with Seria, and if that were the case, she would not starve to death as well.
“There is a problem.”
-What?
“If I become the state secretary, I will have to stay with Ryuclid in the imperial palace. Or stay with Leuclide alone. Then nothing good will happen if you stay here.”
-Haha! Is that why your expression is so rotten?

The Transcendentalist who laughed coolly opened her mouth again.

-I have no intention of touching Ruclid anyway. And won’t it stop if you beat me? He said he’d try to get under you anyway? Then you won’t have to be afraid of me.

I shook my head.

“No. That’s not a consideration Because I wasn’t 100% sure that I would beat you.”
-I’m not sure… So what? Are you still anxious? Do you think you will lose to me?
“Unrest? There is no such thing as anxiety. However, it is still regarded as a mountain that you must overcome.”
-It’s like a wizard. The case is different from the emperors I have met so far.

The transcendentalist smiled broadly.

– I’m very satisfied. I mean, I met someone like this. What a fun friend. You.

Giggle
Laughter echoed through the palace.
It was a heart-rending laugh.
It was the moment when the infinitely light weight that I had felt just before changed in an instant.
The laughter was brief.
The pressure on my heart quickly disappeared.

– I am not a mountain to climb. I’m just a transcendent who wants to talk to you. Like Jane or Sebastian.
“The fundamentals are different. So don’t try to trick me.”
– Tsk

The guy sighed.

-Well, I didn’t think that the story would work at once.

It was then.

Beep-. Beep-. Beep-.

The bell rang.

– Gee, time’s up. 10 minutes passed.
“Is it ten minutes?”
-Okay. You didn’t make an appointment to meet for a few minutes, did you? The first meeting is short and unfortunate. Of course, next time we’ll meet a little longer.

The Transcendentalist turned off the clock that kept ringing.

“Nothing special.”
-I told you. I just want to have a conversation

The guy turned his palms up and shrugged his shoulders.

-I have no intention of fighting. So, don’t be too nervous.

There was no hostility in that smile.
It was strange.
That laugh
Also, there is no hostility.
Even the fact that you smile at me.

“Is this the end?”
-Yes, this is the end of today’s visit. You can go back won’t stop
“Then let’s go.”
-Okay. Bye.

The first visit ended without incident.

***

The Transcendentalist waved her hand at Maurice, who receded.

Thud!

The door closed, and Maurice left.

-Keukkkuk, kkukkkya,haha!

A frenzied laugh spread.
I couldn’t stand the laughter that leaked out.

-It looks like he prepared himself, but he’s young. Cluck cluck.

The corners of his mouth and eyes his twisted strangely.
It was a face that evoked fear in the beholder.

-Fun. Fun! Fun! You can’t compare to the emperors.

Look at Maurice’s innocent look at her as he questions her own words.
The moment she saw that figure, her desire her to eat her welled up from Danjeon.
She could have grabbed her head right away and sucked out his soul her, but she held back.

-Not yet.

Fruit tastes best when ripe.
He knew the time

There is nothing less fun than picking and eating unripe fruits.

Planted
Her first visit was his win her, as Maurice took her moment to believe her own words her, her doubts her.

Madness was nothing.
You just need to create a trigger.
Everyone in the world stands on a single line.
No matter how strong a person is or how long a person has lived, being on the line hasn’t changed.
Those who can’t stand properly on the line and fall fall into that endless madness and struggle.

You just have to push lightly.
Depravity is something to be aware of.
That occasion.
In that fleeting moment when Maurice believes her own words her and questions her.
Planted

– Kiki Kiki. It’s going to be so much fun. Already looking forward to next week.

The figure of Maurice, who gradually believes and follows her own words her as if they were true.

-How should I push?

What kind of image will Morris, who has fallen into madness, show?
Just imagining the arrogant human mage moving according to his words his made me feel like I had a body.

– Kkkk.
