Chapter 549 – 44. The Empire of Dezac – The Darkness Falls on the Mage Tower (15)

The first thing that came to Natalie’s eyes when she came to her senses was a dark space.

“…”

Memories from before I passed out came back quickly.

Hearing rumors that Adolf is aiming for Valdez.

Escorting him to the forest owned by the academy.

And even being attacked.

Even thinking about it now, the situation is full of absurdities.

‘It’s enough to commit an irrational number.’

I couldn’t quite understand it.

I knew that Adolf hated Valdez.

But was that really enough to make me want to kill him even if it was too much?

I felt that Adolf was especially driven by emotions among magicians, but this time was very strange. Maybe there was something behind him that fueled his anger and jealousy around him.

Of course, this part was her mistake.

Adolf is much more rotten and trashy than Natalie thinks.

It’s just that she has some hopes for him.

However, there was an element that amplified Natalie’s suspicions in its own way.

‘Especially this poison.’

Natalie struggled to move her hands and feet.

However, the sensation in the extremities of her limbs was strange.

This means that the effects of the poison have not yet been removed from the body.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but it’s absurd when you think about your own state.

Poison that reached this far to the master of the magic tower, the great mage of the world.

‘Where the hell did you get something like this?’

It was impossible to know at all.

“…”

A bitter, heavy feeling weighing down your entire body.

“Huuuuu…

As she let out her sigh, she let out a moan involuntarily.

“Huh, ha ha…♡”

Naturally, Natalie’s eyebrows furrowed.

Just as the poison’s paralyzing effect did not go away, so did the aphrodisiac effect.

In fact, her Valdes had carved her vaginal magic separately while she was fainting, but she had no way of knowing that fact. She just blamed the poison for the gentle pleasure rising from her belly.

“Really… It’s awful…”

Natalie checked her own body first.

Her entire body, including her limbs, tingles, but is not bound.

At least, it means that he was not captured by Adolf’s remnants or those behind him.

It’s just that it’s uncomfortable to move, but it’s the same.

‘Under. Mana doesn’t even move at all.’

The condition inside the body was more serious.

It was because he used too much magic before he lost consciousness.

For a moment, Adolf’s sinister expression passed through her head.

Just thinking about it makes her body tremble.

A look I’ve never seen before.

Her mind quickly went berserk.

‘Dead… I wonder.’

Natalie, who gathered her mana one last time before losing her mind, and let her thunderbolt drop.

It was a high-level magic that even the Master couldn’t easily block, and it was a sudden blow that he didn’t even prepare to defend. The back alleys are natural, and even Adolf couldn’t guarantee life or death.

So Natalie’s mind was more complicated.

Adolf’s death bothered him, but he had no regrets about using magic.

‘To be honest…’

The mage who had reached the state shuddered.

It was scary.

Powerful poison spread rapidly through his body.

Being a teenager was the first thing that happened after becoming a master at a young age.

Being unable to move mana and not being able to use magic properly.

In such a state, the sly face that Adolf was making was not very different from her unknown death to her. It was a direct and alien fear that was a terrible threat to his existence.

‘Haha. I really loved that child, Adolf, but… In the end, no matter what, I put myself first.’

He probably wouldn’t have died even if Adolf did something to him.

There is a high probability that chastity will be violated, and anything beyond that will be at best a threat based on him.

Even so, Natalie boldly used magic without the slightest hesitation.

A thunderbolt that would be hard to live in was dropped on Adolf unless there was luck.

“Huuuuu♡”

Natalie frowned.

Just how effective is this guy’s paralysis and aphrodisiac?

“…Ah.”

It was shortly thereafter that her accident struck Valdez.

‘What happened to that child?’

The memory of her, which she had briefly put away in a corner of her head, quickly filled up.

What happened to Valdes?

Obviously he was hurt.

Three or four holes were pierced through his chest and stomach by Adolf’s magic.

Fortunately, it wasn’t fatal, but since he lost a lot of blood, it wouldn’t be strange if it led to trouble. Moreover, isn’t it a state that has been neglected for at least a few hours in that state? It is obvious that there was no treatment.

“Bar, Valdes…

Natalie looked around, shaking her head with difficulty.

Now, you can see the environment around you.

‘Where are you… ?’

At first, I thought the poison was causing problems with my eyesight, but that wasn’t the case, the space itself was dark.

As if you were in a cave or hollow.

She must have been in the woods before she passed out.

There are several caves in the forest of the academy, so maybe Valdez brought him here.

Or maybe there were other factors.

Both of her predictions were roughly correct.

“Oh, Natalie.”

“…!!”

At the sound of her voice coming from behind her, Natalie tried to get her body up, but she fell.

Her startled Valdés would have hurt her to the ground had she not rushed over and received her.

“It’s cool.”

“Oops. Be careful.”

“Thank you.”

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she avoids her gaze from the young man who hugged her.

Suddenly, he saw the herb in his hand.

“This…”

“I picked it up from over there. Fortunately, it’s a bit small.”

Natalie quickly caught the oddity in Valdez’s words.

“Did you pick it up?”

“Ah… You just woke up.”

“…?”

Instead of answering, Valdez raised his finger and pointed up at him.

However, Natalie, who is still paralyzed, is unable to raise his head on his own, and he manages to look upwards with the help of Valdez. There, instead of the blue sky, I saw cramped stones and rocks.

And even the faint light that can be seen through the gap.

“Ah…”

Even beings who have risen to the highest level cannot see in pitch-black darkness.

“We fell underground.”

The only thing I could see around me casually was a little bit of light.

“Yes that’s right.”

“…Sorry.”

Natalie apologized.

Knowing why, Valdez shook his head.

“No. I’m really sorry. You got into trouble because of me.”

“Yeah. It’s the opposite. It’s you who got caught up in it. Adolf and the falling underground.”

“Haha. It’s useless to argue here, so I’ll do it like that.”

“Whoops, yes.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Valdez first laid Natalie carefully on the floor.

A thin sheet of mattress was laid on it, so it was somehow better than the bare floor.

“Yeah… Oops, hoo…♡”

Natalie, sobbing low at Valdez’s touch, let out a sigh.

“Yeah, haha. I never thought I’d regret something like this…”

“Yes?”

“I’m ashamed to say this, but… I thought I was good at using magic.”

“…”

“But the floor collapsed and fell here because the power was too much. I couldn’t even think of it. And there… I’m sorry… Rather than the life of a child I cherished, uh, I’m going to regret the fall into the basement…”

Natalie was sincere.

Originally, wizards are selfish beings ninety-five out of a hundred.

Like all knights and those who use magical powers, wizards are particularly severe.

Pursuing a higher realm, immersing yourself recklessly in order to realize the truth and law of self-exploration. Then he thinks only of himself. And at some point, it gets corrupted very easily.

The Mage Tower has tried to prevent such things with systems and rules.

However, the owner of the magic tower actually felt his own selfishness.

Natalie, who considered herself a wizard who walked the right path, was very ashamed.

Was he, after all, just a selfish wizard himself?

At that moment, Valdes’ hand was placed on her forehead.

“…Valdes?”

“You’re tired. Take a deep breath.”

“…That can’t be the case. Until just now, it’s been a long time… I slept.”

“That’s not sleeping, it’s fainting. The poison hasn’t gone away yet.”

“…”

“Once there are herbs, I’ll make a good medicine for paralysis, but I don’t know how effective it will be.”

“Huh…”

“So, how about a good sleep or a sigh that is said to be good for all diseases?”

“…Thank you.”

“Thank you. I really appreciate it. Really.”

‘Sincerely.’

Natalie’s eyes gradually closed as if she had relaxed.

Valdez smirked as he escaped her gaze.

Just looking at his expression, it was a sinister smile comparable to that of a drugged Adolf.

All plans are progressing step by step and have reached the very edge of success.

A few unexpected circumstances came up, but none of them mattered.

‘I never thought there would be a place like this underground, but it’s not bad. In the end, it’s the same as being locked up alone. The medicine worked just fine. It will probably take a few days to come find it.’

At the end, I was a little taken aback by Natalie’s thunderbolt magic and underground communal work, but in the end it didn’t matter. Adolf, whom she thought was dead, was safely taken away as per the plan.

‘Well, she’ll never see Natalie again, so she’s dead to her.’

Anyway, Natalie’s magic burned part of the forest and the ground collapsed.

With everyone else in her unconscious, Valdez took her and hid her safely inside her.

In between, there are many suspicious parts, but Natalie was not in a state where she could think normally. And the situation where she is leaning on and relying on him. Of course, I don’t know what will happen as time goes on.

“…Haa. Now, I can’t stand it anymore…♥”

“Natal, yup.”

“Peck it. Well, it’s juicy…♥”

She hugged her Valdes and kissed her, opening her eyes.

“Chuuuuu…”

She then pushed him and she climbed on top of Valdez.

‘I’m sorry. Don’t worry It’s all in the palm of my hand.’

“This favor, hayeot. I will definitely repay you… Ha, just a little bit… Lend me your body… ♥”

Valdez feigned hesitation before giving a small nod of his head.
