Chapter 113

Deborah’s sudden disappearance literally turned Seymour upside down in turmoil.


As soon as the news of her disappearance and the details of the incident came,  Duke Seymour was shocked enough to stagger, then ordered all the knights in the house to gather.


“Find Deborah right now. Regardless of the means and methods, by tomorrow morning, before the sun rises, unconditionally.”


“I can never turn a blind eye to Montes who harms the direct line of Seymour.”


Rosad stepped forward while bracing up for the battle. This issue had justification and is also a matter of Seymour’s pride.


“Father. Since this incident was caused by the ancient artifact, I will start investigating myself.”


“I will lend all the manpower that you want.”


Belreck formed an investigation team and visited the site again.


His expression stiffened coldly.


Even though they weren’t in a good sibling relationship, he felt offended when someone else touched his sister.


Family love has disappeared for a long time after learning that he and his brother had to trample on each other before their childhood was even over, so it was a strange feeling.


‘Because Deborah is an outstanding artifact designer…….. And I like a competent person.’


“Sir Belreck. I see traces of space distortion.”


He felt a subtle feeling before coming back to his senses and examined the surroundings closely.


‘I think the artifact connected to the subspace was overflowing.’


The more he investigated the scene of the incident, the more he realized that it was an even more serious situation.


This is because the distortion field was already closed over time, and the artifact, which was only key to the subspace, could not even be spotted in sight.


'How long can Deborah last? There’s a high possibility that Montes’ heirloom is connected to the spirit world.’


Fortunately, Isidor was also caught up in the circumstances.


‘She must have threatened Isidor well in order for him to help her escape the crisis.’


In the midst of Belreck worrying in mixed feelings, which was unlike him, Enrique also realized the atmosphere in the house was unusual.


“Sister, where are you?”


Enrique bit his lips enough to get wrinkles on his chin and held his tears desperately.


“Young master, calm down. The Duke will surely solve the situation……”


“Say it!”


Enrique, who found out the situation by inquisitively asking the servants, was anxious while searching through the library.


Seymour fully mobilized his abilities to find Deborah while pressuring the Montes family.


“Drag Philaf out of Montes right now. When my daughter returns, I will make him kneel first.”


Duke Seymours was determined to grab Philaf by any means.


It was revealed right away that Philaf was the culprit of this disappearance, thanks to the unique waves from the broken ancient artifact and various testimonies.


Currently, Philaf was detained in a dungeon within the family’s house.


Philaf was first discovered by the Montes’ men after he secretly stole the heirloom, and took him by a close call before the Seymours.


“Philaf. Do you know what you just did?”


As soon as Duke Montes appeared with a haggard face, the restrained Philaf suddenly stood up.


He was shocked by the fact that Isidor was a Magic Swordsman and was completely unaware of how serious the situation that was happening outside.


"Father! Please listen to me first.”


“What did you do so well to raise your head so brazenly? I can’t tolerate your stupid face anymore.”


Seymour threatened that there would be a war if he didn’t find a way for them to get out of the subspace before the sun rises.


Visconti, who’s always quiet, was also unusual for not making any move.


“I was just trying to have a talk with Deborah. Strictly speaking, it was Isidor’s fault for ruining the artifact.”


“Stop talking nonsense! Who the hell would take the heirloom to have a talk?”


Duke Montes allowed Philaf to approach the heirloom so that Philaf would train harder during probation, but he never thought Philaf would use it for the strange purpose.


“I wanted to show the strength of Montes to Deborah who rejected the marriage proposal…..”


“Philaf. You made the two families of the founding empire into our enemy and lost the tie between those families.  The biggest enemy is inside….”


“….”


“That ancient artifact is worth more than your life. Do you know that?!”


“I am the only successor, how can you say that!”


Duke Montes grinded his teeth.


That artifact was the only thing that could increase the power of the spirit.


Since the birth of spirits, a lower, middle and upper class was determined and the time they could be in the human world was limited.


Because of that, it was impossible to extend the contracted spirit.


However, when the Montes bloodline used the heirloom, which is the embodiment of the spirit world, it could even make the same class spirit superior to the spirit of other spiritualists.


That was the real reason why they were called the Montes of Spirit.


‘Out of all things, that thing!’


The long-standing family was shaken from the roots because of the only son who was raised like a kid. 



* * *



“Let’s try it. Getting to know each other.”


”…Yeah.“


Isidor smiled gently and muttered slightly while looking at me with his deep jade eyes.


“It’s so like you for some reason.”


’'Huh?”


“I think that side of yours is more attractive.”


“Why, why do you suddenly say that?”


“… You said that you want to know more.”


Suddenly, I had a thought that this might somehow turn into a dangerous situation.


“Hmm.”


“You are also cute when you are shy sometimes. I thought that you were angry at first.”


“Stop, stop it!”


“Alright.”


He beamed softly and I thought that he was as sly as a fox.


“First, firstly we have to get out of here. It’s not the time to be doing this right now. My father will be worried.”


I quickly threw my gaze somewhere else as my face kept burning.


Although there’s only water all over the place when I turned around.


“… Didn’t you say it before? That it’s fine to drink that water because this place is the embodiment of the spirit world.”


“Yes. In the past, I heard that the Montes family only had a closed training practice and I am convinced that this is the training center.”


“Hm.”


'Since the holy spirit is also half a spirit, wouldn’t there be some reaction in space if Purple comes out?’


I brought out Purple which was in the form of tattoo on my arms at the sudden thought.


Purple, who was hiding in the shell, slowly raised his head and gazed up at me with moist eyes.


‘Why are you looking at me so passionately as if you are seeing a magic stone?’


It also seemed to look moved?


'Aha. I get it.’


I think it was because I protected Purple from Philaf’s high-ranking spirit.


“You are also popular with the holy spirit…. I have to be on my guard when we get out of here. Because there are not only one or two annoying things.”


Isidor muttered something weird and I spoke after contemplating.


“Purple, try to attack that water.”


Purple, who nodded with a determined expression, exuded a white energy, and suddenly the blue slate under the floor shone, and water columns began to rise from all sides.


"Damn.”


As expected, this space responds to the power of the spirits.


However, I was amazed while feeling dark because my reckless spirit of experimentation seemed to have aggravated the situation.


This was because Isidor suddenly embraced me tightly.


I almost closed my eyes unintentionally as I could feel his hot breath and body warmth behind my back.


‘I’m going crazy.’


Isidor happened to recite the magic casting with a low voice in my ears and the water column, that was flooding violently, bounced outside by the shield magic created by Isidor.


“As expected, this slab played a core part of this space. Thanks to you, I am more convinced.”


He grinned as he tapped the shining blue slab with his feet.


“Deborah, do you like to watch a play?”


In the midst of whirlpools in all directions, he asked a question out of the blue.


“…..Why?”


Suddenly, rough waves approached us as if it would swallow us. I bite my lips tightly and he hugged me tightly in his arms as if to comfort me, who was scared.


“I’ll keep it in mind to choose our next date spot.”


“Isidor. This isn’t our first date spot, and I should think first about whether it’s a play or the opera after we can get out of here.”


“Play, opera… It would be nice to watch both.” 


“..Does that mean we can get out of here soon?”


“Yes. I am confident.”


Isidor spoke in a peculiar relaxed voice.


“That child also just completed the defense wall.”


Isidor pointed to Purple.


Like a turtle with a shell that protects the body, Purple had the ability to hit the shield.


The hexagonal defense wall resembling a lamp-shaped pattern was wrapped around the slab.


'It’s my holy spirit, but I didn’t know it is so capable.’’


Isidor spoke while I was in admiration. 


“Maybe, that child. Might have become stronger while being in this space. This is a unique place filled with the power of nature.”


The defensive wall made by Purple was blocking the attack of water pouring from all directions quite well.


Isidor, who confirmed that it was safe, slowly released me out of his arms and took out his sword.


Clang! Clang!


Then he began to stab the slab with his sword relentlessly.


”……..“


“Hm. I have to stab harder.”


As soon as he summoned his aura, golden energy shot up from the long sword that was bright enough to hurt the eyes.


His golden-like hair fluttered around.


As soon as the aura released by Isidor gradually increased, I felt like a small sun was in front of me.


Like the sun, I felt a sense of distant energy that could not predict the end, so even the sensation of awe was stiff.


'The Visconti of Gold….”


Suddenly, I had a feeling that the word ‘gold’ does not simply symbolize a gold mine or a lot of money.


The Sereig family alone had quite a lot of money and this world nobles don’t value cowards that much.


'Then, what does the gold symbolize?’


When I was in suspicion, the slab that was stabbed by the sword began to crack and the space also began to split apart like a broken mirror.


A huge mana storm occurred just like the first time we came here,


'I feel dizzy.’


“Please be patient for a while.”


I shut my eyes tightly in Isidor’s hot and big embrace.


Hoping that I will see a familiar view when I open my eyes again.
