Chapter 38 - The end of a man who never learns.

Why? How? Schneider was confused.

Why? How? How did this guy find out about this so fast?

“Hi…”

When he was waiting for an assassination report in his room, it was the black man who appeared. Something thin and rectangular was floating, and the elite troop of the Hafen family that he had sent could be seen talking in the woods.

“I also added a recording function to the barrier for defense.”

This is what the man is showing Schneider after he said something unintelligible.

(What is this…?)

There are multiple ways to say this, such as “far-sightedness” and “clairvoyance,” but there is magic that allows us to see distant places. However, this is an area that cannot be realized by “humans.” It is said that only some of the demons with special attributes can use it, or that the flow of ancient magic is involved.

(Is this man a demon?)

Although a glimpse of a man’s identity can be seen, it is still not definitive. It has been about 17 years since the Demon King died. He didn’t understand the meaning of the demon race talking about ‘justice’ in the royal capital. They couldn’t move from the neck down. They couldn’t even writhe, as if they were trapped in stone.

(Anyway, now I have to buy myself some time.)

The elite force is still alive and well… If they finished their work and come back here, they have a chance of winning. After all, they’re the most elite of the elite, trained to defeat the Lightning Princess. The elite unit captain has finished explaining the operation.(In the recording)

“Is this what you ordered?”

“Oh, no! I’m not! I don’t know these guys… Guuuuu…”

The right leg was tightly tightened. The video changed, and chats between the members was played.

“Here, who is the “Bochan” of the “Hafen family”? Do you have an older brother or younger brother?”

(bochan= son of lord/master)

“That is…”

Schneider clicked his tongue inwardly. He was angry at his troop for speaking out of turn.

“More importantly? Will Hart Zemphis and others be killed if they continue?”

If this happens, there is no choice but to hit this man with the elite unit. If they are ambushed by a man who controls strange magic, there will be some damage, however, they should be able to eliminate the man.

“Hmm? I told you right, when I showed you the replay. They’re all captured.”

“… eh?”

“So, what you just saw happened a while ago. I took those guys down before they got here.”

“It’s stupid! Each person is above level 25, and the entire team is comparable to Lightning Princess. What can you do alone?”

“Oh, you’re so familiar. After all, you were the one who sent them.”

“Uh…”

“Well, they were at a high level. However, they were so enthusiastic about hunting that they didn’t notice it at all. The game was on the moment I arrived. After that I played a little.”

I couldn’t believe it. They are the elite of the elite. They are the most qualified professionals. They must have put up multiple layers of barriers to make sure that no one will come near them without missing them. It’s hard to believe that they didn’t pay attention.

(What should I do…)

He doesn’t believe that a single man annihilated an elite unit. So, he was buying time. Until they come back.

“And what about that? You’re the mastermind, right?”

He can’t think of a story to connect. Schneider reopened his mouth.

“Yeah, it was me. I ordered it. So, what’s the matter? A nobleman’s pride is shattered. Does he not deserve it?”

His right leg is crushed.

(LOL boi)

“Wow, it wasn’t right… I won’t do it anymore. Please relax.”

“Forgive you? Did you not try to kill them without letting them beg?”

“Can we make a deal? Don’t you want to?　The troop will be withdrawn. If we can hurry the messenger now, we might be able to save Hart Zenphis and his friends.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter now. You are next.”

“What?”

Schneider only moved his head and looked around. He looked back with his eyes fully opened and checked everything in sight, but no one was there.

“Are you going to kill me…?”

Whether the man is lying or not, he can’t make it anyway.

“Hmm, if I kill you, they’ll be suspicious of me, right?”

It reminded him of the daytime banter. Hart and the others knew that the man had cast a strange spell on this body. However, they didn’t seem to know who the man was either. Other than them, even the existence of this man should hardly be recognized. Rather than being suspected of being killed, the first thing to do is–

“Hart Zenphis…”

He is the one who most recently got himself into trouble.

“Oh, awesome.You noticed”

The man responded strangely to Schneider’s tweet.

“My voice is deceiving, but I guess the way I talk to you is going to give me away. It seems that when I get mad, I revert back to my true color. I need to be thorough in my acting.”

The man put his hand on the slippery black helm. Hesitantly, he removed it.

“Uhhh…”

“Good answer. I’m Hart Zenphis.”

There was a man who shouldn’t be there.

“Stupid… You were certainly with a black guy in the daytime…”

“That’s like my alter ego… What? Why are you so surprised? Eh, did you not find out?”

Hart has dark black hair.

“I don’t care if you have a problem with it or not. But, why did my name come out?”

“Wow, in the sense that if you kill me, Hart Zenphis will be suspected…”

“Yeah, that one. I said it that way earlier, too. So, I’m thinking about measures.”

Hart cast the black helm on the floor and began to look in the scattered room. He looked at the paper on the desk. It was a handwritten document by Schneider.

“In short, all I have to do is the same thing.”

A piece of paper suddenly appeared in Hart’s hand. He came up to Schneider and held it up.

“…’I’m going on a journey. Don’t look for me?’ ”

It’s exactly the same as his handwriting. He never showed any signs of writing though…

“You can cover up a lot of things by disappearing them, right?”

“Hahahahaha… Do you think that such a shallow idea can be applied?”

“You’re the one who was thinking that? Well, there’s no proof of me coming here. You were back in this mansion. I’m sleeping in Professor Tia’s lab. Suspiciousness toward me will go round and round”

Hart flipped the paper and pointed.

“Look down”

He lowered his gaze fearfully to meet the fluttering paper.

“Huh!?”

His lower body was gone.

“Just a bit lifted….. Only a few millimeters in the vertical and horizontal directions.”

“What……”

What is he saying? He doesn’t understand anything.

“This place is unrecognizable from three-dimensional space, you know. You won’t be missed with all your friends, will you? Well, I don’t know if we’ll ever see each other, and I don’t know if those guys are still alive.”

“please stop……”

Hart brought his face closer to him, who is confused and in tears.

“Did you not try to kill me? If so, then prepare to be killed.”

Hart moved away. He lifted one hand. The remaining upper body gradually disappeared from the waist,

“I’m sorry–”

Schneider has disappeared from this world.
