Shouldn’t you go to prison at least once before you die? (17)

“Your Majesty.”

The Saint called out, but the Emperor didn’t even respond. He just stared sadly into my eyes through the iron bars. I felt strange.

“I’ll come back.”

Leaving a bland word, the Emperor moved away and disappeared beyond the darkness. The Saint wandered for a while because the Emperor briskly turned around without asking her to go. She soon grabbed her clothes and walked away towards the Emperor with quick steps.

“Ha…… !”

“Why didn’t you answer?”

Chenin sank to the floor.

“… There’s something I haven’t told you.”

“Calm down! We’re all going to die like this!”

Baaaamm-

A building collapsed without an explosion. Tired of even freaking out now, Evan knew that the collapsed building was so expensive that he would not be able to buy a single door even if he worked for the rest of his life. He also knew that this was the fifth building. He was afraid that later he would give up even counting.

“Merson!”

He shouted the name, but Merson, whose eyes were darkened, couldn’t hear Evan’s words.

Evan wanted to cry. It was the first time he had missed Erina’s existence so much, and it was the first time he knew that Merson was such a terribly frightening person. No, he thought of Merson as a monster that he couldn’t handle.

When Erina, who went out to find Chenin, did not return after a long time, Merson became extremely anxious. His glittering eyes darkened deeply, and an unapproachable aura radiated out around him.

It was a completely different Merson from the Merson Evan knew. He was afraid and nervous even to say a word.

Evan was also worried about Erina and Chenin, but Merson’s presence was so great that even that was forgotten. Rather, Evan has gone to the point of seeking out Erina to calm Merson.

“Merson!”

Another building collapsed. Those are County Abitz’s annex.

When Erina did not return, Merson headed straight to County Abitz. He opened the way by ruthlessly tearing apart the soldiers who stood in his way. The soldiers exploded to death as if their flesh and bones were separated, or their limbs fell off, as if a bomb had been planted in their bodies. Seeing that, Evan had to regurgitate all the delicious dishes he ate in the morning.

Merson was an outlaw, no one could touch him. Merson, who became the object of fear, stormed into the building without hesitation.

After inspecting the entire interior, if Erina was not there, the building was demolished. So does the next building and the building after that. Screams of terror rang out from everywhere, but Merson was focused on finding Erina without blinking an eye.

“Huhk- please spare me!”

“Where is Erina?”

“I’ll find out later somehow. Please spare me..….”

The attendant, who begged so hard that his hands reached his feet, could not finish his words and had to see his intestines bursting out.

There was no later for Merson. Right now, he had to have Erina in front of him.

Some trick happened and the location tracking magic he had cast on Erina didn’t activate at all, and Erina didn’t show up even though he was making such a huge mess. Merson could not hide his anxiety at this fact.

He was afraid that Erina was in a dangerous situation.

He was afraid that Erina might have abandoned him.

HIs blood runs cold all over his body. His murderous intent was seething, and anger grew out of control.

Don’t keep Erina away from me.

First of all, he decided to slaughter County Abitz, who had a high possibility of harming Erina. Since it was a family with many nerve-wracking things, he decided to trample them cruelly. Afraid that Erina will be surprised, he had been suppressing it. But now the suppressed anger came out.

“… Merson, these people are innocent… hiccup.”

The corpses of the servants formed a path. Shocked, Evan tried to stop Merson, but when he saw Merson covered in blood, he shut his mouth.

Merson, whose entire body was dyed red, was reigning in the form of the Demon King, with eyes that were even more red than ever.

Shall I kill you?

He thought so for a second when he saw Evan talking loudly. However, he is one of Erina’s people, so he cannot treat Evan carelessly. Because Merson doesn’t like being hated by Erina.

With the intent to kill, Merson left again to find Erina.

Evan, who had been standing there blankly, took backward steps and ran away. Emotions such as fear, horror, and screams were swirling around.

When the disgusting smell of blood did not go away, he grabbed a random doorknob and went inside.

“Haa. Haa…… !”

The image of Merson from earlier kept coming back to him. Evan was shivering in place for a while.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously to shake the image off. What he could see through his tingling eyes was a gold-framed portrait. It was a man with a chubby figure, severely beautified features, various jewelry rings on each finger, and an ugly beard.

“Count Abitz.”

Why did he end up coming to this place? Evan, who had been grumbling, was about to grab the doorknob again, when a terrible scream came again from outside.

“… It is better here.”

Count Abitz, for some reason, did not show a strand of his hair even though the mansion was going through a catastrophe. Evan thought he was going to die from getting his neck ripped off by Merson, but at least he got lucky.

As befits a famous Count’s room, there was no place that didn’t look expensive. It didn’t feel very old-fashioned, but it was the pinnacle of splendor. Like a palace in an ancient country that was decorated.

He didn’t know when this building would collapse, so he couldn’t relax and enjoy it. He tried to forget his fears with useless thoughts such as how much the room would cost by eyeballing the estimate.

But even in this money-smelling room, there was one thing that stood out.

“It looks like it really wanted to be opened.”

It’s a safe. With all kinds of valuables strewn everywhere, Evan was curious to see how much more valuable things were stored in the safe. He shook the safe’s door once, knowing it wouldn’t open.
