I could not see his exact level or stats because that mental wizard posing as a shield was not a member of my party.

However, at this point, my dungeon experience was roughly felt.

I scoffed as I looked up at the shield’s turn in a struggle.

“I guess Countess Nerus lent you a mental wizard. It seems that Fabian trusts you very much.”

“Your mouth is still vivid, so I don’t think it’s brainwashing… Is her magic defense stat low? Even though she’s a support wizard, I’m a little nervous because she’s over 60 levels.”

The shield, no, the mental wizard, still held his head and clicked his tongue quietly at me, who was only suffering.

Whether he remembered exactly my stats in the first round, Fabian firmly dismissed the anxiety of the shield.

“I know her stats better than anyone else. Mental magic is not affected by artifacts.”

“That’s right, but… If it doesn’t work out, only the Countess and I will be able to catch the candy, won’t we?”

The shield shrugged.

He pretended to be calm, but Fabian also urged him as if he was nervous about the shield’s words.

“Just in case, one more time.”

“It’s useless.”

This was enough. I stood up and muttered quietly.

“I’m not who you know anymore.”

The brainwashing magic had long since been used. All the pretense of suffering was merely an act.

Fabian frowned between his eyebrows that I had not been brainwashed and snickered involuntarily. He seemed to think I was doing my best to resist.

“Bluffing. Levels are effort, but stats are human talents. It doesn’t change even if you die.”

“But when I looked back in time, it changed a bit.”

I replied jokingly.

There was no way that Fabian did not know that this was the second round and that stat points had taken over to some extent… Perhaps he was just saying that to beat me to the punch.

At most, a support type wizard, if stats were taken over.

Fabian responded sharply, cutting back sarcastically.

“You don’t think I would have considered that? It should also be within the scope of consideration.”

“Well… I don’t think so.”

I shrugged. I was sorry to see him being so stubborn about not deviating from his own expectations.

How did someone who at one time I had no doubt was the hero of this world become like this?

In every way I saw him now, he was a despicable scoundrel, nothing more, nothing less.

I felt a sense of turbulence that I was the trigger for that.

I spoke plainly.

“Then, as you said, try brainwashing magic one more time.”

“Damn it… Brainwash one more time!”

“…「Shackles of the Mind」!”

The mental wizard clenched his teeth and tried the magic again.

But no matter how many times he tried, it was meaningless. It was no use if he couldn’t break through my magic defense in the first place.

“One more time!”

I also understood Fabian’s reluctance to be so sure about my stats.

In fact, if it was my magic defense stat, I would have been brainwashed already even if I was considering the added stats as it became the second round.

But the reason why the brainwashing didn’t work…

It was because I, who had a vague grasp of the existence of mental wizards, ate the dragon’s pearl and put the stats on it just in case.

‘But I really didn’t know he’d bring a mental wizard. It was worth eating with tears in my eyes.’

Fabian did not even know the existence of the dragon’s pearl. So there would be no place to guess at all, and it was a set step to be so confused.

It was within some expected range that he chose me, not Jeanne.

Among those in a position that could cause confusion within the Black Knights Group, I had the lowest stats.

‘Even the direct physical attackers, Robur and Nova, have higher stats than I do. They wouldn’t have thought about Jeanne.’

The more prepared I was for all of this, the more I stared into his inner thoughts, the more I honestly moved as Fabian intended, to round him up.

Dealing with Fabian was rather easy. The problem was Countess Nerus.

To minimize her influence, we had to take on a weakness that she could not get out of.

It was that mental wizard that bloomed in my eyes at that time.

Because of the precedent set by Wipera, I recognized immediately that he was a wizard with blinders on in other job groups.

And even if Countess Nerus had not joined hands with Fabian from the beginning, she would have held his hand but would not have given him a mere gifted person as a shield.

I never knew the experience with Wipera’s could be so useful. It was so much more than I had experienced in my life and I felt like there was nothing bad about it.

“It’s a big sin to cover up a mental wizard…The relationship between that wizard and Countess Nerus will come out when dug up…”

At my words, the mental wizard came out pale and looked alternately at Fabian. It seemed that there was indeed much to worry about.

“The good days for both you and Countess Nerus are already over. You didn’t have a good time in your life, right? I’m sorry.”

“…Don’t be arrogant. I tried to brainwash you because I thought you might be helpful. If it only interferes, then…”

Fabian drew his sword as he said this. His injured left arm appeared to be free as if the injury had healed over the past year.

Looking at the blue-black sword blade, I suppressed the thought, “Will you stab me too?” with the sword that had pierced April. It was too soon to explode here.

And… Fabian was not the only one who had finished his business.

The presence of a mental wizard was also revealed, and the time was extended long enough… I realized that the time had come, and I said with a laugh.

“Do you think I really came here alone?”

“…!”

As soon as he couldn’t speak, Fabian stared at my stepmother and father.

My stepmother and father shook their heads desperately with faces covered with tears and runny noses.

“No! I am sure she came alone. There was no sign at all that she was even aware of her surroundings! Please believe me!”

“That’s right, Fabian. She didn’t have time to do anything. There was no one chasing her.”

One of Fabian’s flock interjected.

He seems to be the one he put on watch after my stepmother and father…

I see. There must have been a lot of uncertainty in entrusting everything to them, as ordinary people, because they could change their minds or make mistakes.

“It’s a trick to take time. Things went wrong, so let’s take care of things quickly. There’s nothing good about dragging it out.”

The mental wizard urged Fabian as if anxious. He deserved to be nervous because his identity was revealed.

I added as if it were a pity.

“It’s too late.”

At that moment, a gust of wind came from somewhere. The eyebrows of Fabian’s gang furrowed at once in the calm weather.

“All of a sudden, the wind…”

“「Blade of the Wind」!”

Nice timing, a cheerful starting word came from the sky. Soon, a gust of wind attacked people like a sharp whip.

“Gasp!”

“W-Wind magic!”

All the eyes of those who were torn by the wind headed to the sky.

A little boy, Sevi, was looking down at us from the sky, fluttering his green hair. People pointed their fingers at Sevi and shouted.

“The Spirit of the Wind!”

“Ah, I don’t want to be treated like a real spirit.”

Sevi stepped into the air from the sky, hopping and grumbling. Then he shouted somewhere.

“I found the Vice Commander!”

As soon as his words fell, a scream was heard from the alleyway we walked in.

“Damn, what power is this….!”

“Keuak!”

“Get out!”

With a loud shout, people who were blocking the narrow alley flew in the air one by one.

Those who flew from the sky in such a way fell to the ground one after another as if hail was falling and vomited blood.

It was Julieta who appeared among the dark alley dripping with blood.

Her eyes sparkling in the darkness and her mace that knew no mercy were enough to scare Fabian’s gang around me.

Out in the clearing, Julietta swung her mace wide and said gracefully among Fabian’s gang.

“I’m here to pick you up, Vice Commander.”

“Good timing.”

I chuckled. The scorpion strike I used was to attack Fabian’s group, but from the beginning, it was a signal to call in the Black Knights.

Nova would have told the story well, and it would not be long before Sevi would find me in the capital.

So I had plenty of time to spare like this.

“Damn it, come here!”

“Keut!”

Fabian, who was late to grasp the situation, quickly grabbed me.

He was going to use me as a hostage to get out of this place, but it was… meaningless.

At the moment Fabian grabbed my hand and pulled me with him, something huge fell next to us.

Boom!

It was as if a meteorite had fallen and caved in a crater. The earth was shaking and there was a cloud of dust.

Then, a black knight raised his body from among it.

His golden eyes, full of chaos, were so bright that they could not be concealed even through the dust. His eyes, tinged with madness, blazed like the scorching sun.

“How dare you try to hurt Jun?”

A deep anger as if it were ringing from the bottom of a deep canyon.

Meyer was the embodiment of a berserker itself.
