I Became the Dark Wizard Who Rules Over the Heroines

46 – Leaf-15

“Damn, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night…”

Embarrassed, Conrad woke up in the middle of the night and hurriedly got dressed.

It is a calling signal. Signs she had only heard about, but had never received in person.

“Did you get caught? There’s no way…”

Conrad knew how secretly they exchanged news and what loopholes they could exploit to bribe the minimum security and breach the academy’s security.

“You handled the job well…”

He was a little horrified when he heard that he was killing people, but it wasn’t something he couldn’t do.

Among the people who followed him, there were some who he thought were useless.

People who are boring, uninteresting, too loyal, cause useless things, and are greedy.

If he could gain the trust of the organization by throwing away one or two such losers, it was a profitable business for Conrad. He is a businessman who will remain for a long time.

‘I never thought Fabian would do something like that…’

Anyway, things were going smoothly. It had to be that way.

Calling him at dawn should never have happened.

“…Huh?”

The vacant lot that was supposed to be the meeting place was empty.

“Come out! I’m not joking, if you called someone, wait for them first or-“

Although there were many of his subordinates, there was not a single person who said that Conrad was connected to ‘that organization.’

Conrad, who had abandoned the men he always brought with him, felt anxious as if he were left alone in the pitch-black darkness.

“You came?”

And then, several people appeared from the darkness.

“…”

Conrad closed his mouth. It’s ominous. What he knew was not happening.

Black demonic energy was covering their faces like masks.

‘If the magic power is this strong, surely someone will notice?’

Conrad also knew. The members of ‘that organization’ were quite diverse, and there was even a warlock within it.

It didn’t matter. In fact, he didn’t really hate the ‘warlock itself’ that much.

It was not surprising that there was a being whom he could always believe to be inferior to him without any doubt, a being whom he could harass for legitimate and justifiable reasons.

However, the risk of detection was a little different. Not many people will notice this magic right away, but after a few hours, more and more people will feel a sense of discomfort.

No matter how close the distance is, it is so powerful that even Conrad, who is not a warlock, can feel it.

“Why are there so many people? I know you don’t normally go around in droves… Besides, is this your first time seeing me?”

Conrad exercised his best self-control and spoke to the mysterious man in front of him.

His status was not high enough to be exploited, but considering what the organization did, there could have been many members with a higher status than him.

“Yes. I came to check the plan.”

The low voice is filled with demonic energy.

“…Aren’t you taking it a bit too far, no, aren’t you?”

Conrad’s expression distorted.

“You did everything you were told to do. Just like I told you, I turned that bastard Fabian into a murderer… And I used drugs as much as I could through my connections to avoid getting caught. What else should I do?”

His little patience disappeared too easily.

“I thought there would be a more serious problem. Checking the plan? What? You called someone in early in the morning and checked the plan? sh*t, you’ve already done it! What are you checking on the plan that’s already been completed?”

“…Are you sure you sent someone to Fabian?”

“Yes, I sent you. Just like you said, I sent you to die! No, you weren’t at this academy? You probably knew what was going on!”

After thinking that far, Conrad shouted as if he had realized something.

“Are you… by any chance, a member of an organization outside the academy?”

What if an executive in a position so high that he couldn’t even imagine visited the academy in person after hearing that the plan was in progress?

It was definitely unpleasant to have a lack of sense of time and to press the call signal arbitrarily, but maybe the man in front of me was the one who could crush Conrad with just one finger.

“No… I’ve heard enough of the story. I think it’s time to give me the right punishment.”

“Disposal… You mean?”

Conrad was momentarily filled with fear, but he soon remembered that he had not done anything wrong.

Disposal is not necessarily a word with a negative connotation. Maybe the man was trying to reward Conrad for successfully completing the task.

“What is the disposition?”

“Pain.”

“Yes?”

At that moment, the magic covering his face was removed.

Wade. The warlock who defeated Katharine was standing before his eyes.

“Are you a member of Kazot? Well, I thought so, but… What does pain mean?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Huh?”

“Now that the confession is over, it means you can feel some pain.”

Conrad felt a suffocating sensation. The materialized demon energy mixes with the air.

“Huh, huh…”

Even if you breathe, oxygen does not enter the lungs. It feels like my throat, nose, lungs, and entire respiratory tract are all clogged with sticky, black oil.

“Thank you for the confession.”

Wade took a step back and gave her seat to someone else.

“Well, I’m glad the confession ended quickly. Did you prepare hard on the way?”

“…Okay.”

Olivia was clenching her fists.

/////

She felt inferior. Olivia was feeling something from the warlock that she had never felt before in her life.

After finding the dark organization, he proudly eliminates its members without any hesitation.

There is no doubt about its power, and its steps are more confident than anyone else’s.

It didn’t seem like he had built up that much trust, but there were people who followed him anyway.

‘What is this…’

Olivia was able to realize once again how foolish and cowardly she had been.

He already knew. He was getting ready.

She was acting without hesitation, confident that she could wipe them out at any time if she decided to move.

‘…I couldn’t have done anything.’

Even seeing this right next to her was something she wouldn’t have been able to achieve if she wasn’t ‘Fabian’s relative.’

‘Behemoth? Because he couldn’t save Claire, he had no choice but to become a dark priest? ‘Having someone like this next to me?’

When I think about it now, what she was criticized for was nothing more than an absurd misunderstanding. The princess did not know his power.

‘…Still.’

No, maybe I didn’t believe it.

Olivia deceived the princess. When I think about it again, that was an absurd level of ‘weakness.’

If she really cared about the princess, if she really cared about honor, then she should have gone out with the princess to rescue him.

What she did wasn’t the best choice. It was just a cowardly and weak deception that suited her character.

That man didn’t try to hide anything.

Even to Olivia, who had just joined his group, he did not hide what he was doing, what he was moving for, and who he was trying to defeat.

It was absolute strength. It was a confidence that flowed from the absolute power he had, from the confidence that even if someone betrayed him or spread his plan, he could not be stopped.

‘There’s no way someone like me deserves recognition…’

The desire still wanted to burn. I wanted to be recognized. She wanted to do what he did instead.

However, there were limits to her power.

Even though it was said that black magic could easily and quickly turn a person into a strong person, I was not convinced that I could surpass that person in exchange for a certain amount of desire.

How did he gain this power? He may have brought down a small country on the border, or he may have committed an unspeakable, horrendous crime.

But Olivia could be sure that he was confident at every moment.

“Okay, Olivia. You’re next.”

“What… do you mean?”

Olivia, lost in her thoughts, trembled at the sound of his voice calling her.

“We have secured evidence, but evidence obtained from one person may not be reliable enough.”

“So?”

“First, we will secure a confession. If we hide our identities appropriately, Conrad will expose the ‘plan’ he carried out.”

“Plan…”

It was hard to believe, but Olivia couldn’t help but nod her head when she saw ‘Cazott’s Letter’ that came out of the old man’s room right away.

“And, next is you.”

“Why?”

“You can beat Kazot. You fight and win. Because that’s more impressive.”

“A picture… A picture?”

“He said he was a relative.”

When Olivia thought that far, she had no choice but to cover her mouth without realizing it.

“…Are you planning to film that scene with the magic tool you brought?”

“Of course.”

It is a kind of heroization. If you inject the right narrative and story, people will talk about this story for a longer time.

To save Fabian, who was wrongfully accused of being a murderer, his distant relative ‘Knight Olivia’ moved for justice.

“This is…”

This is a tremendous achievement. If she were her, it would be a feat she would not yield to anyone.

If only she had that, everyone would acknowledge her. She wouldn’t be kicked out of the academy, and she might be able to join a decent order when she graduated.

“Yes, do it.”

And Wade casually passed it on to Olivia.

As if she wasn’t bothered by that recognition.
