This Time, To The Believed Path
Ambush

Leana immediately approached Lorei who was lying limp on the floor full of symbols.

His current condition was like he was being sacrificed for something.

"Lorei, hang on."

Leana took out a magic potion and gave it to Lorei. Not long after, his pale skin returned in color. It doesn't seem to be too late.

"Soveils. Please take Lorei back to Alphiella."

"Good mistress. I'll be right back."

One of the Alphiella shadows carried Lorei's body and used teleportation magic to return to the Alphiella mansion.

Leana turned her gaze to the flaming symbol on the floor. Candles that should be yellowish have a lavender purple color that looks mystical.

He had not noticed before due to focusing too much on Lorei but he could feel the aura of 'death' in the room.

This was a feeling he had not felt since the great war.

"Mrs LEANA!"

Hearing the exclamation from Dean through the telepathy he immediately turned to his side.

CLANG

At once Forde was standing before him blocking something that attacked him.

The shadows of Alphiella and Volfelance move to attack their attackers but he immediately dodges and keeps his distance.

Forde glanced at him and confirmed Leana's condition.

"Leana, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Leana touched her communication device. He can't connect with Dean.

He stood behind the Forde and looked at the figure of their enemy.

Looking at his Osca-like appearance, the man must have been the shadow of Duke Leon.

There was only one man and he was against the seven in front of him. He seems to be very confident in his abilities.

Leana secretly glanced at Eclipse and sure enough, she put up an expreai upset at being humbled. I don't know why he expected it.

"Oh, O uninvited guest. This is a room you cannot enter. This place can only be accessed by a Duke Gwertivare." he said in a scornful tone.

"..."

Leana remembered Osca when she saw his enemy's current attitude. He began to wonder if every shadow in the residence of Duke Gwertivare had such an attitude.

With their current state, they could have come out with a bit of a fight but at the same time they could not be rash.

'What to do?'

They have not achieved the goal sought and the option to abort the mission will have a say in the future.

It means they have no choice but to move forward.

Silently, Eclipse raised his hand and towards the enemy then quickly the shadow of Volfelance moved swiftly against him.

The enemy managed to stop the attacks from the two shadows easily just by

From his movements alone had already confirmed his conjecture. Their enemies are of the same level as Osca.

But with the shadow of Volfelance beside him, they should be able to take down their enemies.

"Etris, Zwein, take her somewhere else."

"Ready master!"

The two Volfelance shadows again attacked their enemy and with cooperation they finally captured him then sent him elsewhere by teleportation.

Eclipse turned towards Leana and Forde.

"In this way, the bully is already on top. Let's continue the investigation." he said with ease.

Although it did not match the events they had just experienced, Eclipse easily melted the tense atmosphere.

Leana then called out to Telsia as before and pointed out the room.

"real right. This is the cause of the magic labyrinth anomaly."

He pointed to one of the magic circles.

"This writing is not from this world, as well as some other magic circles. Not just one but from several different worlds." explained Telsia.

"How could Duke Gwertivare know a language from another world?"

"I suspect that someone has helped him."

Telsia opened Cordelia and read something that was written there. He took a breath and closed the book.

"And it seems like looking for that 'someone' is our next destination."

Telsia flicked her hand slowly and slowly her figure faded away like smoke.

"I hope you all will succeed in achieving your goals this time" said Telsia then disappeared.

Leana looked at her shadow.

"Qulip, please take a picture of this room in detail. Let nothing be missed."

"Give it to my mistress" she replied and went to work immediately.

"Master Eclipse, if you need proof then there's a thing that's suitable for that."

"If you ask a witch to identify it, all the evidence should be found here."

"so yeah. I'll remember it. Is there anything else needed as proof?"

"of course. This room has a secret place that can connect with Duke Gwertivare's safe."

Leana danced a book from the closet and then an open voice sounded not far from her.

He picked up some books blocking the secret place and opened the door. He opened the safe with the code he remembered and handed over some documents to Eclipse.

"This safe contains an important document containing all his plans."

Eclipse who looked word for word in the document smiled.

"Ha! Finally the crime can be revealed."

Leana stared at the strange Eclipse who laughed sinisterly staring at the document in her hand.

Recalling Dean who exclaimed to him earlier, he immediately contacted him.

"Dean! You okay?"

For a while there was still no answer from him but then he could hear a soft voice sounding in his ear.

"We're fine, madam. There was an attack but we won."

"Haa... Thank goodness then. I was shocked when I heard your screams."

"I'm sorry. Because of this sudden attack, I became panicked and unintentionally exclaimed out of concern for your condition."

"No need to apologize. As you exclaimed, there was also an attack here. Good thing Forde's taking care of me."

"Honest...And ma'am, we didn't find Lorei here."

"Ah, regarding Lorei, we've found her here so you don't have to worry."

Leana could hear a sigh of relief from Dean and she could only smile at the thought of their reaction.

"I understand. Then we'll be hanging out with you soon." then their connection is cut off.

"Mrs Leana."

Leana turned her head towards Eclipse who was already standing at the door.

"Illiam's group has managed to capture Duke Gwertivare. We'll gather in the Duke's study."

They walked to Duke's office. When he arrived, he was surprised.

There they saw how Duke Leon was tied up in the middle of the room in a crowded condition.

Leana was stunned to see that pitiful figure of Duke Leon. The man who had used it had now been caught and knelt down just like himself in his previous life.He felt as if the burden on his shoulders was lifted.

In the room was also the shadow of Duke Gwertivare who had been uprooted by the shadow of Volfelance.

One... Two...

Leana counted the number of fallen shadow members. As he expected, the shadow of Duke Gwertivare had a small amount but had a non-playful power.

Looking back, there he still had not found any members of the Alphiella shadow.

Duke Leon stared intently at them and he gritted his teeth.

"How dare you! I am Duke Gwevare! You can't just act like this!"

"Hhhh!"

Eclipse also grunted. He walked closer to Duke Leon and looked at him from above as if he was looking down on him.

The smile he had previously shown before seemed to be an illusion. What was painted on his face right now was only a cold expression that could kill someone.

"Just calm down, Duke. I've got the official letter needed to arrest you."

"I didn't do anything to get this kind of humiliation!"

Eclipse took out a document from his jacket and showed it to Duke Leon who turned pale.

He waved the document like a fan.

"This is proof of all your crimes. I'll show it to the Emperor and dismantle your rotten plan."

"..." - ".Duke Leon gritted his teeth.

If the evidence is not in the hands of Eclipse, he will certainly ward off any accusations leveled against him.

But because the evidence had fallen in the hands of the Gramd Duke Volfelance, he could not reason or speak.

With the Duke silent, Eclipse declared.

"Duke Leon Gwertivare! I hereby declare that you are arrested for attempting to bring down and threaten peace in the Solfilyan empire."

Leana breathed a sigh of relief. Forde grabbed Leana's shoulder and patted her gently.

"Are you okay, Leana?" ask Forde with worry.

"I'm fine, maybe just a little tired."

"Stay by my side. We'll get this thing done soon."

Leana simply nodded in response to Forde's words and approached him.

The furious Duke Leon was immediately taken away by the shadow of Volfelance to be immediately secured.

With the capture of Duke Leon, their mission this time has been completed.
