The Capital's Evil Spirit

"Although it is almost impossible, but your plan can increase your sister's chances of survival. But besides that, I can confirm that we will all die before we even reach their castle... Can't you see the fact that even my best members died easily while protecting them?" your sister, what about an ordinary detective like you?!" Mr. Marcus narrowed his eyes and glared at Calvin, he looked annoyed.

Calvin took a step back when he saw the expression of Mr. Marcus who looked like he wanted to kill someone after hearing his complaint.

The heavy conversation between the two adults made Eliza continue to stare at the two of them with a frightened look.

In contrast to Eliza who was scared, Elvira was annoyed to see a fight that they shouldn't have in a precarious situation like now. "Enough! Can you guys cooperate?! Not only do you want to save Olive but we all want her to survive. But acting rashly in conditions we don't know about is not a good plan."

"Huff, I'm sorry I let loose a bit. It's not that I want to let a royal princess die just like that, after all this is my duty. It's just that ordinary humans like you have absolutely no idea how powerful the Evil Spirits that have gathered in the Capital City are." Mr Marcus sighed and explained why he was so against going to the Capital.

"I'm also sorry, I completely forgot that this matter is beyond the capabilities of a detective. I really equate this Evil Spirit problem with a case I usually handle." The military clad man lowered his head and admitted his guilt for almost making the wrong decision.

"Ugh, why does the atmosphere feel so heavy!?" After venting her anger, suddenly the air around her felt heavy. Her head suddenly felt dizzy and it was difficult to balance her body. Luckily Eliza was near her and was able to catch her before she fell.

"This pressure? Damn, how did I not notice they were coming here?!" Seeing Elvira limp for no reason made Mr Marcus realize that a strong Evil Spirit had targeted them.

"We have to get out of here right away!" Eliza panicked when she saw Elvira become helpless in an instant. She intended to take her friend out of the mansion because she thought the mansion was haunted.

"Stop! We're surrounded." Mr. Marcus immediately reached out his hand to stop Eliza's steps because their only way out had been blocked by the Evil Spirit who had a murderous aura.

Calvin's and Eliza's senses couldn't feel the pressure of the spiritual energy emitted by the Evil Spirit in front of them. But the two of them can see the human form wearing that noble's uniform

"Why are you guys so panicked, he is my father!" Calvin immediately denied Mr. Marcus' words, because from his sight he only saw his father standing in the hallway. Because he had something to say to his father, he immediately walked over to him.

"Back! He is an Evil Spirit!" Mr. Marcus was surprised to learn that the Evil Spirit that was blocking them could be seen by commoners like Calvin. Only Evil Spirits with high spiritual energy could take on human form.

"Father, according to Mr Marcus, Olive is not dead! And she is now in the capital." Ignoring the sorcerer's warning, Calvin continued on his way, recounting his findings. He tried to explain without making his father even more worried.

"Princess's heart, I want the princess's heart to resurrect my master!" But the answer that came out of his father's mouth was not what he expected.

"Father, what do you mean by saying... Guh!" Calvin, who was confused, immediately asked his father. But before he could get his answer, his father suddenly closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

*Stab

"Aaah!!" Eliza's loud scream immediately echoed in the room when she saw a sharp, katana-like object had pierced Calvin's chest.

"Shit, I forgot to put up the barrier outside! Ladies, please hide under that table." Mr Marcus is truly sorry for not taking this case seriously. Before rescuing Calvin, he gives orders to the two girls behind his.

"Isn't that Mr. Joel? How come his hand can turn into a katana?!" Putting her friend's hand on her shoulder, Eliza wept in fear and followed the Sorcerer Chief's orders.

"Sorry, I didn't expect things to get this serious." With a low voice, Elvira felt guilty when she saw her friend's face that looked very scared and trembling.

"No need to apologize, I know they must be after you." After leaning the black-haired girl under the table, Eliza sat in front of her and hugged her tightly. Even though she couldn't see where the Evil Spirit was, Eliza wanted to hide Elvira from the Evil Spirit.

Elvira smiled slightly and didn't expect that her friend would really sincerely help her.

After the 2 girls were in a safe place, Mr. Marcus pulled a folding fan from his pocket and pointed it at the two girls. "Paper Spirit, Shield Shield!"

Three white fiery balls appeared from Mr Marcus' side and flew toward the two girls to form a triangular formation that connected to each other and created a spiritual white shield.

After casting a protective spell, Mr. Marcus turned and looked at Calvin who was lying covered in blood.

"I had no idea that the mastermind of the murders here actually performed such a neat opera. Is that so, Head of the Ragny Family?" Pulling a folding fan from his pocket, Mr. Marcus immediately pointed it at a man with bloodied hands in front of him.

"I sense that another royal princess is here. Get rid of the intruder! Get rid of the intruder!" The Evil Spirit's red eyes scanned the entire room looking for the presence of the royal princess he felt.

"Is that so... Don't underestimate me like that, I'll finish this quickly and help you go to the afterlife!" Mr. Marcus glanced at Elvira for a moment before preparing to fight.

"Die!" The Evil Spirit who took the form of Joel Ragny immediately shot to attack Mr. Marcus.
