Chapter 157: It Would Be a Waste Not to Experiment

I don’t know how she appeared here, but Ellis is right in front of me.

Seeing her, I’m both surprised and accepting of the fact that Ellis has shown up, thinking, “As expected.”

I had taken great care to ensure I wasn’t followed on my way back home. If she had been tracking me, there would have been no need for her to appear from an empty space.

She could have simply entered through the front door.

Of course, I informed the servants that Ellis was discarded, so she would be stopped at the gate. But Ellis is not the type to be deterred by such things.

Given Ellis’s nature, she must have used some form of magic to move instantly from the Empire to here, which makes sense.

Since Ellis said she wouldn’t do anything unless she was obstructed, I vigorously nodded in agreement before heading back to my room to collect my belongings.

Ellis’s Side

“What’s going on!?”

“Oh, you’re quite late, Butler Zes.”

“…Did you do this? Depending on your answer—gugya!?”

“Ah, I don’t want to bother with such exchanges. It’s clear that someone at Zes’s level cannot win against me now. My former family, including my former father and mother, couldn’t even destroy a single layer of my constantly deployed protective barrier with its Auto function. There’s no way Zes, who is weaker than my former father, could break this barrier.”

I used a silent incantation to cast Earth Magic Rank V, Gravity, as soon as Zes entered the room, pinning him to the floor.

“Still, it’s quite a letdown. Despite his arrogant attitude toward me, he couldn’t even land a single hit and fell to just one of my offensive spells.”

Now, in front of me, Zes is sprawled on the floor with both legs crushed by Gravity.

“However, Earth Magic Rank V is truly something. It’s astonishing how an invisible attack magic can have such a broad range or be concentrated to a narrow area… It can crush just the legs or prevent someone from standing, as seen with Zes. This level of power is almost cheating. If Rank V is like this, I wonder how powerful and effective higher ranks are… Don’t you want to see? It would be a waste not to experiment while I have the chance, wouldn’t it?”
