Aarons made serious mistakes from the beginning.

He forgot that this was a magical world, that the people here had different values ​​and behaviors, and that his own moral standards were much higher than those of ordinary people.

The reason why the nobles dare to do things that ignore common sense is not because they think highly of themselves or are extremely stupid... but because they truly possess the power to despise ordinary people.

"Zhu Ying—kill him!"

"It's useless. Do you think I would go out without a life-saving item?"

Upon receiving the order, the cherry-haired maid immediately swung her battle axe at the short and fat man. However, the axe blade, which was sharp enough to tear through the air, was blocked by a light blue barrier before it hit the opponent.

That's ancient magic too!

“Master, get out of the way… Aaaaaah!”

"Qianyun!"

"I can't...control..."

At this moment, Jiang Yue realized that something was wrong and reacted immediately, stopping Mo Qianyun whose mind was controlled by magic in time.

However, before she could carefully check the other party's condition, Mo Qianyun, whose expression was extremely distorted by pain, had already punched her body with a strong magical power.

——The condensed magic power made the fist seem like a terrifying hammer, and with one blow it knocked Jiang Yue's body back several steps.

"…Is it control magic?!"

"Master... while I still have control... kill me!"

““What a joke!””

Aarons and Jiang Yue shouted the same answer at the same time - looking at the female mercenary who was still struggling to resist the mental restraints, they could not really bring themselves to kill her.

"Ah, what a beautiful friendship... Then you can continue to kill each other. I won't accompany you anymore."

The short and fat man, who was protected by a powerful barrier, jokingly laughed at Aarons, who was so imposing just now, and slowly walked off the stage nonchalantly.

Even though the cherry-haired maid still tried to attack him, she was ultimately unable to stop him.

"Marquis, Miss Qianyun must have been hit by an ancient magic of domination... It was originally used to deal with monsters! That bastard actually dared to use it on a human..."

Looking at the culprit leaving the scene calmly, Jiang Yue suppressed her anger and guilt, and explained to Aarons with gritted teeth.

——If Mo Qianyun hadn’t stood in front of her in time, she would have been the one to be hit by this magic.

"Damn it, you bastard! I must..."

However, before Aarons could yell, Mo Qianyun, who was struggling with his hands on his head, started moving again.

Eight different kinds of magical powers instantly gushed out of her body, and then she once again threw a frantic punch at Jiangyue who was protecting Aarons.

Even though she used the sword and spear in her hands to resist, Jiangyue's arms were still numb from the violent magic power.

“Aaaaaaahh ...

"This power... Marquis! I can't stop her in a place like this!"

Jiang Yue’s meaning was very clear - there were several thousand spectators gathered below the stage, and it was simply impossible to suppress the out-of-control Mo Qianyun without affecting them.

So Aarons had to make a decision immediately.

“Damn it! Execute the backup plan! Spider Sakura! Lead us to retreat from the air!”

Jiang Yue had already lost in the contest of strength, and it would be difficult for her to win even if she continued to fight. More importantly, they had to prevent Mo Qianyun, who was about to fall into a violent state, from hurting the people around him.

So even if Aarons didn't want to make such a choice at all, he had to leave this place immediately and let Mo Qianyun take the initiative to catch up with him.

"Mr. Marquis... I am..."

However, before the spider sakura could fly to the two of them, Mo Qianyun, who had fought off Jiang Yue, stopped again and began to struggle in pain.

Even though she was hit by an ancient magic that could control magical beasts, she was still able to retain a trace of her will - perhaps it was because she had always insisted on her integrity and beliefs that she was able to barely resist mental pollution and domination.

But she was clearly reaching her limit.

"I will... use magic to blow myself away... Please... run away!"

——At this time, she was still thinking about protecting Aarons.

"…You know where to find me!"

Because they didn't want to waste the opportunity she had created with all her efforts, Aarons and Jiangyue hugged Zhuying's waist without hesitation. The maid with cherry hair instantly spread her wings and flew into the air with the two of them.

"We'll end it right there...!"

Seeing Aarons and the other two quickly flying into the sky, Mo Qianyun, who was enduring the pain, immediately stomped on the ground, and driven by the gushing magic power, jumped up with the three of them.

Then she slapped her chest hard with her hand.

"I, even if I can..."

——The violent attack on herself caused her body to twist forcefully in mid-air, sending her flying backwards away from Aarons.

……

Zhuying carried the two people flying in the air at high speed and left the range of Moti City after a while.

However, Aarons was so angry at this time that his teeth were about to break.

"I'm such a useless piece of shit! Why... why couldn't I think of this possibility!"

——It was because of my own arrogance and underestimation of the enemy that I encountered such a result.

He had clearly predicted that the other party might have some secret weapon, but because of his excessive arrogance, he gave the other party a chance to reverse the situation.

I was so naive that I actually thought it would be safer to humiliate him in public than to kill him... I should have just taken action against that guy from the beginning!

Why should I look down on these nobles who have been entrenched in the empire for more than a hundred years? Is it just because I am a time traveler with some failed life experiences?

I clearly have no power at all, so why do I feel that the heir to a duke is inferior to me?

Why would someone protect me who is so stupid and incompetent? !

“…I made an unforgivable mistake.”

"Marquis, you..."

"Teacher Jiangyue, tell me how to break that magic."

——Aarons is not asking “is there a way”, but “even if there is no way, there must be one”.

But the sage who has lived for hundreds of years knows very well that some things are impossible to do.

"That magic can destroy the self-awareness of monsters, turning them into puppets that can only accept simple commands. And since the consciousness of monsters can be easily destroyed, if it is used on humans..."

When Jiang Yue's sad voice came from the side, Aarons immediately knew the answer to this question.

It's too late to do anything now - this is the reality he has to face.

"Zhu Ying, speed up. Get back to the base immediately. I'm going to ask others... There must be a way to solve it, there must be."

But he didn't want to make the same mistake again.
