The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Chapter 212: The Sage Refuses the Intentions of the Beast

The destination of the transfer was the laboratory basent.

This spacious area was divided into several rooms.

At first glance, it looked like a fine mansion.

The only indication that this place was actually a prison was the lack of windows or a door that connected to the outside.

The room was surrounded by a barrier that interfered with most transfers.

The room also had a chanism that sealed off magic power and miasma just by being inside.

It should be impossible to escape from here.

I walked into the area.

Gwen was dozing on the sofa.

Books were piled up on the table beside her.

It was a precious thod of killing ti in this space.

Books were regularly sent here at Gwens request.

I called out to her, who seed to be asleep.

How are you doing?

Its not bad, really. I especially liked the fact that director-san wasn't around to stare at all the ti.

Gwen woke up and stretched comfortably.

That wasnt sarcasm.

It seed that she truly felt that way.

The monitoring done by the director seed to be a considerable ntal burden.

It was an environnt where normal people would be driven insane.

The fact that Gwen was rely annoyed by it showed how strong her ntal fortitude was.

I felt a little impressed and muttered.

Its amazing that you managed to endure it.

Of all people, you say that to , Havelt-san? If you feel any sympathy, just let out of here.

Thats not possible.

When I gave such an imdiate answer, Gwen puffed her cheeks.

She frowned as she sulked.

Mumu, so you still cant trust . Dont you rember how much we loved each other back then?

Dont go forging fake mories on your own. I had no such relationship with you.

Ahaha, thats interesting.

Gwen laid down on the couch again and laughed happily.

It seed like she was teasing .

Gwen asked as she twisted her upper body.

Leaving that aside, you still think I will betray you?

Thats a possibility that cant be denied.

Please dont say such sad things. Ive already had a change of heart, you know? I really dont have any intention to hurt anyone.

Gwen sighed.

With both of her hands on her cheeks, she closed an eye and said.

Dont you think its a common pattern for a strong opponent to beco an ally once defeated? In fact, the Demon Lords Army works that way too. It should be my turn next!

Their personality is credible, thats the difference.

I didnt deny Gwens argunt.

Certainly, so of the people currently affiliated with the Demon Lords Army were once hostile.

After a reasonable amount of interaction, they turned and beca reliable allies.

On the other hand, I couldnt let my guard down for Gwen.

She was still imprisoned like this because there was still a part of her that I couldnt see through.

She had an air to her as if she had so sort of secret plan, and could easily escape if she had the chance.

Because it was Gwen, it was hard to pretend that it was rely my imagination.

Im the only beast of the outer world around, right? Perhaps there are so who are still remaining in outer space, but I doubt that theres anyone crazy enough to rescue . Since were talking about Havelt-san, youve also been exploring outer space this past year, right?

Of course I have.

The invading beasts of the outer world were all annihilated except for Gwen a year ago, but those werent the last of them.

There were still so lingering in outer space.

Being wary of the possibility of another invasion, I took the initiative and went to outer space.

Then, I killed a large number of beasts through a series of forbidden spells.

There were many beasts possessing trendous power out there, but none were able to surpass .

I absorbed a large number of beasts, with the false god among them.

As a result, I gained transcendental power.

The abilities I had now were incomparable to when I first beca a Demon Lord.

Even those beasts of the outer world werent my equal match.

By now, the world was protected with a large-scale barrier.

It was a deterrent to new threats coming.

Unless they were at least an existence like the false god, they wouldnt even be able to scratch the barrier. [T/N: rember, the false god had backing of the Will of the World, and due to her existence as a fusion of multiple consciousnesses, she could control the outco to so extent.]

Gwen yawned and turned her sleepy eyes toward .

I have no intention to fight back now that the situation has already reached this point. I would die for real the next ti I try to provoke you, after all. Bluntly put, I have a zero chance of victory, really.

Gwen complained as she rolled her eyes and suddenly corrected her posture.

She then lowered her head to the sofa.

And so, please let be affiliated with the Demon Lords Army! I wont mind any chores I have to do! If you allow to leave, I will do any task regardless how unreasonable

Ill think about it.

I replied casually and turned around.

I imdiately heard a protesting voice from behind.

Really! Thats what you say all the ti-! Ive been a good child all this ti, havent I?! Isnt it good for you to show so dere hey, please wait a minute! Hey, Havelt-san!

I ignored the voice that shouted for to stop from behind, and transferred to above ground.

The director was waiting there.

Thank you for your hard work.

Is she always like that even when Im away?

No, she tends to keep quiet most of the ti. The only things she would say were her requests to et Demon Lord-sama, I guess? She didnt seem to want to talk to , after all.

The director calmly stated.

She was being casual since it had nothing to do with her research.

She was so calm, compared to her usual words and actions, that it was hard to believe.

Fumu

Are you going to release her?

Maybe I will soday. Gwen wouldnt dare to attack again anyway.

I would wait for the right ti and return her to outer space.

If she showed any signs of taking revenge, I would just crush her then.

Gwen wasnt a fool either.

I doubt that she would approach this world ever again.

Im sorry, but please continue to monitor her.

Roger that! Leave it to !

I left the director to do her salute and returned to the castle.
