Obtaining 10x rewards! Reincarnated into a novel as a side-character!

The anger from being exploited at the meeting, the interruption while relieving his stress on the human, the disappearance of his son, and him being taken lightly…

The accumulated anger from all the events burst forth.

An extremely dense amount of dark espera leaked from his body, instantly killing the weak new servants on the spot. The mansion started shaking from the pressure.

He wanted to catch the culprit right now.

In his anger, he did not bother to think clearly. If he did, he would have realized an obvious pattern.

The sudden destruction of the city lord’s treasure, his quest to hire a diviner just to catch the culprit, and now the disappearance of his son.

How could it be possible that such extreme events had different orchestrators? Not to mention that the timing was also too close.

Oliver didn’t consider this possibility.

But in the end, it turned out to be in his favor. The household head was in a rage and had lost all remaining reason he had left.

He personally left the mansion to scout the city for his son or the trails of the culprit.

Some time passed as a voice sounded in the now desolate mansion.

“Phew, it was quite terrifying.”

He wiped sweat off his forehead. He was hiding at some distance away from the mansion. When the demon had released his aura, he could see the entire mansion shaking.

Moreover, his heart almost jumped to his throat when he saw the demon actually leaving the mansion. At one point, he even felt he might get detected on the spot.

He used dense Abyss energy to desperately hide himself, even holding his breath. He knew he could not be careless in that situation, and to his relief, it seemed to work as the demon simply went towards the city.

‘Now that the difficult part is done, it’s time to finish the rest.’

He sneaked into the mansion, swiftly dealt with the remaining few servants with ease. They were not particularly strong, and since most of the guards had already left to search for their young master, there were no strong demons around to be wary of.

Descending to the basement where the prison cells were, he found the human exorcists in captivity.

The humans on the other end were also stunned when they saw him appear suddenly in front of them.

They had obviously sensed the uproar in the mansion, and all of them had felt the terrifying pressure just moments ago. They knew something had happened.

They were all prepared to die at any moment. There was no hope of being rescued in such a situation where they were captives of such terrifying demons.

Their clans, even if they were to send rescue teams, would never have been able to locate them in the first place. The place was too conspicuous.

And if, by some miracle, they found them, facing the terrifying head of the household would require many sacrifices.

They knew it themselves—it was not worth it.

Their resolve was firm, and they were ready to die at any moment since they became exorcists in the first place.

And the pressure that was released by the demon just some time ago would have already killed them all had they been regular humans.

But since they were all exorcists with tempered bodies, they were still alive.

It was a blessing and a curse at the same time.

A blessing because they were still breathing, a curse because they would be subjected to more torture.

So when they suddenly saw a small boy in a black cloak appear before them, they couldn’t believe it.

Clearly, the boy was a human.

Not only did his features resemble that of a human, but that was not the only case. They could only sense pure espera from him, which further solidified their assumption.

“Oh! Fortunately, all of you are still alive.”

A very child-like, high-pitched voice sounded in the empty corridors as all of them stared at the child in front of their cell.

They bore varying expressions, from confusion to grief to anger, but there was a hidden glint of hope in the eyes of those captured as they recognized him as a human.

“C-Child, what are you doing in a place like this?”

One of the old men in the group mustered up the strength to speak to Oliver.

‘Child… haha.’ He could not help but shake his head internally.

“Never mind me. Let me free you all.”

Oliver simply moved forward and cracked the bars of the cell open with brute strength, shocking those inside.

They could not help but blink again upon seeing a ten-year-old kid bend iron bars with brute strength.

They knew he was not ordinary at this moment.

As Oliver tore apart the bars and entered inside, he noticed that all of them were bound with chains.

Normally, an exorcist was powerful enough to break apart these things on their own, but that was not possible given the collar they had on their necks.

It was a sealing device made specifically to restrain and capture human exorcists.

Oliver had no issues breaking their manacles, but upon glancing at the sealing devices, he felt it was a bit troublesome.

The location was near the neck. He wondered if using force would work.

Seeing his conflicted state, one of the freed exorcists spoke up.

“This is a standard sealing artifact. If we can get in touch with our regiment, there are some individuals with fine espera control—they can break it…”

“Huh, so it can be broken with espera?”

“Yes, but…” The woman looked at Oliver with narrowed eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Let me give it a go then.” He reached his hand forward, but the woman flinched and took a step back instinctively.

“Ah? I am sorry. Seeing your hand suddenly reach my throat evoked some unpleasant memories…” The woman recalled something with a disgusted expression.

“My apologies.” Oliver scratched his head. He was inconsiderate, but this was not a time to mind such things.
