Chapter 162: The Destroyer

“Zilard… no, you as soon as served this fortress, as a magic engineer, Lambda. The aim of that man.” (Sirius)

A genius magician engineer of Sandor prior to now… he was that man. Though he was a commoner, he discovered magic formation and magic software on his personal, and it appeared he spontaneously made magic instruments. Lambda’s skills have been acknowledged and he was delivered to the fortress later. He contributed an important deal to Sandor’s improvement by creating environment friendly magic instruments. He was mentioned to have develop into the chief government of magic software division on the younger age of twenty.

Nonetheless… that profitable profession didn’t final lengthy. It was came upon that Lambda was utilizing the properties of the fortress as analysis bills with out permission and pursued human experiment by kidnapping harmless folks. Huge wealth had been used, and due to the assist of the encircling individuals who have been jealous of his skills, he was sentenced to demise and disappeared from the historical past.

After I plainly mentioned him that he was that Lambda, the person named Zilard gripped his cane whereas floating a confused expression.

“I’m occupied with what have been you saying… am I that Lambda? I assumed Sirius-sama is a bit smarter than that…” (Zilard)

“Are you for actual? I additionally know that Lambda, however hasn’t he died way back?” (Luca)

“Haha! In that case, Zilard is already an previous man, sure? Because the champion of the Combating Pageant, aren’t you a bit an excessive amount of by pondering so!?” (Hilgan)

The three folks right here have been stunned, however my ideas wouldn’t change. After I heard from Freesia, the data vendor, it was a narrative of just about twenty years in the past. Therefore, if Lambda have been alive, he ought to be handed fifty years previous already. Nonetheless, irrespective of how folks have a look at Zilard, he was a person round twenty years previous. There was a restrict to deceive the age.

Extra importantly, the capital punishment given to Lambda by Sandor was known as [Banishment]. It was a punishment precisely because the identify counsel. The place to be despatched was the Demonic continent the place a number of monsters roaming. The criminals have been carried in a small boat whereas being tied up. Since there have been no gear given and so they have been despatched to the monster’s nest in a restrained state, it will be regular in the event that they died, however…

“After all, I’m conscious of what I’ve mentioned. However among the many criminals who have been banished, Lambda was the one one who had totally different circumstance.” (Sirius)

The executor would wait on an offshore ship throughout the punishment, and it will be accomplished after confirming that the legal attacked by the monsters. Initially, it ought to instantly finish as a result of the legal can be attacked instantly on the seashore of the Demonic continent, however Lambda’s restraint was undone on the identical time of arrival, and apparently, he ran away to a close-by forest whereas being chased by monsters. After all, there have been additionally many monsters within the forest and the executors couldn’t confirm. Due to this fact, Lambda was deemed to have died as a result of he was assumed not having expertise in battle. There was no means he may survive.

In these days, those that envied him have been altogether to see the punishment till the tip, and that info have been conveyed to Freesia from these folks to the harlots. In different phrases… nobody would suppose Lambda was nonetheless alive, however nobody may affirm his demise.

“Anyhow, it’s as a result of the person made magic instruments. There’s a good risk that you just survived through the use of magic instruments which you introduced secretly.” (Sirius)

“Sirius-sama. You certain have good creativeness. No… it is likely to be attainable so that you can say that since you don’t know in regards to the Demonic continent.” (Zilard)

Removed from being stunned, he was me with a pitiful expression. By seeing this matter from the facet, it couldn’t be helped to perceived that I used to be deluded as a result of I didn’t think about the totally different in time interval.

As a matter of reality, this was my instinct. Nonetheless… it was instinct that had been cast after crossing border line between life and demise many instances. It was unattainable to disregard it and I gathered info personally, however it was altering to affirmation on this case.

“It’s a continent with none human intervention. There shall be issues that we don’t predict will occur.” (Sirius)

“Haa… I perceive. For argument sake, if Lambda continues to be alive, what’s he doing now?” (Zilard)

“Are you asking what a person who come again from hell will do, sure?” (Sirius)

Lambda was a legal, however in actuality, it was extremely prone to be false presumption. He wasn’t good at socializing, and he was a weirdo who solely thought of magic instruments. In actual fact, he was a sort thoughts who thought of household. Though his room was ready within the fortress, he stayed together with his dad and mom’ home.

Apart from, Lambda was promoted from being a commoner to the chief government to develop magic software. I may think about that… there have been many individuals who jealous of him and I additionally couldn’t refute if his household was being taken hostage… To sum up, that was what I used to be going to say.

“Doesn’t that make you suppose Lambda returned to this nation, modified his identify and look and alternatives for revenge?” (Sirius)

“Hmm… that could be a bit high-handed, however I can’t say that it’s not true. Nonetheless, I believe it’s unattainable to say that I’m Lambda proper?” (Zilard)

“Wait a sec. Since you’re a visitor, I would like you to cease from assuming that. Don’t you lump him as a legal when he helps Sanger-sama greater than anybody else!” (Luca)

It is likely to be as a result of Luca couldn’t stand it and she or he adored Zilard, she started to scowl me whereas releasing bloodlust. She was definitely appropriate. I had no proof that Zilard was Lambda. Zilard appeared to have ready to kind inhuman measure by asking me for assassination so as to make Sanger to be the king, however I observed one thing misplaced.

“Are you certain that you just helps Sanger-sama? Based mostly on my commentary, I can’t suppose nothing else however half-baked assist.” (Sirius)

“I can’t ignore that. For the sake of Sanger-sama, I–…” (Zilard)

“Though you’ve got the talents which made you to be known as God’s Eyes, why aren’t you continue to eliminating different obstacles?” (Sirius)

I used to be satisfied when he informed me that he knew very properly about vegetation. I had little question that this man was monitoring folks by checking the situation of individuals from the roots of the vegetation extending to each a part of the fortress and the nation. If he may grasp the place of the opponents, he ought to have the ability to handle a few of them by greedy their weaknesses and wrongdoings. Nonetheless, these folks have been nonetheless performing on their very own and did one thing to trouble Sanger.

“Whereas saying you’ve got the duty to make Sanger-sama to be the king, you’re clearly doing it moderately. No, ought to I say that you just achieve this with some sort of intention?” (Sirius)

Though he had the readiness to ask me to assassinate, there have been many different peoples he ignored. It wasn’t Fort who tried to convey revolution. To inform the reality, I felt one thing totally different after I thought of this man. I felt uncomfortable sufficient to the extent of contemplating the entire state of affairs once more, and because of verifying the state of affairs…

“You aren’t solely supporting Sanger-sama, however you additionally cooperate with those that oppose him, proper?” (Sirius)

Apart from giving info to each side, he didn’t solely intensified the strife as a result of succession proper, but in addition manipulated the general movement of state of affairs. To be temporary, the id of mastermind talked about by Freesia, the data vendor, was this man. If he was the person, the entire state of affairs would make sense.

Subsequent, it was the aim of doing this. If he was aiming on the throne, it was simpler to let Sanger to develop into the king. Since he already gained ample confidence from Sanger, there have been some ways to do it corresponding to manipulate from behind the scenes, manipulating him to write down the desire of succession with poison drug. But, what this man had accomplished nothing aside from creating confusion within the nation.

“You might be breaking the nation the place you reside. Considering of the potential of hating Sandor, it is sensible to me that you’re Lambda.” (Sirius)

Those that had skills and able to making magic instruments would be capable of do such a factor. They have been those that had sturdy grudge towards Sandor or particular individual. Based mostly on the very fact heard from the data vendor that his demise wasn’t confirmed, the potential of him to be Lambda was the very best. After I waited for the opposite facet after having to elucidate till now, what I heard was a modest applause.

“What an exquisite deduction. Sure… you have been proper. My function is to confuse the nation.” (Zilard)

“Zilard! Is it essential to say that…” (Hilgan)

“Since he has observed to date, he must also know the reality. Nonetheless, there is just one distinction. I’m not Lambda. I’m a spy deployed by a sure nation. Though such issues aren’t true, I’ve no alternative however to do that as a result of my household is taken hostage at residence–…” (Zilard)

“Are you able to cease making an attempt to deceive me?” (Sirius)

A overseas spy? That was extra sensible than my conjecture, so the likelihood was excessive. Nonetheless, as a kind of who lived in comparable world and who had been opposed comparable variety, there was no means the speak about being a spy was true. His id was…

“You might be… those that want destruction. I do know properly the eyes that secretly harbor darkish feeling deep inside.” (Sirius)

Within the first place, the explanation why I began pondering like having delusion was as a result of I knew a person who precisely just like the person earlier than me. He was an avenger who tried to destroy the world by standing on the high of a giant firm. He even sank himself into mud to perform his function to despair every little thing. Sure… that man earlier than me had the identical eyes with the avenger who I fought within the earlier life simply earlier than I died.

“For those who don’t wish to reply, I’ll reply it for you. Your true function as Lambda is to destroy this nation.” (Sirius)

If it was about revenge, often it will be a particular individual, however as for Lambda, the goal of revenge was the entire nation. Whereas currying the favor from Sanger, one of many evidences was that he operated behind the scenes.

After I mentioned plainly and confidently, the person earlier than me put his palms on his mouth to carry the laughter.

“Hehe, hahaha! To succeed in that conclusion with a number of clues… you’re fairly one thing.” (Zilard)

“Are you lastly admitting?” (Sirius)

“Sure. As you may see, I’m Lambda. I want for the destruction of this nation. Nonetheless, it’s been some time to be known as by that identify.” (Zilard)

Zilard… no, Lambda floated a criminal smile like a crescent moon. That smile was ruthless and atrocious. Certainly, this was the true nature of Lambda. He uncovered an unfamiliar ambiance with out reservation with eyes that hid murky darkness like a bottomless swamp, however the ones who affected most with the sudden adjustments have been Luca and Hilgan who stood subsequent to him.

“A-are you fantastic with this? May this man…” (Luca)

“Aah. We are able to’t let him alive and return. I’ll dispose this man. After that, it’s a must to give these girls to me, alright?” (Hilgan)

“Each of you… relax a bit. Even when he is aware of my id, he can not do something.” (Zilard/Lambda)

In contrast to these two, Lambda stored his physique on the chair whereas floating a relaxed smile.

“It’s an excessive amount of content material for a mere adventurer… No, you’re an rebel who killed the heavyweight of the nation now, and in comparison with our phrases because the heroes of the nation… who do you suppose they imagine extra?” (Lambda)

Though he requested for assassination, it was me who truly did it. As for the matter of Lambda, the folks of this nation wouldn’t suppose that he was alive and returned from the Demonic continent. Due to this fact, in the event that they acknowledged the matter, it will be an act of exposing the nation to disgrace. Even when the matter was true, my argument would undoubtedly be ignored.

“Plus, I’ve a secret plan to make you say nothing. I believe you perceive it, so cease from doing one thing pointless.” (Lambda)

“Secret plan… is it? Do you imply this drugs?” (Sirius)

“Sure. The issues that erode your spouse won’t fully disappear with that drugs.” (Lambda)

Though the desire was nonetheless there, it appeared the impact that obeyed solely the instruction of Lambda would stay. I had anticipated this halfway, however it made me so indignant when he defined so. My bloodlust was unleashed instinctively, however Lambda, who calmly accepted it, mentioned sudden issues.

“However, you may’t do the rest now. I don’t thoughts for those who develop into a hindrance, however don’t say something. Simply take your spouse and depart this nation.” (Lambda)

“…So you will let me cross, huh? I used to be pondering to trigger you far more nuisance.” (Sirius)

“My plan is within the closing stage. When it’s finish, it doesn’t matter what occur after.” (Lambda)

Certainly… he didn’t actually care so long as he bought his revenge. I didn’t know his plan and till what extent he was going to do it, however there was no distinction than revenge since there was no reward. Apart from, slightly than utilizing my energy, he requested me to go away this nation. I supposed the preparation of the plan was accomplished. There have been nonetheless many unclear factors, however my function nowadays had been reached.

I informed Lambda, who was wanting distant, whereas suppressing the bloodlust.

“It might be out of pity, however it’s an unattainable speak.” (Sirius)

“Oh my, can’t you imagine me? I don’t know your feeling, however there is just one means you may select. How about wanting on the face of your spouse as soon as extra, and take into consideration this once more?” (Lambda)

“That’s not it. It’s already too late.” (Sirius)

Then, as quickly as my phrases ended, I heard intense footsteps approaching this room. As Lambda, who observed the id of the footsteps, calmly put the masks of Zilard, the door of the room was opened by a kick.

“…Zilard.” (Sanger)

The one who expressed that was Sanger who had a sophisticated face. It is likely to be as a result of he ran right here laborious, his respiration was intensely disturbed, however after resting for brief time, he pressed on Lambda.

“Sanger-sama, do you’ve got one thing? I assumed you have been having tea with these folks–…” (Lambda)

“Did you… actually imply what you mentioned about this nation?” (Sanger)

“!?” (Lambda)

I supposed these phrases have been completely sudden because the smiling Lambda appeared disturbed now. He was in all probability so determined pondering why. To start with, the room the place the disciples and Sanger having tea was far sufficient from right here. It was unattainable for voices right here to achieve there except I shouted.

“Hey… inform me! You inform me! Are you… are you…!?” (Sanger)

“Please relax! How on earth is that this–… kuh! What have you ever accomplished!?” (Zilard)

After all, Sanger was indignant as if he heard our dialog. Lambda, who couldn’t say something as Sanger held his collar with such an emotion, remained nonetheless.

“Sirius-sama. Every thing goes as deliberate.” (Emilia)

“Aniki, if you wish to punch that man, let me do it.” (Reus)

“Each of you, don’t be too impatient. Fia-san continues to be not properly, you already know.” (Reese)

“I’m fantastic. There is no such thing as a drawback so long as I run calmly.” (Fia)

“What are you speaking about. Hearken to what Reese says. That sort of careless will not be good.” (Lifell)

“Hime-sama. You additionally did one thing comparable prior to now, proper?” (Soften)

Following Sanger, my companions except Karen, who I entrusted her to Hokuto, additionally appeared, and behind them, there weren’t solely Princess Lifell and Soften, however…

“I assumed that someplace was suspicious, however I didn’t count on he plotted such a factor.” (Julia)

“Pricey me, this example is disagreeable greater than I anticipated.” (Ashley)

There have been additionally Julia and Ashley, the eldest daughter and the second son of Sandor King. In a state of affairs the place all youngsters of the king have been right here, the confusion that Lambda having proper now appeared to be excessive.

“Wha-what is that this!?” (Lambda)

“Don’t look away! Didn’t you say you’ll make me the king… and also you’ll be my sword!? Are these lies?” (Sanger)

“Aniue. I perceive your feeling, however relax a bit!” (Julia)

“Silent! You all preserve silent!” (Sanger)

“By no means thoughts that, let him go. For those who do this, the speak received’t proceed, Anija.” (Ashley)

Sanger was raging that already uncontrolled, however it is likely to be pure for him to be like that. He trusted that man greater than anybody else, and he was betrayed by the person who he handled like a buddy. Anyhow, Sanger was forcibly pulled aside by his sister and brother. It appeared Lambda couldn’t fully grasp the state of affairs but, I began explaining after confirming that Emilia stayed subsequent to me.

“You continue to don’t get it, aren’t you? The dialog up up to now is leaked to everybody.” (Sirius)

“There is no such thing as a hint of activating magic…” (Lambda)

“I had activated it. Nonetheless, it’s a magic that you would be able to’t even think about.” (Sirius)

It was a magic of wind that ship voices to folks at distant place. When it’s activated, the movement of wind and mana have been born. He would observed instantly if his instinct was sharp, however the magic that I used was a particularly fantastic [String] that would cross by way of the outlet of a needle, and the movement of mana was virtually non-existent.

Furthermore, with the roots of mana have been rising innumerably within the fortress, it will be unattainable for him to note the mana thread that misplaced between these vegetation. Even when he observed it, it was unattainable to think about that I may achieve this far with mana thread alone.

“[String]… is it? Will it’s attainable to do all that with a single thread…” (Lambda)

“After all, no. The mana thread is linked between the manastone I’ve and along with her magic software… Emilia’s magic software.” (Sirius)

“Sure, like all the time.” (Emilia)

After activating the magic software formed like a gramophone that Emilia had in hand, I moved the manastone from the belt and when the manastone was carved with magic formation that absorbed the encircling sound…

[As you can see, the conversations around this manastone can be heard from this magic tool.] (Sirius)

“Wha!?” (Lambda)

Earlier than this… I used this software like a wiretap with the identical manastone throughout the turmoil of Mira’s Doctrine, however I may solely hear to these whom I linked the [String]. This software was a substitute of that measure. The thought was there, so I made a magic software unique for the reception portion so as to let folks round it may additionally pay attention.

“Heh… they actually heard me, huh? I additionally wish to have one.” (Zilard)

“After I although how everybody mocking about destroying the nation, however that they had no option to imagine after they knew it with eyes and ears.” (Sirius)

“It’s a magic software that appears to have numerous makes use of. It appears that evidently his time is an effective alternative to avoid wasting the nation.” (Emilia)

It is likely to be attainable if I used to be the one one who knew this, however it will be unattainable to flee if all of those have been heard by the royalties.

“…There may be such a magic software, huh? No marvel you have been obedient.” (Lambda)

“The extra you relaxed, it will likely be simpler to be careless. It could be much more after grabbing the weaknesses that may’t be undone.” (Sirius)

He wouldn’t admit that he was Lambda simply by asking him. That was why I pretended to obey him, letting him caught off guard after pondering that he had seize my weaknesses. To be trustworthy, I didn’t really feel snug when doing it, however it was additionally worthwhile as a result of I managed to make him confess what I wished to listen to.

“Wait a sec, Sanger-sama! He’s the one who killed Basic Fort! The top right here is the proof!” (Luca)

In trade to Lambda who didn’t say something, Luca appeared earlier than Sanger and appealed by pointing on the beg dyed in purple. I closed the opening of the bag since everybody got here right here, however they’d be capable of see what was that purple stain and scent.

“You…” (Sanger)

“Every thing was impressed by the lads there, and he informed Zilard-sama with out fail.” (Luca)

“Yeah! This bastard has threatened us!” (Hilgan)

“Do you imagine this merciless man in comparison with us who’ve been supporting you till now!? No, it doesn’t matter what occurred to us. No less than, please imagine Zilard-sama as your buddy–…” (Luca)

“You guys, Fort will not be useless.” (Julia)

However… that rebut was toppled by Julia’s phrases.

“If it’s about Fort, he’s sleeping within the room the place we have been. I hear that he won’t get up for some time, however everybody has confirmed that he’s in a great well being.” (Sanger)

“That may’t be true!? The top right here is definitely…” (Luca)

“Transfer!” (Hilgan)

The irritated Hilgan tried to choose up the bag, however I bought it sooner than him. Maybe, he tried to show the content material, however it was one thing I didn’t wish to present to the women in the home.

“Don’t fear, this can be a pretend. It took a number of time to organize it, however it appears to be like actual, isn’t it?” (Sirius)

This wasn’t Fort’s head. Truly, it was the pinnacle of a humanoid monster who had an identical physique to him. After all, as quickly as I bought that, I heard the person… err slightly the girl, Rose, who was at Freesia’s institution, was wonderful in doing make-up and tinkering useless our bodies. So the pinnacle I had was accomplished by her.

With Fort’s traits define and scar made, when Rose completed up touching the pinnacle with hair and blood I bought from Fort himself, so long as folks didn’t see it in shut neighborhood, they wouldn’t know that it wasn’t actual. Folks have a tendency to guage different folks with noticeable options slightly than the entire face. If there was a conspicuous scar just like Fort, it will be simpler to imagine. And when it got here Lambda, I needed to conversely use his skills.

Lambda was fairly chill out from the earlier time in all probability may sense the response of Fort being alive. When he observed that Julia’s phrases have been the reality, he hit the desk together with his fist.

“…How!? Though I used to be fairly certain his life has disappear… why there’s a response!?” (Lambda)

“After all, he was useless. However briefly…” (Sirius)

I considered utilizing poison that he gave me, however what I used regenerative exercise which was accomplished to the utmost restrict… and it develop into a so known as suspended animation which additionally could possibly be accomplished by drugs.

It was one thing that I made in order that I may fake to be useless and assault the enemies of their unguarded second, and to flee from enemies eyes in hostile locations. Truly, it was nonetheless within the means of enchancment and there was a threat that if I used it poorly, I’d lose the life, however with exact therapy accomplished instantly by Reese, an individual could possibly be resuscitated with out after-effects. In different phrases, there was no level in utilizing it if Reese wasn’t there. Effectively, it was a reasonably harmful guess, however I managed to trick him in some way. Moreover…

“In such a state of affairs… No, may it’s…!?” (Lambda)

“It appears you discover it. You in all probability suppose that you’re in advantageous spot as a result of you’ve got a hostage, however you principally bought it unsuitable.” (Sirius)

The matter which most involved was Fia, however in truth, there was no drawback in any respect. He was in all probability confidence in the results of his analysis. Effectively, it is likely to be due to researchers’ nature, however he ought to have thought-about the chances of not getting what he wished for.

“Sadly, my spouse is totally different from extraordinary Elves. What you made her drink will not be working in any respect.” (Sirius)

It was as a result of in her physique, there was a seed of sacred tree or Shishou, a nonstandard existence… The seed that given to the following sacred tree supplied divine safety that protected the host. In actual fact, removed from not getting sick, Fia was very proof against poison. To sum up, irrespective of what number of vegetation he studied, it wasn’t simple to screw up the divine safety of the sacred tree which stood on the high of the vegetation.

“Eh… does that imply Fia-ane was pretending to be sick?” (Reus)

“Sure. He had informed me that I shouldn’t get out of the room as a lot as attainable when he noticed the situation of my physique. Effectively… it’s additionally true that I bought a hangover.” (Fia)

““Fia-san…”” (Emilia/Reese)

“Are you…” (Lifell)

Though Fia sweetly stick out her tongue, the eyes of the environment appeared painful. At first, I requested Shishou to confirm the wine that I secretly secured at the moment, however she mentioned that there was no drawback in any respect. As an alternative, she was very indignant as a result of I poured one thing that considerably tasteless.

“Now, there isn’t any want to hide your id when there are such a lot of witnesses. Why don’t you inform us your plan?” (Sirius)

“Haa… that’s sensible. There is no such thing as a have to chuckle off greater than this.” (Lambda)

“Zilard.　Inform me that each one these are jokes. One thing like a trial to make me the king…” (Sanger)

“You continue to don’t get it, aren’t you? Do you continue to imagine in me whereas listening to that?” (Lambda)

Lambda held his fists as if he was disenchanted, however judging that it was not essential to salvage it, he checked out Sanger with the identical smile as earlier than. As Lambda stood up from the chair, he tried to hit the ground with the tip of the cane held, however I instantly shot it with [Magnum].

“For those who transfer unnecessarily, I’m going to purpose in your physique subsequent. You goal Fia when she has accomplished nothing, so you need to put together for it, proper?” (Sirius)

“Ooh, that’s scary. Sadly, it’s not there, you already know?” (Lambda)

Though it was an overwhelmingly disadvantageous state of affairs aside from the variety of folks, I couldn’t see him being stressed. The cane that appeared to activate magic had been destroyed, however did he has different methods?

No… it wasn’t that. Lambda was decoy, the true ones have been…

“You guys!” (Luca)

“Come on!” (Hilgan)

…Luca and Hilgan.

Luca blew a giant whistle within the air whereas everybody was distracted by Lambda. Within the meantime, Hilgan beat down the wall behind and made a means out.

[…—Awooo!] (Hokuto)

On the identical time, I heard the howling of Hokuto who was on alert. Maybe, the Dragonkin, Luca, known as the dragons and so they have been going to flee from the damaged wall. This case… I additionally remembered it earlier than. Aside from planting stone in Sandor physique, these folks should be companions of Belford who trigger chaos within the Beast nation, Arbitray. I couldn’t let these folks escape, however there have been many issues I wished to listen to, together with private circumstances.

Due to this fact, I turned my palms to purpose not on the pinnacle, however to shoot his toes, however Reus and Julia leaped out sooner than that.

“Don’t you suppose you may run away!” (Reus)

“Not when after you probably did all these!” (Julia)

“Heh, let’s do that!” (Hilgan)

Reus and Julia pulled out their sword and approaching Lambda, however Hilgan fearlessly stood of their means. Hilgan was unarmed. Did he neglect his weapon? Moreover, he appeared to be reckless since he had two professional swordsmen on the identical time. With the abilities of the 2, I assumed it will finish with a single blow…

““Wha..!?”” (Reus/Julia)

“Hummph! Solely at this degree?” (Hilgan)

Julia’s sword geared toward Hilgan’s left arm broke, and Reus’ greatsword swung on the proper arm was stopped midway. Her sword was skinny, so it wasn’t bizarre to interrupt, however it was clearly irregular that Reus’ greatsword swung was stopped by solely with arm muscular tissues.

“Come on, do it once more!” (Hilgan)

Whereas the 2 have been upset, Hilgan gripped the sword caught in his arm, and threw it to the close by wall along with Reus. His would possibly was greater than I imagined as a number of sturdy partitions have been broke. Then Reus, disappeared into the depth of the fortress. I used to be apprehensive in regards to the security of Reus’ security, however I couldn’t afford to thoughts him for now. Julia, who instinctively thought that she was at risk, tried to get away, however she was caught by Hilgan who approached with a velocity that didn’t match together with his large-build physique.

“Guh!? Let me go, you bastard!” (Julia)

“Hehe… I lastly bought my palms on you.” (Hilgan)

Whereas roughly greedy Julia’s stunning blonde hair, Hilgan appeared down and licked his lips on the identical time. He was a person who favored girls a lot. Maybe, he was aiming for Julia since way back, however he might need been stopped by Lambda.

“Your character is a bit troublesome, however you’re nonetheless a superb lady. I’ll practice completely after taking you residence.” (Hilgan)

“Ba-bastard! I assumed you’re the horrible as a swordsman, however you’re even worse than a rubbish!” (Julia)

“Horrible? Effectively you too, it’s pointless to have lengthy hair, you already know?” (Hilgan)

Definitely, Julia’s lengthy hair didn’t match as a swordsman. As a swordsman, the hair could possibly be grabbed like now if she bought into shut fight battle. Nonetheless, I didn’t suppose Julia was conscious of it, so maybe, she had some sort of circumstances for having lengthy hair. She was in predicament, however it didn’t appear she was going to chop her hair with the damaged sword.

“Whereas telling me not make a idiot since you’re a lady, you don’t wish to hand over as a result of you’re a silly swordsman and also you don’t wish to let go the very fact of being a girl.” (Hilgan)

“Silent! You already know nothing, bastard!” ( Julia)

Julia slashed Hilgan’s arm whereas combating ache, however it merely added shallow scratches which made no sense. As one would count on, I couldn’t depart this alone. I unleashed [Magnum] and shot Hilgan’s head and chest.

“Hmm? Did you do one thing?” (Hilgan)

“It doesn’t work, huh?” (Sirius)

I anticipated so when Reus slashed him. Apparently, he didn’t really feel ache. Removed from being calm whereas the pinnacle and chest have been being shot, the injuries closed visibly. He was not a human anymore. The issue was that rugged arm catching Julia, however I’d be capable of minimize it with [String] that utilized the precept of ultrasonic cutter. On the time after I tried to right away make a transfer, I observed one thing, so I unleashed [Impact] on Hilgan’s face.

“Buuhh!? What are you doing!?” (Hilgan)

“Mom… I’m sorry.” (Julia)

Then, similtaneously Julia’s decided preparedness, a silvery shot was unleashed along with a destruction noise.

“How dare you… bastard!” (Reus)

The true id of that silvery shot was Reus, who got here again from the depths of the fortress. He had the determine of a wolf which was known as as a cursed baby. Reus pushed by way of the opening made by my [Impact]. He got here nearer to Hilgan in brief time and swung his sword with full energy. He minimize the left arm that grasped Julia’s hair.

“Dorashaaaa–!” (Reus)

Reus let go considered one of his palms from the sword with out breath and unleashed [Wolf Fang] at Hilgan. Sadly, it was defended by the remaining arm, and the entire physique blow solely made Hilgan retreated for a number of steps. Even so, Julia’s rescue was profitable. Reus instantly eliminated Hilgan’s arm from Julia’s hair, and threw it to the toes of the opponent who scoffed abhorrently.

“This doggy bastard! You’ve got some nerve to intervene!” (Hilgan)

“Shut up! Don’t make mild of lady’s hair!” (Reus)

“Haa? What are you saying–…” (Hilgan)

“I’m unsure the element, however Julia has determined to not minimize her hair due to one thing vital! Bastard like you’ll by no means identified such a factor, so don’t calmly contact the hair of a girl!” (Reus)

“Is-is that you just…Reus?” (Julia)

It is likely to be as a result of he was excited due to wolf transformation, his phrases have been a bit tough. However… there was little question that I used to be pleased with his act as his trainer. His understanding on girls had improved loads.

Hilgan, who appeared to be aggravated by Reus’ anger, caught out his tongue whereas attaching the falling arm to the minimize floor.

“Shut up, canine! It’s simply hair. A lady hugged by a powerful man like me is serving the very best honor, you already know.” (Hilgan)

“That’s it. I don’t wish to speak to you anymore.” (Reus)

Because it was pointless to talk, Reus as soon as once more swung his sword at Hilgan. By the way in which, the arm connected was shifting with out drawback, however Reus was attacking him with out being upset as if he had anticipated that. With remodeled Reus, he in all probability wouldn’t lose in energy, however since they have been unusual enemies, I turned my consideration towards Lambda and Luca whereas aiming for the openings to assist Reus. Emilia and Reese have been alleged to cease these two, however it appeared that the state of affairs wasn’t good.

“They’re solely at that degree, isn’t it? Lambda-sama, please depart with that dragon for now.” (Luca)

“Shall I say… as anticipated of a Dragonkin?” (Emilia)

“However, isn’t one thing bizarre?” (Reese)

It was as a result of Luca cease Emilia’s and Reese’s numerous magic along with her entire physique. On high of sturdy physique of Dragon that ignored shallow magic, even when the magic did work, it will be just about the identical like Hilgan. Therefore, nobody had attain Lambda but.

“I can’t clarify it properly, however don’t you suppose that she is totally different from the Dragonkin we fought in school?” (Reese)

“I even have comparable thought. I’m involved about it, however let’s give precedence to cease them now. I’ll take her.” (Emilia)

“Yeah. Go away that man to me. Everybody… please!” (Reese)

It appeared they have been making adjustment as a result of we have been nonetheless contained in the fortress, however they rearranged their minds since their magic couldn’t join properly. Emilia didn’t hesitate to fireplace [Air Shotgun] to dam Luca’s imaginative and prescient, and the [Aqua Cutter] unleashed by Reese severed Lambda’s leg.

“Lambda-sama!? Yo-youuuuu—!” (Luca)

“You’re noisy. As for speaking about why you couldn’t develop into my protect, you are able to do it later. For now, please convey my leg shortly.” (Lambda)

Luca was calm irrespective of what number of assault she acquired, however she appeared to be actually agitated when Lambda was injured. I may perceive that Luca prioritized Lambda greater than herself, however she adored him greater than anticipated.

“I-I’m sorry! I’ll convey it shortly!” (Luca)

“It’s alright. I shall be healed later–… egh!?” (Lambda)

It was fairly brutal measure for Reese, however because it was attainable to heal it with therapy magic because the minimize was clear, I in all probability ought to cease him from getting away with therapy magic. Nonetheless, because the leg was being introduced over, quite a few vegetation started to develop from the minimize floor. Then, Lambda calmly stood up after the minimize leg bought linked. It was totally different from Luca and Hilgan, however the regenerative velocity was astounding. At that time, I judged that [Magnum] didn’t have an excessive amount of impact.

“Does everybody has regenerative potential? That is troubling.” (Soften)

“This isn’t an excellent state of affairs, isn’t it? Since they will escape, the hazard to us is small, however…” (Lifell)

Princess Lifell, who was protected by Soften, murmured so whereas observing the entire scene. Fia wasn’t in excellent situation, and I requested Hokuto to guard Karen and the carriage, so I couldn’t name him. Furthermore, since I couldn’t shield not solely Princess Lifell, Sanger, who nonetheless hadn’t calmed down but, and Ashley who was greedy his brother’s arm, it was troublesome to assault him.

“Hime-sama, it’s harmful, so please keep a bit behind me.” (Soften)

“Fia, don’t depart my rear.” (Sirius)

“Sure, I don’t intend to do the unattainable. Anyhow, it’s troublesome except we may give assaults that surpassed their regeneration potential.” (Fia)

“It’s attainable with that magic proper? For those who may destroy the mountain Ojii-sama summoned…” (Lifell)

“I believe that’s attainable, however the place will not be appropriate. It’s prone to contain unrelated folks, and since I’ve one thing I want to hear from them, I wish to seize them alive.” (Sirius)

“I see. I’m wondering if there’s a weak level.” (Fia)

“I believe there may be, however… hmm?” (Sirius)

Based mostly on my expertise, such an opponent ought to have one thing like a nucleus someplace within the physique. If I may not less than determine the situation of the nucleus, I’d in all probability achieve benefit, however it didn’t appear that I’d have spare time to seek for it.

“As anticipated, this isn’t going to be simple. Luca… come right here.” (Lambda)

“Understood.” (Luca)

When Luca, who acquired Lambda’s life, unfold her arms, she started to launch monumental quantity of mana as there have been numerous magic formation on her physique. I noticed the scales grew on the entire physique of Luca stood up, and I instinctively shouted sooner than Emilia and Reese blocking it.

“Everybody, defend!” (Sirius)

“–!? Everybody, defend!” (Fia)

“Please!” (Reese)

On the identical time, Reese and Fia created water and wind obstacles that enveloped us. Then, Luca scales have been fired concurrently to the environment. A numerous variety of scales exceeding a whole bunch grew to become sharp thorns and pierced into the world. The room was filled with holes, however it ended with out incident due to their magic. I used to be involved about Reus, who was preventing Hilgan, and Julia, who was out of the protection magic vary since she was away from us, however…

“…Are you alright?” (Reus)

“Aah, sure. Thanks in your assist. How about you?” (Julia)

“It’s not a giant deal.” (Reus)

It appeared Reus was having dangerous feeling since he blew Hilgan away, took a distance and guarded himself. There have been a number of scales caught on his again and shoulders due to that, however his flesh was sturdy due to the transformation, so the injuries have been shallow. If it was that a lot, it will heal up quickly.

The environment have been destroyed resulting from sudden vary assaults, however extra importantly, everybody was secure. In the meantime, Lambda and others have been on the transfer. By the point we completed verifying the state of affairs, they bought on the again of dragons and flew into the sky.

“Effectively then, we now have to excuse ourselves. We’re going to get busy any longer.” (Lambda)

“Wait there. Is it essential to hurry up a lot?” (Sirius)

There was a ways, however I may nonetheless make it if he was at that place. Though the magic bullet unleashed penetrated Lambda’s proper arm, it didn’t pierce by way of him, and the wound simply closed up. Nonetheless, Lambda would quickly discover why I nonetheless hadn’t attacked but. That magic bullet was linked by [String]. It was one thing known as Anchor Shot, and it hook his arm with mana thread. (TLN: Can refer Pokemon – Bulbapedia’s Anchor Shot)

“Is that this… the thread earlier ?” (Lambda)

“I want to speak to you extra. Your skills, your actual self–…” (Sirius)

“I refuse.” (Lambda)

Nonetheless, Lambda didn’t hesitate to swing his left arm, and he severed his proper arm. It could possibly be seen that he had no obsession together with his physique since he was eradicating the arm prefer it was part of a toy. The need to seize these folks alive elevated additional, however there was no means I may allow them to escape… proper? There have been no issues since they have been within the sky, so after I focus my mana to unleash [Anti Materiel], I noticed Luca was standing in entrance of Lambda with murderous intent.

“Not solely Lambda-sama’s toes, however you additionally took his arm! I’ll by no means forgive you all!” (Luca)

“Luca, relax. You made an excessive amount of fuss for wounds at this diploma.” (Lambda)

“However…! No… I bought it. However not less than, I…” (Luca)

Whereas the flying dragon that carried Lambda started to fly, Luca put her palms on the horns grew on her head. I used to be questioning what was with that, however then, she forcibly pulled it out whereas tearing her flesh. Whereas everybody was holding their breath at this uncommon scene, Luca threw the horns to us regardless that blood was dripping from the pinnacle…

“Emilia, blow it away!” (Sirius)

“Sure!” (Emilia)

I ordered Emilia to blow the horns away. The horns that have been blown to the sky distant with magical twister, exploded whereas scattering livid flame round the entire space. I had by no means heard that Dragonkin had such a functionality, however let’s suppose it as a parting present.

No… she was in all probability not a Dragonkin anymore. From the magic formations floated on the physique when scattering the scales, it will be higher to suppose her as a reworked human. Due to this fact, the explanation to interrogate these folks reached the height. I ought to use my trump card, so I focus my mana to the [String]s which I had been persevering with to activate because the night.

“You’ll not escape!” (Sirius)

I anticipate the escape route of the flying dragon and activated manastone that was set outdoors by way of [String]. Then, the community of mana threads unfold to the entire sky. Though the manastone crammed with monumental mana, it may cowl wide selection just for a couple of minutes, however was sufficient to cease them.

Because of the range of [String] displayed till now, the vigilant Lambda stopped advancing the flying dragon, we started to run so as to cut back the gap.

“It couldn’t be helped then. I didn’t wish to use this, however…” (Lambda)

Nonetheless, numerous tree roots rose out of the encircling floor on the identical time Lambda muttered one thing. The tree roots moved round like tentacles of an organism. We have been stunned however the roots ignored us. It went to the mana netting and minimize it forcibly. Regardless of of its quantity, the mana internet was one thing that would seal even a dragon, however… it contained extra energy than I anticipated. As I checked out Lambda’s profound smile, shouted out loud due to a sure thought.

“Everybody, cease! Don’t incite him anymore!” (Sirius)

“What do you imply!? Are you alright to allow them to go!?” (Reus)

“I believe I can nonetheless make it with advance magic.” (Reese)

“Cease it! Keep in mind the roots that stretch all through the fortress!” (Sirius)

Though Lambda was hesitated to make use of it, there was a risk that he may destroy the fortress by shifting if I poorly chased him down. I had no attachment to the fortress, however I’d undoubtedly really feel dangerous if one thing occurred. It appeared attainable to kill these vegetation with if I used my mana, however I didn’t have spare time to do it. It was regrettable, however I may let Lambda escape for now. Noticing the which means of my phrases, everybody stopped the toes in frustration, however there was somebody who hasn’t given up but.

“Aniki!? Since they’re already going, we now have to just accept–… ugh!?” (Reus)

“Wait there! Zilard–!!” (Sanger)

Sanger, who managed to be free from Ashley’s highly effective pinning, shouted whereas chasing after the flying Lambda. Whether or not it was the sensation of anger being betrayed by a buddy… Lambda continued to direct his chilly eyes at Sanger, who stored working desperately with out pondering.

“What a pitiful look till the tip. Why don’t you admit that there isn’t any which means irrespective of what number of instances you repeat that?” (Lambda)

“Shut up! Come down now!” (Sanger)

“You have been a great piece, however even when simple to think about, it was laborious sustain my face. To assist the nation with such kindness, you’re nearly as good as novice.” (Lambda)

“What have you learnt about me!? I’m going to you hit you, so come again!” (Sanger)

“Goodbye… Sanger.” (Lambda)

“Damnnn… aarghhh–!” (Sanger)

The person shouted in grieve because it wasn’t attainable to let off the anger, and… his shout reverberated into the darkness of the evening.

The treason of Sandor heroes.

The sleeping fortress woke up as a result of disturbance by Lambda, and the within of the fortress was in a state of confusion. In an effort to quell the confusion somewhat, Julia and Ashley defined the circumstances to the fortress folks, and we have been going again to our room when Julia requested us.

[A meeting will be held soon after the information is conveyed to everyone. You all please take a rest in the room until that time.] (Julia)

[…] (Sirius)

[Aniki, come on. Isn’t this place going to collapse?] (Reus)

[…Aah.] (Sirius)

[We should bestow you an award for saving the country big time, but it seems that we can’t afford it now. And this is a very frustrating request, but can you guys participate in the meeting too. I would like to hear your opinion a lot.] (Julia)

It could take time to elucidate the reality of the heroes, who had saved their nation, making an attempt to destroy them. The knowledge had been conveyed to influential folks of the fortress about this time. The preparations for emergency assembly have been progressing, however after I tried to search for the response with [Search], I instinctively set free a sigh.

Though this was an irregular state of affairs, removed from the assembly being poorly arrange, nobody had gone out from their very own room but.

I understood the state of affairs. I supposed this was the present state of affairs in Sandor, proper? It didn’t make me suppose that these folks have been serving the world’s largest nation. maybe, this was additionally the work of Lambda.

He made Sanger as a canopy, getting in contact with grasping folks behind the scenes, and secretly collaborate with them to expel trustworthy vassal corresponding to Fort. Because the remaining folks have been corrupted by the induction of Lambda, Sandor grew to become progressively weakened from the within. It was a really troublesome measure, however it is likely to be the proof that Lambda hated the nation and deliberate to knocked down folks to despair.

I felt uneasy about the way forward for Sandor nation, however since there have been Sanger and different, I switched the thought and determined to consider the longer term. It was attainable to guess the secrets and techniques of this folks from the phrases of Shishou who checked the wind, and their skills that crossed the road of being monsters.

[I wonder what is this… it’s annoying, but I feel something similar to myself from them.] (Shishou)

There was additionally a matter of laying palms on Fia, however because it had bought one thing to do with Shishou, I had determined to organize myself to combat Lambda. The issue was the enemies have been extra nuisance than anticipated.

As Princess Lifell advised, my [Anti-Material] may shot the nucleus, however solely half of the physique can be blow away directly by the dimensions of the magic. Given the regenerative velocity, he would regenerated earlier than I may unleash second blow to destroy the opposite half of the physique. Due to this fact, countermeasures towards these folks have been urgently wanted.

Apart from… I had another excuse for not preventing them. Though the injuries healed, Reus was nonetheless depressed within the nook of the room.

“Haa… rattling it…” (Reus)

Even when they have been equal in energy, Hilgan was naked handed and he didn’t use no matter he had which given him the title of Heavenly Sword. Though he was already out of the image, Reus didn’t suppose that he may win. Princess Lifell, who got here to the room, was comforting such Reus. As a facet story, in the course of the disturbance, Senia was watching For who was sleeping, however now, the folks of the fortress took care of him and Senia was staying subsequent to Princess Lifell.

“Don’t depress an excessive amount of. You have to be pleased with your self because you protected Julia.” (Lifell)

“I’m already fantastic with it, however that bastard… I can really feel that he’s nonetheless hiding his energy. I felt like he was going simple, and in some way it feels actually irritating.” (Reus)

“However there isn’t any drawback since you’re nonetheless alive. When you have fought with Strongest Sword, you already know what which means, proper?” (Soften)

“This doesn’t look like Reus-sama. There shall be a chance to combat him once more, so please change your temper shortly.” (Senia)

“…You’re proper. I cannot going to lose subsequent time!” (Reus)

Regardless of of being depressed, his preventing spirit hadn’t declined. As for Reus, Hilgan had already develop into an unavoidable enemy.

“By the way in which, why are you touching my ears?” (Reus)

“Hmm, I assumed that can make you relax somewhat.” (Lifell)

“The one who relax is Lifell-ane, isn’t it?” (Reus)

Effectively… there was no drawback if I entrusted Reus to Princess Lifell who had fetish on animal ears. As I arrived on the desk within the room and continued pondering in silent, Emilia poured one other serving to of tea and I observed that Reese, who sat on the other facet, was me gently.

“Sirius-sama. Can we are saying one thing?” (Emilia)

“…What’s it?” (Sirius)

“Uhmm, how ought to I say this? I really feel you’re in some way uncommon, Sirius-san.” (Reese)

“Even within the battle earlier, your uncommon habits was conspicuous. Is there an issue?” (Emilia)

It was true. Within the combat with Lambda’s group, I didn’t take part within the assault a lot and I used to be preserving protection. Though it was an emergency, it was not a mistake than I wasn’t assertive sufficient.

By the way in which, I ended the assault on Lambda’s group after they escaping the fortress not solely due to the hazard that the fortress could possibly be destroyed, however I additionally judged that I shouldn’t present my potential. I additionally had the plan to shoot down the flying dragon, however since there have been a number of different dragons, he may simply trip different dragon. Due to this fact, it made no sense to strive. Plus… there was a risk somebody from underworld lurking close by.

Since I couldn’t think about such skills personally created by Lambda, there is likely to be a mysterious existence that gave him information and likewise extra companions. I didn’t suppose that it will finish like this. I defined to these two about not taking an excessive amount of actions due to circumstances that I couldn’t reliably defeated him. Nonetheless, they appeared not satisfied but by their expression.

“I don’t suppose that’s all. I want to ask different questions.” (Emilia)

“Sure. I used to be pondering that you just have been obliged to cover the plan from us due to Fia-san being taken hostage, however after I recalled once more, I believe you have been in such situation since this morning.” (Reese)

“Your eyes Fia-san are clearly totally different.” (Emilia)

“We aren’t jealous. Effectively… it’s such as you have been actually apprehensive.” (Reese)

“Aah–… properly… I suppose so.” (Sirius)

“Hehe, I perceive why he’s apprehensive, however I believe it’s regular to really feel so, am I proper, Sirius?” (Fia)

Even when I mentioned so myself, they understood properly sufficient when part of me being uncommon. I had no plan to create the order of vital folks to me, however now, I had to concentrate to Fia it doesn’t matter what. In trade to me who couldn’t say any phrases unintentionally, Fia, who sat subsequent to me, answered whereas placing her palms on her stomach.

“It’s as a result of Sirius is… going to be a father.” (Fia)

“““““…Ehh!?””””” (Emilia/Reese/Reus/Lifell/Soften)

Yeah… there was my baby inside Fia’s stomach.

Presenting Hokuto

The evening when a large technique by Sirius was going down… Hokuto was quietly mendacity down close to the carriage owned by the Grasp. On his again, there was Karen whom the Grasp entrusted to guard, and she or he was peacefully sleeping.

“…Suuu–.” (Karen)

“…Woof.” (Hokuto)

It was an vital daughter entrusted by the mom to the Grasp. Since there was no room to spare, Hokuto elevated vigilance so as to not trigger pointless fear.

After some time, Hokuto observed that the dragon stored within the fortress started to maneuver.

“Awoooo—-!” (Hokuto)

He judged the Grasp was conscious of that, however this was to warning him not less than. When Hokuto-kun howled, he instantly remembered that Karen was sleeping on the identical time. When he rotated whereas being sorry for waking up a baby who was sleeping comfortably…

“…Unyaa… extra…” (Karen)

“Woof…” (Hokuto)

Ought to he blamed for not waking up the harmful consciousness even together with his howl? Or ought to he be amazed that she was sleeping with out waking up even on this state of affairs? Though just a bit, Hokuto-kun grew to become uneasy about Karen’s future.
