Chapter 157: Return
And so we made our way out of the forest and walked over to the carriage.As we approached the carriage, Rees poked her head out and shouted.“!! Zest-kun!”“! Welcome back, everyone!”“Huh!? Oh, wait—why did you come out of the forest!? You were supposed to have taken a different path, right!?” As Rees reacted, Lapis and Fine, who had been inside, also poked their heads out.“Well, a lot happened.”“Zest… are you… okay now? Can we all go home together?”“Yeah. Let’s go home. All of us together.”“I’m so relieved…” As soon as we climbed into the carriage, Rees threw her arms around me.“Whoa!”“Zest… I’m so glad you’re safe…”“I told you so. I told you to trust me. There’s no way I’d go down from something like this.”“Yeah… yeah…”Rees buried her face in my chest and stopped moving. I can’t move at all like this, but oh well.“Sorry to both of you. I’m sorry I stuck you with guarding Reese.”“It’s fine. I’d take on that kind of job anytime. I won’t let anyone lay a finger on such a
Chapter 156: Manta’s Ability
“!? H-hey, wait—everyone’s gone!?”“It suddenly got dark!?”Both of them were taken aback by the sudden change.“Calm down. We’re in a different place now.”“A different place? Where on earth are we?”“It’s the cave we found when we entered the forest.”“So this isn’t connected to the Emperor’s fortress…?”“At least, I don’t think they’ll be able to find us here easily.”We’re currently inside a cave we found in the forest. It’s dim and we can’t see the back, but it’s a dead end and not very spacious.It’s a fair distance from the Emperor’s base. Plus, it’s a cave deep in the forest.There’s no way they’d be able to find us here.“A cave… Oh! No way!”“Yeah. I actually came here once before heading to the Emperor’s base. I wanted to secure a teleportation point for Atirari. I found this spot just in time. I widened it a bit so Atirari could fit inside.”“Is that so…”We were lucky to find a cave that was just the right size.“So, thanks to you, we were able to escape. Did you use a mo
Chapter 155: Escape
King stares at me as if I were a monster.“There’s no way a sword stronger than my… Astaroth could exist…”“You’re still saying that? You saw it with your own eyes. That’s the truth.”“Impossible… Astaroth is a sword that rivals a Divine Weapon…! The only weapons stronger than this should be Divine Weapons themselves…!!”“Huh?”Astaroth has the same performance as a Divine Weapon?That’s ridiculous. I’ve never heard anything like that.“Rivaling a Divine Weapon… Who on earth told you that…?”Sure, Astaroth is certainly in the top tier, but it’s not a Divine Weapon. It’s bound to pale in comparison to a Divine Weapon.Comparing it to a Divine Weapon in the first place is wrong. That’s because Divine Weapons were created to stand at the pinnacle of their respective weapon classes.That’s why ordinary players don’t bother comparing them.“Besides, I actually broke your sword, didn’t I? That alone is proof enough of the difference in performance.”“Th-that was just a fluke! You must’ve us
Chapter 154: The Performance Gap
Men are pouring out one after another from the entrance we just came through. The guy we ran into earlier must have called for backup and brought them here.But because the entrance is narrow, the number of people who can pass through is limited. No matter how many reinforcements he brings, it’s pointless if they can’t get through.Lily and Randall should be more than enough to handle those guys. Leaving the reinforcements to those two, I approach King.“Oh? You’re not seriously planning to take on Your Highness all by yourself, are you?”“Yeah. It’d be too much for Randall to handle. I decided I’d do it myself.”“Whoa, whoa. You’re pretty confident, aren’t you? You know, you can all come at me together if you want. I’ll even make sure not to get in the others’ way.”“I don’t need them. How could I trust a bandit like you?”“Well, if that’s how you feel, fine. The outcome won’t change anyway.”King laughed derisively, then glared at me.“Who the hell are you, anyway? Some mercenary h
Chapter 153: King’s Objective
A man emerged from behind Attilari and glared at us. We’d finally made it here, but it looks like we’ve been spotted.Well, we were lucky to have made it this far without being seen. It really did go too smoothly.Still, there’s only one of him. If we take him out before he can call for backup, maybe we can pull this off…? As I braced myself, Randall, standing next to me, stared at the man with a look of shock on his face.“…………K-King…!”“Huh?”What…?Could it be that the guy standing over there is King?The Emperor’s boss Randall was talking about. Is that the guy?“H-hey. Is that guy King?”“Y-yeah…”“No way…”Just when it’s all over, some crazy guy shows up.Wait. I guess it makes sense that the head of the Emperor would be fascinated by a completed ancient weapon. I can understand wanting to gaze at it up close for a while.Either way, maybe this outcome was inevitable from the start.“Hey. What the hell are you guys doing? Weren’t you causing a ruckus down there?” King glared a
Chapter 152: ☆The Mouse
King began walking toward the dense crowd. As he approached, the people there parted like the Red Sea.He continued walking until he stopped right in front of a certain man.“……? Your Majesty? Is something wrong?”The man stared at King with a puzzled expression.“Now that the Atirari is complete… I thought this was the perfect timing. Since the opportunity has arisen, I’ve decided to do this with my own hands.”“H-huh…?”The man grows even more confused, unable to grasp what King is saying.Then, King draws the sword from his waist.“……!? W-what are you…?”The blade King held had a black edge and an unusual appearance.“Leaving you like this would just be a nuisance. The Emperor has no use for sewer rats. Filthy sewer rats are best exterminated.”“? What do you mean—” The next moment……“Huh!?”The sword in King’s hand pierced the man’s abdomen.“Gah…! W-what are you—”“It means you’re no longer needed, you sewer rat with the Rihibel Kingdom’s collar.”“Wh-what…!?” The man was stunn
