Watashi Ga Betsu No Sekai De Umarekawatta
17-3: A Long Night in the Royal Capital 2
I passed Julberg shi and stepped forward in front of the knight leader who had visited, the former lost thieves king, Rudaman…
"Bra, Rudaman…"
"Did you change your job from a criminal slave…?"
"Tsk, Secilia si『Woundless』, yes…"
"So you're also a candidate for the Shiga Eight Sword..."
"No wonder I can't see anyone injured in this disaster…"
Although I approached him socially, Rudaman clicked his tongue with a shriveled face…
By the way, the reason why no one was injured, was because there were people who could use healing magic among the servants, and I distributed some magic potions…
Rudaman casually raised his hand above his head, and then swung it forward…
At the same time, every member of the 12th order knight began to take a battle stance…
The man who had a great shield made a wall, a fire spear that peeked between the gaps between them fired a Fire Bolt…
I can even hear chanting spells behind them.
Rudaman lowered his posture and tried to run past me, but I grabbed his leg, making him fall…
Oops, apparently his legs were destroyed along with the floor around…
However, Rudaman skillfully roled forward and swung his axe towards Julberg shi's bare hands…
Julberg shi took evasive action to avoid the axe, but it seemed that there was still the lingering effect of the magic sword, its movement was much slower than usual…
However, the frenzied edge never reached him…
Tiane barged in while holding the red magic edge spear…
Nimblely, I threw the debris under my feet towards the flying Fire Bolt, targeting them with a look at the future was indeed very practical…
Looking at the trajectory of the fire bolt, it seemed like they were eyeing Jizon to cover her mouth…
They might as well try to eliminate the holy knight who had released their weapons for healing, and the san samurai of the Shiga Eight Sword together…
"The Light Boost"
Jeril who had used light magic for physical reinforcement rushed towards the rebels to deal with them…
He seemed to have also seen Rudaman in the Labyrinth City, he started chanting incantations in conclusion as Tiane held Rudaman back…
Jeril jumped the shield user in the vanguard, and trampled the wand user who had the fire wand…
At the same time, the chanting spell of the rebels behind also stopped…
Apparently, the two Shiga Eight Swords that were chasing tamed monsters, attacked from behind them…
Both were high-level soldiers, they finished off the rebels who were considered to be the 12th order knight unit…
Of course, Rudaman whose limbs were pierced by Tiand's magic edge spear had also been captured…
Seemingly holding back with the magic edge spear was really difficult for him, one of Rudaman's arms broke off…
"No way, we were balanced then..."
"This is the result of the education and training of the Secilia…"
"And if there's any other body part I want to cut off again…"
Tiane nonchalantly brushed off Rudaman who said so in annoyance…
"Sad…"
During the incident, suspicious movements from several points…
They are in the garden of the next mansion that borders this mansion…
Apparently, there were five people from the criminal Guild on standby…
They may be ordered to kill people during the chaos…
It seemed like they lost the chance to come out because the fight here ended too quickly…
I'll leave it to someone else to deal with these people…
I looked around, because Miss Ryouna the Mower of the Shiga Eight Sword looked bored, I decided to hand it over to him…
"Ryouna the same, I want you to listen to something…"
After telling her that I sensed some suspicious presence at the border of the mansion next door, she quickly agreed to go investigate while smiling ferociously…
It seemed like Julberg shi and Heim shi of the Shiga Eight Sword were going to interrogate the captured rebels…
I'll leave it to them, I'll do the only thing I can do…
I only handed over the rebels who were considered to be 12th order knights, and the people from the Light of Liberty…
Among the people from the Light of Liberty, the three high-leveled people were hiding in the mansion together in the Nobles mansion, but those less than 10s level acted together with the 12th order knight…
No, they're not together…
I understand that the members of the Light of Liberty are in an underground tunnel…
All members of the 12th order knight were on standby at the entrance of the tunnel…
I told the surroundings that I was going to go for nature's call and go into the shadow of the park and see the members alternately with Clairvoyance…
It seemed that the members were quickly moving towards the exit of the underground tunnel…
I checked the direction they were going, but there was no special magic tool facility or anything…
Slime squirms over waste, but they don't change or anything…
When I turned my gaze to the front of the underground tunnel, I saw a new corpse…
I tried to find the bodies in the tunnel and found many…
Every corpse had been excessively stabbed with sharp objects, and died with an expression of sadness…
Attracted by the smell of blood, slime, insect, and rat had gathered, it was a cruel scene…
Each corpse wore shabby clothes like those from the slums or slaves…
Their age and gender were scattered everywhere, there were no distinctive similarities between them…
It seemed like they were beaten before, there were many with black bruises…
Just at that moment, a Telephone from Totona came.
"W-there's also you saying, did something happen…?"
"Are you hurt…?"
I told Totona who was carelessly worried not to worry, and urged her to continue…
"The three of us are fine, put that aside, what happened…"
"There's a letter from Sera in the palace…"
"Chamberlain who brought him said 'ASAP', what do you want to do…?"
From Sera san…?
"Totona, open it and read it…"
"Ehh…?"
"Is that okay…?"
"Wait a minute…"
"OK, I read it, "Nightmare visited the Royal Capital, Black Calamity descended from heaven…"
Inilah sebabnya mengapa nubuat...
There should be no prophecy of a demon lord appearing in the Royal Capital, so I guess it might be a greater demon or something along those lines…
However, it was not from underground…
From the sky, yes…
Please get away from developments like the troublesome inflation battle manga, it seems like "This time the enemy is a God."
I will thank Sera somehow after this matter is over…
It is not written that it will happen today, but the sign seems to be very dangerous…
I don't want to make this into something I'll regret later because I'm too unafraid…
We have to be prepared so we can cope with whatever might happen…
"Totona, tell everyone to arm themselves…"
"I don't know what's coming up today, so use the best equipment…"
"With the best equipment, you mean allowing the use of hidden equipment…?"
"Yes, please…"
"Be sure to wear a mask or something to hide your identity, understand…"
"OKkey…! "
Alright, now it should be fine as long as the multiple demon lord does not attack…
I told Julberg shi that I would return to the mansion to pick up my equipment and leave the place…
The maid I saved thanked me with glittering eyes, but this was not the time to glance at them, so I just greeted them back and left…
After returning to the mansion, I turned into Kuro and headed to Echigoya to settle my affairs there…
Lina and Tiane went to the room where everyone was wearing his equipment…
"Is the manager here…?"
"Sure…"
"I think the manager is in his own office…"
I took the manager and went to the underground vault…
"It shouldn't be a problem with a space this big…"
I gathered all the items other than those for battle inside the underground vault to my Storage through the Item Box…
I also collected battle usage items in one corner of the room…
"U-um, Kuro-sama, did something happen…?"
"In an emergency, put the people around in this underground vault…"
"I entrust it to you the right to command the golems in this room…"
After saying that to the manager, I gave him the Command Rod to give orders to the Orichalcum Golem…
This place was supposed to defend even against advanced magic, as long as it was only one attack…
I turned into Shiro and teleported to the royal palace to report, even though I thought they already knew…
This time I did not teleport to the Forbidden Library, but to a royal garden yard near the King's office…
The king has offered me to exclusively use this place to teleport…
I went to the King's office and saw the King and the Prime Minister having a meeting about something…
"Your Majesty, sorry for coming without warning, is that alright…?"
"Is Shiro the same…"
So he already knows that…
This is good because the conversation is going fast…
The Prime Minister standing next to the King made other civil officers to come out…
"Is this a coincidence, about the incident at the Julberg-shi mansion…?"
"Ara, Prime Minister…"
"There's that problem too, but I have another information…"
I told them that the 12th order knight acted together with the demon lord worshippers, The Light of Liberty and the people who attacked the Julberg-shi mansion from the sky were members of the Light of Liberty…
As it seems the captured tamers committed suicide before they could be interrogated, the Prime Minister was shocked when he heard this information…
Furthermore, I told them that the members of the Light of Liberty killed the poor in the underground tunnels of the Royal Capital, they might perform some sort of ritual…
"As expected of Shiro the same…"
"We also have something we want to tell you…"
The thing the Prime Minister said was largely the same as the Sera oracle…
It was not only from Sera, many temples in the Royal Capital reported something similar as well as it seemed…
However, a slightly different prophecy came from the elder miko of Parion's temple alone, "Calamity is under the sakura tree."
Fumu, under the sakura tree, that means one in the royal palace, I guess…?
"Then, if the Royal Capital is attacked by a greater demon or giant monster that the royal army cannot handle, please announce to the people to immediately protect themselves with shelter or the like…"
"I will defeat him as quickly as possible so that there will be no casualties…"
"There may be victims if they carelessly involve themselves…"
"As you wish…"
"Prime Minister, how much magic power is left of City Core…"
"The supply of mana declining from Source has become more numerous over the past few days, so, putting aside the wide area magic ritual, there should be no problem if it was only for the protection of the Royal Capital…"
After I said that to the King, he confirmed some information to the Prime Minister…
"Then, please act in a way that will keep the victims from showing up, understand…"
I told them and left the royal palace…
Although not yet 30 minutes after the assault on Julberg shi's dimension, three monsters with red rope-like patterns from before had appeared in the Royal Capital…
The difference was that every monster was weak at the 10-20s level…
Because of this, the patrolling knights could annihilate them efficiently…
After returning to my mansion, I changed my tone to Kuro and told Porina at the workshop with the Telephone magic to evacuate to the underground shelter…
"Yes, I understand…"
"What should I do with the workshop facility…?"
"Leave the facility…"
"Evacuate the workshop workers together with their families to the shelter…"
"If there's still room in the shelter, I don't mind if Porina accepts the people around you as well with your judgment…"
I forgot to call Nell, but Porina will probably tell him…
Aoi's son and Professor Jahad are together in Echigoya's lab, so they may be displaced by other employees…
Continuing, I also contacted the underground Orc with the Telephone magic…
This time I changed my tone to Shiro…
Switching when emergency is irritating…
"Ri Fuu, demons may come to attack the Royal Capital…"
"Evacate to a safe place if any…"
"If a teleport gate can be used, that one's better…"
"Don't say anything unreasonable…"
"It takes three days for the teleport gate to be activated…"
So the teleport gate has some kind of restriction…
"In addition, there is no place safer than where we are now…"
"If not, we can't raise the kids…"
"Then, can you put a barricade at the entrance of the village…?"
"For about three days at most…"
"Okay… "
"We can't refuse Shiro…"
"Is there anything we can help you with…?"
I looked and examined the places where the sacrificial corpses were located…
There were two such places near Ri Fuu…
I think I'm gonna ask them to help me…
"Can I…?"
"Give it to us…"
"There's a priest Heraruon as well, so we can perform purification rituals…"
I thank the reliable Ri Fuu and disconnect the Telephone…
When the incident has been resolved, I will serve it with liquor and food…
Just when I disconnected the call…
Some strange, uncomfortable feeling emerged from under my feet…
"Let's…!"
Ciel who felt the same strange thing raised his tail and ran to my body…
It hurts a lot when you wear armor like this, so please stop…
"There's something that feels evil…"
"Silk…"
It seemed like Ciel and Mia also felt a strange thing…
Red light dots appeared one after another in the Royal Capital…
Looking at their status, each of them was probably a red rope-like pattern monster…
"See…!"
"Out the window…!"
"Master, a magic circle-shaped object has appeared in the sky, so I report…"
Tiane and Nana reported, I looked out the window.
The Gigantic magic circle that covered the entire Royal Capital had appeared…
Apparently, the incident had happened completely…
I guess I'll become Shiro and destroy him quickly…
