Novel Full Chapter 456: Rank S that Appeared
Chapter 456: Rank S that Appeared
As the massive explosion of the pseudo fanatic sword continued to cause great damage in the royal capital, I was searching for any sign of Fran.
We have a magical connection that allows us to sense each other's presence even when we are quite far away. Relying on this connection, I used the long-distance teleport.
「Wh-who is it!」
The one who was surprised by my sudden appearance was Stellia, the receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild. She was wearing bright red full-body armor, it's perhaps her equipment from her active days, and she was holding a huge mace.
Maybe, it's bigger than it was when she was active, but thanks to the size-adjusting magic, it seems to be equipped without any problem. It seems, magical equipment was like a living thing in many ways.
『I'm the master of Fran, the Black Lightning Princess. I'm not an enemy!』
「Hee…」
I'm quite suspicious. My body performance was at its lowest. I can't even move my mouth, so I has to use telekinetic, and my status is so low that it's hard to believe for someone like me to be Fran's master.
Furthermore, my doppelganger was dressed very poorly. Because I had created it into human form on the spur of the moment, I hadn't bothered to dress it. Because of this, my doppelganger was dressed only in shabby clothes, like a slave's.
It's pretty hard to believe for someone like me to be Fran's master huh.
「That little girls' master? Hmm…you don’t even look like a human tho…」
Huh, I didn't know Eihwaz was here too. Unlike Stellia, there's no hostility in his gaze. Instead, his eyes are those who looks at their Guinea pig though. He seems to intuitively understand that my body is different from that of a normal human. As expected of the mad scientist who likes to dissect things.
「Everyone, we will evacuate to the city outskirts! Hurry up!」
「I'll carry Master Gallus. You take care of Fran」
「woof!」
Eliante and Colbert appeared from the back. Colbert was carrying Gallus on his back, and Fran was strapped to the back of Urushi.
「Oh, Master Curry! So you're safe!」
Colbert notices me and rushes over to me, please stop with that Master curry!. however, it seems ease the suspicious glares from Stellia.
『A,aah. I see you're fine too』
「Yes. But the crisis isn't over yet. We're still evacuating the royal capital」
Eliante shared with me the information that Eihwaz and the others had brought. It seems that Velmeria is being controlled by the broken magic sword and is untouchable.
He said that Forrund was also there, but both of them almost died. She was so strong that makes Eihwaz had no idea what he can do, and showed Forrund her overwhelming power when he saw her.
In my mind, these two people are at the top of the list of people I don't want to fight. To put it bluntly, they're probably better than us. I can't imagine them losing. But even with the two of them working together, they were kicked to the curb in less than ten minutes.
In the end, he said, Forrund pursued Velmeria and Eihwaz came back to the guild to report the scale of the enemy. However, it seems that Eihwaz was able to contact Forrund through the use of a familiars, and he understood the situation right up until a few minute ago.
「Well, it seems that something happened to Forrund, and the familiars has died. It can't be helped」
『What happened?』
「That little dragon girl named Velmeria and a rank S adventurer started a fight. Looks like the Hundred Swords got caught up in it」
『A rank S adventurer? Was there such a guy in this country?』
As I recall, there was a rank S adventurer named Demitris in the Gilberd Continent. A genius martial artist who is the master of Colbert and the founder of the Dimitris style.
However, he said that it was not Demitris who appeared in the royal capital.
「It's not the immovable Demitris. It was my first time to saw him, but the one who started the fight with the little girl were also causing friendly fire. That was from Hundred Swords, then it must be true」
『Friendly fire! Ashwrath was here huh!』
「Do you know him?」
『Yea. So, he's fighting Velmeria?』
「That's right」
Isn't it pretty bad for Ashwrath to fight with Velmeria, who can easily managed two rank A adventurers? The damage to the surrounding area will be horrendous.
Well, if Ashwrath hadn't come, the royal capital would have been destroyed by Velmeria by now……
But there is a problem that cannot be ignored.
『Is Ashwrath…still sane?』
「Hou? What do you mean?」
『I can't explain it in detail, but Ashwrath was dangerous, he will going out of control the more they fight. It doesn't matter if you're friend or foe, When Ashwrath is out of control. He's really dangerous!』
No, you know that, don't you? That's why Eliante and the others are trying to escape in a hurry.
But will it save us? If Ashwrath were to go on rampage, the damage would not only be the capital but also the surrounding areas. Unlike that underground dungeon, he should be able to wield his power here without any restrictions. Will Eliante and the others be able to escape?
The best thing to do would be for all of us to get out of here, and for Ashwrath to defeat Velmeria early so he doesn't go out of control. It would be great if he could also save Velmeria's life.
The worst thing that can happen is that Ashwrath will go out of control during the battle with Velmeria, and the battle between the two causes great damage to the royal capital and its people. In some cases, Fran's and Eliante's live are also in danger.
What should I do? The easiest thing for me to do would be to get out of royal capital right now with just Fran and Urushi. Even with the rest of my magic power, I should be able to get pretty far away using teleport.
But if Fran woke up and found out that she was the only one who survived, abandoning Eliante, Gallus and the others……She'll be sad, she'll be devastated. Fran might not be able to forgive herself.
『If that's the case, I guess the least damaging method would be to take down Velmeria as soon as possible and prevent Ashwrath from running amok』
I'm not sure how far i can fight that monsters without Fran……It can even be said that I only have half the number of moves and half the power now. The only way I can beat her now is only with stealth.
No, in this case, stealth is important. It's impossible to attack her from the front anyway. If that's the case, the best thing to do would be to sneak up on the battle, and strike an effective blow at Velmeria, and give Ashwrath support.
『Understood. Then, I’ll go』
「Wa-, it's dangerous, even for you!」
『I'll be fine. I'm just gonna check on her. I leave Fran with you』
「Woof!」
I'm anxious to leave Fran's side, but I have no choice.
『It's in front of the castle huh』
I can still feel the huge magic power. I heard that the Count and the others have already evacuated the area, but Forrund must still be there. He seems to have been caught up in some unforeseen situation, but that man would not die so easily.
In some cases, we might even be able to fight together.
