Chapter 257.2. It’s Punishnt Ti!
Upon the simring magma, Miu descends gracefully. She adjusts her wrist, returning the Radiant Sword to its base form.
ga Queen tries to rise and make a strained tallic noise, but it sinks into the magic-charged magma. Its legs lt away in the molten goo.
“You can’t fight anymore, can you? How about so questions?”
Walking calmly atop the magma, Miu approaches the fallen ga Queen. She questions it while remaining composed.
Miu’s feet don’t sink into the magma, nor does the intense heat affect her. This scorching hellish environnt is her creation, brought forth by her magic.
“Grr, I can still fight!”
Raising its shattered and partially severed foreleg, ga Queen attempts to struggle.
“It’s pointless.”
With a cold expression, Miu lightly slashes the Shining Sword horizontally. The foreleg is sliced into sections, becoming fragnts that dissolve and sink into the magma.
With its mana nearly depleted, ga Queen no longer possesses the power it had monts ago. It can’t harm Miu anymore.
“So, a question. Why did you try to kill ? And you sacrificed your daughter for it.”
“B-Because you were a hindrance. I need to crush your noble line.”
“nou Marquisate possesses an overwhelming fortune. There should be a way for them to recover. I think you didn’t have to create such an absurd magic weapon and squander your resources.”
ga Queen’s funding must have been outrageous. It wouldn’t be surprising if the developnt costs reached trillions.
They likely exhausted all the precious treasures and rare minerals owned by nou Marquisate. The response seems far too unnatural.
As a noble, even if they lanted this incident, they would endure and plan for a revival. Especially for a cunning Marquisate like the nou family.
“You’re an obstruction. Your existence is troubleso. Th-That’s what I’ve been told…”
Noticing an oddity in his tone, Miu narrows her eyebrows. Sothing seems off.
“Last question. The magic stone used in ga Queen, it’s the sa Queen Ant magic stone that once offered to the Emperor, right? It was supposed to be securely stored in the Royal Treasury.”
Exhaling softly, Miu speaks in a determined manner.
“Who took out the magic stone? It couldn’t have been the Emperor’s Faction. They didn’t need to erase Miu to that extent, and it’s unlikely they had such a powerful connection with the opposing nou Marquisate.”
It had been Miu’s doubt for a while. She had been questioning it for so ti.
“Who instigated you? No, who is controlling you?”
In the original story, the Royal Family mbers were easily killed one after another. They were diminished through rebellions and attacks.
Initially, I had assud the imperial family mbers were just foolish, but the Emperor I t during the audience seed intelligent. He seed to be sowhat cunning.
He wasn’t the sort to be casually manipulated by Duke Kanna’s sches like in the original story.
This discrepancy had been bothering , leading to question why Duke Kanna’s plans were so successful.
And it seed I had finally reached the answer.
“You don’t have to answer. Is it one of the Emperor’s most trusted aides? Soone who rarely appears in public.”
Though they should be the Emperor’s closest aide, I have a strong hunch about soone who rarely appears in public.
If anyone could accomplish this, it would be that person.
They’re diminishing the security during the Emperor’s important ceremony. For example, the coming-of-age ceremony, where his prestige was at stake.
They were inciting Nagamasa, who has the [God Armor] and overwhelmingly strong abilities but an odd complex, to betray the Emperor and the Royal Guards.
They were monitoring Seina’s actions and setting traps for the Royal Guards.
They were delivering incorrect information to prompt monsters to attack Nobunaga in the future.
Similarly, the Emperor also gets assassinated unexpectedly.
And thus, Shin is crowned as the new Emperor. That’s the plan.
They go unnoticed by everyone. They’re the one who can make it happen.
This individual can move secretly in the shadows, taking action without anyone noticing.
“Who’s going to tell you that? Dieee, Takano Miu!”
Fen screams as if he’s gone mad. Then, ga Quen’s chest opens, revealing a magic circle comprised of rubies imbued with magic.

As mana explodes like a flash, he releases fla-like beams of light.
The ground gets upheaved, space gets shaved away, and a scorching inferno approaches.
It seems he had hidden his final trump card.
“Now I’ll show you the most powerful Grand Mage’s ma~gic!”
However, Miu’s ice-blue eyes harbor a profound darkness. She extends her small hand, casting a shadow over the approaching inferno.

[World Freeze]
From Miu’s palm, a blue light radiates, illuminating the surroundings.
This azure light is the power of Miu’s magic, possessing a terrifying might that transforms the world into an icy realm.
The world bathed in azure light freezes and cos to a halt with a resounding noise.
The scorching hell transforms into a world of azure, and snowflakes flutter from the sky.
The inferno freezes into pillars of ice while retaining its fiery shape.
And ga Queen has transford into a shimring ice sculpture.
Now immobilized, its body has turned into nothing more than an ice object.
“It seems Mii-chan’s final trump card had more power!”
In the world of silence, Miu’s voice resonates.
And so, ga Queen crumbles into icy particles, falling apart.
-Destroyed ga Queen. Killed nou Fen. Destroyed a coconut-
The log is displayed, and a cold breeze brushes against Miu’s cheeks.
She brushes her hair disturbed by the wind and tilts her head.
Coconut? What’s that?
Could it be that Coconut was Ymir’s true form?
Perhaps Munin couldn’t analyze Ymir because, judging by the na, he wasn’t a living being. I see. That makes sense.
