Chapter 328 - Episode Twenty Eight - Continuation - The Fierce Leaders of the Fage Territory (3)
As I got closer to the mansion, I could see the whole thing more and more clearly.
I had thought that there was sothing bouncing around inside the two levels of the half-destroyed Lark mansion, but upon closer inspection, I realized that it was exactly ten Ortems, and in the center of the violence was a large man lying face down, curled up to protect his body.
“…… Peter, over there, on the second floor of the ruins of Lark’s mansion, are you sure that’s the main culprit?”
Peter made a slight sigh and nodded curiously.
“Yes, that’s the assailant from Riveras Kingdom. Right, Altamir.”
No, I know you’re trying to create that kind of tension.
But even that is a little ……
Altamir seems to have regained so of her composure and nodded, looking sowhat unhappy.
“Yes …… that’s it.”
That is the assassin ……
He suddenly appeared at Lark’s mansion, and fought against Altamir using his near-immortal body and his close-quarters magic and martial arts specialized for actual combat, and finally destroyed the mansion with a mysterious bombing spell.
“Help ! Help ! It hurts, it really hurts! Please stop!”
A grown man, crying and wailing, is left at the rcy of the Ortems.
…… Sohow, it’s different from what I imagine.
I had heard that Altamir and the assassins had already been settled, and that they had at least succeeded in capturing him alive, but I had not expected this.
It lowered the status of the Riveras Kingdom in my mind.
I an, this has nothing to do with Altamir. It’s mine.
“For now, let’s release him and put him in jail ……”
For a ti, he will be confined to the Fage territory, and then, like Marias and the others, he will be sent to a prison in another territory that houses important criminals.
“…… That strange appearance, a large body, and is sturdy. It’s the killing priest, Rathboutt. I’ve been marking him as the second most important person in the Riveras Kingdom since before the birth of the new Levi faction.”
If you are talking about this right now, the whole country will go down before the stocks of Rathboutt and others go up.
“…… If he the second most important, then Sateria is the first?”
“She is the most important person to watch out for now, but at the ti, I didn’t pay much attention to her before because she was unknown. At that ti, I was most concerned about Penrath, the alchemist who was feared as the devil’s brain, the demon with the head on a spike.”
“Ahhhh ……”
“He had been creating chiras against humanity many tis since he was young, which of course was against the basic tenets of Levi Church. And yet, because he kept on fighting against almost all the religious sects in the unstable Riveras Kingdom, he was assassinated dozens of tis, or even hundreds of tis, but he never relaxed his research. It’s not a funny joke, but in that sense, he’s probably similar to you. I believe he is now one of the four great priests of the Water God. I’m sure that man won’t be an easy opponent for you either, Abel-chan. As long as you’re hostile to the Riveras Kingdom, you’ll have to face him sooner or later.”
I’m sorry, I already defeated him.
I an, once, Peter-san, they passed each other when we were leaving the inn.
Penrath was the old man who you almost bumped with, who was fidgeting near the door, and Myunhi lost her temper, and you stopped her and bowed lightly.
We co to a point just in front of the site of the fage mansion.
My eyes t with the abandoned-like puppy-dog-eyed Rathboutt, the killing priest.
“Quick, stop this puppet, please! Please! Or destroy the skull that this vicious, lecherous witch must be carrying around!”
I glanced at Altamir in response to Rathboutt’s comnt.
Altamir snickered, glaring at Rathboutt’s abomination with cold eyes.
“I’m just trying to return the favor, since that guy gave a bad ti too.”
She seems to be very angry. Her look at seems to be cold too, sohow. She seems to be in a terribly bad mood.
What had Rathboutt done to anger Altamir, who had forgiven him for burning down this house and nearly a hundred years of research with a single gourd?
“First of all, we’re not going to get anywhere with this, so I’ll stop the Ortem.”
“Please! Plea- …… gobo!”
As Rathbout struggled to open his mouth, Ortem’s kick forced it shut.
Blood seeped from his bitten tongue, and it dangled from his mouth. Whoa …… that hurts.
My Ortem was never designed to take on sothing that can’t fly.
I didn’t expect that there was a person who was casting a spell-like curse on himself that could cause himself to experience endless torture.
I feel sorry for him, but honestly, I don’t think I’m that bad.
I don’t see the point in hurting him anymore, so I’ll let him go for now.
“What do you think, Abel? If we let the Riveras Kingdom goes unchecked, assassins equal to or greater than Rathboutt will attack us by surprise. We have no choice but to take the initiative.”
I know that.
It’s not that I’m not wary of their individual strength, but it’s the people around , a and Lark, who will suffer if we continue to let them off the hook.
Now that Levi has his eye on us, we have no choice but to settle the matter.
“…… It’s not very convincing, Peter-sama. If only he had been a little more persistent ……”
Myunhi, a close associate of Peter’s, saw Rathboutt in the midst of a violent uprising.
As I turned to look at her, Peter’s fist imdiately struck her in the back of the head.
Afterwards, Peter tucked his arms behind his back and straightened his posture, as if nothing had happened.
What Myunhi had just said must have been Peter’s true intentions.
Peter would like to take this opportunity to turn against them and eliminate the disturbing forces of the Riveras Kingdom.
Myunhi was not without a plan, but she must have slipped up when she saw how bad the situation was with Rathboutt.
It must have been quite painful because it made a very good noise, but now the mouth peeking out of the headgear maintains a straight line with no expression.
“…… Abel-chan, Rathboutt’s aim is obviously to pinpoint a-chan from the start. To be honest, at this point in ti, I don’t think they’re going to go to the trouble of targeting Lark, who can be replaced at will, with a two-pronged bait-and-switch. I don’t know if there was ever a ti for that, Altamir.”
“You’re right …… I’ve heard him say things like he wanted to kidnap a.”
“Ehhhh ……”
I raise my voice involuntarily.
I thought that she might be one of the targets, but I didn’t think that a was the primary objective.
“I know a lot about the background of the killing priest Rathboutt because I researched him beforehand. I’ve already told you that he was originally a mber of the Levi Church, right? At that ti, Rathboutt was infamous for sacrificing enemy prisoners, and sotis even his own allies, to Levi, humiliating their every dignity and torturing them to death for up to 400 days. By doing so, he would have given his entire person to Levi. I’m sure the religious denominations have changed, but that doesn’t an they didn’t do it again this ti. The new Levi faction doesn’t seem like a legitimate one to .”
“What ……!”
If I make a mistake, a would have been the one.
If it was the collector with the self-admonition sword Cudlarg and Amrita Full equipnt who ca to raid the fage territory, if it was the enemies of the God of Law Kudor class, then the ten Ortems would have been aningless.
I felt disgusted and irritated by my own shallowness and the way the other person was acting.
“…… Peter, aren’t you being a bit dramatic?”
Myunhi whispered sothing to Peter.
A quick backhanded fist struck her again in the back of the head.
“…… I was so naive in my thinking. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I’ve been taking it too easy. I’ll make a decision now. As soon as we’re ready, we’ll go out and take down Levi from here.”
“You’ve finally made a decision. I will spare no effort in providing logistical support. You can tell anything you want.”
“Peter-sama, you can’t promise that to this man ……”
“I’m ready. You know what they say, if you eat poison, you’ll end up a fogg, right?”
“Those are the words of a desperate adventurer who has been poisoned by his own saliva, Peter-sama!”
I once blocked Levi’s throwing weapon and making him lost an arm.
But Kudor didn’t seem to be fazed by the loss of ten tentacles.
I have no idea how far Levi can go in a serious fight.
But I will definitely win. I’m going to win.
I can’t drag a into this anymore.
“Let’s get ready as soon as possible. The sooner we get in, the better. We don’t even know how long we’ll be gone, so we need to make sure the alchemist division gets their instructions.”
I turned my body and decided to hurry to the inn where Lark and the others were.
“Um! Gebo! It’s about tim- gebo! You get out of her- bahohoho!”
Rathbout desperately reaches for , twisting his body in every direction.
“Stay that way for one more day, Brute!”
He not only bombed Lark’s house with magic, but also tried to kidnapped and planned to torture her.
There is no reason for to show any rcy. I don’t care if it’s one day, or even 400 days.
“I didn’t go that far!”
I resud my steps amidst the screams of Rathboutt.
a was right behind , but for so reason Altamir, Peter and Myunhi stayed hesitantly, looking at Rathboutt.
But when I turned around, they walked toward as if nothing had happened.
