Chapter 396 - Episode Forty-Two - The King of Destruction (5)
That completely did it.
Now lzef would not be able to get up again.
“What do I do about this guy for now ……?”
I said while glaring at lzef.
Should I put a magic formula in his arms so that he’ll never be able to carry anything heavier than a fork?
It’s cruel, but it’s not off the table. There’s a chance he’ll co after us again.
And then I can use the Ortem to forcefully deport him back to land.
“…… Impossible. Even though it is incomplete, for to lose even though I have a part of the power of the founder ……”
lzef gets up, his body twitching.
He breathes hard, shakes his shoulders, and looks at .
He then swung his arm and struck at .
But he already had none of the power of his previous mutated state.
He was bounced off by the Ortem that flew from the side and put my body on the ground again.
“The duel is already over. You know understand much, don’t you?”
lzef glared at and got up silently.
I’m getting irritated just looking at him in that sorry state.
“Why ……”
“…………”
“Why are you so desperate to kill your own daughter! You’re really the worst!”
lzef did not respond.
He just looks around at and the Ortem with a dangerous look in his eyes.
He is still looking for an opportunity to attack .
His every move makes angry.
“My father is a pushy, bossy man who doesn’t listen to if I try to go against his customs and push things too far. But when I was attacked by a magic beast, he risked his life to protect ! You, who risked his life to kill his own daughter, you’re no longer a father, or anything! You’re just a piece of sh*t!”
lzef stops moving. But he doesn’t seem to be talking back to my cursing.
This man fundantally doesn’t care about a.
He lifts the tentacles of Hydeem Magital from around him.
I was going to try to be as gentle as possible, but I was beginning to lose interest in that.
“Dafne, you know! He went to a lot of trouble to play the villain so that you wouldn’t have to deal with a! Besides, he’s been troubled for a long ti! He could have stopped chasing a as soon as you told him to stop! Isn’t that right?”
“You, you, what do you know!”
lzef shouted.
I was unexpectedly overwheld.
There were large tears flowing from his expressionless eyes like a Noh mask.
“You think Dafne and the others are good guys? I know they are! I wanted to tell them to stop, too! Isn’t that obvious! a, a is my daughter, you know! She’s the last living remnant of my beloved wife’s last attempt on her life! You’re only a dozen years old, what do you know about what I feel!”
“T-Then tell him to stop ……!”
“Yes, of course! If I tell them to stop, or even if I don’t tell them to stop, they’ll stop as soon as they show any sign of it! Even though they know that the red stone was a tool to turn all of us Doom tribe into Julem’s slaughtering puppets! If I tell them, they will indeed stop! There’s no way I could tell them!”
I fall silent.
I had thought that lzef was more like a cold, evil demon.
“How could you ……”
“All right. Then I’ll stop you.”
I waved my wand.
A flying Ortem knocked lzef off his feet.
This ti he should have lost consciousness.
“Gah!”
“Don’t worry. I want you to leave everything about a to . I won’t let her beco Julem’s pawn.”
lzef’s body flew into the air and was slamd into the mass of Hydeem Magital.
He didn’t get up again.
I transford a large Ortem, carved it into a tub with my wood carving knife, and placed lzef inside.
This should get him to the Dinrat Kingdom.
It’s not perfect, but I’d like to think that …… he’ll be able to handle it because he’s a monster too.
“…… I’m going to return your arm to normal. So please don’t co at again.”
The tubs drifted away to the land of the kingdom.
I decided to go back to the ship.
Although I had no choice, I was suddenly away from a’s side.
In addition to that, since a’s father smashed it, there is no Ortem to watch over her now.
Maybe I should’ve left at least three or four guard Ortem behind.
I’m sure they’ll be fine, but …… there’s always a chance.
I should go back right away.
I looked up at the sky.
“I can’t believe it’s gotten that big ……”
It was still bright, but there was a huge white circle floating in the sky.
It’s Moon Din. The Moon festival Dini is approaching.
It was ominous for .
But then a’s father showed up at the most inopportune ti.
It was the price I had to pay for running away, but I was glad that he had backed off, but Gizel’s appearance was also very delicately tid.
“No, the reason why Gizel ca was because of the fortune-telling by that Shim or so other underling of Julem.”
I muttered that much, and then I realized
There’s no doubt that Count Julem was trying to create an opening by turning Gizel against her own people in order to get a away from in the first place.
If that’s the case, I wonder if lzef was also led there for the sa purpose.
I think he was trying to shake my mind with Gizel, and if that failed, he would try to create an opening by attacking directly with lzef.
If that’s the case, there’s no reason why Count Julem wouldn’t target a at this ti.
He’s the one who was so careful with Gizel, letting Sim get into her and setting traps for her.
I’m sure he’s been making careful preparations for a long ti to be able to tear a away from at any ti he wants.
In the first place, the fact that lzef was able to pinpoint our whereabouts at the last minute was too suspicious.
I had been working with a small group of people to prevent the information from getting out, and I’m sure that Dafne, who was one of lzef’s top subordinates, had misled him.
It makes sense to think that there was soone who, like Gizel, gave him information and guided him right before he left.
It was lzef, who was desperate to kill a at any cost before fleeing the country.
Even if he hadn’t been able to get her to trust him when he was with Gizel, he could have reached out to her as an appropriate third party and gossiped about her, lzef would have had no choice but to comply.
“Don’t tell ……”
I’d like to think that I’m overthinking this.
However, I don’t want to doubt it …… but there is one person around who has been giving advice on what to do everywhere I go, just like Gizel’s travel guide was Sim.
And now she’s working with a.
It’s too much of a coincidence.
