66. The Sword of the Filial Daughter of Danloren!
Even if it’s a script, without the corresponding clues and encounters, it’s impossible to dig up every detail about someone, down to the color of their underwear. So… I have no idea what that so-called “Claudilus’s follow-up plan” was in the script.
All I know is: I deliberately separated from Kephiel; I took the risk of facing this fairy alone; I was frantically trying to escape with Jousi in my arms to give Kephiel the chance to use this opportunity to go to the lord’s mansion of the Leif family in the town, to capture those remnants of the “Patriotic Organization” who hadn’t come out, to avoid future troubles!
And now it seems, this has been a great success. Because when Claudilus saw the extra character that Kephiel was dragging along, begging for mercy, her expression immediately changed. Could it be that this fairy had some despicable means up her sleeve that required the use of these “Patriotic Organization” extras? Hmph, whatever it is, we have our planned actions!
“Kephiel, you lowly human!!”
Claudilus’s first reaction was to eliminate both the extra and Kephiel, but when would Kephiel give her that chance? Grabbing the extra, she dragged him over to my side, closely followed by Leiti and her advance team, who had sensed the commotion on our side!
Now, even Claudilus could only stare in disbelief.
I tossed a magic stone to Kephiel, who wasted no time slapping it onto the extra’s face, then lowered her voice.
“Speak quickly!”
“I’m sorry! Spare me! Spare me, oh brave warrior!”
The extra’s panicked pleas, amplified by the magic stone, not only reached Leiti’s team clearly but also directly transmitted to the Leif’s city defense troops.
“Th-the previous attacks were all done without Leif’s knowledge! Ivan Leiti never said anything about slaughtering the city; it was all fabricated by us for propaganda! The fighting, the war, it’s all a scam, all lies!”
As the extra wailed and confessed everything, my gaze shifted to Leiti, who had caught up. I had been trying to persuade and explain to her the misunderstanding with Leif, but unfortunately, given Leiti’s attitude towards the Rosian Empire, combined with this little midget’s fiery temper, even a whisper in her ear would only get her to the point of “willing to come and verify the truth of the misunderstanding.” In other words, if there wasn’t any decisive evidence to convince Leiti, she wouldn’t hesitate to pull the trigger.
Fortunately, with Leif’s actions and the “evidence” Kephiel had captured, it was enough to explain things to Leiti! The script appeared!
[Ivan Leiti realizes the misunderstanding with Leif!]
I let out a long breath; with the misunderstanding cleared, the script of the Rosian Empire falling into chaos also vanished, and I no longer had to worry about Leiti’s safety or that of the lightning fairy Jousi.
And next… it’s your turn, the chaotic fairy Claudilus! Without any concerns, revealing your true form is just a matter of glancing at the script and making a move, letting others say a word!
I kicked the extra’s backside that Kephiel was holding: “Is this it!? What else is there!? Who told you to do this!?”
“!” The extra, startled, immediately began to shift the blame, “It was… it was Nicholas’s brother! And that woman he called over! She’s the one who instructed us to do this! We’re innocent!”
Before he could finish, Kephiel had already tossed the extra over to Leiti’s troops. Whether they were innocent or not, they would just have to wait in the basement of the Rosian Empire’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, sipping barley tea while under the spotlight.
Don’t think of wasting our great Kephiel’s time; after all, I know all too well what my previous actions would attract…
“Eugilid… you… you…”
As I looked up, Claudilus in mid-air had openly displayed her hostility towards me. With all misunderstandings cleared and the truth revealed, I didn’t care what happened to those so-called “Patriotic Organization” members, but this fairy clearly could no longer stir up trouble in the Rosian Empire.
If she chose to flee at this moment, it would be fine to speed away with a few nitrogen boosts and turbocharges, but… Claudilus’s characteristics… no, I should say “weaknesses,” had finally been exposed.
Proud and arrogant, she wouldn’t choose to leave; in fact, her anger clouded her mind, making her forget her original purpose.
“You lowly human! You favored ant of the master!!”
The purple fairy flew towards me, claws bared.
Ah~ just like that, it should be like this! Otherwise, with you calling me “king” and being all sarcastic, I wouldn’t even be able to adapt to it myself. Just expose your true thoughts: you want to ignore Nilu’s orders and kill me, regardless of whether I’m a “king” or not. Isn’t that just perfect?
Anyway… I wouldn’t have gone to become one. It’s just that wanting to kill me is now a bit tricky, because next, Miss Claudilus, you will face my ultimate move—summoning my wife to fight for me!
This time… Kephiel won’t underestimate her opponent.
In the next moment, the flustered Claudilus had already forgotten Nilu’s orders and constraints. Magic gathered, and a dark purple light filled the crystal ball before her, becoming more chaotic and dangerous. Then, accompanied by something “erupting,” a flash of purple light suddenly flickered from the crack in the crystal ball.
And then…
A beam of light that seemed to want to annihilate everything erupted!
Originally powerful, and recently empowered by Nilu, the chaotic fairy now had her control over magic at an astonishing level!
It doesn’t matter! It’s fine if the script doesn’t include such content!
Because this time, Kephiel is different from before: we won’t underestimate our opponent; we won’t fall into each other’s traps; there’s no need to worry about “friendly fire” around us, only the icy expanse that benefits Kephiel…
In this “final battlefield” seemingly prepared for the protagonist of the script, Claudilus, what do you have to win against Kephiel!?
And next, it’s time for me, the “supporting character,” to step back and watch!
As my gaze fell, wielding the magic sword Alsas, Kephiel reached out to wipe away the thin layer of snowflakes that had settled on the blade. The vast snowy plains around her were Kephiel’s domain; the swirling snowflakes in the sky were her allies; drawing power, she unleashed the ice fairy Alsas from the hilt of the sword…
In an instant, a white flow of light burst forth, as if to sever that chaotic purple halo in two!
The magic sword Alsas is a solid ice that defends against all magic and attacks, and it can also be…
A blade that cuts through all magic and attacks!
