68. The Chaos Fairy DIO Declares Establishment

Though Kephiel is kind, she is not the type to be a Mary Sue who must always play the saint. Faced with the enemy, without needing my reminder, Kephiel decisively thrust the chaos fairy Claudilus down with her sword, and then…

She elegantly pulled the sword out, without a hint of hesitation! Meanwhile, the script on my side appeared!

【Kephiel used the power of the Cosmic Thread to defeat the Chaos Fairy Claudilus!】

Indeed, with the help of the power of cosmic lightning, Kephiel, even against the now stronger fairy Claudilus, would not fall behind at all. Perhaps this time, Kephiel’s “script” in the Rosia Empire was developing just as the scene that just unfolded.

“Phew…”

I let out a long breath.

Although Claudilus lay motionless in the snow, looking nothing like someone who would suddenly ignite and rise stronger in a “second phase,” I still felt that something was off. Just as I was about to check the script, my thoughts were interrupted by a certain “Lightning Fairy.”

Cosmic Thread said it was “just temporarily observing Kephiel’s abilities,” but it really was just “observing”! Just now, having dealt with Claudilus, this creature transformed back into the form of a sword and flew back to me, waving its sleeve, leaving no trace behind.

I thought there would be a classic scene like, “Though Cosmic Thread is displeased, she still praised Kephiel with a tsundere attitude: Hmph, I didn’t expect you to be quite strong, this Emperor acknowledges it!” Instead, this fairy not only flew back to me…

“Hey, O’Keelid, did you just see this Emperor’s true power!?”

The first thing she did was ask for credit! Clearly, it was Kephiel who just defeated Claudilus, not you…

“Ha… Hahaha, really strong? Instantaneously defeating heaven, earth, and even air!”

Faced with this fairy who could get angry at the drop of a hat, I couldn’t think of a second response.

Complimenting a girl is merely a gentleman’s essential skill; I didn’t mind, but… Kephiel was a different story.

She probably didn’t want her hard work to be snatched away by Cosmic Thread right in front of me, and before I knew it, my dear fiancée’s tone had begun to take on a rather sarcastic edge!

“Hmph? Miss Cosmic Thread, you really had a tough time, didn’t you? Just like a primary school student trying to copy their desk mate’s homework, desperately clinging to Alsas’s sword, allowing me to finally defeat that fairy?”

As for the Demon Sword Alsas, it was even more straightforward and brutal.

“Stupid Rosian woman, you think you can steal our glory!? Scram!”

How could the “national treasure” of the grand Rosian Empire—the Fairy of Thunder—tolerate such provocation? So, it was easy to imagine that the scene before me was completely out of my control in the next moment.

“Suka Bulete! If it weren’t for this great emperor, you two would still be playing ‘Eagle Catches Chicks’ with that little O!”

“Scram! If it weren’t for the master, your broken sword would have been snapped in half by that b*tch long ago!”

They were arguing, but the way these two fairies referred to Claudia was surprisingly similar…

In any case, I had to find a way to get Jousi, Kfeir, and this Zuan fairy Alsas to quiet down. After all, I still needed to think about how to deal with Claudia. I couldn’t just leave that fairy buried in the snow…

However, as I thought about this, I suddenly remembered a serious issue!

Hiss… No! The content that appeared in the script was: 【Kfeir defeated Claudia】! And according to the script’s straightforward and blunt nature, if everything ended, the content should have been 【Kfeir stabbed Claudia to death!】 instead!

And this “defeated” could imply so many possible meanings and outcomes!

“Stop arguing! Hurry and look…”

Look at that fairy’s condition!

But the next moment, before I could finish my sentence, something changed in the position where Claudia was lying!

Just now, Kfeir had indeed stabbed Claudia solidly, bringing her crashing down from the sky! If it were an ordinary human, even if they weren’t killed, they should have been smashed to pieces. But then I remembered: Claudia wasn’t an ordinary human; she was a fairy!

So, did this defeat mean…

In an instant, Claudia’s body lying there transformed into wisps of purple smoke, but in its place emerged a purple light point floating away!

【Claudia’s main body was injured and fled!】

The script appeared, and this time Kfeir’s “defeat” did not mean “killed”!

“Not good! Kfeir, she’s getting away!”

I shouted urgently, but it was too late. Both Kfeir and Jousi immediately abandoned their earlier quarrel… or rather, their competition for favor, and turned around in a hurry. But that purple light point was flying away at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a tiny black dot on the horizon!

“Suka Bulete! Her main body didn’t shatter!? No, Kfeir! Where did you stab that woman just now!?”

Jousi’s surprised question made Kfeir show a hint of panic.

“Of course, it was the heart! Otherwise, where do you think would be more fatal!?”

“Nonsense, it’s the main body! A fairy’s body is constructed by itself, with a scythe and hammer for a heart! Only by destroying the main body can you completely resolve it! Otherwise, even if you beat it half to death, if you go back and have that woman Nilu fix it, she’ll be bouncing around in no time!”

“Enough!”

I directly shouted to stop the two women, who were about to argue again. “Arguing about this now is meaningless.”

The fairy was injured and fled, rather than being destroyed by us. These small flaws in our success could only be taken as lessons learned from experience. Kfeir and Jousi would need to establish their bond afterward; they couldn’t let such matters ruin their relationship.

“More importantly, Jousi, you should go back to Letty and tell her everything that just happened. Then we can figure out how to deal with the current situation.”

“Huh!? When can I, Jousi, tolerate being toyed with by that kind of b*tch! Watch as this great emperor chases her down…”

“You won’t catch her! Just obediently go back, Jousi!”

After all, the script has just given me a conclusion: 【Claudia escaped back to Nilu!】

With the script set this way, relying solely on the power of Zeus, even if I chased after them, it would be futile. A cornered enemy should not be pursued; I am already quite satisfied with this outcome.

My words seemed to carry more weight than Kephir’s. Although still reluctant, Zeus finally transformed into a stream of light with a “cut” and obediently flew back to Letty, leaving Kephir and me in this white, splendid scene, as if only the two of us remained in each other’s sight.

“……”

“Kephir, let’s go back.”

I spoke up, interrupting Kephir as she gradually moved closer to me. She looked like a startled kitten, blushing and hurriedly retreating a good distance away from me.

“Mm… mm!”

Whatever you want to do, you can do it when we get back. Doing it here, are you hoping for a live broadcast in front of all these people?
