When I easily tossed the 6-star skill orb back to the Marshal, he had a puzzled look.
(I originally intended to return it, thoughâŚ)
I think I saved Sumeriaâs life by pulling it out. Had she continued to useăInsane Bladeă, the skill orb would have surely robbed the girlâs life. I donât know if she used the skill orb aware of that fact or not, but I couldnât find it in myself to leave her to her fate.
My purpose is to release the Levs. Thatâs all.
Compared to Dragonewt City, the Underground City seems to be in possession of skill orbs, but even so, I donât think it is in abundance when looking at most of the people around.
That would mean the chances of having a rare skill orb likeăOrb Detachment â â â â ăwill be next to none.
If they did have one, then thatâs fine. If they intended to take out the skill orb later, that is.
But if they didnât, Sumeriaâs death was all but sealed.
(I donât want Sumeria to die after everything I did to save her life.)
Speaking of what would happen to Sumeria if I chose not to return the skill orb, she might have been abandoned because she isnât âneededâ anymore. Food supply is tight in this world.
However, if I return the skill orb, she will be useful.
She will be used to confirm the information I gave. And in the future, when considering how to use the 6-star skill orb, Sumeriaâs input as a living witness will be indispensable.
I donât need such an atrocious skill.
(Now that I think about it, all the 6-stars skills I have encountered have been dangerous. Perhaps the Knight Commanders of the Kruvan Holy Kingdom who inherited theăHoly Sword Technique â â â â â â ăfrom generation to generation do not fight on the front lines probably because of adverse side effects or perhaps the cost to use the skill is too high.)
Well, at any rate, my purpose here was fulfilled. The surroundings have been destroyed and scattered with debris, but that was not my fault\n
When I was about to chase after the Levs and escape, an underground woman who looked like the boss of an evil organisation appeared and suddenly started screaming.
ăI never expected anything from you since the beginning! If you canât do it, just say so!ă
ăSorry, Iâă
ăGet out of my way!!ă
The Marshal almost fell when the fat woman pushed him aside, but he was able to avoid it. Even though I already returned the skill orb⌠Wait, I donât think the woman is even aware of it.
ăBastard⌠Iâm gonna kill you for rampaging in my city!ă
âŚSumeria wasnât the underground cityâs strongest fighter?
I raised my guard in response.
ăCome out! Mediator!! Your enemy is here!ă
At that moment, the surrounding was surrounded by darknessâmy train of thought halted for a second.
Mediatorâ.
The being I encounter at the First Altar in the Holy City.
It killed Louis and took over his body.
It screamed something about the Covenant, and at the end it summoned Ouroboros and disappeared.
A being which is equal to a dragon in the âFront Worldâ.\nAlthough the surroundings were dyed black, the light from the magic lamp carried by several people was still radiating. I saw the people in the surroundings trembling.
ăâŚWhy have you called for me, pledger of the Covenant?ă
Heâs above.
Standing with arms folded in the air as if there was scaffolding in the sky.
The body was clad in dark purple metal armor, and black flames were spouting from the gaps.
The full-face helmet had gaps for the eyes. Red eyes were peeping through it.
ăAs I said! Your enemy is over there!!ă
Only the woman who called the mediator seemed cool with this situation. Those who followed around her were astonished.
I finally regained my composure.
Right. The âBack worldâ is the mediatorâs home, isnât it?
ăYou are⌠the Child of Disaster!?ă
I sensed discomposure in the mediatorâs voice when he noticed me.
ăCan you stop calling me that? It bothers me a lot.ă
I have gone through a lot of hardship all my life because of black hair and black eyes. I had close encounters with death several times. My parents abused me and wanted to kill me. The Duke at the Sixth Mine also wanted to kill me. And then I was chased by House Ebene, one of the 6 Great Duke of the Holy Kingdom.
What did I do to deserve all this?\n\nHis fist came down on me like a lightning bolt descending from heaven.
While dodging back, I usedăEarth Magicăto erect an earth wall in front of me.
The mediatorâs fist connected with the ground where I stoodâthe ground caved about 1 meter deep, and shock waves were sent through the ground. The boss woman was blown away with all her attendants. My earth wall crumbled away, so I planted both legs firm on the ground.
Whether it was because of the explosive sound or not, all I could hear was a high-pitched sound in my ears, making it difficult to hear the surrounding sounds.
ăYou are not related to the Covenant, but you must be eliminated.ă
Although it was hard to hear, I know I heard something unpleasant.
He called me a âdisasterâ, and now is trying to directly eliminate me.
This guy killed Louis, killed the knight commander, and not only messed up the young ladyâs skill orb awarding ceremony, but also summoned Ouroboros, which wrecked a number of houses in the Holy City.
I donât know about the casualties, but surely there must have been a lot of injured people. It would also cost a lot of money to rebuild the houses.
You donât care about all the trouble you caused, do you?
âŚAh, no matter how mild-mannered I am.
ăNormally I donât use these words, but I canât think of anything else.ă
