Episode 164: The Prisoner's Body

After ordering dozens of demons in the reigning army to search for Peta, I sat down on the throne of the Great Hall and breathed heavily. The truth is I want to get some rest in my room too, but I also need to be able to move whenever I want, more than I know when Gabriel will move out again. Plus, I had enough sleep before the earlier launch, and I don't need any more rest.

…………

Close your eyes and Raphae's face will come to mind. It would be a lie to say you're completely recovered from the shock, but you can't drag it forever.

He was killed because of me, too. If at least burying Gabriel would be a sin to Raphael...

"... Phew."

The exhalation leaks unexpectedly. I thought Raphael had challenged me to fight for the destruction of Seal. And now I'm trying to fight for the destruction of Rafael. What an ironic fate.

The power of Raphael, who made me hunt him down. If Gabriel took it in, his power would be unknown. It is currently the most vigilant hate enemy. But in the end, the purpose for which he was murdering the wild demons was unknown. What's he thinking now...?

I can't read through Gabriel's thoughts. I'm terrified of myself. I have to admit that I am completely behind the wheel right now. I've screwed all kinds of enemies with overwhelming stats and spells so far, but I don't think so when I'm a Gabriel opponent. He doesn't want to fight me from the front in the first place.

Gabriel will do everything in his power to try to kill me. This struggle will eventually be the winner... yes my intuition was also told. But no matter how he tries to do it, the last thing he wins is me - the king.

"Excuse me."

After the sound of knocking on the door of the Great Hall, Henri came into the room. I have a basin with a cup in my hand.

"... Henri. I thought you ordered me to get some rest in my room.

"Also, I'm sorry. I was worried that something might have happened because I didn't feel more hectic today than usual..."

"... right"

"Was it annoying?

"That's not true. I'm sorry I bothered you."

"No, there is no annihilation."

I was going to pretend to be calm, but was Henri spotted? Apparently I'm more shocked by Raphae's death than I thought...

"If you like, have this tea. I don't know if it suits your mouth..."

"Mm-hmm. Henri, don't be shy."

I received a cup from Henri. [M] For a moment I imagined a purple drooling liquid like the demons were always drinking, but from what I saw it was a normal cup of tea that even humans could drink.

"Excuse me!

That's when one demon came into the great hall. I was telling the demons who ordered Peta's search to report the situation one by one, so I'm sure it would.

"We would like to report you! We are currently searching for Master Peta, mainly in the western part of the Devil's Territory, but we have not discovered it yet."

"You, you are being disrespectful while Yout is resting!! You want to be killed!!"

Henri stares sharply at the demon, as if he had also encountered his parents' revenge.

"- What!? Oh, but I'm sorry!!"

The demon cut the report along the way and left the Great Hall in a great panic. I sigh when I see it.

"That's too much, Henri. I only ordered him to report it in the first place."

"Oh, did I!? Oh, my God...!!"

"... Fair enough"

Then I stare quietly at the tea I received from Henri. When she looked at me like that, Henri tilted her neck.

"Master Ute, don't you want a drink? If you do not like it, we will replace it…"

"No, you don't have to. Henri, I want you to come closer than that."

"... Huh?

"As you can guess, the rest is very tired. I want to see your face up close and be healed."

"Dear Yout......!

Henri dyes her cheeks red and walks up to me. And I slowly pointed my left index finger towards Henri.

"- Spell [Hegemonic Missile]!!"

One [hegemonic missile] is released from the tip of the index finger. It was activated at close range, so Henri couldn't even flinch, and it burst into Henri's right arm.

"No, no, no, no!!"

Henri screams as she gazes at her right arm, which hardly fastens the prototype any longer. I watched this sight without any agitation.

"Dear Yout!! Why are you such a distraction!? Awwwwwww!!"

"You think you're upset? Make the farce approximate, Henri. No - Gabri!!"

The next moment, the scream stopped perfectly.

"... cuckoo. Nhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu!!"

Eventually a deafening laugh bursts. That alone made the answer plain.

"Big win ~! Yes, I, Gabriel! What a spell he was turning into Henri! Unlock the spell [Transformation]!

The spell was broken and Gabri revealed who it was.

"The appearance, the signs, the voice should have been perfectly transformed. How did you know that?

"I thought it was strange at the time you said 'I didn't realize' the rest of your thoughts. There's no way you could have responded to Henri's thoughts."

But that alone cannot determine that it is Henri's fake. Because there's no zero chance I really didn't realize it either.

"What I was sure of was a word you released earlier. Henri will never say 'do you want to be killed' or anything, no matter who the other person is. If you were Henri, you would have said," Do you want to hurt yourself? "

"... pup. Hahahahahaha! Seriously, Oi! Exactly. What a cliché!

"Odd, I guess I even planted poison in this tea. A soothing imitation..."

I throw away the cup. It hit the wall, shattered and scattered.

"But you can't blame Temei for this, can you? Because Temei has also used [Transformation] to deceive the eyes of scattered humans. Hey, Yout, it's you!!"

"... where did you go Henri?

Ignoring Gabriel's incitement, I ask.

"Mm-hmm, unfortunately Henri hasn't lost my fight. If you'd honestly accepted my date, you might not have had to do this. I'm scared of heartbreaking grudges."

"Shut up!! I'm asking where you did Henri!!"

I yelled. [M] I just want to get rid of this guy right away, but if I kill this guy now, I won't be able to get the key information.

"Yes, it's crunchy. Henri is locked up in our castle now. Don't worry, he's alive."

These guys' castles...... In other words, Henri will be in The Sanctuary of the Sky.

"So what happened to Peta...!?"

"Peta? Oh, you mean that kid. I left the hostages alone because Henri was enough. I'm not interested in young girls. Wouldn't you find it in there?

"... right"

There's no guarantee that everything this guy's saying is true, but I could hear what I wanted to hear. I don't need this guy anymore.

"Uh, yeah, I left a message from Henri." Never come to help, Master Euto. "Hey, that's a lot of loyalty!

……!!

"Now, listen to this. What is Master Ute going to do? Either way, if you're going to help, you better hurry. I wish I didn't want my dear Henri to be hurt. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -"

Without waiting for the laughter to stop, I release [the hegemonic missile] again. Gabriel's body, which was hit directly by a heart attack, vanished without a trace in less than ten seconds.

I'm tongue-in-cheek at the lack of response. Again, this guy is also separated...!!

"Yikes...!!"

More hatred for Gabriel rolled, and I shook my fist.
