Soul Eater of the Rebellion

"My nose is about to bend... When I came here before, there wasn't any strong poison."

Ursula Utgarza turned her willow eyebrows away.

In the first flag, which consists of selected flagmen among the eight flags of Aomori, the sight of the tragedy inside the Kimon gate is reflected in the eyes of the female masters who rose to the tenth place.

For a long time, the magic of the Onigami - the soil exposed to the Onigami - rots halfway through, conveying a disgusting feeling of blurring through iron shoes. The rotting air is heavily wet, and poison is constantly exhaled from holes in the ground. A red purple toxin covered the area like fog, rejecting the existence of living beings, whether animals or plants.

Besides, the inside of the Onimon gate is barren and barren, but even worse. Even a demon can't get close to this area.

Ursula, who decided to do so, took out the handmade map from her pocket and quickly wrote down the newly acquired information. Ursula's mission is to investigate inside the Kimon Gate, for which reason she is exceptionally authorized to act alone.

Ursula, who has completed the necessary information, returns the heel and leaves the land devoured by poison.

The poison itself can be blocked with a strong defense, but it cannot be prevented from stinking. If I stay in this place forever, my nose will go crazy, and if the smell is on my body, it is worse. I swear to my heart I'll take a good bath when I get back to the fort.

The strangers - and the flagmasters of the wretched flag - will not even care about the smell, but it is not okay for them to become part of it. When I returned to Shuudo, I was sorry that Ayaka and Clyde made fun of me.

"... and yet, the fifth one just now. Too many coincidences."

Ursula snaps her eyebrows together. Speaking of what is the fifth, is the land that has been transformed by poison.

The wisdom that fills the inside of the Onigashima Gate is as thick as what is leaking into Onigashima Island. Naturally, everything in the gate is affected by it, the soil rots, the water is cloudy, the air is starchy, and presents itself in hell.

However, the area inside the gate is huge, and not all the land and all the water are contaminated with it. Ursula is now coming to scout the north of the fort - a stronghold created by the Daggers inside the Onimun Gate - but this area was relatively sparsely influenced by the Onimyo. At least when I came here a month ago, I didn't have this much poison.

It has deteriorated considerably in a short period of time. In fact, Ursula felt a thunderbolt.

The occurrence of a thick poison means that the spirit has intensified. And the strengthening of the wisdom implies that the power of the wizard gods is being activated.

Behind my head was the recent arrival of a demon god in Shuudo. There is no denying the possibility that that event led to the reinvigoration of the Onigami - when Ursula thought of that.

Screaming! Scream! Scream!

A metallic roar echoes around, and several monsters interrupt Ursula's path.

Eight creepy red eyes. Eight legs reminiscent of a spider. With the wisdom to ambush prey in multiple ways, and mastering the art of turning off signs, the monster's name is Earthspider.

Four cannibals (man-eaters) once confronted by the sky on Onigajima surround Ursula.

The soil spider, nicknamed "New American Killer", is an indispensable opponent for the Blue Forest Flagsman. It would be even worse if we were to deal with more than one at the same time.

But Ursula's face is not nervous. Someday a sword was in his hand. There is no ornament on the handle or Tsuba, but only the sword is red as if it were wet with blood.

"Let's go, Thunderflower."

Like Ursula's voice, the outfit lights up the red sword slightly.

The battle that followed was closer to genocide than war.

A blade of divine speed that won't stop until you cut your enemies once. There are not many monsters that have been slaughtered with sparkling sharps like lightning, and it is said that when Ursula Utgarza runs through the battlefield, all the grass and trees will fall to dust.

In the sequence of eight flags in the blue forest, it does not extend to Ayaka and Ragna, but the ability and achievements in the actual battle are no less than those of the two.

Her nickname was Princess Zhu. Or Reaper Utgarza.

Four earthspiders torn apart in thousands proved that the names never fell.

Ursula, who overtook the monster's assault, will return to the fort once and for all to report the facts uncovered in this investigation.

--This was when I learned that my friend Claire Berch had left the island.

◆ ◆

Ursula walks through the fort with a high sound of shoes. Along the way, I ran across a few flagmen, but nobody dared to speak to Ursula now, filled with cold anger at her glamorous beauty.

Ursula does not ignore these reactions and goes straight to the back of the fort - the flag general's room today, Deirt Berch.

Inside Ursula's head was one of the things I heard earlier about the island of Kraya.

As expected, Craia, who escaped the Berghi family without caution, was found in combat by a flagman belonging to the Berghi family when she left the mansion, slashing several people and fleeing. You decided that you could not escape while in Shuudo. Although you tried to escape into the Onimon gate, you were prevented from doing so by the flag flagmen who were on strict alert during the demon raid earlier. I ran away from the island.

Ursula, who had heard of a series of tentacles, snapped with a groan that it was impossible.

Out of the island refers to the unauthorized departure of the Aomori flagman from Onigashima Island and is judged by death without exception. No one has succeeded in crossing the island in the last three hundred years.

There's no way Claire doesn't know about it, and that thoughtful friend of yours could have done such a foolish thing. If Kriel's actions were true, there would have been an inevitable circumstance. From the fact that they first headed for the Wiki Gate, something about the Wiki Gate must have forced Clyde to act foolishly.

Ursula can't imagine what that is. If anyone knew, it would be only the Berghs. That's why Ursula is on her way to the flag general today.

Ursula's anger won't cool off on her way to Dialt.

In general, it is strange in itself that Krai's discretion continues - I think so with anger. Gozz and Crimut, who had the same insanity, were allowed back in time, even though they were certainly insane outside the island. Why should Claire be so careful all the time?

It is strange to say that a flagman escaped a claire who tried to cross the Wiki Gate without permission.

Indeed, Craia has excellent skills as a flagman, but it is still difficult to compete with several of the most elite flagmen of the Blue Forest Eight flags at the same time. The continued caution would have weakened his health, and the fact that he had recently taken on Berch's flagman suggests that he was exhausted.

It shouldn't have been difficult for those who were on the defense of the Wizard Gate to capture Klein. If we had stopped Craig at that point, we could at least have prevented the crime of desertion.

Ursula feels angry with her unknown colleagues about what the flagman was doing.

At that time, the deep voice of the man trembled Ursula's ear.

"Your eyes are hanging. Where are you going with that face, Ursula?"

It was Kumon Sook Ya, the deputy general of the flag, who interrupted Ursula with a calm voice.

When Ursula bowed and tried to respond, Shukuya began her mouth shut.

"I heard about Claire and came to ask the flag general (today) about it. Is that where it is?

"You're right."

When Ursula answered with a hard voice, Shuya invited Ursula to her office saying, "If that's the case."

Shukuya is the real brother of the Kumon Festival, a synchronization of Ursula, and has known Ursula since before he became a flagman. And Claire, of course. It is not unrelated to this incident.

The warm Sook Ya had a popularity with the flag flagmen, and Ursula didn't leak to this example, but she was reluctant to follow Sook Ya because she wanted to hear the situation directly from Dialt.

To Ursula, Shuya tilts the balance of decision by telling the truth.

The flag general is back at the Berch residence in Shuudo today.

Ursula, who entered Sook-nai's office, presented her thoughts to the deputy general in front of her.

In contrast, Sook Yat nodded and replied slowly.

"Your thoughts are about the same as mine. On top of that, let me clear up some questions. First of all, this is why the flagman couldn't catch Krea at the gate, but I have it."

"... what does that mean?

"I let Claire escape. At that time, Craia clearly lacked calm. It was so full of strength that I didn't think it would be after a long time of caution."

It was as if she had taken the all-purpose medicine (Erik Seal) - Sook said that at night.

Of course, no matter how powerful Claire is, it's not going to be a double sober night. If I wanted to fight, I could fight. However, Sook Yee, who knew Claire well and was still hoping for the future as a pillar of the Dagger family, refused to make that choice and tried to capture Claire intact.

In response to Sook Yee's attempts to retain his flagman and capture Chrya, Chrya attacked him with abandonment.

"It was a blow like a suicide bombing that triggered a suicide bombing. To be honest, I had a rough time."

"How far did Claire go...?

"Ah, I was so obsessed, I let him go."

Even in Sook Yat, I didn't think that Cria would leave the island, so I prioritized confirming the situation over chasing Cria. Like Ursula, we thought that there was a good reason why Krea had committed such an outrage.

Even if he pursues Craig without knowing why, he will only continue to resist. If that happens, you'll have no choice but to kill.

― ― It may already be too late at the time when Sook Yat and the blade crossed, but as a party, there is a defense. Sook Yan thought so and sent an envoy to the Berch Mansion. He also met with Dialt and Gilmore in person to discuss the situation.

As a result, the principals of the Kumon family are stunned by the revealed facts.

Crimut is dead.

"... eh?

"Crimt repeatedly begged the Sith (Gilmore) to relieve her of her sister's discretion. In contrast, it seems that the Sith Temple made it a condition of forgiveness to attack the king Azma, the head of the demon clan. And Crimt fell upon it to the gate, and lost his life. Claire must have been confused to know about it, Sister."

"Well, please wait. Crimut's dead? Did you enter the Wizard Gate by yourself? And I've never heard of a plan to destroy the Demon King!

"Of course. I was a lieutenant general, and I didn't know."

"... the Berghi family's arbitrariness?

Ursula asks with a cold voice.

Send Crimut to the dead on condition that he helps his sister, and then blow Crimut's death to get Crimea to break the code, and we'll take care of him.

In Ursula's eyes, a series of events only seemed to be Berch's conspiracy to get rid of the obstructors.

However, the next word that came out of Sook Yan's mouth was a question mark for Ursula's guess.

"It's not arbitrary. Mikane-sama was aware of this."

"Huh!?

Sook Yan told Ursula in a low voice.

"To tell the truth, I thought about something similar to you at first. Maybe he tried to get rid of the two adopted children, who were no longer needed in the Berghi family. However, if the museum was aware of a series of actions, the story would change."

If the aim of the Berghi family is to dispose of the two, and our main party, Yukibu, admits it, then there is no need for small work. It will be done by ordering Dialt to kill them, and then by charging them with the right crimes. You could say that you were killed in battle in the Wisp Gate.

However, with the permission of the ceremony, the Berghi family secretly sent Crimt to the Onimon gate. What does that mean?

It is hard to imagine that Crimut expected to defeat the Demon King. After all, we should assume that Crimut's failure has already been broken.

It is likely that the subsequent actions of Craig were also included in the plan.

Perhaps it was as calculated by the mastermind of this plan that he was at the Wiki Gate at that time - Sook Yan thinks so. Perhaps the mastermind thought that he would not inadvertently kill Claire himself.

Assuming that this speculation had fired a shotgun, the mastermind would have predicted that Craia would pass through the island.

When she ran away from Sook Yat, Claire would have thought.

--I have to go through the gate to help my brother. But I can't pull the guards of the Onimun Gate by myself. I cannot allow myself to rely on my friends. I choose the path of turning the House of the Sword into an enemy. It's the worst option I've had in the last three hundred years that no one has ever been able to live as a whole. How can I accompany a friend?

Still, my brother wants to help. We must help.

That's why we have to ask for help.

With the power to outperform the Blue Forest flagman, and without fear of turning the swordsman's house into an enemy, he even retreats from the Onigami god, to such a person....
