To Be a Power in the Shadows!

Um, Iris Midgal lost with just one knife.

Doem stood before the reality.

Doems living in the world behind them know the powerful beyond Iris Midgal. But even with the strongest demon swordsman known to Doem, can he fulfill and break Iris with a single knife?

No.

If it's not a surprise or a coincidence, I can't do it first.

I mean, this isn't supposed to happen.

Jimina, who tore Iris with a single knife, is what makes him the best demon swordsman Doem knows.

Such a young man...!

The more moments he gets run over from the bottom, the more his pride is hurt.

The consternation that was in Doem's heart was smeared with jealousy that burned up before he knew it.

My brain rejects and denies Jimina.

There must have been an element of coincidence in Iris' defeat with a single machete. Even if it wasn't a coincidence, there are compatibility issues in the fight. It just so happens that Iris may have been an easy opponent for Jimina to fight.

Other times, Iris' inexplicable behavior is questionable. Suddenly, he stops to be vigilant about something, or circles around Jimina senselessly. Eilis was not feeling well, or Jimina would have used some kind of handkerchief.

There are as many ingredients that deny Jimina's strength.

But still.

Doem's instincts were about to give in to this Jimina sword.

He realized that Jimina and I were seeing a different world.

The theory of struggle is fundamentally different. No matter how many centuries I train for, I will never catch up with this young man. So much so that Jimina's sword was sophisticated. His sword is sharpened like the only unique work of art, as if he had worked out the excellence of every martial arts.

At the same time denying Jimina's strength, he admired Jimina's sword just like a boy.

At an early age, as I admired my master, Jimina's sword had the magic to attract samurai.

Gilli, and. Doem's teeth snapped.

I can't accept it.

As yet, this young man has not been determined to be the strongest.

Doem knows a number of powerful people. But I have yet to see the full strength of the Order's top executives.

So the strongest thing is, it's not Jimina.

"How did Master Beatrice see this game?

Doem heard Jimina craving the word of denial.

Beatrice looks to Jimina with blue eyes peeking from her robe. What was in those eyes was... admiration.

"... I want to fight"

"What?"

The moment Doem tried to ask for his sincerity, the venue turned.

When Doem saw the playing field, he was there......

"Rose Oriana......"

Doem's cheeks distorted like a mockery.

Are you here?

After all, she's a stupid woman. The kingdom of Oriana and the king, it's too late. The puppet king is out of his shell already. Thanks to this, he also owns the country's centre. It's the princess's sweetness to show up without understanding.

Doem hid his mouth so that he could not understand the distorted grin, and came forward with King Oriana.

"My dear Princess Rose. You're finally back."

From the special room there is a single staircase that leads to the playing field. Doem accompanies King Oriana down the stairs.

"Rose, well done. I'm back. Come on, come here."

King Oriana utters the word at the behest of Doem. Heartless, loose shell words.

Doem gives instructions with his eyes to the subdivision as he goes down the stairs, ready to secure Rose at any time.

Rose comes up the stairs.

"Father, I came to apologize. Things that have been, and will be... I made and will continue to make mistakes. But I, as princess of the kingdom of Oriana and as your daughter… am on the path of my faith"

Rose's voice was trembling. And there were tears in those eyes.

But Rose's eyes were still determined.

Doem instantly read it and took a step back.

Let the king precede him first.

If you shield the king, this woman can do nothing.

As long as there is a puppet king, all Doem's plans will work.

"Forgive me for my sins."

That's what King Oriana said. That was a word that Doem had not instructed.

"Thank you, Father"

From then on, it was a flash of events.

Rose pulled out her hips sword, Doem reacted and hid behind the king.

Doem's men move out.

But Rose was too fast.

Doem opens his eyes in amazement.

"Nah!?

Having left everything behind, she pierced King Oriana's heart with that fine sword.

"As a princess, and as a daughter... this is my last duty"

The king's hand, which moved to embrace Rose, drooped with loss of strength along the way. The fine sword does pierce the king's heart and pierces the belly of Doem behind him.

"Thank you for everything, Father."

And she pulled out her sword.

Blood sprays from the king's heart, and he collapses.

Her eyes finally overflowed with tears.

"Ki, you're awwwwwww!

Doem screams.

There was also blood from Doem's belly. But it's not fatal.

His anger lies in the loss of the puppet. Doem's plan - shattered.

"Get him now. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

My subordinates will kill Rose.

Rose didn't run away.

She put the cutting-edge of that fine sword against her own neck, looking at Doem and laughing.

No way...

Doem's face turns pale.

"Ya, stop, stop. Whoa, whoa!

And Rose tried to stab a sword in its neck, at that moment.

- Is that your choice?

A glimmer as beautiful as art sank away Rose's sword and the sword that surrounded her.

It was the mediocre youth Jimina who showed up there.

"Oh, you..."

But the sword he possessed was a pitch-black sword as deep as the darkness of night.
