Without answering to that question, Kazuki's gaze remained fixed on the Location Ring adorning his finger, its gentle pulsating still persisting.Raising his hand slowly, an air of anticipation filled the room, drawing the attention of Helena. Her eyes lingered on Kazuki's hand, a flicker of recognition crossing her face as she pieced together the significance of what she was witnessing."That... It's a Location Ring!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mixture of surprise and familiarity. Of course, she knew the ring well, for she was the one who had bestowed a pair of Location Rings upon her daughter. The rings were among the treasured possessions of the Agistria family, holding deep meaning and purpose."You're right, it is a Location Ring," Kazuki affirmed, his voice resonating with an almost reverent tone. "Livy once told me that this ring can not only pinpoint the whereabouts of individuals but also emit emergency signals when necessary."A sense of hope flickered in Helena'
***Dashing through the city's sewer tunnels at lightning speed, Kazuki was accompanied by Velda, who had transformed into her lizard-like form once again.He came up with this idea after vaguely noticing some openings in the streets while flying over the capital.Having obtained a map of the sewer tunnels, Kazuki decided to take this route.Despite being warned by Helena about the presence of hidden and foul-smelling monsters, Kazuki chose to proceed.As for the stench, Kazuki could easily endure it. And as for the monsters, he had Velda, whose aura alone could make high-level monsters tremble. How could the creatures in these sewer tunnels possibly be a threat to him?Well, if they were at the same level as the ones in the Erchellot Forest, Kazuki might have been cautious. However, after learning that the monsters here were not even on par with a Slime King, he had no worries at all!After dashing for half an hour, Kazuki finally arrived at his destination. Opening the manhole cover
"Is it really so effortless for them to betray me? Are they capable of acting against me without hesitation?"Livy couldn't comprehend it. She had earnestly planned to reunite them, even if their support had waned. She had been willing to accept that, to preserve their bond as friends.Unbeknownst to her, tears streamed down her cheeks, tracing a path of sorrow."Why has everything crumbled like this...?" she whispered, her voice raspy from the impact that had affected her throat.Her heart ached with a profound sense of betrayal. She had placed her trust in them, believing they would remain by her side despite her disadvantaged position as their friend.Sob~ Sob~ Sob~Livy reflected on it all, her tears mingling with the anguish pulsating within her wounded organs."How could I have been so naive to trust them... Such foolish faith..."And in that moment, the trust she had vested in her once-loyal subordinates shattered into countless shards, leaving her desire to ascend as Empress a
Kazuki, witnessing this attack, swiftly deflected the path of the sword with his tilted spear! Parry! Sriinnngggg!!!!!! "Ughh..." Kazuki whispered softly as he felt the terrifying weight of the attack, realizing that it could have potentially broken his hand if he had taken it head-on with his horizontally raised spear! Sringgg...!!! Seizing this opportunity, the knight's companions swiftly darted towards Kazuki with remarkable speed, each employing their own skills! "Sword slash!!" "Arrow stone!!" One of them, whose attack Kazuki had previously parried, now lunged at his side, swinging his sword towards his waist once again. Aware of their relentless assault from all directions, Kazuki quickly deflected the pressure to the side and swiftly leaped backward! Avoid! Jump back!!! Jumping back multiple times, shattering several stone arrows, Kazuki created some breathing room for himself. That's what he thought, before a sudden attack swiftly soared through the back of his hea
The knights, witnessing their comrade's defeat, gritted their teeth and swiftly shifted into another formation.Dashh!!Dashhh!!!Observing their movement, Kazuki assumed a serious fighting stance, distinct from before.Closed his eyes...Inhale...Exhale...Opened eyes...Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Kazuki reopened his eyes with a newfound seriousness."God of War..." Kazuki muttered those words.Instantly, his body was enveloped in a faint red mist, exuding an oppressive aura. His previously normal-colored eyes now had dark red pupils, emanating a menacing presence.This time, he was truly serious, knowing that he couldn't prolong the battle due to the limited time available.Serious...Furthermore, it seemed that they were now infuriated and ready to fight him with their auras and abilities.Just from that, Kazuki could tell that the next battle might turn into a truly brutal confrontation."This fight won't be easy..."Perhaps because it was his first time killing h
Szzetttt-!! Emerging from the depths of the mysterious Storage Ring was a formidable iron shackle adorned with intricate, enigmatic engravings. Its thick, black chains coiled with an air of foreboding. Kick-!! Brukkk!!! Klekk... In a swift and calculated motion, Kazuki delivered a powerful kick, propelling the unsuspecting knight through the air. He swiftly closed the distance, his foot landing on the fallen warrior's chest, ensuring his immobility. Kring! kring! kringg-! With a clink that echoed through the desolate surroundings, Kazuki forcefully restrained the knight, binding his hands with the iron shackles. The knight, now completely at his mercy, winced in both physical and spiritual defeat, realizing the futility of resistance against Kazuki's formidable powers. 'Shit.' These shackles, Kazuki knew all too well, were specially crafted to seal magical energies. He had stumbled upon a cache of these intriguing restraints while delving into the hidden depths of Erchellot's
In Kazuki's perspective, he is the type of man who would take anything that is deemed advantageous to him. Seeing that Livy can provide significant benefits, Kazuki chooses to pursue a relationship with her. The same applies to Shiori, where Kazuki decides to become her lover because he believes it will bring him advantages. However, it is important to note that both of these girls are not coerced by anyone else. They genuinely desire Kazuki. This is pure love that comes from the heart. Kazuki acknowledges that there are some drawbacks in these relationships, but the benefits he gains far outweigh them. Shiori is the daughter of a prominent businessman in Japan, and not many men would reject such an opportunity in any way. After all, who would foolishly turn her down? Only someone with mental issues or a very naive and foolish man would reject a beautiful and wealthy woman who sincerely expresses her feelings. However, at this moment, all those considerations are no longer relevant.
After the atmosphere lightened up, Kazuki walked towards Livy and gently asked, "Livy, are you feeling a little calmer now?" Livy nodded her head while giving a soft smile, indicating that she was starting to feel better. "Of course, Honey. I feel much calmer now," she replied briefly. Kazuki felt relieved hearing that. He carefully examined Livy's body, noticing the extensive damage and wounds she had suffered. "It's truly remarkable that you're still alive, Livy. With the small crack in your skull that reminds me of the first time we met, and the severe internal injuries, your vitality as a witch is truly astounding. Perhaps this vitality will also come in handy when we're playing in bed~," Kazuki teased with a mischievous smile while describing Livy's injuries. Livy blushed upon hearing the teasing remark. "Humphh~!! I'm definitely not inferior to you!" she retorted, sticking out her tongue boldly. Kazuki chuckled at Livy's enthusiastic response. They exchanged playful banter
*** The 29th Floor Defence, the monster known as "Shadowfang," was a terrifying creature. Its black-furred body enclosed powerful muscles, and its red eyes exuded killing intent. With sharp teeth and menacing claws, it was a deadly predator. "Grhhhhh...!!!" Kazuki faced it calmly, his sharp eyes looking at the monster. The Time Space Spear in his hand shone with a silvery blue light, hinting at the power ready to be unleashed. He stepped forward, ready to fight this monster. Dash-!!! "Roaarrr-!!!" The monster let out a thunderous roar, and its first attack came quickly. Kazuki dodged nimbly, dodging its sharp claws. In an instant, he was already at the monster's side, and with a swift movement, his spear stabbed towards the creature's shoulder. "Die for me-!!!" Croshhh-!!! The monster cried out in pain, but its attack became even more ferocious. Kazuki moved with great speed and skill, dodging the deadly attacks. He jumped into the air, avoiding the monster's bite. Avoid-!!!
*** The door of the room opened and King Ray entered the room with a firm step. Kazuki and the ministers greeted him. Without further ado, Kazuki immediately asked, "What is the reason for your arrival here, King Ray?" King Ray smiled calmly, showing his maturity and wisdom. He stated his intention firmly. "I will get straight to the point, I came to ask for help and establish a strong political relationship with the Arthia Empire led by you, Emperor Kazuki." Kazuki and the ministers were surprised by this request. However, Kazuki understood that this step could be the key to overcoming a greater threat and developing a strong ally. He stepped forward with a steady step, "Explain, King Ray. Why do you want us to be allies? Won't you be hostile by other Kingdoms?" King Ray explained about the threat that was threatening his country. He revealed that they had also faced terrible pressure from other countries, and even if that failed, they still had other problems in terms of food, a
*** The adventurers responded quickly, unleashing their best fighting skills. Move-!! Srasshhhhhh-!!!! The sound of weapons clashing, magic exploding, and battle cries echoed along the dark alleys. "Earth creation-!!" Booommmmm-!!!! Step- Dashhhh-!!! "Mage-!! A few steps beside the Tanker there is a barrel containing vampires hiding-!! So, quickly destroy it-!!" "I'll do it-!!" Roarrrrr-!!! Flash- The vampires tried to attack brutally, but the adventurers overcame their fear and fought back, but the vampires were easily suppressed by them because they had more numbers. The battle was fierce, with blood and sweat mixing, filling the air with a turbulent energy. Scrassshhhh-!!! Avoid- Split!!! After a heavy battle, the adventurers finally managed to defeat the vampires. The ferocious creatures turned into dust, disappearing in the night wind. The adventurers breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt admiration for each other's determination and courage. "Hahhhh... Hahh
*** In the negotiation room, a tense atmosphere prevailed as Kazuki put forth his opinion. "Aizen, I understand that your plan has good intentions," Kazuki said calmly, "but I have a different idea that might be more effective." Aizen stared at Kazuki in surprise but allowed him to explain. "What do you propose, Master?" Kazuki elaborated on his plan in detail, outlining how they could seek assistance from Hermit, the Head of the Adventurer's Guild in Nivaria City. "I believe that we can gain broader help and information through Hermit's network. Additionally, we can conduct our investigation more covertly this way." Aizen pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "You make a valid point. Let's involve Hermit in our efforts." *** Kazuki and Aizen agreed to invite Hermit to the headquarters of the War Division. Hermit was a wise and experienced individual who possessed extensive knowledge about the situation in Nivaria City. At least, he understood Nivaria City far bett
Sruuppttt... "Ahhhhh~" The morning sunlight streamed through Kazuki's bedroom window as he sat at his neatly arranged desk, sipping his coffee. Stare Stacks of reports and balance sheets lay scattered on his laptop in front of him, reflecting a busy activity after the thrilling meeting last night. Ring~ Ring~ Ring~ Suddenly, the communicator on his desk vibrated, but it wasn't an ordinary message; it was an emergency message. "Hmmm...? What's going on?" Kazuki quickly grabbed it and read the message. His face turned serious as he read the news about a vampire attack in the city of Nivaria and injured members of the War Division! "Vampire attack... and injured members?" Kazuki mumbled to himself, slightly puzzled. Until now, he hadn't known about this. Nevertheless, the situation seemed very serious since it warranted an emergency message. He knew they wouldn't use an emergency message unless the issue was beyond their control. He knew quick and precise action was required.
*** "Koga-!! Get over here and attack the bastard attacking from the tree-!!!" Koga roared madly when he realized that the attacks launched by these vampires were very diverse. "Okay-!!" Without much ado, Aizen immediately pointed his magic staff at the vampire and shouted, "Phoenix Rebirth-!!" In an instant, Aizen conjured a massive fireball with a diameter that was extremely large and directed it towards the vampire with a devastating power-!! Fireburst-!! Burn-!! However, the vampire easily dodged it. But before he could place his foot on the tree branch beside him, suddenly an arrow coated with white light pierced his heart. Thud- Crunchhhh-!!! "Aggghhhh-!!!!" Crash-!! And then, the vampire collapsed to the ground. Aizen glanced to his side, seeing that there were still around 12 vampires remaining that they needed to eliminate in order to secure their safety and gather information about them. "Aizen-!! Behind you-!!" Smirk... Hearing that, Aizen smiled slightly an
Kazuki showcases his expertise. All of his ideas and concepts in creating this game silence those who sneered at him. "The technology that can scan the brain and intricately map it into a computer, this is the technology successfully developed by America. Then, for the data processing part, the Chips from China are the best as they can process data much faster than other chips. And then the steps we need to take for..." Impressed- The implementation of VRMMORPG technology requires numerous trial runs, especially considering that the market reach of The Utopia will encompass the entire world. With this conference, Kazuki can attract numerous potential individuals from all around the globe to join him and expedite the perfection of the game. Infrastructure development, server maintenance, full dive creation, marketing, management, and other aspects require at least millions of human resources for that-!! Which will bring about a vast field of employment opportunities for the masses-
*** Actually, 12 hours before the major meeting at the UN headquarters, Kazuki met someone through his connection with President Ronald. That person was Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN. "W-what did you just say... you abducted them all, then controlled them-?!!!!!!!" Bradley shouted in disbelief, echoing in his quiet living room. Kazuki activated his "God of War" skill, causing Bradley to feel the aura and shiver in fear. “…!!!” In his own home's room, Bradley now resembled a trapped mouse facing its predator. "Bradley, if we eliminate the de facto power of a country within the UN, you are the highest-ranking person in the world. If you were given two choices, the first being a human, or the second being a demon, which would you choose?" Kazuki calmly said while crossing his arms. "What-what is that? Obviously, I would choose the first one." Grinned...!! "Huhuhuhuhhh, good! You've given the right answer. You know, in the world of politics, there are no etern
*** A significant news resurfaced, with world leaders arriving one by one in their private planes to attend a major meeting at the United Nations headquarters. Chairman Bradley, the Secretary-General of the UN, confirmed the truth of this news as he was suddenly contacted by all the world leaders to prepare for the meeting. "What is your response to the disappearance of the previous world leaders?" a reporter asked Bradley as he walked into the building. Shaking his head lightly, Bradley replied, "I don't know, and I don't intend to inquire about that from them either." The questions then shifted to other matters. Everyone wondered about the reason behind this sudden meeting. The current atmosphere was one of contentment due to the cessation of warfare, but the sudden news reignited fear among many as they speculated about the new topic that would be discussed in the meeting. It remained uncertain whether they would discuss war or something else that might be detrimental. And wit
