***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
"Hmm...?" Kazuki turned to the side to see what was happening there. He turned... He saw a large group of guards running towards him. Kazuki effortlessly dealt with them, until he heard the words that had grown tiresome to him. "She is a fake Princess! Why is she here?! Capture the fake Princess!!" Upon hearing that, veins popped in his head. "Fake Princess, you say?" Kazuki muttered as he looked at the guards rushing towards him. Livy, noticing that Kazuki was getting slightly angry, tried to hold his hand and said, "They might have been brainwashed. Just leave them be. Besides, killing them would only trouble us and waste unnecessary time." "I see..." Since Kazuki was advised against killing them, he had another idea to deal with them. He grinned... ... Because he still had a few seconds before Velda completely transformed. Dashhh!! Kazuki shot towards them at a tremendous speed, arriving in front of the guards. Stopped-!! The guards, startled by the man's sudden appear
