Chapter 77 (1/2)

Trap

“Alright, then let’s begin the 3,998th meeting of the People’s Army Supreme Council~!”

With the awfully careless scarlet-haired girl’s announcement complete, a giant clapped his hands.

“Eh~, then first, there was a magic that erased the imperial capital, but I only know that I don’t understand it at all!”

“Oi oi, what’re you sayin’?”

The giant unintentionally retorted, but the girl simply waved her hand.

“It wasn’t s.p.a.ce-time magic or genesis, neither was it a fusion of fire and wind magic of course. In short, it’s a magic that doesn’t exist in this world!”

Her words had concrete to explain with, but they held a certain persuasiveness.

“What’re you sayin’?”

“Therefore, I don’t understand it! To begin with, magic didn’t exist in Thor’s world right?”

The giant warrior, Thor, scratched his head.

“I was more into sports, wasn’t too good with physics or chemistry…”

They didn’t understand the meaning of his words, but everyone understood what he was trying to say.

To put it simply, Thor was slow in the head.

“How about we change topics? It’s about the hero though.”

A young man with a huge staff spoke. There was a certain bitterness in his vague smile.

“By the grace of water dragon Rana’s power, he was deported to another world. Additionally, he was together with a high elf child.”

“A high elf!? Isn’t that Corfus’ successor!?”

“Isn’t that bad!?”

Matching the young girl, Ferna spoke up as well.

The young man holding the cane, Yamato, made a slight nod.

This Millennium, they would have to fight against the Demon King without a hero’s power.

From there, they spoke about various things; thing like the nations of Lemdria, Istria, and Labra. They also talked about various regions.

All of them were in the direction of stabilization. Towards being able to concentrate mankind’s power for the Millennium.

The primary nations that would fight against the Demon King’s forces appeared to me Istria, Lemdria, Casalia, and now Ogress.

Ferna gave her report regarding Ogress’ queen.

“To put it short, that girl is a frightening person.”

What did she mean? Everyone’s gazes seemed to be asking that.

“First of all, her Dragon Eyes. Most humans wouldn’t be able to oppose her.”

That was probably true. Even among abilities that held power in their gaze—referred to as magical eyes—they were in a considerably powerful group. If activated imprudently, it could end with the other party’s death with a simple glare.

And then there was her personal combat capabilities, those were also frightening. Even Ferna didn’t believe that she could win against her.

“I can’t be certain because of affinities, but the only person among us that might win against her would be Yamato-san.”

The leader of the secret society, Black Cat: Yamato.

As a matter of course, the executives knew his hidden ability.

Although she obviously knew the other executives’ hidden abilities, she still said that Ria was probably stronger than them.

“Being able to survive Thermonuclear Darkness Exploding h.e.l.l, as well as Destruction of Heaven and Earth, she’s a lively one isn’t she? Rather, she isn’t even a person at this point.”

“Even using Meteor Shower looks useless?”

Azelford asked. If that was also useless, she really wouldn’t be killable through magic.

“That is a tactical grade magic, so it would be best to avoid that as long as possible.”

The mages went silent. As for magic beyond that, there was the supreme magic of the s.p.a.ce-time category, but no one there could use it.

“So then there’s no choice but for me to fight up close huh…”

Thor groaned. It was a certain victory for him as far as pure melee combat was concerned, most enemies would be silenced.

But even that a.s.sumed that his opponents could use magic.

“Her magical power exceeds Carla’s. If she used magic from afar, even Thor wouldn’t win.”

“The heck’s with that. Why’s there such a monster being a human!”

Thor spoke as though grieving, it was something that couldn’t be helped.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Yamato, yet he simply gave a simple sentence.”

“I have not decided on turning her into an enemy.”

It was a small possibility.
