Chapter 100 - Even if We Look Different from Each Other (3)

[Nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa!]

“Wow.Roa is incredibly excited.”

In a flash, the black fog covered the entire region.Roa started sucking in all the negative Mana from the region.This was the most she had eaten, since she was born.The Forest of Eternity was like a buffet to her.

The fruit always tasted sweeter when one refrained from eating it for a long time.She ate all the cursed energy that had sprouted using the Elves as nourishment.She also ate the black magic gathered by the humans.It was the tastiest meal she had eaten up until now.

She had a thought.Maybe, all the curse in this world was gathered to be hers.Roa let out a roar of delight.

[Mee-yahhhhhhhhhhhng!]

“Koohk.How can this be!?”

Roa’s gluttonous activity immediately affected the king of Aedia and his high ranking nobles.

They had been unscrupulously learning black magic as black magicians.They had been about to use their black magic, but the Greed Beast had abruptly sucked away all the energy in the region.They weren’t able to control their Mana properly.

“The Mana is…...”

“No, the magic circle is shattered!This shouldn’t be possible!”

[Nyahhhhhhhht!]

If their levels were overwhelmingly higher than Roa’s level, it might have been a different story.However, Roa had travelled with Artpe, since she was born.As a Greed Beast, she had travelled the Royal Road.In terms of level, she was close in level with the black magicians!

“Huht.This is….Koo-hahk!?”

“Ggoo-ahhhhhhh!”

Of course, they became flustered when their spells weren’t manifesting properly.Regina used this opportunity to send out a single strike that caused the heads of the nobles to explode.Everyone except for the king had their head cleanly blown off.

If the king of Aedia hadn’t quickly brought up his defensive magic, he would have suffered the same fate as them.When he realized this fact, his teeth clenched from fright.He looked towards Regina.However, he didn’t have time to wonder why his black magic hadn’t activated.He couldn’t investigate where the Mana was being sucked away.

“R...Regina!You bitch!How dare you!”

“Lucky.I’m not worried.Let’s focus on the business on hand.”

She had a vague sense that everything would work out if Artpe was present.However, she hadn’t expected him to show up with a magical beast possessing a cheat-like ability.

Anyways, she no longer had to focus on protecting the World Tree.Moreover, the black magic wouldn’t be interfering with her either.Since she was freed from such restrictions, Regina could use the full extent of her power, which was about twice as strong as before.

“I am your master!I am your master!How dare a golem go against its master!”

“I am a Demite.I am my own master.I will exercise my free will.”

She wasn’t a golem.She could do whatever she wanted to do.

“I’m tired of leashes.Even the one around my neck…..”

As she squeezed out every ounce of Mana within her, she looked at her surrounding.She saw the tormented Elves.The curse had permeated in their bones, and they had lost their sense of self.For some reason, her eyes landed on Artpe next.

‘······denial.That man has always been free.He might have a bit too much freedom.’

When she had traveled with him, she had felt a sense of kinship for a short amount of time.However, she was deluding herself.Artpe liked younger women, and he had acted passionately in an attempt to seduce her.She had been taken in only a little bit.

That was it.Regina took her eyes off of Artpe as she continued to speak.

“······I’m tired of seeing leashes on others too.”

“When I said the Elves will obey the humans, that’s not what I meant!That’s right.I meant I was going to borrow the power of Elves, so we can defend against our outside enemies!”

“Humans are foolish.They keep repeating the same mistakes.”

Regina raised both her arms.Her spell was already finished, and she was just waiting for the right moment to unleash it.Regina used the strongest spell in her arsenal.It was an ice type short range ultimate spell.It was the Ice Dragon’s Rage.

“However, I am a Demite.”

“Regina, wait a moment….Koohk!?Kah-hahk!”

The first stage of the spell released a cold air that nullified and restricted the enemy’s Mana and physical movement.

The second stage was an ice storm that condensed into a very small region before being shot.It froze and destroyed one’s enemy.

“I will not make the same mistakes.”

However, there was no reply.The Ice Dragon’s Rage had squarely hit the king of Aedia.There was no trace of him left in this world.He was dead.

“······hoo.”

She had killed someone that she had considered to be her master.Regina floated in midair for a brief moment as she took an inventory of herself.She waited to see if anything bad would happen to her.However, nothing happened as time passed.

“Freedom.It really is freedom.”

If she was going to face the consequences for breaking restrictions placed on her as a golem, she would have felt the backlash when she went against the order of waking up the Elves.She would have suffered right when she manifested her explosion spell against the nobles.

She was going through a confirmation process.

“I’ve always been free..······my ignorance led me to hardship.This feels much better than being given a leadership role.”

After she reaffirmed her freedom again, she descended from the air.There was nothing around her neck, but she rubbed at her neck with a satisfied expression on her face.

Was it a coincidence?

A sickeningly good looking and merciful magician was waiting for her.

“It’s been awhile.What did you say when we parted ways?A golem follows its master’s order?I think you said something similar...kuh-huhk.”

“Mean.”

Regina was aware of the fact that she was inferior to Artpe in terms of physical capabilities.That was why she had casted a Strengthening spell on her fist as she punched Artpe in the stomach.

“Aren’t you going too far with someone who helped you regain your freedom….kuh-huhk.”

“Mean.”

It was as if she was punching him every time he spoke, so Artpe closed his mouth.Despite this fact, Regina’s assault wasn’t at an end.

“You knew all of this from the start.My situation….you had a complete assessment, yet you were silent.Mean.Mean.Mean.”

“You wouldn’t have believed me even if I told you the truth!Help me, Sienna!”

“Aht.The Elves are suffering from the curse over there!I’ll be right back, oppa!”

“Are you betraying me!?”
