Chapter 98 (1/2)
The World of Otoh for Mobs v3 Chapter 5 Part 3
An enormous palm approached
Marie ducked down, letting go of her cane
Once the giant hand collided with an allied shi+p, destroying it in the process, the nearby priests and tehts shouted
“Saint, the shi+eld!”
“Please defeat that monster with your power!”
“Saint, your cane!'
In face of the surrounding people nagging her about “Saint this, Saint that,” Marie screamed
“How am I supposed to defeat that?! I don't know I never heard about 'that thing' appearing! In the first place──I'm not the real saint!”
As the people around her were stunned, an airshi+p was being bloay above Marie
The airshi+p was crushed like a toy, throay, and then burst into flames
She couldn't comprehend as in front of her eyes
Feeling sick to her stoe from the horror
She looked upwards at the monsters and shed tears
“What am I even supposed to do here?! Someone, help!”
Theairshi+ps having no effect
It destroyed obstacles in its way, slowly heading towards the royal capital
One of the tehts yelled
“R, retreat Retreat! Fall back immediately!”
When the airshi+p made an immediate turnaround, an allied airshi+p plummeted
The airshi+p exploded upon reaching the ground, causing flames to spread across the land
There had been more than two hundred airshi+ps, but when it became time to escape──only ten remained
All the while, Marie sat down and hile cradling her knees within her arms
She cried the sa that one day in her previous life──
“──That's all there is to it”
Milaine finished her report
The king spoke
“Quite the nightmarish scenario”
Vince also seemed worried
“It's no use trying to compete with numbers Furthermore, there's the matter of this earthquake”
Vince sipped his drink and placed his cup on the table
Thereupon, the cup slowly fell over
It seehtly lurch
Nu ever since the iant monster, appeared
It seems that there's a correlation
“Viscount Baltfault, I'll ask you bluntly Can you win? If you face that monster with your lost item──can you win?”
When Bernard said that, I gulped
If that monster has the same characteristics at the final boss, then it would be impossible
Luxon wouldn't be able to bring it down
It wouldn't result in a loss However, ouldn't win either
──After all, it's an opponent that will resurrect itself no aive up and go back to an iht “Oh, this is a dead end,” when I encountered it
“──I don't know”
In the first place, this is all just ive an answer
Vince spoke while picking up his cup
“I suppose none of us would knoever, we have no choice but to place our hopes on you If you can't defeat it with the lost item that you exclusively can operate──ill have to use the royal shi+p”
Milaine narrowed her eyes and glared at Vince
“Duke, why are you bringing that up here?”
There seeht now, but the royal shi+p, which the protagonist rides with the capture target of her choosing, is a powerful airshi+p that appears in the later half of the game
However, its performance is lower than Luxon
Perhaps it would even lose to Partner
Despite that, the royal family's shi+p has a special power
“If not now, then e use it? It pleases nobody that you re in this situation”
Milaine was about to say so stopped her
“Stop this Vince, you should know──the royal family's shi+p will not operate without the qualified personnel Even Milaine and I couldn't operate it”
Oh right, that kind of setting existed
In the gaet were the ones operating it
However, there's a problem here
There are no bonds of love between Livia and the five capture targets
According to the ga, the royal family's shi+p will not operate without love
That being the case, what's needed in order to overcome this situation is──Marie's power
We would need to borrow the bonds of love and the power of the saint from Marie
“Your Majesty, I have a request Please let me use the royal shi+p Furthermore, we need the power of Marie and those five people”
The king showed signs of discomfort towards me
“Do you understand the significance of that? There's no way that can happen”
Milaine shook her head
“Unfortunately, that's impossible Leon, we can't lend the royal shi+p In addition──the temple announced that Saint Marie will be executed”
I was brought to another room
The king and the others are still in the eanz to return
Well, I'dom
I suppose I have to follow an order to be on standby ──There are also sos I'd like to think over
As I was sitting on a chair, pondering tomy hands in front of my mouth, Luxon came to me
[Marie, the one who pretended to be the saint, will be burned at a stake or perhaps crucified The descendants of the new huhtly Even at this point in tis]
Despite the saint ite Marie, she revealed that she was a fake and will be executed
It's not even funny They're just using that pretext to push the blame onto her
The temple and the marquis' faction wanted someone to take responsibility
[At any rate, those people are foolish for ordering you to be on standby They think that you still harbor loyalty and ork for the kingdom What an unacceptable attitude they have towards Partner and Arroganz Shall we start an overthrow?]
I shook my head
[──How unfortunate]
Just to be clear, this kingdom has no value to me
The ga and I nearly faced execution
We soe the fact that we're backed into a corner
I was driven out of the discussion
I thought about doing as I please However, I can't come to a decision
[Master, what are you thinking about]
“Luxon, can you win in this situation?”
I asked that while wandering around
[What are the conditions for winning?]
