138 136 Zelaise Ambition (2/2)

I'll empty the sky. Zelaise was already a phantom. The art of phantoms I showed you in front of my guild? When.

”But who are you really? I can't believe you didn't just interrupt our plan, you knocked out the Demon Stone soldiers so lightly. I still regret it.”

”Just a Rank D Adventurer in the Black Cat Clan”

”Hahaha, you're a tough joke. My demon stone soldier was designed to blow up once and for all if he defeated it badly? You can't just be a Rank D Adventurer to wipe it out in an evil flash.”

”I made what I could.”

”I was actually going to let the demon stone soldiers stop me, look at the gaps and steal my demon soul. There was no gap at all because I would take it down in such a flash. You've been following me ever since, haven't you? Yet it doesn't show any gaps. You ended up with an extra injury. But I could take this back, and I guess the result is O'Rei?

”How did you steal it?

”I used a skill called the petition of a thief with a demon stone weapon. Absolutely stealing anything in the range of effects. If I let you gather your information, you'll be the user of space-time magic. Maybe it's for dimensional storage, so I gave it a hit. No, if it wasn't for the petition of the Theft God, you'd have had to give up. Yeah, sneaking up on a demon stone weapon that seals its entirely hidden form.”

A crack enters the armor that was on the left hand of the falling Zelaisse and the pendant on his neck, smashing and scattering. Right, is that the Demon Stone weapon? Was it still a dangerous substitute? Even disposable, sucks enough.

”Oh, the keepsake is broken. They were both my wife's hands. They cost me 100 million gold for two, right? It's a huge deficit.”

”That's it, you wanted that?

”Sort of. I'm grateful to you, aren't I? Because if you hadn't gotten it back from the pirates, you wouldn't have come back to me. I've been interrupted a lot, but now I'm going to write you off.”

”What is it?

Oh, Eugene, who's been silent, has come into the conversation. I guess I couldn't ignore the mysterious demon soul I've seen myself.

”Didn't my master know what this was either? Ha-ha-ha, listen. Surprise me, huh? Oh, my God, this is Chimera's demon soul!

”Then, stupid! Ki, Kimera...?

”Is it unusual?

”It's not a level of rarity or anything like that! It is a sealed designation super dangerous material, said to exist in the world as well as five!

”Haha! Surprised? Isn't that amazing? No, when I checked into Laidos' Alchemy Laboratory under the name of Barbora's Alchemy Guild, he gave it to me for a billion gold. Well, it wasn't my money, and it was a good buy.”

”What is the purpose?

”Then you will produce the most powerful warcraft! Enough to destroy the world!

That's a mess. Or was it an item that could have done such a great thing?

”You've accomplished your purpose, and now you're really goodbye. Baba.”

”Oh, wait! Zelaise!”

Eugene screams, but there was already no sign of Zelaise.

”Zelaise......”

”What's a chimera?

”Oh, Mr. Fran. Chimera means the worst artificial warcraft.”

It seems to be a demonic soul originally created by research that produces heterogeneous mixed types of warcraft like Kimyra.

But what was produced as a result was a biological weapon with a threat A-over, which was completely different from what was originally planned - a force that greatly exceeded what was originally planned. Moreover, it accepts no control at all and destroys several cities.

Studies continued afterwards, but did not lead to control, and after several countries were annihilated by chimeras, the consultation of the nations of the world determines that their demonic souls will be sealed. Thereafter, the research materials were discarded, and all the researchers were executed, apparently.

The creation of the demonic soul of Chimera requires very rare materials, including those of already extinct organisms. Currently, it shouldn't have been possible to get...

”The Reids kingdom is in turmoil today. Perhaps the devil's soul was brought up by those who were not aware of the danger.”

”Reidos in disarray?

Don't listen to that. It's an enemy country for us.

”It was about 10 years ago that the king died suddenly, and then a power struggle broke out by four Grand Dukes. Are you saying that the feud is now appalling and half civil unrest? It's so strange that it hasn't developed into a big battle yet.”

”I see.”

Was it? So you're saying that Salute or Rich's mastermind is some grand priest? Or are each of you plotting whatever you want? That's where I want to know more, but Eugene seemed to know nothing more.

”I report to the Lords and Adventurers Guild about Zelaise. You can't leave me alone when I say I've got the demon soul of Chimera.”

I'm sure there will be arrangements around the world. But Zelaise is going to be happy. But I can't help it. I agree that you can't leave me alone.

There doesn't seem to be any more clues, so why don't you join Amanda and the others?
