“What are you thinking, my king? A man, without asking for permission, has lowered the armies on the border! You idiot! I can’t believe my ears, I’m beyond amazed!”


  I’ve always thought it was funny.

  My own will is too powerless in front of her.

  She was born with a predetermined path.

  Us humans do not set the path that the Empire is on, but by her, the great spirit of darkness.

  “Hmm …… I feel liberated.”


  The Northern Champion, the Emperor of the Dostre Empire, had regained his certainty.

  However, the moment he stopped hearing the voice of the Great Spirit of Darkness, this was it.

  He must have been cast some kind of magic, a dark spell that was close to suggestion.

  Even with this, an emperor is still a man who has risen to the king’s position in an empire where the idea of meritocracy remains strong, pushing aside dozens of brothers who existed in the past to become king.

  I’m sure that he is trained in mind and body to the extent that he is unmatched by any soldier, and he also has the strength of will to resist the dark magic.

  But the self-confidence and awareness as an emperor was too weak a barrier to face the dark magic of the great spirit.

  —He was now acutely aware of his powerlessness.

  “General Barid. There is also information that a young dragon slayer was born in Daris, one of the four great southern alliances that are facing each other, and it’s that all-attribute elemental master, the wind prodigy Slow Denning. Furthermore, it is impossible to predict how the adventurer’s guild members scattered across the continent will move. The third in the hierarchy of S-class adventurers, the Red Lotus Eyes Ultra Red, is clearly hostile to us. …… Perhaps it was that guildmaster who appointed Slow Denning as a special A-class adventurer.”


  “…… As expected of an emperor. As you have so aptly informed us, our forces are overwhelmed by the forces of the South. In addition, we have two S-class adventurers in our army…”


  “—many sacrifices are inevitable. It is the sacrifices of the people and the fatigue of the nation that I worry about. Now, my Dostr Empire has leveled the North, a long-time dream of mine. Isn’t that enough for you, General Varid? If I continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before I’m known as the Mad King of War. Yes, I know I’ve been rumored to be the War King.”


  The King of the Empire thinks about the Great Spirit of Darkness.

  She has given him a lot of trouble since he can remember. It started as a mild prank, she hid her favorite toys, and once, if she was told that she had come up with new dark magic, she was made to be a test case.

  To be honest, she wasn’t very good at it.

  It may be disrespectful towards her as the guardian of the Empire, but—.

  —The thought that has been ingrained in me since I was a child has never changed.

  “I will end the war. You may look unhappy, but this is my decision as king. Continue to work for the peace in the North, General Balid.”


  “Ha……”


  The Great Spirit of Darkness, Nanatrilege, disappeared suddenly from the Imperial City.

  Since she rarely disappears without saying anything, there is a small amount of concern among the Emperor that something has happened to her.

  But he has no intention of announcing her disappearance to his people.

  Everyone believes that the country will be led to victory by the king’s will.

  The people of the Empire revere the Great Spirit of Darkness, and together with the king’s decisive power, the people tout him as the driving force behind the Empire’s rise to power.

  The Emperor is a mere puppet of the great dark spirit Nanatrilege, and only the highest echelons of the Empire know of such a lamentable fact.

  “Yes, prepare a magic tool with high magic resistance as soon as possible. Money is no object. Especially those with strong resistance to dark magic.”


  You thought you were soft, relying on magic tools, or the situation is the situation.

  We don’t know when Lady Nanatrilege will return to the imperial capital.

  We’ll have to make all the necessary preparations before then.

  “Ha…… The Adventurer’s Guild has many of those kinds of things in their possession, so I’ll make inquiries to them.”


  “Hmm.”


  One of the Three Musketeers, one of the strongest warriors of the Empire, and a man who holds the rank of Grand General has disappeared from the hall.

  Only the Emperor was left behind.

  As he sat in his luxurious chair, he thought about her, who had disappeared.

  Until now, he had only acted and decided things as she wished, but now it was different.

  But now it was different.

  If you want to say it in the style of those who rule over the great powers that supposedly exist in the Free Commonwealth from the shadows…


  “Let the rebellion begin… a rebellion for the pride of being king.”


  King Dostr swears firmly.

  We will not make war.

  No more warfare is useless.

  “And yet, …… if someone deliberately lured her away from the imperial capital, …… I can’t help but be grateful to that person.”


  That’s why he asked me not to come back for a while…


  If possible, until I get my hands on a powerful magic tool—and the king of the Empire couldn’t help but think that.

  Now, if he heard such thoughts, the great spirit of darkness, Nanatrilege, would again make the Emperor a dark magic experiment to hurt him.

  But fortunately, the Emperor’s thoughts did not reach Nanatrilege.

  Because she was a long way from the Imperial City.

  Right now, Nanatrilegetrij had finally just invaded the Imperial City.

  She was flying in the sky, flapping her dark wings that called in the wind while effortlessly dodging the attacks from the flying-type monsters.

  “Yaaaah! I fixed it! But why is there such a complicated structure at all? Whoever made this genius mage! Ack! That was me!”


  She is the great spirit of darkness, Nanatrilege, who has rested her hands from messing around with something and is now striking a satisfying gut pose.

  Her long black silken hair, which reached to her waist, was glossy, and her skin was as white as snow, which reminded me of the coming of winter, and her slender arms and legs seemed to be hesitant to be touched.

  She was dressed in a black dress, looking like an inorganic doll, and her black hair was hanging over her face in the wind, making her look like Sadako from a horror movie.

  But she doesn’t care about that.

  Those who knew the Great Spirit of Darkness would have been unable to laugh at her, but the Great Spirit of Darkness, Nanatrilege, didn’t care about that and continued to think about one person.

  It was a boy who had contacted Nanatrilege using a dark magic tool.

  “Woo. But I never thought the function I added on a whim would come in handy! I knew I was a visionary!

  She finally managed to fix her broken dark magic tool.

  For a while, she was making dark magic tools, but recently her interest has shifted to collecting rare objects rather than making them.

  That’s why I forgot about the dark magic tools structure, and it took me a long time to fix it.

  “Fu fu fu. The great spirit of darkness, Lady Nanatrilege, is! He’s a genius who can do anything he wants if he’s focused.”


  The wind was gusting because of the altitude.

  But Nanatrilege didn’t care about the wind, and she sucked in her breath as hard as she could to shout as loudly as she could.

  After all, the man who had been communicating with her, Slow Denning, had gotten the Great Spirit of Death’s egg.

  It was a fantastic and ridiculous item that Nanatrilege had been looking for for a long time.

  The Great Spirit of Death Egg is an item that has been feared since ancient times among the minority tribes that exist in the far North as a weapon that can bring about the destruction of the world.

  When Nanatrilege stumbled upon this legend, she decided to add the Great Spirit of Death’s egg to her collection.

  The Great Spirit of Death’s egg, what a name that would make a collector’s blood boil.

  There are only six great spirits in the world, which is why the name is so funny.

  —What is the Great Spirit of Death’s egg?

  I can’t help but feel excited and trendy.

  After Nanatrilege spent a long time searching steadily, she found that the Great Spirit of Death’s egg did not exist in the North of the continent.

  “Come on !!!! You hear me? Slow Denning!”


  Then there must be the Great Spirit of Death’s egg in the South of the continent.

  Just then, the item to find the Great Spirit of Death’s egg was stolen by a thief sent from the South.

  But when the thief sneaked into Nanatrilegetrij’s room, the guards drove him away, and he dropped something.

  One of the great powers that exist in the southern part of the continent.

  A sign of membership in the Treason Guild, which is believed to control the Free Federation from behind the scenes.

  A pendant with an inverted cross engraved on it.

  It’s the only thing that can be said for it. It’s not a bad idea. Slow - Denning!

  One of the Three Musketeers who had given orders to retrieve the stolen items by now.

  Dryback Steibert must have reached the Free Federation around the time he arrived there.

  When Nanatrilege thought of the half-man, half-demon ghost, someone’s voice came back from the dark magic tool in his hand, as if it was impatient.

  “Whoa! I was surprised all of a sudden! Who are you?”


  That voice is just like… that boy.

  —it was Slow Denning’s.

  The opposite of what happened in Nanatrilege’s own room.

  This time Nanatrilege spoke to him, and Slough Denning seemed to be more than a little surprised.

  That fact made her a little happy.

  If you get hit, you do it back.

  That’s the proof that she is her, spun from birth to the present day.

  ‘I’m not surprised! That’s me! Great Spirit of Darkness, Master Nanatrilege! Hey! Slow-Denning! Say something!

  “What’s that, Mr. Great Spirit of Darkness? …… Isn’t that something funny to pronounce? It’s okay.”


  “We’re coming to you just like you said! Now, hurry up and tell me how you got the Great Spirit of Death’s egg!”


  “Uh… Great Spirit of Darkness. I’m a little busy right now, so I’ll see you later. “Sniff.” “


  And then the communication was cut off.

  Probably one half of the dark magic tool that Slow Denning possessed. The communication function must have been intentionally shut down.

  The magic of the call can’t be helped if it is cut off from the other side.

  But this kind of treatment.

  As expected, even Nanatrilegetolige did not expect this.

  The surprise of being caught by surprise gradually turned into magma-like anger.

  “Youuuuu!!!! Hey, what’s up with this guy… !!!! Oh, my God! I am… Do you have any idea who you are? Great Spirit of Darkness! The greatest of all the Great Spirits, the Great Spirit of Darkness: -! I’ll never forgive you! I’ll never forgive you! …… Ah! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Oh no!”


  The Great Spirit of Darkness, Nanatrilege, was pulling and shaking with rage, and a black-robed button, a dark magic tool, fell smoothly from her hand.

  It was so small that the wind snatched it away in an instant, making it impossible to tell where it had gone.

  After all, Nanatrilege was in the air, above the sky, where the trees looked tiny.

  Nanatrilege was disappointed and reassured himself that he would still be able to get the Great Spirit of Death’s egg.

  “I’m all over it! Slow - it’s Denning’s fault!!! Oh, God, I can’t allow this! Very, very, very inexcusable! This is how you treat Lady Nanatrilege! I can’t believe it’s impossible! I’m going to hit you with all the slots - Denning!”


  The Great Spirit of Darkness, Nanatrilege, has already decided.

  That joke of a human, Slow~Denning.

  The moment they met, I’ll thoroughly hurt him with over ten dark magic— I’ll take away the Great Spirit of Death’s egg,” he said.

  ! I can’t believe it’s impossible! I’m going to hit you with all the slots - Denning!”
