The adventurers letting out the lightning were around Kyoya's peak strength. They were close to the 20th floor and surely could fight the adventurers here, so Kyoya felt tense out of sudden.
Hidden behind the fog, his eyes utilized the newly created concept to gather the most information out from their bodies and constantly emerging lightning.
It was what the husband got.
[The Lightning Noble from Nure Household. More information can be revealed by fighting the noble.]
'I just got confirmation that he is from Rosa's family, but I obviously need more.'
While the husband lamented over his weak scouting information and concept, the noble himself looked at the big sister. She was in her early thirties, so even this noble could call her like that.
His whole appearance was similar to Rosa's elder brother, but this man was just around his twenties. As he confirmed that there was no one else around them, he took off his cover which were shabby clothes of adventurers.
Then, he revealed blue-black noble suit that reeked off with the lightning attribute. The way he moved also caused Kyoya's mind to resurface with the elder brother's image. This was haughty and filled with pride appearance that Kyoya couldn't possibly accept it on such an individual.
It was mainly because of the gods and his meeting with them, but Kyoya felt that this appearance was looking bizarre on believers. However, this family was one of the six families that ruled the Grooma Kingdom, so the husband could only keep such thoughts to himself.
"Woman, don't you think you are too presumptuous to attack the youngest son of Nure Household?"
"If I knew… that it were you, then I wouldn't attack you at all…Please, forgive me."
It was not only about the floor strength level.
Against such a household, the lady knew that she couldn't win despite being stronger as their treasures and concepts were on a totally different level. She herself also had yet to properly polish up her belief with the assassin craft, so there were many disadvantages by going against any noble household.
That was why the big sister agreed with the youngest son and begged for forgiveness. Nonetheless, just because such a lightning barrier got revealed, the lady knew that they wouldn't let her go like that.
After all, it was costly and exhausting to use such power.
"This black castle and its court belong to our floor, but you not only disrespected the rules set up by the six families, you also dared to attack me… Woman, let me ask you again. Don't you think you were too presumptuous?"
It quickly became known for everyone that this man liked to play with others. His guards around him were also used to this and similarly took the pleasure of seeing others low their heads.
When their master spoke, they held their chin's high while keeping their overbearing lust for themselves. Naturally, the one who could 'taste' the flesh first was their master and this was also realized by the lady not too long after.
Nonetheless, the master liked when people begged, so he spoke and spoke, then his attention shifted to his guards.
"What should we do now? The adventurers working in our kingdom are valuable, so we can't possibly punish this lady here, am I right?"
""""You are right, young master Makron!""""
Rather than guards, these people were close aides. Every young master had those and so this man took pleasure in showing off his influence and status that was high within the six families.
"Instead of punishment, you can serve us. Fear not, woman. You will be able to satisfy me just for a day or two as you aren't qualified to feel me for an eternity. I also wouldn't want your adventurer life to stop due to me."
"Haha! Young Master is right!"
"Indeed! The adventurers and their skills are needed on every floor!"
The aides chimed in, spitting out the jovial words towards their master.
As the situation escalated to this point, the big sister knew that it was either death or service. She hugged her mature body tightly, then bit her lips while doing her best to withstand all those disgusting stares. Moreover, she didn't want to go for either, so the lady was buying time for herself while praying for someone to help her.
Then, an unknown voice rang out.
"Makron, what are you doing?"
"Eldest Brother?! A-aren't you supposed to be in the black castle? You should be one of the prodigies to enter this black castle while others scout the court!"
"It will take some time to enter it. Not only is it upside down, its energies constantly repel us."
The one who came was the eldest brother.
When big sister saw him coming in, her heart sunk as these two brothers looked so familiar they couldn't possibly be different!
-
-Before the eldest brother stepped in-
Kyoya was looking at the situation with even worse disgust than the big sister. He was so sensitive to the emotions that he nearly puked right here. However, his killing intent was even more sharper and influential.
As he managed to hide himself from Makron's senses, Kyoya reckoned his brain out for any scheme to take the noble down and save his friend.
This seemed so hard because of the lightning barrier and the noble's strength that Kyoya knew fighting straight on would be the worst. His mind kept trembling and the sense of loss became vivid anew.
Though he wasn't close with this disciple like Akaro, Kyoya didn't want to see the people he spoke closely and merrily die.
That was why his energies constantly clashed to bring the new power.
[You are getting closer to the Jack Disciple.]
[Your Divine Avatar has created a new concept.]
[Trickster God's Self-Avatar Tailoring.]
[Your new concept becomes Ace's Self-Avatar Tailoring.]
[You can tailor your appearance.]
The husband quickly worked with his imagination and formed the perfect appearance of the eldest brother. After he turned into Mervase himself, Kyoya passed through the lightning barrier.
This barrier caused him so much damage that he nearly fainted, but Kyoya hid all his pain and wounds with this new concept. He kept the beaming of Mervase, the one that this eldest brother showed him in the leader's garden, then confidently approached Makron.
This young master couldn't even see through this cover.
"Since I have so much free time, I need to keep my hands hot, don't I?"
"Of course, eldest brother! What if your hands became too stiff from this waiting? This woman was so presumptuous to attack us, so as an apology, she has to service us! But as your younger brother, it would be more than honor to help you in your new conquest! Please, warm yourself with her! This will be the utmost apology this low woman could give to our family!"
"You are such a good child, Makron."
"Yes, brother! We will leave now."
Makron bowed to his eldest brother while his aides turned off the lightning barrier. As the forest became yet again dark with the fog around them, the big sister raised her scared eyes towards Mervase.
Such an appearance was the worst on her and Kyoya quickly began to hate it.
He turned off the new concept and appeared with his real body that kept a soft smile reserved for the big sister.
"Ah… It's the… younger brother…"
"Yes, it's me… Let's go back to the camp."
It was too hard for the lady to move, so Kyoya lent his back for her, then carried her quickly toward the camp. The distance was still wide between the camp and them, so it was a lot of time for both of them.
Her hug was kinda tight, but Kyoya expected it after such a show.
He allowed her to hug him in any way she wanted, then didn't comment much when she sniffed his hair.
"I must work harder with the assassin craft…"
"You will become the greatest assassin, big sister. I believe in you."
"Don't call me big sister… My name is Luiz."
"I am Kyoya, Luiz. Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you…"
-
"Wait… How did the eldest brother call me?"
"A good… child… It was a good child, young master!"
"This is impossible for him to call me like that!"
Makron realized this not too long ago after Kyoya took Luiz away from them. They weren't far away, so Makron quickly spun around to chase after the impostor. He cursed himself inwardly for making such a mistake.
His whole face was covered in wrinkles as she distorted it angrily!
"Young master! Allow us to use full power to chase down this sneaky bastard!"
"Please, young master! We have to wash away this shame!"
The aides weren't willing to look into their master's eyes. Those eyes carried so vicious light it was hard for them to focus in front of these. With their heads low, they chased after their master whose speed wasn't that fast at all.
And since there was no response, their heads eventually went up to face their master.
"Young master… is dead?"
Only then the aides noticed the headless body running towards the previous spot.
No one has noticed this death.
Not the aides.
Not the Makron's body.
Not the young master himself.
He just died and his body continued to run until it hit the tree.
Only then the body lifelessly fell onto the ground.
A moment later, the aides repeated the same move with their bodies hitting the ground lifelessly. Their whole equipment then got snatched by the old hands that Kyoya would recognize on the spot.
