454 - - Episode 14 Black Emotions

A room in the Dragon People Empire.

The "masters" of the Dragon People Empire gather in one room and engage in conversation.

The content of the conversation is about the brave men chosen by the Goddess Church and the "Witch of the Giant Tower," who has been certified as the Demon King.

Hey, Hisomi!　Did you find out anything about those brave men?"

Sesta, who has a beautiful boy face and literally ran for his life after being beaten to a pulp by Nazuna, asks HISOMI in a panicked tone.

Incidentally, in running away from Nazuna and the attack he received from her, Sesta lost his left arm, right leg, and right eye.

If he had a severed arm or leg, he could have connected them with the highest quality potion, but both disappeared because he used them as bomb materials to escape from Nazna.

Both have prosthetic limbs and an eye patch over their right eye.

If Doc, one of the "masters" on the demon side who specializes in healing, were here, it would be possible to regenerate from scratch even without the severed limbs, but he has already been captured by the lights and transported to the lowest level of the "Nazuraku" like Garou and the others.

There, he is being tortured in hell.

Therefore, since none of the current masters specialize in healing, they are unable to regenerate the missing parts.

Thanks to the technology used to create a fresh golem by Hisomi, Sesta has artificial limbs, and although her fighting ability has decreased, she is not inconvenienced in her daily life. ......

He still occasionally aches from the damage done by Nazna.

Sesta was reminded each time of his anger, hatred, and fear of Nazna.

He represented him, and with a blue face, he questioned HISOMI, who was in charge of gathering information from the outside.

Hithomi's narrow eyes narrow even more and he answers the question.

He says, "...... In conclusion, the heroes are different people. They were not the ones who joined the "C" umbrella at that time. If they had been resurrected by the power of "C," the earth would be in a much worse state. And I can assure you from the names and backgrounds of the heroes that they are different people. However, I think it is safe to assume that the weapons they are carrying are the same.

Does that mean 'C' is back?"

At the sound of Sesta's fearful voice, Hisomi shook her head.

I think it is highly unlikely," he said. But considering the circumstances, we can't let our guard down. ......"

Aaaaah...... perhaps the 'witch' overdid it and got in the way, so she's just lending a hand to take care of it." The witch who keeps such a nazuna (monster), it's easy to imagine that she's a target for elimination from the "Demon King" certification because she got in the way.

Goh, a dreadlocked former master of the demon race side who sits in the middle of a two-seater sofa and occupies one of the two seats, spits out a disgusted look.

The princely Hiro, the top master on the Dragon Empire side, sits cross-legged on the one-seat sofa.

Mr. Goh, what you say about the selection of "heroes" to eliminate those whom "C" has identified as obstacles is only a prediction.

I know. I know, but it's almost certain.

Goh clucked his tongue in annoyance at Hiro's point.

For example, when other species killed too many of their own race, as in this case, "C" often intervened in this world and tried to balance the situation.

This is a historical fact that can only be inferred by some masters who know the past.

It is impossible to know how much historical research would be overturned if the information they have were to be presented to the historians of today.

...... Is it true that the Holy Sword Zed is real?"

............"

Unusually, Black (Hey) opens his mouth and asks Hissomi himself.

Everyone's attention was focused on Hei, and HISOMI's narrow eyes widened to the limit.

After a few seconds of pause, he chokes up and answers.

'Yes, yes, perhaps. But as I mentioned earlier, the weapons are probably the same, but the heroes are different. If they had been resurrected, the earth would have been even more miserable. ......"

They're even more scum than we are!

It seems that the "heroes" they know are terrible people, so much so that Sesta, who turned racial slaves and orphans into bombs with her own blessings, declares that they are "even worse than us.

In response to this reply, Black (Hey) puts all his strength into the black sword in his hand and lets out a really rare killing intent.

'All right ......, but I will kill anyone who has the holy sword Zed, even if the wielder is different. Someone please escort Kaiser."

Fool!　You don't have to make a move!　Leave him alone!"

"............"

Kaiser, who like Goh sits alone on a two-seater sofa, naked on top, wearing a golden collar, bracelet, earrings, and rings, scolds Hei Black, who stands behind him.

Hei, who follows Kaiser blindly, is unusually silent, but he is leaking an air of unconvincing agreement.

Kaiser nailed him, who seemed to be heading off to kill the "hero of the sacred sword" without telling anyone.

Don't keep looking at me because I was killed by the Holy Sword Zed in the past!　Killing the current holy sword users would not make any sense. Rather, it will only risk passing information to others, which can only be a disadvantage!"

............"

Like a large dog that has been upset with its owner, Black (Hey) turns away in a bad mood.

The masters present knew that Kaiser had lost his life to the holy sword Zed in the past.

Black(hey), who was unable to stop its killing, feels guilty and is now by Kaiser's side as his bodyguard, like an overprotective parent.

This time, upon learning that the holder of the holy sword Zed who killed him has appeared, Black (Hey) wishes to take the head of "the hero of the holy sword" Nick, even though he understands that it is a compensatory act.

However, as Kaiser said, there was no meaning to the act, and if Black (Hey) suddenly appeared and killed one of the heroes who is currently causing a stir in the world - it would only be a demerit because he would just be wasting information.

The bald-headed Lukan, the oldest man in the room, releases his body, which was leaning against the wall, and steps in between Kaiser and Hei.

He intervenes between Kaiser and Black, "Well, well, calm down, both of you. I understand your feelings, but as Kaiser said, there are only disadvantages. The most important thing is that even though it is a holy sword, it doesn't seem to be completely mastered as far as I can analyze the information I hear. In fact, I doubt if it is a real holy sword."

Lucan signaled to Hisomi with his eyes.

He quickly matched it.

As Lukan said, each of the heroes is of a certain level, and the weapons, armor, and magic items they have been given are the same as those of the past, but from my analysis of the information I have received, they are much weaker than the heroes we know. They may simply not be able to use them well, or in some cases, they may be replicas, as Lucan-dono said.

............"

If you understand, you will stay quiet and guard me or do whatever. You know that being quiet is the best you can do right now!

...... got it."

With Kaiser's last words, Black (Hey) thereafter becomes quiet, blending into his shadow as usual.

The masters, except Sesta and Goh, let out a sigh of relief when they manage to calm Black(hey)'s movements.

Goh and Sesta's stance was, "If he wants to do it, he can do it.

Hiro, the leader of the masters on the Dragon Empire side, gives instructions to HISOMI to bring the situation together.

I ask you to continue to gather information on the heroes and the "Witch of the Giant Tower" and monitor them. I am sure that "C" has not been revived yet, but you never know what might happen. I would like you to focus on gathering information on the heroes.

I understand. I will do my best.

Hiro then turns to Kaiser.

He asks, "Worst case scenario, I'd like to move 'Project A' forward. ...... How's the progress going?"

I can only say that it is in line with progress. If we move up the schedule, there is a possibility that we will not be able to reach the residential areas and the number of people will fall far short of our initial estimate.　If you don't mind, we can move it up.

...... understand. Please assume that in the worst case scenario, we may ask you to move up. We will coordinate the selection of the number of people. I ask that you gather more information and strengthen your surveillance of the brave men and women. If there is even the slightest sign that "C" is about to appear, we would like to move "Project A" into action.

I understand. We will do our utmost to help you.

Hiro, with a serious face, estimates the number of people that can be eliminated in his brain while responding. He also asks Hisomi to gather information on the heroes and strengthen surveillance.

The "masters" on the side of the Dragon Empire were also about to make active moves behind the scenes.
