Chapter 454: Side: Ashwrath (I)

Chapter 454: Side: Ashwrath (I)

「The continent of Gilberd huh. It's been a long time since I've been there」

「You are a big guy! Are you from the demon tribe?」

「Ou, perhaps」

「Are you on a business on this continent?」

「No, it's not like a business......」

It was on a whim that I crossed over from the continent of Krome to the continent of Gilberd.

「Well. I guess I just followed my intuition」

「Haah, intuition?」

I have a unique skill called 『Imbecility』, which is a skill that strengthens your intuition and instincts. With this skill, I could tell if the other person's words were a lie or not. I could somehow tell if they were speaking from the heart or not. Sometimes I am wrong, but many times this skill has saved my life.

My intuition was telling me that I should go to the continent of Gilberd. It was originally triggered by the words of an evil person named Murellia.

The last thing she said to me was that she wanted me to save a boy named Romio. I couldn't feel any lie in those words. It must have come from the bottom of her heart.

And then the man I fought afterwards, Zelos Reed. He was a vicious man, but I could also feel his deep sadness. I didn't know why at the time, but......

Later, when I heard that Zelos Reed had kidnapped Romio, it became clear. Ostensibly, it looked like Zelos Reed had betrayed Murellia, but I guess that was just for show. I don't even know why he did it......

With that in mind, it seemed only natural that Zelos Reed would act to fulfil Murellia's last wish.

I can also predict the destination that Zelos Reed will take Romeo to. The results of a survey of orphanages around the country had been compiled to determine where Murellia would leave Romeo.

Among them, an orphanage in the big city of Barbra was apparently being checked out as a promising place to leave the child. This is what I've heard from Miss Mea and the others, so I'm sure it's true.

It's not like there's anything in it for me to go after. I'm not sure if I want to save Romio or if I want to have a rematch with Zelos Reed. But I felt that I should see it through. And the next thing I knew, I was on a ship bound for the continent of Gilberd.

「But I didn't realize it was a vain attempt......」

Once I got off the ship and started asking around, I quickly found out the location of the orphanage. It seemed to be a very famous place in Barbra. Recently, a rank A adventurer had taken shelter at the orphanage, and the name seemed to have spread even further.

I asked the strangely low-key woman who came out to respond about Romio, and to my surprise, she said he wasn't at this location.

「I can't just ignore this huh」

I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate for the people of this city that I'm here, but......I want to make sure that Miss Fran is safe.

For the time being, I'm going to head for the royal castle where there are people related to the Knight Order. I'll go there and get some information, and if necessary, I can destroy the Marquis. Thanks to Fran and the others who held him down, there should still be enough time for her to run away. I'm sure I can help.

However, it seems that thinking was too sweet. In front of the royal castle, a girl with tremendous power was overrunning the knights. She's a dragon kin, but her magic power is comparable to mine. It's not as if she has a purpose, but it hasn't led to large-scale destruction, but if she's serious, even this royal capital should be cleared in less than half an hour.

I'll have to do it myself. If I leave her alone, it'll be a disaster for Miss Fran and Master. I called out to the pompous men who were talking about old man Demitris and gave them a bite, but it didn't do much damage. If I don't get serious, I'm the one who's going to get hit.

「Now, how long can I keep this up......?」

The problem was that if I went out of control, there would be more damage. I had to get it over with before that happened.

「Oi! Get these people out of the area. They'll be involved into the fight」

「Yo-you are...?」

「I'm an adventurers, Ashwrath. You can call me a comrade in arms」

「Y-you are...Oi! All hands retreat! Use the royal castle to escape immediately! Hurry up and evacuate the residents」

「Ha!」

Apparently, he knows who I am. The knight who seemed to be the most important one moved immediately. This would make the fight a little easier.

「You, have you ever heard of the adventurer known as the Black Lightning Princess?」

「Do you know Fran, Ashwrath-dono?」

「Yeah, where she is now?」

「They're searching Marquess Ashtner's mansion」

「Is that far from here?」

「more or less」

It's good then. She's less likely to get involved.

「There's nothing to regret! Divine Sword Release!」
