Chapter 456: Rank S that Appeared

Chapter 456: Rank S that Appeared

As the massive explosion of the pseudo fanatic sword continued to cause great damage in the royal capital, I was searching for any sign of Fran.

We have a magical connection that allows us to sense each other's presence even when we are quite far away. Relying on this connection, I used the long-distance teleport.

「Wh-who is it!」

The one who was surprised by my sudden appearance was Stellia, the receptionist at the Adventurer's Guild. She was wearing bright red full-body armor, it's perhaps her equipment from her active days, and she was holding a huge mace.

Maybe, it's bigger than it was when she was active, but thanks to the size-adjusting magic, it seems to be equipped without any problem. It seems, magical equipment was like a living thing in many ways.

『I'm the master of Fran, the Black Lightning Princess. I'm not an enemy!』

「Hee...」

I'm quite suspicious. My body performance was at its lowest. I can't even move my mouth, so I has to use telekinetic, and my status is so low that it's hard to believe for someone like me to be Fran's master.

Furthermore, my doppelganger was dressed very poorly. Because I had created it into human form on the spur of the moment, I hadn't bothered to dress it. Because of this, my doppelganger was dressed only in shabby clothes, like a slave's.

It's pretty hard to believe for someone like me to be Fran's master huh.

「That little girls' master? Hmm...you don’t even look like a human tho...」

Huh, I didn't know Eihwaz was here too. Unlike Stellia, there's no hostility in his gaze. Instead, his eyes are those who looks at their Guinea pig though. He seems to intuitively understand that my body is different from that of a normal human. As expected of the mad scientist who likes to dissect things.

「Everyone, we will evacuate to the city outskirts! Hurry up!」

「I'll carry Master Gallus. You take care of Fran」

「woof!」

Eliante and Colbert appeared from the back. Colbert was carrying Gallus on his back, and Fran was strapped to the back of Urushi.

「Oh, Master Curry! So you're safe!」

Colbert notices me and rushes over to me, please stop with that Master curry!. however, it seems ease the suspicious glares from Stellia.

「Hou? What do you mean?」

『I can't explain it in detail, but Ashwrath was dangerous, he will going out of control the more they fight. It doesn't matter if you're friend or foe, When Ashwrath is out of control. He's really dangerous!』

No, you know that, don't you? That's why Eliante and the others are trying to escape in a hurry.

But will it save us? If Ashwrath were to go on rampage, the damage would not only be the capital but also the surrounding areas. Unlike that underground dungeon, he should be able to wield his power here without any restrictions. Will Eliante and the others be able to escape?

The best thing to do would be for all of us to get out of here, and for Ashwrath to defeat Velmeria early so he doesn't go out of control. It would be great if he could also save Velmeria's life.

The worst thing that can happen is that Ashwrath will go out of control during the battle with Velmeria, and the battle between the two causes great damage to the royal capital and its people. In some cases, Fran's and Eliante's live are also in danger.

What should I do? The easiest thing for me to do would be to get out of royal capital right now with just Fran and Urushi. Even with the rest of my magic power, I should be able to get pretty far away using teleport.

But if Fran woke up and found out that she was the only one who survived, abandoning Eliante, Gallus and the others......She'll be sad, she'll be devastated. Fran might not be able to forgive herself.

『If that's the case, I guess the least damaging method would be to take down Velmeria as soon as possible and prevent Ashwrath from running amok』

I'm not sure how far i can fight that monsters without Fran......It can even be said that I only have half the number of moves and half the power now. The only way I can beat her now is only with stealth.

No, in this case, stealth is important. It's impossible to attack her from the front anyway. If that's the case, the best thing to do would be to sneak up on the battle, and strike an effective blow at Velmeria, and give Ashwrath support.

『Understood. Then, I’ll go』

「Wa-, it's dangerous, even for you!」

『I'll be fine. I'm just gonna check on her. I leave Fran with you』

「Woof!」

I'm anxious to leave Fran's side, but I have no choice.

『It's in front of the castle huh』

I can still feel the huge magic power. I heard that the Count and the others have already evacuated the area, but Forrund must still be there. He seems to have been caught up in some unforeseen situation, but that man would not die so easily.

In some cases, we might even be able to fight together.
