Chapter 40: New World III

Chapter 40: New World III

I was sitting on my bed in my room on the 9th Floor of Nazarick.

Felicity was standing beside the doors. It had been a day since the transfer. I used the 'Mirror of the Remote Viewing' to scout our surroundings.

The mirror was about 1 meter in height, with an oval-shaped bronze frame covering its sides and edges.

Momonga: 'Carne Village should be getting attacked by the Theocracy.'

Thinking this, I navigated the mirror to look for the Carne Village. Because I didn't know where it was located, it took me a minute to find it.

Surprisingly, it wasn't being attacked. The villagers kept going about their day.

Momonga: I guess I need to wait a few more days for the attack.

I changed my perspective to be near the tomb.

The tomb was surrounded by grasslands with a forest in the distance. The Earth was moving around the tomb, forming dummy hills.

Momonga: It looks like Mare is working on forming the hills.

During the period when Bukubukuchagama played Yggdrasil, I made an attempt to influence her decision, suggesting that she transform the twins into adult female characters.

But despite my relentless attempts, she ultimately made them the same as the original series. So, when she stopped playing the game, I edited their genders and age.

Unlike in the original series, both were 125 years of age. In terms of elves, they were now adults. I also changed their Flavor Text. One example of the new one would be that Mare doesn't like to cross-dress.

Momonga: Maybe I should go outside and meet with Mare.

Thinking about it, I got up from the bed and approached the door.Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Momonga: Felicity, I am going outside the tomb. You should wait here and handle anyone that asks for me.

Hearing this caused her mind to go into turmoil.

Felicity: Have I made a mistake?

Before I could exit the room, Felicity bowed deeply and spoke tremblingly.

Felicity: Please wait, master. It might be dangerous out there; please let me accompany you.

Momonga: Hmmmm. I don't need you to follow me. I can protect myself if needed.

Hering his reply caused her heart to burst into a million pieces.

Felicity: Please, master, if I have made a mistake, please punish me, but please don't take my job from me. A Shadow's job is to protect their master, even at the cost of their life.

She was on the verge of crying. But at this point, Momonga placed his right hand on her head and started patting her.

Momonga: Forgive me, Felicity. I wanted to tease you, but I didn't think it would lead to this.

Felicity: Please, master, don't blame yourself. I was in the wrong for not understanding your motives. I am a failure as a servant. Please punish me.

Momonga: Straighten up. You are not the one to blame. That is an order.

Hearing this, she stopped bowing.

Momonga: Now then, let's go outside.

Felicity: Understood, master.

She opened the door, and Momonga exited the room first, followed by her. They both kept leisurely walking through the corridors of the 9th Floor.

Momonga: It's fun teasing her.

Momonga amusedly thought.

Mare: I-I don't mind. I am willing to wait for an eternity for you. And I will make sure that you are satisfied by me.

Momonga: Hahahaha! I am glad.

We kept conversing for a few more minutes.

After conversing with Mare, I returned to my room using the Ring of AOG. Once there, I sat on a desk at one side of the room and started studying the Magic System of Yggdrasil.

Even though I had information about many Magic Systems, it was necessary to study it. The initial phase of my plan, irrespective of the New World's status as an alternate universe, was to attain the status of World Master. This was a crucial step in my new Path to Power, enabling me to transcend beyond Rank 1.

I only managed to decipher about 2% of the available spells of my Demon Variant. With an increase in the tier of the spell, its complexity also rose.

Momonga: Let's get started.

~Scene Change~

I was sitting on a sofa in one of the halls on the 9th Floor. It had been a few days since the transfer, and I was currently using the 'Mirror of Remote Viewing' to inspect the Carne Village, which was being attacked by the knights of 'Baharuth.'

Momonga: Finally.

I kept inspecting the villagers and saw two girls running away from the village. The older girl had blonde hair and fair skin, while the little girl had reddish-brown hair.

Momonga: 'Found you.'

The girls were being pursued by 2 knights. I had already made a decision about what to do with them both. If my plan succeeds, they will become my important pawns.

~Scene Change~

They were close to the outskirts of the village. Enri heard the sound of clanking metal from behind her as she ran. It was a rhythmic sound.

She looked behind, and two knights were following her and her sister. She took a deep breath and forced herself to soldier on.

She had no energy to waste on anything else. Her breathing was rapid, her heart beating hard enough that she felt it would burst, and her legs were shaking mightily.

Soon enough, she would be completely exhausted and collapse and not get up.

As she ran, she glanced behind again.

The distance between herself and her pursuers had not changed. Even in armor, the knights'man's speed had not decreased. This was the difference between a trained warrior and a village girl.

Sweat ran down Enri's back as her body went cold. If this kept up she would not be able to escape with her sister.

Her sister was on the verge of crying; the only thing causing her to hold back her tears was that she believed her sister.

She believed her big sister would save her.

Enri's younger sister was as tired as Enri herself. Therefore, she suddenly stumbled, yelped, and fell. Because of exhaustion, Enri couldn't stand up again, causing the knights to catch up to them.

Because they were trained warriors, reaching the sisters took only a few seconds. One of the knights slashed with his sword, causing a massive wound on Enri's back.

Her heart beat faster, and the pain spread through her body, along with the scorching heat of her wound.

The pain she had never felt filled her with fear and made her want to throw up. Perhaps vomiting would clear the feeling of nausea that filled her.

However, Enri was looking for a way to live, so she had no time to throw up. Although she wanted to abandon her struggle, there was a reason why Enri had not given up until now. That was the warmth pressed against her chest her younger sister.

Enri: 'I need to find a way to let Nemu live.'

She kept breathing heavily while protecting Nemu. She kept thinking of ways to save her, but fate was cruel.

One of the knights impaled his sword through her back and through her heart. The blade kept traveling and pierced the head of Nemu.

Blood kept dripping from their wounds.

The knight pulled back his sword, which caused their bodies to fall to the ground lifelessly.
