Chapter 404: 16 Year Old Inglis and the Highland on Distance Sea (13)

"Oh, by the way, Professor Vilkin. Since we're here, could you address the side effects of the Hyrule Menace that shorten the user's lifespan? I would greatly appreciate it if that were possible."

If feasible, Inglis could allow Leone and Silva to utilize the weaponized Eris, making a weaponized Hyrule Menace always an option.

Well~ That~ Would be technologically complex, I suppose~? Structurally speaking~? Plus, if I managed that, the Duke of Art would have my head~ Its a massive issue, not just for Illuminas but for all Highlanders~

I see

He gently yet firmly rejected the idea. However, Inglis believed that eliminating the lethal side effect wasnt technologically out of reach.

The circuit that drew mana from the Special Grade Rune and the circuit that drained the user's life force were distinct. That allowed Inglis to block the life-draining circuit with Ether and use Hyrule Menaces without repercussion. She had essentially found a loophole, similar to the method employed by the Black Mask with Cystia.

That means, Miss Eris preferences come first A new feature is enticing, but the thought of not training with Miss Eris for a year or two is disheartening Especially now that she's warming up to the idea of sparring with me Choosing is difficult.

Honestly, most people would think more about the implications for their country or the world

I dont fight for such reasons.

Inglis declared, her smile unwavering. Inglis Eux doesnt align her strength with grand causes or ideologies. She believes those who do are seeking power for a cause, not for the sake of power itself.

Yet, she would reconsider if Rafinha desired it. That flexibility was also intrinsic to Inglis Eux.

Well, thats just like you You havent changed at all since we first met.

Eris sighed.

Thank you for the compliment.

That wasnt meant as a compliment.

She retorted coolly.

Before we discuss it, could you tell me do you think your superiors are listening to our conversation right now?

They had another task from Special Envoy Theodore: addressing Cyrene, who had transformed into a Magic Stone Beast.

Superior? The only superior I have here in Illuminas is the Duke of Art~ With the Levitation Magic Formation malfunctioning and our crash landing, hes been silent, so I doubt hes listening~

Weve noticed everyone panicking, but what do you mean by the Duke of Art being silent?

A particular phrase from Professor Vilkin piqued Ingliss curiosity.

Essentially, this entire island of Illuminas acts as the Duke of Art himself~ Hes the central system that oversees various controls within Illuminas~ Everything here is automated, which is quite handy, right~? Battleships assemble themselves~ Doors open automatically~ Flygears arrive and transport you anywhere upon command~ All these automated processes are overseen and managed by the Duke of Art~ He has transcended his physical form to become the central system guiding us all~1

I see The technology here is incredibly advanced, so that explains it

In essence, Illuminas, a highly advanced region of Highland, operated with one of the highest-ranking Highlanders, the Duke of Art, as its central system.

From what Inglis had learned from Duke of War Jeldegrva, the Duke of Art had his own personality and could communicate. However, with the Levitation Magic Formation down, communication was cut off, leading to widespread panic. Yet, First Professor Vilkin seemed as calm as if it were just another normal day.

This situation worked in Inglis' favor if the Duke of Art couldnt monitor them currently.

Thats fortunate. We have been entrusted with a sensitive matter

As Inglis spoke, Leones eyes widened in realization.

Thats right! Rene, its time to come out

Typically, Rene's preferred hiding spots were within Inglis' cleavage or with Leone.

Geez! N-, no, Rene, stay still! Hyau!?

With Inglis in her child form, Leone was now bearing the full brunt of it.
