Chapter 36: Debra (3)

Keisha had to invest all her assets to purchase the [Oradge's Mercy Package for the Third-Rate].

“E-Eeek!”

It seemed that the item, of which there was only one, was prepared just for her.

Why is the product name...!

To make matters worse, as if it were a prank by the Oradge, a brilliant neon sign passed through the community.

Congrat) ‘Magic Is Just For Support’ successfully purchased the 'Oradge's Mercy Package for the Third-Rate' from the Dimensional Store. (ulations

She quietly vowed not to go near the community for a while.

She quickly closed the community window and lowered her head.

On the table was the package she had purchased with all her Karma points.

Tremble tremble-

Her cheeks quivered with shame.

[Speedy! Precise! One-shot cut! Auto-targeting! Miniature Plasma Photon Cannon - Magic Wand Custom (Single-Use)]

[Perfect! Ironclad! Warm! Clean! Full-Body Defense Suit (3-Star) - Magical Girl Costume]

[Hacking Chip (???)]

No! Why! For what reason!

Countless questions passed through her mind, but there was no way to find an answer.

“Let’s calm down.... That’s not the important thing, after all. Besides, I heard how to use it.”

Keisha tried to rationalize her situation as she put on the rag-like suit and took the magic wand, or rather, the miniature photon cannon.

“Keut!”

She felt like she could die from embarrassment, but she could close her eyes to such shame for the greater good....

Squeak-

The Crown Prince entered through the open door and paused.

“....”

“....”

Silence ensued.

“Well, uh.... I respect your taste, but... no, nevermind. I shall wait outside.”

Shake shake-

Squeak- thud.

She looked down at the magic wand.

...Should I just shoot myself?

She suddenly wanted to die.

***

“I am more understanding than you may think. I shall try to appreciate your taste somehow.”

“Do you want to die?”

“Well, uh... saying that to the Crown Prince is a bit....”

“Be quiet!”

“....”

Keisha, dressed in a cute and bubbly pink outfit, was walking with a face that seemed about to burst red.

From her brisk walk, it was easy to guess that she wanted to move quickly.

The Crown Prince, also busy chasing after her, headed deep into the Imperial Palace.

“If it is not now, there may not be another chance. How about approaching more cautiously?”

He probably didn’t even know he was being watched every moment.

“Huh? But that’s....”

Beside the Crown Prince was a woman he recognized.

Well, it didn’t matter that more people had come since they couldn’t do anything anyway.

“Hmmm.”

He stroked his chin.

“Interesting. I am looking forward to it.”

He looked around at the devices floating nearby. They were invisible to the human eye, hidden with Transparency.

They were the most advanced weapons, equipped with functions from mana nullification devices to defense and interception systems.

“If anything happens, there’s also the satellite bombardment anyway.”

There was nothing to worry about. He waited patiently for their arrival.

***

The Crown Prince had to clench his fist to calm his trembling heart. In a way, it was unlike his usual self.

However, it couldn’t be helped

If I fail, it won’t just end with me being ruined.

There was a heavy pressure weighing on his shoulders.

If I don’t deal with him this time, the Empire will face destruction.

He couldn’t bear to see that. Determination gleamed in the Crown Prince’s eyes.

Many of the Empire’s high-ranking officials had already sided with the bastard.

Yet, the Crown Prince was more concerned about the Empire’s safety than his own.

I must succeed.

He swallowed hard, thinking of the dagger in his pocket.

Magic didn’t work on the bastard.

As such, he prepared the ‘Molar of the Poison Dragon’ hidden in his pocket.

An ancient relic from the Mythic Age when Dragons and Gods existed, the ‘Molar of the Poison Dragon’.

It was a relic that emitted poison hundreds of times stronger than the most potent poisons of the present age.

I just need to get in range.

Even a scratch from the dagger would do. The Poison Dragon’s Molar would bring forth death through such a wound.

The Crown Prince and Keisha headed to the underground of the Imperial Palace, where his laboratory was.

Upon looking at the occasional wires and ducts in the corridor, the Crown Prince’s eyes deepened. The underground prison, which once held prisoners, was now entirely converted into the bastard’s laboratory.

The reality of how the Empire turned out hit him hard.

Creak-

The rusted hinges of the thick iron door screamed.

As the door opened, a blue-skinned man greeted them.

“It’s been a while. Was your name Miss Keisha? You look especially beautiful today.”

His snake-like gaze lingered on Keisha.

“...What?”

For a moment, the Crown Prince’s mind went blank.

Was that bastard serious? Or was he mocking her?

No. Looking at his expression, it didn’t seem so.

Keuut! As expected of an alien...! He’s fundamentally different from humans.

He felt the racial difference in the alien’s aesthetic sense once again.

From behind the Crown Prince, Keisha’s voice, unable to lift her head in shame, came out.

“E-Eut!”

She ended up screaming as if having a seizure.

The Crown Prince couldn't believe his ears when he heard her words.

"DIE!!!!!!!!!!"

What?

No, nothing has been done ye-

BOOOOOM-

A flash of light covered the space.

With that, the Crown Prince was able to witness a dragon's breath, something only seen in the Mythic /genesisforsaken
