“…What are you trying to do, Helger? Why would the Imperial Guards, who are supposed to protect the country, would commit a terrorist attack? I guess we can’t trust people who work directly with the former emperor.” (Senate President)
“I think you should stop pretending. We already know what you are planning to do, that is why we are doing this.” (Helger)
There might be some resentment between the two.
He grabbed the Senate President, pushed him down, and said to him.
“You’ve been pushing us around a lot, you trash who’s doing harm to our country… You’ll be paying for what you’ve done.” (Helger)“D, Don’t get carried away, you military man who doesn’t know what national politics is…!” (Senate President)
The Senate President, who showed his irritation at Helger’s provocation, made a slight movement as if to escape from his bound hands.
“Stop him!!” (Helger)
Helger noticed the Senate President’s actions and immediately ordered his men to stop him, but he was one step too late.
The Senate President took out a dagger from the hem of his garment and threw it at Helger…
The dagger had a familiar appearance and also met the activation conditions it needed, which then released the magic power contained within it, causing a monster to appear.
Race: Huge Claw WolfLevel: 88
A huge wolf-shaped monster appeared out of nowhere.
It had huge, knife-like claws growing out of its five toes, and its ferocious-looking face glared at the [Bait] in front of it.
“What a surprise, this senate president really summoned a monster…!!” (Helger)
“I was wondering where to summon this wolf because of the tight security in the surroundings lately, but I guess all of you could be used as a sacrifice in just the right place!” (Senate President)
“Get ready, boys! …Hmph, looks like you’ve shown your true self a bit too quickly. Well, for our part, it’s a good thing…” (Helger)
“What are you talking about?” (Senate President)
“I certainly wouldn’t have the time to deal with you along with this monster. Well, that is if it was only us, the Imperial Guards, here.” (Helger)
“What are you…?” (Senate President)
The vigilance of the Imperial Guards did certainly heighten, and they made a formation according to Helger’s instructions, but me, who was also with their group, found myself laughing.
“Hahaha!”
Of all the monsters to put out here, to choose a wolf!
Compared to Rir, it had poor abilities and a poor physical appearance. It did look intimidating, but it was nothing.
The claws were huge and frightening. It looked like it could cut through an apple easily.
I was just watching the situation unfold, keeping my presence low, suppressing my magic, and then I stepped forward.
“Get down.”
I said it in a way that wasn’t intimidating, I didn’t even need to bring out Enne.
I just let go of everything I was holding back, stared at the wolf, and let my words sink in slowly.
“I’ll say it again. Get down. If you don’t want to die, don’t go against me. —I will kill you.”
“…Kuhn.”
“Hmm. Good boy. Good boy.”
I pat the wolf laying its head on the ground in front of me.
You’re a smart one who could make a wise decision, so I might release you into the Demon Forest and place you as part of the army of monsters under Rir’s control.
Perhaps the Senate President was trying to make me a part of the suspects of the terrorism using a similar monster, but this was a bad move for him.
If it had been something else, more like a bug-type monster that didn’t listen to my words and had little reason, it would have been somewhat of a battle.
“Na…!” (Senate President)
“That’s nice. Unlike idiots like you, they can sense the strength of their opponents just by looking at them.” (Yuki)
It was easier when dealing with wild creatures.
“That voice, is that the Demon Emperor Yuki?” (Senate President)
“Oh, add ‘Your Majesty’ to that. I’m going to execute you for disrespect. Oh, well, I’m currently not Yuki, so I don’t care.”
With a smirk on my face, I continued speaking.
“At this point, you can come up with anything you want. Tell me how terrifying the [trump card] you guys have prepared. Or are you out of stock? Helger, tie his feet so he can’t escape, but let him move his hands.”
Now it was clear that these guys had been hiding a few more monsters out there that were unknown to us.
At this point though, it would be easier to deal with him and his people and force them to spill everything out.
“…It will be of no use, no matter what you do, Senate President… You heard him, Mister Mystery Mask wants you to show him the best of what you have. If you have any magic tricks hidden, feel free to show it. We’re going to simply drag you away after this to a secret place. You’ll never see the light of day again.”
“Kuh…!” (Senate President)
