Chapter 96
In most cases, it is difficult to move against this roar unless you are at least level 25 or have a very strong heart.
However, some of the soldiers still attacked even after being hit by the roar, but their attacks were repelled by Jerome\'s hard scales and failed to inflict even a scratch.
Anna releases the brainwashing of such soldiers from above Jerome-kun with the Holy Ice Awakening.
And finally, we made a forced landing in front of the castle.
Most of the soldiers who had come out to intercept us had already fallen under Jerome-kun\'s roar.
"He-here, all I have to do is knock everyone out, right?"
"Yeah, please."
"Okay, don\'t think as if you are in a m-mud boat, okay?"
"Oh, oh. That\'s right."
Anna and I landed on the ground and were about to run toward the gate. But a familiar person called out to me.
"Oops, Allen-boy, you can\'t leave me here, can you? This world is guided by the Saint of Charity. And to have such a woman dress like a saint is blasphemy against her, you know?"
"Master!"
What the hell, even master has fallen prey to that woman\'s poison!
Even so, there is nothing to be upset about.
This kind of thing is within the realm of expectation, of course.
I took out of my pocket the specially made gun loaded with non-lethal rounds for duelling and fired rapidly.
"What? Gah!"
Master kneels as it is, and Anna shoots the Holy Ice Awakening there. Then master\'s head was engulfed in ice, and it cracked immediately.
"Oh, hmm? Why am I in such a place?"
Master, having come to his senses, is looking around.
"Master."
"Hmm? It\'s Allen-boy, isn\'t it? Why are you here? And what the hell is going on?"
Master noticed me and asked curiously. Anna saw this and called out to master.
"You are Allen\'s swordmaster, right?"
"Hey, Allen-boy. Who is this beautiful lady dressed as a saint?"
"Master. She is my fiancée and the first princess of the Kingdom of Ramslett, Anastasia-sama."
"Geh. Ramslett\'s princess? Ex-excuse me."
Master hurriedly kneels to Anna.
"No, that\'s fine. More importantly, do you know where I can find a woman named Amy?"
"Amy? Ah, ah, that Saint of Charity-like person. Hmm? Huh? Hmm? Uh, come to think of it, why did I ever think of that woman as a Saint?"
Apparently, master who seems to have remembered the past little by little is twisting his neck.
"That is the power of that woman. More importantly, do you know where she is in the castle?"
"Ah, I didn\'t go in and out much, but I heard she is sitting on the throne these days, probably?"
"That woman, I\'m sure His Majesty the King is still alive……. Well, okay. Come on, Allen. Let\'s stop her!"
"That\'s right. Excuse me, Master. Oh, and please get out of here as soon as possible, okay? Both I and my mother now live in Wishen, so if you come over there, we can help you."
"Ah? Oh. Be careful! Allen-boy!"
"Yes!"
Once we were inside the castle, I created a smokescreen to hide ourselves. Then, holding hands firmly with Anna, I activated 【Concealment】.
This is also something I discovered through a lot of research for this time, that 【Concealment】 can hide people or things as long as they are in close proximity to the user.
I\'m not sure if this was possible because I had been using 【Concealment】 so much that my skills had leveled up, or if it was possible from the beginning, but I found out that it was possible anyway.
(T/N:- probably from the beginning, cause his weapons were invisible.)
Thus, with Anna\'s guidance, I easily made my way through the castle to the front of the throne room. Then I waited for the messenger to come and followed him to the throne room.
Then, there was Amy, sitting proudly on the throne in a flamboyant dress, with the Crown Prince and Markus on either side of her.
In mangas or games, this is where the quarrel with Amy will start with the statement \'Your evil doings will end here!\' or something like that.
But I\'m not going to be stupid enough to show up here to blabber on and increase the risk.
In the first place, I no longer care about Amy beyond my hatred for what was done to Anna.
We came here simply because Anna and the people we are supposed to protect would be in danger if we left them alone and because the world would be a mess, so we came to kill them.
Yes, that\'s really all there is to it.
So, we\'ll end it with a single blow.
"Now, goodbye."
I held Saiga up, pointed the muzzle at Amy\'s body, and pulled the trigger.
Doon
"Eh?"
"Ggh, gah!"
What a surprise! Even though they should not be able to react, Markus intervened between Amy and us and took her place to protect her.
"A…my, I\'m glad…I…was…protect…A…my…"
With these words, the strength slowly drained from Markus\'s blood-soaked body.
