261 – Waves (4)
“······Thank you, Vice Manager. “I learned another lesson like this.”
Theo, who was watching Taylor from the side, organized in his head the information and thoughts he had learned from the beholder.
‘It seems certain that Oswald is behind it, and they are currently concentrated around the underworld…’
After organizing his thoughts, Theo opened his mouth.
“Branch manager. I understood well. “Shall we dispose of this person?”
“hahahahaha, there is a better way than that.”
However, Taylor did not dispose of the raiser. Instead, he only provided treatment and released the person. The behemoth ran away in a hurry.
Eisha, who was looking at that scene, asked in a puzzled voice.
“Hey… Deputy Manager? “Isn’t it dangerous to let loose like that?”
“hahahahaha, I think there will definitely be more benefits than losses. You are not defenseless either. We took separate measures.”
Taylor shrugged his shoulders.
I don’t know what the measure was, but Theo was also persuaded by that confident attitude. In the first place, it was Taylor who extracted meaningful information about him.
Theo said to Taylor.
“I understand, Deputy Manager. So what should I do now?”
“It is best to quickly surround and attack the underworld. “Due to the nature of such groups, they change positions frequently.”
“Hmm. In that case, I will request support from the Polaris Knights. “The ability to actively respond to situations is low, but the number of people is large and the force itself is excellent.”
“That’s a good idea, Theo. “Maybe the local people know the route better.”
“I understand. “Then I will immediately ask Eve for her opinion.”
Theo immediately went to Eve, the head of the immigration office, and explained the whole story.
“······As we said, the terrorists’ stronghold we found out is around the underworld. “We are planning to raid before the sun rises, and I would like you to move the Polaris Knights accordingly.”
Eve, who was still unable to adapt to Theo’s changed appearance, answered hesitantly.
“······Hmm. Honestly, I understand… The knights are separate, Theo…? “You know, but the Knights are not a group that only listens to what the immigration office says and takes active action, right?”
Eve’s words were obvious.
Theo confronts the Polaris Knights directly and asks them to move.
However, the Commander of the Polaris Knights is currently the representative figure of the Balderk family. Naturally, I hate Theo, who insisted on blatant linealism.
‘Rather, the more famous I become, the more I become a person to be wary of.’
My bones have been hurting. If you go on your own, you will probably fail or only have half-success. There will be extreme waste of time and emotion.
However, Theo came with the future Balderk, the representative of the collateral family and the first person to become the head of the collateral family.
“I understand, Eve. “Let me make a separate request.”
After breaking up with Eve, Theo immediately went to see Aisha.
“You probably know the Commander of the Polaris Knights.”
“Uncle Maverick? Yes, I know to some extent… But why?”
Isha glanced at her eyes as if she was anxious.
And her anxiety became reality.
“Mobilize the Templar manpower and persuade them to surround the Polaris underworld. “I don’t have time, so do it now.”
Despite her confident attitude, Isha looked up at Theo with a dumbfounded face.
And then, before I knew it, she nodded.
‘······As expected, you look for me when you’re having a hard time!’
Whenever Theo was in a difficult situation, he asked himself a favor.
Of course, this is a request that is completely different from the previous one.
It is slightly ambiguous whether this request is from the ‘opposite s*x’ or from the ‘next head of the family’.
Eisha’s mouth opened.
“I understand, Theo. “I’ll see you right away.”
* * *
After entrusting Eisha to persuade the Polaris Knight Commander.
I headed to the underworld, the home of terrorists, with Amy, Taylor, Luna, and Sienna.
Upon arriving near the dark area, Luna spoke.
“I still can’t use magic. “A magic restriction barrier this extensive… They’re not usually in a bad mood.”
Sienna chimed in.
“Even my spirit friends don’t want to come out. Hey, kid. What did you do on Polaris before? “They’re openly keeping you in check.”
“Well? I think they only destroyed one or two buildings… “I don’t remember much other than that…?”
I asked Luna.
“Chairman. “Can’t anyone use magic above this barrier?”
“Yes, that’s right. No one can use magic on this barrier. “Maybe it’s Odius.”
“Then is it impossible to use magic scrolls?”
“Yes. When you use scrolls, it costs quite a bit of mana, right? If it’s blocked this tightly, you can’t even use a magic scroll. “I think it was designed to prevent the mana in the body from being used at all.”
“I see.”
Theo nodded his head cheerfully.
After removing this barrier with [Nullify Magic], I thought about enabling Luna to use magic, but I don’t think I need to do that.
No one can use magic or scrolls on this barrier.
‘Oswald, you bastard, you’ve got your head on something else.’
Oswald is a berserker style with a strength in close combat. Of course, the less variables such as magic and spirits exist for him, the better.
Paradoxically speaking, the fight against him will mainly be hand-to-hand combat.
‘There is no better opponent than this.’
This is a good stage to show the results of my training with Ney.
Of course, if you don’t think that’s possible, you can remove the barrier with [Nullify Magic] And then leave it to Luna.
While thinking about that, Taylor raised the corners of his mouth and said.
“hahahahaha. The measures taken earlier worked. “It’s a big fish.”
“What’s going on, Deputy Director?”
“The current location of the group of raisers has been identified. “It’s only about 3 minutes from here… Hmm.”
“Why are you doing that?”
Taylor closed his eyes at my question.
It seemed as if a specific scene was being transmitted into my head.
Taylor soon opened his mouth.
“The number is quite large. There appear to be 20 people. Among them, the one who appears to be the leader seems quite strong.”
“Are you able to see what they are like?”
“hahahahaha, faintly. “It is a power bestowed upon us by the great Lenimide.”
I was speechless and looked at Taylor calmly.
‘······I was able to use divine power.’
He seems to be quite good at using that too.
Taylor is an extraordinary healer who uses mana, which is inefficient for ‘healing’, to heal others.
Should we say that mana and divine power are like water and oil? In general, those who have a high mana amount or are good at mana have low or no sacred power and are not good at handling mana.
The more I looked at Taylor, the more strange he seemed.
At that time, Taylor said.
“Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to step aside for a while.”
“Why are you doing that?”
Ney answered my question.
─Hey. A group of about 20 people is quickly approaching this direction. One of the crabs is particularly energetic. Will he fight back or will he step aside for a while?
At the same time, Taylor also said the same thing. They’re coming.
Although it lacks the number of pages, it is a pity to leave here.
In a way, it was an opportunity to kill them all with one blow.
If we leave here, they will disperse again.
‘Will I be able to hold out until the Polaris Knights arrive?’
I decided to give it a try.
I took out the [Elemental Sword] From my [Subspace Bag] For the first time in a while.
“It’s a pity to leave like this. “I’m planning to fight here until the knights arrive, but is there anyone who wants to join me?”
“As a secretary, I just stay by your side.”
“hahahahaha. “If Theo will do it, I will do it too.”
Amy and Taylor immediately took a countermeasures stance.
“You get all the sympathy from the child because you can’t use magic and spirits.”
“hehehe, Theo. Are you good at using that sword? “Have you already forgotten?”
Luna and Sienna also took a similar stance.
I said with a slight smile.
“Then, over there. “Let’s move to a secluded place.”
* * *
Oswald, who was running in the lead, shouted to his men running behind him.
“Run faster, you guys! “The silver-haired bastard’s head finally came rolling in!”
“Yep, I understand!”

Oswald asked again.
“Yes, yes! “It’s nearby, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. You will see the shape within a minute. Oh, I can see it over there!”
Suha pointed to a point with his finger.
Theo and his group were seen holding swords in a secluded alley. He even saw Luna Flora, who had once again awakened the feeling of fear in him.
Oswald shouted frantically.
“Kk, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! “Today is the day that really won me over!”
Oswald sublimated fear, anger, and other fundamental human emotions into violence.
“I’m here, you bastards!”
I shouted loudly, but they didn’t respond.
Kugugugugu—─!
Instead, a large stone wall rose between them and themselves.
