309 – Secret Warehouse Battle (4)
After defeating all the demon knights, Chester, Monia, and Rex stood in front of the secret warehouse entrance.
I told Urgo and Lorwan to rest for their hard work, and asked Senna to take care of them.
So, now there were three people standing here.
“There is only one left.”
I used a lot of grace from the top. I used it on Urgo and Lorwan who were almost dying, I used it on Senna and Rex before, and before that I had no choice but to use it when it was absolutely necessary.
Originally, there would still have been plenty left, but since the large chunk of grace at the top was swept away and lost in a storm, the grace at the top inevitably became insufficient.
So what was left was a piece of water that was now in Chester’s hand. It was the grace at the top of the largest piece that had been stored in a water bottle before being swept away by the storm.
“Monia.”
“Yes.”
Monia cautiously extended her hand to the entrance to the secret warehouse. When Monia’s hand touched a round iron plate on the floor that looked like a manhole cover but was much larger than it, a mysterious letter appeared on the plate.
Because it was an old kingdom language learned and used only by some nobles, Chester did not recognize it even though it was clearly the language of the Viend Kingdom.
And after a while, the door that read the Duke’s blood flowing through Monia opened quietly and welcomed Monia.
“…… This is my first time here since I came when I was seven years old. “Let’s go in.”
The secret warehouse was connected to a fairly deep underground area.
I could feel a fresh breeze coming in from a round hole in the wall, and there was an unidentified luminescent material around the hole where the wind came out, emitting light and brightening the dark basement.
“It’s quite spacious.”
“It’s a warehouse where the duke’s family’s treasures are stored, right? “This much is natural.”
The aisle was so wide that Rex could dance with his arms spread out.
As Chester went down the stairs, Anubis tapped the decorations made of jewels and gold on the sides of the stairs. Why did they decorate it like this in a warehouse they wouldn’t even show to others?
‘I’ve worked by their side for such a long time, but I still don’t understand the nobles.’
Too obsessed with useless things. The same was true for the Duke down there now.
Burning a chunk of land just to wear a crown on your own head? Is that normal?
‘If I don’t use that, I won’t be put on my knees somewhere.’
More power. More money. More power. There is so much to wish for.
This was the thought of a thief who shamelessly said he would come to a secret warehouse in someone else’s house and take some money.
How far underground did it go?
Suddenly, the stairs disappeared and a flat road appeared before my eyes.
After walking a little further, a door appeared, and Monia placed her hand on the door, which had neither hinges nor a handle.
The Old Kingdom language flowed over the door again, and after a while, the door began to quietly open.
* * *
The door opened, and Chester found a person wearing navy blue armor sitting in a room richly decorated like a nobleman’s private room.
A demonic knight stood behind the man, and a butler stood next to him.
Monia sat down on the chair that seemed to have been reserved for them, lifted one of her cookies from the table in her hand and looked around as she spoke.
“It’s been a while, Dad.”
“… ….”
“My daughter greets me warmly, but she doesn’t say anything. It’s not because she stays alone in such a gloomy place that it ruins her. “Is it because she can’t stand upright that her head can’t turn properly?”
And, Monia’s words, which made her mind dizzy, disturbed the composure of her butler, who had been silent and did not say anything until now.
“K-huh! …… “I’m sorry.”
Neither Raynald nor Monia cared that her butler was embarrassed, and Monia flicked the cookie in her hand with her finger and let it fall back on her table.
“I haven’t really thought about what I should say when we meet again, so I have nothing to talk about. Hmm.”
“…… You’re also good at lying. “You came to kill me?”
“What? What are you saying now? Huh, it’s really funny.”
At Raynald’s words, Monia chuckled and wrapped her arm around the shoulders of her Chester, who was sitting next to her.

“I’m sorry, Dad, but your presence is like a fingernail in my life, isn’t it?”
You can cut it down at any time, and even if you cut it, it grows back quickly, so it’s not worth worrying about.
Raynald, who had heard Monia’s gossip in a roundabout way, looked at Chester.
“I didn’t come to see my dad, but I needed some money so I thought I could get it from here. But my dad was here. That’s all. Okay?”
Monia continued her words while lying on her back on Chester’s thighs, and Raynold, who was watching the action, sighed as if he was dumbfounded.
“Kill it.”
And I ordered the demon knight.
– Hmm. That won’t work?
The demon knight said something that Raynald did not expect at all.
“What is going on now?”
– Yes, you are the highest commanding authority, but if you die, who will be next in command? It’s that girl. And what if that girl dies? There is no one.
The devil said, spreading his arms as if asking for something obvious.
– I am a created being. Someone has to give orders. Someone, definitely. It’s absolutely necessary. And now the only people left in this world with commanding authority are you and that girl.
“If I’m there, you can kill me, right?”
– You should always prepare for unexpected situations. Sorry, but I can’t reduce the number of people in command to less than two. If there are three, you can kill the one with the lowest command priority.
While Raynold looked like his head was hurting in such an unexpected situation, Chester carefully watched the devil.
‘If I try to kill Raynald, will they try to interfere? I’m not sure…….’
When Chester gave the signal, Monia asked the devil.
“There you are, then.”
– Why is that?
“Even if my father and I try to kill each other, are you going to interfere?”
– That’s not it. I won’t touch you, that much. The rest is up to you.
The moment the devil answered like that, Monia shot a starflower towards Raynald.
However, the invisible arrow was blocked by the armor’s power to block long-distance attacks and bounced in all directions.
“Huh?!”
The butler, caught by the bounced arrow, fell to the ground, and Chester suddenly kicked the table in front of him, sending it flying toward Raynald and stabbing Anubis.
At the moment when his view was blocked by the table, Raynald, who was holding his shield out in front of him, was surprised when Anubis, which split the table like butter and popped out, was blocked by the invisible shield.
‘You have quite a bit of strength.’
However, he is not the same as the one who received the armor’s power.
The Duke, who struck down Anubis with great force, took out his long sword with only the handle, turned the dial on the handle of the long sword to increase the length of the blade as much as possible, and swung the long sword.
Immediately after swinging, the long sword, which extended its range as long as possible, formed a blade following the trajectory of the handle and cut down everything in its path.
Kaaang!
Sharp sounds heard at the same time.
The table that had been cut by the blade fell and fell, and Raynald checked the long sword after confirming that the Chester family, wrapped in a golden curtain, was standing unharmed.
Unfortunately, after swinging the sword at its maximum range, I needed some time to prepare before I could swing it again.
“uuu!”
Rex took advantage of the opportunity and launched himself, and Raynold, who was struck by Rex’s attack, which swung at a speed that his eyes could not follow, was sent flying straight into the wall.
– Oh my, this is dangerous.
The demon chuckled at the sudden start of the battle and retreated to a corner so as not to interfere with the battle.
“… Ugh.”
And while the Chester family paused for a moment to watch the devil retreat, Raynold, who had recovered from the shock of being blown away, swung his handle at the maximum range again.
Suddenly.
There was a sound of something being cut, and Rex’s chest split open and his blood spurted out.
“Rex!”
Unlike Rex, who stepped forward, Chester and Monia, who were out of range and unharmed, were embarrassed when Rex suddenly started bleeding, so they hugged him and laid him on the floor.
“Dad! I’m fine!”
Rex tried to hold on, saying it was okay, but no matter how you looked at it, it was not okay to see his internal organs spilling out from the cracks.
“Use it! Stay still! “Listen to me!”
“It’s okay!”
“It’s not okay!”
While Monia was arguing with Rex, Chester, who gave Monia a bucket of water, opened his tent again to block Raynald’s attack.
‘It looks like that sword cannot be swung multiple times at once. Then, stay close and fight.’
Immediately after blocking the attack, Chester quickly rushed towards Raynald.
The distance between Chester and Raynald decreased at an incredible speed, and Chester’s Anubis and Raynald’s shield collided.
‘If you shoot light in a narrow underground space, the entire warehouse can collapse. So, I will kill you like this!’
Immediately after Anubis was blocked by the shield, Chester quickly pulled out a knife from his arms and stabbed it into Raynald’s eye socket.
