Chapter 6: The Muddy of Abomination

Avi: Hmph......

Has Erec's whereabouts been clarified?

Nobela: Yes.

Ever since the princess fled from Serefileu, my men have been following her.

Erech: They'll be here soon.

The ambush has been arranged.

They don't want to escape.

This is called catching a turtle in an urn.

Hahaha......

Avi: Hmph......

The Volta guy was happy at the mention of this woman.

But this girl named Ereco ......

I heard that it was very two-fold.

And the paladin who protected her was able to take a shot from Volta......

Nobela, is it up to you to catch them?

Nobela: What do you say......

I'm not going to miss that.

So I brought those guys from Runes as well.

They will not put up any resistance.

Hahaha......

Avi: Hmph......

If only things were going that well.

I'm going back to the imperial capital.

Nobela: Don't you want to enjoy the scene where Erec was caught?

Avi: I'm different from the other two, but I don't have that much to spare.

I have a lot of things to accomplish for that adult......

I don't have time to waste my extra time on a mere girl from Runes.

Those little things are just right for you lowly people to do.

Nobela: Yes, yes......

Well, be careful all the way......

Nobela: Whew......

Look at the weird old man.

As long as I capture Princess Runes, I will be on an equal footing with you......

Let's regret it later!

――――

Nobela: Uh......

Princess Ereke of Runes!

Accept your fate!

You have no escape!

Erec: !

What people!

Where did the sound come from......

Nobela: Oh, what a beautiful woman as rumored......

The wrist chakra happens to be worn on the hand as well.

So first of all, could you please give me the Wrist Chakra?

Seth:!

Erec: Wrist chakra?

What do you want to do with the Wrist Chakra!

Nobela: I don't know, because that's what His Majesty wants.

As long as I dedicate my wrist chakra to Your Majesty, I will be able to become a general......

Okay, give it to me.

If you do that, I can spare your life.

Seth: Princess Ereco, you can't give it to him.

Ereko: Yes......

Nobela: I'm honestly giving it to you for your sake, huh?

You arrived here to support Iverem, Prince of Runes......

But it doesn't make sense anymore.

Iverem has already been defeated.

Now he's locked up in a cell in the city of Rebar.

Waiting for the execution.

Erec: Brother, he'......

You're lying!

Brother, there's no way he's going to lose!

Nobela: Hmph, no matter what you call it, facts are facts, and nothing will change.

Iverem has already lost.

Defeated at the hands of our Gurad army!

Erec: ......

Nobela: If you still don't want to hand it over......

All right.

Hey, bring the hostages.

――――

NPC Lori: Help, help......

Erec: !

Nobela: She is a captive of your kingdom of Runes.

Alright, hand it over!

If she doesn't hand it over, she'll die!

Erec: ......

I understand. But you have to promise me that I can't hurt this child.

Seth: Princess Ereko, please wait a minute.

What is the Wrist Chakra......

Erec: It is not a substitute for the lives of people.

I beg your pardon, Seth.

――――

Nobela: Hmph, it's true.

Now, surrender all your weapons.

Seth: Forgive me.

If we hand it over, I'm afraid you won't let Princess Erek live.

We will not agree to such conditions.

Nobela: Hmph......

Although it is a knight who has sunk in peace.

But it doesn't seem to be that stupid.

Then the hostages are useless.

Oh yes......

An interesting thing came to mind.

I've heard that there are monster spiders in the area......

Let's use this hostage as bait for the monster.

Erec: What!

NPC Lori: No, don't!

Nobela: Hahaha! It's really worth a look!

That hostage will regret that he was born in Runes and be eaten by monsters!

Ereko: How can you ...... Can you do that......

You guys!

Nobela: Hmph, this is war! It doesn't matter how you treat the enemy in war!

Stupid words like you of the defeated of Runes......

Erec: Shut up.

Nobela: ...... What the?

Erec: I'm ......

We Runes ...... He has always maintained a long-term alliance with you, Gourd.

And now it was suddenly invaded by Gurad, the country was destroyed, and his father was killed in battle......

Even so! I still keep telling myself that I can't hate Goulard.

If I hate you from the bottom of my heart, the bond between the two countries will be severed forever.

In order to be able to restore peace to the country once again, I cannot be bound by hatred......

But......

If that's what Goulad did......

If the people of Runes deserve to perish......

I will never forgive you.

Nobela: W-This stinky girl!

He is already dead and dares to speak wildly!

Kill everyone for me!

――――

Nobela: Hahaha, if you want to hate it, hate Erech.

NPC Lori: Don't! Help me!

Nobela: Cry! Call it!

Hahaha!

――――

NPC Lori: Will we be eaten?

NPC Village: It doesn't matter.

Someone will come to our rescue.

NPC Villager 3:......

――――

Erec: Seth, let's hurry!

If the child is not rescued......

Seth: Wait a minute, Princess Erekor.

This is a trap for the enemy.

The fog in this area is thick and the view is poor.

I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of this fog to attack us.

Erec: Well, but if you don't hurry......

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!

――――

Koeman: I said, I'll leave it to me at this point.

A thief like me has a good eye.

If there is an enemy in the distance, you will not miss it.

[Character on the left side of the screen]: Really? So Koeman,

Excuse me to lead the way.

Let's go!

――――

NPC Lori: Wow!

Spiders, spiders......

No!

Stay back!

Help me!

Help me!

――――

NPC Lori: No, don't!

――――

NPC Lori: Ah......

――――

Nobela: Hmph...... Now is the time!

Orders were given to send reinforcements to attack.

I really want to see those guys panic!

――――

Nobela: Enemy, enemy......

I rushed to the front of me!

Damn it......

You guys don't hurry up and do something!

――――

Nobela: Hmm......

The day I came out......

――――

NPC Lori: ......

Erec: It's all right.

NPC Lori: Hmm......

Wow......

I'm so scared......

I'm so scared.

NPC Village: Thank you very much......

Thanks to your help, this child can be saved.

Well, please take this......

Thank you very much.

――――

Seth: His Majesty Frande, who has passed away, has commanded me not to tell you until the time is ripe.

But now even the Emperor of the Gulard, Pigard, already knew about it......

I must tell Princess Erek that you can't.

The secret about the wrist chakra you wear.

Arek: Okay......

Seth: As you know, Princess, Runes and the other four kingdoms have possessed the Sacred Stone since ancient times.

Erec: Yes. The Sacred Stone has been enshrined in the temple as a guardian stone to protect Runes......

Seth: The [Holy Stone] that the public is familiar with is nothing more than a well-made fake.

The True Runes' Sacred Stone......

It is now sealed beneath the city of Runes.

Erec: Huh?

Is this true?

Seth: yes. That's what His Majesty Frande told me.

Legend has it that the Sacred Stone destroyed demons in ancient times, and they possess power beyond human knowledge.

In order to prevent humans from being tempted by that power, the First King sealed the [Holy Stone] underground.

And the key to unlocking the seal is the wrist chakra......

That is, the pair of wrist chakras worn by you, Princess Ereq, and Prince Everem.

Erec: What is this wrist chakra......

However, the father did not ...... these things once.

Seth: When the world is facing a great crisis, tell them the secret of the wrist chakra.

That's what His Majesty Franco-German commanded me.

However, Prince Iverem should not know about this matter.

His Majesty Farder, thinking that something might happen to him, told me about it.

In order to be able to tell both of you about it in the future.

Erec: This wrist chakra has such a big secret......

Seth: yes. The only one who knows about this is His Majesty Fade, who has passed away.

Me and Princess Ereco.

No, that's how it should be......

Erec: But if that's the case, why did the Gurads want to get it?

Seth: I'm afraid......

Emperor Pigard somehow learned the secret from His Majesty Fard,

Then he did not tell the generals the details, but only ordered to grab the wrist chakra.

Erec: In order to be able to break the seal, secretly destroy Runes' Sacred Stone......

Seth: I'm afraid so.

Erec: In that case, the elder brother who owns the same [Holy Stone] is now ......

Seth: yes. Most of the enemies will attack the prince in order to snatch the wrist chakra.

Erek: Brother......

Seth: Princess Ereko, we must rescue Prince Iverem as soon as possible.

The retreating enemy should have already spread the word about us.

If Prince Iverium was really imprisoned in the city of Rebal......

In order to avoid our actions, the worst-case scenario is that the enemy may execute the prince.

Erec: Well, there can't be a moment's delay.

Let's go to Ciudad Rebar!

Get my brother out.
