It's like the effect of Sakiya's time pause.

The flying knife didn't have a so-called flight trajectory at all, so it appeared directly in front of Yakumo Mo.

This time, there were a total of six throwing knives, blocking the space where Yakumo Mo could dodge from all directions.

But—

"As I said, the realm of far and near is not what you use."

The flying knife stopped in front of Yakumo Mo, and he couldn't move an inch.

It's not that it's paused, it's that the distance between the throwing knife and Yakumo ink has been stretched indefinitely.

In the end, the six knives that had lost their flight power landed weakly at Yakumo Mo's feet.

In this empty and lonely throne hall, a crisp voice sounded.

"What is your purpose?"

Yakumo asked.

"Before I came, I got news that the [UnderWood] underground city, the eastern side, and the southern district were all attacked by the Demon King."

"The demon kings who have always been loners are actually acting in unison this time, what is your purpose?"

Yakumo asked.

The voice is flat, and I can't hear joy or anger.

His Highness gently patted the bell beside her and motioned for her to stand back—

"Your Highness?"

"Stand down, go meet Aurora, and then go with the plan."

“…… But, well! ”

After a brief hesitation, Suzu exited the throne hall.

For their so-called [plan], Yakumo guessed a little.

Knowing that the other side was not the host, their plan was nothing more than to launch an attack during the truce of the trial decision.

[It's a pity, if that guy is here for Sixteen Nights, your so-called surprise attack is doomed to be useless]

Thinking like this, Yakumo Mo did not stop Suzu's departure.

"You seem to be able to manipulate distance just as much as Suzu." His Highness said suddenly, "Plus the discomfort of gravity when I fought just now...... Can you manipulate the concept of plurals? ”

"Oh yes. You didn't answer my question, and I don't seem to have to answer you. ”

His Highness suddenly laughed, "You are really a very interesting person, how about quitting [NoName] and joining us?" ”

"This kind of direct digging of the foot of the wall should not be repeated."

Yakumo frowned slightly, and [Nine Heavens] suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Answer my question honestly, you should know that you are no match for me."

[Didn't stop Suzu's departure at all...... Does the other party still have a backhand? 】

His Highness thought to himself. I was more and more careful.

"Aren't you going to answer?"

Yakumo shook his head.

【Mesh of Light and Darkness】

The moonlight shining through the crumbling dome distorted in His Highness's astonished gaze.

The light was clearly divided into bundles, and except for the places where it passed, the rest of the space was actually in a state of invisibility like a black hole.

The distorted beam of light formed a cage in an instant, trapping His Highness in it.

And then—

Yakumo gently lifted his right foot, then lowered it.

A huge burst of impact that is completely out of match with this action.

The marble floor cracked, and the scattered shards reflected His Highness's stunned face like a mirror.

The space was wailing, and when His Highness was finally able to look around normally, he found that he was no longer in the throne hall.

It's a dark space, with no up, down, left, right, and ends, and no way to accurately produce a sense of direction.

Bands of light formed by blooming lilies and various intertwined concepts swim in it.

Suddenly-

An invisible pressure came.

His Highness could no longer remain calm. He raised his arms high.

Bounce back to everything in the world! Avatāra！！

The golden light exploded.

The torrent of demonic power was blocked by the golden light, and then reflected back.

What was supposed to erupt was a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth, but when it reached His Highness's ears, it turned into a low cry like a mosquito.

[Are all the senses wrong?] 】

His Highness kept speculating in his heart.

"It's useless." Ya Yunmo shook his head, "This is the [Gap] that does not belong to any normal order space, and everything here is up to me." ”

"In between?"

It's a term I've never heard of.

"Although I am not the predecessor of the Four Seasons of the Four Judgments, for some reason, I can still see some of the good and evil attributes in others."

Yakumo said slowly.

"You. And the little girl just now is not a bad person, so tell your purpose. I'll let you go. ”

I don't know who the so-called "Shiki Senior" is, but it's probably the same god as Yama, right?

His Highness smiled bitterly in his heart.

"I think you're more focused on how to crack the game than that, right?"

"No, we already have a clue how to crack it."

Yayunmo's words made His Highness hesitate slightly.

“…… Hehe. "With a wry smile, His Highness said." I thought you might crack the game, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I don't know what the storyteller would think if he knew that his elaborate game had been cracked so quickly. ”

"Storyteller? This game wasn't designed by Leticia? ”

"Exactly." His Highness nodded, "Back then, the vampire clan who were the knights of the box court were able to obtain the thirteenth sun sovereignty because of their merits, but it was precisely because of this. The members of the vampires who coveted this power launched a rebellion in a vain attempt to kill the royal family in order to gain solar sovereignty, but in the end, the king at the time, who is also called Leticia, used this game to put down the rebellion. ”

"And this game is said to have been given to Leticia by the storyteller."

"I see." Yakumo suddenly realized, "No wonder the punishment is so severe, the punishment of puncture, nailing, and burning at the stake...... Was it set up to punish the rebels? ”

His Highness did not speak, apparently acquiescing.

Then, he suddenly asked, "Now, do you know the [Plenipotentiary Dominator]? ”

"What's that?"

"When all the rulers of the estate are eliminated or only one person remains, that person becomes the ruler of the entire estate, temporarily granted the status of four figures, one of the sovereigns of the sun, and the right to choose the rulers of the other estates."

“…… So, your target is actually the Plenipotentiary Dominators? ”

"Guess what?"

His Highness suddenly smiled wickedly.

"I don't guess."

Yakumo shook his head.

"I choose to beat you."

“…… Ahh!??h ”

◇

"No, no!! Lady Sarah!!! ”

In the council chamber, the heralds rushed in in a panic.

"The enemy is attacking again!!"

"What?"

Sarah slammed to her feet from her throne and slammed her fist into the armrest.

"How's it going?"

"Very bad! The front line has completely collapsed!! ”

Sarah's face immediately turned pale.

It was only after it was attacked, and the dragon's previous actions had brought a heavy blow to the Alliance, and now if the other party suddenly launched an attack during the truce......

"Lord Sarah! Let's go and help first! ”

Jen stood up and said.

Sarah closed her eyes in thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"No, judging from what you said just now, it should be possible that Yakumo is investigating ways to crack the game, you go over there, as for the defense of the underground city."

The right hand of the clenched fist is raised high.

"We're in charge!" (To be continued.) )
