Vol 4: Chapter 27

When I easily tossed the 6-star skill orb back to the Marshal, he had a puzzled look.

(I originally intended to return it, though)

I think I saved Sumerias life by pulling it out. Had she continued to useInsane Blade, the skill orb would have surely robbed the girls life. I dont know if she used the skill orb aware of that fact or not, but I couldnt find it in myself to leave her to her fate.

My purpose is to release the Levs. Thats all.

Compared to Dragonewt City, the Underground City seems to be in possession of skill orbs, but even so, I dont think it is in abundance when looking at most of the people around.

That would mean the chances of having a rare skill orb likeOrb Detachment will be next to none.

If they did have one, then thats fine. If they intended to take out the skill orb later, that is.

But if they didnt, Sumerias death was all but sealed.

(I dont want Sumeria to die after everything I did to save her life.)

Speaking of what would happen to Sumeria if I chose not to return the skill orb, she might have been abandoned because she isnt needed anymore. Food supply is tight in this world.

However, if I return the skill orb, she will be useful.

She will be used to confirm the information I gave. And in the future, when considering how to use the 6-star skill orb, Sumerias input as a living witness will be indispensable.

I dont need such an atrocious skill.

(Now that I think about it, all the 6-stars skills I have encountered have been dangerous. Perhaps the Knight Commanders of the Kruvan Holy Kingdom who inherited theHoly Sword Technique from generation to generation do not fight on the front lines probably because of adverse side effects or perhaps the cost to use the skill is too high.)

Well, at any rate, my purpose here was fulfilled. The surroundings have been destroyed and scattered with debris, but that was not my fault

When I was about to chase after the Levs and escape, an underground woman who looked like the boss of an evil organisation appeared and suddenly started screaming.

I never expected anything from you since the beginning! If you cant do it, just say so!

Sorry, I

Get out of my way!!

The Marshal almost fell when the fat woman pushed him aside, but he was able to avoid it. Even though I already returned the skill orb Wait, I dont think the woman is even aware of it.

Bastard Im gonna kill you for rampaging in my city!

Sumeria wasnt the underground citys strongest fighter?

I raised my guard in response.

Come out! Mediator!! Your enemy is here!

At that moment, the surrounding was surrounded by darknessmy train of thought halted for a second.

Mediator.

The being I encounter at the First Altar in the Holy City.

It killed Louis and took over his body.

It screamed something about the Covenant, and at the end it summoned Ouroboros and disappeared.

A being which is equal to a dragon in the Front World.

Although the surroundings were dyed black, the light from the magic lamp carried by several people was still radiating. I saw the people in the surroundings trembling.

Why have you called for me, pledger of the Covenant?

Hes above.

Standing with arms folded in the air as if there was scaffolding in the sky.

The body was clad in dark purple metal armor, and black flames were spouting from the gaps.

The full-face helmet had gaps for the eyes. Red eyes were peeping through it.

As I said! Your enemy is over there!!

Only the woman who called the mediator seemed cool with this situation. Those who followed around her were astonished.

I finally regained my composure.

Right. The Back world is the mediators home, isnt it?

You are the Child of Disaster!?

I sensed discomposure in the mediators voice when he noticed me.

Can you stop calling me that? It bothers me a lot.

I have gone through a lot of hardship all my life because of black hair and black eyes. I had close encounters with death several times. My parents abused me and wanted to kill me. The Duke at the Sixth Mine also wanted to kill me. And then I was chased by House Ebene, one of the 6 Great Duke of the Holy Kingdom.

What did I do to deserve all this?

So you can come out more easily when called in this world, huh? And it seems like you can speak normally, unlike in the front world.

Clearly, he talks more normally than during the time at the First Altar.

Pledger, you can call me only when there is a breach of the Covenant.

While glaring at me, the mediator spoke to the evil boss woman.

T-That guy destroyed my city! Even a 6-star skill couldnt defeat him He obviously cheated!

Does that mean there was no breach of the Covenant?

When the mediator raised his hand, the dark dome was released.

What is the point then!? You pushed that Covenant thing or whatever onto me, and dont want to help me at a time of trouble!? If I die, youre the one who will be in trouble!

There wont be trouble.

Wha!?

It doesnt matter whether you all die, or the creatures of this world go extinct That is the fate of this world.

The mediator kept his eyes on me while talking to the evil boss woman.

But this guy is the Child of Disaster. He has nothing to do with the Covenant, but

Black flames erupted from the mediators body.

The moment he turned his body towards me, he started closing the distance with tremendous acceleration.

His fist came down on me like a lightning bolt descending from heaven.

While dodging back, I usedEarth Magicto erect an earth wall in front of me.

The mediators fist connected with the ground where I stoodthe ground caved about 1 meter deep, and shock waves were sent through the ground. The boss woman was blown away with all her attendants. My earth wall crumbled away, so I planted both legs firm on the ground.

Whether it was because of the explosive sound or not, all I could hear was a high-pitched sound in my ears, making it difficult to hear the surrounding sounds.

You are not related to the Covenant, but you must be eliminated.

Although it was hard to hear, I know I heard something unpleasant.

He called me a disaster, and now is trying to directly eliminate me.

This guy killed Louis, killed the knight commander, and not only messed up the young ladys skill orb awarding ceremony, but also summoned Ouroboros, which wrecked a number of houses in the Holy City.

I dont know about the casualties, but surely there must have been a lot of injured people. It would also cost a lot of money to rebuild the houses.

You dont care about all the trouble you caused, do you?

Ah, no matter how mild-mannered I am.

Normally I dont use these words, but I cant think of anything else.

I pointed my index finger at the mediator.

Im gonna beat you to a pulp, bastard.

I almost wanted to kill him.
