Chapter 389 Ancient White Star Stone

In the head of a puppet soldier

Adombralys new eye produces a mana crest thats tinged in a light, reminiscent of a white night, around its eyeball.

Nn, senpai introduced them as new Red Moon Super Soldiers, but is this yet another new version after the eyeball entered it?

At a glance, only the number of eyes has increased, butthats not all. I feel some kind of martial art from its footwork.

The puppet possessed by Ado has been continuing its street-performer-like demonstration. Its a unique way of movement including weapon swings and kicks

I can only agree with Eva and Rebeccas praising comments. But, Rebecca represents the view of a professional here. It allows me to clearly perceive that her discernment of martial arts has improved quite a bit.

The Kulbul Style seems to consist of only thrusting techniques, butits mana work that keeps a good balance with the Magic Combat Style and its muscle work for the abdomen and spine, which focuses on a strong trunk, are extremely deep.

Guildmaster, youve always been pullin off some crazy stunts, but this is yet another new height, said Bennett while taking a few steps backwards as she tightly grasps a dagger.

Nearby, Bia seems to also feel shaken by Adombraly who performs all those weird moves. With her thick trunk tremblingshe holds up her magic s.h.i.+eld in front of her chest.

This magic s.h.i.+eld will be able to block it.

Should I cut it?

Watching from the side, Souther touches Bias waist while smiling.

The Adombraly eyeball with its wings is an item close to a devil tool, right? The moment this Red Moon Puppet Soldier enters ma.s.s production, well go far beyond a dark guild and well become able to crush any empire or kingdom in our way.

Melyou start to sound just like Helme

However, there exists only one eyeball which is currently inhabiting the puppet. I think itd be impossible to ma.s.s produce this version of the puppet soldier.

Its a huge shock that the puppet soldiers, who gained a new eye thanks to that Demonic Marquis Ado-something, has been easily ripped out of my

s domination, but since its movements have drastically improved in return, I can accept it

You look happy.

Yep. That Ado originally originates from the ring-shaped magic tool on your finger, right guildmaster? Then it means that my puppet soldier has fused with your item. Thats why Im happy, Veronica explains with a smile.

I tell Ado, whos in the middle of his demonstration, Adombraly, you can move it freely, cant you?

Of course. This Red Moon Puppet Soldier or whatever that uses ancient bones is made fairly well, considering its something created on the surface. Im positive that its superior to any first-cla.s.s warrior of the Spirit World.

Hee. You mean those Spirit World skeletal warriors, right?

Yes.

Its moving awfully well, but is that a demonoid martial art?

CorrectI can recreate around a tenth of the movements I was capable of in the past. Since I can also handle weapons other than whip swords, Im able to adjust as long as you provide me with a weapon of your choice, milord.

The whip in Adombralys hand returns to being a staff again.

His quick way of talking hasnt changed, but now weve got two demonoids?

Demonoid Zarlp just nods at Rebeccas comment without being overly perturbed.

Well, I guess its something along those lines.

Hmm? Wait. Does that mean he can also hijack the new sorcery doll Mysty is creating? In such a case, the new doll would definitely become quite formidable.

Milord, that eyeball sure is special, comments Ajul while spreading his four arms.

At his waist hangs the Mad Sword of Lanwen, one of the Spirit World 68 swords, which I gave to him.

Looks like it. Anyway, Adombraly, can you return to normal?

If you tell me to, Ill return at once.

Then do so.

Got it.

The puppet soldiers third eye vanishes in an instant, and Ados eyeball pops out atop the helmet. After slowly floating through the air while transforming into a ring shape, Adombraly settles down into being my ring again.

Alright.

Hee, he became a ring again. Guildmaster, Im going to give you that puppet soldier Adombraly had entered.

Roger. I might have an opportunity to use it as a combat option for Ado.

Oki.

The puppet autonomously sheathes its sword into the scabbard on its back, and walks up next to me.

So, Zarlp, are you allying yourself with Moon of the Dignified Heaven? Or are you going to join? You called out to me in secret, so youve already made up your mind, havent you?

Please take care of me from now on.

The instant Zarlp answers my question calmly, his daughter Mel speaks up, Yes, Dad has been protecting me from the shadows, and further explains, Knowing about that,Eva-san and Rebecca-san have also agreed. So I invited Dad over. And, Crimson a.s.sas.h.i.+n, whos been fighting Dad to the death on several occasions, belongs to Skull Ogre, a guild thats hostile with ours, you see? To go further, even the Underworld Martial Arts a.s.sociation, which is infiltrated by Demonoid Cueberass subordinates, is at strife with us. So we have many points in common.

Is that so?

Yes.

Zarlp is strong, so hell definitely boost the combat power of our dark guild.

My daughter has already mentioned most of the reasons, but its also a fact that I hold interest in the spearmaster who wields arms mighty enough to damage my blood layer. Well, the real reason is that I have to look out for my hide as well. Youre the boss of a huge organization in Pelneet, and I dont have any reason to be hostile towards you either.

I think Zarlp is being honest here. As for the strife with Demonoid Cueberas, I honestly dont know. But, Ive actually seen with my own two eyes how he was being chased by the Martial Arts a.s.sociations

Silkworm

thats why hes likely expecting that hell be able to concentrate on his own objectives if he enters under our umbrella.

Its no wonder that hes continued living while fighting to protect his daughter for many, many years.

Mel, you as a

Moon of the Dignified Heaven

Please count on me. I wont allow anything to go wrong, not only with the

Blood Moon Star Sea Alliance

, but also our activities in this kingdom. Remrona, Fran, Kilie, the second princeas well as Eva-san are also involved, but were all in close contact.

Eva? I havent really heard anything about that, butI can imagine.

Sure. Well then, were off to Cydale, I use the Trapezohedron.

Guildmasters blood has to wait a bit longer, huuuh?

Yep. Youre someone whos aiming to become an empress, so dont act so dependent.

After answering Veronika with a laugh, I surveyed everyone. The maids and

are all bowing. Nodding one last time at Ajul and Zarlp, I step through the mirrors gate, transferring to the mirror in Cydale.

Were on the second floor of my home here. I think its a bit bigger than Ajuls hut.

Nn, it doesnt give you the feeling of an attic. s.p.a.cious.

It seems to be drafty, but it has an interior design I havent seen often.

Well, I created a catwalk for my cats above. Theres also windows for the cats at the sides.

Heeyoure right. Now I see them as well. A small cute wooden door next to the pillar. It even comes with a k.n.o.b that cat paws can open and close. How funny.

Nn, it has a complex structure for an attic

Just like a carpenter, Shuuya has built a house that looks tough to build in a flash. Youve told us about it in your blood messages, but it goes well beyond what Ive expected. Moreover, you dont even possess any expert skills for this.

Originally Ive only put together some lumber for a bit.

Thats the amazing part about it, but do you actually understand that?

Well, since it feels like building blocks, I frankly admit my honest thoughts while recalling the time when I played with Lego.

Im shocked, but well, its typical for you, I guess.

Hehe, itd be absolutely impossible for Rebecca.

Aahh Dont be so cheeky, Eva!

Rebecca moves while capitalizing on her Kulbul experience, extending her hand towards Eva whos sitting in her wheelchair. However, Eva easily copes with the attack.

Quickly evading Rebeccas fingers by inclining her head, she clads her entire body in violet mana. Then she floats up, leaving the wheelchair behind. Just like an esper.

Of course, I zoom inon Evas forbidden zone above her upper thighs, checking out her panties. Theyre striped in black and white with a cute bear print in its center.

Taking to the sky is unfair!

Nn, my special privilege.

Humph, Im going to make my blue flames go puff-puffso, sooner or later

Come to think of it, what about the puff-puffs? Theyre not here?

No. I think theyre on patrol. Since theyve chased after Alray and Hueremy of the Rollo Squad, I believe youll find them in the villages center.

I suppose Rollo-chan is playing around since she isnt here either?

Probably? That or shes been caught by the children.

Nn, I heard the puff-puffs are popular.

Indeed. The children over here got quite tough spirits.

Though I think thats kinda bad for you to say, as their lord, retorts Rebecca with a laugh.

Haha, theyre quite noisy with their Your Excellency, Your Excellencyyyy, mind you.

The Burning Knights seem to have become quite strong compared to the time when they adventured with us in Pelneets labyrinth.

Right. Theyve joined the battle to protect this village, and theyre constantly in conflict with lords of the Spirit World as possessors of a small territory over there. As for the Spirit World, they seem to have a tough time with a Lord Hall-something, whos a Spirit World Knight or a Demonic Marquis.

Hee, kinda like the evil domains guniguni cows?

Who knows

Nn, Ive become strong too! My mana has also increased thanks to my special training of

! The might of my

has also increased. Also, Ive improved alot with shu-shu-shu and juggling!

While sitting down on one of the shelves which the cats can use to jump around, Eva talks while repeatedly doing spear thrust motions. But sure, she looks like she can use

-based techniques. After all, shes learned staff and kicking techniques from her teacher.

Suddenly, I hear a rustling sound from the roof

Nn, Shuuya, a weird creature is here!
