Chapter 90

 

At Asdal’s words, Yuanna’s eyebrows twitched as she sat listlessly with her chin propped up.

 

“Why?”

 

She looked at us with a face that showed she didn’t understand. I opened my mouth in place of Asdal.

 

“It seems like magical beasts will come rushing in soon.”

 

“How do you know that?”

 

“His Highness the Crown Prince has special eyes that can see the flow of mana.”

 

The gazes of Yuanna, Diego, and Kaiden all focused on Asdal.

 

“You never mentioned anything like that before.”

 

Yuanna asked Asdal. Asdal replied calmly.

 

“My ability is practically a state secret of the Hestia Kingdom, so how could I speak of it? But now I trust you all, so let me explain. There’s an ability that has been passed down through generations of the Hestia Royal Family. It’s called Magic Sight. Originally, you can’t use it without mana. That’s why I borrowed mana from Lady Flone.”

 

“Borrowed mana?”

 

Kaiden looked at me with rabbit-like eyes as if he’d heard something unexpected. This time I kindly explained.

 

“I can use mana. I can also manipulate mana, so I was training to inject my mana into others using the mana auxiliary device that Prince Asdal gave me.”

 

“Using mana in such a way, how interesting.”

 

Kaiden was lost in thought, mulling over my words, while Yuanna looked at me with a face that showed she found it difficult to understand.

 

“Ah… Now I understand why His Highness the Crown Prince was so persistent with the Young Lady. But why, why only the Young Lady…?”

 

“I’m very curious about that too.”

 

Yuanna propped her chin up and examined my face from various angles as if conducting an investigation. Meanwhile, Diego asked Asdal again.

 

“So why are the magical beasts suddenly going to come rushing in?”

 

“Well. I don’t know exactly either, but it seems to be because of the pile of monster corpses that our Half-Emperor killed.”

 

Asdal answered with a bright smile toward Enoch. I found what he said puzzling and tilted my head before speaking.

 

“But didn’t we burn all of that?”

 

“The smell or debris might still remain.”

 

At Asdal’s answer, this time Yuanna asked.

 

“Will they come all the way up here?”

 

“There’s a possibility, so it would be better to avoid them if possible. And anyway, don’t we have a path we need to take?”

 

At Enoch’s answer, Yuanna eventually closed her mouth without saying anything.

 

So we decided to leave the cabin.

 

18. North Island and South Island

 

Kaiden was still the one who could use my mana most efficiently.

 

So before leaving the cabin, I decided to train with Kaiden on injecting mana in various ways.

 

Kaiden was standing in the clearing in front of the cabin, drawing a magic circle on the floor.

 

“Can’t you use magic without drawing magic circles and such?”

 

“That’s true, but when mana is unstable, there’s nothing more reliable than drawing it directly.”

 

However, we didn’t even have a chance to test his power.

 

Boom! Thud!

 

A heavy roar echoed from very far away. Kaiden and I stopped our movements in surprise.

 

“Don’t tell me this is…”

 

Eun-ji at our feet was making a huge fuss. The little one kept spitting finger-sized flames while being extremely wary of the direction of the bushes.

 

Just then, our companions came pouring out of the cabin door with their luggage packed. It seemed they had all heard that ominous sound.

 

Seeing Eun-ji’s state, the companions looked beyond the quiet bushes with ominous expressions.

 

“That doesn’t sound like something a tarantula magical beast would make.”

 

“It doesn’t seem like an anaconda either.”

 

“Then is it a wolf magical beast?”

 

Kaiden, Archbishop Luzef, and Yuanna spoke in turn. Then what could it be? I tilted my head in puzzlement. At that moment, Prince of Asdal looked at me.

 

“Didn’t you say that wolf magical beasts don’t inhabit this area? So it wouldn’t be them.”

 

“No. The magical beasts have started leaving their territories. We discovered wolf-type magical beasts on our way to find the key.”

 

Kaiden resolved Prince of Asdal’s question.

 

The theory that magical beasts were starting to leave their territories wasn’t actually a theory but an established fact. If they’ve started evolving, what’s to stop them from leaving their territories?

 

Kaiden and I had also encountered an orangutan magical beast in the area where wolf-type magical beasts lived.

 

“Or it could be an orangutan magical beast. If it is an orangutan magical beast, that would be a bigger problem since they’re more destructive than wolves…”

 

At Kaiden’s muttering, everyone fell silent with serious expressions.

 

“Even if magical beasts come in droves, there shouldn’t be any worry as long as we have the Half-Emperor.”

 

At Prince of Asdal’s words, everyone looked at Enoch. Enoch also looked up while fastening his sword sheath holder to his waist.

 

A smile spread across Prince of Asdal’s lips as he watched Enoch’s completely unperturbed appearance.

 

“Look how relaxed he is. See? If the Half-Emperor goes on a rampage, what’s there to worry about even if magical beasts swarm in groups? The nickname ‘War Demon’ wasn’t given to the Half-Emperor for nothing.”

 

Of course, I didn’t agree with his words.

 

“You want Enoch to go on a rampage? Even though he might cut us down while cutting down magical beasts?”

 

“Hmm. That was a slip of the tongue.”

 

Prince of Asdal quickly acknowledged his mistake.

 

However, unexpectedly, Kaiden, who was holding me, supported Prince of Asdal’s words.

 

“If control is definitely possible, that might be a good method too. Margaret, you can control him, can’t you? Weren’t you holding the Crown Prince’s leash?”

 

“A leash? Enoch isn’t a dog.”

 

“From what I saw last time, it seemed similar?”

 

As the argument about Enoch continued, Enoch finally let out an annoyed sigh.

 

“…I understand very well what you all think of me. And even without going on a rampage, monster extermination is possible. It will take time though. As long as you don’t get hurt and stay out of my sight, there won’t be any need to rampage.”

 

“As expected of Enoch.”

 

“As expected of the Half-Emperor.”

 

“As expected of the Crown Prince.”

 

Kaiden, Prince of Asdal, and I gave Enoch thumbs up in turn. Enoch is truly the strongest in this world setting. Right, he’s not the main male lead for nothing.

 

“While Your Highness is holding back the magical beasts, it would be best for us to quickly take cover.”

 

Yuanna, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, spoke up.

 

“Oh, I have a good idea. Would you like to hear it? During my tenure as a saint, I was often dispatched for monster subjugation, so I’m quite experienced with this kind of thing.”

 

“Tenure as a saint” was a strange expression, but since Yuanna really hated being called a “saint,” I let it slide.

 

“Magical beasts that come out in groups have a certain pattern.”

 

Yuanna’s words carried a certain power. Perhaps it was because she knew exactly when her input was most needed.

 

“Usually, there’s a leader-type magical beast in that group. If you identify and eliminate the leader, the colony collapses and the remaining magical beasts can be easily dealt with.”

 

“Hmm, that certainly makes sense. I’m familiar with human warfare, but I didn’t know much about magical beast behavior.”

 

Enoch nodded with an expression that showed he found Yuanna’s words reasonable. Asdal, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, also showed agreement.

 

“I’ve also commanded Monster Subjugation Corps before. I understand what the Saint is trying to say.”

 

“The problem is when magical beasts that don’t form groups appear. There’s nothing we can do about those types. We have no choice but to defeat them through Individual Combat.”

 

“That would be the worst case scenario.”

 

Yuanna nodded at my words.

 

I briefly looked back at Luzef. Luzef met my eyes with a puzzled expression while holding the First Aid Kit in his arms.

 

“People who can’t help in combat should evacuate early and then provide support. The Bishop and I will focus on Wound Treatment. Saint, you’re fast on your feet and good at climbing trees, so please handle situation reports.”

 

“Just leave it to me.”

 

Yuanna nodded with a bright smile on her pure face. She was even pleased, saying she’d get to use her old abilities from her pickpocketing days for the first time in a while.

 

“I’ll assess the situation and use weapons.”

 

I took out a flare and loaded it with ammunition.

 

Even with flares and bombs, we were likely to be ambushed by the magical beast horde, so it seemed perfect to evacuate to a distant location and provide support at the right timing.

 

It would also be easier to send mana that way.

 

As a result of practicing Mana Manipulation secretly from Asdal, I found that I could inject my mana into others even without physical contact.

 

Of course, in that case, the precision dropped and quite a bit of mana scattered in the process.

 

It was roughly the difference between connecting a hose to fill a water tank, or cupping water with your hands to carry and fill the tank.

 

“Right, we have Eun-ji too, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

 

Kaiden laughed, saying it was reassuring. But even saying that, he was the type who would try to stop me if I said I’d take the lead in combat.

 

He was probably relieved because I said I’d safely stay in the back.

 

Enoch threw off his jacket and unfastened his shirt cufflinks, rolling up his sleeves while glancing at us.

 

“Then let’s settle on that plan, and I’ll take command of the battle. Asdal, you handle analyzing the magical beasts’ behavior patterns.”

 

At Enoch’s words, Asdal gave a thumbs up and smiled.

 

“Good idea. Lady Flone, would you inject mana into me? I’ll try to read the magical beasts’ movements by analyzing the Magic Flow.”

 

At Asdal’s request, I grasped his hand with my ring-wearing hand. Then his blue eyes began to sparkle brilliantly with green light.

 

“Judging by their fast movement speed and large numbers, they seem like wolf-type magical beasts.”

 

At Asdal’s words, Enoch, Diego, and Kaiden drew their swords in turn and took defensive positions.
