Decide to Leave it to Three Brothers
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Kukiki… all four princes, defying His Majesty’s orders and baring their fangs… how foolish.” (??)
From behind the groaning guards, a grotesque, childishly small middle-aged man appeared.Top of Form
“Who are you!” (Cardis)
“Oh? Do you not know? Well, that cannot be helped. Then, allow me to introduce myself.” (??)
As he questioned harshly, the ugly middle-aged man placed his hand on his chest and bowed reverently.
“I am the court magician serving His Majesty Eibar, ‘West Barth’.” (West)
He lifted his face and showed a servile, repulsive smile.
“Heh… I never heard that Father had a subordinate like you.” (Harold)
“That is understandable. I have always been deep underground in the royal palace, absorbed in research. That was the condition under which I serve His Majesty the King.” (West)
The middle-aged man… Barth chuckled.
By the way, this Barth is, of course, one of the event bosses appearing in ‘Enhaz’. The so-called court magician was in name only, and in reality, he was the warden of a secret underground prison deep within the royal palace, a necromancer who toyed with prisoners like playthings and repeatedly experimented on them.
In other words, the numerous guards here had been killed by Barth, and they were merely corpses manipulated by him… This is a bit troublesome. Of course, if it’s in the hands of Xandra or Monica, sweeping away these manipulated corpses would be easy, but Barth will surely keep reviving the corpses and sending them to attack us.
I cannot be bothered with such a hassle…
“Aniki, what do we do…? The guards are one thing, but we can’t lay hands on the servants…” (Owen)
“Ah, they are just corpses being manipulated by Barth, so you don’t have to worry about them.” (Harold)
“!?!” (Owen)
“R-Really!?” (Owen)
As I answered Owen, who called out in a troubled tone, in a casual manner, he grinned fearlessly and swung his ‘Self-Respect Iron Bat’.
“Oraaa oraaa oraaa oraaa oraaa oraaa oraaa oraaaaaa!!” (Owen)
Owen charged at the guards, scattering them one after another.
The guards were already corpses, in other words, like zombies. Though they quickly got back up, their movements were slow, and if their arms and legs were crushed, they could not rise again. With this, suppressing them might not be so difficult.
“And? Your ability is not just manipulating human… corpses, is it?” (Harold)
“Kukiki… Your Highness Harold, you understand well.” (West Barth)
“Is that so? Well, since you are a necromancer, I just thought it wouldn’t be limited to humans.” (Harold)
As I deliberately said this playfully, Barth openly grimaced. It seemed he had never imagined that his true identity was already known.
Now then… He will surely use his greatest and most powerful corpses, which means what will come is…
“Everyone! The enemy is below!” (Harold)
“!?!” (Everyone)
At my words, everyone except Barth stared at the floor.
At that moment, the roar of a phantom beast echoed, and the floor shook violently.
Now, make your entrance.
“Gyuoooooo!!” (??)
Bursting through the floor, a skeletal beast over twenty meters in length appeared.
And there were two of them.
“Kihihi… How is it? Aren’t they adorable? I discovered them deep within the royal palace myself.” (West Barth)
“Adorable? You fool. What part of the ‘Tyrant Dragon A Dryg’ and the ‘Annihilation Dragon Gwyver,’ the beasts that once brought calamity upon the Kingdom of Dehaubalz, is adorable?” (Harold)
Barth could not hide his surprise at the fact that I knew the true identity of these two beasts, his eyes widening. But from our perspective, these two dragons were an extreme nuisance.
Their weaknesses, aside from the light attribute typical of undead, were water for the Tyrant Dragon A Dryg and earth for the Annihilation Dragon Gwyver, making it difficult to target them effectively. That was why, when tackling Barth, party composition was always a headache. If only the Saintess, Christia, were here, the situation would be different.
“Hmm… Legendary dragons, an opponent not lacking in challenge.” (Cardis)
“That’s right. Also, according to the literature, the weaknesses of these two dragons are recorded. Since I can use three types of magic, I should be able to handle it.” (Raphael)
“Keh! In the end, we just gotta blow these guys away, right? Simple enough!” (Owen)
Surprisingly, Cardis, Raphael, and Owen stepped forward.
I tried to stop them in a panic but reconsidered.
As Raphael said, he could use three attributes of magic thanks to the ‘Fairy King’s Blessing’, and more importantly, both Cardis and Raphael were royalty and wielders of light-attribute skills.
Additionally, Owen, although a substitute for Wilfred, was the protagonist of ‘Engage Hazard’. That guy might just be able to handle this situation.
“That being the case, the showdown with Father… King Eibar is up to Harold.” (Cardis)
“But that doesn’t mean we acknowledge Harold as the next king.” (Raphael)
“Aniki! Knock ’em dead!” (Owen)
As the three of them smacked my back hard, I nearly stumbled.
I never imagined that even those two, not just Owen, would push me forward like this. After all, in ‘Enhaz’, Harold was nothing more than Cardis’ sycophant.
“Haru-sama, let us go.” (Xandra)
“…Yeah.” (Harold)
Xandra took my hand, and we passed by Barth. I thought he would try to stop us, but unexpectedly, he let us go without resistance. Perhaps… he was told something by that guy.
“Everyone… Stay safe.” (Harold)
Murmuring that as I looked back, I proceeded ahead.
