Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

They appeared in the mansion without anyone noticing.

He had just thought that Subaru Natsuki was simply talking to himself while looking at the wall and curtains.

Because Subaru Natsuki was quite crazy, he thought that although it was outrageous, it was also normal, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But unexpectedly, standing on the other side of the wall was the sword saint Reinhard, who possessed concealment magic!

Roswaal's cheeks trembled slightly.

Smash it!

We messed it up!

He didn't know why Reinhard was there.

All he knew was that his plan to use Capela to create pressure was completely ruined.

What was supposed to be a hunt targeting Subaru Natsuki has turned into a direct confrontation between the kingdom's strongest knight and the Archbishop of Sin.

What's even worse is that if Capela is arrested,

He will most likely be exposed.

By then, let alone being able to use Subaru Natsuki's abilities to achieve his long-cherished wish,

Whether they can survive the Sword Saint's attack is a question...

……

Caught between Subaru Natsuki and Reinhard, Capella, in dire straits, began to think at lightning speed.

She is a bishop who sins greatly due to lust, the most wicked bishop!

Possesses the strongest strategic planning ability among the Archbishops of Sin, even surpassing that of the Archbishops of Sloth.

Her madness was merely a facade she projected to the outside world.

She knew all too well that a real plan always required a long period of preparation.

Reinhardt had always been part of her plan.

The reason is simple: this swordsman is simply too powerful.

If I don't deal with him, even if I win everything else, he will still kill me with a single sword at the moment of my coronation!

However, after careful study, Capela believed he had figured out the swordsman's weakness.

He seemed perfect, even too perfect.

But only after getting to know him better will you realize that this perfection is his greatest weakness.

Capela has already made up his mind that when the plan is almost complete, he will find a way to make this swordsman voluntarily give up the protection and walk to the execution ground.

Unexpectedly, his plan is not yet complete.

They set up a trap for her.

Who was behind this?

Reinhard?

Or is it that clown Roswaal?

Capela didn't think any further. Now that things had come to this, the only thing she could do was seize the initiative and fight her way out.

Her arms rapidly grew larger, reaching out towards Rem and Subaru immediately.

By capturing the hostage, she could force Reinhard to act with caution.

There's still a chance to escape!

The dragon-scale-covered arm instantly lengthened, its sharp claws aimed straight for Rem's shoulder.

Subaru Natsuki took Rem a half-step to the side.

The claws grazed Rem's clothes before missing their target.

Capela immediately changed direction and attacked from another angle.

Subaru Natsuki disappeared again.

He moved through the cramped room with Rem, each movement leaving only the curtains billowing in the wind and the sound of short footsteps.

Capela's attacks were always just a little short.

Reinhard stood at the door, his gaze following Subaru's movements as closely as possible, but a hint of doubt arose in his mind.

He originally thought that the wound in Subaru's chest that went through his heart was caused by Capela.

But why did the Dragon Sword show no sign of being drawn when facing this self-proclaimed archbishop of lust?

Wasn't it this great sin bishop who drove Subaru to this point?

Who else could it be?

Could there be a mastermind behind this?

As his repeated attempts failed, Capela's anger and anxiety gradually overwhelmed his reason.

Her body rapidly expanded, black dragon scales covered her entire body, wings spread from her back, and her enormous dragon body almost smashed through the entire wall.

"Get out here right now!"

The dragon's arm swept across.

Reinhard finally made a move.

He did not draw the Dragon Sword, but simply tapped it lightly with the scabbard.

The enormous dragon arm changed direction in mid-air, and Capella's body was also sent flying by that irresistible force, crashing through the outer wall of the mansion.

She quickly repaired her shattered scales in mid-air, flapped her wings, and tried to create distance.

Reinhard flashed and appeared above her.

The scabbard fell from above.

Capela was slammed back to the ground, his black dragon body creating a deep crater in the courtyard.

The massive impact overturned the surrounding lawns, trees, and ground.

For the first time, Capela felt so acutely the insurmountable gap between herself and the man before her.

But she didn't stop.

She still has goals to achieve, and she has no intention of giving up just like that!

Capella's skin, bones, and flesh constantly changed, transforming his body into various forms in an attempt to escape from the gaps in Reinhard's attacks.

But each time, she was easily forced back to the ground.

Reinhard didn't even draw his sword.

"marvelous!!"

Natsuki Subaru stood at the edge of the courtyard, watching Capela's body being repaired, his eyes shining like starlight.

"Excellent, excellent! This response is so satisfying!"

Rem stood behind him, and upon hearing those words, the worry on her face turned into a complex silence.

Reinhardt's lips twitched; he almost lost his composure.

It's all because his hearing is too good; he heard Subaru say something even from this far away...

Capela captured the moment.

She abruptly changed direction, shrinking into an inconspicuous bird, and flew towards the distant woods.

Once she leaves this courtyard, she can find new opportunities.

But a hand was already waiting in her flight path.

Subaru Natsuki's figure appeared in the starlight.

He closed his five fingers together, trapping the bird in his palm, and the wound on his chest bled again from the forced movement.

Capella transformed back into human form, her claws slashing towards Subaru Natsuki's chest.

Natsuki Subaru dodged to the side and grabbed her wrist with his other hand.

"Sweetie, where do you want to go?"

His face was pale, but his eyes were terrifyingly excited.

"Just accept your fate. What I, Natsuki Subaru, want, will not escape so easily."

Capela stared intently at him.

thing?

Until this moment.

She finally understood who was really targeting her.

It is not the border town of Borozval, which is known as the kingdom's greatest magician.

It is not Reinhard, the contemporary swordsman known as the strongest swordsman.

It's this black-haired guy!

Subaru Natsuki, whom she regarded as a plaything from beginning to end!

It was all part of his scheme!

He relayed the message through Roswaal.

He used his severely injured body to lower her guard.

He took the opportunity to summon Reinhard to cut off her escape route.

What a wicked mind, what a meticulously planned scheme, with each step perfectly linked and flawless!

This dark-haired man looked to be no more than a teenager, yet his schemes were so shrewd and experienced that it seemed he had spent half his life immersed in conspiracies and intrigues!

Capela thought he had Natsuki Subaru completely under his control.

I never imagined that someone who spends all his time hunting geese would have his eyes pecked by one today!

Capela's face twisted little by little.

"You bastard..."

Subaru Natsuki laughed even more heartily.

"Reinhard, quickly steady her."

"Our mount is finally ours!"

"Hahaha cough cough...haha"

Chapter 75: 073. What a treacherous border lord who appears loyal, a hypocrite who appears genuine!

As Reinhard drew closer and closer...

Capela, of course, refused to accept his fate.

Her body suddenly swelled, large patches of black dragon scales bursting out from under her skin, and her wings, wrapped in a gale, filled the courtyard, attempting to forcefully break free from Subaru's grasp by changing her form.

Reinhard stepped forward and pressed down on the scabbard in his hand.

The dragon's body, which had just expanded, crashed to the ground with a thud.

boom!

This time it was even more powerful and heavy than before.

The entire mansion trembled.

Large sections of the courtyard's stone bricks shattered, and mud and dust billowed into the sky. Several windows near the outer wall blew open simultaneously.

The loud noise instantly alerted everyone else in the mansion.

Emilia was the first to run from the end of the corridor, followed closely by Ram.

The two rushed out of the mansion and paused for a moment when they saw the scene in the courtyard.

The once smooth courtyard now has a deep pit.
