"Is it a magical artifact..." the man muttered to himself.

A gentle breeze brushed past his ear, and the swordsman's muscle memory caused his body to react quickly. Without thinking, he swung his sword twice, and the feeling of the blade cutting into his flesh was immediately felt.

"Waaah..."

A streak of blood flashed across the night sky, and the girl lay on the ground with deep, bone-revealing cuts on her thigh and cheek.

"I'm sorry... Rudy..."

"Even on the verge of death, you're still thinking about your man, half-elf lady?" The man walked up to her, the serpentine blade pressed against her face.

"You're the first person to make me miss with my sword."

"What... did Luke... do something...?"

The girl vomited a pool of blood, and the toxins that had been suppressed by the antidote technique began to spread again.

"You mean that kid from the Notos family?" the man sneered. "He had to consider his father's feelings, so he was a little delayed, but he's probably down there waiting for you now."

"I see..."

Two tears streamed down the girl's cheek, leaving a tear stain that mingled with the bloodstains on her face.

"That kid is incredibly stupid. With his father vouching for him, he could have stayed put and avoided being implicated, but he insisted on stepping forward to play the hero."

At that moment, a green firework rose into the sky in the distance above the pine forest. Aubert looked up and smiled:

"Do you know what that is? When that green firework goes up, it means that Princess Ariel has been captured."

"How could this be..."

As she spoke, the girl's face turned ashen, her eyes staring blankly at the dazzling green in the sky.

"Mr. Aubert, have you had enough fun? Hurry up and finish her off so you can go back and report."

The woman in silver armor placed her hand on the hilt of her sword and walked to their side.

"Disheartened and upset people are what attract Yazakana."

"who!"

A low, clear voice came from somewhere, and the woman and Aubert quickly dropped the girl on the ground and assumed fighting stances.

A tall, slender, and graceful figure emerged from the woods.

He was shirtless, and from his waist down, a loose, tattered robe fluttered in the wind. A delicate rope was tied around his waist, from which hung a horrifying plaster face. In each hand he gripped a sword—one a steel blade that gleamed in the moonlight, the other a menacing red.

Aubert and the woman looked at the pair of cold blue eyes hidden beneath a cruel mask that radiated an eerie red, like a sword in his hand. The mask was firmly attached to the man's face, almost completely obscuring his furrowed brows.

“Are you the princess’s reinforcements?” Aubert asked.

The man didn't speak, but walked straight towards the girl lying between Aubert and the woman.

“Izoruti, we may not be a match for him…” Aubert said to the woman beside him.

With each step he took forward, Aubel and Izoruti felt an oppressive feeling that seemed to come from nowhere.

As an Emperor-level expert of the Northern Divine Stream, only two words flashed through Aubel's mind at this moment—"escape".

However, Izuru, who possessed the strength of a Water God Emperor, could not detect even the slightest killing intent from this almost suffocating sense of oppression.

Suddenly, Aubel and Izuru seemed to sense the presence of something else. A blurry figure floated behind them, seemingly merging with the air and only a vague outline could be seen. But under the cold moonlight, several blue-faced, fanged monsters were faintly visible.

They had never seen anything like it before...

“Fear breeds doubt, and doubt breeds fear. Between doubt and fear, Yazakana waits for his opportunity.”

Before they could even hear what the man was saying, Aubert felt a sharp, icy chill pierce through his entire body, as if he had been cut in two by a blade, and they hadn't even seen the other person's movements.

"Izaruti! Run! This person is probably already at the level of a major power..."

Aubert shouted desperately, but Izuru, who was so close to him, seemed to hear nothing. Her face was pale, her eyes were lifeless, and she looked as if she were dead.

Is this the end...?

He stopped thinking and waited for the agony of death to come.

"What is that...?"

A moment later, the pain of death did not come. Izuru, Obel, and Sylphie all seemed to feel a tingling sensation, and with their faint vision, they saw several characters flashing with dazzling red light appearing in the air.

“Each feature of Yazakana corresponds to a stroke, and each stroke forms a letter, thus revealing their true name.”

The three of them were completely bewildered by what the masked man was saying. Suddenly, another sensation struck them again. This time, it was no longer the feeling of loss and impending death, but the sensation of truly touching the ground.

Back in reality, Izoruti and Aubel were drenched in cold sweat, facing a monster as huge as a city wall.

"Disperse, Laka Mura!"

"Roar! Roar!"

Upon hearing this, the monster's size immediately swelled several times its original size, and it let out a piercing scream that shook the earth.

Obel and Izuru covered their ears, and Sylphie fainted upon hearing the scream.

The masked man remained unmoved. He crouched low, gripped his two swords tightly, and charged towards the monster.

"Double sword slash!"

The twin swords cleaved through the moonlight, leaving a trail of silver and blood on the ground.

The monster had already turned into a cloud of blood mist, leaving only a hideous plaster mask in mid-air.

Izuru and Obel felt their hair stand on end. The speed at which that person passed through the monster was so fast that even they, as powerful beings with Emperor-level strength, could not catch him. If they were to rashly engage him, they would surely die.

"Izuru, hold on tight!"

Once he realized he could move again, Aubert immediately threw a smoke bomb.

"Rudy...Rudy..."

When the smoke cleared, only the half-elf girl remained in front of the masked man, lying weakly on the ground.

……

I was only one day away from arriving in the capital when I heard news that the coup had been suppressed.

Ariel, without any prior plan, intended to kill both the first and second princes simultaneously. However, she was thwarted by the water god and the Northern Emperor, who had recruited her as swordsmen. Her forces were wiped out, and Ariel herself was arrested and is said to be executed at a later date.

All his men were wiped out. Wiped out... What about Sylphie...?

The corpses of Ariel's men were hung in a corner of the capital's execution ground for public display.

Luke was inside the body....

Great……

Sylphie isn't inside...

Where did she go?

I inquired around and heard that Ariel's coup was followed by a monster attack, and that Sylphie was most likely eaten by a monster.

Heartbroken, I returned to Sharia...

Sylphie is back...

I took the empty sleeve of her right arm and embraced her once more...

We did it seventeen times that night...

It's been a year since I last wrote in my diary, and Silphie is pregnant again...

Hilfi gave birth to a boy, and I named him Siegfried...

Chapter 172: Breaking the Army (Part 3)

……

Mulgore, one hand on the wall and the other on Genus's shoulder, scanned the room, his gaze lingering on the slightly sagged sofa cushions. He smiled slightly to the side:

“What? I thought someone was here, Mr. Genius, the vice principal.”

Genius frowned slightly, a light sheen of sweat appeared on his temples, and he quickly added with a smile:

"Why would anyone come to a place like my house? Hahahaha."

"That's true, who would come to our house to discuss business?"

Mulgore narrowed his eyes slightly and naturally sat down on the sofa cushion he had noticed earlier.

"Like Vice Principal Genius, when he needs to discuss matters, he needs to be surrounded by beautiful women, with young and pretty dancers feeding him wine and breastfeeding him, followed by a striptease..."

Before Mulgore could even speak to me, Genas was already sweating profusely, and he tiptoed closer, smiling as he approached:

"Yes, yes, whether I can become the vice principal is entirely up to you, Lord Mogore and Lord Cosette."

Mulgore crossed one leg over the other, rested his chin on his hand, and glanced at Genas before fixing his gaze on the open window.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Regarding Dolan's matter, I still hope that Vice Principal Genius will put in more effort. It doesn't necessarily have to come to any conclusion. As long as his period of reflection can be extended to avoid the election, that will be enough."

"Of course, I've already made arrangements, so you can rest assured."

Genas knew perfectly well why Mulgore had said those things at this time. His weaknesses were indeed in the hands of Mulgore and Cosette, and he had also received a considerable amount of bribes from Mulgore.

However, being suddenly threatened by a teenager made Genius, who was half buried in the ground, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"very good."

Immediately afterwards, Mulgore pulled out several banknotes that looked like they were edged with gold and handed them to Genus.

“Vice Principal Genius should recognize this too. Take this and give it to the Milis Church, hand him over to the Milis Order, and they can keep him locked up for a while longer.”

Genius looked up abruptly: "Don't you trust me?"

"Hmph, that's not true."

Mulgore's lips trembled slightly.

"The matter of handing Dolan over to the Milis Order is something that Vice Principal Genius should handle."

……

Sylphie's perspective:

……

"I... am I a burden to Rudy..."

"What do you think?"

"I...I don't know..."

I was held in Lilith's arms like this; I wish it were Rudy instead.

I don't know how I should feel at this moment. I just want to snuggle in his arms and possess him completely.

If it's Rudy...

She will hug me very gently.

I felt him let go of my hand; it wasn't Rudy, but Lilith.

"Miss Lilith..."

I don't know why, but I suddenly burst into tears...

“You can’t always cry like this, Miss Hilfiet.”

She cupped my face in her hands...

I really dislike this action...

Every time Rudy lifted my face, I would close my eyes, hold my breath, and wait for him to kiss me.

But not even once...

“Silphiette, I’m giving you a chance to help Lord Rudeus…”

"I am willing!"

I no longer want to be a burden to Rudy.
