“Kukiki… All four princes defy His Majesty the King’s orders and bare their fangs like this… Foolish.”
From behind the guards, a small, ugly middle-aged man appeared.
“Who are you!”
“Oh? You don’t know me? Well, that can’t be helped. Then let me introduce myself.”
The ugly middle-aged man placed his hand on his chest and bowed respectfully towards Cardis, who questioned him with a raised voice.
“I am West-バース, a court magician serving His Majesty King Aival.”
He raised his face, revealing a servile and lewd smile.
“Heeh… I’ve never heard of Father having a subordinate like you.”
“That’s understandable. I’ve been engrossed in research deep within the Royal Palace. That’s the condition under which I serve His Majesty the King.”
The middle-aged man…バース chuckled.
By the way, this バース is, of course, one of the event bosses appearing in “EnHaza.”
He’s a court magician in name only. In reality, he’s the warden of a secret dungeon deep beneath the Royal Palace, a Necromancer who toys with prisoners like toys and repeats experiments.
In other words, the many guards here have been killed by バース, and their corpses are being manipulated… This is a bit troublesome.
Of course, Sandra and Monica could easily scatter these manipulated corpses, but バース will surely revive the corpses repeatedly and have them attack us.
I can’t be bothered with such a troublesome thing…
“Bro, what do we do…? The guards might be okay, but we can’t possibly lay a hand on the servants…”
“Ah, they’re just corpses manipulated by バース, so you don’t have to worry about them.”
“Eh!?”
“R-Really!?”
As Owen called out in distress, I replied in a light tone, and he grinned wickedly, swinging around “The Arrogant Iron Bat.”
“Oraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraoraaa!”
Owen charged into the guards, scattering them one after another.
The guards are already dead, like zombies. They get up quickly, but their movements are slow, and if their arms and legs are crushed, they can’t get up. It might not be difficult to subdue them.
“So? Your ability isn’t just to manipulate human corpses, is it?”
“Kukiki… Prince Harold, you understand well.”
“Is that so? Well, you’re a Necromancer. I just thought it wouldn’t be limited to humans.”
I deliberately said that jokingly, and バース visibly grimaced.
He probably never imagined that his true identity would be known.
Now… I think this guy will use the biggest and strongest corpse, so what’s coming is…
“Everyone! The enemy is below!”
“”Eh!?””
At my words, everyone except バース stared at the floor.
At that moment, the cries of Demon Beast specters echoed, and the floor shook violently.
Here they come.
“GyoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Breaking through the floor, skeletal Demon Beasts over twenty meters in length appeared.
Two of them.
“Kihhihi… What do you think? Cute, aren’t they? I discovered them deep within the Royal Palace.”
“Cute? You’re an idiot. What’s cute about the Tyrant Dragon A-Dryg and the Annihilation Dragon Guwyver, Demon Beasts that once brought disaster to the Dehauvalz Kingdom?”
バース couldn’t hide his surprise that I knew the true identities of these two Demon Beasts, and his eyes widened.
But from my perspective, these two dragons are extremely troublesome.
The weaknesses of these two dragons are difficult to pinpoint. Aside from the Light Attribute unique to the Undead, the Tyrant Dragon A-Dryg is weak to the Water Attribute, and the Annihilation Dragon Guwyver is weak to the Earth Attribute.
That’s why I always struggled with party composition when攻略ing バース.
If only Saint Christia were here, the situation would be different…
“Hmm… A legendary dragon is a worthy opponent.”
“That’s right. Besides, the weaknesses of these two dragons are written in the literature. If I, who can use three-attribute magic, can handle it.”
“Tch! So, all we have to do is blow these guys away, right? Easy!”
Surprisingly, Cardis, Raphael, and Owen stepped forward.
I hurriedly tried to stop them, but I hesitated.
As Raphael said, he can sometimes use three-attribute magic thanks to the Fairy King’s Blessing, but more than that, Cardis and Raphael are Royalty and wielders of Light Attribute skills.
Besides, Owen is the protagonist of “Engage Hazard,” albeit as Wilfred’s replacement. That guy might be able to handle this situation somehow.
“That’s why, Father… I’ll leave the showdown with King Aival to Harold.”
“That doesn’t mean I’ve recognized Harold as the next king, though.”
“Bro! Kick their asses!”
The three of them slapped me hard on the back, and I stumbled.
I never expected to be pushed like this by the two of them, let alone Owen.
Harold, who was just Cardis’s cheerleader in “EnHaza,” is being treated like a protagonist.
“Lord Hal, let’s go.”
“…Yeah.”
Led by the hand by Sandra, we passed by バース.
I thought we would be stopped, but surprisingly, we were allowed to go ahead smoothly.
Perhaps he was told something by that guy…
“Everyone… stay safe.”
I turned around and muttered that, then proceeded ahead.
