“Well, there are still things I can do.”
“Goa .”
After clearing away the small fries, Rebel and Ifrit turned their attention to the monster standing at some distance away.
“-ruu ”
It is a giant cluster of rocks, even bigger than Ifrit.
The Guardian Golem – the name of which is Titan.
It is the monster that once nearly destroyed the city hall.
“Guardian of the Royal Tomb, huh ”
Sensing its power, Rebel smiled.
It is probably equal to Ifrit in terms of simple strength.
If it’s her ability, she can defeat it with one hand.
But,
Rebel just stared in silence at the fist of rock that was approaching at breakneck speed.
She could feel it’s strength and domineering presence on her skin, a tingling sensation crept up her spine.
“Hey, Rebel! What are you doing? Hurry up and block–“
Even the stunned Aiba was taken aback by the scene.
Just what the hell is she thinking?
The Titan’s fist was already in front of them.
This will crush both of them.
“Hey, Iver? Isn’t it wonderful?”
The Titan’s fist paused right in front of her.
No, it had been stopped.
It was stopped by Rebel, who had extended her right hand.
The Titan is also equally surprised.
That thin arm was enough to stop his fist?
“Ruo Rooww!”
I can’t believe it.
The Titan raised his fist again and tried to smash the person in front of him.
But no matter how many times he attacked, she was not crushed. She would not fall.
Rebel’s smile deepened as she received the attacks.
“The guardians of the tomb have been recreated. That means they defeated this thing once, right?”
Even in the world they were in, a Titan – ‘the Guardian of the Tomb’ – was a well-known monster.
It had high status and the skill to create alter egos. In addition, it had the skills to mimic and hide itself in the surrounding scenery.
The only problem was that it didn’t do anything unless you approached the tomb it was guarding, so it wasn’t a target for elimination, but its power was more than enough to be called a powerhouse even in the world they were in.
“I’m sure that I and the members of the advance team can easily defeat something like this. But that’s because of the strength we’ve built up over the decades and the knowledge we’ve inherited from our predecessors.”
But they are different.
Unlike us, they defeated this thing completely from scratch, with no strength or knowledge from others.
It was only seven days after the world had become like this, after they had acquired their power.
I wonder if they realize how great of a feat that is.
“Hey, Iver. You said it yourself, didn’t you? You said that you changed your mind after interacting with the people of this world.”
“I think so too.”
Suddenly, Rebel’s hand shone brightly.
There was a sword of light in her hand.
“They will be much stronger in the future. In six months or even less, they will have the strength to challenge us.”
Rebel muttered a small “I’m sorry” and swung her sword of light down.
The Titan’s body was ripped in half.
Without suffering or letting out a cry of despair, the Titan’s body collapsed.
“Haha . you’re still as amazing as ever.”
The overwhelming power made Aiba break out in a smile.
The next moment, however, that smile froze.
The tip of Rebel’s light sword was pointed at him.
“ ! Wha, what ?”
“Don’t worry, Iver. I’m not going to kill you. I just need to deal with the fucking idiot inside you.”
Aiba nodded his head in confusion.
Rebel was not concerned about him.
“I know you can hear me, ‘Randall’. You’re a meticulous person, aren’t you? I’m sure you’ve got some sort of system in place to transmit the information that Iver sees and hears back to you, right”
Aiba’s expression tensed at those words.
Then, unexpectedly, a voice echoed inside Rebel and Aiba’s minds.
I’m surprised. I didn’t expect to be spotted.
It was a man’s voice with a slight noise mixed in.
It was probably being transmitted from the other side of the world through Aiba and the system.
How long have you been aware of this?
“Since the beginning.”
Since I heard Aiba’s story, to be exact, but I didn’t bother to mention it.
My my, you really are amazing. As expected of the current King of Death.
“Thank you. It’s a shame, though. If you had been here, I would have torn you to pieces in a heartbeat.”
Rebel did not even try to hide her anger.
Of course.
The owner of this voice is the kind of person she hates the most.
It’s the kind of asshole who tries to accomplish his goals without getting his hands dirty.
Why are you angry? He volunteered to do it himself, right? What’s wrong with that?
“You’re the one who coaxed him into it.”
No, no, no, not at all. But I didn’t expect him to be so easily won over by the local monkeys.
Aiba’s expression changed at those words.
“Please change your mind, Randall! They are not lowly apes! They are human beings just like us! We should stop the invasion plan now and find a way to live with them!”
These were words that came from his heart.
Aiba could no longer see Satsuki and the others as enemies.
He could feel him considering it for a bit.
Hmm, you’re right, Iver. You’re right. The people of your world are not lowly apes. I’ll change my mind.
“Randall .”
He felt relieved for a moment.
But, that was a mistake.
Let’s identify them as definite ‘enemies’ of ours. We will eradicate them without leaving a single one alive.
“Wh ?! Randall ?”
It’s not a bad idea to collar them and keep them under control if they’re just monkeys, but if they can use their power the same way we do, that’s a different story. After all, we shouldn’t leave any undesirable creatures in our new home.
Aiba was speechless.
After involving the people of this world in this mess for their own selfish reasons, this is what they say.
And they don’t feel guilty about it at all. He is speaking about it as if this is a matter of course.
I thought he would understand if I told him.
I thought that if he knew the people of this world as well as I did, he would change his mind.
But I was wrong.
The man he had thought was one of his own was a monster that he could not understand.
Aiba gulped and despaired at that fact.
Well, I don’t care about that useless trash anymore, but you, Lady Rebel, are different. Are you still going to help the people of that world?
“What does that mean?”
It’s not too late to come back here. It is true that your power is great, but do you really think you can defeat us all by yourself?
“ fufu”
What’s so funny?
“No, because what you said was so far off the mark Hey, Randall? I’ll tell you what you seem to have misunderstood.”
Rebel breathed in.
“–The people of this world are not as weak as you think.”
I’m going to say it. Clearly.
And then she heard a sigh of exasperation.
Well, well, well I didn’t expect the King of Death to speak such nonsense.
“If you want to think that, go ahead. But it’s true.”
Rebel is convinced.
They are strong. And they will get stronger.
The system has given them a power they should never have.
“Come if you will, Advance Team. You’ll be dealing with me and the people of this world.”
