Manga Born to Be King

　　"I'm really surprised. After all, the one who created the 'killing stone' is also a fox."

　　Hermes smiled.Asfi, who was staring at him silently, glanced at the arrangement of the pieces on the table and the chessboard.

　　White's army and Black's army.

　　"The obsession of children who are addicted to power is really terrifying."

　　"What happens to those whose souls have been taken away!?"

　　Chikusa cried out in a voice that was almost mournful.

　　With a loud voice and a crying expression that was enough to startle the members of the "Jianyu Lei Family", she asked what would happen to the person who became the sacrifice of the killing stone.

　　"As long as the killing stone is injected into the body, the fox whose soul has been taken away can wake up. If the body is fine, it should be able to continue to live unaffected."

　　Hearing Jian Yulei's answer, everyone felt at ease.However, the good times did not last long, and the male god continued to say without changing his sinister expression: "But, the killing stone will shatter."

...... ......

　　It is better to say that it can only work if it is broken, Jian Yulei told everyone.

　　"After the killing petrification is turned into fragments, each piece of it will become a device that turns the use of 'hex' into a magic device. The effect is no different from formal magic, and no chant is required."

　　The foxman's magic can be distributed among thousands of people.Everyone was speechless at Jian Yulei's statement.A legion that uses rare magic called "hex" by the favor of the stone.

　　Although it is also related to the type of "witchcraft" including seals, this power is still so powerful that it even jumps out of the rules.

　　"...if the shards are lost or damaged, what happens to the vessel where the soul is transferred into the stone?"

　　Hestia asked with a heavy expression.

　　Jian Yulei did not answer for a while, and then said with a wandering gaze:

　　"At least, it can't be restored to its original state. Even if the broken fragments are collected and the soul is returned to the body, it can only be turned into a baby doll...or a crippled person."

　　"That is to say, Sister Chunji, she..."

　　The beautiful pupils hidden under the bangs were twisted by tears, and the girl's words were silent.

　　Beauty God (Ishtar)'s plan.The killing stone in her hand and the existence of the fox man Chun Ji.

　　The Killing Stone was prepared to seal Haruhime's magic, which is no longer necessary.

　　"...If the activation of the 'Slaying Stone' is affected by the nature of the 'Toba Stone', the other party should perform the ritual of transferring the soul on the night of the full moon..."

　　"The next full moon will be..."

　　The male god looked up at the ceiling like he was enduring the pain and said, "Tonight."

Chapter 278

　　Palace, a distorted smile appeared on Ishtar's face.

　　"As long as tonight is over, you can bring Freya down from the throne!"

　　Obviously the throne belongs to her!Obviously both of them are beauty gods, why can she become the king of the high, and she can only hide in this prostitute's street!

　　If you ask the beginning of karma, I am afraid there is only one-sided hatred.From the moment she met, she was jealous of Freya, who was also the "God of Beauty".

　　I don't know if it's same-sex repulsion, or the jealousy that she has something she doesn't have.As a result, she not only hated Freya, but kept trying to squeeze her out.

　　But Freya never took her to heart.In the face of her several provocations, Freya just smiled and even treated it as a fun reliever.Her status in Freya's mind was nothing but that, so Freya didn't have any particular dislike for her.

　　Does this surplus arise from the distinction between the status, reputation, and power of the two sides?Freya lives at the top of the city, on the other hand, she is the queen of the silver capital.

　　As Freya became famous all over the world, the family members held a fearful attitude towards her, and her "beauty" was alluring in the city, and she even received the somewhat comical praise of being the most beautiful in the nether and heaven.

　　"The other goddesses are going to be jealous of me now," Freya said with a smile.

　　Her unilateral hatred began to contain black flames.Perhaps, just as she looked at Freya with her pitch-dark eyes, it was inevitable that things would develop so far.

　　But, if you want to sum it up in one sentence.

　　The only difference between me (Freya), who is also a "beautiful god", and she (Ista) is—

　　"Lord Freya."

　　Freya looked at her own reflection in the wine and raised her head after hearing the voice of the servant.

　　"Have you gathered all the children of the 'Familiar'?"

　　"Yes."

　　"Pass my order."

　　"That is to say?"

　　"Well, Ishtar has crossed the line."

　　Freya narrowed her silver pupils and said coldly.

　　"Those pranks in the past are over with one eye and one eye closed... No, that's the only thing I will never allow..."

　　After Ota saluted Freya, who turned and left—he said loudly, “Take up your arms!! As our goddess wishes, let’s go to the feast of the battlefield!!”

　　The soldiers who were waiting in the hall, and the family members who were scattered in the mansion moved together.Their devotion to the goddess can be seen in their ready-to-go, meticulous movements.

　　Everyone kept silent, as if they had been rehearsing, and gathered together in the "Battle Wilderness" in the front courtyard of the Silver House.More than a hundred family members, following the goddess' will, set off together.

　　"It's really unpleasant."

　　Amid the noise, Freya whispered as she passed through a luxurious hall in the mansion.

　　Ota, who was next to her, asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

　　"This development, ah."

　　The short answer surprised Ota.

　　The goddess glanced at him, said to herself, "Forget it", and walked outside the stronghold.

　　"I'm going too, you're ready to go.".

Chapter 279

　　"There are intruders!!"

　　"How many!?"

　　"One, one person! Just rushed in!!"

　　Amid the staggered shouts of the Amazons, Nangong Xiao ran in the palace.Like a skyscraper facility, this building is a structure that hollows out the center and leads directly to the patio.

　　"stop!?"

　　Heavily armed fighting prostitutes swarmed, roaring one after another.In the rain of arrows that came without hesitation, as soon as he caught the shadow of the enemy, he immediately turned sharply.

　　At the same time, Nangong Xiao continued to shoot flames, causing huge lethality to the enemy in front.As a long-range attack, the ballistic and the power are stronger than the bow and crossbow, no matter if it is raised, the Amazons have nothing to do, they are either blasted away or forced to retreat.

　　Nangong Xiao ignored the non-combat member prostitutes who were shivering in the corridor or room, and kept throwing flames at the enemies approaching from all around, as well as the upper and lower floors.

　　"shoot!!"

　　Just as he was running along the hollow corridor, dozens of arrows shot in salvo from the floor diagonally above.

　　Accompanied by the unstoppable rain of arrows, several soldiers with great swords attacked from the front and back.

　　"Oh, are you rushing over?"

　　On the top floor of the prostitute god's palace, the god's room.The beauty god Istar sat on the luxurious sofa, and the information about the enemy's attack was sent to her ears.

14 "He ran away after a riot in the palace...not caught yet."

　　"It's a lot of trouble, he didn't come to Longtan Tiger's Den for no reason, right?"

　　After listening to the report of the young Servant Tammuz, Ista spit out a puff of purple smoke from the pipe in her hand.In the open-plan room around, Zi Yan swayed in the wind.

　　"Did he leave something behind...or is there a prostitute he misses?"

　　The goddess narrowed her eyes happily.

　　"We'll catch him as soon as possible."

　　"It's all right, no need. Get the soldiers out."

　　After the Lord God finished speaking, he stood up from the bench, and Tammuz was stunned.

　　"What about Phryny and the others?"

　　Ishtar looked around, but did not see Phryni, the head of the regiment entrusted with the important task.

　　"Is it possible that you haven't come back yet?"

　　Ista thought of several possibilities in an instant. For example, Phryni and the others didn't find Nangong Xiao, and they were still carrying out her order and continued the original plan, or they ran into trouble while chasing and couldn't come back in time.

　　However, this is not possible.It is impossible for them to put down their actions tonight and stay outside. Even if they continue to carry out their tasks, they will have people bring Haruhi back.

　　Not good!

　　Ishtar felt uneasy.

　　"You go back."

　　Someone above ordered the Amazons.

　　Everyone present turned their heads in astonishment, and saw that deep in the main stairs, the brown-skinned goddess with peerless beauty walked down slowly with a pipe in one hand.

　　Ista, the "beautiful god" who can charm the person who sees her, looks down at Nangong Xiao happily while breathing out purple smoke.

　　Hearing the unstoppable command of the gods, the fighting prostitutes dared not breathe, and it didn't take long until time began to flow again.

　　"Do you have any concerned prostitutes here?"

　　Mei Shen narrowed her amethyst eyes.

　　She wears a crown inlaid with gold and silver, and is adorned with earrings, necklaces, pectorals, bracelets and anklets.The body, which was only covered with a small amount of clothing, revealed a large mountain peak, belly button, and the skin of the waist and legs.The carefully braided hair was black and purple, exuding a strange coquettish charm.

　　Most people and even gods may be "charmed" as long as they casually see any part of her body.

　　"This is the second time we've met. I was still suspicious of the goddess's taste the previous time... I see, I take back what I said before, it looks good."
