Throwing the marker in his hand away, Mebius knew that there was no need to mark the road ahead.
"The pleasant chat time is over. Are you ready, Miss Honoka?"
"what."
Nodding seriously, Kousaka Honoka and Mebius looked at each other, and stepped into the overlord's territory without hesitation.
……
In the laboratory where the instruments and hostages were stored, Hisui, who was infusing the collected life energy into her exclusive weapon "Danba", gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Strange, the total amount of life energy is less than I expected?"
Originally according to his estimation, at this point in time, the energy collected should be enough for him to achieve his goal, but the current situation is lower than he expected. Although the current amount is not impossible to complete his plan, it is not safe enough after all.
Thinking of this, Feicui looked around the room. The number of sacrifices gathered here was far more than the target he had given to Nagasaki Suyo at the beginning, but the result achieved was completely the opposite.
The doubts in Akamegi's eyes grew instead of diminishing, and he finally set his sights on the instrument he made in the middle of the room.
Reaching out his hand towards it, Jade was about to check the condition of the instrument, but his attention was immediately drawn by the alarm spell he had buried in the plants throughout the World Tree Tower, and he gave up the idea of checking the instrument.
In a strange vision, he saw Kousaka Honoka and Mobius rushing towards him.
"There are hidden passages in this kind of building that I haven't found out yet. Is this what humans call a cunning rabbit with three burrows? This is trouble."
Jade rubbed his chin in distress. In order to make his plan safer, he still wanted to collect more life energy.
But in the current situation, Suzaku of the Emerald Faction has been killed, and Nagasaki Suyo and Xuanwu, who were sent by him to capture Minami Kotori, have not returned yet. For a moment, he really found that there was no one available on his side.
"There is no other way. Can you please stop them? In order to fulfill the king's long-cherished wish, I still need some time, Day."
Jade shouted to the shadow outside the room, and heavy footsteps were heard in the corridor that should have been empty. A burly white minotaur walked out from behind the door and silently looked at Jade in the room.
Unlike Suzaku and Xuanwu, the overlord named Zhou did not treat Feicui with respect. Instead, he looked at his compatriot with suspicion.
After a long time, a dull sound came from the majestic bull head.
"You'd better not do as you say, otherwise, my Ashuyim will chop off your head."
"Of course, you and I are both the king's subjects, aren't we?"
"Humph."
Ignoring Hisui's sweet talk, Hiru left the scene dragging his sword named "Ashuim".
Although Zhou thinks that Feicui is totally untrustworthy, since their king, Bai Ya, needs him to fulfill his sad wish, Zhou will do it. 】
Customer service Xiaoxiang: I finally see an overlord who is loyal to the king. It’s not easy!
Banana: The other me didn’t backstab Baiya either.
Asuna: Well, you didn't backstab me, you just killed yourself.
Banana:6.
Ms. Alarm Clock: The overlord of the Baiya faction, and the name is Zhou? Can't it be... No, it's impossible, this muscle... is a little too muscular.
This is Paradise Kouhekouhe: Well, it’s quite normal that there is a size difference between the Overlord form and the human form. Look, isn’t Bai Ya the tallest among all the high-level Overlords?
Hua Liu Huixian: Actually, if you think about it carefully, this image is quite reasonable. After all, I also have extraordinary powers in real life.
Banana: Corridor God of War (confirmed).
Ms. Alarm Clock:?
Ural Silver Wolf: The subordinate overlords of the white and green series have appeared, why haven’t the red ones appeared?
Infinite Snake: Phew, Qianjie, you are still a lone commander as always.
Brother Jie: Shut your mouth!
[On the other side, inside Helheim after Nagasaki Motoyo left.
Bai Ya did not attack Minami Kotori, the daughter of origin, as the audience expected. Perhaps she was interested in Nagasaki Motoyo's words, but she observed the gray-haired girl sitting quietly in the corner and took the rare initiative to talk to her.
"Aren't you afraid of the current situation, human girl?"
"Of course I am."
Nan Xiaoniao looked at her toes and did not look at Bai Ya.
The latter did not care about the girl's disrespect and just continued on the topic.
"Really? But you seem pretty calm."
“I’m not worried about my safety.”
Nan Xiaoniao shook her head.
"Since Su Shi said that you don't bother to harm me, then you are definitely not such a person. What I am afraid of is Honoka and the others. In order to save me, they will definitely do a lot of dangerous things, and they may even challenge you who are extremely powerful."
"Oh~ This doesn't sound like something a guy who's just been betrayed would say."
The girl's answer made Bai Ya look sideways, and there was a hint of confusion in her calm tone.
"Why can you be sure that your companions will come to rescue you?"
"Because that's who my companion is."
Minami Kotori answered with certainty, and after meeting Nagasaki Motoyo, she became even more certain of this.
The look in the brown-haired girl's eyes when she left was not as if she were an enemy. She still regarded herself as a companion and wanted to protect herself.
"Whether it's Honoka, Kaito, or Suyo, they are all the same people. Everyone is doing what they think is right in their own way. It's just that Suyo has been walking alone for too long, so long that even if she went in the wrong direction, neither she nor we could notice it."
“It’s really incomprehensible.”
Bai Ya turned his back and looked at the tombstone in the center of the cemetery. Nan Xiaoniao noticed his movements and also looked in that direction. For some reason, she always felt that this tombstone seemed to have some connection with herself.
But before she had time to think about it, Bai Ya continued speaking.
"Since you think your companions are all the same, how can you guarantee that others won't betray you like she did? Your words are inconsistent."
“There is no one in this world who does not make mistakes. Even the most powerful beings can make mistakes. But the truly terrifying thing is not the mistakes themselves, but the fact that one cannot figure out the reasons for making the mistakes in the end, and can only make the same mistakes again and again.”
Nan Xiaoniao walked to Bai Ya's side.
"I won't say that Su Shi is innocent, but in order to atone for her sins, as her companion, I must also know. Why did Su Shi choose to do these things? Where did we embark on different paths? Only in this way can we understand each other and get back on the right path with her."
"Are you still willing to go with her?"
"why not?"
Nan Xiaoniao looked up at Bai Ya who turned his head.
"After experiencing failure, can we only stagnate and never trust anyone again?"
“…Of course.”
Bai Ya's answer was no longer condescending like before. Nan Xiaoniao seemed to understand something and turned around to look at the silent cemetery.
"Is that so? That's why this place is like this..."
……
Not long after, the white bull overlord named Hiru found Kousaka Honoka and Mebius who were looking for the hostages, and started fighting with them without any nonsense.
As soon as the fight started, Kousaka Honoka immediately felt the difficulty of this rare white overlord.
In terms of combat power alone, the Day in front of us is completely on par with Shinku. Add to that his extraordinary strength and the narrow terrain of the corridor, and Day is even more difficult to deal with than Shinku.
After just a few clashes of weapons, Kousaka Honoka's hands were numb from the shock of her opponent, and even Daichimaru was knocked away again.
"Hey, are you just standing there watching?"
Just as the flying Orange Maru was spotted, Mobius was hiding behind and watching the show. Kousaka Honoka immediately shouted at her, and also distracted Hiruzen's attention to the other party.
"Well, even for me, with so few chess pieces, I can't just sit there and watch."
"Who is your chess piece?!"
Ignoring Kousaka Honoka's dissatisfaction, Mebius transformed and joined the battle.
Faced with the brute force attack displayed by Zhou, Mebius actually blocked it head-on with a sonic arrow, and the ease with which he did so surprised Zhou.
But it's not over yet. After showing his power advantage far exceeding that of ordinary Century Drives, the Duke further demonstrated abilities that other knights do not possess, such as clone projection, optical camouflage and shooting enhancement, and suppressed Hiashi, who was able to force Kousaka Honoka into a tough battle.
Honoka Kousaka was stunned by what she saw.
"Hey, your driver must have been stuffed with smuggled stuff!"
"Haha, I also feel like I'm a bit of a fraud, but Miss Honoka, you have no right to criticize me. After all, I just adjusted something I made."
Mebius patted Kousaka Honoka's shoulder, then pointed at the White Bull Overlord who headbutted the two of them.
"Okay, stop hiding your secrets and show me your cheating skills~"
"What is cheating?"
Although she didn't want to listen to Mobius' arrangements, when facing a strong enemy like Hiruzen, Kousaka Honoka finally didn't care about retaining her strength and chose to use the power of the Extreme Lock Species.
Although Hiruzen was indeed very strong, he was unable to maintain his advantage at the beginning due to the collaboration of Kousaka Honoka's general and cheaters like Mebius.
After a fierce battle, he was finally killed by the fatal cannonball from the matchlock DJ gun loaded with pineapple lock seeds.
Without the last obstacle, Kousaka Honoka and Mebius finally arrived at the location of the Jadeite.
Seeing the two people coming, this time, even Feicui, who had remained calm at all times, seemed a little surprised.
"Even that Zhu was defeated so quickly? Such terrifying growth potential. Snake's vision in selecting candidates is still as sharp as ever."】
Ms. Alarm Clock: Ah, he died at the speed of light.
Barus: I feel like the codenames that aren’t the overlords of color have a pretty short lifespan.
Fever Cat: Are we finally going to fight Emerald? As long as we defeat him, humans should be able to get a temporary respite.
Starburst Abandoned Treatment Slash: Is it really that easy? Although the efficiency of collecting life energy was affected by Nagasaki Suyo, the life energy collected by Jade should be quite a lot during this period. I always feel that he won't die so easily.
Observer: Hey, isn't this life energy used to revive another overlord?
Monitor of Class F: You idiot, Bai Ya was deceived and it could be said that it was a problem of poor intelligence. But you, a guy with a God's perspective, do you really believe that the other party collected these life energies for this?
Observer and Punisher: Isn’t it?
F Class Leader: When you revive someone, do you pour energy into your weapon? What? You have to poke Hikari to revive her, right?
Dantie: Well, it doesn’t seem to be impossible.
