Aiba Asagi quickly pulled Akatsuki Nagisa away from the conflict zone.
"A-Asagi Onee-chan, will Akatsuki-san be alright?"
"There are so many beastmen; what if he can't defeat them? We have to find a way to help him."
Akatsuki Nagisa asked worriedly, looking at Aiba Asagi who was pulling her.
Regarding this question...
Aiba Asagi didn't want to answer.
There's no need to worry about those things.
Of course, if you want to worry, you should worry more about those beastmen.
After all, the King is a man who can even control giant dragons.
Mere beastmen?
He'll handle them easily.
"Don't worry, he's very strong."
At the same time, in a tall building near Saikai Private Academy.
A bored Vatra stood on the rooftop, wearing sunglasses.
Watching the situation inside Saikai Academy, he became interested.
"What a surging aura, truly worthy of being my rival in love. I really want to have a good fight with him."
Vatra said seriously.
Unlike Tony...
Both were battle-hungry.
But Tony was more inclined to constantly challenge, while Vatra was the type who wouldn't bother others if he wasn't bothered. Of course, if they were bored, both would seek out fights.
What's more...
Now, Vatra knew more about Abel, about this rival in love of his.
He really wanted to fight him.
How exciting!
Just then, Nangong Natsuki appeared near him.
Vatra quickly located her and greeted her.
"Good morning, Miss Nangong~"
Facing Vatra's words, Nangong Natsuki calmly said, "This is not the time for greetings, Snake Charmer. Are none of you guys from War King Domain normal?"
"Well, well~ What a sharp assessment."
Listening to Nangong Natsuki's words, Vatra pulled down his sunglasses, but he was completely indifferent to these comments.
"However, instead of staying properly on the 'Ocean's Tomb,' what are you doing here?"
Nangong Natsuki stared at Vatra with vigilance.
Vatra crossed his arms and smiled, "I'm just here to enjoy this interesting situation and see how strong my rival in love is."
"Besides, I'm bored and have nothing to do~"
Nangong Natsuki heard him and didn't say anything more.
She had to admit...
He was truly a troublesome fellow.
"Bored?"
"You'd better be truly so."
Saying that, Nangong Natsuki shifted her gaze downwards.
Inside Saikai Academy.
Abel stood alone on the ground.
All the surrounding beastmen couldn't withstand Abel's aura and collapsed to the ground.
Galdos knelt on the ground, cold sweat continuously flowing.
This... Is this the difference in strength?
But... What is this unwillingness?
I'm not reconciled!
He had prepared for so long to pull the First Progenitor from his pedestal!
What'Sanctuary Treaty,' what peace!
All nonsense!
Only war is the truth!!
Galdos's expression changed repeatedly, and Abel's lips curved slightly upwards.
He was quite good at changing expressions.
However... Abel's voice carried a hint of playfulness as he said, "What, still want to continue?"
At the same time, the pressure of his aura intensified.
Crack~
Crack~
A series of crisp sounds rang out.
Except for Galdos, all the beastmen present had their bones crushed.
And Galdos's body also began to tremble; he felt as if his bones were about to be pulverized by this aura.
"P-Please spare me."
Galdos stammered, enduring the fear of death.
Abel chuckled.
"Spare you? You're not worthy of negotiating terms."
"Now, I ask, you answer."
"If the answer doesn't satisfy me, then die."
Galdos's body trembled like a sieve, nodding frantically.
"Where did you put narakuvera!"
As soon as this question was asked...
Galdos's heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected Abel to directly ask this crucial question.
However... This King was actually interested in this weapon of war, so everything would be easier to handle.
After all, only he knew where those things were placed.
Galdos's eyes darted around, feigning composure, and said, "I can tell you, but you have to promise to let me live."
"Heh heh, negotiating terms with me?"
Abel sneered, his aura suddenly increasing several times. Galdos was instantly pressed to the ground, his bones creaking.
"Do you think you have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me?"
Abel walked step by step towards Galdos, each step seemingly treading on his heart.
Galdos's eyes widened in terror, his face filled with despair.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
He hurriedly shouted, "We put narakuvera on Itogami Island's dock!!"
Abel stopped.
Hmm.
This guy didn't lie, it seems his revolutionary ideals weren't as important as his own life.
If he had faced death fearlessly, he might have earned a higher regard.
"Very good, very well."
"Then... It's time to send you on your way!"
"No... You broke your word!!"
"Heh heh, what does the King's word have to do with me, a demon?"
Just then, Vatra appeared inside the academy. He stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at Abel with an excited expression.
"Wow, truly worthy of being my rival in love. This strength is truly exhilarating."
"Vatra, what are you doing here!"
"Of course, I came to join the fun."
Vatra said, approaching Abel, his eyes filled with a longing for battle.
"Abel, let's fight! I can't wait to feel your power."
Galdos took advantage of this gap, trying to sneak away.
But he quickly stopped.
A black snake was opening its gaping maw, and if he made the slightest move, he would die on the spot.
"Galdos, don't even think about running away~"
"I still need to take you back to report to the First Progenitor."
Abel looked at Vatra; he somewhat didn't want to bother with him.
A sycophant.
"Now is not the time for a fight; I have important matters to attend to."
Abel said, then prepared to leave for Itogami Island's dock to search for narakuvera.
After all, he was very interested in those things.
His big brother was also interested.
But Vatra was persistent, blocking Abel's path.
"That won't do. I can't wait any longer; if I miss this opportunity, I'll regret it."
Vatra said, then his eyes narrowed, revealing snake-like pupils. "Or are you, as my rival in love, afraid to fight me?"
As he spoke, his aura erupted.
Behind him, purple snakes all adopted a combat stance.
Abel looked at Vatra.
It seemed this battle was unavoidable.
"Then... Let's make it a quick one."
