Ch. 150.3

All the previous teasing and speculation instantly got answers at this moment.

The Lord’s illegitimate daughter? Bah! This is clearly one of the bosses!

“So I’ve been playing around with a boss all this time.”

Raven felt somewhat dumbfounded, and also somewhat amused.

Damn, no wonder that old thing Gray Serpent would give such stupid orders, no wonder the Lord was so obedient, so this is how it was.

This appearance falling in the Elysian Ellie’s eyes made her prop up her cheek, showing some interest:

“Oh my, it seems there are quite a few more things I need to learn from my main body.”

To make such a cute girl show this expression, it seems the main body has indeed done many interesting things outside.

But the main body playing around outside while her memory body in the realm almost took the blame for the main body — even if it’s the main body, that’s too much!

The next moment, noticing something, the Elysian Ellie frowned, and with Raven’s experience, she naturally noticed her abnormality, asking somewhat puzzled: “What happened?”

She wasn’t clear about Elysia’s personality, but if using that pink rogue as an example, to make her show such an expression meant something bad must have happened.

“…One of your companions has entered Kalpas’s domain.”

Mei, who didn’t know about the Thirteen Flame-Chasers situation, didn’t know the seriousness of this matter, but when Miss Dodo heard this sentence, her expression instantly changed subtly.

Bad, feared what would come.

On this trip to the realm, what she feared most was someone provoking that killing star.

“Who is it?”

“Seems to be a silver-haired girl.”

“Bronya!”

Raven and Raiden Mei said that name in unison.

— The Elysian Realm was divided into many areas, each Flame-Chaser had their fixed activity area. As past heroes, even if one mistakenly entered their areas, even Mobius’s area, the most serious consequence might be waking up to find oneself tied to an operating table.

But there was one area that was an exception among these ‘safe areas.’

The master of that place was named — Kalpas.

The sixth of the Flame-Chasers, the mad king who held the signet of 【Decimation】, was already a notorious existence to be avoided during the Fire Moth period 50,000 years ago, and in this remnant of past memories left by the Previous Era, he remained unchanged.

Among the many visitors who had come before, there were those who reached Kalpas’s domain, but everyone who came out from there was extremely terrified of what happened inside.

Those who truly passed through there — not a single one!

“Herrscher, get out of my territory.”

Arrogant, violent, sounding not like a human voice but the roar of some prehistoric beast, this chilling mockery and rage came from that tall figure dyed with flames.

The high-temperature resistant mask forged from special steel seemed to depict some kind of beast, the only visible features being that pale hair and — those eyes filled with rage that could be glimpsed through the mask’s gaps.

“…”

Bronya’s expression instantly became unpleasant.

Logically speaking, if the other party was the master here, and she had indeed trespassed, if you said a couple words, Ducky might have obediently left.

But your attitude is a bit too impolite, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to completely not care about her feelings, only coldly scolding:

“Scram, or die.”

— Kalpas had always been like this.

He almost never had any good attitude toward any visitor, let alone when the one appearing in Kalpas’s domain was a… Herrscher.

In the past, this man’s attitude toward Herrschers should have been — even one extra word would be wasteful, die for me! — a kill-without-mercy attitude.

Being able to drive away Bronya with just extremely cold tone and terrible attitude was actually already giving face due to Bronya’s young age.

— Bronya, who didn’t understand this, only felt frustrated.

I’m already a Herrscher, okay? Don’t I also need face?

After being taken down by that silly goose earlier, Bronya had been holding back anger in her heart.

The very proud her had been thinking about when she could get back the face she lost.

And now I’m angry, and I run into such an impolite guy…

Fine, fine, fine, you want to fight, right!

Others might fear you, but I, Bronya, am not afraid of you!

That Holy Goose, Ducky admits she really can’t beat, that can only be said — Ducky’s luck was bad, just happened to encounter someone I couldn’t beat.

But I, Bronya, can’t possibly have bad luck every time, right?

In terms of measuring her own strength, Ducky was quite confident.

After losing to that goose, having lost the Void core, her control over the Herrscher of Reason had increased by several percentage points. Now Bronya felt she was at least three times stronger than before.

I can’t beat that silly goose, but can’t I beat you, masked man?

But Ducky, who was already in the wrong, didn’t take the initiative to attack, just putting on an expression of — I’m staying right here, what can you do about it.

Undoubtedly, this was a response to Kalpas’s warning—

And it instantly made him laugh out loud, covering his mask, his sinister, savage laughter echoing throughout the entire domain.

“You’re seeking death.”

“Hahahahaha, Herrscher! Next, struggle to your heart’s content! At least prove to me — you’re worth killing!”

The spine-chilling laughter was accompanied by rapidly rising temperature in the air, that unsettling heat made the originally alert Ducky’s heart tighten.

Bad, this person seems to actually have quite some strength!

But don’t panic, I, Bronya, am also very strong. Just this level is completely incomparable to that shining big goose from before!

“Who can win is still uncertain!”

Perhaps not wanting to lose momentum, facing Kalpas’s rage-filled mocking words, Bronya straightened her neck in defiance, while clenching her fists.

The power of the Herrscher of Reason began to operate.

Although she would still feel pain, perhaps because the Elysian Realm was a consciousness simulation device, the pain of core backlash was reduced several times compared to reality.

At the same time, her control over the core also improved somewhat. From the original pitiful single digits, she barely reached double digits.

— The current me is stronger than in reality!

Discovering this point, Bronya’s lips curved up slightly, even ignoring the surrounding temperature that continued to rise.

I, Ducky, am going at it again!
