Chapter 50 - Necropolis Every time I kicked the sand, a cloud of dust swelled up. I was racing through the desert, as if chased by a sandstorm. Enveloped in the golden light emanated by my bracelet, I advanced straight west. “Haha…I might get addicted to this speed!” The scenery flew past me: I felt as if I had become a living arrow, or a bolt of lightning. Shape of Indra, the secret technique of Herakles, boosted my physical abilities to the limit, easily surpassing the speed that using Herakles on…

Chapter 5 - Messengers from the West At noon the next day, I had an early lunch and visited House Thunderbird. The butler led me to a guest room where Echidna was sitting on a sofa, magnificently fanning herself. “Oh my, how punctual, Dyn. I expected you to sleep in.” “Don’t treat me like a kid now. I’m 19, you know?” “Hehe, I imagined you would sleep in after you had your fun with your cute Sakuya…but I suppose the seeds of the next Margrave have started sprouting?” “...you’re…

Chapter 25 - Meanwhile, I was… I was hiding in a building not too far from the governor’s palace, biding my time. Together with me in the dark room there were Sue, some White Demon pirates and the slave children. We were all waiting for a certain moment to come. “...already?” The faint sound of a trumpet reached my ears and I squinted. There was still some time till we were supposed to act. “Sue, what’s the time?” “It’s…exactly 50 minutes, Master.” Sue checked the wind-up clock and…

Chapter 8 - The Ship’s Destination I brought clothes and a simple meal for Sue, then went out to the deck. The sea breeze cooled off the heat from my body. The seabirds were crying overhead: we were approaching land. “You sure had fun last night, fool of a son!” “...you were on this ship, shitty hag?” As soon as I stepped on deck, my mother — sitting on the ship’s bow — called out to me. The ship I was on, formerly owned by the Snakebone pirates, was following the lead of the White…

Chapter 56 - A Heart Devoured “NOOOOO!!! MILLIA!! TEP!! Why!? Why did you do this!?” I had just sworn that I would become Queen to protect them. So, why did this happen to them? It was…unbelievable. “Hohoho…I am glad to see that you are satisfied with the offerings, Your Majesty.” “What are you saying!? Why did you do this to them…!?” Furious, I yelled at the head cleric — at the old woman responsible for the murder of the two people dearest to me. I tried to stand up from the throne…

Chapter 27 - The Second Betrayal 【POV: Jaar Menfis】 “GWOOOOOHHHHH!!!” Outside the fortress, rows upon rows of undead swarmed the walls, trying to climb. The House Sphinx soldiers were beating them back down, but the inhuman creatures continued to climb relentlessly, without a moment of rest. In the past few days, the soldiers’ morale had visibly dropped. They had already realized that the fortress would not last for much longer. Vert, gazing with admiration at the soldiers’ desperate efforts,…

Chapter 31 - The Queen of the Sea Birds Countless sea birds were flying over the port, mewing, cawing and crying. From their claws and beaks dangled pieces of rope lit on fire, which they dropped over the pirate ships. Some of the birds even carried glass bottles filled with oil, which helped spread the flames further. The fire eventually reached the pirates’ flaming arrows, explosives and gunpowder meant for the “Overthrower” cannon, setting off large explosions. Cue a series of deafening…

Interlude - Dietrich Maxwell’s Adventure Part 17 - Letter from Home Having successfully found the pirate booty, we loaded our ship as much as we could and left Alexandrite island. The ship was filled to the brim, but even so I doubt we even took 1% of the treasures hoarded in that room. The White Demons were going to take control of that island and use it as their home base from then on. “Hey, Dietrich. Won’t you join the White Demons too?” At the Sapphire kingdom harbor, Grace gave me my share…
