Chapter 41 - Thunder of Judgment 【POV: Cerros Baal】 Zeus, the “Divine Hammer of the Thunder Emperor”, also known as the “Tower of Babel”. That was the name of the magic tool used by the first emperor of Baal to destroy the country that occupied this land and found his own empire. Before making himself emperor, Zebul Baal was an adventurer: while traveling through the plains in this area, he discovered a new kind of ancient ruins. Zebul explored the ruins with his comrades and found a certain…

Chapter 42 - The Princess Mourns One week after the battle of Fort Bryden, I was still busy dealing with the aftermath. Even if it was a crushing victory for House Maxwell, the soldiers and the fortress were certainly not unharmed. The dead had to be properly honored, the fortress repaired, the prisoners dealt with — too many things to do, too little time. As heir to the Margrave, I took the lead in organizing all of the above. Finally, when the preparations reached a satisfactory point, I went to my…

Chapter 43 - The Cost of Power “...I believe that is the magic tool called ‘Zeus’.” After Sakuya finished her report, Rossellia spoke with a grave expression. “It is said that the founding emperor, Baal Zebul, found it in a dungeon during his time as an adventurer. A divine weapon that allowed him to devastate small countries in the area and build his empire.” “A divine weapon? That’s a pretty amazing description.” “It may sound so, but if the legends are true, it deserves such a…

Chapter 36 - A Traitor’s Fate “H-H-EEEEK! Y-You damned fools!! As if I could die in a place like this!!” In the frenzied battlefield, after the Maxwell cavalry’s entrance, a shadow was scurrying away like a rat. “How dare you do this to me, Dyngir Maxwell…!! Rest assured, I’m going to have your head on a platter…!!” The crazed shrieking was produced by Lars Baal’ former attendant in the First Imperial Army — Snowe Halphas. After his collusion with Grett Baal was discovered, he had…

Chapter 44 - The Thunder Despot 【POV: Grett Baal】 “I beg of you, Sire! If the lands continue to dry at this rate, the people will starve!” “The tax collections will also decrease severely, please reconsider…” “...I fail to see the problem. Even if a few plebs die, it can’t matter much, can it?” Inside Zeus — on the top floor of the tower of Babel, I was being forced to listen to the reports of my brainless subordinates. Though rather than reports, they were mostly pleas by local…

Chapter 37 - The Cornered Creep “W-Where should I run to now!?” In the Second Imperial Army encampment, the Second Imperial Prince — Grett Baal was scurrying left and right. The reason why he was still in his army’s camp, without running away…was certainly not because he was resolved to face the First Imperial Army or the Maxwell forces head-on. But the simple fact that fighting had broken out all around the camp, leaving no room for escape. “Your Highness, please calm down! Our defeat…

Chapter 38 - The Creep’s Trump Card “W-What are the soldiers doing!? How could you come all the way here…!?” “Either knocked out or surrendered. It turns out they’re sick of serving a master that couldn’t care less about them.” “Those useless morons…!” Grett clenched his teeth so hard they made grinding sounds. The Second Imperial Prince, presently a living impersonation of anger and frustration, had a very thin, almost skeletal physique and a complexion that seemed all but…

Chapter 39 - The Slothful Moves — And the Final Trump Card 【POV: Grett Baal】 “GWAAAHHH!?!” Blood trickled continuously from the wound. I dropped to my knees and clenched my chest. “D-DAMN YOU!!! Dyngir Maxwell!! I-I’m going to kill you!! Tear you to pieces!! With my own haaands!!” I was teleported at the same time of the attack: thanks to that, the wound was not too deep. Never in my life, however, had I ever been hurt in such a manner, so my heart, mind and mouth overflowed with hatred…
