He pulled out his magic sword, Typhoon, and swung it over his head, blowing mana and flame into it.
Kwaaaaah-!
The endlessly extending blades of fiery wind swirled fiercely, creating a huge vortex like a disc.
It was the technology 'Eye of the Fiery Typhoon' that swept away the foreign substances in the East.
Saaaaah-!
Here, if you continue to pour mana into the magic sword Typhoon and increase the length of the flame blade, the disc-shaped flame will change into a whirlpool.
This is because heat causes rising air currents.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A pillar of fire appeared out of nowhere in the night sky over the port city.
When the pillar of fire rises high into the sky, it uses the power of the dragon's words to create flames, sending sparks flying in all directions, and even releases spirits to circle around the edge of the whirlpool, growing in size.
Kwakwakwakwa-!
"under!"
It was such a beautiful sight that I couldn't help but laugh.
“It’s beautiful.”
Jaylilith must have thought so too, as she looked up at the sky and smiled gracefully.
Knock, knock.
The darkness of the night was torn apart by swirling flames, and the shadows of the denizens who should have disappeared from this world were clearly visible all over the streets, and the feathers scattered by their masters were all set ablaze.
“Caak!?”
The skeletal giant let out a cry of panic from its fleshless neck.
I glared at the bastard with my eyes wide open, which were torn vertically.
"asleep!"
Come to me and burn.
Inside the crow's skull, red eyes trembled and avoided my gaze.
“Kaaaah!”
The creature spread its wings again, scattering its feathers.
Hwaaaaak-!
Tens of thousands of feathers flew up again like snow, accompanied by a strong wind.
“Noisy and dirty. You ugly sinner.”
I swung my left hand and aimed it forward.
Whioooo-!
A blistering typhoon of flames flew towards him.
“Kaaaah!”
A scream of pain was heard.
I laughed at the very satisfying voice.
The feathers that flew into the sky were all on fire before they even hit the ground, the feathers attached to the thing's wings were scorched by the heat before they could even fly out, and now the fire is spreading to the thing's bones.
okay.
Everything that was supposed to happen was happening.
Ssaeeek-!
A few black feathers flew towards me.
I injected mana into the spirit armor I borrowed from Charles.
Saaaaah.
The body armor, like a leather vest, glowed red and a red field appeared around my body.
Thud, thud!
The black feather was blocked by the force field and bounced off.
It felt somehow similar to when my hand disappeared into the spirit's essence, but I ignored it for now.
“Look at your pitiful appearance! Your bones won’t even be enough to pitch a tent!”
As its wings flared, the skeletal giant's size was reduced by half.
It seemed like I could just bake it like this.
Cheeeeek!
The bastard was still drawing up black energy, wrapping it around his chest bone and internal organs, but that energy was still being counteracted by my flames.
I was pretty confident in the long game too.
He raised the energy of the dragon's words and handed it over to the fire spirits.
“Bully me.”
“Karrrrr!”
pop!
The spirits chuckled and threw themselves in front of the skeleton giant's plump eyes.
pop!
Flames erupted and the creature's red eyes turned a cloudy crimson.
“Kaaaah!”
It would be quite enjoyable to slowly burn it to death and absorb its power.
Of course, my emperor was not a very patient man.
* * *
Crackle! Crackle!
Purple light and white electricity burned across Jaylilith's black silk gloves.
“I didn’t allow you to breathe air!”

The light grew darker and brighter, almost bringing tears to my eyes, and spread downward from the tips of my fingers, wrapping around my wrist.
Woohoo!
Soon she waved her hands in the air, and a pair of giant hands made of purple light and white lightning appeared above our heads.
It was a huge hand, with each finger as big as a maple tree, and the palm of the hand easily large enough to hold a boat.
It was a high-level destruction spell, comparable to the 'Spear of Wrath', called 'Hand of Wrath'.
… … That’s not a magic that you use alone, but rather a magic that fifteen high-ranking magicians gather together to cast.
Saaaaah-.
Jaylilith's 'Hands of Wrath' flew into the sky and flew at the skeleton giant.
Although it wasn't a very fast speed, the skeleton giant's eyes were filled with fire spirits, and it was impossible to avoid them by seeing them.
“Hehehehehe!”
Perhaps realizing that it couldn't go on like this, the skeleton giant opened its mouth wide again and tried to let out a mental wave.
“Kaaaaaa-.”
Jaylilith spat out each syllable as if she was chewing on it.
“I’m sick of this.”
'The Hand of Wrath' grabbed the skeleton giant's beak as if to tell him to stop talking.
Kkwadduk!
The beak, which was glowing black metallic, was crushed by the tremendous force.
She smiled contentedly at the sight, then conjured a white mass into the air.
Woohoo!
The lump in the shape of a window shimmered with a rainbow sheen.
The spell that symbolized Jaylilith was the 'Spear of Wrath'.
“Your Majesty. Burn my heart.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Her lips curved as if she too was enjoying this moment.
Wedge!
The spear of wrath flew at a speed that left no afterimage, the skeletal giant drew up black energy to protect its heart, and the mass of light and bone collided.
-!
–!
Beep-!
There was a loud noise that was so loud it made my ears ring.
The bastard's heart was protected by bony skin, dark energy, and broad ribs, but the spear of wrath pierced through all of these defenses, exposing the flesh inside.
Thump! Thump!
A mass of blood red and savage flesh was twitching.
“There it is.”
I immediately lit a fire in his heart.
“You will burn in agony, and the strength you have built by risking your life and soul will be taken away for free by me. Your wretched life was surely meant to be my sacrifice.”
The savage flesh began to glow orange.
The skeleton giant knelt on the floor.
“Even your mutated soul will be consumed by this fire, so you will not be able to go to hell.”
I laughed at his death and despised the lives of the eroding believers.
The foreign energy purified by fire from the bastard's heart flowed into me.
A feeling of fullness came over me, as if I had drunk a very sweet drink.
It was so satisfying, it was almost ecstatic.
Saaaaa… … .
The red energy continued for a long time and then stopped.
Crispy.
The skeleton giant's body turned to ash.
* * *
“His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Grand Duke have hunted the skeletal giant encroachers! Now, we will move on to the extermination battle!”
The enemy knight's voice echoed through the sky.
She had just split the torso of a twelve-headed ermine in half.
“Long live His Majesty the Emperor!”
“Long live His Highness the Grand Duke!”
Amidst cheers from all sides, Valencian's private soldiers began their finishing touches.
“We’re moving to a sweeping battle! Prepare your invasive identification magic tools! Be suspicious of all back alleys, trash cans, abandoned houses, and warehouses!”
“Gunners, assist the machine gunners! Keep a safe distance. Watch the sky and the ground!”
“Move! Move! Move!”
Valencian brought 20 of his 25 mechanical knights, leaving 5 to guard the Nibelungen.
Fifteen mechanical engineers each led four to eight machine gunners and ran into the alleys near the intersection.
“Six-legged entity heading out of the city confirmed! We will kill them!”
“Check the erosion on both sides of the face! Kill complete!”
“This is Rongart. A ‘rat hole’ has been discovered in the alley behind the Governor’s residence. I will use the flamethrower circuit.”
Taaang! Taaang! Taaang!
Even though the fiery typhoon that had dyed the sky red had died down, the sound of gunfire did not cease.
The predator's instinct is not to kill, but to spread.
“Karrrrr!”
“Shiieeek!”
“Kick, kick!”
The moment they realized that the tide had turned, they fled in all directions.
However, the gunners armed with Sererazi's Discrimination Magic Tool, Valencianus's battle doctrine, Marcus's equipment, and Rudy's marksmanship caught all the invaders who were running in all directions.
The mechanical engineers also did their best until the end.
Choaaaak!
He would emit a net of electricity to catch the beast-like invaders that were escaping into the forest, shoot flames into their holes to suffocate all the rat-like invaders, and cut in half any who resisted.
“Body recovery team in. Temporarily collect the corpses of the invaders in the garden of the mansion at 3 o’clock. Control the entrance of the people and clergy as His Majesty Valencian will ‘burn’ them.”
The corpses that littered the streets of the port at the end of the river were piled up in the garden of a wealthy, unfortunate mansion, and the ceaseless sound of gunfire was about to cease.
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
The most noble twins in the empire came down the hill with a leisurely gait.
“Well done, Your Highness. Even without Jim, we would have won easily.”
“No. Thanks to Your Majesty, we were able to reduce casualties.”
The Holy Emperor was conversing with her Archduke with a satisfied expression.
chuck!
The machine gunners and musketeers saluted the Emperor, who briefly raised a finger or two in response, then looked at the piles of corpses of the encroachers in the garden within the wall.
“Yes. If we leave this alone, it will only give birth to more undead. Is the guarding against outside eyes and the blindfold for the sake of Grand Duke Valencian? He has subordinates who are just as meticulous as I am.”
There was a sense of pleasure in her tone and gaze.
'It was acknowledged.'
'Now, Marcus and I are firmly part of the court nobility!'
'I can finally fit into the capital's social circle.'
The mechanics bowed their heads in relief and accomplishment.
* * *
The Duke of Mangnani walked into the garden with an awkward smile.
“Excuse me for a moment, Your Majesty.”
The pleasant hunger had already disappeared, and there were many eyes watching this place.
Burning foreign substances and corrosive substances and absorbing their power was by no means an act that could be proudly shown off in front of others.
“So be it.”
The Emperor remained at the crossroads and listened to Albertus and Tentia's reports.
“Did you say that the Governor’s family was of great help in the evacuation?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Thanks to you, we were able to prevent further erosion.”
“Call him in. I will decide what to do.”
Knock, knock,
As flames began to roar within the walls of the mansion and black smoke began to rise into the night sky, the blue-eyed siblings prostrated themselves before the Emperor.
The flames were rising beyond the wall behind Jaylilith, casting a red halo behind her indifferent smile and white hair, and dark shadows on her distinct facial features.
His appearance was just like that of a capricious god of fate.
“…….”
Charles and Charin bowed their heads in silence, while Jaylilith let out a sadistic cry.
“I know that even if I had ten mouths, I would have nothing to say. To think that you would steal my vassal away is truly astonishing.”
Charles hit his forehead on the floor without saying a word, and Charin cried out in pain.
“Please spare my brother.”
At this, the Holy Emperor showed a bitter smile.
“Your acting skills are worse than Jim’s twin.”
Sharin's body stiffened.
'It's done.'
The emperor's voice rang out loud.
“The crime of trying to steal vassals, the crime of secretly protecting the royal family, and the crime of stealing the tribute that should have been offered by me are all serious. Don’t ask how I knew. Corrupt governors are everywhere.”
Charles didn't come up, his head still on the floor.
'I have to say goodbye to the body, Father. I'll be there soon.'
He acknowledged that his family's ambitions had consumed them.
But what followed was quite different from what he had expected.
“But I will not charge you with aiding and abetting treason. I know full well that a member of the family has no choice but to side with the head of the family, and above all, that is… not my way.”
“……!”
“You may have had unholy thoughts and devised evil plans that should not be spoken of, but those who carried them out have already been punished, and if you hold possibility in guilt, no one will be able to survive.”
A strange light passed over the siblings' faces.
'Isn't our ambition something to be ashamed of?'
Charin, who had dreamed of becoming an empress, blushed in the face, and Charles, who had thought of inheriting everything from his father, also clenched his teeth in shame.
The Holy Emperor concluded his speech indifferently, whether he knew it or not.
1 She rose to the top on her own after experiencing the huge factional fight between the prince and the crown prince.
She didn't attach much importance to the after-story of any incident that was trivial anyway.
“I will stay in this city for a while. When I appoint a new governor, you will assist him for a year. Then you will leave for another city. This is exile.”
That's how Jaylilith lived.
* * *
I smiled contentedly and walked out of the garden fence.
After receiving help from Jaylilith on how to use mana, I learned how some of the dregs remained and how to absorb them more efficiently.
After devouring all the powers of the skeleton giants and the eroders, I felt overflowing with strength.
“Your Majesty, please come in. Your Majesty’s vassal, the Mermaid Princess, is waiting for you.”
“I see. I’m really looking forward to it.”
She opened her yellow eyes thinly.
The night was just beginning.
