Don't You Think She's Beautiful?

"How is this possible? How can anyone act so freely without my permission?!"

Cromwell stared in disbelief, his dark blue pupils trembling.

Ever since I obtained the 'Andvaria's Ring' through that woman.

He had long been accustomed to controlling the bodies and wills of those around him.

Wherever it goes, everyone bows down in submission under its mesmerizing purple light.

But before him stood a pink-haired man who seemed to appear out of nowhere, like a ghost.

It seemed completely unaffected, moving freely within the dense purple light, which was truly frightening.

However.

The other person merely glanced at him indifferently.

The next second, a muffled thud echoed inside the church.

Before anyone could react, Wardes was already bent over and sent flying backward.

Then he crashed heavily into a stone pillar behind him, spitting out a large amount of blood.

Throughout the entire process, no one clearly saw what attack Wardes was subjected to.

Because, in their eyes, Biba Amatori did not make any move.

"Such fast movements, is this really something a human can do?"

Just then, Saito Hiraga uttered a rather shocking statement as he brandished his longsword.

It doesn't seem to be under the control of the 'Andvaria's Ring'.

'Derflinger' seemed to have guessed what Saito Hiraga and Louise were thinking, and explained in a serious tone:

"I'm different from you; I don't observe the outside world with my eyes, so I can perceive the movement he makes when he swings his arm rapidly."

"Partner, don't mess with this person, you'll die!"

[Whoosh!]

Suddenly, Louise, Saito Hiraga, and a blond youth Guiche had just run in appeared.

In a flash, the handsome figure with long pink hair vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the cult leader, Regan Chista.

'Derflinger' continues to provide live commentary.

"See that? That's not magic, it's pure speed, terrifying speed. I still doubt he might not be human!"

"Aaaaah, what are you doing? Get away! Back off! Don't come any closer!!"

On the other side.

Cromwell, dressed in a green robe and wearing a green flat cap.

Seeing the sudden proximity of the Biba Amatori, she panicked and retreated repeatedly.

At the same time, he pointed the 'Andvaria's Ring' on his right hand toward the past.

"I command you, no, I'm going to drain all the water out of your body!"

Cromwell roared hysterically as he frantically poured his magic into the ring.

This made the square amethyst shine even brighter.

And you know what? It seems to have worked; Biba Amatori's movements noticeably paused.

This brought a look of surprise to Cromwell's face.

But the next second...

His smile froze, because Biba Amatori started moving again.

With a smile on his face, he twisted his neck, and his skin, which was originally so fair that it would make even young girls Envy, was unknowingly tinged with a metallic black.

"What kind of magic is this? Why isn't the 'Andvaria's Ring' working? This is the 'Andvaria's Ring,' a secret treasure of the 'Water Spirit'!"

Cromwell was practically going mad.

In an instant.

Without a word, Biba Amatori grabbed the other person by the neck, slowly lifting their feet off the ground.

This left Cromwell red-faced and struggling desperately.

Meanwhile, she watched helplessly as the former pulled the ring off her finger.

"It can even make me use 'Hardening' with Armament Haki, so it seems to be a good thing~"

Biba Amatori chuckled as she examined the silver ring inlaid with a square amethyst.

At the same time.

Because the supply of magic was cut off, the purple light emanating from the ring quickly disappeared.

Chelsea, Saito Hiraga, Louise, and the others inside the church felt a sense of relief, once again enjoying the feeling of freedom.

"Uh, sorry, Captain, I think I messed things up."

Chelsea looked awkwardly at Biba Amatori's retreating figure and quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake.

She knew very well how powerful this captain from CP9 was.

She had heard of Tatsumi, the strongest swordsman in the Imperial Guard, when she was in the Imperial Intelligence Corps.

He was defeated and captured alive by a World Government expert capable of releasing purple poison gas.

Now she knew that the expert was none other than the captain standing before her.

What's most admirable is that this Biba Amatori isn't Sea Star Person, but rather an Otherworld like himself—that sounds incredibly impressive.

"Did you mess it up?"

Biba Amatori after hearing what was said behind her...

First, she released Cromwell, who had fainted from lack of oxygen, then turned around and looked at Chelsea with a puzzled expression.

"I remember your orders were to keep an eye on that Sir Edson, find where the Crown Prince of Wales is hiding, and tell us the location. Didn't you do a good job?"

After saying that, his gaze turned to the church door. "Mr. Hugh, you can come in now and help treat the Crown Prince of Wales."

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Biba Amatori said, and her goodwill towards the latter increased dramatically.

Then, as if remembering something, he quickly walked over to Wardes's side.

They found that the man had passed out, but judging from his still-rising chest, he was not dead.

Chelsea understood that this must be because Biba Amatori had shown mercy.

After all, a living person is definitely more useful than a dead one.

The main reason is that this Wardes is the strongest mage they have encountered, so he must know a lot about the magic of this world.

Thinking about this...

Chelsea used her Shingu, the Rattlesnake, to bind the other person's hands.

"What should we do, Saito?"

Louise watched nervously as Biba Amatori spoke in a language she couldn't understand, and instinctively grabbed Saito Hiraga's arm.

"They didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us, especially that beautiful and powerful Red-Haired lady. It's as if she gave the Crown Prince a pill and even helped us fend off that despicable Wardes."

Saito Hiraga Guiche standing next to him, nodded repeatedly, finding his words to be very reasonable.

Louise narrowed her eyes.

Why did you add the adjective 'beautiful'?

Saito Hiraga's heart tightened, and he stammered, "Ah, well, don't you think it's beautiful?"

Louise gripped her short cane tightly, angrily demanding, "Whether it's pretty or not, what's it to you?"

Once she gets into a tantrum, she completely forgets about the environment and atmosphere.

Fortunately, not everyone was like that, Guiche quickly waved his hand to dissuade them.

"Louise, this isn't the time for this. Look, someone's coming towards us. What should we do? Do you know them?"

Upon hearing this, Saito Hiraga and Louise's attention shifted to Mr. Hugh, who was walking towards them.

Mr. Hugh didn't greet them immediately.

Instead, he first chatted briefly with Knight Edson, who was clutching his chest and leaning against a stone pillar not far away.

Edson's expression was not good, after all, Biba Amatori and the others were definitely following him.

But I have to be thankful that the other party caught up.

After all, if it weren't for Chelsea, no one could have stopped Wardes and Cromwell.

And the Crown Prince of Wales is unlikely to be alive any longer.

Therefore, he could only choose not to dwell on these meaningless things.

He took the white pill with a purple butterfly printed on it from the other person and swallowed it.

After his body recovered somewhat in a faint purple light.

Edson stood up and walked up to Louise, Saito Hiraga, and Guiche, who all looked wary.

"These three adventurers are allies; they should have a way to heal His Highness the Crown Prince."
