The Black Death Emperor Faction Volunteers for Death
Even she herself didn't know where this irritability came from.
However, just as she was about to speak, she noticed the intense, indescribable emotion in Vatler's Yotsuba Mahiro.
"Wait."
It was Yotsuba Mahiro spoke.
He first broke free from the encirclement of the maids, then sat up and warned Vatler:
"First of all, while your maids are nice, unfortunately they're not my type; secondly, if you dare to perform Sichuan opera in front of me, I'll kill you right now."
Upon hearing this, Vatler immediately withdrew his burning gaze and raised his hands as if in surrender.
Is Vatler afraid of Yotsuba Mahiro?
That's natural.
Even the Ninth Prince of the Extinction Dynasty had his heart pierced by this guy and hung on a flagpole. Even the Third True Ancestor Chaos Empress Gada, was seriously injured by this guy and fled from Itogami Island.
Although Vatler was arrogant, he wasn't stupid, and naturally didn't want these things to happen to him.
However, it is precisely because Yotsuba Mahiro, with his human body, displayed power comparable to that of the True Ancestors that he admires and desires him so much.
Craving that power.
I crave that blood!
"Duke Ardeal, let's get down to business."
At that moment, Yukina spoke in a cold voice, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
"Your Yotsuba Mahiro, have you ever heard of Jadex?"
Vatler ignored Yukina and looked at Yotsuba Mahiro with a smile, noticing that Mahiro raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Black Death Emperor Faction?"
"Yes, that's right." Vatler casually took a bottle of champagne from the tray and explained calmly:
"He is a retired orc soldier from the War King's Domain, a somewhat well-known terrorist in Europe, and a cadre of the radical group Black Death Emperor Faction."
"I've heard of the Black Death Emperor Faction, but didn't it collapse several years ago? Because its leader was assassinated, right?" Yukina asked curiously.
As she spoke, her gaze would occasionally drift towards Yotsuba Mahiro.
The disbandment and destruction of the Black Death Emperor Faction were also somewhat related to this man.
Because when this man seized the Twelfth Prototype on Gozo Island, he also conveniently eliminated "Dead Emperor's Younger Brother" Glenn Khasalov, delivering the most fatal blow after the death of the Black Death Emperor Faction's leader.
"That's right, I killed him. Although it was an old orc with some tricky skills."
Vatler raised his glass to drink and smiled leisurely:
"And Jadex was one of the orcs who survived from the Black Death Emperor Faction. However, that guy didn't give up and gathered the remnants again, becoming the new leader."
"Wait a minute, is your reason for coming to Itogami Island related to that man named Jadex?" Yukina hurriedly asked.
"That's right. Intelligence indicates that Jadex has led the Black Death Emperor Faction's subordinates to infiltrate the artificial island."
Vatler nodded admiringly and told Yotsuba Mahiro in an official tone.
"The Black Death Emperor Faction are orc supremacists with discriminatory views. Their goal is to completely destroy the peace treaty signed between humans and the True Ancestors and seize control of the War King's Domain from the First True Ancestor."
"Not only that, intelligence also indicates that they obtained the power to kill the True Ancestor from some ancient ruins."
As he said this, Vatler's gaze involuntarily drifted to the Schneewaltzer in Yukina's hand.
"It's... the legacy of the Holy Annihilation, isn't it?"
Yukina slowly tightened her grip on the silver-white gun barrel.
The so-called Holy Annihilation Legacy refers to the weapons used to kill the progenitors of the demon race, as well as the weapons used to kill the progenitors of humanity.
They are usually excavated from ancient ruins.
The core of the Seven-Style Assault Anti-Demon Machine Gun, Schneewaltzer, in her hand is the Devas Legacy "Demon-Destroying Sacred Spear," an armament used to counter the Holy Annihilation Legacy.
"The power you speak of that killed the True Ancestor must be Narakvera, right?"
It was Yotsuba Mahiro spoke this time.
His words caused the air in the room to fall silent instantly, and everyone looked at him with incredulous eyes.
Even after a moment of stunned silence, Vatler burst into laughter.
"As expected of you, truly as expected of you! Every encounter with Yotsuba Mahiro brings me unexpected surprises! It's like Pandora's box from mythology!"
He hadn't expected that the other party knew more than just about the Holy Annihilation's legacy.
They even knew about Narakvera's existence.
With just this one sentence, his many plans were disrupted.
Originally, he wanted to use the Black Death Emperor Faction to decipher Narakvera, and then test Yotsuba Mahiro's power, as well as his own strength.
Now it seems like this won't work... No, that's not right!
Suddenly, Vatler noticed a hint of anticipation flickering in Yotsuba Mahiro's eyes.
I see!
Oh, I see! That's really interesting!
So you also want to test your power using the Holy Annihilation Legacy?!
Vatler suddenly realized that Yotsuba Mahiro not only possessed power, but perhaps, in some ways, was a like-minded madman like himself!
"Wait, Duke Ardeal, since the terrorists in Europe are targeting the First True Ancestor, what brings you to Itogami Island? And what is the purpose of holding such a high-profile banquet?"
Yukina spoke again, breaking the eye contact between the two.
Following that, Yukina analyzed further:
"Such a high-profile appearance on Itogami Island, while the remnants of the Black Death Emperor Faction have already infiltrated Itogami Island, and you, Duke Ardeal, are the murderer of the former leader of the Black Death Emperor Faction... Are you trying to make Itogami Island the target of the Black Death Emperor Faction?!"
These words made Vatler look at this sword sorceress, who, like the fool beside him, came from the Lionelle's matchmaking agency, with slightly different eyes.
"I didn't expect that the Lion King Agency would have other intelligent people besides the Three Saints. No wonder Koyomi Himgari arranged for you to be by Yotsuba Mahiro's side."
This is not flattery; apart from the True Ancestor and Yotsuba Mahiro, no one else could make Vatler flatter them.
Moreover, it must be said that Yukina Himeragi is really smart, something Vatler didn't anticipate.
They were able to deduce his purpose in coming to Itogami Island from just a few words.
Indeed.
If Jadex did obtain the power to kill the True Ancestor, then they would certainly seek revenge on Vatler first.
"This is no time for such talk! If it's war, you can go back to your own territory. Please don't drag your senior into this, and don't cause trouble for other countries' cities!"
Upon receiving a positive reply, Yukina shuddered and scolded Vatler.
"There's no other way; we can only defend ourselves against terrorist attacks. If future battles destroy the facilities on the artificial island, I apologize in advance."
Vatler smiled slightly, then shrugged indifferently and said:
"However, if the magicians on the artificial island can capture Jadex, then I have nothing to say. It's best if it saves us trouble."
A complete warmonger.
That tendency to thrive on chaos is even more repulsive.
As long as Vatler asserts his right to self-defense, the Lion King Agency, to which Yukina and the others belong, cannot stop him.
As a diplomatic envoy of the War King's Domain, Vatler could not possibly be expelled from Itogami Island due to the absurd reasons given by the terrorists.
"Duke Ardeal, thank you for your kindness, but I think you don't need to trouble yourself," Yukina replied in a cold voice.
"Indeed, if Yotsuba Mahiro were to intervene, their chances of victory would be extremely slim."
Vatler looked at Yotsuba Mahiro no sign of tension.
He was calmly eating the grapes that the maid fed him.
"You forgot one thing: we will capture the remnants of the Black Death Emperor Faction on behalf of our senior."
Yukina, with her strong sense of justice, could not tolerate his wanton destruction of the artificial island and his Yotsuba Mahiro into the mess.
"Yukina!"
Sayaka Kirasaka exclaimed in surprise.
The moment she brought up pickled Yukina, her composed and capable demeanor seemed to crumble.
Most importantly, she couldn't fathom why Yukina would clash with such a dangerous terrorist organization as the Black Death Emperor Faction!
The Itogami Island. What does it matter to them whether freaks like Vatler and Yotsuba Mahiro live or die?
"Please be quiet. As your senior monitoring them, it's only natural for you to make this judgment. Since the other party intends to kill the True Ancestor, you are likely in danger, and we cannot stand idly by."
Yukina emphasized in a curt tone.
Because of her rigid and inflexible personality, Yukina becomes stubborn once she makes up her mind.
"I don't think it's necessary to go to such lengths. Are you implying you want to exclude me? Why bother? It's just a mere remnant of the Holy Annihilation."
Yotsuba Mahiro has absolute confidence in his own abilities and treats Narakvera as a testing ground.
If Kojou Akatsuki could do it in the original story, how could he not do it?
Back then, when he fought against the Third True Ancestor, he did not use his full power, leaving some room for maneuver.
The main reason was that I didn't expect that woman to run so fast; she slipped away as soon as she realized something was wrong.
And most importantly, if he really can't handle this weird thing, he can just run away.
So there's really no need to be as nervous as Yukina.
However, it was still met with a righteous and firm refusal from this tiny watcher.
"No, Yotsuba Clan, have you forgotten about the incident with Priest Lotharingia? Do you think you can always be so lucky?! Please, Senior, don't create any more unnecessary trouble!"
Having spent so much time together, how could she not know Yotsuba Mahiro was thinking?
That's why she had to stop it!
That's a legacy of the Holy Annihilation!
"In that case, I'll take a look at the strength of the Lion King Agency's sword sorcerer for now."
Vatora slowly sipped his expensive champagne, a smile on his face, looking completely ready to watch the show.
Sayaka Kirasaka looked dejected; it seemed that Yukina's scolding of her to be quiet had dealt her a significant blow.
After the conversation ended, Yotsuba Mahiro left with Yukina without any regrets about the banquet, and even politely declined Vatler's offer of a maid.
Chapter 372 The Black Death Emperor Faction Willingly Sacrifice Themselves (5K)
The wardrobe contains fashionable clothes, various women's magazines, cosmetics, and a few cute dolls.
Asagi's room was no different from any other ordinary girl's room.
The only exception was the desk in the corner, which had a large screen and a cluster of rack-mounted computers standing tall.
Computers comparable to those in a small tech company or university research lab are arranged on the desk.
That scene resembled the room of a shut-in guy.
Although only a few people know that Asagi's specialty is computer programming, she is a genius girl.
She's a hacker, known in the IT world by the utterly domineering and shameful nickname "Electronic Empress."
Balancing personal interests and practical benefits, Asagi also accepts high-paying jobs from companies and enterprises on Itogami Island or from the Artificial Island Management Corporation.
That being said, Asagi wasn't in the mood for work today because she learned from Yuuma Sengakuji that Mahiro and a lower-grade student named Yukina Himeragi had attended some kind of party.
She originally intended to vent to Xiao Lun, but as soon as she launched her phone's messaging app, she suddenly discovered an email from an unknown sender.
The sender's email address is from Kanon Alchemical Industries.
Asagi had also taken on several work assignments from this company and knew that it belonged to a major firm in Itogami City.
Strangely, the content inside wasn't an email requesting work.
The message on it contained only one sentence:
