New chapter.
I will then post a chapter of '' Tournament of power 2 '', and then a chapter of '' The best crew to find the One piece ! "
Drinking a bottle of alcohol, Ogre used his day off to patrol all over town. Having no escort following him, the man behaved more casually, while he didn't hesitate to laugh loudly. Crossing his path, several people recognized him and greeted him.
Returning their salute, Ogre showed a smile on his face, as he thought.
"Yes, I am like a king ! After all, I am the captain of the army! I am the man who imposes the law on this city! I decide who has the right to live and who should die! I am the god of this empire. "
" Captain Ogre. "
Recognizing this voice, the man turned and saw Sebas behind him.
" The butler? What are you doing here ? Is it your little princess who sends you shopping in town? HAHAHAHA. "
" I just wanted to ask you two questions. " Sebas told him. " First of all, I would like to know if Rubedo-sama will soon have his sergeant title. "
" Hum? Yeah! The commanders decided to give her that title and I should supervise her ! I can't wait to show him how to run the city my way. "
Suddenly licking his lips, he declared.
" I'm sure she will thank me for all the lessons I give her! Don't you agree, butler ? "
Remaining unmoved, Sebas suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Phew! Since Rubedo-sama can become a sergeant no matter what, I can kill you without worry."
"Sorry?"
Pointing an alley with his thumb, Sebas cried out.
"Follow me there."
Advancing towards him, Ogre roared.
'' And why would I follow you, asshole? You're nothing but a little butler who doesn't matter to me. "
"I have proof of your actions." Suddenly Sebas told him. " Many people are ready to testify against you."
"What?"
"Follow me." Sebas advised him, heading towards the alley. " We'll discuss."
Seeing him leave, Ogre suddenly found his smile again. Next, Sebas, he put his hand on his saber, while reveling in advance of the death of this old man. Yes. For some reason, he had always hated that butler. So he wasn't going to pray to him to kill him.
" Perfect ! I could kill him and then declare that he attacked me! Her poor little lady will then have legal problems and if she wants me to forgive her, she and her maid will have to become my toys. "
Entering the alley in this way, Ogre did not see two people who were following him.
" Damn it. " Cried Tatsumi. " To think I was about to talk to him! What does this old man want? Is he going to give him money to have Ogre hide a crime he committed ? "
For her part, Mare remained silent, while he had no trouble recognizing Sebas.
"Is this an idea from Galadriel-sama?"
"We'd better wait until they're done." Cried the elf.
"No way." Tatsumi retorted, rushing towards the alley. "If this old man killed someone, I will murder him along with Ogre."
So he went away, leaving Mare to curse his stupidity inwardly.
" At least Onee-san is going to be happy! Tatsumi is going to die tonight. "
"Hey, the old man." Cried Ogre, stopping. "It's okay, I think we can talk now."
Suddenly, Sebas turned to him, before asking him.
"This is the second question I wanted to ask you! For you, what is justice?"
"Justice…?"
Smiling lewdly, the man cried out.
"It's simple! Justice belongs to powerful men! In this city, justice is established by the law of the strongest! Either you are powerful and you command, or you are weak and you get killed or else, you give money to save your life ! This is justice! The days when the hero saves the poor citizens are long gone! Only power and money matter. "
"I see." Said Sebas. "Therefore, killing a vermin like you will only benefit this world! Anyway, I have permission from my lady to kill you."
"Your lady? Wait, is Rubedo sending you to kill me?"
"No! Just to teach you something, Rubedo-san would have no trouble killing you! However, there is a person above her, who gives us orders! Galadriel-sama."
"Gala… what? Who is this woman? Immediately give me the place where she is, so that I kill her."
"Not worth it! In a minute, you'll be in hell."
"You little…"
"Ga… Galadriel-san?"
Startled, the two men turned to Tatsumi, who had just appeared in the alley. Staring at Sebas with wide eyes, he asked.
"Are you a person working with Galadriel-san? That is true?"
"Who are you?" Ogre roared! Get out before I kill you!
Arriving in turn, Mare moved to Tatsumi. Then, staring at Sebas, the young elf wanted to know.
"What are you doing here, Sebas-san? Weren't you responsible for ensuring Rubedo-san's safety? Did Galadriel-sama send you?"
"Yes! I am in charge of killing this man! What about you, Mare?"
"Same thing."
"Wh… What?" Tatsumi wondered, looking at the two companions. "Wait! Do you both work for Galadriel-san?"
"It's Galadriel-sama for you." The two men cried, staring at the boy.
Not understanding the discussion, Ogre was only interested in Mare. For him, if this fragile-looking young girl knew the location of this famous Galadriel, he no longer needed Sebas alive. Therefore, drawing his sword, he ends up running towards the butler.
"DIE, asshole."
"Hmm?" The man wondered, turning to him.
The blow Ogre gave him was quick and powerful, hitting him right in the back of the neck. Added to this, the saber Ogre owned was as sharp as a razor blade. No one could survive it.
However, it was when he opened his eyes wide, and felt a drop of sweat run down his forehead, that the captain saw Sebas, still standing, not having the slightest injury. The skin of the man, similar to titan, had stopped the saber without the least concern.
"But how…?"
"Ouch, it hurts." Sebas said ironically, turning to him.
Then rocking his neck from side to side, the butler cried out.
"Level… 30! Not bad at all for a human! However, I am not here to take care of your power level! If I came to kill you, it's because of your poor morals! Selfish people like you don't deserve to exist. "
"Who sent you?" Ogre roared. "Yet does that Galadriel-bitch want me…?"
Like a revolver bullet, Sebas's fist raced past Ogre's face, and punched a hole in the wall just behind the man.
"Never insult, my lady."
Feeling his legs shake, Ogre stepped aside to move away from this man who seemed to be becoming a real demon.
"Damn it, but who are you in the end? Why do you want me dead? Wait, I know! It's because of those guys I got executed, right? It was their families who came to see you for you to kill me? Pitiful! Do you know who you are attacking? Killing me is like declaring war on the empire. "
Recovering his confident smile, Ogre roared.
"You, Rubedo and even your Galadriel… none of you will be able to survive against the empire! But I'm ready to make you an offer, the butler! Your name is Sebas, isn't it?"
Holding out his hand, he cried.
"Become my subordinate! If you follow me, I promise you a life filled with rich and women."
"Sorry, but nothing you offer me can match the life I have in Nazarick." Sebas assured. "And know one thing, no matter what, I would rather become Galadriel-sama's slave, rather than the right hand of a rottenness like you."
Then turning to Mare, Sebas wanted to know.
"Mare, are you here to kill him too?"
"Yes! Night Raid instructed me to kill him! But Tatsumi seems to want to do it on his own."
"Tatsumi?" The man repeated, looking at the boy. "Are you the human Narberal keeps saying she would kill?"
"What did she say about me?" The boy roared.
"Night Raid?" Ogre repeated. "Are you from Night Raid? Everything is explained in this case! Tsss, you are just a bunch of idiots! No matter what you do, your little rebellion will get you nothing at all! Do you want to kill me? Very good, but that won't change the situation in this town! And do you know why? Because the empire is already rotten to the core! But if I disappear, someone above me will replace me with someone with the same mentality as me! You will never be able to win. "
"Night Raid may not be able to win." Sebas affirmed. "But Nazarck will have no problem killing you."
"Nazarick? What is Nazarick?" Wanted to know Ogre.
"Not matter." Sebas said, closing his fists. "It's time to end you."
"No." Someone cried.
Advancing to Ogre, Tatsumi cried out.
"I'm still just a recruit at Night Raid! And even though Aura and Mare came after me, I know for a fact that I am the weakest."
Unsheathing his sword, he cried.
"I'm going to fight him."
Looking at him with a slightly surprised eye, Sebas finally asks.
"Mare! Does he have a chance to defeat him?"
"He can, but it will be very complicated."
"In that case, young man, I would ask you to…"
"Please." Cried Tatsumi. "I want to repay my debt to Galadriel-sa… ma."
"Hmm?"
"Yes! At one point I thought I had saved his life, but I was wrong! In the end, I discovered her strength the moment she saved me! I have a debt to her."
Staring at Ogre, he cried.
"I don't know how badly this monster caused him, but if Galadriel-sama wants him dead, I want to grant his wish! Anyway, I refuse that men like him decide who has the right to live or die."
Continuing to stare at him without saying anything, Sebas finally recovered perfectly straight, while seeming to display a curious and amused face.
"Very well! I'll let you do it, young man! And I'll even declare some rules."
"What?" Tatsumi and Ogre were surprised.
"It will be a fight to the death." Sebas announced. "The rules are simple! Each of you has the right to use a sword! The winner of this fight will have the right to live."
Staring at Ogre, he cried.
"Yes, I will let you go if you win."
"Why?" Wanted to know Ogre, trying to guess the trap.
Looking at Tatsumi, Sebas asserted.
"If Galadriel-sama retained the name of this boy, it is because he must have a lot of potential! Therefore, I believe in the judgment of my lady and I am convinced that he will win this fight."
"Is… Is it true?" Tatsumi wondered.
Sneering, meanwhile, Ogre picked up his sword as he shouted.
"Perfect! I accept the challenge! Come on, midge, I…"
Blocking Tatsumi's sword in extremis, he gritted his teeth, while the boy had almost gutted it.
"What…?"
"Don't underestimate me." Tatsumi advised him.
"Fucker." Ogre roared, making a quick movement with his arm intended to behead Tatsumi.
Bending down in time, the boy felt the ogre blade cut off some of his hair. Then he aimed his own sword at the giant's foot. Seeing this, Ogre jumped up to avoid his attack and pretended to fall back on Tatsumi to crush him. Doing a somersault backwards to escape the trampling, Tatsumi collapsed onto a wooden crate before jumping towards Ogre.
Beginning then a rough chain of blows of swords making face two people ready to kill his adversary to survive.
For a normal human, the fight was swift and brutal. But for Mare and Sebas, it seemed to be going a bit in slow motion.
"This boy has strength in him." Sebas affirmed, while having a hand under his chin. "Nevertheless, his attacks are very sloppy! His sword style is to be reworked! And above all, his sword has no value."
"This is the only person in Night Raid who doesn't have a teigus." Mare declared. "He is also very arrogant and stupid! What do you think Galadriel-sama wants to do with him?"
"At least, it's good news that he's the weakest in Night Raid! This therefore means that there are many humans with a good level! And then, Tatsumi's power may not lie in her strength, but in her will."
"Hmm?"
Seeing Tatsumi blocking Ogre's sword, before pretending to slice his cheek, Sebas asserted.
"In life, it takes courage to face someone much more powerful than you."
Feeling the tip of Tatsumi's blade brush his arm, Ogre groaned, as he failed to hit the boy.
"Little vermin! Why can't I kill you?"
"You may be a captain, but the fact remains that you spent a lot of time drinking and ignored your training." Cried Tatsumi. "Because of this, your movements are much slower than when your power was at its peak! Captain Ogre, once you received your bribes, you believed yourself untouchable and your arrogance got the better of your sanity! It is because of this that I would defeat you. "
"It's you who is too arrogant." Ogre roared, aiming his sword at him.
Remaining calm, Tatsumi let him run towards him, before slashing his sword horizontally. He then struck with all his might and slammed Ogre's sword. Eyes wide open, the man was terrified to see his weapon cut in half, before two furrows appeared on his forearms. Blood immediately flowed from his wounds and the man cried out in pain.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Still, not having much time to feel sorry for himself, Ogre felt a figure pass behind him, while punching him in the abdomen.
"It's finish." Tatsumi asserted, after disemboweling him with his sword.
Freezing, Ogre had his mouth wide open, from which blood was flowing. Then, finally, he collapsed to the ground.
" I won? " Tatsumi wondered. " Did I really win? "
"Like what, Galadriel-sama is never wrong." Sebas affirmed. "Just looking at him, she knows what human has the potential to serve her."
For his part, eventually coming back to them, Tatsumi sheathed his sword, while feeling proud of having defeated someone like Ogre.
" Finally! I finally feel like a real member of Night Raid. "
However, behind him, Ogre's body rose. Despite his wound and the gallons of blood coming out of his body, the man was still alive, as his rage managed to make him move. No longer having his sword, he rummaged in the back of his belt, to pull out a revolver.
"You're a dead man, kid! I would never let you defeat me! I am Captain Ogre."
Suddenly banging her staff against the ground, Mare conjured up various plants which clustered around the man's body.
"That…? What is that?"
"ULTIGAIA." Cried Mare. "My teigu."
"Your what?" Tatsumi and Ogre were surprised.
Hugging around Ogre's body like snakes, the vines-like plants began to choke him.
"Let go of me! Let me go." Ogre yelled, vainly trying to break free.
"You didn't respect the rules of this fight." Sebas affirmed. "We said a sword fight! Since you don't follow the rules, I hope you understand your sentence."
"Die!" Ogre roared, firing several times at Sebas.
Standing still, the man took all the bullets, which did nothing but tingle him slightly.
"It's useless."
"Im… Impossible."
"Mare! Finish it."
"Okay." The elf assured, tapping the ground with his staff.
Immediately the pressure from the plants around Ogre grew even more powerful to the point where he felt his bones were cracking. Then, blood started to come out of his eyes, as his organs were crushed. Then, like a geyser, blood rushed out of his mouth, before his body collapsed to the ground.
Ogre was dead.
Indifferent to this, Mare looked rather disturbed when she heard Tatsumi cry out.
"Wait, do you have a teigu? Why didn't you say it?"
"I didn't need it."
"What? You laugh? Also, do you know Galadriel-sama? Where did you meet him? Are you going to fight Jaldabaoth too?"
Then looking at the butler, Tatsumi wanted to know.
"Do you know where Galadriel is?"
Heaving a simple sigh, Sebas left before shouting.
"Mare, I'll let you answer his questions."
"What?"
Smiling, while blushing, Shalltear was the happiest girl in the world. Sitting on Galadriel's lap, she felt the demon's hand caress her head. Equally happy, the Empress looked with interest at the two objects which were on her desk.
"So, here are the teigus of the kingdom of the northern tribes."
"Indeed, Galadriel-sama." Demiurge assured, being in front of her. "Not only do they belong to you, but the rest of the world believes Jaldabaoth has them."
"Excellent work."
Then looking at the four people in his office, Galadriel cried out.
"Demiurge! Shalltear! Solution! Entoma! Thank you for your hard work! I am really happy to realize how much I can trust you."
"Come on, my lady, you are bothering me." Demiurge asserted, bending down in front of her. "We just followed your orders."
"Absolutely." Shalltear assured! Besides, it wasn't as if this mission was complicated!
"You find? Demiurge, for you, your opponents were weak?"
" To tell you the truth, my lady! There was no difference in power between the humans of this realm and those of the old world ! The only ones that stood out were just the two teigus users! However, even Night Raid would have had no trouble taking them down. "
Thinking back to the two men, Solution began to growl.
" It was just fools. "
" I wanted to crush their heads. " Entoma said.
" Hum? What has he done to make you angry ? "
" They insulted you, Nazarick and you. " Shalltear taught her, badly hiding his anger. " They dared to laugh at your name and say that a woman like you doesn't deserve to be Empress! I immediately killed one of them. "
" And the second ? " Wanted to know Galadriel.
" Despite the fact of wanting to make him disappear from this world, I made the decision to spare him! Demiurge taught him! Since he is a teigu user, I wish I could dissect him and do some other experiments to understand why teigus only work on a few people! But, if you wish, I can deliver this rascal to you so that you can decide on his punishment yourself. "
" No, Demiurge ! You did very well ! I leave it between your care. "
Then, pulling Shalltear off her knees, she asked the quartet to line up in front of her desk.
" You all ! For your great work, I wish to reward you! So don't hesitate to tell me what you want so that I can thank you! Demiurge, what do you want ? "
" For my part, your thanks are the best reward. " Affirmed the demon. " But, if I can abuse your kindness, I would like to take some territory. "
" A territory ? "
" Yes ! Since you allowed me to do as I see fit with the soldiers who fought against us and which I was able to teleport to the prisons of Nazarick, I plan to recreate new farms in this world! Therefore, I would like to own a territory that I could, if possible, choose myself. "
Having already had the misfortune of going to one of Demiurge's 'farms', Galadriel was really not very happy to know that he wanted to do this kind of practice again. Nonetheless, finding it unfair to prevent him from getting the only reward he could ask for, Galadriel finally cries out.
"Allowed! You can ask Albedo to help you find this territory when she returns."
"Thank you."
"Shalltear! What do you want?"
"Galadriel-sama, if the news is true, I've heard that humans are now staying in Nazarick's sixth basement."
Parting her mouth to show her fangs, the vampire asked.
"Can I go there to practice a little manhunt?"
Unable to stop sighing, dreading the request, Galadriel internally cursed the person who had given Shalltear this information.
"Sorry, Shalltear! But I will ask you to leave these humans alone! Each of them is now part of my army and I promised them my protection! I could never go back on my promise to them! Anyway, now that I've entrusted these people to him, I doubt Cocytus will let you approach them. "
Immediately, Galadriel saw Shalltear's face grow saddened. However, she already knew what to say to cheer her up.
'' But, if you really want to do this hunt, I've spotted some noble mansions that we need to get rid of. "
Flaunting a cruel smile, she wanted to know.
'' Don't you want us to take advantage of a night to go hunting together? "
Noting that it rhymed like a 'romantic' date, Shalltear instantly smiled again, as she cried out.
"I would be delighted, my lady."
"Me too! Solution, what do you want?"
"My lady, concerning my reward, it concerns the man that Demiurge-sama spared! I know that while he is still alive he will eventually die in the next few days that they follow! What I would like is for you to resuscitate him. "
"Sorry?" Galadriel wondered.
"I know this may seem ridiculous to you, my lady! But I would like to make him suffer." Assured Solution. "For me, his companion died far too quickly! So I want to fall back on him and make him regret every word he dared to say about you."
Immediately, Solution's mouth put on a hateful grimace, completely contrary to the smile she used to show. Reflecting on the price of this award, Galadriel finally declared.
"Yes! I don't see why I would deny you this! After all, you have to make the dumbest humans understand that you should never insult the future empress of this planet! Demiurge, as soon as this man is dead, I want you to tell me. "
"Of course, my lady."
"Perfect! And finally, I'm listening to Entoma."
"My lady, if this is possible, could I, for my part, ask you to be extremely lucky to be able to enjoy dinner with you?"
"A dinner with me?"
"Yes! Could I share your table, please?"
Smiling at the little maid, Galadriel assured her.
"It will be easy, Entoma."
"Thank you, my lady."
"So, you are alive."
"Of course I'm alive! And that's why I'm sitting in front of you."
Surprised, a lawyer tried to understand the situation. Two weeks ago, he learned of the death of a noble family made up of three people, as well as all of their guards. Yet, to his surprise, the young woman in front of him had just declared that she was a survivor of this massacre caused by Night Raid. And the worst part was that she looked exactly like the daughter of this deceased family.
" I'm Aria. " Cried the latter. " During the Night Raid attack, I was forced to flee and had to leave the capital for a few days! It was only today that I came back to town and found out about my parents' death! Therefore, as the heir to the latter, I would like to recover my house, as well as all the rest of the fortune that is due to me. "
Staring at Aria, the lawyer seemed unhappy with the news. Indeed, upon the death of a noble family, their wealth is automatically given to the state. Giving them is extremely simple, but taking the wealth back from them is very complicated. Truth be told, a man like him puts himself at great risk by demanding the return of the fortune of Aria's family. Staring at the young woman, the lawyer didn't find her really worrying. Then, looking up, he stared at the beautiful dark haired woman, who was standing behind Aria.
The lawyer didn't know who she was. Nevertheless, thinking that she was just Aria's maid, the lawyer decided to take advantage of the situation.
" Miss Aria, I understand your situation and I am sad for you to have heard of the death of your parents! I would like to help you, believe me! However, a case like this will take many months to come to a conclusion! To make a request, you must already be able to pay a fee for… "
The man fell silent when he saw Aria put a bag of gold on the table.
" Here is the money ! Then ? "
Staring at the wallet without really understanding where this money came from, the lawyer was able to regain his composure, finally exclaiming.
" Even with this money, you would need a good negotiator with you to help carry out all the necessary transactions in order to… "
" Albedo-sama here is here for that. " Aria told him, introducing him to the woman behind her.
" Indeed. " Approved the succubus, smiling at the man. "If any transactions need to be made I would love to have a discussion with the people responsible for this. "
Staring at Albedo with a nasty look, the lawyer finally exclaimed.
" Ladies, I admit that carrying out this kind of transaction will be very complicated for two young ladies like you! Unfortunately I shouted that we won't be able to come to a conclusion for a while. "
Then looking at the form on the table, he grabbed a tampon, before shouting.
" Case to be classified. "
However, before he could stamp the form, he felt Aria's hand grip his wrist.
" That … ? "
" I want my house. " Aria asserted.
" I tell you that… "
" I WANT MY HOUSE ! "
Immediately, the lawyer had the bad idea to meet Aria's gaze. He doesn't live on anger or hatred. No, he only saw fear in her eyes. Aria seemed to be scared to death. And because of that, she was ready to fight the lawyer and even kill him if it was necessary.
Then feeling himself shaking, the man looked up and felt a dark aura around Albedo, who continued to smile at him.
At that moment, he felt like death itself was standing in front of him.
" Uh ... I ... I think I can make an exception for you. "
Stepping out of the house, Aria couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. She had been so scared that she had almost urinated on herself. However, in the end, she managed to complete the first mission given to her by Galadriel. She would therefore avoid returning to the torture room.
" Thanks my God. "
" I see the luck is with you, Aria. " Albedo remarked.
Shivering, hearing the succubus, Aria sat up perfectly straight, while asserting.
" Albedo-sama, know that I intend to do everything to satisfy all the desires of Galadriel-sama. "
" Good ! That's a good news ! Also, Aria, I think it's time for you to learn something very important. "
Stopping smiling, Albedo brought up a disgusted face in front of Aria, as she roared.
" Galadriel-sama is a supreme being! She is therefore the most intelligent being! Suffice to say that his plans have no chance of failing! Do you understand where I'm coming from ? "
Fixing Aria's eyes, she declared.
" No matter the reason, if Galadriel's plan to take power among the nobles fails, it will be your fault. "
Then putting a hand on Aria's cheek, Albedo added.
" You are very lucky, Aria! Galadriel-sama has entrusted you to Neuronist, despite not being the fourth person in Nazarick to inflict the worst tortures. "
" Fo… Fourth? "
" Yes ! there is worse than her! In third position, there is Kyouhukou! In second position is Demiurge! And guess who's the worst person you have to piss off a plan from my lady ? "
" Y ... You? "
Smirking again, Albedo pinched her cheek hard enough that Aria thought she was going to rip it off.
" I see you're smart! Never forget it, pathetic human! Because if not, I'm sure you'll beg me on my knees to go back to Neuronist, rather than stay with me. "
