Chương 236: Interlude 4: “Darkness Laughing in the Capital”

A room in the Parliament House. The blond man was relaxing, sipping top-quality Yuuf. The Prime Minister entered in a panic to report. Although the injuries from the previous assault had already completely healed, his complexion could not hide his fear in front of the person who inflicted them.

"It seems... the Masked Group has been annihilated..." The Colosseum raid incident is still fresh in memory. This incident was thought to be related to the Masked Group, but no evidence was found. Several weeks have passed since then. Strangely enough, the activities of the Masked Group seemed to have stopped completely. So, when they conducted a comprehensive investigation of locations considered to be their bases—the result was annihilation.

"Hoh." The blond man chimed in without much interest. He looked as if he already knew such a thing. Just for form's sake, he urged him on.

"Who did it?"

"That is... According to the investigator's speculation. They suspect Yu Hoshimi might have done it all alone..." The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. During the Colosseum raid incident, it was said that he massacred the attackers alone with power like a fierce god. If that incident incurred his wrath, it is not impossible to guess.

"I suppose so. As expected, he brought me a wonderful souvenir." Though. He is only an opponent I can settle in an instant if I feel like it. The blond man muttered inwardly.

"Aren't you surprised?" Asked. The blond man took a sip of Yuuf, tasted it slowly, swallowed, and then nodded.

"I felt it. A reasonably large magic power that generated in the Orir Great Forest about a few weeks ago and moved to Sacris. If converted to a magic value, it would be at least over one million."

"Over one million!?" Indeed more than ten times the measurement limit indicated by magic power measuring devices. It is not on the level of a human weapon. It is already a strategic weapon itself. The Prime Minister was flustered. It was impossible to believe. The blond man lifted the corner of his mouth in a smirk.

"This might finally be the real deal."

"That's absurd! There hasn't been a single human like that in history! Even the magic value of Dragons, which far surpass humans, is about 300, 000 for the strongest Black Dragon!" In contrast, the blond man had a composed expression.

"It's nothing to be surprised about. For us, this much is normal."

"What on earth... are you bastards..."

"Let's just call us'Those who transcend worlds'." The blond man laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Summon Yu Hoshimi here again. You can make up any reason for the summons, like questioning about the incident or whatever."

"I can do that, but... why again?"

"I became a little interested. I thought I'd give him a mere greeting."

"You, who always just watch from behind the scenes...?"

"What. It's just a whim. Now go." The blond man cleared the room. The Prime Minister left dejectedly with a face as if he had chewed a bitter bug. Left alone again, he poured the rest of the Yuuf into his stomach. Then, gazing in the direction of Sacris from the window, he sneered fearlessly.

"It's been a while since I met another FabL. I wonder what kind of guy he is. Entertain me as best you can."
