Chương 280: Chapter 263. Acting? Testing? Planning?

Testing? Planning?" Now that fills in most of everything."" God Of The Blackwood? What a strange God to pray to..."" I'm assuming an ancient Demon or Human... Or Beastman.... Or an ancient ancestor of the Dominant Races must've chosen the name... Regardless, it's the name he was given and it's the name of the thing we need to defeat. The question is how..." To Lady Diana's comment about the guy's name, I was more concerned with how to beat him finally.

While I have a few ideas, it'll be hard to test them since he's currently staring at me since I noticed he was up there. Which brings another question to my head." Hey, Anna, has he been looking at us in this Barrier the whole time I was out?" I asked to Anna because I wanted to confirm something." No. He's been looking around the town for the last hour or 2, since he went up there if I were to guess."" Thought so."

I look back up at him and see how his stare wasn't so much based on looking at the survivors, but actually looking at me. Can he tell? If so, I'll need to do some things rather quickly." What do you mean? Do you have an idea that you'd like to let us know about?" Count Gorse spoke in confusion as the words left my mouth. I guess it does seem kind of strange to think that I can understand what a God is thinking.

But with what was just said to me, I can more or less tell that he probably can sense something is different about me." I think he knows that we can hurt him now that I'm awake."" And how do you plan on doing that? I feel like I need to remind you about the 4 girls he currently has up there floating in his grasp." Lady Kina seemed to think that I was forgetting about the predicament that Princess Alice, Lady Cindy, Gasha and Tana were in.

But that couldn't be further from the truth, in fact, my plans all started with freeing them. The only question would be what the correct course of action would be. First things first. I need to know what we're working with. And to do that, I need to know something about Anna." Anna, is it possible for you to imbue the Nature Goddess's mana into other people's weapons? I know you didn't do it earlier with Sarah, but we thought she would be able to hold off Fracks regardless, now though...

We need every edge we can get."" Yes, I can, but it takes a lot of mana to do. When I'm the one holding the weapon or weapons, it's like a big flame having a stick stuck into it. The stick will catch fire without much effort."" And when the big flame, in this case, your hands, aren't touching the weapons, it's more like needing to prepare a torch or something to keep the flame lit. Which in turn means more or less, you'd be using a more complicated Spell than simply holding it yourself." Anna nodded to my answer.

In easier terms, it's the difference between being plugged into a wall socket or being battery powered. Sure, it's convenient while the battery is there, but the process to make the battery is complicated." Then that means we'll need to try something different. My Holy Flames might work if I light up their weapons..."" Wouldn't the flames eat up the wooden handles on most of the weapons? Or even heat up the metal parts to the point that their weapons melt?"

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement. Sarah interjected with basic problems I wasn't thinking of." True, but what about the mithril weapons? They have a higher melting point than steel or iron, right?"" But that only really accounts for the Count Families, no?" All 3 of us looked at the crowd who were weirdly silent and looking at us strangely." What?" I called to them to see what was causing their strange actions." It's just...

All 3 of you are going through so many options already and using words like "Goddess" and "Holy"... It's just strange to us." Count Sark answered my question in an awkward tone. This is strange to me, this situation to me... But with Count Sark's question... I might be able to use this as a test... No, I can use this! I began to talk very loudly." Well, I'd like to remind everyone of the situation that we're in.

A mad God is sitting in the sky trying to make his minions made of your Brothers and Sisters kill us all. Whether this sounds strange or something from a story book doesn't matter now. We need a gameplan to attack and defeat this guy. My best guess is to attack him with an attack from either Anna or me as we're the only ones that can hurt him apparently."" Why are you shouting?"

Count Sark was even more confused, but then I winked at him with the eye that my nose should be covering if you were to look at me from where that asshole was floating in the sky." BECAUSE I'M ANGRY!" /Woosh! / With a loud yell, I summoned a giant hammer made of Holy Flames. The Demons around us got scared, but everyone who knows me here, understood that I was just putting on a show. Now for the real reason for this, in the back of the hammer, I tried to create something unique.

If it works, it'll make a certain plan I thought up viable to use, here goes nothing. I begin to slam down my flame hammer into the ground in front of Count Sark. Then I activate the unique aspect of the weapon. /Boom! / /CRASH! / The smoke from the clashing of my flame hammer and the ground filled the area, some of the Demons were screaming at me, things like "crazy' or "traitor" flew out of a few mouths, but when the smoke cleared, I was calmly smiling.

I did everything so fast, I doubt he saw what I did, which is great for me. Now I just need to calm everyone down." Everyone! Silence!" Sarah yelled next to me." My Husband had simply lost his temper! He's not lost his mind! Aren't you all angry as well!? He's captured 3 Demon Girls and a Foreign Princess! He's twisted your Friends and Families into twisted mockeries of the Proud Demons they were! We're all angry! My Husband is just the first one to show it! He knows all 4 hostages well!

1 is even currently living with us as a Guest! He feels this just as deeply as any of us would!" Halfway through Sarah's speech, the Demons stopped freaking out, it seems also that observing that I didn't have a giant burning hammer in my hands made their relaxing an easier option for them. To help mend fences, I turned to Count Sark and began to speak." I apologize, Count Sark.

You see, I know you must be feeling this deeper than anyone, Tana Sark is up there currently, there's no way a father could be feeling less angry than me! I promise, WE! WILL! WIN!"" YAAEEHHH!" Looks like the Demons bought that speech. Thank God. I don't know what I'd do in this situation if they didn't. Once the yelling had died down, I offered my hand to Count Sark, he began to speak as he lifted his own hand up."

Believe me, Marquess Matthew, my rage has been never ending since I found out how my little girl was captured. Betrayed by my own Friend, to find someone I view as a Nephew being so badly beaten! Now, even a new Friend that I've made recently was left unconscious from attempting to save My Daughter... To say I'm infuriated is an understatement, you have no need to apologize to me. I just want you to help me destroy this kidnapper and save My Daughter!"" Grip! Shake!

* Count Sark took the hand that I had offered him and began to shake me. The fact that his entire hand completely engulfed my own hand was something that took quite a bit of acting to stay calm. Seriously, Demons are huge! As I was thinking this, Count Sark leaned into me and began to whisper into my ear." Also, judging by your face, I'm guessing whatever experiment you just attempted was a success. So again, I'll ask, Marquess Matthew, please help me save My Daughter."" I will. I promise." Release!

With my response, Count Sark released my hand, and I was a free man again. The smile I had on my face was from something relatively simple. I just found out that with Holy Flame Manipulation, I can make thrusters like with a rocket ship. Now that I know that it works, it makes one of the first of my ideas about how to save the hostages very feasible. I turn to Sarah and Anna and beckon them to come near me so they can hear what I'm planning. In a similar manner, I beckon to Count Sark and the other Counts.

Now with everyone gathered, I begin to go over my plans to save everyone. I can't wait to see the look on that bastard's face when it all comes crashing down!
