I Was Reincarnated As The Older Brother Of A Villainess Destined to Die, So I Want To Change The Future By Raising My Younger Sister With My Own Hands. I Am The Strongest In The World, But My Little Sister Must Be The Cutest In The World - Volume 5 Chapter 2.4
With a sigh, I cut through their spells and the elves themselves, leaving them alive but heavily injured.
Without time to catch their breath, they lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, staining the area around them with red.
Their vigilance was in vain. With this level of ability, our covert operatives alone could easily handle them.
Well, I should find out how strong they are as operatives in Forest Country, so I’ll gather some information on that front.
I quickly collected the battered elves using “Phase Concealment Cover Texture.” With nothing left behind, I continued to watch the spot.
What remained there were not empty spaces, but two tiny figures, no larger than the palm of my hand – two spirits. One had green hair, and the other had brown hair; both of them were giving me sharp glares.
It didn’t take much thought to realize that these spirits were the ones the elves had contracted with. They had been hiding in the shadows of the elves’ bodies all along.
“Hey, you two spirits.”
“W-Wait,you can see us!?”
“T-This is insane!”
When I addressed them, the spirits reacted with shock and disbelief.
I didn’t want to bother with their reactions, so I casually ignored them and continued speaking.
“If you two spirits aren’t going to oppose me or my allies, I’m willing to let this situation slide. What will you do?”
The spirits responded with defiant attitudes. They flared up, as if saying, “Don’t underestimate human-like being!”
It was within my expectations, so I proceeded as planned. It wasn’t difficult. I simply released my mana without reservation. I now possessed an enormous amount of mana that exceeded even that of a divine apostle.
What would happen when mana supremacists like these spirits witnessed it? Even when I was weaker than I am now, Noma had gone crazy. Therefore, the reactions of the two spirits before me were no surprise.
“?We’re so sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy]”
After binding them with contract magic, as “Alternative World Baule de Tesoro” was released, the two spirits flew away in a frenzy. Given their state, it seemed unlikely I would ever see them again.
“Zex-sama, would you like some water?”
“Thank you, Shion.”
Suddenly, Shion appeared beside me and handed me a glass of water. I appreciated the gesture and took a sip.
As I finished drinking, Shion asked, “How did it go?”
“They were a disappointment. While they are skilled as operatives, their combat abilities were lacking. They relied too heavily on spirit magic and their intellect.”
“I see… What were their intentions?”
“We’ll find out during the interrogation. I’ll hand them over to the covert operatives later. Please inform Prince Weimlei of the First Kingdom about the situation. There will probably be a meeting soon.”
“Understood. I’ll take care of it immediately.”
Shion’s presence disappeared with a swift movement. She had truly become stronger.
“I should head back too.”
I had a lot to consider, but for now, I needed some rest. I opened a “Phase-Linked Gate” and returned to my mansion.
