The Extra Prince Sets Out To Conquer The World

Chapter 196 - The Scammer, the Saint, and the Scammer Saint (6)



“Baaaa~!”

The Rockslide Sheep entered the Crown Constellation Zone, smashing open the gate while loudly crying out.

“My lord! It seems the sheep won’t be able to maintain its form for long!”

As Abassael shouted, the Rockslide Sheep’s body was gradually fading.

It was inevitable as the fakes realized by the ruins slowly lost their power as they left their respective zones.

To use an analogy, it was like playing a video with the codec changing for each zone.

If it disappeared like this, we wouldn’t even obtain the magic crystal.

The reason it could move even after leaving the zone was thanks to using the magic power of its magic crystal.

“It’s fine. Thanks to it, we arrived well at our destination. Well done. Let’s endure a little longer, Bus No. 4.”

“Baaaa~!”

When I patted the Rockslide Sheep’s head, the sheep cried out as if feeling good. Looking at it, it was quite cute.

It was a shame there was no way to take it and raise it.

“Keuk!”

“Ack!”

However, some members of the Izel expedition who couldn’t withstand that cry collapsed while vomiting blood.

How can they live on handouts with such weak bodies?

Fortunately, as the Rockslide Sheep’s power had diminished, and no one seemed to have died.

I kept sitting on top of the Rockslide Sheep while the Sword Demon and my party members got off the sheep.

“Oh my~! We meet again like this. Have you all been well?”

At my nonchalant greeting, Amelia and the priests attending to her looked at me as if dumbfounded.

“You…!”

Amelia tried to say something at my greeting, but Sword Fairy Nayuta stepped forward first.

“Hahahaha! We meet again like this, boy.”

“We meet again, Ms. Nayuta.”

“When I heard from the Saint of the Sea Denomination, I wondered if it might be, but as expected, it was you, boy. Quite the mischievous one.”

At Nayuta’s greeting, Amelia and Rotulus’ expressions became subtle. It seemed they didn’t know I was acquainted with her.

Nayuta’s gaze, after greeting me, immediately turned to Anastasia.

“It’s been a while, Anastasia.”

“…It has been a while. Nayuta.”

Nayuta, looking at Anastasia with worried eyes, let out a deep sigh.

“I see you’ve been devouring magic swords left and right again while I haven’t seen you. You selfish b*tch.”

“I apologize for causing you worry.”

At Anastasia’s apology, Nayuta growled.

“If you know you’re causing worry, then don’t do that bullsht! You fcking b*tch!”

“If I don’t go to hell, who will?”

“Stop talking nonsense and draw your sword. I’ll cut off your limbs and lock you up in a room until you become obedient.”

Nayuta, feeling deeply pissed off, drew her sword, and Anastasia also drew her cherished sword.

In the critical situation, I clapped my hands to draw the attention of the two.

“I understand your deep care for each other.”

“Deep care my *ss!”

“…That’s not an appropriate expression, boy.”

I continued what I had to say, neatly ignoring the two’s objections.

“But now is not the time for that. I think it would be good to join forces for a bit.”

At my words, Anastasia silently agreed, and Nayuta frowned.

“What bullsh*t are you-“

“Awoooo!”

The howl of a dog resounded, and Fenrir, the shepherd dog of the Shepherd Constellation Zone, descended.

“Oh my~! That persistent fellow keeps following us. At this rate, even civilians outside the labyrinth will be harmed, so let’s deal with it together first and then think.”

Don’t they say joy is doubled when shared, and hardship is halved when shared?

So everyone here should share my hardship together.

You don’t want to? If you don’t like it, try surviving on your own.

“Grrrrr!”

Fenrir, who had its cherished item stolen, emanated murderous intent as if it would tear everything apart.

Half of the weak members of the Izel expedition fainted from the murderous intent.

Oh my, even I, who am weak, can withstand this murderous intent, but they can’t. Shouldn’t they retire?

Rotulus drew his sword and exclaimed in shock.

“What is that monster?!”

Not only him, but everyone encountering Fenrir for the first time was terrified.

“Do such monsters also live in this labyrinth?!”

I moved the Rockslide Sheep behind the shocked Rotulus and shouted.

“Come on! Let’s quickly defeat it! Ms. Anastasia! Please aim for the 5th rib on the left side while continuously restraining it and moving around! Ms. Nayuta, please restrain it from behind! Conserve your strength!”

Sensing that we needed to join forces to capture it without major damage, Nayuta quickly moved at my instructions.

As the two moved, I immediately gave the next instructions.

“Mercenary King, take the front! Sir, draw its attention from the right!”

“Tch! Fine!”

Dailhorg clicked his tongue but moved to the right while launching sword energy at Fenrir.

“What?! Why me, uwaah!”

On the other hand, Rotulus, who tried to argue at my sudden instructions, was surprised by Fenrir suddenly charging and swung his sword wrapped in strong energy.

Clang!

Even with a sword strike powerful enough to collapse mountains, only light scratches were left on Fenrir’s tenacious hide.

Fenrir’s target was not Rotulus but me riding the Rockslide Sheep, but Fenrir’s teeth were too threatening to grasp the situation.

“You damn dog!”

Whenever Rotulus moved to avoid Fenrir’s gaze while fighting with all his might to survive, I moved behind him and attracted its attention with the sound of the flute. Where are you trying to escape to?

“Combat priests! Give blessings to the Mercenary King with all your might! Holy knights, back up the Mercenary King from behind and protect him with barriers! If the Mercenary King at the front collapses, everyone will be swept away!”

Crash-!

Fenrir exhaled a storm-like breath from its mouth, targeting Rotulus, or more precisely, me.

As Rotulus was brutally attacked, the priests and holy knights had no choice but to move as I said to protect Rotulus.

Thanks to that, I was also protected by the holy knights’ barriers.

Despite the sudden instructions, they seemed to have grasped that it would be dangerous if they didn’t follow without floundering.

Their orderly movements were indeed befitting the elites of the Sea Domination.

“Uwoooaahh!!”

When the breath was blocked by the holy knights’ barriers, the Mercenary King, strengthened with all sorts of buffs, jumped up with all his might and swung down a sword energy measuring over a dozen meters.

It was too strong to have received the priests’ power.

Ah, I see. Amelia is assisting with divine power.

It was fortunate that even if offensive magic couldn’t be used as it was wide-area, supportive magic could be used as much as desired.

Fenrir tried to step back, but Nayuta strongly slashed its hind leg with sword energy to prevent it from retreating.

Fenrir, whose hind leg was cut by Nayuta’s sword energy and suffered a large wound, changed direction to the right where Dailhorg, the weakest among the four transcendents surrounding it, was to avoid Rotulus’ sword energy.

Still, it didn’t take its eyes off me riding the sheep.

Like a smart doggy, it seemed to know that I was the leader of the thieves who stole the bells.

Persistent bastard.

“‘Jay,’ ‘El’! Aim only for the legs to the point you think is persistent! ‘Pret,’ help Sir and restrain the right side!”

I called the pseudonyms of Jade, Abassael, and Precia and gave instructions.

It would be troublesome if Fenrir ran away.

I attached Precia as support on the right side where Dailhorg was restraining alone, which was more vulnerable than the left where Rotulus was receiving assistance from the priests and holy knights.

“Understood!”

Jade froze Fenrir’s calves to stop its movement, and Abassael burned its thighs to inflict wounds.

While the three additionally jumped in to face Fenrir, Silua’s dolls moved the fainted and injured people to the corner of the zone, and Sophia healed them.

“Mr. Delevhem! Do you have any ropes or such?”

Delevhem, wiping the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, took out a rope from his bag at my question.

“I do!”

“Take out as much as you have and give them to the holy knights! Holy knights, strengthen the ropes with divine power and seal that damn dog’s movements! Anyone with free hands, shoot arrows or something!”

While the Izel expedition made loops on sturdy ropes and handed them to the holy knights, the remaining personnel and Silua’s dolls shot arrows imbued with magic power to attack Fenrir.

Silua’s skills had improved by leaps and bounds before I knew it, and the power imbued in the arrows was no ordinary matter.

Was it thanks to researching the magic power blood path of Donovan, the 11th apostle of the Morning Star Church, who was a transcendent archer?

While the five transcendents and two great magicians engaged in a pincer attack from all directions to seal its movements and arrows were shot from here and there to pound its entire body, the holy knights threw the ropes blessed by the priests.

Their main target was the head.

“Done! It’s tied! Pull!”

“Grrrrr!”

The holy knights caught a few ropes on Fenrir’s head and pulled with all their might.

Amelia sprinkled blessings on the holy knights so they wouldn’t be dragged along.

Fenrir tried to bite and break the ropes with its teeth.

However, the attempt was in vain as the Mercenary King struck its forehead from the front with a sword wrapped in strong energy.

“Kwung!”

At that moment, Fenrir, whose forehead was deeply dented to the point its skull was visible, was seen drawing out magic power with all its might.

Is it a breath? No!

“It’s an omnidirectional magic wave! Everyone, prepare!”

“Awoooo!”

As soon as my warning ended, Fenrir emanated magic power and caused a magic wave.

I protected my party members with Navi’s power, and Amelia protected Rotulus, her subordinates, and the Izel expedition with divine power.

“Kuk!”

“Keuk!”

Even though they were protected by Amelia’s divine power, the Izel expedition and some priests were blown away, unable to withstand the magic wave, and crashed into statues or tumbled on the ground loudly.

“Cry out! Bus No. 4!”

“Baaaa~!”

The Rockslide Sheep cried out with all the magic power it had.

I used the power of the wind spirits to make the sound hit Fenrir directly without spreading.

Although it had become translucent like a ghost due to using all its power, thanks to that, Fenrir staggered as if its equilibrium organ had been hit.

“Mercenary King! Please strike one more time!”

“Do you think I’m employed by you?!”

Rotulus, despite being angry at my instructions, jumped up high once more and swung a dozen-meter-long sword energy.

“Holy knights! Pull to the right! Sir! Draw its attention as much as possible!”

The holy knights pulled the ropes to the right with all their might, slightly pulling Fenrir’s head, and Dailhorg launched sword energy with all his strength.

Even in the midst of the chaos, Fenrir was mindful of the right side.

While enduring the pain inflicted by Dailhorg, Fenrir gathered magic power towards its head to face the threatening sword energy of Rotulus.

It was a breath. Its situation judgment is outstanding.

If possible, I wanted to tame it, but it was a shame I didn’t know how to tame Fenrir.

Would the Monster King know?

At that moment when all of Fenrir’s attention was focused on the right side and Rotulus’ sword energy, I shouted.

“Now!”

At my shout, Anastasia, who had been restraining and launching small sword energies from the left, moved so fast that she left afterimages and thrust her sword at the 5th rib on the left side as I had initially instructed.

The sword energy, using the full power of one of the Ten Heavenly Swords, pierced through the hide and deeply penetrated.

“Kying! Kehek!”

“Uwaahh!”

Fenrir vomited blood along with its breath, and Rotulus, who received Fenrir’s last breath from the front, rolled on the ground covered in blood.

I assessed the current situation while giving a final pat to the disappearing Rockslide Sheep’s head.

Izel expedition. Only five, including the vice-leader, were standing, and the rest were unconscious with serious injuries. Even the five standing couldn’t avoid serious injuries.

Sea Church. Out of 24, 6 fainted, 13 exhausted, 2 seriously injured, and the rest were just a bit tired. Among the 2 seriously injured, Rotulus, who had just tumbled on the ground intensely, was included.

My party. 5 dolls with minor damage, 1 with major damage, Rockslide Sheep disappeared. In the meantime, the Rockslide Sheep I had grown fond of disappeared, so our damage was the most serious.

“Well, if we captured Fenrir to this extent, there’s almost no damage, I guess.”

It was quite fortunate.
