Chapter 134 Eldritch Odelina Wildenhall
"Ara ara ara, there really are people in this room; it's a good thing we prepared first," said one of the white-haired girls behind Eldritch.
"Their aura... evil... they are... enemies..." said another white girl.
"Hweee!!! Masteer! I don't like it this bright!" said the white-haired boy.
"Eldritch, I don't want to interfere with your problems anyway! I feel that they are very threatening, don't let them kidnap me!" said the other-worlder brought by Eldritch. She was the only one who called Eldritch by his name.
"Arara, how arrogant of you little girl; it's impossible for someone as ugly as you to be kidnapped by someone."
"Huh?! I'm an isekai girl! There must be many people who want me!"
Noctem Dolls were wary of the people. Standing before them was the company of the first prince, Eldritch Odelina Wildenhall, renowned as the strongest human to ever walk the land. The Noctem Dolls, who had previously exuded unwavering confidence in their own abilities and dealt with Rounds easily, found themselves inexplicably recoiling from Eldritch's presence. It was as if they recognized his superiority on a deep, instinctive level that left them feeling weak and vulnerable. Despite their training and experience, they were no match for the raw power emanating from the prince, and they knew it.
Eldritch came with five other people. Four of them were children, while the other was a woman with short black hair.
"Denia, thank you for giving me the way," Eldritch's voice was heavy and rough. A voice that could dominate others and make others feel inferior in front of him.
"All for the master!" said the little white-haired boy who ran over while hugging Eldritch's left leg. He was the first to enter the room. They don't know how, but he could enter without the Noctem Dolls noticing him.
Ivaylo looked at Eldritch carefully and then thought,
'Four adfeqtus reliqua, that's crazy... I don't know how to fight it either. With just one weapon, you can have two parallel minds. How about four or maybe five? Maybe the way he fights is much higher than we can imagine. Then there's no guarantee that he only has four. The armor is also quite conspicuous; it could also be the adfeqtus reliqua.
"Eldritch... you're finally home, even though I'm about to be killed by those people over there."
"As usual, you are looking for the most beautiful death. Too bad father, you're still needed now. At least for the next week," Eldritch replied.
"What are you planning to do? Are you finally interested in ruling this country?"
"Absolutely not, just think about it yourself."
Eldritch finally glanced at the Noctem Dolls, who were currently ready for battle.
"Norttish huh..." uttered Eldritch upon seeing Ivaylo.
"Nice to meet you, Prince Eldritch. My name is Ivaylo, I have come to kill the king."
"Ivaylo... you have so much mana."
'He's only interested in my mana?
"Yes, thanks to this body; what about you? Aren't you grateful to be born with such an extraordinary talent?"
Eldritch didn't answer him. He got closer to the king's altar and looked at it expressionlessly.
"If you want to kill the king, do it next week. I'll ignore everything that happens here, so leave."
Huh? Just like that?
That's how the Dolls thought. After revealing his figure to those who wanted to kill the king, Eldritch even intended to ignore them.
As if their existence was not a nuisance to him at all.
As if the existence of the king wasn't important to him either.
Eldritch was very cold and probably only moved according to what was in his head without thinking about the people around him.
Nobody knows what was on his mind right now, but it was clear that he had just considered the Noctem Dolls' no threat.
And the only one seething over this was,
Adam.
-Thrust
A chain quickly shot toward Eldritch's head. Eldritch shifted his head slightly, and now the chain was stuck behind Eldritch.
"Master! How dare you attack him!" shouted Denia, one of the children."
Before Denia could react with his power, Adam darted quickly toward Eldritch. He pulled himself up by his chains toward him.
"PERSERUS TANTRUM!" said Adam, shouting his god's blessing. With a confident grin, he stepped onto the battlefield to face his opponent. The distance between them closed rapidly as he charged forward, his fist cocked back and ready to strike. His hand glowed, and the glowing blow was aimed at Eldritch's unprotected head. But as soon as he caught a glimpse of Eldritch's face, a strange, scary feeling crept into his body.
-BAM
He smiled as he met a strong opponent but simultaneously felt a cold sweat as he faced the Eldritch.
"HAHA! HOW DOES IT FEEL! PRINCE?!" shouted Adam. Upon impact, he expected to feel the satisfying sensation of his knuckles connecting with flesh. But he was surprised that the effect of his punch only created smoke around him.
As soon as the smoke cleared, he was shocked again because the prince didn't look hurt at all. Even though Adam could feel his fist just hit his face, nothing happened to his face, as if Adam had never hit him.
Casually, Eldritch wiped his armor. Then said,
"That's enough, right? What happened just now was also an exception. Leave this city, and I'll let you guys at least live."
"!!!"
Adam tried to calm down, quickly jumping as far back as possible.
'Just before I hit him, some kind of barrier blocked my hit. It's the same feeling as when I hit that boy earlier. Could this be his ability?' Adam thought.
"How about it, Leader? Shall we retreat first? This place is too small to fight freely," Adam said.
"There's something I want to try." Ivaylo replied.
In the middle of Ivaylo's conversation with his members, Eldritch once again asked,
"How was it? I just came here, so I'm a little tired. If possible, I'd like you guys to decide quickly."
"Fufu... We're willing to go as long as we can take the king's body with us," Ivaylo replied.historical
"Sigh... It seems pointless talking to you guys."
Eldritch then approached the king and touched his crystal.
"Denia... You've deployed your mana in this room, right?"
"Yes master! I did it right before we entered here!"
"With this many people, we probably can't move too far. So just put us in a wider area."
"Yes, Master!"
The boy raised both hands.
"God Blessing!" Then he clapped.
-CLAP
The room shone brightly for an instant. Then surprisingly...
All of them were now outside the castle, more precisely at the front of the castle, where Adam was fighting with the Rounds.
"Teleport?!" said Adam
"Is it possible to move instantly like this?" asked Norman.
Clarissa replied, "N-no... Mana is indeed connected to each other, but moving humans to another place is a little impossible. L-Let's say it's like every little part of our body has to be moved simultaneously. And each part requires a lot of mana."
"What about Mary? Doesn't this work similarly to Mary's stomach?"
"Of course it's different you idiot!" shouted Mary.
While on the Eldritch side.
"Ugh.. I've never used to Denia's ability. Isekai is really a bad place for a girl like me."
"I am sorry big sis, but I cannot control my power over the weakling, so there will be a slight headache for someone like you."
"I feel underestimated."
Eldritch was holding the king's crystal and said to the king
"Since you are no longer in the room, you can no longer speak. Your words will not be able to fool me."
He picked him up and put him in the back, giving him to the boy who had moved everyone,
"Denia, please take care of him," Eldritch ordered.
"Yes, Master."
Eldritch approached the Noctem Dolls again.
"Now that we're outside, you may be able to use your full power, but so can I. And if you're defeated here, you'll be defeated. And if you are defeated here, there will be many soldiers coming to capture you. Are you still not thinking of retreating?"
Ivaylo, with a sly smile replied
"Of course, we'll retreat..."
After a slight pause, he continued
"But we'll take the king first."
-WHIP
Without realizing it, the crystal that contained the king's body was pulled towards the Noctem Dolls.
Eldritch was surprised by that, as well as Denia who was guarding the crystal. It turned out that Ralph had tied his armacar to the king's crystal.
Ralph's armacar was the Chameleos, a monster that could merge with its surroundings. And it wasn't something that could be realized.
"So you refuse to follow my orders." Eldritch, who had made a surprised face, calmed down instantly.
Then he continued
"You guys are powerful mana users, I may have no choice but to kill you."
"Howl, Revenite..."
"Yes, Master." Eldritch summoned one of his Adfeqtus reliqua. Howl. The boy's body behind him glowed, and then his body morphed into the silhouette of a weapon approaching Eldritch's hand.
The weapon was a large great sword that had a unique shape. There was a hole in the center, so the great sword looked like a sword split in two that was joined together.
Eldritch raised the sword high, then muttered
"Howl, Dai Abare"
The shoulder/guard part of the sword opened, changing into a wider shape. Light poured out of the hilt, and then the light shot into the sky, separating the clouds in the sky. And suddenly a huge thunder shot to his sword.
"Control Weather," uttered Eldritch.
