Chapter 102 The North Cross Alliance

I coughed from the dust that flew all over as the explosion slowly cleared out Seems like I was barely on time. This could have taken me out if Kageyama didnt have the <Phantom> skill of the <Black Magic> tree to block this attack I should be more wary of things like suicide attacks in the future, theyre quite dangerous.

Once the dust settled down, I looked around for a bit and saw that it caused a vast amount of destruction, it maybe blew up a whole half of the mansion? It wasnt much of a problem because I wanted to kill him from the beginning, but what about the princess?

I turned around to look at her and, Im surprised youre unharmed. I told her. Did she also have a skill that allowed her to dodge the explosion? Though I dont think shed have anything that would be able to protect her from an attack as strong as this one, so its probably something else Nevermind that, lets focus on the other thing, Id like to hear more about that poetry the Marquis was reciting to you. I told her.

She glared at me, and then turned her head away. I suppose it cant be helped for now, though it was a bit disappointing that the Marquis not only seemed to not blame the princess, but also tried to establish some form of communication with her, this part of the plan was a complete failure.

Oh well, lets keep going. I told her and left the ruined mansion aiming for the next one.

******

(Princess Feeras PoV)

I wonder how many more should I kill The woman said. She was quite the unusual one. Even though she had such a gentle and kind expression when we first met, she was actually quite crazy. Even though she had such a strong affection towards her mother, she had no empathy towards anybody else I couldnt understand her.

What do you think, princess? How many more should die? She asked me I didnt reply. She didnt even seem to view people as anything more than toys. She asked this kind of horrible question without batting an eye, she is unforgiving, and she just creates this horrible opera of death just for the sake of pleasing some non-existent spectators I cant even pretend to be indifferent to the things she does.

I wonder how many Ive gotten rid of already. She said as she kicked the head of a Viscount from the second princes faction It really seemed like killing was something absolutely mundane for her. Her common sense was so out of place that I did not even comprehend how to judge her And to think that she already killed seven noble houses that were under my brothers rules Its unbelievable.

Hopefully this should have bought enough time for the Empire to recover, right? She said as she started dissecting the bodies of the soldiers she just killed, Whats wrong? She asked. I could no longer endure it, so I turned away and puked while she did her work Why is she so disrespectful to even the dead? Why can she treat it as something as mundane as tapping a desk? Why is she like this? I dont understand

Well, I guess Ill have to go back for now. Gotta go to school tomorrow after all. She suddenly said I was glad to hear it, it means todays hell is finally over I can hardly believe there is a school she can attend, but Ill just accept it even if it is a lie.

My only hope were the last words that Marquis Gawain told me, The bad witch will be thrown on the fire. Im sure he did something to help me, Ill pray that what he did succeeded And may he rest in peace.

Then, princess, lets go home- She started saying, but was interrupted by a mysterious person.

Are you the Genocider? He said Who was he? I never saw him before.

Who? And I dont like that name. She replied Just who is Genocider? Is it her?

Oh, me? Im Ricardo, from the North Cross Alliance. The man replied.

Never heard of it. The woman instantly told him.

Really? The guild is fairly large and famous though Well, thats alright. As they talked, lots of people with outfits similar to Ricardos started crawling out of the ruins all around us.

Thats quite a few people. What do you want of me? The woman asked him.

To recruit you. Were one of the largest Chaos guilds, so I think it would be a mutually beneficial deal for you to join us. He told her.

I was worried shed get even more firepower by getting those men as allies, but she instantly told him, Dont wanna, it would be a hassle. I was happily surprised to see this unexpected rejection. Gods know what would happen if she were to join a strong group of Chaos-aligned beings

Thats a pity Well, in that case, I guess I should tell you that were also bounty hunters. Since you dont want to join us, I suppose well have to PK you now. What did he just say? What was that word near the end? I couldnt quite get what he meant.

The woman seemed to understand though, and she smiled, Oh? If you wanted to play, you should have just said so from the start! And as she said that, she quickly and without hesitation beheaded him Why does she smile when she does this kind of thing? Why is she like this? Well then, princess, let us Oh my.

Something strange happened. As Rena turned around to speak to me, a sword pierced her belly Just what is happening here? I thought I beheaded you. The woman said as she turned her head around to look at the man that just stabbed her.

You dont know of it? Its an instant revival item. He replied while taking the sword out of her body He was smiling at first, but then, his expression turned to one of confusion.

Because even though she was just stabbed, Rena was laughing, Why are you laughing!? The man asked her. He seemed afraid.

Why else? Because I can play as much as I want now. She said without stopping her laugher.

Alright everyone, get ready! The guild leader wont go easy on us if we fail! One of the mans allies said, and everyone else in the surroundings seemed to be taking out weapons But there was no way shed be endangered by this kind of thing when even Marquis Gawains sacrifice didnt take her out. It was futile.
