The Strongest Dull Prince’s Secret Battle for the Throne

Chapter 17: Black and White

The chains continue to tangle them.

That means the weakening curse will continue to get stronger.

After I caught them, I slowly rose to the sky. Right now they are even weaker than insects. The rest is just to dispose of them.

The strength of a vampire came from their enormous magic power. You guys may be long-lived but without your magic, your physical strength isnt that much different from humans. In other words, if I just seal your magic there would be nothing to be afraid of.

Hey!!?? Why are these chains chasing after me too!?

I was trying something cool but this woman has to ruin it.

Looking at her, it seems like the chains are really chasing after her. Perhaps it just performing its job to capture those who have hostility toward me.

Rather, why isnt she got caught yet? Is she really a human? The spell was activated when she was completely unguarded against me though.

Sorry about that. It seems like they were just trying to capture those who are hostile toward me.

When I stopped the chains with my eyes, Elna heavily breathing like she is out of breath and glares at me.

When I laugh at her, her face turned red.

You!! Why were you trying to capture your ally with the chains!?

The chains dont react to anyone who considers me an ally. You were just too hostile toward me. Moreover, you shouldnt have any trouble dealing with some chains cast by a guy like me right?

You little! You were holding a grudge from before right!? Theres a limit on how small-minded you can be alright! I was even worried about you when you were hit by that guy too!!

You were worried huh. The people around you must have their work cut out for them eh.

Elnas face is now completely red. It seems I cant describe her state as just being angry anymore.

It is fun to make fun of this kind of Elna but my first customers are waiting for me.

My apology. I was delayed by the tomboy hero over there. Where were we? Ah, theres no need to be afraid of a vampire that has their magic sealed was it?

YOU BASTARD!! DONT LOOK DOWN ON US!

UNTIE US! IF I CAN JUST TEAR THESE OFF I CAN SLAUGHTER SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN NO TIME!!

If you think you can take them off then please do it by all means. You wont be able to do it even if you spend your whole life though. Now then..its time to repent. Do you have anything left to say?

Saying that, I concentrate a huge amount of magic power on my hands.

It was to cast a magic different from what I have been using so far.

Looking at that, Sam and Dean start breaking into a cold sweat.

Wa, wait a minute! You dont have any grudge against us right! If you let us go we will be in your debt!

Grudge huhits not like there isnt one though.

The person that aimed his magic at Finne earlier was Dean. It is enough to kill them a thousand times over when I remember those anger.

The fact that he aimed his magic at her. The fact that he put her in danger. Even if Finne wasnt actually hurt, that alone deserves a punishment.

W, What did we ever do to you!? You are not here because of the guilds request right!? If you are going to kill us then it should be under the guilds order right!

Humans are complicated you see. You wont know where those grudges came from. Moreover, even if I am not on a guild request, I am still an adventurer. Theres no change in that fact wherever I am. It is my duty to protect the people of this continent from the monsters. With or without the request that is.

W, WE ARE NOT MONSTERS!

The guild designated you guys as monsters. Moreover, your action is no different from a monsters right. Hey, dont you have anything else to say? If you tell me the identity of the person who ordered you to do this then I might be able to stop that hero for you, you know?

As I speak to them, my magic power gradually increases.

No matter how you think about it, it is clear that the attack I am preparing is overkill. Those two must understand that they would certainly die if they are hit with this.

However, despite Sam and Deans fearful expression, they never talk.

Either they just tight lips or they that afraid. I cant imagine these two being affectionate or loyal toward someone. So it must be fear huh.

A mastermind that even an S-class bounty afraid of huh.

Just who is it?

Hurry up and spill it. If you dont I am going to kill you.

W, We are proud vampires! Dont think we will ever succumb to some humans!!

Is that so. Then lets end this. I already finished my preparation as well.

The person that was most surprised by those words was me.

The vampires may not have noticed it but if it is something that Elna has to prepare for then it is surely that.

E, Elna von Amsberg! ! Dont tell me, you are going to summon the holy sword! ?

What if I am?

My magic is enough for this! Are you intending to destroy the whole town!?

I will adjust the power so it will be fine. A certain someone restrained the enemies for me so I can carefully summon it after all.

O, Oi.

I am one of the Amsberg house. Destroying the empires enemies is my duty. I will never forgive them!

Elna raises her right hand to heaven.

Then.

Hear my voice and descend! The brilliant star sword! Now, the hero needs you!!

White light falls from heaven.

Elna grabbed it and with white sparkles turns it into a shining silver sword.

Five hundred years ago, the sword that the hero used to defeated the Demon King, Aurora. It is said to have been forged from a meteorite, the sword can cut all things in creation and does not allow any kind of evil.

Due to its tremendous power, it was sealed by the first generation of the Amsberg Hero House and can only be summoned by those with a talent for it.

In other words, to be able to summon this sword meant that person has the qualification to be a Hero.

Elna summoned this sword only at the age of twelve. This is the reason why people call her a prodigy.

! ?

As expected of the sword that defeated the Demon King, its presence alone is already ridiculous.

If used by someone who is at Elnas caliber, that person will be that invincible. It is the reason why the Amsberg house is being feared by other countries. Using this holy sword of the star, even an army can be annihilated in one strike. With that said, there were only a few cases in the past where the sword was summoned to combat the army though.

It is rarely summoned in the first place after all. The only one who uselessly summons it because she was simply irritated is probably Elna.

Now..prepare yourselves.

Good grief.I will let you have one then.

Hmph! They are my prey in the first place! It was me who gave one to you!

Well, lets leave it at that.

I take a step back and start chanting.

I havent chant anything so far but it is best to use a chant to maximize the power of the magic and ensure their destruction.

[[I am the usurperUsurpation is darker than the dept of underworldThe darkness is darker than the abyssThe darkness is deeper than the nightThe darkness of creationThe darkness of deathReturn all those born from darkness to where it from - INFINITY DARKNESS]]

A huge black sphere emerges above me.

As opposed to the blackness that swallows everything, the white light from Elnas holy sword stretches out to heaven.

Black and White. Darkness and Light.

The attacks with attributes that are never compatible. However, the consequence of those who got swallowed by it is the same.

We adjust the attack direction. It is easier to blow away the monsters at the same time. At that time, Leo is still in the middle of preparation to break through the monster horde.

As long as I can see, theres no one in that horde of monsters.

But to be sure, lets give them some warning.

If you are still in the middle of the horde, run away!

I cant guarantee you wont get caught up in this!

We both said our warning.

Perhaps they felt the danger, Leo and his troops immediately moved away from the monsters while the garrisons soldiers climb down the rampart and start fleeing.

Meanwhile, the monsters which are the target of the attack just blankly stare at the sky.

There are monsters that have been living in small groups without harming humans among them as well. But forgive me. Even if they were used, I cant overlook the fact that they attacked humans.

Just as they attack humans to protect their comrades, we have to fight to protect humans as well.

The only remorse inside my heart was that.

Theres no remorse toward the two in front of me.

Now.clench your teeth.

Its time to repent!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! ?

Uwaaaaaaaaaaa! ! ? ?

The black sphere swallows Dean along with the swarm of monsters.

The light from Elnas holy sword swallows Sam and continue to swallow the swarm of monsters as well.

As we were competing with each other, the attack erases everything and eventually, theres nothing left.

There is no cry of victory. When we take a look, the Emperor is tiredly looking at us. Perhaps he wants to say that we overdid it.

Well, its alright since the only one who will get scold is Elna.

Ah, thats right thats right.

Your Majesty! This time I only participated in this as an individual butI hope that you will refrain from neglecting the guild after this.

Fuh.I see. Thank you for your cooperation Silver.

With this, the guild can save face, they shouldnt pursue the empire for this matter either.

When I bow to the Emperor and prepare my transfer magic, Elna called out to me.

Silver.

What is it? Do you still have any complaints?

Yeah, theres a lot. But, I wont say it now. You saved us this time. Especially, thank you for saving Finne. That girl is..she is the friend of my childhood friend after all.

Is that childhood friend perhaps the dull prince?

Really you.you still call him like that after you saw what happened to the vampire who said it before huh? Take that back. My childhood friend is the best prince there is. I wont forgive anyone who makes fun of him to my face!

Elna turns her holy sword toward me.

Her eyes are serious.

She seems like she really wants to seriously fight an SS-rank adventurer to protect my name.

While smiling bitterly at such Elna, I correct myself.

My apology. If you said that much then it must really be rude to refer to him as the dull prince. However, it is a pity as well. Having a childhood friend like you must be tiring huh.

Wha!?

Well, I will have to excuse myself here.

Saying that, I teleported away before Elna could complain.

I arrived at the room where Sebas is waiting for me and fire up my languid body to take the robe and the mask off.

Thank you for your hard work. Please have some tea.

Thankssorry about that.

You look really tired.

Yeah.it is as expected

Transfer magic, healing barrier, cursed chain barrier, and that final attack magic. I used a considerable amount of magic power. Honestly, my magic power already close to its limit. The same goes for my physical strength.

Im tired..Im gonna go to sleep..

Please leave the rest to me.

After drinking a little tea, I began to doze off in my chair. I want to sleep in a bed but my body wont listen to me.

Looking at my state, Sebas whispers to me with a gentle voice.

Truly, thank you for your hard work. You were splendid, Arnold-sama.

Is that so.then I can rest without any punishment huh

It was a long time ago when Sebas last praised me like this.

With that in mind, I let go of my consciousness and fell into a comfortable sleep.
