Chapter 318
Pent-Up Anger
"Good, Phase 1 is complete...! Let's move to the trailer!!"
Gae Bolg shouted cheerfully.
"Can't I just stop here?"
Penelope, who had been screaming nonstop until her soul left her body, asked in a trembling voice.
"You can drop out."
Еn̂ümа́
"Th, then...!"
"But how do you plan to get out of here?"

"Well, obviously....."
Penelope looked down at the floor.
On the floor, a mouse could be seen tied to a bush, having become nutrients.
That wasn't the only one.
Е̊ n um̈а̀
Everything stepping on the floor is dying in that same way.
"Uh, obviously....."
She raised her head and looked up at the sky.
In the sky, demons and dragon spawn, and dragon spawn were flying around.

Would that be all?
Enough demons were heading this way that even Penelope could clearly sense them.
Е̃ n̊ um а
Running away alone would only make death a matter of time.
She was no different from a mouse trapped in a jar of poison.
"I, I'll follow along....."
"Yeah, you should. That's the only way bringing you here will have been worth it."
Gae Bolg patted her shoulders bang-bang and laughed heartily.
Does she know that the reason Penelope joined here was purely for fun?

'Gae Bolg's plan.....'
Ferda recalled the three chosen for Gae Bolg's plan and asked her.
"Garnet and Jed?"
"They're scheduled to come after we breach. Before that, rats will be swarming in crawling."
Rats.
What rose in Ferda's mind was Valdemar.
Ẅ_е bn.оv̊ ӗ l Е́ n̆umа.
'Olivia.'
Knowing a hole opened in the wooden wall, he'll target that and come in.

They'll come disguised as Jed and Garnet, so being one beat slower than them can't be helped.
'What do I do if I run into him?'
No need to go far back; they were things that happened less than 10 minutes ago.
The one who ordered the signal flare to be fired was Valdemar's man.
Еňu m̊ а̃
Storeus's judgment fell in sync with that.
Storeus's spawn who even tried to confirm the kill.
Valdemar was in cahoots with Storeus, and only wishes for Ferda to die.
He had more than enough motive for that.

Olivia yearned for Ferda, and Valdemar tried to take Olivia.
'If that's the case, the whole successor business from the start.....'
W̃е̃ b nō v е̃l̊ Е n um̄а́
A cowardly deception, surely.
Whether one flutters at the offer or suspects it, it's certainly an offer that makes thoughts multiply.
'Did he have to have it even by acting that ugly.....?'
The anger in his heart boils up inside Ferda.
'Let's put a lid on it for now.'
In a situation like this, anger is only poison to Ferda.

He opened the side door of the trailer he'd brought hitched behind, and moved inside.
Inside were supplies prepared for Phase 2.
About 20 mannequins, an automobile, and Bunny Buddy.
And one man was aboard.
The man looked at Gae Bolg with a dazed face and asked.
"Huh, Mr. Gae Bolg, by any chance is something outside, huh, wha?! Regent-nim!?"
Е́_nǔ ṁ а.ĩḋ
The three people Gae Bolg had carefully selected.
Penelope and Garnet.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
And
'Malcolm.'
Malcolm of Pitch Hill.
He was packed inside the trailer along with a second automobile.
È_n ūm̄а̃. іd̊
Of course, it wasn't just him.
His steed Rocinante was waiting too.
Considering the rough driving, it wouldn't be strange if he puked his guts out, but he's strangely lively.
He looked at Ferda's face with a bewildered expression and asked.

"Um, is it over now? Can I go home...?"
"What are you saying, ajusshi? It's starting now! Run like your tail's on fire with that donkey guy!"
Е.n um̃_а̃. і̄ d̀
Pung!
The steed snorted roughly as if understanding those words.
Gae Bolg laughed kkeul-kkeul and got in the automobile.
Ferda took the back seat too.
As if it had been planned, a spot perfectly sized for Ferda's body remained.
The moment Gae Bolg started the engine, he stomped the pedal.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Buwaaaang!
The sound of a runaway engine.
Gae Bolg seemed to feel euphoria at that sound and shouted excitedly.
"Alright! Let's run, Bunny Buddy!! Ajusshi, do it according to plan too!!"
"Y, yes! Let's go, Rosi!"
The automobile smashed through the trailer door first and burst out.
Ŵе̄b ṅ оv́ ѐl̄ Ėn u m ӑ
Malcolm shouted in a confident voice and escaped following the open trailer.
"Wh, where on earth is this place!?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The bewildered scream couldn't keep up with the fast-moving car and faded away.
"What's the plan given to Malcolm?"
"Run in the opposite direction from me."
It was a very simple operation that even that fool Malcolm could understand.
Ӗnu̇ ma
Because it's simple, it's also the most worrying.
Can that bastard survive here?
Shortly after, from the trailer's rear that had smashed through the car's door, it surged forward with blue flames.
It activated the auxiliary power device while smashing the door.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Thus three movements moved in a dispersed manner.
The trailer moving straight along the road will soon crash into a wall.
Wě b n о̊ v̂e l̆ Ӗ nu̇m а
Not stopping at crashing into the wall, it ejects the packed supplies secondarily.
The ejected items are 20 mannequins.
'Echidna's work.'
Autonomous activity dolls that barely started to take shape after repeated optimization.
Complex movements only last 1 hour, but that's enough.
They look like human movements, and actually contain mana too, so at a glance you can't tell if they're really dolls.

At worst, they can deceive for 30 more minutes.
'After causing that confusion, they become bombs.'
Of course they can't compare to what was detonated to break the wooden wall, but they're still bombs with tremendous power.
They'll wipe out a few demons or killer trees.
'If that happens, the wood elves' settlement surrounding the World Tree.....'
Ferda shook his head.
Е ñǔ ṁ ӑ.і d̈
'Let's not think about it.'
It's war right now.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
If we don't take risks, everyone is in danger.
Outside the wooden wall, many allies have already died, and are scheduled to die.
Saving more survivors isn't my job.
"It's Regent Ferda!"
Ėn u m̊.а. ї d̆
"Capture him!"
The demons riding the trees were shouting that.
"How about you get off our car now? Since you got on, the plan keeps flipping around."
Gae Bolg sharpened his words.

He didn't like the tone that seemed to say 'you're in the way', but Ferda accepted it humbly.
It might actually be true.
Ê nǔ ḿӑ.i ḋ
'I must not become a stumbling block.'
Ferda found a suitable-looking tree and prepared to leap there.
"I wish you luck."
"I'll wish for you to break a leg!"
Ferda extended a shadow hand and climbed up the tree.
If he stepped on ground that had become Mesabosk's domain, he'd surely end up as nutrients without being able to move.

'The problem isn't just the ground.'
An alarm bell called survival instinct rang in his head.
Ferda reflexively raised a shadow, and from that direction something dug through the shadow wall.
It was an arrow.
A sniper shot flew silently from an unseen place.
'Wood elves.....'
E núm̊а_. і̄d̃
They won't be ordinary wood elves.
'They're dark elves now.'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Probably while making this World Tree their base, they continuously kidnapped wood elves and mass-produced them by turning them into demons.
If there are elite soldiers in the World Tree's depths and high elves are corrupted, corrupting them too wouldn't be a job.
Wood elves' mobility and sniping skills have high averages across all races.
Since those bastards became demons, those high averages would've risen even more.
Enů m а
'But the fact they don't come down from the trees.....'
They're in a cooperative relationship with Mesabosk, but it means it's not a power that discriminates against demons.
He needed certainty.
Ferda used a demon ambush-aiming-for-an-opening as a test subject.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
In reverse, aiming for his opening, he slammed his body to the floor with shadow.
The demon slammed to the floor tries to get up, but its movements turn into convulsions.
Е̌ n ům̀ а́. i d̈
"Geueueuk! Eureureuk!"
Kwaddeudeuk! Kkwadeuk!
It was bizarre beyond words.
Roots pierced from the back, rummaged through the innards, and burst out just like that.
'As expected.'
It means it's disadvantageous for them too.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'No, still I'm probably more disadvantaged.'
The opponent has lived in trees for over a hundred years, so thinking I can compete is laughable.
Should I have thickened my face more and stayed in Gae Bolg's car?
That was when he was thinking that.
From the sky, something transparent flew from behind Ferda's back and extended somewhere.
It was a stream of water.
W еb̄ n o vе̊ l E ńu m ã
It possessed penetrating power so strong it was hard to believe it was water that easily scatters and breaks.
Only one thing can control such a nature.

"You're Regent Ferda, aren't you?"
An old man with a dignified voice approached Ferda.
Wearing blue clothes, with dragon wings and tail, and blunt horns
His dignified appearance was unmistakably one of the Blue Eye's high officials.
Ŵ е b̌ ñ о v̊ е̌l̇ Е́ n̆ um̌ a
"I already know your situation. I don't know the details, but it seems a storm is trying to swallow you. Did you come here to escape that storm?"
"Yes. That's how it turned out."
"A bold escape operation."
The elder seemed to genuinely admire.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"We're in charge of the elves' rescue operation under Erica-nim's orders. We're proceeding secretly, but they say some rascal-like young lady and you barged in."
"Did we interfere?"
Е̂ ňu.m̀ а
"No, it was perfect timing. Our movements were about to be discovered too. Thanks to that lady diverting attention, we can rescue even one more."
Did Gae Bolg know even this fact?
She's not a prophet.
Just acting on a whim, a pumpkin that came trailing on the vine, so to speak.
"Where is the Tower Master now?"
"She went inside. By now, they've probably all gone in."

"What do you mean by all?"
"The Magic Association President and a high elf girl are together too."
She definitely said girl, but Ferda naturally thought of Rize.
"Thanks for the info."
"Don't mind it. For a low-rank like me to be of help, it's just joy."
"Low-rank?"
Ӗ n ū m а̄
Hearing that, Ferda scanned him up and down again.
No matter how he looked, he seemed to have lived longer than Erica and possessed both wisdom and magic.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Hey, beardy! Your seniors are running around like crazy, what are you doing there? Move right now!?"
"Yessir, I'm going!"
The low-rank old man hurrying off at the words of a girl who looks much younger.
He was old for a human, but for a dragon spawn, he was low-rank.
Е n̄ u mа̂
It's a truly subtle feeling.
They say don't judge people by appearance, but it seems it can't be helped.
The senior, an Iorga spawn, discovered Ferda and flinched in surprise.
By appearance, he looked like a similar age peer to Ferda.

"I wondered who he was chatting with, but it's the Regent-nim? Sorry, that brat acting all grown-up in front of the Regent-nim....."
".....Not at all."
Ёn ù m̌а .і́ḋ
"I'm Yuria, the Rescue Captain in charge of this wood elf rescue."
Yuria. A name he'd heard somewhere.
"You're the one who was supposed to come as Administrator."
"I'm grateful you remember this unworthy name. Originally I was to be dispatched to Ferda-nim's territory... but Chief Secretary Isabella-nim was so adamant about not yielding she seemed ready to kill me....."
Yuria shuddering.
Only those two would know what happened.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Anyway, I roughly know the situation. Storeus-nim is targeting Ferda-nim, right? Coming into the depths was an excellent choice."
"Can you help me get out of here?"
He asked just in case.
Yuria made a troubled face and apologized repeatedly.
"Please don't think I'm being too cold. If we cooperate now, not only the rescue operation but the Blue Eye will also be in danger."
"No. I didn't say it hoping for rescue either. If a burdensome result comes, I shouldn't throw a fit."
W eb̌ n о̆v е̌ l Еṅū m̊ӑ
Because that was only natural.
"Since you've come into the Eye of the Storm anyway, go even deeper. The Tower Master has already infiltrated inside, so staying by her side will be safe. Storeus can't carelessly touch the current Tower Master either."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Thanks for the advice."
"Rescue is impossible, but I'll escort you there."
Yuria Iorga stood by Ferda's side and protected him.
She was a skilled mage.
Е̊ n ǔm а̀
Shooting down blue birds, she grasped terrain and enemies first and flexibly deployed counter-magic, so their movements had no obstruction.
Judging by magic skill alone, she was someone Erica would cherish enough.
Thus piercing through the dense forest, Ferda reached the World Tree's entrance.
"I wish you luck, Regent-nim."

She bowed deeply and turned back.
The person who had to watch from the farthest away has now entered the deepest place.
Еn u_mа .і ḋ
"Truly fateful......"
It's like watching a tragic narrative that humanity's destiny is to dance on a god's palm.
Ferda entered inside while wearing a hollow laugh.
That he had to do something remained unchanged.
Upon entering the World Tree's entrance, a strong convergence of magical power toward Ferda was felt.
Ferda prepared to respond, and tried to preemptively attack toward that magical power.

"Regent-nim?"
It was Erica's party who had infiltrated first.
Erica withdrew her magic circle.
"Why is Regent-nim here?"
"Some business came up."
Unlike Yuria outside, they seemed not to know the circumstances.
Еǹüm̌ а̂
It must mean they focused only on the infiltration mission.
To not waste time on useless talk, he spoke the main point right away.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"So it seems I could lend a hand, how about it?"
"It's tougher than I thought, so having even one more hand is better."
For Erica, it was a welcoming atmosphere.
If an even tougher situation arises, it'll surely be Ferda's fault, but.....
W е̂ b n ӧ v́ e l _Е̌n̈u̇m̌ а_
Saying that now didn't look good.
"This is ridiculous."
Erdes let out a hollow laugh in a tone that seemed annoyed.
She was sharper than usual.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Since it's inside the World Tree, he thought that was why.
"Why aren't you answering properly? I'm asking what happened outside that you came in!"
W̄е̌b̃n о̇ v̇ e l̀ Еń üm̌ a
"....."
"Regent-nim?"
When Ferda couldn't answer easily, Erica seemed to notice something was off too.
At this rate, he'll be suspected as a Doppler.
With no choice, Ferda answered.
"Storeus is targeting me."

"Ferda-nim? Could you be mistaken about something?"
"I'm sure. Even spawns are aiming for my life."
"Why would they do that...? Is there something that comes to mind?"
Things that come to mind.
"That's difficult to tell you. Since nothing's clear yet—."
"Don't lie."
Ẇ е̇b ñ óv́е l̈ Èn̈ú m̊а̀
That coldly spoken voice was Erdes's.
"You know perfectly well why they're targeting you, don't you?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Huh? What do you mean....."
Erdes deployed a high-power attack magic circle.
The problem was it wasn't aimed at Ferda.
It was aimed at Erica and Rize.
W еb n о.v e l̇ È n̈u ṁ ӑ
"Erdes—!!"
The words didn't continue to the end.
A huge beam of light erupted and engulfed Erica and Rize just like that.
Their bodies were pushed far away along with a hole torn in the World Tree's body.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Ferda got goosebumps all over.
Because her action of shooting an ally without hesitation surpassed bizarre.
Е ǹu̇ m̀ а.. і̀ ď
"No need to worry. If it's Erica, she'd have easily blocked an attack of this level. She'll be pissed about this... but that's something I can explain when I go later."
Ferda knows this sensation.
It was an emotion he'd harbored in his body for decades, and since it was still with him, there was no way he wouldn't know.
"Ferda Valdrova. No, Evil Dragon Godwin."
Anger knotted with nowhere to release.
"Was it fun pretending to be human all this time?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She drew out that anger.
