[Vigo: Regaining Control of the Underground Facility]

• Vigo’s POV

Having succeeded in disposing of the pieces that were no longer needed and those who knew our objective, I return to the laboratory built in the basement of Gile’s mansion in the noble district.

“It shook… However, it’s lighter than expected. It seems that Frick and the others managed to prevent Genocider from blowing up the royal capital.” (Vigo)

It doesn’t matter to me whether the royal capital disappears or not.

The important thing is to have our few remaining compatriots, who still live in our world which has little time left, be safely relocated to this world.

I have come one step closer to being able to realize that goal after many years of taking the lives of countless people and doing inhuman deeds.

The magical device to create super human that was stored in Magic Research Institute has already been seized and sent away.

When the technical analysis of the magical device and the analysis of the information of the blood that gives the magic antibody to the human body, which was obtained from Frick, is complete, I would be able to fulfill our long standing desire, the relocation to other world project, and have my compatriots live in a new land.

“Vigo-sama, the lab has been evacuated and is ready to be blown up. Please move to the Abyss Hole underground facility through the transfer gate as soon as possible. I will take care of the rest.”

The young man in white protective clothing, the last one remaining in the laboratory, points to the transfer gate in the back of the laboratory.

He has the role of staying in this laboratory to the end, to press the detonation button and erase all the traces here, including the transfer gate.

“I see, I apologize for leaving this difficult role to you…” (Vigo)

“No, I feel grateful to you for giving me this wonderful mission. In hope that Vigo-sama can bring our compatriots to this land safely, I’ll gladly sacrifice myself!”

Considering the feelings of the young man who looks at me with clear eyes, I absolutely have to make sure our operation successful.

“The life you sacrifice. I won’t let it be in vain.” (Vigo)

The young man nods silently.

After patting the shoulder of the determined young man, I pass through the transfer gate that emits a pale light in the back of the room.

When I come out to the other side, the pale light of the transfer gate continues to light up for a while and disappears.

He seems to have completed his mission well.

Now, if Boris successfully defeats Frontier Count at the stage of succession to the throne, the requirements for good relocation destination should all be fulfilled.

“Vigo-sama, welcome back. 50 Abyss Walkers, 2 Genociders, 200 combatants, and 100 repair personnel have already gathered in this deepest part of Abyss Hole underground facility.”

The room is filled with my compatriots and Abyss Walkers that came from the transfer gates set up in various places.

“Good work. The knights of Frontier Count has withdrawn from this area, and there should be only a few adventurers in the upper-level facility. Occupy this facility and finish the repair of the equipment to open the dimensional gate as soon as possible. The time given to us is not much. Set about at once.” (Vigo)

“Yes, sir!”

My compatriots, dressed in white protective clothing, lead the Abyss Walkers and rush out the entrance of the room to the facility area.

Although the Abyss Hole facility was occupied by Frontier Count, only this innermost large room, which houses transfer gates, was built so that its door would only appear to those with a special permit.

Thanks to this, even though Frontier Count had thoroughly searched the facility, he hasn’t find this room yet.

After seeing off my compatriots who are heading for the recapture of the facility, the person who I have entrusted with the research on the mana antibody approaches me.

“Vigo-sama, the examination of the magical device and the research materials that was sent through the experimental dimension door is proceeding smoothly. It seems that we will be able to complete the technology derived from artificial human manufacturing device in the near future. And from the analysis of the blood sample, we came to the conclusion that as long as we extract mana antibodies from an artificial human and inject them to a compatriot that have no mana antibody, then they would be able to relocate without a problem.”

“Well done. If we adjust the way to open the dimensional gate and prevent it from opening too wide, though that would make many dimensional transfer, our compatriots shouldn’t turn into Abyss Walkers.” (Vigo)

“Yes, that’s why we’ve been experimenting with the bodies of our compatriots that have turned into Abyss Walkers and gathering data. Once the facility has been repaired, all we have to do is open it.”

“It sure has been so long…” (Vigo)

“Vigo-sama, it’s not over yet. It’s not like there’s no forces that would intervene, right?”

The person who I entrusted with the research of mana antibody was a part of the expedition team that first came to this world.

The strange deaths of the members of the expedition team, the tragedy that occurred when we first opened the dimensional gate, and the shady activities that followed, he knows everything.

“You’re right. I don’t think Frick and co who are supposed to be detained for the assassination of the king and the commander of the Royal Guard Knight Order will make it in time, but we have to keep an eye on their movement.” (Vigo)

“Yes. If they find out what we’re doing, they will surely come here.”

“We have to open the dimensional gate for the second time as soon as possible. I’ll also help without sleep and rest.” (Vigo)

“With Vigo-sama around, I’m sure the young ones will be even more motivated.”

At my old friend’s words, the face of the young compatriot who has just sacrificed himself surfaces in my mind.

I have to bear my own sin after everything is over.

My hands have been dyed with so much blood that I no longer have such thing as hesitation.

I will carry this through to the end so as not to waste this blood.

I take the remaining compatriots in the room and leave to regain control of the underground facility.
