Act 4-44: What a Foolish Question

―― Front of a tent in the plaza,【Death Metropolis of Flower】

Black mist enshrouded the deepest part of 【Death Metropolis of Flower】, located faraway. As a result, the exam ended in a hurry and the students were ordered to evacuate to the tower. Thus, the only one left to watch the situation in front of the plaza were apprehended members of vice headmaster faction, Inea, and her subordinates from headmaster faction, several hunters including Ralph Excel, and lastly, Rose and co.

Currently, they’re looking at the situation inside the black mist from the projection created by Asta, the monocle wearing woman claiming to be Kai Heineman’s subordinate.

「T-The dimension… Is way too different!」

The chief of research division, Chloe, voiced out what everyone in that place-Excluding Rose and co- felt right now while sweating profusely.

The projection depicting the group of undead got trampled down mercilessly, not even getting the chance to resist. The spectacle of the undead getting trampled so thoroughly showed the other party’s strength.

「Tell me Asta, is Kai’s subordinates truly that powerful?」

Hearing Rose asked with puzzled voice,

「You are asking that now? Despite how they usually act, all of them are cream de la cream of the combat power in 【Gods’ Ordeal】. Not to mention that they’ve become even more powerful thanks to Master’s power. Those lowly bugs are nothing.」

To others, it looked like as if it wasn’t the answer they’re looking for. At first, Asta appeared to be wary toward 【Death Metropolis of Flower】 but, it only took a few moments for her to return to her usual languid face.

「Gods’ Ordeal… Is that place has something to do with the reason why Kai suddenly become so powerful?」

「That place isn’t a place where a mere bug(human) can enter wantonly. “Ignorance is bliss”.」

After voicing such ambiguous remarks, her lips formed a straight horizontal line as if to say that she wouldn’t open her lips anymore. The reason being the scope of the topic was beyond mortal understanding.

That moment, a flying object pierced the black mist, flying toward their direction at high speed. The flying object came from black mist then landed right in the plaza, creating a huge crater as a result. A while later, the flying object was clear for everyone to see and was none other than the rotting head of a dragon.

And it didn’t take a long time for a featureless existence with entire body dyed in jet-black color, wielding a weapon that resembled a red ring fastened on their back. It landed right beside the head of the dragon that fell a while ago.

『This is my blunder.』

The featureless existence bowed to Asta. And then, it came toward the rotting head of a dragon, making it float in the air. The next moment, they became flash of light, and returned inside the black mist.

「Ah, so the big shot of Girimekhala faction is making their move too, eh. Those undead truly screwed this time.」

When Zack made such serious statement,

「And the worst thing in this situation is the fact that event those evil beings who used to work behind the scenes are given the chance to come to the front stage. Well, I guess it’s about the time for the climax scene.」

Asta nodded in agreement while voicingg such meaningful remark.

「I have a question. Is Kai really far more powerful than all of them?」

Hearing Rose’s question, Asta just blinking silently for few seconds before she opened her lips,

「What a foolish question.」

As if supporting the fact, Asta replied so with a wicked smile on her face.
