CH 215

“Of course, you’re bluffing! I’ll show you that such a bluff won’t work against the top rankers in the world!”

“Ara, you may talk big, but do you know that your equipment can’t protect you from electric shocks? Do you also know that metals become brittle if they are cooled and heated rapidly and repeatedly?”

“Heh?”

Then, with my right fist, I hit the spot covered with ice with a fist clad in flames and his stomach with a fist clad in lightning.

“Aaaggaaggaa!?”

And the self-proclaimed former S-rank man convulsed violently after his weapon was broken and fell to his knees with a thud.

“So, what was that about being the top ranker?”

“Ii, ki…. M-my bad! See, I’m sorry, please forgive me! I was wrong.”

And the man, who had been mocking me until now, knelt down on the ground and asked for forgiveness.

“Seriously, if you insist that much, I’ll forgive you this one time only…”

“There’s no way I’d say that, you— idiot!”

“Ara, what a coincidence. I have no intention of forgiving you either.”

“Heh? Ah… stop, Gboooo!”

I walked up to the man and swung my fist down on him as he was on his knees, saying I wouldn’t forgive him.

The man was thinking the same thing I was and tried to surprise me, but I could still feel his killing intent while he was on his knees. I knew his words were a lie because of the killing intent directed at me, and there I was going to take a surprise attack from someone I knew was going to do it. Instead, I swung my first through where he tried to raise his face to surprise me.

I used ice attribute, so the part where I hit him froze.

Then, when he fainted, I put water on my fist and hit him lightly, and when he was awakened forcefully by splashing water on him, I grabbed him by the chest and forced him to stand up.

“Please, give me a break… this time, I was wrong…”

“No, you can’t. I told you, I’m going to make sure you know that my magic is not fake. This is just the beginning.”

[Kaisar’s POV]

“My bad. I might have misheard you, so can you repeat that?”

“Yes, Master Kaisar-sama. I have managed to turn the Kingdom into a puppet nation of the Black Rose.”

Yeah. No matter how many times I hear it, nothing makes sense.

I can’t wrap my head around how this happened. No kidding, but it doesn’t make sense why these girls turned the Kingdom into a puppet state without my knowledge.
