On the roads within the forest at the outskirts of the imperial capital, 100,000 individuals have gathered.

Despite the number of people gathered, there was an overwhelming silence in the area.

This is proof that each and every soldier here is very well trained.

In order to relay the situation to Yuuki via "telepathy", the Black Knight Claude has silently left the area alone.

The vice commander of the mixed corps, he had came here in order to contact Yuuki. That's why, nobody thought Claude taking action alone was strange.

Due to Yuuki's "Overwrite" ability, at one point Claude had his allegiance to Leon overwritten. However, thanks to Chloe currently Claude is restored back to normal.

But, after having his heart taken once, Claude has always been troubled about something in his mind.

TN Note:... the mental heart I guess?

心¨¯ä½‹ï¼Ÿ

What is the heart?

As expected, can the heart really be overwritten simply with the use of abilities?

And, can such a thing really be permitted?

Leon is a great man, whom he has taken care of since his youth. He was the strongest man Claude had even known; he was his target of worship and longing.

And towards that Leon, even thought he only betrayed him for an instant, to Claude that was was an unforgivable stain.

However, at this current situation he must continue to act loyal to Yuuki. If he starts to suspects and the fact his heart has been restored has leaked out things are going to take a turn for the worse.

After receiving treatment from Chloe, he has been training his heart with all he has, but he doesn't have any confidence in his training.

Although he sworn to endure the effects next time, it's uncertain whether it would succeed. He feared the chances of having his heart overwritten again seemed higher.

 ‹‚‰æ…Žé‡«‚

Therefore, he must be careful.

In order not to arouse Yuuki's suspicion, he must pay close attention to his own actions.

Leaving the group, he took a breather.

®‚¯ƒ­ƒ¼ƒ‰«æ°—配‚‚ªä¸äºº®äººç‰©Œå£°‚’‹‘Ÿ‚

That Claude had been called out by a voice without a presence.

At first he was shocked within, but after identifying the owner of the voice he understood.

With a single glance, Yuuki had claimed her to be the world's "strongest".

"It's Chloe-dono huh. There are no problems, I was able to contact Yuuki.

But does that guy really intend to initiate a Coup d'etat?

It doesn't feel like there're that many merits in doing so......"

I can't ever seem to understand what's he thinking, it's probably useless thinking about it."

Œ‚¯ƒ­‚¨æ®¿‚‚佁‹é ¼¾‚ŒŸ®‹ï¼Ÿ

"Did he asked Chloe-dono for something too?"

Œ†‚‚私¯ä¿é'ºª‚ £...‚万Œä¸«å‚'ˆ...®

"Un. I seem to be his insurance. Just in case something happens."

Œ‚Œ¯®ä¸‰¤®å‘½ä»¤‚’使用—Ÿäº‹«¯ª‚‰ª„®‹ï¼Ÿ

"Is this related to the 3 command chances issue?"

Claude was wondering whether Chloe fell under the category of being bound to the three commands (wishes).

Was the reason Chloe smoothly following Yuuki's orders due to the wishes?

Claude often pondered.

"Un. As long as I don't reject it from the bottom of my heart, it wouldn't be considered a wish.

So Yuuki's first instruction of not bearing hostility towards him was excessive."

¨è¤‡é›‘†ªè‹...笑‚’æµ®‹¹...‚¯ƒ­‚¨Œç­”ˆ‚‹‚

Chloe answered with a wry smile, feeling complicated.

Isn't she a little too kind? So Claude thought, but this is the one thing he couldn't say out loud no matter what.

From his perspective, since she tried helping him nullifying the "Dominance curse" by rewinding time, this was something he couldn't possibly say.

‚¯ƒ­‚¨ç¨‹®èƒ½åŠ›è…Œå‡ºæ¥ª„¨è¨†® ‹‚‰‚Œ¯ä¸å¯èƒ½ª® ‚†¨ç†è§£'‚‹‚¯ƒ­ƒ¼ƒ‰‚

Since someone of Chloe's caliber couldn't manage to do so, no matter how much Claude tries it would be impossible for Claude to understand.

Feeling a sense of disgust towards having his heart Dominated, Chloe's probably thinking did he really retain his ego.

"Yeah. Causing an upheaval in the imperial capital doesn't seem to be the purpose, so the vice commanded has intruded that civilian causalities are lowered to a minimum.

I'll just take this chance and blend into the darkness.

"Does Claude san think of this as a chance?

Œƒƒ£ƒ³‚¹ï¼Ÿ

"Chance?"

®æ©Ÿ«ä¹—˜...æˆ...æ­»‚’演出'‚‹®¯ç¢º‹«è‰¯„機会§‚£Ÿ‚

but taking advantage of this opportunity, this was a good opportunity to fake death in the midst of battle.

Under these chaotic circumstances, Yuuki wouldn't have the leisure to investigate a single subordinate too deeply.

After the chaos subsided, even once he realized Claude's death was faked, by then he would have returned to Leon's side.

†è¨†ª‚Šåˆ†èº«è¡"影騎士"‚’実行'‚‹‚¯ƒ­ƒ¼ƒ‰‚

Saying so, Claude used the clone jutsu "Shadow Knight"

A fake clone with an identical appearance, this is the "Shadow Knight".

It's strength is about 30% of the original, and could continuously remain active for 12 hours. Since the consciousness is linked, it's also great ability for spy activates, it's perfect for this situation.

After confirming the "Shadow Knight" has returned to the group, Claude had bowed to Chloe.

This incident had actually in turn saved Black Knight Claude's life, but the person in question doesn't know about this until later on.

The "Scorching Dragon" Velgurindo had no interest in the game between Guy and Rudra.

Just fight head on and decides who reigns at the top, she thought.

However, if she must give her honest opinion, it would be considerably difficult for Rudra and herself to best the duo of Guy and her sister "White Ice Dragon" Velzado.

Guy's the strongest Demon Lord without a doubt, and her sister's compatibility with herself isn't any good.

If sister and Velgurindo fought in battle, worse case scenario they would end in mutual defeat, both annihilated.

The possibility of things going well is very low. Or rather, 0% even.

Heat and frost have contradicting natures. In a word, acceleration and deceleration.

If they battled, rather than one of them surviving in the end, they would both fall. In other words, either they'd both be destroyed, or they're both unable to battle, one of only two results.

If her sister and her are evenly matched, the deciding factor lies between Guy and Rudra's battle.

If that's the case, regardless of the amount of ultimate abilities possessed, Rudra who's a human will always have the disadvantage.

That's why, even thought she seriously wants a head on confrontation, she understood that will only lead to a high chance of defeat on this game board.

The other day, Emperor Rudra had received a report from Kirshna, informing him of the complete annihilation of the Imperial Army's forces of almost 1,000,000.

That really isn't anything significant in itself, but what's extraordinary was that the reason had nothing to do with Veldora.

Receiving the signal, several soldiers entered the hall that can house 300 individuals.

They were solders affiliated with the intelligence bureau.

Damrada seemed like he wanted to say something, but closed his mouth and gave up.

Since he was his majesty the Emperor's loyal, he understood the actions of Lieutenant Kondo.

Damrada quickly changes his feelings, and quickly began taking action.

Therefore, to begin with the only one they needed to be wary of was Yuuki alone.

To be one-sidedly trampled by those who ranked highly in the ranking battles leaves behind an unusual ghastly feel.

However, with his emotions oblivious to the obvious results Kondo ordered the retreat.

"Lieutenant, what should we do with this guy?"

近衛 No.06 ƒŸƒŠ‚¶Œƒ...‚...‚­‚’指—示'‚

Royal Knight no.06 Miraza points towards Yuuki.

Certainly Kondo's necrosis bullets destroys all curse and magic effects. With the root of power destroyed, and the soul bombarded with destruction agents, it's unlikely he'll be revived.

However, isn't it best if they still didn't let their guards down? Miraza thought.

Kodou heard the inquiry, and quickly fired another shot at Yuuki.

Miraza gave a convinced nod, and left the vicinity following Kodou.
