Chapter 260 - Episode Seven - A Certain Fixer's Ambition (3) (Side: Peter)

“You were very excellent, Ex-Pope Peltaire-san. The stability of the Dinrat Kingdom, a great power, leads to the stability of the world. Since you took control of the Dinrat Kingdom, there hasn’t been a single incident in the country. That’s why I’ve been overlooking what you’ve been doing, but …… Messing with the god Kudor was a bit much. I’ve been monitoring you closely for some time now. It is somewhat unfortunate that we had to intervene here.”

A man with glasses, who seemed to be the leader of the three members of the “Balance of the Scale of Time”, said to Peter.

“…… If that was the case, you would’ve done something about it earlier. How shameless …… You’re just trying to snatch the power of the god Kudor, aren’t you? “

Peter bites his lower lip as he glares at the man with the glasses.

The man with the glasses grins as Peter pointed out.

“We don’t know much about the situation either …… We’ll have to wait and see if we can seal it up again or use it to our advantage. From my point of view, I doubt that there really is a real God of Kudor here, but …… well, either way, I don’t want you guys to move on your own from here.”

Seeing the hostile look of the man with the glasses, Peter’s men began to raise their weapons.

The man looked around and then sniffed.

“Darras, do it.”

“Oaaaah!”

As soon as he heard the voice, the large man in an iron mask, one of the three members of the “Balancer of the Scale of Time”, charged at Peter while roaring like a beast.

“…… It looks like even I are being taken for fool. All right, I’ll take you on!”

As soon as Peter held up the staff of Zolomonia, his thirty subordinates at that moment began to move at once and intervened between Peter and the large man in the iron mask, Darras.

Darras moved around with an agility that was unimaginable for his huge body, laying waste to Peter’s men.

Their magic and sword could not keep up with his speed.

He ducked under fireballs and flicked away the swords that were pointed at him with a palm strike.

Even if they could catch up, they were clearly outmatched in power, and there was no way they could compete in a straight fight.

A man flew through the air like an insect and was crushed. It didn’t take long before all thirty of Peter’s men were unable to move properly.

The man with the glasses and the blonde girl did not make any move at all until the end.

Peter, who was wary of the blonde girl’s magic, was unable to show his full potential against Darras, and was pinned to the ground by his wrists and ankles by stakes engraved with the magic formula that Darras had driven into him, rendering him immobile.

“I-I’ve come this far, and for me to go through this ……! You should have gone all out from the beginning ……”

Peter glared hatefully at Darras.

Peter was thinking of the two men he had left behind, but Darras was not a man to be trifled with, even with the difference in numbers.

If he had gone all out from the beginning without thinking about the future, the result might have been different, but there was nothing he could do about it now.

In the first place, it doesn’t make much sense when there are two more people waiting behind you.

Darras, on the other hand, was quiet as if what he had done just a moment ago was a lie.

He stopped moving as soon as he had blocked Peter’s movement, his two large arms hanging slackly.

His face is hidden by his mask, so he can’t read his feelings at all.

“That’s enough, Darras. Peltaire has a worth to use, he’s a very valuable pawn. Besides, killing him would paralyze the politics of the Dinrat Kingdom. In the first place, it would be foolish to move the god Kudor, but then lose control of him. Depending on what’s lying in the depths of the temple, we might have to use Peltaire.”

After saying that, he walked over to Peter and then crouched down, making eye contact with him as he groaned in pain from his limbs.

“Then, thank you for bringing the Temple of Kudor to the surface. You were a very excellent man, Ex-Pope Peltaire. I was going to leave it until the confrontation became inevitable, but …… it seems that the day has come sooner than I thought.”

He stood up and turned to the blonde girl who was sighing in boredom.

“Ruin, while you watch Peltaire here, don’t let any outsiders get close. Your magic is too large and too limited. I don’t think you can use it properly inside the building. Kill all those who show a strange interest in the Temple of Kudor, just in case. But don’t put more than thirty percent of your magic into it. Without me, I won’t be able to hold back your outbursts in case they happen, and you’ll be too conspicuous.”

“…… Yes.”

The girl called Ruin raised her eyebrows somewhat disapprovingly, but didn’t really argue.

She wiped her eyes, which were wet with tears from lack of sleep, with the sleeve of her robe and sat down on a large stone nearby.

“Darras, you will join me in searching the temple. And Ruin …… take care of the bridge to that entrance.”

Ruin gave a small nod and waved her staff from her seated position.

“Earth, form, bridge.”

The soil along the cliff crumbled and changed shape, and in no time at all, a large bridge was completed, connecting the temple to the sea.

“Good work, Ruin. Now, wait here for the rest. And you too, ex-Pope Peltaire.”

The bespectacled man looked back at Peter as if he were being taken for a fool, laughed, and walked across the bridge to the temple.
