# 442 The Specter Disappears and Causes Mayhem.

TLN: I don't know if the above is actually the chapter's title… All credits go to Patora Fuyuhara and his publishing company.

 The "armored dragon" is a 5,000 year old combat artifact created by Professor Deborah Elks.

 Based on dragons which have high combat power, it was a biological weapon that was deprived of its will, brainwashed, and strengthened. As it is meant to battle Fraise, it's body is strong enough to take one down.

 Just like how it was called by Kanaza, it is one of the "armored dragons" made by Professor Elks. Kanaza's summoned beast has just taken possession of the creature's mind.

"Hmmm…. Which one?"

 When the armored dragon Zebeta stretched his left forefoot towards the wall of the castle next to it, his left hand popped out with an explosion and shattered the wall.

"Hahaha!"

 As Kanaza screamed in joy, Zebeta’s left hand was instantly pulled back using a wire rope.

"There seems to be no problem in using it. Then…. ”

 Zebeta needed to decide his first target out of the nine in front of him. In such cases, a person first reduces the number of attackers. He fired his right-handed claw, "Strike Claw", at the opponent who seemed to be the weakest and could create upset for the rest of them if he erased her.

 The claws that popped out head for Su, who was standing completely straight.

 At the moment Zebeta’s sharp claws tried to pierce Su's chest, she twisted her body sideways without any hesitation, as if nothing had happened.

"What?!!”

   Zebeta raises a surprised voice as Su avoids an attack that girls and children shouldn’t be able to avoid.

"It's slow. Compared to Moraha-nee, this would be slower than a fly." (TLN: In the original, The sentence was said like “Compared to the double-edged sword, flies are more likely to stop.” Since the Goddess of Swords is calling herself as Touya’s older sister by the name of Moraha Mochizuki, I replaced the “double-edged sword” with Moraha. Then, I added “-nee” because it seemed fitting for Su to say it like that. The fly part, I just made it after reading the next paragraph.)

    The rest of the other eight thought that the comparison was wrong, but they didn't say it. In fact, the remaining eight people could also easily see the claw attack that was unleashed, and they thought it was certainly lagging.

"Ku ... how about this!"

      Crescent-like flying objects are continuously shot from both of the armored dragon’s shoulders. The shuriken-like cutters made of Mithril rotated at high speeds and showed irregular movements, attacking the girls. (TLN: Ninja stars~~!)

 However, Yae and Hilda, who came out in front of everyone, knocked down all the cutters. They only knocked them down and didn't slash the shuriken-like things in half because if they  split it in half, the pieces would fly away and it would be troublesome.

"I guess that the toy called “armored dragon” is a toy with lots of missiles."

"If we bring it home, the Professor will be happy."

 Hilda laughs and answers Yae, but to tell the truth, Professor Babylon saw this "armored dragon" 5,000 years ago. On top of that, she slammed the tag called "bad work" on it and was hated by Professor Elks, so it is unlikely that the professor would be pleased.

 One of the reasons Professor Babylon described the "Armored Dragon" as a bad product is its low amount of mass productivity. Since the body is of a dragon, the numbers cannot be multiplied quickly. By the way, it definitely turns the dragon race into enemies. Humans won’t know what will happen if it's a stray dragon that has harmed the human race, but if they were to capture and remodel other dragons, it's like turning all the dragons into enemies. The country would be destroyed by being attacked by dragons before being destroyed by the Fraise. In fact, just like Professor Babylon’s worries, the wrath of the dragons shut down the "armored dragon" project.

 In front of the girls is a survivor of the "armored dragon" project.

"[Come with water, shock bubbles, bubble bombs]!"

 Innumerable soap bubbles emerge around Zebeta who was integrated with the armored dragon. The floating soap bubbles released by Linze exploded every time Zebeta touched even just one of them, like a mine.

"Gugu! You won’t be able to block it again!”

 Zebeta fired knife-like spikes from the numerous ones that covered his spine at the surrounding soap bubbles. The soap bubbles explode and disappear with the spikes.

 Then, at that timing, Zebeta makes one turn of his body, swings his long tail, and tries to shoot the rest of the girls with his tail. A blow of a thick tail covered in metal armor will surely kill one or two of the girls instantly. It must, since that is the only logical explanation.

 However, Zebeta's attempt is easily destroyed.

 A girl with gauntlets on her arms was catching a blow from his tail.

"What!?"

"I recently noticed that my [God’s Love characteristic] is “hitting strength"... Nothing." (TLN: This originally said "I recently noticed that my [genus characteristic] is like" hit strength "... Nothing.". I believe that Touya’s fiancees have started to find out about the affects of God’s Love just recently. By recently, I mean to say about thirty or so chapters….. So I replaced the “[genus characteristic] with [God’s Love characteristic]. If you have a better name for that, comment below.)

 Elze murmured that to herself while holding the dragon’s tail which was thicker than a log. [God’s Love characteristics] are given to the family of a God. So far, Yumina's "Future Vision", Sakura's "Super Hearing", and Lou's "Absolute Taste" have awakened.

 In the case of Elze, to be precise, her astounding strength doesn’t come from her physical attributes, but is a [God’s Love characteristic] that has some Divinity which flows in her body when she uses it. This is genuine Divinity that is just like the Divinity used by the gods and Touya

"Haha. It seems like Elze is like that."

"It's a useful thing ... It's similar to [Boost], so it's certainly easy to use, hiya!" (TLN: I’ve got to make another confession….. I don’t know what the heck the paragraph above talked about! The words legit were “ShintobiFightingKami Elze [genus characteristic] so a version just like the gods and during winter nights?” I caught “Elze” , “[genus characteristic]” , “version” , “gods” , and “during winter nights”. Elze referred to, Elze. [genus characteristic]— based on previous times— means [God’s Love characteristic]. The “version” , “gods” , and “during winter nights” probably means something that is exactly like the powers that gods and Touya use— Divinity. Fun fact! “Touya” is translated as “during winter nights” when I directly machine translated it! Now, let me stop this rant ...)

"Goo!??”

 Elze smashes around Zebeta’s dragonic body by grabbing onto his tail and twisting it. Then, Elze tore away a part of the tail. The unbalanced Zebeta staggers when that happens.

"What are those women!? God damn it, what's going on!? Find a way to win! Zebeta!"

 Kanaza yells at Zebeta who is staggering.

 But sooner than Zebeta could hear his words, Hilda jumped towards Kanaza and pulled out her sword.

"Restia style swordsmanship, three types, sword iron!" (TLN: Not only will I not edit the chants and spell names, I will also not edit the martial arts and sword moves.... *smiles because there is less work*)

"Nooooo ...!”

 As soon as Hilda’s sword struck the dragon’s neck, a large armor-covered neck rolled around in the courtyard.

 At the same time, the main body, which lost its neck, fell to the ground just like a puppet whose strings had snapped.

"Ooooo! Now Hilda-san too has the title of Dragon Slayer!"

"It would be rude to dragons to call this thing a dragon.”

 Sakura returns to her own response to Su's words. Certainly, they don't want to recognize that existence as having a single drop of blood from the strong dragons.

"Muu ...!”

 From the body of the fallen dragon, something like a stagnant mist rises. Zebeta, who had abandoned the body of the armored dragon that had stopped functioning, flew to Kanaza.

"You! Why is that body not working! You were defeated by a little girl! You’re useless!"

“………… No. 3”

"What!?"

"No. 3 from "the Legacy of Elks". Please be quick. "

"Wait, number 3?"

 In a hurry, being encouraged by Zebeta's uninspired voice, Kanaza smashed the sphere marked "3", which came from a small box, into the ground.

 As soon as the shattered debris disappears, armor similar to the Black Knights appears. However, the armor was not black, but a crystal-clear armor.

"Huh?"

"That ..."

 The brides all stopped and looked at the new armor. Everyone was familiar with the armor, or, to be exact, the material.

 Armor that is made out of crystal is flying around Kanaza and is attaching itself onto his body. 

      When armor that covered the back of his hand to the lower arm, elbow, upper arm, shoulder, and both arms, followed by shoes, shin pads, knee pads, thigh pads, and both legs as well as the armor that covered his waist, belly, chest, the nape of his neck, and the helmet was put on, there stood Kanaza in crystal armor covering his body.

"Oh, oh ...! This is ...!"

"Crystal armor! It is made from Fraise material and is the strongest armor. This ultimate armor does not let any blades pass through towards the wearer and on which no magic works. It's my armor!"

 Kanaza, who wore crystal armor all over his body, was more like a soldier in a slightly overpowered suit than a knight in armor.

 Although the armor looks like what heavy infantry would wear to battle, Kanaza didn't feel a lot of the armor’s weight, probably because of weight reduction which was cast onto it.

 Equipped with a sword on his waist and a shield on his back, when Kanaza picks them up, they are as light as a wooden sword.

"Oh! Brilliant ...!"

 When Kanaza swung his sword at the wall, the wall easily got destroyed and cut, just like what would happen if someone were to tear paper.

"Huh ... Huhahahaha! Great! No one in the world can stop me when I have this!"

 Kanaza was originally just a regular soldier who served the Nokia kingdom. There is, of course, a reason why he climbed to the rank of military lord in just a few years.

 That is “the Legacy of Elks". It was only a coincidence that Kanaza discovered it at an archaeological site north of Nokia.

 Kanaza's fate changed drastically because he accidentally dropped the first storage ball from the box contained in the "Legacy of Elks" and crushed it.

 What emerged from the unsealed storage ball was a person who called himself Zebeta. Though this person was a Specter, Kanaza didn’t care. That was how the first Specter met Kanaza.

 As a servant whose job is to teach how to use "the Legacy of Elks", Zebeta was a summoned beast that had been sealed for 5,000 years.

 After that, Kanaza learned his possession technique from Zebeta and manipulated the humans in the castle one after another at his own convenience. Those that could be used were used thoroughly by Kanaza, and those who are in the way would be erased. (TLN: “Those” refers to the castle’s people.)

 Eventually, Zebeta came to think that he was the chosen one. He thought that he is the one who guides the powerless fools in Nokia Kingdom.

 Eventually, he would rule this country and attack and destroy its neighbors who are in the outside world. And while being a possessor, Kanaza was obsessed with the delusion that he was the king of the world.

 A king cannot stumble in such a place. He has to kick these little girls away and show his strength to the kings of the world to show that he was the strongest king.

 Kanaza held his sword and shield and turned to the girls.

"Let's just ask again. Where is Paffia? Be honest, if you beg for your lives, maybe I'll keep you alive as a slave?"

"Before that, maybe you should look at your ugly person in the mirror? Because you're pretty stupid, wearing invisible armor."

 Leen lets out harsh words. Even Touya had decided to make the armor of Brunhild’s knights from Mithril instead of the crystal material. The transparent armor makes the wearer look like a stupid figure. The wearer is completely shown to the world. (TLN: So, if you’ve heard of the folktale called “The Emperor and his New Clothes”, this is basically like that, except that there are clothes. Kanaza is showing himself to anyone and everyone when he wears the translucent armor……)

"And one more thing. Your eyes are like zippers."

"No, aren’t they the type where you can't see the surroundings when you smile?"

"It's a type that is not suitable for a leader."

"That person is... an idiot"

"Sakura-san, that's ..."

(TLN: I can’t tell if the insults are about Kanaza’s weiner or his eyes. *Laughs*. For now, I’ll just call the insults insults about his droopy eyes.)

 Every time the girls say something insulting to him, the veins increase on Kanaza's forehead.

"You….! I wonder if you're ready!"

 Kanaza wields the sword and charges straight towards the girls.

"He really looks like an idiot."

"Yeah. I guess we should use our weapons?"

 Yae and Hilda regain their blades created from crystal material. It is obvious that these are created from the same material as the armor Kanaza is wearing . Kanaza seems to be very confused. (TLN: This could also be translated as “Zebeta seems to be very confused.”.)

 Hilda's sword catches Kanaza's when it plunges towards her. No, Kanaza couldn't accept it. This is because Hilda's sword slashed Kanaza's sword in half.

"What!?"

 In front of Kanaza, who was looking at his easily torn sword with unbelievable eyes, had an incoming attack from Yae, and his defeat was inevitable.

"Kokonoe Secret Technique, Burst!"

 A number of flashes appear in front of Kanaza. The next moment, his crystal armor fell apart, making a dull noise and fell to the ground. Yae slashed at only the armor worn by Kanaza.

 Even though they are made of the same Fraise crystal material, the amount of magical power poured is fundamentally different between Kanaza and Yae's weapons. The strength and sharpness are different.

"Well, that's stupid!"

 Kanaza, who has lost his Fraise armor, drops the handle of the sword he was holding.

    

    Elze jumped in and launched an attack towards Kanaza's body, which had been leaning forward, with her right fist from below.

"Get blown away!"

"Gobue!?"

 Although he had been saving his strength to the extent that his internal organs did not burst, Kanaza, who was hit by Elze, soared high into the sky and was blown to a height of more than 10 meters.

 Kanaza distorts his face with severe pain that hits his abdomen in the air. At the edge of his vision, he saw someone standing on the balcony on the third floor, where the King's bedroom was located.

"This is the punishment of those who have been manipulated by you ... I hope you think about what you did!"

"Pa, Fia ...!"

"[Come, flash storm, electric shock storm, plasma storm]!"

 Princess Paffia's synthetic magic is cast at the defenseless Kanaza. Kanaza raised his voice to his only ally on the ground in sight.

"Ze-Zebeta! Help me quickly!"

"Sorry, I refuse."

"What ...!?"

 Kanaza doubts his ears because of his servant’s refusal to help him in his time of need. The next moment, booming thunder could be heard and a bolt of lightning struck him.

"Fuguwa! Ahhhhhhhhh!"

 Kanaza crashes into the wall on the other side in a terrible state.

 The man who was the military lord of Nokia Kingdom falls to the ground like a rag. He is alive, but has already fainted.

 Perhaps it broke when Kanaza fell to the ground, but a broken box popped out of his pocket, and the spheres inside were popping out.

"It's all good Paffia-san, Grandma Tokie!"

 Yumina hangs up the phone call. Yumina's eyes could see the future of Kanaza, in which he was launched into the sky later. Yumina’s [God’s Love characteristic] is the ability of "future vision".

 So she called Tokie who was in the barrier and asked Paffia to wait. Todome is suitable for those who think of this country. (TLN: I didn’t edit that at all, because I don’t know what it means...)

"Well, let's punish this guy later ..."

 Lu glances at Kanaza who has fainted and looks at the smoky body of Zebeta, pointing her twin swords at him.

"I can't admire a servant who abandons his lord."

"Don't get me wrong. My true lord is not the man who fainted over there. "

"What?"

 The summoned beast is basically the servant of the summoner who called. It should obey the contract obediently unless the summoner breaks the contract.

 Kanaza must have signed a contract with this Specter called Zebeta and followed the agreements. However, Yumina and her friends shook their heads at Zebeta's words and actions that denied it.

"My true lord is Deborah Elks alone. By Deborah-sama's order, I followed Kanaza ... "

"Deborah Elks? It feels like I’ve heard that name before ..."

"Surely, it's the inventor of  “the Sound Needle of Domination", right ...... Wait a minute, you're a person from 5,000 years ago? "

 Leen shows a surprised expression, remembering the name she had heard before.

"I was ordered to serve the successor to the Elks Legacy ... but it seems like the person I served was an idiot ..."

 There was no emotion in the smoky Specter’s words, but the girls were somewhat able to understand its pain.

"It's a good idea to remove the gold bracelet he's wearing. After doing that, those who are possessed will be released ...."

 Paula rushed to the fallen Kanaza, and when he quickly took his arm, he pulled out the gold bracelet that was there. At that moment, a muddy gaseous thing erupts from the mouths of the fallen Black Knights who were groaning and disappeared.

 Paula flew back to Leen, clinging to her feet, making a terrified gesture.

 Leen picks up the gold bracelet from Paula and squints. She quickly realizes that the bracelet is a magic artifact and contains lots of magic power.

 Many fairies have such appraising eyes, but Leen knew that her senses in detecting what things were were getting sharper. It may be her [God’s Love characteristic]. Let's call it "Appraisal Eye".

"I see. This is the source of his magical power. It supplemented the magical power needed to keep the summoned beast, Zebeta, in our dimension. Because it was taken, he couldn't uphold the summoned beast’s contract."

"Really. The man had some talent as a possessor. To be able to make use of Magic Tools and artifacts...."

 Kanaza's contracted Specters were all quickly disappearing due to the lack of magical power.

 The magical power to allow Zebeta to stay in this dimension is irrelevant as it comes from the box containing the Elks Legacy. However, the box also broke while in the bosom of the fallen Kanaza and lost its power. It was only a matter of time before Zebeta disappeared.

 Zebeta was finally released! He had been tied to that box like a certain genie was to a magical lamp for 5,000 years. When he woke up, Zebeta was used by a child-like man, and was forced to help him in various ways. Zebeta wants to complain to Professor Elks who tied him to the box, but that wish doesn't come true either.

"There are women trapped in the basement of Kanaza's mansion. They should be released. Then, with this ... "

 Zebeta, who can no longer maintain his existence, disappears in the night breeze. It is a release from the curse that has been placed upon him for 5,000 years.

 When the night breeze stopped, there was no longer a Zebeta there.

"... He just said it and disappeared without permission."

"I don't feel refreshed ..."

"Well, isn't it okay because the most harmful thing has been decapitated?"

 Looking at Kanaza who was laying down, Elze said those words. This man has no power anymore. The aristocrats who were being manipulated will return back to their senses, and the king will wake up eventually. The punishment for Kanaza is unavoidable.

 When a person thinks of the women’s wrath and desire for punishment, and then thinks of how Kanaza was punished, they may think that it is only lukewarm. (TLN: That just meant that the girls’ thoughts about his punishment were pretty simple compared to the punishment that Kanaza received. Also.... WARNING: THE REST OF THE CHAPTER MAY BE A BIT TO MUCH FOR YOU IF YOU ARE COMPLETELY HOMO! I’ve given you the warning!)

          ◇◇◇◇

 When Kanaza woke up, he was in a dim darkness. When he looked around, he could see that he had been sleeping in a dungeon. There was no ball-shaped ornament on his neck, and it was clear that he had been stripped of his position and imprisoned.

"Zebeta! Come out, Zebeta!"

 No one answers Kanaza's voice. He uses his tongue and tries to summon his summoned beast, but realizes that magic cannot be used. It's a dungeon that keeps prisoners in. Naturally, measures against magic are taken.

"Damn those females from Brunhild! I hope you know that I'll kill you next time ...!"

 Kanaza is still influenced by when he was the military lord and thinks he can get out of his confinement. His thoughts aren't working correctly because of his anger.

 Suddenly, he heard a strange sound in his ears. It makes his body tense.

 It was the breathing sound of an animal going bufu, bufu.

 There is something. Eventually Kanaza noticed a large creature in the corner of the dungeon.

"A, horse ...?"

 The silhouette seen in the dim light certainly looks like a horse. However, horses have no horns that extend from their foreheads. Wrong, not a horse. It's a unicorn!.

"Why a unicorn ...!?"

 Kanaza is terrified and stands up unintentionally. Unicorns are obedient and docile to virgin women, but they are demons that show ferocious aggression against men.

 However, the unicorn is staring directly at Kanaza without rampaging. For some reason Kanaza felt uncomfortable with its gaze.

 The unicorn slowly walks towards Kanaza. Kanaza was cornered by the wall without any place in the dungeon to escape.

"Hit!?"

 Group! The hoof of the unicorn's forefoot was struck next to Kanaza's face. 

"I prefer to have muscles, but ... Well, I guess I can put up with you? You're so fragile ... "

"It talked ...!"

 Despite hearing Kanaza's surprised voice, the unicorn tore off the clothes covering Kanaza's upper body. His upper body was naked.

"Oh, you have a surprisingly good body. A type that is skinny? Good, I'm getting excited!"

"What !?"

 Kanaza's chest is licked by the unicorn's tongue. He noticed something was wrong with the unicorn in front of him. What is this? What the hell is this! ??

 In a blink of an eye, his underwear and trousers were torn off, and Kanaza felt danger for the first time.

"Don't! Stop! Stop!"

"Be calm, be calm. It doesn't hurt. It will end soon. "

"What is it!?"

 The unicorn chases down Kanaza who runs away naked. You can see that its breathing is getting rougher. No doubt this horse is getting excited.

"Zebeta !? Zebeta! Come out, Zebeta!"

"Stop ...!"

 That day, all the screams heard from Nokia's dungeon were silenced ...
