“《Hounds possession》”

This is what Nito got after inversing Madam Fran’s 《necromancy》, it allows your spirit to invade and possess a living body, controlling it.

“Nito?”

Uranus glared at Ivan, the palms that gripped his arm rests were extremely sweaty. Meanwhile Nito looked around and found someone looking at him from the shadow of a pillar.

“You’re Raj right? It’s been a while since you ran away, I assume you’re the reason that those thugs hurt my friend?”

“Hiii! I, I’m sorry!”

Raj hid completely behind the pillar.

“Huh? What’s wrong? You’re completely different from before…oh? Are you scared of me?”

Nito smiled.

“Shall I kill you at least before I go home? What do you think?”

He said it playfully but Raj was shaking at those words and wept silently hidden behind the pillar. This was the first time those there were meeting Nito, they didn’t know the horror.

At that Time Gazel appeared behind Nito.

“I’ll be taking this little mouse’s head.”

Then he swung a sword that emitted purple waves at Nitos neck.

“Didn’t you discipline him? Emporerー”

The sword stopped mid-swing.

“Guh!”

Gazel struggled to move the sword that was frozen in place but it was held fast by Nito’s skill 《telekinesis》.

“I just came to talk.”

Uranus looked at Gazel, and then again at Masamune who was waiting patiently for him to speak.

“Put away your sword, I’m going to talk with him.”

Nito grinned at him.

“As expected of the Emperor, you understand.”

“Your highness! I shall kill him?”

However Jade suddenly shouted out causing Masamune to look over at him.

“Oh, your magical power is different from the others. In fact it’s very similar to Raj’s. Why?”

“I am Jade of Hecatoncheire the shield that protects his highness!”

Although generally known as Kings shield its correct name is Hecatoncheire.

“I see, so another country has fallen then?”

“Stand down Jade, I said I would speak with him.”

Jade quietly let go of his sword at the emperor’s words.

“What in the world are you guys thinking? Sending spies to destroy countries? What do you do with them?”

“That’s what you want to talk about?”

“That’s just the tip of the iceberg, I want to hear all about this plan you’ve spent so much time setting up.”

Uranus’s expression didn’t change when he heard that.

“Other countries are aware of it? That there is a war comingー”

“Thats enough for now. All you need to understand is that there will be conflict in our world. The more ambiguous the reason, the more anxiety it causes.”

Nito sighed and changed the topic.

“Why are you targeting me? Is it because I stopped that attack? Aren’t I just an adventurer?”

Uranus answered without hesitation.

“No, I had no intention of destroying that country to begin with. The reason I targeted you was because even though I didn’t know who you were I thought you would get in the way of my plan.”

“I see, then let me tell you. As of now, i have no intention of dealing with your empire.”

“As of now? …fufufu, are you kidding me?”

“I’m completely serious. But if you come after me or my companions again, you will meet the same fate that Greyberg did.”

“Greyberg?”

Uranus felt uncomfortable at those words, why was Greyberg mentioned? Nito said it without thinking even though he shouldn’t have, it’s was a testament to his arrogance.

“Youre….dragons heart?”

Uranus’s eyes changed after that, it was as though he was looking at prey. Nito pretended to be calm but he was angry at himself for the slip of the tongue and his anger at himself manifested into his left eye turning it red.

“That eye…the fools eye?”

“Oh, you know it?”

“I see, Nito is of the abyss. No wonder Raj couldn’t defeat you.”

Uranus sighed and sat back in his throne.

“I see, I’m gradually starting to understand you.”

Because he was the emperor Uranus was very analytical, he could understand someone through brief conversation.

“I don’t care what you think, however stop interfering with me. Otherwise I will not only destroy this country, I will erase this entire castle.”

“Exactly like Greyberg?”

Then Uranus leaned forward.

“How’s the black dragon? Is Kagetra still alive?”

“………..”

Nito stood still with his eyes wide open in astonishment. His mind was racing, it was too late to appear completely calm but he did his best to seem as calm as possible.

“Why do you know that name?”

Nito kept his eyes on the emperor pondering his own thoughts.

“Hahahaha! Did that upset you Nito?”

Nito was still inexperienced in these types of exchanges, however Uranus was not. He deliberately raised his voice to shake the heart of his opponent.

“Hahahahaha! I see, so the identity of Nito is someone of the abyss and part of dragons heart! Hahahahaha!”

This was a mistake caused by Nitos arrogance, he believed he was the strongest here but he was not in terms of mind and spirit.

“I am not part of Dragon’s heart.”

“Hahahahaha! I see, then why did you react as if you were?”

Uranus spoke as if ridiculing Nito.

“Fu….child.”

The smile disappeared from Uranus’s face as he said that.

“Child?”

“Thats what I said, am I wrong?”

Nitos expression changed drastically.

“I’m going to destroy this country right now! That’s okay right!?”

Nito fell for the emporers plan and lost his composure.

“Do what you like. But does that mean that you admit that you’re just a child at mercy to my words?”

Nito had come to believe that he was the strongest in everything through the power that he’d gained. But losing in the battle of wits he realized that he had been wrong and was hesitant to kill them.

“Why did you come here? What did you come to talk about?”

Uranus asked casually and Nito did his best to surpress his anger.

“Is it true that you control the beast country?”

Nito managed to remain calm and continue talking.

Uranus looked at him stroking his chin.

“Oh? Where did you hear that? It shouldn’t be public information.”

“Answer me! Is it true?”

Uranus smiled.

“Can’t you tell by looking? The empire was revived through the power of the beastmen.”

“What would you do if I told you to release them?”

Nito was annoyed by the tone of Uranus’s voice.

“Its not possible is it?”

Uranus stood up and instructed the leaders and doctors to leave. All that remained there was Uranus, Raj, and Jade, as well as the kings guards who stood unmoving.

“It doesn’t matter if you are part of dragons heart or not. But you are at least a little involved in something else.”

Then Nito was once again surprised by what came out of Uranus’s mouth.

“The dragon killer Kagetra, Zephyr, the snake king Shawn, the crazy Adolf, and the bewitching Khalifa. Are you familiar with these names?”

“You…where..”

Nito couldn’t hide his surprise and Uranus smiled as if he’d seen through him. It wasn’t the same smile as before but a purer one.

Who is this guy, why does he know that?

They had disappeared hundreds of years ago, Nito could barely keep up, why did the emporer know so much?

“I see, so you do know them.”

Uranus seemed convinced. Nito couldn’t even speak anymore, he had never put so much emphasis on information before.

He wanted to ask why the emporer knew those names but that would be the same as admitting it. He didn’t know what to say next, but the emporer began to talk again.

“One day Dragons heart was erased from this world. I searched for them day after day but I couldn’t find any trace of them. The one day a completely different dragons heart appeared in the world, but I couldn’t even find thst organization either.”

Uranus was resentful.

“I was convinced that all but one we’re superhuman and that they were still alive somewhere in this world. But it was just speculation, I couldn’t find the truth anywhere. ”

Uranus looked impatient, he was practically drooling he wanted the information so badly.

“Nito, what is it that you know.”

His tone was calm but he was glaring.

“Answer me! Where are they!?”

Why was Uranus so desperate? Nito didn’t know but he had a clue. Hundreds of years ago it was Dragons heart that destroyed the empire, but now it had come back under the same name. And the fact that they wanted to find dragons heart.

“Your aim….is Dragons heart?”

But he still didn’t know the reason, why was the empire sending spies to other countries? Was it not to start a war?

“Answer me! Where are they! Are they still alive? Orー”

“I have no intention of answering your question.”

Nito cut the emporer off. When he did Uranus was slowly able to regain his composure.

“Dragon’s heart is a relic of the past. But it still exists today. Why is that? The group should be different from the past, of course. However, there is no doubt that it knows the history that has been erased. Kagetora … or someone else … I don’t know. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know. However, at one point, I came up with a hypothesis and that overlaps with our purpose!”

Uranus was grinning.

“Nito, what is it that you know? What is dragons heart? Who’s part of it? ”

Uranus’s eyes didn’t seem to be looking at Nito but instead trying to stare into his mind.

Nito pretended to be calm as he answered.

“If you don’t release the beastmen, then I will change the way I do things as well.”

Nito ignored Uranus’s question entirely.

“Can I take that as a declaration of war?”

“Relax, I won’t do anything for now. But stop sending thugs after me. You’re just creating more corpses.”

“Why are you so interested in the beastmen?”

Ivan’s body began to glow redish black again.

“Becauae, I don’t want to destroy my world.”

After a moment of confusion Uranus responded as though he had convinced himself again.

“I see, so you’re crazy too.”

Nito didn’t understand what he meant.

“What do you have in the beast country?”

If the beastmen were the core of the empire it didn’t make sense to Nito that they were being controlled.

“I’m the one asking questions! Answer mine first!”

“Didn’t I say I didn’t feel like it? Now answer mine.”

“Then we’re done talking, leave. I don’t have time to play around with children, I’m busy.”

Nito sighed.

“I see… I said it before but, I’m talking.”

“Do what you want. Don’t say what you don’t want to, that’s very adventurer-esk of you. But an ant like you is nothing to the empire.”

“Since we’re done talking I’ll be returning home.”

“Hahahaha! Isn’t it rude for someone to just appear and ask questions one sidedly?! That’s why you’re a child!”

“I’ll advise you one more time.”

Uranus’s expression doesn’t change.

“Don’t pollute my world, human.”

Once he said that Ivan’s body swelled and burst.

“Hahahahaha! ‘Don’t pollute my world. The arrogance of an immature child! Don’t worry Raj, his eye isn’t something to be alarmed about.”

Uranus laughed loudly.

“Of course even I couldn’t feel his magic power, so he’s probably of the abyss. We just got a sneak peek. Hahahahaha!”

Uranus let out an eary laugh.

“Father?…”

Jade and Raj were confused.

“Interesting…”

But Uranus’s hands were sweating. He had ridiculed Nito as a child but only Uranus knew the meaning behind it.
