Chapter 104.1

The conference hall where we were was rocked by a massive explosion.

“Ugh!”

The force of the blast sent the Alors knight before me flying and crashing into a wall. As we emerged from the rubble, Alors soldiers began to stir.

“Diello, Argenta?”

“It’s Krua Alors!”

They looked like they had seen a ghost.

Instead of answering, I stepped forward in front of Diello. They must be wondering how we survived against Duke Alors, the current head, but there was no need to explain it in words. He had cleared the way, and now it was my turn.

Swoosh!

I drew all the water that had been threatening Argenta around me up to my head.

“….!”

Both the Alors, who were controlling the water, and the Argenta, who were being threatened by the water, turned their gazes towards us.

Judging by the fact that the Alors soldiers, who had been maintaining their strength even though Duke Alors was dead, were still strong, they must have been those who were originally born with the power. However, their strength must have weakened considerably now that Duke Alors was dead.

“Your Excellency!”

“Lord!”

Unlike the despairing voices of the Alors, the voices of the Argenta were filled with joy. I smiled back at them as if to answer them.

And then.

Swoosh!

I burst the water that I had gathered above my head like an explosion. The violently erupting stream of water swept away the remnants of the Alors.

“….!”

Some of the Argenta were hit by the water, but instead of harming them, the water washed away their wounds. Because I, the master of the water, didn’t want to harm them.

“Kugh!”

As dozens of Alors soldiers fell, the tide turned in an instant. The scene was clearly visible because it was bright due to the fires burning everywhere.

Perhaps because it had been raining and the Argenta were being pushed back, there was a look of exhaustion on the faces of the Argenta soldiers. However, from the moment I drew the water away, hope blossomed on their faces.

Soon.

“Waaaaah!”

They raised their swords once more and charged into the Alors forces.

Crackle!

Sparks flew on the battlefield. Even in the dark under the storm clouds, the flames shone brightly, but I thought I could make them even brighter.

I looked up at the sky.

Swoosh!

As the abundant magical power that came with being a head enveloped my body, it seemed like I could move anything that contained water as I pleased, and what caught my eye was the storm clouds.

Swoosh!

The moment my magical power spread out, the rain that had been falling from the sky stopped.

“….”

Not only the Argenta but even the Alors people looked up at the sky. While I couldn’t push away the entire storm cloud that was hanging over Argenta, at least…

Swoosh!

I could push away the storm cloud that was hanging over this battlefield.

Moonlight poured down through the slowly revealed clouds. In the center of it was the battlefield. Now, this place was a battlefield ruled by moonlight, not the shadows of storm clouds and heat, not humidity.

“Aaah!”

The morale of the Argenta soared as if it would pierce the sky. It didn’t take more than ten minutes to clean up the battlefield.

“There are some casualties, but they are less serious than we expected.”

Redias, who was reporting after the battle, looked cheerful.

“There are many testimonies that Alors resisted strongly while we were fighting under the storm clouds, but they seemed to lose their strength at some point.”

As he spoke, he was looking at me.

That moment was probably the moment when I suppressed Duke Alors and gained the power of water. The water that the Duke controlled must have been hostile to the Argenta, but the water that I controlled wouldn’t be.

“Good.”

I was receiving the report in my office.

After the battle, Diello and I had to enter the office without any time to rest in order to deal with the aftermath.

“Aren’t you tired, Krua?”

Diello seemed worried about me, but I shook my head.

“I’m fine. I used a lot of power, but… I’m not tired to an unusual degree.”

I looked down at the mark of the head engraved on the back of my hand. The mark of the head was slowly fading as if it was seeping into my body.

Diello opened his mouth again as he looked at the back of my hand.

“Right after awakening, you might feel that way because of the overflowing magical power.”

He narrowed his eyes.

“But you’ll get tired as time goes by. You should rest.”

I looked back at him.

“Is that from experience?”

At my words, Diello hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Yes.”

Then, he smiled softly.

“It was… amazing to see the fire move.”

Suddenly, the image of a young boy with black hair who looked at the flames moving along his hand with wonder came to my mind, and I smiled.

“Then I should rest, but I can’t rest without dealing with the aftermath.”

Above all, it was a time when the remnants of Alors were still in Alors. Duke Alors was dead, and Pentas Alors was also imprisoned in the underground dungeon. Moreover, the soldiers who remained in Alors would be in chaos without the power that had been provided by Duke Alors.

If we were to attack, right now was the time. Therefore, it was difficult to rest.

“We need to deal with it quickly before I collapse from exhaustion.”

I pulled the bell rope.

At my words, Diello looked at me with narrowed eyebrows. He had a worried look on his face.

“Diello, you’ve been through a lot as well.”

…Fighting against the fear of the past. It was amazing that he had held out with just the flames in the sea of water. However, Diello looked perfectly fine, as if he had perfectly awakened as the head. A small smile appeared on his lips at my words.
