Chapter 148:Asymmetric Power

Tak!

One of the blurry figures leaped down from the high ceiling straight into the office where they were.

“Long time no see? You sons of bitches.”

“You are…”

Freya’s pupils trembled slightly at the appearance of the person who landed as skillfully as a cat despite the considerable height and spat out rough language in a gravelly voice.

Asir, the 2nd Princess of the Elves and the terrorist who attacked the World Tree.

She straightened up and looked at the Evergarden family, raising the corner of her mouth crookedly as she stared at them.

“You tricked me so well, you slippery bastards…”

Tak-

“That was a problem with your intelligence, Asir.”

A young man landed next to Asir, who was building up anger while clearly remembering the last incident.

The young man adjusted his glasses, which were slightly askew from the impact of the landing, and looked at her with a look of disdain.

“Whose side are you on!”

“Well, didn’t you manage to escape the crisis thanks to my scroll?”

“By the way, it’s you, isn’t it? The mediocre one who barely blocked my fire magic.”

“…Are you talking about me?”

“Since you’re the only one here who knows the ‘ma’ in magic, it seems.”

“So I came to see how skilled you were, but… Hah, I’m annoyed that I just wasted my time.”

Griffin, who had immediately turned his head and glanced at Felix, snorted mockingly and muttered.

“Griffin Bill Stark…!”

However, even while looking at the man who exuded an unpleasant atmosphere from the first meeting, Felix muttered, sweating nervously. He, who also appeared in the original work, was truly a prodigy of the magic world.

During the Demon War after the academy arc, he was a being with tremendous power, to the point of being called the destroyer of the battlefield.

In the original work, he wasn’t exactly the type to act haughtily, but that personality seemed to be the personality of the person possessed within him.

“Wow, there are so many people~ The booze is gonna taste great, huh?”

The next to appear was Eileen.

Still showing a clear and pure appearance and words and actions that didn’t match, she raised the bottle of alcohol to her lips even in this situation and smiled, drunk with intoxication.

Tatak-

“….”

Following behind, Jin Boreas appeared, still staring at them with a blank expression, without saying a word.

“…Everyone. They’re all supporting characters who fit the protagonist of the original work.”

“I don’t see a few of them, but it’s certain.”

Celebrian Asir, the Elf Princess.

Jin Boreas, the Lord of the North.

Griffin Bill Stark, the prodigy of magic.

Eileen von Gracias, the Grace of the Goddess.

Felix couldn’t help but be nervous at the appearance of the main characters who appeared in the original [Twilight Starlight] and followed the protagonist with powerful strength until the very end.

“Surely… the 3rd Prince and the alchemist aren’t visible, but it’s certain.”

“No matter what, we have to match the number of people. It’s okay, right?”

The possessed people who appeared by punching a hole in the ceiling of the mansion with a single gesture from Eileen.

“They told me not to kill them, so a few holes in their bodies are okay, right?”

Kadeudeudeuk-

Asir, who had put an arrow on the longbow in her hand, muttered while pulling the bowstring.

In particular, Asir, who had been tricked but had a lot of ill feelings towards the Evergarden family, was about to pull the bowstring in her hand right away.

A touch-and-go situation just before an intense battle broke out.

However.

“That’s enough.”

When a girl’s voice was heard, the atmosphere was instantly reversed.

“…You’ve come out, huh?”

“…Asir, I think I know why you couldn’t resist so much.”

“A real monster, shit…”

“……”

The footsteps walking over looked like an ordinary girl coming forward at first glance.

But at her appearance, the possessed people all swallowed and couldn’t help but take a step back, hesitating.

‘That’s’ a different species.

It was such an overwhelming presence that they felt the difference between humans and ants to the bone, and they felt like their legs would give way.

“I, if you surrender obediently… I won’t do anything!”

Tene’s surrender proposal, which followed and stood proudly in front of them, was truly clumsy and lacking.

However, depending on who made the proposal, it could be dismissed as crazy nonsense, or it could feel like giving a handful of final mercy.

“I, I’m really going to hit you?! It’s going to hurt a lot!”

Kkwak-

Tene then shouted with her dainty and cute hands clenched tightly.

It was as if the girl was acting spoiled and complaining, but it was clear that not many would survive if they were hit head-on by that fist.

She was still not used to hitting people, but it was her judgment that something big would happen if she didn’t step up now.

“…Didn’t you know this would happen? You should know that Tene is here, right?”

Rosaria inadvertently voiced the question she had been thinking about, seeing the shrinking figures who seemed nervous, their arrogant attitude from when they first appeared gone.

They already knew that there was a final weapon called Tenebrix Nox in the Evergarden family.

So why did they think of charging in head-on like this?

Are these people who are planning to systematically destroy the Empire, burn the World Tree, and cause a massacre doing such a sloppy job? Even with Rosaria’s stupid head, it didn’t make sense.

“Good job, Tene! Smash those nasty bastards!”

“Yes? Th, that’s a bit… too much…”

In that situation, Dariann cheered for Tene, who was at the forefront, as if he liked the reversed situation.

However.

“This… I think there’s a problem…”

“Maybe, perhaps…!”

Felix and Freya, who were standing next to them, still had serious faces.

“Asir, who knows the contents of the original work and has directly experienced its strength, couldn’t have not said anything.”

“Then there are two conclusions. They’re either fools who are drunk on their meager power-“

“…Or they have a way to deal with it.”

“…Yes?”

At that time.

“Even if there’s a difference, we have to match the level, right?”

Ttak-

Eileen, who was still sitting in her seat with a relaxed smile despite Tene’s appearance, snapped her fingers again.

Then.

“….Huh?”

Rosaria didn’t understand the situation in front of her.

All she saw was that as soon as Eileen snapped her fingers, a person she had never seen before was standing in Tene’s place, looking at her instead of

Tene.

Kwaaaang-!

“Aeuugh!?”

“Uh-oh?”

Then, a loud noise was heard from the wall behind the office where they were standing, and when they turned their heads, they saw Tene embedded in the wall, groaning in pain.

Even in the midst of that, Tene tilted her head as if she was bewildered because she didn’t know what she had been hit by.

“What is this—”

“Tene!”

Tene, who was embedded in the wall in the blink of an eye.

The Evergarden family, who felt embarrassed by the absurd situation, urgently called for Tene.

“Be quiet. My head is ringing.”

“…..”

Their bodies froze completely as they were.

‘Ah, this feeling. I’ve felt it before.’

Even though their survival instincts were ringing like crazy in their heads, it was a desperate situation where their bodies were frozen and they couldn’t move at all.

A situation where an undeniable death appeared right in front of their eyes and was waiting for them.

Rosaria was horrified by the feeling she had when she first met Tene.

‘No way, no way, no way…?’

Rosaria, with her stiff body that she couldn’t control at all, carefully rolled her eyes and looked straight ahead.

There, she saw a woman.

She had white hair similar to Eileen, but the quality of the hair itself was different.

A mature and obese adult woman’s body compared to Tene.

Half-sunken eyes and eyes that drooped slightly downwards as if she was drowsy.

Tremendous beauty that made even the Elves, who were picked as the first among the perfect bodies and beautiful races that God had given, seem trivial.

Such a woman was rubbing her eyes in front of them as if she was sleepy.

“Haaam… sleepy. Tired. I want to sleep. Annoying.”

In addition, the words she uttered were laziness itself, which did not match her beautiful appearance at all.

It was alien and strange, but one thing was certain.

‘That’ is something even Tene can’t handle.

“Surely, you didn’t think we came just by ourselves? Hey… there’s no way infantry would run to a place where there’s a tank.”

“Tanks have to stick together.”

Eileen said to them while facing the white woman who was still standing in a frozen state as if she was carefree.

“Wh, White… Dragon…”

At that time, Felix, barely trembling his stiff mouth, said something.

“Th, the Empire and the Imperial Family, th, the Guardian Dragon…”

“Lux… Di, Es…”

Lux Dies, the pure white White Dragon that is the counterpart to Tene, the black Black Dragon.

After her appearance, the Evergarden family’s asymmetric power was neutralized.
