Episode 99

Bam.

Just as I was about to hear that sound, one of the pillars with candles hanging nearby shattered and broke into pieces.

“……That damn bastard.”

As if that wasn’t enough to appease him, the second prophet continued to destroy things around him.

Even the candles that had been hanging in the already dark room collapsed and disappeared, bringing complete darkness, and the guy muttered in a flat tone within it.

“I stayed still because of the agreement, but if that guy provokes me first, I can’t stay still either. That son of a bitch.”

Boom!

And as my eyes adjusted to the darkness, the guy with a distorted face, the exact opposite of his calm tone, gnashed his teeth and unleashed his power towards me.

“But how did you know that?”

Of course, there was a reaction of wondering why I knew that fact, but I still had many options.

“He said if I showed you this, you would believe it.”

Swish.

When I took the seal out of my bosom, the second prophet’s frowning face finally relaxed.

“……This is my seal.”

A seal with a picture of a person raising his index finger.

From the words of the third prophet’s soldiers, he heard that they valued the seal more than their lives, so he pulled it out from the corpses of the guys he had killed before.

Of course, since it had weak durability, if I wanted to get rid of it I could just use my grip strength to get rid of it, but because I killed it so quickly, they didn’t even think about getting rid of the seal, and that became evidence for me.

“I barely managed to get what the third guys were trying to take. Sorry about the blood.”

“……No, thank you for bringing me what was for my soldiers.”

The prophet’s face, which had been filled with suspicion, began to soften, and in its place, hatred took its place, and his dark eyes began to darken even more.

“I guess we should prepare for war.”

war.

I was secretly delighted to see him mention it before I could even suggest it, but I pretended to be calm on the outside and spoke to him as if I was making a request.

“If the second prophet comes forward himself, won’t he be restricted by the other prophets?”

“……Yes, and the Bone Fortress you belong to will also try to dissuade you. But are you saying we should just wait and see?”

Kwang.

My whole body was scratched and covered in small wounds from the rough aura emanating from him, but I was still looking at him.

“Are you saying I should just watch that third guy ignore me first? You bastard.”

“How could that be?”

He’s a tricky guy to deal with.

Forcing myself to suppress the twitching of my eyebrows, I put away the whip and handed him the carrot.

“What I meant was, wouldn’t it be better to use my troops rather than the Prophet’s soldiers, who are more mobile and easier to detect?”

“……Hoo.”

The prophet stroked his chin as if thinking about something, but I knew it wouldn’t be long before he agreed.

‘It must be an offer you can’t refuse.’

I heard that the Bone Fortress was the one who caused the originally opposing prophets to join hands.

Of course, those guys couldn’t have just stood by and watched the prophets fight amongst themselves, so they would definitely mediate the fight.

Moreover, prophets who do not have special agreements with each other are basically enemies.

The argument was that sending troops to one place would lead to invasion from another place.

For these many reasons, it was clear that it would be much better to use my troops, the fortress of bones, instead of their own soldiers, who were obviously loyal but difficult to send out in this situation.

“……That’s a good idea.”

As expected, the guy pretended to think about what I was thinking, and eventually answered me with a bitter smile.

“But I wonder, why are you so insistent on taking my side?”

Of course, he said that as if he hadn’t completely let his guard down, but he had already prepared a script for that.

“The one who attacked first was ultimately the Third Prophet. In that case, the justification would be with you, the Second Prophet. Even if the war goes in a similar direction, isn’t it obvious whose side the Bone Fortress will take?”

“……So you’re going to take sides since you already know who’s going to win, right?”

The corners of the second prophet’s mouth, which had understood what he was saying, went up, unlike a moment ago.

“I didn’t really like those guys… but I like yours.”

I laughed inwardly at the guy who said that to me as if he was in a good mood.

‘Don’t you know that you should be suspicious when given such a great opportunity without any reason?’

Of course, that was just his feelings, and he was talking like he was that guy’s lackey.

“I’m sorry, but I would like you not to tell this to my superiors, the Fortress of Bone. This is almost like a personal move on my part, so if they find out, it will be difficult in many ways…….”

“You’re talking nonsense. Didn’t you already decide to help me? I know that much.”

I smiled as I watched the second prophet do everything according to plan and my words.

The second prophet noticed my laughter with joy and smiled as he said to me:

“I hope we can continue to have a good relationship in the future.”

Naturally, I had no intention of having any kind of relationship with this guy, let alone a good one.

Of course, my mouth was immediately opening and speaking.

“Of course.”

So, without knowing anything, the second prophet joined my plan.

Knowing that I am just a tool, I may not know that I am destined to be used as a tool and then thrown away.

“Do you know how scared I was!? The people around me were surprised by how loud the noise was outside the church……!”

Thump thump.

I looked around while calming down Leona, who was whispering to me but also throwing her fists fiercely.

“If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have come here.”

“……That’s true.”

The walls and ceilings, artwork and decorations are all covered in gold.

Of course, most of the artworks among them were of little value, as they were all works praising or decorating the second prophet himself, but the magnificent building itself was enough to inspire awe.

If only I wasn’t a player.

‘… … There are no bone fortress guys inside.’

This is the dwelling place of the second prophet guy.

Of course, it felt more like a royal palace than a normal residence. Of course, the second prophet had invited me here.

Of course I knew there would be bone fortress guys and I told the second prophet about it… … .

‘Don’t worry about that. Those guys aren’t in my mansion.’

The second prophet’s words are that surprisingly, there are no bone fortress guys inside.

And in fact, not a single one of the Bone Fortress guys was visible inside.

Of course, it was the optimal environment for me, who had to avoid being caught, and I was welcomed as if I was precious to the guy and all I had to do was stay there.

It was a little funny that Leona, who was treated as living armor during the process, was given armor polish instead of food.

“……My heart almost sank because I thought I’d been caught.”

The armor was so full of fraud that even the second prophet wouldn’t notice it easily, but it must have been a terrifying experience for Leona, who didn’t know the inside story.

Of course, now it was just a small incident that could be talked about in whispers.

“So, what do I do now?”

Boom!

I muttered quietly to Leona, who was being treated like a living armor sitting on the floor.

“……You just have to wait.”

The second prophet guy readily gave me his castle when I told him I should focus on gathering strength to deal with the undead army, and thanks to him, I was able to gather other information from it as well.

‘The Bone Fortress gave the Prophets some authority over some of the undead, so most of my skeletons were buried with them.’

If they’re mixed, how would I know which are the undead from the Bone Fortress and which are my undead?

In the end, they’re all the same skeleton.

Originally, they were going to just send them out to fight secretly among the soldiers, but it was obvious that there wouldn’t be many side effects even if they were put out in the front line.

‘By the way, that guy is funny. He asks for the power to protect himself, but what he actually does is invade other guys.’

The second prophet guy said that apparently the undead asked for and received the power to defend themselves from their bone fortress.

But what is that soldier doing now?

‘If you sit there, you end up thinking the same thing.’

Even with a sneer, I contacted Dracolich.

‘Dracolich. Can you hear me?’

[I can hear you, Father.]

Unlike me, Dracolich has invaded the third prophet guy.

Unlike other undead, Dracolich is the only one that can control undead with its own power, so it was an inevitable choice to deceive people like me into belonging to the Bone Fortress… … .

‘Was the operation successful?’

[Yes, it’s perfect.]

That choice was so fitting that even Dracolich, with his cautious nature, would call it perfect.

[When I added a little more to what my father said, he even shed tears and thanked me for coming out for his soldiers. Thanks to him, I learned a lot of things that could be helpful to my father.]

‘… That’s it?’

Of course, I was a little taken aback to hear Dracolich say that, as the result was so good, but whatever.

‘What about the fortress of bones?’

[At least not around me.]

If we could gain their trust without being caught by the Bone Fortress, our job would be done.

I am grateful to Dracolich for doing even better than that.

‘… …Thank you for your hard work.’

[thank you!]

As I cut off communication with Dracolich, Leona muttered from the side.

“By the way, why didn’t you go yourself and send the dragon instead? I thought you’d do it yourself, given your personality.”

“You should avoid any actions that may arouse suspicion as much as possible.”

At first, I tried to contact both of them myself, but after seeing the prophets I’ve met, I’m thinking it was fortunate that I didn’t.

Even though the guys fell for my plan, they weren’t just stupid.

That’s also why I started using formal language, which I never used before.

‘… …Spiders, so when do they move?’

And then I slowly started contacting the spider.

It was those guys with spiders who signaled the start of my plan.

[You can do it right now, why? Do you have to do it now?]

The spider guy who still speaks with a rough tone.

But I said to the guy who showed that he had finished everything he had to do.

‘Okay, let’s start.’

To light the fuse of war.
