Chapter 275 – True Ancestor Again

In a corner of the royal palace. The place that would be considered the courtyard in an ordinary mansion.

While it was a courtyard, it was large enough for Grulf to run around in.

But though we had only just dispelled the mist, it was already filling up once again.

“Cluck?”

‘Please do.’

“Cock-a-doodle-doooo!!”

Cried Lord Gerberga, and the mist was swept away at once.

‘There is nothing here?’

But once it was gone, it seemed like there was nothing there. Even a quick search with magic did not detect anything. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

And so I used Magic Detection and Magic Exploration very carefully, and then I finally caught a presence.

“It’s you. Hurry up and die.”

At the same time, I created Magic Lance and launched it towards the presence.

But before it could reach him, Dark Ray was shot in our direction.

Dark Ray was the magic that the Evil God head had used previously.

As I could not allow it to hit us, I created a barrier to block it completely.

“That’s what I should be saying to you. Hero ape.”

It was the True Ancestor who was hiding here. And judging by the quality of the magic energy, it must be the real one.

It was very similar to the one I killed yesterday. Just a little weaker.

And at the True Ancestor’s feet, there was a complex magic circle carved into the ground.

I unsheathed the Devil King Sword and attacked the True Ancestor.

Eric and Goran did the same. Even without exchanging any words, we were able to coordinate.

But the True Ancestor dodged our slash attacks and blocked with barriers. However, he did not attack.

There was no doubt that he was planning something.

“What’s the matter? You are usually much more talkative. You might be able to get some information from me?”

“I doubt you’ll say anything that is important.”

“That is true. You are smart for an ape, Ruck.”

As the True Ancestor dodged our fierce attacks, it laughed with amusement.

It was as if he was telling us that his hidden plan was moving along smoothly.

“Well, it’s you, after all. So you must be planning to revive the Evil God?”

The dark ones had been trying to bring back the Evil God for a while.

“Indeed. However, it was never a secret? You boast about knowing something so obvious. People may call you a sage, but you are really just an ape after all.”

The True Ancestor looked at me mockingly.

“You lured us away from the palace, tore a hole in the divine protection, and concealed what you were doing with mist.”

“Yes. And what of it?”

The True Ancestor waived his right hand.

And then Vampire Lords appeared all around us. There were fifteen in all.

“Leave them to us.”

“We can manage it if there are this many!”

“Grau!”

Serulis, Shia, and Grulf all attacked the Lords.

With brilliant coordination, they sent the Lords to their graves, one after another.

I also unleashed some magic at the Lords while slashing at the True Ancestor with my sword.

“The mist is the key to your plan, isn’t it?”

He had gotten rid of us because we would be in the way. After all, we were always stopping the dark ones whenever they attempted something.

Of course, that was obvious, and not really a clue.

As for the hole in the Divine Protection, that was to use the mist.

The mist was made of Arch Vampires. They could not be active under the Divine Protection.

“You are wrong. No surprise, since you’re just an ape.”

The True Ancestor laughed cheerfully.

“How many Archs did you turn into mist? Surely losing this many Archs will have a negative impact on future operations?”

“There is no need for you to act concerned.”

“So this is the final operation. In this mist, you will complete your ultimate goal.”

“Yes, we’ve always been trying to revive the Evil God. As I said before, this was never a secret.”

The True Ancestor’s expression was still filled with confidence.

“Besides, an ape like you would not be able to understand how we will accomplish it.”

“Should you really be that confident? After all, you are about to die here.”

“I do not fear death. As long as the Lord Evil God returns, my life means little.”

So not only was he sacrificing numerous Arch Vampires, but he meant to sacrifice himself as well.

(The return of the Evil God. The problem was the method…)

I thought about it while fighting.

There was no doubt that it was related to the magic circle that the True Ancestor was preparing while being concealed in the mist.

It looked similar to a teleportation circle, but was completely different.

It was only yesterday that I drew a magic teleportation circle that connected Marguerite’s mansion with the royal capital.

And so I could say with certainty that it was different.

That being said, I hadn’t been able to analyze this magic circle either.

It was too complicated. If I wanted to analyze it, I would have to take a seat and inspect it carefully. And that would take hours.

“I suppose you mean to sacrifice the citizens of the royal capital, in order to revive the Evil God?”

Even though I couldn’t analyze the magic circle, there were only so many actions that the enemy could take to achieve their goal.

“And so you had to destroy the divine protection, in order to enact your plan of using all of the dark ones to slaughter the people of this city?”

“…Hmph!”

The Trust Ancestor snorted. However, I thought I saw a moment of franticness in the depths of his eyes.𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖
