Chapter 15 - Canopy of the Dead

"What? You're kidding me, right?"
I was so scared that I almost spat out my breakfast when I heard Mary-sensei's words.
"Alicia says she's gone to level up, and that Prince tease has already started a war?"
"Yeah, Minya Bai said that the priest in charge of censorship is almost here."
"No, no, no, I don't care about that prince's tease, what's the matter if Aria runs away by herself, we agreed to level up together!?"
"I don't think you've ever said that before oh."
"Uh..."
Well, it did seem like it hadn't.
"But why did she run off on her own without any warning?"
I asked strangely.
"Wasn't she smiling and laughing yesterday?"
"Hey, you're a dead wood, it's because of the smile that's weird, usually when I see you like this she always starts to spit, she's right about everything that's weird, okay?"
"Yes?..."
"You're hopeless, hey, no more talking to you. Let's settle this side of things first, according to the feedback from Yabai, the priest who helped search should reach in an hour or two. But the prince has already put the other half of his knights under house arrest directly, and then the princess has been forced to send out the court magicians she has at her disposal, otherwise they wouldn't be able to defeat the king's army."
"Is it because of the Praetorian Guard? It's hopeless, they can't fight."
"Why?"
"Because those Praetorians are guys who know absolutely nothing about fear."
Just as if to match my words, a brilliant multicolored light shone from the direction of the palace. I quickly walked to the window and looked in the direction of the imperial palace.
In the sky above the palace, a colorful magic array was appearing one by one, wrapping the entire sky above the palace, while on the other side, a sound of crashing doors came from the direction of the main entrance of the palace.
Just as Mary-sensei had said, this battle to seize power over the palace had begun!
"Trouble, the original plan to get the Church to step in and help us wipe out some of the King's forces has gone up in smoke, is that prince comic on the wrong medication? I've clearly told him those Praetorians aren't human and he's still..."
Suddenly, I felt understanding of the prince's actions again.
"I see, has the other side already turned me into a power on the princess's side? So you want to make an early move so you can take control of the situation to gain power? Hey, really, power kills people."
"It's hard to find a job when you're not in your place,"
Mary-sensei laughed.
"Really? I rather think I'm actually just lazy."
I spread my hands.
"We'll just have to go straight on then, I don't know how much experience those combat figures have, but it's better than nothing. Let's go guys."
"Let's finish breakfast first."
Bai Yueguang said as he ate his cold noodles.
"Even if we go early or late those people must fight anyway, right? If they won't listen to our advice then they'll have to pay for it."
"Also..."
However, looking at the various dazzling magic blooming like fireworks in the palace, I felt a bit strange.
Even if that King guy was an idiot, there's no way he'd let them start a fight so directly, not to mention that King guy is a very cunning bastard, and although he's comical, someone who can crack the underground ruins isn't a simple guy.
"Mary-sensei, can you ask Alicia for me to say when she'll be back?"
"She said you might still be able to find her if you leave now."
Huh? What does this guy mean.
"Which direction?"
"She said you should know better, because you're good at deduction."
"What's the joke at a time like this..."
"Oh, she said she was joking, she'll come back when she wants to."
"It's..."
I hadn't finished my agony when I suddenly realized that the sound of magic being released and the sound of banging doors that had just been going on was fading away.
Also, the entire city began to quiet down!
"Hey, hey, hey, I always have a feeling that the BGM is starting to shift!"
I quickly drew the demon blade Blood Moon and walked over to the window.
"Are you still using that weapon? Can you master it now?"
Bai Yueguang asked, looking at the taijutsu in my hand.
"Because there's no weapon that's better at it, and besides, even if you stormed off, you still have that other sword on you, right?"
"Don't put your hopes on anyone else!"
"Let's not talk about that yet, we're in more trouble than that."
"Huh?"
My brow furrowed as I walked over to the window.
"The other side seems to be planning to give it a go."
Grey mist was slowly emerging from the palace across the street, and in an instant, it spread like a tidal wave to the surrounding city!
"Aaaaahhhhh!!!"
"Help!"
"What...what is this!?"
A succession of screams were heard from the city, and soon the fog was filling our area as well!
"Ew! Is this..."
I felt a very strong urge to spread my bone wings!
At the same time, an extraordinary and insane desire to destroy emerged from the heart!
"Canopy of the Dead? What the hell is that Henry guy..."
Then the floor began to tremble, and with a bang, a tower that reached to the sky was erected in the direction of the palace!
"Did someone accidentally start the Purgatory difficulty?"
I turned to you all and asked.
Everyone started shaking their heads and that meant one thing, that bastard King had opened the relic!
