ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 416: Side Story 13 – Pulling Out the Main Role – Part 2
If you think about it calmly, the situation may indeed look pretty grim here, but the trust that Deepslaughter managed to cultivate here caused E-Miria to not ask any further questions and only take the woman for her word.
There was no reason for E-Miria to doubt Deepslaughter. Especially since Deepslaughter came to her first with a kind of information that might have been considered to be top secret. And that was Deeplslaughter’s most favorite interpretation. That’s the virtue of trust…… But it’s also a sign of great carelessness.
「And we must not forget about Noirlind. Nobody knows where it is at the current moment, but we cannot disregard the possibility that it is going to come here once more to wreck havock.」
That was also a fact. Of course, it was also a fact that one could not possibly tinker with the coordinates of the random teleportation spell. That is, if you are not Deepslaughter. For there was nothing that was deemed impossible for Deepslaughter, since she was in the possession of the tools that could make impossible possible.
Sometimes she would fly towards the village of the Giants. Sometimes she would scout the place around the frontline base in bodies that were not her own. But no matter how many time she would teleport and at what coordinates, she was unable to find the Black Dragon Noirlind. Green Dragon, Red Dragon, White Dragon? Sure, she had that covered. But the Black Dragon? Not a single trace.
And many people would literally kill for a possibility of having a power to be able to watch and observe the entire world from the bird-eye view perspective. In that regard, the woman had no actual idea just how lucky and blessed she was.
In fact, when it comes to Deepslaughter she tends to treat this whole Dragon Disaster War idea as one big joke and nothing more.
「Better to let the other players know about this. I don’t want us getting caught by surprise like the last time.」
As the three players descend down the castle tower, one of them spoke up just like that.
「Well, of course, we need to do that. However, I thought that it would be best to let you know before anyone else in here. If I were to put any estimates at the time of the dragons’ arrival it would be…… About ten days from now on? I think?」
And with that,
「–––– No, actually, the invasion will be in eight days from now on.」
There was a dignified voice and a smiling figure at the bottom of the stairs. She was waiting for the players right there, since she had no entry to the castle tower herself. All because she was no member of E-Miria’s battle party.
「…… If it isn’t Lady Saint. Good day to you. You seem to be in a good mood.」
「Yes, indeed I am, Deepslughter-san……」
This was the very first meeting of Deepslaughter and this NPC that she had no memories of. However, the fact that this unknown NPC was able to address her by her player name having no prior knowledge of her was more than enough to ruin Deepslaughter’s mood and cause her expression to change dramatically. However, being no amateur, Deepslughter did not let her true colors and expression be visible for long. Soon enough she regained her composure and put on a new mask of calm and collected expression.
「In eight days…… You say?」
「Yes, indeed…… Although I have no way of confirming it or making the picture clearer, however…… This vision I had this time around was way sharper and more realistic than ever before.」
Hearing the words of the Saint that sounded pretty much like a future prediction, tvhe three players on the stairs all looked at the Saint and then opened their eyes in disbelief. Seeing that sort of reaction to her beloved Saint of Charity’s words, Joset who was accompanying her looked as though she considered that reaction to be quite outlandish.
「They…… The dragons are coming. And they will also be here. The Black Dragon, the root of E-Miria-san’s anger and…… The Golden Dragon Emperor. They shall all converge here in the nearby future.」
According to the words of the Saint, it looks like all of the Dragons beside the Blue Dragon Eldranza are going to be here soon. Same for Noirlind and Siegwurm. No matter how one tend to look at this, this was big and gravely dangerous news.
Some people break into cold sweat upon hearing this. Some people smile. And others…… Others ask the Saint.
「Why would the Dragons want to gather hear of all places? And at a strange time like that?」
「Fufufu…… I’m sure that out of all people gathered here, you should know the reason perfectly well, Deepslaughter-san.」
「…… Hmm.」
A roundabout answer. Fortunately, only Deepslaughter was able to get the meaning behind that answer. Others just looked puzzled beyond belief.
While the Saint turns toward E-Miria, Deepslaughter smiled in a dark and sinister way, only for her usual mask to come back onto her face moment later.
「That’s how it is, E-Miria-san. In the light of the upcoming events, I advise you to vacate the whole place, just so that you can avoid suffering needless casualties.」
「No, there’s no need for that. This time around there won’t be any casualties….. because this is exactly what this place was erected for.」
「In that case, would you like for me to pass the news to others, E-Miria-san?」
「Yes, I would very much appreciate that.」
From this day onward, the Pioneers of the front line base would start preparing for the decisive battle alongside the Anti-Noirlind faction, following the lead of E-Miria and Saint Iristella.
「Hmm, hmm…… I wonder if this was some sort of the log reference out there…… Could it be that someone managed to find something I wanted to left burned? Oh well, it doesn’t really matter all that much either way.」
Deepslaughter mutters to herself while walking through the empty corridors of the Skull Azuchi Castle.
It only took a little push in the right direction to agitate the Red Dragon so much that it decided to move out, thinking its going to be triumphant.
A few lies here and there made it easy to fan the flames of curiosity and interest of the Green Dragon, sending it on the move.
Thanks to the false information and false hope, the White Dragon decided to migrate in search of the better tomorrow.
The only real concern here was the Black Dragon, because it could not be normally encountered on the map with certain actions taken. However, its appearance was assured by a certain NPC named Saint.
And just like that, the stage is all set. And the woman who was about ready to bring the disaster right to the player’s very doorstep just so that she could drag one particular person into the spotlight takes her mask off, smiling devilishly to herself.
「Now, things are finally getting exciting, wouldn’t you agree…… Sanraku-kun? I wonder…… will you be able to show me yet another good time?」
The number of days left until the decisive battle: eight.
