With a teleportation slash forming in front my eyes, I immediately gave a nod to say goodbye to Mio and my twin sisters.

"I’m going to pick up my stealth slime herd who is on duty to find important information about Earl Timoti’s residence," I said as I stepped into the teleportation slash created by my cursed Odachi.

As I walked into the teleportation slash, I could hear Alice and Alyssa’s words as they sent me off to pick up the stealth slime herd.

"Please come back soon after picking up the stealth slime herd, Onee-sama!" Alice said while waving her hand at me.

"Lily-nee... don’t forget to come back safely and be careful while picking up the stealth slime herd!" said Alyssa with a smile as she sent me off.

"Lily-sama, please don’t make a scene in the middle of the night like this. Especially in a region where Marquess Rommel’s allies live," Mio said to emphasize that all I was going to do was pick up a herd of stealth slimes.

I just smiled to answer their words.

"Why do I look like I want to do something terrible in Earl Timoti’s residence?" I grumbled with a smile and a joking tone.

My body slowly walked into the teleportation slash that was connected to the stables in Earl Timoti’s residence. The moment I stepped into Earl Timoti’s stables, I was immediately greeted by heavy rain and a huge storm.

The flashes of thunder that filled the sky of Earl Timoti’s residence seemed to cover the slash of the cursed Odachi that had torn the sky. The heavy rain that fell after my departure was filled with a strangeness that I could easily feel.

"Isn’t this... a rainstorm that was intentionally created using magical energy?" I said in a flat tone and enjoyed every drop of rain that wet my body.

At that very moment, I suddenly felt a strange gaze coming from someone who was looking at me from the sky.

The sharp gaze was directed at me who had just emerged from the teleportation slash.

"Hmm?" Tilting my head to look at the source of the sharp gaze, I saw someone flying in the sky wearing a suspicious black robe.

"Momo, do you feel what I’m feeling right now?" I asked Momo after I felt a wave of magical energy that was similar to a cursed sword.

After my encounter with another cursed sword, I could easily sense the waves of the cursed sword, which were recognizable due to their rough nature, affecting all my body’s senses.

"Yes, my Monarch. It was a magical wave from one of my cursed sword sisters who were able to manipulate the weather like this," Momo replied, feeling the waves of magical energy spreading in the air around me.

"So, I wasn’t wrong to feel this destructive wave of magic. Is this a change in the weather caused by it?" I continued to ask as I walked towards the edge of Earl Timoti’s stables to take shelter for a moment.

The cold and rainy weather made my body feel strange after wearing a military uniform designed to withstand cold weather, even in the middle of the night, it can’t withstand stormy weather in the middle of the night like this.

Even with weather like this, I will continue my sleep accompanied by the sound of heavy rain like this.

"Nice weather to sleep in, don’t you think?" I said after feeling the presence of someone behind me.

As I said that sentence, I glanced at the presence of someone wearing a black robe with a hood covering it face standing straight behind me.

Without showing any signs of wanting to fight me, I felt like I was looking at a puppet that was being controlled remotely like a magic spell that controlled animals remotely.

My eyes, which are sensitive to magical energy, saw a thread of magic controlling the figure in front of me.

Like the sound of wood being forced to move, I could see the face of this vague figure from the darkness of the night around it.

This figure in the darkness was connected to the figure that was flying above Earl Timoti’s residence.

"Isn’t it rude to talk to me using an intermediary like this?" I said, paying attention to each of it stiff steps.

"Can’t you come down and talk to me like a normal person?" I continued while directing my gaze at the figure flying above the sky.

My ears suddenly heard a loud falling sound from the figure in front of me who was being controlled by the figure flying above the sky.

"It seems like you can’t be fooled that easily," it said in a strange voice that seemed to be disguised by man heavy tone.

"Even a novice mage would be aware of this kind of technique, now... can you get down before I make you get down?" I replied in a cold tone telling him to get down.

"I’m not stupid enough to get down and take your surprise attack," he replied as he motioned to the strange figure in front of me who had gotten back up after falling.

"If you don’t want to come down, can I know what type of cursed sword you are using? I am quite interested in its ability to manipulate the weather like this."

"..."

Silence suddenly enveloped me and my ears could only hear the sound of heavy rain accompanied by the sound of thunder.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Time passed for quite a long time in silence before I heard the words spoken by the figure in front of me.

"What are you talking about?"

"Cursed sword? What is that?"

Somehow I felt like I heard someone pretending to be stupid in denying my previous question.

With his efforts to deny it like this, I realized that he was a member of a cult that was actively moving behind the scenes like this.

"You do realize that lie useless to me, right?" I said, baiting him into admitting that he was using the cursed sword to manipulate the weather like this.

"N-No, I have no idea what you’re talking about at this point!" he shouted in a loud, heavy tone.

With such unstable answers, I am attracted to this easily manipulated figure.

"Forget what I said before, I already knew it was a cursed sword from the start after feeling the waves of magical energy mixed with raindrops like this," I said while watching the strange figure flying above the sky of Earl Timoti’s residence.

"If you continue to lie like that, then I will have to take extreme action that will make you regret it," I said in a sarcastic tone that mocked him.

"What can you do?" he replied quickly.

"I am currently in the sky like this and you are in front of my attacking puppet, you are the one who will regret provoking me like this!"

"Fufu... I warned you about this, but you didn’t listen properly. Don’t blame me if this hurts a little... Aiko... Sirius... I leave it to you," I said in a calm tone while feeling the presence of Aiko and Sirius approaching me.

With their bodies hidden in the darkness and from the falling rain, I could see a clean slash coming from Sirius destroying the puppet figure in front of me while Aiko turned towards the sky to deliver a slash to the figure flying above the sky.

A clean slash by Sirius managed to destroy the puppet figure that was being controlled by a mysterious figure flying in the sky.

On the other hand, I could see several herd of stealth slimes firing a water-cut magic spell towards the mysterious figure flying in the sky along with Aiko’s attack as she was darting her body towards the mysterious figure.

From my perspective on the ground like this, I seemed to see a combination attack from Aiko who wanted to cut down the mysterious figure flying in the sky along with the water-cut magic chant that had locked onto its target.

While I was watching Aiko’s attack, it managed to hit its target and fall. As the mysterious figure fell after receiving Aiko’s attack, I could see water-cut attacks from several stealth slimes that hit his body perfectly.

That deadly combination of attacks made me want to do the same.

To that end, I immediately pulled the hilt of my cursed Odachi to deliver a slash capable of splitting the sky.

With a pull on the handle of my cursed Odachi, who felt heavy like this, I began to channel the magical power of the Monarch of Holy Destruction and pulled the handle of the cursed Odachi... who felt heavy like this.

The pull of my hand on the hilt of the cursed Odachi began to create a slashing trajectory that contained the power of the Monarch of Holy Destruction.

The long slash produced by my cursed Odachi suddenly created a trail of great destruction that now tore through the sky of Earl Timoti’s main city.

My cursed Odachi slash left a trail of destruction that occurred a second time in Earl Timoti’s main city.

"I’m pretty sure this is going to freak people out when they wake up in the morning and see it," I said as I watched my cursed Odachi slash out of control like before.

The attack I made seemed a bit too much.

Compared to the water-cut magic attack that only gave a small wound to the mysterious figure, my attack destroyed his body until only an arm was left holding a cursed sword that was falling from the sky.

"U-Uhm, did I just give him a finishing blow that was too much for him to handle?" I said awkwardly.

"My Monarch, that wasn’t just an too much... it was an overkill attack that caused a human’s body to melt and evaporate instantly to death without a trace like that!" Momo said in an excited tone about this.

"What are you saying Momo, didn’t you see his fallen arm? That wasn’t an attack that melted someone’s body without a trace," I said to refute Momo’s previous statement.

"My Monarch... it’s the same!"

"..."

At Momo’s last words, I suddenly felt my vision become foggy like in the morning. The sound of heavy rain accompanied by flashes of thunder immediately disappeared and was replaced by a thin fog that was getting thicker.

It was at that moment that I realized that the attack I had done earlier had caused the weather conditions in Earl Timoti’s main city to change rapidly after the wielder of the cursed sword that could control the weather died foolishly.

"Aiko, can you bring the severed arm of the hand holding the cursed sword to me?" I said to Aiko through the Soul Tame communication channel.

"And for the stealth slime herd that is on duty, gather immediately before going home," I continued while looking at the teleportation slash that had not yet closed in front of my eyes.
