My eyes instantly shot towards the guy who shot the arrow and it was an archer that had the arrow with point accuracy trying to at least hit one of us. Using the magic from the fire element I used [Explosion] right on top of the person, instantly killing him.
Damnit! How could I become so careless and let a shadow arrow hit Sora in the chest area? I looked at the wound where Sora was shot at and saw that the arrow was still in her body and took it out, leaving a mark with blood gushing out at a speedy rate. The only thing that is on my mind is that it didn't hit any of the more important areas of the body.
I opened up the hatch that leads to my underground and instantly used [Shadow Sneak] to cover ground while I have Sora in my arms rushing towards my healing facility just in case I get hurt. Tearing off Sora's maid outfit I looked at the wound more carefully and gotten a healing potion and poured the whole thing on the wound.
The healing potions boost up the rate of regeneration at a faster rate instantly but it wasn't enough as the hole was still there. Something is stopping the healing potion from working at all. But what is it? Did that arrow have some sort of toxic that cancels out potion related items?
Shit! If that is case, I need to get rid of the toxic materials that inside of her at the moment. There are 2 way to handle a situation, one of them is to get the medicine to get rid of it, the other choice is suck it out using my mouth.
I don't have any idea what kind of poison it is and how much time that is left on the clock. Another thing that will give me trouble is the fact that my knowledge of poisons are extremely limited.
So, I looked at Sora for a bit, more specifically where her chest area was, and saw the wound, seriously the things I do for friends. I sighed before started sucking on the wound, feeling the poison in my mouth, I spit it out on the floor.
I need to patch out this thing so the damage done to her body is finished before Sora bleeds to death. Well, that was what I am thinking, but as I was about to reach for the healing potion the hole instantly was healed just like that.
What the hell is this?!? The wound just suddenly disappeared like it wasn't there to begin with. Does she have some sort of healing ability that I don't know about? Sora is still unconscious though, so there is that as well.
I put a blanket over the girl with her large chest bouncing out. Seriously, I need to stop being such a pervert or else it will haunt me one day. I contemplated to myself before walking out of the medical area and out where my room was.
I took a glance towards the whole entire room and sighed as everything was either covered in blood or is absolutely demolished. Now, let's investigate who these guys that attacked me are.
I looked at the wreckage of the left over dead guys and found that they all wears the same uniform which was black clothes with a 2 doted mask covering their faces. For now, I won't get any information on where they are from with just their outfits, so maybe their weapons…
My eyes went to a short blade on the floor next to a body torn in half, I took the blade in my hand and examine it to find out who might have created the weapon, allowing me to track down which country might be behind this. Every person has a style when it comes to smithery but they have something they based it on, so I'm trying to check for that.
It looks like the sword is very sharp and durable with a hint of magic enchantments. This sword is high military material, about high-low in the spectrum of weaponry, so basically this is for the normal elite soldiers in the army because the higher ones get much more enchantment and is made out of the strongest known as adamantine.
If I look around myself all these weapon are high level but not in my book anyway. This tells me these people really want me dead and the poison that threw off to the side was lying there.
From what I can see the arrow has a specific kind of poison that negate healing factors and is deadly when it comes to spreading. Good thing I finally acted like a man and sucked the poison out before it reached any important vital parts in the body.
All these tools are based on the Añdosa Manîla Style which is for speed and one-hit kills. Everything here has some sort of poison on their blades and I think that it might come have come from the Mairãde Kingdom which are known for their stealthy assassinations missions they carry out.
The Mairãde Kingdom probably wants me dead, so they can cause the war between the 2 nation and swoop in for the power grab. Even a weakened leaderless Empire can handle them, which tells me they are planning to make alliances with other groups to help them in their endeavours.
Oh my, this is quite the big political deal they made right now, if I were to tell the officials on my findings than I can easily break apart their plan. That would be boring though, so why not make them beg on the ground and crush them with my shoes for doing such a thing.
They must be thinking that, since their planned failed they would try to make another country take the fall for it. Well, first things first, I need to check up on Sora before anything else and prepare my defences just in case an intruder wanted to shoot another fireball.
I took whatever measure I can, before I stepped into my underground den yet again. This will certainly be a long day tomorrow when all hell breaks loose, and I will be in the forefront of it all.
I go to Sora who was lying on the small bed in the medical ward with her hands on the pillow. Sora was awake with her eyes opens and looked around herself before staring at her mountain below her.
"Damnit! If only I had Zenith with me!"
She screamed at herself while looking at her hands for a couple of seconds.
"Who/what is Zenith?"
I said to her while my back was on the wall of the building with my arms crossed together. She looked at me a little shocked by my sudden appearance near the wall with her eyes locked on to mine.
"You surprised me there, well, Zenith is a really good weapon of mine that I kept a hold on throughout my days."
She said while taking a breather, letting me contemplate about this weapon Zenith. What!?! Sora has a weapon!?! I thought she was the behind scenes kind of person that is more fitting of a manipulator.
"Zenith is a cursed spear that forces the users to wield it or else the person gets attacked by negative effect of having only the capacity of using 10% of their abilities."
That is an insane effect! Seriously, I didn't really notice that she was weak because of the fact that Sora killed like 15 people like nothing with just the ice element alone. Well, I could have killed everyone if I brought out my tools and finished the fight much earlier but there is still the risk of the Inquisition finding out.
"The reason why I took the weapon is because it can pierce through a Fire Emperor Dragon in one strike and gives you an enormous supply of mana and health by just holding the weapon.
That is an enormous advantage! Not only do you not need to get health potions to heal you but it's a regenerative effect making you be able to handle attribute battles and win easily."
The Fire Emperor Dragon, is a beast among beast who has the capability of destroying a whole nation without even trying. There is also the fact that it is damn near impossible to hit or hurt because of its mobility and tough armor.
"Wait! How do you know it was able to pierce something of that caliber?"
I said just realizing what she said about piercing that monster.
"Oh, about that I went dragon hunting before and bumped into one who seemed pretty pissed about me killing his normal fire dragon brother or something."
Sora said with a teehee face while looking at me who was stunned when she said 'dragon hunting'.
"Well, did you at least kill it?"
I said with a question mark above my head as I looked at her with my red eyes.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
"About that, I didn't really kill him since he escaped using his speed, so I have no idea where he is gone but I still think he is still pissed off at me for tearing his arm off."
My eyes went blank as I started to laugh uncontrollably as I stared at the girl who had winked at me. Not only do I have people trying to assassinate me, now I have a freaking dragon going to tear a new whole into my friend. What. the. fuck!
"One last thing before I go insane but how did you heal."
She put her finger on her face in a thinking manner before answer my question.
"Well, since I am still the owner of the spear, it heals me even if I am not close to it and keeps me alive until something actually kills me."
Okay that's all the questions needed for the moment, time I go to bed before my brain gets fried.
...
{Back to the Masloc Kingdom palace}
Hello! It's me your favorite magic scientist/fighter/torturer Cordelia Lorain! Now, I am a magic caster that was part of the Lunark Kingdom which had been put on halt after the reformation of leadership inside the country.
I was planning on helping out my friend Rin who had been crown king after his father was overthrown. Well, that was my before plan but now I have been thrown into a different world with a cute blond young king staring at me flabbergasted that he summoned a beautiful girl.
I don't blame you, at least when it came to staring at my boobs for like 5 minutes now. Well, what does Mr. King here wants with me all of a sudden, going as far as using a summoning spell to get me over here?
Are you being invaded by demons who weren’t the first one to attack? This is probably the case yet again, as history has told multiple times that people use lies to make people do whatever they want.
Well, what is it going to be Mr. King? I smirked as I introduced my name to him as he tries to keep his composure up. What a cute little King but that is not something I want at the moment, what I really want is information on why they summoned ME the freaking head of the Institution of Magic Technology or in short IMT.
I looked towards who is quick enough to get his composure under control and looked towards my eyes this time.
"Miss Cordelia, my apologies for not introducing myself earlier but I am King Lounque Là Palico of the Masloc Kingdom."
Lounque said while looking straight at me in the eyes while blushing a little bit to himself. My opinion of him just got better, but that still doesn't tell me the reason for him summoning me all of a sudden.
"Knights escort miss Cordelia with me towards my meeting room."
I saw the 2 Knights nod with their heads and go behind me and waiting for me to move by myself. I followed the King who was in front of me with his arms right behind his back giving a majestic feeling as he walked off.
I looked over the hall I was in and everything else, trying to analyze anything that is recognizable or helps me now where I am at.
"Oh yea, why am I able to understand you so well?"
I asked the king who was ahead of me at the moment with his hands behind his back. He probably doesn't know anyway so, why I did I asked him? Well, there is that chance he would know.
"Oh yes, the summoning we used has a translation feature that allows the summoned person to be able to converse with us, even if we're from different worlds."
This guy is good, I will say that for sure because he seems to be studying about summoning spells. Well, this place is pretty with marble white pillars that go across the hallway that has magic enchantments to hold off from attacks I guess.
The painting also, depicts a good image of all the rulers that probably had led the country before him. We reached the room as the line of pillars seemed to end with a white door in front of us at the moment.
We entered the room with the door opening up slowly as I looked around in this large room with a round table in the middle of it. This is obviously where most of the meeting of the high officials of this country go to, but for some reason it's empty without a soul insight.
"Ladies first."
The king said with his hands showing the way for me to go inside.
"Wow, quite the gentlemen are you not?"
I said and went inside before sitting down on the chair to the right of the table. The king sat at the front of all the chairs while facing me with his eyes closed at me. The Knights stood outside and closed the door to the room, leaving only me and the king to ourselves.
"Okay mister Lounque what is the big deal of summoning me this time?"
He opened his eyes to look at me with his arms on the table while his sitting posture was very proper.
"I want your help to-"
I interrupted him in the middle of his sentence to finish it for him.
"Yea, yea defeat the demon lord and then you will open a portal back to my world where I can leave happily ever after, am I right?"
He blinked a couple of times before staring right at me again.
"Well, no not this time, I guess you were expecting it because almost everyone always does that nowadays but today you have another choice on your hands for today."
He stopped for a couple of second to catch his breath before following up what he was about to say.
"You are to help me in my endeavors to help me betray my allies and prevent one of the biggest war in human history from happening."
What the the fuck!?! Why is the king so straight about betraying his own allies!?!
"Is anyone eavesdropping on us at the moment?"
I said quickly to make sure this guy just didn't forgot about the chances of being heard by someone.
"No, I made sure to make this room entirely made from anti sound barrier and I put a smaller barrier around us to make sure we aren't being heard."
What a cunning man. I didn't even notice the barrier until I focus my sense to get a closer glimpse of it.
"You are good...but do you really think I'm just going to just accept it like nothing?"
I said as he smiled at me with his devious personality of his to just suddenly betray his allies.
"Well, I already knew a situation like this would happened so I prepared myself to make a deal with you."
He said with a smile on his face because he had planned out everything from the very beginning.
"You see, the summoning spell I used allows me to summon a person with traits that person has, one of the traits being magic genius."
This is some high level spell he got there, that I haven't learned at all! Seriously, are they really ahead of me when it comes to the summoning spell game?
"I know where you are getting at, you want me to help with whatever you are planning and to trade it off with information on the magic technology you used here."
He smiled as I seemed to have caught on with what he was planning to do.
"You see, our country the Masloc Kingdom is developing magic spells set on high priority at the moment, our summoning spell just now was probably the newest and improved version second to the Temerian Empire's."
I looked at him and sighed, this guy is way too good at making people do deals with him but what does he want with me? It's not like I have the influence in this world to destroy a nation or anything.
"Fine, I will accept but it's not like I have the influence to change the geopolitical stage or anything."
"You can help out with your knowledge of magic and give me advice on what moves I'm going to make."
This guy really thought out his plan very well didn't he?
"Those are plans for later, but there is a task I want you to accomplish for me and that is to attend the Torian Academy and get close to the person who might set off the largest war ever."
I raised my eyebrows as I looked at this cunning fox king.
"And who might this person be?"
"His name is Suno Temerian."
