World Customize Creator Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Facility control strategy

After spending an entire night leading the investigation group through the underground pa.s.sageway, the Darkness G.o.d Corp had arrived at the magical beast facility. At the top floor of Volance Palace within the king’s private quarters, King Esvobus was having a secret meeting with Reifold.

 

“It seems that his subordinates had misunderstood his situation.”

 

The observation had began since the meeting between Yussuke and Reifold at the nearby forest of Rufk, this answer was derived the other day through Reifold during the Driadria incident. Yuusuke who was merely a commoner who was given these “powers”. From the old stories that were being pa.s.sed down from various places, the “Evil G.o.d” would always make use and understand his “power”.

 

“About that thing~~”

“Eh, I haven’t spoken to anyone yet. But...I believe that they have already gotten the required power”

 

“Gazzetta is it….”

“Also the Blue Garden Queen. Originally, the power she is wielding should have been broken up and drained away.”

 

King Es...o...b..s let out a sigh as he began to understand their said actions. Reifold using his illusion technique on Yuusuke was not particularly the King’s instruction.

 

The acceptance towards the facilities blockade mission was ultimately in a form of persuasion of a.s.sumption. Reifold was personally curious about the existence of the evil G.o.d, so he tried to do a simple test.　

 

Being summoned from some other world, Yuusuke was seen as a commoner who possessed the “power of the evil G.o.d”. Zeshald, while concerned about the “awakening of the Evil G.o.d”, chose not to voice out his concerns since he didn’t have enough information.

King Esvobus reminded Reifold to not do any more rashful interfering and to increase the surveillance around Yuusuke as a form of bodyguard.

 

The sealing of the hidden pa.s.sages of Yuusuke’s mansion was almost done. Soldiers, whose sole duty were to monitor the mansion,  were unceremoniously added in.

 

“If they were to be taken and brainwashed by Gazzetta, it will become a big problem.”

“....that would be the worst case scenario in many different ways.”

 

“The history of Kaltcio was build on the G.o.ds competing using G.o.d’s pieces for supremacy, you are no exception in the act.”

 

“To desire or not, is it…. Do not rely on Zeshald now.”

 

The religious truth about the 4 G.o.ds which Queen Risha had said. Volnar – G.o.d of fire, Shalnar – G.o.d of water, Zalnar – G.o.d of earth, Fyolnar – G.o.d of wind.

 

Each of the different Divine art’s symbol of existence are represented by divine art users before the divine faith was created. The Nossentes’s Divine councils ancestors, the ones who had founded the faith of the 4 great G.o.ds, they created the concept of blessing powers to the divine arts people and murdered the existence of the evil G.o.d wizard, and under their leaders.h.i.+p, they created the faith of the 4 great G.o.ds to lead the people.

 

By using the power of the evil G.o.d, one could become the supreme ruler of that era. That is as an enemy, an ally, a terminus point, a starting point, an object of protection, a target to be defeated, the era will be shaped by that evil G.o.d with the various ways it knows.

 

“What kind of existence is Yuusuke, is he an avatar of the Evil G.o.d?”

 

 

Noon, one of the investigating group which arrived at the magical beast facility appeared to be on the grounds in preparation for the facility search. In order to secure and established a base of operations within the safety of the facility, they cleared away the weeds near the entrance to secure their resting place.

 

As Yusuke arrived, he immediately grasped the rough scale of the facility. A natural cave had been used to house the base, with many of the underground pa.s.sageway being human-made, using the customization menu, he could view the entire structure map of the facility from rooms to pa.s.sages.

 

“Captain, the corps preparations are all done.”

“Understood. I’ll open the entrance lane inform the first group.”

 

For the capture procedures, he used the customization menu to block all other entrances. After blocking up a certain range of the facility they began to push forward a search. Not knowing what would happened other than the connecting man-made object, they began relying on s.h.i.+nha’s group in that aspect.

 

First they began their exploration by scoping out the first floor’s pa.s.sages, which extended from the entrance to the interior hallways, from there they will extend the pa.s.sage horizontally and create a wall for a blockade. After securing the pa.s.sages, they would then begin searching  the individual rooms.

 

Because they couldn’t enter all at once, each group made a rotation cycle and their members will take turns to be responsible. The smaller groups will head into the safe and secured rooms to scavenge for remnants, measures were being taken so as there will not be any group that would move without permission.

 

“The first floor pa.s.sage have been safely secured, please confirm.”

“Ngh, shall I open this side rooms?”

 

“The safety is confirmed~, somehow there is a guard resting place, isn’t it a good thing ~ wait boy why are you complaining.”

“Haha, well next.”

 

The Darkness G.o.d Corps was commanding the troops on the surface while Yuusuke was setting up the blockade region within the facility, in order to control the situation, Vermeer and Fonke had to make round trips on site to the surface as messengers.

 

Due to the Evil G.o.d’s presence the magical beasts didn’t seem to be approaching, no one understood what was going on. But, they are still being vigilant as it is the basic foundation.

 

And at that rate, most of the rooms in front of the pa.s.sage on the first floor were being searched and explored without encountering any trouble. Once the first floor was fully explored, they began preparation for the exploration of the facility bas.e.m.e.nt as the next location.

 

“Captain, somehow it seems that there are two magical beast down the front and back of the right aisle.”

“The right aisle huh….isn’t that the closest place that is connected to the stairs going down?”

 

For the sake of safety, he first had to set a blockade wall on the right aisle. After affirming the safety of the left aisle, he would deploy the troops. After deploying the troops in front of the aisle, next he would open the right aisle and subdue the magical beasts.

 

“Don’t you think that if we were to take over wouldn’t it be faster?”

“Don’t be rash….”

 

Yuusuke declined s.h.i.+nha’s proposal to help, as he didn’t want to stand out. Although they have agreed to cooperate with Gazzetta, they were never in a comfortable position because in their homeland Gazzetta is seen as a hostile group. And they didn’t want too much stimuli.

 

s.h.i.+nha’s group headed back up to the surface for lookout duty, as the majority were with it.

 

“That said, that in the one in a thousand chance it becomes dangerous, we would like you to at least standby in the entrance of the pa.s.sage.”

“Fue, alright.”

 

 

Infront of the wall towards the right aisle, the explorer group gathered for their first ever anti-magical beast battle, they began to gather and prepare themselves, especially those with experience. Since they had watched Yuusuke’s group heading into the facility, the strike force were making preparations to support in any situation if anything had occurred.

 

Just as planned they deployed the divine arts attackers on the left aisle for a simultaneous attack. Even if the beast were not killed by the range attacks, considerable damage would have been done and the vanguard would be able to complete the subjugation on the weakened beast.

 

“The placement of the attacking group is completed.”

“Okay, I’ll open up the blockade.”

 

With Yuusuke’s signal, the wall began to lit up as it disappeared along with the small light particles. From the darkness of the right aisle, the growling of the magical beast could be heard. After confirming the target’s location, the first flame art attacks were released.

 

After 2 waves of flame bullets were fired, the wind blades followed through, last but not least lumps of ice which were formed by freezing the water ball, were being shot.

 

“It’s coming!”

“Be careful of the thing behind it!”

 

Two magical beast in this small aisle. Due to it’s huge body, most of the surprise attacks had landed on the front magical beast, while the one behind was practically uninjured and rushed towards the attackers. The vanguards used strengthening divine arts and raised their weapons to welcome the a.s.sault, while the second wave of attacks came flying past from behind.

 

The approaching beast pulled up his claws from the floor and lowered its stance to avoid the oncoming flame bullets and wind blades as it jumped up into the air.

 

“oOOOOOO!”

“Oi Bourem, don’t plunge in unreasonably!”

 

The former adventurer lept out from the left aisle to the main pa.s.sage to face the magical beast head on.

 

Shaking off his companion who tried to stop him, he slashed at the flank of the magical beast. However, due to the huge body and robust fur, his sword only inflicted a slight cut as it rebounded. Then, the beast which was injured by the first volley of attack began to approach.

 

“Quickly get down! If you’re there we can’t attack using Divine arts!”

“Uoooo!”

“d.a.m.n…. let’s go and support! Restrain the wounded one.”

 

The moment the vigorous and uninjured magical beast landed, it changed its target towards the powerless prey. His fellow group members were trying to cover Bouremzap the bold former adventurer who had recklessly rampaged, as he tried to restrain the magical beast.

 

The small open s.p.a.ce in the aisle suddenly became a close quarter combat~~

 

“s.h.i.+nha!”

“Ou”

 

s.h.i.+nha and his artless warrior immediately responded to Yuusuke’s call. The artless warrior took the opportunity and used his s.h.i.+eld to slam the magical beast snout while striking down on the crown of it’s head with his sword as the mercenaries cast their divine arts and used their spears to stab the magical beast and seal it’s movement.

 

Due to that powerful strike, it caused the magical beast to fell back on it’s b.u.t.t as though it was in a “sitting” position.

 

“Now!”

 

Without a moment’s delay the artless warrior pulled back as the multi fire of divine arts was released onto the stuck beast to finish it off.

 

On the other side, the magical beast which was slashed by Bouremzap used its claws and lashed at the sword. It then adopted a lower posture with its fangs ready to strike at any time, but suddenly it jumped back as if knowing that there was danger.

 

‘Oh, this fella is adapting.”

 

s.h.i.+nha who was holding onto the white sword came slicing in, while judging that this magical beast had battle experience with humans due to his agile movement.

 

Tools were created by humans, as we are animals which have vulnerable bodies that needs protecting, to counter this powerlessness we had to gain powerful strength to fight against wild beasts. But even so, to use a blade against  the ironhide and the piercing teeths of a magical beast with a human body that is fragile and easily broken.

 

s.h.i.+nha drew back his sword which had sank into the floor and began to set up his stance, as the magical beast backed away slowly while growling.

 

Wondering where did this fragile human who wore craggy leather armor and didn’t have any presence who b.u.t.ted into the fight. As it believed that the fight would end with it chewing him into a thousand pieces. This was the look that was currently representing the thoughts of the magical beast.

 

“Uooooo~~”

 

Changing its killing target to s.h.i.+nha from Bouremzap, as the magical beast evaded by jumping back away from s.h.i.+nha who had used his sword skill at it. Bouremzap had been tossed aside by the beast as it evade s.h.i.+nha’s strike, his fellow group members rush over to him. At the same time, the magical beast kicked the floor and leapt towards s.h.i.+nha.

 

“Ngg!”

*Buo~o~tsu* the sound of the wind being cut by the great sword that was raised over his head as s.h.i.+nha seized the opportunity to strike towards the ceiling with all his might at the magical beast which was currently in the air. The concept of “exception” of the powerless human, did not exist in the magical beast mind.

 

Perplexed to the unknown damage that was being thrown towards it, the magical beast was struggling to try and balance from the fall. And then, the great sword that was swung in full strength and driven into it. *Zus.h.i.+n* the sound of impact, the magical beast was skewered to  the floor.

 

Merely 2 sword strikes. If Bouremzap had not recklessly attacked, they would not have discovered the artless warrior’s strength, those that regarded Gazzetta as hostile began to have a tense expression.

 

Being hostile to Gazzetta, equals confronting the artless warriors. ‘Do you have the guts?’

 

“Oi! Why did you take my prey!”

“Stop Bourem! Calm down.”

 

The silence was broke by the mercenary member who remonstrated with an angry voice. Bouremzap was in a current state of agitation due to the appearance of s.h.i.+nha’s group who supported and finished off the magical beast, while the other mercenaries and adventurer group had doubtful voices of being insensitive.

 

Realising it would result in an inevitable death, Bouremzap’s fellow mate pinned him down and whispered something into his ears before he reached s.h.i.+nha which caused his face to tighten. In an instant it turned silent. Within the tension filled air, s.h.i.+nha and his entourage headed back to the entrance of the pa.s.sage.

 

“Thanks for the hard work…..wait did you say something?”

“Easy this kind of standard is not a big deal…..but, to employ that kind of ally isn’t he crude?”

 

“Ng~well, that was certainly a dangerous atmosphere.”

 

Somehow it seems that Bouremzap had calmed down, as Yuusuke looked towards the mercenary group and took a step back.

The other Darkness G.o.d Corps members more or less knows about his situation, while risking everyone else to danger, it’s hard to blame who was in the wrong here.

 

 

Afterwards, the dead body of the magical beasts were processed and the secured first floor was being restructured as a base of operation for the bas.e.m.e.nt exploration. While Yuusuke was delegating a room for each of the groups, the leader of the mercenary group Bouremzap belonged to came to apologize.

 

“I am very sorry. I will prevent reckless actions from happening in the future battle, please do not exclude us from the exploration team.”

 

According to the mercenary group leader, he had once been in a dangerous place, due to that he trained to increase his skills as an adventurer and became a pillar of the group, up until now they had been closing their eyes towards his recklessness.

 

This was his first time being reckless by freaking out, thus the members were bewildered.

 

“Well, it’s not unreasonable.”

“At this rate, sooner or later he might get killed in a fight with the magical beast.”

 

The mercenary leader promised that Bourem would come over personally to apologize and he headed back to his group. And then, Yuusuke explained and summarized to the former adventurer Bouremzap, that s.h.i.+nha’s gang had come to investigate the situation in the woods.

 

“I understand your resolution. But more than putting yourself in the face of battle, of course there must also be proper timing to separate from your fellow comrades.”

“Ng~, I thought there wasn’t any problem for a brief split.”

 

Yuusuke growled at s.h.i.+nha’s quite unsparing words that came out of his mouth after some dry thinking. Ayuuka sighed while listening to the argument of the two.

 

“It’s not easy to get accustomed to losing close friends and loved one. In order not to be driven into insanity one must deceive their heart.”

 

This is the fate of the one who had to live for eternity. An endless repeat of separation. As one who knew its sorrow, her words held weight.

 

“In any case, I am feeling hungry. Is dinner ready yet?”

“....”

 

“....”
