"Please remember what I asked" She said to Arima
"Yeah, I'll bring the Pope to you, I want to talk to him anyway, so I won't kill him on the spot" He said with a smirk on his face.
After that, he headed to the elven town and told quickly to Lifa and Elia that he would begin his plan and then flew toward the capital of Terses. The elven king was one more time frustrated because he left without meeting him.
Arima used 'Atlantis' and was already looking at the capital of the kingdom just twenty minutes after he left the smithy.
"That was fast" Night commented.
"Well, we have to do our job" Arima said and walked toward the capital. After entering, he headed straight to the castle. The guards knew him and were told to let pa.s.s him every time he comes so he entered easily.
Of course, the king immediately arranged a meeting, not in the throne room, but a private one with only the royal family and Arima, alone.
When he entered the room, he was greeted by the queen and her daughter along with the king who was now healed.
"You're Arimane, right? I'm Raol Terses, thank you for saving me" The king said in a thankful voice.
"Don't mind too much, I did it for a reason" Arima said
"I see, then what do you want?" Raol cut to the main point.
"Well, right now, I want you to cooperate with the Alliance to help their integration in the human territory" Arima directly told him his motive.
The king furrowed "How do you want me to do that?" He asked
"Simple, just let them in the country and leave them live alone with the same rights as your subjects" Arima said
"That would be troublesome, you know well that some n.o.bles won't accept and the slave dealers are quite influential" Raol rejected
"That won't be a problem, in two days they will disappear forever" Arima said like he just stated an obvious thing.
The king took a strange expression and the queen paled "That would pose a problem truthfully" Raol said
"No, it won't, I will just make them disappear, I will not do anything with their possessions. You can prepare some people to take over their place, of course, no one will ever know what happened to those people. But, be sure that I'll completely destroy the slave trade system" Arima said
The king began to ponder. Arima saved his life so it's a given that he will accept one of his demands but getting rid of the n.o.bles would be dangerous and some of them are not even the capital anymore. Also, the war is still going on.
"To help you decide, I can tell you that the Emperor and the Pope of the Empire will also disappear in this week" Arima said and grinned.
The king shuddered and looked deeply at Arima "You can do it. From the beginning, I was against the slavery and the chase of other races, that was just my father" He paused "I can give you the information about some of them if you want" He said
"I will gladly accept. That will save me a lot of time" Arima smiled.
After that, the king gave Arima a list of names and the place they are supposed to be now. He thanked the king and left, he also learned that the person who put that cursed stone in his meal was the prime minister, the latter was sentenced to be executed.
Outside the castle, Arima looked at the list and memorized everything on it. There were fourteen n.o.bles and slave dealers who were on this 'to be eliminated' list. Five of the n.o.bles and two slave dealers were still in the capital.
He waited for the night to fall. For the first n.o.ble, he chose the most influential one. He arrived in front of a mansion.
"[Vitae Index]" Arima used a detection magic and spotted each living person. There were around twenty guards and ten servants. He saw that the master of this place was having some fun with a woman.
"[Ira]" Arima called and pointed his gun at the mansion.
"What are you doing?" Night asked
"Cleaning effectively" He then fired exactly 21 times in four seconds, he had to reload in the middle of it but it was so fast, thanks to the soul binding, that no one would realize even if they concentrated. Of course, Arima made a soundproof barrier around the gun before firing to avoid wake up everyone around.
The bullets he fired pa.s.sed through the walls of the mansion and hit their targets, destroying heads and hearts.
Then instantly after, he conjured 21 range circles which absorbed the bodies and blood of each one of them and sent them in Arima's storage.
The ones he killed were only the guards and the n.o.ble, as for the servants he just sent a concentrated aura to make them faint.
Then Arima burned the bodies in his storage and spread the ashes in front of the mansion.
"Next" He said and left. Not once did he enter the mansion, he just stayed in front of it, then left.
********************************
After an hour, he finished all the n.o.bles and one of the slave dealers.
While walking in the night, Arima played with Ira "You seem to be having fun" Night said on the side.
Arima smiled "Of course, it's fun for me to use this kind of gun. Also…" He smirked and looked at Night "Haw many can really say that they don't enjoy killing? Particularly someone like me"
Night didn't respond.
Arima called back Ira "Well, there is on only one left in the capital, but this one I'll need to do it differently" He said.
A few minutes later, he arrived in front of another residence. This time he entered directly by the front door, the guard in front tried to stop him but before he could say anything his heart was pierced a by a bolt of lightning and died.
Arima took Ira and fired in a random-looking way, but each of his shots. .h.i.t a different target and killed every time. He walked leisurely while shooting until there wasn't any guard left, he stopped in front of a big door, he kicked it and entered, this room looked like an office, there was a middle-aged guy s.h.i.+vering in fear in the corner of the room.
Arima walked to him, he grabbed him by the collar and raised him "Look at me in the eyes" He said.
At that moment, a blue flame ignited in Arima's eyes "[Penitentia conspiciunt] (Penance stare)" Arima chanted and the man wailed in agony before turning limp and drop on the ground, the latter's eyes looked like they were transformed in stone.
Arima actually just took the memories of this man and killed him in the process, what he wanted to know was about all the helpers and groups that helped him in getting slaves, Arima thought that he might as well take care of those.
Arima took care of the bodies and joined with Night who was in the bas.e.m.e.nt of this building. When he arrived, he saw numerous men and women who were barely wearing any clothes. Night was melting the cuffs and taking care of them. Most of them were beaten and some women were even pregnant.
When Arima arrived, he separated humans and other races in two groups, he teleported the group of demi-humans away to the elven town, he had already talked about a set point of transfer with Elia. As for the humans, he healed them a bit and let them go wherever they wanted.
And just like that, Arima destroyed seven of his targets in one night without any sound or trace.
"Let's do this. Night, you go take care of the different bandits working for the slave market and I'll take care of the other targets. We should be done by tomorrow night if we clean the other cities and towns as well" Arima said
Night nodded, he returned to his dragon form and flapped his wings, he transformed in a red light which flew in the air.
Arima also moved and teleported to the nearest town.
******************************
The next night, Arima and Night reunited at the capital. The two of them alone got rid of 42 slave dealers and racist n.o.bles, with almost a hundred different bandit groups, in just two nights. The both of them also met at least two A rank level opponents.
Another thing all of this resulted in, was Arima's mastery of s.p.a.ce. If he needed three seconds to transfer before, now he only needed one second.
"Going to sleep" Arima said nonchalantly.
"What are you talking about? If you wanted, you could stay awake for a month" Night said after turning back into a wolf.
"No, I need to sleep, that's on the same level as my sweets. And even if I can sustain my body with my mana, I'm still human and I have a brain, so sleep is still important and advised" Arima said and headed to an Inn. He didn't go to 'Wing's nest' because he already knew Aria accepted to fight on the front lines. He didn't worry about her, she was strong enough.
"Anyway, we fight a country tomorrow" Arima uttered and laid on the bed.
"Yeah, sure. You'll most likely finish it in one day" Arima said sarcastically
"Maybe" Arima didn't deny but his voice contained a certain incert.i.tude "If that Pope can do what I think, then it may be a bit problematic" He said and closed his eyes.
Night perked his ears when he heard him say that, even though he knew there was always someone above, he was sure that there was no one on this continent that could match Arima, even more, when he was with him.
Arima smirked "I hope it will be a bit fun at least"
