What the... the old King has been decapitated already?
Controlling the airflow carried by the [Witch’s Broom], after blasting away the armored princess holding a ceremonial sword, Leon looked at the old King’s armored head on the carpet and couldn’t help but hiss, feeling a bit of a toothache.
Upon entering the bedchamber and finding the princess, discovering she had been turned into a doll, he imdiately thought of the Queen who had been pushed down the stairs and instantly understood the ultimate target of this armored abnormality.
Although it wasn’t bad for him that the old King has kicked the bucket, considering he still wasn’t clear about the situation with this abnormality, he worried that there might be serious consequences after the King was finished, so he suppressed his selfish desires and rushed over imdiately.
In order to save ti, he didn’t even climb the stairs, but flew over directly on the [Witch’s Broom], but ultimately he was still half a step too late as the old King had already followed in the Queen’s footsteps.
This is truly...
Strictly speaking, the Virgo Division under the Bureau of Public Order technically counts him as part of law enforcent, so is it really destiny for the police to always arrive a step too late?
...
"Ahem!"
As Leon turned into the study through the window shattered by the storm, picking up the old King’s head with a hint of disdain, the armored princess, who was blasted outside the study wall, opened her eyes again amidst the rubble.
The Clean-up Bureau’s people sure arrived fast... but it doesn’t matter anymore.
Shoving the sofa off her body, the armored princess stood up, looked at Leon who was trying to reattach the old King’s head, and said with a cheerful tone:
"Don’t bother, even though he can still talk, his ’identity’ and ’status’ are already killed by , so even if you put his head back on, he can’t order around anymore."
"..."
Turns out it’s another undead class abnormality...
Seeing the twisted legs and feet recover quickly, even the shards of glass embedded in her body were pushed out of her, Leon couldn’t help but frown, then firmly gripped the [Witch’s Broom].
His [Lust Dream Invader] was taken by the Director for use by the Snow Maiden for protection, now in his hand, the only abnormality with supernatural damage capability left is the storm of the [Witch’s Broom].
Two months ago, even with this thing in his hand, he would be chased by a group of ordinary people, but now his Contamination Value is near ten points, just a bit short of reaching the level-2 Cleaner threshold, and he had made significant progress.
Although the upper limit of [Witch’s Broom] is not high, under the propulsion of ten points of Contamination Value, it should still have no problem to whip up a storm to suppress the seemingly no-special-abilities "princess".
"Boom!"
Just do it!
Following the teachings in [The Emma Remnants Scripture], "communicate with your opponent as little as possible when unnecessary," Leon imdiately activated the [Witch’s Broom], stirring up an intense gust from top to bottom, pressing the armored princess firmly onto the carpet.
Imdiately after, Leon charged forward without hesitation, reaching out his right hand towards the fallen armored princess.
The pajama doll that Veronica turned into, he touched it all over a few tis but couldn’t get any information out, so the body of this abnormality must be the armored princess right in front of him.
As long as his hand could touch her, he would know what she really is, then he could formulate a strategy based on the information, or even directly "purchase her" and swiftly resolve this abnormality outbreak!
Heh heh.
Seeing Leon bursting in and pouncing directly towards her, the armored princess chuckled under the pressure of the storm and slightly opened her mouth.
"Stop it."
In the instant he saw the armored princess’s lip movents, Leon’s body abruptly froze, turning into a statue completely motionless, even the storm of the [Witch’s Broom] ca to a halt with him.
"My dear prince, you’re quite impulsive."
Climbing up from the carpet, the armored princess extended her now soft hand to touch Leon’s cheek, then pointed at the [Witch’s Broom] hanging behind him, smiling as she ordered:
"Go ahead, break that thing first, then co back and talk with ."
"???"
As soon as the armored princess finished speaking, Leon’s body involuntarily turned back, grabbed the retreating [Witch’s Broom], and snapped it over his knee with great force.
With the sound of a crack, this broom, which had rendered great service, was snapped into two pieces.
"..."
Damn it... this broom was rented from that witch! The ownership wasn’t even with !
"Don’t be angry~"
Seeing Leon’s slightly annoyed expression, the armored princess giggled, "You started it, I just gave you a little punishnt... sweetie, the other is in your hands, right? Could you hand her over?"
Not good!
Upon hearing the armored princess’s words, Leon’s heart jolted slightly.
To ensure Veronica’s safety, he had placed the doll that she beca in the mirrored world, but now he cannot disobey her commands, if he truly hands Veronica over...
Hm?
Seeing his hand unmoved, not reaching for the cufflink as ordered, Leon narrowed his eyes slightly, suspecting he had figured sothing out.
Could it be... since she also counts as "Veronica", orders related to Veronica can’t be enforced?
"Are you unwilling?"
Seeing Leon narrow his eyes to assess her, the armored princess chuckled, as though she didn’t mind at all, saying:
"If you don’t want to listen, then don’t. Now I’ve already replaced my father, becoming the one with the highest status in the Kingdom. She can’t make any impact anymore."
Replace... identity... I get it.
Hearing the armored princess’s words, Leon seed to have thought of sothing and finally opened his mouth for the first ti since entering the study.
"Hey!"
"Hm?"
Seeing Leon suddenly call out, the armored princess raised her eyebrows, tilting her head with a smile, "What’s up?"
"Nothing much, just wanted to tell you..."
Glancing at the old King on the ground, Leon said, "Our relationship is over, the engagent is canceled."
???
What... are you talking about?
Before Leon spoke, the armored princess had imagined many scenarios; whether Leon would curse out loud or plead desperately, logical persuasion or nacing threats would not sway her.
But what the armored princess never expected was that the first thing Leon said was that their relationship had broken down and he wanted to cancel the engagent!
"And another thing."
In the armored princess’s stunned gaze, Leon inford her:
"I’m the leader of the rebels, and now I’m staging a rebellion."
"..."
So you’ve seen through my ’rules’, realizing that my power relies on identity-based stuff, so you’re severing the engagent with the princess to negate the identity inferior to mine, then declaring yourself as a rebel to escape control from this "queen" ?
Heh, your mind works pretty fast, but the idea is still a bit naive.
Looking at Leon seriously declaring rebellion in front of her, the armored princess couldn’t help but laugh silently.
If all it took was casually shouting and announcing a rebellion to escape control and regain freedom, that would be ridiculous, my power isn’t such an easy thing to break.
Though the rebels are indeed opposed to the Kingdom, having the identity of rebel leader might lift restrictions from ’status’, rely stating it isn’t enough.
To use this thod to rid control, at the very least your ’identity’ must be a rebel, your ’status’ must be that of the rebel leader, and you must actually be conducting rebellious acts, perfectly fitting this ’role’ for it to work...
Hm?
Ah?!!!
