Final Trial of Mankind

"Is that so... the sealed No.12's 'Night of the Flame'——Agurola Florestina? Interesting." Garda played with a beautiful voice as if playing with an expensive violin laughed.

"...Sleeping Beauty (Agulola)? Did you give No.12 a name?" After hearing the words of the third primogenitor, Ibris Bell muttered in surprise.

That expression seemed to say, "Do you want to name the chicken you use for fried chicken?" He sighed helplessly, "Doing something inexplicable", and shook his head.

Among the people present, only Xian Guyong knew that Agurola had actually been awake all the time, but the Lion King agency announced that Agurola had fallen into a deep sleep, which was why Liana Caruana didn't know this.

The Lion King Agency has an idea, which is consistent with Caruana's purpose, that is, the Japanese government supports the Fourth True Ancestor as the king on the side of Xian Kamijima.

Eastern Europe, West Asia, and America, among the domains of the three great ancestors, there is no Japanese territory. Isn't the fourth true ancestor the best choice?

"In any case, all twelve of the 'Yebo of the Flame' have been gathered together!" Garda confirmed in a gorgeous tone, and it was Ibris Bell who raised the objection.

"However, the Caruana family should have no territory, either because of someone else, or because of the hateful Zaharias!"

"Yes, so she is not qualified as an emperor elect."

"Then how do you plan to direct the Lion King Agency?" Ibris Bell asked, staring at Gu Yong as if probing Gu Yong.

The girl wearing glasses said clearly and indifferently: "Let No. 12 participate in the banquet, but I don't agree with the qualifications of the Caruana family as the emperor elector. We will prepare the stage for the banquet."

"An island country in the far east, still want to compete with our Empire of the Night?" Ibris Bell smiled ferociously.

"Good answer, but I can understand that your country's government has prepared an offer to match this?"

"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be considered gambling!" Gu Yong looked straight back at Ibris Bell's provocative eyes.

"Then let me ask you, what are you betting on? Don't forget, needless to say, even that filthy arms dealer has blocked the fate of our country. I hope there will be an equal return What about it?" Ibrisbell smiled at Gu Yong with his eyes shining red.

For ordinary human beings, it is not inconceivable that they would fall into a state of frenzy just after feeling this huge and sinister aura, but Gu Yong didn't show any emotion, just quietly raised his right hand.

"We are betting on this island..."

Behind the girl is the night view of the huge artificial island 'Demon Special Zone' Itogami Island——

"We're betting this land, and the lives of all 56 people who live on it."

019 War behind the stage

The "Dynasty of Destruction" is an empire of the night ruled by the second primogenitor "Eye of Destruction", an autonomous territory of demons that dominates the vast Middle East.

The total population is about 500 million.

Alchemy and magic are prevalent in the local area, and monster grazing is practiced, forming a unique civilization.Because it is located in an important place for things to be traded, business is very prosperous.On the other hand, it is in a state of tension with the cities of the Dark Continent and the "Sixteen Great Powers" in Central Asia, and it is a land with an unstable military balance.

Although it is the Empire of the Night as a demonic autonomous dominion, the people who inherit the blood of the demons are less than [-]% of the total population, and the pure blood demons are even rarer. Even so, they are still recognized as the ruling class The reason for this is because most of the empire's military strength relies on the demons with high combat capabilities.

The residences of the royal family in the empire are all functioning as military facilities, with land troops equipped with the most cutting-edge equipment permanently stationed there. The residence of Ibrisbel Arziez, the ninth prince of the "Dynasty of Destruction", is also one of such military castles. one.

The area he is in charge of is the Cossas area, which is also very close to the border of the "Warlord Domain", and is an extremely important strategic stronghold.Due to the dangerous terrain, it is very difficult to mobilize large-scale troops, so they are concentrated and equipped with experienced and strong soldiers.

And this Cossacks attack was on a December night in a blizzard.

"It's so noisy, what's the matter, old man."

Ibris Bell, who was looking at the chessboard in the dormitory, turned his unpleasant gaze on the old vampire who ran in hastily. The constant explosions made the huge castle slightly shake.

"It's an enemy attack, Your Highness, the west gate has been breached."

"It's not the attack of King Zhan's army... Sisters and the others still don't know how to repent. Where did they hire mercenaries?"

"I'm so sorry, I thought we knew the movements of the other royal families." The old vampire bowed his head to Ibrisbell who crushed the chess piece with a smile.

For Ibrisbell, who is a royal family, the most immediate threat is not the army of other countries, but the relatives of the royal family. It has been designed several times in the past, but every time Ibrisbell defeated it. It is more appropriate to consider who sent the assassin, but...

"Well, it's true, this kind of rough attack doesn't seem to be the method of Sister Chichar... What about the movement of the army in the Red Sea?"

"No, nothing special right now."

"Really, that's good, anyway, the Karakum brothers don't have the guts to kill me. In that case, I have other features."

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

"Greeting the guests. We must treat them with great hospitality."

Wrapped in a luxurious crimson robe, Ibrisbell walked between the castle lords.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions are endless, and the city is full of noise. Probably the beasts have been summoned. Because of the influence of the leaked magic power, the sky has become very gloomy. There is a particularly powerful aura of magic power in it, which can rival the powerful individuals of the royal beasts. On a rampage.

"—The city has been invaded!? What are the guards doing!?" Noticing the destroyed corridor in the city, the old vampire called the old man shouted.

The stone pillars supporting the ceiling collapsed with the roar, and the scattered smoke and dust spread to the city lords. In the city lords, Ibris Bell stood majestically on the viewing platform and looked around.

"Stand back, old man." Ibrisbell said quietly with his eyes shining red.

"Your Highness!? But—" the old vampire turned his head in confusion.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy metal door was broken, and uninvited guests entered.

There were less than ten intruders, just a few soldiers wearing black uniforms imitating beast skull masks, the slender and short man they guarded, and a petite girl who covered her face with a hood—that's all.

"It's actually a Hun ghost...!? Nilepusi Liberation Army!" The old vampire said in a deep voice, staring at the men in black suits.

Nilepusi is an emerging Hun ghost territory that is not even recognized as a country in the world, and it is not in a state of direct war with the "Dynasty of Destruction", but from the perspective of the orthodox vampire race, the dislike of warlike and rough Hun ghosts is deeply rooted Yes, he must have felt angry at the humiliating fact that he was invaded by a mere Hun ghost.

Vessels of the old vampire's temples emerged.

The slender man didn't care about the old vampire's anger at all, and stepped forward.

"Excuse me for the sudden visit. His Royal Highness Prince Ibrisbel Aziz, I am honored to receive the honor of the audience tonight, and I am delighted to be here at Balutazar Zaharias."

The man used a respectful tone that was inconsistent with the attacker.

Ibrisbell, who was standing on the viewing platform, looked down at him with a grim smile.

"Sure enough, it was you, Zaharias, who came to me with a dirty Hun ghost. You are so brave. Are you so attached to hell, weapon dealer?"

If Mu Chen were here, he might have complained silently, "It's what he deserved to be almost fucked to death, pretending to be struck by lightning"!

Few of this group of powerful and noble guys have the same brains as that guy of Vatora. They basically think that their own strength can turn the tide, but the result is that they are directly crushed after being surpassed in strength.

"As compensation for this rudeness, how about this? After all, my job is to be a merchant. Please listen to my proposal before you think about it."

"A mere lowly weapon dealer, you actually want to make a deal with me?" To Zaharias who said these words without fear, Ibrisbel smiled ferociously, "Interesting, it depends on your bravery Come on, try to listen, let's talk."

"Then let's go straight to the point—I hope His Highness can give me all the 'Yebo of Flame' in the 'Dynasty of Destruction' you manage, that is, the seventh and No.12."

"Hmph... upstart, thank you for being able to investigate." Ibris Bell said in a deep voice, as if feeling emotional.

The "Dynasty of Destruction" has two "Yebos of Flame", and Ibris Bell is in charge, no matter what, it is a confidential matter that only the true ancestor and the limited ministers know.

"However, wishing that is not suitable for status will lead to self-destruction, arms dealer, get out of my territory immediately, or do you want to snatch the dolls?"

"If that's what His Highness wishes, then it's better to be respectful than obedient." Zaharias said with a smile.

The old vampire was furious at his arrogant attitude.

"Barbarian!"

The white-haired old vampire roared, and was about to summon the beast. Ibrisbell, who noticed this, was about to stop him immediately, but before that, the old vampire disappeared without a trace.The invisible huge magic shell pierced his body.

"Father!"

The aftermath of the attack shattered the walls of the castle, and Zaharias watched all this calmly, as if saying that this was self-defense, and condemning the old vampire who wanted to strike first.

Pushing aside the falling rubble, Ibris Bell roared: "Do you want to die that much, bitch! Grind him up for me, 'Doyamuto Ivor'——!"

Ibrisbell's short body spewed out terrifying magic power, which distorted the atmosphere, and summoned a huge beast in the void, a golden jackal with teeth and claws.

As the royal beast of Ibrisbell, it has the destructive power to sink a huge battleship and destroy the entire castle. It was originally a beast that would not be summoned by an individual opponent. Halias will disappear from the world without a trace, and the huge body shining with divine light turns into a flash of light, sweeping towards Zaharias.

However, the attack of the golden beast did not injure the weapon merchant in the slightest.

What protected Zaharias was an invisible barrier, and the powerful shock and shock wave walls blocked the attacks of the beasts.

"...Number [-]! Is this the basis of your confidence, Zaharias!" Ibris Bell's expression became even more terrifying.

The girl brought by Zaharias took off the hood, revealing her face. She was a girl with curly blond hair like flames, and eyes shining with flames.On the protective clothing she was wearing, the word "IX" was written in the inorganic font used on weapons.

"Fool! The mere body wants to beat me too! Crush me with his arrogance, 'Happy'! 'Kebev Senu Ave'!"

Ibris Bell summoned two new Beasts.

It is rumored that No. [-] "Yebo of Flame" can summon beasts equal to the fourth primogenitor. Indeed, with such power, it is not impossible for less than ten people to get carried away and attack this castle.

However, as the direct prince of the Second True Ancestor, Ibrisbell's beasts also have magical powers that are vastly different from ordinary vampires, and there are three heads. The beasts summoned by the body are enough.

This was the mistake of Zaharias who misunderstood the strength of Ibris Bell.

"Hehe, no, this is not allowed, Your Highness."

But Zaharias stretched out his hands with a calm expression instead, and two girls with the same face as No. [-] walked out from behind him.The marks engraved on their protective clothing are "II" and "VIII"——

"Businessmen are not arrogant, business opportunities change at any time—"

"'Flame's Yebo'!? It's... No. [-] and No. [-]!?"

Ibris Bell's expression was distorted by astonishment. Zaharias' body was not limited to No. [-]. He spent decades secretly acquiring the "Yebo of Flame" or forcibly snatching it. Come on, just like Number Nine who once invaded the Counties of Caruana and took away the seal.

Now, he did not hesitate to make an enemy of the "Dynasty of Destruction" in order to obtain a new body.

"Zaharias, is your purpose—!?"

The newly summoned No. [-] and No. [-] beasts wiped out Ibrisbell's three beasts, and the violent torrent of magic power swallowed up Ibrisbell's short body, and disappeared without a trace along with half of his city. .

The huge castle began to collapse, the molten and rolling stone walls gave off a strange smell, and the aftermath of magic power roared and formed a hot wind.

There is probably no one who can survive such an attack.But even so, Zaharias sighed regretfully.

"Heh, didn't you succeed in killing them? As expected of the prince directly related to the 'Pupil of Destruction'... But, we finally got six, and the preparations for the banquet can continue."

Under the ground of the castle that disappeared due to the attack of the beasts, two girls lay unharmed, the body of the fourth progenitor with the same face as No. [-], a blond girl vampire.

Zaharias smiled calmly and ordered the Hungarians to take them back.

The three "Flaming Yebos" in protective suits stared at Zaharias without emotion.
