「Box and key... No way...」

Kotone started sweating profusely from her forehead.

The box that Bosgin was talking about was clearly referring to 《Red Authority Cane》.

And the key to open the box was obviously referring to her 《Ares Hand》.

There was the mastermind who manipulated the puppet coffin, namely Bosgin and co.

From the beginning, their aim wasn’t to steal the cane, their true aim was Kotone’s 《Ares Hand》.

「You managed to suppress this meat doll even though I predicted that you’re only about as strong as him. Your strength has actually exceeded my prediction.」

Bosgin stepped forward.

《Garan The Hundred Demon》 and 《Balot The Dungeon Master》 were also moving along with him.

Garan was holding a longsword in his hand, while Balot readied his sickle chain and axe.

「Nevertheless, you’re no match for us!」

The three S-rank adventurer’s class rushed toward Kotone.

This was the first time Kotone was cornered like this.

She could only maintain her superiority if she only fought against Bosgin.

Kotone’s eyes wandered between the three assailants coming toward her.

「《Status Check》!」

Against such an unfavorable situation, Kotone started with checking her enemies using 《Status Check》.

That skill allowed her to see her opponent’s HP and MP but, seeing that there was more than one enemy, she had to move around while creating winning tactics in her brain.

Kotone’s level was 208.

The number of S-rank adventures had exceeded her imagination.

As the owner of an extremely high level, she was treated as Manarak’s guardian deity.

Though this was the first time she met them, she knew that the three were among the ten strongest in this kingdom.

「... The worst situation.」

Thus, the two clashed blades were locked at each other.

「Hou... Turns out you’re not as naive as I thought. My apologies, do allow me to retract my rude remark from before. But, this is the end.」

Garan put more power and pushed the blade of his sword, repelling Kotone’s sword.

That moment, Kotone’s stance crumbled.

The chain thrown by Balot then wrapped her left arm.

「Ugh....!」

Balot followed with throwing the axe in his other hand immediately.

When Kotone leaned forward to dodge the axe, Garan’s blade had already swooped down toward her.

She took the blow with her gauntlet but the impact alone almost broke her arm.

When she staggered due to the impact, Balot pulled his chain, bringing her closer to him.

The unprepared Kotone was pulled up into the air.

That moment, Bosgin’s giant fist nailed down on her abdomen.

Bosgin licked his lips as he did so.

「Fufufu, I’ve never expected that you’ll persist until this far. It makes me like you even more than before. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you with care.」

Thus, Kotone’s body slammed on the hard floor.

She tried to get up immediately but then, she felt the handle of Garan’s sword struck the back of her head.

She fell forward this time.

Kotone tried to raise her body again but she realized that her body refused to listen to her command.

She was glaring at Bosgin with her eyes that barely opened.

「Fufufu, now I get both 《Red Authority Cane》 and 《Ares Hand》. As long as I get that cane, not even a god can intervene that easily with me.」

「Uhm... But, I guess it’s time to replace a member.」

Garan touched his chin as if he pondered about something.

「Yes. Balot, time for rock, paper, scissor game.」

Bosgin outstretched his arm toward Balot.

Balot nodded and outstretched his arm toward Bosgin.

Bosgin’s hand showed rock while Balot’s hand showed paper.

Bosgin nodded.

「Maybe it’s thanks to Kotone-chan, or the persistence of the A-rank adventurer of this city, many of the top-brass of 《Blood Cup》 have been defeated. I guess it can’t be helped since without them, there’s no reason to keep Bosgin around either. Originally, I planned to push the blame about 《Red Authority Cane》 to them... So it’s time to part way I guess.」

Bosgin touched his head as he spoke.

Kotone looked at Bosgin, wondering what he wanted to do.

Just like that, Bosgin increased the strength of his grip, and twisted his own head.

His big head then twisted to an impossible angle.

He then started vomitting blood as the white of his eyes showed.

His huge body then crumbled on the spot like a puppet cut off its string.

「HIII! L-Lies, what are yo—」

「It has been decided right?」

「To make a spot for you, of course, Kotone-chan.」

Garan and Balot approached Kotone with an eerie laugh on their faces.

Thus, Kotone’s consciousness got interrupted amidst the fear.
