Act 3: Chapter 42.1 - Failure of The Observer(Side: Nyarlhotep)

「DO IT, JUST DO IT DAMMIT! FINISH HIM OFF! NO NEED TO TURN HIM INTO A PUPPET, JUST-KILL-HIM!」

Nyarlhotep was currently looking at the last part of Alice and Kanata’s battle from distortion of dimension in the upper world.

Their hands were grabbing onto the distortion of dimension as they brought their face closer as if trying to eat that distortion.

After tons of effort, they finally managed to corner Kanata.

With Alice’s current level and ability, killing the weakened Kanata would be a piece of cake.

「OUT OF THE WAY, YOU SMALL FRY KNIGHT! KILL, KILL! JUST KILL HIM ALREADY!」

Nyarlhotep spoke with an irritated voice.

They were currently seeing the scene where Knight Bennet brandished his sword toward Alice.

Nyarlhotep had employed their best tactics, making use of tactics that were already bordering on law violation, and finally managed to come so close to killing Kanata.

There was no need for him to deliver the finishing blow, just a bit of disturbance, and left the rest to their pawn.

They would be succeeded as long as Kanata is dead and yet, Alice’s special magic, the 《Puppet Coffin》, had literally thrown their plan into the dump.

Alice wanted to turn Kanata into her puppet.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

It seems she tried to make up for the loss of 《Red Authority Cane》 with other things.

「DON’T YOU DARE TO FU*CKING DO THAT! KILL HIM! FAILING TO KILL HIM RIGHT NOW WILL IT EVEN HARDER TO KILL HIM IN THE FUTURE! KILL HIM AND I’LL COMPENSATE YOU YOUR LOSS IN ANOTHER WAY LATER!!」

Nyarlhotep brought their faces even closer to the distortion of the dimension.

Their status was in jeopardy.

Failing here means that they would be abandoned by their master for real.

「I BEG YOU, ALICE! JUST KILL HIM ALREADY! IF YOU WISH FOR THE POWER, I’LL LET YOU JOIN THE 《INVISIBLE HAND OF GOD》!」

That moment, Alice suddenly fell to the ground due to Pomera’s strike on the former’s back of the head.

At that moment, Nyarlhotep lost all hope, they plopped on their rear, pulling out their green hair in frustration.

After groaning for a while, they raised their faces and took a deep breath.

「WHY... SOMEONE TELL ME WHYYY...」

「Direct interference with magic eh... Bollock. I should have reminded you that was the biggest taboo for us.」

「Uuuuuuh... But, that’s, it’s just...」

Nyarlhotep was truly at his wit’s end.

《Vanity》 was magic used by Nyarlhotep to corner Kanata even further in the 『Spur of moment』.

The reason was that he couldn’t let go of Kanata seeing the latter could deal with the trump card of the Red King that he prepared, the suicide bomb as easy as breathing.

「When I think that, all my effort is going to end up down the drain... My finger just... I mean, master, you’re the one who told me that there’s a moment when you have no choice but to do that...」

Nyarlhotep was desperately trying to make an excuse.

He was already on the verge of crying.

「Yeah, that’s right! It’s interference, but I’m not attacking directly! Moreover, we can erase that particular incident from 《Memory Sphere》 s–」

「It’s already exposed to those who watched it LIVE. And those folks won’t miss the sudden disappearance of Kanata Kanbara’s magic in the memory sphere. It has already become a trending topic in 《Goditter》. Trying to hide such a thing will only enrage them even further.」

Nyarlhotep’s excuse was crushed so effortlessly by his master.

Nyarlhotep was completely at a loss, his lips moving like fish out of the water.

「I’ve told you again and again about what happens to the world when there’s direct interference from us, right? That kind of world is nothing more than boring entertainment for me and my peers. The gods won’t be interested in Lochlore anymore after that blunder of yours. And once that happens, you’ll also lose the meaning of your life.」

「Guh...」

「That’s why I said that the silver lining is the fact that Kanata Kanbara survived that incident. If your interference resulted in him being killed back then, the effect will be beyond your imagination. Thanks to Kanata your blunder is nothing more than a mere scratch. But, it doesn’t change the fact that you used a 28th rank magic on an individual in Lochlore. Now Lochlore’s name bears a bad stigma due to your blunder. Now, do you understand what kind of damage you just caused? And how did you make such a blunder?」

「I, I wanted him to be killed right there... And if that failed too, I, I already...」
