Right after I gave my order, a doom-shaped black mist enclosed the entire region.

This sensation, it was definitely Girimekhala’s cursed realm. Though he didn’t appear before me, I could guess that he had secretly interfered with this event behind the scene. Well, the fact that he didn’t appear before me when I summoned all upper echelons was already strange though. Moreover, his cursed realm was tough. Not to mention it was perfect for isolation of information.

Nevertheless, it wasn’t perfect. My connection with Beelzebub was disturbed by the cursed realm too. Nevertheless, there was nothing to worry about since I just received communication from Deimos a while ago mentioning that he managed to get out safely with Lyla. It seems Deimos found Lyla safe and sound right outside the perimeter of the cursed realm, she was just unconscious.

Naturally, the timing was too good to be true. So, I realized immediately that the Lyla that got kidnapped before must be one of my subordinates disguised as Lyla. Since that was the case, the only thing left was to exterminate the harmful pests in this region.

Reason being they tried to kidnap my relatives. Thus, I had to break, twist, crush and exterminate them till nothing is left.

『Found him, Supreme Ruler-chama~』

That moment, Beelze’s voice resounded in my head. At the same time, vivid images and the map of the intricate cursed realm popped out in my head.

I honestly didn’t care about this, but, Girimekhala seems to be overreacting again. Well, none of those pests would be able to escape from this place though. And since Lyla was safe and sound, I’ll play along with Girimekhala’s plan.

After running in accordance to the map given to me, I arrived in front of a uselessly huge building that looked like it was made of pulsing red flesh.

So the guy who tried to kidnap Lyla was right inside this abominable looking building, eh. I guess I would never get along with the one who made this abominable-looking building. Maybe it just a knowledgeable undead who got overly excited.

「How foolish.」

I found it laughable that an idiot built this building so brazenly in this world filled with strong(TN: Misunderstanding). That fella was asking for death.

I scanned the building with 【Divine Eye】 and grasped its inner structures. Aside from Beelze, there were two people tied up on huge plate covered cloth, and a balloon-like monster donning another world sunglasses. There was also butler and the cook looked scared shi*tless. It seems that balloon with sunglasses was the mastermind.

Surprisingly enough, the two people on the huge plate were none other than my teammates. Uhm, I thought that they had already retreated after my threat but, I guess they got unlucky and were captured by those undead. I guess it would leave a bad after taste if I didn’t save them while I can. Okay, time to end this game.

I unsheated 【Murasame】 from its sheath hung on my back, and raised it up. That form should be the most suited one to destroy a structure.

Thus, after confirming with 【Divine Eye】 that there was no other human aside from my two teammates, I targeted everything except the balloon-like man, my two teammates, and Beelze.

「Tru Commandement Sword Art, One Sword Style; 7th Form――Sekai(World Destruction)――Revise」

I swung down 【Murasame】wrapped in jet-black aura. The blade fired jet-black wave, every building in its way decaying and crumbling down in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, all that was left was the vacant lot.

And the bipedal flew kneeling toward me, to the table with my two teammates, and the balloon-like man who kept rambling.

Amidst those surreal spectacles, the members of subjugation picture book surrounding this vacant lot kneeled down at once to me.

「Thank you for the hard work.」

""

Everyone hung their heads down when I thanked them.

「Well then, all that left is your disposal.」

The balloon-like man with sunglasses could only stare at me, trembling in fear.

『Plea――GUGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!』

I bisected right arm of the guy who rushed toward me, begging for forgiveness.

His screams resounded in the vacant lot in area 5.

「Forgive you? What are you talking about? You tried to kidnap people dear to me. Since you tried to commit such folly despite your weak power, it’s only fair for you to prepare for the consequences.」

I mean, from my perspective, his strength was not that much different from a goblin. Even if I left him to his own devices, this small fry undead will be dealt by hunter guild or Babel sooner or later. Yet, this guy actually dares to hurt those dear to me. I wasn’t so naive as to let this guy off the hook.

『Why ＤＥＡＴＨ?』

「Hah?」

『WHYWHYWHYWHY CAN I FEEL PAINＤＥＡＴＨ!? I AM AN UNDEAD! I SHOULD BE UNABLE TO FEEL PAIN AND YET――』

I sliced off his left arm too. That moment, the balloon-like man with sunglasses rolled in pain on the ground.

「Shut up. I don’t care about whatever shi*t happens in your body. I don’t even care if you’re an undead or whatever you call yourself, the only end waiting for you after angering me is death.」

『Impossible… ＤＥＡＴＨ…』

The fella shook his head as he retreated, trembling in fear both in body and expression.

「Hah?」

『I CANNOT PERISHＤＥＡＴＨ!』

Seeing that him trying to jump back, I severed both his legs as well. Which made him scream in pain again.

I looked at the miserable balloon-like man who almost turned into a real balloon,

「This place is your execution ground. You’ll die in the unsightliest, and pitiful way with no one to speak for you.  Unfortunately, I’ve to tell you―― another bad news.」

This would be my last gift.

『Worse news?』

The fella asked back,

「I… Have zero intention to simply just end the matter with killing you.」

After I gave my verdict, I lowered my center of gravity, and pointed 【Murasame】’s tip behind. And lastly, I loaded an enormous amount of mana into its blade.

This form was an outlier one that directly attacked the soul of the target. The number of times I used this form in that easy dungeon could be counted on one hand. I only used it when I deemed that my opponent was truly unnecessary. And this Balloon-like man with sunglasses just happened to fall under such category. Not to mention that I couldn’t just let him go after he brazenly tried to hurt Lyla. Thus, I decide to erase his existence, once and for all.

『N-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!』

The Balloon-like man with sunglasses turned around in air with his limbless body, trying his best to get away from me,

「True Commandement Sword Art; 8th Form――Shiranui(Unknown Flame)」

【Murasame】 flashed, and the Balloon-like man was sliced up beautifully right in the middle. The wound from my slash spread out quickly, as if eating the Balloon-like man from inside.

This was the 8th form―― Shiranui(Unknown Flame). An extremely dangerous skill that directly attacked the soul of the target. This was the form that I gained in the middle of registering as a member of the subjugation picture book. This form had various strict restrictions, and might not be that effective against a truly powerful opponent but, it should be enough to exterminate the vermin before me.

Good grief, this examination(farce) that had been going long enough had finally ended eh.

「To all of you, thank you very much for your assistance this time. Let’s have a party after this.」

After I thanked them, the member of the subjugation picture book bowed at once and then returned to the book.

Lastly, I looked at the bipedal fly and,

「Beelze, can I ask you to take care of the aftermath? Give your best “Hospitality” to those trashes laughing behind the scenes.」

I gave a direct order to Beelzebub to crush the one responsible for the incident.

『With pleasure.』

Beelze nodded, and vanished like smoke.

I approached my two teammates trembling on top of the plate, severed their binding tool with 【Murasame】 and gave them clothes which I took out from my item box.

「Well then, let’s go back for now.」

Well, I wasn’t cruel enough to leave behind these two who had lost their fighting spirit. Let’s take them along to the plaza.

「…」

「…」

The two didn’t move, just staring silently at me,

「What’s the matter? Are you not going to go with me? Well, I don’t really care even if you want to go back to plaza by yourselves you know?」

「W-We will go with you!」

「Me too!」

Both of them wore the clothes in a hurry when I asked so.

I shrugged my shoulders and waited for them to finish wearing their clothes as I looked in the direction of the plaza.
