Chapter 30 : Mission Complete

Excerpt today is intentionally short as to disappoint a lot of readers after they click it! *evil laugh*

The next day, after the Darkness God Corps had returned after completing their mission, Yuusuke was given permission to use his remaining vacation days, thus he decided to bring Sun back to Rufk Village. This time, due to his achievements at Paula, the King’s entourage and bureaucrats were deliberating on what reward should be given to Yuusuke.

Should they give him a formal identity as a noble of Fonclanc? Or to fix him a place like a mansion in the noble district? Then, a problem had occurred during the deliberating, as there were reports from the local administrator about the appearance of the Gazzetta army in the villages of the [Artless] within the territory.

Chapter 28: Shinha’s Warning

Edit: 300 followers! I have never expected this to gain much exposure, yet here we are at a substantial number for a small translation. Thanks a lot guys! ❤

As the disarmament of the Gazzetta army was being carried out, Zeshald was keeping a close watch on the withdrawal of the elite troops and was providing the appropriate commands to prevent his own forces from chasing too far. With the conclusion of this battle, the relationship between Blue Garden and Fonclanc would probably improve. Feeling like a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders, Zeshald let out a sigh.

The civil war in Blue Garden would end after the capturing of supreme commander Izapnar and after gaining complete control of Paula’s central command. Even though Gazzetta’s attack had caught him by surprise, their king, Shinha, had provoked Yuusuke, the [God of Calamity], and had spectacularly self-destructed, experiencing a calamity for himself.

“Zeshald dono, shall we proceed to take over Paula’s central command?”(Queen’s army’s officer)

“Proceed with it. I will join the fight myself to hasten our victory.”(Zeshald)

While contemplating his future plans in the well ventilated headquarters of the water mirror, Zeshald looked down at the urban areas of Paula. It was about time for the citizens to get up and start bustling around their businesses. In the center of this urban area, soldier carriages were being prepared for the raid on Paula’s central command.

The divine arts users that formed Zeshald’s escort looked at the rushed preparations for the raid and the disarmed Gazzetta soldiers coming out of the huge wall prison structure. It took just a moment for them to lose their concentration and…

“Mhm?!”(Zeshald)

Belushya charged at Zeshald from behind, aiming her hand between his left shoulder blade and his spine, using her pride, the disseminating type (付与系) water art. Belushya’s water art would freeze her target instantly. It was a terrifying assassination type water art which, if she managed to freeze the chest of her opponent, would freeze the heart causing her target to die instantly.

Although the person’s resistance varied according to the strength of their divine arts, Belushya had trained her divine arts from young age. She was sure that even if Zeshald was an exceptionally strong divine arts user, and even if he had a sacred treasure that increased his resistance to other divine arts, he would not be able to defend against her if she focused only on his heart.

—-TSISH sound of something breaking reached her ears.

Chapter 27: Miscalculation

Shalnar’s month of fire, eleventh day~~

An old clan village hidden in the Gazzetta mountains.

The “village” looked more like a small fortress than a village, and stone buildings were neatly arranged around the environs. At a first glance one could mistake it for a secluded mountain village.
In this small group of buildings, one house set itself apart from the rest, as its disposition was more akin to a shrine than to a simple building.

“Hey granny, still alive and kicking strong, I see.” (Young man)
“And look at you, all grown up. You’re so tall now.” (Village priestess)

The young man was familiar with the village priestess since he was a baby, so after exchanging a friendly chatter the two moved onto the main topic.

“What kind of a revelation have you received this time?” (Young man)
“Mhm… the Evil God has descended.” (Village priestess)
“Hmm? Him again, what kind of fellow is It now? An ancient monster or a progenitor of the four great gods (四大神の祖)?” (Young man)
“His body is similar to that of the progenitors. I think he’s probably a variation of a man.” (Village priestess)

The peaceful atmosphere from before had disappeared as the young man listened carefully to the priestess’s revelation.
This descent granted the clan’s most desired wish. In ancient times (EN:A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…), the evil god that descended to Kaltcio had become the source of prosperity for the white clan, although this evil god had also lead their clan to their downfall. This evil god had called himself [Wizard] and had a body of a man (as opposed to that of a beast).

Chapter 26: The Evil God’s Roar (Lunaris)(Part2)

The white corps that suddenly appeared stopped about 500m south of the Fonclanc’s army, away from the chaos. Once there, they began to arrange their ranks in a line. It seemed like they weren’t going to be involved in the fight, as half of the horses were being led away.

Even so, a unit consisting of one hundred [Artless] Warriors, were taking up position in line as they glared towards the Great Wall of Paula. But as one looked closely, they could see personnel with red, blue and green hair; those with divine arts amongst them.

“~~~ We are white sword cavalry from Gazzetta. By order of King Shinha, we are here to assist our king’s ally: the Hero of Gearhawk, Yuusuke.~~~”

The use of the wind arts, [Hiroden], from the Gazzetta army resounded through the area. Gazzetta is a nation whereby it’s citizens have equal rights, it’s lands were made up of mainly mountain ranges, with it’s ancient capital guarded by its [Artless] king. There are rumors whereby they have a facility which fosters [Artless] Warriors within their territories.

Chapter 26: The Evil God’s Roar(Lunaris)

TN: this chapter is a long one so it will be split over 2 release cycles. When the second part is released this post will be deleted and replaced with the full chapter. TOC/Menu update will be delayed until the chapter is full released.

The Civil war turmoil within the Fortress City of Paula began unnoticed as the majority of the populace was fast asleep. On the second floor passages, within the great walls where the Water Mirror HQ lies, the elites team of Izapnar were poised to launch their raid, which was followed by a battle proceeding the god militia’s ambush of the Water Mirror Camp.

Just before the raid was carried out, one member of the elite group, without any regards of any danger, had brought the attack information to the Water Mirror HQ.

“Ah, Mr.Zeshald.”

“What’s the current situation?”(Zeshald)

In one of the rooms of the Water Mirror HQ, those who were injured in combat were being healed. In the corner of that room, several water arts users were doing their utmost to heal one lady. The young lady who wore a burned uniform of the water troupe, had been burnt around her shoulders. She was the one who brought information about the attack.

“Currently, the passageway is on a offensive and defensive stalemate, the girl has 3rd degree burns and our water arts can’t…”

“Hmm, let me try…”(Zeshald)

Zeshald began to exercise his power of healing and the lady’s skin started to regenerate instantly. The fact that Zeshald had mastered the healing arts, and on top of that, the effect of the sacred treasure added on, allowed him to display a miracle type of healing not known to the world of water arts in history.

A burnt wound caused by fire arts which would normally take more than 10 days to recover, was instantly healed without leaving a scar.

“AMAZING……so this is the power of the sacred treasure!”

“Fortunately, had she not informed us about it, there would have been more injured allies.”(Zeshald)

Chapter 25 : White Shadow (Lunaris)

“Neri! Neri!”

The construction of the great wall was rushed and because of that, a part of the foundation which was not yet reinforced had collapsed during the rain. Thus, there were several innocent people who got involved in the accident.

~ Plau! Is that you?

“Sis, Neri is! Neri is!”

On the actual scene of the incident, workers of the construction project and injured people who were trapped under the collapsed wall were all currently being rescued. Fortunately there weren’t any dead yet.

~~ Dammed it’s useless, this is impossible unless one is skilled in water arts.

“Why didn’t you save Neri? Quickly, get a water Doctor here.”

~ To call a doctor for an [Artless] pet, it’s something which bends the rules.

“Neri is family person! Family’s friend person!”

~~Plau…..we have no choice, Neri is an [Artless]
~~It would be better to let him rest sooner.
~~Missy is such a poor thing, it can’t be helped as she is a [Artless]
~~Plau is a good kid right? So please bid farewell to Neri here, alright?

“Neri……”

As the rain poured down and battered on the walls, an [Artless] was trapped under the rubbles of the accident. The blood of the person who she had spent all her time with, Neri’s blood could be seen, as though her life was flowing away together along with the blood, the young girl was lost at what she could do and was just staring while crying.

Chapter 24: Deernook fortress

Sorry for another long break guys, i hope you did not start hating me for that, but, as an apology, i brought some good news for you this time. From today onward we are back on a release/3 days schedule. Thus this chapter catches up with the manga and the next one will go past it. Enjoy!

***

As the harvest festival came to an end, Zeshald was thoroughly basking in attention that the sacred treasure that was supposedly bestowed by the queen has drawn to him.
Since the announcement about the formation of the [Water Mirror] on the first day of Zalnar’s month of fire, Zeshald has been working almost without breaks. Because of their position, some members of elite troupes secretly came to visit him under the shroud of night to express their interest to become a member. Thus, he had to handle the visitors regardless of if it was day or night.

Still, the divine arts aura that Zeshald had around him emitted the power of the sacred treasure. The artifact also calmed him down as well as sped up the body recovery processes thus Zeshald felt part of the power of the item with his own body.

Although, these effects were beyond what Zeshald had expected of the artifact, the old man used them as part of his propaganda which, little by little, spread between the members of the [Water Mirror] and the common folk alike. This envy and awe was a good tool to boost the queen’s influence.

“Hmm, so the construction of the Deernook fortress had started anew.”(Zeshald)
“It seems that Yuusuke-kun is also on the move.”(Reifold)
“Is that so…We have created quite an organization on this side. Izapnar’s faction looks to be slowly preparing for something.”(Zeshald)
“They are acting faster than I anticipated. It has to be due to the effect of the festival…”(Reifold)

Reifold, bearing the latest reports from Fonclanc has received Zeshald’s report and headed towards the Shalnar temple where queen Rishause was residing.
By communicating between former royalists and working as a messenger for the queen, Reifold was also actively contributing to the queen‘s faction’s rise to power.

“Hmm, it looks like it is going to rain tomorrow,” whispered Zeshald, looking out through the window, towards the direction of Fonclanc.

Chapter 21: Zeshald’s request (Lunaris)

EDIT: in case you did not read it on lunate’s blog, he will be on a leave for two weeks. My plan for this (as i have three chapters) is to release 1 chapter per week and return to the chapter each three days mode with the third one (provided lunate will have enough time to prepare 26 as it is quite a long one). With that said, expect next chapter sometime early next week 🙂

It’s been 4 days since the protection ordinance promulgated, and you could already see some of the spearhead representative soldiers guiding the [Artless] cleaners around to the different places in the commoner district. Although the first day had some difficulty due to the many onlookers, from then on it was smooth sailing as there was less confusion, thus changing the city’s landscape to a better scenery.

After finishing the report of today’s patrol, Yuusuke arrived back at his room and opened the door.

“Yoz”(Reifold)
“What Yoz!”(Yuusuke)

Why is Reifold in my room, isn’t this the palace? Yuusuke was looking at him with a surprised and amazed expression. Up until now his actions have all seem to pointed at him being a spy of Blue Garden, but Yuusuke felt that he was not an enemy, thus closing the door behind him before asking, “What’s your purpose today?”

“Ah? Isn’t it not good to discover an intruder and not call on the knights?”(Reifold)
“You’re standing in front of one though. So, what’s your reason for coming here?”(Yuusuke)

Responding to what Yuusuke did, Reifold said something amusing,”So someone have grown up.” Next, Reifold took out a letter from nowhere and passed it to him. The sender’s name was Zeshald.

“This is?”(Yuusuke)
“As you can see, this is Zeshald’s letter to you, buddy.”(Reifold)

Although Yuusuke had many questions, he wanted to ask him, first he opened the seal and read the letter.
