Chapter 233: Usurper

Weekly chapters (1/2)

Fate and Greed, how I miss their conversation after so long.

Happy for you, Fate!

Enjoy the chapter~

『Fate, you… I can’t believe you won’t even let me sleep peacefully.』

[My bad… Greed]

『It’s fine. It’s a world outside of my dreams. You’re not feeling lonely, aren’t you?』

[There is no way.]

『Again, cut with the show of bravado.』

Ads by PubFuture Greed must be reading my mental movements from my heart rate. Does that mean it’s a forecast?

Still, he had no memory of what happened until he woke up.

『So this is Louise Island, in the elf village inside the Great Wall? There are so many things I don’t understand. I only remember up to the final battle with Libra. Because I was broken at that time.』

[I thought maybe I could figure out what happened before we washed up here once you’re awake, but I guess that’s not possible…]

『Let’s not rush. We can figure it out together』

It’s all because the black sword Greed was slightly repaired after I devoured the spirit beast.

Greed said that during the battle with Libra, I put the power of my Gluttony skill into the black sword. As a result, the zeroth-tier was released, and Greed and I could be said to become more deeply connected.

In other words, the power of the spirit beast that I devoured also flowed into Greed through the connection. As a result, the black sword was slightly repaired and Greed was revived.

『I don’t really understand, but the key is the spirit beast. Is it a necessary sacrifice to fully revive me?』

Cecilia couldn’t stand the conversation between me and Greed and interjected.

[That’s not to say, don’t just randomly attack elves.]

[I know that.]

We’re now in Cecilia’s house. Cecilia arranged so that we could talk slowly because we stood out too much during the duel with Zack.

At first, she was silent and simply listened to us. However, Greed was scolded because he said things that could harm other elves.

[Zack’s case was unavoidable due to a duel. However, taking away a spirit beast from an elf is the same as taking away that person’s status. He will no longer be able to fulfill his duties as a knight. Not only that, but I also doubt that they will treat him as an elf.]

[Georg can’t use spirit arts either, right? Then isn’t it the same as Zack?]

[Nii-san is different. He can’t use spirit arts well because he can’t see. It’s not like he doesn’t have it.]

On Louise Island, Zack becomes the only elf who does not have a spirit beast.

Although I didn’t take any lives, I did take away the spirit beast. As far as I know, I’ve never been able to return something devoured by the Gluttony skill.

Zack will probably stay like that forever.

[What do you plan to do, Fate?]

[I…]

If possible, I would like to completely restore the black sword.

That being said, I can’t just forcefully take away the spirit beast from the elf.

[I’ll be staying here for a while, then I’ll leave]

[You are leaving? Does that mean…]

[I’m thinking of leaving this island. There’s someone I’m looking for. There are still four other islands, so I’ll visit them one by one.]

Roxy is not on Louise Island. In that case, she might have washed up on another island like me.

I thought I’d bet on that possibility.

Now that my Gluttony skill has awakened, I should be able to fight even outside the Great Wall.

[The person you’re looking for is… Roxy-san, right? Do you think that person was able to cross the ocean as well?]

[Yeah, I believe so.]

『Okay, it’s decided.』

Greed has come back to life, and my health has also returned to normal. There’s also the other me and the failed god, but no matter what, I should prioritize finding Roxy.

Besides, I also have a promise with Cecilia. This departure has meaning for her as well.

[…You’re going away and leaving me behind.]

[No, would you like to go with me?]

[Eh?]

[It’s difficult to find ways to improve our relationship with the beastmen even if we stay on this island. In that case, why don’t we go around and see what other islands are doing and try to get some hints?]

Moreover, Georg is in charge of the island.

I don’t think anything will change if I continue to act like a caged bird and plead for an improvement in the relationship between elves and beastmen.

It was proven that the reincarnation ritual had been going on for over a hundred years until I came here.

Maybe I can figure something out by looking at other islands.

What I’m interested in is Emma Island. It is said that the elves have been excluded and the island has become an island of beastmen.

Elf spirit arts and spirit beasts are powerful. There is no doubt that this is true from my experience of dueling with Zack.

I wonder if a beastman who can’t handle spirits really has the power to surpass an elf. However, according to Cecilia’s information, Emma Island is an island of beastmen.

Cecilia also seemed curious about the reason.

[If I, an elf, visited Emma Island, I wouldn’t be able to get away with it for free.]

[Even though I’m an outsider, I was rescued by an elf like Cecilia. There may be some beastmen who understand the story.]

[That is too positive. But Fate might be right. I feel like I can’t change anything even if I stay here. No, I was doing it. That’s why I was waiting for something outside the Great Wall. Then, Fate… you appeared.]

[Ever since I arrived, Georg has been relentlessly making fun of me.]

[It was a big change for me. It’s the first time that my brother has been so persistent toward someone else other than me.]

『You seem to be popular here too, Fate.』

[It’s not like I’m happy about it.]

『Is the die still cast?』

I couldn’t answer Greed’s question.

When I was working as a gatekeeper in the Royal Capital Seifert, I killed a bandit. As a result, my Gluttony skills were awakened, and I was destined to continue fighting. I thought I had won that dice roll after fighting Libra in His land.

However, my Gluttony skills knew no bounds. It adapted to this new world and devoured the spirit beast. My current Gluttony skill has acquired a new flavor after eating a spirit beast.

Inside of me… I want to eat more, I want to get more.

Cecilia stood up from the table and said to me,

[Please give me a little time.]

[Okay. I’m sorry for forcing you to invite me. There’s also a way for me to see it and tell Cecilia about it.]

[Thanks.]

Cecilia said that and locked herself in her room.

Greed and I, who were left behind, further consider the future.

『Will we be able to cross the sea safely?』

[It seems that a monster called a sea serpent is watching over the sea.]

『Still, it’s strange that Fate crossed the ocean and washed up on this island.』

It’s just a guess, but it may have something to do with the sea serpent.

『Anyway. We have to try it』

[First of all, can we safely navigate the sea?]

『You’ll also need a boat. To do that, Cecilia’s help is still needed.』

[That’s right. I keep causing trouble for her.]

『If you had wings, things would be faster.』

If I borrow the power of the other me, I might be able to obtain black wings.

But in exchange for that, there is a possibility that my consciousness will be hijacked.

[I can’t come to terms with the other me. The risk is too high.]

『You’re pretty much two of a kind it seems』

[Not a chance.]

I’m curious about Georg’s movements, but first let’s check the situation at sea.

I have to have Cecilia accompany me when I go in and out of the Great Wall. It pains me to ask a female friend who is struggling to decide whether to accompany me on my journey.

Still, I have no choice but to ask…

[I’ll ask Cecilia to take me through the Great Wall tomorrow.]

『Is it a wall that you can get out of but can’t get into?』

[Yeah, there’s still time, so do you want to go see it together?]

『It’s just something I’ not familiar either. I want to see the beastman too.』

I wrote a letter to Cecilia and left the house.

With the black sword Greed, now able to speak, hanging on my waist… After all, it’s reassuring to have a partner with me.

『What’s up, Fate? You seem happy even though you say things are going to be tough from now on.』

[It’s nothing.]

The elves passing by gave me strange looks. And I overheard one referring to me as a usurper in a whisper.

I thought that was fitting. I am the usurper who devoured Zack’s spirit beast Belial.

Maybe it was because I was feared, or because Georg ordered them to do so…there was no one restricting my actions.
