Spoiler of the Chapter : Freeza Vs SSJ4 Goku

====

I arrived in a spacious room at the end of the stairs behind the secret door. In the middle of the spacious room was a magic formula carved onto the floor. In the middle of the room, there were two men.

One was already dead however.

The dead one was supposed to be quite fat and well-kept, but his hair had already fallen from his head, his eyeballs had left their sockets nowhere to be seen, and his skin had turned to black as though charred. The look of dread on his face had already solidified.

Well, it seems that his life force had already been sucked dry by the barrier’s effects.

「He’s the city lord.」

The other man responded to an unasked question with a nonchalant tone.

He looked exactly like the man on the red wanted posters– a handsome man with slit eyes. Before me was the international criminal who was feared like some sort of disaster possessing powers rivaling that of a dragon all while being human, a《JinMaRyuu》.

《Evil God Apostle; Notes》.

He had bluish black hair and wore robes with slightly eccentric colors, a combination of red and green. In his hand, he was holding a skull-shaped crystal.

「I never thought that there was a human who could get to this location while under the effects of my 《Sacrifice(Human Sacrificial Altar)》 barrier.」

I smiled kindly in return, almost forgetting about the abnormal situation. But, I quickly snapped back out of my stupor due to the sinister aura spewing out from this place. I unsheathed the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》and pointed it at Notes.

「… Aren’t you supposed to be in cahoots with Garland?」

「Yes, I’m really grateful for his cooperation. Without him providing the coordinates and deploying the celestial bodies, I wouldn’t have been able to gather enough offerings for Zorophilia. 」

His slit eyes opened slightly as he sent a piercingly cold gaze at Garland.

「But, do you think a traitor like him who offered his own citizens as sacrifice is worthy of being a king’s vessel?」

Notes smiled lightly as he stepped on Garland’s corpse, causing it to break down immediately upon impact. His robe was sullied with Garland’s rotten flesh and blood.

「Haah, how pitiful. He didn’t even realize that fact until the very end. Thus, he willingly cooperated with my plans as long as I helped him to become a king. This greedy pig is really beyond saving.」

Notes raised his hands as he mocked Garland’s stupidity and ground the latter’s corpse with his foot by trampling over it mercilessly. He stepped right on Garland’s spine and snapped it in two, causing the sickening sound of bones breaking to reverberate through the room.

Though I still had no idea what this man was talking about, seeing his behaviour so far, I was convinced that he was some sort of lunatic bastard.

I focused my attention on Notes. It should be safe to use 《Status Check》 on Notes while he’s busy focusing on trampling on that pig’s corpse.

As I thought that, Notes pointed the skull towards me.

「Ghost Magic, 8th Rank; 《Heart Eater》」

Monster-like black smoke emerged from the skull and opened its huge jaw, rushing towards me as if wanting to swallow me whole.

But, I didn’t feel the need to dodge it.

「It seems you tried to do something but it’s futile. Now sleep… for eternity.」

The black smoke dispersed as soon as it came into contact with me. At the baffling sight, Notes’ eyes opened as wide as saucers.

「《Heart Eater》… isn’t working? Impossible, my magic never fails…」

「My robe can dispel the power of such low rank spells. It’s futile, give it up already.」

「Complete resistance against magic below 8th rank, such item should be… I see now… so the reason why the energy I need to gather with 《Sacrifice》become faster than my expectations is because you came into this mansion huh.」

Notes dropped the skull-shaped crystal to the ground and stretched out his arms.

「Time-Space Magic, 8th Rank; 《Dimension Pocket》.」

Notes took out a large cane that radiated green light from inside the magic circle.

「It’s been a while since I went all out. Though I wanted to hide my existence from the eyes of the upper realm… a trial has come before I’ve finished a great cause…」

Notes pointed his cane towards me.

「Ghost Magic, 10th Rank《Death》.」

A huge magic circle deployed in the center of the room. The skull-shaped crystal radiated pale blue light on top of the magic circle and then expanded at once. Garland’s corpse, being hit by the light, decomposed immediately while his clothes turned to dust. The surface of the floor and the walls deteriorated at once.

「Once, I massacred hundred soldiers at once with this ma—!」

Deep wrinkles formed on Notes’ handsome face as he saw the scene currently unfolding in front of his eyes.

「H-How can you still make such composed face!」

「Because my robe can dispel the power of low rank magic.」

I replied once again with the same answer as before.

The robe that Lunaire made for me could protect me from anything below super rank magic. In short, any magic from the 10th rank and below wouldn’t work on me.

Notes’ barrier magic, 《Sacrifice》, was 11th rank magic, but he couldn’t use it unless he made prior preparations for it. The only magic that he could activate during battle should be one or two ranks below that.

I readied the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 and ran towards him.

I’d already checked Notes’ status a while ago. I knew he couldn’t win against me.

Notes’ level didn’t even reach the 400 realm.

「S-Such thing! I, the loyal servant of Zorophilia have the duty to guide this world! I can’t die in this kind of p–!」

I swung the 《Hero Sword; Gilgamesh》 to smash the skull-shaped crystal on the floor. Cracks ran through the floor due to the impact of my attack.

The effects of 《Sacrifice》 could be felt receding. It had ended.

The skull-shaped crystal seemed to have been the core that maintained the barrier. With this, the barrier that was sapping the vitality of the citizens had finally been destroyed.
