Chapter 13: The Unknown.

'H-How was that possible?... I can predict the future itself, yet she still managed to kill Tear!... I can't hold back any longer.'

Black smoke absorbed Tear's body and I analyzed the skill. Laplace ordered Footman to not move as the three of us were in a stalemate.

Footman recovered from the previous damages and enhanced himself. He was running out of magicule as I restricted the magicules to flow from [ Plane of Euthymia ].

'I only need 1 minute to fully analyze her skill... It seems that they don't plan to attack me...'

I was also slowly losing a lot of Magicule as I was currently activating a barrier around the village to protect the oger Village and was hiding Veldora's huge body under the ground.

'Veldora is taking too much strain on my processors.'

Currently, I only had 2 Unique Skills [ Banquet ] and [ Baleful Omen ] as the other Unique Skills were combined to create stronger Unique Skills.

'This doesn't make any sense... Why is she not attacking?'

Laplace and Footman were already angry but they were still calm as they were currently low on magicule content and they could not replenish it with the loss of Tear, they were extremely desperate for more power.

{ Notice: Full assimilation on Unique Skill [ Greate Sage ] and Unique Skill [ Deviant ] with Unique Skill [ Baleful Omen ] has been completed. }

{ Confirmed: Analysation of Unique Skill [ Optimistic ] and Unique Skill [ Manipulator ] has been completed. }

{ Notice: Would you like to start assimilation of Unique Skill [ Great Sage ], Unique Skill [ Optimistic ], and Unique Skill [ Manipulator ]... YES/NO? }

'How much time would it take?'

{ Confirmed: 1 day. }

'That's too long... Assimilate it when the battle is over... and do not ask me to do it...'

{ Confirmed }

'My vision is more... Hmm~... Let's just get this over with...'

I could now use Tear's skills to their fullest extent thanks to [ Baleful Omen ] and my natural talent for learning new things helped me a lot.

"I order myself to kill them!!"

My power increased by two times and swiftly cut Footman in half. In my eyes, they were just bugs but, Laplace already used [ Falsifier ] and he managed to escape his death.

'I can't continue this any longer...'

My magicule content was already running out and in a few seconds, they would be able to kill me in an instant.

They swiftly moved as Laplace used his skill again to see the future where I hesitated for a second and he quickly took that chance and tried to stab me in the stomach.

"Foolish BOY!"

Suddenly, thousands of swords clashed with his knives, and Footman's huge body was stabbed multiple times and he eventually died.

{ Notice! An unknown crack of space and time has been identified in the [ Plaine of Euthymia ] and the identity of the creature is unknown. }

The two of them suddenly got swept up by a gush of wind and the two of them were taken away by the wind.

{ Identity Confirmed! }

"Why did she side with them?"

I was grateful for not being able to fight with them but at the same time, I was confused and did not know what to do as I was conflicted about what to feel.

"This is definitely the work of one of HER WISH..."

"But how did they get a hand of her wish?"

Veldora slowly rose from the ground and looked at me with admiration and a look of... Anger or suspicions on how I was able to quickly be able to evolve into a True Demon Lord.

'What a... Weird... Girl...'

———

In the Ogre Village, Rimuru was sleeping and his body melted into liquid...

My original plan was to kill Rimuru and analyze all his skills through and through since even if I can analyze his skills, I can't completely copy them as it is a Unique Skills.

I started poking his body with a stick and started to think about what to do with him. I grabbed his liquid body and started to absorb him slowly...

{ Notice: A new Unique Skill of the Individual Rimuru Tempest has been found... Would you like to analyze it? YES/NO }

"Yes..."

{ Confirmed! Unique Skill [ Loyal Hound ] has been analyzed and the Individual Mikoto Zoldyck has gained a new Sub-skill of Unique Skill [ Baleful Omen ] called [ Owner's Leash ] }

The sub-skill basically can command him and strengthen him every time I command him. Sometimes, the laws of the Voice of The World could be bent, depending on the order and his will.

"You will have a tough and bloody life as a Hound of the Zoldyck family... How... Sad and... Pathetic..."

I felt remorse for him as the thought of him being killed by some who knows who.

I stood up and my expression changed as a crack in space was created in front of me. I went in and saw Mother drinking tea as Kalluto was watching over Killua playing on the side.

A butler was taking care of Kalluto and Alluka as Killua saw me and wanted to get near me but I made a gesture on my hand to take Killua, Kalluto, and Alluka somewhere else.

The butlers swiftly moved and took them away as it was obvious that a huge fire was about to happen.

"Mother, tell me the truth..."

I didn't even need to finish my sentence to make her realize that the Wish Card was used.

She stopped drinking her tea and looked at me as though she was hunting a dog. In a split second, the once flowery field where life was abundantly changed into pure hell where the stench of blood could be smelled from a mile away.

"It seems that little Mikoto has evolved into a True Demon Lord."

Her cunning eyes that could foresee all truth pierced my body like a blade and read me like a book.

"Stop changing the topic..."

"You know as well as I do that there are only 3 ways to get a Wish Card, 1st if you are from the main family, 2nd if you're a member of the elite butlers who has been working for at least 100 years, and has achieved a great feat in their lifetime, and third if it was stolen from a member of the family by either hiring a member of the family or one of the members of the main Household was killed."

I didn't just randomly pick Mother from all the people in the main household. There was an exact reason why I picked her. It was because of her eyes that can read anyone at a glance.

She was the primary suspect as she most likely knew about the name of one of the sub-skills of [ Baleful Omen ], [ Plaine of Euthymia ] and she was paid by either the Yuuki Kagurazaka, the EASTERN EMPIRE, or the Akatsuki.

"So let me ask you again Mother. Who did you steal the Wish Card from?"

So sorry for the late update, I was too busy with my job and school. I'll give you guys an extra chap as compensation.
