"We'll talk about that later. First, I need to deal with this sneak attack."

I said, and then instantly fired a Lightning Spear towards a dark corner.

In the resulting explosion, a blond man in white clothing was blasted out, muttering, "My, my, how decisive, No mercy at all!"

Seeing the man, Natsuki's expression turned cold. "Snake Charmer! What is your purpose here on Itogami Island?!"

Yukina and the four Sword Shamans immediately drew their weapons, assuming defensive stances.

Dimitrie Vatler had intended to apologize politely, but then he saw the resurrected Avrora, and his expression changed drastically.

Then, his eyes lit up with a manic gleam, and he lunged towards her, muttering, "Avrora... My Avrora! I've finally found you again! This time, I will definitely..."

Whoosh!!!

Before Dimitrie Vatler could even get close, I casually slapped him, sending him flying.

"Dimitrie Vatler. Have you decided how you want to die yet?"

"Cough..." At this moment, Dimitrie Vatler, whose handsome face now bore a conspicuous handprint, spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly stood up from the wall.

When he raised his head and locked eyes with Kyoya, he finally saw clearly that the person before him was just a student-like youth.

How is this possible?!

His movements were so fast that I couldn't even react. Just how strong is he?

Dimitrie Vatler had initially scoffed at the First Primogenitor's order to investigate the source of the power that had shaken the world.

After all, he didn't believe there could be anyone in this world with such terrifying power—unless it was the Fourth Primogenitor.

He had thought it was the Fourth Primogenitor awakening her power, which was why he had extended the banquet invitation, hoping to obtain Nagisa's Primogenitor blood.

He hadn't expected my power to be so far beyond his expectations.

"Kyoya-sama! Please forgive my rudeness!"

Without hesitation, Dimitrie Vatler apologized, deciding to postpone his plans for the Fourth Primogenitor's blood.

However, he wasn't aware that I possessed mental manipulation abilities, and could read his thoughts clearly.

After learning of Dimitrie Vatler's inner thoughts, I couldn't help but sneer. "You think I don't know what you're thinking? You haven't given up on Nagisa and Avrora yet—You're better off dead!"

Hearing my words, Dimitrie Vatler was shocked. He hadn't expected Kyoya to be able to read his mind.

Deciding to drop the act, he immediately launched a preemptive strike, summoning his Two-Headed Dragon Familiar formed from the fusion of two beasts, and a Giant Green Serpent—Shakara

"Kill him!!!"

With Dimitrie Vatler's roar, the two familiars unleashed torrents of fire and light.

"....."

I drew [Sword of Promised Victory] and casually swung it.

The two Familiars and Dimitrie Vatler himself were instantly obliterated, vanishing without a trace.

This sudden turn of events stunned the girls. Even the Demonkind who had been drawn to the commotion were terrified by what they had just witnessed.

After all, Dimitrie Vatler was not only the Duke of Ardeal—a territory under the First Primogenitor's "Lost Warlord"—but also the Warlord's Empire's ambassador to Itogami Island.

And he was a trusted subordinate of the First Primogenitor. Yet, he had been instantly killed by me with a single sword strike.

The Demonkind present were dumbstruck.

Is this guy not afraid of the First Primogenitor's wrath?

Except for the four girls from the Lion King Agency—the other girls were well aware of my power and weren't particularly surprised.

"You just killed him like that. I'm afraid the Forgotten Warlord won't let this go easily!" Natsuki commented worriedly.

"So what? Killing him was a mercy. If the First Primogenitor dares to show his face, I'll destroy his entire Warlord's Empire." I scoffed disdainfully.

Natsuki: "....."

'Aren't you worried about causing Global panic?' But considering my power and personality, she just sighed, resigned.

Meanwhile, Yuiri Haba was staring at me with undisguised admiration, her eyes shining.

She was a sucker for Shoujo manga.

I had single-handly annihilated a powerful Vampire who wanted to take away his women—and declared that he would protect them. These words and actions had undoubtedly hit her G-spot.

"Since this is settled, let's go home!"

After speaking, a teleportation circle appeared beneath Kyoya's feet, and then, the group returned to the castle.

——

Soon, the news of me killing Dimitrie Vatler spread like wildfire. The First Progenitor was furious, and publicly declared that I would pay the price.

As for the other two Progenitors, they simply watched from the sidelines, making no moves.

At the same time—the Bureau of Astrology—Japan's Special Agency, also publicly condemned me for killing the ambassador to Itogami Island—However, their true goal was to take advantage of the chaos and manipulate Leviathan to destroy Itogami Island and eliminate Asagi Aiba.

As for the Three Saints of the Lion King Agency, they maintained a wait-and-see attitude regarding Kyoya's actions.

If Kyoya could withstand the First Primogenitor's retaliation, they would stick to their original plan.

If Kyoya died at the hands of the First Primogenitor, then they would change their plan and focus on monitoring Nagisa Akatsuki.

——

Back at the castle.

I prepared rooms for Sayaka Kirasaka, Shio Hikawa, Yuiri Haba, and Touka Fujisaka.

But then I suddenly remembered Vatler's reason for coming to Itogami Island: a terrorist organization called the Black Death Emperor Front.

And the current leader of the Black Death Emperor Front was Christoph Gardos, an old man with white hair, dressed in a military uniform.

He infiltrated Itogami Island to have Asagi Aiba decipher a stone tablet, then will plan to use [Nalakuvera] to destroy Itogami Island.

——

"So, it seems the Black Death Emperor Front will be targeting Asagi Aiba soon," I muttered to myself.

"Hmm? Who's targeting me?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out. I looked up and saw Asagi Aiba staring at me curiously.

Then, I explained the situation to everyone.

"So, the Black Death Emperor Front wants to destroy Itogami Island? In that case, I'll handle it!" Natsuki Minamiya said, pulling out her fan, looking calmly at Kyoya.
