That completely did it.
Now Melzef would not be able to get up again.
“What do I do about this guy for now ……?”
I said while glaring at Melzef.
Should I put a magic formula in his arms so that he’ll never be able to carry anything heavier than a fork?
It’s cruel, but it’s not off the table. There’s a chance he’ll come after us again.
And then I can use the Ortem to forcefully deport him back to land.
“…… Impossible. Even though it is incomplete, for me to lose even though I have a part of the power of the founder ……”
Melzef gets up, his body twitching.
He breathes hard, shakes his shoulders, and looks at me.
He then swung his arm and struck at me.
But he already had none of the power of his previous mutated state.
He was bounced off by the Ortem that flew from the side and put my body on the ground again.
“The duel is already over. You know understand much, don’t you?”
Melzef glared at me and got up silently.
I’m getting irritated just looking at him in that sorry state.
“Why ……”
“…………”
“Why are you so desperate to kill your own daughter! You’re really the worst!”
Melzef did not respond.
He just looks around at me and the Ortem with a dangerous look in his eyes.
He is still looking for an opportunity to attack me.
His every move makes me angry.
“My father is a pushy, bossy man who doesn’t listen to me if I try to go against his customs and push things too far. But when I was attacked by a magic beast, he risked his life to protect me! You, who risked his life to kill his own daughter, you’re no longer a father, or anything! You’re just a piece of shit!”
Melzef stops moving. But he doesn’t seem to be talking back to my cursing.
This man fundamentally doesn’t care about Mea.
He lifts the tentacles of Hydeem Magimetal from around him.
I was going to try to be as gentle as possible, but I was beginning to lose interest in that.
“Dafne, you know! He went to a lot of trouble to play the villain so that you wouldn’t have to deal with Mea! Besides, he’s been troubled for a long time! He could have stopped chasing Mea as soon as you told him to stop! Isn’t that right?”
“You, you, what do you know!”
Melzef shouted.
I was unexpectedly overwhelmed.
There were large tears flowing from his expressionless eyes like a Noh mask.
“You think Dafne and the others are good guys? I know they are! I wanted to tell them to stop, too! Isn’t that obvious! Mea, Mea is my daughter, you know! She’s the last living remnant of my beloved wife’s last attempt on her life! You’re only a dozen years old, what do you know about what I feel!”
“T-Then tell him to stop ……!”
“Yes, of course! If I tell them to stop, or even if I don’t tell them to stop, they’ll stop as soon as they show any sign of it! Even though they know that the red stone was a tool to turn all of us Doom tribe into Julem’s slaughtering puppets! If I tell them, they will indeed stop! There’s no way I could tell them!”
I fall silent.
I had thought that Melzef was more like a cold, evil demon.
“How could you ……”
“All right. Then I’ll stop you.”
I waved my wand.
A flying Ortem knocked Melzef off his feet.
This time he should have lost consciousness.
“Gah!”
“Don’t worry. I want you to leave everything about Mea to me. I won’t let her become Julem’s pawn.”
Melzef’s body flew into the air and was slammed into the mass of Hydeem Magimetal.
He didn’t get up again.
I transformed a large Ortem, carved it into a tub with my wood carving knife, and placed Melzef inside.
This should get him to the Dinrat Kingdom.
It’s not perfect, but I’d like to think that …… he’ll be able to handle it because he’s a monster too.
“…… I’m going to return your arm to normal. So please don’t come at me again.”
The tubs drifted away to the land of the kingdom.
I decided to go back to the ship.
Although I had no choice, I was suddenly away from Mea’s side.
In addition to that, since Mea’s father smashed it, there is no Ortem to watch over her now.
Maybe I should’ve left at least three or four guard Ortem behind.
I’m sure they’ll be fine, but …… there’s always a chance.
I should go back right away.
I looked up at the sky.
“I can’t believe it’s gotten that big ……”
It was still bright, but there was a huge white circle floating in the sky.
It’s Moon Din. The Moon festival Dinmei is approaching.
It was ominous for me.
But then Mea’s father showed up at the most inopportune time.
It was the price I had to pay for running away, but I was glad that he had backed off, but Gizel’s appearance was also very delicately timed.
“No, the reason why Gizel came was because of the fortune-telling by that Shim or some other underling of Julem.”
I muttered that much, and then I realized
There’s no doubt that Count Julem was trying to create an opening by turning Gizel against her own people in order to get Mea away from me in the first place.
If that’s the case, I wonder if Melzef was also led there for the same purpose.
I think he was trying to shake my mind with Gizel, and if that failed, he would try to create an opening by attacking me directly with Melzef.
If that’s the case, there’s no reason why Count Julem wouldn’t target Mea at this time.
He’s the one who was so careful with Gizel, letting Sim get into her and setting traps for her.
I’m sure he’s been making careful preparations for a long time to be able to tear Mea away from me at any time he wants.
In the first place, the fact that Melzef was able to pinpoint our whereabouts at the last minute was too suspicious.
I had been working with a small group of people to prevent the information from getting out, and I’m sure that Dafne, who was one of Melzef’s top subordinates, had misled him.
It makes sense to think that there was someone who, like Gizel, gave him information and guided him right before he left.
It was Melzef, who was desperate to kill Mea at any cost before fleeing the country.
Even if he hadn’t been able to get her to trust him when he was with Gizel, he could have reached out to her as an appropriate third party and gossiped about her, Melzef would have had no choice but to comply.
“Don’t tell me ……”
I’d like to think that I’m overthinking this.
However, I don’t want to doubt it …… but there is one person around me who has been giving me advice on what to do everywhere I go, just like Gizel’s travel guide was Sim.
And now she’s working with Mea.
It’s too much of a coincidence.
