Chapter 424.2: Traitor's Case
The former boss of the secret organization 『Nine-Tails Shadow Fox (Kyubi no Kage Kitsune)』――Commonly known as the 『Fox (Kitsune)』. I, who was once known as the “Sky Tail (Kuubi)”, has now been driven into a hopeless situation.
It all started with the incident at the “Supreme Martial Arts Festival (Buteisai)”. After that, I was pursued as a traitor by the organization, but I used all my strength to fight back against the organization’s pursuers and was finally defeated by a boss of the same rank――”Sword Tail (Kenbi)”.
I managed to put up an absolutely impenetrable barrier, but in this state, even I couldn’t attack. If I weakened the barrier even for a moment, that crazy woman who has allocated all her power to her sword would not miss the opportunity.
However, “Sword Tail (Kenbi)” is a boss, so she is busy. She can’t keep an eye on me forever. There was a chance to win, but “Sword Tail’s (Kenbi)” move was beyond my expectations.
Code, the highly mobile fortress city. I was thrown into the prison of this city, which reproduced an Advanced Physical Civilization city.
『Fufufu…… As expected, even you can’t break through this prison, can you? After that, it will analyze the barrier and then I’ll slowly cook you up.』 (Sword Tail)
Code, the highly mobile fortress city was not under my jurisdiction so I didn’t know much about it, but as “Sword Tail (Kenbi)” had said, the power of Code was extremely troublesome. The city’s military power and weaponry are considerable, but what is particularly troubling for a Magi is the unique anti-magic field that disperses any Magic they construct.
The reason why I am still able to maintain my barrier is because it was set up outside the city. The barrier repels the city’s anti-magic attacks. Once the barrier is broken, it will be impossible to set up a barrier of this level in this city.
If it was just a regular prison, it should have been possible to escape even with the anti-magic measures in place, but that plan wasn’t going to work. Apparently, that woman, infuriatingly, did not underestimate me. If she can establish a strong position within Code and gain the full cooperation of the city, she will, one day, eventually be able to analyze my barrier.
