Chapter 41: 15 year old Inglis and the Town Ruled by a Highlander (12)
Cyrene who had completely transformed into a Magic Stone Beast raised her hand overhead, on her palm was a lump resembling a gem bulging out. From the gem, a flash of white light gushed out. When the light hit the nearby wall, the wall visibly turned red and disintegrated, as if it was burned instantaneously. Inglis assumed that it must be a heat ray of fairly high heat.
Cyrene unleashed it in every direction, trying to engulf the whole castle in flames. The Knights who tried to stop her would only get inevitably swallowed into the light. If this continued on!
「…Lady Cyrene has become a Magic Stone Beast! Don’t tell me…!」
As Inglis tried to look for the cause, she was reminded of a similar event in the past. Three years ago, the incident where the former Holy Knight Leon turned Rahal into a Magic Stone Beast.
If she recalled correctly, it was due to a secret drug by the name of Prism Powder. Using that, Leon turned Rahal into a Magic Stone Beast.
Did the same thing happen here as it did back then? Leon confessed that he received the drug from the Ironblood Chain Brigade, an anti-Highlander guerilla organization.
「Is this the Ironblood Chain Brigade’s doing…?」 「Just like what Mr. Leon did to Rahal…!?」 「Yeah, maybe. But, when did…」
At this particular time, Inglis’ ear caught the echo of a woman laughing in the courtyard below.
「AHAHAHAHAHA!! EAT S̲H̲I̲T̲!! YALL HIGHLANDERS SHOULD GO DIE IN HELL! MY SON WAS KILLED BY YOU PIGHEADS! I’LL NEVER EVER EVER EVER F̲U̲C̲K̲I̲N̲G̲ FORGIVE YOU ALL!! GO F̲U̲C̲K̲I̲N̲G̲ ROT IN HELLL!!!!!」
