Chapter 203: 15-year-old Inglis and the Evil Hyrule Menace (8)
From what Inglis heard from Pullum’s Brother, the man named Hallim, it seemed that what Tiffany, the Hyrule Menace, did wasn’t just looting the residents, but also giving the power of Highlanders to those she chose to be her pawns. And not only that, it seemed that she even seduced them, ensnaring their hearts to do her bidding. This behavior was so different from the other Hyrule Menaces, namely Eris, Ripple, and Cystia.
Those three didn’t have the authority to turn anyone into a Highlander. Although they were indeed sent by the Highland, Eris and Ripple in particular had made it their life mission to protect the Midland and everyone that lived in it, and they took their mission earnestly.
The concept of accumulating pawns under them using seduction was beyond them. If it wasn’t, with the beauty and the strength that both Eris and Ripple had, the Charalia Kingdom would have become a huge mess. At any rate, this Hyrule Menace called Tiffany seems to be different.
She possessed a different kind of strength and had a different standing, perhaps then, Inglis might expect a different kind of battle too. That, she looked forward to. But for now, she had to enjoy the battle right in front of her.
Ian’s persuasion was ineffective and a fight seemed to be inevitable.
「Leave the rest to me. No, if anything, not having this development after delving into an enemy’s territory is pretty boring. Fufufu…」
As a prelude to a battle with a Hyrule Menace, this should serve as a good warm-up.
「No, well……you didn’t have to be so cheerful… I mean, in case you forgot about it, Sir Hallim is Pullum’s older brother and the son of a cabinet minister……So please, I beg you, leave his life intact!」
「Of course I will. Fighting strong people is only good if you can do it time and time again. Just defeating him for one time would be too much of a wasted potential. As long as he’s alive, he can come back to ask for a rematch.」
