The Queen of Death Return
Weapons for War

Chapter 30: Preparation for War

"Are you ready, Zain?"

"Of course, Master!"

I closed my eyes.

Feel the energy around me. Gather that energy on my sword.

My target is a lion-shaped rock in front.

It's time!

"Light Slash!"

Left, right, center, stab from below!

*crack!

The stone statue was smashed into pieces.

I managed to master Light Slash!

"Good work, Zain, you've mastered my mastery of the technique,"

"This is all thanks to your teaching, Master,"

"Haha! What if you buy me a meal,"

"All right."

My master is one of the 12 Saint Saints. More precisely, the former 12 Saint Saint. He was the one who helped me fight Dragonewt during the Black Dragon attack. The condition of Master is very unlikely to fight anymore, it is because part of his body has been damaged by the soul destroyer attack he received first.

Master took the decision to teach me Martial Art and its flagship technique, Light Slash. An attack that could strike in all directions at the same time. Compared to Master, my attack has not reached the point where in one move it can directly attack in all directions. Also, Master's attack formed a flash of light, while my attack formed a blue aura slash. That's my Swordmaster job. Master mastered a technique that should be mastered by a Swordmaster.

"Huwaa! This food is really good! Treat me to eat often, Zain!"

"Teacher, you've been free since you retired from your duties as a Saint,"

Teacher's holding my shoulder. "Zain, life does not have to follow the wishes of others. You are free to choose your wishes. And this is my wish, to live in peace as a commoner,"

"Is being a hero a life choice?"

"It depends on your wishes. If you have a desire to protect someone, then it's a hero's life choice,"

Who am I protecting?

The thought crossed my head.

Since I came to this world, many people have helped me. Especially my old party colleagues. I failed to protect them. Lucas suffered a permanent injury that left him unable to fight. The whereabouts of Yulia and Andrew are unknown.

The teacher stood up from his seat.

"Will the teacher go?"

"Well, I'm a little tired, man,"

"Well, thank you for today,"

"Zain, I want to tell you something,"

Why suddenly?

"What is it, Master?"

Teacher brought his body closer to me. "Supervise the movements of the Crown Prince" he whispered.

"Huh?"

"All right! I'm gonna go."

Crown Prince? I understand why Master was wary of him, it was because the Crown Prince was strongly opposed to the presence of the Holy Church. Behind his rude attitude, the Crown Prince loved his Kingdom very much. That was evidenced by the tens of thousands of troops ready for war under the orders of the Crown Prince. And he strongly opposed the decision of the Maphas Witchcraft Kingdom to request an alliance with the Rexist Kingdom.

It had been more than 2 months since the Black Dragon incident. There has been no news of the Maphas Mage Kingdom to date.

I let out my breath. "What am I supposed to do now, huh?"

I'd better go home for now.

 -------------------------

I walked back to my house.

It's getting dark. The city is getting quieter. Residents agreed to limit activities at night. Only a few places to eat and grocery stores are still open until the middle of malan. This was because they were still traumatized by the night attack from Dragonewt. Well, this looks a lot better. Crime rates are declining.

Huh uh?

I felt the magic energy not far from where I was.

The witch? There were many witches, they were gathered somewhere.

I ran down the small alley to get to the source of the magic energy.

What are witches doing in a place like this?!

The magic energy is getting stronger. It indicates that I am near them.

The small alley I was passing through was connected to a park near the town square. The garden was quite spacious, there was only a grass field and a stone statue in the center.

There were people standing in every corner of the park holding a burning magic wand.

Do they guard this park area? I can't see it from this distance.

I walked to the park.

A barrier was placed over the park area.

So those guys made a barrier.

I tried to talk to one of the witches in the corner of the park.

"Excuse me, what's going on here?"

The witch looked at me.

I showed him a gold metal token.

"P-hero?! Forgive my impoliteness!"

"Forgot that, what's going on inside?"

"New weapons are coming. The numbers are so many, we don't have a large place to use teleportation items, therefore we use this park,"

New weapon? I think the Royal's weapons are still good.

"Mmmm ...."

"What's up, Mr Hero?"

"Who's using the goods teleportation magic?"

"Ah, it's Miss Emina and Miss Licia. The two of them simultaneously used large-scale teleportation magic,"

It would make sense if they used it.

"They'll be here tomorrow morning to move the weapons from somewhere else,"

I wonder about the weapons they bought. Looks like I should be here in the morning.

"Alright, thanks for the information,"

 -----------------------

Next morning.

I came back to visit the park. The atmosphere was so crowded, many people flocked to see what was happening in the park.

Only, the previously transparent protector, had now turned pitch-black. They seemed to want to keep what was happening inside.

I showed my token and the witch let me in.

"Huh?" I looked at every corner of the park.

There are no weapons. Just a few people in the middle of the park.

Wait ....

I narrowed my eyes to clearly see the people in the middle of the park.

Miss Emina, Miss Licia, King, and ... The Archbishop? What the hell is he doing here?

In the middle of them was a man wearing clothes that looked like a black suit.

I went to those important people.

The black suit man wore a bag that was quite large in size.

If I'm not mistaken, this man must have offered the King a weapon. I've seen people like this in my world. They are called sales.

"Your Majesty the King, the weapon of the Luxtier Charity Association this time is better than the previous one," the man said with a small smile.

"Right, Your Majesty, I've seen the weapons he had before" Miss Emina said.

The man opened the bag and pulled out a dagger.

The Archbishop took the dagger.

His expression looked surprised at the dagger. I don't know for sure his real expression, because his eyes are covered in white cloth.

"Rune. Where'd you get the runes?" ask the Archbishop.

"Sorry, Miss Bishop, it's the secret of the great boss,"

"So you guys still have a lot of rune weapons in there?"

"We plan to sell it to the whole Kingdom, Miss Bishop,"

I don't know what is meant by runes. It seems like it's some kind of power booster on the weapon.

"Wait, if you sell it to the entire Kingdom, what about the Maphas Mage Kingdom?" ask Miss Licia.

"Of course they got a part, miss. However, the weapons we offer you are still superior to their weapons,"

"Hero." The Archbishop handed the dagger to me.

Does he want me to try it?

This dagger is very light. It never hurts to try this dagger.

"Summon Magic!" Miss Licia cast a summoning magic.

A wolf of considerable size came out from the magic circle.

"Try it, Mr. Zain,"

The wolf is at C level. The speed is very troublesome.

The wolf ran towards me.

I'll finish with one strike!

"Light Slash!"

*crack!

I cut the entire body of the wolf simultaneously.

Body shaking.

Not likely. This speed is equivalent to Master! And also, I used a dagger, not a sword!

"What do you think, Hero?" ask the Archbishop.

"It's amazing!"

"That's what he said, King, I advise you to buy this weapon,"

I see, the Archbishop is the reason why the King is here. He tried to get the King to buy all these weapons without spending any money from the Holy Church.

"Alright, I will buy it, immediately prepare a check for the Luxtier Trade Association!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, we will immediately prepare your order,"

I don't care who's going to pay, this gun is really amazing, we have to have it.

"His Majesty the King, Miss the Archbishop!" Someone came running towards us.

"What's going on?!" ask the King in a high tone.

"We get a reply letter from the Maphas Witch Kingdom!"

The King and the Archbishop left this place.

Now it's just me, Miss Emina, Miss Licia, and the merchant.

"Miss, I got a message that our men have prepared the weapons" said the merchant.

"alright. Go, Emina!"

Two of the Kingdom's strongest mages cast large-scale item telerpotation spells.

It will take a lot of mana. I hope you guys make it.

Magic circles appeared and stretched out a vast area the size of a garden.

"Teleportation!" The two witches shouted simultaneously.
