Trash of the Count's Family

“The mana has stabilized!”

“I know.”

This underground area seemed to have been created without caring about the aesthetics. Bear King Sayeru was receiving a report from his subordinate as he looked around this area that was located underneath a regular home in Puzzle City.

‘It stopped.’

The mana that had been extremely chaotic until just moments ago suddenly returned to normal.

Sayeru did not specialize in aura or magic, but even he could feel the flow of mana as an extremely strong individual.

‘Shit!’

He could not stop frowning. His pale face was full of wrath and chaos.

‘What the hell is going on?’

It was because he could not figure out what was going on.

‘…Sure, we did not anticipate a mana disturbance tool, but it is an acceptable variable.’

The mana disturbance had suddenly struck Puzzle City.

Sayeru could tell that Cale’s side had realized that they had abducted Deruth Henituse as soon as he felt the mana go awry.

Furthermore, it was understandable that Cale’s side was using the mana disturbance tool to prevent Duke Deruth’s abductors from teleporting away with him.

However, there was something else he did not understand.

‘…Figuring out that Duke Deruth is abducted means that they found out that our liege has disguised himself as Duke Deruth.’

Sayeru was hiding away underground but sent his subordinate to stealthily check the situation above ground. Of course, he put the Dark Elves he kept alive instead of using them for the summoning ritual at the forefront.

‘He said that they saw our liege’s power in the sky.’

His subordinate had reported that they saw an ancient power with the sky attribute looking ready to be used in the night sky. Furthermore, Sayeru had been able to feel the White Star’s power that covered the sky over Puzzle City while remaining underground.

He may be underground, but the door heading down was open.

“…Something is weird.”

However, that sky power was not used and just disappeared.

None of the White Star’s powers showed up after that.

Bear King Sayeru was saying that it was weird while having ominous thoughts on his mind.

‘…Perhaps.’

Was his liege, the White Star, defeated?

The White Star was completely balanced now that he got an earth attribute ancient power. He was so strong to the point that Sayeru would fear for his life if they fought.

‘But he could still lose.’

Sayeru’s experiences until now made it impossible for him to ignore the potential that the White Star was defeated by Cale.

‘That is why it is even weirder.’

According to his subordinate and the Dark Elves, all of Cale’s friends were fighting against the monster. The only ones not visible were Cale Henituse and the White Star.

‘That means that my liege fought against Cale Henituse, who had no help…. But my liege was defeated without much uproar?’

Sayeru had predicted that over half of Puzzle City would have been destroyed, not by the monster but by the White Star, even if he ended up losing in the end.

However, the White Star had disappeared quietly without much happening other than by the monster.

Yes, the White Star had quietly disappeared.

He was sure it was because of Cale Henituse.

Sayeru commanded the Bears and his subordinates to hide underground as soon as he realized that fact.

‘Hide!’

He told them to at least thoroughly hide themselves during the mana disturbance.

He told them to only leave the Dark Elves out to stand guard.

He himself laid low after giving the order as well.

“What should we do?”

The mana was stable once again.

Sayeru looked toward the cautiously asking Bear subordinate, as well as the mage and the black mage behind him. The mage and black mage had stiff expressions on their faces as they commented.
