"Who are you."
My bro began his questioning of the General Sloth.
"I am Behime... yeah."
"How are you going to explain this 'Prophecy' thing Lucy told us."
Already hitting hard with the questions? Aye bro?
"Simple, i saw it. You would help us destroy the world."
"Saw how?"
Its my turn to ask the questions!
"A vision..."
"Can you elaborate please!"
This girl is not properly answering!
Tapping my foot in annoyance, i continue asking questions with my brother.
"What are these visions."
"They show me stuff."
"How do you get these visions!"
"Through the dark..."
"How does that work."
"A special power i have."
"Whats the name of the special power?"
"Its called-... I'm sorry but... that is beyond my authority."
Authority?... a-authority.... hang on...
"This authority? What is i-"
"Sis, thats enough."
Huh... huh? Huh?! What do you mean! She knows what this authority could be!
"...fine!"
I get so annoyed that i pout.
??◇?
My sis pouted. Sigh.
"Alright then, why did you call us here."
"To help with our mission."
"You called us here to help you destroy the world."
"Correct."
Strange, that is almost the complete opposite of what Lucy, General Pride, spoke of.
"We will ask for more information when speaking to the Demon Lord."
Her eyes narrowed ever so slightly when i spoke.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
"You do not need to... i already spoke about this to The Lord."
She seems slightly defensive.
"Then we can check with her for more information."
She glared at me with annoyance before standing up, the pressure she emitted made standing hard.
"What are you doing..."
"Will you listen to me? It seems your sister wont last any longer."
When she mentioned my sister, i looked to her to see her on the ground trying to breathe.
"...fine."
"Good. This conversation is private."
When i agreed, the pressure disappeared as she put her finger over her lips as she sat back down on her bed.
"When the Lord says if you know their goal, just say yes. You want to escape this world, right?"
Once i helped my sister up, i nodded.
"Then listen."
As she finished talking, Lucy opened the door.
"Alright guys! The meeting is prepared! Follow me so you can meet our Lord!"
Hearing the cheerful voice, i felt almost glad to get out of there.
"Stop barging in."
"Oh shush Behime!"
We followed Lucy out of Behime's room as she closed the door behind us.
□?◇?
"...◆, stop hiding."
Hearing the footsteps fade, the Candidate of Spades began to speak while laying on the bed lazily.
"Pft, what was all that about ???"
The Candidate of Diamonds, still wearing the blindfold as a bandana, came out of a mirror.
"◆, what do you think of the girl, is she fit for becoming ??? I believe so."
"Hm? Oh yeah, if we consider the benefits only, she would almost become ??."
The Candidate of Spades raised an eyebrow when the Candidate of Diamonds began only speaking of benefits.
"And the negatives?"
"O-oh... the negatives?"
The Candidate of Diamonds looked away slightly.
"What of the Losses."
"Well... if we continue our plan, she would become very dependent on us... she also has a clean heart, making it harder for us to continue our grander plan. I suppose she isn't fit for this."
While the Candidate of Diamonds spoke, the Candidate of Spades began thinking before speaking.
"We will continue."
"What?! Did you not hear me!"
"◆, she is the closest we ever have to getting ??, we cant lose this chance."
"I-i know, but still ??, this is not very beneficial for us! W-what about ??! Lets get ?? first!"
The Candidate of Diamonds began to sweat as he spoke.
"We do not even know the requirments of getting ??. You should know this is not beneficial for us to gain ?? before ??."
"B-but..."
"No buts. We will continue our plan with ?? then gain ?? later."
The Candidate of Diamonds let out a sigh.
"Fine."
□□◇?
The three were at a camp inbetween the dwarves and elves countries.
"Yarren, it's your turn to be on night watch."
The mage spoke while poking the sleeping rogue with her staff.
"Mmmrg... fine..."
Agreeing while half asleep, he sits up while rubbing his eyes.
Seeing him still half asleep, she comes close to his ear and whispered.
"I am Trozia..."
He flinches as he stood up on guard... he soon realized what happened as he fully awakens.
"Oh, haha. Not funny."
Grumbling, he begins to walk away while hearing the mage's small giggles before she lies down to rest.
"Damn, fucking... ugh."
While cursing under his breath, he checks on all the refugees from the, now destroyed, Holy Empire.
Sighing, he continues his patrol.
Halfway through his patrol, he sees someone... with a bandana?
"Who's there!"
He takes out his daggers.
"Ah, hello! Please don't be afraid!"
"Who are you!"
Remaining alert, he continues trying figire out who this person was. A bandana? Slightly tall with blue eyes? Red hair? A black suit with a diamond card on his left pocket?
"State your name!"
"Sigh, why do people never listen!"
Slash—
Coughing blood, Yarren looks down to see a card? 1 of Diamonds on the ground as a slash mark from his right shoulder down to the card near his left foot began to eject blood rapidly.
"How sad. Well, this will help."
Slash—
Slash—
Slash—
Three more cards sliced him before he could even register the attacks... he could feel his body get heavier and colder.
"W-who are you..."
He fell on his knees as he felt his life fade... he looks up to see the man.
"I... am the richest being in the multiverse, so, just die now."
He saw the man put his hand into something as he felt his body drain of blood and become coins before disappearing...
Soon, the man took out something, a mask, before putting it on. His face shifted into his own...
"...monster."
"How rude!"
Slash—
He saw the world flip upside down as he sees a card flutter in the air with him... the 5 of Diamonds cut his head off before his whole body became coins.
"Tch, worthless. Only 50 coins."
Was the final words he heard before finally dying, seeing the man copy his body shape.
