Chapter 273 Cruel Spirit
Hamilton was very concerned about how far these free-range operatives had progressed. If something unexpected happened in the future, these obedient good-for-nothings would become a consuming resource that could drag on for a long time. However, it was highly unlikely that they would become such a burden. They were just regional leaders. This idiot hadn't even managed to extract anything from the Americas. How could he possibly compete with him?
What he needs to do now is verify it.
"You said you were a skilled knight in the Order of Knights, willing to risk your life for the Round Table."
"I think... your true nature is definitely stronger than it appears."
"It was indeed a bit rushed before, and I didn't investigate how you killed those good-for-nothings. Now is a good opportunity."
"Regardless of status, if it were a one-on-one fight, do you think you could kill me?"
Without any warning, Hamilton launched into a barrage of deadly questions.
During the lulls in the infighting at the park, Hamilton only had a basic understanding of Zelda—this person had only had one forbidden object implanted in her body, the number of which had long been erased from the database. All he knew was that it possessed an extraordinary ability to resonate with the soul, similar to mind control in movies and TV shows. It was quite rare in the Eoubs circle. Those observers who could command a bunch of scapegoats without doing anything all day long more or less had the characteristics of mind-related forbidden objects—this was the main reason why he spared Zelda's life.
Although he is physically useless, he can directly attack any life form on a mental level, which is not abnormal enough. According to him, when the threshold for using this characteristic reaches its peak, he will enter a kind of... indescribable space, which is very strange. However, the time when it appears is very rare and irregular, sometimes at the end of the month, and sometimes even once every six months or a year.
Within that area, Zelda could see a dense network of light, like the branches of a leaf vein... Its main body was composed of tens of thousands of fine lines, each containing extremely strong soul power, which he could control.
Upon hearing this, even Hamilton was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he had indeed picked up a useful piece of trash. Such exaggerated characteristics had not allowed Zelda to reach a B-class or even better status, which could only mean that he was utterly useless.
"You flatter me so much..."
"Although I can instantly kill those subordinates, there are still obstacles when facing opponents with strong characteristics."
"In other words, I can sense whether the other party possesses strong mental power. If it is too strong, I will lose."
Zelda immediately launched into a string of flowery words, inwardly cursing that she had really messed with her luck. She knew she had to stay calm, or her life would be in danger.
Hamilton felt that this idiot was just fooling him and was already quite annoyed.
Zelda knew she had to demonstrate her value immediately.
“Actually, I can see something more profound, such as the true root of the taboos they implanted.”
"Excuse me for my insolence, Your Excellency Knight Commander, but your characteristic... is the very essence of all concepts in this world that represent 'force'."
"If you utter another word of nonsense, believe me, I'll twist your head off and stuff it into your bladder."
Hamilton was about to raise his hand as he spoke—
"Your characteristics were only developed within the fluctuation layer!"
"Although I have not yet witnessed some of your abilities, I can see much more; the physical destruction is only one part of it."
"Any energy that is given the concept of 'force'... This includes mental power, but you don't have a concrete understanding of it yet."
"This is the rarity of conceptual properties, second only to—forbidden objects possessing supreme divinity."
Seidar finished speaking at almost the fastest speed he had ever used in his life.
Hamilton laughed, his expression so amiable.
"I was just joking."
"Please don't mind it, and you don't need to use honorifics for me anymore."
“I’m a very easygoing person, and that would make us seem very distant.”
It's truly lucky to have stumbled upon something powerful enough to turn the tide. It's a waste to use this piece of junk simply as a measuring machine. Developing mental 'power'? That sounds impressive.
"I understand, Zelda."
"From this moment on, your life is no longer trash. Your existence will determine where the entire Mirror of Eternal Dreams will belong."
"You must guide me to control that power."
"Hmm... it's what you call mental energy or soul fluctuations or something like that."
Hamilton said calmly.
at the same time.
"Your Highness, Knight Commander."
"We're only five kilometers from Zone N89. Should we make preparations in advance?"
The subordinate leading the group asked this question.
However, without any warning.
Hamilton flicked his finger, and an invisible force suddenly erupted, tearing open the top of the armored vehicle. The captain, who was confused by what was happening, was lifted into the air and then grabbed by the head and lifted up. In less than three seconds, the man's eyes became severely bloodshot, and his entire skull cracked, making a terrifying cracking sound.
"Your value has been proven, but you bastard, you actually ignored the question I raised in the first place."
"Now I need you to activate your special ability and save this piece of trash."
Hamilton continued speaking calmly.
He couldn't completely trust someone capable of assassinating him unless... the other party did everything in their power to prove that they were simply incapable of doing so.
Seeing this, everyone, including Catherine, was stunned. Damn it, this demon god is truly inhuman. His ruthlessness is no less than that of the nobles of Eoubs. It's really gone too far. If this continues, maybe one day it will be their turn to die.
Although Zelda was flustered, she hurriedly said, "My lord! You are overthinking it. It is very difficult to directly attack someone's mind. Besides, as I said, if I encounter an authority figure like yourself, I cannot penetrate him at all."
Hamilton clicked his tongue. He naturally didn't believe this one-sided story. He tightened his grip on the captain's head, his fingers sinking deep into the skull, causing blood to ooze out.
"As I've said before, it has nothing to do with status."
"I need to see what's going on with you. You must do as I say."
“I can sense the exertion of any force in this world, except for that ethereal spiritual realm.”
"So you must use all your strength, or you will all die."
Hamilton did not allow him to refute.
Zelda is numb.
That's absolutely outrageous!
Bang--
The next second, the captain's entire head was crushed. Because he had controlled the direction of the force beforehand, the splattered blood and brain matter all landed on Zelda's face, while Hamilton himself didn't get a single drop on him.
The headless corpse was casually tossed aside, rolled a few times on the wasteland, and then fell completely still.
You have two minutes.
"Start the timer now."
