Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

Chapter 427 139 - Just a little showcase (part 4)

*GHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

The particles of mana itself got torn apart, causig an ungodly scream that could only be compared to the choir of tormented souls – and the abomination of a spell that was brought into existence shot through the air, swallowing and literaly erasing a chunk of land that could fit the entire royal capital and then some.

"..."

"..."

No one dared to speak a word, no one even dared to let out a pip.

There was no shockwave, no earthquake, no air quake.

Just...

At one moment the audience could enjoy the view extending from the back of the Academy building, the empty fields, and meadows, purposefully kept empty by their owner – Aspakeony – and the next moment they found themselves seated close to the edge of the seemingly bottomless chasm...

"(Master, we didn't harm anyone~!)"

"(And we kept strictly to the borders of the Academy grounds! See? All the buildings on the sides are untouched too!)"

Completely oblivious to what they have done, the two sentinels floated over to the boy's head and nuzzled against him affectionately, all while boasting, clearly filled to the brim with pride over a job well done.

"..."

Zoemi gulped down his saliva and took a single step forward, getting right to the edge of the created chasm...

"...!"

And immediately stumbled back as his vision started spinning while his brain tried to comprehend the depth of the newly created pit.

|What did you do?!|

The black-haired boy thought, clenching his fist on the crystal cane he was supporting himself on.

"(Eh...?)"

"(We did a cool spell without overdoing anything~!)"

Once again, the first sentinel sensed that something wasn't right with their master's reaction even though it couldn't quite understand what was wrong, while the second one was blissfully ignorant of everything.

|WHERE IS THE GROUND?! YOU EVAPORATED A WHOLE TERRITORY?! IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT NOT OVERDOING THINGS?! HOW DEEP DOEAS IT GO?!|

To Zoemi's favor, even though he was losing it and shouting – he was doing so only in his head while on the outside he looked as if he was admiring the view he has created.

"(But we kept it to the borders and make sure that nothing else was touched, I swear...!)"

The first sentinel realized that Zoemi was upset, but it really couldn't grasp the core of the problem – so it thought that their master was angry because he thought that their spell has done damage to the property outside of that owned by the Academy.

|WHAT DID...! Haa... fucking hell... what did you do with all that land? Did you just... teleported it...?|

Zoemi was about to lose his mind, but he managed to hold himself back, took a few deep breaths that barely help, cursed, and then asked in a calmer tone.

"(No...? We erased it. We buried the mana, just like in the name we came up with!)"

"(Yeah, yeah! And we killed any hope anyone could have for standing against you, master!)"

|I... need to talk with someone about this... What are they even saying...?|

Zoemi decided it was worth a bit of pain and used his own mana to cut off the connection with the two sentinels just to have a moment alone in his own head.

The scene was... ridiculous.

Simply ridiculous.

The worst part about it wasn't even the sheer size of the chasm that was created – it was the precision with which it was created with, not a single rock outside of the space that was attacked got even grazed.

Zoemi's sentinels had very clearly had far more power to spare.

|Fill it out.|

"(Eh...?)"

Zoemi reconnected with both sentinels and demanded, making one of them gasp in surprise.

"(Master, you wanted to send a message – it would be better to leave this as a reminder of...)"

|Little one. This isn't up for discussion. Fill it out before I will actually get angry. Please.|

"(!!!)"

The first sentinel tried to reason with the black-haired boy, which was quite ironic with its lack of common sense – but Zoemi responded by granting it insight into his mana reservoir – and all the mana he was moving around despite not being supposed to.

Zoemi's body felt as if it would get torn into pieces but the message he sent was abundantly clear even for the child-like sentinels.

"(...I'm sorry master... please don't be angry, you are going to hurt yourself...)"

"(We will fix it all right away, master! Sorry, we should have made sure that this spell was allowed...)"

"...haaa..."

Both sentinels apologized sounding as if they were tearing up, causing Zoemi to breathe out in relief as he was actually prepared to face them if it turned out that the outrageous spell was them starting a mutiny.

*RUMBLE*

With the two sentinels back inside the boy's shadow, it was proven once again that the names of the spells weren't incantations of any sort as they made a humongous amount of earth appear out of thin air and cascade down the chasm with enough force to cause an earthquake.

"(Master, this will take a bit – creating earth out of mana is hard...)"

"(...if we knew we had to recreate everything then we would have just teleport it away... no... wait... that would take too much mana...)"

The resident sentinels were sounding guilty, although not exactly for the right reason.

Still, it was enough for the black-haired boy.

|It's okay, little ones... can... you get me an ice pack, please?|

Zoemi breathed out as the scene of the chasm getting filled up made him actually calm down – although now he was bothered by the pain caused by the movement of mana that he had caused to himself.

"Whew... Ahahaha~! Wasn't that something?"

Zoemi turned around and laughed awkwardly, leaning against his crystal cane while holding a block of ice to his stomach while tens of thousands of pounds of the earth were cascading down behind his back like some ceaseless nightmarish waterfall.

---------

"...my prince... is big brother an actual bad guy now...?"

"..."

The best summary of the reaction of everybody watching the special magic examination of Zoemi Benevi Banemor was that even Patishi was absolutely terrified of him, to the point of clinging to the Horeo's side and whispering in a tearful voice, while the first prince himself couldn't even properly answer her.

"Pissy prince, don't be a wuss. Your Wrath of Light is more destructive. All Zoemi did was shovel some ground away."

Still – it wasn't actually everyone who was scared – the dark-haired girl at the first prince's other side elbowed him in the ribs and snickered unbothered.

"True – but there is a reason why spells like that should not be shown in public and Zoemi is going to learn that first hand and not through word of mouth like I did."

Horeo breathed out and scoffed while furrowing his brows in concern as he reassuringly tousled Patishi's hair.

"Of course, he isn't. It's just that..."

The gold-haired boy smiled at the younger girl before furrowing his brows trying to find the right words to answer her earlier question.

"It's just that he and I will have to have a talk... He just became strong which doesn't usually happen so he isn't aware of some of the nuances of being in the position of power."

He finally explained, not quite satisfied with his own words but it had to do for the time being.

"Is... is big brother Zoemi in trouble then...?"

Patishi flinched and gulped down her saliva while staring at Horeo as she trembled.

"...let's just say that if he wanted to be left alone and live peacefully, then he messed up completely..."

"!!!!"

The first prince's expression became bitter and he shrugged his shoulders, making the younger girl gasp.
