Arriving at this point, the Kingdom finally decided to send direct reinforcements from the capital.
The previous adventuring party was seen in high regard, the kingdom thus perceived the threat in higher regards, thereby deciding to send an elite knight handpicked from the squadron.
And, the knight who volunteered their name was……
「…… The third trap room has also been conquered. Master/my lord」
A gloomy light shines from the deepest part of the cave.
Using far sighted magic on her glasses, she was able to look into the battle field and observe, the female sorceress was wearing a robe, and she had hollow eyes and was reporting to me.
In layman terms, she had the look of a woman who was raped until she had lifeless eyes….. ooops, this is not the time to be thinking about these things.
Whilst I was sitting cross legged in my throne made out of simple stone, I asked her, who was my “magical bound slave” a question.
「the Magic missile and the paralysis gas trap were all broken through that easily? What do you think, is the intruder also like you an adventurer? 」
「no, it is most likely a knight sent from the Capital….. Furthermore, it seems this knight specialises in solo subjugation combat and labyrinth capture, an elite knight」
「heh, so there’s such a thing in this country. Well, since I have been way too flashy, there was bound to be a large uproar within the country」
The serial disappearances of the young maidens.
The culprit behind all this, is of course me the person whom reincarnated into this new world.
Building various traps inside this cave, I managed to enslave the adventurers that roamed inside for the purpose of completing the dungeon.
All of this was made possible, by the abilities I obtained from the class Slavemancer.
The intricate details , will be explained eventually…. right now I have to think of a way to deal with this rude intruder.
「At this rate, they will arrive here at any moment. What shall we do my lord, should we perform a counter attack? 」
「Will you be able to win? Supposing that this is an extremely elite knight」
「It will most likely be difficult. The enemy’s power, exceeds our individual strength. However, we can at least leave a wound on the enemy」
The strategy of sacrificing pieces for a future gain, should I do it or not? (This is referring to a popular game in Japan Shogi/chess where pieces are sacrificed in order to obtain an advantageous position etc.)
Naturally, if they were given the order, the magic bound slaves would happily throw away their lives for me.
I pondered a little while…. tilting my head to think.
「No, cease that thought. The enemy has already come this far, we will meet the enemy head on right here.」
Yes, the women all saluted whilst obediently acknowledging my orders, I immediately went to prepare for the enemy’s arrival.
Just around the time I finished preparing…. the gate to the room flung open.
「Your days of tyranny are over, you vile black magician! Obediently stop resisting and surrender, otherwise—–」
The one who appeared, was a woman knight who had a blue mantle, long black hair which fluttered, whilst wearing glittering armor and helmet.
The glittering broad sword she held was pointed directly at me.
「I Princess Knight Kirika pledge by my sword that you will perish——」(HimeKishi = Princess Knight)
……….huh?
That voice, that face and that name. (Illustration: Kirika First Meeting~)
It can’t be, I stood up instinctively.
At the same time, the other side also notices.
「Hi… Himeno….. san?」
「Odamori, Kun!?」
……..yeah.
This is me, Odamori Tooru, I am the Slavemancer Tooru.
And that is Himeno Kirika, who is now known as the Princess knight Kirika. ( Hime in Japanese means princess, Thus her name Himeno is used here as a pun for princess)
This was the first conversation we had in the new world.
