My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains [part 2 ]

Chapter 153: Resolve

༺ Resolve ༻

The unprecedented incident where both the Chancellor and Lady Tristan fainted at the same time ended with surprisingly little repercussions, considering the severity of the case.

"Damn it, shit, FUCKKKKK-!"

"..."

Of course it was Atalante who dragged both of them to the infirmary, wearing an expression that was similar to that of an evil ghost, all while screaming inhuman-sounding screeches.

Please don't blame her for that though. Our Dear Headmistress was always the first one to get swept up whenever such an incident occurred, after all. Also, she always dealt with the aftermath personally.

Fortunately, thanks to Iliya's delicate touch, none of them showed any signs of external injuries. They were just unconscious for God knows why.

The fact that the victims themselves didn't know who to blame or what to blame for was a considerable stroke of luck.

Prior to this, Atalante, with a stiff expression, told me that the two of them didn't have any intention to directly clash with each other for now.

"The Petronus Household and the Tristan Duchy have never been on good terms, but they are aware that it won't be good for either of them if the conflict escalates even more than this."

Of course...

"But that's only because you aren't involved this time, Dowd. There's no guarantee that such conflicts won't happen in the future."

There was an obvious caveat like this.

I nodded at Atalante's words with a bitter smile.

"...I'll have to find a solution quickly."

I responded with a sigh.

Things wouldn't be limited to those two clashing against each other.

The conflicts between Devils would only intensify from now on. This was just the beginning.

It was especially the case if the number of Devils involved with me kept increasing; The likelihood of such incidents happening would increase exponentially.

Iliya might have acquired the ability to directly hit a Devil's Fragment, but I couldn't rely on it consistently.

Although the method might work 'before' a Devil went berserk, there were already some cases in the past that rendered it useless, like back when Eleanor actually unleashed her Authority.

"Do you have something in mind?"

"..."

Well, I do.

You see, it was inevitable that such incidents would occur. That was why the best course of action was to prepare the means to manage the aftermath.

And when it came to 'mediating' fights that were on the scale of Devils, there was only one being that was capable of doing so.

A Hero wielding the Holy Sword.

After growing to their fullest potential, they would be the strongest human in the world.

They were among the top two in combat power, towering above the rest, along with the Grey Devil.

"Judging from your expresion, it seems you are not too keen on that method, though."

She was right.

Because both the burden and the danger of the method was far too high.

Not for me, but for Iliya, who would get caught up in this event.
