Chapter 377: The Shield Of The Sanctuary!

"What are you talking about? Now that we know Roswaal has ulterior motives, why would we stick with him? That's just seeking death!"

Before Emilia could say anything, Natsuki Subaru had already interjected emotionally in response to Wood's suggestion.

Having dealt with the White Whale and the Archbishop of Sloth, Subaru now understood that the so-called "Witch Cult" were nothing but madmen—dangerous individuals. Since Roswaal dared to associate with such people, he was evidently...

Chapter 376: The True Mastermind

Ram suddenly froze, her actions ceasing as she stared at the Sin Archbishop of Greed in anger.

The reason was simple. As a member of the Oni clan, possessing an extraordinary sense of smell, she had just realized that the nauseating scent of the Witch had suddenly appeared on herself!

Ram now understood what that stench, which had been moving among the Witch Cultists, truly represented.

She could feel it—two hearts beating within her chest.

One heart was her own, whi...

Chapter 375: Instant Defeat of Gluttony, Ram Targeted

It was clear to everyone watching: with the Authority's weakness exposed, the Sin Archbishop of Greed's defeat was only a matter of time.

Once Ram had cleared out all the targets that Greed could use for his "Little King" ability, he would lose the power of "Time Stop." Against Wood and Ram, he wouldn't be able to last for long—even escape would be a distant hope.

No, even if he somehow managed to escape this time, his Authority would no longer be a secret, and the title of "the...

Chapter 374: The Weakness of the Authority Lies in the Heart!

In other words, the Authority of the Sin Archbishop of Greed, which he proclaimed as "invincible," must have some kind of limitation or cost to maintain.

The Sin Archbishop of Sloth had the Authority of the "Invisible Hands," and its power was tied to his arms. Then, considering the Sin Archbishop of Greed's Authority called "Lion's Heart," could it be related to the heart?

As Wood pondered over the nature of the Sin Archbishop of Greed's abilities, Ram suddenly spoke up beside hi...

Chapter 373: Wood: There Is No Such Thing as an Invincible Power!

The Sin Archbishop of Gluttony had the power of instantaneous movement. As soon as his figure disappeared, he reappeared in front of Wood in the blink of an eye.

Just like when he attacked Ram, the Gluttony Archbishop called out Wood's name as he launched his assault. He learned Wood's name after hearing Ram call it several times during the fight.

It wasn't just Wood's side that was gathering intelligence in the middle of combat; the Archbishops of Gluttony and Greed were doing th...

Chapter 372: The Invincible Archbishop of Greed?

Hearing Ram's serious tone, Wood's expression turned grim.

If even Ram had no information on the abilities of 'Gluttony' and 'Greed,' then it was up to him to find out. He could only hope that Subaru would last a bit longer, giving him the chance to gather more details about the two Archbishops.

Having fought 'Sloth' before, Wood knew that the Witch Cult's Sin Archbishops all possessed powers called "Authorities." These powers were not magic, nor were they attributed to any elemen...

Chapter 371: Sin Archbishops of "Gluttony" and "Greed"

On the vast, open plains, Natsuki Subaru lay on the ground, his body torn in half. His consciousness gradually blurred.

Just as Wood had anticipated, Subaru had indeed perished, and it was by the hands of the Sin Archbishop of Sloth.

Originally, the target of Sloth's "Invisible Hand" was not Subaru but rather Anastasia Hoshin. Subaru, however, threw himself in harm's way to shield Anastasia, ending up torn in two.

Truth be told, Subaru had no particular relationship with Ana...

Chapter 370: Solving the Problem by Getting Rid of Natsuki Subaru!

The information had come from Frederica, Roswaal’s head maid. She was a mature demi-human with golden hair.

Frederica had previously served as a maid at the Roswaal mansion. However, with both Ram and Rem heading to the royal capital during the royal selection, Frederica had returned to manage the household in their absence.

According to Frederica, the ones responsible for the attack on Arlam village were two other Sin Archbishops of the Witch Cult—Batenkaitos Ley, the Archbis...

Chapter 369: Wood, How Dare You Go Against Your Sister!

As the radiant golden light that enveloped the Sin Archbishop of Sloth faded away in Wood's grasp, everyone present was left in awe, unable to hide their disbelief.

The magic Wood had used was unlike anything they had ever seen before. Light and dark elemental spells were rare, and only a handful of individuals could even wield them. However, for someone to wield light magic at such an advanced level was beyond their comprehension.

The target had been none other than an Archbishop...

Chapter 368: The Sin Archbishop of Sloth Defeated by Purification Magic

"Hmm, there are actually three Mist Beasts? No, this one lacks the magical power of the one lying on the ground.

In other words, a mere imitation, and you still dare challenge me?"

Though the White Whale's clone didn't match the original in strength, its massive body, over fifty meters long, was undeniably real.

Regardless of its magical power or abilities, its sheer size alone, crashing down, could crush even the sturdiest beastman to a pulp in an instant.

"Hundred Gh...

Chapter 367: One Kick Obliterates the White Whale!

Walking on air—could humans really achieve something like that?

Even if such magic existed, Sloth was now fully aware that there wasn't any magical energy flowing through the air.

In other words, Wood managed this incredible feat purely through his physical abilities and skill!

"What… What are you?" Sloth shouted angrily, glaring at Wood, who was stepping on the air as if it were solid ground, moving swiftly. Even with his mental instability, Sloth couldn't help but be e...

Chapter 366: Arrogant Wood?

The violent wind blade attack swept out, dispersing the surrounding white mist and carving a hundred-meter-long trench in the ground.

Wood couldn't see if the so-called "Invisible Hands" were severed, but he could confirm that all airflow caused by the "Invisible Hands" had disappeared.

After fending off the attack in front of him with a single strike, Wood swiftly turned and slashed the ground beneath Julius and the others.

As a massive gash several meters deep appeared on ...

Chapter 365: The Timely Arrival of Wood!

The White Whale, although a magic beast, possessed considerable intelligence. After trapping everyone with its dense fog, instead of pursuing them further, it first chose to recover from its injuries.

While the group was entangled with Sloth, the White Whale, hidden within the fog, seized the opportunity and unleashed its ultimate attack, the "Vanishing Mist," trying to wipe out Julius and the others all at once.

The moment they heard the whale's cry, Julius and the others sensed ...

Chapter 364: Is She the Boss's Sister?

"Is this really the time for apologies? Instead of blaming each other, wouldn't it be better to think about how to escape this predicament?"

Crusch was quick to speak up, following closely behind. Compared to the more agile beastmen of Iron Fang on the grasslands, her knights had suffered greater losses.

Seeing Natsuki Subaru and the others pause for a moment, Crusch made it clear that this was not the time for infighting.

"Escape from this predicament? That's easy for you t...

Chapter 363: The Collateral Damage of the World's Child

“I'll keep two of them busy! You all take this opportunity to break its two pectoral fins!”

The White Whale was a magic beast resembling a whale, with its enormous fins serving as wings for flight.

Old gentleman Wilhelm was filled with rage at the sight of the White Whale. The beast had killed his wife, and the hatred of that act had stayed with him ever since. The "Sword Demon" had dreamt countless times of cutting down the White Whale to avenge his beloved.

However, gi...

Chapter 362: White Whale Subjugation Operation

"I really can't figure out what the boss is thinking. He's actually got us protecting this weakling and even expects us to take orders from him?"

After successfully negotiating the terms with Elsa, Subaru was eager to get started with the trade expedition. He wanted Elsa to assign the escort team as soon as possible.

But it wasn't long before Subaru realized that negotiating with Elsa was just one of many challenges he would face. The issues before him still gave him quite a heada...

Chapter 361: The Price of Generosity - Gut Removal?

"Under Ram's scolding, Wood's student count went from one to two. However, considering that Rem indeed didn't need additional combat lessons due to her formidable Oni clan combat skills and experience, Wood decided to teach her something different.

Aside from her expertise with the morning star weapon, Rem also had an affinity for water magic, which Roswaal once evaluated as being above average.

In this world, water magic seemed to be mostly useful for support and healing, which m...

Chapter 360: The Fog Witchbeast - The White Whale!

The so-called "White Whale" was no stranger to Anastasia and her team. In fact, this monstrous entity could be considered the lifelong enemy of many merchants.

The White Whale was one of the three Great Witchbeasts, created over 400 years ago by the Witch of Gluttony, who imagined "a large creature with a lot of meat that could feed many people." However, instead of becoming a blessing, the Whale was imbued with the essence of Gluttony, and for four centuries, it would sporadically appe...

Chapter 359: The Not-So-Simple Elder Sister

Subaru originally thought that after Wood pointed out the flaws in his battle strategy, he would mock him, thus undermining his credibility within the team.

However, much to his surprise, even though Wood had indeed highlighted the weaknesses in Subaru's plan, he did not take the opportunity to ridicule him. Instead, he supported Subaru's plan and even offered a solution to the problem he had mentioned.

"Given the current state of our faction, financial support is essential if we ...

Chapter 358: The Possibility of Transforming the Assassins' Guild

"Rem's relationship with Sir Wood seems to have gotten quite close..." Emilia said. Even someone as oblivious as Emilia could see that there was something off about Rem's actions, and so she spoke up.

"Rem told me last night that she wishes to leave Roswaal's mansion and become Sir Wood's personal maid."

"Since neither I nor Rem have a formal contract binding us, I can't stop her from leaving if she chooses to."

"Besides, Sir Wood is such an outstanding individual that I bel...

Chapter 357: Choosing the Selfless Maid

Rem didn't fully understand what "Emperor-level" or "Divine-level" meant, but she could understand the general idea behind Wood's words.

In other words, Wood hadn't yet exerted his full power, meaning that her sister Ram still had a chance of regaining her oni powers!

Among the magic that Wood had mastered, healing magic was one of the most advanced.

However, in the world of "Re Zero," healing magic was also the most difficult form of magic, as even Roswaal, who possessed an...

Chapter 356: A Midnight Visit from the Twin Sisters

"What's up with your sister? She's terrifying!" Natsuki Subaru still felt a lingering fear when recalling the challenge Anastasia had issued to Emilia's faction before departing.

Having a beautiful sister might be the envy of others, but with someone like Anastasia, her personality was anything but enviable.

Earlier, at the palace gates, when Anastasia had thrown down her gauntlet, the seemingly timid Emilia had surprised everyone by stepping forward herself.

With a d...
