Beyond The World Plan

Chapter 23 - Ch.23: The Rumor

Some bandits tremble in fear looking at our face. Some of them stand still without any trace of moving and there are some that raising their guard.

"What now? Didn't you said you want to teach us a lesson? Come on up, I am ready for it."

Their face turn pale. Even so like that, the leader keep his pride and courage his underlings.

"W-what are you guys afraid of. They are just a mere children. They are just acting tough. Let's make those children regret for what have they done to us." (Bandit Leader)

Good, that's what I mean. It is not fun if you guys surrender without do anything. The bandits start to move swinging their sword. I leap back and flip my dagger. Lily holds three swords at once with her katana. Vi already made a barrier, she casted her magic and five light bullets come toward the bandits.

I make a stance and dashing toward them. I pour my mana to my daggers and turn it into a pair of ice blades. Thanks to the slime core, I am not wasting too much of my mana to activate this. The efficiency for the core transform the mana is on the different league than the other cores. With my , I can freely changing the shape of my daggers with a little of 'imagination'.

One head thrown to the air then another one on the right following the first one. The very rear of them losing his head and one beside him was pierced right in his heart. No one can saw that because it is too quick to respond on it. A second later,t heir movement stopped looking at the fact that for of them has lost their lifes.

Lily shook off the bandits and swinging her sword in high speed. Bloods spilling through out the body of the bandits. They have their limbs cut off. They trembling in fear and tears fell off from their eyes. With one slash a wind blow off from her katana and make their body separated in two. She charge forward and swinging her sword again and again. All of the bandits in front of her sight dropped their bodies to the ground. She put back her katana back to it sheath.

The left of the bandits have their bodies shaken by fear. They didn't make a single move from where they stood.

"What's wrong? Where the lesson that you want to taught to us before? Are you really serious about it? I really waiting for it."

Through my word, their fear grow stronger. One of them finally realize what is happening.

"T-that's...impossible to...win. White hair and blue eyes...that's wolfkin...they are Lord of Hunt....AAAAgagh." (Bandit guy)

Right before he finishes his word, I sent his head flew up to the sky. Now I already back to my original position. Their eyes finally gone into the despair, even for the leader he already lost his spirits.

"Good thing, seems like you guys knew me well. But sorry, it's already too late. Game off."

They suddenly feel cold through their bodies. Their feets already frozen and can't move a bit from their place. Lily casted [Light Rain] to them that already surrendered their lifes. In the end, the road that we want to pass became full of corpse. This thing surely will become a trouble for the other so I decided to burnt them at once. Crap, I forgot to tested my new skill. Just forget it, it already happened. There will be another chance to try it out. Let's head back to carriage, thqt's what I thought.

"H-how it's going, captain?" (Knight)

The same knight ask me something that already obvious. But it doesn't matter, I will answer him.

"We manage to killed those bandits. No need to worry, just rest easy, okay. We will counting on you too in this trip. It's also apply for all knights here. We will be counting on you too for our safety. We'll be in your care."

They nod their heads and suddenly fired up. We finally get inside our carriage and the travel continues. There are no many things happened. Just some normal monster that came out from the forest and the knights can killed them easily.

Tomorrow, we will arrive at the capital. It's already night and I currently enjoying a snack because it's my turn to watch over the unit. They are all have fought with brave and I admit their effort and achievement. Even though we can took care that matter by ourselves but it's also important to let they experienced the battlefield. They really made a good job out there.

Right now, beside me there is Sylph. The queen of wind spirit that I and Lily made a contract three years ago. She sat beside me all along the night.

"It's rare for you to be with me."

She smile wryly to me. From her face I already knew that she was worried about something.

"Actually there is something that I want to talk about with you." (Sylph)

I closed my eyes and blew a breath before I look at her with calm.

"It's about the Hero, right?"

Seems like it's a bullseye. She shook her head up and down.

"Yeah, My people told me that the Hero have used [Charm] to get control over the women who influence the kingdom directly. You must raise your attention to Princess Violet." (Sylph)

I laugh a little and then commenting her words.

"Really? I never thought that spirits can spread a rumor too."

Her face shows a serious expression at my little joke.

"I am being serious here!" (Sylph)

"Me too."

I instantly respond her statement. Well, you can say this is my bad habit.

"Sorry. Leave that aside, so basically you are worry if Vi got charmed and the Hero will use her, right?"

She nodded her head.

"But I will not worry as much as you do. In fact, I am not worrying about it at all."

Her faces full of surprise when I said that. But not long after that,s he regain her composure.

"Can I ask you why?" (Sylph)

"Pretty simple, she still too young to pick an interest on controlling a kingdom. I am pretty sure that he just want to enjoy the women who have been charmed. But you got a point too. Maybe, after Vi is charmed by him then he will make a move to take the control. Thanks for told this matter to me early, it will be a big problem if you say it later."

She smile to me, satisfied that I can understood what she said with just one word. But still, I can sense an uneasy feeling from her.

"It's good you understand it but, is it okay to be relax at the time you know it?" (Sylph)

I grin to her gentle, it is not having any bad intention on it.

"About that, I already solved it since a long time ago. Not just Vi, but Lily too."

She is dumbfounded with my statement. It feels like I could see the future and I already prevent the bad end for them.

"Really? But, how can you know that?" (Sylph)

I let out my breath and take a glace to where both of them sleeping.

"Well, it's not I already knew it but you can say it is a coincidence."

"What do you mean?" (Sylph)

"Iwant to made them stronger, not only in physical or magic build but also strengthen their mental. You know what the [Charm] do to the target?"

I ask her lightly and want to know how far a spirit know the work of the magic but she shakes her head. That a surprise for me, even though they have lived more longer than any creatures in this world but they still do not know how the magic works.

"Then I will tell you, basically [Charm] put the target into suggestible state. The user makes them can't recognize whether it's wrong or right since the command put in their subsconscious. Do you know what is it?"

Once again she shakes her head. Her face is puzzled because there are a word that still she never heard before. That is what I can interpret from her expressions.

"In a simple way, subsconcious is where the common sense written. If you can put the target into those state then it means you can overwrite their common sense and make a wrong statement is right for them. More stronger the [Charm] is, more deeper the suggestion placed in the suvsconscious and more harder to set it off. I am sure that the Hero has the strongest [Charm] in the world."

Those kind of explanation is what I can found in my 'Past Knowledge' in my brain since seems like this world doesn't have that concept. What I mean by that concept is Hypnotism. I am sure that the magic uses this concept as the base and with some mana it could work faster and forced the target to trapped in it. It's like hypnosis but the different is the hypnotism can't force the target and must make them relax so it will takes time even if you are a master.

Sylph is more or less got the point of what I said and she has a despair in her face.

"So basically we can't do anything, huh? So that's why no one can oppose [Charm] easily." (Sylph)

I put my hand on her shoulder and give her a smile to make her relax. Looking at my face, the despair she has before like vanishes from her. Just by looking at my face make her thinks that I have do something to counter it and it's true. No matter how stronger it is, there will be a way to oppose it.

"You do not suit to have that face before. So don't you ever make those face again. Trust me, both of them will never fall to his [Charm] and I can guarantee it because I trust them too. Since hey are my precious person to me so I can't lose them."

With that, we both fell in silent and wasting our time looking at the star. I will not make my girl fell to you, Hero because both of them are mine!

The trip continues and we almost arrive at Sorst, the Capital city of Terrascape. Since this morning, I can say they are acting strange. No one word came out from their mouth even though I ask them and they both just looking down and hiding their face.

"If you not gonna say it then I will be the one who say it. Both of you are eavesdropping my conversation with Sylph, right?"

With that, their bodies shocked and their face turn red.

"I wonder why you two doing this even though you both can't hear what Sylph said."

"I-it's not like that, we are...uhmm...just passing by after we are...take a p..." (Lily)

"Stop right there, I don't wanna hear that part. It's all right, it's not like I am scheming something bad after all. So what part do you hear?"

I tease them more since I already knew when they start eavesdropping with my . I just want to hear it from them directly.

"W-we are not going to say that." (Violet)

So, they won't talk, huh? Well, it's not like I am forcing them to confess but it for satisfy my d.e.s.i.r.e to look at their cute reaction. I pat their head gently and they are liking it. After that, they are back to their normal state.

We arrive at Sorst when the sun set. We head to the castle immediately after passing the gate. This town is surely big but I can feel it full of trashes. I won't tell it since there is Vi with us. I do not want to make her sad.

We arrive at the castle when night. The king already waiting us with the Hero beside him. How can I know this? It's because of my
