Chapter 509: A Man’s Purpose / ???

The first man was in a large, dimly lit room. He was seated in a large chair like a king would sit in, listening to a young man who looked to be about twenty years old.

“So how are things going in the kingdom of Lacia, is Ruriko Minami doing well?”

“Yes, they seem to be doing quite well in the war. The Elysian Empire will not be able to break through the Kingdom of Lacia.”

“Hmm, is it the strength of that woman’s heart, or is it the effect of the new burst nitro technology, or is it that she is as talented as the others, but she fights well against the Elysian Ten Gods?”

“I guess she wants to get the reward you offered her so badly but was it really a good idea for you to promise her that you can send her back to Earth when you can’t do that?”

“The side effects of the burst nitro will keep her sane for two years at the most. By the time she achieves her goal, her ego will have collapsed.”

“You’re a bad man.”

“I am not interested in right and wrong. All that matters to me is that the pieces on the board do what I want them to do.”

“So far, nothing unexpected?”

“No. Unfortunately, I am not all-powerful and Astaroth’s resurrection was faster than expected. I did not expect Lucifer to play his trump card so quickly.”

“Can’t Ruriko Minami defeat Astaroth after all?”

“That’s out of the question. Even with more heinous modifications her chances of winning are not even 0.1%.”

“In that case, we’ll have to rely on our trump card.”

“And what is the growth rate of this trump card?”

“According to Fistina’s report, it’s still at about 20%.”

“The reason for this is that the number of people who have been using the product for a long time is still very small. Even if it is class 2, that level of skill is no match for Astaroth, who has already broken through the limits.”

“After all, we need to revive those two heroes of the old civilization, don’t we?”

“But it could be a double-edged sword, not only for Lucifer, but for Feri and Metis as well. The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your business is to be a good businessman. Tell the Abbot of Alice Abbey to ensure that all information regarding the Iron Knights throughout the continent is blocked.”

“Yes, Master Rafishal.”

“Hey, I always told you not to use that name, it belongs to Métis now.”

“For me, you’re the only Rafishal now and forever.”

“Forget about the name I’ve given up.”

“I understand. I will forget the name you have given up.”

The young man nodded and left the dimly lit room.

The man called Raddle Vega watched the young man leave and looked up at the ceiling. Then he murmured in a small voice to whomever he was addressing.

“Progress is only made in strife…….Metis, Feri, Lucifer…….If you cannot reach the next height, then I will have to climb it.”

The lonely-sounding words echoed in the dimly lit room as if he had made up his mind to do something.

Raddle Vega nodded his head and pressed a button on his desk, and after a while, the young man who had just left the room returned.

“I’ve changed my mind. Tell all the members of the association that we are moving into a new era. Destroy everything in the old world.”

The young man was not surprised, but simply nodded.
