"W-what are you planning to do!?"
"Nothing in particular."
"Eh?"
"I'm not doing anything special. I'm just using the teleportation network to return to the <Outlands>."
"What...!? There's no way an undead like you could open a teleportation gate! That is our sacred..."
"Are you still laboring under such a happy delusion? By next time, you should try paying a little more attention to the reality outside the kingdom."
"Next time!?"
"I will come again. Again and again, and again..."

A pale, ghastly light clouded his eyes with an unfathomable, ominous emotion.

"Wait! You... no, could you possibly be..."
"Shut up."

At Kerios's attempt to stop him, the |Wraith Lord| used teleportation. He closed the distance instantly and thrust his magic sword forward.
A metallic clang.
The blow was blocked by a slender curved blade thrust out from the side.

"My, my, attacking an injured person who cannot resist is a bit unimpressive, wouldn't you say, <Iron Mask>?"
"You...! You've already caught up!?"
"I am, if not quite as fast as you, very good at racing. I was delayed because Princess Shirley wouldn't stop crying, but now, shall we continue?"

It was a young human man, dressed in black formal wear, who was strikingly beautiful.

"I refuse. I have no time to waste on the likes of you. I am withdrawing from this place."

He was enveloped in pale phantom flames and vanished. It was a brilliant retreat.
The young man in black grabbed his sharp chin.

"Hmm, teleportation. It doesn't mesh well with martial arts, but it's still a troublesome ability. I couldn't stop his retreat. I must think of a countermeasure."

Shaifa watched his profile with a confused mind.

"W-who are you? Who are you?"

Then the young man turned toward her and showed her a soft, enveloping smile.

"Pleased to meet you. My name is Sojuro Nuebi, a humble student."

Her heart skipped a beat.

System Message: Some information about Voldagadda Vazdagames has been revealed.

◆Silver◆ Sub-Character Directory #3 [Voldagadda Vazdagames] ◆War◆
21 years old, no gender, combat ability rating: A-
The incarnation of slaughter. Prophet of the blood god Agos. A beast mourning in solitude on a mountain of corpses.
The strongest Orc. Orc society treats killing each other as a daily routine, and it is extremely rare for anyone to live past twenty. The first prophet to create a religion among Orcs. He is also the greatest genius in Orc history, realizing the importance of logistics and command structures. He successfully controls his own desires for destruction and slaughter, allowing him to make calm, calculated plans for the entire Orc race. Because he prioritizes the happiness of his people over his own greed, he was chosen by the divine artifact <|World Eater|>. On the other hand, he is bored with the fact that his subordinates are far weaker than him, and he strongly desires to fight to the death with unknown, powerful enemies. He does not fully trust <Iron Mask> or <The Jester>, and intends to kill them when the opportunity arises.
