Invicinble Colorless Butler

The atmosphere turned quiet after Ziel said that and stood in front of Princess Cordelia. Kyouka and Megumi could only gulp and see what Ziel would do. After seeing Ziel's cold gaze directed at her, Princess Cordelia subconsciously stepped back. Princess Cordelia realized that what she said earlier was too much, and she shouldn't have said that to Ziel. Ziel can do anything to her when she's at her best, especially in her current state.

Even so, Princess Cordelia wouldn't go back on her words. She wants to provoke Ziel to help King Raghnall and the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom. But Princess Cordelia underestimated him too much. Ziel didn't act according to what she wanted.

"I want to ask you, Princess Cordelia. Why should I bother saving King Raghnall and the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom? Don't you know that it's very dangerous? Then you want me to sacrifice myself for you? is it based on a sense of humanity? Or is it because of the gift you promised? All you say has only one goal: to save your people, right? And you're saying I'm heartless for turning you down your request? Aren't your words a bit ridiculous?" Ziel showered Princess Cordelia with questions. This made Princess Cordelia silent for a long time before she finally answered.

"You're right. I'm ridiculous! I did it for the sake of the people of my kingdom! But you who have that much power sit around watching them die one after another, isn't that more ridiculous than me? You have such great power to help those around you! Don't you have a big responsibility to have that kind of power!?" Princess Cordelia keeps urging Ziel to help her save her father. She kept shouting at him without noticing the stares from Kalya and the other girls at her. She was only thinking of a way to save her father in her mind.

"You mean that by having great power, you also have a great responsibility. And that responsibility is to help the troubled people of this continent?" Ziel paused for a moment, and he saw the expression on Princess Cordelia's face. Then he continued his words without giving Princess Cordelia a chance to speak.

"I don't think it's a power but a curse. My power is mine, and I determine how and when I use it. I'm sorry, Princess Cordelia, but I'm not a savior. If you're looking for a savior, then you can talk to the two heroes next to you. I don't have enough strength to fight that guy after all." Ziel shrugged helplessly then looked at Megumi and Kyouka next to Princess Cordelia. Ziel's words made their faces tense up. Even if the four heroes attacked simultaneously, they still couldn't defeat Fornius.

"you! You can fight him! You have the power for it! Do you have no feelings!? Don't you feel anything when they die before your eyes? If that's the case, then why did you beat Leviathan back then!?" Princess Cordelia still insists on persuading Ziel to help her even though it's a bit pushy, but she doesn't care.

"What!?" Kyouka and Megumi were shocked after hearing Princess Cordelia's words. They had read about Leviathan in a book about magical beasts in the Kingdom of Rubelia, and they knew that Leviathan had power on par with a True God. So how can a human being beat so easily?

"Wait a minute! What are you talking about? What Leviathan? How could Ken have the power to defeat a creature like that!? Could you have mistaken Ziel for someone else, Princess Cordelia?" Clara suddenly got into their conversation. She had been silent for a while to digest what they were talking about from the start. But the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

"I saw it with my own two eyes, so how could I mistake someone else!? This fellow, your butler, has defeated Leviathan with ease! Miss Kalya was also there, and I'm sure she knows about this too! You can ask her about this!" Princess Cordelia threw the matter to Kalya. Princess Cordelia must convince Clara to help her persuade Ziel to fight Fornius and save her father. But her hope is betrayed by Kalya's answer.

"What are you saying, Princess Cordelia? I did see Leviathan being defeated, but I don't know who defeated it. Didn't we see it from a great distance then? So how can I find out who defeated the monster?" Kalya tilts her head and pretends not to know anything. Her answer made Princess Cordelia stupefied, then gritted her teeth furiously.

"You are lying! You must be working with him, right!? You already know about it, don't you!? About the power he has! About his identity! You should already know all that! But why won't you say it!? Aren't you also willing to help the people of the Cirlus Kingdom!? Is it because they're from the human race, and you don't want to help them!?" Princess Cordelia screams hysterically at Kalya while pointing at her face. She even deliberately brought up the matter of race to corner her and make Kalya willing to admit everything she had said before.

Kalya frowned upon hearing Princess Cordelia's words and clenched her fists to keep herself calm. Clara and the other girls were shocked. It was a sensitive matter, and Princess Cordelia shouldn't have said it.

"Don't you feel that you have gone too far, Princess Cordelia? Didn't Ken already refuse your request, and he said he couldn't fight that guy? Then why do you keep forcing it and even say things like that to miss Kalya!?" Princess Freya couldn't hold herself back any longer and poured her emotions to Princess Cordelia. She couldn't see people close to her being treated like that. She already considers Kalya like her own older sister.

"You can say that because you are not in my position! I don't have much time anymore! My father could be dead by now! What would you do if your father was currently in danger? What would you do if the soldiers of the Aurelia Kingdom were in danger of being annihilated!? Tell me, what are you going to do!?" Princess Cordelia takes her anger out on anyone who refutes her words. She no longer wants to listen to what other people have to say. The most important thing on her mind right now was to save her father and the soldiers of the Cirlus Kingdom. That's it and nothing else.

Clara, Kyouka, and Megumi were confused by their argument. They don't know who to trust. Princess Cordelia confidently says that Ziel has defeated Leviathan. In contrast, Kalya denied it with reasonable reasons.

"I will..." Princess Freya wanted to say something but the words caught in her throat. She couldn't answer Princess Cordelia's question with certainty. Ziel suddenly frowned as he sensed something.

"You can't answer that, can you? If you can't answer it, then don't get involved in this matter!" Princess Cordelia's words ended with a loud bang on the island.

Booooooooommmmmmmm!

Not long after, they felt an earthquake on the island followed by a large crack in the ground they were standing on.

Grgrgrgrgrgrgrgrgrgr!

"Uh! What exactly happened!?" Clara instinctively clung to Ziel in shock from the massive shaking on the island. Ziel stomped his foot on the ground below to stabilize his surroundings. Even though it had stopped shaking, the cracks in the ground were still getting bigger until the island finally split into several pieces.

"This is…" After seeing the absurd sight before her eyes, Princess Cordelia was at a loss for words. She didn't expect Fornius to destroy the island. The separate parts of the island slowly drifted away from each other.

Ziel and the others were separated from the rest of the academy people. Luckily, they were gathered in one place at a time. Otherwise, Ziel will have to look for them one by one.

"Is this the doing of that person!? How about this!? What should we do!? We're already separated from the rest of the academy people!?" Clara became panicked after seeing the island split into several pieces, and they started to move away from where the rest of the academy people were.

"First, you have to calm down, my lady. The situation will be even worse if you face it in a panic. We will find a way to regroup with the people from the academy. Aren't Princess Iris and the others in this place with you? So you don't have to worry about that for now." Ziel tries to calm Clara, who clings to him in panic. Princess Freya and Princess Aishia could only pout their lips seeing it. But they understood that Clara clung to Ziel like that because of the circumstances that forced her.

"Oh, yes. I forgot that all of you were here. I apologize for panicking earlier. So, what are we going to do now?" Clara smiled shyly because she had forgotten such an important thing. She already felt calmer after hearing Ziel's words. But whether she's aware of it or not, she's still clinging to Ziel right now.

"Clara, when you've calmed down, can you keep your distance from Ken first?" Princess Iris smiled bitterly, reminding Clara. She was the only one among the other girls who didn't hesitate to rebuke her. Finally, Clara realized that she was still hugging Ziel at this time.

"Hmm… I'm sorry! I'm just acting on my instincts!" Clara quickly kept her distance from Ziel. She hid behind Princess Freya and Princess Aishia out of shame. Princess Iris and the other girls couldn't help but smile wryly and shake their heads. Ziel intended to calm her down again but was interrupted by a noise behind him.

"Let me go! I want to go to help my father!" Princess Cordelia screamed while struggling with Megumi and Kyouka, holding her.

"Princess Cordelia, I understand how you feel. But didn't you see it? The rest of the island has drifted away, and we don't know which part of the island King Raghnall is on. You're still not fully healed, after all. You will only put yourself in danger if you go looking for your father without knowing where to go!" Kyouka tried to keep Princess Cordelia from slipping out of her grip.

Princess Cordelia just stood still, doing nothing since the island was divided into several parts. But a moment ago, she came back to her senses and tried to walk alone in search of her father. Luckily, Kyouka and Megumi saw her. They quickly caught Princess Cordelia, who wanted to leave in such a state.

"Let me go! You all don't understand! My father is in danger, and my sister's whereabouts are also unknown!? Why are you guys still in such a calm state!? Don't some of you also have brothers who also attend the academy!" Princess Cordelia kept trying to free herself from Kyouka's grip. But all her efforts were in vain. Her body was still weak due to her condition that still hadn't fully healed, and she still couldn't use her power.

Princess Freya and Princess Irene trembled when they heard Princess Cordelia's words. Princess Fritz and Prince Viron were with Merlick at the time. Even though they might be safe with Merlick and the other teachers, they still couldn't feel at ease. Right now, they were trying to appear calm on the outside to cover up their worries.

"You don't have to go look for your father because he will be brought to this place." Ziel suddenly said to Princess Cordelia.

"what are you saying…" Princess Cordelia wanted to be angry with Ziel, but she stopped her words when she saw something darted to where they were and hit the ground.

Boooooooooommmmmmmm!

After the smoke and dust from the impact disappeared, Princess Cordelia and the others could see the figures of King Raghnall, King Redis, and Queen Triana in a pathetic state.

"Father!!" Princess Cordelia quickly freed herself from the shocked Megumi and Kyouka then ran towards King Raghnall. Besides her, Princess Irene also ran to her parents while crying.

"Hahaha… I carelessly threw the bodies of those three after destroying this island. But didn't expect to find some rats inhabiting this place. In that case, I'll kill all of you here and hunt down the other rats. Die!" Fornius pointed his palm towards Ziel and the others.

[Divine Thunder Beam]

The golden laser beam shot towards Ziel and the others. When faced with such an attack, Kalya and the girls remained calm except for Clara, Princess Irene, and the two heroes who had a tense faces.

Boooooooooommmmmmmm!

There was a huge explosion in that place, but strangely there was no smoke and dust scattered about. Fornius frowned upon seeing that.

"Haa… why do you have to attack at a time like this? Even though I will look for you without you having to come to this place.." Ziel stood in front of the girls and resisted Fornius' attacks like it was nothing.
