・─ Ithia's POV
We arrived in the morning prior to their arrival, and we witnessed the Akrasia Organization in the sky from our vantage point on the ground, observing their actions which were truly horrifying and have filled me with anger.
"Let's separate and eliminate any subordinate members of the organization that we come across! Let's ensure the safety of others, prioritize them first and protect them!"
I directed my companions to different locations, the continental of the giant race is one of the largest continent in the world.
Certain people from various races were unable to escape the capital due to their moderate mana levels, so our main focus was on rescuing and safeguarding them.
These people were physically injured and had skin abrasions, prompting me to order my representatives to provide them with healing assistance.
In the meantime, I created an earthhouse to offer shelter from the raining fire.
Shortly thereafter, someone informed them to proceed towards Arcadia Land where the random races reside.
In the aftermath, some of my representatives, accompanied by their underlings, traveled towards Ueno castle utilizing levitation while the heavy smoke engulfed the surroundings.
Finally, we have located the current holder, who was discovered lying down on the ruined castle surrounded by the organization.
I am relieved to see that he is alive, as the world greatly benefits from his presence.
Upon our observation, we noticed a woman emitting fire in front of him.
"In front of him, the woman's body is emitting fire... I-I-Is that their f-founder?"
I felt embarrassed by my lack of knowledge regarding the Akrasia Organization's origins.
"Y-Yes master," she said, and chuckled.
As we prepared to engage in combat, the woman's waist was struck by a holy sword from the side.
Someone teleported in front of her, only to be blocked by another individual.
The holy knight confronted both the Akrasia's founder and her subordinates, while the current holder knelt on the scorched ground before the broken castle, visibly anxious as he observed the holy knight.
Holy Knight:「Fist of Apollo!」
/Boom!
The impact sent the bodies of their opponents flying as a brilliant glow emanated from the holy knight's fists.
It's the God Apollo's fist?! I never saw that! It's so powerful!
The force of the attack was astonishing, as it was the first time I had witnessed such a display of powerful attack.
....Is it the reason why the central continent was inaccessible and caused fear among everyone?
"...Let's attack them now and leave the founder to me."
・─ Fort's POV
"Son, there you are I am overjoyed to see that you are safe!" He said, and embrace me. His gigantic body is already concealed.
"I am equally pleased to see that are well, Father, and there is someone I wish to marry and she is our enemy."
I like Amerya, will my father accept her? I'm afraid, and I am concerned that he may not approve, what about my own feelings? Should I leave my family behind to be with her?
"Son, are you apprehensive that I won't accept her?"
"...Yeah."
After embracing me tightly, he peered at me with an expressionless face while resting his hands on my shoulders.
"I'll grant my approval because you have your own life, just as I have mine, right? And everyone has their own path, and I understand that the attack happened for a reason. Introduce her to me, my son."
"Yeah, I will."
I feel an immense happiness.
Knight Commander: "Your majesty, the King! Let's go to Arcadia land, It's dangerous here―"
""Father!""
On the spur of the moment, my siblings exclaimed all of a sudden, appearing just a short distance behind him and running towards him.
"Istera! Asen!"
Father joyfully greeted them, embracing them tightly.
"I am unharmed, don't worry. They protected me and welcome back, where is your mother and youngest sister?"
Asen: "Dad, we teleported back to Arcadia land and many people were injured and they informed us about what happened. I am relieved to see that you are safe."
Istera: "Yes, and mother is currently engaged in a confrontation with someone from the organization. As for, Rin is accompanying her partner, providing them with healing. By the way, Asen, our sister gave you a crystal stone, yes? Please send a telepathic message to her, using her mana, to let her know that our father is unharmed."
"I see. Rin has come up with something new. I'll talk to her, my daughter. Please give it to me."
After exchanging embraces, they turned their attention towards me, as my father continued the telepathic conversation with my sister beside me. Both of them had standard faces.
Asen: "Brother since when have you come here?"
They forgot me?!!
D-Does my presence was weak?
In the middle of thinking, they suddenly hugged me and I was surprised to feel their tight hugs.
"Don't worry too much! Rest assured, I'm strong! It bring back memories of when we were small."
I chuckled and reciprocate the embrace, after hugging, we watch them clashing in the crimson sky.
'...Amerya, I hope you're okay.'
Suddenly, a person appeared in front of us, dressed in a velvet waistcoat with tails, black gloves and punk lacing faux leather like the others.
"We are the Enigma Association of Justice, and we are not enemies. We are here to save the random races and the current holder under the will of our founder," she introduced herself, in a cold manner.
Istera: "I'm glad to know and thank you for saving everyone, can we talk to your founder?"
"You can, but she is currently fighting the founder of akrasia," she said, and disappeared instantly.
・─ Leticia's POV
I was enraged upon discovering their remarks regarding the ambush attack, and I promptly informed them that I would physically confront a member of their organization. In reality, I intend to personally eliminate all of them.
I didn't go to see my husband right away because I trusted that he would not leave me, and I had confidence in his survival.
My spouse possesses considerable strength, although he conceals it, and his vulnerability lies in witnessing others get harmed.
Each member of the NUA Association is formidable, and so the current holder.
I arrived at the secondary capital, only to be confronted by a scene of destruction, with stone chambers, dwellings, and lodgings all in ruins.
The air is dense with smoke, and the roads are riddled with substantial potholes, engulfed in flames.
Their objective is the complete annihilation of everything. As the Queen of the Great Ueno Empire, I won't forgive them.
Fortunately, no one was present in this area.
"NGGH!"
I swiftly move, only to be intercepted by an individual clad in a dark green hooded wool cape cloak, who delivers a forceful sidekick, causing my body to arch backwards.
/Krraasshh
I felt a sharp sensation beneath my feet as they scraped against the ground.
I react swiftly, I firmly grasped the individual's legs and forcefully brought them down to the ground.
/Crash!
"Argn!"
An abrupt sound of impact followed, causing a pang of pain.
What? A familiar voice echoed in the air.
"Who are you?"
I said, while still maintaining my grip on one of her legs and attempting to rise to my feet. Unfortunately, she remained unresponsive.
I release her legs, I positioned myself beside her, knelt down, and carefully removed the cloth obscuring her face.
To my astonishment, it was none other than my daughter's first friend!
"Oh m-my, s-she has lost consciousness. What should I do?"
"Good thing, she was still breathing."
I was overwhelmed with concern, and I muttered to myself.
As I surveyed the surroundings, I noticed that the smoke had become dense.
"Could she have mistaken me for someone else?"
"I'll call my daughter," realizing that immediate action was necessary, I resolved to contact my older daughter.
As I only possessed Istera's crystal stone with her mana reserved, I opted to communicate with her telepathically.
