Episode (3): The Valkyrie Arrives 

Sovereign of Death~(3)

'I messed up!'

Nagisa was panicked.

He thought that if he said he had a useless class then they would banish him and send him away with compensation or at the least let him stay for a year until he got used to things.

He never thought the king would be shameless enough to kill him as a result.

The guards walked towards him brandishing their spears and releasing killing intent.

[What do you mean by this goat beard?]

Anger was written on Nagisa's face.

It wouldn't take a genius to see these guys weren't joking and Nagisa was really enraged by this fact.

The king on the other side was stunned. He immediately stopped stroking his beard and almost choked on the words.

[G-G-Goat beard?! What Insolence! For a mere incompetent to disregard my royal self!]

A plebian dared to challenge his authority and call him such a name?

It didn't matter that Nagisa was a summoned hero at this point he just wanted to show him his place.

Nevertheless the guards kept pointing their weapons at him making Nagisa angrier the longer this went on.

Seeing the cold glint of steel reflected in his eyes felt like a provocation directed at himself as a warrior.

[WHY ARE YOUR MEN POINTING THEIR WEAPONS AT ME YOU F*CKING TURD!! ANSWER ME NOW OR I'LL KILL EVERYONE OF YOU F*CKERS!!]

It was by no means a prank.

The bloodlust told Nagisa that the very moment the order was given they would strike.

'In other words, these bastards really were trying to kill me'.

Eyes opened wide.

No one expected the sudden change in character from the quiet kid but Nagisa ignored those gazes and looked at the enemies surrounding him.

Maria who saw this scene wore a confused expression on her face as she looked at Nagisa and back to the king.

[F-Father what is this–]

As a princess she couldn't watch such an unfair persecution and execution without reason.

To her, it didn't really matter what class or how useless the class a hero had.

Mainly because they were still heroes that were summoned by the Gods, but also because they came from another world.

If they didn't have combat ability then they could help in some other form.

Fighters couldn't fight all day long and needed support so what was an army of heroes that had no one to support them?

Especially since he was a chef, he could be the one who makes food for the heroes and even help develop the culture of the kingdom with cuisine from another world.

Considering the benefits it may have to keep this person it simply astounded her that her father wanted to kill Nagisa.

The king frowned and waved his hand siliently.

[Guards take the princess out of the room for now. My little daughter, you need to understand how much trouble we'd be in if other kingdoms learnt we summoned trash after stealing their summoning circuits!]

[W-wait a minute....father!]

Her protest was ignored as the king had his decision set in stone.

The princess was involuntarily carried out of the room while scream and asking for a valid reason for this.

At this point Nagisa had already calmed down.

Hearing the words of the king his rage was quietly converted into a silent killing intent.

[That's your reason?]

Nagisa understood his decision was for the good of his nation.

In a way you could praise him for being a good king.

But, no matter how you saw it he was the cause of this situation in the first place.

[hah, you summoned me here, no....]

Nagisa shook his head.

He was basically on the verge of going crazy at how this king was so casual with his life.

[You kidnapped me from my world for some drawn out hero bullshit, then you tell me that I'm useless garbage throwing me away like I gave my right to live to you?...]

An insane laughter escaped his lips as he swung his head back.

With a killing glare directed at the king he shouted back in a loud tone.

[THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS SH*T YOU GOAT BEARDED BASTAAARD!!]

[HAHAH...]

The king slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair.

He laughed in return to Nagisa's words.

[who needs justification, I am the king! I am all the justification I need! I can do whatever I want! This is the power I have that you don't]

Right, he was the king.

He made the decisions and pulled the shots.

Who was this brat to preach to him? Nothing but a stupid kid.

The king pointed his finger with an excited tone as if he couldn't wait to see my head roll.

[Guards, kill that brat now!]

Swoosh*

The next moment, a spear brushed against his face leaving a line of blood.

Nagisa just barely manage to avoid the attack but he really didn't expect them to go for the kill.

'If I had been even a second later that would have been my head!!'

Nagisa gritted his teeth.

At the same time another spear was thrust towards his exposed back leaving him no time to think.

Crouching, Nagisa slipped by the attack and created distance in order to gain some space and think.

But he wasn't given such sweet time.

The spear blades chased him down wherever he went.

There were many guards in the castle to begin with and with them attacking he had no space to gain at all.

Although their relentless attacks were like amateurs in his eyes, no one ever said a thousand ants couldn't bite a tiger to death.

The spear stabbed targeting him at every directed but Nagisa easily dodged. He continued to avoid the attacks until a path opened and his struck. 

Under the helmet where there was a gap showing skin, Nagisa chopped with his hand.

The guard gasped for air helplessly while his spear fell to the ground.

Air seemed to be the only thing he desired at this moment as he grabbed his neck.

It was such a good chance.

Nagisa grabbed him and flung him to the ground.

That wasn't the end of it.

One after the other Nagisa subdued the knights. He thought that it'd be enough if he did this much.

He was mistaken.

The guards constantly got up after recovering and attacked again and again until Nagisa began to feel his stamina depleting rapidly.

At the same time two spears nicked Nagisa on both the left and right sides.

The knights grinned with satisfaction that they finally caught me and coordinated their attacks. It was smooth like flowing water.

As if it was a rehearsed recital they moved in tandem while swinging and thrusting their spears.

This left Nagisa with little space but to dodge and divert the attacks with fists and kicks simultaneously.

His stamina was being drained constantly at this point.

Nagisa sighed. 

It was a helpless sigh. Although he genuinely wanted to finish this without spilling blood, but now there was no other choice.

He'd be naïve if he just stayed on the defending side at this point. 

Driving the attack with all his confidence, the guard applied all his strength into the spear and swung.

Nagisa didn't dodge this time. Instead he moved slightly and grabbed the spear before tugging it towards him.

With just a bit of force, the guard came flying towards him.

'I'm gonna have you buzz off for a bit yeah'

The guard flew towards him forcefully and was met with a solid kick to his stomach sending him flying back.

As he was wearing armor a kick shouldn't have been enough to cause damage, but a huge dent formed in the armor and the man spat blood.

A kick from Nagisa wasn't the least bit a normal kick at all. It left the man partially dead.

Another knight rushed in and attacked at that moment from behind.

Stab*

Nagisa avoided the attack as soon as he realized the attack was coming.

Shifting to the side, he spun the spear in his hand and slammed the wooden shaft under the knight's chin.

The strength of the swing caused his body to lift slightly off the ground.

There was a pause midair and Nagisa spun the spear around in his hands before thrusting the wooden tip towards the chest armor.

The wooden tip slammed into the chest armor caving it in and flinging the man into the distance.

The spear broke displaying how much power Nagisa used in his attacks.

Nagisa threw the broken spear to the ground and looked at the knights in annoyance.

'This wont work'

Although he injured them they still got back up. It was as if they didn't care about pain at all.

He glanced at the king and recalling that this was a world with skills and magic he figured the king might have a skill to nullify their pain.

In that case, no matter how many times he knocked them down he wouldn't win by fighting this way.

He clenched his fist with a sigh and came to a decision.

'Want to see blood? Alright, lets spill some!'

No other choice but to kill.

[I'll show you how it's done]

Nagisa stepped forward towards the closest knight.

He was slightly shocked that Nagisa chose to close the range but then with a grin he started to attack.

Each swing was filled with the intent to kill, however no matter what Nagisa was able to nimbly avoid it or parry with his hands. The knight was shocked. 

When Nagisa had further closed the distance the shock in his mind increased and he tried to step back.

But he failed.

The moment he showed an opening Nagisa grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the path of his palm.

With a heavy slam, Nagisa's palm slammed the knight's chin up shaking his brain so much the world twisted in his views.

But Nagisa wasn't done.

After all, now that he'd decided not to pull his punches there was no way blood wouldn't be spilled.

And sure enough.

Nagisa felt an attack behind him and moved. But he didn't avoid the attack.

Instead he pushed the head of the wobbly guard into the path of his comrade's attack.

Squelch!*

The attack slipped through the gaps in the man's helmet and accurately poked through his head.

Blood spilled out from the helmet as his lifeforce bled away.

The knight who killed his comrade by mistake was too confused to even know what was happening and his death was followed by a scream.

~kyaa!!

[What? What in the...]

Nagisa didn't feel a thing when he saw the corpse of a man he'd just killed.

It was either him or the knight so what was there to feel sorry about?

What need was there for remorse towards a person that wanted to kill him?

Taking the spear of the dead soldier, I spun it to get a feel of the spear.

'Good, it fits right in my hand'.

The guards were stunned and didn't know what to do.

They didn't know whether or not their comrade's death was a fluke caused by his carelessness, or was this hero truly an expert.

They stood in a daze unable to come to a decision.

Nagisa smiled.

[Do you have time to day dream?]

Moving quickly he shortened the distanced between him and another guard and thrusted the spear.

The guard was still in a daze and was unable to dodge when the spear tore through his armor like paper and tore a large wound in his side.

Armor that should have been unable to be damaged normally was tore open this easily.

'Shallow, but...'

Nagisa corrected his stance and spun the spear before swing towards the man's neck.

The spear blade cut through the man's skin and his head was sent flying the next moment.

This time it was two guards.

They couldn't look down on Nagisa after seeing him kill two knights.

They attacked without reserve.

Against two of them I could only stay on the defensive so I decided to just attack one first then go after the other.

Coming to a decision Nagisa moved. 

Clang* 

Clang* Clang*

Clang* Clang* Clang* 

Back and forth, Nagisa in the middle traded blows against the two knights.

They fought with all their might not giving him an inch, but the very moment he saw an opening he landed a kick.

The knight was immediately sent flying away.

The remaining knight didn't relent either.

He moved the moment Nagisa's back faced him and thrust.

The spear tip stabbed through the air hitting nothing as Nagisa avoided the strike with a quick reaction.

Spinning the spear in his left hand, he swung it whacking the knight's head to the side with a heavy blow.

The knight shook his head and hurriedly attacked again but Nagisa moved behind him and stabbed the spear point through his knee pinning him to the ground.

The guard didn't even know what happened before Nagisa pulled out the spear and the next moment he saw the world spinning in his eyes.

He head was chopped off.

A fountain of blood erupted from the body that fell with a plop a second later.

Looking at the corpse with cold eyes, Nagisa only released an exhausted breath.

[Fuu...I'll end this now]

Carrying on this pointless struggle posed no benefits for anyone at all.

He wanted to finish this and get it all over with already.

[...]

The king was worried by this point.

At first as he saw skills of Nagisa, he naturally thought he had found a gem.

A rare one in a billion diamond that anyone would sing and dance a ritual to thank the heavens.

That was until he recalled how he had ordered his men to kill him.

His blood ran cold as he recalled his words and actions. If Nagisa actually won the fight then-

He didn't want to think about that outcome as he yelled vehemently.

[K-Kill him! Kill him now! What are you fools doing!?]

Yet no matter how hard he screamed, with every skillfully thrust and spin of the spear a life would vanish from this world.

'I'll run away after threatening the king'

Nagisa thought.

He had just killed the last knight and was about to confidently negotiate his escape, but then he swung the spear to the side.

*Clang*

Metallic sound echoed when an arrow hit of the edge of his spear.

[Oh? He reacted...how strange, wasn't he supposed to be a new hero without skills?]

A voice came from the shadows of the corner.

Having already felt the presence, Nagisa wasn't shocked. Merely annoyed.

'I thought I could leave them alone since I didn't feel killing intent'

Nagisa shook his head. Then with a serious expression he roared.

[Come out, I know your there]

In the next moment, a figure in a dark cloak revealed themselves.

The girl landed then slowly removed the cloak revealing a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She glanced at Nagisa with a bewitching smile but Nagisa wasn't fooled. He could feel the hostile aura emanating from her body.

[Fufu, to think I was noticed? Did you somehow see me on accident or did you know I was there from the start?]

[What do you think?]

Nagisa didn't want to entertain a useless conversation. What was important no was whether this person was friend or foe.

'If its the latter-'.

He gripped the spear ready to move at any moment.

[I think you're definitely not a chef class, that's for sure. It doesn't add up at all]

Nagisa shrugged, he was still on guard against her but he didn't deny her words.

It was impossible for others to know his real occupation unless he said it aloud.

'Well, that's pretty much obvious by now. Only a fool would at this point in time still hold the belief that I was a chef class. The question is, who the heck are you?'

Seeing his gaze, the girl understood his thoughts and smiled.

[Let me Introduce myself...my name is code 02. According to the decree of the round table, this country committed a sin...I was supposed to kill the thing called king–]

[Wh-What?! The round table is involved!?]

Nagisa's head tilted to the side at the mention of a round table.

Judging by his horrified expression and tone, it was likely a big shot organization.

'Shit'

Nagisa cursed his luck.

The very first day he was summoned he already entered the wanted list of some big shot company.

Other heroes travel the world and go on adventures when they are summoned to another world.

Yet here he was, blacklisted on the first day dammit!

[That's right, in other words you messed up big time your majesty. 

I was gonna kill you, I was supposed to, but this guy had a wa~ay too dangerous aura surrounding him I just really wanted to kill him before he grew any stronger.

Since my job was also to remove all variables-]

Closing one eye she imitated a camera with her fingers and said with a smile-

[I think your definitely gonna have to die, no hard feelings kay?]

'You too?' My inner voice exploded in rage.

'Why do people I don't even know want to kill me that much?! Just what sin did I commit!? Me being here is all thanks to the actions of that guy! So why the hell do I have to pay for it?!'

It was thanks to their inability that he ended up here so Nagisa couldn't accept these bastards gunning for his head.

'It's Bullshit!'

[K-Kanata!...how could you kill those people?!]

Renji, the 'hero' of the class suddenly spoke up.

'Shut your trap before I kill you too you damn attention seeker! I'm not in the mood for your bullshit so don't test me!'

Nagisa ignored him.

He could see that this guy just wanted a chance to play 'hero' and he didn't have the patience to play with this guy at all.

Instead he focused on the girl before him.

She was indeed a beauty.

But she was a beauty that wanted to take his life.

Nagisa's eyes went cold almost instantly.

'This thing, she has to die'.

No matter how much of a beauty they were, he'd slaughter any wench that wanted to kill him if it meant life or death.

Seeing that he was really shrugged off Renji was shocked and angry.

[Hey! Don't ignore me! You just killed people and you don't even have an ounce of remorse in you-you murderer! You should be ashamed of yourself as a fellow human being! As the hero I'll purge you myself!]

It was his first time seeing murder and on such a mass scale. Renji had even vomited a few times and now his face was completely pale.

But he was the hero so he had to play his part.

In his heart he could see the scene of Nagisa changing and him receiving the praises of everyone.

'I'm already going crazy because of the situation so why does this child feel the need to anger me more? Sigh, really though. Why do I have to deal with this bullshit? I never asked to be brought to a f*cking other world!!'

[Hey narcissist, go play hero somewhere else or I might actually turn you into a corpse]

Veins in his head were about to burst.

Nagisa was filled with annoyance and rage so it really didn't matter who it was right now.

Renji shivered after feeling the cold killing intent grip his neck and he faltered.

This caused the girls to glare unhappily at me but he didn't care.

Nagisa was literally about to get lynched but all these girls cared about was this guy.

It was disappointing as even his childhood friend Aoi was a part of this group.

[Hey....]

The assassin attacked meanwhile Nagisa's thoughts were elsewhere catching him off guard.

He managed to dodge the attack but his hand was still scratched by her dagger.

Blood dripped.

Nagisa looked at his hand emotionlessly then looked back at the girl with even colder eyes.

[It's really strange no matter how I look at it, you're more like a trained killer than a new summoned hero.... what ae you? An assassin sent to kill the heroes??? Its weird that you would also be on the summoning circle then.

Not gonna tell? That's fine too, not like it matters either way…...but no matter, you'll end up dying anyway]

Code 02 muttered to herself in her own world.

She really couldn't understand Nagisa's existence.

Nagisa wanted to curse her, but the next moment his body went stiff and he fell over without resistance.

!!!!!

He was stunned.

'What...happened?'

'Falling on my own? Of course I wouldn't do something so dumb on my own'

Suddenly, an obvious thought came to mind.

[The arrows.....had paralysis...]

[Bingo! But how did you know?]

She asked as if it was rocket science.

It was obvious but sarcastic remarks would only further his demise so he kept his lips sealed.

Escaping now was nothing but a dream. In this state he wondered if he could even roll over well.

'If that's the case, negotiation? But with what?'

[What are you going to do to me?]

This was the most important question. Nagisa who was now unable to move could do nothing but wait for a chance.

That chance would only come after he knew what this chick planned to do with him.

[Oh, I'm not going to do anything]

Code 02 shook her head.

[I would especially prefer to keep you around but I'm not the one who calls the shots. You'll be judged by the Valkyrie of the Goddess Stacia]

'I don't like where this is headed all of a sudden'

Nagisa never read a story where the main character got off scotch free after being caught by a big organization. He began to panic.

'No, she is the Valkyrie of a so called goddess so maybe she would be a bit understanding?'

Consoling himself was the most he could do. Hopefully as the servant of a god she would be a good person.

He wanted to ask more question but realized that his tongue had gone completely numb.

'Shit'

'Did the paralysis get to my mouth too? Just how strong is the Paralysis you used on me you b*tch! Forget that! If it's like this then I won't even be able to clarify my situation! Shit...just shit!'

He glared at the girl that kept smiling back at him.

[What a terrifying gaze, how scary–...well, don't hate me now, I'm just doing my job. It's not like I want to kill you-you know?]

'Even though you say that you're smiling an awful lot you piece of shet!'

Nagisa attempted to break free of the paralysis. No matter what, in his current situation he was at too much of a disadvantage.

But the poison was too strong. His resistance was utterly futile.

Nagisa had no choice but to stop. At this rate he would only be wasting energy. So now he could only wait, wait for a chance to break free.

In the silence, a burst of light appeared from the ceiling covering the entire throne room in its brilliance.

From the light, a soft and pleasant voice could be heard.

『I have come』

The Valkyrie had descended.
