Volume 14 Chapter 29 Operation Commences
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
*Delprius’s Perspective
To protect our Black Dragon Clan comrades from the silver jellyfish’s magical bullets, I took the brunt of the attack on myself. Thanks to the power of Bendavar I’d absorbed, my scales had thickened, allowing me to mitigate the impact of the bullets more than the other Black Dragon Clan members.
”Father, Motherrrrr!!!”
The two who charged into the herd of silver jellyfish to protect our allies managed to slice through several, but soon targeted the one highest in the sky, cutting it cleanly in 2. Then, as if their strength gave out, they plummeted down with the remnants of the silver jellyfish, disappearing into a dazzling flash and explosion.
”…How foolish… I told them not to die… Father and Mother are such idiotttt!!”
”Lady Delprius! Now is not the time to be swayed by emotions!! Sir Clayd, to honor the sacrifice of Lady Fabulanova and Sir Kent, it is our duty to secure the path for the ground forces’ advance. We can grieve after we’ve survived this battle.”
Rosvita, standing beside me, conveyed in her cold voice that I must continue with the operation.
…Even if I’ve lost my parents, I have no time to mourn… But Rosvita is right. If I dawdle here and miss the opportunity, I won’t know what they would say to me in the afterlife. As the daughter of the strongest couple on the Demon Continent, I will fight a battle that will be remembered in history.
I immediately start issuing instructions to launch a full-force attack on the remaining silver jellyfish amidst the aftermath of the explosion.
”Heroes of the Black Dragon Clan! Following in the footsteps of Clayd and Fabulanova who led the charge, let us leave our valor etched in history!! All troops, charge!!”
””””OOOHHH!!!””””
The Black Dragon Clan, protected by the concubine, launched a furious attack on the dying silver jellyfish, rushing to avenge their fallen comrades, cutting them apart and vaporizing them in no time.
Meanwhile, Ugno, who had been attacking from the ground, arrived and learned that his sister Fabulanova was dead.
”I see… Your sister went with Clayd… She must be happy to have died with her beloved husband. We’ll leave the upbringing of Lady Delariona to Lady Delprius. Luckily, Ludmila and Lady Rosvita are here. The nursery is safe.”
”I feel guilty for the sister. But I will create a world where she can smile, in place of our parents. And Ugno, I’ll need you to work a little more for that.”
”Understood.”
After returning once to the launch base, Ugno and the others refilled the bomb and quickly headed back. They ruthlessly dropped magic bombs on the remaining enemy groups on the attack path, turning the enemies to ash. The air squadron led by me completed the ‘Felward Air Operation’ objectives, repelling the silver jellyfish and conducting 2 ground assaults, signaling the completion of the operation toward Felward Fortress.

*Kent Perspective
The light from the newly developed magic bombs we created with Aida swallowed the ‘another world monsters’ that approached, erasing them from existence.
”…The power is greater than I expected… And that mana density, this place might be off-limits for a while, but that’s unavoidable.”
”Yes. As Kent and Aida feared, it’s incredible power. If something like that is used in a human war, the country could be destroyed…”
”Exactly. That’s why we gave Aida a shadow guard and burned all the data without leaving a trace. We plan to use up that magic bomb in this battle.”
While checking the power of the magic bombs dropped from the fortress watchtower with Milly, an anxious officer hurriedly climbed up to the lookouts.
”Your Excellency Kent!! This is urgent! The Eastern Garuda Principality army has returned to Felward Fortress.”
”What? Nokin’s forces? They were supposed to hold the defensive line at the Feyn River… Why are they returning now?”
The officer who ran up to report was questioned with concern.
”The operation was a success, but the Feyn River defense line was breached by a new ‘another world monster’ that can pass through the rugged valley thought to be impassable. Lord Nokin and Lady Alonsa died fighting. Now, Lord Repulus is leading the remaining troops, but more than half have fallen back.”
”Nokin and Alonsa are dead… No way… Nokin, the strongest warrior, gone in battle…”
Hearing that Nokin, known for his top-tier strength, had fallen, I froze in shock. It was unthinkable that Nokin, the embodiment of fearlessness, could die easily. The enemy who broke through the Feyn River must be exceptionally strong.
Suddenly, another officer rushed up the lookout tower, panting heavily. He added shocking news.
”Lady Delprius reports that Sir Clayd and Lady Fabulanova were also killed. Despite losing many allies, the mission was successful!! They continue aerial bombardments to wipe out the enemy forces and are waiting to activate the next phase.”
”What… what did you say? Clayd is dead… and Fabulanova too…”
Overwhelmed by the massive losses and sensing faint dizziness, I clenched my teeth and endured. Falling now would just cause unnecessary worry among everyone.
”…After Nokin and Lady Alonsa, now Clayd… and even Lady Fabulanova… But, Kent, we can’t turn back now. This is a fight for survival──either we live or the ‘another world monster’ does.”
Lila, who was with Milly on the lookout, also looked sad, but she clenched her fists to endure her grief.
