Campione! - Volume 20 - Chapter 5.2

Part 2 

In the first place―― 

The barrier of mist spreading through Okutama Mountains was something that Alec created. 

Although Alec himself was temporarily retreating from the barrier due to the attack of the gigantic fierce guardian god and the dragon it received, he was hiding nearby even after that. 

He also wasn’t particularly surprised with John Pluto Smith’s reentrance. 

That was natural. Just like the hint he gave Kusanagi Godou, he had already finished making the assumption of that possibility from long time ago. 

Alec also witnessed the attack of Laksmana and the offense from the two kings of the senior group. 

However, when Smith took along Kusanagi Godou and his subordinate to transfer to Astral world――as expected he couldn’t follow! 

But, he knew their destination, so there were many methods to pursue.

「Rather than searching for the old people group from zero, I guess I should prioritize the side that I can pursue easier.」 

Alec immediately turned into lightning body and soared as thunder. 

His destination was an island of everlasting summer floating on Pacific Ocean, Bali. That land was also called as the land of gods, with a lot of sacred grounds that were related with the indigenous spirit and myth that propagated from Asia. One of those sacred grounds, 『Cave of Darkness Spirit』was connected with Astral World――!

「The rest is simple after coming to that point.」 

The conference place of the fairy kings and the retired gods. 

Alec was disclosing the secret of his trick to the two Campiones of Japan-America at the place that looked similar with 

Cornwall’s wasteland and megalith cluster!

「I had already investigated that the forest of Oberon is the headquarter of fairy king John Pluto Smith. I believed that if I observed the coming and going in that stratum, I should surely be able to obtain a clue――」

「So you laid in wait right outside the forest’s barrier!」

「Yes. And just as expected, you two came out from there.」

「I put my guard up of being followed but……I guess it pointless just saying that. It seem that Black Prince-dono has a special skill that not only erased your appearance but also your presence to roam the world like a shadow.」 

Smith shrugged his shoulders with a lot of exaggeration and dramatic movement. 

Normally when something was moving in godspeed, presence of something flying around with terrific momentum could be sensed randomly. However, if Alec sharpened his nerve to the maximum, it was also possible to travel along with complete silence. 

But, it was really doubtful whether this skill could be used to assassinate fellow Campione. 

Because if he emitted killing intent even for a little, sharply perceptive Campiones might immediately sniff the smell of danger like wild beast……!

「Hey Gascoigne」 

Kusanagi Godou addressed Alec.「You are really going to get on board with our plan too?」

「Hmph」 

It would be out of character for him to answer honestly, so Alec murmured haughtily.

「I also said it before but# I don’t care who will be the one to fight the『King of the End』! I’m fighting only to brush away the sparks of fire raining on me.」

「Despite that you were laying on traps really proactively though……」

「That was because if I didn’t do that# then I won’t be able to get out from a situation where I might be attacked by six Campiones one after another. But, if there is an option that is more attractive――then I won’t be reluctant to choose it!」 

Alec grinned impudently. 

He had made much mayhem in the world until now for the sake of his curiosity and spirit of inquiry that was excessively full of vim and vigor. And it was also the same with this.

「Time axis that piled up different history from the world we are living in. Parallel world. If there is such thing, then I wish to gaze at it with these eyes by any means.」 

Alexander Gascoigne was a godslayer warrior. 

But at the same time he was also an explorer and an adventurer. He spoke with that conceit in full force.

「It will be too slow to leave the scouting role to somebody else. It’s for the best for me to ride into the unknown world personally and ascertained by myself what kind of place is there by my own observation.」

「But, it will be undoubtedly dangerous you know?」

「What silly concern.」 

Kusanagi Godou was speaking in concern, so Alec made a derisive smile.

「Certainly I cannot even imagine just what kind of difficulty will be waiting there! But# it’s hard to believe that――it will be even more dangerous than fighting『King of the End』and that patron of his the . Also」 

Alec glanced at Athena and questioned.

「Is this parallel world, chocked full with gods that exceed『 King of the End』Ramachandra?」

「This is this nothing more than a spiritual instinct of mine as a goddess of wisdom, but」 

The authority that was equivalent with human shrine maiden’s spiritual sight. 

After saying that, the most intelligent in god world Athena spoke.

「I believeth that warrior rivaling King Rama……is mostly nonexistent whether in this world or outside world. On the contrary# world where not even one god exist――is not in little number at the outside.」

「That’s that! It’s decided already!」

Alec spoke decisively.

「The one who will face the greatest danger will likely be you, Kusanagi Godou.」

「There is also that way of thinking huh.」 

The youngest Japanese Campione let out a natural smile.

「Then without reservation I ask you to leave me behind here.」

「Yeah# I’ll do that! For me it’s real convenient that I can push the most troublesome matters to others. But, if the establishment of this secret agreement will depend on Madam Aisha, then it will be a bit distressful situation.」

「Did……something happen?」

「The sacred ground that she and Salvatore Doni escaped to――is being attacked by the marquis’s army! You two had anticipation about igniting fire on the madam’s latent power but, for now there is no sign that it will be like that. Perhaps this is the time for Madam Aisha to finally pay the price.」 

Alec reported so when Kusanagi Godou asked. 

Even while they were in this faraway place, Alec was able to grasp in detail the current situation of the madam due to a certain circumstance.
