There are no Bad Transcendents in the World

“Lady of Baron Holt. I’ll leave it to you to sort it out.”

 

“Yes. Please leave this to me to finish the calculation of the formula.”

 

The team members gathered in my office were in perfect harmony.

 

Everyone was a little more scruffy than usual, but the efficiency of the work was amazing as they gave up a little dignity.

 

‘The calculations of the wizards and the information processing speed of Wiz and Lina are faster than expected.’

 

At this rate, meeting the deadline didn’t seem to be a problem.

 

“Everybody have dinner, and take a break for a while.”

 

When I said that, the tension that had been pulling on my people eased a little.

 

“Then I will go.”

 

“I can’t wait to see what the chef prepared today.”

 

I stretched out and watched them leave the office, then moved my gaze toward the window.

 

Groaar!

 

Just in time, the sky cried out with a terrifying sound like a roaring beast.

 

I approached the window and carefully examined the flow of clouds.

 

‘Originally around this time of year, the capital often has a cloudless sky.’

 

Outside the window where the beautiful sunset should have been visible, there were only black dark clouds.

 

Looking closely, it seemed that the dark clouds were spinning around the imperial palace in the distance.

 

‘I think I’ve seen a scene like this before…Is it because of my mood?’

 

I was engrossed in my work for several days, and I was staring at a strange phenomenon.

 

Daniel, who was helping me review the documents, approached me.

 

“It was just cloudy until this morning.”

 

“The flow of the clouds seems a bit odd too, doesn’t it?”

 

Groaar!

 

A roar came from the sky as if to cut off our conversation.

 

In an instant, Daniel’s pupils constricted vertically.

 

“Frey, this is—”

 

It was as if something I couldn’t feel was captured by his transcendental senses.

 

Almost at the same time, with a bang, the door opened and Damon and Arsene came towards me, pale.

 

“Frey!”

 

“Lydia is sick! That’s a bit scary….”

 

“Lydia?”

 

I asked back as I patted the backs of the children.

 

Arsene used his ability to look out the window toward the imperial palace, then continued.

 

“Lydia has the color of wine, and it’s a very swirl. That, round and round cookies a while ago.”

 

“…..?”

 

Arsene’s urgent explanation while stamping his feet, but I didn’t understand at all.

 

The ability of the previous life, which was able to understand the babbling of infants and toddlers, was not activated in this life.

 

However, Daniel, who raised two transcendental beings since he was single and had no nephews, was different.

 

“In Arsene’s eyes, he can see the wine-colored emotions swirling around Lydia like a whirlpool. There was a similar pattern in the cookies they enjoyed the other day.”

 

“As expected, me too!”

 

Damon and Arsene were delighted with the performance of the dedicated translator.

 

‘How did you know that, Daniel?’

 

I respected him, but now was not the time to leisurely argue about such things.

 

‘If it’s a whirlpool centered on a transcendental being-‘

 

“The color of wine is very sad. It seems like Lydia is trying to give up….”

 

“…..!”

 

As soon as I heard Arsene’s words, the beginning of <The Abandoned World> was pictured in my mind.

‘The runaway of the transcendent.’

 

In the original story, Damon and Arsene learn that Daniel, who cared for them, has been murdered.

 

The two think that it is okay to destroy a world where the object of attachment is gone.

 

[According to the master’s will, the transcendental’s supernatural ability began to swirl around them, and then…]

 

‘It starts to destroy everything.’

 

Recalling that sentence, I finally realized why I had a feeling of deja vu at the situation outside the window.

 

Just before the world in the game <The Abandoned World> was destroyed, the visible scenery was exactly like this.

 

“Baron. Send someone to the imperial palace to find out what happened to Lydia.”

 

I followed the children who suddenly ran and said to Baron, the butler who was standing in the office.

 

“It might be a ‘runaway’ of transcendentalists, so we need to figure it out quickly. First, find out if Lydia has a high fever that is out of common sense.”

Shortly after Baron sent Luke to the Imperial Palace. Daniel looked at the sky and made a serious face.

 

“Frey. If it’s really a ‘transcendence runaway’, within a week the cloud of this ability will expand and swallow everything around it.”

 

Transcendentalists went out of control, which had happened several times in previous generations, so there were records of it.

 

When Daniel first brought in Damon and Arsene, he had read and memorized the record over and over again.

 

However, Frey also boasted no less knowledge about the ‘runaway’ of the transcendent.

 

“It’s not like she’s just unleashing her powers for a brief moment in surprise,….the air is already swirling around Lydia.”

 

“How did Her Highness the Grand Duchess—”

 

Waiting for Luke, who had been sent to the imperial palace, to return, the Baron and his vassals looked respectfully at Frey as she recited about the runaway.

 

‘As expected, she studied the young master’s power as much as His Highness.’

 

‘His Highness, he may realize a lot of things because he is transcendent, but Her Highness, the Grand Duchess, really…  she must have worked hard.’

 

Daniel was also amazed at Frey’s extensive knowledge of transcendental beings.

 

‘Even when making money using rose quartz and aquarine and building a sacred tower, I sensed that she was interested in various fields.’

 

The question was whether the numerous people in the palace, who served Garnet, Tahar, and Lydia knew about the Transcendental as much as Frey did.

 

‘I never expected anything from Tahar in the first place. Even the crown Princess didn’t seem to notice the child’s subtle changes.’

 

While putting so many people into Lydia’s education, there is no one who is aware of and considerate of the child’s condition.

 

“If they had paid as much attention to their child as you did, something like today would never have happened.”

 

Daniel said, thinking of Tahar and Garnet, who did not qualify as parents.

 

Soon after, Luke, who had been dispatched to the palace, arrived, and Daniel’s expression darkened even more.

 

“Your Highness Lady Lydia is suffering from an insanely high fever.”

 

As Prause’s vassal, he affirmed.

 

“Soon, Lady Lydia’s ‘runaway’ will begin in earnest.”

 

“……”

 

Luke’s conviction made the air heavy.

 

Frey cursed inwardly as he affectionately embraced the fearful children without knowing why.

 

‘The humans who used Lydia like that didn’t even notice that the child’s condition was getting worse.’

 

She shook her head momentarily.

 

In the original story, it is Damon and Arsene who rebel.

 

‘Damon’s ability is to emit strong physical force without being able to control it, and Arsene’s ability can make the surroundings devastated even if it runs out of control.’

 

The problem was that Lydia was much stronger than the two children.

 

Because Lydia received harsh early education from birth, her abilities were more open than Damon or Arsene.

 

‘Since she had her 3rd awakening at such a young age….’

 

Daniel opened his mouth before Frey could organize her thoughts.

 

“In terms of time, the main building of the imperial palace will be safe until today, so the doctor should go with Luke and inform the imperial palace of Lydia’s condition and evacuate the people inside the palace.”

 

“Yes, Your Highness.”

 

“Especially help His Majesty move to a safe place.”

 

Daniel gave a few more instructions.

 

Lydia’s power had just begun to permeate the dark clouds, so there was still plenty of time to reduce casualties.

 

Assuming, of course, that Lydia’s rampage can be quelled in the beginning.

 

‘If a transcendental figure like Lydia runs rampant to the limit, the capital will be destroyed.’

 

Daniel didn’t speak the truth so as not to make everyone nervous.

 

Instead, he decided to do what he had to do now.

 

“Since the signs of runaway are just starting to appear, we need to stop Lydia from running out of control in the early stages.”

 

Frey, who was listening to the story with a serious face, paused.

 

“Daniel. What do you mean stop the runaway?”

 

In the original story, Damon and Arsene were able to stop their rampage only after exhausting all their strength and reaching the point of exhaustion.

 

To subdue them, Lydia had to use her powers to the point of exhaustion.

 

“If we fight back with the power of the transcendent, we may be able to block it, but we cannot send Damon and Arsene to battle.”

 

‘You, who care about children, must have the same thoughts as me.’

 

Thinking so, Frey’s body suddenly stiffened.

 

According to the original story, she should not have been a person of this world, but he was the one he protected.

 

“I’m here, Frey.”

 

Daniel Prause, the transcendentalist, smiled brightly as she met his eyes.
