Chapter 2.
Around that time.
Biante, who had received a message from Elkai to come to the Duke's castle, was grinding his teeth.
"What does it have to do with me that Edenber summoned a weak monster!"
He only learned that Edenber had been preparing to summon an ancient creature after Ashil was summoned.
Although he had planted eyes and ears in the Duke's family, the clever young one had hidden it so well.
If he had known in advance, he would have interfered long ago.
He had hoped it would be bitten to death by the monster, but it seemed to be fine, as he kept getting calls.
Well, it was said to be such a weak monster that there was even an attack.
"He can't even raise it to a Divine Beast anyway, so he should just kill it. Why is he calling me?"
He was currently in the capital.
It was to build various connections and get help in rising to the Duke's position.
But his father kept calling him every other day, so he couldn't get anything done properly.
"Surely, he's not trying to make that thing his Divine Beast, is he?"
"I don't think so."
His aide, who had been watching the movements of the Duke's castle since Ashil was summoned, replied.
"However, it seems they are watching it for a while because it breathed a big fire during the attack. And this is just a rumor, but-"
He lowered his voice.
"There's also talk that it broke the Orichalcum door with its bare hands-"
"Nonsense."
Biante cut him off with a frown before he could finish speaking.
"Orichalcum doesn't even get a scratch even if there's an explosion, what? Broke it with bare hands?"
