The Son-In-Law Of A Prestigious Household Wants A Divorce-Chapter 75: Evergard Terror Incident
Chapter 75: Evergard Terror Incident
“...”
Silverna, who had been waiting outside the church, watched as Isaac slowly came out.
I should greet him with a smile.
Until just now, they had been training together, eating, and joking around.
They had been apart for only 10 minutes, but his expression couldn’t be any more different; filled with a complex mix of emotions.
But, what should I say at a time like this?
If only Anna is here... Surely the romance novels she read have something for me to follow for situations like this...
Silverna waved her hand, trying to ignore her anxiety.
The most she could do right now was to treat him like usual, as if nothing had happened.
“Back already?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay! Why don’t we eat something? I know a good restaurant nearby.”
As if everything was normal.
Silverna suggested with a faint smile.
But Isaac shook his head.
“I don’t think we have that kind of luxury.”
“Huh?”
As if on cue, a rough voice, resembling a cry, rang out.
At first, it was difficult to tell where the sound—which sounded both human and inhuman—was coming from.
“ISAAAAAAC!”
Only after it rang out again did they realize that the voice—a roar—was coming from the underground.
To be exact, from the sewer holes.
“Wait, could this be...”
Silverna hurriedly unstrapped the spear on her back, while Isaac re-fastened the sword he had just returned to his waist.
BOOM!
At that moment, the sewer’s cover shot into the sky. From below it rose something grotesque; like a chaotic mix of various things.
It resembled a lump of flesh.
To be exact, a grotesque mix of various pieces of flesh, surrounded by Red Aura.
Thud!
Five lumps from the mass of flesh touched the ground, resembling fingers.
That was when the pair realized that what presumed to be flesh, was actually an arm.
Crack!
Then, cracks began to form around the sewer. With a spray of water that shattered the ground, what appeared was—
“ISAAAAAAAAC!”
Alois, whose severed right arm had been grotesquely regenerated and transformed into the massive lump of flesh.
“What the—?!”
“Wow, I didn’t expect him to go this far.”
Isaac had anticipated his betrayal, but he hadn’t expected him to change to this extent.
This wasn’t just a simple Vassalization, but something beyond that.
The Transcendent Race’s sorcery had transformed Alois into a Demonic Beast that no longer resembled humans in any way.
“ISAAAAAAAC!”
Alois’ red eyes were fixed on his nemesis.
“Kyaaaaaah!”
“W-What is that?!”
“D-Demonic Beasts! C-Call the guards!”
Alois wasn’t the only one.
Similar-looking Demonic Beasts also poured out through the large hole in the ground that he had opened.
Judging by the armor and helmets overlaid on the flesh, they were likely the guards who had been guarding the dungeon.
Unlike Alois, they spread out into the city like dandelion seeds.
Silverna’s eyes widened and her body stiffened. She was about to chase after them, but she hesitated for a moment.
Pat.
But Isaac patted her back before giving her a nod.
“Go.”
“...Don’t lose.”
Trusting him to take care of himself, she chased after the rampaging Demonic Beasts.
Of course, Alois didn’t even bother to pay attention to Silverna.
“I didn’t expect you to fall this low.”
Isaac placed his hand on his tachi, intentionally not drawing it.
Meanwhile, Alois’ Crimson Essence swirled around like tentacles on a rampage.
It was clear that each tentacle didn’t seem to be moving according to Alois’ intentions, but he just sneered, his drool pouring out.
“I’ll break your lower body and crush it with my teeth! Where is my sister? You trash. I’ll lick, chew, violate, and eat my sister’s fair skin—!”
“Guess I’d have to cut your tongue first.”
Just like back in Isaac’s previous life when he was under Vassalization, Alois seemed to be unable to rein in his thoughts and kept spilling out the words in his head.
He continued to spout disgusting words that were hard for normal people to utter.
Then suddenly, as he moved his massive right arm to crush Isaac’s body in a surprise attack...

Whoosh!
A heavy, refreshing sound of wind being split echoed.
Not only that, but the ground was dyed red as if a bucket of blood had been spilled.
Alois’s proud right arm easily fell to the ground, as if cut by something.
Rianna. Somehow was able to retrieve her greatsword, she stood in front of Isaac.
When Isaac left her, she was talking with the princess inside the church, but it seemed like the commotion outside drew her attention.
“Ah! Aaaah! Sisteeer!”
“...Alois?”
Rianna frowned.
Her eyes were red from crying just moments ago.
But her stance, her sword, was firm.
She had regained her composure, but the moment she saw her brother, her expression turned into that of a perplexion.
“Is that...really you...?”
“Ah! Sister! You recognized me! Yes! We are connected by blood, indeed! Ah! Sister! Beloved sister! I want to lick your fair, white skin! To explore your lips! To chew your tongue—!”
“...”
Rianna’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Isaac, who was standing beside her, quickly offered her an explanation.
“He can’t rein in his thoughts, so he just says whatever is in his mind. Think of it as if his tongue has a hole in it.”
“Are you saying the things he said all came from his own thoughts? Not because his mind was corrupted or anything?”
“...”
“He had such thoughts about me even before this?”
“Probably?”
Isaac shrugged, and Rianna’s expression darkened rapidly. She gripped her greatsword tighter.
“Ah! Sister! Even your angry face is so beautiful! I want to see it! Your crying face! The sight of you begging me—!”
“...”
“This son of a bitch took that away from me! Kuaaaaaaah! Damn iiiit! I can’t stand it anymore!”
Rianna’s face turned ashen. She seemed to be wondering if this really was her brother.
“Your first night! Aak! The night you shed your virgin blood! Do you know how much I suffered?! I harmed myself over and over! I wanted to barge into the bedroom with my greatsword—!”
Crack!
Rianna’s Crimson Essence pierced through Alois. There was a fed up expression on her face, as if she didn’t want to listen to this farce anymore.
“Helmont will no longer let Isaac get hurt.”
Rianna said resolutely, her eyes trembled slightly.
“Mother! Mother should have just killed that bastard. Instead of using him as blackmail material, she should have just killed him outright— Huk?! This! Ah! This is— the taste of my sister!”
Interestingly, Alois’ Crimson Essence began to grow larger as if it was absorbing Rianna’s.
Not only that, his severed arm was also being regenerated.
“It seems Crimson Essence doesn’t work on him.”
Isaac stepped forward as he said that, while Rianna nodded at him.
“Sisteeer! Don’t stand next to that bastard!”
“Alois, please. Just shut up.”
* * *Listening to the screams and the violent noise of destruction, Riezel, the Transcendent who could be called the mastermind behind this Evergard Terror Incident, smirked.
She was watching this whole thing—the horrific deaths, and the ensuing chaos—from the rooftop of a tall building.
“Ah~ How sweet~”
She smiled brightly as she gulped down the wine that she had stolen.
The red wine flowing down her lips was as sweet as human blood, intoxicating her.
“They probably took their lives for granted, never considering it a blessing even once.”
Riezel savored the wine, swinging the bottle like an orchestra conductor.
“Foolish ones. You who took peace ever so lightly, and considered both the sky and the earth as if they were yours—! You shall soon meet your demi—”
“Ahem. Sorry?”
At that, Riezel slowly turned her gaze.
Near the edge of the rooftop, a girl with pigtails stood.
She was none other than Sharen Helmont.
With a greatsword slung over her shoulder, she awkwardly called out to her, knowing that she interrupted her monologue.
“Uh, you seemed to be really enjoying your monologue, so I tried to wait...
“But... It didn’t seem like it was going to end, so I kinda...just called out to you. A-Ah, don’t be embarrassed! Talking to yourself isn’t a bad thing!
“It’s just... How should I put it? You seem like you don’t have many friends, you know...”
Clang!
Crimson Essence flowed from Sharen’s greatsword as she took her stance.
“How did you get here?”
Riezel asked, genuinely curious. As if she had been waiting for that question, a bright smile immediately appeared on Sharen’s face.
“Isaac told me to keep an eye on Alois! I had been standing guard, and I sensed you at some point!”
“Helmont...”
Of course. Helmont.
Their senses are always as good as ours.
Riezel turned her head slightly.
That was when she noticed that the number of Demonic Beasts rampaging in the city was a little lower than expected.
“Lohengrin is blocking the rest of them. He’s an idiot, but even he should be able to block off the dungeon on his own.”
“His response is quicker than I expected...”
“Right? I’m surprised too! But, I heard Isaac gave Lohengrin a separate instruction as well. He told that idiot to stay alert for today!”
“Isaac...again...?”
The Northern Region, the Sword Dance Festival, Blackthorn.
And now, here in Evergard.
The feeling that he was always one step ahead of them couldn’t be shaken off.
In terms of combat power, he wasn’t much, but he always managed to twist the flow and block all of their advances.
We can’t leave him be.
Riezel stretched out her tail with a sigh.
Then, claws rose from both her hands.
Seeing this, Sharen grinned with confidence as she gripped her greatsword.
“You need to take better care of your nails! You think you can win with those?”
“...”
Helmont...
Sharen was an exceptional swordsman for her age, while Riezel’s skills were insufficient to be considered a combatant.
It was a situation where she was likely to lose if they fought.
“You wanna know something?”
So, Riezel decided to use a different tactic.
“Hm~? Trying to talk your way out? Sorry, but fight first, talk la—”
“All of this...is merely a distraction.”
“...Huh?”
Sharen hesitated for a moment.
Seizing that moment, Riezel pushed off the ground with her tail and flew forward.
She lunged with spring-like elasticity, but.
Boom!
She was easily blocked by Sharen’s greatsword.
“Our real target is...”
Utilizing the close distance, Riezel whispered with a smile.
“Your father.”
