Uninhabited Island Level 9999: Creating the Strongest Island Nation with Uninhabited Island Developm

Chapter 72 – Turnaround Victory

“First Crown Prince Wagner has lost. Therefore, please refrain from further attacks, Rasty-sama.”

“You… you were a woman?”

Her face was terrifyingly well-defined, like a doll. She was an incredibly beautiful girl. Her yellow-green hair swayed in the wind as she directed her eyes of the same color towards me. I had never met the Knight Commander or Vice Commander before. The Empire was constantly at war, so the Leopold Knights were frequently on expeditions here and there. Therefore, I never had the opportunity to meet them.

But, it’s strange.

A girl who looked younger than Skor… was the Vice Commander?

“Pleased to meet you, Rasty-sama. This is the first time we’ve met. My name is ‘Eduardo.'”

“Ah, ah… I’m sorry, but please withdraw from this island.”

“Yes. But only after treating Wagner-sama.”

In a matter-of-fact tone, the Vice Commander pointed his hand at Wagner, who had fallen miserably.

“What are you going to do?”

“I told you, I will treat him. His entire body is fractured and he is in a very dangerous condition. Let’s fully heal him with the highest level of healing magic—Glorious Heal.”

Wagner’s entire body glowed softly, and his lacerations were instantly healed. Gradually, he regained consciousness, stood up while clutching his head.

“…Kuh, where am I? That’s right! Rasty, you b*st*rrrrd—guh, aaaahhhhhhh!?”

He tried to attack, but Wagner was swiftly subdued by Vice Commander Eduardo’s magic(?), collapsing with a single blow. He was being restrained with considerable force. Was it a gravitational magic?

“Wagner-sama has been defeated. Indeed, you are not worthy of me after all. I will annul our engagement.”

“――――Wha?! Wait, Eduardo!”

Wagner tried to grab the Vice Commander, but the Vice Commander’s magic restrained him. He was bound by a swirling rope of light. Even though he was confidently saying that he was the strongest, he was no match for the Vice Commander. Seriously… Eduardo’s magic was just too powerful.

“The restraint and suppression earlier were all due to a unique ability called ‘Soul Telekinesis.'”

I don’t know why, but I was able to see the ability.

[Soul Telekinesis] [Lv.10]

[Active Skill]

[Effective Range: Large]

[Effects]
① Restrains the target.
② Renders the target unable to act through binding.
③ Dark attribute attack +35%.
④ Inflicts the abnormal status [Darkness] with a high probability.
⑤ Reduces the fixed casting time of all skills by half for a certain duration. This effect can only be used once. Cooldown time is five minutes.

What the heck is this… It’s completely absurd.

This is like a great mage or sage… Ah!

“Vice Commander, you, could it be…”

“It looks like you’ve finally realized, Rasty-sama. Yes, that’s right. I am the Great Sage Eduardo. Due to certain circumstances, I hold the position of Vice Commander in the Empire, but I’m thinking of intruding on this island from now on.”

“Yes!?”

“For now, it is important to return this incompetent first prince to the country. I will use forced teleportation to send him back.”

――And so, Eduardo calmly proceeded with the matter. What is with this person! As I watched, she turned her palm towards Wagner.

“Eduardo!! Are you… saying that you would choose that idiotic and foolish Rasty over me!! He is bottomlessly incompetent!!”

“I don’t think so. You, who are famous as the Ice Emperor, were splendidly defeated. I like strong people.”

“…Guh.”

Perhaps he gave up, Wagner became dejected. Then, he disappeared through teleportation. Wait, was that a real teleportation? This girl called Eduardo seems to be a genuine “Great Sage.” But something doesn’t add up.

The legend of the Holy Demon is a story from a long time ago.

The people from that time shouldn’t be alive… Yet, there’s a girl with the same name… And her abilities are on a completely different level. I can’t help but think she’s the real deal.

The Vice Commander of the Empire who is also The Great Sage. An extraordinary person has come to this island. Honestly, I’m more surprised by her appearance than by Wagner’s. Now then, what should I do…?
