Mushoku tensei: The renegade heir

[Before I start reading, can you give me power stones?...please!!]

Flute's family lived in the upper middle area of ​​Ars, Augustus her husband was in charge of a Water God style dojo where his daughter and other students trained, and he himself was an advanced rank in that style.

The family lived their lives quietly in their dojo, training their disciples and receiving occasional visits from Reida Reia herself, who as I recall is the only God rank in that style.

The tragedy happened just like with my family.

Lilia noticed the strange sky when she went out to buy something and ran back to her house just when the explosion broke out, Augustus only had time to hug his family and wait for the worst.

But unlike me, they appeared in the middle of a field near Millis, but this one was owned by a guy named "Couleun Elrand" who was a somewhat important noble in the capital of Millis in the anti-demon faction.

August carried his sword with him, but according to Flute they were overwhelmed by higher level soldiers, saint rank at least.

and being in the territories of that type they were considered as invading spies.

August fought with everything he could but was captured, Flute and his daughter Lilia tried to escape as fast as they could but were intercepted by the soldiers, Flute made Lilia escape but she was also captured, now with a broken heart, Flute ran, ran and ran desperately until she reached Vinebrin where she tried to ask for help desperately but no one offered to help her even if they believed her.

so she wandered around the city for several days until she found work as a receptionist at the adventurer's guild to get some money.

also she assumed that all of Asura had also been randomly transported to Millis so with her few savings she put requests for help to my family or derivatives.

That's the most concise I could tell the story, don't judge me!!.

"I see... that's certainly a complicated situation" I muttered with a hand on my chin.

"Do you think you can get them out of there?..." Roxy muttered with concern.

"I don't know... you said at least several saint rank swordsmen right?... I'm an advanced triple but that doesn't make me invincible, I could fight evenly with one or two, but it's impossible against an entire army" I declared.

Flauta's face soured visibly at this and looked at the floor.

Now we were in the inn that Roxy chose for us, it wasn't much but it was clean and now we were in my room.

"I-I see..." Flauta muttered and I sighed.

"Miss Flauta, have you met any other inhabitants of Ars around here?" I muttered.

She looked at me directly for a few seconds but lowered her head again.

"Yes...but they were just common villagers and they started their journey back shortly after getting their bearings" she declared.

"I understand, that only puts us in an even more complicated situation" I said and took my identification ring with the Notos crest out of my pocket.

"I will try to solve this through political means first...and if not...I will die trying" I declared and put the ring on my ring finger.

Shit I just said what came to my mind I don't even know why I'm doing this practically suicidal mission, if it weren't for Hitogami I would have felt sorry for her but nothing more.

Roxy's face contorted into one of visible concern at my declaration.

"Are you sure about that?...I don't mean to offend but you are still a child, I don't think they will take you that seriously despite being of the nobility" she murmured.

"Relax... my father died that day tragically, so now I am the leader of the Notos Greyrat, I am confident that this gives me enough authority to demand something" I said with a nervous smile but it did not calm either of the two women.

"Well... I will need a new suit" I declared as I stood up and left the inn.

...

The Elrand house is a couple of hours from Vinebrin, it is a mansion isolated from the others to the east of the city, the reason for this is unknown, but many speculate that Coulen keeps a significant number of slaves in his mansion.

But unfortunately he did not come as a martyr to save all those people, that would only be if the peaceful negotiations went wrong.

It did not take me more than three hours on horseback to see the white mansion in the distance, it was quite a bit smaller than my mansion in Ars and it also looked like a fortress in the middle of nowhere and I could see some watchtowers.

My horse was going at a certain speed but I started to slow down so as not to seem like a threat, but it wasn't effective as immediately a dozen arrows headed towards me from the control towers, I dodged some with my horse and the rest I repelled with my sword.

"tch..." I clicked my tongue in frustration and got off my horse, I was about fifty meters from the mansion and I could see that some guards were already leaving the mansion to surround me.

He doesn't like visitors, huh?

I raised my hands in surrender as I slowly walked towards them, most of them were swordsmen and I could see several archers aiming in my direction from the watchtowers.

"Identify yourself!! You dare attack House Elrond!!" one of the guards shouted.

"Hey! What have I done? I only came in a peaceful manner!" I complained.

"With swords and with your horse at that speed? Do you think we are stupid?" he shouted and the others unsheathed their swords.

"I would think twice before attacking a noble..." I muttered as I looked him in the eyes.

The guard hesitated momentarily but looked at me with hostility again shortly after.

"Noble, huh? From which house, huh? And why are you coming alone?!" he demanded.

I raised my right hand even more, emphasizing the ring on my hand.

"My name is Paul Notos Greyrat, and I've come to speak with Lord Couleon about an important matter," I declared.

The guard just raised an eyebrow in confusion but another guard approached him and spoke in his ear momentarily and the guy's eyes widened.

"I see... excuse me in that case, I'll guide you to Lord Couleon... put down your weapons!!" The guy shouted and began to walk back towards the mansion with me behind him.

A total of ten guards walked behind me watching me closely, if what Flute said was true some of these guys were at least of saint rank, I have to be careful...

The guards began to stay in different places of the mansion as we advanced until only two remained, the guard who escorted me and behind me the companion who whispered in his ear.

After a few minutes of walking we arrived at a room with several well-decorated armchairs and in the middle of them was a corpulent middle-aged man drinking tea.

The man raised an eyebrow when he saw us while staring at me but nothing more.

"Lord Couleon, Lord Paul Notos Greyrat has come here to talk to you about an important matter" the guard said standing behind me.

Couleon just looked at me out of the corner of his eye and continued drinking tea.

"I see, okay, sit down Lord Paul" he said and I sat in front of him and shortly after a butler served me a cup of tea.

"Please leave us alone" Couleon said and only the guard who escorted me remained here guarding the door.

Couleon looked me up and down and then sighed.

"It's not every day you see someone from the Asuran nobility in these lands and even less alone" he said.

"Yes... a lot of things happened, I don't know if you are aware of it" I answered.

"Indeed, I found out just a week ago, you have my condolences Lord Paul" he said making a slight bow which I reciprocated.

"But still, I don't see the reason for your visit to my lands sir, what do you want to talk about?" he murmured while staring at me.

I sighed slowly and looked at him the same way.

"As you know a couple of months ago there was a catastrophe in the Asuran capital and I like all the inhabitants of Ars were victims of it" I said, Couleon only leaned forward slightly as he listened to me.

"I for my part was teleported to the great forest and had the help of the Dedoldia with whom I will be indebted for life" I said, I could see Couleon's eyebrows tremble slightly at this but I ignored it.

"But I know that many were not as lucky as me and that is what I have come to talk about, a couple of months ago an Asuran family of three people appeared near your lands and were mistaken for spies and then unjustly captured, what I have come to ask you is that you please release August and Lilia from their imprisonment for their repatriation" he declared.

"...tch" Couleon just clicked his tongue and took another sip of his tea.

"And just like that? Just like that you think I will release the transgressors who attacked my mansion?...I don't care if they were teleported against their will or shit like that, their fate was sealed when that bastard killed several of my guards" Couleon said in a cold tone and I could see how the guard grabbed the hilt of his sword.

"Lord Couleon... maybe you are not understanding the seriousness of your statements, if you continue with this thought it will be considered as an act of war towards-

"bullshit, do you think I do not know the state Ars is in?... Lord Paul?..." Couleon said with disdain emphasizing my name at the end.

I tensed at his statement but tried to remain calm.

"What do you mean by state..." I muttered with irritation.

"Heh!, the next time you want to try to fool someone you better inform yourself better, Paul Notos Greyrat and his entire family except for Philemon Notos Greyrat was declared dead after the mana disaster, fucking impostor child!" Couleon said and the guard began to unsheathe his sword.

"... I don't know what the hell you mean, I am Paul Notos Greyrat son of Amarant Notos Greyrat and Valentina Notos Greyrat!, I will not allow this deal from you Lord Couleon!" I shouted.

"Hah! Whatever you say, kid! Who sent you? The cardinal?!, I bet it was him!! Everyone in his faction is a bunch of weak fucking idiots who don't know the danger of accepting demons!!" Couleon said with a sadistic smile as he stood up from his seat, the guard was already close to us and was unsheathing his sword.

"is this how it's going to be?..." I murmured, looking into his eyes.

"Jah!, Ford!, kill this child!, and then prepare the carriage to leave for Millis!" Couleon said and got up from his couch and left the room.

The guard unsheathed his sword and when he was about to attack me...

I simply gathered mana in my hands and sent a Sonic boom to Ford that sent him flying towards the wall.

I wasted no time and conjured a stone spear that pierced the walls of the mansion until I got out of it and began to run towards it.

"tch!, fucking kid!, everyone catch that kid!!" Ford shouted behind me but I conjured a stone pillar to stop him.

After running through a couple of walls, several guards stood blocking my way...

"Fuuuu...we have to go back to mom" I muttered to myself, I unsheathed my two swords and executed a long sword of silence.

Surprisingly, the attack took several guards by surprise and only one was able to dodge the attack, but I threw a stone bullet at him that hit him directly in the head, killing him instantly.

(slash!!)

The stone wall I had conjured behind me to contain Ford was split like butter and out came three guards...

The Saint ranks..

Without wasting time, more guards stood in front of me and started running. I conjured a stronger stone wall on both sides and with a pillar of earth I destroyed the roof of the mansion, And with a Sonic Boom I rose into the air until I was on the roof.

Being on the roof I realized that there were already several guards surrounding the mansion, I could count around 40.

I don't know how many of them might be saint-ranked or advanced among them all, but I don't want to take any chances.

"Shit...with this I'll surely make the whole of Millis an enemy..." I muttered and created fireballs in both hands.

Some guards were already starting to climb up the place so I released the spell.

Two huge columns of fire came out of my hands burning everything in their path, a powered flamethrower...

The screams and the smell of burning flesh reached my ears and nose, which made me feel repulsed, but the ship of peaceful escape has already set sail.

Seeing that the roof was a suicide zone, the archers started shooting at me, but a few earth walls were more than enough.

When I saw that no guard dared to come out anymore, I conjured another huge stone pillar on the mansion and let it fall jumping at the last moment.

The huge stone boulder destroyed the mansion completely crushing many guards and people in the process, I didn't know if there were children or women around here, I didn't see any on my way so I hope no.

Of the mansion only the fortified garden remained, with stone bullets I got rid of the guards in the watchtowers and only about three guards came to confront me but I could see the fear in their faces.

"G-give up! You're under arrest by the order of the Millis Knights!" One of the guards said in terror but none of them approached me.

"Is it worth it? Couleon is probably already dead, do you really want to die here defending someone who is already dead?" I muttered and doubt settled on the guards' gazes.

I simply took advantage of this, moved at the speed of sound and in the blink of an eye I split them all in half.

Only the ruins of the mansion remained, and above them a huge stone rock that I destroyed with magic, which gave way to a cloud of dust that I also destroyed with wind magic.

I don't know where the basement was but it was my time to search, there were no more guards so I was able to do it without being bothered.

After half an hour of searching I was able to find what appeared to be stairs leading to an underground area of the mansion.

There was a staircase in total darkness which I went down with both swords in hand, and at the bottom of those stairs was a door.

With a stone bullet I opened the door and quickly entered into combat position.

What I found there was taken from a horror movie.

Hundreds of human bodies and what I could see of Doldias were strewn on the ground, mutilated, and some hanging by chains with only their torso or some limbs missing.

The smell of blood and decomposition made me vomit right there, in one corner a girl with purple hair was hanging with chains and next to her was a man in the same way.

"It's them..." I muttered as I slowly approached.

At the back of the room I could see that there were two guards with swords in hand and behind them was Couleon.

The guards were Ford and the guy who escorted me from behind into the mansion.

"this is my last obstacle..." I muttered as I got into a combat stance and without thinking twice I lunged at them.
