"Number 275?!"
Regulus's eyes were wide with rage, his shouted voice seemed to tremble. He wished he could tear Satou Kazuma in front of him into pieces.
His heart's next container, another one of his wives, had been transferred over by Satou Kazuma using some means.
How did this guy do it?
If it was just any random wife, it would be fine, but this guy always manages to accurately grab the one with his heart.
Is it a coincidence?
Or...
Does this guy know the effect of my power?
No, impossible!
Although Regulus found it hard to believe, he didn't dare to take the risk. He could only transfer his heart to another place as quickly as possible.
On the other side, Satou Kazuma felt the speed of the heart beating in the person in front of him gradually return to normal.
"What, what's going on?"
The girl's face also showed a surprised expression.
She clearly was just in the mansion, but suddenly she was transported to this place.
"You are one of Regulus's wives, right?"
Satou Kazuma said immediately.
He felt like he had grasped the edge of the truth.
Steal again!
A third girl appeared in front of Satou Kazuma.
Her heart was beating too!
Damn, I only have two hands.
No, that's not what I should be focusing on right now!
Satou Kazuma had gradually found Regulus's weakness!
Satou Kazuma was a bit confused earlier, wondering why his stealing could bring over the other's wives.
In theory, he could only steal objects on the target.
Regulus treats his wives as objects. Perhaps that's why Satou Kazuma can make them the target of his stealing.
But there's still a question.
Even if the wives can be treated as objects, they aren't with Regulus. Why can they still be stolen?
Combining Regulus's change in attitude and the strange heart rate of his wives, Satou Kazuma had a guess in his mind.
Regulus can use some means to transfer his heart to his wives. That's why he could feel a double heart rate from their chests.
There are two hearts beating!
Perhaps because of Regulus's heart transfer, these wives are also considered his belongings!
And because of the presence of his heart, Regulus doesn't dare to attack rashly!
Regulus isn't invincible after all! He does have weaknesses!
However, Satou Kazuma doesn't know how to take Regulus's heart out of these wives. And since the other party can transfer his heart immediately, he only has one choice now.
Steal all his wives!
More than fifty wives!?
Unfair, unfair, unfair!
He's just average-looking, average-bodied, and has the personality of an idiot. How can a guy like that be surrounded by beautiful girls!
And I'm only stuck with a useless, annoying goddess!
Why!
Not only does he have many wives, but he also seems to have a perverted ability.
This guy is unforgivable!
I'll make you see the cruelness of the world!
"Steal!"
"Steal!"
"Steal!"
"Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait! Stop stealing!"
In just a few seconds, dozens of Regulus's wives had been forcibly sent to Satou Kazuma.
Regulus didn't dare to attack rashly, fearing that he would accidentally hurt the wife holding his heart. He could only keep transferring his heart to the wives hidden in his secret mansion.
He clearly hid those wives in a place unknown to anyone. But this guy can directly teleport them over.
What is this guy's background!
Crusch and the others looked at Satou Kazuma in shock, even a little at a loss.
They didn't know how Satou Kazuma did it, and they didn't know how to get involved.
What's happening now is beyond their imagination.
"Kazuma-sama is really full of fighting spirit!"
Wilhelm couldn't help but sigh, looking at Satou Kazuma.
"Ahhhhhh, you got so many wives! I won't forgive you!"
At this moment, Satou Kazuma's expression seemed distorted as he roared hysterically at Regulus.
Regulus knew very well that if he continued to waste time, all his wives would probably be stolen.
Must escape! Must escape!
Regulus didn't have time to hesitate anymore. He turned around, stomped on the ground, and leaped into the air. He activated his power, escaping from this place at an amazing speed.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Ram immediately released magic. A terrifying hurricane instantly struck—
But after all, Regulus activated his power and fixed his body's movement. So even though Ram had very strong power, she couldn't stop him.
"Hey, don't run away if you have the guts! You coward! Do you dare to face me!!!! You jerk who's hogging the toilet without doing anything!"
Satou Kazuma scolded Regulus's disappearing back, endlessly, until his mouth was dry.
"I, I've never seen Regulus run away..."
Geuse looked at Satou Kazuma in shock.
He knew Regulus's strength very well. He was one of the most terrifying beings in this world.
And this strong person was forced back by Satou Kazuma.
Not only Geuse, but those women who were forcibly made into Regulus's wives were also stunned by everything.
They had seen Regulus's terror, which made them not even think about running or resisting.
Such a demon ran away?
And they themselves were inexplicably teleported to this place.
What did this young man do?
"What did you guys see in him?"
Just as Satou Kazuma was about to turn around and question them, the girl who was called Number 184 burst into tears and knelt on the ground:
"Thank you, thank you! Thanks to you, we were saved! If it wasn't for you... we don't know how much suffering we would have had under that demon's control!"
Not only her, but the other girls also broke down crying because of their excitement.
"Please, what is the name of our savior!"
Number 184's voice was a little hard to hear because of her sobbing.
"Uh... call, call me Kazuma."
"Kazuma-sama, thank you so much! We will never forget this kindness!"
"Wait, tell me about your situation first!"
Satou Kazuma asked immediately.
Then, Number 184 told her story completely.
She was originally a girl named Sylphy, living carefree with her family in the countryside.
Until Regulus appeared.
Regulus killed her entire family and forced her to become his wife.
Although Regulus didn't do anything to her, living next to Regulus, she couldn't speak without permission. If she angered Regulus, she would be killed on the spot, even for a trivial matter.
The other girls were almost exactly the same as Sylphy, living under Regulus's oppression every day, like a living hell.
Sylphy was so desperate that she even wanted to die to escape.
Until just now, she was rescued by Satou Kazuma.
"This guy is a beast without humanity!"
Just hearing Sylphy's words, Crusch's face showed an angry expression. She knew what she said was true.
Regulus is a real scumbag.
But soon, Crusch seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Satou Kazuma:
"Kazuma-sama must have noticed it! That's why you were so angry at Greed just now."
"Ah? Something like that."
Satou Kazuma scratched his head awkwardly.
As expected, there's no way Regulus is this attractive.
Using such cruel and brutal means to find a wife, this kind of thing is unforgivable from any point of view.
"Really? I thought you were just jealous that he has so many wives~"
Aqua leaned slightly to Satou Kazuma's side, with an interesting expression on her face.
"But Kazuma-sama, how did you do it just now?"
Emilia asked curiously.
She had never seen Satou Kazuma's skill of making people appear out of thin air.
"Ah, this, it's, it's a kind of dark magic, Aqua-sama taught it to me!"
"Huh? Oh, oh, yes, yes, that's right!"
Aqua reacted slowly, nodding to Emilia.
Satou Kazuma also turned to look at Beatrice:
"Dark magic has effects like teleportation, right Betty?"
"Hmph, stupid Kazuma."
Beatrice pouted slightly.
Dark magic can indeed do similar things, but it's impossible to teleport something you've never seen before to another place.
She was very sure that Satou Kazuma wasn't using dark magic.
But after all, Satou Kazuma is Beatrice's partner, so she didn't say it.
"I see, I didn't expect Kazuma-sama to have such an ability."
Crusch looked at Satou Kazuma with admiration. He could only nod guiltily and didn't dare to speak.
"But Kazuma, what were you doing with those actions just now?"
Natsuki Subaru asked from the side.
"What actions?"
"It's just... that action..."
Natsuki Subaru was a little embarrassed to say it.
The cheeks of Sylphy next to Satou Kazuma instantly turned red.
Although Satou Kazuma is her savior...
But having such a thing done to her in public is still a little embarrassing.
"Kazuma-sama can make such vulgar actions, really amazing—"
"Shut up Elsa, I wasn't, I wasn't acting like a pervert just now!"
Satou Kazuma said immediately,
"I was just checking the softness—, heartbeat!"
"Although I'm a little concerned, but Kazuma-sama, when you said softness just now, I didn't detect a lie in the wind."
"Don't worry about that kind of thing! I'm talking about the heartbeat, the heartbeat!"
Satou Kazuma then told all his previous guesses.
Everyone present couldn't help but sigh.
Although Satou Kazuma's actions looked improper, it couldn't be denied that he seemed to have found the right answer.
That's why the invincible Regulus chose to run away.
Natsuki Subaru turned to look around. If Satou Kazuma and Aqua weren't here, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Just then, Aqua let out a heart-wrenching scream.
"What's wrong, Aqua?"
"My, my loot!!!!"
Aqua knelt on the ground, looking at a carriage behind her.
The White Whale tissue that Elsa had cut off after so much hard work was affected by Regulus's power and was in ruins, like a huge piece of rotten flesh.
This was the loot that Aqua originally planned to sell and buy alcohol with.
Satou Kazuma wouldn't let Aqua touch the group's savings at will, so Aqua could only find a way to earn some pocket money.
"Children... I'm sorry... I'm useless... I couldn't bring you out..."
Aqua sat on the ground, lifeless.
.....
Before long, with Aqua's healing, the injured who were affected by Regulus's power were saved—many of whom had suffered fatal injuries that even Felix couldn't heal. But Aqua sprayed a few mouthfuls of alcohol on them, and they were all saved!
Satou Kazuma also learned from Sylphy the location of Regulus's mansion, where half of the women hadn't been rescued.
This also made Satou Kazuma sure that Regulus's power had a range limit.
To save the remaining women in danger—and to completely erase Regulus from this world, Satou Kazuma and Aqua went to the location Sylphy mentioned.
To prevent accidents, Natsuki Subaru also went with them.
Crusch and the others took the White Whale's head and laid, who was knocked out cold and had nearly turned into a vegetable, and first returned to the capital.
Crusch originally wanted to accompany Satou Kazuma and the others, but Aqua strongly opposed it.
"Crusch-sama, you have more important things to do!"
That's what Aqua said to Crusch at the time.
Crusch thought she was talking about protecting the safety of the rest of the team, so she nodded very seriously and returned to the capital with the rest of the group.
She didn't know Aqua's true thoughts—
Crusch should return to the capital early to prepare for the evening's party.
