Chapter 660 – Strength and Proof

000

"Berlin…"

“It’s been a while, boss. How was the gift I prepared? I prepared this because I felt like I would reminisce about old times while killing those guys. Didn’t the captain even get a warm-up?”

As soon as he saw his face, some of the memories of the Demon Sword Emperor he had seen before flashed back in Cleon’s mind.

He was present when Cain rebelled and murdered the previous emperor.

One of the black giants, conquering Berlin.

When it comes to the power radiating from his large frame and his vicious character instilling fear in his enemies, no one in the empire would surpass him except the Demon Sword Emperor.

If we say that Otis strengthened the emperor’s authority and gathered loyalty through propaganda and manipulation.

As Cain’s executioner, Berlin was the embodiment of the fear created by the emperor, who sought out and beheaded numerous internal enemies.

As soon as Cleon saw him, he stared at him while holding Galatea, and slowly moved his feet to the side of the fallen Kanon.

“If it’s that woman, there’s no problem with her, boss. I just knocked it out because I was afraid it might interfere with our conversation… And I just knocked it out, so I could use this place as a temporary hiding place. I promise she didn’t do anything other than suck blood.”

“Captain? Ha.”

That was the title he used to call Cain.

Already, in his eyes, Cleon seemed to be seen only as Cain.

Just like Lilim before him and Poltuk before he died.

Illenu and other colleagues seemed to have doubts about Berlin calling Cleon that way, but at first they were glaring at him as if to keep him in check.

Aine pondered her resentment, feeling that the murderous intent and intimidation she felt from him was clearly dangerous.

If you and Drayne attack each other, all you can do is waste time.

If Ilenuna and Cleon don’t fight together, they won’t be able to suppress him on their own.

And, the moment Cleon called him ‘Berlin’, the three people were able to know his identity.

He is one of the most famous war criminals on the continent.

Even though he was known to be dead, that was also the case with Poltuk not long ago.

So, the three people instantly understood that he was also revived for the same reason as Poltuk and took a fighting stance.

And then, Cleon arrives next to Kanon and leans down to look at her condition.

Like Dryne, there is only slight bleeding from two small holes in her arms.

Other than losing consciousness, there were no serious injuries.

My forehead was a little red, but maybe it was a wound from falling.

“Ah, that’s the scar he got when I showed up, and he fell asleep on his own. Don’t misunderstand because I’m not like that.”

Seeing Cleon examining her forehead, Berlin was making excuses like that.

At times like this, she would normally respond by saying ‘don’t be funny’, but it was quite possible for her to do so in she-canon.

Therefore, Cleon sat her down against the wall and raised her body to look at Beylin once again.

"What is the purpose?"

In response to Cleon’s barbed tone, Bayerlin shrugs her shoulders and pretends to be worried while stroking her chin.

“Purpose? Hmm… That’s the purpose.”

However, she soon grinned, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she answered him.

“The purpose is simple. Come with me, Captain! If it’s the current continent where there is no Reshia or Decheck, everything can be made into one just as the captain wanted!”

Looking at Beirlin shouting like a man with a big dream, Cleon put her hand on her forehead and sighed.

However, Beirlin paused in that state for a moment, then her expression became unamused and-

“—. I’d like to say it, but What does that mean? In today’s world, where there are no strong guys like that, let’s try robbing an empty house.”

So, what she said a little while ago was said as she lowered her arms as if it was just a joke.

He then looks at Cleon with a somewhat sad expression.

“That doesn’t mean anything. Establishing a great empire, unifying humanity, ending a false world… It means nothing.”

“Then… You don’t want to revive the empire and the Demon Sword Emperor?”

When Cleon asked that question as if he couldn’t believe it, Berlin laughed and spoke to Cleon.

“That is an additional purpose anyway. Even when it was called the dark giant of the empire, it had no meaning to me. There was only one thing I wanted.”

As she continued speaking, Beirlin’s eyes burned with hatred accumulated in the past, anger, and a desire for revenge.

“It’s power! What I want is the power to live as I want without giving in to anyone!”

A spark seemed to fly in Cleon’s head.

In the past, she had heard such stories.

In a split second, the memories of Cain, chained within him, are released.

The scene of that memory was forced to unfold before Cleon’s eyes.

001

At the Imperial Military Academy, specific missions were periodically assigned to platoons within the school in order to accumulate practical experience to foster excellent officers.

Most of the missions involve patrolling the empire, removing factors that may become obstacles to the lives of the people of the empire, or dealing with monsters around the area at the request of the residents.

Of course, even if it was a practical mission, they were still students, and most of the excellent students were from noble families – so to speak, children of high people, so there was a limit to the work they could take on.

Moreover, the professors probably thought that there would be no students who would cross the border for a mission, even if it was dangerous.

“Okay. The tracking needle still points towards the wilderness of the Eastern Country. What? Come back? Just kidding. Does he think he can come this far and go back? They killed three imperial citizens and turned two of them into living corpses. If we go back now, who will resolve the grudges of the bereaved families?”

When the sound of someone arguing was heard in the place where the tent was set up for camping, the girl who was listening could only sigh.

Red eyes with raised tips, dyed blond hair with black bridges.

On the military academy uniform he was wearing, a medal granted only to students who had achieved excellent grades for three consecutive years was shining.

Everywhere she looks, she appears to be a noble lady and speaks while checking her own weapon, her plain sword.

“It’s still like that.”

As she was waiting for the person who was talking next to the campfire to return, a young man came across from her and the campfire and sat down in her seat.

“I don’t think anything the captain said is wrong. They clearly took the lives of Imperial citizens, and punishing them for that is upholding Imperial law. The reason the school is trying to invite us is probably because of senior Hutina.”

“It’s my fault, Otis?”

"No, no, no way. I can only feel once again how precious Lady Hyutina is. Are you saying that they don’t trust people like us… A ‘commoner platoon’? Still, it is true that if we have a young lady, our scope of action expands. Thank you, Miss Hutina.”

He had a sharp appearance, and while smiling, he spoke carefully to Hyutina so as not to offend her.

"It’s not that I wanted to come to this wilderness… Because that guy… It would be difficult if he went somewhere alone. Even though it’s a formality, we’re fiancés.”

As she said that, her face turned red, and she wrapped the ends of her hair with her fingers.

“Also! The love between you two is so hot! The captain is always talking. Hugh Tina says she is the one who makes up for what she lacks in herself. Hey, speaking directly to Miss Tina, she seemed embarrassed.”

“Yeah, really? Hmm…”

When Otis said something energetic, she would turn her head and cover her mouth with her hand, as if she was in a bad mood.

“Anyway. She won’t go back until she catches the culprit. Demerit? Do you think I’m doing this for the score? If I’m going to do it, I’ll do it without the help of the Ministry of Information. "

Finally, while speaking in a rather forced tone, the black-haired young man took off the communication device that was in his ear and stuffed it into his pocket.

Then, when he returned to the campfire, Otis lightly waved at him.

“You fought with the military academy’s intelligence department again. They must be tired of the captain’s stubbornness.”

“The problem is that they are too cowardly. We are mistaken about what we should do.”

While complaining like that, he also sat down next to the campfire, and Tina shook her head again and spoke.

“After graduating from the military academy’s intelligence department, you will join the empire’s intelligence department. … If you create a weakness like that, it will become an obstacle when you succeed in the future, right? You have to be careful, Cain.”

While calling her young man’s name, she looks a little worried as her fiancé.

Perhaps it’s because Otis’ words from earlier had an effect, but Cain sighs and answers.

“Doesn’t care. This won’t even be a weakness.”

The young man from the Dark Demon Clan who answers like that – one person added to the three present here – the young prospect who leads the ‘Cain Platoon’, which is now operated by four people, is saying that he did not do anything wrong.

In fact, other than not revealing their affiliation when entering the Eastern Kingdom, she committed no crime against Cain.

That was the biggest problem.

"…"

“Haha. Well, what Captain Cain says makes sense. More than that, what’s more important is solving the problem in front of you right now.”

What Otis took out of his bag while saying that was a scroll with details of the mission written on it, and a notepad containing the information he had gathered through his own research.

"What we are chasing are a pair of male criminals. Details are unknown, but it is believed that they collected large amounts of blood from the victims’ bodies. All the corpses found had all their blood drained from their bodies, and even those who were seriously injured and still alive had insufficient blood in their bodies.”

“Are you a vampire or something?”

Hearing Tina’s words, which seemed to be half-expecting something like that, Otis shook his head with a troubled expression.

“Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s the case. They were moving around normally during the day, and if they were vampires, they had no reason to run away from us.”

"Then what is it?"

Hutina said that her interest had completely waned, and walking out of the tent as if she had been waiting was a young man wearing glasses and a white coat.

“Let me explain that.”

“As soon as I set up the tent, I went inside and started rattling something. Poltuk… Are you willing to take your mission seriously for now?”

“Hehe. Of course, Ms. Hutina. After all, I am the analyst of this platoon. It took some time to organize all the material left at the crime scene. I think they are a kind of ‘vampire hunters’.”

"Vampire hunter…? Why do guys like that draw blood from people?”

This time, when Cain asked Poltuk a question as if he was curious, he adjusted his glasses and spoke mockingly.

“Even if they are vampire hunters… They are of low quality. They are trash who don’t even know how to properly distinguish between a vampire and a human. Furthermore, they attacked the victims thinking they were vampires… But that wasn’t the case.”

"It’s absurd."

She sighed and sighed deeply as Tina thought she had gotten caught up in something stupid.

"If you look at the data left behind, you must have been even more outrageous. In order to hunt a vampire, you have to drain all the blood from the vampire’s body. The empire is ruled by vampires, and they are the only ones who know the truth… This is what it means to say that fools are scary when they have beliefs.”

“Then, we can predict where they went.”

In response to Cain’s words, Poltuk adjusted his glasses once again and spoke.

“That’s it. I gathered information from a different direction than Otis. They will certainly not reflect on their mistakes and will try to create another victim. It’s about hunting another vampire.”

“There are vampires in this wilderness?”

“To be more precise, it would be better to say that there was a vampire.”

Poltuk, who says so, tells the other three about the ‘Oracle Clan’ that existed near this wilderness.

It is said that, unlike other vampires, they were a friendly clan with humans, so they fell into conflict with other vampires.

After that, no one knew their whereabouts, but-

“Vampires don’t disappear that easily. In my opinion, they are still sleeping somewhere in this wilderness, hiding their abode.”

“And the vampire hunters also came here after hearing that legend.”

Poltuk nods his head for the last time.

Then Cain nods his head as if he understands and stands up.

“For now, let’s rest for today, and tomorrow we will catch up and take them to the empire. Before they wake up the real vampires and kill them.”

“I understand, boss. Then, I will be on watch.”

When Otis smiles and says that, Hutina talks to Otis as if he is serious.

“You’ve been on watch for three days…”

“It’s okay. If it’s for the sake of you, Captain, it’s as simple as not sleeping…”

I don’t know if it’s true or a bluff, but Cain shakes her head.

“No, I will stand today. You too, take a break today. I don’t accept differences of opinion.”

When Cain, who had blocked Otis from speaking, said that, Otis shrugged his shoulders with a slightly regretful expression and walked into his tent.

"… Then, I’ll leave too. "

When Tina also disappeared, leaving Cain behind, only Cain and Paul Touk were left by her campfire.

Then, Cain quietly looked at her Pol Touk and opened her mouth.

“… During the day, I got something from Asteris.”

"Oh my… Did you get caught?"

Poltuk raised the corners of his mouth as he adjusted his glasses.

"What is it?'

“There are many rare ingredients in eastern countries. This material is called a giant’s bone fragment. I don’t know if it’s real or not, but it’s said that giants lived in the Eastern countries in the past.”

“… It’s not a dangerous item, right?”

"Not yet."

When silence falls between the two in response to such an ambiguous answer, Cain nods her head as if she understands and warns him.

“I won’t forgive anything that puts her colleagues in danger.”

“Yes, of course I keep that in mind.”

Cain sighed at Paul Tooke’s attitude, not knowing whether he was sincere or not.

When Paul Touk went back to his tent to finish his work, leaving Cain behind, only Cain was left there, accompanied by silence, darkness, and shadows.

002

The dark passage of the castle had a barrier that could completely block the sunlight coming from outside even if the caster was asleep, making the interior gloomy.

Running there are four military academy soldiers.

Cain, who was in the lead, used the demon sword Pandora to quickly destroy the golems blocking her path, but the back area was like hell.

"Those guys, what kind of artifact did they use!?"

While making such a voice, Hyutina swings her civilian sword and grabs the leg of the leading golem chasing them, rumble! But the golem collapses.

They had separated the parts that made up the body, then neatly reassembled the nearby bodies, and were pursuing them at even faster speeds with the momentum they had lost.

The next day after camping in the tent, Cain’s platoon was somehow able to enter the vampire’s castle where they arrived by borrowing the power of a magic tool called a tracking needle that automatically tracks the mission target.

However, they expected that they would be chased, so they used an ancient artifact that automatically turned all the objects left in this castle into golems, hindering the platoon’s pursuit and moving inside.

"It looks like they made a deal with the returnees."

He flies around using flight magic and attacks the golems using magic, but Poltuk’s magic doesn’t work properly, perhaps because the items in the vampire’s castle have strong magic resistance.

Otis, who was closely following Cain with dance-like steps, saw the scene that followed, took out a small bomb-like object from his pocket, and threw it at the golems.

“Everyone. I think it would be better to stick by the captain’s side and not look back.”

"What?"

"Hmm…!"

After hearing Otis’ words, Poltuk quickly used magic to teleport a short distance, but Hyutina was slightly slow to react, so she was unable to properly evacuate as an intense explosion occurred in front of her eyes.

"Ouch!"

After letting out an uncharacteristically uncouth scream, Tina felt her arm being pulled by something.

He realizes that it is a whip of black magical power that Cain extends to him, and at the same time, he sees a bomb taking down her golems.

“Thank you. Cain… Not, Otis, you bastard!”

Haha, let go of your anger!”

“Everyone, if you have time to run and talk, move your legs more! There isn’t much left until the innermost room!”

When Cain said that, the golems in the back were no longer able to chase after him, perhaps because the floor of the passage had collapsed.

And, when Cain swings Pandora once more towards the huge door that appears after the golems guarding the front disappear.

The closed door was shattered, and the scene inside was visible.

There, the figure of a man and woman lying on the ground and being scattered into ashes.

Two men were holding a boy by the neck and holding a shining stake in their hands.

“─According to my father’s name. You who spread plague throughout the world─"

"Swallow it up!! Pandora!”

The next moment, when Cain’s voice rings out loudly, a black beast in the form of a huge wolf leaps out from his sword and attacks the two men from above.

When a large impact is made, like a mace, boom! And even the ceiling and floor were breached.

The coffins in that room fell down due to the impact.

Leaving only the arm that was holding the boy, he was swallowed up by magical power and disappeared without leaving a trace.

"Haa… Haa…"

Even though Cain was wiping away the sweat running down her chin, the sprint just before was too much for her.

Soon she took a deep breath and walked closer to the boy who had escaped the men’s hands.

“Hey you. Are you okay?”

"Ugh… Ahhh!!"

As she swings her fist at Cain, who suddenly approaches her, Cain casually catches him with one hand and speaks.

“I guess it’s okay. Hey. I saved you.”

As he says that, he does not hit back at the boy, but when he releases magical pressure, the boy feels it and flinches and stiffens, stepping back.

"Father… Mother…"

“Huh? Ah… These two.”

And then he looks back at the two vampires who have already lost their lives, lying next to the boy.

"Why…! We protected humans and lived with them!”

As if indignant, boom! Bang! The boy cried and hit his head on the ground.

Cain did not stop the boy and spoke quietly.

“… Humans are basically people who easily change their attitude and abandon their beliefs depending on their circumstances. The only ones who can keep strong beliefs are those who have unwavering, unchanging ‘strength’.”

"… Power?"

When the boy raised his head in response to Cain’s words, blood was streaming down from his bruised forehead.

“Okay. If your parents had been strong, they could have saved their lives. If you were strong, you could have protected your parents. The reason I was able to save you was because I had the power.”

"…"

Cleon speaks as if to hate that helplessness, and stands up on the spot. He picks up an item that can be taken as proof that he has completed his mission – the man’s severed arm, then sighs and tries to throw it away –

The ring on that finger.

He took out the ring that had glowed when he created the golem earlier and put it in his pocket.

Of course I threw my arm away.

And when he turned and tried to walk towards his platoon, the boy grabbed him by his pants.

“Now, wait a minute.”

"What is it?"

The boy spoke without letting go of Cain, even with his trembling hands.

“… Me too. I want to be strong like you. “I want to gain strength too!”

“What do you want to do with that power? I just killed the enemy who killed your parents.”

“It’s not like that… Even if I can’t get revenge, I want to have power. If you want to do something, you can find it later. Please, give me strength too…!”

"”I want to have the power to live my life the way I want, without giving in to anyone!”

Looking at the boy who seemed to be fascinated by the same power as Cain, Cain remained quiet and then looked back at Poltuk.

"They say so. Let me help you.”

"Hoo. Are you okay?”

“If it’s a vampire, it won’t die even if I leave it to you.”

In response to Cain’s expression of trust or not, Poltuk shrugs his shoulders and approaches the boy.

Before he knew it, he was holding a dark red medicine bottle in his hand.

“You are lucky. So – what is your name?”

"Berlin…"

Poltuk then places the bottle in the boy’s hand.

“Yes, Berlin. Here is a serum created by extracting the essence of a giant. If you, a race that derives the power of blood, use it… You will definitely be able to obtain the power of a giant. It will be able to offset your weaknesses as a vampire to some extent.”

"…"

“You gain strength. For me, it’s an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and get the results of the experiment.”

Poltuk talks with a suspicious smile.

Baylin watched the bottle for a moment, then he opened the lid.

The sticky smell of blood wafts out, irritating the boy’s nose.

"Is that… Okay?"

Hutina looks anxious, but Cain looks at him without saying a word.

Cain was somewhere – looking at the boy over himself.

When his teacher and brother were killed, he felt weak and helpless, unable to do anything.

And- when the boy drinks the liquid inside the bottle.

On that day, the ‘last black stars’ gathered there.

003

“… Did you remember? Colon. I accepted the power given by the captain on the spot and obtained this body. And in order to become the strongest, I cut off countless people’s heads with this axe.”

Holding her throbbing head, Cleon took a deep breath and looked at Cleon and raised the corner of her mouth.

“Is that what it means to gain power?”

“Okay. I am grateful. It may have been too much for her to remain a vampire – this body is much stronger than that of her kin. But – even I couldn’t beat you when I was alive. The Demon Sword Emperor Cain. He was truly a noble strong man who shook off all restraints. He is the only person I truly wanted to surpass.”

He talks as if he misses those days, and now he has an ax in his hand.

With its flashing red gem, I couldn’t even guess how many people it had decapitated.

And he claws the ax into the ground and shouts out a declaration.

There is no great justification or complicated circumstances in this fight.

It is only a stubborn fight for one’s own simple purpose.

"The reason why I want to return you to the Demon Sword Emperor is not for Captain Cain’s cause or anything like that…! To set him in front of me as a ‘wall for me to become the strongest’! This is the stubbornness of ‘Berlin of Conquest’!”

Even if you know that it’s just stubbornness in dreaming a dream that can’t really come true.

He had to show how the being called ‘Berlin’ had lived up until now.

[Berlin… Please. Let’s stop being stubborn and go back with my sister. I want to go back to my old life with you…!]

A brother’s voice echoing in my head.

In the conversation she had with Cleon before he came here, she rejected and denied the current Berlin.

Angered by that, Berlin imprisoned Pamela in the ‘subspace restraint magic tool’ originally given to him under Otis’ instructions to seal Cleon and bring him back.

‘I wasn’t wrong, Pamela. I can’t let this be denied. No one. Then, who on earth was responsible for the death of my father and mother that day…!

To prove to Cleon (Cain) and to Pamela that he was not wrong.

He was trying to swing an axe.

It is a ‘symbol of power’ entrusted to Cain.
