## Chapter 632 – I Won’t Forgive You
“But, Lady!!!”
“Speak!!!”
“This duel… what happens if I win?! Can we strike a blow against those crazy, rude Hilein Baron bastards!!!!?”
“If you win the duel, we’ll use it as justification to put pressure on their businesses!”
As long as we can strike a blow, that’s enough. Realistically, I wouldn’t be able to directly harm a noble family like the Hilein Barons anyway.
“Of course, if you lose, the opposite happens! We’ll have to defend Isvant’s assets from the Baron’s political attacks, backed by numerous notaries!!!”
Obviously, there’s no way I’m going to lose.
“Well, don’t worry about that!!!! That level of pressure won’t even make us flinch!!! But the Baron’s side will definitely try to kill you, Barbarian Warrior!!!! That’s why there’s no defeat!!! Because this is a duel to the death!!!”
“Heh, hehehe… hehehehe!!! How delightful!!!!”
They’re going to kill me!
Who can kill Cheonma Kim Kat?!!!
The fighting spirit that had been building up inside me now felt like it was erupting, churning my brain. No matter who the opponent is, if they try to kill me, I’ll just kill them faster!
Claudie wants it!!!!!!
“You’re most welcome!! You’re worthy opponents!!!!!”
“Ooh…! You’re already filled with the desire to kill your opponent!!!! Truly magnificent bloodlust!!!! That’s what will lead you, Barbarian Warrior, to victory!!!”
The Lady’s eyes were filled with emotion as she grabbed my hands and shouted.
“I promise to protect you from all the problems that arise after the duel!!! So kill them!!! No mercy allowed!!! Kill those scoundrels who insulted you as a warrior!!!!!!”
And so, I received the Lady of Isvant’s blessing, though it didn’t quite feel like one.
I can’t deny that the Lady is using me politically to some extent, but she’s my comrade, business partner, and someone who’s taken my side.
Of course, I have to fight for her sake too.
“I will definitely dedicate victory to you!!!!!”
“Think about the Deathworm sale proceeds first!!! If you die, I’ll hand them over to your wife, but wouldn’t it be better for you to spend the money while you’re alive!!!”
“Of course!!!!”
After a vigorous bow, the Lady left, and I meditated to focus my concentration.
ㅡMind like still water.
From the depths of my mind, I saw Bugeal, Mersin, and Bulverza. Beings living in harmony with Fusion Confucianism, friends whose souls are mortgaged to me…!
They can never be freed from me!
They must exist as my companions forever!!!
ㅡClack.
ㅡClack.
ㅡClack.
They all had solemn faces as they gave me a military salute. Seeing that almost brought tears to my eyes.
“Bugeal… I abandoned you, but you’re cheering me on like that…?”
ㅡFriend. Such things are of no importance.
When I spoke to him in my mind, Bugeal replied in a gentle voice.
ㅡEven if you use a different sword, we who have already become one cannot be separated.
ㅡWe have always fought together since that day.
ㅡWhether the enemy is weak or strong.
ㅡIt remains in the deepest part of our hearts as a form of friendship.
ㅡSo.
ㅡWin.
ㅡBe victorious.
ㅡAnd repay the insult.
ㅡMy friend, Kim Kat.
“Sniff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I was overwhelmed with emotion as Bugeal’s sincere support reached me.
Yes, I never abandoned the sword of mercy. I just borrowed Karin’s sword to win. Bugeal is already living inside me, so that doesn’t matter at all.
“Sub-Priest Kat! It’s time! Please come out!”
“Ah, yes.”
Soon, a staff member called me.
Awakening from my meditation, I got up and moved to the arena. I was so eager to be covered in blood that I felt like I was going crazy.
“Baron Salverin…!”
I don’t even know his face, but I’ll cut him into pieces today.
His life ends here. That’s what it means to mess with Cheonma Kim Kat. No one can escape the Kim Kat Sashimi Restaurant.
ㅡClack.
When I came out into the arena, it was noisy all around.
The duel wasn’t open to the general public, but people who had participated as notaries and their associates were filling the seats here and there. When I looked around roughly, I saw the Brass Celestial Angel Society had taken their seats and were putting up banners over there.
ㅡWaving!
Captain Bakarel, who made eye contact with me, waved his hand. Saintess Kadia was next to him. I smiled and waved back at them, then looked for my wives.
ㅡ…!
They were already sitting side by side in the premium seats, waving and shouting at me. Claudie, in particular, was jumping up and down with joy. But it was far away and noisy, so I couldn’t hear them.
Anyway, I saw them this morning, but seeing my women again made my heart flutter.
“From now on!!!!!!!!!!!! The true duel for the lives and honor of our Barbarian Warrior Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the champion of the Hilein Barony!!!!!!! Baron Salverin will begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
ㅡWaaaaaa!!
ㅡWaaaaaa!!
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap!!!
ㅡClap clap clap clap clap!!!
As the familiar announcer shouted my name, the audience cheered and applauded. Most of them seemed to be nobles, but their reaction wasn’t much different from that of the general audience.
ㅡThud thud.
At the same time, the iron bars at the opposite entrance rose, and a knight clad in shining silver armor walked out.
I couldn’t see his face properly yet.
“The Hilein Barony’s butler and commander of the guard!!! His name is!!!!!! Baron Salverin Cordilius!!!!!!!!!!!”
The announcer, who introduced Baron Salverin with great enthusiasm, shouted with emotion as he listed the praises of the Hilein Barony and the names and families of its notaries.
Before a duel, it was a very important procedure to explain who was fighting, and who had come as a notary.
That was even more important if they were nobles, and if the scale of the duel was large.
“And the sub-priest of the Brass Celestial Angel Society, and the Barbarian Warrior favored by the Lady of Isvant!!!!!!!!!!! He’s famous here in Isvant!!!! The savage name of that barbarian is KimㅡKatㅡ!!!!!!”
ㅡWaaaaaa!!!
When my name was called, a very loud cheer erupted from the Church side.
The announcer briefly mentioned my gladiator career, then praised the Lord of Isvant at length, and loudly advertised the identities and families of the notaries.
“This duel is being held!!!!!!! Under the pretext of washing away the insult that the Hilein Barony received from the Barbarian Warrior Kat!!!!!!!!!!!!”
And then he explains the reason why this duel came about.
First, he states the position of the Hilein Barony, which requested the duel, and then he states the position of me and Isvant, who accepted the duel.
Of course, the contents were contradictory.
The Hilein Barony was insisting that they had been insulted to the end, and Isvant was dismissing it as nonsense.
“Now that the positions of the two forces are so different!!!! The truth will be decided by the duel!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Of course, it will.
“…”
The arena was no different from when I used to work as a gladiator in charge of the opening.
The floor, soaked with the blood and bone fragments of gladiators and monsters, was made of sand, and the edges of the arena were filled with gravel.
And in front of me, Baron Salverin, who would be my opponent, was standing.
ㅡBaron Salverin Cordilius.
“That bastard.”
Just by looking at him, he was a seasoned warrior who had risen to his position through murder.
The aura he exuded was that of a serial killer. Those kinds of guys have no qualms about killing at all.
If necessary, he’s a ruthless killer and cannibal who can dismember his own children, friends, relatives, and even his parents or grandparents without emotion, and boil them into a delicious stew.
His equipment was very good and high-quality, befitting a capable killer, and the sword he was holding seemed quite good, having absorbed the blood of innocent people.
Seeing the jewels embedded in it… it’s a magic sword.
“Now then!!!! Before the start of the duel!!! In order to have a fair and honorable duel, please talk to the warriors on the other side!!!!!!!!! So that no one has anything to be ashamed of!!! You are swearing to fight fairly!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The announcer shouted like the Lady of Isvant.
A conversation before the fight.
Good.
“Hehehe, mister. What kind of wealth and glory are you trying to gain by coming out to duel? Why don’t you just stay home and take care of your kids? I think those Hilein siblings need some education, why don’t you do that?”
“…”
I tried to strike up a friendly conversation with a smile, but he didn’t react much.
He’s a middle-aged man who looks to be in his 40s.
Judging by the fact that he can wield sword energy, his actual age must be older than that, and even though his body may be aging, it must have been honed with that much experience and senses.
He’s strong.
He’ll be a dangerous opponent.
“You really have nothing better to do, huh? You guys started this whole mess and now you want a duel. Why do nobles live like that? If someone does something wrong, they should bow their heads and apologize, but you guys are so shameless, you bastards. If it were me, I’d be so embarrassed that I’d kill myself. Is it so hard to understand that this all happened because you guys insulted me first? Are you brain dead?”
But I don’t think I’m going to lose.
“Hey, answer me, you fucking bitch. Are you working under those shitty bastards that you can’t even open your mouth? Then you don’t have to talk!!! You can just shut your mouth after you insult someone and get a little bit of payback!!!”
As I provoked him to the end, he slowly opened his mouth in silence.
“Whether we insulted you… or not… that is of no importance at all. It’s not even a matter to consider. The only thing that matters is. That we. Our Hilein Barony. Felt insulted by some unheard-of, lowly barbarian bastard.”
“Wow.”
Baron Salverin’s tone was as cold and serious as he looked. His voice was heavier than I expected, and it was the voice of a terrible killer.
I can tell just by his voice.
This guy is an absolute evil that must be killed. He may not be a heretic, but his roots are no different from a demon.
I can’t tolerate the existence of such a being…! I felt like my clenched teeth would break with anger. Fusion Confucianism can never tolerate such a killer…!
Even now, I’m politely asking him to apologize, but he’s trying to pass the buck.
“Hehehe, so you’re going to make this mess? Aren’t you ashamed?”
“…If it’s for the honor of the Barony. It’s something we must do.”
“No, I’m saying you guys are idiots, what honor are you talking about.”
“That’s not a matter to consider either.”
This guy is so frustrating.
“You fucking idiot, you can’t understand me when I talk to you. If you’re going to act like a child, go whine in your mom’s skirt, don’t force me. You’re such a nuisance, you bastard. What the hell did you learn from your mom at your age?”
“…”
This guy is shutting his mouth again.
“Why? Is it because your mom is selling her body at a brothel and doesn’t have time to listen to your whining? Then go pay her and fuck her, you fucking son of a bitch!!! It’s great to have sex with your mom!!!!! If she’s already dead, dig up her grave and tear open her coffin and shove it into her rotten pelvic bones!!!!!!!!!!”
As I spat out those words.
ㅡTremble tremble…!
Baron Salverin’s shoulders trembled.
“You scoundrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
He roared with anger, his face completely red.
“I’ll scold you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Even this kind of bastard gets pissed off when you insult his mom!!!!!
“The match begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The announcer’s voice erased our curses. The duel to determine black and white and victory or defeat had begun, and I drew my sword and roared.
“I won’t forgive a son of a bitch who killed his mom!!!!!!!!!!”
