Chapter 232 – Gaiden – Part 0, Chapter 7
I don’t know what the hell the problem was, but one thing was clear: Rey’s daughter, Leah, was completely turned. It was to the point of insanity to be felt in her appearance as she spoke words of unknown meaning and showed hostility toward her in all directions. It is impossible to do it.
Of course, before that, the priority was to get rid of that young aristocrat with a broken personality who believed in the words of such a crazy bitch and pushed an innocent person into an extreme situation. Realizing the seriousness of the situation belatedly, he begged to save his life, but it was already too late. I can see the immature young boy who tried to take what he was trying to do without knowing what he was trying to do, the vicious merchant who made a person into debt in an instant just because a nobleman with no blood in his head ordered it, and the light years that ruined his mother out of his mind. Dragged to the central plaza.
In the same plaza where, just a few hours ago, Ray had been wearing a knife (a wooden neck restraint tool made of wood, not blade) and had been defiled by the men who were his neighbors, I had refrained from the Merchant of the Gold Bug Merchant and the Countess Lesh. After kneeling, he selected three of the undead soldiers and made them stand behind them with their longswords drawn.
The eyes of the city residents, who came to this city a few hours ago and instantly slaughtered more than half of the men in the city, should have been mixed with anger, but most of them were terrified. I forced the three of them to raise their heads for everyone to see, and shouted as if everyone could hear.
“Your city has been lost in the Battle of the Territory, and has become the property of the Armageddon family! And I, Ragnar Armageddon, will punish these three criminals who betrayed their duty as humans in the process, and will not lay a hand on the other innocent inhabitants. I promise you on the spot!”
One way or another, in the end, people hate to harm themselves. Fear of a person with a knife is because of the danger that the knife may be pointed at oneself. However, if the sword is not directed at oneself, but rather at one’s enemies, there is no reason to fear the one who carries it.
The city is owned by Baron Benek, but in the end it is the residents who make up most of the city. And all the residents want is just a little happiness and peace. If I grant that small wish, they have no reason to be hostile to me.
“Lea, the daughter of the victim Ray. She became mad for some reason, and spread false rumors and committed immorality by putting her mother in pain. He ruined her life in order to use his neighbor’s innocent woman as his own limbs, and finally, Latar, a merchant of the Gold Bug Merchant, joined in a plan to ruin a woman’s life for his own benefit. In my seat, I execute the punishment of these three criminals.”
At first, the residents gave a look of fear and astonishment at my appearance, which was poised to blow the heads of three people at any moment. In their minds, it was the moment when the person named I suddenly changed from a sinister man who led an undead army into the city and mercilessly slaughtered his neighbors, to a lion who came from the underworld to punish the sinners who had committed terrible crimes without knowing the fear of the sky.
An aristocrat who was blinded by power and did what a human being shouldn’t do, a rich man who took part in evil in order to covet wealth, and an immoral man who abandoned his parents.
“S-I hate it! Help me! Help me! Anyone is fine, please stop that crazy guy…!”
Squeak.
The first to be decapitated was the stupid aristocrat who, even to this moment, believed he had a chance of surviving. The head of an idiot who lived with the absurd belief that the whole world revolves around him, doing wrong to others casually, and believing that he would never have to do such a thing to someone, his neck is separated from his body and red blood flows from the fountain. Soared like
“…Lastly, would it be all right if I left a will?”
Fortunately, the shrewd merchant realized that he could not escape death, and asked me with her resigned face.
“I allow it.”
And the words that came out of the merchant’s mouth were completely unexpected to me.
“Then… Stop by the Golden Bug Bank and take care of my legacy.”
“Are you going to hand over your property to me? Why?”
For some reason, he had expected that he would pour a curse on me, and for some reason he left me with the words that he would hand over the wealth he had accumulated. When asked why, he replied, pouring out the subtle anger and hatred that had been lurking in his calm face towards someone who was not here.
“The only thing I knew how to do was to know how to count, and I didn’t even know what I wanted to do, I just believed in the saying that if I had a lot of money, I would be happy, and I’ve been accumulating wealth like this. However, the result is this. Covetousness, being beheaded in front of everyone’s eyes. What’s the use of all the gold coins I’ve been hoarding? I ran all the way here without getting married to cut my spending and build a fortune, but now that money is useless to me. Ji-yo…”
“…”
“Now, right before death, I know what I really wanted. The Gold Bug Merchant Merchant is a place where anything is done for money. And I, I don’t normally like it. So even if I die, someone will be crazy about that money. I thought I wanted the authors to know that money is not everything in the world.”
“So, are you asking me to use the money you’ve collected to kill the others at the top?”
“As for the last will, isn’t there really nothing special? To be honest, I’m not the only one who only revealed money, so it’s a bit unfair that I’m the only one who suffers like this.”
“…If there are people from the Gold Bug guild in the territory I’m going to invade, I’ll rob them, but I have no intention of going to them and plundering them. I just want to regain the lost territory through territory warfare.”
Then the merchant giggled at him and slowly closed his eyes.
“It doesn’t matter. War always requires a lot of money, and money-mad demons can’t help but go to places that smell like money.”
“Okay, then… Bye bye.”
The merchant, who had only accumulated wealth all his life, accepted death calmly after casting a curse on his people, and I let him go without suffering. And lastly… Only the idiot left.
“Fake… Fake ah… Hee hee…”
“…Why did this bug happen, it’s a headache.”
The main culprit who ruined the script before the stage even started in earnest, this crazy bitch can never be saved. Even if Ray doesn’t want her dead.
It’s already been a year since I screwed up the script once. And looking at my current state of mind, it is 100% certain that if I leave it like this, it will happen again. My role is to play her villain on the stage of her world, but at the same time, in order to do it successfully, I have to fix any minor bugs that she misses.
“You, you, and you… They’re all fake. They’re fake…”
At this point, I don’t even need to hear any advice. Because I haven’t been saying anything other than that since before.
I gave a signal with a sigh, and the white-bone soldier with rotten flesh attached to it raised the longsword in his right hand. And at the same time as the soldier lowered his sword, Ray’s daughter raised her head and met her eyes. Cloudy eyes full of distrust and anxiety, losing reason. Right before her throat was blown off, the firearm returned, albeit momentarily, to her eyes.
“Ah…”
However, it was too late. The result of the immortal soldier’s sword cutting her throat could not be changed. Like she couldn’t undo what she had thrown her own mother’s life into her gutter.
Tok, tok and tok…
The eyes, which regained vitality in the face of death, lose their vitality again.
“After…”
It’s not the first murder in this world, and I don’t feel repulsive about killing people by castrating fear and guilt, but this time I didn’t feel very good either. Ordering the removal of the three headless corpses, I walked through the villagers frozen in the scene of brutal executions and walked back to the lord’s mansion with Mars and Ray.
*
The manor of Baron Benek, the lord of the city, was not far from the square, and through the window Mars could clearly witness the tragedy in the square. However, she could not refute the action of Baron Armageddon. In this city, she has no strong people to fight against, who oppress her weak. It was just the weak biting each other, biting the weaker one.
Mars turned her head to look at the woman on her bed covered in a thick blanket. She kept crying, screaming, scratching herself and hurting herself. Finally, she finally calmed down as if her stamina was exhausted. However, she was just tired and didn’t allow anyone to approach her, as if her mind wasn’t stable yet. Just looking at her man, it took a lot of stamina to calm her down from crying while making her fight, and at least Mars was a woman like her, so he had to be in her room, but even then, she couldn’t come closer than a certain distance. Did not allow
The slightest approach of her would cause her to give out another hysterical scream, bursting into her weeping and scarring her own body.
The sight disturbed her heart in Mars. Although it was not that she could have prevented the tragedy, since what happened to Rey happened long before Mars came, Mars felt that her nightmares that Rey had been through were her own fault.
‘What is the guardian of the weak? Right there, there’s someone I couldn’t protect…’
It was for this reason that Mars did not object to the public execution of Baron Armageddon. This time, it wasn’t something that Mars could do alone. Or rather, if it weren’t for Baron Armageddon, he wouldn’t have even finished the tragedy Rey was going through. He knew he had no right to accuse him, so Mars had no choice but to remain silent.
“Mars, are you here?”
“Oh, wait. If you come in now…”
Suddenly, the door opened and the person she had been thinking of entered her room. But the timing was bad. Ray is traumatized by what he experienced in the plaza, and is in a state where he has seizures just by being in the same space as a man. I finally calmed down, but when a man suddenly comes in without warning, I’m sure…
“I’m sorry…!”
Ray recoiled at the man’s appearance, but luckily he didn’t have a seizure again. Perhaps it was because he was intimidated by the thick scent of blood and the ominous sense of intimidation that emanated from him. Mars hurriedly followed Baron Armageddon out of the room before Rey panicked again.
“Her condition … Looks like she’s not doing too well.”
“Yes. It seems that what happened before we came left a lot of trauma, so when I see a man, he has a seizure, and even I, the same woman, won’t come near me. The condition is very serious.”
“Hmm…”
“I, Baron Armageddon. I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“Although she’s dealt with her ringleader, she’s been through too much to adjust to life in this city again. She needs help, and there’s no one here to help her, so…”
“If she’s going to say she’ll stay in the city until she gets her stability back, she’ll say no.”
Mars shut her mouth. Because it was the answer she had already expected.
“The invasion I am conducting is being carried out under the rule of territory warfare. And now that the information on my troops is not well known, I have to occupy as many territories as possible. It is only possible because information about me is not well known, and they take me lightly. Does not exist.”
By quickly capturing the territory and controlling the information before the information spreads, the successive territory battles of Rag and Armageddon have not had any major problems so far. However, if Ray stays in this city until he finds stability as Mars requested, the enemies Baron Armageddon is concerned about will soon realize that the territory he has landed is different from before, giving him time to prepare for the territory battle.
Undoubtedly, the Immortal Army, which rises again without dying even when stabbed by swords and spears, is a very terrifying force, but there is a limit to the maximum distance that Rag or Armageddon can command them. The reason why the territory occupied so far was not attacked and taken away again was because information about him had not spread much, and doing Mars’ favor was tantamount to having to give up his few advantages in the battle for this territory. .
“Then what we’re taking…”
“If she wants it, she won’t.”
Mars sighed.
The men who were blinded by lust for Ray’s body died overnight. However, they were also someone’s brothers and children, and even if they did something wrong, the anger of those who lost a family member does not disappear. However, they cannot show their anger towards Baron Armageddon, who has a force that does not dare to oppose them, and when Baron Armageddon leaves the city, their anger will naturally be directed towards the cause of the loss of their family.
The reason they had to die, to Ray, the victim of their crimes.
It is obviously irrational and incorrect. However, the original world does not work only rationally, and humans are creatures swayed by emotions. Even if I know that it is wrong, I am a pitiful existence who can not control my emotions and often commits mistakes.
After her nightmare, she left her city with only those who hated her. It was tantamount to driving her to her death, and Mars desperately appealed to Baron Ragnar Armageddon for that fact. She believed that Ragnar Baron Armageddon, though evil, was not evil to the core.
“Hmm…Yes.”
As if her appeal had reached his heart, Baron Armageddon agreed that leaving Rey alone in this dead-end city was not an appropriate response.
“Then I’ll ask you directly.”
“Yes? But now, when she sees a man…”
“It’s okay. I have thoughts.”
*
Put magic into your voice. In particular, the spirit of the immortal dragon’s infinite dark magic, even if she is a warrior chosen by the goddess Luminous, she can never ignore its contents. That’s my role, ‘Whispers of Corruption’, one of the gimmicks that Baron Armageddon has.
[Are you going to give up everything like this?]
I walked through a door and spoke to Ray with a ‘whisper of corruption’.
[You are just a victim. You are not guilty So wake up.]
Anger, sadness, pain, fear, etc… The moment I let go of my mind for a moment, a whirlwind of emotions that were so intense that I lost consciousness came back to me. But undeterred, I continued talking to her.
[Is that really what you want? Close your eyes, cover your ears, shut your mouth, just spend the years shedding endless tears?]
It was unexpected to make Ray, one of the fellow candidates for the hero, my subordinate.
[Think again. You did nothing wrong Just an unfortunate victim. But why should you give up?]
However, it is impossible to let one of the fellow candidates of the hero die like this.
[Do not close your eyes. Don’t cover your ears open your mouth and speak Say what you really want.]
Rather than leave her to die, she would rather live as her subordinate under my command. I thought it was reasonable, and Mars, the protector of the weak, didn’t want her dead either. The two people agreed, so now only the opinions of the parties remain.
[Then, ask again.]
I posed her question to her.
[What do you want?]
