Chapter 241 – Gaiden – Part 0, Chapter 15
The assassin, who at first cursed at me or dragged on me, added sweet snorts to his groans as time passed, and now he was limp like a broken doll. Maybe my mind is broken, but I’m in a daze, but in the meantime, seeing that my body responds properly to the stimulation I give, it seems that the door of my heart has been closed. Of course, I had no intention of saving him because of that.
After putting all of the assassin’s private parts into the recording crystal ball, I disposed of the assassin. Now, I don’t feel any objection to harming humans. In the first place, even before the play began, I asked the Goddess Luminous to castrate all the emotions that would get in the way, and since the number of people I had already killed with my own hands was by no means small, there was nothing to be sentimental about later.
Even after I dealt with the assassin, the assassination attempt on me continued. Infiltrating into the world of beauty doesn’t work, so now they openly try to break into the mansion and kill me. Of course, if you show the process of restoring all the wounds on the body by punching mana to the point of ignorance, all of them will say, “Monster, monster…!” He showed the same reaction and lost his will to fight.
As I slowly slit my throat one by one, I started to brag about my background without even asking if I had a sudden desire to live. I found out that the second son was also included. It turns out that the one who requested the assassination in the first place was that child?
He couldn’t concede to the end of his defeat in the last duel, and after the engagement was canceled, it seems that he went to the assassin with a grudge against it. Marquis of Daybreak, you should have done your child farming right. In this way, one of the sons goes astray and throws a family member into a pit of fire. Well… In the end, it’s the person who made the home education wrong, so there’s nothing you can do about it, right?
I blew the rear, so I personally cut the throats of even those who asked me to save their lives, and then I collected all the heads of those who had sacrificed so far to the assassins guild they mentioned, packed them up, and sent them a courier along with a letter. The content of the letter itself is irrelevant.
It only contained a rather light threat, saying, ‘I’m going to give it a special go because it seems like you didn’t know who the opponent was until now, but if the same thing happens one more time, I’ll kill your guild itself.’
Even after receiving this letter and the courier, if another assassin is sent… I have no choice but to go find them one by one and turn them into undead soldiers…
After finishing the warning letter to the guild in the underworld, just as I was about to take a break and rest for a while, Mars, who looked very tired, brought me a letter.
“Baron. This is an invitation from the Mage Tower.”
“Hmm? The Mage’s Tower? Is there any reason to invite me there?”
To be honest, my existence in the kingdom of Hermon right now is a perception of ‘a mad dog that will fuck you up if you touch it’. It’s not good to mess with it, and if you try to take sides and I refuse, you’re in a position where you’ll be hit by other people’s concentrated fire. But no matter how much it is a public group that does not belong to a specific kingdom, is there any reason to contact me at the Mage Tower?
“Um… First of all, I invited you, so I’ll have to visit you.”
In the end, I thought of going to the Mage Tower someday. According to the script, before going against Violence, the fourth boss role, the warriors’ party visits one of the two witches who have established a great position with their own strength despite being expelled from the Mage Tower, and receives strong support from her in return for doing her favor. Get
In the case of Smoke Witch Cigarette Tabacona, various equipment made of magical engineering.
In the case of Mistrina, the Witch of the Mist, she casts very powerful spells for those who can use magic.
However, the problem is that in the process of expanding my power, I suddenly encountered Mars, one of the fellow candidates for the hero, and took her away. It has a lot of holes to say it’s perfect, and it’s causing a lot of problems.
It was necessary to check whether the witches who were planning to come out of the Mage Tower had this kind of problem. If I leave it like ‘Ah, nothing will happen’ and then something happens to the two witches and the script gets twisted, I’m in trouble too. In case there might have been an unexpected error, in order to check it in advance, I asked Mars to visit the Mage Tower in the near future, so I asked him to prepare it.
Mars sighed as if he was worried about me, but faithfully did his job. The girl I met as her enemy is now an aide who has seen everything I and I can’t see. Human life is such that you never know how it will go.
Violence was also almost finished with the bloody purge, and it was time for me to start a tycoon simulator to manage the territory.
*
“Oh, fuck.”
Three days later, I was slamming the documents in front of me on the floor while spitting out double curses.
It’s a territory that was forcibly taken and merged through a territory war, and minor problems do not stop here and there. Declaration of war? Did this bitch just go crazy after casting Suck Seeding You Father? I’m going to rule the kingdom of Elheim right, so why are you arguing with me all of a sudden?
Of course, the territory located on the border between the kingdoms of Elheim and Hermon is the Armageddon territory that I rule, but I have no intention of attacking the kingdom of Elheim. After reclaiming the lost territory, I feel like I’m going to lose my head just by organizing and rectifying the results of the territory war. How can I afford to do such a thing? While the king of Hermon Kingdom is also struggling with the issue of strengthening the royal authority, why am I?
Of course, Violence, who was unaware of this situation at all, heard the news that my power within the kingdom of Hermon was growing to an unusually high level, and sent his knights to check me.
The fact that the news arrived this morning that the pups were found near the border of Hermon Kingdom means that they are already almost in front of our territory.
“Who the fuck said that each of us shouldn’t invade our territory…”
I wore a necklace made of fragments, the source of magical power, around my neck, put on the robe I usually wore when going out, and headed straight to the edge of the estate. I didn’t have time to ride a wagon, so I just used magic and flew away. And when I learned that there was a very high risk of freezing to death if I flew in the sky without a warming spell, I arrived at my destination.
“Chu, loyalty!”
“Uh, yes.”
At first, I was puzzled to see me, but after I landed, the soldier who recognized my identity hurriedly saluted. Well, what kind of lowly soldier would think that the top boss of their organization would come down from the sky out of nowhere?
“What is the status of the enemies currently approaching?”
“Ah, that’s it…! Movement was confirmed in the vicinity of the Twilight Forest yesterday…”
“Omit, their position now.”
“It’s about a 10-minute carriage ride from here!”
Hmm… Closer than I thought. You did well to hurry up and fly away. If I had come in a wagon, the wooden fence would have been smashed to pieces in no time.
In the distance, Violence’s Royal Knights can be seen approaching. All of them were armed with a very expensive and sturdy look, but the one who seemed to be the commander was a female knight. Usually, it would be common sense to wear a helmet in preparation for the risk of being sniped near an enemy camp, but looking at all of them proudly revealing their faces, it seems that only those who are quite confident in their skills were selected and organized.
But then what do you do? In the end, if I do it myself, it’s meaningless unless Violence himself does it.
She couldn’t have imagined that I, the lord of a territory, would step forward so quickly. But what about this Because I’m a rookie lord.
“Have you sent a warning message?”
“Yes…! But no reply.”
“Hmm, that’s right.”
If you chewed lightly despite the warning that you would attack if you came any closer, doesn’t that also mean that you have nothing to say even if you get hit by blind magic and search? In the first place, this side clearly conveyed their intention to ‘attack when approached’. The one who didn’t listen to it was over there. We already warned you?
I held the fragment in my left hand and drew out the dark magic to use in my magic. Magical power gushed out endlessly like spring water that did not dry up, and through it I developed the magic formula I saw in the mansion’s library. I didn’t know the principle, I just saw the magic book in my hand and followed it exactly, but that was enough for now.
When I finally got close enough to the fence that I could hear the shouts of the Royal Knights from here, I spoke with magic in my voice.
[Ah, I warn you. This is the estate of Baron Ragnar Armageddon. Unauthorized militants must leave immediately. If you do not back down, we will take action accordingly.]
I warned you once again. ‘If you don’t run away now, will you really fall behind?’ After the warning containing the contents was transmitted, the answer came back from the Royal Knight.
“We are Royal Knights who only obey the orders of Her Majesty Queen Violence. No one other than Her Majesty dares to command us recklessly or force us to act!”
Oh, so you’re saying you want to search? I don’t know why my friends here keep repeating the words that they want to die?
In the end, despite my warning, the Royal Knights charged towards the fence, and since this was my territory and the land of the Hermon Kingdom at the same time, the Elheim Kingdom apparently made a surprise attack without even declaring war. The royal family of Hermon won’t hold me responsible for the foreign powers that ignore and attack me even though I’ve given enough warnings, and respond accordingly on the spot.
If a foreign army has invaded at will, and you can’t praise the person who drove it out and subdued it, but if you ask for responsibility, is that a country? Similar country.
“I warned you. Take responsibility yourself.”
I sighed and fired the pre-loaded magic all at once.
Dark red flames rise from the ground cracking and become a barrier, blocking the way, and dark purple lightning strikes ferociously from the black dark clouds hanging in the sky. In front of the fierce storm, the Royal Knights were pushed back and flew away instead of moving forward despite the weight of their armor, and those who bowed were frightened by the hands of the ghouls protruding from the ground and grabbing their limbs.
One by one, it is a great magic that takes a lot of time and mana to prepare for casting, but the reason this type of magic takes a long time is because if you gather the mana needed to activate it at once, the mana circuit inside the body can be broken. Of course, there was no problem because I airlifted my magic from an external factor, this fragment. Rather, they continued to maintain their magic by using endless magical energy, and on a battlefield that was no different from a natural disaster, the Royal Knights screamed and flew and rolled around even while wearing anti-horse armor.
“Luminus, my God…”
I desperately suppressed my laughter as a soldier cried out the name of God at the sight I had caused. Normally, the use of just one of those spells would turn the battlefield upside down, but it’s hard to contain your admiration as five or six of those enchantments rip through everything at the same time, while smaller enchantments fly in and take down the Royal Knights. In the eyes of the soldiers towards me, I could feel fear welling up with longing.
An enemy with tremendous power is a nightmare, but an ally and superior at the same time is nothing more reassuring than that.
“Heh, heh…!!”
No matter how much anti-magic was applied to the armor, the Royal Knights had no casualties, even if there were injuries in the chaos. Hey, this is great as well. Doesn’t that mean that these royal knights sent by Violence are stronger than the entire power of the Duke of Grakas? As expected, quality over quantity in a fantasy world. No matter how many people there are, hundreds of ants cannot beat an elephant.
The advantage of the sheep is that it is possible only when the level is similar to that of the other party. There is as much difference as the sky and the earth, so what’s the use of being many?
In addition, the Royal Knights of Violence are not just a bit strong soldiers, but each one is at least the level of the deputy commander of another kingdom. In game terms, all the mobs on the field are elite mobs with more than three times the HP of normal mobs. Having spent fifty of these guys, I guess means they really want to play against me…
“Hmm, everyone’s lives are tougher than I thought.”
But I have no intention of killing her. Violence is the ordeal that her party of warriors have to defeat next to her, and no matter what I do with her here, the play will remain the same. And the Royal Knights are Violence’s core strength. I can’t just cause a loss here, so I stop the magic so that they don’t die, get down from the barrier and walk towards them.
A soldier shouted, ‘It’s dangerous!’, But I waved my hand as if to be relieved and approached a Royal Knight who was lying on the floor.
“What on earth was Violence thinking when she sent you guys to me?”
“Ugh…”
He who lived here, who seemed to be the commander of the Royal Knights, glared at me fiercely with one eye squinted and spat out ‘that word’.
“Kuh, kill me…!”
…Five.
Just got a little crazy Even my lower half acknowledged this. His armor is all broken, revealing his bare skin, and his hair is also scattered, glaring at me fiercely and spitting out determined words to kill him quickly.
“What’s your name?”
I held her chin in her hand, lifted her head, and met her eyes as I asked.
“…Anger. Commander of the 1st unit of the Royal Knights.”
“Anger, Angela… That’s a good name. Yes, Anger. I’ll make you an offer.”
“Proposal…?”
“As you can see, I am not something that cannot be controlled by all of you. Out of all the cards that Violence can use, the only one that is useful to me is herself, but she, who has become the ruler of the country, cannot take such a gamble. You guys. Fifty is a pretty strong force, but she won’t risk her life to save you, so I’m giving you a special chance.”
“…”
“If you accept the offer, the lives of the others can be preserved by sacrificing only you, the commander.
Actually gourd I have no intention of killing him in the first place. If I let them live without a good reason, Violence might attack me again, so I needed to come up with an appropriate justification.
“…Okay. No matter what tricks you do, I’ll be there for you. Instead… Make sure to keep your promise not to lay a hand on your subordinates…!”
“Of course. I never lie.”
Lies, that’s right.
After that, I tested my strength in all sorts of ways against their commander Ange while imprisoning the Royal Knights in the dungeon until Violence wanted the hostages back and proposed a mutual non-aggression pact.
And the fact that I was able to completely control this power was only possible because of Ange’s noble sacrifice (not). In exchange, it was not the intended result that a few screws were missing from her mind and she became a female knight who revealed a lot.
