Chapter 362 – Engagement Ceremony
Sloth became a cold corpse with his upper and lower body separated.
Even with empty words, it was by no means a comfortable end. His expression was very peaceful as he closed his eyes and fell into eternal sleep.
A face filled with relief, as if there were no more regrets in this world.
There is no telling how long he spent underground. If he was sealed during the Inma War, at least hundreds of years would have passed.
And yet, in his brief decisive battle with Wolfgang, did he achieve something that far exceeds the value of the time he lost?
Clearly, the winner of this fight is Wolfgang, who stands tall with both legs on the ground.
It was Sloth who was defeated and met a miserable end.
In fact, the winner, Wolfgang, did not look very refreshed.
“… “What is so satisfying?”
Wolfgang muttered, looking blankly at Sloth’s corpse.
Perhaps it was because a problem that had been bothering him for some time came to mind once again.
Fenrir.
It is the name of the monster sleeping in the deepest abyss of his mind.
An entity that is revered even by demons who are like the apostles of Eclipse.
Of course, Wolfgang knows full well that he is not an ordinary human being.
Wolfgang believed that his martial arts qualities were due to having a transcendent teacher rather than to his own outstanding talent.
I was well aware of the fact that my innate physical conditions, including abnormal strength, vitality, and limitless mana, were far beyond the realm of ordinary people.
Although I don’t know what kind of birth secret exists.
It is probably the result of the madness of Adolf, the head of the Count Schwarz family, who did not hesitate to engage in various unethical human experiments and arranged marriages bordering on predatory marriage in order to revive the family and produce children with the best qualities.
Now we have reached a point where there is no rival even on the entire continent.
As the focal point of the princess’s faction, Wolfgang also had great influence in the empire.
Now, there isn’t much information he doesn’t know.
The reason why Wolfgang knows the above-mentioned family secrets in detail is because he had already heard about all the corruption and corruption through Hasenne for a long time.
But despite this, something still remains unknown to him.
It was Fenrir who was sleeping inside him at this very moment.
If a being is revered by the demons, its origins must be in the demons.
Why on earth did the heavenly god and the saint not show any objection to him?
Why on earth is such a transcendent being sleeping in his thoughts?
The reason was still unknown.
However, ironically, the people who held that clue were not our allies but our enemies.
“… Ramiel, we need to interrogate that woman.”
There was nothing he could do about Sloth, who had already been killed, but Wolfgang thought that he should definitely visit Ramiel at least once later.
In fact, Wolfgang was already in a position where the secret of his birth had nothing to do with it.
Nevertheless, is it human instinct to want to find one’s roots?
Wolfgang thought.
Even if one’s own identity is not a pure human being.
As long as he has a human mindset and identity, he will always be a human being, not a monster.
“Mission completed.”
After compiling his thoughts, Wolfgang raised his head and looked at the sky.
—Jjaeng… !
The thick fog that covered the entire camp cleared and the sunlight revealed itself was warm.
Now that the source of the evil energy that creates ominousness and discomfort has disappeared, the surrounding environment is quickly returning to its original form.
A smile appeared on Wolfgang’s lips as the bright sunlight tickled his skin.
“The weather is nice.”
Limbus Special Camp was originally located on a plain that received particularly good sunlight.
The spring sunlight seemed to heal the wounded earth.
Considering that the original purpose of this place is not a prison to punish criminals, but rather an educational facility to guide wandering young people.
The location selection here is truly excellent.
“Wow… !”
“Did they all suddenly collapse?!”
Meanwhile, the twins, who were struggling against the resurrected mutants, were visibly upset when their enemies suddenly started falling down.
The mutants, who had become more ferocious and powerful by receiving demonic energy, were by no means an easy opponent for the two who possessed outstanding qualities.
Just as I was starting to feel like I was losing my strength, the fight suddenly ended.
There is only one reason why this could happen.
The twins nodded while making eye contact with each other.
‘The weather suddenly got better, Rumi. Then… ‘
‘Teacher, you have definitely accomplished something!’
The twins’ brilliant brains immediately drew a conclusion.
Soon, both their heads turned in one direction at the same time.
“Teacher!”
“You defeated that big demon! “After all, you are a teacher!”
The twins run towards Wolfgang, who is awkwardly waving his hand in place.
The mission to investigate the Limbus special camp ended successfully.
* * *
Just in the last few days.
The atmosphere in the system became hotter than ever.
Of course, it may also be because winter has completely passed and spring has arrived.
“Did you hear that story?”
“Ah, you mean that tragic news… Haha… ! The flower of the empire… “
“What. It’s sad, but he’s an excellent groom. “Isn’t that so?”
More than just that.
Regardless of whether they are nobles or commoners, whenever two or more people gather, everyone gets excited and talks about the same thing.
“This is the engagement ceremony of the greatest playboy in the history of the empire. Under! I’m really jealous. A princess, a saint, and even a beautiful knight commander. “Did you at least save the empire in your past life?”
“I don’t know about your past life, but isn’t it true that you saved the empire in this life? “They say the special forces commander is a former war hero.”
“Shit. When you say that, I don’t really have anything to say. Well, it’s better than being snatched away by a clumsy top. It is an engagement between the strongest man and the most beautiful woman. “It’s a picturesque combination.”
It is the slope of slopes.
This is because the engagement ceremony schedule for the imperial princess, Alicia, has been announced to the public.
“Oh my… “It seems the princess has a taste for men who are more wild than expected.”
“Madame Bobard, didn’t you know? “The more gentle and calm a woman is, the more likely she is to have a strong and reliable man who can control her.”
“Anyway, I knew that you two had been dating for quite some time, but… Still, you’re engaged. “It seems like the relationship was more serious than I thought.”
“Hmm, if it wasn’t a serious relationship, what were you thinking?”
“Playing with fire? Why, aren’t there countless stories like that? “This is a story about a young, innocent lady and a good-looking knight who meet each other and have several secret relationships.”
“Oh my goodness… ! “If I say any more than that, I might get arrested for insulting the royal family.”
Numerous men admit it while shedding tears, and countless women talk with great enthusiasm as if it were their own engagement ceremony.
Of course, the fashion of the system is greatly influenced by the imperial family.
Recently, a sudden cold wind was blowing due to the competition between the three noble direct royal family members for succession, and everyone was busy keeping an eye on what was going on.
Just as the spring breeze blows, everyone naturally gets excited when they hear happy news after a long time.
Not only in institutions but everywhere else.
People with normal sensibilities tend to prefer listening to fun and interesting stories rather than depressing and heavy topics.
In that sense, Princess Alicia’s engagement ceremony.
It is an event that can be interpreted as a political joker card, perfect for calming public sentiment and bringing a new wind to the empire.
However, not everyone was happy.
—Wither…
“Hehe, you have a lot of time anyway. Ten years, no… I can wait even a hundred years. “He has no choice but to come to me anyway.”
The General’s official residence is located next to the Imperial Unified Headquarters.
As if to prove that its owner was an ancient high elf, it was famous for always boasting splendid and green landscaping regardless of whether it rains or snows.
“Shh… Quietly.”
“I don’t know why, but you must never offend the old general. If possible, don’t even make a breathing sound.”
There were countless rumors going around about how the leaves of the plants that covered the official residence had withered for the first time in hundreds of years.
—Kugugoong!
“Emergency, Bisaaaaang! The volcano is erupting! Damn it, where is the Magic Tower Lord!”
“There was still a long time left until the next eruption. What on earth happened…!”
At the Red Magic Tower, located in a dormant volcanic area near the islands.
The unexpected volcanic eruption was causing quite a stir.
“Hey, engaged… ? Really… ?”
