Chapter 1610 – 1610. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
Clang!
The black figure wielding the aura blade failed to cleanly slice through the barrier. Though the barrier cracked, it wasn’t a direct cut, rendering it meaningless.
“This isn’t your place.”
Calibird gestured.
A gust of hot wind pushed me back. Glancing down, I saw a bubbling pool of lava. Falling in would be the end. Even if I used Full Recovery, I’d just recover inside the lava and die again immediately.
Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流), Thunder罡 Blade (雷罡刃).
Lightning mixed with the aura blade. Crackle! The blade pierced the barrier and stuck. It was a sight of a blade embedded in the barrier.
Calibird, flustered, ignited flames. I gritted my teeth and endured the swirling flames. Thanks to Stormbreaker, I could withstand it. Without Stormbreaker, my entire body would have already been ablaze.
“You, you bastard! Fall!”
“Do you think I’d fall if I were you!”
“Then so be it! Let’s fall together!”
Calibird fell downwards. If this madman wasn’t planning to die with me, there must be something hidden.
‘Should I fall with him? What’s the chance this is just a bluff?’
This space was created by him. It was his world. There was a possibility that the lava wouldn’t affect him at all.
‘It’s best not to take a disadvantageous gamble.’
I pulled the blade out of the falling figure’s barrier. Concentrating, I created a foothold with mana and stood firm.
Splash!
Calibird fell into the lava without stopping.
And then, he floated up on the lava as if nothing had happened. Far from melting away, he didn’t even have a burn. As expected, he was fine even in the lava.
“The end has come, and you cannot escape it!”
Fireballs fell from the dark sky. They weren’t meteors. They were literally fireballs.
Boom! Bang! Bang!
The fireballs exploded as soon as they hit the ground. I glared at the sky, moving my body to dodge the falling fireballs.
Suddenly, the space shook. The lava surged, and the air vibrated.
KABOOOM!
With a massive explosion, the volcano erupted.
Magma spewed from the volcano like a torrential downpour.
I squeezed out mana and activated my protective aura.
“Hahahaha! Count Prucus! Do you now understand the difference in our levels?!”
“It’s not over yet!”
“It is over! Haven’t you noticed? My great avatar!”
Calibird stretched both hands towards the sky as if praising something. I frowned and looked up.
Beyond the dark sky, a huge entity was looking down at me.
It was a mountain.
A giant shaped like a massive, blazing volcano.
“Haha! That is me! That is my avatar! That is my true form! Revere and worship me!”
“Revere? There’s nothing to revere in that thing that’s just a huge body!”
“Hmph… Are you so foolish that you cannot feel it? What a waste of power, Count Prucus! Die and learn to revere me!”
The giant’s arm moved. Its massive hand was coming down to crush me.
[Using Flash (刹那). Remaining stacks: 1]
Using Flash, I hesitated. Should I dodge first, or go down and attack Calibird?
‘Can I even dodge the giant’s palm with Flash? That thing is way too big.’
I can’t dodge it.
Having decided that, I fell downwards.
“Did you choose to fall into hell? Welcome, Count!”
Calibird grinned, his mouth splitting wide.
[Using Flash (刹那). Remaining stacks: 0]
Right before completely falling, I used Flash and the Void Step to adjust my direction.
I landed on top of Calibird’s head, on the barrier. Holding the Fire Lotus Blade with both hands, I thrust it downwards. The lightning blade pierced through the barrier and went inside. However, the force pushing from within was extraordinary. The blade tip couldn’t reach Calibird.
“Hehe. Three centimeters is a shame.”
Calibird snapped his fingers. The giant palm that was falling from the sky stopped abruptly in mid-air. Instead, lava surged up and enveloped Calibird at the same time. Calibird was fine even in the lava, but I felt my entire body burning in real-time.
The only reason I wasn’t dying immediately was thanks to Stormbreaker.
‘Hold on, Stormbreaker!’
Stormbreaker, which could withstand aura blades several times, began to withstand the lava as well. However, it couldn’t last long. The armor was already melting and becoming sticky.
“Keeeeeeeee!”
The molten steel of the melted Stormbreaker flowed down my skin. I converted all the pain I felt into anger and put more force into the Fire Lotus Blade. The Fire Lotus Blade moved little by little, entering the barrier.
Calibird panicked.
“How are you enduring this temperature? You monster!!”
Calibird was in shock. Before he could do anything, the tip of the Fire Lotus Blade slightly pierced his forehead.
“Lightning!!!”
Red lightning flowed through the blade and into Calibird’s body. The lightning rampaged through his body, destroying everything. Calibird’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed.
Even so, the lava was still trying to melt me. I couldn’t endure it any longer either.
‘Damn it, if I die like this, I won’t be able to hold out even with Full Recovery because of the lava… Should I go back to reality and find another way?’
Clink, clink, clink.
I heard the sound of chains rattling.
‘Yuria!’
Immediately after, I felt this world shattering.
I was back on the battlefield with Calibird. I was lying on the ground. I tried to get up, looking at the blue sky, but I couldn’t muster any strength in my body. I didn’t have the strength to even move a finger. I only managed to roll my eyes slightly and check my arm, and it was half-melted and gone.
‘It’s not just my arm.’
I couldn’t feel any pain. This meant it was already hopeless.
[Death Resistance has activated. You will not die for the next 15 seconds.]
[Using Full Recovery.]
I jumped up from my spot.
My body was recovered, but most of Stormbreaker was melted. Judging by its miserable state, it seemed like it would need quite a long self-repair time this time.
“You overdid it.”
Yuria approached me. She was without a single scratch.
“I had no choice. If you hadn’t helped, I might have really died.”
“If you had just bought me time… I would have taken care of it.”
“I was doing fine.”
I looked around.
The war was in its final stages. The soldiers of the Magic Alliance, realizing the annihilation of the Archmages, were either fleeing or throwing down their weapons and surrendering.
“Chase down and kill all the fleeing ones. Execute all the surrendering ones at the execution grounds. What about Princess Eileen?”
“She was rescued safely. She is currently confined in a room in the mansion.”
“What about the Archmages?”
“All but one are dead. I killed four, and you killed two, Master.”
“Two? Not three?”
“Calibird is still alive.”
I turned my head sharply towards Calibird. I approached the figure lying on the ground. The jewels embedded in his body were faintly glowing. He was breathing faintly.
“He must be in terrible shape after being fried by lightning?”
“The magic device is keeping him alive. At the same time, the magic device is stealing his lifespan. Even if he receives treatment, he won’t live long.”
“He’s an old man who’s already lived enough, so I won’t feel bad.”
Perhaps it was a good thing.
I could extract information about Leosio and Kyle from Calibird.
“Not bad.”
“Then I will take this one and extract information.”
Yuria’s shadow writhed. Shadow blades rose and cut off Calibird’s limbs. Then, shadow chains wrapped around Calibird’s body.
“Shadow chains. You use them often. Do you like them?”
“Yes. They are very convenient to use in many ways.”
I’m glad she liked them.
I sheathed my sword and walked towards the center of the battlefield. It was time to wrap up this war.
• • •
The execution ground, temporarily converted from the plaza, was stained with blood.
Magicians, soldiers, knights, and mercenaries of the Magic Alliance alike went up to the guillotine and were beheaded.
Accepting them as prisoners and using them as subordinates? There was no reason to do that. I already had enough power. There was no nation on this continent that could defy me now.
It would be perfect if only that damned Red Dragon Leosio and the Demon King were gone.
I, who had been watching the executions, soon got up from my seat.
“Are you already getting up? We’ve only executed 120 people so far. There are still 37,610 executions left.”
Scarlett said beside me. She was enjoying the executions while drinking champagne.
“That’s enough. I’m bored. At this rate, the executions won’t end even after several days… Why not just kill them all at once?”
“That would be a waste. It wouldn’t be a lesson. Look. The citizens who were cheering at first are now fearing their lord. We must instill fear while we can. So they won’t dream of treason.”
“Do as you please. But don’t leave a single one alive.”
“Of course. 37,610… no, five just died, so it’s 37,605. I will witness their deaths with my own two eyes. But, Master, may I ask where you are going?”
“I’m going to collect the spoils of war.”
“Ah.”

My steps down the hallway were light.
I grinned, looking at the room at the end of the hallway. In front of the room at the end of the hallway stood a naked woman with black hair and gray eyes.
Aridna.
Eileen’s maid, who also served as her bodyguard.
As soon as she saw me, she closed her eyes and bowed her head.
I strode towards her. Her perky C-cup breasts were well-proportioned. I scanned her body with my eyes, then looked between her tightly pressed thighs. Stiff pubic hair covered her private parts.
I slipped my hand between her thighs.
“……”
She couldn’t even let out a groan. She could only spread her thighs as I wished.
I massaged her dry pussy with my fingers.
“I remember last night. Your pussy was quite delicious. Is your master’s pussy more delicious than yours?”
“……”
“Answer me. Do you really want to see your master groveling on the floor?”
I squeezed her pussy tightly. She flinched. Perhaps because I used heightened sensitivity, I immediately felt moisture in her pussy. Aridna’s face contorted.
“Ugh…! Yes. The Princess’s pussy is… more delicious than mine…!”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Squelch, squelch, squelch.
My fingers relentlessly dug into Aridna’s pussy.
“Before tasting your master, I need to taste your pussy one more time. Lean against the wall and stick your ass out.”
Aridna turned around and leaned against the wall. She stuck her ass out slightly. Her cute little anus and parted pink pussy were revealed.
“Princess Eileen has the noblest blood in this country. Please treat her as a princess…”
Slap!
Her white buttocks, struck by my palm, trembled.
“Shut up. I’ll decide what to do with Princess Eileen. You just shut your mouth and think about tightening my cock.”
I plunged my erect cock deep into Aridna’s pussy.
