## Chapter 1008 – The Aristocrat Kim Katte

“Kyaaaaaaaak!!!”
“Nooooooo!!”
“Stooooooop!!!”

Screams echoed.

“Kuhahahahahahaha!!!!”

Laughter filled with glee.

It was a dreamlike, surreal scene. Women who looked nothing like they belonged in the sky were fluttering about like celestial beings, their skirts billowing. Every time they lost momentum and plummeted, piles of food would erupt into the air.

—콰앙!!

“My cooking!!!!!”
“No way!! That’s my masterpiece!!”
“Stop it!!! Don’t destroy our dishes anymore!!!”

Chefs wearing their characteristic, inhumanly tall hats tore at their hair and wailed. They desperately wanted to protect their creations, but they were just ordinary chefs from another world, not British cooks skilled in dark arts, and they couldn’t stop the rampaging superhuman.

—쿠웅!

“You, you bitch!!”
“Gyaaaaaaaak!!!”

As Karin delivered a soccer kick, a sprawled-out woman shot straight up, hit the ceiling, and then fell back down. Yes, fell. But even falling didn’t offer an escape.

—파앗!

Like the legendary basketball emperor Michael Jordan, Karin snatched the woman out of the air and shot her like a basketball, bombarding those who were trying to escape towards the entrance. It was a human basketball and a human cannonball, all in one.

—쿠웅!!

“Aaaaaaaagh!!!”

Those trying to escape were suddenly scattered like shrapnel from a grenade.

“This isn’t a welcome party!!! It’s a madness party!!!”
“This is helllllllll!!!!”
“Open the door!! Open the door quickly!!! Help the fallen and escape!!!”

The panicked nobles were at a loss, screaming. It was a truly chaotic space. Piercing through that chaos, Karin roared.

“I remember everything, you fucking bitches!!!!”

Her target was the five sprawled-out mistresses.

“You abused me and my mother, insulting us for my origins!!! Now it’s your turn to be abused!!! It’s time to pay the price for insulting people!!!”

Karin looked so happy as she roared, she was beautiful.

Look at that fluttering ponytail. Those long legs are a masterpiece too. Anyway, she used her fists and feet to trample the marquis’s mistresses who had insulted her in the past.

“Kyaaaaaaaak!!!”

Like a master of striking, she inflicted extreme violence without killing them. None of the mistresses had intact limbs anymore. From the third mistress to the seventh, they were all getting beaten together. The other mistresses could only watch the carnage with terrified eyes.

“What!! Mother!!!”

That’s when it happened.

“How dare you touch my mother!!!”
“W-What is this rudeness!!!”
“That brazen hussy!!!”
“This is why we shouldn’t have invited her!!”

Whether they were the mistresses’ children or not, a mixed-gender group of people dressed smartly grabbed their weapons and charged towards us. It looked like there were rooms on either side of the party hall. They must have come out of there after hearing the commotion.

Anyway, had they found courage because their mothers were being attacked?

—지이이잉!!

Some of them were trying to use magic, raising magic circles with their palms pointed at Karin.

“Ha.”

Of course, it was useless.
There was no way that would work on Karin.

But I couldn’t forgive those who were interfering with Karin’s revenge.

“Oooooooooh!!”
“Save our mothers!!!”
“Stop her!!!”
“Tsuaaaaaaaap!!!”

Those who raised their swords charged towards Karin to save their mothers.

Good, good.

Should I step in now?

I couldn’t let anyone interfere with Karin’s revenge.

“Stop right there, you fledgling children!!!!”

I immediately blocked them and shouted loudly.

“P-Paladin…!”
“That’s a Paladin!!”
“What does it matter! My mother is being beaten over there!!”

Beaten?

Good point.

“Does that look like she’s being beaten to you!!!”

—갈!!!!!

I roared with all my might, and the guys who were about to charge stopped in their tracks. Even after stopping, they were still agitated and shouted.

“What!!”
“What are you saying…!”
“If that’s not being beaten, then what is it!!!”

That’s not being beaten.

“Look closely!!! She’s not being beaten, she’s being!!!!”

—처억!

I pointed at Karin and shouted again.

“Fucking destroyed! Listen up! The mothers who gave birth to you and raised you are getting their asses kicked and fucking destroyed!!! You can’t call that just being beaten! You’re underestimating the concept of being fucking destroyed!!! It’s beyond just being beaten, that’s what it is!!!”

After giving them that proper lesson, they started to freak out.

“U-Uaaaaaaagh!!!”
“What nonsense is that crazy bastard spouting!!!”
“Motherrrrrrr!!”
“You son of a bitchhhhhhhh!!!”
“Kill him!!!”

The guys who were freaking out now targeted me and charged. I didn’t know if they knew I was the Paladin who won the martial arts tournament or not. Anyway, I had drawn their aggro properly. Now Karin wouldn’t be disturbed.

Anyway, I took a look at them.

They were quite old… but their skills were pathetic, not even up to the level of the Royal Knights. These young, fledgling bastards were my opponents?

“What?”

Wait.

“These bastards…!”

Looking closely, they weren’t children, they were adults!!!

They were all adults! When I thought about it, they were obviously older than Karin!!! Because I thought they were the mistresses’ children, I had them pegged as kids in my head, but it wasn’t true!!!

I was tricked!!!

“Uaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!”

I tore at my hair and charged at them.

How dare they trick me!!!

—콰앙!!!

The collision.

Was clear.

“Uaaaaaaagh!!!”

They couldn’t even execute basic swordplay, just swinging their swords around wildly. I lightly flicked my arm to knock away all the blades, then planted appropriate punches in their faces and solar plexuses to subdue them.

—콰앙! 콰앙! 콰앙!

“Guh!”
“Oaaaaaaagh!!!!”
“Gwaaagh!!”
“Muwooooogh!!”

In less than three seconds, seven swordsmen screamed and flew back, crashing into the wall and collapsing. All I had to do was dodge the swords or knock them away with my forearms, and then plant a punch in their empty chests.

In the first place, even if a hundred or a thousand of these bastards came, they couldn’t beat me!!

—끼에에에에에에에에에에에엨!!!

I shouted as I sent the charging guys flying.

“Don’t interfere with her revenge!! Karin has lived her life being cruelly abused by your mothers! This is just her revenge! She’s just repaying the grudges of her childhood!!!”
“Uaaaaaaaaaaagh!!”
“Someone help me!!!”
“He’s too strong!!!!”
“Someone, anyone, please help me!!”

The nobles went flying.

“This is righteous revenge!!! Only those who want to get their asses kicked should come at me!!!!”

In less than a minute, the guys who had bravely charged to save their mothers were all sprawled out, spitting blood and crawling on the ground.

“Keuhaaagh!!!”
“Keuheok!”
“B-But still, to do this to us nobles…!”
“It’s ridiculous…!”
“To do this without any evidence… Keulleok!!!”
“T-To be unable to beat someone without even a weapon…!”
“Is he really the martial arts tournament champion!”

Among the wrecked guys, those who were still somewhat conscious muttered nonsense as they crawled on the ground to escape. I just looked down at them.

That’s when.

“Keuheueuk…!”

One guy got up.

“For my mother…! I won’t fall!!!!”

He seemed to be a late child, probably in his late teens. He barely supported himself with his sword, glaring at me with trembling eyes and shouting like a warrior.

“Hoo. Interesting.”

Good spirit.

“Come at me, kid.”
“Uaaaaaaat!!!”

As I provoked him with a nod, he grabbed his sword in an awkward stance and charged at me with a shout.

He had no speed, no power, no technique, nothing.
All he had was spirit.

“Enemy of my mother!!!”

Since he had a spirit I liked, should I give him a lesson?

—부웅!

He swung his sword wildly, and I dodged it more easily than breathing. I could dodge something like that even if I was blindfolded, masturbating, and hopping on one foot. After the first attack, he continued with indiscriminate attacks, but they were just laughable to me.

“Eit! Keuaaaat!! Why can’t I hit him!!!”
“Kid, that’s not how you use a sword.”
“What!!”

—꽈악.

I reached out and grabbed the flying blade.

“W-What strength…! The sword won’t move!”

After grabbing the sword and snatching it away, I held it.

“Heok!!!”

As if he had come to his senses after losing his sword, he took a step back with a terrified face. When they’re that age, they think they’re invincible as long as they have a sword. Now that he lost it, he must be scared.

“I’ll give you a lesson.”

—츠팟.

I said that and unleashed sword ki.

“A-Anit!!! That’s Sword Aura!!!”

It was a realm that was not easily seen.
He looked at my sword in shock.

“Sword Aura?”

But.

“No.”

This wasn’t Sword Aura.

“No.”

I ignited the sword flame.

—화르르륵!!

The blade began to burn.

“This isn’t just Sword Aura!!!”
“…!”

As I watched him freeze in shock, I showed him my skill.

“It’s Sword Orolong, you bastard!!!!!”
“Wh-What did you sayyyy!!!”

—오로로로롱!!

As I swung the sword, scattering sword flames, a bizarre and creepy sound echoed and the space was cut. The target was the kid right in front of me!

—촤학!!

I slashed him!

“Kyaaaaaaaak!!!”
“Look! At your body!”
“M-My body?!”

The kid, who was cowering and screaming, looked down at his body.

Then.

—퍼엉!!

All his clothes exploded.

“What!! Uaaaaaaagh!!”

The guy, who was instantly naked, screamed while covering his genitals. I hadn’t injured his body at all, only cut his clothes. It was very easy for me.

“Kyaaaaaaaak!!!”

I guess that was enough.

I immediately slapped the kid’s head with my palm.

—콰앙!

“Kkuek!”

The guy fainted and collapsed.

“Hehehe. You pathetic little bastard.”

I controlled my strength.

Anyway.

I looked around the scene.

—People who were fucked up.
—People who were even more fucked up.
—People who were really fucked up.

Just hearing the words, you could tell it was a complete disaster.

The chefs were sitting down with despairing expressions, looking at the fucked-up dishes, the guys who had charged at me were all fucked up, and the mistresses who Karin had taken care of were all screwed up.

“Ah, fuck, this feels so good!! I should have done this sooner!!! How dare those bitchy mistresses insult me!!!”

In that space, Karin stood alone and laughed wildly. As she laughed, she gathered the sprawled-out mistresses into a human hamburger and sat on top of them.

“Eueueuk…”
“Kkeueueueuk…”
“Euk…”

The mistresses moaned.

No one was dead.

Anyway, the welcome party for Karin of the Bestart family had become a complete disaster.

“M-Mother…!
“Heueuk… Mother!!”
“Why did this happen…!”

The children of the fallen mistresses crawled towards their mothers and shed tears. Their mothers had been fucked up right in front of their eyes. No matter how strong their hearts were, they couldn’t help but wail.

“Kkeueuk…!”

I watched that.

The taste of revenge is sweet after all.

Very good.
Most of all, Karin was enjoying it.

That was the best.

“Father…! Father!!!”

That’s when it happened.

The fucked-up guys suddenly started looking for their fathers.

“This happened because Father brought that woman here!!!”
“Why now…!”
“It’s all Father’s fault…”

Come to think of it, there was the Marquis Bestart. It seemed like these guys thought the marquis was responsible for this mess because he had invited Karin.

Ah, but what was that bastard marquis doing right now?

“Hmm?”

I looked for the marquis for a moment, and he was just sitting on the floor, silently watching the carnage.

I had been so focused on the mistresses and their children that I hadn’t noticed him at all.

“It’s all Father’s fault!!! Why do you keep insisting on such unreasonable things!!!”
“Do you hate us taking your wealth that much!! Huh!!”
“Did you have to ruin everything like this!!!”
“Were you planning to take all your wealth to the grave!!!”

Soon, everyone started to blame the marquis. They couldn’t lash out at the superhumans who had fucked them up, so they were committing patricide.

“It’s all Father’s fault!!!”

But damn, their family affairs were literally fucked up.
There couldn’t be a more messed-up family.

If Marquis Bestart had been in his right mind, this rebellion would have been impossible, but he was just a senile old man with dementia.

“…”

Karin also silently watched the marquis.

So I.

“You foolishly forgot the past and called Karin, so it’s a natural price to pay, Marquis.”

I approached the marquis, looked down at him, and said.

“You may not have done anything directly, but Karin spent her childhood being abused by your mistresses. And then you sent that kind of letter, so it was a natural result. Karin came here to settle old grudges. So look. Look at your mistresses being fucked up. That’s just retribution.”

The marquis blinked and slowly looked up at me.

“…”

He was a very old man.
Just an old man.

Not a warrior, not a marquis, just an old man.

“This is all your fault.”

I said one last time.

“…I know.”

The marquis answered in a cracked voice.

“What?”
“I need to write my will properly.”
“Will?”

Then he got up, returned to his seat, righted the overturned chair, and sat on it.

What?

“…”

Sitting in the chair, for some reason.

He looked like a person befitting the position of marquis.

“You… my children… You forgot that I was your father and tried to take everything I had built over my lifetime just because I was old and weak… while I was still alive…”

As the marquis, he began to speak in an extremely aristocratic voice.

—…

Silence fell in the hall.

Because it was quite a creepy attitude.

“Love? Yes. I didn’t really give you love. But I provided you with a wealthy life. That was my duty as Marquis Bestart… When I was young, the Bestart family was nothing special. I built it up with my own strength throughout my life. The life you have now was something you couldn’t even dream of back then.”

The marquis, talking about the past, seemed to have regained his youth for a moment.

“But… you, who have lived so wealthily without any effort, dared to fight and bicker like this to divide my wealth, and openly ignored me. You created the reality that my children wanted my death more than anyone else in the world.”

The marquis said, looking at everyone sprawled out.

“…”
“…”
“…”

They all tried to avoid the marquis’s gaze.

“Is this the end of my life, which has prospered the family for so long…? Is it because I had too many children? Many children are the basis of being a noble. So I can’t accept it. I can’t accept it. You must pay the price for your patricide.”

Price?

“W-What price…!”
“Honey! Don’t do this! Please!”
“Father…!”

They pleaded.

And shocking news broke out.

“I will give 90% of my inheritance to Karin. I will also give the position of head of the family and the title of marquis to Karin. You can fight over the remaining 10%, and fight again. Remember this father’s last 모습 as you fight ugly.”

He was giving all the inheritance to Karin?

“C-Crazy!! That’s nonsense!! Father!! Get a grip!!”
“He called that woman here from the beginning with this scheme!!! It’s a conspiracy! It’s a scam!”
“That’s nonsense! It won’t be legally recognized!!”
“Mother!! Stop Father! He’s out of his mind!!!”
“I’m going to sue formally!!!”

A backlash erupted.

It was the same as the cries of pests.

The marquis smiled bitterly as he watched it.

“Are you finally coming to your senses? My sons and daughters. This is revenge for ignoring and despising me all this time. You are no longer my children… so get out of here right now.”

—으아아아아아아악!!!

Amid the screams, the marquis said to Karin.

“Karin. To be honest, I don’t know anything about you.”

Karin had come down from the mistress hamburger and was standing in front of the marquis.

“Your mother and you are all outside my memory. You were abused as a child? I’m sorry about that. But you’ve taken revenge, so I guess that’s that. You beat those damn bastards up very nicely.”

It was an open-hearted voice.

Yes.
So that’s why he sent that letter.

“I knew this would happen and used you. I’m sorry about that too. So, take the reward after I die. A marquisate is quite useful. Someone like you, who has received a royal commendation, is more than qualified to inherit it.”
“…”

Karin, who had been listening quietly, silently looked down at the Marquis, then said,

“How dare you.”
“What?”
“How dare you use me?”
“What did you say?”

Suddenly revealing her ferocity,

“You’re so dead, you son of a bitch.”
“W-wait!!! Wait, sto—”

—Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!

Marquis Vestart screamed grotesquely as he flew away.

“I will never forgive anyone who uses me like trash!!!!”

At the same time, Karin looked at me, reciting a familiar line.

Then, moving only her lips, she said,

—Am I doing this right?

“You’re doing it right, you are.”

Karin looked very pleased.
