## Chapter 635 – I Won’t Forgive You

“SALVERIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!!!!”

Consumed by rage, the Marquis rushed over and clutched the corpse of Baron Salverin. With his head torn off, he was undoubtedly dead.

Baron Salverin was quite strong and wore fraudulent equipment, but he couldn’t reach me. Considering I also had various items equipped, his skill was similar to or slightly below mine.

I, Kim Kkat, can easily defeat opponents of `this level`.

ㅡOverwhelming a skilled knight employed by the Baron family for a long time, earning their trust.

Even if Baron Salverin had attacked head-on without relying on magical means, the result wouldn’t have changed. That was the difference between me and him, and the reason for the outcome of this duel.

“Duel Overㅡ!!!!!! Baron Salverin Cordilius, the duelist of the Heilen Baron family, has been defeated and killed, making the winnerㅡ!!!!! Barbarian Warrior KimㅡKkatㅡt!!!!!!!!”

The announcer declared my victory.

As originally agreed, the Baron family will have to take responsibility for insulting me without reason and apologize. Of course, Marquis Lormalza, the duel notary, will have to do the same.

I declared confidently.

“As the victor, I, Kim Kkat, will legally and rightfully seize all the assets that Baron Salverin brought to the duel!!!! No one can interfere with my rights!!! This is the rightful privilege of the duel winner!!!”

First, I picked up the magic sword that Baron Salverin dropped. It looked like a good sword at first glance. A masterpiece that could be used as a spare if it weren’t for the jewel embedded in the blade.

Just selling this would bring in a fortune.

It’s not enough as compensation for this duel, but if I take everything, I should get my money’s worth. This bastard had some really good equipment.

Now, let’s strip Baron Salverin’s armor.

“Get out of the way, Marquis Lormalza!!!”

I pointed at the Marquis, who was clinging to the corpse and wailing, and shouted.

“His life and death!! His soul!!! His armor and accessories are all mine now!!! My rightful property!!! Even the corpse is mine, so why are you clinging to what belongs to someone else!!!!!!”
“You, you vile and unscrupulous thief!!!!! I will never forgive you!!! No matter what, I will wash away this disgrace, this insult! And this humiliation!!!!!”
“Hehehe! May you live a long and healthy life, Marquis Lormalza!!!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaack!!!!”

Now that I’ve won, there’s no need to get any angrier, so I gave him well wishes with a smile. He roared and raised his wand again.

“I’ll kill you!!!!”
“Stop it, Wizard Marquis!!!!!”

Just then, Captain Barkerel, wearing golden-bronze Holy Angel armor, approached and stopped him.

Seeing him, the Marquis gritted his teeth and shouted.

“What business does a Holy Knight have interfering…! Does the Church dare to interfere in the affairs of nobles!!!”
“That’s not the reason! Acknowledge the defeat now, Wizard Marquis!!! The match is decided!! I can’t just let you insult and attack him any further!!”

Captain Barkerel…!
He came running to take my side!

Looking at the seats where the church members were sitting, Saintess Kadia was waving her hand. Since she couldn’t come herself, she sent Captain Barkerel.

“Why, why…! Why is the Church just standing by and watching this robbery and atrocity…! Is that what your God taught you!!! If you are a Church that upholds justice, you should arrest that man!!”
“This is a sacred duel with each other’s honor at stake, Wizard Marquis!! An agreed-upon duel! You even sent the duel invitation first! Paladin Kim Kkat is simply exercising his rights as the victor! So, if you try to disgrace the God Verde, the Church will have no choice but to protest!!”

Captain Barkerel burst out in anger.

He was seeing the situation very accurately. As expected of a Holy Knight, he knows how to think rationally.

“Where, where in this outrage is there honor…!”

Marquis Lormalza mumbled incoherently.

Anyway, my performance was properly conveyed to the Church. I’ve shown Saintess Kadia my skills, so I can gain even more trust.

“Marquis. You started this by challenging me to a duel to restore your honor and tried to kill me. Why the fuck are you pretending you don’t know and only harassing me? You said you’d kill me, cut off my head, and take it. So, why don’t you stop being a pain in the ass?”
“You…!”

The Marquis trembled.
I immediately thanked Captain Barkerel.

“And Captain Barkerel. Thank you so much.”
“It’s only natural, Paladin. You are already as good as a member of our order. And you are a comrade who has annihilated heretics together.”

I’m so touched right now.

“I watched the duel very well. Although the one who lost his life and fell was not a heretic, fighting to protect one’s honor is extremely rational and correct. The God Verde would have seen this in the same way.”
“Captain…! Thank you for saying that!”
“It’s nothing. I only interfered because that Wizard Marquis was acting too irrationally.”

The Church doesn’t usually interfere in the affairs of nobles. The Church recognizes the authority of the nobles. Unless they commit an atrocity that cannot be overlooked, they tolerate them acting in their own way.

But this was my duel.

I am a quasi-priest, and I will become a Paladin if I go to the capital. So, they came to help. They had enough justification to say something.

“A lowly barbarian bastard…! You will pay the price for harming a noble someday…! Remember that!!!!”

As if he had given up, the Marquis stood up and shouted that.

“You’re a pathetic bastard. Live like that for the rest of your life, you son of a bitch.”
“To insult me to the end…!”

Did the Marquis think that a duel with a barbarian meant that I would just die unilaterally? He didn’t allow me to counterattack at all.

If I had lost, he would have told me to shut up and die. It seems like his perspective on people is just different.

“I wonder if you’ll be so good in front of the wizards of the Magic Tower…!”
“I can’t watch this anymore.”

At that moment, Lord Isvant descended into the arena.

ㅡStep, step.
ㅡStep, step.

Behind him followed two heavily armed knights and a wizard who looked like professional serial killers.

“L, Lord!!!”

I immediately knelt on one knee and bowed my head! Lord Isvant came down himself!

Well, the Lord was also watching as a notary of the duel. He couldn’t just stand by and watch the chaos in his arena.

“Hmm, Quasi-Priest. I enjoyed watching a very interesting duel. It was a nice diversion for a change. Is this the second time I’ve seen this?”
“It is an honor that the Lord remembers a humble barbarian!!! It is also an honor for my family for generations that you enjoyed it!!!!”
“Hmm? Hehehe, I’m glad that you say it’s an honor. Anyway, you did a great job. Thanks to you, we were able to protect Isvant’s honor.”

The Lord seemed to be in a good mood. It’s only natural. I won the duel. We can return the insult we received.

“It is only natural as one who has received grace from the Lord!!”
“You know your manners very well. Raise your head and stand up.”
“Yes!!”

I immediately stood up and stood at attention.

“You’ve worked hard. I will personally resolve this matter with the Heilen Baron family.”
“Thank you!!”

Lord Isvant patted my shoulder once and said to the knight and wizard behind him.

“Arrest Marquis Lormalza. Escort him to prison politely.”
“Understood!”
“Understood!”

Then, the wizard pointed his staff at the Marquis, and the two knights surrounded the Marquis and slowly approached.

“L, Lord Isvant…!”
“If you resist, our knights might make a mistake. Stay still, Marquis. You shouldn’t show an ugly sight as a noble, should you?”
“But Lord! That man killed a noble!!!”

That crazy bastard is arguing that I killed a noble during a duel.

“It’s a duel, a duel. It’s natural for people to die during a duel. It’s basic common sense, but I won’t bother reminding you since you don’t seem to have the ability to understand.”
“He’s a barbarian…!”
“He wants to rest soon. Escort him to prison quickly. Give him some ice torture to cool his head, no. Give him an ice shower.”
“Understood!”

The knight, who answered energetically, handcuffed the Marquis.

“Th, This…!”

The Marquis was furious, but he couldn’t yell at the Lord, so he just glared at me and left the arena with the knights.

Wow, he’s really arresting him right away.

Unlike the Young Lady, who endured things once or twice even when various things happened, the Lord ordered the arrest right away. Lord Isvant is the owner of this place. And there’s no need to put up with it since I won the duel.

He’ll probably imprison him and demand an apology or get ransom money. A significant portion of that will fall to me.

“Father!! You came down yourself!!! It’s so satisfying!!!!”

Young Lady Isvant, who came running, stood in front of the Lord with a very happy face.

“Calm down a bit.”

The Lord, seeing her like that, answered with his hands behind his back as if he was used to it.

“Calm down is impossible! I am also in a state of anger!!! I only endured it because I am not the Lord!!!! If I had known this would happen, I would have arrested him earlier!!!”
“I understand, so calm down a bit.”
“I understand, Father!! Then I’ll go up first! I’ll praise the Barbarian Warrior and go!!!”
“If you want to do that, calm down a bit first.”
“Yes!!!!!!”
“Tsk…”

Lord Isvant gave one last greeting and left the arena with the wizard. I greeted him with the utmost courtesy.

“Barbarian Warrior!!!!!!!”
“Young Lady!!”

Only then did the Young Lady turn to me, and with a face full of joy, she reached out to me almost as if she was running.

ㅡJiggle!

With that movement, the front of the dress, where the cleavage was very clearly exposed, jiggled. Does she not care about that at all? It’s quite big, so I was momentarily distracted.

I pondered for a moment about how to react, then grabbed her hands and naturally spun her around like in a movie.

“Victory!!!!! It’s a victory!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I dedicate this victory!!!!!!!!!!! To the Young Lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Extreme!!!!!!!!!!! Amazement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tremendous feat!!!!!!!!!! To slice through such a skilled person in an instant, as expected of a powerful warrior!!!!! Especially tearing off his head at the end was truly an impressive display of barbarian ferocity!!!!!!!!!! A wonderful finish that will be talked about for a long time!!!!!!!!!”

She must have liked the Wilderness Blood Jade Hand.

“I’m so glad you liked it!!!!!!!!!! Really happy!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“O~hohohohohohohot!!!! It’s delightful and exhilarating!!!! The joy you have given this lady is beyond imagination!!! A truly vivid and amazing duel itself!!!! Fresh shock and fun!!! And refreshing!!!!!”
“Hehehe!!!! I feel the same way!!!”

ㅡSpin, spin!

I spun around like crazy with the Young Lady, like a playground merry-go-round, and praised the victory.

This was the human centrifuge.

How many children were sacrificed in that playground in their childhood? The bone dust of tens of thousands of boys and girls who lost their lives in that hellish merry-go-round formed the soil of this arena. To that, I will add the bone dust of Baron Salverin, who lost to me.

ㅡSpin, spin!!

“I’m starting to get dizzy!!!! Let’s stop!!!!”

The Young Lady, who had been spinning like crazy, stopped moving.

“Understood!!!!!!!!”
“Hmm, hmm! Baron Salverin has already lost his life, and Marquis Lormalza has been arrested! This will put pressure on the Heilen Baron family, and we will get an apology!! Of course, the same goes for material compensation! I will deliver it in my name!!”
“As expected, the Young Lady is!!!!! Truly a righteous and just person!!!!!!”
“O~hohohohohohohohohohot!!!!”

The Young Lady, hearing the praise, covered her mouth with the back of her hand and burst into laughter as if she was happy.

“I would like to talk a little more, but there are many parts to discuss with the notaries, so I will leave now! If the Deathworm sale is completed, let’s meet again! Goodbye!!!”
“Goodbye!!!”

After saying goodbye to the Young Lady, all that remained on the scene was me and the corpse of Baron Salverin. Captain Barkerel had already returned to his seat and was cleaning up with the church members.

Now I just need to take all the equipment and go to my wives.
