Chapter 182 – 181. People-Catching Hero (1)

-Outskirts of Carlos Territory-

[Kim Hae-jin’s point of view]

Tsk.

Normally, I should have been present during the meeting between Dawn Bringer and Pantalone, but I am currently absent. The reason I left was because the condition of Mine that I had sent was not very good.

“…Mine, you worked hard.”

“…I can still hold out longer.”

Mine is holding my hand and being held in my arms as if she doesn’t want to let go.

While helping Pantalone and rescuing all of the remaining resistance fighters that Pantalone was trying to save, I stormed in and saved Mine before some of the resistance fighters tried to attack Duke Pantalone.

If it had been a little later, Mine’s life could not have been guaranteed.

No,

It doesn’t exactly die.

Her body will simply be destroyed, and her soul will return to me.

“…When your mental strength runs out, you will fall asleep. Now, stay back. From now on, it’s time to leave it to [Alina].”

“… I’m leaving it to her to do her own thing.”

Call one of the remaining escorts. The sight of her body turning into powder and being reorganized. [Escort] Was created after the woman who was most precious to me.

The second and final elite escort.

[Alina] Begins to take shape.

“Thank you for your hard work. Mine, you really worked hard following me for 50 years.”

“…Someday, even when we all go to rest, I want you to live.”

There’s no way that could be possible.

…

I too have lived too long now.

And-

Alina appeared little by little, and finally Mine kissed me and said,

“…Please, I hope you can find your next life-“

…

That won’t happen.

I’m tired now too.

At the end, Mine loses her appearance and [Alina] Finally appears.

Silver hair and brown eyes. As usual with her provocative appearance, she even has the red bridge that every member of my family wears.

“It’s been a while, honey. Did you wait for me?”

“…Unfortunately, if I called you, you would know why, right?”

“Well then, it’s something that needs to be destroyed. You say you’re a guard, but you focus on the destruction function. I don’t know what Dr. Mayer was thinking when he created me.”

And finally, Alina materialized.

Red and black tight-fitting suits. Red, black and purple energy flows through the reinforced suit that covers the entire body, and when it scratches the ground once, a slash reaching up to several tens of meters is created and flies away.

The last time I saw it, it had the power to cut the guy who attacked me into 6 pieces in one go, but now even though it was a light blow, it seems like it could split a mountain into pieces with this amount of power.

Two escorts created by Spiegelmeier.

And her powers are outstanding strength, durability, and destructive power.

While Mine competes with speed and sharpness, she competes only with power and durability.

She seems to be in a good mood as she makes a nasal noise as if she likes it.

“Oh, as expected, this is good. I’m definitely stronger now than before, so my output has also increased, right? And, the reason you called me… Was because of that kid, right?”

“I feel like there are quite a few last things I need to do before I disappear.”

“…It’s the heart of a parent. Ha, by the way, you should have just stayed. Why did you go to hell and leave those children behind in the first place?”

“If it weren’t for me, everyone would have died.”

“And you ended up in this hell.”

“…Even so, I will make that choice no matter how many times.”

Because I can’t be left alone anymore.

“…Whew, I don’t really want to defend that crazy doctor, but it’s no wonder he goes crazy like that.”

“I didn’t come here to talk about that.”

“It’s because of that doctor that Mine ended up like that, and the culprit is right in front of me, so I can’t believe I’m just ignoring this. It’s understandable that the doctor is going crazy. It’s even more infuriating that he’s being led that way in the first place.”

“…”

“How long do you have to go through this because of us?”

“Soon.”

“…Soon?”

“Soon, I will finally be at rest. All of you, too.”

“…Live, you stupid human.”

“Stop.”

A guest has arrived.

And a person I know well.

And Alina is a person I don’t know much about.

Charles.

And you can approach me casually, and in the same illness-

“…Is it Charles?”

“Yes, I am here, Admiral.”

“…I’m here at the right time. Shall we sit here and look around with the people who ruined their own country?”

And, it is also drinking time between the damn country destroyers who destroyed their own country. Alina is aware of the energy flowing through Charles’ body, and that he is the exact opposite of me, an enemy who faced me and fought with me, but that’s okay.

“Wait a minute – isn’t this an enemy that needs to be blown up?”

“Yes, that’s right. Nice to meet you. Charles, I once fought against Admiral Kim, and I plan to fight with him in the future as well. Well, I don’t know when that will happen.”

“…At least you’re okay now, right? Right?”

…

Fuck You.

It’s merciless.

Are you angry because I called you a grandmother?

You already have a grandson, so why are you talking like a grandmother? Anyway, right now, this is a story that marks a turning point for Clark.

Should we follow the existing framework?

Otherwise, should I break out of my shell and change further?

Are you going to play into the hands of an old woman?

Or will you pave your own path and become bigger?

I am in a position to observe this, and the same goes for Charles.

And…

“It’s funny that the Black Pharaoh, who should be in Camelot, lives here.”

Until Nyarlathotep.

“That’s because observing my enemies is the most basic of all.”

And Alina becomes very wary as she looks at Nyarlathotep. And I catch Alina. Alina looks at me with her puzzled eyes and asks if I don’t want to kill her, but I can’t kill her in the first place, and I shouldn’t kill her.

Because Demon Sultan did not allow it.

So the process of going against the will of the Demon Sultan would be a truly unusual and exciting sight for the Demon Sultan.

That’s why we’ve gathered the audience here now.

“…Well, that’s true. Welcome back.”

“What, you’re not satisfied with me?”

Naturally, we are now in the position of watching this, and fighting among the audience is not allowed.

The banquet host says he will do that, but what can you do?

“I can’t see Mudaguchi.”

“Ah, he’ll take care of it on his own. He’ll take care of everything. But you’re saying that you’re that kid’s adoptive father. How about the sense of betrayal he’ll feel later?”

Well, maybe.

Nyarlathotep is trying to scratch my insides with his unique Sechi tongue, so what can I do? Whether or not he felt betrayed in the first place, from the beginning, I was unable to do anything as I wanted except to make Clark stronger.

Sincerely, Clark has become stronger…

I just want you to kill me, to end this pain.

If I can just be left alone and not feel sad about my death, that’s not a bad outcome.

“Then the breakup will hurt a little less.”

“…Ah, that’s not funny. You don’t even have the taste for teasing.”

“It would be best to behave in moderation in front of Clark. Isn’t it a bit much to get beaten up by your nephew at that age? …Or are you going to be crushed right under him?”

“Ha! What the fuck are you talking about!?”

Well.

It’s understandable why that damn old woman sent Nyarlathotep’s body here in the first place.

Well, figure it out.

After that, it’s not my concern or concern anymore.

“Well, all three of the beasts of the ruined country have gathered here. Then, let’s sit here, watch the ritual, and eat rice cake.”

“…Really, why am I with these stupid things-“

“Tsk tsk tsk, if you ask me, you’ll be called a demon sultan.”

“You bastard, really, you, the bastard who came in as my successor, have a habit of talking to your predecessor.”

“Fuck it, senior.”

“Ack! It’s fun to neglect one’s duties!”

Okay, whatever.

“I guess that can’t be done anymore?”

Nyarlathotep knows why I do this, and of course I have no doubt that Clark will beat this guy.

Right now, I’m in a lot of trouble.

Okay.

Clark is quite weak.

This guy is still having fun playing the game, and he came here because he was scared that he might lose while having fun.

To examine the enemy’s situation and finally make a rational judgment and analysis.

“…Ha, you are sure that I will lose to that kid. A human. A kid who hasn’t even shed his human shell yet-“

I guess so.

But so what.

“Being knocked down by a brat like that is also entertainment.”

“Hey, what kind of entertainment is that?”

Probably not for you.

Of course, this is strictly from my perspective.

“Huh? I’m the one having fun, not you. Why are you teasing me, Mr. Negeumma?”

“You bastard, if it weren’t for your mother’s name, I would have dragged you away and spanked you for the rest of your life.”

“Yes, you can’t? You’ve already been captured by Mortus, so if you do that again, are you really going to do it again this time? Are you going to be pissed? Even if you get treated like this, you can’t do anything~?”

“Pup.”

After saying that, I focus on my eyes.

It is a very convenient and powerful power that can be used anytime.

Every time I use this power, I become no longer myself, and yet I use it, and the reason I use it is to look at my adopted son.

…

The child whose name I can’t even remember anymore, the precious child of the woman who was called [Kongali] And held her stomach dearly.

I have lived for such a long time that I have forgotten that child’s name, and to watch the moment when the child in the arms of his friend grows up and faces his own destiny, reaching a turning point in his destiny.

Will you be swallowed up by fate?

If not…

Are you going to change your destiny?

Duke Pantalone and his wife are arguing with Priam with angry faces.

He then excitedly looks at Clark, who is beating up about 10 people brought in by Priam’s idiot son under the pretense of a duel.

“Charles.”

“Did you call me?”

“…If I think about it, I sometimes think like this. Some guy says I sacrificed my younger siblings to settle my personal grudge.”

“…Who is the person who made such a foolish move?”

Well.

I do not know either.

It was a long time ago, and I don’t even remember it anymore.

“I sold the fleet for personal grudges, so why are you listening to that?”

“It was like that, damn it.”

“You’re swearing at this.”

“개새끼야, 아무리 생각해도 남이 가꿔온 모항에 불지르는건 좀 아니지 않냐 개새야?”

“My feet are on fire, but is that a big deal? That’s the best way to fuck the people who fucked me with my body falling apart from cancer.”

“Yeah, fuck, that’s right.”

Everyone is dying, so what does it matter?

“It’s just like you said. There’s no reason for you to listen to me like that. But why are you saying that?”

“When I saw him, I thought he might be a bit overly excited over there. It’s similar. The situation here right now is the situation at his house.”

“Oh~ Is this the first time you’ve heard of that?”

Nyarlathotep’s eyes light up and Charles becomes wary, but what can he do about being wary? If Charles was on guard, he could have been prevented.

Even though I may be stronger, I can’t stop that bitch if she tries to run away.

“You don’t have to look at it that way. Anyway, no matter what he does, the outcome won’t change.”

“Ha? I knew what the result would be.”

“This is the result the Demon Sultan wants.”

Of course, no one can deny this.

Demon Sultan is moving with his own thoughts and perspectives, and because he sees the potential, he is gathering us here to witness it, and naturally, Clark is going in the direction that Demon Sultan wants.

Mortus intervened in the middle, and Nyarlathotep

“…Ha, that’s right. Is that what you’re saying?”

If you deny this here, you will become the most blasphemous person in the world, and this is what Priam and Eleuard are talking about.

And Priam’s [Eldest son] Is seen moving with his brothers to get his damn brother, with an angry look on his face.

Ruler-

Clark.

What are you going to do here?

…

Are you going to be like me?

Or not-

Are you going to go your own way?

I just sat down, picked up the hip flask, drank, and watched.

This country has already been ruined for a long time, but are we going to completely destroy it?

Either that or are you going to take everything on your shoulders and go down that path?

I hope he chooses wisely.

…

It doesn’t matter what happens.

It is natural for a country like this to fail, and Phrygia has rotted to the point that it would be better to destroy it than to revive it for the sake of trash like this.

“Now, the beginning of ruin and revival. Let’s watch it. The difference between ruin and prosperity is just a piece of paper. Let’s all watch together to see what the difference between that piece of paper is.”

“Do you know that sometimes, when I see you, I think, ‘You are my successor!'”

Of course so.

I don’t know about Nyarlathotep in this time period.

Patience is a very strange concept.

I still don’t understand this concept itself.

Sometimes it’s an egg that doesn’t break no matter how hard you hit it, but sometimes it explodes like a sunfish that falls apart even if you hit it.

At least for now, I don’t think it’s a sunfish.

Liz immediately threw a glove in my face and called it a duel, and Liz and her older sister made quite angry faces.

Duke Pantalone held his brows together and at the same time summoned other knights under his command.

-I’ll leave this to you… I… Think I need to be a little more angry. Okay, it’s been a while since I got properly angry.

-…

-Priam, this son of a bitch is real.

I don’t know, but I think the people in charge of that idiot will be incredibly broken.

-I’ll go with you too.

Liz also seems really upset.

That’s right, Liz is not so generous that she just ignores this asshole who interrupted the meeting time and was rude to another Duke of Frisia during tea time.

She is a woman who knows how to get angry and gets angry when she gets angry.

-Okay, let’s go together. It looks like that idiot is still out of his mind.

-Really, I don’t know what people over there are thinking right now.

-…Liz?

– Damn it, damn it. What can you say if you don’t call this shit?

…I’m really upset about this.

Seeing her say such harsh words in front of her own father.

Well, I wasn’t angry.

There’s no reason to be angry.

This should happen once or twice.

If you get angry every time you hit a jerk, you won’t have the energy when you really need to get angry.

If there is one being that Priam Scherwitz cares so much about, there must be some who are evil, and there must be some assholes, and right now, that asshole is right in front of me.

It is said that when five or more people gather, there is one piece of trash.

I really agree with that.

And I swing the hammer.

“Pretty much-“

Letting out an ugly scream, I kick the last guy who attacked me.

In the middle of the night, about 10 people, not even Hongdukkae, suddenly came in and all 10 of them attacked me and challenged me to a duel.

Did you say that if something is so ridiculous, you can’t even laugh?

Beyond dueling and self-study, isn’t this complete bullshit? The level was so poor that they turned Carol into a hammer without even using magic…

Not to be outdone, it absorbed most of the impact, adjusted it just enough to cause a faint, and adjusted it just enough to hit the head and cause a concussion.

If it’s work, it’s work.

“…W-What- this doesn’t make sense…Kahah!!”

“…Now, my friend, what’s your name? Aren’t we supposed to say our full name before a duel?”

Even though he didn’t say anything…

I actually know.

I didn’t know who this guy was or why he came here, and when he saw me, 10 people stormed in, demanding a duel, and I knocked down all of the guys who were trying to stab me without even using magic. It is true that some kind of power was at work, and it is also true that they were knights of a considerable level.

And I know that if I had just gone on an expedition in the past, I would have been stuck.

Paris Scherwitz.

The 5th son of the Scherwitz family.

Duke Priam Scherwitz.

One of the other Dukes of Phrygia, a famous family that forms one of the pillars of the kingdom along with Pantalone. And the 5th son of the Duke of Scherwitz.

Well, it looks like there are several more people down there, but that’s none of my part-time business, and [The eldest son] Seems to be a bit of a bully, but compared to that guy, I don’t know why he’s like this.

It looks like he’s annoyingly firing three bows in between.

In front of the Duke of Pantalone, he openly led his troops and requested a duel, and they fought in the front yard, shooting arrows.

Although his bow skills were like a ghost, I had no intention of giving him a fair fight since he was already openly trying to get rid of him, so I had Carol catch and eat the arrows. Naturally, no matter how much I shot, I absorbed and collected all the arrows that I could not reach.

“K-K-K-uuuuustr1aalandareaca-a-a-cowardly-coward-c!

“…Oh, this weapon is definitely good. It allows trash like you to hit it with all its might without killing it. But, shouldn’t I say one more thing?”

Hehe-

Carol, who had turned into a hammer, spits out all the arrows that were shot at me.

“…Now, my friend, where did this arrow come from? Since a 10-1 duel isn’t enough, is it fair for you to shoot an arrow at me?”

“W-what-“

Well, this is why people who can hide weapons are so annoying.

Annoying that I have to bring this up.

Breaking down space.

It must be a magic item. In addition to divinity, this guy also felt the energy of a magic circuit, and uniquely, he possessed a magic circuit, a divinity, and at the same time had excellent archery skills, so he literally had a perfect triple beat.

If you ask me what 3 beats are, they are 3 beats that make me angry.

If I could shoot a bow as well as Alicia, I wouldn’t have gotten on her nerves by shooting her with a sharp bow.

Nowadays, I can absorb and shoot guns with Carol, so it’s all good.

The bow that was taken out after breaking the space is proof of that.

“…Now, give me a reason why I shouldn’t kill you here. For your information, this is a life-or-death matter in a [Legitimate] Duel…And I can kill you here as much as I want.”

“Free Elizabeth, you wicked golden sun!! Why did she come to you in the first place?”

Oh, so you think Liz is captured and brainwashed by me?

…

Don’t you think it’s the other way around?

At first, I was going to let him go, but he came along with me, you idiot.

…

And do you know how I feel about not being able to do that because I feel like it will be completely ruined if I just throw it away?

No,

At least it’s none of his business.

Yeah, it’s not my part-time job to know what’s going on with this guy.

“It’s true that I am the evil Geumtaeyang, but you are the one who should be hunted down, you bastard. Do you want to be hunted down? Did you know that you could live with such a trick?”

Wow!!!

Lift your knees and touch your thighs. The thigh muscles are the basics of the lower body, but they are the most painful when used, and when pressed properly, they are so tight that one cannot even stand properly for a while.

“Khaak-!”

The upper body muscles trained to resist try to hit me with their arms, but Carol has already blocked them, their fists are caught, and I hold on to my arm muscles with the rest of my arms.

“Don’t be so harsh, you bastard. I only caused muscle pain, but what’s wrong with a guy who has such great divine power and magic circuits? He can treat injuries like this as much as he likes.”

“…You, you, know who I am-“

“I am the former Archon of Magia, Marcus – Dawn Bringer, the child of the Star Mage. I have nothing to bow to you, so what are you doing?”

Naturally, based on his blood, he is the son of a person who would have been called Magia’s Archon and Magia’s Demon Prince. Even though I’m like that, I have nothing better than this guy.

Droughty?

Ah, what use is a family when the problem is a ruined country?

Of course, it doesn’t seem like this guy.

“A ruined family-“

And someone who intervened appropriately before I could raise my fist and hit him saved this guy’s life.

“Stop being so ugly and go away, Paris.”

In this place, I heard the voice of a completely different person other than me, this bastard, my sister who was watching this duel, my servants Anna, Nug, and Yev.

A man with a low voice, brown hair, dark circles, and a haggard face with not even a properly trimmed beard, but he looks at me with intense eyes that say he will kill anything.

Just looking at him, he’s about 30? Looks like he’s close to 40.

His brown hair and blue eyes contained a quiet will toward me as he held on to his younger brother.

“Golden Sun, Clark – Dawn Bringer. Just leave now.”

“I haven’t finished calculating yet.”

“If you leave here now-“

“What if I step down?”

“…”

My sister comes forward.

Of course, my sister can also join in from now on.

He came out still wearing the women’s tuxedo suit he wore earlier.

The rest, Nug, Yev, and even Anna all came out. And many of the brothers behind the man also came forward, but he raised his hand and made them retreat. If you’re being harsh here and now, it’s clear who you’re going to avoid.

“Step back.”

“…Older brother-“

“I told you to step back.”

And of course, it seems that my sister is quite angry at me being more wary of her than I am. Well, if I were to go somewhere and be ignored by my sister or Liz, I would be so angry, and in fact, I might go on a rampage even longer than this.

My sister feels the same way, and so do I.

The same goes for Liz, and that’s why I’m questioning it now. Looking at my father-in-law and Liz who are sitting behind them, I guess they are their superiors.

In other words, it seemed like he had properly protested and argued with Priam Scherwitz, the head of the Scherwitz family.

Aside from that, my sister seems very uncomfortable with her behavior of ignoring me.

“I’m really curious. Why does everyone peck at me like that when they treat my man like that? Just do it to me like you did to my husband.”

“…You’re telling me not to be wary of you, who collapsed Gehenna and massacred the elves.”

“Helenos.”

He gestures for me to step aside.

Ah, is that so?

“Maybe I should slaughter people on a large scale someday.”

Why even do that because of Ilias?

“Good, that wouldn’t be too bad. If you’re up for it.”

“What are you talking about-“

“It’s okay. There’s no benefit to killing him.”

When I think about it again, there is no benefit.

There are just more things to bother you with.

“So, what’s your name?”

“I don’t have a name to tell you…”

I knew it would happen.

“Hector Scherwitz. Is that your name?”

“…”

I know everything. Well, if you’re going to say shit about me anyway, there’s no reason for me to come across as good either.

“No way, you didn’t think I was a fool who walked around without even knowing about the main people? Hey bro, even though I look like this, I’m from a noble family. At least, I know famous people from all over the world. Well, I’m Clark-Dunbringer. Why am I? “Why should this son of a bitch be saved?”

“It’s not your part-time job. It’s this country’s business-“

“Is it because it has the ability to strengthen the military? Because we need it.”

And of course, his eyebrows twitch to the point where you can see he’s upset. I already know everything about you guys, so why are you trying to show off? It’s a bonus that he’s openly provoking me like that. I was trying to do this in the first place, and if there are people who have bad thoughts about me anyway, there is no reason for me to come out in a positive light.

Really.

That’s right, padding is mutually exchanged, and kind words are mutually exchanged, so shouldn’t it be natural that the same should be true for shitty words?

“…Are you doing this on purpose? Or do you know everything?”

“Which one? Maybe yes, maybe no.”

And as a bonus, these kind of vague remarks are good for encouraging the other person to get angry.

In particular, he is the type of person who exposes all the secrets he has been hiding.

From here on, the shit numbers are reaching MAX and finally,

“…Ha-“

And then I take a deep breath.

I too grinned and smiled-

Pakang!!!

I throw Paris away, pull Carol in, and use the hammer to block and deflect the spears rushing towards me, as well as the spears of Hector, who came at me with a long sword made into a spear by extending the handle.

Hector and I deflected each other’s weapons and bounced off, forming a line on the ground about 1m away, and Hector looked at me in bewilderment.

“…Huh? What are you? You say you’re a wizard, but what kind of power do you have?”

It’s scary.

And it’s sharp.

Different from Leeds, pressure due to the incredible speed. And an attack that satisfied both the thrust and slash of the spear.

It’s heavy.

And it’s powerful.

Of course, I speak from my perspective, having beaten down such powerful attacks with the hammer countless times.

“You’re worse than Liz.”

Then, I lifted his hand and spoke to him.

“Let’s see here how high the prestige of [Hector the Manhunter] Is. It wouldn’t have been a bad idea to fight you instead of making Paris pay, right? Surely, there’s no point in pointing a weapon at you first and then running away in fear?”

Of course there isn’t.

If you’ve lost your temper like this and don’t attack, are you a bastard?

Kwaaaaa!!!

“Don’t let her rip out that tongue.”

“Try it. If you can.”

“If you say one more word-“

“One word~”

“You son of a bitch.”

Do you know what?

In the first place, fighting isn’t about winning.

I’m telling you to get upset.
