Chapter 391 – 390. Capital Road (11)

“…I’ve been incarcerated for ten years.”

Gawain strokes her chest. And next to her, Hector clicks his tongue.

“I understand that they were close comrades in arms, but in Frisia, they were dukes. So please be careful with your words from now on.”

“I never thought I’d hear it from over there.”

“I’m saying you shouldn’t even do it that way in the first place. If Phrygia was fine, there would be plenty of knights here who would request a duel with you. Including Arash next to me.”

“…!”

It’s terrible.

Knowing how strong he is, he either fights him or gives chase while taking arrows from him.

There is nothing more terrible than that.

“…Clark saved your life just now, Gawain. And if you insult the Pantalone family in front of me one more time, it won’t end like this.”

Arash says so quietly, and Gawain nods his head.

Well, when they were alone, they called it a gorilla or something.

Well, who can hear that? What I had to do was big, but…

…

Was it then?

“…This is an urgent report. Could you tell me where Mr. Clark is?”

Not long after a day has passed, a messenger with a breathless expression appears in Carlos Territory. And a messenger arrives where they are.

There is no Clark.

No-

Coincidentally, the [Parties] Involved in it are here.

“Currently, [Gareth] And [Gaheris], Who were in the POW camp, have escaped from prison!!!!”

“…!!!!!”

Gawain immediately grabs the messenger by the collar.

“Now, where are those two?”

“…It is confirmed that the person who infiltrated inside helped escape, and the knight of Camelot, Percival…”

Sir Percival.

He invaded here to rescue Gareth and Gaheris.

And-

“…The prison was destroyed, and Leonidas, who tried to stop him, was injured. And, currently, they are on their way to Vergina-“

And now that Gawain has heard the destination, he lets go of the messenger’s collar. And Arash dissuades Hector, who tries to stop Gawain from hearing this.

“Let me go.”

“But-!”

“…It’s a family matter. Even you can’t keep calm about family matters, so it’s absurd to ask him for that, Hector. And, Gawain, if you’re going to go now, remember one thing.”

“…What is it?”

“This is your last chance. I hope you don’t make me shoot my employer’s friend with a bow.”

…

Nothing comes to my ears.

I moved them to Spartal because I heard that if they were left in the labyrinth for a long time, they could be influenced by me.

Coincidentally, Percival infiltrated and allowed the two to escape.

…

And, what the current Guinevere would do-

“…I’ll see you in Vergina.”

After gathering his weapons and armor, Gawain was quickly trying to escape from the territory of Carlos-

Ilias was waiting.

It’s like telling me to take Pegasus and ride it.

The Heavenly Demon she gave to herself.

He showed it to me and told me to ride it.

“Go. You have to protect what you have to protect.”

“…I’m sorry. I’ll say hello later…!!!”

With only those words left, Gawain kicked his horse’s back and Pegasus flew into the sky at high speed, accelerating.

Hee hee-

With the sound of horses neighing, Gawain was quickly flying towards Vergina.

-The Underworld of Uruk-

“…What brings you here, Mortus? If you have nothing to do, I would like you to leave.”

“Tsk, I wish you were a little more cute. Because you look cute, but your actions aren’t cute.”

“My appearance is natural, not for anyone to find cute.”

The woman sees Mortus coming up next to her, stroking her hair and playing with her cheek.

The woman’s hair was like gold, and the color of her eyes was red. She was the same color as the eyes of the Uruk gods, and in black robes she sat on the throne of the ruler of the Underworld, where she guarded her underworld, Ereshkikal, queen of the underworld.

She was Ishtar’s older sister.

“It looks like Ishtar has had an accident again.”

“That crazy bitch really is.”

Ereshkikal spits out like that, and Mortus also presses his eyebrows.

It’s extremely annoying.

The movement of souls between worlds, the movement of death.

In other words, it is an invasion of her own territory.

Nodence did it with his permission and caused a mess, and he said he was taking care of it and told him not to do it anymore, but he did it again.

It’s none other than killing his successor.

“Do you know my successor? Golden Sun. Clark Dawn Bringer. And… Yog-Sothoth.”

“Are you really going to make that monster the Minister of Death?”

“Because I want to do that. And, I follow the rules well. In fact, if I set it as a rule, I will follow it better than you.”

“…Then I have no complaints. As long as you follow the rules.”

“Well, if there’s something to break, I’ll definitely pay the price for it.”

“…”

“Ah, don’t look at me like that. Still, it’s unlikely to happen. But, it’s time to make you pay for it. You, let’s go to the surface.”

“I mean, are you crazy, Mortus?”

Ereshkical answers, and Mortus clicks his tongue inwardly.

Of course, it’s not like we don’t know what happens if the God of the List goes to earth.

But…

“That idiot didn’t do anything once or twice, did he?”

“If I leave, the poor souls who will be left here will-“

“Don’t worry. From now on, following Acheron, your soul will be thrown straight into the River of Souls.

“The referee is-“

“…Judgment. From a position that has already used everything as a means, there is [Indulgence] Who pretends to be free to wield the soul as he pleases. Because of him, the underworld should not exist.”

“…Are you saying they will take my soul as they please?”

“리베르타스. 그 개새끼 때문에 하는 필요한 조치야. 게다가… 이제 신대는, 끝낼때도 됐잖아?”

It should be so.

…

She simply followed the orders of her superiors and was faithful to her position as Queen of the Underworld.

However, those who deny their duties.

And even the younger sister who disturbs order and makes a fuss.

…

And, suffering humans.

More and more bitter human souls continued to flow into the underworld.

And because I dragged them around as I wanted.

“It’s my territory from now on. If you touch that territory, you’ll fight me directly. Only those who aren’t afraid of it or have no choice but to do so anyway will use their hands. Judgment and rest… But now, souls. For me, the only way left is for our fight to end.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

“Well, do you think you would be a good match for Geumtaeyang?”

“…”

“So, I’m going to marry you off.”

“…Yes?”

“…Actually, that’s what I’m aiming for, but if I descend to the earth like this, all living things on that planet will die.”

“…Hey, since you can’t eat, you’re telling me to line up for you-“

“That’s it. Put some spit on it.”

“This crazy old woman is real.”

“Why!!! You look pretty and cute, you behave wisely, and you follow the rules! You’re kind! And you’re not crazy at all, so what’s so bad about you?”

“Are you crazy to put a needle on me just because you can’t eat?”

“I asked you if this was really true, so let’s see what you’re saying. Anyway, it’s going to be connected to the Acheron River, so get out of here, you bastard!”

“Who are you calling me a slob!? If being faithful to one’s duty means being a slouch, apologize to the office workers around the world who are dying from overwork!!”

“Oh, that’s true too. Sorry~”

“Are you really telling me to do that again?!”

“You tell me to do it, ddppang.”

“Bad, ddppang!?”

This is what Clark says, and it sticks in my mouth.

Well, anyway, all he does is demolish the underworld, and of course he has already thrown the souls here into the river of souls.

The afterlife, the underworld, no longer exists.

So-

The god of the underworld who follows him well.

He brings out Ereshkikal.

And there was someone who came to stop it.

Balor.

It was Balor of Sarn, but soon he too had to step back.

That’s right, if you get caught in the hands of that minister, you will die even if Libertas is there.

I never would have thought that a minister would personally go around demolishing the underworld, but the underworld was far from the gods’ sight, and all a minister disappointed by the gods could do was to ban all actions that involve dealing with souls and using them. That was all.

“Get out. The Underworld is closed.”

“…You’re acting so quickly.”

“Because this is the only thing that damned son of a bitch will do. I’ll tell you in advance, if you go in there, you have to be prepared to get ripped off. It’s my territory, and even Libertas can’t get out if he goes in there.”

“…Let me step aside. But, this won’t be the end.”

“Of course. You would rather be torn apart by [Yog-Sothoth] Than die by my hands.”

“In the end, don’t you just call an agent instead of punishing yourself?”

“So, what is a puppet? I can’t hear it because it’s a puppet?”

He is waving his hand at the demon Balor, telling him to go away.

The reason why Balor doesn’t attack here, no, the reason he can’t attack.

Libertas, who noticed the situation in the underworld of Uruk through his eyes, forbade any attack.

A glorious death.

Under!

Really.

That doesn’t mean anything anymore.

It doesn’t mean anything at all.

Oh no, no matter what.

“…”

As Balor disappears, Ereshkical also stands up.

“Have you made up your mind?”

“Seeing how a demon god who should have died a long time ago is still alive and running around, I guess this is something I need to do. What about Hades? What about Anubis and the other gods of the underworld?”

“It’s all gone and it’s just you.”

?

What did you say?

Before I even said that.

Mortus answered Ereshkical with a very cold look.

“…”

“That’s it. I know all the rules like crap. I’m asking you to kill me, but shouldn’t I kill you instead of death?”

If you ask them why they killed them, they will confidently say that they broke the rules, and instead of actually killing them if they break the rules. So the truth behind that statement is 100%.

The reason I like Yog-Sothoth… Is because he follows the rules.

But how long can he keep it?

So he needs to test himself too.

Is he someone you can trust?

Whether he can follow the rules or not.

“However, regarding [Yog-Sothoth], I will personally look at it and decide whether to cooperate or act separately. It will be convenient for that as well.”

“…Well, wouldn’t it be better if we stayed together?”

“…?”

“No, that’s because it’s good to have at least one normal person.”

He is-

A normal person is a very hungry man.

That’s all.

“There are so many things around you that you need to pay attention to, but at the same time, you follow the rules well. Trust me once, pretend to be deceived, and meet me…”

“You know that this situation arose because you were playing around like a dog in the first place, right?”

“Hey, don’t peck me.”

“The pect is there to be stabbed, so I will stab it without mercy. Like an iron skewer.”

Mortus clicks his tongue, saying that I have raised a tiger cub.

The same goes for Orcus, and the same goes for Ereshkical.

The only thing that can help you properly is the people you have chosen.

The world is ironic, really.
