Chapter 95 – 95. Return of the Empress (9)

Edward Pantalone.

He was very troubled by the situation before him.

No, Kang Ho-jun is in great trouble here and now.

He said he had kidnapped his younger sisters, but all the troops saw the kidnapper confidently walking in with his ‘little sister’.

Gold sun.

And next to him is Elizabeth Pantalone.

And they even captured the elves who had attacked them and Nito just now and brought them back. And as soon as he sees Geumtaeyang, Nito also faces him with a serious face.

And Elizabeth is on her own.

Hojun Kang, wearing Edward Pantalone’s skin, is the younger sister of the original owner of his body. She was breaking into a cold sweat as she looked at Elizabeth.

This is a lion.

You are standing in front of a lion, and the lion can bite you to death at any time. Even if Nito was there, he inevitably knew that he would die.

“Should I say it’s been a while? Or should I say, Nice to meet you, Margrave ‘Vice’?”

“…What do you want to say, Elizabeth?”

And Kang Ho-jun, who didn’t notice Elizabeth’s eyes narrowing, continued talking to her.

“Your attitude towards this brother is still disrespectful.”

“…Irreverence, disrespect… And still? Hehe. Hehe-“

And Elizabeth covers her mouth and giggles. Naturally, since he couldn’t understand the meaning of it, he felt a sense of fear in his heart, so of course he continued talking to Elizabeth.

“What’s so funny?”

“First of all, let me say, ‘Brother,’ the Margrave, please come down now. I am back, and you can stop now.”

“I refuse. Why should I do that? You were already dead in the first place. I am the margrave of this border, and now you are trying to usurp the position I took-“

“…Even if I give you the chance to buy this, you can’t figure out how to buy it. You stupid human.”

And was that the moment when I felt that Elizabeth’s tone of voice changed?

The shield unfolds momentarily.

The one that previously protected it from the Black Guardian Warrior of Elven Haim.

However, the shield was torn off surprisingly easily, and Nito, who was right next to him, kicked Kang Ho-jun and dodged him in his tracks.

Of course, the fact that my foot got cut off in the meantime was a bonus.

A severed foot.

And Elizabeth was seen casually picking it up again with her magic and attaching it back to her own leg.

And the golden sun next to it.

Then he stood up and spoke to Nito.

“What are you doing?”

It’s merciless.

Naturally, Elizabeth was the last to tell him to step back, but she ignored the warning and swung her great sword at the bastard in front of her, trying to split it, but she failed.

Immediately after kicking him with his foot and deflecting him away from there, he used magic to drag the foot that had been cut off by Elizabeth’s great sword, picked it up again, and attached it to the cut surface.

Soon she took a deep breath and spoke.

“…It’s really driving me crazy to have Pak-head next to me. Even though I know everything is going to end, if I just hold on and the only thing left is half-grilled pork, why are you doing this?”

“First of all, I ask you again. What are you doing?”

First of all, Carnesia confirmed that his name was [Nito], And that he was an Elven Mage who had direct contact with the Queen of Elven Haim and served as a duke there. Naturally, Carnesia said that she had no intention of winning even if she fought this thing, so she ran away without hesitation.

Yeah, she definitely got away with it.

And I was able to recognize that she was essentially like me. And at the same time, she looked at me and immediately smiled and said.

“Ah, yes, Clark Dawn Bringer… You are called Clark Dawn Bringer now. You are the child of Marcus Dawn Bringer. In addition, you are also the child of ‘Nebula’. “

Nebula.

Yes, that’s definitely my mother’s name. This being, who had obviously never seen her before, knows her mother’s name. A name that is not well known to anyone. Even so, my father and I know my mother’s name.

At that point, I could see that this was a monster bigger than I could imagine.

“…Hehe, why are you looking at monsters like that, Clark? You’re a monster too.”

“…”

And to that Elizabeth speaks. The way he looked at me and refuted the idea that I was a monster.

But what should I do with this?

As she said, I am a monster.

“Put it away, elf. Clark is not a monster.”

“No? Hmm? Maybe? Isn’t it really~?”

Nito, an elven mage with platinum-colored hair and blue eyes, is giggling with a disgusted expression. I also know that this is not just an Elven Mage, but a cosmic being whose identity is hidden.

I also know that stars exist.

“Then why doesn’t Clark refute this? Have you thought about it?”

“…No matter what you say, it doesn’t change that Clark is Clark.”

And soon after, they call her Kanf, thinking she is a normal elf, but she is the most alien and shitty being here, to the point where Kanf is better.

If you meet an enemy, you are truly a shitty being.

“Ah, are you finally throwing away the rules of etiquette? It’s just a hassle to fight in a noble manner. After all, fighting has always been like that, and the madness of your intelligent beings has always been expressed in that way. Now, Clark. Should I say something or will you say- “

Kwaduk!!

And then he picks up the hammer and throws it towards the snout. A face that becomes crushed and shattered in an instant.

And when the hammer is retrieved again, the distorted and shattered face begins to heal surprisingly quickly. And-

“Ah…Really, you damn bastard. I’m talking, but there’s no point in hitting like that?“

“…What is this?”

“A long time ago, Magia’s star mage. It’s a simple story about a mage who was loved by the stars, ‘The Margrave.'”

“…!”

This is none other than my father’s story.

A story my father told me.

“The Star Mage. Marcus Dawn Bringer. He was almost killed by his own father, and through his contract, he made the Star Being kill his father instead.”

The words of the father who confessed that he was unable to kill him with his own hands, so he resorted to the power of the existence of stars to achieve mental victory.

“And as a result, he becomes the father of two children, and at the same time, a being is born who will eat the father’s existence. That is how it ends. That was the father’s fate.”

The detailed story, the story about the contract.

“…Clarke?”

“He copulated with two stars that fell from the sky, one with deep darkness, and the other with beings who were symbols of dense fog, and the result was a bastard for the fog and a black goat for the darkness. Those two damned things. “They disappeared, leaving their child in the care of just one man.”

And the energy of soul spark in the hammer in my hand. He pointed at Nito, whose face was severely distorted after being hit directly by it.

“…I am one of them, the Margrave. I can’t say anything else. I could become an enemy of the people you are trying to protect, and one day you may have to kill me.”

It could be the opposite. Of course, if that happens, all that remains is a bloody fight.

“Yes, the death of the Star Mage. I was involved in Marcus’ death from beginning to end. Naturally, a reincarnated person took over my father’s body, and the object he took out left me dying, and the [Beast] Inside me at that time “I woke up. And as a result – I ate my father, causing him to die.”

Of course, if I’m going to say this, I have to say it.

“Also, you fucking bitch. If I had said it, I would have said it. Why are you talking so loudly, bitch?”

“…How dare you insult me, a brat who doesn’t even know who you are?“

“Hey? The young people like you are fucking funny.

Other than my sister, Nia, and Lucy, I met another star.

And the fierce malice that comes from this.

A sense of unreasonable malice was attacking me, and of course I knew what it felt like.

“I don’t know you, but you know me and are ‘jealous’. What are you? What are you opening your eyes like when you look at me?”

“Ha? I don’t know? What kind of person do you enjoy such extravagance as?…K■■■■■■aaaaa■■■■!!!!“`

I’m going to fall in love!!!

Kwaaaaa!!

Using the Soul Spark he learned from Dick, he approaches Neato and punches him. It breaks through the wall and falls, and is thrown into a large space. A gauntlet held in the right hand.

I look at the gauntlet that Machina-sensei modified.

I like it.

I modified it just enough for my own use, but her modifications seem to have literally been optimized and were conscious of ease of expansion. Seeing that she left empty cartridges here and there to apply magic engineering, it is expected that instant strengthening or modification will be possible.

Of course, if you leave this here, there will be more problems.

“Margrave, leave your brother’s affairs to you.”

Saying that, I break the wall to the left and chase after Nito, who was thrown into the yard of the Margrave’s Mansion.

Elizabeth won’t be outdone by such an inferior reincarnation. Of course I won’t lose. I don’t know what cheat that reincarnated person has, but-

Elizabeth would take it very easily.

“Don’t kill me. There’s a lot to find out.”

“…Clarke, I told you. Call me Elizabeth.”

“…Then I’ll ask you a favor. [Margrave].”

Emphasizing that again, I just leave.

Maybe I was afraid to reveal this to Elizabeth. That’s why I wanted to leave, and of course Gawain sensed with my intuition what my physical condition was, but since he had already become a demon, we were just like each other. So I had no choice but to move on.

It’s time for her to get back to her own routine, and she shouldn’t be tangled up in me anymore.

Okay.

I still get the feeling that she isn’t disappointed in me, but is simply annoyed.

Still, this is it.

…

She shouldn’t hang out with the monster bastard who ate her baby’s father.

And she steps in front of it.

Nito’s shattered face, which was thrown outside after being hit by me, is slowly being regenerated.

It’s a grotesque sight, but since I’ve already seen an abyss even bigger than this, I’m so shocked that I vomit and can’t even sleep.

You just get used to it.

“Ha, really. This damn kid. What are you filming a melodrama now? Since you are just like me, do you think you can live entangled in this world? Don’t be ridiculous, Clark. You are a monster So…You have to play with monsters. Isn’t it?“

A faint remnant visible behind Nito’s body. And a huge tentacle stem can be seen between the remnants. And it has a mouth and eyes.

The bleeding tongue can be seen shaking and writhing.

It is a shimmering sight so bizarre that anyone would go crazy immediately upon seeing it. And it is such a powerful mental attack that even I, who saw it through, felt quite mentally fatigued.

“I’m glad you know that you’re a monster. I was worried about what I would do if I got annoyed by someone I didn’t know.”

“But it looks like you don’t know that you’re a monster. Why are you still wearing a human shell? Otherwise, if you still do that, the father you killed. No – you think you can remember your [Host]?“

Host. Of course, I’m talking about my father.

And the resemblance between my father and I is almost striking. The only difference is skin color. And it was probably because of that contract that my father had no choice but to be eaten and killed by me.

Yes, as Nito says.

I was using my father as a host, and since I ate it, I have now become a star and began to function in earnest.

And his appearance is exactly like that of his father.

Well.

Perhaps this is the reason why I cannot even like Medea, and it is also a figure that I cannot abandon.

…That’s right.

This was the only way to live with the sins I committed in mind.

“Why would you do that after eating so well? You chewed all the bones so deliciously that you now say you miss them? Wow, wow – to think that you can actually revive something by eating it and spitting it out again. You guys are so much fun. To deteriorate the existence of a star like this in such an interesting way.“

And Nito’s eyes open. Blue eyes begin to turn purple.

And I sense the same power from this guy as Dick, but obviously in a completely different direction.

If Dick is a rough and destructive feeling, this is a subtle, slowly destroying force. Naturally, the momentary destructive power hit me, but it was not a big blow as I was able to withstand it with the strong regenerative power of that unique being.

“Marcus.. Haha, this is why I really should have killed that idiot a long time ago. Look, you know the existence of the ‘monster’ inside you, but you try to hide it and hide it, right? So, do you think that will help you protect the people around you? No~ no. To do that, you have to use it better and accept yourself. Now, follow what ‘aunt’ says. If you get hugged by your aunt from now on, I will forgive your rudeness.“

“There’s a famous saying. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it.”

And I read its name.

No, just recognizing it makes me feel so tired that my mind is about to collapse. But I still call it.

If you can’t even properly call this son of a bitch who called you, laughed at your father, and insulted his death, then what kind of son is that?

What a son his father is proud of!

“Ny-arlatho-tep“

And the pain that felt like my head was going to break came over me. Of course, even though my head felt like it was going to break, I did my best to look at it with all my might so as not to get smashed.
