Chapter 1616 – 98. Kill Until You Die.

Cooooo ooooo

The Marquis of Bourbons, who boasted of overwhelming force against the Gryphon Knights, lost his head and began to collapse.

“Just one for now.”

And a light murmur penetrates my ears.

There was no emotion buried in that recitation.

Feeling relieved that the surprise attack was successful

Excitement about defeating the enemy

Elation of victory

Nothing

I just feel indifference, as if it’s just a natural thing

“…”

The 5th Prince, Jerome Leorde, who was watching that indifferent appearance, was completely entranced.

It was because I couldn’t believe the sight that unfolded before my eyes.

The one who lost his head and broke on the floor

Who is the Marquis of Bourbons?

Not only the Imperial Swordmaster who reached mastery, Viscount Randberg

Wasn’t he an extra-standard superpower who annihilated all of the Gryphon Knights, the pride of the Leorde Empire, with a single sword strike?

How can you destroy a monster that even Agnes, who can be said to be the Empire’s strongest force, can handle or not with just one sword strike?

It just didn’t feel real.

So much so that I thought it might be a dream

‘…Isn’t it really a dream?…Or a vision you see right before you die…’

Pinch

“Ahhhhh.!”

I thought it wasn’t a dream.

A vivid pain was felt in the pinched cheek

‘…What Agnes said was true…’

Agnes said.

The man before my eyes has the power to destroy the empire

You should never do something that goes against your will

Jerome snorted inwardly at her words

Common sense suggests that a mere individual can control national power

There is no way that he can handle the enormous power of the empire alone.

It’s just a show to boost up those close to you.

That’s what I thought

But now I know.

The fact that what she said is the truth without a single lie

In truth, he is an absolute power that overwhelms even the national power.

‘…I didn’t say anything wrong, right?…I didn’t laugh…Didn’t I make a mocking face?…Perhaps…I…Did something sarcastic. Did you do something?…Did you do something that offended you?.’

Jerome’s expression began to darken infinitely.

The moment I felt that overwhelming force

This was because anxiety soared like a flood.

I wonder if I may have done something against my will

She wondered if she might be doing herself a disservice

‘…When I think about it…I think I made a cocky expression…I think I glared at him with a very belittling look…I said I was wrong… Should I get down on my knees and beg for you? Should I give you gold and silver treasures?… Or should I offer you Agnes as my wife…’

Odol Odol Odol

Jerome was so scared that he began to tremble like an aspen tree and think of ways to make up for his rudeness.

Burning the will to live

To survive somehow.

“Hey.”

At that time, the man’s voice penetrated my ear.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I went off topic! I was wrong! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please don’t kill me! I’m only sixteen. It didn’t work!… It’s too early to die like this!… Ugh!”

Hail porridge

Jerome began by those words and immediately put his head down and began to cry and beg.

Please save me

Please don’t die

I’m too young to die like this

“I’ll give you gold and silver treasures!…I…Have many top-class artifacts!!…If you want…I’ll take Agnes as your wife!…So.. .Please…Please…Your life. But…Just my life…”

The 5th prince’s heartbreaking plea began to echo throughout the palace.

“I don’t know what you’re mistaken about, but just calm down. I have no intention of killing you.”

Seeing Jerome like that, Seon-woo made a bewildered expression.

I ran to you and saved your life, but instead of thanking you, you begged for my life.

What on earth is this?

“Really? Are you really not going to kill me?”

Jerome looked at Seon-woo’s gaze and asked back.

Is there really no lie in those words?

“Ah, it’s true.”

“Even though I… Looked at you cheekily?… You snorted and laughed at me?…”

“I don’t even remember.”

I’ve never even looked closely.

There was no way I could remember.

Whaaaaa. Aaaaa. Aaaaa aaaaah
?

As soon as he finished saying those words, Jerome started to turn bright red.

This was because he felt shame and embarrassment at the fact that he had taken advantage of her fear and begged for her life.

“Wake up.”

“…Yes..”

Jerome slowly stood up.

Wow

“Huh!”

At that moment, a strong shock began to pound his head.

This was because Sunwoo hit him on the top of his head with a stone-like fist.

“Uuuuu…Uh..Why..”

Jerome looked at him with tearful eyes and asked back.

That was because he couldn’t understand why he suddenly hit his head.

“This is the price you pay for selling your sister to save your life.”

“…I really… Think it suits you well…”

Jerome began to make excuses out of embarrassment.

“Are you going to hit me again?”

“…I’m sorry.”

“Apologise properly to Agnes later.”

“…Yes..”

Jerome lowered his head and agreed.

Normally, he would have gotten angry and said he had done something wrong out of pride, but he just couldn’t do that.

At least in front of a man named Jang Seon-woo.

“Yes, you listen well.”

Pat pat

Sunwoo stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jerome’s head.

Still, it was because I didn’t feel at all disgusted by the young guy’s recognition and quick acceptance.

“…”

Jerome, feeling somewhat embarrassed by that unstoppable touch, lowered his head.

Stroking the head

Clearly acting as if you are being treated as a subordinate

Normally, it would have been normal for the royal family to feel displeased because of their loss of face, but now I didn’t feel that much displeasure.

This was because he clearly recognized the man in front of him as someone higher than himself, the prince.

“…Some of the knights are still alive, so take responsibility and save them.”

“…Yes…Yes!”

“Then I’m going.”

“Yes!? Uh..Where..?”

They have not yet been given proper compensation for saving their lives.

But where on earth are you going in such a hurry?

“You’re not the only one in danger.”

The energy of Bourbons was still wafting from all four places.

There is no time to waste.

Whiik

After finishing speaking, Sunwoo turned around without any hesitation.

“..Hey, just a moment!”

Jerome shouts urgently at the sight behind him.

Seuuk

Seonwoo only slightly turned his head and gave him a look.

“…Can I call you brother?”

Was he embarrassed even while saying it?

Jerome’s face turned red.

“Do whatever you want”

Papad

Soon after, Sunwoo’s new model disappeared without a trace.

As if it never existed from the beginning

“Hehe…Brother Sunwoo…”

Jerome gazed wistfully at the place where Sunwoo had disappeared.

Light radiated from those eyes.

The strong light called longing

**************

So bad

The empty space split apart and a woman began to walk out.

The most noble and strong woman in the empire

Agnes Leorde appeared at Parmeden Palace, where the 2nd Prince resides.

Warlock

Agnes, who appeared, frowned at her pretty face.

This was because a truly terrifying scene unfolded before my eyes.

Pile of corpses piled up like a mountain

Blood flowing like an overflowing river

Even the flames burning so fiercely that they seem to devour everything

The Parmeden Palace, which was infinitely beautiful in my memories, did not remain at all.

Only a place of terrible massacre remains

‘…Bourbons..’

Udeuk

Agnes gritted her teeth

This was because of the growing anger towards the Marquis of Bourbons, the culprit of all these tragedies.

‘I can’t forgive.’

The precious people of the empire

The Empire’s precious assets

They trample it so mercilessly

How can one calm one’s anger?

‘…Where are you! Where is it!’

I looked around and started looking for traces of the Marquis de Bourbon.

To hold those responsible for this terrible tragedy

‘There it is.’

And soon I could feel it.

The powerful energy of Bourbons radiating not far away

Kwaaaaang

She vigorously stamped her feet and bounced her body.

And she started shooting rapidly.

.

.

.

.

.

“Is this all it takes?”

The Marquess of Bourbon held his sword at the neck of the 2nd Prince, Maximus, and took her mouth away.

“Ugh…”

Maximus, who was on his knees with one of his arms amputated, looked up at him with indignant eyes.

“I’m feeling dizzy. I thought there was something when you were running at me with such momentum.”

“Don’t shame me anymore, kill me! You bastard!”

“If I beg, are you willing to let me live?”

“Bullshit! I am the honorable prince of the Leord Empire! Do you really want to begin for your life!”

Maximus glared at him with bloodshot eyes and shouted.

“It’s truly unreasonable, to throw your life away for mere honor.”

Bourbons shook his head as if he couldn’t understand.

“Well, if you want, there’s nothing I can’t do.”

And he began to raise his sword high in the sky.

As if I would cut it down at any moment

“Die!”

Hwiik

Then he swung his sword without a moment of hesitation.

“Even if you kill me, you won’t be able to break my strong will!”

Maximus faced the sword proudly.

Without even blinking an eye.

Truly a moment of despair

-Blade Tornado

A storm of extremely compressed blades began pouring down Burvans toward the heart.

“Quaaaaa!!”

Lovely love

At that moment, Bourbons’ body began to fly quickly backwards.

This was because he could not handle the strong physical force digging into his chest.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwaang

Before long, the wall collapsed and he was trapped there.

It literally happened in an instant.

“…What the hell is this.”

Maximus, who had been saved from death, looked around him with a puzzled expression.

And he soon found out.

The highest power of the Leord Empire

The pride of Leorde’s empire

Agnes Léord

“Agnes, I see you came.”

Maximus opened his mouth with an expression of emotion.

“…You’re hurt a lot.”

Agnes, who had already reached the corner, looked at him with a sympathetic expression.

Nowhere was Maximus healthy.

The whole body his was covered in blood

The area below his left shoulder was completely amputated and he was crippled.

I couldn’t help but feel pity.

Your blood relatives will suffer permanent, irreparable damage

“Don’t make that face, I’m just satisfied with saving my life..”

Maximus opened his mouth in a calm tone.

For someone who lost an arm, he looked very calm.

Seeing that calm appearance, Agnes felt her heart ache.

He wish he had been faster

He wished he had been prepared

This was because he felt guilty that he could have saved him.

At that time, when I was feeling guilty and pity for Maximus

“Kwaaah! You damn bitch!”

Burvans, who had been pinned against a wall in the distance, began to raise his body violently and scream.

Despite being hit directly by a large-scale magic that could pierce even a large rock in an instant, he managed to get upright.

“…I’ll take charge from now on. Please stay away, brother.”

Agnes glared at him sharply and removed his her mouth her her her her.

“No, I will also do my best, Agnes.”

“Right now, you are nothing but a burden to me! Go quickly!”

Agnes shouted and raised her voice.

Sword Master who lost an arm

Objectively, it wasn’t very helpful.

Rather, it is a situation that is more likely to become a burden and have a disadvantage.

It would be a much better choice to evacuate and receive treatment

“…I understand, I will follow your wishes.”

In the end, Maximus shook his head in agreement with the shouting.

As if he recognized the fact that he was nothing more than a burden

“…Please be careful.”

“Your brother too.”

After saying goodbye briefly, the siblings went their separate ways.

Agnes turned to Bourbons, who had stood up with a stern expression.

Maximus headed outside the Parmeden Palace with a mean smile on his face.

************

Bernheim Palace

The place where the 3rd prince, Resimus lives

Seonwoo frowned.

It was because I was able to face it the moment I arrived.

3rd Prince Resimus, whose head was already pierced by the tip of a sword

I was in a hurry, but I was in a hurry

It’s already too late.

“It’s too late, isn’t it? Jang Seon-woo.”

The person who pierced his head

The new Marquis of Bourbons smirked and mocked.

As if we couldn’t protect it in the end

“Instead, it will be as fast as lightning to kill you! Verbans!”

Papad

Sunwoo stamped his foot.

At that moment, the new model disappeared like smoke.

Papad

And it appeared right in front of the Marquis of Bourbons.

With its extreme leg strength, it surpassed the initial speed and arrived right in front of his nose in an instant.

Whiiiiing

Soon, Seonwoo struck his sword like a thunderbolt.

Just like before, to smash his head in one go

Kaaaaang

And then an unexpected event occurred.

Verbans’ sword deflected Seonwoo’s sword strike like a thunderbolt.

“…Stop this?”

Sunwoo widened his eyes as if he was slightly surprised.

It was a powerful blow that I had not been able to deal with until then.

But how can you react and even accept it?

How can you not be surprised?

“You’re complacent. How long did you think you’d get the same number?”

Bourbons began to wear his characteristic arrogant smile.

“I am the arrogant one, Bourbons. I have long since seen through and destroyed your obvious tricks!”

“It’s terrible.”

Kwaaaaang

Sunwoo just kicked his foot up.

“Ugh..”

Then, Bourbons’ new model was pushed to the back and the distance began to widen in an instant.

Seokgeuk

Sunwoo did not miss the opportunity

He quickly swung his sword and cut off its head.

Tuk

Degurrrr

Soon, the arrogant Bourbons’ head started rolling on the floor.

He ended up dying again.

Hehe… How could this have been possible… Yes… I definitely… Remember… Jang Seon-woo…”

Even though his head was cut off, Bourbons did not shut his mouth.

They just laugh and make fun of me

Kwazizizik

But it wasn’t long before we were met with forced silence.

This was because Sunwoo trampled on his head and blew it open.

‘Is this a power that becomes stronger as one dies?’

I was able to infer it to some extent.

The fact that Burvans’ power is deeply related to death

The more you kill, the more you learn and become stronger.

‘Then the solution is simple.’

Kill until you die.

A truly simple and clear solution

‘… Let’s give it a try, Bourbons.’

Sunwoo’s eyes sparkled sharply.
