Chapter 238 – Chapter 24

The first thing Kaicent felt after regaining consciousness was the heat that seemed to make his body ripe.

“Ah… Uh…”
“Above!”
“Master!”

Upon regaining consciousness, Kaicent groped his arm in the direction of the voice calling him.

“Seolyoung…Ahti…”
“We are here.”
“I’m guarding you.”

Feeling relieved by the voices of Dang Seol-young and Artie gently holding her hand, her throat began to burn.

“No…Water…Cold water…”
“Here it is.”

Artie, who was preparing for this situation, stuck out the beak of the kettle to the corner of her mouth to make it easier to eat.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

My throat was swaying loudly, and the cold water ran down my esophagus and cooled my overheated body.

“Lillian…? What happened after I passed out…?”

Kaicent, who had cooled his thirst and heated body to some extent, was more concerned about whether Lillian had captured the people properly.

‘It would be nice to whine like a child…’

Dang Seol-young felt sorry for Kaicent, who had matured early.

But even that was short-lived.

If only the current hardships were resolved and the country was regained, then Kaicent would hardly step forward.

Even if you help, Artemis will take care of everything on her own.

“After the high school lord passed out…”

Tang Seol-yeong, who wished for Kaicent to live a life worthy of a child, explained what happened after Kaicent passed out.

*                           *

“Above!!!”

Sensing Kaicent’s collapse, Dang Seol-yeong checked his condition.

‘It’s hot!’

I’m not kidding, my whole body is boiling, so steam is rising from my body.

“Kaisen…!”
-For a moment.-

Lillian also wanted to run to Kai Sent right away to check on him, but she heard Neledriel’s voice in her ear.

-Look around you.-

As the voice led me, I looked around.

There, the people who were embarrassed because they couldn’t keep up with the sudden situation were watching each other.

In addition, Kang Myeong-cheol summoned the people and fled, so people who do not know the situation continue to come.

– Nothing is more important than first impressions. The person who was their owner has run away, so you have to stay focused.-
“Kuu…”
-The king should be strong before arguing about good and evil, and the people follow him. What will the people think if you show weakness here?
“But Kaicent…”
-What can you do for me? Will it be resolved if everyone stamps their feet together?

Nelle Driel’s sober advice left Lillian speechless.

Not stopping there, she drove a wedge.

-That boy gave up revenge for your cause.-

Yes.
If Kai Sent had made up his mind, he would have pursued Kang Myung-cheol and killed him.

But he gave up vengeance to make it a little easier for him to rule his people.

If he showed weakness here, it would be like trampling on his resolve.

“Neredriel. Reveal yourself.”
-Good judgment.-

The ground rises and Neledriel is a pure white reindeer bigger than a horse.

Climbing on her back, Lillian headed to the podium Kang Myung-cheol had made.

“Priscilla. Kaicent.”
“Okay.”

Priscilla whispered to Dang Seol-young and took Kaicent to a safe place.

“Listen everyone!”

A voice filled with magic resounds.

The eyes of the people were drawn to the voice of Lillian riding on a reindeer with a mysterious atmosphere on a high platform.

“My name is Lillian Valen Prosteni! I am the princess and sole heir of the Luciarkenel royal family!”
“Princess Lillian?”
“Once the name is correct…”

She announced herself that she was the last direct descendant of the Lucy Arkenel royal family, but her people reacted in kind.

Because if you want to know the name, anyone can know it.

People living in the capital or nearby areas might not know her, but people far away had no way to know that she was really a princess.

“If you are the people of the Kingdom of Lucy Arkenel, you must have heard the legend of the country’s founding! That the first king received the help of a divine tree!”

So Lillian had to make everyone feel that she really was a princess.

Kururrrr—-

“What, what?”
“Hick!? Me, me, me, that!”

Suddenly, the sound of a huge army moving was heard, and the people who looked around found something.

Huge trees and countless beasts that became one army.

The people cowered in fear at the appearance that could only be described as an army of nature.

“As the successor to the kingdom of Lucy Arkenel, I made a new oath with the divine tree! That army is the proof!”
“That wasn’t a legend?”
“Those gigantic trees…!”
“Are you really Princess Lillian?”

The forces of nature continued to draw nearer this way,

“Stop!”

The movement stopped at Lillian’s command.

“Wow…”
“Oh oh…”

The people couldn’t help but exclaim at her command to stop moving like an elite soldier.

“Before signing the oath, I learned about the existence of the Liberation Army.”

Then, when the word liberation army came out, the faces of the people died.

Resentment toward Kang Myung-cheol, anger, and the fear suppressing those feelings.

“Originally, I was going to talk to the Liberation Army.
“Chi, do you handle it?”
“But a guy that strong…”
“Ah! Come to think of it, it looks like you ran away earlier!”
“Did he run away? That bastard?”

The story flowed quickly that Kang Myung-chul threw people as he ran away, and that the white kid caught them and dropped them off safely.

Confirming that enough news had been delivered, Lillian replied in a strong yet confident voice.

“Yes! He escaped after being attacked by us! Surprisingly, Kang Myeong-chul did a vicious thing by throwing you guys so that we couldn’t chase him!”
“No, that’s right!”
“You’re using us like that!”
“Damn it! Why do you believe that bastard’s words!”

When they learned that Kang Myung-cheol had run away, everyone vomited their dissatisfaction.

“No one oppresses you now! Everyone here is my people! You don’t have to live like this slavery anymore!”
“Waaaaa!”

Everyone cheered that Kang Myeong-cheol’s tyranny had disappeared.

Not simply cheers swept away by the atmosphere, but sincere cheers that come from the heart.

“I won’t ask much of you. Cultivate the land and laugh with your neighbours. That’s all I want.”
“Is that really all?”

At that time, a middle-aged man just asked if that was all.

It was because they thought that if they wanted to regain the kingdom from the vampires, they would ask them to make something or forcibly conscript them as soldiers.

“Yes. That’s all. You are my people. I will not sacrifice them against powerful vampires in vain.”
-If I could arm the ignorant idiots and defeat them, I would have done it a long time ago.-

Neledriel muttered as if it were natural.

Of course, her words were heard only by her Lillian, who lightly pressed the scruff of her neck to warn her not to distract her.

“I want to tell you to go back to your hometown right now, but it will take time to lift the curse on those tombstones, so stay here for a while.”
“Go, thank you!”
“Thank you very much, Princess!”

In addition to saving him from the tyranny of Kang Myeong-cheol, he did not want anything and even lifted the curse, so the people could not help but praise him.

“Everyone has endured well. It’s been hard for a while, so don’t think about anything and rest. No, let’s have a festival!”
“Whoaaaaa!”

At the word festival, the people embraced each other and rejoiced.

It means that he suffered from Kang Myeong-cheol’s rule.

– Kang Myung-cheol, I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking. He arms the powerless worms and drives them to the limb, but he treats the people he will rule so harshly .-
“So. I heard from the other servants that in the old world, he was a lord who ruled over a region. No matter how you look at it, he has no qualifications as a lord.”

Those who did not know that Kang Myung-cheol ruled with the skills related to the territory had no choice but to question his leadership ability, which was inferior to that of a novice lord.

“But I understand why the people were conscripted as soldiers.”
-What is that?-
“A spectator to show off his strength. Considering his disposition and behavior, this is the only answer.”
-Right. Is it to solidify dominance with overwhelming power?-

Although that overwhelming power was now pushed back by Kaicent.

“What about Kang Myeong-cheol?”
– Keep running away. So fast that my senses can’t keep up.-
“Can’t you stop it?”
-My ability weakens as I get further away from my body. Sooner or later it will run out of my senses-
“But why did only Kaicent end up like that when he used the same technique?”
-I guess I’ll have to check my body first.-

Lillian couldn’t hide her worry as she looked at Kai Sent, who passed out in the arms of Tang Seol-young.

“I’ll leave the rest up to you.”
“Arty?”
“I will go after him.”

Artie flew up with the power of the vanguard and was shot in the direction Kang Myung-cheol had fled at high speed.

*                           *

“…Until it was yesterday.”
“Haa…It’s good that people accepted Lillian’s rule…”

After listening to Dang Seol-young’s explanation, Kaicent lost his strength and buried himself in the bed.

“Sorry, master. I tracked it down but lost it.”
“It’s okay. It’s because of my mistake. Even if I didn’t say that I would avenge myself and Seol-yeong alone…”
“Killing is better, but in a way, it might be the best revenge for Kang Myung-cheol.”
“Huh?”

When Tang Xueying said that running away was the best revenge, he tilted his head.

“We had to flee because we were afraid of his power. And while we wanted revenge on him, fear remained in our hearts.”
“It was.”
“But now it’s the opposite. He fled in fear of the power of the sky. That was reversed by an opponent who was weaker than himself. There could be no humiliation greater than this for him, who was a proud warrior.”
“…Ha. Haha. Haha! That’s right! Now he has a fear of me! Cool! Cool!”
“Above!”
“It’s okay… It’s okay… Whoa…”

Kaicent, who burst into laughter intoxicated with the sense of victory, had to relax his body once more due to the pain he felt here and there.

“By the way, Kang Myung-chul used it for a long time, but why couldn’t I last?”
“We also confirmed that part.”
“Simply put, it is said that the master’s body was filled with strength that was difficult to withstand.”

Arty explained exactly why Kaicent passed out.

“My body?”
“Yes. According to Artemis, who was checking the master’s physical condition in real time, the skill Kang Myung-cheol said was to replace the ability as a mage and the ability as a warrior with the ability as a warrior.”
“That’s right.”
“The problem starts here. Master’s inner strength is overwhelming than Kang Myung-cheol’s, so his young and immature body couldn’t withstand the sudden rush of power. If he continued to use it, the master’s energy would be destroyed, and in the worst case, he would have become a crippled person. I say it.”

He has such strong talent and potential, so the problem with such talent was born as a young boy.

Even Artemis said that the only answer to this was for Kaicent’s body to grow.

“It’s a technique that doesn’t suit me.”
“Yes. It’s a technique that puts a lot of strain on a delicate body.”
– I will warn you too. At least 4 years. You need to grow for 4 more years to survive.-

As Arty explained, Artemis, who had been listening quietly, gave a direct warning and gave an additional explanation.

‘But if Kang Myung-chul attacks again…’

Kang Myung-chul, who used the Accel Pinier, could only deal with the same Accel Pinier.

“Eight.”
“Ajak!?”

At that time, Artie lightly flicked the tip of Kaicent’s nose.

“If Kang Myung-chul comes to take revenge, I’m thinking of using it again.”
“Uh, uh!? How did you know!?”
“This is the result of analyzing the owner’s face and eyes. Can you print out what it says?”
“Ugh…But…”

As Kaicent sulked, he felt pitiful, like a puppy abandoned in the rain.

“At that time, we all just need to run. The other day, it was the master and Dangseolyoung’s revenge battle, so I stayed quiet, but now it’s no longer necessary.”

Even Arty couldn’t hide his astonishment at the fact that he threw the people and tied Kaicent’s feet.

Kang Myung-cheol was a being that had to be killed before he could argue with organisms or anything.

Perhaps, if Kang Myung-cheol had appeared in her original world, humans and machinaroids who had been killing each other would have joined hands to deal with a common enemy.

“Everyone has come to know that he is a dangerous being with powers but a childish and self-righteous sensibility that doesn’t match it.
“…Yes. We will fight together now.”

Now, Kang Myung-chul is not the only problem with Kaicent.

Kaicent, who had promised to fight alongside everyone if he came to avenge him, felt relieved, his eyes glazed over with the heat-induced haze.

“Ugh… It’s hot… Kkeuh!?”

Wanting to cool himself down by making cold air with magic, he just tried to use light magic, but his whole body screamed in pain.

“Ah! In the sky! You need to stay absolutely calm for a while, so don’t use your strength!
“But…It’s too hot…”
“Instead, we’ll make it cool.”

Artie, who had no body temperature, placed her hand on Kaicent’s forehead.

“Huh ahhhhh … Cool …”

A smile rises at the touch of the cold, soft palm.

“I-I’ll make you cold too!”

She raised her own note and cupped her cheek as she cooled her hands.

“Grrrr.

Kaicent, who also inherited dragon blood, felt so comfortable and happy that he purred and enjoyed the cold body temperature of the two.

“Huh-huh. You’re cute, Sang-gong.”

Fascinated by the cuteness of the two women, Kai Sent moved his head around and rubbed his cold hands here and there.

“…I can see why humans want cute little creatures.”

It was so cute, Artie realized what humans say about the cuteness they want to take care of.
