Chapter 1525 – [The Greatest Enemy Is an Incompetent Ally]

Currently, King Tyr was officially in a state of unconsciousness and unable to see his state affairs. And in the meantime, Prince Arthur began to act as the king’s representative.

Even before the hero Eden was summoned, he acted in place of the king who had fallen due to a curse, so it did not take long for him to fill the king’s vacancy. It’s just that the position of power has become more solidified.

While investigating the regicides and consolidating their positions, he also restricted Eden’s activities. In short, he was prevented from going to the battlefield any longer.

“Anyway, I needed time to train for a while because of the Demon King. Previously, I went out because the nobles were noisy.”

“Unless the situation on the front line worsens, there is no need for you to participate in the war. So don’t worry and stay in the palace.”

“Yes, well…”

The prince seemed to be overprotective of her. On the other hand, if he joined hands with the cunning Nightgun, there was a possibility that he would try to limit the warrior’s activities.

As the saying goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, you need to keep your enemies close to understand how they behave.

Thanks to this, Eden, who could not go outside the palace, consulted with King Tyr in the name of training and treatment to defeat the Demon King.

“Can you catch the trick night gun?”

“There is a way. But…”

“Just?”

“The damage will be quite significant. In an administrative sense.”

“Are you saying there is a problem with the majority of nobles?”

“Yes, if my prediction is correct, no one else may know, but Prince Arthur…”

“Can’t there be room?”

“Because I can’t control my strength.”

King Tyr sighed deeply.

Is he as a father or as a king? He had to choose a side. After thinking deeply, he spoke carefully as if he had decided.

“At least protect that child’s honor.”

“You have made a difficult decision. So, out of respect for Your Majesty, we will do our best.”

He was the king of a country, and the weight of responsibility on his shoulders was great. However, since he could not carelessly throw it away or ignore it… King Tyr chose to give up his son.

It may be cruel, but those in power have to do that. He must be responsible for what they enjoy, and because of that responsibility, it is difficult to achieve ordinary happiness.

After finishing talking with King Tyr, Eden took action. Of course, the prince who gained power restricted his actions, so he could not go outside the palace, but it was meaningless. Anyway, I plan to see the conclusion within the palace.

Afterward, Eden pointed out people involved in the assassination of King Tyr.

“First of all, the person who gave the poison to the maid was a man named Brandon, who sells medicine in her back alley, and a distributor in between…”

“Haha!!! You are a hero after all. I can’t believe you were able to catch the ringleaders so quickly.”

“I guess so.”

Her prince actually praised her, pointing the finger at her king’s assassins. They are also people who have been possessed by the devious Nightgun, but they don’t seem to worry about this being discovered or causing problems.

The story ends if you kill someone in a way that looks like a suicide before any problems arise. However, since she had to be captured alive for investigation, and the scheming Knight Gun could not yet reveal to the public that it was his doing, he could not kill the ringleaders as soon as they were arrested.

If there are dozens of suspects, some of them are captured alive. At that point, victory or defeat was decided.

Because for Eden, the story would end if there was only one person.

“Prince, may I attend the interrogation?”

“It might be a bit cruel to the hero, but…”

“It’s okay, I’ve seen worse than that on the battlefield.”

Afterward, Eden attended the interrogation of the assassination leaders. She is also attended by several nobles, including Prince Arthur.

However, there were also unannounced guests there. He will attend later.

The people who were brought to the interrogation site screamed in frustration because they had no memory of being manipulated by the cunning Nightgun.

“Wow, Prince!!! Not me!!!! How can wretched people like us harm the King!!!!”

“Well, I have nothing to do with it. I think there’s some misunderstanding…”

“I did something wrong!!! I don’t know what it is, but please just save my life!!!!”

I wonder if they are truly guilty because they were just manipulated, but we need to think differently. Even if the Nightgun of Cunning was a powdered body, it had to have an evil spirit-like part to hide itself from anyone who used it as a host.

Some of them actually committed serious sins, while others had that mentality. You will have to distinguish between them and punish them, but there is no need to worry about that.

Because there is a separate judge. A judge who will judge that clearly.

“The interrogation will begin now…”

“I’m sorry, Prince. There is someone who hasn’t arrived yet. Can I wait?”

“Hero? Who are you talking about?”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

If a high-ranking noble is late, it can only be forgiven, but if a high-ranking noble is made to wait because of a lower-ranking noble, it is a great disrespect. So the prince was the last to attend, but who would make him wait?

But the person who soon entered was that kind of person. King Tyr, who should have been lying in a sick bed to the public, came forward.

He entered the interrogation room with the saint. The nobles, including the prince, were shocked and shouted.

“Ah, father!!!!”

“Your Majesty!!!!!”

“Your Majesty has woken up!!!! No, when on earth…!!!!”

There was a commotion, but it soon subsided. Although King Tyr was still not in good shape, he came here with great determination.

“… Arthur, you made the wrong choice.”

“Father?”

“I told you not to fall prey to the temptations of evil spirits, but in the end, this is what happened. If the person who should be the monarch tries to destroy the country by making wrong decisions, he has no choice but to take responsibility for it.”

“Ah, father. What are you talking about?”

King Tyr turned his head and looked at her Eden and called to her softly.

“Hero.”

“Let me begin.”

Eden stood up and stood in front of the assassination leaders.

On her finger is a gold-colored ring. This is the ring of judgment that I will use today.

“The culprits of this assassination of His Majesty the King are possessed by the cunning Nightgun.”

“What?!”

“Hero!!!! Is that true?”

While the nobles were shocked, the only ones whose expressions did not change were those who already knew about it. The prince was the only one who looked embarrassed even though he knew that fact.

“The cunning Nightgun divided himself and possessed several people. In doing so, he committed an assassination attempt that would normally not be possible!!!”

“If you can control just one or two, then if you can control many…”

“It might be possible to create a gap in the boundaries within the palace.”

So it’s even more vicious. If you look at it small, you end up doing big things by accumulating insignificant things. On the other hand, I could see how the name ‘Nightgun of Cunning’ came from.

But that atrocity ends today. The last remaining Four Heavenly Kings will meet their end today.

“The people here are mere tails. Even if we investigate, nothing will come out. In the end, unless we deal with the main body of the cunning night gun, the same thing will happen again and again.”

“Then what should I do, warrior?”

“I have a way.”

And she looked back at Prince Arthur.

Now is the time for those who have fallen to evil spirits to face their end.

“Prince.”

“Hey, hero…”

“The person possessed by the cunning Nightgun’s body is probably the prince.”

“Yes? Yes?!”

“It is the safest, has the highest rank after His Majesty the King, and above all, when I felt the presence of an evil spirit near the prince, I must have caught it moving to possess the prince.”

“W-what…!!”

“He deceived and deceived the prince from the beginning. That’s a shame.”

From the moment Prince Arthur harbored her dark desires, he had already given himself the opportunity to be possessed by her cunning Night Gun.

Of course, human desire itself cannot be controlled, so it is not a sin up to that point, but it becomes a sin at the point when he joins hands with the cunning Nightgun and tries to put his desire into practice.

If you commit a sin, you have no choice but to be judged.

Eventually, Eden spoke not to the prince, but to the scheming Nightgun who was possessed within him and would remain silent.

“Nightgun. The reason you’re not coming out right now is because you’re confident you can hide well, not because there’s any physical evidence yet, right?”

The cunning Nightgun thought that this would not be the last time even though everything was revealed. Unless he directly reveals his power, he cannot say for certain that it is the work of an evil spirit, and he cannot harm the prince’s body, so his own safety is guaranteed.

On the one hand, the prince is a hostage. It’s not enough to use him as a puppet, but he protects himself with his life as a hostage.

“Anyway, you can make as much powder as you want, and you probably think you can’t touch it unless it causes direct harm. But you know what?”

Crazy!!!!

Bright yellow electricity sprayed from her ring. The golden lightning is beautiful, but at the same time, it ruthlessly judges those who commit sins.

“Uncle Gray says that no matter how divided it is, the object named ‘Nightgun of Cunning’ is one.”

The object of judgment is the knight gun of cunning.

Therefore, no matter how divided he is, who he is possessed by, and whether he judges the various entities, it is all linked.

If the person possessed by the powder in front of you is judged… Not only the other hosts who possessed the powder, but also the actual body will be judged.

Such is the power of the Absolute. There is no escape and the only way to escape is death. Even if evil spirits run away, they disappear, and even if they are judged, they disappear.

If there is room for salvation, he may survive, but Eden does not think that the scheming Nightgun is such an evil spirit. At least Gulia the Gluttony might have had a chance, but he is definitely not him.

“Now, wait…!!!”

“Then goodbye.”

Soon, Eden placed her ring-covered hand on one of the assassins. At the same time, the rings touch together.

Jijijijijijijijijijijijik!!!!

Golden lightning strikes violently. Even though she touched only one person, it struck all of her assassins.

“Quaaaaa!!!!!”

“Aaaaa!!!!!”

“Quaaaaah!!!! Save me, kuaaaaa!!! Aaaaa!!!!!”

People were screaming as they were electrocuted, and among those people was the prince.

No, rather, an even more violent electric shock is shooting out of his body, to the point where it is difficult to approach. What that meant was that the scheming Nightgun that possessed his body was the original body.

“Quaaaaa!!! Heroaaaaa!!!!!”

“You should suffer as much as you used people and caused them pain.”

“Aaaaa!!!!!!!”

The lightning of judgment clearly conveys the pain to the soul.

Since the Absolute Judge’s motto is basically no death, even if punished, he will not die, but that is mercy only given to those who can be judged alive. For evil spirits who are spiritual bodies, the only thing that can happen is the disappearance of the spiritual body.

He is punished for the sins he has committed and suffers appropriately. Even though I wanted to go crazy, I couldn’t go crazy, and the lightning of judgment, which caused extreme pain even to the spirit body, made me struggle in pain.

In fact, it was an even crueler story that there was no major damage to the prince’s body.

Those possessed by the powder passed out after being judged for about an hour. They are not dead, but have fainted. Their hands and feet are shaking even in their unconscious state.

“Aaaaa “? “

Even after their judgment was over, the prince continued to be judged. The electric shock continued to inflict pain on him, and it continued for a long time.

One of the Four Heavenly Kings, the vicious and cunning Knightgun feels enough pain to reflect and regret his mistakes…

The prince’s judgment ended three days later.
