Episode 250. God of Destruction (2)
Angela and Nevia were able to meet up with the rest of the group after coming out of the castle.
They escorted Radon to the castle and followed him all the way to the castle entrance.
But now he was being watched by knights.
Because they are on the same side as Radon, you never know what they might do.
Meeting Angela and Nevia was great, but there was one problem.
“That guy is left alone in the castle?”
“Yes. I told them to stop, but we told them to go back first and followed the king.”
“That idiot! Is he in his right mind or not?”
Ruska clenched her fists hard as she heard what was happening inside.
It’s like entering a tiger’s den, and I just don’t understand why they sent out two saints who were like insurance.
“But Senior Radon… you’ve gotten a lot stronger than before.”
“You’re summoning some kind of giant dragon. What the heck is that?”
“Ah… that?”
If it’s a dragon summoned by Radon, it would be the top-level lord that he recently contracted with.
I vividly remember the sight of a single beam of light shooting out from my mouth with a roar, turning the entire sky purple.
When I briefly explained the spirit, the two saints opened their mouths wide.
“Is Radon Oppa’s power that great?”
“If I unleash my full power, I feel like this entire area will be blown away. No matter how great you are, how can you take on such a giant….”
Honestly, the more I looked at Ruska, the more questionable I became.
Although only Ruska had directly witnessed its overwhelming power, it was questionable how she had survived inside the monster’s stomach.
“And then, my senior materialized the monster and threatened the king.”
“Is that true?”
To threaten with such a monster was no different than threatening to wipe this country off the map.
I would be grateful if Papyrus disappeared, but there was no way Radon would do something so crazy.
Because they still have themselves here.
“Are you sure you’re okay, Oppa? You know what kind of place this is, right?”
“….”
Ruska looked up at the castle of Papyrus.
Even thinking about it now, it was an incredibly disgusting existence that brought back nightmares from the past.
The discrimination and contempt he had suffered due to jealousy during his time as a soldier, as well as the death of his mother, still plagued Ruska’s mind.
It would be the same for Angela, if not worse than for herself.
“Let’s still believe it.”
“Why?”
Even the highest-level spirits, known to be absolutely impossible to contract with, were created by his own power.
“Because he’s the guy who makes the impossible possible.”
I’m sure a guy like that would survive even if he jumped into an erupting volcano.
At that moment, someone was walking towards me.
It was Nevia who first noticed the sound, and the group encountered the figure.
“Um… Are these guys acquaintances of that boy?”
He was a man with an appearance that was somewhere between old and middle-aged.
He was Harkel Byold, the head of the Byold Duke family, dressed in the attire typical of the upper nobility.
He looked through Radon Crowler’s acquaintances and came across an unexpected person.
“Who is this! I never thought I’d see a descendant of the Chainsilver family here.”
“you are…!”
Jenny also knew Harkel’s face well.
I had already heard from my father many times about the Viold family, with whom I had a long-standing grudge, and I also remember meeting them once at a noble banquet.
If you are a member of the Chainsilver family, you can never avoid the enemy, Viold.
“Nice to meet you, Jenny Chainsilver. This is quite a fateful meeting.”
Harkel greets with a gentle face.
But Jenny quickly realized that all that kindness was a lie.
This is because he too was a man who made ugly and desperate attempts to ascend to the throne of the emperor.
That is, he is a collaborator of King Papyrus.
“Your presence here… means you are in league with them.”
“Hahaha, let’s not be so sad. I was your father’s comrade who fought alongside you 30 years ago.”
Comrade? That’s definitely not wrong.
Because he was the one who stood on the front lines and swung his sword with his father during the Demon War 30 years ago.
But unlike his father, he did not fight to protect people.
“I guess so. Because we pretended to fight together in front.”
“What?”
“In fact, he didn’t do much, but when the battle was over, he just stood on the front lines as if he had participated.”
Harkel was struck by Jenny’s unexpected tongue skill.
Although that group has experience in cutting down demons with a sword, it is not even close to the level of activity compared to what other groups have done.
“Is that what your father said? Well, that makes sense. You and your father can never get along.”
Just as Biold badmouths Chainsilver, Chainsilver also badmouths Biold.
If you think that way, it is likely that Gerard, the father, would have ill feelings and give such an education to his child.
“Think of it as you wish. My father was tired of dealing with you, so he didn’t teach me much.”
“You didn’t tell me. How deep is our bond.”
It is also true that the relationship is deep.
It’s a very bad relationship, though.
“That’s right. The lord’s connection was so deep that he even taught his own children about Chain Silver.”
“….”
Travel Wild. I still remember what I did to that guy in the beginning of my freshman year.
Because he was the only one in the academy who badmouthed me, saying things like, “Don’t show off” and “You’re nothing without your family’s support” just because I was a Chain Silver.
“Thanks to that, I was able to infiltrate the werewolves into the school, and not only was I expelled, I was also sent to prison. I wonder if I’m rotting away healthily by now.”
“you…!”
“It was truly an amazing way to raise children. If I ever have children in the future, I will have to refer to it a lot.”
Harkel’s face began to turn red at Jenny’s explosive lips.
The other people who were watching were also quite surprised when they heard that.
‘Did this guy have such a long tongue?’
As Ruska listened quietly, this thought occurred to him.
Seeing her nitpicking like that was like seeing ‘that boy’ they knew so well.
“You’re talking nonsense with your mouth wide open. Cheney Chain Silver.”
“Oh my, did I swear? I told you, you were a ‘great’ kid. Yes?”
Yes, it wasn’t a lie.
That’s why I feel like I’ve been deceived even though Jenny’s words make sense.
There Harkel began to grow increasingly feverish.
“That’s his problem. It has nothing to do with me.”
So the attitude to take is evasion.
It comes to mind in Harkel’s mind. It’s the training he had given to Travel periodically since childhood.
It was like Chainsilver got there by writing dirty numbers, and one day you’ll have to bring them down.
But I pretended not to know that memory.
Now he thought that it wasn’t his fault.
Jenny noticed that and said with a sneer.
“Heh, think as you wish. I have no regrets about that incident anymore. And I don’t care about the relationship between your family and ours anymore.”
To begin with, he had no serious ill feelings toward Bayold. His father, Gerard, was no exception.
However, it is a different story if you put innocent people at risk just to make trouble for us.
The Lycanthrope incident in Travel is an example, but similar incidents have occurred before.
It was similar, but bigger.
“But when I think about why the Demon War broke out… I can’t just leave you alone.”
“what?”
“Have you ever heard of the pitch-black coffin hidden in the pillar?”
“…!”
Long before the Demon War broke out, several nobles, including Viold, were feeling very alarmed.
This is because the children of Chain Silver, who had been struggling, suddenly grew rapidly and achieved great things.
Those who were quick-witted by this fell away from the Wild.
But the stubborn Biold did not give up and kept looking for a way for them to grow.
There is something I learned while doing so.
“I heard from a certain spirit queen. She said that in this empire, there is a coffin that has been sealed with evil energy that has been dormant for 300 years.”
“….!”
“And then by chance some humans discovered it.”
The Spirit King Shaikar has not yet given up on monitoring humans.
As a being called the god who governs life, he knew everything that happened in nature.
Before I went on a mission with Radon, I was able to get some facts from her.
In fact, the real purpose of their mission was not to listen to the townspeople’s concerns.
It was to find out the truth about what happened in Luzeto in the past.
“Luzetto, the land of death. I went there a little while ago.
“How did you get there….”
“Thanks to you, I learned something.”
While Ruska and Radon were exploring the ruins, Jenny and Mary went deep into the forest.
At first, I thought it was just a gloomy forest full of ghosts, but Mary, who was walking with me, felt something.
-I feel the spirit of my fellow countrymen.
As Mary spoke, horns sprouted from her head.
At the same time, cracks appeared in the space, revealing previously invisible spaces.
Inside, there was a coffin of a design I had never seen before, and the spirit of the Demon King, like Mary, was flowing out of it.
And the coffin was also mentioned in the materials that Radon and Ruska found in the ruins.
“30 years ago, the Demon King Beelzebub who threw the world into chaos came out of that coffin. Furthermore, the soul of the Demon King Machia was also sleeping in that black coffin.”
“….”
But because of someone’s selfish greed, the coffin that should not have been opened was opened.
The tremendous evil energy that came out of it spread across the continent.
Because of this, the Demon War broke out.
In the end, it could be considered a human error, but the person did not reflect on it and continued to live well.
“And those humans shamelessly hid their black coffins and went to war, pretending to be heroes, in order to cover up their mistakes.”
Because everyone was so distracted by the war, no one tried to find the cause.
But now that the war was over and the investigation was starting, the black coffin had to be hidden.
“That’s why they hid them in the Elf Forest. But the Elves wouldn’t stay still, so they killed them all.”
He hired mercenaries to annihilate the elves.
The pretext was to rescue and bring justice to a child named ‘Scylla’.
First of all, they must have borrowed the face of Principal Alighieri, Kayten, to frame them for what they did not do.
“I wondered why such a horrible coffin was hidden in the Elf Forest… After looking through the research materials of the ruins, I understood.”
Harkel had to swallow dryly as Jenny’s eyes turned cold.
“I’m saying that you and your subordinates are the ones who opened the black coffin and hid it secretly.”
Jenny’s voice, almost like an interrogation, conveyed a glacial coldness.
Even the bright midsummer sunlight was chilled by her energy.
The mastermind behind the Demon War and the awakening of Makia’s soul is right before your eyes.
A person who committed such a terrible act and lived happily, pretending not to know anything.
He was Bora Harkel Bayold.
“I somehow thought that there were knights of the Bayold family all over that town. And now I understand why they wanted to take over that town.”
“How did you guys get that data…!”
“It’s no use asking for it to be handed over. Another collaborator has already run off with it.”
Currently, those materials are held by Totema.
Before we parted ways, I left everything to him, and if it was his power, I would have passed it on to Shaikhar and other acquaintances right away.
“Although not now, you will pay for your sins one day. When my father ascends to the throne, your evil deeds will be fully revealed.”
Just out of an inferiority complex towards Chain Silver, I opened the black coffin that should never have been opened.
How many innocent people died because of this?
Both the son and the father suffered harm to others due to their stubborn nature.
however….
“It’s not my fault.”
“what?”
“It’s not my fault!!”
Sling-
Harkel, his face filled with rage, drew the sword at his waist.
“This is all your fault!!”
Harkel’s sword, tinged with aura, cuts a line across Jenny’s neck.
Jenny’s neck floats in the air, creating an eerie trajectory.
but….
“That’s all you were saying?”
Jenny’s voice, whose throat had probably been cut, was heard from behind.
In fact, what Bane had done was nothing more than a clone made of ice.
And Harkel’s swinging sword had a fine fishing line attached to it.
Following the sword, the fishing line extended its influence throughout Harkel’s body, binding him up.
A strong cold air was transmitted from the fishing line.
Just as the fire from the oil was transmitted through the rope, the cold air that was emitted through the fishing line froze Harkel.
At the same time, he lifted Harkel up into the sky with the rope and then slammed him down on the ground.
“Khak!”
Harkel hitting his head on the floor.
He saw a ghost approaching him slowly, its blue hair fluttering.
“What kind of shaved ice would you like me to make?”
He could feel what a blizzard in midsummer was like.
