Episode 118 36. Suddenly One Day (3)

5.

Tsk tsk tsk.

The house is literally split in half.

It was a truly surreal scene.

The house that had been cozy just moments ago collapsed in two.

As the sun began to set, a sky dyed in the colors of sunset appeared.

“……and.”

Leo, who had already pulled out his Silphide from its scabbard, looked forward with a small exclamation of admiration.

There was a man standing there.

Platinum blonde hair with a sunset tint and a face that looks like it could be in its mid to late 30s at most.

A well-trained body with no trace of extra equipment.

And the pitch-black coat he was wearing was so intimidating that it made anyone who saw him feel threatened.

“… …Caron.”

Leo called Charon’s name softly.

Because I realized right away that the man was dangerous.

“Everyone, stand back.”

Caron gave instructions to his colleagues.

“He’s an eight-star knight.”

That man, that is, Kerua, had reached the level of 8th star, as expected.

A face that hasn’t changed much in 50 years.

That face proves that Kerua’s realm has reached the end of the eight stars.

The magic I felt from Kerua was infinitely calm.

Sometimes silence is more terrifying than noise.

It was exactly like that right now.

Srrrrrr.

Charon quietly pulled the guillotine from its scabbard and slowly walked forward.

Then Kerua, who had been glaring at Charon, smiled faintly and said.

“I have never invited guests to my house.”

A voice that is infinitely youthful for a human being over eighty years old.

It was Kerua’s voice that Caron remembered.

It was nice to meet you.

I wanted to ask him how he had been doing, and how everyone else was doing.

But before that joy, a feeling of joy began to well up in me.

“Kerya Act,”

Caron said, slightly raising the corners of his lips.

At those words, Kerua nodded leisurely.

“right.”

“You came to the right place.”

“What is there to see for an old man over 80 years old to come all the way here? Oh, by any chance… … .”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

A crescent-shaped sword energy extending from Kerua’s sword rushed toward Charon.

Imperial Sword Type 6 Moonlight.

Charon quickly swung his sword as he watched the sword aura flying towards him.

The wave flowing from the tip of the sword barely swallowed up the sword energy.

Kerua smirked as she watched Charon destroy the moonlight without difficulty.

“Did you come to me because you wanted to die?”

The realm of the 8 stars.

If you can even control your own aging, then it means you have reached the same level as Sabina.

For now, it’s an opponent we can’t win against.

The momentum he exuded seemed like arrows piercing my entire body.

But Caron and his colleagues took up arms without backing down even an inch.

Kerua let out an exclamation of admiration at the sight.

“Three grandchildren of the Halo Grand Duke and one Giant warrior. It’s not a good combination… … . But I will acknowledge their determination.”

My experience of dealing with the fragments of massacre was helpful.

The overwhelming presence of the eight-star knight was breathtaking, but no one groaned.

Kerua seemed to like the sight quite a bit.

He said, pointing at Charon with the tip of his sword.

“Especially you. I really like the look in your eyes. You look a bit like someone I used to know.”

“Who has a better looking face?”

“Of course you’re more handsome. To be honest, he wasn’t that handsome.”

Caron laughed inwardly at that light tone.

‘Is it still the same?’

My personality hasn’t changed even after I turned eighty.

I was wondering where the hell he had gotten his age. Who would have thought that he spoke like an old man in his eighties?

Woof woof woof-!

But contrary to her light tone, the magical power flowing out of Kerua’s body exerted enormous pressure.

It felt like someone was pressing hard on my shoulder.

“Go and tell your grandfather that I’m just doing my job. I’ll contact you when the time comes.”

Kerua’s voice rang out dully.

Caron asked Kerua in a subtle way.

“Is what you’re supposed to do… … guarding this hatchling?”

Charon gently stroked Aqua’s head with his left hand, which was not holding the sword.

Kerua’s face wrinkled at that sight.

“Aqua. I told you to hide if people you don’t know come looking for you. Why don’t you listen to me?”

“You’re not a stranger, Uncle! You’re my father!”

The moment the word “dad” came out, Kerua’s expression wavered.

“……who?”

Aqua shouted as she hugged Charon’s legs with both arms.

“My father!”

A confident answer.

In response, Kerua glared at Charon with a complicated expression.

The uncomfortable standoff continued for a while.

Kerado, Caron and the others too.

They just stared at each other without moving an inch.

How much time has passed like that?

“… … I don’t know how you guys managed to seduce Aqua.”

Kerua said in a very grave voice.

“If you leave Aqua behind and go back now, I won’t lay a hand on you. I promise.”

What were you thinking so deeply about?

There was even a hint of life in Kerua’s voice.

“If you refuse this offer, I will kill you.”

I mean that very thing.

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain that thick murderous aura.

“By the way, is this not a lie? I personally don’t like the Duke of Reston that much.”

“Uncle! Why are you telling my father… …”

When Aqua was about to shout again as if she was being wronged, Caron spoke to Leon who was behind her.

“Sister, take Aqua and stand back.”

Then Leon nodded with a stern expression.

“What are you going to do?”

“When will I ever get to properly mix swords with an 8-star knight?”

“If you do that, you’ll die.”

“Don’t die.”

“……okay.”

Leon quietly stepped back, hugging Aqua.

Only when Aqua reached a safe location did Charon turn around and look at Kerua with a smirk.

“You call me dad. Unfortunately, Aqua seems to like her dad better than her uncle. Well, is that normal?”

Charon smirked at Kerua.

“I didn’t know that the Knight of Evil Emperor would be a doting nephew in the Southern Great Forest. Don’t worry, I’ll report back to Grandfather. Kerua Act is raising the Hatchling of the Evil Dragon… … . I think this is enough.”

It was a blatant provocation.

But Kerua did not fall for Charon’s provocation. Instead, he laughed loudly and said,

“I heard rumors that the Grand Duke’s youngest grandson was crazy, but he really is a complete lunatic. Why did he refuse to be spared and insist on drinking poison?”

When asked honestly, Caron shrugged his shoulders.

“Is there really a reason to fight against the strong?”

Then Kerua smiled as if she was satisfied.

“I wanted to take care of you at least once anyway.”

“……what?”

“You’re screwed.”

Dozens of magical powers surged from Kerua’s sword.

6.

‘This crazy guy.’

Countless crescent moons fall from the sky.

Imperial Sword Type 6 Moonlight cast by Kerua.

Not the Kerua-style moonlight used by Luke of the Imperial Guard, but the moonlight used by the real Kerua.

Countless moons dazzle the view.

The number was so large that it was difficult to tell which were fake moons and which were real moons.

Woooooooooo-!

The magical power flowing out of Charon’s body barely managed to secure space between the moons.

Things are completely different now than when I faced Luke four years ago.

That’s the moonlight used by a knight who has reached 8 stars.

It is different from the moonlight of Kerua that he knew 50 years ago.

Pushuuuk-!

A moon pierced through the sea and passed over Charon’s shoulder, and immediately a sharp pain began to form in his shoulder.

‘It’s not that the fake and the real are mixed.’

All those moons are real.

These are not fake moons mixed in to dazzle the senses, but real moons, each of which can take your life.

If it had been Kerua 50 years ago, it would have been a method she would not have dared use due to the amount of magical power.

But now it makes sense.

That ridiculous moonlight will ultimately be based on Kerua’s magical power.

Kaaaaang-!

Charon slashed away the moon flying towards his neck, then quickly looked at Kerua’s position.

But we can’t even guess where Kerua is.

A situation where even the distinction between fake moon and real moon has become meaningless.

Tracking down Kerua in the same way as before was nearly impossible.

The difference between a 6-star slayer and an 8-star knight was that huge.

That’s why Caron immediately changed his thinking.

‘Pluto.’

Saruruk-!

The darkness flowing out of his body quickly begins to chase the shadow.

If you can’t detect it with your senses, you just have to find it some other way.

The sunset has begun, but the sun has not yet completely set.

That means,

‘Find Kerua’s shadow.’

That means the shadow still remains.

At Charon’s command, Pluto moved quickly and chased Kerua’s shadow hidden behind the moon.

Woooooooooo-!

At the same time, darkness descends upon the Sea of ​​Charon.

And the darkness swallows up the brightly shining moonlight without leaving a trace.

“Coolook.”

The sea of ​​Charon was violently shaken by the overwhelming magical power of the eight-star knight.

The magic flowed back and the blood boiled inside him, but the smile on Charon’s lips grew deeper.

‘… … This is also 50 years later.’

I was so happy to see that guy’s sword.

The vague anticipation turns into reality right before your eyes.

Kerua, who had been pestering me to spar with her for over 50 years.

Even within the Imperial Guard, he was particularly zealous, and eventually became an 8-star knight and swung his sword at him.

Kaaaaaaaang-!

Charon’s eyes sparkled as he once again struck the moon that had broken through the sea.

A sword that dazzles the opponent’s senses and achieves a perfect victory.

The sword that Kerua had pursued all her life is revealed in a form close to completion.

‘You little brat, you’ve really become a monster.’

A hollow laugh escaped Charon’s mouth.

It’s like I’m facing a wall.

A wall that cannot be overcome for now.

But it wasn’t hopeless. No, to be honest, I was happy.

‘… … Those damn fools.’

Those losers who stayed in the palace, saying they would be with me until the last moment.

Until the very end of my life, I hoped that only they would survive.

They must have been grateful just to be alive, but how could they not be happy when one of them became this powerful?

Although he is weaker than Kerua now,

“It’ll be done soon.”

Someday I will be stronger than that guy.

And furthermore, you will reach a level that you could not reach in your previous life.

So there is only one thing to do now.

I’m going to fight this guy with all my might.

That would be the best compliment he could give to his subordinate from his previous life.

“……found.”

Charon swung his sword without hesitation,

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!

A huge shockwave erupted as the guillotine and Kerua’s swords clashed.

“Hey… … .”

Kerua’s face was visible beyond the touching swords.

“Have we come this far already?”

Kerua’s voice rang in Charon’s ears.

“Well, there’s no way that his vicious personality would change just because he was reborn.”

Kerua said with a bitter smile.

“Isn’t that right, Captain?”

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
