Episode 123 38. What Can You Do? (2)

3.

Caron Reston.

Besik’s face twisted in disgust when he heard that name.

It’s a name he’s familiar with.

The youngest grandson of the Halo Archduke, who is famous in the Orias Empire.

“Why did you reveal your name?”

Besik clenched his battle axe and ground his teeth.

At best, it is the love song of a duke who is not even twenty years old.

He was smiling as if he found such a childish subject amusing in front of him.

That look was so arrogant that it made me feel uncomfortable inside.

“Did you think I would be afraid when I heard your family name?”

Besik hated the arrogance that was characteristic of those nobles.

That fucking sense of privilege.

Even the nobles of the Southern Kingdom always had that kind of expression on their faces at first.

“What a cheeky brat.”

But even those noble men beg for their lives when an axe is put to their neck.

The sight of those who pretended to be noble shedding tears and pleading was one of the most enjoyable pastimes.

“I wonder what kind of expression you will make.”

Besik licked his lips and smiled wickedly.

It was unclear why the youngest grandson of the Duke of Reston, Halo Reston, was here.

But just one thing.

One thing was certain: that guy was here to interfere with the work.

“I heard that you are the grandson of the Halo Duke… … I am already looking forward to seeing how much you will be paid for.”

“Look at that bear-sized guy rolling his eyes nonstop. Doesn’t your mouth hurt when he talks like that all by himself?”

“I’ll pull your tongue out first.”

Besik quickly guessed Caron’s level.

I had often heard rumors that the youngest son of the Duke of Reston was a monster.

If the rumor spread all the way to the southern seas, which had no contact with the empire, then it meant that he was a real troublemaker.

But when I faced it this way, I realized that the rumor was rather underestimated.

‘It’s ridiculous.’

It was impossible to gauge the level of that young rascal.

What that meant was that the sword had risen to the same level as Besik himself.

And that’s not all.

“Dieeeeeeeeeeeee!”

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

What is this strange ability that drives his subordinates half-mad?

It was an extremely peculiar power for a child from a prestigious family to wield.

“It wouldn’t be strange if you called me a demon.”

Besik said with a bitter laugh.

At those words, Charon nodded while lightly shaking his sword.

“It’s not a demon, but a black magic sword. It’s a magic sword that was personally certified by the saint of the Holy Kingdom, so you can trust it.”

That laid-back attitude got on Besik’s nerves.

“If I subdue you, my subordinates’ madness will stop.”

“Oh, I can’t say for sure about that. This is my first time writing to a person. But thank you for always being my test subject.”

“Have you ever seen such an impudent brat!”

I don’t know how the madness spread, but I definitely had to get this situation under control as quickly as possible.

Even at this moment, the number of frenzied subordinates was only increasing.

Booooooooo-!

Finally, Besik rushed towards Charon.

An axe filled with tremendous power cut through the air.

‘It’s just a pity.’

What matters on the battlefield is experience.

fence?

There is no human who does not know that the Duke of Reston’s sword is excellent.

However, being good at martial arts does not necessarily mean you will win a fight.

Weapons are merely a means to help you win, they do not guarantee victory.

Chaeaeaeaaeng-!

Charon’s sword smoothly deflected Besik’s axe, but Besik raised the corners of his mouth as if he had expected it.

And using the acceleration attached to the body, he quickly rotated his body once.

OK,

Chorrrrrrrr!

Dozens of small barrels popped out from within Besik’s arms.

And at that moment, Besik stomped his feet hard and quickly stepped back.

Kuuuung-!

As the shock wave from his feet reached the barrel, all kinds of needles inside the barrel were fired simultaneously along with green smoke.

Pavabavabat-!

Those numerous stingers contained poison so potent that it could even stun an elephant.

And even that green smoke was poisonous, a kind of poisonous smoke.

Even if he was a 7-star knight, he could not be free from that poison.

Besik smiled bitterly as he watched the green smoke spread out in an instant.

‘There will be no escape.’

This is how countless articles were neutralized.

Those knights who are obsessed with their giant battle axes think they only have to deal with axes.

Of course, he was confident in his axe skills, but his axe was not his only weapon.

“I can already see you begging for an antidote, poisoned.”

That poison.

The poison he uses through various means is the secret weapon that made him who he is today.

Because poison was a very easy way to subdue an opponent.

‘That inexperienced little rascal would never have expected that.’

If the poison was triggered at this distance, it would be impossible to avoid poisoning.

Besik waited for the fog to clear, keeping his distance from the crowd.

But right then.

Wheeeeeeing-!

Several vortices rose up between the solo dance.

“Wow, someone that big can even use poison?”

The green poison dispersed in an instant.

And soon, the figure of Charon, who was among the soloists, came into Besik’s sight.

“He was a more demanding kid than I thought.”

Caron looked at Besik with a smile as if he found it amusing.

“If it weren’t for the shield, I would have been defeated.”

When on earth did it start?

In Charon’s left hand was a ‘shield’.

Besik’s expression distorted greatly as he confirmed the identity of the ‘shield’.

This is because the ‘shield’ was none other than his own direct adjutant.

“Keuh-euh-euh.”

The adjutant’s body was riddled with poisonous needles, and black blood was flowing out of his mouth.

“It just so happened to be running this way. It was a very useful shield.”

Kuuung.

Caron threw the adjutant, who had been convulsing nonstop, in front of Besik.

The adjutant collapsed awkwardly in front of Besik, and soon after, he fell limply.

“Honestly, you could have avoided it all, right? But that would be a bit of a waste. But you prepared it with all your heart, so you should taste it. Don’t you think?”

That kid must have anticipated that poison would be used.

Besik asked in a low voice.

“How did know?”

Then Caron answered with a sly smile.

“Your fingernails. They’re discolored black. That means you’re handling poison.”

Did you check such detailed parts in such a short period of time?

His eyes were far too sharp for someone who wasn’t even twenty years old.

“The method of putting poison needles in a can is the method of the Pajar Sultanate. Are you from the Pajar Sultanate? It really doesn’t suit a guy who only rolls around in the desert to call himself a pirate.”

Charon shrugged. Then the corners of his mouth turned up wickedly.

“Okay, now it’s my turn.”

Charon, swinging his sword lightly, pointed at Besik with his finger and said.

“Guys, go and ask.”

And at that moment,

“Kuaaaah!”

“Kill me!”

Besik’s men, having lost their minds, began to rush towards their leader.

4.

“Wow, you’re really a heartless bastard?”

Caron looked at Besik, sticking out his tongue.

It’s never easy to take down guys who eat from the same pot.

Even if they are pirates, don’t they have at least a minimum of loyalty?

But I couldn’t find any such loyalty in that guy named Besik.

Booooooooooooo-!

Besik cut down his men without hesitation with an angry face.

The momentum was so fierce that some of his subordinates, who had been caught up in the frenzy, came to their senses.

“Two, boss! I’m sorry… … .”

Oh my god!

But there was no mercy in Besik’s hands.

The guy decapitated several people at once with his huge battle axe.

It was a matter of seconds before the troops infected with ‘rabies’ were cleared out.

Besik, whose entire body was covered in the blood of his subordinates, glared at Caron with a murderous expression.

“You will not die gracefully.”

It was a warning full of life.

The momentum of the 7-star powerhouse was focused on Caron, but Caron smiled leisurely.

“Your eyes are properly aligned. You have good eyes.”

It was an attitude that would have been burdensome not long ago.

But Caron took Besik’s momentum with ease.

Wooooow-!

The seven seas nestled within the magic core resonated, creating a deep echo.

At the same time, the fighting spirit was boiling over.

A 7-star level reached through sparring with Kerua.

I wanted to test the power of the seventh ocean right away.

but.

Kwaaaaang-!

Charon could not swing his sword as he pleased.

Because a new face has emerged from behind the scenes.

“Beshik, come to your senses. You have lost your mind.”

A middle-aged knight with a stylish mustache landed on the ground and said:

Then Besik shouted in a voice full of anger.

“Edward! This is my job.”

“No, this is the order of the Empress. I cannot allow your hasty anger to ruin the matter.”

Edward answered briefly, then glared at Charon with a cold expression.

“… …Caron Reston.”

A variable that even the Empress could not have anticipated.

I had heard all along that this guy was the Duke’s new mad dog.

But I didn’t know this guy would be this good.

Magic power that clearly has reached the 7th level, plus the ominous ability to drive people into a state of frenzy.

It was a completely unpredictable entity.

“My name is Edward Candile. I think you know my name.”

Caron replied with a smirk to those words.

“How would I know the name of a dog raised by someone I’ve never met?”

What comes back is a blatant insult.

It was a speech style closer to that of a city swindler rather than the child of a noble family.

“… … You don’t even think about the manners of a noble.”

“What kind of manners does a kid who goes around doing pirates have?”

But Edward kept his composure.

It was lowly to fall for such provocation.

You can’t ruin the grand plan with a momentary emotion.

“It was not our plan to clash with you. We do not want unnecessary conflict. If you step aside now, I promise you that I will not hold you responsible. I swear it on the name of the Empress. And this is the same offer I make to the elves. If you quietly leave the village and leave, there will be no bloodshed.”

“Edward! Who would make such a decision… .”

“It is the Empress’s will. It is none of your business.”

Things are going so beautifully.

A rare sight of people on the same side biting each other.

At that sight, Caron said with a smirk.

“What could be more foolish than believing the words of pirates?”

“The Empress has promised.”

“No, that’s what I mean. The Empress is a pirate after all. It’s too grand a title for a pirate. Whether she’s the Empress or not, she’s still just a cheap pirate. Do you think a pumpkin becomes a watermelon if you draw lines on it?”

Charon gently changed the subject of his insult.

Then, immediately, the kiss came.

Edward’s face, which had been composed until then, cracked.

“If you refuse, you will die here.”

Edward’s men arrived later and quickly blocked Charon’s retreat.

A siege net formed in an instant.

Edward spoke to Caron in a cold voice.

“Choose one of two things. Either retreat from the village, or die here.”

To those words, Caron replied with a bitter laugh.

“Is it okay to leave your friend like that?”

“……what?”

“I finally caught rabies.”

That was when.

“Edwarduuuu!”

Besik’s battle axe, having lost his mind, rushed towards Edward.

Charon nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the sight.

“You should have been on good terms with your friends.”

The real mess has begun.

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