Episode 124 38. What Can You Do? (3)

5.

‘It’s really beyond my expectations?’

Caron let out a small exclamation of admiration as he watched the infighting among his enemies.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

The 6th man, Besik, started swinging his axe at Edward without hesitation.

His attacks were not limited to Edward alone.

Edward’s men were not at all free either.

He had already lost his mind and was indiscriminately attacking Pia without any discernment.

-Can you just let out all the resentment you’ve been suppressing all at once?

“I think so.”

-What a dirty, vicious ability. It suits its owner perfectly.

I thought it wouldn’t work for those who had surpassed a certain level, but looking at the state of the beshik, it didn’t seem to be like that at all.

It seems that even a 7-star player can make their eyes spin like that, as long as certain conditions are met.

Charon could easily guess the ‘condition’.

“So you’re saying that all I have to do is break their composure?”

The higher a being’s level, the more skillfully he controls his emotions.

Because in battle, reason, not emotions, is what matters.

But Besik failed to uphold that basic principle.

The reason why the 7-star powerhouse Besik succumbed to rabies was quite complex, but the main reason was that he failed to maintain his ‘composure’.

furthermore.

‘I’m sure I’ve always felt inferior to that guy Edward.’

The obvious hostility that Besik showed toward Edward told him that his feelings were not temporary.

In other words, rabies was just a push to allow him to explode with his discontent.

Caron said to Edward with a smirk.

“That’s why even friends need to talk a lot. Misunderstandings should be resolved right away. Isn’t this what happens when you let your dissatisfaction build up?”

The devil’s snout began to move again.

Edward clenched his fists as he glared at Charon.

“Have you no honor as a knight? I didn’t know that the Reston Duke’s bloodline would use such wicked methods. You should be ashamed of yourself.”

It seemed like it was said to provoke Caron, but Caron whistled and blew the sound in his own ear.

“Honor? If you keep that, will you get a reward from the Continental Knights Association or something like that? Why do you need honor when you’re dealing with pirates?”

“I never thought the Halo Duke’s grandson would be like this… … .”

“Spread the word for me. The youngest grandson of Grand Duke Halo is a madman, a piece of trash with no honor! Please, I beg you. It’s my lifelong wish.”

The provocations continue without pause.

Edward couldn’t help but bite his lip.

That guy is someone who has never known what honor is. No, it seems like he doesn’t even realize that he is a knight.

“… … You will become a disgrace to your family.”

At those words, Caron smiled and nodded.

“That’s my goal, you stupid mustache kid. How many times do I have to tell you that? Oh, I just realized something. Is that mustache hereditary? I feel bad for your kid who’s going to inherit that funny mustache… .”

“Yes, Inooooom!”

Edward swung his sword at Charon.

The magical energy at the tip of the sword turned into a sword energy and flew towards Charon’s neck.

The sword energy emitted by a knight who has reached the 7th star.

It was a fierce sword that could even cut through steel, but Charon easily swung the guillotine and struck it away.

“Hey, who’s going to take this?”

A paltry attack compared to Kerua’s sword skills.

Caron, who had easily withstood the attack of the 7-star knight, said with a smirk.

“I told you, now is not the time for you to worry about me.”

“I will cut off your head here… … .”

That was when.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

“Edwarduuuu!”

The axe of the blinded Besik struck right in front of Edward.

Edward stepped back in shock, but Besik continued his attack without hesitation.

“The Empress’s pet dog!”

“Besik! Subduing Caron Reston is the priority!”

“Shut up! I won’t follow your orders! If you want to give me orders, ask that great empress to come to you in person!”

“What a stupid kid!”

Chaeaeaeaaeng-!

Edward, who had struck down Besik’s axe, hurriedly looked to where Charon had been.

But Charon wasn’t there.

‘Where have you been?’

Besik, the siege was broken because of this idiot.

I missed my chance to catch Caron Reston.

But he could no longer follow Caron Reston.

because.

“Sir! Those guys with their eyes rolled back are coming!”

“They are all victims of Caron Reston’s sorcery!”

Because Besik’s subordinates were running after their leader with their eyes rolled back.

There has never been a mess like this.

“Caroon Lester!”

The person who actually created this mess has disappeared without a trace.

Where did that guy’s plan start and end?

Just then, Caron Reston’s voice rang out from far away.

“What can you do?”

On the battlefield, the distinction between peerage and enemy has long since disappeared.

A situation where most of the forces were dependent on the White Shark Pirates led by Besik.

Things get out of control when some pirates under the spell of rabies start to run wild.

Even some of them were baring their teeth at the Nagas waiting behind them.

All of this happened to a young man not even twenty years old.

It was a truly absurd ability.

‘If you miss it, it’s over.’

We have to catch that guy right here and now.

As long as that crazy guy is free, the success rate of this operation will drop significantly.

As Edward bit his lip and tried to move forward, Besik grabbed his ankle again.

“You’re ignoring me again. Good. I’ll make sure you never ignore me again.”

Phew! Phew!

Poison burst out everywhere.

Several of Edward’s men who had inhaled the poison began to vomit blood.

Edward looked down at Besik with a cold expression.

“You’ve really lost your mind.”

“I didn’t like you from the moment I saw you. I should have done this a long time ago… … .”

“If it’s your wish to die, I will grant it.”

At that moment, the magical power flowing out of Edward’s body began to run wild.

Paaaaaaaaaaah-!

A blue magical power burst out from behind.

It meant that the Nagas had cast a large-scale abyssal magic.

The light instantly disabled the elves’ barrier, and the protective shield protecting the village disappeared.

But what happened next was something they never expected.

Was there an optical illusion effect on the shield?

As soon as the shield disappeared, numerous elves and spirits waiting behind it appeared.

And that wasn’t all.

Woooooooooo-!

A group of unidentified golems appeared as if they had been waiting on the road behind them.

A golem that looks ominous at first glance.

“……under.”

Only then did Edward realize why Caron Reston had appeared in person.

“It was to distract us.”

Edward quickly realized what kind of being the golem was.

Because the Empress had warned him before he came here.

“Caron Reston. You have already made contact with the Hatchings.”

That’s right.

Those golems are the guardians that protect the hatchlings.

But when I realized it, it was already too late.

“… … Were we the ones who were surrounded?”

At that very moment, Edward muttered in a low voice.

Kwaaaaang-!

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaah-!

The merciless bombardment began with the golems all firing beams of light at once.

6.

The spirits of the earth erect earthen walls to block the enemies on both sides.

There is a village ahead.

Behind are Etaron’s golems.

The allied forces of pirates and Nagas suddenly found themselves blocked on all sides.

Although the level of completion is rough, the encirclement has been completed.

“… … Is this okay?”

Leo let out a small exclamation of admiration as he looked at the net Charon had created.

It was a plan that was half-hearted at first, but Caron eventually carried it out.

Swish.

“It’s not perfect.”

Charon, returning through Leo’s shadow, shrugged and said.

“It was possible because the opponent was pirates. If they had been well-trained regular soldiers… … . I wouldn’t have even tried.”

“Caron.”

“The rabies effect was better than I thought. Beshik, it’s fortunate that that bastard is so obsessed with defeatism. I thought it was a good thing that I looked into Pluto first.”

Charon nodded slowly, watching the attacks coming from the spirits and golems.

This was the result of several coincidences of good fortune.

“Do you think those pirates ever carried out a proper operation? Besides, this is not the sea, this is land. It may be fine on the sea, but on land, they’re just a ragtag bunch.”

If it had been a regular army, the battle would have been completely different.

They would have tried to identify dangers in advance by operating a reconnaissance team, and they would have also thoroughly checked for any traps, including those involving magic.

But the pirates were blinded by the loot and came running like dogs.

The White Shark Pirates led by Besik were the ones who contributed most to the success of this operation.

“If there had been at least a priest, it wouldn’t have gotten to that point.”

Through this battle, we were also able to obtain reliable information about ‘rabies’.

The same power that the Slaughter’s Fragment used, to interfere with the mind and cause confusion.

Since it was a power similar to some kind of mental contamination, it may have been dealt with very effectively if the priests had offered blessings or sung hymns.

But is it possible that there are priests among the pirates?

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

Kwaaaaang!

Pirates exposed to rabies.

And then there was artillery fire pouring in from all directions.

“This is battle.”

I don’t know, but it must be hell for those guys inside.

Myaaaahh …

Pluto, who returned after successfully completing the mission given by Charon, rubbed his face against Charon’s leg and acted cute.

Charon smiled as he stroked Pluto’s soft fur.

“Thank you for your hard work, Pluto.”

It wasn’t without a price.

I ended up consuming 20% ​​of my total magical power.

Even though the magical power reserves increased rapidly as it surpassed 7 stars, if it was used up to 20%, it was definitely a power that consumed magical power to a frightening degree.

That is, it cannot be used indiscriminately.

However, the effect was excellent, so I had no particular complaints.

Charon slowly surveyed the battlefield while drinking water diluted with the dew of the World Tree.

It would be nice if the battlefield could be cleared up like this, but the likelihood of that happening was significantly low.

“… … I don’t feel well.”

An intuition that cannot be explained in words.

His intuition was clearly warning him.

‘Why?’

This feeling of unease has never been wrong.

Did I miss something?

The two heroes who were on the most alert are exchanging attacks on each other.

Things couldn’t have gone any better.

But why do I always feel so upset?

It was an uncomfortable feeling, as if I had gone to the bathroom and not wiped properly.

‘Is it because of me?’

The Nagas’ performance has not been outstanding yet.

It didn’t feel like much of a threat, other than disabling the village’s defensive barriers.

They might be preparing another spell, but this unpleasant feeling wasn’t coming from me.

“… … What did I miss?”

Caron muttered as if talking to himself.

It’s a life full of all kinds of incidents.

Considering the misfortune that befell them as soon as they stepped out of Cheonghae Castle, it’s impossible for things to go this well.

There’s definitely something more.

A truly unprecedented situation where Naga joins hands with humans.

Could an incident of this magnitude end so trivially?

While Caron was deep in thought, Leon, who was watching the battle with Caron, muttered quietly.

“Isn’t our power too weak to be here to catch the Dragon Hatchling?”

“that’s right.”

Aqua is incredibly cute, but to others she’s a hatchling of the evil dragon Etaron.

That is to say, it is an extremely dangerous entity.

“You said that the Empress is someone who can get anything she wants. If a woman like that wants to get Hatching, would she really send only that many troops?”

Leon pointed out exactly where Caron had missed.

A force that includes two 7-star power players.

It was certainly a powerful force, but I didn’t think it was enough to catch the evil dragon’s hatchlings.

If it were Charon, what decision would he have made in this situation?

“… … They must have brought out the maximum power they could muster.”

If it is the maximum power that the Empress can mobilize… … .

“Your Majesty. Me.”

That’s when Caron came to a conclusion.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …

A single spear flying from afar swept across the battlefield.

The spear instantly swept away the golems that Charon had placed in the enemy’s retreat route.

And after a while, a monster appeared from the sky.

A griffon, a monster with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion.

On the griffon’s back sat a woman, holding a huge spear in her right hand.

There is only one woman on this continent who tames a griffon and throws spears at it.

Pirate Empress Kinda Reynolds.

Her other nickname is.

“… … Shin Chang.”

The being at the end of the spear was looking down at Charon.

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