Episode 125 39. The Empress

One.

She looked down from heaven to earth.

Everyone present could not help but immediately realize her true identity.

Empress.

That title was a word that existed solely for that woman.

The overwhelming presence she exuded began to sweep across the ground in an instant.

“… …Caron.”

Leo called Charon’s name as if he was possessed.

He is overwhelmingly strong.

A being of truly overwhelming power, perhaps even stronger than Kerua.

The presence she revealed without hiding weighed heavily on everyone’s shoulders.

“… … The plan to kill them all has been canceled.”

I didn’t expect this.

When did things ever go as planned?

Now the question is not how to kill, but how to survive.

That woman is a disaster.

A literal walking, no, flying disaster.

But only Charon looked at the Empress with a smile.

Have you discovered that smile of Caron?

“come.”

As Leon said, the griffon the Empress was riding began to rush towards Charon’s party.

At that sight, Caron pulled out his guillotine and shouted.

“Everyone get ready!”

The griffon cuts through the empty space like a flash of light.

It was truly a blink of an eye moment.

The griffon, which had seemed like a dot in the distance, soon arrived in front of Charon’s group.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

A flash of light from the griffon’s back swept through Charon’s group.

“Kekekekeke.”

“Coolook.”

“Ugh!”

A scream burst out from the mouths of the group who had received the enormous wave with their bodies.

However, no one lost consciousness, they just stared ahead, each holding their weapon tightly.

After a while, a woman’s languid voice rang in their ears.

“What wonderful children. They are worthy grandchildren of Grand Duke Halo.”

A young voice that makes it impossible to guess its age.

Charon smiled sincerely as he swallowed the blood that had welled up in his throat. He then greeted the Empress who was flying overhead.

“Isn’t this a bit too formal for a first greeting, Your Majesty? Actually, this is my style… … . It’s too spicy.”

“Was it delicious?”

“This level of spiciness is usually torture. It hurts.”

“I did it because I was sick. I’m glad you were sick.”

“You have bad taste.”

“When you grow up to be my age, you’ll understand. Authors of this age and position can’t help but have bad tastes. They can’t stand it without going crazy. And that’s… … . Your grandfather would be the same.”

Her presence is focused on Charon.

I can’t breathe.

It felt like the entire air had turned into thorns.

Although he felt as if his entire body was being ripped apart alive, Caron knew that it was just his imagination.

A being that has reached the end of the 8th level is far beyond the realm of humans.

Just looking at the Empress’s appearance, it was evident.

Appearance: at best, looks like he’s in his early 30s.

Because that was almost proof that she had overcome her limitations and reversed aging.

“Caron Reston.”

Her voice echoed in Charon’s ears.

Caron looked at her with a forced smile.

“I never thought Your Majesty would know my name. It is truly an honor.”

“The sacredness of the Duke of Reston. You can’t help but be interested.”

The Empress said this and jumped down lightly from the griffon.

She landed lightly on the small hill where Caron and his party were standing.

Height reaching 180cm.

Her sturdy body without any unnecessary decorations and her light red flowing armor further emphasize her domineering aura.

She looked at Charon, her black spear hanging on the floor.

OK.

“Caron.”

“Step back.”

“We will buy time.”

Caron’s colleagues all stood in front of him, blocking him.

The Empress raised the corners of her lips as if she found the sight amusing.

“You’re saying you’ll save even the youngest? What a truly tearful display of brotherhood.”

An incredible amount of charisma flows from the Empress’s body.

Something beyond magic.

I feel like kneeling in awe at that indescribable atmosphere.

If even Caron is in that situation, what about his colleagues?

“Caron, you have to live.”

Leon spoke to Caron in a trembling voice.

In a situation where the variable called the Empress has occurred, the best choice they can make is one.

Sending Caron back to life.

Leo and Utula also nodded silently at Leon’s voice.

But Caron spoke to his colleagues in a low voice.

“Not to that extent.”

“Caron, this is… … .”

“I think you have some business with me. You can’t run away if the Empress comes chasing you on a griffon anyway.”

Even if you use Pluto’s abilities to their fullest, he will eventually catch up.

A knight who has reached the 8th star is such a being.

An absolute being that no human power can dare to oppose.

The Empress smiled with satisfaction at Charon’s words.

“You’re as smart as I’ve heard. You’re very perceptive. I wish all my subordinates were like you.”

“I hear that a lot.”

“Have you ever thought about becoming a pirate? It sounds like a lot of fun.”

“I don’t like the sea.”

“Haha, you should be happy from now on. I’m thinking of throwing your body into the sea.”

I feel a murderous aura coming from her that makes my whole body tingle.

Wooooow-!

The guillotine began to resonate violently at the Empress’s blatant murderous intent.

Caron laughed and picked up the guillotine.

“Is the South Sea cold by any chance?”

“It’s warmer than the North Sea. You’ll like it.”

“Ah, I like the cold sea… … Your Majesty, may I say something?”

The Empress nodded and smiled at Charon’s exaggerated actions.

“Can’t I grant the wish of someone who is about to die? Just give it a try.”

“Shall we resolve this through conversation?”

What a ridiculous statement.

At those words, the Empress’s murderous intent grew even stronger.

At the same time, a voice full of anger began to flow out of her mouth.

“Isn’t this a really funny kid? You did that to my subordinates, and you dare say something like that?”

“You were the one who attacked first, right? This is usually called self-defense.”

“You speak as if you have already died once. You don’t seem to be afraid of death. Little one, there is a limit to trusting in your family and being stubborn. You have already crossed that line.”

Woof woof woof-!

The magical power at the tip of the Empress’s spear rippled violently.

Her magical power tears entire spaces apart.

Starting from the tip of the spear, the space around the spear began to turn black.

“There is an unwritten rule that pirates must follow. Blood is repaid with blood. It’s that simple, right?”

The Empress looked at Charon with a smile.

“But I’m also curious to know what kind of nonsense you’re going to babble about. So let’s do this.”

“Please speak.”

“If you can block my spear just once, I’ll listen to your whining just once.”

At those words, Charon smiled and lifted the guillotine lightly.

“Be merciful.”

“What’s the answer?”

“great.”

Caron took up his stance, raised the guillotine, and spoke to his comrades.

“Everyone, stay away, you might get caught up.”

“… … Charon, you can’t handle it alone… … .”

“Please, Sister Leon? Take Leo and Utula and get back.”

At Charon’s serious expression, Leon silently nodded. Then, he stepped back while holding Leo and Utula’s shoulders.

As his colleagues distanced themselves, Caron spoke with a much more relaxed expression.

“There’s no need to drag it out. Let’s go right away.”

Woooooooooo-!

The seven oceans that resided in Charon’s magical core began to resonate violently.

The Empress let out a small exclamation of admiration at the sight.

“Seventeen years old and a seven-star. That’s great, Caron Reston. But that alone won’t be enough.”

Wheeeeeeeek-!

The spear left the Empress’s hand and rushed towards Charon’s neck.

2.

The window flies in.

A simple javelin thrown without much skill.

It’s not that the Empress lacks technique. She’s just so strong that she doesn’t need it.

Quaddududuk-!

The magical power of the eight stars standing in the window tears everything around it apart.

Even the air surrounding the window is torn apart, leaving a black line where the window passes.

Woooooooooo-!

The seven oceans that were located in Charon’s heart were constantly rippling. The magical power flowing from the oceans settled around Charon, creating another ocean.

High tide.

The sea, rising to its limit, slows everything down.

Charon stared at the spear, holding the guillotine askew.

‘It can’t be avoided.’

The trajectory of the creation was truly vicious.

If he were to avoid that spear, it would sweep away his comrades without mercy.

The Empress is asking questions through the window.

Should I handle it myself or irresponsibly pass it on to my colleagues?

The choice is not difficult.

No, rather, it was so clear that I felt a strange sense of excitement.

‘Take it.’

The conclusion is simple.

Stop that ridiculous pitchfork.

That was all I had to think about now.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …

The spear thrown by the Empress reached the Sea of ​​Charon. And at that moment, a huge wave began to erupt.

Just the magical power contained in the spear feels like every bone in my body is crushed.

At the same time, pain surges in.

For a moment, I lost consciousness due to the terrible pain that felt like I was being torn apart alive.

But Caron didn’t lose focus.

Woooooooooo-!

He relentlessly poured his magical power into the sea that met his window.

And at the same time, he started to use his swordsmanship to block the window.

‘You can’t stop it with the Sea Sword.’

Make quick decisions.

Among the techniques of the Haerang Sword I learned in this life, there was no technique that could stop something like that.

But what if we consider past lives?

There is one thing.

There is only one way to stop that terrible sword.

Wooooow-!

A dark blue flame rises from the tip of Charon’s sword.

Charon swung the flame without hesitation.

Then countless flower petals began to fall from the flame.

Imperial Sword Type 7 Falling Flower.

The flower that disappeared from this world with the death of Cain Rathor over 50 years ago, unfolds at the tip of Charon’s sword after a long time.

Paaaaat-!

Hundreds of flower petals were scattered across the sea of ​​Charon.

The flower petals gently landed on the sea and quickly began to gather at one point.

The flower petals quickly came together to form a giant shield.

This time, Pluto’s power is added to the shield made of dark blue petals.

Saruruk-!

Darkness covers the shield. The darkness sucks in all the light around it, making it difficult to even identify the shield.

Kwajijijijik-!

The Empress’s spear, flying through the sea, finally touched the shield of the petals.

The shield distorts terribly and flower petals scatter in all directions once again.

A shock wave incomparable to the one before shook Charon’s entire body, but Charon just bit his lips and focused his mind on the flower petals.

All of this fighting takes place in a split second.

It’s a battle of attrition that others can’t even properly perceive.

‘You planned it this way from the beginning?’

Charon looked at the Empress beyond the window.

The Empress’s expression, which had been relaxed throughout, had now become cold and frozen.

Kwajijijik-!

Finally, the Empress’s spear pierced the shield and flew straight towards Charon’s chest.

But it was different from when it first left the Empress’s hands.

Noticeably slower speed.

Wooooow-!

Charon reached out for the spear, his hand filled with magic, and he caught the spear shaft just before it pierced his chest.

“Ugh.”

Blood is rushing to my throat.

There was not a single spot on my body that was unwell, to the point where just standing was painful.

But Charon glared at the Empress while tightly gripping the spear.

Then the Empress let out a hollow laugh and said:

“… … Have you ever seen such a crazy person? A monster? No, even the word monster doesn’t suit you… … .”

Before she could express her feelings, Caron staggered and grabbed the spear.

“Oh, you should have treated your age gracefully. What is a grandmother in her eighties doing with someone who is as young as her grandchild? This is why I can’t respect my elders.”

Charon straightened his posture.

I was screaming with my whole body, but I couldn’t let it end like this.

“You said blood will be repaid with blood, right? And… … . You told me to block the attack, you didn’t tell me not to fight back.”

“What are you doing now… … .”

“What are you doing?”

Charon smirked at the Empress.

“Attack on the elderly.”

As he said this, Charon threw his spear with all his might towards the Empress.

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