Episode 126 39. Empress (2)

3.

Empress Kinda Reynolds lightly snatched the spear flying towards her neck.

“her.”

It was outrageous.

Her spear, the spearhead of Ruin, was imbued with a dark blue magical power.

That strange magic that seems to be half sea and half darkness mixed together.

The magic tried to bite her palm, but she lightly clenched her fist and crushed the magic.

“It’s exactly like my master’s magic.”

She looked at Charon, who had done this crazy thing.

No one in this world has ever done something like this.

The idea of ​​throwing a javelin at her through her window.

It was a truly insane act, something that only a truly crazy person could think of.

‘… …Ruin liked that guy?’

Scar ruin.

This window does not allow any other person to touch it.

Even if he was a knight who had reached the 8th level, he could not use it properly without Ruin’s permission.

But the child in front of me accomplished that difficult task with flying colors.

That means, I got Ruin’s permission.

It was a situation I had never encountered before in my life.

“Caron Reston. What the hell are you… … .”

The Empress recalled the swordsmanship Charon had shown her just now.

A sword technique that causes hundreds of flower petals to bloom.

There is only one swordsmanship of that form on this continent.

The 7th form of the Imperial Sword, Falling Flowers.

It was a swordsmanship I had experienced a long time ago, when I confronted the knights of the Imperial Guard.

But this was the first time I’d seen someone unfold a story in that way.

Even though the Imperial Sword has different characteristics for each knight, I have never seen one wield it in such a way.

“… … Where did you learn the Imperial Sword?”

Charon Reston is the grandson of the Halo Grand Duke.

The Imperial Sword is a sword that stands in complete opposition to the Haerang Sword.

From the beginning, the two even pursued different directions.

No matter how hard I tried to understand it, I couldn’t.

“It was an absurd swordsmanship. It’s not something you can achieve by eye. It’s something that can only be achieved through long-term training.”

Magic and swordsmanship are clearly different.

Magic power can be satisfied through various means, including elixirs.

But swordsmanship is a field that requires only time and effort. The swordsmanship that the 17-year-old kid just showed me was far beyond her common sense.

From skills to personality.

I couldn’t even guess at anything.

She recalled the evaluation of Charon that was floating around the world.

‘The continent’s best prospect?’

I had heard the story of what Charon had done in the Empire’s southern border city of Leven not long ago.

He jumped into the midst of elite soldiers alone and single-handedly took down the Knights of Reven.

It was such an unrealistic rumor that I didn’t even check if it was true, but now that I’ve encountered it like this, I can tell.

The rumor is true.

The continent’s best prospect?

That would be very rude to that monster.

The weight class has grown too much to keep him in the prospect category.

“Your era will soon begin.”

Pure exclamations flowed from the Empress’s lips.

It was a dazzling talent.

“It’s surprisingly great.”

This was a tribute from a powerful man who dominated an era to a new era.

At the Empress’s exclamation, Charon smiled weakly and said:

“Are you watching me?”

Then the Empress nodded and slammed her spear into the ground.

“Because you have to keep your promises.”

“I thought pirates didn’t care about promises.”

“I couldn’t kill you in one blow, and if I don’t keep my promise, I’ll lose face. So how am I any different from other pirates?”

The killing intent I felt from her disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Even though she was attacked by an insolent brat, there was not a trace of displeasure on her face.

Instead, she just looked at Charon as if she was happy.

“Yeah, you said you wanted to talk, right? Go ahead and say something.”

Caron was given a chance.

This was an opportunity that I had risked my life to receive. I couldn’t waste it.

The situation is still not good.

With just one attack, her entire body was completely torn apart. If the Empress had a different mind in this situation, the worst would happen.

But why is that?

I wasn’t that anxious.

‘The Empress is a greedy woman.’

To put it another way, it also meant that he was a person who was good at calculations.

“Originally, if the Empress hadn’t come, I was going to kill them all?”

“I think it might have been possible for you. This wasn’t all you had prepared, was it? But what is that power?”

The Empress gestured to the bowl with her chin.

Besik fights fiercely with Edward, his eyes still rolled back.

At that sight, Caron shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Rabies… let’s call it that. It’s my secret weapon.”

“That’s a pretty good name. Is it magic?”

“To be precise, it is a spirit.”

“A spirit that spreads madness. What a damned spirit. Hmm.”

She sniffled and looked into Charon’s face.

I wonder what that crazy guy is trying to say.

“I would like to give the Empress a chance.”

“What kind of opportunity?”

“Please withdraw all your forces now and promise not to enter the forest again.”

It was an incredibly shameless demand.

The tone was polite, but the content was close to a threat.

The Empress let out a hollow laugh as if she couldn’t believe it. Then she spoke in a low voice.

“You’re looking at me cutely, so I can’t tell the difference and I’m crawling up?”

“Since you’ve already treated me so cutely, please treat me cutely until the end. I wouldn’t do this without any conditions, would I?”

“Your nonsense is refreshing, so I’ll give it a listen. Keep talking.”

“Isn’t the reason Your Majesty seeks out Hatching to open Etaron’s treasury?”

At those words, the empress’s eyes filled with greed.

“You know more than you look. Who told you that?”

“First, let’s check the facts. Is this the correct purpose for the treasure vault?”

“More or less.”

Kerua’s guess was correct.

Caron nodded slightly and then got straight to the point.

“When the time comes, I will open Etaron’s treasure vault for you, so we can discuss the details then.”

A smile appeared on the Empress’s lips at those words.

“I hear you’ve already made contact with the hatchlings?”

“Well then?”

“You find my greed ridiculous. Why don’t you just kill me here and take Hatching away?”

“It would be difficult if you refuse to negotiate since I have made many concessions.”

“Negotiation is something that happens when both sides are on equal footing. If it’s just killing and stealing, why do I have to go that far? It’s annoying.”

To those words, Caron replied with a bitter laugh.

“Can you handle it?”

“You’re such a cheeky brat. My patience doesn’t last very long.”

At the chilling threat, Charon still smiled and glared at the Empress.

“If you do not accept my offer, I will destroy everything you have achieved so far. It will take some time, but I can promise you this.”

“That’s only true if you can survive in this place. But in my eyes… … . I don’t see any possibility of you surviving.”

“It will be hard to stop, but I am confident that I can survive.”

“What is the basis for that… … .”

That was when.

The Empress felt something slam into her, and immediately swung her spear sharply.

Chaeaeaeaeaaeng-!

A huge shockwave swept through her body.

A man’s face appeared beyond the window. The empress, who confirmed the man’s identity, shouted with shining eyes.

“Caron Reston! Is this your last move?”

After a while, the man on the other side of the window spoke with a bitter laugh.

“If you’re going to grow old, grow old gracefully. It’s a shame to be bothering kids at that age, Kinda Reynolds. Even if you don’t know your face, you can tell when your heart is getting old.”

“Kerua Act. I didn’t know the evil emperor’s dog was hiding in a place like this.”

“Fortunately, it looks like you don’t have dementia.”

“… … So you were the man the Naga men were talking about. You were Hatching’s guardian.”

At those words, Kerua snickered and looked at Charon, who was behind her. Then she said with a smile.

“I’m that guy’s guardian too.”

“He’s Halo Reston’s grandson. And you’re still going to protect him?”

“I can’t lose it twice. Is this a good enough answer?”

Kerua nodded slightly and swung her sword without hesitation.

4.

The clash between the powerful men who reached the eighth level did not last long.

“This is a completely losing business.”

The Empress swung her spear hard and pushed Kerua away. Then she clicked her tongue and looked at Charon.

“If Kerua Act was your guardian, why didn’t you call him from the beginning?”

At those words, Caron laughed and shook his head.

“Because I’m not the type of idiot to show off a great move first.”

“It sounds like you’re talking about me?”

“I’m glad you didn’t get stabbed.”

“I’m telling you, you really won’t lose a single word?”

The Empress let out a light breath and looked at Charon and Kerua.

I had a feeling that that cocky guy was hiding something.

But I thought Kerua Actra was hiding a big shot.

‘not good.’

Starting with that ridiculously cocky little brat, all the way to Kerua Act.

Nothing went as planned.

Even at this very moment, his subordinates were dying.

“Somehow. The spirits’ power is stronger than the Nagas expected. Hatching. Etaron’s Hatching has joined the elves?”

The Empress’s judgment was correct.

That was also the reason why Kerua joined here late.

Because I brought Aqua to the roots of the World Tree.

Because that was the safest place around here.

In reality, Aqua’s magic was destroying the Nagas’ abyss magic.

8 star knight.

Hatching.

Elves.

If the spirits began to regain their power, the situation was clear as day.

The Empress, who had come to that conclusion, looked at Charon with a blank expression.

“Did you really plan on killing all of my men?”

Then, Caron nodded as if it was natural.

“Of course. I was planning to kill every single one of them. If it weren’t for the Empress, I could have really killed them all… … . It’s too bad. Please come a little later.”

Charon met the Empress’s gaze without backing down an inch.

The Empress was certain that what Charon had just said was sincere.

That 17-year-old brat was definitely planning to wipe out her subordinates.

“The malice is deep. It’s not like a young man.”

At her words, Caron snorted.

“Malicious? They are the ones who fill their bellies with the misfortune of others, and they deserve to die. Shouldn’t I be the one receiving the reward instead?”

In cruel hands.

The courage to not be intimidated even in front of the strong.

There’s even brilliant talent there.

The Empress looked at Charon and couldn’t help but smile.

‘I’m greedy.’

Etaron’s Treasure House?

A greed that couldn’t even be compared to that kind of thing arose.

So the Empress spoke to Charon in a low voice.

“Okay, I can transfer the troops as you said. But I’d like you to change the conditions a bit.”

“Please tell me.”

“Choose one of two options. Either promise to give me all the treasures in Etaron’s treasury, or.”

The tip of the Empress’s spear was pointed at Charon.

“Work under me for a year. By the way, this is a scout offer. Pirates are your aptitude. If you want, I can promise you the position of my successor. Wouldn’t the vast South Sea be better than Cheonghae Castle, which is full of jealous adults?”

It was a ridiculous suggestion.

The expressions of the others, except for Caron, distorted at the sudden suggestion.

But Caron smiled faintly. Then he spoke in a bright voice.

“Let me ask you one more question, Your Majesty.”

“Okay.”

A moment later, a bomb exploded from Charon’s mouth.

“Are you perhaps senile?”

To a mad dog, the other person’s age didn’t matter at all.

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