Episode 128 40. You have to take what you have to take.

One.

Edward looked at Charon with a vain expression.

Where on earth did it go wrong?

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

It was a really easy task for the Nagas to neutralize the spirits and raid the elven village, which had lost most of its power.

But what are the results?

Kwaaaaang-!

“Keuh-euh-euh.”

“Save me, save me.”

It’s a complete failure.

His subordinates, who had been with him since the days of the Knights, were pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Some were taken advantage of by the idiots of the White Shark Pirates, and others were taken advantage of by Beshik’s poison.

Moreover, those who were lucky enough to survive were losing their lives one by one to the elves’ magic.

‘finished.’

This battle, which he had thought would be easy, ended up becoming his grave.

“……why?”

The resentment towards the empress who had abandoned him and left him continued to rise deep in his heart.

He simply could not understand the Empress’s choice.

I just did what I was told.

But why are you abandoning yourself at this moment?

In fact, he already knew the answers to all those questions.

Chaeaeaeaaeng-!

That little bastard who is skillfully digging into me right before my eyes.

From the operation going awry to the Empress’s change of heart.

It all started with that little kid.

The head has already realized.

But I just couldn’t accept it with my heart.

“Caron Lester!”

The fatigue that had built up from his clash with Besik was already eating away at his entire body, but Edward summoned up all the magical power he had left.

I couldn’t die here.

I will definitely survive and avenge this disgrace.

But his body, already at its limit, could no longer endure it.

Chaeaeaeaaeng-!

The emotionally stretched out black sword loses its power as soon as it touches the blue-black sword.

He felt the magical power at the tips of the swords dissipate every time they clashed.

The seventeen-year-old Aesong intrudes with cruel precision into every gap.

The outcome has already been decided.

Still, Caron Reston is in no rush.

As if Edward was mocking himself, he broke down his defenses one by one.

‘devil.’

At least if you’re a knight.

Shouldn’t you know how to respect the other person’s honor?

But there was no such thing as honor to be found in that guy.

Kwaaaaang-!

“Kekekekeke.”

A whirlpool rose from beneath his feet and struck his upper body, causing a large amount of blood to spurt out from his mouth.

And then, in his blurry vision, he saw Besik collapse.

Besik, who met his end at the hands of Charon’s companions.

If we had joined forces and fought together from the beginning, we could have won, but now it was just a fleeting regret.

“ah.”

On this vast battlefield, only Edward continued to fight.

The pirates who survived the spirits’ bombardment were running away without even giving up, but Etaron’s golems would not allow them to do so.

It was the same for Nagado.

Those who should have been supported by magic had an incredibly strong opponent attached to them.

At first glance, you can tell that he is a strong man who has reached 8 stars.

despair.

Only then did despair creep in. There was no way to survive here anymore.

“Caron Reston.”

Edward looked at Charon as he readjusted his sword.

“Do not insult even my last honor.”

He looked at the demon in front of him and spoke softly.

“Fight me with the best swordsmanship you have.”

I knew you would show this much mercy.

But the answer he got back was completely different from what he expected.

“Do pirates have any honor? I think an honorable pirate is like a good black magician. Should I say that it’s nonsense that doesn’t exist in this world?”

Charon, who was grinning, swung his sword with a simple and straightforward manner.

It’s embarrassing to even call it a herbivore, just a simple cut.

But Edward, who had already reached his limit, found it difficult to stop even that.

Phew-!

With that simple blow, Edward’s armor breaks apart piece by piece.

I could no longer stop the aura forming at the tip of my sword.

“What honor do you have when you came here to destroy the future of the innocent elves?”

The devil’s laughter echoed in my ears.

At that voice, Edward shouted, his core going berserk.

“Do you think you’re going to die like this?”

It is the magic power that has been built up throughout one’s life.

Even though it may not change the outcome.

But that was then.

Phew.

A dark blue sword pierced his chest, and immediately the opponent’s magical power flowed in through the sword.

Soon after, I began to feel pain inside my body, as if bugs were mercilessly eating away at my organs.

Even reckless driving couldn’t be done at will.

Charon’s magical power, which had penetrated into his body in an instant, easily took over the core and passage.

dump.

Edward’s body fell apart.

He looked up at the young man in front of him while kneeling on the floor. Then, he mustered up the last of his strength and spoke.

“You will meet a miserable end someday-.”

Before he could even finish speaking.

Crunch-!

Charon pulled the guillotine out of his chest and mercilessly cut off his opponent’s head.

Bam.

Edward’s neck fell to the floor, and Charon raised the corners of his mouth, spitting blood-tinged spit.

“Where the hell is that pirate kid trying to leave such a cool will?”

Charon swung the guillotine lightly, brushing away the blood from the blade. Then, with his eyes open, he looked at Edward’s dead neck and muttered softly.

“You should just die like a worm. That would suit you perfectly.”

As he said that, Caron glanced back at his colleagues.

The condition of my colleagues was not so good.

Leo’s fingertips were trembling as if he was poisoned, and Leon’s armor was dented horribly.

Utula was also bleeding from his shoulder.

Muscles as hard as iron were torn apart by Besik’s axe.

At that sight, Caron snickered and said.

“Is it that difficult to deal with a guy who’s almost dying?”

Then Leo answered, stammering.

“Sea, detox… … poison. No, no?”

“older brother.”

“Why why.”

“You have to endure hardships when you’re young, right? Try to hold on for a while while you build up your tolerance to poison.”

“Jin, I’m really dying… … . I feel like I’m dying… … .”

“People don’t die that easily.”

Charon gave Leo a thumbs up.

And then he slowly turned his body and looked at the back of the village.

“It’s finished.”

From a distance, elves riding wolves were running at full speed.

After a while.

“I will burn every last one of you.”

A giant bird made of fire took flight.

“Ifrit.”

Ifrit has appeared here.

“Do not let those who invade the forest live!”

Orion, Ifrit’s contractor and leader of the patrol, has arrived.

The moment the elves riding on wolves appeared, the elves who had been defending the village also appeared all at once.

Caron looked at the sight and let out a small breath.

“What should I get this time?”

The battle is over.

Now all that remains is to ask the elves for a receipt.

“My mouth is watering.”

A smile appeared on Caron’s lips.

2.

As the elves joined the battle in earnest, the battlefield was quickly cleared.

The pirates could not escape from the elves.

First of all, this place is the southern great forest.

There was no way the pirates could escape from the elves who were blessed by the forest.

Wooooow-!

Orion detoxified Leo, who was poisoned, through the water spirit, then quietly looked at Charon.

And he said in a low voice.

“If it weren’t for you, we would have had to collect the bodies of our own people. I owe you another favor, Charon. I don’t know how I can repay this debt.”

Orion nodded slowly, looking around the battlefield strewn with pirate corpses.

If it weren’t for the help of Caron and his party, the village would have been in ruins long ago.

“I thought the Empress herself would come forward.”

Orion also knew a lot about the rumors about the human known as the Empress.

The strongest one who rules the South Sea.

A strong man who reached the end of the 8th star would never have been able to be stopped by the power of the village of Air alone.

“It’s fortunate that the Empress has stepped down so easily. In fact, we didn’t think the Empress would appear either.”

Thinking back, I was so lucky.

If I hadn’t met Kerua or persuaded the Empress, I wouldn’t have achieved this level of success.

It was likely that all that was needed was to survive.

Orion asked in a low voice at Charon’s honest answer.

“How did you persuade the Empress?”

“Should I call it a beauty trap?”

Orion’s expression slightly distorted at those words.

“… … For us, you went that far… … .”

“… … What are you imagining?”

“Even to me, an elf, you are quite handsome. You may certainly be to the Empress’s taste… … .”

It seemed clear that there had been some unpleasant misunderstanding.

Charon raised his fist at Orion.

“Don’t even joke about that. Do you know how old your empress is?”

“I do not know.”

“I’m well over eighty years old!”

Then Orion opened his eyes wide as if to say, “What does that matter?”

“Eighty is the prime of life. What’s the problem?”

“… … No, don’t think in terms of elves. Please.”

“It’s elven humor.”

Orion smiled slyly and spoke in a much softer voice.

“But I’m really curious as to how they got the Empress back.”

“He is a person who calculates quickly.”

“calculate?”

“You have to choose between pretending to be with me or maintaining a relationship.”

Then Orion nodded again.

“It seems the Empress thinks highly of you.”

“maybe?”

“If I were the empress, I would have made the same decision.”

“Is that a compliment?”

“It’s a compliment.”

Orion waved his hand lightly.

Whoosh whoosh-!

Then a wall of fire rose from far away.

It was the will not to miss a single pirate.

“Did you find out what the Empress was after?”

“The Treasure of Etaron.”

“Now that Etaron is dead, there is no way to access the treasury.”

“Hatchling was born.”

“It’s an unbelievable story.”

“I brought you to the village for a while, so you’ll find out later when you see it for yourself. I also have something to discuss with you elves regarding the hatchlings.”

It was while Charon was talking about this and that with Orion.

A rather strange scene began to appear in Charon’s vision.

“Why are they like that?”

Unlike the pirates who chose to scatter and flee, the Nagas who were positioned behind the pirates were behaving strangely.

A situation where a giant crocodile called Leviathan is split in two by Kerua.

I thought you would make a last-ditch effort.

“Are you surrendering?”

Nearly a hundred Nagas knelt on the ground and began to throw away their weapons.

Caron wasn’t the only one bewildered by the sight.

Even Orion, who had been fighting against the Nagas for a long time, frowned deeply.

“Those guys who go out are the ones who chose to commit suicide rather than be captured. Why on earth would they… … .”

And then.

Taaaaaah.

Kerua, who jumped from the direction of Nagadeul, landed lightly next to Caron.

Then he looked back and forth between Charon and Orion and said:

“Caron Reston. Who is this?”

“Orion Windkeeper. Captain of the Elf Patrol. Orion? This is Kerua Act.”

“The Knight of Evil Emperor. The interest you were looking for… … .”

“That’s a good thing.”

Kerua nodded and then spoke to the two.

“The Nagas want to surrender. And they want to speak to you, Caron Reston?”

“Me… … No, me and you? Why?”

“I don’t know about that. Oh, and.”

Kerua looked at Orion furtively.

“This is a request from the heir to the kingdom of Naga. There’s a heir there. How about… …. Just kill them all?”

Well, that’s the correct way.

Because I couldn’t guarantee that the guys telling me to leave would use witchcraft.

But with Kerua and Orion by their side, could they possibly do something crazy?

‘If I was going to do it, I would have done it a long time ago.’

Charon, who made a quick decision, said to Kerua.

“Let me hear your story.”

And it was only 30 minutes later that I realized it was the best decision.

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