3.

Danju slowly opened his eyes.

An important ceremony to offer blood to His Majesty the late Emperor.

This is a sacred ritual. No one should interfere.

But someone arrived here to disrupt this ritual.

I could feel it even without having to go up to the basement level.

“Who dares.”

He picked up the cane he had placed next to him and slowly looked at the thick iron door.

Double installed iron gate.

Although it looked like an ordinary iron gate on the outside, it was at the same time a very useful means of repelling intruders.

The moment you cast the spell, the iron door will shatter into pieces, tearing apart the intruder’s entire body.

“Incompetent things.”

There were numerous magic traps set up on the first basement level. At the same time, knights with at least five stars would have been stationed there.

And yet the intruder managed to get here?

This means that all defenses have been breached.

That means this hideout has been discovered.

Who on earth is invading?

If they were to breach through the basement level, at least two squads of Imperial Guard would have been dispatched.

Considering that it was broken through in an instant, it is possible that a strong person of the captain level may have stepped forward himself.

“Did the academy’s attempt turn out to be a failure?”

That’s the only possibility.

Veil, the idiot who had been involved in the incident, must have been leaking the information.

But Danju wasn’t too worried.

To prepare for such cases, I have set up a short-distance movement magic circle in advance.

All they had to do was hurt the intruders through the iron gate and then leisurely slip away.

“Come.”

A huge amount of magical power began to gather at the tip of the short staff.

But before the short story could react properly.

Kaaaaaaaang-!

The iron door burst into flames and split in two.

“Inooooohh!”

Woof woof woof woof-!

The magic of the short story was completed before the iron gate came crashing down.

Phew! Phew!

In an instant, the red-hot iron door burst open, scattering debris in all directions.

No matter how many knights they were, there was no way they could survive the merciless baptism of debris.

As Danju was looking at the iron gate with a sinister smile, a dark blue light began to ripple through the dust cloud.

And at that moment.

“This is fun. You should try it too.”

Shards of the iron door crashed down on Danju’s body.

Danju was startled and created a protective shield. However, the fragments easily destroyed the shield. Then, they were embedded in various parts of Danju’s body.

“Ugh.”

A small groan escaped Danju’s lips, and soon a young man came forward from the iron gate, grinning.

“The world has truly become a better place, with such a facility built right in the middle of the capital.”

A voice that doesn’t contain even a speck of seriousness.

Danju immediately realized who the young man was.

“Caron… … Reston.”

Karon Reston, the youngest son of the cursed Duke of Reston.

Halo Reston’s grandson who can’t be chewed to death without feeling any relief.

It must have been that guy.

“Now if I just kill you, the assassination will be a success. You are the last witness.”

The little boy, whose head was still wet, entered the basement slowly, grinning.

Danju brought his staff to the ‘altar’ placed at his feet.

Then, the body that had been impaled by the shrapnel began to regenerate quickly.

“Did you come alone?”

Danju, who had regained some of his composure, glared at Caron and said.

At those words, Caron nodded with a big smile.

“I originally liked to travel alone.”

“I already knew you were so arrogant. Hehe, you talk so well without even realizing that it will be your own grave.”

“The grave is fit for an old man like you.”

Caron answered indifferently and glanced around.

A completely different structure from the basement level.

It was a monolithic structure without a single room.

In the center of the room was a blood-red altar, surrounded by five iron cages.

Judging by the heavy breathing coming from the iron bars, there were definitely people trapped inside.

“Sir Luke said there were a lot of missing person reports in this area… … . There was a reason.”

The air on the second basement floor had a strong smell of blood.

It wasn’t a bloody smell that had accumulated over a day or two. It was clearly a bloody smell that had been accumulating for a long time.

The smell was so terrible that a normal person would have fainted the moment they smelled it.

“Is this all you’ve prepared?”

Caron laughed at Danju.

Was it because his hiding place was discovered? Danju was no longer hiding his dark magic.

-It’s been a while since I’ve preyed. Alright.

Guillotine muttered with satisfaction.

Caron narrowed his eyes and assessed the level of the guy called Danju.

Similar to the guy who tried to summon the Demon King last time.

If so, then you are a 7th circle black magician.

However, the black magic that that guy possessed was a black magic that was all too familiar to Caron.

A dark magic that cannot be forgotten no matter how hard you try to forget it.

“Evil Emperor.”

It was the very black magic that the Emperor bestowed upon his servants.

How could he forget the dark magic that had possessed his soul throughout his past life?

“I’m asking just in case, but where did you get that black magic?”

“It’s a power that His Majesty the Emperor himself bestowed upon me. Hehe. It’s a power that a brat like you wouldn’t even dare to guess at.”

Wooooow-!

The black magic flowing out of Danju’s body instantly took over the entire second floor.

The robe Danju was wearing fluttered, revealing his aged face.

A face full of wrinkles.

But the face clearly resembled someone Charon remembered.

“If we offer the grandson of a traitor as a sacrifice, the late emperor will surely be pleased.”

Kwaaaaang-!

Danju’s black magic tore the entire iron cage apart. Then, monsters in human form jumped out from within the iron cage.

Citizens infected with the mutant worms began to rush towards Caron.

“I will personally deliver your obituary to your grandfather.”

“Ah, now I remember.”

Charon lightly swung his sword at the civilians rushing toward him.

Saaaaaaaah-!

The fog rising from the tip of the sword spread among the citizens.

Sea Fog, Type 7 Sea Sword.

The fog cut through the sinews of the citizens with astonishing precision, and they were trapped in the fog just as they were running.

It was a magical swordsmanship.

But what shocked Danju even more was what Caron said next.

“Press. That was your name, I think.”

The servant of the evil emperor.

One of the scum of the palace who carried out all sorts of evil deeds with the power of the evil emperor on his back.

Now I remember that guy’s name.

“……How did know?”

“curious?”

Caron aimed the guillotine at Danju, no, at Nur’s neck. Then he said with a bitter laugh.

“I’ll tell you right before you die.”

“This is so cheeky… … .”

“You can look forward to it.”

Charon, who had drawn up his magical power, whispered in a low voice.

“Beating up old men like you is my specialty. A good scoundrel doesn’t discriminate against old people.”

For Caron, age was really just a number.

4.

A full-scale battle has begun.

The first thing Charon did when he entered the battle was to block Nur’s retreat.

A short-distance movement magic circle installed in the right corner of the second floor.

Caron easily destroyed the magic circle while absorbing the black magic that Nur was pouring out with his body.

It was a magic circle that couldn’t be used because of Pluto anyway, but it was good to make sure of everything.

Things are better than ever.

The sea becomes even larger as it reaches the 7th star.

Cabana, an armor imbued with abundant magical power, easily absorbed Nur’s magic.

The magical power absorbed by Cabana is completely transferred to Guillotine. Guillotine then purifies the black magical power and continuously infuses magical power into Charon’s core.

It was like a spring that never runs dry.

The clear magic that flows in the blood of the Duke of Reston is the natural enemy of black magic.

With the power of the guillotine and cabana added to it, the matchup becomes even stronger.

“… … This can’t be happening.”

He threw a tantrum and poured out black magic.

Black flames, poison, curse.

We tried to stop Caron by using every means at our disposal.

This mighty power that was personally bestowed upon him by His Majesty the Great Emperor was defeated one by one by that detestable little brat.

It was a scene that was unbelievable even when seen with one’s own eyes.

This altar, which had been raised by offering all kinds of sacrifices, gave Nur endless black magic, but it did not guarantee victory.

Kwaaaaang-!

Even the flames that were strong enough to burn down an entire floor were easily cut down by the dark blue sword wielded by Charon.

Is it because of my mood?

It seemed like the magic power of that little girl was growing stronger as time passed.

“It’s a grand plan that has been in preparation for a long time.”

It has endured for over 50 years.

The former emperor was unjustly driven out by traitors.

How long have you endured to carry out His great will?

I have finally taken a step forward.

If only a little more time had been given, the tragedy at the Academy would have spread the fear of death throughout the capital.

But what are the results?

History is repeating itself.

This time, the Reston Duke’s bloodline was ruining their plans.

“die.”

Passuuuu-!

A dark hand rose from the floor and grabbed Charon’s leg.

7 Circle Black Magic Decay.

It was a black magic that corroded everything it touched, but it did not inflict any damage on Charon.

Crunch-!

“Kekekekeke.”

Charon flashed past and cut off Nur’s ankle.

Nur’s body momentarily lost its balance after losing its right foot.

Kkuddeuk.

The altar regenerates Nur’s body once again.

Charon is cut down, and Nur is recovered.

The process was repeated countless times, to the point of being tiresome.

“You’ve wasted your life. Fifty years of seclusion and the 7th Circle? If it were me, I would have bitten my tongue and died. Should I tell you why you’re like this?”

“Shut up.”

“That’s because you’re a swindler. A swindler with no ability. A swindler who has spent his whole life clinging to the strong, and has accomplished nothing on his own. He’s like a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.”

The blatant mockery continues.

That kid was clearly playing with himself.

‘A twist is needed.’

If this continues, we will lose.

There is only one way to overcome this situation.

This method will postpone the resurrection of Him through the altar, but that can be considered later.

For now, it was more important to overcome this crisis.

After making his decision, Nur immediately stepped onto the altar with both feet.

Hundreds of black tentacles erupted from the altar, and in an instant, they wrapped around Nur’s entire body.

The life force of hundreds of people was converted into black magic.

He willingly accepted the immense black magic power into his body, and gradually his form began to change.

“Krrrrr.”

A beastly sound came out of Nur’s mouth.

The body of an old man transformed into that of a monster.

Demon flower.

The altar’s black magic was transforming the old man’s body into that of a demon.

Kkuddeuk.

The mutant worms that had been crawling around quickly dug into Nur’s body.

My bones and flesh were twisted and I felt terrible pain, but I accepted it with a joyful heart.

This is a great evolution.

It is the moment to shed the skin of a weak human being and be reborn as a new being.

Although it was a less perfect evolution than expected, it didn’t really matter.

If only I could kill Charon Reston and absorb his body, everything would be perfect.

‘You will regret coming here alone.’

The tentacles of the altar completely covered Nur’s body, creating a cocoon.

But just then, Charon’s voice rang in Nur’s ears.

“Who would wait for a transformation? This little punk.”

Crunch- crunch- crunch-.

The dark blue sword cut off the tentacles without mercy.

And after a moment, Charon’s hand grabbed Nur’s neck and immediately pulled Nur’s body out of the gochi with great difficulty.

Charon smirked while lifting Nur’s body with his left hand.

“You’ve lived long enough. Even if you die now, you’ll still be a blessing.”

“Caron… … Reston.”

“This is my pocket money.”

Phew-!

The guillotine mercilessly pierced Nur’s abdomen.

He felt his dark magic drain away.

The sword stuck in his abdomen was greedily devouring black magic.

I couldn’t even move my body.

“Okay, then let’s get started. It’s time to rejuvenate, old man.”

A serious malice bloomed on Caron’s face.

After a while.

“Kkaaaaaaah!”

A scene began to unfold where it was impossible to tell who the villain was.

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