“Hey, it’s so toxic. But you’re saying you can become an executive? At this point, I think I’ll lose my mind.”

Caron let out an exclamation with a truly pure heart.

But still, this guy kept the secret until the very last moment.

“It’s okay, you don’t have to say anything.”

Phew.

Charon asked as he cut off Nur’s leg once more.

A scream escaped Nur’s mouth, but the amputated leg was restored in the blink of an eye.

The power of the altar to endlessly regenerate was now no different from a curse.

Even though I wanted to die, I couldn’t die.

The altar, which was completed with the souls of countless people, endlessly restores Nur’s body, as if wishing for Nur’s suffering.

“Heh, heh heh.”

A half-mad laugh escaped Nur’s mouth.

“You… … you have already lost. The moment you came here, our plan began.”

“So what’s the plan?”

“By now… … the other guys would have released their worms… … all over the capital. The capital would surely turn into hell.”

He laughed at the pressing Charon.

“You think you’re smart. But… … In the end, the citizens of the capital will die because of you. Hehe. Now the empire will wake up from the poison called peace.”

“Tsk.”

Caron clicked his tongue and shook his head.

Normally, by this point, I would have been able to talk things out, but even after 10 minutes of stabbing myself with the sword, there was no real result.

It seemed like he hadn’t just been getting older in vain.

An old man, well over eighty years old.

In the old days, he would have told me everything he knew with just two stabs of the knife.

The Nur he remembered, this guy was a typical traitor.

“The order led by the Duke of Reston will soon collapse. Enjoy the moment, Karon Reston. Even Cheonghae Castle will not be free from war.”

“It’s scary when a fool has faith. Well, I might be delusional, so I’ll explain it to you kindly.”

Phew.

“Ughhhhhhhhhhh.”

Charon laughed and drove the guillotine into Nur’s stomach again.

“Agwichung? You’re going to cause chaos in the capital with that? That’s funny. There will be a commotion, but it won’t be a fatal blow. The current empire isn’t such an easy country.”

Has the empire’s power been weakened by peace?

This is nonsense.

The Empire could not be shaken by such terror, and the Duke of Reston would not stand by and watch.

“I bet my life that your terror will be over in less than a day.”

“How arrogant.”

“Listen carefully. Do you know what I’m going to do when I go out?”

Phew-!

This time, he drove a guillotine into his leg.

Once again a painful groan escaped Nur’s lips.

“By now, the Knights of Haerang will have raided your other hideouts. They will interrogate the ones they capture while doing so, and kill them as painfully as possible.”

“What can we gain from pyramids? It’s a futile effort. That alone won’t be enough to destroy our grand plan.”

“What do you think I’m trying to achieve? I still haven’t come to my senses.”

Caron laughed at Nur.

“This is a warning. Show your teeth and you will die. Just remember to engrave this clearly into your brains. I honestly hope you survive for a long time. It’s a great motivator.”

I could sense a malice in Caron’s voice that I was afraid to even express.

The murderous intent and malice of this man had reached a level that even Nur himself had not easily experienced.

What is the source of this endless malice?

Because I’m a blood relative of the Duke of Reston?

No, the malice is too obvious for that to be the only reason.

“I’ll kill you whenever I see you, and if I don’t see you, I’ll find you and kill you. You know how to play tag, right?”

Madness.

He could see the uncontrollable madness in Charon’s eyes.

Why is that?

He thought that the gaze he was looking at was similar to the gaze of someone he remembered.

Eyes that are crazy somewhere.

And the great anger trapped beyond those eyes.

‘Cain… … Lathor.’

The eyes of this child were remarkably similar to his.

“Oh, and actually, there’s no reason to dig up information anymore.”

Charon pulled out his guillotine and kicked Nur’s body with his foot.

Then the old man’s gaunt body collapsed on the altar.

Even though I was free from the guillotine, I couldn’t even move my pressing finger.

The magic of the guillotine. And the energy of Pluto that had penetrated his entire body had already torn apart his entire body.

“I already got the information I wanted.”

Phew! Crunch.

Caron swung the guillotine down with all his might.

The guillotine passed through Nur’s body and was eventually embedded deep into the altar.

That moment,

Gyaaaaaaaaaah!

An ear-piercing scream echoed throughout the area.

It was a ghostly sound that flowed out from the crack of the altar.

“I didn’t know the Emperor was alive.”

Caron’s eyes sparkled.

Even if he couldn’t avoid other people’s eyes, he couldn’t avoid his own.

The evil spirit is clearly alive.

Otherwise, the evil emperor’s black magic would not have been alive and breathing so vividly.

In addition, I was able to find out a lot of useful information through this work.

“You guys must have spread your evil hands to a wide variety of places, including the Magic Tower, the Imperial Palace, the Academy, and the Police Force.”

It makes no sense that this much dark magic was concentrated and yet it wasn’t even discovered.

The authority to investigate magical phenomena occurring in the capital lies with the Magic Tower.

There’s talk that these guys have an accomplice on the roof.

And it wasn’t just the tower. This altar took the lives of countless people. Most of them were probably citizens living in the slums, but even so, it couldn’t have happened with the tacit approval of the security forces.

An investigation that has been ongoing since a succubus appeared in the palace four years ago.

This case will provide a great impetus to the investigation that has been sluggish due to the lack of any significant clues.

“I’ll take home a generous bonus.”

Woooooooooo-!

A massive amount of magical power flowed into Charon’s core through the guillotine.

The amount of black magic contained in the altar was enough to fill three-tenths of Charon’s empty seventh sea.

Woof woof.

The screams echoing from the altar slowly died down, and soon the strange light that the altar was emitting also began to fade.

It was only then that Nur realized that Charon was absorbing black magic.

“What on earth… … How… … .”

Now I didn’t even have the strength to squeeze out words.

Only a crawling voice comes out.

Charon slowly placed his foot on Nur’s chest and spat in the guy’s face.

“You are just a great source of magical power to me. I told you before, if I can’t see you, I’ll find you and kill you. Oh, that’s right.”

Ugjeok.

Charon kicked Nur’s jaw mercilessly, breaking the guy’s jawbone badly.

“If you bite your tongue, you’ll be in trouble. Don’t think about dying easily. You’re at an age where you’ll need to wear dentures anyway, so you don’t have any complaints, right?”

He is the one who has thrown countless people’s lives into the gutter.

I had no intention of giving this guy any peace.

Charon looked down at Nur, who was still like a corpse, and smiled bitterly.

“It will be a good gift for grandpa.”

I’ll hand this guy over to Cheonghaesung and ask Halo straight up.

About how to deal with the evil spirit.

At that time, when Caron was thinking about the evil emperor,

Ah ah ah ah ah-!

Finally, a scream rang out.

Charon turned his gaze and looked down at the altar. The altar was now split in half.

But why was that?

“… … What was it?”

Between the screams, it seemed as if someone was calling his name.

6.

That’s how the situation ended.

Caron simply knocked out the citizens infected with the worms, then kicked Nur out of the building.

Outside the building, the knights of the Haerang Knights and Luke were already lined up.

They seemed a bit nervous, as they each let out a small breath as soon as they saw Charon.

Pfft! Pfft!

Charon kicked Nur’s body in front of Luke, then walked forward with a sly smile.

“I’m done organizing.”

“… … Is this you?”

“A big shot, huh? Nur, one of the Emperor’s attendants.”

Luke’s expression distorted at the word ‘evil emperor’ that came out of Caron’s mouth without hesitation.

I had guessed, but when I actually confirmed the truth, I couldn’t help but feel a heavy heart.

If this fact comes to light, the empire will be turned upside down once again.

Because traces of the evil emperor were rediscovered after 50 years.

“Hans. What’s the situation elsewhere?”

Charon took a sip of water from his subspace pocket and asked Hans.

Then Hans answered in a voice that was very military-like.

“We’ve taken all the hideouts except one. The remaining one will be taken in just a little while.”

“What about the casualties?”

“There are no casualties, two seriously injured, and four lightly injured.”

“It looks like there were knights stationed in other places too.”

The only people who can harm knights are usually knights themselves.

Caron nodded slightly, then gestured toward the building with his chin.

“There are still infected people inside. I’ve knocked them out, so send the kids down and help clean them up.”

“Yes, I will follow your orders.”

“And you piled up the corpses on the first basement floor? Take care of that too.”

“How many numbers are there?”

“Twenty-nine.”

“… … There were a lot.”

“One of them is a 6-star, the rest are all 5-star. While you’re collecting the bodies, check their IDs. You’ll find out something.”

The article is a high-level human resource.

It was said that they were not a force that could be mobilized at any time like mercenaries.

So, obviously, those guys belong somewhere.

If you dig deeper, you’ll be able to find people who are connected to this so-called ‘lottery gang.’

‘There’s no frills.’

Luke let out a small exclamation.

Although it was a great feat to organize twenty articles, it was not really that surprising.

Charon is a knight who has reached the 7th star.

It was obvious that it couldn’t be stopped with 5 or 6 stars.

However, what made Luke exclaim in admiration was not the force, but something else.

The ability to make clear judgments about a situation.

Not only do you subdue your enemies, you also know in advance how to move afterward.

It was a neat and tidy job that didn’t suit a seventeen year old.

gulp.

Finally, Charon finished off the bottle of water and wiped his lips with his sleeve.

“Hans. Did you make any captures on the other side?”

“According to reports, when the battle situation turned unfavorable, most of them chose to take their own lives.”

“Because it’s a secret society. Secrets are the lifeblood of these organizations. That’s why you haven’t caught a single one?”

“Three were captured.”

“That’s a perfect number for interrogation.”

As Caron nodded in satisfaction, Luke spoke carefully to Caron.

“Could you please guide the prisoners to their new home?”

At those words, Caron’s expression instantly turned cold.

“yes?”

“… … For now, I just asked.”

“We shed our blood, so why do you want to eat it raw in the Imperial Guard?”

“I should make a request in advance so that I have something to report to my superiors later.”

“People who like to eat raw tend to go bald. Sir Luke, be careful.”

At those words, Luke could barely hold back the words he wanted to say.

But already, Caron seemed to be annoyed, and stared at Luke as he spoke.

“Hans. When you write your report, be sure to write this down.”

“Please speak.”

“The Imperial Guard just stood by and watched throughout the operation.”

“… … No, Lord Caron. Excluding the Imperial Guard from the operation was entirely Lord Caron’s decision… … .”

“The important thing is the results. Just a moment. I have something urgent to report to Cheonghae Seong.”

Caron stuffed the water bottle into his pocket, then took out his communication device.

And then he immediately breathed in his magical power and connected with Cheonghaesung.

“grandfather?”

Hans and Luke’s bodies froze at the word “grandfather.”

Because that meant he was communicating with the Halo Commander.

But they could not hide their shock at Charon’s words that followed a moment later.

because,

“What on earth have you been doing? Why do you do things this way? It really pisses me off.”

Because this crazy guy was openly criticizing my grandfather, the greatest hero on the continent.

The two looked at Charon and muttered to themselves.

‘He’s definitely crazy.’

‘You said you bit Tails last time, and now you’re the head of the household? Oh, I guess I’ll have to submit a statement of reasons this time too… ‘

No one could stop the mad dog.

The mad dog’s next target was Halo.

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