5.

Suddenly, I remembered a conversation I had with Ugo one day.

One day when the sunlight was pouring down.

After finishing his training to stop the Halo rebels, Ugo lay down there and said:

『I will die later than you, Captain. And I will carry your coffin and travel around the continent. You have never been able to travel properly in your life. All you have left is strength. Just trust me.』

A blunt voice without any highs or lows.

The guy was always like that.

He never showed any real emotion and always just stood silently in the back.

He was a really unique guy who would occasionally throw out a few funny remarks on such topics.

At the same time, Ugo was one of the suicide squad members who remained in the palace, saying they would die together with the captain.

Right after meeting Kerua, I thought a lot about what I would say to the guys when I met them again.

Unlike Kerua, who heard the story from the World Tree, Ugo and Beatrice would not have known that Charon was the reincarnation of himself.

I was having fun teasing those guys.

But at this moment, I realized that even that thought was a luxury.

Life is so cruel sometimes.

Just like right now.

“… … Ugo.”

Charon called the guy’s name, lightly gripping the guillotine.

In this situation, I couldn’t even figure out what to say first.

Something was seething inside.

Even Charon himself couldn’t tell whether it was anger or sadness. But there was just one thing,

“I’m sorry I’m so late.”

The guilt was certain.

Beyond this jumble of emotions, there was clearly a sense of guilt.

An old comrade who had been there for him from his previous life.

Ki-ki-gi …

I stand before you without even being allowed to rest.

“I am so sorry.”

Charon aimed his sword, squeezing his voice.

I had nothing to say except that I was sorry.

Ugo was alive and well until six months ago. I had already heard the story about them from Halo.

Kerua, Ugo, and Beatrice all escaped surveillance six months ago.

What on earth happened in the meantime?

Saaaaaaaah.

Dark evil magic began to flow out of the Death Knight’s body.

The black magic dyed the stone floor pitch black as soon as it touched it.

At that sight, Charon woke up from his thoughts.

“… … Yeah, it wasn’t the time to think about anything else.”

Now was not the time to question why Ugo had appeared here in the form of a Death Knight.

Woooooooooo-!

Charon unleashed his magical powers with full force.

Seven seas.

The boundless sea of ​​Charon began to quickly take over the surroundings.

Kerua said that Ugo also reached 8 stars.

Indeed, did Ugo reach the end of the 8th star like Kerua?

The guy’s hair is pure white.

The skin soaked in black magic is dark and dull, but that doesn’t hide the wrinkles.

It’s possible that Halo chose to age herself.

It was impossible to gauge the exact level until we crossed swords.

However, just reaching the 8th star was too much of a burden for Caron at the moment.

Nonetheless, what we must do now is simple and clear.

It gives Ugo peace, that’s all.

“It’s been a while, let’s see what your skills are like.”

Caron smiled weakly and wagged his finger at Ugo.

Did he wait for Caron to finish preparing?

Booooooooo-!

Ugo closed the distance in the blink of an eye and swung his sword at Charon.

‘If you clash with force, you lose.’

Ugo’s first attack was a straightforward vertical slash.

The sword’s outline was clearly visible, but the technique contained within was not at all simple.

Kkudduk.

A giant sword sucks in everything around it.

The powerful suction holds Charon’s body tightly in place, preventing him from moving.

‘Pluto.’

Charon quickly used Pluto’s powers.

Slurp.

Charon’s body was instantly sucked into the ground, but soon rose up from within Ugo’s shadow.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

Ugo’s sword, a step too late, struck the floor where Charon had disappeared.

A loud noise echoed through the room, as if a bomb had exploded.

Even though the noise was deafening, Charon swung his guillotine without paying any attention.

Phew.

It was an attack aimed at Ugo’s right chest. However, Ugo twisted his body with beastly reaction speed and blocked the sword with his shoulder armor instead.

However, Charon did not panic and immediately infused magic into the sword.

Kkwudduk.

Plant a vortex in Ugo’s body.

The sixth form of the Sea Sword, the torrential current rips through Ugo’s flesh, which is harder than iron.

The lion’s head shaped shoulder pads are badly distorted.

It was a blow that would have caused a human to writhe in pain, but it didn’t have much of an effect on Ugo, who had become a Death Knight.

Crackle.

Ugo reached out and grabbed the guillotine tightly. Then he kicked it straight into Charon’s stomach.

An unavoidable attack.

There was no time to even react through Pluto.

Crunch.

A merciless kick dented Charon’s armor.

“Cough.”

Charon vomited blood as he missed the guillotine. The force was so strong that Charon’s armored body was lifted into the air.

Ugo’s attacks didn’t stop there.

Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!

With an unpleasant sound of metal clashing with metal, Ugo pulled the bastard sword out of the ground and jumped towards Charon.

A black moon appeared at the tip of the sword. And after a while, a huge black aura reminiscent of a full moon burst out from the tip.

The moon that engulfs all the light around it.

Ugo hides behind the sword.

Imperial Sword Type 6 Moonlight.

The moon of Ugo resembled Ugo.

A moon so large that it can even hide the creature’s massive body flies toward Charon.

Charon looked at the moon approaching him and smiled faintly.

‘This annoying guy. He’s still the same.’

That moonlight is also a moonlight that I have dealt with countless times in my past life.

Moonlight unfolds in its own unique way, but it is all the same in that it hides behind the moon and aims for the enemy’s breathing space.

Some people create many moons, but Ugo always creates only one.

Despite Charon’s repeated criticism of his simplicity, the guy stuck to his stance.

Suddenly, I remembered something Ugo had once said.

“The moon is beautiful because it is one.”

Although the moon was dark, it was much larger than the moon Ugo had created over 50 years ago.

The moon showed what kind of life the guy had lived so far.

Ugo is honest.

Changing others, not yourself, with that honesty.

That was Ugo’s sword.

Charon raised his head and followed Ugo’s trail.

Finding Ugo wasn’t too difficult, thanks to the guillotine still stuck in his body.

Lower right corner of the moon.

As it had been fifty years ago, Ugo was still hiding there.

“Pluto. Please.”

Myaaaah-!

Pluto summoned a small stepping stone out of thin air, and Charon immediately stepped on it. He then kicked his foot with all his might in the direction where Ugo was hiding.

Woof woof woof.

A blue-black flash flies toward the black moon.

The moon itself is a black aura, cutting down everything it touches.

But Charon willingly flew away with his magical powers wrapped around him.

No matter how sharp the sword is, there is only one safe zone on that moon.

‘Where Ugo is hiding.’

The only safe place was a place to hide and watch the enemy in order to instantly cut off their breath.

Charon stretched out his body towards the lower right side of the moon without a single doubt.

This is not about trusting your own judgment.

I just believe in Ugo’s honesty.

Caron’s trust in Ugo,

‘done.’

I was well compensated.

Charon twisted his body as he stepped once more on the stepping stone that Pluto had summoned.

Booooooooo-!

I was able to dodge Ugo’s bastard sword that was coming towards my neck by a hair’s breadth.

That simple evasive maneuver opened up a small gap.

-master!

Charon, who had captured the gap precisely, was able to retrieve the guillotine that had been embedded in Ugo’s shoulder.

Percussion.

“ha.”

Caron let out a small sigh and landed on the floor.

A stream of blood flowed down his neck, perhaps because of the pressure created by the sword.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a deep wound.

-Master. Don’t be surprised and listen.

The voice of the guillotine seeped into my head.

“Speak quickly. There’s no time.”

A while later, a shocking story was delivered from Guillotine.

-That human is still alive.

“……what?”

-Even though he’s still dying, he’s still alive!

What the guillotine conveyed was hope.

6.

It feels like I’ve had a long dream.

Was it a bad dream or a good dream?

He didn’t remember the details of the dream, so Ugo decided to just think of it as a good dream.

“… … Huh?”

He realized that someone was waking him up.

I tried to open my eyes, but no matter how hard I tried, nothing would brighten up.

It was as if thick ink had been sprinkled before my eyes.

“Get up… … it’s me, you idiot!”

But my ears seem to be fine.

I keep hearing someone’s voice in my ears.

A young voice. But the way of speaking seems somehow familiar.

The owner of the voice was panting incessantly.

What on earth is so hard?

I was getting more and more frustrated because I had no idea how to find out.

‘iced coffee.’

The memories in my head are all jumbled up.

Where is this place and what is being done here?

He couldn’t possibly remember it. All he could guess was that he was currently swinging a sword.

‘My body won’t listen to me.’

I felt helpless.

It was my body, but it didn’t feel like my own.

A constant murderous intent weighs on my head.

The blind will to kill the enemy before his eyes dominated his entire body.

Phew.

I felt someone’s sword digging into my body.

A burning pain spread from my right thigh.

‘I’m fighting again.’

Most of the jumbled memories were of me fighting with someone.

I couldn’t even tell if those memories were from the distant past or recent.

Phew.

Once again the sword pierces the body.

This time it’s the left forearm.

I didn’t know who the enemy was, but one thing was certain.

The enemy was deliberately avoiding the vital points when stabbing.

‘why?’

It was confusing.

And that attack that avoids vital points.

“You tactless brat! I’m really going to die! Huh? Sorry I’m late! It was my fault! So come to your senses!”

That voice, desperately appealing for something.

Ugo realized that something was flowing into his body through the sword.

horsepower.

An unfamiliar yet familiar magical power was quickly coursing through his entire body.

How much time has passed like that?

My vision, which had been dark, finally began to return little by little.

A young man is seen through the blackened slits of vision.

At first glance, it was obvious that he was seriously injured. The bones of the young man’s right shoulder were already exposed.

Nevertheless, the young man kept on running.

The sight was so desperate.

‘……why?’

What made that young man so desperate?

“You fucking punk, you’re already awake? You’re awake and you’re pretending not to know and doing this? Seriously, Kerua, that bastard too! You too! Why can’t you all just eat me up? Honestly, I took good care of you!”

The young man shouted loudly.

Even though it was an injury that could have resulted in him letting go of his sword at any moment, he kept thrusting his sword in.

The sword swung and the wounds on the young man’s body increased with each thrust.

But Ugo felt that control was slowly returning to him every time the dark blue sword was thrust into him.

Even my hazy mind becomes clearer.

And as my mind becomes clearer, the joy I feel for the young man before me begins to rise.

It’s the first time I’ve seen your face.

But Ugo could be sure.

That young man was the one he had been waiting for for a long time.

That’s why he barely managed to squeeze out his voice.

“leader……?”

A voice that was hoarse from not speaking for a long time.

Even though he could barely utter a single word, it was enough.

“Yeah, it’s me, you little shit.”

The bloody young man, Caron, was looking at Ugo with a weak smile.

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