Episode 188 59. Excuse (4)

7.

Na-tae’s voice contained his own dark magic.

Just hearing that voice in my ears makes me feel like all the strength is leaving my body.

-Master. Disconnect immediately.

Guillotine shouts urgently.

It’s a trap.

The Demon King of Sloth must have anticipated this situation and planted the idea in advance.

But Charon didn’t break the connection. No, he couldn’t exactly break it.

‘I think it would be difficult for me to do it alone.’

The Ring of the Traitor.

This ancient magical artifact allows you to forcibly infiltrate the minds of your opponents. That is to say.

‘… … I think it will take some time.’

It was also said that while using the artifact, one is connected to the other person’s mind.

【I didn’t know you had that ring. I just wanted to have a chat with you, so I set up this place. If I do it right, I can kill you here.】

A sly voice rang out.

It was completely different from the voice of the massacre that was steeped in murderous intent.

He was as cunning as a snake, and at the same time as tenacious as a hyena.

Saaaaah-!

A man soon appeared before Charon’s eyes, which were filled with darkness.

A face as pale as a corpse.

Dark brown hair that reaches down to the waist.

The glowing yellow eyes within it vaguely resembled those of a snake.

He was wearing a one-piece tunic that exposed his chest.

The tunic, which appeared to be made of luxurious leather, was glowing with a faint purple color.

“You can’t just wait across the North Sea.”

A very thin voice.

It was a voice so thin that if it weren’t for the man’s appearance, I would have mistaken it for a woman’s.

The Demon King of Laziness.

One of the four demon lords who rule over the demon tribe appeared before Charon.

It was truly an overwhelming presence.

Even though it wasn’t real, it was breathtaking.

But Charon instead burned with hostility.

A group of people called Demon Kings who I hate endlessly.

Just as when he faced the Demon King of Slaughter, an unquenchable killing intent awakened Charon’s spirit.

“You look much better now than when you were a savage dog.”

“I’d rather have that bastard be Slaughter than you. At least that bastard didn’t wag his tongue uselessly like you did.”

“Are you comparing me to that idiot whose head is full of murderous intent? That makes me feel a little bad. Don’t ever compare me to that guy again.”

Charon recalled the records he had read about the Demon King of Sloth in the family library.

The Demon King of Laziness.

As befitting a demon lord who represents the word sloth, he is the laziest of all.

Unlike other demon lords who frequently appeared on the continent, this one does not move easily.

“What’s that lazy bastard doing all the way to the East?”

The Demon King of Sloth answered Charon’s question with a smile.

“I have a subordinate who wants to borrow my power. I just went out for fun because he said he’d do something quite extraordinary. So, how did it feel to meet your old subordinate again? Did you have a touching reunion?”

The magic of sloth seeps into Charon’s body.

A force that makes even the will to resist disappear.

The power and greatest weapon this guy possessed was to render even the soul helpless.

But Caron easily overcame that lethargy.

That too is not the true nature of sloth, but only a fragment of its power.

This alone was not enough to break Caron’s will or the blood of the Duke of Reston.

The Demon King of Sloth let out a small exclamation of admiration at that sight.

“It’s a talent I really want. I’ll let you maintain your identity as a human, so why don’t you come to me? I’ll complete your revenge.”

“You have an anus in your mouth too? You keep shitting with your mouth.”

“I want to make this clear. It’s not me you should be hating, but that evil demon king, isn’t he? I just stood by and watched you get toyed around by evil.”

Laziness’s voice constantly dug into Caron’s ears.

The guy had already summoned a chair and was sitting down. He then spoke while crossing his legs.

“I love the desires of mortals. I, too, desire to eliminate evil. If you join my hand, you can achieve your goal.”

“dog sound.”

“Isn’t that a pretty plausible argument? If the goal is right, we’ll join hands. I think that’s how humans deal.”

It sounded like clever rhetoric, but Caron already knew that all of that was nonsense.

Caron raised his middle finger with a bitter laugh.

“There is a code that has been passed down through generations in the Duke of Reston. Do you know what it is?”

“Hmm, I wonder.”

“Don’t believe anything the demons say. And kill the demons as soon as you see them.”

“As expected, it’s a family with a long history. Lael Reston. Is that what that fearsome human said?”

“How would I know that, you idiot?”

“Haha! You’re really a crazy person, aren’t you? You’re the only one who can swear like that in front of me. I like it, Caron Reston. Well then… … I guess our negotiations have fallen through.”

The Demon King of Sloth rose from his seat again.

And then slowly approached Charon.

The moment he takes a step.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Cracks begin to appear in the air.

An unrealistic scene unfolded, as if cracks were spreading across a glass window.

“As long as your minds are connected, if this place collapses, you will be stranded here.”

This is Motsby’s spiritual world.

The Demon King of Sloth, who has already encroached upon this world, begins to destroy it.

“You will become my greatest enemy someday. So die here.”

The Demon King of Sloth lightly reached out his hand, mocking Charon.

OK.

Tsk tsk tsk-!

A yellow solid line began to draw in the air and began to rush towards Charon.

But Caron kept his eyes on the Demon King of Sloth until the end. And he spoke with murderous intent.

“I promise you one thing.”

Demon.

And the Demon King standing on the Demon’s island.

My goal in this life is only those guys. Those who possess black magic, those who led me to ruin in my previous life, I will definitely erase them from this world.

Rather, I was grateful.

Thank you for reminding me of my original intentions every time.

For reminding me of my purpose in life.

That is why Charon made one promise to the Demon King of Sloth.

“You won’t achieve anything here. I will risk my life to stop you.”

“Anyway, he’s going to be locked up here, so what’s with his tongue… .”

That was when.

Paaaaat-!

A sudden burst of blue light pulled Charon’s body towards him.

It was a magic that was all too familiar to Caron.

Charon felt the magic pulling him towards it. Then he smiled at the Demon King of Sloth and said:

“You think I came in without any insurance? You stupid punk. Wipe your neck and wait. I’ll cut your balls off as many times as I can. Okay?”

That concludes it all.

Paaaaat-!

Blue light completely engulfed Charon’s body.

After a very short while, Charon was finally able to successfully escape Motsby’s mind.

The blue sky of the Great Forest appeared again in Charon’s sight.

and.

“Caron! Are you okay?”

Leo pushed his face in.

He had a serious expression on his face.

Leo’s right hand held a silph covered in red blood.

“Caron. Speak!”

“It’s because my headache is so bad.”

“Am I too late?”

Motsby’s right hand, which had the traitor’s ring on it, had already been cut off.

It seemed like Leo had taken a bold step.

Caron chuckled and slapped Leo on the back.

“No? It was just right. There were variables, but… …. Thanks to you, hyung, I got through it safely. Thank you.”

“… …Why are you thanking me first?”

“This time it was really dangerous.”

Caron looked down at Motsby furtively.

Whether or not he had a complete mental breakdown, Motsby was just breathing with unfocused eyes.

-The owner was too careless. I almost lost consciousness with him. I think I was able to stop it somehow… … .

Guillotine, who would have bitten Caron roughly if it were normal, pointed at him in a rather gentle tone.

Guillotine also seemed quite flustered.

Caron let out a small sigh, then stood up, dusting off his knees.

“I got the information I needed.”

As a result, there was a lot of income.

The Demon King of Sloth is directly involved in this incident.

“I need to change my plans.”

Maybe we should assume the worst.

Caron, who had thought that far, immediately took out the communication device from his bosom.

I won’t just sit back and watch things go as the Demon King of Sloth wants.

……certainly.

8.

Same time.

Galad, the elven city located in the Southern Great Forest.

A great number of guests were visiting the temple of the World Tree where the regent resided.

“… … You can’t tell me, that’s what it means.”

“I am merely a messenger of my mother’s will. No matter how much you ask me, nothing will change.”

The regent took a sip of fragrant herbal tea.

In front of her sat an old human being.

A person with white hair who has an overwhelming presence around him.

It was Halo Reston, a strong man who was so strong that it was hard to believe he was human.

“You can’t even tell me why the World Tree chose Charon?”

“Unfortunately, that is true.”

An unofficial visit to Halo.

The regent could sense the purpose of Halo’s visit even before a few words were exchanged.

‘I’m suspicious of Caron Reston.’

It seemed certain that Grand Duke Halo was beginning to suspect his grandson, Charon Reston.

Otherwise, I would not have asked such detailed questions about Caron.

“Did Kerua have anything to say?”

Halo nodded with a bitter smile at the regent’s question.

“He was sarcastically saying that I raised my grandson well once.”

“… … I agree with that statement.”

Caron Reston.

A being who will bring a new future to the elves.

The regent knew about Charon’s past life, but had no intention of telling Halo.

Because it wasn’t his job to reveal the secret.

Percussion.

She let out a soft breath as she set her teacup down on the table. Then she looked happily at the little girl in Halo’s arms.

“It seems like your great-granddaughter is pleased.”

“I can’t help but like it.”

“I agree with that too.”

Aqua, the hatchling of Etaron.

Aqua called Charon her father, so Halo was her great-grandfather in terms of genealogy.

“Great-grandfather! Is dad busy?”

“They should be far away by now.”

“I don’t feel so good. Something must have happened to Dad.”

Halo had never heard of this great-granddaughter from Charon.

It is also said that the great-granddaughter’s true identity is the dragon hatchling.

If you think about it, there was a lot that Charon was hiding.

I didn’t have any major doubts until now, but recently I’ve been getting more and more suspicious.

Even though I came all the way to the Southern Forest to clear up that suspicion, the regent’s attitude was stubborn.

“Your Majesty, I would like to offer you some advice, even if it is presumptuous.”

“I am not so foolish as to ignore the regent’s advice. I will listen to it.”

“You got things in the wrong order. If you had any questions for Karon, you should have asked him first.”

“… … That’s right.”

Halo nodded and took a sip of tea. Then he slowly stroked Aqua’s head.

In front of his cute great-granddaughter, he put aside his majestic appearance as the head of the household.

Aqua rubbed her head with a bashful smile at Halo’s touch.

“I think I can tell you the reason why the World Tree chose Charon.”

A subtle question.

But the regent was a formidable enemy.

“How many children understand their parents’ wishes?”

She took Halo’s questions in a soft voice.

At those words, Halo realized that the Regent had no intention of giving any answer.

“My heart is heavy because it seems like Your Highness has made a wasted effort.”

“As the regent said, I was just trying to find the easy way out. Don’t worry about it. I don’t think it was a waste of time.”

Halo took a good look at the things Charon had changed since coming here.

The long-standing conflict between the Naga and the Elves has ended, and the Elves, who had been closed off until then, have begun to open their doors.

All of these were changes brought about by Charon.

Regardless of the suspicion, deep down, Charon was a special Halo.

“Caron, you will change a lot in the future. That’s all I can tell you.”

At the regent’s words, Halo nodded with a bitter smile.

“The coming era will belong to Charon, that child. No, perhaps that child’s era has already arrived.”

“I am only seventeen years old. Do you still think so?”

“exactly.”

The choice of the guillotine. And the prophecy of the world tree.

A lot of coincidences intersect.

People call that fate.

Why was Charon born with such a fate?

I had many thoughts, but in the end, the regent was right. If I didn’t talk to Charon directly, I would never find out.

“You shouldn’t fight with Dad.”

“hmm?”

“Dad, you also love your great-grandfather a lot! So don’t scold him too much.”

“Heh heh, you punk. Why do you think I’d bother Charon? Well, I guess I need to bother him for hiding you.”

“lol.”

Halo smiled bitterly, patting Aqua’s head once more.

I was planning to talk to Caron as soon as he got back.

What on earth do you know, and what do you know that makes you so desperate?

I will ask you as a grandfather, not as the head of the household.

Because Charon was his most beloved grandson.

Even though he’s an uncontrollable rascal.

It was around this time that Halo was lost in thought.

Knock knock.

“Your Majesty, this is Orion.”

“Come on in.”

An elf walked into the temple’s reception room.

The patrol leader was Orion.

“I have an urgent matter to report. It seems to me that Grand Duke Halo should also be aware of it.”

“Is there a problem?”

Orion took a deep breath in response to the regent’s question, then reported in a low voice.

“We have a request for assistance from Caron Reston.”

After a while, Orion’s words continued, and the atmosphere in the guest room became cold and frozen.

“It is said that Charon encountered the Demon King of Sloth in the Eastern Forest.”

Hearing that, Halo clenched his fists and asked back.

“Say it again.”

News that could turn the continent upside down was delivered.

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