Episode 222 71. I Will Definitely Find You

One.

Leo bit his lip as he watched Cain swing his sword at him.

My eyes are dizzy.

The moonlight emitted by countless moons.

And the dark blue petals that encroached on the surroundings.

The swordsmanship displayed by a being who has reached the pinnacle of imperial swordsmanship constantly dazzles the eyes.

【Master, in the middle!】

Chaeaeaeaaeng-!

Leo, with the help of Ligor, knocked away Cain’s sword.

Just by blocking the sword, your hand will be torn off.

Blood trickled out through the thin gauntlet he was wearing.

‘… Cain Rathor.’

Loyal to the Emperor.

At the same time, he is a close friend of my grandfather.

A person from 50 years ago came to pressure me in a realistic manner.

The situation itself was embarrassing.

Leo had no idea why the palace from 50 years ago had appeared, or why he had transformed into his grandfather Halo.

I just moved as my instincts led me.

After slaying countless demons, we finally arrived at the main palace, but Cain Rathor was waiting for us there.

Chaeaeaeaeaaeng-!

He lifted his sword and erased one moon.

The flower petals hidden behind the moon brushed past his body, but Leo bit his lips and received them with his body.

You can’t stop everything.

Just take that attack with a firm and solid stance.

The imperial swordsmanship that Cain displayed was so varied that it was impossible to even estimate, but responding to it was not at all difficult.

‘So familiar.’

Why does Caron’s face come to mind in this situation?

I don’t know if Cain resembles Charon’s swordsmanship, or Charon resembles Cain’s swordsmanship.

The important thing was that thanks to my experience of crossing swords with Cain, I was able to somehow resist.

Kuuung.

Leo stomped his foot with magical power. Then, part of the stairs collapsed and Cain’s body tilted slightly.

You must not miss that opportunity.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

The vortex Leo summoned blocked Cain’s back, and Leo stabbed his sword straight into Cain’s chest.

Jeez-!

He didn’t forget to use Ligor’s power either.

The cold air that suddenly radiated from Ligor froze my legs.

An unavoidable attack.

It blocked the escape route and restricted movement.

Leo had no doubt that this attack would be successful.

But the monster before his eyes easily distorted his thorough calculations.

Kwaaaaang-!

The flower petals that Cain had scattered into the air exploded all at once.

A massive shockwave swept through Cain and Leo’s entire bodies.

It was a decision made in a split second. Even the one who cast the technique suffered internal injuries, but in the end, Leo’s sword path was twisted.

“Coolook.”

Leo regained consciousness as he vomited blood from his mouth.

I knew it was an illusion, but the pain was so vivid.

Cain was also nearby, so he would have taken similar damage. But that monster.

Phew! Phew!

“Keuh-euh-euh.”

Leo struck his own thigh with the back of his sword.

“Lower body, lower body is still weak.”

Leo glared at Cain with wide eyes.

The fact that he was injured was the same. In fact, blood was flowing down from the corner of Cain’s mouth.

But those two eyes.

Those two eyes, sparkling with madness, were different.

Leo thought there was something familiar about those eyes.

‘… … Even the look in his eyes is the same as Caron’s?’

A look in the eyes that has lost its flavor.

It was definitely not a normal look, but it was so similar to Caron’s.

Is that why?

I came to my senses.

Leo took a deep breath as he straightened his posture.

“Surely, Grandfather… … No, the friend who competed with me… … That’s right.”

Then Cain clicked his tongue as if he found it pitiful.

“If you’re going to act, do it right. Who the hell are you imitating?”

“Acting? I don’t know what you’re misunderstanding. My name is Halo Reston.”

“… … Let’s just hit him first. It was my fault for thinking he had grown too much.”

after that.

Phew! Phew!

The merciless beating began with a fist being driven into the stomach.

“My chest is empty. My chest! My chest! My chest!”

Phew!

“This time, legs! Waist! Ah, just empty them all out!”

Phew! Phew!

“Keuh-euh-euh.”

Leo quickly raised his magical power, but Cain in front of him clung to him tenaciously like a mad dog.

I couldn’t even swing my sword properly.

Swords, pommels, etc.

Cain showed off every attack he could at close range.

‘… … Is it still too early for me to go through the coming of age ceremony?’

Despair slowly raised its head.

Cain Lathor is responding as if he knows exactly what Leo is going to do.

wall.

It also feels like I’m facing a huge wall.

This feeling of helplessness, the frustration of facing a wall, and the merciless punching.

It’s Caron.

No, this can only be explained as Caron.

“악황 새끼 족치러 가야 하니까 이 정도에 그치는 줄 알아. 악황 새끼만 없었잖아? 어차피 환상인 거, 그냥 배때기에다가 칼을 확!”

“Car, Caron?”

“No? I’m Cain Lathor.”

“… … Heh. Hey, don’t lie. This is definitely Caron… … .”

At those words, Caron chuckled and put his fist in. Then he spoke in a soft voice.

“I never lied?”

I swear to heaven, Charon, that I have told only the truth.

Leo just doesn’t understand.

“It’s an illusion anyway, so there won’t be any traces. This is the perfect crime.”

“Hey, Charon. In our language… … .”

“I said it was Cain.”

The love-battery towards my cousin began.

2.

In front of the entrance to the main palace.

Charon looked at Halo’s, or rather Leo’s, battered face and laughed as if it was amused.

His face is covered in bruises.

It was even better because it was Halo’s face.

“Who would dare to speak ill of me in front of me?”

“I told you, I didn’t know it was you at first. I thought it was an illusion of the real Cain Rathor… … .”

“You’re saying that if it weren’t for me, you would have been gossiping a lot. Do you want to get hit again?”

“I’ll tell the master.”

“Tell me. There won’t be any evidence anyway.”

Charon slowly walked forward, teasing Leo slightly.

The moment Leo appeared in Halo’s form, I knew the goal of this ordeal.

Join forces with Leo to fight the evil emperor.

That’s why Charon set foot in the main palace with Leo.

It’s adorned with gold, but it’s extremely ominous.

For some time now, a strong black magic has been felt in the main palace.

This is a dark magic that cannot be dismissed as a fantasy.

Thump.

The sound of their footsteps echoed throughout the palace. There was no one guarding this place.

In that respect, Caron thought that this fantasy embodied history quite well.

Even in the history of the original world, the only one who guarded this place was Cain Rathor.

“Are you nervous?”

Charon asked Leo in a suggestive tone. Leo slowly shook his head.

“I thought of Grandfather. Grandfather… … After cutting down his most precious friend, didn’t he come here? How would he feel?”

“He is truly a filial son. He understands his grandfather’s feelings.”

In the original history, Halo alone enters the throne.

He goes to see the evil emperor alone and then deposes him from the throne.

Of course, I don’t know what happened between the evil emperor and Halo.

‘I was dead at that time.’

If we do it right, wouldn’t we be able to find out the secret of that day?

However, one thing that is bothering me is this dark magic that I have been feeling since a while ago.

I don’t know if the dragon’s magic power can even manifest black magic, but the black magic was really strong that day.

“Guillotine.”

-uh.

“Be ready to fight at any time. You too, Leo.”

Charon warned the group and then stood in front of the giant door.

When you open this door, the Emperor’s throne comes into view.

It was a place I had been to countless times in my previous life, so it was very familiar to me.

Squeak.

He opened the door without hesitation and stepped inside.

A blood-red carpet extending all the way to the throne.

Charon stepped on the carpet.

In the vision I encountered through the Stone of Oath, there was no owner of the throne.

But now, the throne had a master.

“The loyal knight of the Jim, and the one who will drag the Jim out of here, has finally arrived.”

A voice filled with dark magic resonated.

Charon raised his head and looked at the throne.

A man wearing a yellow robe that was long enough to sweep the floor. He had skin as white as jade and long black hair that reached down to his shoulders.

And golden eyes that emit an ominous light.

That’s right.

It was the evil emperor who had insulted Cain Rathor’s life until the last moment.

I couldn’t forget that face no matter how hard I tried.

Charon laughed bitterly and knelt down on one knee. Then he spoke with a mixture of hatred and shame.

“Your Majesty, it is my pleasure to see you again, your son.”

He pays tribute to his former lord with great disrespect.

It was an extremely irreverent greeting.

Thump.

But the emperor smiled brightly, spread his arms wide, and took each step up the stairs.

“Cain Lathor. My poor loyal dog. At last, you appear before me with a sword in hand.”

Sarrururuk-!

Hundreds of black magic branches stretched out from behind the evil emperor and began to encroach on the surroundings in an instant.

The evil emperor was a member of the Demon King’s retinue.

A human whom the Demon King of Evil took great care of.

Kkwaddeuk-!

The throne, eroded by black magic, turned black. The once brilliantly shining gold lost its luster, and soon a dull, inky color spread out in all directions.

Wow!

The chandelier that had been installed on the ceiling fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.

Was this the exact evil Halo faced?

Beings called Demon Kings satisfy the greed of mortals and receive a reward for it.

However, the Emperor was an absolute monarch who sat on the throne of the most powerful country on the continent.

What on earth could a powerful person desire when he could take millions of lives with a snap of his fingers?

“I’m glad you still look like a beast. I should thank the dragons for this.”

“Why?”

“You have allowed me to tear apart Your Majesty’s limbs, even if only in a fantasy.”

Caron stood up from his seat.

“I thought a lot about how I should kill you.”

A terrifyingly thick murderous aura began to flow out of Charon’s body.

The guillotine responded to such a killing blow from Charon.

-You must not lose your mind, Master. The power of slaughter may consume you.

“I am more alert now than I have ever been.”

The sea of ​​Charon was rippling.

The seven seas, filled with rage, spread out in all directions in an instant.

The emperor looked at Caron with interest.

“You still can’t reach me with that power. Do you still plan to rush at me?”

“There is a lot to say about fantasy topics.”

“It’s an illusion… …. It might feel that way to you.”

The emperor stopped halfway up the stairs and looked down at Charon with a leisurely expression.

The smile on his lips grew deeper.

“However, my presence here is entirely my own will. If you thought that the ancient magic of the dragons could do anything to me, you were mistaken.”

Black magic fluttered.

“Cain Lathor, my loyal dog. How do you like the new life that has been given to you? How does it feel to enjoy the freedom you so desperately desired?”

The emperor snapped his long, white fingers.

“Whether I am an illusion or a reality right now, it doesn’t matter at all.”

Ki-ki-ki-ki.

Giggle.

Death Knights clad in Imperial Guard armor rose from all sides.

An overwhelming black magic began to swirl within the palace.

At the center of the storm, the evil emperor whispered to Charon.

“The only thing that matters is that the one standing in front of you is a burden. Isn’t that right, my loyal dog?”

The voice of the evil emperor echoed in Caron’s head.

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