4.

The shape of the evil spirit was so distorted that it was unrecognizable.

Not only the head, but also the body.

Only the flesh of what was once a wicked emperor is rolling around on the floor.

The throne was already stained with the blood of the evil emperor. However, the voice of the evil emperor did not stop.

【Madness. Hatred. Looking at you now, you are truly worthy of the Demon King’s throne. If you wish, I will gladly give you my place.】

Woohoo.

The ceiling of the main palace was completely dyed purple.

An eye appeared in the center of the purple light, staring straight at Charon.

What appeared at first glance to be a purple cloud was actually the essence of black magic.

The Death Knights who had rushed at me as if to kill me were already frozen like statues.

The old subordinates were just staring at Charon, frozen like stone statues.

Charon looked at them and smiled bitterly.

If the crisis is real and not an illusion, then they too will be the same.

“You fools. Why didn’t you just run away back then?”

The knights who guarded the palace until the last moment.

Their deaths were dishonorable, but even death could not be desecrated for that reason alone.

Kwaaaaaaaah-!

Charon swung his guillotine, creating a wave. The angry wave engulfed the Death Knights who were standing there dumbfounded, and soon an ominous silence filled the main palace.

Charon, who had granted eternal rest to his subordinates, turned his gaze again to look at the purple essence.

The black magic of the evil emperor.

It was the cursed black magic that had devoured my entire past life.

【How does it feel to face the power that has been toying with your life?】

It was a black magic fit for the ordeal.

That black magic was also the curse that Cain Rathor so desperately wanted to escape from.

【Will you take this power? Or will you go back? The choice is yours.】

It was a massive amount of black magic.

If I can just absorb that black magic, opening the eighth sea will be no problem.

It was definitely an opportunity to get closer to the level I had reached in my previous life.

【Take that power. Become stronger and reach Jim. Cut off Jim’s head with your sharply trained swordsmanship and overwhelming power.】

The voice of the evil emperor constantly rang in my ears.

The guy was hiding behind dark magic and kept eating away at my mind.

It was a voice that I couldn’t resist at one time. Is his imprint still deep in my soul?

Charon felt the urge to reach out and touch that essence right now.

You can become strong easily.

The power to take revenge. The desire to seek that power kept stirring in a corner of my heart.

-… … We can’t digest that, Master.

Guillotine had warned. The power of the essence was so strong that even Guillotine, the natural enemy of black magic, was dumbfounded.

But the voice of the evil emperor rang out more and more clearly.

【Get drunk. Burn your enemies. Pierce the burden with the sword filled with hatred.】

dizzy.

Even though quite some time has passed, it seems like we still haven’t been freed from that day 50 years ago.

The voice of the evil emperor mercilessly penetrated Charon’s mind.

-Mind… … tea… … .

Even Guillotine’s voice grew faint.

Ttukbuk.

Charon unconsciously walked towards the essence.

The essence of purple that shines so captivatingly on the throne.

If it were now, I might be able to absorb it without difficulty. With this powerful anti-magic flowing in the blood of the Duke of Reston, wouldn’t the results be different from my previous life?

My thinking is clouded.

And the more my thoughts became clouded, the more I felt an endless desire to take that essence.

Thump.

Finally, Charon stopped before the throne.

The throne, stained red by the blood of the evil emperor, gave off an ominous light.

【You are the greatest masterpiece that Jim has ever created. Only by obtaining that power can you be reborn as a complete being.】

Just as Charon was about to step onto the throne, someone’s voice pierced through his hazy mind.

“Hey you crazy kid! Are you out of your mind?”

The sharp voice woke Charon up.

“Absorb that black magic and become a real madman?”

Leo’s voice was clear and straight.

The straight voice pierced through the ceaseless, mind-bending voice of the evil emperor, digging into Caron’s mind.

“What would you gain by doing that? If you become no better than the Demon King in order to kill the Demon King, what’s the point of it?”

Little by little, the madness in Caron’s eyes began to subside at the desperate voice.

Charon slowly turned his head and looked at Leo.

Woohoo-!

The pure white sword, Ligor, held by Leo was emitting a thick cold aura.

“Just try to reach out to that mass of black magic. I’ll freeze your entire body in that state.”

Wooooow-!

Leo’s sea spread out in all directions.

The sea stretching out in all directions was wider than ever.

Charon noticed that Leo had opened the seventh sea at some point.

I don’t know how Leo reached the 7-star level, but I can tell that he’s desperate right now.

Jeez-!

A cold ice covered Leo’s sea. The cold air controlled by Leo soon reached Charon’s eyes.

“There are so many things I want to ask you right now. How does the evil emperor know you? What is the meaning of the conversation between the two of you? … I have no idea. So you tell me yourself later.”

Leo raised his sword and aimed it at Charon. Then he shouted in a trembling voice.

“Stop thinking nonsense, you crazy bastard!”

The moment Leo’s voice rang out loud, Charon was able to completely wake up from the voice of the evil emperor.

Charon stood on the throne and looked down at Leo. Then he smiled faintly.

“Thank you, bro. I almost made the same mistake again.”

My hazy mind has finally come to its senses.

“older brother.”

Caron called Leo in a subtle manner. Then Leo nodded with a weak smile.

“say.”

“Do you trust me?”

“… … Trust me. You’re my little brother.”

At those words, Caron nodded with a smirk.

“That’s right. I’m your brother’s younger brother. That fact alone won’t change.”

Leo also heard the conversation with the evil emperor clearly.

Maybe Leo, too, might have figured out Charon’s secret.

Even though he always seemed like an idiot, he wasn’t completely clueless.

But it was a story that Leo should have known someday. That’s why Caron decided to put off talking about it for a while.

“Phew.”

Charon took a deep breath and turned around.

I now know for sure how this unpleasant ordeal will end.

From the beginning there were two choices.

Either absorb this purple essence, or destroy it.

“You are truly vicious.”

I’ve heard that dragons have precognitive powers.

Could it be that even this whole situation was calculated by the dragons?

Caron smiled bitterly and made his choice.

“The past should remain the past.”

This purple essence is just a symbol of the past.

If it had been a past life, I would have gladly accepted it, but it wasn’t necessary in this life.

As Leo said, you can become strong enough without this.

Indigestible black magic is nothing more than poison.

Charon silently raised his guillotine and swung a wave toward the purple essence.

Kwaaaaah-!

The dark blue magic struck the purple essence, and at that moment, a scream so loud it tore through the eardrums echoed from the essence.

Kkiyaaaaaaaaaaah!

The screams of countless people were mixed together.

It seems that the victims’ resentment was embedded in their soul.

Jeez-!

The giant essence split in half, and an enormous amount of black magic began to flow out through the gap.

【Indeed, this life is different.】

Even though things didn’t go according to plan, the emperor’s voice was relaxed.

【I respect your choice. However, since you did not take my power, I must give you something else instead. I will not take away what is precious to you. Hatred will also make you stronger.】

The moment he heard that, Caron shouted at Leo.

“Brother! Blood right now… … .”

But it was already too late.

Kwajijijik-!

A giant harpoon rose from the ground and pierced Leo’s chest.

“Kekekekeke.”

Leo was impaled on the harpoon and vomited blood.

【You can’t take a life, but you can break a spirit. This is another gift Jim gives you.】

The purple color fades.

The purple eyes floating in the air quickly faded away.

【The seeds that Jim planted have already sprouted. You are one of those seeds. So hurry and come. Before the void watches over you… … .】

Phew.

With those words, the purple essence was completely destroyed.

The black magic flowing from the essence began to sweep through the main palace, but Caron paid no attention and approached Leo.

“Car, Caron.”

Charon hurried to check Leo’s condition.

Since it was just a fantasy, the physical wounds were not a problem. However, Leo’s soul was being tainted by dark magic.

If this continues, my soul will collapse.

Charon used all his might to infuse his magic into Leo’s body.

Kuuuuung-!

Kuuung!

The ceiling of the main palace collapses.

Rocks rained down from all sides, some of which struck Charon in the head.

But Caron was unconcerned.

Because saving Leo’s soul was the priority.

“Sex… …recognition. Did it fail?”

Leo asked with a forced smile. At that, Caron said with annoyance.

“Does that matter now?”

“It’s… important… If you… pass the coming-of-age ceremony… … I won’t be your… older brother anymore… … .”

“Do you know that you’re a total madman, hyung?”

“… … It’s because of you… … . You crazy bastard… … .”

The speed at which the main palace collapses continues to increase.

Jeez-!

The black magic flowing out of the water began to run wild and rush towards Charon and Leo.

Woohoo.

Charon created a shield through Pluto and spoke to Leo.

“If you’re tired, just sleep.”

“My little brother is having a hard time, so I can’t just sleep alone… … I can’t.”

“How foolish.”

“… … Run away even if you’re alone.”

“That can’t be happening. If we do that, we’ll end up doing whatever that evil bastard wants. I can’t stand seeing that evil bastard smile, hyung.”

Charon raised his guillotine once more, and fired his magical power towards the half-exposed ceiling as the building collapsed.

Pushuung-!

The magical power condensed at the tip of the sword flew toward the sky like a signal flare.

“If the great beings have a conscience, they will come to help.”

“… … Is that so?”

“They don’t want me to die here. If they don’t help me, I’ll just die here with my brother.”

“Are you really crazy?”

“Brother, there is nothing more powerful than a threat to your life. Trust me.”

Leo couldn’t help but laugh at Caron’s reckless words.

Because those were truly Caron-like words.

And as always.

Paaaaat-!

Caron’s words were not wrong.

Amidst the rampage of black magic, a blue-glowing door appeared.

Caron looked at the door and smiled faintly.

“I told you so?”

“You are truly amazing.”

“When there is no other way, you can use threats.”

“That’s really good information.”

Knock. Knock.

Before he knew it, blood was dripping down to Charon’s feet. The blood that had flowed from his head was pooling on the floor, but Charon carried Leo around with an indifferent expression.

“Let’s go out slowly.”

Caron stepped forward, carrying Leo on his back.

The moment the two entered the door.

“Excellent, my descendants. I respect your choice.”

An unknown voice rang in my ears.

And after a while.

Paaaaat-!

An infinitely clear blue light filled their vision.

“I entrust everything to you. The oath has been made. From here on out, it’s yours.”

Whose voice was it?

But Caron decided not to think too deeply about it.

‘……I’m tired.’

A terrible fatigue was creeping in.

The coming-of-age ceremony is over.

That will do.

Charon accepted the magical power that enveloped his body warmly without resistance.

And so the coming of age ceremony for the two ended.

Caron Reston and Leo Reston are grown adults.
