Episode 225 72. His Grave

One.

Sabina looked out at the sea of ​​beginnings with a serious expression.

“… … Lady Gratia. That just now… … .”

As the waves rippled, a strong dark magic could be felt from the sea.

This is a black magic that is incomparably more vicious than the black magic that spread across the North Sea.

I didn’t know what happened to the eldest grandsons who were having their coming-of-age ceremony.

Gratia also looked at the sea with a serious expression in response to Sabina’s question.

“Sabina Reston. I also have no idea what’s going on in those waters.”

“Caron’s expression is accurate. How irresponsible.”

“… …Caron Reston and Leo Reston must have entered into the illusion of what they wished for. I am only their guide, not their accomplice in overcoming the ordeal.”

Gratia’s face wasn’t much different from Sabina’s.

Sabina let out a small sigh as she placed her hand on her sword. Then she spoke quietly to Gratia.

“If something happens to our children… … .”

“Are you going to swing your sword at me, the Guardian Dragon?”

“If you need.”

Sabina, who had shown her respect earlier, was already nowhere to be found.

Gratia swallowed a bitter smile as he faced Sabina’s murderous will.

“Whether they overcome the ordeal or are consumed by it is up to them.”

“No adult would just sit by and let children die.”

“……Right.”

The two continued to look out at the sea with nervous expressions.

How much time has passed like that?

Kwaaaaaaaah-!

The sea split in half as a huge magical force stirred. And in between.

“Leo! Charon!”

Two young men with pale faces appeared.

Sabina immediately took her hand off the hilt of her sword and ran forward.

Chulbuk- Chulbuk-.

As soon as Charon reached the beach, he threw Leo on the ground and lay down next to him.

“Whew. I almost died.”

As soon as the two young men lay down on the beach, Sabina arrived right in front of them.

“Caron. Are you okay?”

Caron nodded and smiled at Sabina’s question.

“I’m fine. I’m more worried about Leo.”

Caron slowly turned his head to the side while lying down.

Before disappearing, the evil emperor breathed black magic into Leo.

Although I tried to purify the black magic as quickly as possible, it was only an emergency measure.

In fact, I could still feel the dark magic coming from Leo.

“……I’m okay.”

Leo struggled to find a voice.

“I feel a little dirty.”

“How specifically?”

“It’s just dirty.”

“That’s how it is when you get attacked by demon lords.”

“Both of you, be careful with your words. You need to take care of yourself first.”

Woohoo.

Sabina quickly placed both hands on Leo’s stomach and gently breathed her magic into him.

‘The amount of black magic is considerable.’

It was a dark magic that would have caused a normal person to lose their mind long ago.

But at the same time, a strange, clear magic was felt in Leo’s body.

This is not Charon’s violent magic.

‘The purest form of the magic of clarity.’

It was Sabina’s first encounter with the magic of clarity.

Even the Halo and Elders did not possess this pure magic of clarity.

Sabina realized that this magic was the achievement Leo had gained through this coming of age ceremony.

I don’t know the exact principle, but this pure magic power was controlling the black magic.

While Sabina was treating Leo’s wounds, Gratia came up to them and let out a small exclamation.

“The magic of Rael. You two met Rael during your trials.”

At those words, Charon remembered the voice he had heard before he came out of his illusion.

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

Could it be that the owner of that voice was Lael Reston?

Caron nodded with a smirk.

“But our ancestor. He didn’t let his descendants die. You should be thankful. Brother Leo. How does it feel to have reached the 7th star thanks to our ancestor?”

“… … I’m 7 stars?”

“uh.”

Leo checked his body condition as if he couldn’t believe it. And after a while, he said as if he was slightly moved.

“Nonsense.”

“Now, you’ve surpassed Brother Hugo and Sister Leon in your accomplishments. How does it feel to be a genius?”

“How on earth is this… … . Hey, Caron, what about you?”

“I don’t think I received anything in particular… … .”

As Charon was about to slowly raise his magical power to check the core, Guillotine sighed and said.

-Ha. Such a vicious master has reached the 8th star? It seems like the world is truly going to end. Now he’s trying to match even Sir Jeras.

It was as Guillotine said.

Kwaaaaaaaah-!

As Charon unleashed his magical power, the eight seas formed around the core began to resonate simultaneously.

The newly opened eighth sea is still dry, but it can be filled through magical power training.

It wasn’t the size of the sea that mattered.

The mere fact that the sea was formed meant that it had entered the eighth planet.

“Congratulations on reaching 8 stars, Caron.”

Sabina looked at Caron with a bright smile.

Now, even the word monster could not describe Charon.

disaster.

Perhaps the word disaster would be more appropriate.

“The eighth sea will present you with things that are incomparable to the seas you have seen so far. You cannot fill that sea with just magical power cultivation. Only a very small number of people reach the eighth star, and even among them, only a few can see the end of the eighth star.”

The realm that Charon reached in his previous life.

But it is an unknown territory that even Charon cannot see the end of.

From here on out, it was purely a battle against oneself. Caron understood exactly what Sabina was saying.

“The eight stars of the Duke of Reston also mean something else.”

Sabina, who had finished administering first aid to Leo, slowly stood up from her seat. Then she spoke to Charon in a low voice.

“There are no 8 types in the Haerang Sword. Charon. From now on, you must create your own 8 types. Unique. Create a unique type that will represent you.”

“Yes, Sabina.”

My first goal in this life.

Reaching the realm of a previous life.

It was the moment when the goal was achieved. As complex emotions appeared on Caron’s face, Sabina patted Caron on the back. Then she patted Leo’s head and said.

“Congratulations on becoming an adult, Leo. Caron.”

She extended her congratulations to her grandchildren.

The two young wolves thus became proud members of the wolf pack.

2.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, when Charon returned to Sabina’s cabin, the first thing he asked was Gratia to take care of Leo.

Caron, because he had somewhere to go with Sabina.

“Please, Lady Gratia.”

“Don’t worry and go.”

“Brother Leo’s black magic is… … .”

“It doesn’t look like a big problem to me. Rael’s magic is eating away at Leo’s black magic, so if you get some rest you’ll be fine.”

“That’s great. Well, I’ll be off then.”

“Hello, Caron.”

“Brother. Stop wandering around and get some sleep. Okay?”

“… … Take care of yourself.”

Squeak.

Caron closed the cabin door and glanced at Sabina.

“Let’s go.”

Then Sabina clicked her tongue and said,

“Your condition isn’t all that great either. If it’s not urgent, it seems like it would be best for you to rest and go.”

“I’m fine. Is the grave a bit far from here?”

“No. It only takes 30 minutes.”

“Let’s talk about the details while running.”

There were quite a few questions I had for Sabina.

Sabina sighed at Caron’s words and immediately took the lead.

Wheeing-!

The sharp North Sea wind blew across Charon’s face. Still, it was a good place to run without any plan.

Perhaps because of the bitter cold and dark magic, the plants seemed to be unable to grow properly.

Thanks to this, the snowfield covered in pure white snow stretched out beyond the horizon.

“I encountered the evil emperor in my vision. I was in the form of Lord Cain Rathor, and Brother Leo was in the form of my grandfather.”

“It was the very day that the evil emperor was dethroned.”

“yes.”

Charon described the vision he had seen in a calm voice.

“Sabina. Sabina, did you know?”

“what?”

“The fact that my grandfather didn’t kill the evil emperor.”

The history books say that Halo decapitated the evil emperor, meaning that Charon’s words were a denial of the family’s achievements.

A question of the utmost irreverence.

But Sabina just nodded indifferently, as if she had expected this question.

“Yes. My brother didn’t cut off the Emperor’s breath. No, to be exact, he couldn’t cut it off.”

“Why?”

“At that time, the evil emperor was already no different from the demon king’s avatar. All we could do was destroy the avatar.”

The hidden stories of that day began to flow out of Sabina’s mouth.

Charon listened to the stories as he stepped on the snow.

“The Demon King of Evil has already scattered his seeds throughout the empire. After driving out the evil emperor, our dukedom secretly carried out a purge operation. The number of them was so great that the purge operation lasted for five years.”

Sabina began telling Caron many stories from those words.

Five years of purges.

The situation in the empire was thrown into chaos because of this.

And the reason why the Duke of Reston remained quiet for nearly 50 years.

These were not difficult stories to understand.

Although the purge was carried out in secret, the people of the Empire knew that the Duke of Reston was destabilizing the Empire, and that the new Emperor was nothing more than a puppet.

“At that time, there were even rumors going around that my brother would ascend to the throne of the empire. So we had no choice but to make a choice.”

“It would have been fun if I had just ascended to the throne then.”

“… … My brother wanted a strong empire. He wanted the empire to be a great force in the wars that would come in the future. That’s why my brother ascended to the position of Grand Duke and took on the role of keeping the imperial family and other nobles in check.”

The presence of strong competitors brings rapid growth.

In other words, the Duke of Reston has become a sword aimed at the empire.

The mere existence of an Archduke who could overthrow the Emperor at any time would have made the imperial family and other nobles of the Empire nervous.

This terrible tension became the driving force for development, and indeed the Empire began to rebuild at a tremendous pace.

Those times continued and the current Orias Empire exists.

“Perhaps, if my brother had ascended to the throne at that time, the empire would have been divided and at the same time would have regressed.”

“Well, I think my grandfather would have been a great emperor.”

“Hmm, that sounds interesting.”

“It would have been okay if I had just taken them all down with force… … . Ugh. Then I’m the grandson now, right?”

“Do you want to become a prince?”

“Why should I take that troublesome position? I just like the Grand Duke’s grandson.”

Actually, that’s something no one knows.

Because there is no such thing as if in history.

Charon smiled bitterly, then recalled the stories he had shared with the evil emperor in his fantasies.

The evil emperor said that his seeds had already spread far enough. And that was probably it,

‘It must be related to the lottery people.’

This may be a word referring to the lottery syndicate that runs wild.

Moreover, on the way to the North Sea, I saw doppelgangers being installed. It was clear that there was an evil plot going on in the imperial family.

That’s why I’m rushing like this.

Because I had to check the tomb quickly and then return to Cheonghae Castle.

“Is there a reason you are looking for Cain’s tomb?”

Caron nodded slowly to Sabina’s question.

“I have something to check.”

The evil spirit is alive.

If he was evil, he would not have left Cain Rathor’s body alone.

Actually, didn’t you encounter a doppelganger with Cain’s face last time?

“There are things to finish.”

Charon ran forward with his eyes shining.

If Cain Rathor’s body remains in the tomb.

‘I have to erase it.’

I intended to burn it without leaving even a trace.

“Please hurry, Sabina.”

“okay.”

The two ran across the snowfield at full speed.

Until then, they had no idea what awaited them in the tomb.

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