5.

Charon quietly looked at Rael in front of him.

“It’s a fate that shouldn’t exist… … It makes the listener feel bad.”

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m saying that Cain Rathor was never meant to exist, not that you are.”

“Easy to understand.”

“You should have been born as Charon Reston from the beginning, not Cain Lathor. Reincarnation was never in my plans.”

Charon immediately understood the meaning contained in those words.

“Someone was playing with my soul?”

“That’s what it is.”

“Who is it?”

“Well? I don’t know about that. However, judging from the energy I feel from your body… … . It’s certain that the World Tree has directly corrected your fate. Why don’t you ask the World Tree?”

If you just bring ice from the North Sea, the World Tree will completely recover.

If Rael says this, it is certain that the World Tree had the greatest influence on the reincarnation process.

Caron shrugged, even though it was a story of someone toying with his own fate.

“It must be the devil’s doing.”

“Hatred. Malice. It is the most intense emotion you feel in your soul.”

“I won’t deny it.”

His previous life as Cain Lathor gave Charon great hatred and vengeance.

Rael smiled bitterly as he looked at the anger on his distant descendant’s face.

“Maybe someone wanted to corrupt your soul.”

He who fights with monsters should be careful not to become a monster himself.

As long as one gazes into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into him.

Caron did.

To Rael, this distant descendant was incredibly dangerous.

That terrible hostility, which could be detected just by looking at it, might possibly devour its master.

“My past life was meaningless… … Are you saying that?”

“No way.”

Rael’s answer was decisive.

“It was a fate that should not have existed, but you have finally experienced a past life. In fact, it doesn’t really matter who played the prank.”

Rael reached out and placed his hand on Charon’s head, smiling gently.

“Just as I did, you too will continue to grow stronger, fueled by that desire for revenge. You are so much like me. The fact that I can possess this body now is proof of that.”

Rael pointed to his empty right wrist with his left hand.

“That must be why the guillotine was by your side in the form of a magic sword.”

The more I listen to Rael, the more complicated my head becomes.

That’s why Caron decided to think as simply as possible.

The past that has already happened is not important. What matters is how we move forward based on that past.

“I have one more question for you, World Tree. Is there any more detailed information you can give me?”

“Would a person from 300 years ago have any information to pass on to his descendants from 300 years later?”

“Tsk. It doesn’t make any difference just because you’re my ancestor.”

“You mean it’s useless?”

“That is correct.”

It was Caron who did not spare verbal abuse even towards Shijo.

Rael smiled happily as he watched his descendants.

“Great. Aren’t the other descendants all as sane as you?”

“From that ancestor to that descendant. What do you expect?”

“You’re so smart.”

Lael laughed out loud. Then Guillotine spoke in a curt voice.

-My master is definitely smarter than you, Rael. So don’t confuse my master and get out quickly.

“Isn’t there any respect for the old masters, Guillotine?”

-You expect that from me? You’re talking too much when you died so irresponsibly.

Come to think of it, there is no record of how Lael Reston died.

Just as Charon was about to ask Rael a question, Rael raised his hand and stopped Charon from asking.

“My descendants will have to find out about my death themselves. Should we call it a kind of ordeal that the ancestors pass on to their descendants?”

“It’s really useless.”

“I got used to hearing verbal abuse over and over again.”

“Okay, just hurry up and give me the gift. I have to pack up the ice and return to Cheonghae Castle. That evil demon lord is causing trouble in the capital.”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Rael stood up and extended his hand to Charon.

“Can you hand me the guillotine for a moment?”

Charon obediently handed over the guillotine. Then Rael gently grabbed the guillotine’s handle.

Guillotine released his magic power as if he was in a bad mood.

Rael suppressed Guillotine’s protest as if he had expected it, and continued speaking with a smile.

“I’ve already encountered the Demon King of Slaughter, the Demon King of Sloth. I can sense their dark magic from Guillotine. And this is… … . Hmm, the power of the Doppelganger. It could be quite useful.”

Woooooooooo-!

Rael’s magic began to seep into the guillotine.

“Caron. As you know, the guillotine is a sword that can be called a magic sword without any awkwardness. That’s why I limited some of its functions. For example, there is the world of the mind.”

A dark blue light emanated from the guillotine’s blade.

“Originally, the ability to take away the power of the Demon Tribe was restricted, but Guillotine lifted it himself. Guillotine seems to care for you very much.”

This means that it was ultimately thanks to the guillotine that he was able to absorb the doppelganger’s abilities.

Guillotine grumbled at Rael’s words.

-I can’t just sit back and do nothing while the demon lords run wild. My master needs to get stronger as soon as possible.

Woohoo.

Rael spent a long time breathing magic into the guillotine’s blade.

When the tedious task was finally over, Rael handed the sword back to Charon.

“Okay, here.”

Caron quietly accepted the guillotine.

There wasn’t much change in appearance.

“The guillotine’s restrictions have been completely lifted. Now the guillotine can use its full power.”

“So does that mean the guillotine’s performance hasn’t been perfect up until now?”

“I didn’t want my successor to rely solely on the guillotine. But seeing you, I feel like I don’t have to worry about that.”

Is it because I’ve pushed my magic power to the limit?

Rael’s form was a little blurry.

“Looking at your magical power, it seems like you’ve obtained the arrangements I’ve prepared for you in the Plains of Rest. Have you become friendly with the water people?”

“yes.”

“Take good care of them. They are good kids. They will have a lot to learn from them.”

“We decided to be friends anyway.”

“Eat moderately.”

“How do you know so well?”

“Because I did it.”

“Aha. Since we’re at this point, please tell me where you’ve hidden the other arrangements.”

“… … Are you really that confident?”

“You’re using my corpse right now, right? You have to pay for using my corpse.”

At those words, Rael shook his head as if he was tired of it. Then he sighed and said.

“Below the Plains of Rest. The Yukar Basin.”

“Use it.”

“why?”

“There is something like that.”

The Yukar Basin refers to a region of the Holy Kingdom.

the problem is.

“Why there of all places?”

The Holy City, the capital of the Holy Kingdom and the so-called Holy Land, is located in the Yukar Basin.

It seemed like things were going to get complicated one way or another.

‘Let’s first deal with what’s happening in the capital.’

The priority right now is to stop the Emperor’s plot. Since I was planning to go to the Holy Kingdom to find Beatrice anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to stop by while I’m at it.

Charon shook the guillotine lightly.

“But is this all, Your Majesty?”

Then Rael burst into laughter as if he couldn’t believe it.

“I’ve done everything I can for you. Isn’t this a symbol of you trying to eat me alive?”

“I didn’t receive anything in particular other than the guillotine.”

It was an incredibly shameless attitude.

Rael laughed out loud again at his descendant’s attitude, which was no different from that of a day robber.

“Now that you’ve reached 8 stars, you should make your own unique weapon. I left my gift in Guillotine’s world of imagination. Check it out later when you have time.”

Unknown words.

But before Charon could ask any more questions.

Woohoo.

The soft light flowing from Rael’s body began to disappear.

“The meeting between ancestors and descendants ends here.”

Lael looked at Charon with warm eyes.

“Caron Reston. I hope you have a different ending than me. No, you will definitely have a different ending.”

It was a look full of trust.

In the midst of the dispersing magic, Rael slowly asked Charon.

“If I leave this body, what are you going to do with it?”

It was said about the corpse of Cain Rathor.

Caron answered without hesitation.

“I plan to burn it.”

“Even though it symbolizes your past life?”

“It is I who symbolizes my past life, not some lifeless corpse.”

Were you satisfied with that answer?

Lael reached out and placed a hand on Charon’s shoulder.

“Good answer. Don’t keep dwelling on the past and move forward.”

That concludes it all.

dump.

Lael’s power left Cain Lathor’s body.

Charon looked down silently at the corpse of Cain Rathor lying on the floor.

Has Halo been preserved?

It seemed like nothing had changed much other than her skin being pale.

-Are you really going to burn it?

“It’s just a corpse.”

I wonder what Halo would say if he found out about this later.

But this is only Charon, his own corpse.

“Who would say anything if I were to burn my own body?”

Charon placed his hand on Cain Rathor’s chest and breathed in a lot of magical power.

Whoosh whoosh-!

The flames created by the clash of magical powers instantly engulfed Cain Rathor’s entire body.

“Let’s go out.”

He turned around without hesitation.

There was nothing more to see here.

6.

Same time.

Cheonghae Castle.

There was tension in the spacious conference room of Cheonghae Castle.

“Your Majesty, the Imperial Magic Towers, including the Magic Tower Lord, have expressed their intention to cooperate in this matter.”

The commander of the Knights of the Sea, Jeras, reported the current situation to Halo.

“There have been ominous rumors circulating in the capital recently. Some newspapers are reporting that the Duke of Reston is once again plotting a rebellion.”

“What a vicious method.”

“Yes. The moment we enter the capital with a large force, there is a high possibility that the Imperial Family will designate the Duke of Reston as a rebel force.”

“Has there been no contact from the royal family?”

Everyone in the conference room was wearing armor.

Even Pale, who had not learned the sword, was wearing light leather armor.

In other words, it was a situation close to an exhibition.

“No response.”

“And the Knights of Haerang who are dispatched to the imperial court?”

“Yes. It seems that we have received information that Lord Luke has visited Cheonghae Castle.”

Ominous signs were being detected everywhere.

The fact that contact had also been lost with the knights of the Knights of the Order of Haerang, who had been dispatched by the Duke of Reston to investigate the lottery faction, meant that the imperial family had already made up their mind to do something.

It is unclear who is behind this.

but.

“There is no doubt that Crown Prince Iorn is involved in this matter.”

All that’s certain is that someone made a wrong choice.

Halo sat on the chair and looked at the elder stealthily.

“What do you think, Elder?”

Then Elder Yung answered with a cold expression.

“That means there are still people who are pro-revolutionary in the central political circles. How could they have properly investigated those who are in important positions? We must immediately raise troops and enter the capital. If the crown prince ascends the throne, the situation will rapidly worsen.”

It was a correct answer.

Halo nodded slowly. Then he turned his head slightly and looked at his youngest son, Pale.

“Pale, I’d like to hear your thoughts too.”

“… … I agree with the elder’s opinion. However, if we raise our troops now, not only the Duke of Reston, but also the nobles who are currently with us will be driven to rebel. In other words, a civil war will break out.”

Clever chatter.

If we fail to stop it, the capital of the empire will fall to the lottery faction, and if we try to stop it, civil war will break out.

“The favor we extended to them has returned like this.”

Halo looked around the conference room and said.

“This is the result of a choice we made 50 years ago.”

The moment the Duke of Reston turned himself into a sword aimed at the Empire, perhaps this outcome was destined to happen.

Many people grew in power to keep the Duke of Reston in check, and this in turn became the power of the Empire.

The lottery faction quietly took advantage of this gap and grew its power.

“Pale. I’ll ask about the plan.”

Halo asked Pale the question again, and Pale nodded slowly.

“If you raise a large force, you will obviously have problems.”

“Speak.”

Pale took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

“Prince Rebellio is currently in Qinghai Province, so we are sending a small group of people to escort him to the capital.”

“Is there anyone you have in mind?”

Then Pale said with a bitter expression.

“Let loose the mad dog on the capital.”

Everyone present understood the meaning behind Pale’s words.

Halo drummed his fingers on the desk for a long time. Then he spoke with a slight frown.

“Are you okay?”

Pale nodded with a bitter smile.

“It’s not us who should be worried. It’s them.”

Cheong Hae-seong made a decision.

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