Episode 49 15. There’s a lot to eat at the famous feast (3)
5.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeng-!
The alarm magic shook the banquet hall with a loud noise.
The illusionary magic that Revelio had used through the artifact was instantly dispelled, and soon the Imperial Guards waiting outside the banquet hall rushed in.
“Your safety is our top priority!”
“Move quickly!”
Paaaaaaaaaaah-!
It wasn’t just the knights.
The moment the alarm magic sounded, light burst out from all over the banquet hall in an instant.
A type of temporary movement magic.
Wizards wearing robes bearing the symbol of the Imperial Tower began to appear from among the lights that appeared in the air.
Troops are reinforced in an instant.
However, the force was forced to be stopped by a wall of black magic.
The black magic flowing out of the woman’s, or rather, Mongma’s, body was completely isolating the inside of the banquet hall from the outside.
The head that Charon had just cut off regenerated its body in the blink of an eye.
The scene where a body grows from a head was bizarre in itself.
“… … The playback isn’t perfect, is it?”
Mongma smiled as he looked at his own hand, whose fingers had not fully regenerated.
“That sword. That sword ate away my dark magic. What kind of sword is it? Did the Duke of Reston have such a sword?”
At Mongma’s question, Caron raised the corners of his mouth while adjusting his grip on the guillotine.
“What a shame. If only I were a little stronger, I would have killed you just now.”
“Haha, if only I had my way, I could catch and eat it here.”
“Eat it or leave it alone.”
“Shall we try?”
Long black fingernails grew from Mongma’s hands.
Fingernails that sparkle with black magic.
Booooooooooo-.
The claws mercilessly rushed towards Charon’s neck. However, Charon quickly retreated, spraying the magic of clarity with the soles of his feet.
Slurp.
It was a close call.
A sharp pain surged from the area near my neck where my fingernails were slightly stuck. At the same time, black magic tried to penetrate my body, but the magic of the clear mind quickly suppressed the black magic.
-Master. You are still a tough opponent for your skill level.
Guillotine’s serious voice echoed in my head.
But Charon paid no attention and spat on the floor.
The saliva was half mixed with blood.
– Even though I was able to quickly put the black magic to sleep with the magic of clarity, I couldn’t completely relieve the shock. Compared to that, your sea is too shallow.
‘I know.’
There is no way I don’t know.
The thing standing before my eyes is a monster that is incomparably more terrifying than my current self.
nightmare.
Members of the Demon Clan who playfully trampled on his life.
Most dream demons are just low-level demons, but the woman in front of me was not low-level at all.
It was clear that it was of the highest rank among the dream demons. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain that black magic.
Just facing it makes fear rise up in a corner of my heart.
But Charon layered hostility on top of that fear.
That’s the enemy.
Woof woof woof-!
The clear magical power flowing out of Charon’s body began to resonate violently.
Mongma, who was watching the scene, said with a gloomy expression.
“What a hatred. It’s really thrilling. How can a young child harbor such hatred? After all, is there something different about the blood of the Duke of Reston?”
Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …
A loud noise echoed from the wall she had created.
It looks like external forces are struggling to get in.
In fact, there were already significant cracks in the wall.
When Mongma saw that, he spread his arms wide and said.
“My name is Shunia. Karon Reston. I want you to remember my name. The King has told me not to move recklessly… … . I can’t stand it any longer!”
Mongma waved his arms, still smiling.
Then, black flowers began to bloom in the air, and in an instant, they filled the ceiling of the banquet hall.
“I have no intention of killing you today anyway. It’s not my job to kill you. Instead… …I’ll make sure you remember me forever.”
Thousands of flowers are in full bloom.
The fragrant scent of flowers spread throughout the banquet hall.
But then.
WHWWWWWWWWW-!
A wind blew from somewhere and began to carry away the scent of the flowers.
“Caron. Don’t worry about this and just do what you were doing!”
Revelio’s voice.
At that voice, Mongma squinted his eyes slightly.
“My flowers are not just for ornamental purposes.”
That moment.
Pavababababak-.
Petals fell from the flower and rained down towards Charon.
“Karoooooooon!”
Leo’s shout echoed from behind.
Charon chuckled as he looked at the flower petals falling towards him.
Woof woof woof.
The resonating magic of the clear sky spreads out in all directions.
The sea that flows from Charon’s body expands.
‘Haeranggeom type 5, high tide.’
The sea is rising.
The sea, which perfectly occupies the surrounding space, swallows up the flower petals falling from the sky.
Another ocean is added to Charon’s heart.
Five oceans.
The overloaded magical power forcibly opens the magical power channels within the body.
-You crazy master. How are you going to handle the aftermath?
‘That’s something to think about later.’
It’s an unnatural opening.
So there will be a huge aftershock.
But Caron didn’t care.
It’s okay if it hurts. If I can stab that sleepwalker with my sword, I can enjoy the pain while laughing.
Again.
Charon ran through the sea, which had suddenly risen high.
Push.
Some of the petals that had come through the sea cut into Charon’s skin. However, the petals could not stop Charon’s charge.
A fierce charge.
A blue flash of light burst out from a small body filled with the magic of Cheongmyeong.
Mongma licked his lips with his tongue as he watched Charon running towards him.
“It’s ecstatic.”
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
A loud noise erupts as black claws and swords clash.
Mongma’s long claws slid across Charon’s body.
Push.
The shirt that Caron was wearing was soaked with red blood. Blood also flowed from Caron’s mouth.
The guillotine was soaked in its master’s blood.
A blood-red glow began to spread across the dark blue sword.
Phew.
Black nails dug into Caron’s shoulder. But Caron smiled even more deeply and poured magic and strength into his shoulder muscles.
The nail was stuck in the shoulder muscle and wouldn’t come out. Mongma naturally raised his other hand and stabbed it into Caron’s neck.
Phew, phew, phew!
But Charon blocked even that attack by twisting his shoulder.
In an instant, Mongma’s two hands were stuck into Caron’s shoulders. Screams erupted from all over at the sight, but Caron just smiled and said.
“It’s my turn.”
Then Mongma answered with a smile.
“It’s really, really fun-.”
Her words were not continued until the end.
Phew! Phew!
Charon’s fist slammed into her stomach.
And at that moment, Charon released the strength from his shoulders.
Mongma’s body floated into the air.
The defense was instantly neutralized. Caron didn’t miss the gap.
Booooooooo.
A decisive sword strike.
A straight sword strike without a single inch of misalignment, the guillotine dyed in blood cleanly cut the demon’s body in two vertically.
“Kyahahahaha!”
Black petals bloomed anew from her split body.
“That sword! Now I understand. Guillotine! It’s the guillotine! Finally, the master of the guillotine has appeared!”
Magical power began to flow through Charon’s body through the hand holding the guillotine.
– Predatory Sword. Another nickname for me, Master. I can devour black magic and turn it into your power. If you absorb the blood of the demons, I can give you more magic power… … Unfortunately, that thing in front of you is not the main body.
‘I knew it.’
The assumption that there would be collaborators in the palace had already been considered.
However, even if there were collaborators, the palace was not a place where the demons could run wild.
That’s just a small fragment of a clone.
That’s why it would have been possible to somehow break through the palace’s defenses.
Of course, even this clone body was burdensome now.
“Just wait.”
One day I will go after those guys myself and slaughter them all.
So, I must definitely collect the price of the lives of my subordinates who died in vain.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
The wall created by black magic collapsed, and finally the palace troops began to pour into the banquet hall like a tidal wave.
“If I had intended to kill you, I would have done so long ago. I want you to grow up to be more delicious. Can you become strong enough that I can’t kill you even if I try my best?”
Mongma could no longer play.
“It’s said that eating someone like that is the most delicious.”
I just looked at Charon, split in half.
“I will be waiting for you across the North Sea.”
A voice leaked out from the split mouth.
“The King is waiting for you. We will welcome you anytime.”
Charon slowly approached the head.
And he lifted his feet high in front of his head and said:
“Don’t rush me.”
Kwajijijijik-.
Charon’s foot trampled Mongma’s head mercilessly.
“I will definitely come and kill you all even if you don’t rush me.”
Charon smiled as he watched the traces of the dream dissipate into flower petals.
Finally found it.
A reason to become stronger.
and.
‘certainly.’
The reason for this life.
6.
Leo stood there blankly, looking around.
“Prepare for further raids, prepare for further raids!”
“Bring the priest here now!”
“The magicians of the Magic Tower will immediately create a barrier here-.”
“The level of protection for His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince has been raised! Summon all troops!”
The magnificent chandelier had already collapsed, and there were injured people everywhere, crying out in pain.
The troops that entered the banquet hall quickly moved and began to collect the wounded.
But there was one place that even they could not access.
“ah.”
The center of the banquet hall.
Leo’s gaze soon became fixed on one place.
There was a boy standing there.
There was no sign of a holy place on the boy’s body.
Blood was flowing out of the flower petals embedded all over his body. And that blood was dripping onto the floor the boy was walking on.
“… …Caron!”
Leo quickly ran towards him, but soon he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
There was a very strong murderous aura emanating from my younger brother.
I felt like if I approached him now, my head would be cut off by a guillotine.
Endless hostility.
My brother, the murderous intent and hostility that he exuded from a mere thirteen-year-old boy was far too frightening.
This was the first time I had seen Caron like that. I had never seen him like that before.
But Leo bit his lip and took a step forward.
I was scared.
But for that reason alone, I thought I shouldn’t leave my little brother like that.
Made the guy fight alone.
I left the guy who I grew up with, who was like a real younger brother, to end up like that.
A terrible sense of guilt rose up in his mind. But he could not remain still, buried in that guilt.
Because Charon looked so precarious that it seemed like it would collapse if you touched it lightly with your hand.
One step, two steps.
Leo approached Caron cautiously.
“Caron.”
My voice is trembling. But I still muster up the strength to call my brother’s name.
There was no change in Charon. Charon was just staring at the black petals scattered on the ground.
“Karouooon!”
I shouted my brother’s name loudly once again.
Only then did Caron turn his gaze towards Leo. At that moment, the murderous intent that had been so intense just a moment ago suddenly subsided.
Caron said with a slight frown.
“I’m not deaf. Speak softly.”
“You’re hurt… … you little punk!”
“It’s okay. It’s just a scratch. A tetanus shot will do the trick.”
Looking at Charon up close, his condition was even worse.
Caron’s shirt was already soaked in blood, so much so that it could no longer be called a shirt.
My throat gets choked up when I look at that sight.
While Caron was fighting like this, what on earth was he doing?
I couldn’t even take a single step.
I couldn’t protect my younger brother’s back because I was afraid of the fear brought by the black magic and the murderous aura that Charon exuded.
The feeling of guilt soon turned into a feeling of self-loathing. However, Leo tried hard to suppress the feeling of self-loathing and said.
“How can that be a scratch! You need to get treatment right now!”
“No, really, are you okay?”
“Get treatment!”
“… … There’s no need to get angry… … . I’m sorry. You can just get treatment.”
The usual playful voice.
Leo responded to Caron’s words with a weak smile.
“… … Why did you… … . I’m sorry… … . You son of a bitch!”
“Oh, why are you crying again?”
Tears flow from Leo’s eyes.
Caron looked at Leo’s face and snickered.
“When I saw your crying face, I suddenly had a thought. You look much better without makeup. How about emphasizing your pitiful appearance? At least that way you’ll get sympathy… .”
dump.
Caron’s body, which had been joking, collapsed limply.
And at that moment.
“Karoooooooooooon!”
Leo screamed and ran towards Charon.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
