5.

Magical power rising from the ground begins to dominate the battlefield.

torrent.

A massive amount of magical power surges from the ground, beginning to numb the knights’ senses.

The 6th form of the Haerang Sword, Torrent, is completely different from the 6th form of the Imperial Sword, Moonlight.

If Moonlight steals the enemy’s senses with splendid moonlight, Torrent controls the enemy’s senses with absurdly strong magic power.

A power that is literally mind-boggling, coming from an endless amount of magical power.

The torrent used by Caron was already close to the realm of magic rather than swordsmanship.

Kkwaddeuk-!

“Kwaaaaah!”

One of the knights caught in the maelstrom had his armor crushed, and he ran towards Charon screaming.

Crunch.

Charon easily cut off the neck of the knight who was rushing at him in a fit of rage.

The guillotine began to greedily devour the magical power flowing out of the knights’ bodies.

And the magic power absorbed by the guillotine.

Wooooow-!

It is completely converted into Caron’s magic power.

“I told you, you are really a demon sword.”

The torrent consumes a tremendous amount of mana, especially if you’re pulling out multiple whirlpools like you are doing now.

However, the magical power used is refilled back into the body.

The magical power that the knights draw up while driving the core wild is converted into an excellent driving force for Charon.

Kwaaaaang-!

Natural talent.

Acquired effort.

There, Charon’s core, which had been endlessly expanded through the natural elixir called the World Tree’s Dew, was easily digesting all the magical power that Guillotine was giving him.

Haeranggeom is a sword technique that uses powerful magical powers.

As the sword of Haerang unfolded on top of the magical power that surged in every time the enemy’s neck was cut, a desperate situation began to unfold for the enemies.

The magical power of Charon that flows out due to the 5th high tide turns this place into a huge sea.

The sea was deadly rough.

Kwaaaaaaaang-!

A wave crashes down, tearing away flesh.

Kwaaaaaaaah-.

It’s scattered everywhere, even to the point of a whirlpool that crushes everything.

The master of the sea boldly stepped into his sea and cut off the heads of his enemies.

The dark blue sea was stained with blood, and every time an eerie light shone, someone’s head fell to the floor.

Even the elite soldiers who were watching the tragedy were terrified and retreated.

No one present could even think of opposing something like that.

There was no soldier anywhere who would sacrifice his life for Leandro, who had already become a traitor.

“… … How is that 6 stars?”

Leandro muttered to himself as he watched Charon approaching him.

None of the soldiers he boasted about dared to stop the man.

But strangely enough, I didn’t feel wronged anymore.

Because anyone would think that way when faced with ‘that’.

‘Why did I come here?’

Leandro thought as he raised his sword.

I couldn’t figure out where it went wrong.

However, one thing I know for sure.

That Charon would eventually cut off his own neck.

The ridiculous idea of ​​treason would have been nothing more than an excuse to cut off his own head.

That’s why he felt wronged.

Because no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand why that young man wanted to cut off his own neck.

Belonging to Duke Salmon’s faction?

That’s not enough of a reason to cut off the head of a Count. The Duke of Reston isn’t a family that would go that far.

“Why on earth!”

He once spat out the same words his subordinate spat out as he lay dying to Charon.

Charon had cut down all the knights who had been guarding him, and was finally within his reach.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

The vortices gather together, completely blocking his escape route.

He thought the scene looked like a slaughterhouse.

“Count Leandro.”

A monster that has set up a slaughterhouse on the sea approaches with a smile.

Leandro glared at Charon, his grip on his sword tight.

“You are being executed here for the treason of attacking Prince Rebellio. If you have any complaints, you can face them in Hell.”

An appearance where you can’t find even a speck of seriousness.

Even though he had single-handedly entered the midst of Yicheon’s army, he didn’t even seem nervous.

As I looked at that sight, only a hollow laugh escaped my mouth.

“ha ha ha.”

Die here.

He has only just accepted that fact.

There’s no way to escape. There’s no way anyone with those eyes would listen to a plea for help.

At this moment when everything is about to fall apart.

At this moment, one thing kept getting stuck in his throat. So Leandro asked Caron.

“Let me ask you one last thing.”

Then Charon nodded leisurely.

“I can only grant the wishes of someone who is about to die. Tell me.”

“Tell me why I have to die here in misery. It doesn’t matter if it’s a reason I can’t understand. Just tell me honestly.”

Is he trying to somehow justify his own end?

Caron answered the question with a smirk.

“I know because I died once, it’s better not to have any regrets.”

“… … It’s a joke until the end.”

“But since you want to know the reason, I’ll tell you.”

Caron slowly approached Leandro and spoke in a soft voice.

“I didn’t like your city. I was offended by the sight of slave traders.”

“… … Are you saying you’re going to kill me because of those little worms?”

At those words, Caron nodded while looking at Leandro.

“Just as you see them as scum, I see you as a scum. By your logic… … it doesn’t matter what happens to scum, right?”

Caron’s footsteps stopped.

And then, a huge roar began to be heard from beyond.

“Great battle! Utula will win the battle with his friends!”

With Utula, whose body had grown significantly in the meantime.

“Save Karon Reston!”

“Fight back!”

The troops that had burst out of the city were charging at full speed.

Caron turned his head and glanced at the sight, then smiled faintly and said.

“Those who rush in knowing they will die, and those who try to glorify their own deaths until the very end… … Which of those two is closer to being a swindler?”

Charon raised his sword high.

Leandro shouted as he saw that, his core going berserk.

“I won’t die easily-.”

It was truly a fleeting moment.

Leandro realized something flashed before his eyes.

‘ah.’

The figure of Charon, who had been standing in front of him just a moment ago, was no longer visible.

Instead, Charon’s voice was heard from behind.

“You should just die like a burrower.”

Leandro’s thoughts stopped there.

Darkness, a very deep darkness, engulfed his consciousness.

Bam.

Caron looked down at Leandro’s body, which had fallen with his neck missing, and let out a soft breath.

“It looks good.”

It was a miserable end, fitting for one who had filled his stomach at the expense of others’ misfortune.

Crunch.

Crunch.

The soldiers who had been watching the whole scene with their own eyes began to throw their weapons on the ground one by one.

The short battle ended like that.

With the miserable death of a traitor.

6.

On the walls of Leven.

Revelio, who had watched the battle between Charon and himself through the use of magnification magic, asked Mason.

“Sir Mason, Charon is a six-star knight.”

“Yes, that’s what I said.”

“… … But does it make sense that a 6-star knight would show such fighting prowess? He’s so different from the 6-star knights I know.”

A one-sided battle.

Despite being surrounded by two thousand elite soldiers, Charon eventually achieved his objective.

It was somewhat understandable that the elite soldiers did not move.

They are also soldiers of the empire after all.

It must have been because he knew that if he got involved in treason, even his family would be destroyed.

But even so, it wasn’t a normal decision to jump in against those overwhelming numbers.

Moreover, Charon cut down even the knights who were obviously prepared to die as if they were scarecrows.

Tremendous courage and overwhelming skill.

Caron has already proven with his whole body that he has surpassed the 6 stars.

Who the hell would think of Caron as a simple 6-star knight?

Mason shook his head firmly in response to Revelio’s question.

“It is true that the Karon Army is a six-star army.”

“… … That thing? That thing?”

“However, the Karon Army is a being that deviates from the standard of the 6 stars.”

Caron demonstrated fighting prowess comparable to that of a seven-star knight.

Magic power that can change the terrain of the battlefield, and the ability to use that magic power organically.

Even from a distance, I could feel it clearly.

There was nothing unnecessary in Caron’s connection.

He naturally connected all the processes and easily took over the enemy’s supply through them.

There seemed to be several variables at work in the process, but all of those variables were ultimately created by Charon.

“It’s an absurd amount of magical power for a six-star unit. Even though I learned the Reston Duke’s method of dispelling evil, it was far beyond common sense.”

Even from a distance, you could feel the magical power approaching that of the 7th star.

Mason continued, stroking his chin.

“All knights are blocked by the wall of 6 stars. Starting from 7 stars, it is a realm where one must transcend human limitations. However, it seems to me that… … the Karon Army has intentionally delayed reaching 7 stars.”

Those who have been practicing for a long time take time to adapt to real life.

Because it took a lot of experience to actually apply the enlightenment and accomplishments gained during training.

But there was no sign of that from Caron at all.

As if he had already gained a lot of experience, he naturally displayed his power.

In his view, Charon was already ready to ascend to the 7th star.

A talent that cannot be understood in human terms.

That is a monster. A monster with the talent to deceive others just by its very existence.

Revelio frowned slightly at Mason’s words.

“You’re saying you’re deliberately stopping when you can reach the 7th star? Does that make sense? The 7th star is the level where all knights would hang themselves. It defies common sense… … .”

“Scholarship is like a tower. It goes without saying that the foundation must be solid, but in order to build the next floor, the current floor must be completed perfectly.”

Normally, you would naturally complete the 6th level by spending a long time at the 6th level, and then you would have to open up new realms on top of that through enlightenment.

It’s a very natural process.

However, Mason judged that Charon had already achieved the enlightenment necessary to reach the Seven Stars.

Because there was no hesitation at the tip of Charon’s sword.

It was an appearance that was only possible if you had strong confidence in yourself.

“Kun Karon, you know this for yourself. You must perfect the six stars to reach higher levels.”

Mason could easily guess why.

“He is looking far up. He must go higher, waiting for his strength to mature.”

Mason thought back to the sea of ​​Charon he had just encountered.

A fierce and fearful sea, completely different from the calm sea of ​​the Halo Archduke.

A relentless storm raged across the sea of ​​Charon.

That’s why Mason gave Revelio heartfelt advice.

“Don’t get too close to the Charon Army.”

“why?”

“A sea like that would swallow everything around it. Just like… … it does now.”

At Mason’s words, Revelio simply looked at where Charon was standing without saying a word.

After looking at it for a long time, Revelio spoke in a low voice.

“You’re better than me.”

“What are you saying?”

“Everyone becomes unhappy when they’re around me. But when I look at it… … I don’t think that guy will become unhappy because of me.”

Revelio slowly got up from his seat. He then said, lightly shaking his hands.

“Let’s go, Lord Mason. I’ve got a lot of work to do now that I’ve taken that bastard out. After all, we’re accomplices, right? We have to make an effort to avoid getting into trouble.”

Revelio spoke in a low voice and walked slowly forward.

“Count Leandro has been executed!”

“Long live!”

“Erai, this dog is like this!

“Make Leven an honorable city again!”

“Long live the prince!”

“Long live the prince!”

Amid the cheers of the slaves and citizens, Revelio smiled faintly.

The cheap one died, I thought to myself.

‘Caron, if it’s that guy, he’ll definitely leave the cleanup to me.’

Because he’s a useless little brother who hates annoying things.

Even though there was a lot of work to do, I still didn’t feel all that bad.

In the end, wouldn’t all of this be his own achievement?

“… … Good.”

The curtain has come down on such a huge fraud.

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