One shot wasn’t the end.

bang! bang! bang!

Lightning struck the emperor continuously.

“Kaaak!”

Even though he continued to receive magic of enormous power, he did not kneel.

Marian smiled and immediately increased her magic power.

Gravity.

I was inadvertently impressed by the way the magically strengthened marble withstood gravity so strong that it caved in.

“Is this worth the price?”

For the first time, Marian released her magical power without restrictions.

Gravity.

Restriction.

Her hair and clothes were flying around.

“Ugh!”

Huge knee slam! It fell to the ground with a sound. A chain of light restrains the giant who supports his body with his two arms.

‘The outline of the face still remains.’

Esteban Chiron. A man who got wet several times and was annoying.

“I! He is the emperor of this empire, how dare you be a bug!”

A loud voice rang out. Words that the original person would never say.

His hand swung towards Marian. It was an incredible speed that did not match its size.

“Oh, it’s noisy.”

Marian waved her left hand lightly as if shooing away a fly.

A pure white chain ejected from the air pierced his hands and feet.

“Ugh!”

The more he struggled, the tighter the chains pinned him to the ground.

“Nonsense, no way-!”

It is a power gained by coveting the lives of many people. There’s no way that power could be broken this easily!

But the reality was that just a gesture from that girl made my knees buckle.

Can’t you just say things like “? Has your intelligence declined?”

Marian narrowed her eyes.

The wound is already healing.

The Emperor stands up again. His complexion was pale. Raw flesh sprouts and becomes entangled with the chains.

“Ugh!”

No matter how much magic power was put into it, no matter how hard it struggled, the chain would not break.

‘Dangerous. This bitch. Definitely Marian Arjane, daughter of the Duke of Arjane.’

The emperor obtained Esteban’s body and regained his strength from his prime. However, perhaps because of the chains on his hands and feet, he could not use his magic power.

‘shit. ‘What should I do?’

As the pain overtook me, my senses returned. But there was nothing that could be done.

A secret art that allows one’s soul to be possessed by a blood relative. As long as you have enough magic power, you can live forever. However, there is one condition attached to this. The soul must be fine.

‘All it takes is once.’

He was inherently a criminal, even in a good way. His command as a prince and his cruel disposition were enough to make up for his lack of talent. He became emperor and reached this point due to his endless greed.

If only I could crush that bitch.

Geniuses have always been like that.

Conceited and arrogant. Isn’t that woman watching, even though she could end herself at any time?

Just looking at Cecilia was like that.

Even though she was his daughter, there was no resemblance to her. okay.

In the past, the older brother he killed was exactly like that.

My brother had everything. The crown prince’s title and handsome appearance. A talent that was praised as a genius.

Everyone agreed that my older brother would succeed to the throne.

There can be no surprises.

The empire will be peaceful.

like that.

But in the end, it was he who became emperor.

He recalled the past.

The way he drank the tea he gave him without question, opened his eyes wide, and vomited blood.

Humans die so easily.

That’s why I thought I would do the same with Cecilia.

‘It only takes once. only once.’

If you catch it and crush it, that’s it.

He lives forever. Then you can become a real god someday.

*

“Do I look like I’m wearing hot pants?”

The way I keep wiggling my hands makes me want to grab hold of myself and crush me. I feel that kind of will.

“Wow!”

The giant’s face fell to the floor as he let out a sigh of relief.

Isn’t that possible? I had a guess, but seeing it in person made me certain.

‘It’s not Esteban.’

Esteban’s eyes, which were always looking longingly as if he was longing for something, sparkled with madness.

When his blue eyes looked at me, there was something I couldn’t help but know.

Money, power, fame. Why did he have everything?

‘okay.’

Did he have the same eyes as his previous life, when he was always hungry for affection?

Such pure curiosity.

The way he looks at me is me, no.

I could see the look in Han Se-rin’s eyes that begged for affection in my past life, so apart from the feelings of dislike, I also had complicated feelings when I saw him.

Some people will. A victim taken advantage of by a mad emperor.

If this were a novel, the male lead would overcome it and become emperor.

It’s a pretty plausible story, though.

‘It’s a skit.’

I shook my head to shake off the thoughts.

‘I have no sympathy.’

Because unlike him, he had a choice.

‘okay.’

Regardless of the circumstances, he chose the path of the perpetrator.

But, apart from that.

“Esteban. Can you hear my voice?”

What I’m saying now is,

‘okay.’

When I see someone who is frustrated, I want to give them advice. just. What I want to say.

“How many opportunities have you had?”

Therefore, it does not matter whether he is the emperor or Esteban himself.

“Not everything is your fault. But more than half of it is your fault.”

“Marian.”

Cecilia quietly came up behind me and hugged me from behind.

*

“You, you!!”

The emperor’s eyes widened as if torn.

“It’s been a while, brother. No, should I call you father?”

She said harshly.

“It’s ugly.”

Seria clicked her tongue. The emperor’s arms were covered in ugly scales. It was the result of continuous regeneration.

The emperor was thrilled to see two of his children, who he thought were dead, appear.

“Oh! Cecilia. Seria! Come on!”

“…Are you sane?”

Cecilia frowned.

“Maybe as the body grows, the brain stays the same? It happens because the ratio of the body and brain is not right. I read it in a book. Some people say that their brains are small compared to their heads, so wouldn’t it be true to say that their brains are the size of a bean if they are in that state right now?”

The emperor’s face turned red at the sight of Seria shaking her head.

“I thought there was something going on earlier.”

The emperor’s complexion turned pale at Marian’s words.

Well, whatever it is, it’s none of my business.

“Let’s end this now.”

A pure white flame bloomed in her hand.

‘Hell Fire…!? no! That’s okay. But that! ‘Something different and dangerous!’

The emperor turned around urgently. Grumble. Chains driven like stakes expand. The ground shakes randomly.

“Ah. Do you recognize this?”

Marian grinned. He moved his left hand around and played with flames as if he were playing with them.

“Ugh! Damn it!!”

“I learned it in a dream. They say it’s a magic that burns even the soul.”

A relaxed voice as if mocking his struggles.

“Aaaah!”

yet. The giant stood up with difficulty and rushed at her, completely naked.

Cecilia and Ceria blocked their path, but a white shadow moved faster than them.

When Mea swung her front paw, the giant’s arm was chopped off.

The huge body collapses.

It almost looks like the soul is missing.

The emperor, who had abandoned his body, targeted the bodies of his two daughters.

‘Ugh! ‘What is this!’

The moment he left his body, he felt something strange.

I felt pain as if my whole body was burning in hellfire, as if I had been thrown bare-body into a hot desert.

His soul was no longer in a state where it could be transferred to another person’s body.

As Marian expected, it will self-destruct even if left alone.

By leaving the body by one’s own will, the extinction of the soul was accelerated.

‘Ugh! ‘I have to go back!’

He tried to go back, but even that wasn’t possible. The white flame that left Marian’s hand only burned his soul.

“Wow! Oh my, this is impossible!”

I screamed in pain far beyond death, but no one heard me.

The emperor of the empire and the man who had lived for several generations ended in vain.

*

‘Is that a soul?’

It was darker and more distorted than expected, so I felt uncomfortable just looking at it, but it soon disappeared.

“He’s a parasite rather than an emperor.”

Marian, with a cold sneer, turned her head.

Because I heard a worried voice.

“Marian, are you okay?”

“No one got hurt, right?”

Marian blinked her eyes.

Hey guys, haven’t you seen everything I just did?

“B. Wasn’t it pretty cool?”

Marian puffed out her cheeks.

“Myaa~!”

He presses Mea’s head with his hand as he strokes her.

“ㅡWow, it was cool!”

“Ma, yes, it was really cool!”

The voice returned a beat later.

‘How suspicious.’

Marian narrowed her eyes. She soon turned her head and took one step at a time.

At that time, the citizens gathered in front of the castle gate were looking at the screen with their hands sweaty.

“Ah, the devil!”

“His Majesty the Emperor was the devil?!”

As time passed, even those who questioned them after learning that they had lured them and occupied the capital.

“Gasp! Oh my!”

The monster’s claws even tore the knights’ armor like paper.

Some of the monsters even looked familiar to them.

“Isn’t that guy Allen?”

Some people who had gone missing in the capital or had suddenly gone on vacation had turned into monsters and were attacking the knights.

Even terrified citizens could not take their eyes off the screen. This era has little entertainment.

For them who did not have movie-like entertainment, it was like their first movie.

“No way. To save us.”

“Well, what could people like us do in the capital?”

Public sentiment quickly changed.
