Chapter Index

    In a hurry, Raoul was confined in a separate room attached to the court. It was a place where he could break free if he wanted to, but he accepted it because he knew his condition well.

    He just buried his face between his legs and didn’t say anything. I didn’t say anything and just stared into the darkness.

    “That fucking bitch dropped that bomb there…!”

    Camilla was furious, but the hot-tempered emperor seemed to have calmed down and began to look at the situation cool-headedly.

    Then he asked his subordinate a question with a more cool-headed face than ever.

    “… Where did that woman go?”

    “What kind of woman are you talking about, Your Majesty?”

    “A woman impersonating the victim.”

    “Everyone else was waiting in a separate room… but he ran away as soon as the trial was over. Since there were no special orders, stop…”

    “I will chase you. Empress, Camilla. Get ready for the chase as soon as possible.”

    Although it was always the Empress who prepared the plans, it was the Emperor who took command. As such, he made a decision faster than ever and ordered the chase.

    They went in pursuit, accompanied by the private army of the Duke of Argos and the imperial guard.

    Everyone felt uncomfortable with that woman, so I didn’t have any doubts.

    The Emperor and Empress rode in pursuit on horseback, and Camilla flew into the sky with a javelin.

    How long did it run? The chase team found a carriage that had already crossed the capital and entered a mountain road, and rushed towards it.

    “Stop!”

    As soon as she saw the carriage, the empress became convinced, drew her sword and slashed with Baldo, cutting off the wheels of the carriage.

    The broken carriage was completely destroyed, and the pink-haired woman jumped out of the smashed carriage, clicking her tongue.

    “Something worse than an insignificant monkey is quick on its feet on a stupid topic…”

    She revealed her true face with a huge gust of wind.

    Dressed like a highly exposed prostitute, four pairs of wings, goat horns sprouting from the head, black white eyes, and even a lethal force that cannot be seen by ordinary demons.

    Among the succubi, it seemed clear that he was in a very high position.

    “I didn’t plan on getting caught this quickly.”

    “I recommend surrender. If you surrender now, I promise I won’t kill you. It all depends on your attitude.”

    “He’s going to make you beg for death, but he’s acting like a fool. Of course, I have no intention of getting caught.”

    Even though the imperial soldiers were pointing their weapons at her, she did not panic at all.

    When she snapped her fingers, the six horses leading the carriage began to twist strangely.

    They soon turned into giant demonic beasts in the form of half-humans and half-horses and began to threaten them in reverse.

    “This is a chimera that we put a lot of effort into creating. It might be possible to buy some time.”

    Some soldiers who saw the ferocious appearance of the beast began to retreat.

    “Demon, demonic beast…? That big thing…?”

    Among them, the brave one threw a spear at the beast, but there was no room for the blade to penetrate their strong bodies.

    “As expected, the newly appointed ones are not in good shape.”

    Ironically, the one who took the lead was the emperor himself, who was supposed to be protected by them.

    “Please step aside. This is Hwang Myeong.”

    “Ha, your Majesty…! It’s dangerous…!”

    “Jim hates saying things twice. And danger… That’s a really annoying thing to say. Go away before you get so annoyed.”

    When the Empress winked, everyone, including the Empress, began to run away.

    “Today is truly a shitty day.”

    At that moment, smoke began to rise from the ground where the emperor was stepping.

    “I’ve seen so many shitty things.”

    He wanted Raoul to be honest, but he did not want him to let go of reason.

    Thanks to this, Raoul’s honor would have been ruined today. The emperor decided to free himself here from his desire to burn them all to death.

    The heat he began to emit did not reach the soldiers a few steps behind him, but it did reach the demon beasts and succubus around him.

    “Keee!!!”

    “Uuuu…! What on earth is this heat…!”

    “Jim is a bit of an angry person.”

    Every time the emperor took a step closer to them, the heat grew even hotter.

    Everyone stopped breathing due to the hot air that felt like it was going to melt their lungs, but there was nothing they could do to stop the heat burning their skin.

    “I improved my body like this under a damn drunkard. Well, that goes for all of us.”

    No matter how much I said, they were in no condition to answer. It was difficult for them to even maintain their senses due to the hot air that hit their lungs.

    ” Why not try something with that proud body? ”

    The emperor immediately took out a flaming sword and cut off the feet of the demon beasts.

    The blood evaporated before it even hit the ground, and the cross section turned into charcoal instead of just being cooked.

    “Try it.”

    The demon beast, unable to overcome the burning pain, raised its right hand and tried to stab its own heart.

    Although he was a chimera who did not know the concept of suicide, he felt pain to the point where he instinctively tried to take his own life.

    However, his right hand went out before it could reach his chest and was reduced to a lump of charcoal.

    “Not that one.”

    He heated them, cut them, and heated them again, as if he were cooking them.

    “I told you to try something?”

    He began repeatedly cutting and heating their bodies with a large sword and enjoying their silent screams.

    And as soon as the succubus saw that scene, she got scared and tried to leave.

    ‘Woah, you crazy…! There are all these idiots!’

    The succubus took advantage of the emperor’s tormenting of the other demon beasts and flew up with all its might.

    “Sigh… Sigh… I’m finally out of it now.”

    “Hoo. Have you escaped the dome of heat?”

    The emperor maintained a very calm attitude even as the succubus tried to escape.

    “You can run away… but I don’t particularly recommend it.”

    “Now goodbye, you idiot monkeys!”

    But before the succubus could move even a few centimeters, a blue thunderbolt fell on her.

    The thunderbolt burned off her two pairs of wings without a trace and at the same time severed both of her legs with a sharp spear.

    “Aaaagh!!!”

    “I don’t recommend that.”

    Camilla grabbed the succubus by the neck and began to strangle her.

    “Because of you now… Because of you, Raoul…”

    “Let’s get there, Camilla. No matter how angry I am, getting information comes first. If you torture them slowly, they will reveal their secrets even if they don’t want to. And above all…”

    The emperor said as he rubbed the succubus’ severed leg to stop the bleeding.

    “Isn’t it too merciful to strangle someone to death?”

    Then Camilla also stopped strangling in agreement.

    “Okay. Hey you. You better be prepared. We’re pretty confident about torturing, right? Taking off the cape, planting the red needle, rubber waist, ankle top… which do you want to try first?”

    Although they were called heroes, they were basically monsters bent on murder and torture.

    “Choose. I will torture you kindly.”

    “Please, just take my life…”

    “If your life is precious, why not blow it now? Then we might have a little mercy too.”

    Then the succubus tried to reveal confidential information as if everything was ruined.

    “Actually, we…!”

    But at that moment, an arrow flew from somewhere and pierced the succubus’ heart.

    The long arrow, like a pole, seemed to have been lodged in the succubus’ heart from the beginning.

    “Uh…?”

    Even the Empress, the Emperor, and Camilla could not catch the arrow. With their hearing like monsters, there was no way they could not catch the sound of an arrow flying.

    Nevertheless, the arrow flew with a tearing sound and lodged itself in the succubus’ heart.

    “You damn ghost…”

    The succubus let out a curse as if she had roughly guessed the culprit.

    “As expected… was he alive.”

    And the Empress, the Emperor, and Camilla also seemed to have guessed who the culprit was.

    The succubus fell down with an expression full of betrayal and began cursing everything.

    “I am an idiot for listening to those crazy people… They even came up with such an imperfect plan… Did they intend to do this from the beginning…!”

    The emperor looked at the dying succubus and made an unknown expression.

    “… abandoned.”

    “Could you please stop making a pitiful face when you get hit in the back of the head…? You guys got hit hard the same way…?”

    “What…?”

    And it was only at that moment that everyone noticed. That the boy the woman was holding disappeared. No, it wasn’t there in the first place.

    “What a piece of shit!”

    “Quickly turn your head!”

    Camilla’s brother was a very busy man.

    Since he had a natural talent for all kinds of tasks, including personnel, supply, finance, and national taxes, the responsibilities he took on were naturally heavy.

    He was one of the pillars of the empire who looked after the military affairs and took on numerous tasks on behalf of his father.

    He also played a key role in rebuilding the empire, which had almost collapsed due to the hedonistic emperor, together with the empress.

    Raoul and other heroes saved the empire from destruction, but he saved the empire from self-destruction.

    In addition, he was devoted to recovering the scars of the empire by releasing private property and working to restore damaged areas and public order.

    “… My head hurts.”

    Therefore, there was no time to rest even today when I came to watch the trial. While working alone in a separate room, he stopped writing as soon as he felt an unusual energy.

    Although he was not talented in martial arts, he was not so foolish that he could not sense energy.

    “… Oh my.”

    Although he was not as good as his teacher, he had the ability to see ahead and roughly guessed what was going to happen in the future.

    “Would you like to come in? Even though I cannot provide you with hospitality due to my position.”

    What appeared after opening the door was the boy held by the succubus.

    The boy, whose hands were covered in blood, was smiling brightly, just like any other boy his age.

    “Nice to meet you… should I say that? With you.”

    The boy’s appearance began to change little by little, as if a mirage was dissipating.

    Shiny black hair that reaches his waist, beautiful silk clothes that might be worn by wealthy people in the eastern continent, pointed ears, a face that looks like a young man resembling a wolf, and the appearance of three swords with a sinister aura on his waist.

    Everyone was pointing to the characteristics of ‘him’.

    He was called a vicious sword and was feared by everyone during the war.

    “Demon King Beled. He is a humble swordsman. It’s nice to meet you like this.”

    Then he drew his sword, pointed it at Camilla’s brother, and said,

    “And I’m sorry we parted ways like this.”

    “Did you plan this with the intention from the beginning?”

    “Okay. And it’s an outside line.”
