The king of the ghosts sighed as he caught a big fish instead of missing his target.

“… You want to love a terrible mother and a mean woman? There is no one as cruel as you, Raoul… Bergé.”

The King of Ghosts spat out the name Berger as if it were something dirty.

“You don’t think about the pain of the one who loves you, and only pursue your own love. You turn your eyes to the one who whips you rather than the one who loves you.”

The king of the ghosts pulled out his protest, his voice cracking.

“How foolish. No different from me.”

In his view, Raoul was a foolish person. He should have loved only those who loved him. He loved even those who hurt him, and ended up dying a tragic death.

If Raoul had gone into hiding with his friends, would the remnants of the Empire be able to stop the power of the Demon King?

If the King of the Phantoms were to appear, he could sweep away the empire. The Minister of War would be the first to flee if that happens.

A foolish man who loves the foolish people who do not love the flower that bloomed from that garbage heap.

That was Raoul as seen by the King of Ghosts.

“Farewell. Hojeoksuyo, the best warrior and the worst fool.”

Camilla just stared blankly at the scenery unfolding before her eyes.

“Raoul…?”

She barely managed to stretch out her trembling hand and check Raoul’s pulse.

The pulse was so weak. It felt like a dying flame. No matter what I did, there was no way to save it.

There was still a faint warmth left in his body, but it was clear that this too would cool down soon.

All that remained now were merely remnants of things that would soon disappear.

“Don’t joke around…! There’s no way you could die like this…! With what intentions did I hold back! With what intentions did I hold back my confession! If this happens…! If this happens, I…!!!”

Camilla shook Raoul almost to the point of screaming, but of course there was no answer from him.

Ratri also seemed to have been quite shocked and just sat down.

Rosie began to back away, unable to accept the sudden change in circumstances.

“I, I just… no… I just thought he was suddenly saying something weird…”

“Shut up.”

Camilla’s murderous aura enveloped the surrounding area. The surrounding plants withered, Rosie fell over in fear, and even the king of the ghosts flinched with the murderous aura.

“You two… Don’t do anything from now on. I’m holding on desperately right now.”

“… Don’t move. I feel like I’m going to cut those hands and feet off. ”

“… Don’t say anything. Before I rip your mouth and throat apart. ”

“……. Don’t shed any tears of hypocrisy. Before I gouge out your eyes.”

Camilla wiped the blood from her eyes and held the blue-glowing spear in her hands.

Then he got up from his seat and began to stretch.

“…… Now that I think about it, it doesn’t end here. I think someone said that there is something like love in heaven. Well, I don’t remember that far back. I guess that’ll do. ”

And leaving Raoul behind, who was growing colder, he started walking in the direction the arrow had come from.

“You would have definitely done this. Instead of being sad, you would have gone out to fight for the people. I will do the same.”

Camilla’s eyes, as she spoke, were smiling like crescent moons, but those crescent moons were shedding sad tears.

Camilla’s mouth was smiling, but her lips were trembling.

“Wait. I’ll come back before your body cools down and die with you. Okay. I’ll come back before you cool down.”

Countless memories and times flashed through Camilla’s mind.

In fact, it felt like the precious memories that had made me who I am today were about to be shattered.

That’s why I wanted to die with Raoul before those memories were completely shattered.

“In the end, I couldn’t protect it again…and lost it.”

Camilla decided to set out on a path to kill and die. After killing the King of the Ghosts, she too would return to Raoul’s side and commit suicide.

But there must have been some idiots blocking that path.

“Camilla Argos! The grudge that killed our king! I have not forgotten and have come back!”

“Hey, isn’t it a waste to kill him? After subduing him, why not play with him…”

“First of all, you won’t need arms and legs.”

From orcs and trolls to ogres riding wyverns, it didn’t seem like they were just bringing a bunch of idiots to use as meat shields.

Camilla laughed at them as if she found the situation ridiculous.

“Ha…”

She brought her right hand to her mouth as if to hide the laughter that was breaking out.

And Camilla spoke with a colder anger than ever before.

“Just die.”

Camilla pretended to cover her mouth and inhaled the strengthening agent, then stabbed a spear wrapped in electricity into the ground, burning the surrounding demon soldiers to a pitch black color.

“…… You too. That damned archer too. And me too. Let’s all die today.”

To Camilla, Raoul was that kind of person. A reason to live, a reason to die, a reason to fight, a reason not to fight, a reason to laugh and a reason to cry.

Beyond that, the reason for everything was Raul.

Now that we have lost all those reasons, we are reduced to beasts living on just one primal emotion.

I had lost my ability to see ahead, but I had no way to appease my anger. Then the answer was extremely simple. I had no choice but to run like crazy and destroy everything that got in my way.

It was like a wild boar with sharp teeth running wild, trying to destroy everything it touches to reach its destination.

Even if all the nobles of the empire died as a result, it would be worthless compared to Raoul’s death.

The sight of them running wild with the spear filled with blue electricity as their fangs was like that of a blind wild boar, just as the Minister of War had assessed.

“Come out! King of the Ghosts! You are to fight me, who lost not only my friend but also the man I love! I will risk everything I have to kill you, so come out now!!!”

Camilla screamed, almost screaming, as she emitted a blast of blue electricity.

The king of ghosts, who was watching the scene from afar, expressed his displeasure.

“It was good that you shot it, but you ended up waking up a wild beast.”

He was originally someone who would wait far from the battlefield to take advantage of any openings.

For him, Camilla’s rampage, who was skilled in close combat and aerial combat, was not a good sign at all. If she were to pinpoint his position, he would certainly be forced into a disadvantageous fight.

But that didn’t mean the King of Ghosts was confident he could deal with Camilla.

Considering the power and advantages of his ‘peculiar body’, it may be possible for him to defeat Camilla in close combat.

“… I intend to kill you before that happens.”

The Emperor of the Ghosts stretched his sword to its limit and fired an ivory arrow at Camilla.

The ivory arrow flew faster than even the sound and tried to reach Camilla’s life.

But at that moment, the blue current that was wrapped around Camilla’s body burned the ivory arrow first.

“You’re crazy. You’re really crazy. You’re getting hit by my arrows, but you’re using enough power to burn me before my arrows even touch your body. Either way, it’s a sure death.”

But Camilla continued to exert her power without caring for her own life.

As if he was trying to burn everything.

“You’re foolish, too. No, you became a hero because you were foolish. Wise people don’t become heroes. ”

The King of the Ghosts continued to pull his bow and shoot vicious arrows.

Half of the arrows were aimed at Camilla, and the other half were aimed at the upper bodies of the corrupt nobles.

It was because the equal death he was handing down could not be concentrated on Camilla alone.

And there was a reason to keep increasing the sacrifices like that, to call out someone who was obviously hiding.

But the target never showed up. The person who must have planned this game has yet to be seen. Raul’s death must have been unexpected for that being.

I thought he would show up, clearly unable to overcome the despair and anger caused by his own mistake, but it seemed that his patience was greater than I had imagined.

“Good people who were not born in my time.”

The King of Ghosts truly respected and acknowledged Raoul and his friends.

They were truly the greatest warriors and role models for others.

Although the emperor had a fiery temper, he had the qualities to become a great ruler.

The empress was the most talented woman in the empire, and if she had been born a man, she would have led the nation to its heyday.

Camilla, although violent, was actually a good-natured person, unlike her parents.

And finally, Raoul admired him so much that he commented that if he had a son, he would want to have someone like him.

“Repent and die in regret for the sins committed by your ancestors.”

The king fired arrows without stopping.

To wipe out all the bloodlines of the hateful empire.

The Emperor who desperately searches for the Empress, the evil Empress who is hiding somewhere, Camilla who has lost her love and is going wild, and Raoul who is on the verge of death.

They had to be killed and exterminated.
