Duke’s Quadruplets Are All Overpowered Chapter 30

30

“My son… … .”

said the count.

“They say it shows how you communicate with Yeongsu.”

The devil’s torn body rotted in an instant. The smell of blood and rotten meat mixed together gave off a terrible stench. Green blood and rotten flesh mixed together and the ground turned into sewage. The Count’s feet were stained with dirt.

“I told you to come to the lake.”

But the count knelt down. He didn’t care if the dirt stained his pants. It seemed like he couldn’t smell the terrible stench. He covered his face with trembling hands. The blue blood spouted by the devil slowly spreads across his face like paint. I didn’t dare comfort him.

“sorry.”

The Count looked at me with empty eyes, his expression echoing sadness, then his face distorted with anger, and he clenched his face as if he was enduring pain. In the end, he couldn’t bear it anymore and screamed. It was a cruel and sad scream.

He killed the demon himself.

He didn’t blame me for revealing that Karant was the devil.

During the Great War, the Count had already suffered many wounds from the devil, so he knew how to deal with it. But the feeling of loss is something you never get used to. Losing a loved one? This is something that everyone experiences several times in their lives. However, he had to let his child go first, and was killed not by an accident but by an evil being called the devil. I barely forgot, but even the son I had later was killed by the devil. How lonely it must have been, how painful it must have been, even as a stranger, my heart felt tight when I saw Karant dead at the lonely bottom of the lake.

I could not dare imagine Count Schwarzen’s suffering.

* * *

Time passes.

The count stopped screaming and got up.

The pain hasn’t gone away. The sadness has not subsided.

However, he is holding back, swallowing his bitterness, and asking me a question.

He was a strong man.

“Can a moon child distinguish between demons?”

The Count asks.

“You knew from the beginning that Karant was the devil. how? “I didn’t even know the father I lived with this guy all my life, so what was my talent for recognizing the devil?”

“It is the power of spiritual water.”

“Youngsu?”

“I wasn’t sure he was the devil from the beginning. He threw out the bait, and when he was alone in the lake, the bastard showed its true colors, revealing that it was a demon. “It’s all thanks to Youngsu’s help.”

I tried to come up with a plausible reason. Unfortunately, lying was the best.

“I’m sorry for deceiving you, Count. In order to identify impersonators, rather than informing many people, I decided to do it on my own… … .”

“stop. I know. So, don’t apologize.”

The Count experienced firsthand the horrors of the ‘impersonators’ that occurred decades ago.

He had it figured out.

But this shit is not a matter of understanding, acknowledging, or accepting.

I guided the Count to the lake. Then, he carefully held Karant’s body, which he had hidden on the riverbank, and showed it to him. As soon as the Count saw Karant’s body, he rushed over. Even though he slipped and fell in the mud, the Count quickly got up and ran towards Karant with his eyes focused only on Karant, smoothing his cheek with a trembling hand.

Those killed by the devil cannot find their bodies. Because the Count knew that fact, he began to sob like a child from the moment he saw Karant’s intact corpse. He shouted as he hugged Karant.

“If only my father had stayed by my side, I would have asked nothing more. Karant, I’m sorry. “It’s because of me, Karant, Karant.”

Those left behind suffer from guilt.

The Count’s appearance was a familiar one that I had seen countless times in my past life. It’s because of me, it’s because of me. shit.

“Count Schwarzen. Karant was a spiritualist.”

“… what?”

“There was a spirit beast living in Lake Terrarin. Probably, he was the spirit beast that had been sealing the demon of the lake until now. The reason why Lord Karant’s body was not eaten by the devil and remained intact after being submerged in a deep lake for several months was because the spirit beast was protecting Lord Karant. That’s not because spirit beasts are benevolent beings. They are beings of nature and believe that death is nothing more than providence. However, the spirit who communicated with the magician and exchanged emotions is different. That must have been the reason why the lake spirit guarded Lord Karant. Sir Karant was not eaten by the devil. He fought against the devil with deep sacrifice and courageous spirit, long enough to keep his body for a long time. The reason why the demon released from the seal has not been able to commit massacre until now is because it was in a very weakened state and needed to recover its strength.”

It was then. Splashes appeared in the lake along with the sound of splashing. This is a phenomenon that arose from Dalbi’s playfulness. The Count looked at the spray with startled eyes and shed tears.

“This is not little consolation. Sir Karant would certainly have been a great psychic. “A great spiritualist with blue eyes and the spirit of the lake.”

The Count, who was holding his son’s hand for a long time, spoke to me in a hoarse voice.

“You are very kind, just like Lord Reinberg.”

The Count’s sincerity.

“But other than that, he is extremely cruel.”

I couldn’t make any excuses.

“Thank you.”

Terralin Lake, illuminated by stars and moonlight, was so shiny that it was useless.

shit.

* * *

I returned to the castle, but I couldn’t fall asleep easily.

I sat quietly and assumed a meditative posture accepting nature.

The wind blows inside the body.

And cold water droplets tickle my cheek.

It’s changed.

After meditation, I definitely felt better than before.

“The charger’s performance has improved.”

Dalby’s blue tail fur trembled.

* * *

Less than three days after sending the wax-sealed letter, my father arrived at Sterram Castle. The Duke of Reinberg’s visit took place in secret. Except for the vassals and knights under Reinberg, as well as the count, everyone in Sterram Castle did not know about this incident, and the imperial family and the Holy See were not informed of this incident. Only me, the Count, and my father knew.

Karant’s death will be known later. Poor Karant, he didn’t even get to have a funeral. The Count had to endure his sorrow alone. I don’t know how long it will take for this situation to calm down. I felt miserable that I couldn’t even honor the soul of the dead person.

The meeting about the ‘impersonator’ took place in the count’s drawing room.

This Karant incident is the release of a sealed devil. The situation was different from the great war that took place a few decades ago. But the fact that this happened was itself a problem. It was believed that demons could no longer be seen in the Kunkan Empire. There are demons that we haven’t yet identified, we don’t know if there will be demons left after the Great War, and we need to prepare defenses now to prepare for an emergency. The Count’s voice was loud in this case. His sadness soon turned into hatred and anger toward the devil.

As the meeting progressed, I learned something surprising. My father has been very busy these days. He was rarely at Quartz Castle except for trips to the shrine of Artemis and his birthday parties. My father was often away somewhere, leaving his official duties to his vassals. It turns out he was investigating ‘rumors’ about an impersonator.

After looking into rumors of missing people returning or suddenly changing their behavior, my father came to the conclusion that there might be impersonators in the empire.

I wasn’t surprised. My sister Melissa said that. The bottomless pit is said to be ‘empty’. He even personally encountered the devil disguised as a slave trader. Pretenders will be active not only in the Kunkan Empire, but also in other kingdoms and continents beyond the sea. However, unlike during the Great War, there was no noticeable movement.

Count Schwarzen, burning with hatred, ignited a fierce fire at his father, who was investigating rumors of an impersonator. Unlike during the Great War, there was a consensus that the disguisers should be nipped in the bud before they made any moves.

Count Schwarzen supported his father, and his father said he would soon find a ‘place’ for him. The most important thing in the plan was the spiritualist. It is already a widely known fact that spirits are like poison to devils. Moreover, if you know how to handle spirit beasts, you will be solid evidence and not a ‘disguiser’. There are also points where it is easy to distinguish between spiritualists.

We don’t know how far the impersonator has infiltrated the empire. His father’s argument was this.

Gather the spiritualists as quietly as possible and eradicate them at the same time.

And the most important key to this plan.

It was me.

When I left the Count’s room after the meeting, I glanced at the shelf.

The three decorated stones were missing.

* * *

The carriage did not carry Reinberg’s insignia.

My father had a stern expression on his face the whole way back to Quartz Castle.

said the count. I distinguished the devil with the help of a spirit beast.

There’s no way he doesn’t know. His father is the best spirit surgeon in the empire. I sensed a demon that even he couldn’t distinguish with the power of a spirit beast? You would have realized it was a lie.

There are not many ways to distinguish between demons. The ritual of the black priests or the Count’s red eyes made him realize that he was a camouflage, putting him in a state of half-sound to prevent him from camouflaging himself. Even if spirit beasts have influence, they cannot immediately distinguish between demons like I can.

But my father didn’t tell me what to do.

My father used to look at me with complicated eyes.

It seemed like he was looking at me with pity, and at times it seemed like he was happy.

I vaguely expected the complicated feelings he felt. When we arrived at Quartz’s estate and got into Reinberg’s carriage, I hinted to my father. This was what I said at his birthday party.

“I won’t disappoint you.”

My father ruffled my hair.

* * *

“I haven’t been able to fight for a few days, so today I will fight three people.”

The sparring with Lanista has begun. To forget the pain of the terrible things I experienced in Sterram, it was much better to move my body than to lie still in bed.

“Who are the people who will ‘die’ today?”

“under! They are Teacher Baekseo, Maenangeom, and Sokhwagwi. When I fell into the loneliness and poison of the Demonic Cult and fought hundreds of demons… … .”

“You don’t have to tell me the details.”

Lanista chuckled.

“It must be delicious to lose.”

He placed a long sword, two short daggers, and a sickle on the floor. It seemed to be the weapon used by the martial arts people that he would imitate today. I shrugged and said to Lanista.

“I was thinking, this is real life, right?”

“hmm.”

“Why was I so stubborn? Since I was learning martial arts, I had to only use my body.”

I looked at Dalby.

“You have to do it like it’s real.”

I felt it when I was fighting the devil.

You have to hit everything.

It’s not just martial arts.

Get more and stronger power,

You had to be able to handle that power skillfully.

It was dawn, the sun had not risen, but the sky began to brighten.

Lannistar shook his head. His eyes might fall from the sky.

“My brother is now Teacher Baekseo or something, right? “How can he do that?”

Just before the moon fragment dropped by Dalbi hit the parade ground, Lanista laughed.

“ha ha ha!”

Kuung-!

Finally, a meteorite fell.

Since Lanista became the knight commander, a spell has been placed on the parade ground. Even if you destroy it with Melissa’s magic, it will be restored to its original state over time. However, a deep crater was created where the meteorite fell, and the parade ground could not be restored.

Cluck, cluck!

A Lannister was seen crawling out of the hole in the thick dust.

His body was dusty and dirty, but there were no wounds. I felt a strange sense of joy watching Lanista coughing.

“I guess.”

The Lanista guy’s eyes have changed.

I suddenly wondered if I had made a mistake.

His eyes were so bright. Why does it shine like that? It’s like looking into the eyes of a young boy, full of interest. Rather, the eyes of the lion that scolded and beat me would be better.

“I guess I’ll have to skip some steps.”

The Lannistar raised his sword.

“iced coffee! “It’s not possible to use your original strength!”

“Don’t be puffed up.”

I’ve seen it a few times. The Reinberg family’s skilled knights dealt with things called ‘Aurors’, and I had also seen the mysterious energy forming on their swords.

Lanista, an aura began to form on his sword as well. It’s definitely not his original power. What he showed in the bottomless pit was not the amount of beading on the sword, but the energy of a huge red dragon filling the surrounding area.

However, unlike the martial arts people he was imitating before, he uses auras.

“You’re screwed.”

“This is a non-angry inspection of a volcano. “He is more than a low-level warrior, he is a martial arts warrior.”

The difficulty level has changed drastically.

But instead of running away, I transformed Ramel Star into a weapon.

A little more, a little more.

If I don’t push myself to the limit, to the point where I think it’s impossible, I won’t be able to achieve the strength I want.

* * *

My fingers are shaking, but Ushasu will fix it, right?

“My determination has changed.”

The Lannistar asked.

“Why do you want to become strong?”

“Is this conversation necessary?”

I’m in pain, but I’m not happy with the Lanistar who’s telling me to talk.

“Wasn’t this a conversation befitting a priest?”

Unfortunately, I couldn’t raise my middle finger because I was afraid it would fall off.

“… For everything.”

Instead, I answered. Anyway, as long as he considers me a disciple, it’s better to accommodate him.

“hmm?”

I answered roughly, but it was sincere.

Reinberg’s matriarch, favor ceremony, demon slaying, Lanista, Melissa, Ushas, ​​past life, companions, family, survival, resistance, freedom, will.

Everything is possible only with strength.

The need for power was desperate even in my past life.

In the end, he gave up and died in vain, not even remembering how he died.

If only I hadn’t given up.

“Everything… … .”

The Lannistar suddenly started preaching.

“Disciple, a greedy person will face two different consequences.”

what.

“One is the one who gets nothing and dies miserably.”

Your voice is full of confidence. Let’s see where it goes.

“The other becomes the guy who wins everything. Just like me. ha ha ha!”

I lifted my middle finger with difficulty. Oops, it fell off.
