Genius Gamer, Reincarnated into a Heroic Family Chapter 298

Garden of Life (7)

Less noise!

The shattered pieces of armor scattered and fell to the ground. Baidal fell to one knee, bleeding. This was a terrible shame for a knight.

A knight must kneel only when submitting to his lord.

The reason he had to kneel down was, unfortunately, because he had failed to overcome the evil spirits that he had ignored and taken lightly until now.

Whioooo… … !!

The whole sky was dyed purple.

It seemed as if the world had been covered in an unclean color. All the researchers had already fainted and had their souls stolen, and the director of the research center, Merticol, and the sorcerer, Rangel, were barely able to protect themselves and tremble.

As he was about to pick up his sword again, Baidal suddenly realized that his right arm was completely crushed.

A shoulder that was dyed purple, as if it were rotten and decayed. It was a wound that had been inflicted while trying to fight against what the sorcerer called the ‘evil spirit’.

As a prosecutor, losing my right arm meant I could no longer continue fighting. It was also safe to say that my life as a prosecutor was over.

“Coolook… … .”

After spitting out a handful of blood, Baidal sensed defeat. He couldn’t understand it. His swordsmanship had definitely cut down the evil spirits. The screams they let out were proof of that, and he could feel his energy gradually weakening with his whole body.

But they absorbed souls even faster than that, healed their wounds, and grew.

At first, it didn’t even have a proper form, but while fighting against Baidal, it began to form an effective form for combat.

Yes, it was a human figure.

The soul did not want a body like a mannequin. They simply created a body made of souls themselves. The body created in this way did not have proper skin, and had internal organs and eyeballs forcibly stuffed into it. It only had arms and legs, but it could not be considered human at all.

It had nine arms and seven legs, but they were positioned randomly, so that the legs were where the arms should be, and the legs that supported the body were actually the arms.

Dozens of joints were broken, and the sword it was holding had a tangled appearance, as if blood vessels were tangled here and there.

A sword? It was just an imitation of Baidal’s sword, but it wasn’t a sword, it was a blunt weapon. It was made like a sword, but it had no cutting power, and it was just a simple, crude blunt weapon that resembled only the shape. However, Baidal was no match for such a crude blunt weapon.

“That’s ridiculous… If something like that were to escape from here, more than half of the continent would collapse.”

It was a physical force beyond imagination.

The physical force that ghosts exert on the world is limited to shaking objects a little. If people could exert physical force even after death, there would be no assassination or murder in the world.

How can the dead come back and kill you?

Ghosts cannot influence the world. However, when hundreds of powerful evil spirits gather together and form a single self, even such common sense is completely shattered. It has become a physical entity, and has gained power that overwhelms the nine-star knights.

And he harbored a grudge and hatred against the world itself.

Now it has been reborn as a killing machine that destroys and crushes any living thing it sees.

“If something like that gets released… … it’s all over.”

Baidal was afraid.

It was a secondary matter that it went out into the world and destroyed cities and brought down countries.

The first problem was that their misdeeds were exposed to the world and their reputation as knights fell to rock bottom.

Bydal Keighley.

The second son of the Keighley family, and a genius among geniuses that will never come from the family again.

His father always supported and took care of his younger brother, Baidal, more than his older brother, who was the eldest son. The other brothers were jealous of Baidal, but in the end, they could do nothing about it.

Because it was already impossible to overcome him by force or power.

Even when Bydal became the first knight of Kaladan, didn’t the whole village celebrate it as a blessing for the family?

As a knight of Caladan, I must never allow myself to be caught entangled in such sordid research while I continue to uphold the honor and prestige of House Keilah!

‘I have built up such a reputation that I can never do that!’

I am the only hope for my family, and the only hope for my village.

Even if I die here, I cannot leave behind any dishonor.

‘The Twelve Swords Elders Council said. If necessary, destroy all evidence and commit suicide.’

Then the Presbyterian Church swore that it would make it known to the world that Baidal had died an honorable death.

A knight’s oath is heavier than the sky. Baidal intended to die here.

“We have to break the barrier seal or all the researchers here will die!”

“Coolook! Hurry up and release the barrier! I can’t die here!”

In Merticol’s opinion, the researchers here were not ready to die in a place like this yet.

Including myself!

“We are the ones closest to eternal life. We cannot die in a place like this when the eternal truth is right before our eyes!”

“… … No. I still don’t believe you. Immortality. That’s a good thing. At first, I firmly believed it, but now I can’t believe it. Do you really think that you’re the closest to immortality after seeing that right in front of your eyes?”

Merticol shook his head as Baidal pointed at the demon with the sword he held in his left hand.

“That’s just a one-time failure. We can contact our parents and deal with it. There may be some damage in the meantime, but it’s better for the insignificant things to die than for us to die. We have the technology and knowledge to advance the human species to the next level.”

“Well, it could all be just empty technology and knowledge. I don’t trust you anymore. Rather than let that thing out, I’d rather keep it locked up here forever as a knight.”

“what……!”

In order to dismantle the barrier, Baidal’s power was absolutely necessary. Without his cooperation, no matter how many magicians and sorcerers there were, nothing could be done.

“Don’t be stupid! We can’t die in a place like this! You must know the value of the knowledge we possess!”

“It’s worthless.”

“Damn it, I can’t throw my life away in a place like this! Cooperate now, Baidal!”

Merticol shouted with all his might. Up until now, whenever he shouted, Baidal had obediently cooperated.

“… … Since when did you think you were the one giving me orders?”

But now things are different. With Merticol’s research not only making no progress, but rather worsening the situation, Baidal no longer had to bow down to him.

In a time when life is at stake and the evil spirit is right before your eyes, the person with the most say is the one with the strongest military power.

Baidal left the evil spirit running wild and devouring the souls of the researchers, and approached Rangel and Merticol.

“Anyway, there’s no hope. If I kill you here and take my life, there won’t be any evidence left anyway. That evil spirit will only show himself to the world after the research center is completely destroyed and the evidence disappears.”

“Now, wait a minute… … When that happens, the evil spirit will become even more powerful! Then, it might really be unstoppable!”

“What do I know? This is the world after I die. I will be enough to leave behind a name as a knight who fell while trying to stop that evil spirit. In that world where countless casualties occurred, I will be known as a knight who died with honor. You will be revealed to be illegal researchers who summoned the evil spirit. That will be enough.”

“This, this crazy guy… … Is that honor more important than your life?”

“I don’t understand you guys who value your life over honor.”

“Stop talking nonsense! As long as you’re alive, you can do anything!”

“Really? That’s a good idea. But if you want to express that kind of opinion, you should have enough power.”

“Shit……!”

As Baidal raised his sword, Merticol and Rangel stepped back. But there was nowhere to retreat. The barrier that had been set up to protect their souls from the evil spirits was trapping them.

Even though Baidal has lost his right arm, there is still no way to defeat him.

“If you guys die, there will be no evidence that I cooperated here. Goodbye.”

As he said this, the moment Baidal was about to swing his sword, a tree sprang up from the ground and caught his shoulder and sword.

Clang!

Not only that, a blue chain of light shot out from the air and blocked Baidal’s movements.

It was only for a second or so, but Baidal was temporarily unable to swing his sword, and in that moment, a man who appeared before his eyes like an illusion pushed his sword away.

Wow-!

Baidal took a few steps back.

He had a look of displeasure on his face, and a menacing look in his eyes.

“Harang Paul Caladan… … I don’t know how you got in here, but please step aside. We will handle things here.”

Harang looked back and forth between Merticol, Rangel, Baidal, and Aksin.

“What a pitiful thing. You failed in your attempt to defeat the evil spirit, so you would rather choose death? And to destroy the evidence, you even try to eliminate the being you are supposed to protect. There is no more uglier end for a knight.”

At Harang’s words, Baidal bit his lips tightly. A little blood flowed out, but he didn’t seem to feel any pain.

“You, my lord, who was born with everything from the beginning, probably don’t know how much the lower class people like us risk our lives for our honor. Those of us who have to struggle to build up our reputation even a little bit must be clean even in the end.”

“If you wanted a clean ending, you shouldn’t have cooperated in this.”

“… … If you don’t cooperate with this kind of work, you won’t be able to advance to a higher place. You don’t know, since you always live in clean and bright places.”

Baidal snorted.

“You learn the swordsmanship of the Kaladan family, and when you turn 10, you can get one of the family’s famous swords for free. You easily complete the missions assigned to you by your family and make your name known to the world. You have no idea how hard our lives are since you are walking down such a smooth road!”

Harang was dumbfounded by those words. Not a single thing Baidal said was true.

In order to learn the direct swordsmanship, he had to undergo hellish training among teenagers starting at the age of seven, and because he was born as the son of an abandoned child, he was not even given the chance to take the test, and instead of receiving a famous sword for free, he was almost kicked out at a young age.

Easily completing assigned missions? Every single mission Harang has ever completed was the most difficult in history, unbecoming of her age.

But Harang didn’t say anything like that.

Childish arguments about who had it harder or who was more unhappy are just a waste of time.

“Your Majesty, if there was a way to get in here, there must be a way to get out. Just leave quietly. If not, I will cut you down too. No, there is no need for that. You will not be able to defeat me anyway, and even if you do, you will have no choice but to turn your back and run away in the face of that evil spirit, right?”

Baidal’s tone was sarcastic.

He also knows that the media has often referred to Harang Paul Caladan as a ‘hero’.

However, Baidal has never seen Harang train, and he doesn’t know how he receives missions.

He was simply considered a ‘created hero’ who carried out a mission assigned to him by his family with the help of his family.

It would be fortunate if such a real monster appeared before the eyes of such a made-up hero and he didn’t pee or something.

It is a very natural choice for a young master in his 20s from a renowned swordsmanship family who grew up like a flower in a greenhouse.

“Hurry up and run away, my lord. If everyone here dies anyway, there won’t be any witnesses. No one will remember your ugly appearance. And you’re just masturbating. ‘I ran away because it wasn’t my time yet. If I had just had a little more time and was stronger, I would have fought you!’ Think like that and live your life. Because that’s the reality of the authors who are descendants of the famous swordsmanship family.”

Harang still didn’t respond.

He didn’t even laugh.

Because everything he says is wrong. There’s no need to get angry and respond to something that’s not true at all. That would be a waste of time.

It was the same in his previous life. Harang didn’t care if others left malicious comments or criticized him with some ridiculous false accusation. If he showed that he didn’t do that, the anger would naturally subside.

So Harang walked forward holding his sword.

Passing by Baidal, towards the being referred to as the evil spirit.

“You should cool your head there for a moment, Baidal.”

“… … What are you planning to do? I sure as hell don’t believe you’re so stupid as to do something so stupid.”

Taniya also walked behind Harang. She was trembling with fear, but she was moving with effort, thinking that if she did not defeat the evil spirit, many people would be in danger and the souls suffering inside would not be freed.

“I am not stupid.”

A golden sword he pulled out.

“I’m just doing what I have to do as a knight.”

The lower chamber’s sword glowed.
