Episode 299
I waved my hand roughly.
Since the organization called Dokwan made me a Death Knight, Grunhill would be dead.
The Allied Forces would have collapsed, and the entire continent would have been destroyed.
(That was strong. The Orc Lord and the Harpy Lord cut off more than half of the power of the conduit. And now they are both Death Knights.)
He nodded and pointed to my body with his index finger.
“But this right arm and this thing on the abdomen, isn’t that dragon skin?”
(Yes, that’s right. If you look carefully, you’ll find the skin and flesh of the snake. As you know, my lord.)
“You can make a Death Knight with just a skull and a heart fragment?”
(That’s right. And the reason why your strength is not returning to your body right now is.)
“Why?”
(Because most of the pieces of the Master’s heart are in the hands of the leaders of the Dojo. He will probably recover slowly. They wanted to subdue his psyche and turn him into a bastard while he was ‘in a helpless state’ like now, before he could turn into a Death Knight and regain his strength.)
That was when.
“this guy!!”
“You’re saying this is all you ran away to?”
Dozens of masters and high-circle mana users have arrived.
But, I ignored it.
“So Ron has been helping me all along. He saved my life the other day, and now he’s saving me from being turned into a puppet, right?”
(That’s what it is. So when you really die later, repay the favor.)
Jack laughed at Ron’s joke.
“You said one year?”
(Yes, as far as I know, it’s one year.)
Jack, his eyes darkened by black, slowly stood up from his seat.
“One year is enough.”
(What is it?)
“One year is more than enough time for rumors to spread and the truth to be distorted. Isn’t that right?”
(That’s right.)
Jack stared blankly at Ron.
He blurted out the words.
“The physical breakdown has begun.”
(…….)
“10 days left to live? I think I have about that much left, right?”
(……That will be the case.)
That was enough.
At that moment, those around them began to close the distance.

At the same time, the vague feeling began to come back little by little.
Living is not living.
Jack thought that the mana of other people, unidentified and not his, was flowing through his body.
This mana is annoying, and those unidentified conduit or whatever guys are coming from over there are annoying too.
So he said this.
“I’ll give you 10 seconds. If you want to live a few more days, turn everything off within 10 seconds.”
Some people burst into laughter as they looked at the skinny Jack.
Compared to the Jack back then, when he was called the devil, the Jack now really… …looked pathetic.
Even in that situation, Jack smiled.
Because it’s funny.
“I told you, it only takes a year for rumors to spread and the truth to be distorted.”
Ten seconds passed like that.
Am I destined to live my whole life as a murderer?
Than that.
“A piece of heart? You don’t understand anything about black magic.”
Jack’s eyes sank.
That was the look Jack had when he saw someone stupid, someone who was so stupid that it was ridiculous.
“You don’t even know the basic principle that if you have a ‘center’ that can hold the will, you can unite the heart no matter how much it is split? Black magic? If our master knew, he would jump out of his grave.”
First of all, the first thing that came to mind was a gurgling sound.
The epicenter is Jack.
It was near his heart, and surprisingly, the entire mountain around it reacted.
That was the sound of the gurgling vibration.
Then, all the winds of the world stopped in their tracks.
This was the second change, and the third.
All mana stopped in place.
In that world, Jack moved.
As he took a step, Jack’s feet turned black.
As he took another step, his entire lower body turned black, and when he took another step, Jack’s body was pitch black.
The only one in heaven and earth.
“I never imagined that. Reviving a Transcendent? I guess you treated him like half-bloods.”
It seemed as if they clearly felt that something was wrong with the situation, and the high-circle mana users, including the masters, left their seats.
To run away, to hit.

“Then it should have turned off after 10 seconds.”
Jack raised his hand.
Then the sky splits open, and in that sky a giant devil opens his mouth wide.

at the same time.
Dozens of giant swords protruded from its mouth and covered the sky.
It was spectacular.
It was a spectacle that made Ron, who was watching, open his mouth and even those who were running away stop in their tracks.
Probably not only these people but everyone in this world noticed.
Seriously, a monster has appeared.
The dead monster has come back to life.
Slowly and quickly.
The giant swords that covered the sky moved.
The great swords all slammed down on the ground, as if they had made a promise.
Jack’s enemies could only look on.
One is stuck.
Kuung-!
Two are stuck.
Boom-!!
Three, four, five, six.
When more than a hundred giant swords were stuck in the ground.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!!!
With a loud noise, everything within a radius of several dozen kilometers from Jack and Ron was annihilated.
It disappeared on the spot, as if it had been hit by a meteor, without leaving a trace.
Ron made a brief comment as he gazed at the massive crater that was at least several dozen meters deep and stretched far beyond the horizon.
(……This is my first time seeing it in person, wow, there really is a monster here.)
I turned my head.
“Let’s go on a trip.”
(yes?)
“There are 10 days left. Let’s travel together during that time.”
Ron looked dumbfounded at Jack’s words.
Then he nodded with a very sad expression.
What kind of life did Jack live?
What were you thinking and what did you want?
Because I could tell.
(But I’m getting older and it’s hard for me to walk. Can I ride in the cart?)
Jack burst out laughing.
“It’s been fun since I became a Death Knight. Ta.”
So Ron and Jack traveled the world, and 10 days later.
Advertisements
Ron turned to dust and disappeared.
Traveling with Ron allowed Jack to learn things he didn’t know before.
What kind of life did Noah, the mother I had only seen in portraits, live?
Where were my roots?
Why Ron ran away with his ‘mother’ from a place called the Dojo decades ago.
Jack, still in his trance, watched all of this, slowly sending his thoughts into his soul.
Now, it’s done.
Now that I know enough about the facts I don’t know, I think it’s time to wake up.
So Jack woke up from his dream.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, my teacher spoke to me.
[It took quite a while this time.]
“Is that so?”
The teacher turned his head silently and tapped a part of the calendar with his finger.
“Is today November 30th?”
[okay.]
“I slept for a long time.”
I didn’t say anything, but I finished everything before I went to sleep.
It’s true that Samit lost to Beckerman, but he is still the true Red Master.
Politicians or lunatics with political disease saw it as an opportunity, but in reality, they did something incredibly reckless and foolish.
At least the majority of the people, and even more, depend on Samit.
Such a Samit bowed its head to the being called ‘me’, and I accepted Samit as my subordinate.
The situation became one where the strong reigned over the strong, and the chaos quickly subsided.
Of course, there will be those who don’t believe it, but what can we do?
You have to make them believe it.
The groundwork has already been laid. After that, I leisurely took the kids and went around Ishmael.
There were things like donations made to the Academy Development Fund from the Cradle Kingdom and other kingdoms, or sending delegations to exchange various things. There was no need to mention these things twice.
It worked out well, I benefited a lot, and everything went as planned.
Samit again ruled over Ishmael as king, and he also cleared out all the bugs in Ishmael that were part of the council.
The date when all this ended was November 25th.
And that day I fell asleep.
I held out for a few days without sleeping on purpose, and finally fell asleep, but by November 30th, I had slept for almost five days.
I stretched slowly.
cadet.
I drew the curtains and looked out the window.
Dawn. I looked at the sky where daybreak was breaking and organized my thoughts.
Things from my past life that I just saw in my dream.

‘In the past, Ron belonged to a place called the Dojo with my mother, and escaped from there. The power of that place called the Dojo is much greater than I imagined, and that organization revived me who had become a corpse. Nominally, it was to make me a Death Knight in order to stop the monsters that came from the Eastern Continent, but if you look at the chronological order, it doesn’t match. Did he want to use me to rule the continent? That’s strange. With that level of power, he could rule the continent even if he came out now, so why bother?’
Laughter breaks out.
Wow, my goodness.
There really was a third organization on this continent that no one knew about.
‘That’s interesting.’
You didn’t say anything, how could I not know this?
I thought that even if I didn’t know, I should know about the Tulcan Empire that ruled the continent, but even I, who researched everything about Tulcan, had never heard of the Dojo, so this means that even the Tulcan Empire didn’t know about it.
How big of an organization is this?
But why do such organizations continue to hide in the shadows?
There were more than one or two questions that arose.
[You seem deep in thought.]
I burst out laughing at the teacher’s words.
“Once or twice?”
[So, were you wondering what to eat for dinner today?]
hmm.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just say so?”
[Hehehe.]
There’s no point in thinking about it now. I’m going to go to Tesla soon anyway, so I should go and have a serious talk with Ron.
When you think like that.
The small communication device on the desk began to ring with a whoosh.
As soon as I heard it, the face of a man I hadn’t seen in a long time came to mind.
A mature impression with copper-colored skin.
A well-proportioned physique with a square jaw.
More like a soldier than an instructor teaching someone at the academy.
The name of this man, who looks like a general, is Gray Cierran.
That’s right, Gray, the one who told me to manipulate public opinion because of the previous incident where I annihilated the punitive force.
I went on vacation to my hometown, and it seems like it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen you.
{It seems like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, Your Majesty.}
I guess we had the same thought.
He said with a smile.
“Yeah, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. But.”
The words trailed off for a moment.
Because.
Gray’s expression didn’t look that good.
“What’s wrong? Your expression looks gloomy.”
Gray, who had been silent for a moment, said:
{Confucius, may I ask you one thing?}
Even after the competition was over, Gray didn’t contact me.
Advertisements
To be honest, I was a little disappointed, but I just let it be.
Since you’re on vacation anyway, you should rest while you can.
But what are you trying to ask?
Judging by the dark expression on his face, it seems like something has happened.
hmm.
I said it without showing it as much as possible.
“Oh, ask me. What is it?”
After that, Gray said something I really didn’t expect.
{How did you feel, Confucius, when you killed your father, Clark Valantier?}
I didn’t want to mention this twice either.
When I unified the territory of Teslan, I entrusted the territory to people I could trust.
Not to mention our older sister, the most important thing here is the Marquis Cierran, the Gray family.
The Marquis of Cierran has absorbed a couple of marquises, several white lords, and even a barony, and this territory borders Tulcan.
This is really important.
Don’t people from other kingdoms approach the nobles who rule such a central position?
That’s dereliction of duty.
He must have approached it in some way, and it must have been at least ten times.
That’s where I sent Gray on vacation.
I sent you to figure out the situation, find some mental and physical stability, and take care of the military. And then you suddenly say something like this?
The current situation where you ask me how I felt when I killed my father, Clark Valantier.
I didn’t laugh.
To be exact, I couldn’t laugh.
I let out a small sigh at the sight of Gray’s expression as he waited for an answer.
