Episode 429
Let’s sort it out.
He’s running away now. He’s buying time. Just ten days at most.
Even taking into account the margin of error, it really should be no longer than 14 days.
He used Tulcan’s entire support base as bait just to survive for 14 more days. Did he think I wouldn’t be able to catch up?
Did you think I would just sit still because I was too exhausted to keep fighting?
My mouth is wide open. It was so amazing.
But the surprise was short-lived.
The fact that there was still more bottom to pull out lifted some of the emptiness. I laughed for a while. I laughed like crazy.
To think that a kid like this was my enemy? To think that I fought this piece of trash, no different from a common extra, for seven or eight years.
I felt sorry for myself. The laughter grew louder. It kept getting louder.
“Kreuk- kruk.”
Oh, I forgot.
First, I relaxed my hands.
Our Duke Hell was on the verge of suffocating. Well, if I may finish.
“It’s pointless to ask when it started. It must have been the night I brought down the Red Gate or the next morning.”
Duke Hell’s face, flushed red, didn’t give me an answer whether yes or no, but I could tell just by looking at it that what I said was correct.
“Okay, so where did he go? There’s no trace of him going to the people around me, and in fact, if I knew him, he wouldn’t go to the people around me. Because I don’t know him. Because I know that I took action. So there’s only one answer.”
Where did you go?
“Eastern Continent. I guess he went there.”
Duke Hell’s eyes widen at my words.
But wait a minute.
“What did you say just now? You finally came all the way here?”
I just slapped the bastard in the face.
Crack-!
The bastard’s face turned around and five teeth popped out. Of course, it was natural for him to step down from the throne.
I grabbed the bastard by the hair.
“A dog that was raised with great care at home is surprised when it looks in the mirror. It thought it was a human, but it turns out it’s a dog.”
As expected, Duke Hell was acting like a normal person would. He was expressing his fear with his whole body.
It was different from the arrogant attitude he had shown while sitting on the throne just a moment ago. He must have had something to believe in. The power that Iskandar had instilled in him.
Iskandar gave more than 70% of his power to this guy, so much so that I mistook him for Iskandar.
And if this much time has passed, there is a high probability that Iskandar has recovered.
100% power, and now you must be chewing on your situation.
In all these situations, one thing is assumed.
I shouldn’t chase after that guy.

He lowered his head.
Duke Hell.
The talent he possesses is clear. The fact that he used the power he received from Iskandar to that extent means that his talent is truly clear. However, that was all.
I neutralized the energy that Iskandar had planted in Duke Hell in one go. Duke Hell was now trembling. That’s the vessel of this guy. A vessel of just that size.
“I have to realize the subject.”
The bastard’s mouth opens as if he wants to deny it. I had no intention of listening. Of course, I had no intention of letting him live.
I don’t care if he’s Angela Hell’s older brother or anything like that.
I just kicked the guy in the face.
Phew-!
Duke Hell rolled down the platform.
I took a short, deep breath and closed my eyes.
I mentioned this briefly before, but I don’t know how many people listened.
If I want to kill someone, that someone will definitely die. If I want to save someone, that someone will definitely live.
If the guy I’m trying to kill runs away, I’ll go to the ends of the continent and kill him.
I took another deep breath and gathered my energy.
Kugu Palace.
The palace shook. The sky shook. The earth wept.
My energy covers the world. It spreads. It spreads all the way to the vast ocean of the Black Sea.
The wave spreads out, and the spreading wave of mana explodes, gaining momentum and spreading out at a faster speed.
An enormous distance. I scanned the distance, which was over thousands of kilometers.
The Black Sea. A ship drifting there catches the eye.
A ship with all sorts of magical properties.
And the strange currents of the Black Sea, so great that they tangle the flow of mana I spread.
I pierced through it and looked into the ship.
There are four biological responses felt there.
One of them flinched and trembled.
I feel every single moment I turn my head.
That’s enough.
I opened my eyes and looked down at the three guys lying on the floor.
“Just wait a moment, I’ll reunite you.”
He waved his hand.
My heart was pounding and my head was throbbing. I didn’t care.

A space opened up in front of my nose. The coordinates are a bit vague, but this should be enough.
I walked towards the torn space.

Beckerman, who was steering the boat, felt a chill for a moment.
I got goosebumps all over my body. My hands started shaking involuntarily.
The atmosphere was tense. It felt like the world was shaking.
It feels like I’m being watched by God.
The word creepy couldn’t describe all these feelings at once.
It was just… ominous.
I raised my head.
The ship was cruising.
The black sky with lightning was still there, and the snow-covered sea on the other side was still there.
What could it be?
I guess I felt wrong.
Was it my heightened senses telling me to be more vigilant against the ominous Black Sea sky and sea?
No, that wasn’t it.
I looked at the sky again.
“… … .”
My mouth won’t open.
The first disciple, Merengues, and the second disciple, Roman Stewart, also felt something and came closer.
The three men were looking at the same place.
Black sky, lightning striking. Crackling thunder.
The man wearing the black robe was there.
It was among the yellow lightning streaks, as if it had been there from the beginning.
His presence was tremendous.
Black Sea? Whirlpool? Currents of Mana?
That was just a sideshow. The whole sky was just a sideshow.
He said.
“You’ve come a long way in six days. I almost missed you.”
Chapter 2
Beckerman was the first to react.
He draws his sword and raises his spirit.
I felt his gaze, his gestures, and the atmosphere. And then I ended up laughing.
Now it’s starting to look a bit like Beckerman.
“The Emperor’s Sword that I knew, the loyal Emperor’s dog. Seeing the appearance of Heynckes Beckerman, the strongest swordsman on the continent, I wonder if he has matured a bit in the meantime?”
“……so?”
“So what’s the big deal? It’s just like that.”
Our Beckerman was clearly exhausted. It was clear evidence that he had been controlling the Black Sea almost single-handedly while Iskandar lay in wait.

It seems like Iskandar is the last one to remember the past.
He just turned his head away.
A man standing next to Beckerman, also holding a sword, pointing it at me.
Merengues.
Beckerman’s first disciple and a future candidate to become the continent’s strongest prosecutor.
This is probably a sphere.
This guy was the one who appeared as an extra in the lab where we were saving cells before and then got kicked out, but he seems to have grown quite a bit since then. He looks like he’s at least a mid-level master.
And next to him. A man with blond hair and a boyish appearance, not short. Roman Stewart.
“Is this your choice?”
A person who ranks among the top talents I have ever seen nods his head.
The guy’s eyes were also stern.
Yeah, that’s fine.
Finally, I turned my head.
Long hair. A long robe that reaches down to the knees, like a nobleman would wear, with a thin cotton T-shirt underneath. Comfortable cotton pants. And black shoes.
Those clothes may look ordinary, but I know they are all thin armor made of mithril.
Because.
“You’re still wearing the same clothes you were wearing when you were being bullied.”
“… … .”
“How long has it been since we last saw each other? Five months?”
Iskandar’s teeth clenched and his eyes blazed.
what.
“You haven’t become mute yet, so why aren’t you talking? It’s disappointing.”
When I try to smile, the guy growls.
“… … What a tough relationship. You damn brat.”
I agree. It’s not a wrong statement. This tenacious relationship.
In my previous life, we were just meant to kill each other, nothing more, nothing less, but in this life, many things have changed.
We are of the same Gunnar bloodline.
They are very distant cousins.
But looking at the tail, it seems like he doesn’t know.
That’s what the guy said to me.
“You look very tired.”
Others didn’t feel it, but Iskandar felt different.
I knew at a glance that my body was not normal right now.
I ended up laughing again.
“so?”
Advertisements
Iskandar also laughs at my question. But there was something strange about his laugh.
As he observed me closely, the nature of his smile changed little by little.
At first it was a confused laugh, then a bewildered laugh, and now it was a laugh of absurdity.
“You’ve always been like that. You pretend to be relaxed even when it’s obvious you’re tired. You were like that then too.”
Kookung.
For a moment, the Black Sea seemed to stop.
A pure white energy streams out from Iskandar’s body. The robe he is wearing flutters.
“It was just one stroke.”
The bastard takes a step forward toward me, who doesn’t respond.
I know what he’s talking about now. It was when I fought Iskandar in my last life. I’m talking about that time.
Then the bastard’s last attack tore at my side. Not just a tear, but a wound that tore the flesh to pieces.
A wound that could be called a ‘fatal wound’.
“I could have torn out your heart, but unfortunately I failed.”
I put the Heavenly Horse Sword into the ground and straightened my hair that was blowing in the wind.
It’s interesting to listen to.
“What happened after that? I remember, but I guess you don’t.”
“… … .”
“Just one point? Even after the baby dies, it’s still the same. That’s why you can’t do it.”
Just look at the results. I won and he lost. I exercised my rights as a winner and he ended his life as a loser.
But looking at the way he speaks.
“Do you really think it’s worth it?”
The bastard’s smile deepens.
As if there was no need to say anything, the bastard’s body disappeared from that spot. It disappeared like smoke.
I grabbed the handle of the Heavenly Horse Sword and swung it. The direction was to the right.
Kwaaaaang-!
A loud noise erupts. A clash of souls, a clash of souls reaching a high level, spreads out in all directions.
The current of mana that covered the sky of the Black Sea burst out and the surrounding whirlpools disappeared.
In that situation, Iskandar looks at his arm that was thrown away with surprised eyes.
Surprised eyes, Iskandar was surprised now. Rather, I was surprised by his reaction.
Why is the guy who ran away so surprised?
Something was being produced that was not understandable from a common sense perspective.
Once again, Iskandar’s body disappears like smoke.
Vermont Taker, who was called the Dark King in his previous life when he wiped out the Tulcan Empire.
I mentioned that this guy was a part of my insomnia, and to elaborate a bit, this guy is a huge part of my insomnia.
