Episode 77
* * *
Christopher was furious.
Duke of Malone.
I didn’t care what the world thought of me.
He was a benefactor to Christopher, and was like another father to him.
For a moment, I forgot about it as I watched Tolisso, right in front of me, spouting top-secret information about the dark side to a strange kid.
The fact that Tolisso had to be taken alive.
But it was too late.
The power had already been raised, and the two daggers were swinging towards Tolisso’s neck.
After that, something strange happened.
Boom-!
Along with a loud noise, I felt a heavy feeling in my two arms where I was crossing my daggers.
And I could see it.
The two blades were stopped crossed exactly 10 centimeters away from Tolisso’s neck.
And the small arm holding those two blades in one hand.
I forgot how angry I was, and I forgot that I tried to kill Tolisso.
A sense of wonder.
embarrassment.
A feeling that is difficult to describe swirls through Christopher’s mind.
so.
“……uh?”
I had no choice but to let out such a stupid remark.
“You seem loyal to Malone, but do you know that he’s aligned with the Tulcan Empire?”
The kid right in front of you.
No, I should say kid.
Christopher was momentarily stunned as he watched the little boy’s body slowly turn black.
I have never experienced or heard of anything like this.
So I asked the question.
To be exact, I had no choice but to throw it.
“What the heck, you… … What the heck are you?”
Jack’s eyes twitched slightly at Christopher’s question.
But that was only for a moment.
“Enemy, I should say. It may sound strange to say that in this situation, but know this. You will work for me until your bones are dust.”
That was the end.

Christopher could only stare blankly.
The two daggers he was holding in his hand turned to dust with a rustling sound.
Then, I felt something grabbing my throat.
The process of breaking the neck.
I was aware of all of it, but I couldn’t react.
Should I say that it felt like a transcendent being was moving before my eyes?
As his legs naturally gave out and his body leaned toward the floor, Christopher could see.
The rest of the Dark Side members fell one by one.
Kwajik-!
Boom!
Boom-!!
The eerie sound continues.
The moment Christopher’s face hits the floor.
Within a matter of seconds, ten dark-skinned men fell to the ground at the same time.
That was the end.
Christopher realizes too late.
Ah, this is death.
To that man, I and we are all dead.
Thus ended the life of Christopher Schwerin, the leader of the Dark Force.
I thought it was a relatively peaceful death compared to what I had been doing.
Then suddenly, it comes to mind.
‘You will work for me until your bones turn to dust.’
Schwerin did not understand the meaning.
In this way, Schwerin as a human being met his death.

dump-
dump-
Eleven assassins fall.
Then he slowly turned his head.
“……and…….”
That short exclamation from Aveiro.
There were more emotions inside me than I thought.

“… … Is it true that you need time?”
As I nodded, Aveiro opened and closed his mouth like a carp, seemingly at a loss for words.
This may sound like me bragging again, but Aveiro has no idea what kind of power I had in my prime.
Advertisements
In fact, it’s natural that you can’t do it.
Aveiro knows what powers those who ruled the world 400 years ago had, what powers dragons have, what powers lords have, and how half-bloods used their spirits.
And I have no idea why the Master sitting on my shoulder was called the pinnacle of the past.
All Aveiro knows is that in the world today, humans are fighting to solidify their power and the well they are in.
It is limited to that.
What happens when those who use the same language compete?
When the two energies collide, what kind of repercussions occur in the surroundings?
If Aveiro found out about that, wouldn’t his ‘common sense’ be completely destroyed?
I ended up laughing hysterically.
Now let’s go make some money.
* * *
First, the 11 corpses were neatly gathered together and their wounds were treated.
The broken neck was roughly fixed, and the torn flesh was reattached with mana.
So I made all 11 of them into Death Knights.
Of course, I also made a black shackle.
The power of the 12, or rather 12 Death Knights, including Tolisso, was like this.
First of all, the 5th Death Knight is the 9th circle.
7th Death Knight, 8th Circle.
Although it is not mentioned, when 10 circles are engraved on the heart, the body is reunited at that moment.
This is something I experienced firsthand in my previous life, but if you create a half-master with the black shackles, then a reunion will also occur.
It’s nice to have more power, but this is a little different.
Because from the moment I become a half-master, my control starts to suffer a little.
For example, if you tell them to cut their own throat right now, there are cases where they don’t even vomit and cut their throat, but when they become half-masters, instead of cutting their throat, they ask questions like “Why?” or “Why do I have to cut my throat?” more than once or twice.
There’s nothing we can do about it.
When reunited, it means stepping into the realm of superhumans, and the very status of humans changes.
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a half-master or a full-fledged master.
A 9-circle hunting dog that listens well and a hunting dog that talks back to you all the time and asks why?
The comparison is meaningless.
So, in the future, there will be no such thing as a Master in the Death Knights I create.
To put it simply, this is a kind of line that I have set for myself.
If I were to make the Master into a Death Knight, it would mean that there would be a reason for me to do so, and that I would be crossing the line.
To be exact, I’m saying that there’s someone who makes me cross the line.
When I get angry, I don’t care about water or fire.
In any case, with this level of force, it is a tremendous force that can turn the country upside down given the current state of the kingdom.
As I’ve mentioned several times, the Kingdom of Teslan has formed a punitive force comprised of all sorts of powerful people and sent them to the Forest of Demons.

match-!
He applauded and focused the attention of the Death Knights.
“Okay. Your mission is simple. Search and detect. Since you guys are good at moving behind the scenes, you should be good at finding things and such. Right?”
(I will complete whatever my lord tells me to do.)
These are the guys who have become the most loyal of loyal subjects.
“There are two places you should search. The royal castle and Duke Malone’s estate. Search them thoroughly. Malone’s estate is your home ground, so it’ll be easier than the royal castle. And.”
He crossed his legs and took out a piece of paper from his bosom.
“Who among these is good at seeing hidden spaces?”
Tolisso raises his hand.
Seeing that other guys are also looking at Tolisso, it seems that Tolisso is definitely a capable guy in many ways.
I threw the paper I was holding at the guy.
“Tolisso. You are the key to this mission. Find a place where they can store at least several million gold. The rest of you, distract and assist Tolisso so he can focus on that task. And Tolisso.”
(Yes, my lord.)
“Once you find that spot and see the ‘thing’ with your eyes, send a signal to the rest of the group, and when you think everyone is there, tear the paper in half in the middle of the things.”
The paper I gave Tolisso is called a magic scroll to be exact.
The formula written in it is basically ‘teleport’, and the things that can be moved are limited to ‘objects’.
Of course, that object also includes a ‘corpse’.
In other words, as soon as I write, all items within a 10-meter radius are moved to the basement storage of the villa I’m staying in, so it’s a perfect theft if I just find it.
And he added this slyly:
If you can’t seem to find it, just rip the scroll from the center of the royal warehouse.
After all this work, you still can’t find the money for the civil war?
Then there’s nothing we can do.
I’ve paid my hard work and labor costs, so I have to get something out of it.
I think that way I will feel better.
Of course, I don’t think we’ll be able to find something like the king’s hidden treasury.
People in that position would never hide their treasury in an obvious place like the royal warehouse.
There is a clear difference between your own money and other people’s money.
“And. You and you. And you, come here.”
As I point my finger at Christopher and the two 9-circle Death Knights, they come towards me.
When I whisper something softly in their ears, all three nod their heads at the same time.
I slowly turned my head and extended my hand to Aveiro. As if he had been waiting, he handed me the two magic scrolls he was holding in his hands.
“Christopher.”
(Yes, my lord.)
He handed the guy two scrolls.
“The first one I gave you was a teleport scroll to Duke Malone’s territory, and the next one was a teleport scroll to the royal palace. Do you know what I mean?”
Advertisements
(Yes, I understand, my lord.)
All preparations are complete.
match-
He said, clapping his hands.
“Okay, then let’s begin.”
(insect!)
* * *
The Death Knight party, including Christopher, first moved to Duke Malone’s territory.
There are three scrolls in total.
Two of them are scrolls that take you to Duke Malone’s estate and castle, and the other one moves everything within a 10 meter radius, including the Death Knight, to the underground storage where Jack is when you find the ‘item’.
Christopher and his party, who arrived at the Duke of Malone’s estate, left their seats as if they had made a promise.
A black hood that covers the entire face and head.
Black eyes shining between them.
And the leather armor that covers the entire body and the wide but quiet stride.
The Death Knights were fast.
Even if they are not human at present, this is still their home ground.
After only an hour, the Death Knights had ransacked every warehouse near the estate.
And then I realized.
It’s not here.
