The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 1
Episode 1. was talented
I had talent.
“You are truly crazy! Get kicked out for causing trouble at a bar? “Do you know how much our family’s honor has been tarnished because of you?”
He had a talent for tarnishing his family’s honor.
My father couldn’t sleep at night because he had to deal with the accident his son had committed.
“older brother! Why on earth did you stab Marquis Ryan Bloom’s son-in-law? “You were dragged away by that dirty bastard to try to solve it somehow!”
He had a talent for trampling on his family’s future.
To avoid Marquis Ryan Bloom’s wrath, my sister had no choice but to marry against her will.
“Damian… … Why on earth did you borrow money using your family’s land as collateral? The place you borrowed money from is the duke’s business. “Not even this mother can help me this time.”
He also had a talent for ruining the family’s wealth.
All of Viscount Haksen’s meager wealth has disappeared into my hands.
“Leave.”
In the end, my father couldn’t stand it anymore and kicked me out.
Even my mother, who usually protected me, kept quiet this time.
My younger brother was happy, saying it should have been like this a long time ago.
“Damian… … “Take this money with you.”
My sister was the only one who cared about me.
Even though she broke up with her beloved fiancé and ruined her own life because of her ugly brother.
“Please be happy.”
That day, for the first time, I learned what guilt and shame were.
I ran out of the house as if I was running away.
* * *
After being kicked out of my family, I wandered around aimlessly.
There was no way that a simpleton who had lived his entire life sucking the blood of his family would have any special talent.
The money I had disappeared in an instant. I had to do anything to avoid starving to death.
Begging was common, and arguments broke out every day.
“Oh, you said you were the master’s master. “You have a very sassy nose.”
“You were so excited because you wanted to get behind it. “Would you like me to fulfill your wish?”
And surprisingly, I was able to discover a new talent.
“My arm… … My arm… … !”
“W-Someone give me a potion…” … “My legs won’t move!”
“Please, please, save me just this once!”
I had a talent for swordsmanship.
I was finally able to realize my talent when I defeated more than ten thugs with a rusty dagger I picked up in a back alley.
During my time in the family, I was so debauched and lazy that I never picked up a sword.
So I didn’t know that I had this talent.
“what? You want to become a mercenary? “Are you going to be okay with that miserable body?”
“… … Huh, contrary to what it looks like, the skill of using a sword is like a ghost.”
“If you have this level of skill, you won’t go anywhere and die. “Congratulations on joining our mercenary group.”
I learned this while working as a mercenary.
The truth is that my talent is much greater than I thought.
I quickly learned any sword technique. He was good at handling not only swords but also other weapons.
“I never thought I would actually beat a knight!”
“If it weren’t for you, we would all be dead!”
“older brother! “I will only trust you from now on!”
I instantly became the ace of a mercenary group.
I wasn’t afraid of any enemies. Even the knight was no match for me.
It wasn’t long before I discovered that my talents were limitless.
In a not so pleasant way.
-Fresh corpses walked in on their own feet!
On a mission we took on without much thought, our mercenary group encountered a lich.
Lich
A warlock who turned himself into an undead to avoid death.
It is said that only the highest level warlocks could become lichs, and that their abilities were beyond their lifetime.
Even the lich that the mercenary group encountered was no ordinary lich.
It was Arclich, known as the pinnacle of lichs.
The mercenary group was all neutralized by Acrich’s black magic.
I was no exception.
-Oh oh? Is there anything this surprising? I can’t believe he possesses such great talent in human subjects. I can’t gauge the limits even with my magical eyes!
Acrich gave all kinds of compliments along with admiration.
-But the development of talent is pitifully insufficient. With this level of talent, you could easily reach the level of a master by swinging a sword just a little.
Acrich, who was observing me again, clapped his hands.
There was a hard sound as there were only bones left in the body.
-Oh, I understand now. The light of the soul was as weak as it could be, and I was rotting away my talents due to my natural laziness!
Acrich accurately pointed out the human being I am.
-Tsk, tsk, how can it be this sad? But don’t worry. From now on, I will let your talents bloom.
After that, hellish times continued.

Acrich did unspeakable terrible things to my body.
Dozens of drugs were administered.
Organs were replaced with those of other creatures, and all kinds of magic tools were even inserted.
When 10 years passed, I was no longer human.
-Finally finished!
Death Knight.
It had become the highest-ranking undead that was born only when a warlock corrupted a knight’s soul.
Acrich gathered all his knowledge and resources to make me a Death Knight.
This situation was not pleasant to me at all. However, it was not a situation where complaints could be expressed.
In the process of transforming into a Death Knight, Acrich completely obliterated my intelligence.
It was to make them into slaves who were only faithful to themselves.
But for some reason, all my reason remained and was not extinguished.
However, I couldn’t move my body as I wanted. I felt like I was trapped inside my own body.
-Now let’s show the world your power.
As soon as he completed me, Acrich started a war with humans.
Amazingly, I single-handedly slaughtered over a thousand soldiers in the first battle.
It was the result of the Death Knight’s powerful body, the enormous amount of dark magic forcibly injected into him, and finally my talent.
-Humans are literally dying like bugs!
Acrich was happy to send me into more battlefields.
I cut, cut, and cut again.
The more I did that, the more rapidly my talent developed.
At some point, I was able to perfectly understand and imitate other people’s swordsmanship just by seeing it once.
Eventually, I reached a point where I could go beyond imitation and create.
I combined all the sword techniques I had acquired into one and created a new sword technique.
From then on I had no opponents.
Many knights were killed by me.
Among them, there was a mercenary king and a sword saint. There was also a person called the best sword of the empire.
No one could stop me.
Even myself.
“Damian! Why are you with Acrich! “What on earth does that look like?”
It was like that when I plunged a knife into the heart of my father whom I met on the battlefield.
“older brother! Why are you doing this! Stop! “Please stop!”
The same thing happened when I cut off my brother’s head.
“Are you alive? But that look… … .”
It was the same when he burned down his family and killed his mother.
“Damian… … “I guess you weren’t happy.”
Even when I attacked Marquis Ryan Bloom, I had no choice but to watch as the skeleton soldiers slaughtered my sister.
-How did it feel to kill the family that kicked you out? I have prepared it especially for you.
Acrich said to me when I came back after killing my entire family.
He knew everything and ordered me to attack Viscount Haxen and Marquess Ryan Bloom.
-Haha, of course you didn’t think anything of it. But I was truly happy. It was a lot of fun to watch.
I have never hated Acrich as much as I did then.
I have never felt more resentful of my talent than at this time.
Nevertheless, I had to keep fighting for Acrich.
And in the end, he succeeded in destroying all the kingdoms as he had hoped.
-at las! The whole world kneels before me!
On the day when the empire that had tenaciously held on finally collapsed, Acrich praised me greatly.
-This is all thanks to you! Without you, this day wouldn’t have come. No, I was the one who found you, so in the end, my contribution is the greatest. Hahaha!
Yes.
In this world, only Acrich accurately recognized my talent.
So the world faced a disaster called me.
But there was something even Acrich didn’t expect.
My talent had already surpassed Acrich’s calculations.
So much so that he regained control of his body that Acrich had stolen from him.
A day to celebrate victory.
My sanity came back.
* * *
It was a scene like hell.
The walls collapsed. All the buildings were destroyed and burned.
Massacres were taking place in the streets.
“Aaaah!”
“Run! “You must never get caught!”
Those being slaughtered were humans.
The blood of the people who originally lived in this castle was being sprinkled.
The ones carrying out the massacre were not humans.
A half-decayed zombie, a meat golem made from chunks of flesh, and a moving bone ogre with only bones remaining.
In addition, numerous undead were killing humans.
“Please save my son!”
“mom! “Mommy!”
Because the undead had no reason, they did not show the slightest mercy.
People were brutally slaughtered.
-Hahaha, ahahaha!
Someone burst out laughing while looking at that scene.
It was a man wearing a luxurious fur coat that seemed out of place in this hell.
No, is it true that it is a man?
Because only bones remained, the exact gender could not be determined.
-Feel so good! very good! It’s exactly what I expected!
The skull clicked against its jaw and continued to laugh.
Since only the skeleton remains, the facial expression is unrecognizable.
But anyone could see that the skeleton was very happy.
-The old saying goes that the longer the wait for revenge, the happier it is. Can you imagine how great the joy I feel now that I have finally accomplished what I resolved to do 500 years ago?
There was no answer.
Then Acrich Dorgo turned and asked again.
-Why is there no answer? Isn’t this body asking?
When Dorgo turned around, there were skeleton soldiers grabbing a middle-aged man.
Hair as bright yellow as a ripe pumpkin and a beard so thick that it reaches down to the chest.
It was the emperor of the empire, Howard Adelite.
Howard Adelite shouted at Dorgo while being captured by the skeleton soldiers.
“Inoom! How dare you kill all of my people! “You’re such a dirty devil that it wouldn’t be enough to end up in this hell!”
The emperor’s curse was of no use to Dorgo now.
On the contrary, it was even sweet.
Dorgo savored the emperor’s anger and then opened his mouth.
-Okay, are you done talking now? Then, we can proceed with the coronation ceremony.
“What nonsense is that! “It’s a coronation ceremony for you!”
-Huh, of course that’s the coronation ceremony for this body. I brought about the unification of the continent for the first time in history. So, wouldn’t it be enough to be called an emperor?
Dorgo burst out laughing.
The emperor closed his eyes tightly.
How far on earth does that undead plan to insult humans?
-Okay then, please bring the yellow crown.
An undead wearing black armor walked out from among the undead legions.
The moment he saw the undead, the emperor couldn’t help but harden his complexion.
Death Knight Damian Haxen.
Countless knights lost their lives to that Death Knight, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were also massacred.
It was only thanks to that Death Knight that Dorgo was able to conquer the continent.
-Oh, the most loyal knight in this body.
Dorgo looked at the Death Knight with eyes full of affection.
-Thanks to you, I was able to get to this position. How on earth should we praise this achievement?
The Death Knight just stood still holding the brass crown.
Dorgo burst into laughter at that sight.
-That was a stupid question. You are a slave to this body. Serving this body is the greatest joy.
This was when Dorgo’s laughter grew louder.
Suddenly, the Death Knight threw the yellow crown behind his head.
Dorgo’s laughter suddenly stopped at the unexpected action.
-huh? What? I have never given such an order… … .
The Death Knight grabbed the great sword he was carrying on his back.
As soon as I took a step, I swung my sword.
Dorgo reflexively used black magic.
A black barrier blocked his path.
However, the Death Knight’s slash tore through the barrier very easily.
At the same time, Dorgo’s body was cut in half.
-What is this… … .
The Death Knight took off his helmet and threw it away. His young face was revealed.
It was unmistakably a human face.
However, due to the effects of being transformed into a Death Knight, his skin was stained gray.
“at las… … “It moves according to my will.”
As the voice flowed from that face, Dorgo couldn’t help but be even more embarrassed.
-Uh, how are you talking? They clearly destroyed all of Izzy, right?
“It just looked like it had been obliterated. I didn’t disappear completely. “I was trapped inside my body, watching everything.”
Death Knight.
No, Damien Haxen picked up Dorgo’s half-torso body.
His face was emotionless, but hatred and anger were burning in his eyes.
Dorgo recognized this and smiled.
-Oh oh… … You seem very angry. I understand. I would have done the same.
Even though it was a dangerous moment, Dorgo was full of composure.
Liches store their souls in a magical storage place called the Life Vessel.
Unless the Life Vessel is destroyed, the Lich will not die.
The same was true for Dorgo, the Acrich.
-In consideration of your merits, I will allow you to vent your anger especially today. Just as long as I find a way to control you again.
Dorgo created several spare bodies.
When his body was destroyed, he planned to immediately transfer his mind to a spare body and then dominate Damian Haxen again.
-Now, act quickly. You can crush this body into powder, you can curse at it… … Wow!
Suddenly, Dorgo spewed out black magic power from his mouth.
It wasn’t just the mouth. Black magical power emanated from her entire body.
The dark magic and soul stored in the Life Vessel were flowing back out.
-No way… … Wow!
Life Vessel was fine.
Nevertheless, Dorgo was dying in real time.
It was something I could never understand.
“I’ve been thinking about a way to kill you for a long time.”
A lich will not die unless the Life Vessel is destroyed.
However, it was impossible to find the Life Vessel under Dorgo’s control.
“I created a sword technique that cuts down your soul just to kill you.”
-Well, there is no way such swordsmanship exists… … .
“Why do you think there won’t be one?”
Damien Haxen said as he tightened his grip on Dorgo’s neck.
“Have you already forgotten who I am? Aren’t you always proud of me! “It’s the greatest masterpiece you’ve ever created!”
Damian Haxen.
His talent, which had grown by devouring countless strongmen, reached the realm of godliness.
If you had a sword, you could do anything.
The word impossible did not apply to him.
– Stop it! Stop this guy right now!
Dorgo was embarrassed and gave an order to the undead army.
Skeleton soldiers and golems rushed at Damian Haxen.
When Damian Haxen swung his greatsword wide, black aurors turned into a tidal wave and attacked the undead army.
The black tidal wave crushed and tore through the legions.
The undead were all swept away without even a single attempt at resistance.
-Oh, no… … .
Dorgo was speechless at the absurd sight.
After becoming an enemy, it touched me deeply.
What a non-standard monster the Death Knight he created was.
Dark magic no longer leaked from Dorgo’s body.
Dorgo could feel it. The fact that death is approaching.
-Save me… … Please… … !
Damian Haxen twitched the corners of his mouth and said.
“Go to hell.”
The light in Dorgo’s skull disappeared. The soul has completely disappeared.
Damian Haxen threw Dorgo’s skull on the floor.
Then they trampled it until it was reduced to powder.
-Whoa!
-Big!
The undead remaining outside the imperial palace began to scream.
When the owner disappeared, it started running wild.
“Shut up.”
Damian Haxen spread black magic and took control of the undead again.
The undead army fell silent in an instant.
As the war dragged on, Dorgo instilled knowledge of dark magic into Damian Haxen.
Because of that, Damien Haxen was the second-best warlock in the Legion after Dorgo.
“Everyone, destroy yourself.”
Under Damian Haxen’s orders, the Legion began to destroy itself.
The undead army, numbering over hundreds of thousands, disappeared in an instant.
“Well, what about you…?” … ?”
The Emperor looked at Damian Haxen with a surprised face.
But Damian Haxen was not interested in him at all.
“… … “It’s finally over.”
Damian Haxen collapsed on the floor.
Despite being undead, a deep sense of fatigue consumed his body.
“No, it’s not over yet.”
Damian Haxen grabbed the blade backwards.
He brought the tip of the knife to his chest.
Beneath this skin lies the power source that turns Damian Haxen into a Death Knight.
Destroying this will result in Damian Haxen’s true death.
“yet… … “There is work left to do.”
The faces of my family came to mind. No smiling face came to mind.
Because he always made his family angry.
“I should apologize. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Damian Haxen plunged the knife into his chest without hesitation.
There was no pain.
Only thick darkness obscured his vision.
and… … .
“Damian?”
A voice came from the darkness.
“Damian, why are you sleeping in a place like this? “Get up quickly.”
It was the voice of the sister I had dreamed of.
Fortunately, I was able to meet my sister before I fell into hell.
“My father is looking for me. You seemed very angry. “What on earth have you done this time?”
It seems like my father was very angry as expected.
I have to go see my father quickly.
So he had to confess all the sins he had committed and ask for forgiveness.
Damian Haxen opened his eyes with determination.
I could see the sun shining brightly and my sister’s face.
“… … uh?”
She looked much younger than the last time I saw her face.
Damian Haxen was so surprised that he told his sister.
“… … “Sister, why are you so young?”
“Oh my, what an uncle all of a sudden. i get it. “Are you doing this so that I can take your side when my father scolds me?”
My sister laughed out loud.
Damian Haxen couldn’t help but make a blank expression as he heard laughter that he hadn’t heard in a long time.
“okay. Just trust this sister. “Then I just need to fix my clothes and come quickly?”
My sister took the first step.
Where my sister was heading, I could see the mansion of Viscount Haksen.
“… … “I must have destroyed the mansion with my own hands, right?”
Damian Haxen looked down at his body.
Unlike when he was a Death Knight, his pale skin with flowing blood was visible.
“… … “What happened to me?”
After a little more time passed, Damian Haxen finally realized.
It means that you have returned to the past.
