The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 35
Episode 35 Homecoming (1)
The feast lasted all night.
The soldiers were spread out across the plains, heavily intoxicated. Fortunately, the weather was hot so there were no major problems.
As the day dawned, both families began preparing to return.
“Brother, please stop by my family sometime.”
Michael Ryanblum, as if he couldn’t bear to part ways like this, held Damian’s hand and urged him several times.
“You must stop by. You know, right? “Of course.”
“I understand, so just let it go… … .”
Damian could only be released after giving assurances that he would visit.
The procession back to the Duke’s House departed.
* * *
As soon as he returned to the Duke’s house, Damian announced his intention to leave to the Duke.
“You’re going back already?”
The duke asked with his eyes wide open. Damian said, lowering his head.
“I can’t believe I’m leaving so suddenly…” … “We are preparing for the festival, so can you wait until then?”
The duke had no intention of ending the celebration with a feast in the plains.
The idea was to hold a festival and announce it to the whole world. They say that the Gold Pixie Duke family defeated the Marquis.
“I’ve been away for too long. “My family is probably worried, so I want to go back quickly.”
The duke looked at Damian with a regretful expression.
“If that is what you mean, there is nothing we can do. Instead, please wait for today. “You have to choose a knight to escort you.”
“Did you say escort?”
Damian asked with a look on his face as to why he was preparing such a useless thing.
“I know very well that your skills are outstanding. But things are getting a little complicated. Sir Ernst Horwitz has disappeared.”
The duke clicked his tongue briefly and said.
“Is that true?”
“Yeah, I don’t know why it disappeared… … “As you know, Sir Ernst Horwitz was particularly close to the Chelsea Gold Fixie.”
As the Duke said, Ernst Horwitz was on the Chelsea Gold Fixies side.
Chelsea Gold Fixie was not disciplined because he had no idea that he was collaborating with a warlock, and there were many people within the family who did not trust him.
“Maybe Ernst Horwitz will attack the family. “It doesn’t matter to me because Lord Gaol Heimlich is protecting me, but the others don’t.”
The middle class is powerful enough to be classified as a strategic weapon.
A being like that is targeting your family? It could truly be said to be an emergency.
“Maybe they will attack you. “The downfall of the Chelsea Gold Pixies started with you.”
“So you’re planning to assign me an escort?”
“That’s right. It may not be pleasant, but you will be escorted all the way to your hometown.”
Actually, it didn’t matter even if there was no escort. Ernst Horwitz could have coped on his own.
However, Damian was known externally as low-class. I needed to hide my skills.
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Damian decided to accept the duke’s favor.
* * *
The next day, Damien came out through the inner gate.
“Oh, are you here?”
At the inner gate, the Duke was waiting for Damien with Gaol Heimlich.
“Greetings. “These are the people who will protect you.”
The duke said, pointing to those waiting.
Three knights and ten soldiers were waiting.
Damian looked closely at the knights’ faces. Among them, I saw a familiar face.
“hmm? Who is this? “Aren’t you Sir Sebastian Vincenzo?”
Sebastian Vincenzo’s face crumpled when Damian recognized him.
The two could not be said to be very friendly.
On the day of the duel, Sebastian Vincenzo made his own child participate in the duel to keep Damian in check, but was embarrassed.
“The other middle classes are all on missions. “Sir Sebastian is the only one left.”
There was no way the duke was unaware of the conflict between the two.
However, as the situation became critical, it seemed that Sebastian Vincenzo was entrusted with the escort.
“Sir Sebastian, please take good care of Sir Damian.”
“Yes, Your Excellency. “I will protect it even at the cost of my life.”
Sebastian Vincenzo said, putting his fist on his chest.
“Please take care of me on the way there.”
Damian said, holding out his hand.
“… … “Let’s do our best.”
Sebastian Vincenzo held Damian’s hand with a face that said he really hated it but had no choice.
* * *
The duke came out to the outer castle gate and saw Damian Haxen off.
“Your Excellency, why did you send Sir Damian?”
Gaol Heimlich, who was standing next to him, asked.
“You won’t find a knight like Sir Damien anywhere. It’s better to tie it to the family… … .”
“I’ve already thought about it. “I was wondering if there was a way to make Sir Damian a knight of the family.”
During the duel with the marquis, the duke made an unpleasant realization.

The fact was that the duke’s knights were of a much lower standard than the marquis’ knights.
Although he won the duel, it was only possible because of Damian Haxen.
In such a situation, I had no choice but to become desperate for the character of Damian Haxen.
“Damian Haxen probably didn’t know what I was thinking. “If you had wanted to work for me, you would have stayed.”
However, Damian Haxen announced his intention to return home.
It meant that he had no regrets about the dukedom.
“Above all, Damian Haxen is not a man who should be subordinate to anyone else.”
Unlike the duke’s knights, Damian Haxen never once showed the duke a look of respect.
It was just a formality, using honorifics and being polite.
“Only once have I seen eyes like those of Lord Damian Haxen.”
Sword Master.
An absolute being who has thrown off the bonds of mortality and stepped into the realm of immortals.
It was similar to those eyes.
“Will you get caught if you catch a man like that? “That’s why I sent it.”
The duke said with a regretful expression.
“Let’s just go in now. “I have a lot of work to do.”
* * *
The road back to Viscount Haxen was peaceful.
There were three knights and ten armed soldiers. The thieves didn’t even dare to come near.
Moreover, because everyone traveled on horseback, the speed was very fast.
“I guess we’ll have to camp here today.”
The sun began to set before we knew it.
Sebastian Vincenzo stopped the group in the forest.
While the soldiers prepared for camp, the knights lit a bonfire a short distance away and rested.
Damian Haxen also sat on his haunches on a stump near the campfire.
“Lord Damian.”
At that time, Sebastian Vincenzo suddenly called Damian Haxen.
“Thank you for winning the duel.”
Damian Haxen couldn’t help but be puzzled by the unexpected remark.
“That’s it… … “Didn’t my son lose the duel?”
Sebastian Vincenzo continued speaking with an embarrassed expression.
“If I had lost the duel as is, I would not have been able to show my face to Your Excellency. But thanks to you and the knight you trained, I was able to win the duel.”
Sebastian Vincenzo inflicted the duke’s first defeat due to his poor judgment.
If he had been completely defeated in the duel, Sebastian Vincenzo would have heard all kinds of criticism.
“You don’t have to apologize. “I had no intention of helping Sir Sebastian.”
“… … “You have a knack for speaking beautifully.”
Sebastian Vincenzo said, his body trembling.
It was then.
Suddenly Sebastian Vincenzo got up from his seat.
The Duke’s knights looked at Sebastian Vincenzo in surprise.
“It’s no use hiding. “Hurry up and show yourself!”
Sebastian Vincenzo shouted. After a while, someone walked out of the darkness.
It was a man with an ordinary build and wearing a black cape.
As soon as he saw the monster’s face, Sebastian Vincenzo’s face became blank.
“… … Ernst Horwitz.”
Ernst Horwitz said, twisting the corner of his mouth.
“long time no see. Sir Sebastian.”
* * *
“… … “Why are you here?”
After Chelsea Gold Fixie’s death, the missing knight appeared here.
Sebastian Vincenzo said with a wary face.
“There is no special reason. “There’s someone I need to tear to death.”
As he said this, Ernst Horwitz looked at Damian Haxen.
“Damian Haxen, that damn bastard.”
“… … Sir Damien is your guest.”
“And he contributed to the death of Grand Duchess Chelsea.”
Murderous intent flowed from Ernst Horwitz’s eyes.
“Lord Sebastian, I do not intend to spare even a single person involved in the death of Grand Duchess Chelsea.”
“Chelsea Gold Fixie committed suicide. It’s not Sir Damien’s fault… … .”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
Ernst Horwitz shouted loudly.
“How strong the Grand Duchess is! No matter how hard it is, you will persevere! “She would never commit suicide!”
Ernst Horwitz took a deep breath.
“… … It is clear that the Duke killed Grand Duchess Chelsea. “She must have died under harsh interrogation.”
Ernst Horwitz said with a face dripping with life.
“I will never ignore the death of Grand Duchess Chelsea. “I will kill Damian Haxen, I will kill those who interrogated Grand Duchess Chelsea, and finally I will kill the Duke.”
Sebastian Vincenzo looked at Ernst Horwitz with a puzzled expression.
“You are going to murder His Excellency? “You’re really crazy.”
“Yes, you are crazy. “From the day Grand Duchess Chelsea was brutally murdered, I stopped being sane.”
Ernst Horwitz let out a low laugh.
“Lord Sebastian, I won’t go into detail. Leave Damian Haxen behind. Then I will save your life.”
“You sound arrogant. “How dare you save someone?”
Sebastian Vincenzo created magic.
A tremendous energy spread out in all directions. The cries of animals and insects coming from the forest stopped instantly.
“That’s arrogant… … you’re right. Lord Sebastian was stronger than me. So I prepared.”
Ernst Horwitz took off his cloak. Then a bizarre scene was revealed.
A black magic circle was engraved on Ernst Horwitz’s body. There were pitch black magic stones embedded in various parts of the magic circle.
That wasn’t all. Although it was hard to see because it was covered with tattoos, there were traces of surgery all over her body.
Sebastian Vincenzo saw this and said in astonishment.
“Could it be that you have dabbled in black magic?”
“Yes, I didn’t think I could handle the duchy by myself, so I got some help.”
Ernst Horwitz’s mouth twitched.
“Guillaume Blackwing. He had the same procedure he had. “In return for consuming my life force, I gained vast amounts of magical power and physical abilities.”
Ernst Horwitz created magic.
Black magic soared high into the sky like a geyser erupting.
The surrounding trees shook violently due to the enormous amount of magical power.
“Open your eyes and look carefully. “What power I have gained!”
Ernst Horwitz kicked the ground. He threw out his spear at the same time.
Sebastian Vincenzo quickly raised his sword and blocked the window.
The moment the spear and sword collided, Sebastian’s body was pushed back.
“Ugh?”
Sebastian Vincenzo put his strength into both legs. His pushed body barely stopped.
Sebastian Vincenzo looked down at his hands with an expression of disbelief.
It only crashed once and my palm was torn.
It was shocking speed and power.
“why? surprised? “Do you think something is wrong?”
Ernst Horwitz shouted with a face full of joy.
“You should have listened to my warning! “I said I wouldn’t kill you if you leave Damian Haxen alone!”
Ernst Horwitz shouted loudly and threw out his spear.
A bright red aura like living blood was released from the spear blade. The aurors became a storm and attacked Sebastian Vincenzo.
Sebastian Vincenzo hurriedly left the place. All the trees and rocks behind him were torn apart.
Sebastian Vincenzo looked at the spot where the Auror had passed.
Part of the forest had turned into a plain.
Sebastian Horwitz’s face hardened when he saw that scene.
“What are you looking at! Everyone run away!”
The Duke’s knights hesitated at Sebastian’s words. I was hesitating whether to follow orders or help Sebastian.
“You stupid bastards! Even if you guys are there, it won’t help! So, go to the Duke’s house and ask for help!”
Sebastian Vincenzo screamed. Still, the knights were not having an easy time making a decision.
“All right! “I’ll call someone to help you, so just hang in there!”
At that time, Damian Haxen shouted.
Damian Haxen turned and ran away. Only then did the other knights leave, like Damian Haxen.
Damian Haxen and the knights moved away. Ernst Horwitz sneered at that sight and said.
“Do you really think you can stop me?”
Sebastian Vincenzo said, twitching the corner of his mouth.
“Who said they would stop it? “I plan to kill you right here.”
“Oh, you have amazing confidence. I decided to think about whether that would be possible… … “Do you really think I came here alone?”
Sebastian Vincenzo’s eyes widened at those words.
“You… … no way… … .”
“Warlocks are waiting nearby. Damian Haxen won’t get far.”
Anger appeared on Sebastian Vincenzo’s face.
“Yes you bastard!”
Sebastian Vincenzo lunged at Ernst Horwitz.
Two middle classes collided in the forest as darkness began to fall.
