Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 39

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 39

Episode 39 Cleaning Up (2)

Damian returned to the duchy with his knights.

Upon arrival, Damien confronted the duke with Sebastian Vincenzo.

The two men explained to the Duke in detail what they had experienced.

“… … “How dare a warlock do such a thing?”

The duke’s face turned red and blue.

“Sir Sebastian, thank you so much for protecting the knights without sparing your life.”

The Duke said, holding Sebastian’s hand tightly. Sebastian was so moved that he didn’t know what to do.

“no. “I just did the obvious thing.”

“How many people are unable to do that obvious thing?”

The Duke repeatedly praised Sebastian. He seemed to have made up for all the mistakes he made during his duel with writer Hu this one time.

“I cannot thank you enough, Sir Damian. “Thanks to you, my face has been restored.”

If the attack by the warlock had not been enough and even the knights had died, the prestige of the dukedom would have fallen to the ground.

However, thanks to Damian, he was able to not only protect the knights, but also slay the evil beasts.

It was a fortunate thing for the duke.

“Sir Damian, could you please stay at the duchy for a while? “The church may decide to investigate this situation intensively.”

The duke said with an apologetic look on his face.

Even as a duke, he had no choice but to be careful when dealing with the religious order.

The dukedom was already deeply associated with black magic due to the Chelsea Gold Fixie.

Although he was in the position of a victim, if he was unlucky, the entire family might be interrogated on charges of heresy.

“Aren’t you the only one who has dealt directly with a warlock? “Even if it’s annoying, please deal with the church.”

“Well, let’s do it.”

In fact, Damian wanted to go back to his hometown right now.

However, with this incident, I may be in debt to the duke again. It was worth the time spent.

“Thank you. thank you so much!”

In this way, Damian became the duke’s guest once again.

The church did not come to Damian Haxen right away.

Investigators were dispatched to thoroughly examine the battle scene and then came to meet Damian Haxen.

It was two days later that Damian Haxen saw the Inquisitor in person.

“… … Huh?”

And as soon as I saw the Heretic Questioner’s face, I was very surprised.

Because it was a face I knew well.

“Damian Haxen, it’s been a while.”

Agnes.

The Holy Knight, one of Cheongyeom’s greatest disciples and who had lost his face due to the Black Snake incident, was in front of him.

“Agnes, what are you doing here? “Didn’t you say you were going to the church headquarters?”

“I volunteered after hearing about Damian and the duke.”

As always, Agnes’ expression was very stiff.

But their eyes were full of joy.

“Let’s sit down and talk first.”

Agnes offered Damian a chair. He even poured tea himself.

It was a very friendly atmosphere, considering that I was dealing alone with the Heretic Questioner, who was well-known for being cruel.

“Damian Haxen seems to have a very close relationship with the warlock.”

Damien smiled strangely at Agnes’ joke.

As she said, it was a truly tough relationship. She was very sick of it.

“Did you find out where the warlocks belonged before killing them?”

“I haven’t heard that far. “I think he may be an independent, as his skills were not that great.”

Damian hid that the warlocks he killed were Yuran.

It would have been difficult if too much information had been revealed and it was revealed that those two people were Yuran’s leader and vice-leader.

With Damian’s well-known skills, he couldn’t beat those two people.

“okay… … .”

A look of regret flashed across Agnes’ face.

“You seem disappointed.”

“Oh, did it show a lot?”

Agnes said with a short sigh.

“Actually, I’m chasing Yu Lan. “To be exact, we are chasing a certain warlock belonging to Yuran.”

“May I ask who that is?”

Agnes nodded to Damien’s question.

“This is a warlock named Corpse Noreum.”

Damian’s eyes widened slightly. Agnes smiled bitterly as she saw the change in Damien’s expression.

“As expected, you know. Well, it’s impossible not to know. “He is a terrible murderer who massacred thousands of people.”

Corpse play.

No one knows the exact name. The strange name ‘Shisi Noreum’ became known through a certain incident.

One day, an incident occurred where a nobleman’s territory turned into a den of the undead overnight.

While the knights were clearing out the undead in the village, they saw a shocking scene in the center of the village.

In the center of the village, the words ‘Corpse Play’ were written in large letters with the corpses and internal organs of the village people.

He killed all the people in his territory simply to make his name known.

However, the reason Damian was surprised was not because of his past as a corpse player.

Corpse Play Delant.

A person who receives Dorgo’s trust and rises to the position of corps commander in the distant future.

With the support of Dorgo, Delant grew into a great warlock and commanded an undead army numbering over hundreds of thousands of people.

And they brutally slaughtered more than ten times as many humans as the undead army.

“If you ever find out about corpse play… … Please tell me.”

Agnes’ eyes were burning with hatred as she said that.

* * *

The investigation time was short.

After Agnes finished the investigation, she sent Damian away.

After Damian left, a paladin entered the interrogation room.

“Agnes, do you really believe what that man says?”

“You’re asking a strange question.”

The paladin looked frustrated at Agnes’ words.

“There are a few things that are suspicious enough to make me believe what that man says.”

The Holy Knight still vividly remembers the shock he received when he first went to the field.

The forest was completely destroyed.

It was evidence that he used advanced black magic that low-level warlocks could not even dream of.

A low class killed a warlock who used such black magic?

And without any injuries?

It made no sense.

“Have you forgotten that black magicians are essentially the illegitimate children of the devil and use black magic beyond their abilities in bizarre ways?”

“But there are degrees. “There has never been a case where a low-level warlock demonstrated such powerful black magic.”

“Wouldn’t they also develop as we develop? That’s why the church is wary of warlocks.”

The paladin spoke as if he was frustrated with Agnes’ words.

“I also heard that that man killed Yuran’s executive. But Agnes, have you forgotten the Inquisitor’s motto?”

Always doubt, keep checking.

Delusion is like a weed, it sprouts suddenly.

“I haven’t forgotten.”

“But why do you so easily believe what that man says?”

“Let me ask you a reverse question. “Did you feel dark magic in the forest?”

When a powerful warlock dies, dark magic accumulates in the area.

This dark magic had to be purified because it caused various problems.

However, this time, the forest where the warlocks died did not contain any dark magic.

“As Damian Haxen said, it is proof that the skills of the warlocks he faced were poor.”

“but… … .”

“More than anything, there is a reason why I believe Damien’s words. Because it is strong.”

The paladin in front of him had just reached the level of low class when compared to an ordinary knight.

That’s why I couldn’t recognize Damian Haxen’s strength.

But Agnes was different. As soon as I saw Damian Haxen, I immediately realized how strong he had become.

Pure magical power that can be felt even when you are nearby.

Well-refined speculation that flows throughout the body.

Only a little over a month had passed, but Damian Haxen had become stronger beyond recognition.

“I guarantee Damian Haxen’s innocence.”

When Agnes said that, the paladin could no longer insist.

* * *

After treating Agnes alone, Damian prepared to return home.

This time, the Duke himself stepped forward and helped Damian.

“Is this really okay?”

The duke asked Damian with a look of complete disbelief.

There were now as many as five carts lined up outside the castle.

The cart was loaded with all kinds of goods.

These were all gifts Damian prepared for his family.

“This is enough.”

The duke not only purchased gifts but also paid generous duel rewards.

Now Damian needed nothing more. I just wanted to go back as soon as possible and see the faces of his family.

“If that’s you, there’s nothing we can do.”

The Duke reluctantly nodded.

“Now it’s really time to say goodbye. “It’s been fun so far.”

“I feel the same way.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

The duke took something out of his fist and held it out.

It was a ring with the duchy’s emblem engraved on it.

“If you go to the business run by the Gold Pixie Duke family and show them this ring, you will be able to use it for free.”

Damian’s mouth opened slightly at those words.

To add a little bit of exaggeration, there was no place in the Apple Kingdom that was impervious to the power of the Gold Pixie family.

The number of businesses run by the Gold Pixie family was enormous.

“It’s a small gift compared to what you’ve done. “If there’s anything you need my strength for, come and talk to me at any time.”

The duke repeated his request.

* * *

“Sister, were you outside again?”

Abel Haxen, the youngest of Viscount Haxen, spoke in a voice full of dissatisfaction.

Louise, who was standing at the entrance of the mansion and looking into the distance, turned her head when she heard Abel’s voice.

“Oh my, Abel. What’s happen?”

“What happened? “My sister suddenly disappeared, so I came to look for her.”

Abel said with a disapproving face.

“Do you think your brother will come just because of this? Just go inside and wait.”

“I’ll go in a little while longer.”

Abel sighed deeply at Louise’s answer.

This is because he knew full well that Louise Haxen’s stubbornness was not normal.

“Are you that worried about your brother?”

“Yes, I wonder if such a delicate child will be able to adapt well to the duchy. “I’m worried.”

For a moment, Abel Haxen almost burst into laughter.

what? Are you soft? How many people went into a city alone and destroyed an organization?

“Isn’t there a lot of knights in the duchy? The knights will be very territorial, so how scary must it be… … .”

Abel recalled the image of Damian Haxen casually defeating Marquis Ryan Bloom’s knights.

No matter how much I thought about it, I was not the kind of person who would be subject to territorial aggression.

“I hope you come back safely… … .”

At that time, Louise’s eyes widened. She shouted, looking into the distance.

“Damian!”

At those words, Abel also looked towards the road. At the edge of the horizon, Damien was riding his horse.

Damien also recognized the two and waved his hand.

“I’m glad you’re safe.”

Louise breathed a sigh of relief. But strange things began to appear behind Damian.

Knights and soldiers armed with armor appeared.

Louise and Abel’s faces hardened when they saw that.

“Oh, Abel, what is that?”

“Well, I don’t know either.”

After that, a series of carts piled with something like a mountain appeared.

Louise and Abel opened their mouths without realizing it.

“Sister, I’m back. Abel, how are you?”

Damian said with a wide smile. The two people asked with puzzled faces.

“D-Damian, what are these people doing?”

“Ah, these are the people who guard me under the orders of His Excellency the Duke.”

“Ho, how?”

Louise gave an expression that she couldn’t understand.

“older brother… … “What are all these carts?”

“You can’t come back empty-handed from a trip, right? “I brought you some presents.”

Abel opened his mouth wide. The amount was too much for her gift.

“Go and bring your father and mother. “I have to show you the gift.”

At Damian’s words, Abel hurriedly entered the mansion.

* * *

“… … .”

“… … .”

Viscount Haxen and his wife came out and were speechless when they saw the gift Damian had brought them.

“Well, the Duke really bought all of this for me… … ?”

“Yes, that happened.”

“You really didn’t steal?”

“Oh, it’s real.”

Viscount Haxen pinched his cheek with his fingers. He rubbed his eyes again and again.

“Stop doing anything weird and come and take a look. I stopped by the dukedom’s bookstore and picked up all the books. We also have the latest books popular in the capital.”

“W-what?”

Viscount Haksen hurriedly ran to the cart. He looked at some of the books piled up in the cart and cheered.

“Hey, this is Madame Delfinel’s new poetry collection! This is Viscount Darak’s new novel! oh my god!”

My father began to look through the books frantically.

Damian left his father alone and told his mother.

“Here is your gift to your mother. Are you disappointed that the furniture at home is old? “I didn’t know what kind of furniture you would like, so I bought all the expensive ones.”

My mother’s face brightened as she approached the cart.

“Oh my, this is furniture made of cedar, right? This is a table made of rosewood. “Oh my, what is happening?”

My mother looked at the furniture and was so happy that she didn’t know what to do.

“Your sister is this way.”

“Did you buy me a present too?”

“of course.”

In his past life, the person who took care of Damian Haxen until the end was his older sister Louise.

That’s why special care was taken with Louise’s gift.

“This is a grand piano handcrafted by master craftsman Berkeley. “His Excellency has given away items he personally owned.”

Louise covered her mouth with both hands.

I knew the name Berkley well because I liked music enough to go to concerts.

He was a legendary craftsman who had 10 years’ worth of musical instrument production reservations fully booked.

“Aaaah! “My little brother!”

Louise ran around, hugging Damian’s neck.

“The soldiers here will help you move it.”

For this purpose, soldiers were deliberately received in abundance.

The soldiers began moving items into the mansion in a neat and organized manner.

Damian looked at that with a happy face.

Then, suddenly, I felt eyes next to me. The youngest brother, Abel Haxen, was looking at Damien.

“Why are you doing that?”

“it’s nothing.”

Abel said with a sullen face.

No matter how I looked at it, it was a face that was nothing.

“Go in and help me carry the luggage.”

“I was already thinking of doing that.”

Abel spoke in a blunt tone. Damien burst into laughter at Abel’s actions.

“Man, do you think I didn’t get your gift?”

Damian opened the subspace and put his hand inside.

Abel was surprised to see that and said.

“Tongue, brother, that’s… … .”

“It’s called subspace. “It’s old, take this.”

Damian took out a bow and threw it. Abel looked like he was wondering what this was.

“Doesn’t Lady Copperhead like bows? So I specifically asked for it.”

The bow Damian gave me was not an ordinary item.

It was a bow made using the horn of a minotaur, which I received at a direct request from Marquis Lionbloom.

“Hello, brother, what you said before you left… … “Did you really mean it?”

“Then it must have been a lie?”

Damian said, patting Abel on the shoulder.

“My younger brother said he wants to get married. “You need to help me.”

“Who, who wants to get married!”

Abel blushed and shouted. Damian asked, making her eyes widen.

“What, were you planning on having fun with Lady Copperhead and ending it?”

“Oh, no, it’s not like that… … !”

Abel waved his hand.

“Well, how else can you give a gift! “Lady Olivia doesn’t know me at all!”

“Don’t worry about that. “Because this guy has a plan.”

“yes?”

Damian explained in response to Abel’s question.

“I heard the news when I was at the Duke’s Office. “They say the Copperheads are planning to hold a joust soon to celebrate Lady Olivia’s birthday.”

A joust is an event where knights compete against each other in various events.

It was such a large event that not only did all the local nobles come to visit, but it was also talked about in other regions.

“Go to the match, give Lady Olivia a bow as a gift, and win her heart as a bonus.”

“yes? Ha, but… … .”

“You’re not planning on refusing, are you? “You even prepared such a precious gift for her sister?”

Abel kept his mouth shut in response to Damian’s threat, which was not a threat.

“Damian, is that true?”

Did you hear their conversation? his father asked, coming closer.

“It’s a joust. “It really is the Count Copperhead family.”

Because the tournament was so large, it cost a huge amount of money.

Although the Copperhead Count family was not as strong as the Gold Pixie Duke family, it was a great noble family in its own right.

So, we can handle such a large event.

“Ah, father!”

Abel gave his father a pleading look. She desperately felt her heart begging to stop Damien.

“That’s good news!”

However, my father was infinitely positive about Damien’s opinion. Abel’s shoulders slumped.

“Are you planning to participate in the tournament too?”

“Yes, I plan to participate and even win as a bonus.”

In fact, Damian wasn’t particularly interested in fame.

It is a tourney held only for the western region. It was too small in Damian’s opinion.

Nevertheless, there were two reasons why Damian decided to participate.

‘In my previous life, the winner of the joust became the son-in-law of Count Copperhead.’

It was a future that must be prevented for Abel’s sake.

‘And the son-in-law became a pretty powerful knight thanks to the winning prize.’

The son-in-law of Count Copperhead will later rise to high class status.

There was a rumor that the winning prize given by Count Copperhead was of great help.

Damian planned to use this opportunity to check the truth of the rumor.

“hmm… … .”

But my father fell asleep, as if he was worried about something.

“If the Copperhead family hosts the event, Sophia will come… … “Are you okay?”

Damian tilted his head in response to his father’s question.

“Who is Sophia?”

“Your ex-fiancee.”

Damian’s eyes widened significantly.
