The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 42
Episode 42: Different Dreams (3)
Three days later, the carriage carrying Damian arrived in Copperhead County.
The place where the joust was held was a large plain near Copperhead Castle.
There was a temporary stadium for jousting and tents set up for guests to stay.
‘I must have spent a lot of money.’
The temporary stadium built with a wooden fence was very large.
There were dozens of tents erected to serve as guest accommodations.
“Stop.”
When the carriage arrived at the entrance, a middle-aged man blocked the carriage.
“Where are you from?”
“I came from Viscount Haksen.”
Victor answered quickly.
The middle-aged man began to look at the list in his hand.
Suddenly both eyes widened.
“Surely Sir Damian Haxen is on board?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“There was a lot of disrespect. “My name is Connor and I am the chief butler of the Copperhead family.”
The middle-aged man quickly straightened his posture.
“We will take care of the carriage. Please come this way.”
The servant guided the three people to the tent inside.
“You two can use this place.”
The tent that the servant guided us to was very spacious.
There was a soft carpet on the floor and there were two beds.
“The tent right next to it is for use.”
It even had quarters attached for servants to use.
This could be said to be a great luxury.
“There is a banquet prepared for you in the evening. Until then, you can rest well. If you have any inconvenience, please call me at any time.”
The servant bowed his head and went out.
“This is a very nice accommodation. I can’t believe you gave me a place like this. “Your Excellency, Earl Copperhead, appears to be a generous spender.”
Abel looked around the tent and was impressed.
In contrast, Damian reacted indifferently.
In his previous life, Count Copperhead insulted Abel and laughed at Viscount Haksen.
‘They only treat me well because I’m famous.’
The reason the Count gave such nice accommodations was purely because of Damian’s reputation.
A similar thing happened in my past life.
The mercenary group that Damian was a member of was originally a small, nameless mercenary group, so they were not treated well wherever they went.
There were cases where even if the request was completed, the person was kicked out without receiving a single penny.
However, after Damian became famous through his activities, the whole situation changed 180 degrees.
Then, Damian realized. How powerful is reputation?
“Victor, please take a look around the accommodation. If there is a problem, let me know.”
“yep! All right.”
Victor answered loudly and left the tent.
Abel lay down on the bed. She seemed to be tired from the long carriage ride.
“Take a rest. “I’ll take a look outside and then come back.”
“Yes, I understand… … .”
Suddenly, Abel jumped out of bed.
“I will accompany you too.”
“what? why? “I’m just resting.”
“It’s not possible. “I made a promise to my father.”
“promise?”
“My brother told me to stop him if I think he’s going to cause an accident.”
Damian laughed out loud at Abel’s words.
“accident? What kind of child am I that I would cause an accident? “Don’t worry, just rest.”
“no. “I will accompany you.”
When Abel didn’t back down, Damian clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘Tch, my father has already noticed.’
The reason Damian went out was to check out the competition venue and the knights.
Then, if I met Sophia Russell and her lover along the way, I planned to step on them without delay.
“older brother. “Let’s get out now.”
“… … okay.”
Damian responded in a weak voice.
* * *
Damian walked around with Abel and looked at the articles.
‘Most of them are semi-knights.’
Count Copperhead limited the participants in this joust to young people.
Because of this, most of the participants were only at the level of semi-engineers.
‘It’s rare, but there are also low-class ones.’

One in five people was also seen as low-class.
The fact that he made it to the low class at such a young age meant that he was very talented.
“Brother, look. “It’s a competition venue.”
Abel said, pointing ahead. There was a simple competition hall built by the Count Copperhead family.
Although it was said to be a simple competition venue, it was very spacious and the ground was evenly leveled.
“Will this jousting event be a team event?”
There were several events in the joust.
Some sports involved competing one-on-one, while others involved fighting in groups to select a winner.
In any case, it was recognized as a joust as long as it was conducted with knights mounted on horses.
“Maybe it’s monster hunting.”
It was when Damian was watching the match and talking about various things.
“Wait a minute, isn’t that guy over there Damian Haxen?”
“Hmm? “It looks similar to the portrait I saw last time.”
A group of five or six people approached Damian Haxen.
A stocky physique and a sword at his waist.
It was clear that they were knights who had come to participate in the joust.
“You’re Damian Haxen, right?”
one of the knights asked Damien. Among them, it was the only low class.
“then?”
At Damian’s answer, the knights looked at each other and laughed. It was a smile full of mischief.
“It’s an honor to see the famous Damian Haxen in person.”
“You said you defeated the warlock and won against Marquess Lionbloom’s archduke, right?”
“Those are amazing rumors. “It’s unbelievable.”
The knights began to surround Damian.
“But I heard about your past… … “I heard you were a famous asshole until a few months ago?”
“I heard that he was kicked out for causing trouble at a bar or borrowed a large amount of money using his family’s property as collateral.”
“Isn’t this really a ridiculous rumor? “There’s no way the great Sir Damian could be such a piece of trash.”
There was plenty of ridicule in the knights’ tone of voice and facial expressions.
“But I’ve heard so many rumors like that. “I’d like to take this opportunity to check.”
The knight who spoke first put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
As the only low-class member, he seemed to be the first to take action if force was needed.
‘As expected, these guys appear.’
While rumors spread very quickly, it takes a long time for them to be accepted by people.
Damien, in particular, has built an enormous reputation in a short period of time.
Therefore, Damian expected that there would be people who would like to confirm the truth of the rumors at this tourney.
“It just so happened. “I was already feeling dizzy from sitting in the carriage for a long time.”
Damian Haxen said, stretching his arms.
“Brother, no.”
“What do you mean?”
“You promised your father… … “You won’t get into an accident.”
“But you started an argument over there first, right? “You want me to endure this?”
“that… … but… … .”
Abel sighed and said.
“You must end this as calmly as possible… … .”
“OK. “I won’t kill you.”
“That’s not it… … .”
The driver couldn’t help but frown at the conversation between the two.
“What kind of arrogant thing are you talking about now?” … .”
“You’re really Damian Haxen, right?”
Then, a voice was heard from far away again.
“I came here because it was noisy, and it was real. “I never thought we would meet so soon.”
A young man was walking from afar. Next to the young man was a young woman.
“I’m so glad to meet you like this.”
The young man said with a fierce smile.
* * *
Damian stared at the young man’s face.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember who it was.
“What are you doing, pretending to be friendly to me?”
“What is this guy doing? “It would be a shame to come out like this after getting beaten up by me.”
“Did you get hit?”
Damian tilted his head. Then the woman next to the man spoke.
“Hmph, I guess you were embarrassed about what happened back then, considering you’re a man, right? Yes, it’s no use. “Even if we pretend not to know, we remember everything.”
“Who are you interfering with again?”
Damian frowned.
It was already unpleasant to be ignored by the knights. Even the woman he met for the first time was looking down on him.
“Brother, why are you suddenly acting like this?”
“What do you mean?”
“That woman is Sophia Russell. “The man next to me is Jackson Cutter, my lover.”
Damian’s eyes widened at those words.
Although I had a vague memory of Sophia Russell, I never thought I would recognize her right in front of me.
‘By the way, that’s Jackson Cutter.’
Damian looked at Jackson Cutter.
The bridge of his nose was sharp, and his eyes were clear. He was much more handsome than I expected.
‘This is what Sophia Russell was so into.’
He has good looks and low-class skills.
It was also understandable that Viscount Russell announced the breakup of the engagement with Damien.
“What you looking at? “Are you feeling numb from remembering old times?”
Jackson Cutter said with a sneer. Damian Haxen also smiled.
What is this damn thing saying now?
“… … hey. “What are you doing leaving us behind?”
At that time, the driver who arrived first spoke in a nervous voice.
The driver said, glaring at Jackson Cutter.
“I don’t know who you are, but we found Damian Haxen first. So, just shut up.”
“Are you saying what I’m going to say? Because I also have business with Damian Haxen. “Get out of there.”
“This is a very funny guy.”
The knight came closer to Jackson Cutter, scattering his life.
“There are people like you who have to see blood to come to their senses.”
“Yes, yes, I understand, so just hurry up and attack me.”
“You bastard!”
The driver burst into anger and grabbed Jackson Cutter by the collar.
At that moment, Jackson Cutter struck the knight’s stomach with his fist.
“Wow!”
The knight’s waist bent forward. The knight staggered back. As if that wasn’t enough, I even felt nauseous.
“Lord Berry?”
The knights behind couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Sir Berry was a low-class knight at a high level.
How could a knight at such a level suffer so much with just one punch?
‘The moment it struck, it released magical power.’
Damian saw exactly why Lord Barry was in such pain.
The moment a fist was struck in the abdomen, magical energy was released, causing internal injuries.
‘I never thought I would use such an advanced technique.’
Because knights use aurors, they are accustomed to injecting magical energy into their weapons.
However, magical power had infinite uses.
‘He’s a guy with quite outstanding skills.’
Knowing that kind of technology isn’t enough, so I never thought I’d be able to use it skillfully.
It was proof that Jackson Cutter’s skills were great.
“this guy! How dare you, Lord Berry!”
One of the party members grabbed the hilt of the sword. At that moment, Jackson Cutter’s eyes turned cold.
“It’s up to you to choose… … And then you die?”
The knight’s face turned pale due to Jackson Cutter’s murder.
The knight’s skill level was at best that of a semi-knight.
It was impossible to withstand Jackson Cutter’s life at that level.
“I’ll see you later!”
The knights fled, taking Sir Berry with them.
“I got rid of the things that bothered me… … Now let’s take care of business among ourselves… … what.”
Jackson Cutter looked back at Damian. And his body trembled in embarrassment.
Damian Haxen was looking at his younger brother with a very bright smile.
“older brother… … .”
“Hey, I didn’t start first.”
“that… … but… … .”
Abel sighed deeply.
“If possible… … Please resolve it quietly.”
“Is there any question?”
Damian approached Jackson Cutter and held out his right hand.
“What kind of modification is this?”
“why? “Let’s shake hands.”
Jackson Cutter’s eyes became gloomy.
“good. “There’s nothing I can’t do for you.”
Jackson Cutter held Damian’s hand.
Immediately after that, Jackson Cutter’s body floated in the air.
“… … uh?”
I fell headfirst into the ground without any time to understand the situation.
