Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 79

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 79

Episode 79: Stash (2)

Acrich Dorgo has made many preparations to destroy human society.

By recruiting talented warlocks, they caused chaos throughout the continent, and over a long period of time, they also created a powerful undead army.

With great care and mobilizing all the capabilities he had accumulated over the years, he transformed Damian Haxen into a Death Knight after dozens of procedures.

Besides that, there was another plan that Dorgo thought was important.

It was the restoration of the demon sword Erebos.

Erebos was a magic sword of unknown origin. There were no records left anywhere in the world.

Only the religious order mentioned that if a piece of Erebos is discovered, it must be thoroughly sealed.

However, even those religious orders did not really know what Erebos was.

‘Perhaps Dorgo knew Erebos well. So he must have searched persistently.’

Even during the war of destruction, Dorgo was busy trying to find the pieces of Erebos.

Even Dorgo could not completely restore Erebos.

The Erebos restored by Dorgo was about 70% complete. However, with that alone, Erebos demonstrated tremendous power.

There was even a case where a rural farmer who accidentally obtained a piece of Erebos went on a rampage and killed a high class person.

‘If I hadn’t been recognized by Erebos, I would have died.’

Erebos was not only powerful, but also a difficult magic sword that chose its own master.

At first, Damian was not recognized as the owner. The same was true even if Damian became strong enough to despise the Master Class.

Then, just before fighting the Empire’s First Sword, Erebos finally recognized Damian as his master.

‘It was an incredible battle.’

Considering that the Empire was the strongest on the continent, the Empire’s First Sword was actually the strongest of mankind.

The Empire’s First Sword was a fittingly terrifying monster. Even Damian felt a sense of crisis.

Above all, the Imperial First Sword had the new sword ‘El De’.

One day, El De fell from the sky and had more power than any other weapon in the world. Even the best holy sword made by the church fell far short of the divine sword.

If Damian had not had Erebos, he would have lost his life to the Imperial Sword and El Da.

‘… … Maybe that would have been better. If he had died at the hands of the Empire’s First Sword, Dorgo’s ambition would have been blocked.’

When the Empire’s First Sword lost his life at the hands of Damian, the empire collapsed precipitously.

And Dorgo succeeded in achieving his long-cherished wish of destroying humanity by destroying the empire.

‘How can I say this… … .’

Erebos was too dangerous. However, it could not be destroyed.

The fragments of Erebos could not be destroyed no matter what method was used. What’s worse is that the church also gave an order to seal it instead of destroy it.

‘I guess I’ll have to keep it for now.’

With that in mind, Damian picked up Erebos.

Erebos’ sword hilt and blade turned into smoke and were absorbed into Damian’s body. And a tattoo in the shape of Erebos appeared on his wrist.

“what?”

Damian couldn’t help but be surprised once more. This phenomenon was evidence of recognition by Erebos.

“This can’t be happening…” … .”

During his days as a Death Knight, Damian was rarely recognized by Erebos.

This was despite killing numerous masters and reaching an unrivaled level.

Erebos, who was so picky, easily acknowledged Damian as his master this time.

It was embarrassing, but it wasn’t a bad thing. This means that one of Dorgo’s strongest powers has been taken away.

“Well, I also use black magic. “There’s no reason why you can’t use it because it’s a magic sword.”

The problem was that only the handle remained, so it could not be used as a weapon.

Although there was some blade left, it was too short to be used as a dagger.

“Let’s hang it on the window pole.”

It seemed like it could be used just fine if it was hung on the end of a spear. Then it will be called a magic spear, not a magic sword.

“Miya, let’s go out now.”

Miya nodded at Damian’s words.

* * *

Damian put Miya in the trunk and went out of the hiding place.

“Oh, it’s coming now.”

Juan sat huddled with the mercenaries and waited for Damian.

When he stood up, all the other mercenaries also stood up.

“Has your business been resolved?”

“so so.”

“Thank goodness.”

Juan said with a grin. I didn’t ask any more questions than that. He was the perfect example of a mercenary.

“Where is he?”

“Ah, you mean the woman who likes to kill people? “It’s over there.”

Juan pointed to the base of the tree. Veronica Sanchez was squatting there.

“I’m here.”

Damian moved closer. Veronica Sanchez looked at Damian with a blank face.

“… … “Don’t say hello to me.”

Suddenly, Veronica Sanchez made a strange noise.

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Weak… … I am weak… … I don’t deserve to receive your greeting… … .”

It was the strangest cycle of logic Damian had ever heard.

“Stop talking nonsense and get up. “We have to go back now.”

“Leave me alone… … I am weak and unworthy to accompany you… … .”

At this point, Damien was starting to get a little irritated.

“Are you going to get hit or just go?”

“Just hit it… … The only thing a weak person like me can do is get beaten… … .”

Damian clicked his tongue.

Veronica Sanchez, who was full of energy, was annoying, but Veronica Sanchez, who had no energy, was even more annoying.

“You misunderstand one thing. “You are not weak.”

“lie… … It is a lie… … .”

“The Flesh Golem you faced had the ability to absorb magic power. The more you cut with a knife, the more magical power you lose. “That’s why you were pushed out.”

Veronica Sánchez looked at her with a look on her face as if that had nothing to do with it.

“The reason you lost to that guy was because you didn’t figure out that trait quickly. “You never lost because you were weak.”

To be honest, I didn’t have that much insight, so it was true that I couldn’t deal with even a flash golem.

But now it was important to revive Veronica Sanche’s shattered pride, so she had to endure it.

“The swordsmanship you showed when you killed the thieves was very good. “Even I thought about it over and over again in my head.”

Veronica Sanche’s ears perked up at the continuous praise.

“There’s no way you’re weak with swordsmanship like that. “Once you get used to the undead, you will be able to cut down a flesh golem as easily as you can cut a person.”

“… … really?”

“Yeah, I mean. From now on, don’t just focus on killing people, but try a variety of things.”

This was what Damian had wanted to say all along.

“The scope of swordsmanship is very wide. “It’s a shame that a genius like you only focuses on murder.”

This much was Damian’s sincerity.

Veronica Sánchez was a talented person who Damien recognized.

However, the problem was that his talent was focused solely on killing people.

If you could divert that attention elsewhere, and make it fight for humanity, you would gain enormous power.

“you… … What is your name.”

Veronica Sanchez asked, looking at Damian.

Damian thought for a moment. Originally, Damian kept hiding his identity.

However, if you use a false name now, your relationship with Veronica Sánchez will be completely severed.

“My name is Damian Haxen.”

After much consideration, Damien decided to use his real name. Veronica Sanche’s eyes widened.

“I’ve heard of it… … He won the joust this time… … You were that Damian Haxen… … .”

Veronica Sanche’s expression became hazy.

“The person I wanted to kill the most was you… … “I never thought we would meet like this.”

But for some reason, Veronica Sanche’s reaction was strange.

“Thanks to you, I realized what I was lacking… … After overcoming this, I will be more… … You will become much stronger… … .”

As the words continued, Veronica Sanche’s eyes began to change.

Life spread across the once lethargic eyes. The bright eyes turned dark and squishy.

“Getting lessons from the person I wanted to kill the most… … It’s fate! Heaven gave me a goal! “I’m telling you to kill me right away!”

It was the same as when Veronica Sanchez was stained with flesh. The moment he saw it, Damian had an intuition.

That the object of obsession changed from murder to Damian.

“Is that why you enlightened me? Make me stronger so I can kill you! right?”

“What nonsense… … .”

“okay! I’ll try my best to cut other things too! “I will become stronger than now and challenge you once more!”

Veronica Sanchez said, clenching her fists.

“I will definitely kill you, so watch me!”

* * *

After a brief commotion with Veronica Sánchez, Damian began to descend the mountain range.

“You can go now.”

On the way, Damien decided to free Veronica Sanche.

I figured it would be okay since the object of my obsession had changed from murder to killing Damien.

“Just in case you don’t know, don’t kill people for fun. “Only kill those who attack you.”

“aha! I’m afraid I’ll kill someone else, not you. yes?”

Those words made me feel tired. Veronica Sanchez smiled and shook his hands.

“don’t worry! I only have you! “I will definitely come back to kill you!”

With those words, Veronica Sánchez fled across the mountain range.

“uh… … “Congratulations?”

Juan, who was next to him, said to Damien. Damien glared at Juan.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense and go down.”

“Oh, I understand.”

Going down was faster than going up.

Thanks to their haste, the group was able to arrive at Old Village around sunset.

“This is the money we promised.”

As promised, Damien paid additional gold coins to Juan and the mercenaries.

I originally wanted to give him one more coin, but he gave me two coins.

“This… … There are too many. “Three gold coins per person.”

Damien just laughed at Juan’s words.

Damian was happy to be with the mercenaries while exploring the mountains.

Juan and the mercenary group were just as Damian knew. He was sincere, loyal, and honest.

“Don’t think it’s too much. “This was really important to me.”

“We haven’t done anything… … .”

“Why didn’t you do anything? “Thanks to your excellent role as a guide, the time I spent in the mountains was shortened.”

When Damien continued to persuade Juan to reluctantly accept the gold coin. A wide smile appeared on the faces of the entire mercenary unit.

“And this is additional compensation.”

Damian handed Juan a thick piece of paper. He wrote it in his spare time while climbing the mountain range.

“What is this?”

“It’s mana practice and swordsmanship.”

Embarrassment appeared on Juan’s face.

“Why on earth… … .”

“Looking at them, everyone is learning the Mana Practice.”

At those words, the embarrassment on Juan’s face grew even greater.

“Well, how did you… … .”

“Everyone is using magic power weakly, so how can we not know? But the amount was too small. “He was probably learning an imperfect mana practice technique.”

In his past life, Juan taught his colleagues about the Mana Practice method he knew.

The problem was that the Mana practice was one of the basics that Juan had learned during his time as a knight trainee.

Such low-level mana practice had its limits no matter how much one learned.

In his previous life, Damian was so talented that he was able to defeat the knight using the mana technique that Juan taught him.

“It would be better to throw away what you are learning now and learn that.”

In fact, the Mana practice that Damian gave me was based on what I learned from Juan. So there was no problem at all even if I changed it and learned it.

“… … “Thank you for the favor, but I cannot accept this.”

Juan held out the paper again. It was an attitude full of caution.

It was a wise stance. Mana practice was something that could not be purchased even if you had dozens of gold coins.

There was no way a person sticking it out like this was normal. It was clear that there was a bad plan. It was right to be suspicious.

‘I’m just doing it out of pure favor.’

Damian smiled bitterly. Juan’s wisdom could have turned toxic at some point, but Damian liked them for their unchanging and upright appearance.

“It’s not given for free. “I have one favor to ask of you.”

“ask?”

“First of all, I ask you to keep my identity a secret, and secondly, I ask you to accept one more request.”

“What is identity?”

“I am Damian Haxen, not Victor.”

Juan’s body stiffened at those words. He pointed at Damian with a disbelieving look on his face.

“Not Victor… … Damian Haxen? Could it be that Damian Haxen?”

“That’s Damian Haxen.”

“oh my god… … Then it all makes sense… … That skill, the holy sword… … “As rumored, he was a great genius.”

Juan slapped his cheek with both palms.

“So what is the second request?”

“Do you know about Lake Devon?”

“It’s not the lake in the southern part of the Apple Kingdom. “I heard it’s really big and spacious.”

“If you find a request to investigate a disappearance there, come to Viscount Haksen immediately and let me know.”

In his past life, Damian went to investigate a mercenary group and its disappearance and met Dorgo.

Nevertheless, the reason Damian did not investigate Lake Devon was because the time was not yet right.

Dorgo did not stay in one place but continued to wander. There was no use in her going now.

“In exchange for solving that much of a request, they will give you the Mana Practice… … ?”

“It’s barely that much. “This is the most important request to me.”

Damian said in a serious voice.

Because Damian was not a mercenary, he could not make this request to the mercenary office.

However, it was not possible to entrust it to other mercenaries. It was clear that he would just take the money and forget about it.

But I could trust Juan. That’s because I’m trying to complete the request at all costs.

“I don’t know what’s going on… … “If that is the reason, I will accept it.”

Juan said as he took the paper. Damian smiled in relief.

“Make sure you study hard. “Because it’s so much better than most things.”

Although I made it in a hurry over the course of two days, I was confident in its completeness.

We made it as simple as possible so that it can be learned even without a teacher.

At the same time, its power was not lacking compared to any other weapon technique.

“If you get stuck while learning, come to Haksen Self-Author. “I will help you.”

After saying those last words, Damien parted ways with Juan’s mercenary group.

Now it was time to go home.
