The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 88
Episode 88: Alexander Apple (2)
After a while, Damian and Oliver Apple moved into the throne room.
The king was already seated. Noble officials had already arrived and taken their seats.
Damian and Oliver Apple stood just below the throne.
Oliver Apple was the Crown Prince, so it was his natural right, and Damian stood next to him as a leader, as he was the Crown Prince’s leader.
“Oliver, are you here?”
The King, who was already sitting on the throne, spoke to Oliver Apple.
“I thought you would be away this time too… … “Today is different.”
Oliver Apple’s mouth softened at the king’s praise. Even if it was a position he didn’t like, he seemed happy to receive praise.
“Since this is an opportunity to discuss your uncle’s exploits, I can’t be left out!”
The words that were forced upon me by Damian were a waste of time.
In any case, the King was greatly satisfied with Oliver Apple’s words.
“His Excellency Alexander is coming in.”
At that time, the official raised his voice and spoke. The King stopped talking to Oliver Apple and straightened his posture.
The same was true for other noble officials. We stopped talking.
Alexander Apple and his knights came in through the wide open door.
Unlike when I saw him at the castle gate, he was not wearing armor, but a neat uniform.
Alexander Apple knelt on one knee before the King. Other knights did the same.
“I have come to wipe out a group of thieves in the south under Your Majesty’s orders.”
Alexander Apple said in a solemn voice. At those words, the noble officials murmured in low voices.
“The people of Baron Godrak’s territory murdered their lord and became a band of thieves, right?”
“Other territories and mercenaries joined in, and our power gradually grew.”
“It was large in scale, but it was difficult to clear it out because it was centered around forest areas.”
“I can’t believe you handled it so neatly. “It is indeed His Excellency Alexander.”
Noble officials were busy praising Alexander Apple’s exploits.
However, as the officials’ praise increased, Oliver Apple’s expression darkened.
“Alexander, wake up.”
Alexander Apple stood up at the king’s words.
“The contribution of calming the nation’s chaos is indescribable.”
“This is too much praise. “I just did what I had to do.”
Alexander Apple spoke in a calm voice. Exclamations came out from all over.
“As expected, it is His Excellency Alexander. “There is no one so devoted and humble to the kingdom.”
“I wonder if His Majesty the King will continue to rely on you.”
The praise from officials increased more and more.
It was then.
“It really compares too much to the crown prince.”
“It would have been nice if His Majesty Oliver had followed along at least half of the time… … .”
Oliver Apple’s name began to be mentioned.
“All he does every day is drink and chase women.”
“Now that you are older, I am worried that I will have to help you gain experience.”
As the whispers increased, Oliver Apple shrugged his shoulders.
“Your Highness, I have one more accomplishment to tell you.”
When the murmur died down, Alexander Apple spoke. The King asked with a curious look on his face.
“What is that?”
“In the process of clearing out bandits, we discovered a historic site in the forest.”
At the mention of a historic site, the officials began to murmur again.
In the distant past, there existed a civilization much more highly developed than today.
Although that civilization has long been extinct, it occasionally reveals its presence through historical sites.
Occasionally, rare items were discovered at historical sites, and some of them were so great that they shook the entire continent.
“I was able to obtain a relic sword while exploring the ruins.”
Relic sword.
It was an ancient weapon that was extremely rarely found in historical sites.
Because they were produced with advanced technology that cannot even be imitated today, they all had powerful abilities.
Until now, many wizards have tried to recreate the relic sword, but not a single one has succeeded.
“Well, is that really true?”
The king asked back in surprise. The relic sword was so powerful that it was classified as a strategic weapon.
If what Alexander Apple said was true, the Apple kingdom had acquired a tremendous weapon.
“That’s right. In addition, I was able to raise my level through the relic sword.”
“Well, your level is getting higher? Well, that means… … Are you saying it’s high class now?”
Alexander Apple nodded. The king’s mouth slowly opened.
“Ha, can you show me?”
“My abilities are low, so I can only demonstrate my high-class abilities when I draw the relic sword.”
Originally, the rule was to surrender all weapons in front of the king. Alexander Apple was now unarmed.
“I’ll allow that as much as I want. “Hurry and bring Sir Alexander’s sword.”
At the king’s order, an attendant brought a sword.
It was a very worn long sword, from the scabbard to the handle. The weight of time was clearly felt.
Alexander Apple drew his sword. Unlike the scabbard, which was old and worn, the sword body was clean and sharp as if it had just been forged.

As soon as he drew his sword, Alexander Apple’s momentum changed dramatically. The people in the room felt as if they had been thrown into the middle of a storm.
Alexander Apple struck the floor with his relic sword. Then, branches made of light began to sprout throughout the room.
Everyone opened their mouths wide at the mysterious sight.
“This is the relic sword I got, Thornwood.”
Everyone looked at the thorn sword with blank faces. Among them was Damien.
‘It’s not an ordinary item. It is level 3 or higher.’
Relic swords were divided into abilities depending on their level. There were levels from 10th grade to 1st grade.
Among them, the level 3 relic sword had the ability to wipe out a large army of over a thousand people when it was used.
‘But something’s strange… … .’
During his time as a Death Knight, Damian saw many relic swords and even dealt with them himself. That’s why he felt uncomfortable.
‘The relic sword raises one’s level?’
The Yumulgeom was just a weapon. I’ve heard that it increases the user’s physical abilities or magical power, but I’ve never heard of it raising the level itself.
‘More than anything, it’s heterogeneous.’
The energy contained within the sword was somehow strange. Damian quietly watched the relic sword with doubt.
Meanwhile, Alexander Apple pulled out the sword he had sheathed. Then all the shining tree branches disappeared.
“… … Amazing! “It’s not enough to have obtained a relic sword, so you’ve reached high-class status!”
The King was greatly surprised and impressed. Other noble officials were equally surprised.
“Wow, that’s really amazing! The fourth high class! “This is Hongbok of the Apple Kingdom!”
“I knew that His Excellency Alexander was a great person, but… … “I never thought I would get this much luck.”
“You are also a pillar of the Apple Kingdom. None other than His Excellency Alexander.”
The nobles were busy praising Alexander Apple.
“But, His Majesty Oliver… … .”
“Your uncle is that great too…” … .”
“It makes me uneasy to see someone like that in charge of the crown prince…” … .”
The more people praised Alexander Apple, the more people criticized Oliver Apple.
As such, Oliver Apple’s expression began to gradually darken.
It wasn’t just about getting dark. I could see the anger building up in his eyes.
‘That’s not good.’
Damian was also a bitch, so he could guess how Oliver Apple was feeling right now.
It was clear that his temper, which had been crooked due to lack of recognition, was becoming even more so.
Things have started to change recently. This only made things worse.
“Alexander, I want to let you rest, but the world won’t let you do that.”
The King gestured. The bureaucrat unfolded the paper and began to read something.
“Recently, odd behavior of orcs has been observed in the eastern region. “It is presumed that a leader individual was probably born.”
At the word “head,” the officials began to murmur again.
“He’s the orc leader. “If it’s true, it’s not normal.”
“The risk varies depending on what type of individual the leader is… … .”
Orcs were unusually monsters whose danger varied depending on the boss.
Normally, no matter how many dozen gathered together, it wasn’t that big of a risk.
However, sometimes, when an individual so unique as to be called a leader is born, the risk increases rapidly.
In the past, when the entity called the Orc Lord was born, the nation had to mobilize all its power.
“Alexander, will you take on this task?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Alexander Apple. It seemed like he thought he would come forward this time too.
But there was someone who spoke out before Alexander Apple.
“He said he would like to entrust that matter to you.”
Everyone looked at Damian Haxen in surprise. Even Oliver Apple did the same.
“D-Sir Damian?”
Oliver Apple asked with a trembling voice. Damian continued his speech, ignoring Oliver Apple.
“Already, you were looking for a way to contribute to the kingdom as crown prince. So he expressed his opinion that he really wants to take on this job.”
The officials responded with admiration to those words.
“I didn’t know you had such amazing thoughts.”
“I heard you’ve been showing a bit of a change lately. “It looks like it’s real this time.”
“Well, although his behavior is a bit bad, he is an intelligent person.”
The officials looked at Oliver Apple with a strange look on their faces.
Oliver Apple’s mood was seen to lift in real time as he received a look of recognition.
Of course, not all officials responded positively.
“There is no way that you, who have no experience whatsoever, can subdue a group of orcs!”
“It is obvious that if we continue like this, the damage will only increase. “I am against it.”
In their opinion, this agenda was too important to simply pass over as something special.
This was when Oliver Apple became discouraged again due to opposition.
“I can guarantee that your abilities are outstanding. Above all, I will accompany you in this orc subjugation.”
The nobles’ reactions changed to Damian’s words.
“If you are Lord Damian… … “Isn’t there an article saying that you were promoted to middle class recently?”
“Even if the rumors about Sir Damian are only half true, subduing the orcs will be easy.”
When Damian announced his intention to participate, things immediately took a positive turn.
Eventually, everyone’s eyes turned to the king. In the end, the person who approved the agenda was the king.
“Oliver.”
Oliver Apple looked up in surprise at the king’s call.
“Yes, yep!”
“The preparation process for this subjugation will not only be very arduous but also dangerous. Will you still accept it?”
Hesitation appeared on Oliver Apple’s face at the King’s question.
“Sir, if you say you can’t do it here, then you really are a coward.”
Damian whispered in a low voice. Oliver Apple looked at Damian with a resentful face.
“What would you like to do?”
Damian lost his cool and asked Oliver Apple. Oliver Apple clenched her fists and shouted.
“I will take care of this!”
So it was decided that the crown prince would go south.
