"He's here..." Alex mumbled as he sat in front of the large rock with flowers on it."Those bastards..." Gritting his teeth, Clad's face turns sour. He did not even think that he would be back and this is what he will see. 'If only I came back sooner. Then maybe...' Turning his back, Alex didn't notice how tears started to fall in Clad's eyes. But even with him not looking, he manages to make the soil glow. "Brother Clad?" "How sloppy. It is not suited for him to have a tomb like that." And manipulating the ground, even with his mana running out, he did his best to make it decent and presentable. "Now, even a raging storm can't do anything to him." He fell to his knees, his hand holding his sword to not let him completely fall. Using such great power surely is a big drain on his powers. 'I did all of that, yet my power is still like this... Hah... How can I kill those Voneveirs with this body of mine?! ' A gush of wind suddenly came, as if a whisper was sent to Clad. 'Never
They say that when the sun is out, the moon will rise. The night will come as soon as the light is gone. The sky will be full of thousands of dots. Varies of colors with glimmering lights. But when the sun is nowhere to be found, that is when the monsters will go around. That is when their fangs will show as they open their mouth. “One bottle of rum, here you go! ” The tavern is full of people. Most of them are adventurers who just got back from doing their commissions. Having a small stay in this small yet cozy tavern has become part of their everyday habit as soon as the moon shows up. “Hahh, this tastes so good! ” “Cheers!” "HAHAAHAH, AND I SMASH IT IN ONE GO! BOOSH, HAH, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD KILL A BUNCH OF SLIMES IN AN INSTANT. IT WAS TOO ANNOYING." “Now that you mentioned it, it feels like the forest is getting weird.” "YOU, SCARDY CAT!!” Cups of their drinks can be heard clashing down the table. Although it wasn’t in the form of taking out their anger, they all know t
All people are born kind, and they just grew up being bad. That is one of the things that Allan will never forget. After all, it came from his dear mother whom he loves so much. But on a cold night, with his eyes just staring at the ceiling, it’s been so long since he changed into his nightgown for him to rest. ‘I have to sleep, yet here I am. Still wide awake’ Brushing away those thoughts, he changed his position. Silence. Even with him finding the most comfortable position he could ever have just for him to fall asleep, it was all in vain. “Hah” Finally, he gave up on doing so. After all, he would just be wasting his time rolling around as he couldn’t find the right place to sleep. “Tch, this is all that damn man’s fault! ” Standing up, he picks up the sword that was hanging on top of his bed. It was the same sword that his father used, and it was also the same sword that he used to kill his very own father. “When things are getting messy, all I can think of is that it was y
“Right, that was nice. At least you have a decent mind for things as such.” Clad mumbled as he watched Alex build up his mana. It’s been a week since that incident happened. As much as he wanted to, he wanted to be back in that palace to crush that king as well as those who were involved in the matter. But his mana is not enough for him to let him. After causing a big ruckus over what happened last time, he can’t help but admit the fact that he did cause great chaos in that land. But all of it is not enough. It isn’t even half enough of what he wanted to happen. 'Go. Why don’t you head there now? You can surely kill him if you do that, don't you want to see him be destroyed?’ Shaking his head again, for some reason that voice keeps coming into his head. It wasn’t like that the last time. But it all started when he used that forbidden skill that he stole from the treasury. He knows that none of the elders in his family, not even Conor, will use that scroll. But when things did not
Alex POV How long has it been since I last slept well? Since when was the last time that I didn’t have a nightmare? Even when I am still the king in the past life I remember, there wasn’t a time when I could sleep so calmly. Even if the palace was guarded so well, the whole place itself can't be trusted. After all, as the king, the more power it holds… the greater danger it gives. Letting out a deep sigh as I gaze at the sky above, I care no less about what might happen to me. How funny I think it is… before… I am doing my best to save my kingdom… save my people… but now… I… I don’t know why it falls to this. I did not even wish to see this. I did not wish for all of this to happen… ‘Did you really not?’ Quickly standing up, I was surprised to hear words coming from somewhere. This is so secluded that no other person than me and Brother Clad is here… but… I am not speaking so loud. How come he hears those? And that voice? Is it really Brother Clad? Turning around I tried to look
“Sigrid and Blanche... from five cavalry knight’s captain generals... Only the two of you are left. I assume you are not like those three. Useless fools that can’t even fight two pests! ” In front of the King of Voneveir, King Allan, they are also part of those who planned the beheading of the former king, Alexis. Not saying a single word, they just bowed their heads and waited for the order that Allan would give them. ‘They just got lucky that I am not there. But to think that the two swords of the generals are slain like that, just who the hell are those guys that did that? ’ “Clad, that guy who is the last descendant of the Higgens. Clad Volmar. Connor’s grandson, I knew that one day he would be back to get his revenge, which is why I told you to take his life as soon as possible. This is the result of you neglecting your job! Are you aware of the sin you have committed? ” Slamming the table, Allan was mad. He is so mad that his head is a shade of red. But the two generals remai
"Cielo, be safe, you idiot." Ranz mumbled as soon as he got the gold coins, based on their plan. Indeed, Cielo succeeded in their plan. But he is still worried about whether he will succeed in getting out of that. For sure, his life is in danger as Ranz is heading to church. ‘To give a bounty payment in the guise of offerings just to save his sister... I didn’t know that Cielo would really do that. I am sure that that Alex guy is someone he knew, but to do that just for this... Cielo...' He shook his head. He does not really approve of this, but still, that guy is a friend of his. and even if it wasn’t something that can easily be done, even just a little. He wants to help that guy who reached his hand when all the people are scared by even landing a gaze on him. ‘Even if you have ulterior motives for friending me, I know you see me as a friend, even just a little. For you to believe in me... Hah, you idiot... You really are a big idiot, Cielo’ … In times when death is in front o
“Hah, to think that you would appear right before me... You really have guts, huh? ” He is afraid. That was certain. To think that the one he was looking for was now in front of him, he did not expect it to be that way. No guards can be seen in the vicinity as the only thing around them is the surface of the dungeon. “You surely are one hell of a guy, Clad.” ‘Just how powerful can he be to be able to do this? Why…. Why, of all people? He is not even a royal! That father of mine, it would be a convenience if he just left even a useful power, but he gave me none other than this hellish life! ’ Cursing, his inferiority complex again appeared before him. His nerves made him feel weak. His body can’t even stand up properly. Allan knows too well that this might be the end of his life. “And so are you, Allan.” “What did you do to those two? I am sure Blance and Sigrid were there. Did you perhaps kill them as well? ” A small smirk then crept on his lips as he heard what Allan asked. But
