Dear readers, with this chapter we close the first arc of the volume, as we will also reach the halfway point with the interlude that follows. As you can see, I have left aside the R18 to focus on the development of the plot and characters, since you have complained that you find it boring or irrelevant and you prefer to watch the story (Ah, but if it were a chapter of Barbara or Lecia dedicated only to them, then you would want to watch it even if they are sleeping, wouldn't you).
The night before Rei returned home. Rogue had drunk too much and was brought to his room. He was dreaming, a nightmare he was having. In that nightmare, he remembered an incident from twenty years ago. It was a war that was fought between a country and the kingdom. The kingdom was winning, until an unimaginable threat arrived. A tall man, about eight feet tall. In red armor with two shields on his shoulders and a huge sword which he swung as if it were nothing. The emblem of the empire was engraved on that shield. A Brune knight shouted. "I-It can't be..." "It's him..." "One of the four sword saints of the empire." "Clementine Davernoch! The mobile defense!" The empire agreed to a hefty payment from the enemy country to lend them the available sword saint for one day. Clementine was one of the four sword saints from Agastia Empire. He was known as the strongest of all in defense. He used two shields that turned him into a tank, added to his monstrous strength he could
Someone once found a drowned child in the pond at home. The child was playing unsupervised. He had been submerged there for an hour until he was found. On another occasion, a young man was shot in the head by mistake by his brother. The young man was the heir, it was not uncommon for this "incident" to be maliciously caused. But this was not the only case. While riding on horseback, a bear attacked him and his knights. Another was poisoned on his birthday, while sleeping he was suffocated and the last of them was stabbed by his own wife. All these tragedies happened to the same person. It is impossible for someone to come out of this alive, but he did. That person survived all these experiences and is currently eating his breakfast in peace and quiet. That man was Klyde. For Klyde, life always tried to kill him, he managed to escape by a miracle, six miracles he got. He even recruited six assassins sent after his life by his relatives, he called them the Six Fingers. Klyd
Dear readers, the day I had told you so much about has arrived. The big surprise, I don't want to say any more. Just that you enjoy it and that we are entering the final stretch of the volume. _____________ The next morning something unexpected happened. Rei took Ange-chan for a walk. After she got up, they went to have a bunch of pancakes for breakfast. After that they went horseback riding. Then they went beetle catching. It wasn't just today, this went on for quite a while. About a week. I kept asking Rei why he was doing this, but he wouldn't answer me. Now the two of them were eating ice cream again. Ange-chan was looking at her ice cream with a lost look. Rei asked her. "Is something wrong?" She was quiet and then asked him something disturbing. "Rei onii-chan. why are you being so nice to me for a while now?" "...Is it necessary for me to answer?" "Yes." Rei was thoughtful before answering. "I'm going to kill your dad tomorrow." "...!" Both Ange-chan and I
"The first time I died, I was in a dark place." "There was nothing, just darkness." "I cried for help, I begged for rescue." "No one came to help me." "But at that moment... a warm light came right at me." "It was a dark light from which a woman in a black dress and skeleton-like appearance greeted me." "She said 'Your time has not come, but you are not someone normal either. I will not allow you to die until you have achieved your goal. Go on living and experiencing a life of joy to achieve your desire, I wish to see you one day and that you have achieved it'." "That's what she said." Klyde was telling strange things to the official who was taking down everything he said. He couldn't believe it. (This guy... he's completely insane!) He couldn't believe his ears. The official said. "Hey, we have to inform the king that this guy is crazy. I don't know if we can condemn someone in such a deranged state of mind." Despite the official saying that, Klyde didn't stop. "I knew
The battle between Kurono and Regnas was about to begin. Regnas was very angry with Kurono, killed his men, destroyed his plan and now pulverized his favorite sword. He had many motives to kill them. But he was a barbarian. Someone who was born in a hostile territory make children fight against huge monsters. If the child survives, it becomes a warrior. But if doesn't survive, it's just manure. Such were their laws. Regnas grew up as the second strongest, always surpassed by the current king who disappeared. He doesn't know what happened to him, but he was thankful he was gone. Now he has a free way to do his own thing. Regnas joined the cult to gain power, he was blessed with the name Berserk. After remembering his reasons for being here, he marched straight to Kurono. "I'll kill you quickly to make sure to accomplish at least me with the mission!" Kurono thought as he saw him coming. (Come to think of it. How should I deal with this guy?) (I don't know what kind of str
In the hall of ministers were the king and queen. They were scared, they heard that a monster came out from under the palace and is coming up screaming that it wants their heads. They could run away, but they had no idea if it might have allies waiting in hiding. Thanks to a servant shouting that Sieghart had arrived, they felt safe. But the queen looked at a certain person with a bad expression. "My dear, is Sieghart sure about not coming to defend us?" The king who understood why she said so answered her. "Olga, we need Sieg to take care of defeating the intruders. That's why you sent him to protect us in the meantime." "I understand that, but... him?" Said the queen pointing her nose at Bret who stood in the center of the place. Bret thought as he looked at the door and a booger ran down his nose. (Why does this always happen to me?) (For some reason they get me involved in something I can't handle and now that I thought I would be calm at the border they drag me to this
Rei's plan to defeat Klyde's clones was simple. They would have the six copies fall into the water fountain, Sieghart is the one who would be in charge of grouping them, Darius would throw them with his spear and Rei would arrange for the water to wet them all and thus use a necessary skill to defeat them. It was dangerous because they could die. It was ridiculous because nothing was guaranteed to work. But for Rei, this was the only plan he could think of. Thanks to the past events of his fight against Calvin, Rei understood that sometimes his powers won't work to defeat impossible enemies. Sometimes it will be necessary to ask for help and rely on others. Unlike the past, where the first person he trusted was the one who taught him how to use the sword, and then betrayed him with the knowledge that he sold children, including a little Eli, he was filled with pure hatred for liars. Rei did not trust people because they lied, it was as if a part of him was still a child. But n
After ending the chaos with what happened to Klyde, the servants, knights and ministers proceeded to search for wounded. The deceased would be given a burial and their families would be rewarded for their brave sacrifice. As Rei searched for injured people, he encountered someone unexpected. "Max!" He found his cousin trying to run away. He turned around and saw Rei. He ran out after seeing him, Rei went after him, after grabbing him, he choked him. "You... do you have any idea the trouble you've gotten yourself into?" "They're treating you as his accomplice! They're going to execute you if they find you." "... Fault." "...?" Rei heard a small murmur, Max lifted his face and looked at his cousin with a hate-filled gaze. "It's all your fault!" 'If you hadn't ruined my future! The duke's title that belonged to me! I wouldn't have gone near that guy!" "It's your fault it ended up like this!" *Punch* Rei slapped Max's cheek. He looked at him with a nasty expression. "I'll
