Episode 247: Usurpation

The word genius is used very commonly today.

Being the smartest in town, getting excellent grades at the academy, or getting ahead with extraordinary skills.

If you show outstanding talent, people around you praise and envy you as a gift from heaven.

As a result, you think about yourself.

He said he was a chosen being with a special talent.

But true genius is different.

They have the talent to surpass others and overwhelm the world, and they influence the world by themselves.

one who reigns on his own.

In the world, such beings are called ‘transcendents’.

Grond was a genius.

He was a common genius who could not rule the world, but he was also a genius who had at least an objective perspective.

‘I cannot rule the world.’

When I was young, while I was living as a mercenary, I realized it.

Although he lowered his standards like that, Grond was aware that his talent and strength were above average.

At least among those around me.

───Grond, why do you… … !

He killed the mercenaries he belonged to. He killed a wealthy client and robbed him of his fortune.

Then, when they moved to another country, no one was able to track them down. With a few knife cuts, he obtained the money he could have saved by living as a mercenary for 10 years.

This was the truth of the world.

Primordial power was the highest concept rather than law and morality.

Since then, Grond has been wandering around in search of an affluent place without outside influence.

Since he could not rule the world, he wanted to become the ruler of a small area.

What he found was Roapra.

‘I like it.’

King of the Underground City.

It was truly utopia.

Having made up his mind, Grond made a name for himself in Loapra.

Then an interested former ruler of Loapra approached and was able to enter Vintert. The process went as intended.

Grodd knew very closely the organization Vintert, how the underworld operated, and human physiology.

to dominate yourself.

───How dare you betray me?!

Years later, Grond decapitated the former ruler.

As far as everyone in the underworld knew, he usurped the throne proudly. And he became the ruler of Loa Fra, the most powerful ever.

Unbridled power, beautiful women, and countless amounts of money.

I walked a brilliant path, including artifacts obtained through the auction house.

Having gained confidence in his successful life, Grond decided to expand his dream a little further. He decided to go to Yangji.

‘Even if the world is too much, I can handle at least one corrupt kingdom.’

A lot of hard work and a lot of money.

In the end, the first prince who borrowed the power of Grond succeeded to the throne. Now just wait and the kingdom is in your hands.

The plan went very smoothly.

Until you target a mage.

* * *

───!

Grond’s consciousness rose.

As I groaned and raised my upper body, my head naturally turned downward.

pop… … pop… … .

A bright red liquid dripped down. It was blood.

Through the helmet, I could see that the entire armor of the insert was greatly damaged. Some of the contorted metal pierced his muscles and stung his organs.

When I checked the wound with my own eyes, the acute pain I had forgotten about in the past grabbed and twisted my nerves.

“Shut up… … !”

Grond stumbled and stood up slowly.

Looking around, a huge crater was reflected in my field of vision. As I raised my eyesight, I saw ice crystals floating in the air, sparkling.

My head went blank, whether it was because of the pain or not.

He had a vague memory of why he was here.

Tuduk. Fighting.

Grond clenched his teeth and headed upwards.

As I climbed on my hands, small pieces of stone tumbled down. The moment I left the crater, a human shadow was cast.

I raised my head at the eerie presence.

Gray hair and transparent walls. Memories that had been forgotten for a while hit my brain.

The culprit who mercilessly trampled on his territory.

“Ah, Sher… … !”

anger and fear.

At this, Grond swung his arms in rage. Instinctive struggle not to acknowledge the rising fear.

The desperate fist struck Verden’s chest.

The attack landed for the first time.

But no screams were heard.

It was a natural result.

There was no way he could pierce Einver’s physical resistance with punches that weren’t even equipped properly.

I didn’t even have to dodge.

Ice claws filled with lightning headed for Grond’s head.

Originally, it was a magic that would not work, but due to , most of the artifact’s functions have already been lost.

Wow!

“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”

The helmet shattered.

A thunderbolt of bitter cold took out one eye.

Verden reached out his left hand toward the screaming Grond.

Wow!

Grond rolled on the floor at the shockwave of magical power.

Due to his tenacious and strong body, he was able to avoid an instant death, but a fatal wound was unavoidable.

Muscles were destroyed and nerves were twisted.

A shattering moan escaped from his mouth.

Verden trampled on Grond’s back.

Gravity, which was getting heavy, began to put pressure on the whole body. It was similar to Grond’s stepping on Meradon, a member of the Royal Guard.

For Verden, Grond was the underdog.

“Sah, save me… … !”

He threw away his pride and begged for his life.

It was an ugly figure for a king of the underworld, but it was natural if it was natural.

Because what life instinctively values ​​most is none other than your own life.

“… … .”

A cool silence lingers.

Grond urgently continued.

“Yes, what do you want? money? authority? female? I’ll give you everything if you wish No, I will give you Vintert, the throne of Loapra!”

“be not interested in.”

“Not only Roapra! If you obtain the seat of power and I will assist you, you will have the kingdom of Estyria in your hands! And if you want to, you can swallow other countries too———”

Persuasion doesn’t work

Death is getting clearer every minute.

Grond quickly shook his head and shouted again.

“Well, in that case, Leonil! Leonil is targeting you, a unique character… … ! I, if I help you, it will be easier to kill!”

Grond gave himself a value.

He preached about the benefits of not killing yourself. It was a desperate struggle to somehow get out of the immediate crisis.

That was all.

Magical power overflows within the walls.

telekinesis. Grond’s magic sword that had fallen nearby came into Verden’s hand. Light weight that is different from what it looks like.

Grond’s mouth fell open.

“Asher!”

Verden waved his arm without hesitation.

Chow ah!

The blade cut through his throat.

Compared to a professional swordsman, the swordsmanship was lacking, but it was sharp enough for the incapacitated Grond.

Fresh blood splattered along the trail of the sword.

Took.

His hands were limp and limp.

There was no plausible advice. The sense of pain and consciousness flew away at once without a chance to resist.

His face was reflected in a puddle of blood that began to pool on the floor.

Grond still had his eyes open. As if he were denying his own death.

Grond Vale di Validas.

The end met by the king of the underworld was no different from those he had killed.

“Whoa.”

Verden exhaled.

It was a more disappointing opponent than I expected, but it was a beneficial experience. The opportunity to battle with the owner of the artifact was rare.

After coming to Roapra, he consumed a lot of mana.

In particular, destroying an artifact head-on was quite a hassle. I felt fatigue in my body and magic circuit.

‘still… … .’

Verden looked at the demonic sword, Cedence.

Next to the crater, there were floaties spread out on the floor.

Although the insert’s full body armor was damaged, it was like two artifacts came in through the vines. The value was too high to be called side income.

‘I can’t recall the use.’

Well, it doesn’t matter.

Verden was internally satisfied with the result.

At that time, I felt a presence in the distance.

Verden turned his head to the side.

I saw four people over the collapsed wall.

The bloodied Galiak giggled helplessly as he looked at Verden, and the three people belonging to Vintert looked at each other in astonishment.

‘It’s a familiar face.’

I met eyes with Robert.

“… … !”

Robert flinched at the glare in his gaze.

A presence that was markedly different from the wizard she knew, Asher, swept over her.

gulp.

Robert swallowed.

Perhaps it was because she had witnessed Grond’s death by chance, but for a moment it seemed as if an invisible blade was right in front of her eyes.

The nape is cold.

Cold sweat broke out.

Involuntarily, his fingertips trembled.

‘No, I need to wake up.’

You have to think rationally as much as possible.

It’s not just panic, but the more times like this, the more sure.

How can I get away from here?

How should I cope to survive here?

While I was trying to find a way to live, I suddenly remembered Reniden’s words. At the same time, his intuition also whispered.

Judgment came soon.

Robert approached Verden with a determined expression.

jerk, jerk.

The sound of footsteps lingers in the stillness.

Among the heads of Vintert, Robert is the weakest.

Even so, Gail and Draken were surprised by the courage to move calmly in such a situation.

There was even an indescribable respect.

“… … .”

Then she stopped.

A distance of less than thirty steps from Verden.

After silence, Robert finally moved.

dump.

“Meet the new king of the underworld.”

A rational choice based on reason.

Robert, who does not want to die, welcomes the new ruler.

* * *

Ethnoren, the capital of Estria, was silent.

At the time the civil war was in progress, it was a different kind of silence from the chilly atmosphere. Everyone was preparing for the new era of kings.

It was decided that the next throne should belong to the first prince, Balugna.

It was a natural result since all the candidates who could compete were dead.

The right of succession to the throne directly recognized by the current king of Estira.

2 Even though the queen died, he did not even show any reaction. He didn’t even care what was going on.

After that, Valrgna started to manage the image.

First of all, he gave his condolences to the deaths of 2nd Prince Rotnil and 3rd Prince Evers, which ended in suicide, and held a grand funeral.

“His Highness Valrgna, long live!”

“To think that such a caring prince would ascend the throne. A great congratulations to the kingdom of Estyria!”

Many citizens praised Balugna.

The reason was simple. It was well known that the cause of the civil war was entirely the responsibility of the second prince. And it is said that the cause of his suicide was his refusal to accept the outcome of the civil war.

1 Prince’s secret society.

Manipulated public opinion has narrowed public view.

Anyone who knew Balugna’s personality, or anyone familiar with the Estyrian royal family, would not have believed the rumors of the world.

The public was busy watching only the exposed parts and going crazy.

“It’s the same as before and now.”

A tower on the outskirts of Ethnoren.

Inside the prison-like room, the first princess, Silis, looked down at the royal capital and sneered. Contempt and hatred lingered in the platinum eyes.

But it soon subsided.

Things are going very smoothly.

As planned, Prince 1 won and the Duke of Devon died in the course of the civil war.

I wanted to kill myself if possible, but… … I’ll have to be content with having an indirect effect on his death.

‘The coronation ceremony will begin soon.’

The long-awaited moment is coming.

Estyrian royal family, nobility, citizens.

The very day when the ignorant who were involved in ‘the death of the mother’ and enjoyed the days of peace and happiness using the death as food, gather.

Living as a doll, she will undoubtedly reveal the emotions she had to bury in her heart for decades.

“Whoa… … .”

You have to be patient until then.

Because it can interfere with the completion of the stage.

“… … ?”

At that time, someone interfered with Sillis’ mind.

There is only one person capable of this. I quietly closed my eyes and focused on myself.

As I relaxed my mind, I heard a voice.

───Your Highness Sillis.

───Tell me, Lorian.

Closest friend, Lorian.

He was a sorcerer with a special trait of telepathy, and one of the avengers who suffered the same pain as Silis.

───That’s… … Loafra has a problem.

Loafra?

Silis narrowed her brows.

It’s a problem in the dark… … Could it be that Grond had even gone outside? It was the only predictable variable.

Silis tilted her head and asked.

───What kind of problem is it?

───The king of the underworld is dead.

… … what?
