The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 91

Suga couldn’t hide his astonishment at Arthur’s changed appearance.

“Three, my God… what is that?”

The appearance of Arthur, who was covered in electric current, was like a single lightning bolt.

That alone is surprising, but the two beings standing next to Arthur were completely out of common sense.

“Advanced… government ordinance?”

A spirit sorcerer who is much more valuable than a 50-year-old wizard.

Among those spiritists, they were high-level spirits that only the best spiritists deal with.

Because of that, when Suga couldn’t close his gaping mouth, Schneiden muttered quietly.

“… It was a monster.”

“Who? me?”

Surprised, Schneiden raised his sword.

At the same time, Arthur rushed forward with a space leap and swung his sword.

bang-!

When sword strikes and thunderbolts met, wild embers flew out.

But it was Arthur who was pushed back.

‘Also black. Even a thunderbolt will just cut it.’

Because of this, there was no choice but to have a gap between those who manifested sword skills and those who did not.

‘It’s not like they’re treated like knights from the point of wearing swordsmanship.’

Arthur jumped up with these words and used the space jump again.

“… … !”

Schneiden’s gaze narrowed as he watched.

‘For magic, for higher spirits… What the hell is this guy?’

After thinking for a moment, Schneider bit his lip.

Amid the chaos, one thing was certain.

You die while being careless.

At that time, Arthur, who used the space jump, appeared behind him without warning.

Kang-!

Thunderbolts and blades collided once again.

Among them, Arthur took out the Beast and held it up.

“f*ck!”

With swear words, Schneider turns his body.

From nob le mt l dot com

No, I was wrong.

[Arthur!]

[Other–!]

Along with the shouts of the two spirits, Schneiden’s body is bound.

Schneidern’s eyes widened at the incident, and the five rings engraved on his chest rotated fiercely.

bang-!!!

With the Beast’s gunshot resounding, his waist was torn in half.

If it wasn’t for the mana suit that wasn’t wrapped in time, the waist would have been cut in two.

Of course, the fact that the waist was torn in half was not a good sign.

“…you son of a b*tch!”

Schneider, who vomited blood, swung his sword.

But the blow was not the same as the first.

The sword skill that was manifested was unstable, and the path of striking down the target was lost.

Arthur lightly dodged his blow and cut off his neck.

Took.

Schneider’s head rolled and disappeared somewhere.

Surprised by the sight, Suga collapsed on the spot.

“hahahaha… ?”

In the meantime, Arthur, who brushed off the blood from the magic sword, grumbled.

“Oh, it’s hard. I almost died.”

“… … .”

Suga, who barely came to his senses, swallowed dry saliva.

‘It’s hard… ? After winning so easily?’

Then Arthur looked away.

Suga, who involuntarily took a step back, murmured.

“… Is it my turn now?”

“Is it Suga’s turn?”

“yes. Aren’t you going to kill me?”

Arthur laughed.

“Why am I killing Suga? They are to be escorted.”

“… … .”

“But I need to explain the situation. Why did you stab Kassel and run away?”

It was at this point that Suga’s lips fluttered.

bang-!

The train shook violently with a huge explosion.

Suga, who lost his balance, fell, and Arthur looked away.

torn ceiling.

From within the ceiling, a man was looking down at me with a very angry expression.

However, the mana swirling around the man’s body was unusual.

“… Wizard?”

The swirling magical power twisted the phenomenon, causing disaster.

‘oh my god… Isn’t that a wizard of at least 80 years?’

From wizards who trained for 50 years, they were called real wizards.

However, the mana overflowing from that man’s body was at least 80 years old.

‘That’s almost a palace mage… Why did such a big man come here?’

While Arthur sticks out his tongue, the man at the center of magic opens his mouth.

“I sent them to kidnap them, but they all died.”

“… … .”

“Are you doing this, mercenary?”

Arthur nodded.

“It’s my job. Who is that?”

“The pirate’s vice-captain. It’s Aaron Pryle.”

Arthur’s eyes widened.

‘When I asked why such a dangerous person came, he was the vice-captain of the pirates.’

The greatest force that divides the back streets of Arcane.

If he was the vice-captain of one of those forces, the pirates, he could understand the power he was seeing.

‘hmm… Then what should I do with this?’

Although borrowing the power of Undine and Gnomes still had a trump card, if that blow failed, it could be really dangerous.

‘Even now, my stamina is in short supply… . This is ambiguous.’

It was when Arthur was licking his lips with his thoughts.

Suga, who was next to him, covered his mouth.

“town-!”

Her eyes widened as she vomited.

At the same time, something poured out of the gap between the hands that covered her mouth.

Surprised Arthur exclaimed while something came out of Suga’s mouth and slowly took shape.

“oh… Mr. Barnes?”

An old man with two heads.

Barance turned his head and replied.

“You did well, mercenary. rest for a while.”

* * *

The balance that escaped from Suga’s mouth slowly flew up.

The pirate’s vice-captain, Aaron Fryle, who was watching the scene, bit his lip.

“… Barans you son of a b*tch.”

Barances giggled.

“It’s not like a pirate. okay… How does it feel to fall into a trap?”

Aaron smiled at his words.

“trap? Do you think you can kill me?”

“What? So you think you can’t kill me?”

“It is truly frightening to see an old man who is dying.”

Barance smiled brightly.

“I’ll give it back to you literally. Young people these days have no up or down. In my time, at least I was polite.”

With these words, Barances snapped his fingers.

At that moment, a door opened in the air, and two men appeared.

Seven Emperor’s personnel.

Five-headed Casillas.

It was the blue of the 7 neck.

After briefly bowing their heads to Barance, they looked at Aaron.

“How nice it is to see it like this without the shavings.”

“Now let’s finish it slowly. If I catch you, Captain Marsius, he won’t last much longer.”

Aaron’s face twisted and he shouted.

“Shut up!! Our captain will never give up!”

With that cry, magic power exploded around Aaron’s body.

bang-!

With that as a signal, the three members of the Seven Emperors and the pirate’s vice-captain collided.

Arthur, who watched the scene from below, stroked his chin.

“Ohh… Did that happen?”

Looking at the conversation flowing in, it seemed that this situation itself was a trap to catch that vice-captain.

‘Suga was actually a bait.’

That said, even this mission is a fake mission.

Suga, who had fainted at that moment, came to his senses.

“Cheer, kuck!”

Arthur turned his gaze and asked Suga, who was drooling.

“are you okay? sugar?”

“… I think I will die.”

“Your father came out of your mouth?”

At these words, Suga trembled.

In response, Arthur was able to notice that Suga was completely unaware of this situation.

‘hmm… Now, all the pictures are coming together, but I don’t know just one thing.’

Between Suga and Barance.

And why did Suga suddenly run away?

It seemed that the current situation would be understood only when these two questions were answered.

Because of that, Arthur healed Suga’s body with Undine’s ability.

“… !”

Surprised, Suga opened his mouth.

This is because the condition of the body, which had felt tremendous heat a moment ago, suddenly returned to normal.

Then Arthur asked.

“Can you explain the situation now? What kind of situation is this?”

Suga slowly raised his head.

His eyes were more blurry than when we first met.

“… If I explain, can you kill me?”

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

“Suddenly? hmm… .”

“… … .”

“I’ll listen to your explanation and kill you if it’s worth it. how is it?’

Suga showed a hesitant expression.

However, he soon nodded and opened his mouth.

“First I have to explain something. I am… .”

The expression of Suga, who was speechless, was bizarrely distorted.

“I am not human. Homunculus, to be exact.”

* * *

At Suga’s explanation, Arthur tilted his head.

‘Homunculus?’

An artificially created human being or doll.

‘So, is Suga-san an artificial human created by Barance?’

Because of that, while Arthur let out a low exclamation, Suga muttered.

“I am Barance… It’s a doll made by that person’s hands.”

Arthur, who came to his senses, asked a question.

“You said Mr. Barance was a wizard who reached that level?”

“… That’s not it. Barance asked, and I was made by someone else.”

“Who is that?”

Suga hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes tightly.

“White beard… The most evil demon and sorcerer in this world. I was born from his hand.”

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

Then he scratched his head and murmured.

“Ugh… There is no place where Mr. Whitebeard does not wear it.”

“… yes?”

“Mr. Whitebeard. Because we met a few times, we have a connection. But he has nowhere to go.”

This time, Suga narrowed his eyes.

That the mercenary in front of me knows the legendary black magician that even I haven’t seen?

Then Arthur asked again.

“But why did Mr. Barance make you?”

Suga came to his senses and answered.

“It was to lure out my husband, Van Prime.”

“… Half Prime?”

“yes. He is currently in the first line of succession to the Prime Kingdom, and he is my husband.”

Arthur raised his eyes.

“then… .”

Suga nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. I’m a doll and a homunculus made to fit Van Prime’s ideal type.”

“… … .”

“Everyone has an ideal type that they dream of. Balance… That person made me fit the ideal type of the van prime and eventually succeeded in marrying him.”

Arthur, who came to his senses, exclaimed.

“and… To obtain the Prime Kingdom?”

“… That’s it.”

“But did the pirates break in midway?”

“that’s right. The pirates have joined hands with Heron Prime, the second prince of the Prime Kingdom.”

Arthur opened his mouth.

“uh… A pirate joined hands with the second prince, Heron Prime?”

“yes. Chilhwang is the first prince. The pirate is the 2nd prince. Right now, the kingdom of Prime is engulfed in infighting between these two factions and their prince.”

“… … .”

“In the meantime, there was an assassination threat, and I had no choice but to hide under Barance for a while.”

Arthur stroked his chin.

“And now I’m about to go back, did this accident happen?”

“… That’s it.”

“hmm… I can roughly understand it, Mr. Suga.”

Arthur tilted his head.

“Even after hearing the explanation, you still don’t understand why you stabbed Mr. Cassel?”

“… … .”

“Why did you seduce the pirates?”

Suga pursed his lips.

However, he soon gave up on everything and opened his mouth to explain.

“A doll… Would you believe me if I loved you?”

“A doll?”

“Even if it’s a created monster… If you felt affection for the man who gave me infinite love, are you confident not to laugh at me?”

Arthur narrowed his eyes.

“That sound… ?”

“As long as I live, my husband will be swayed by Barance endlessly.”

“… … .”

“So at first I tried to commit suicide, but I failed.”

Arthur tilted his head.

“Because it’s a doll?”

“… that’s right. This body is not even allowed to die.”

“Hmm… So you asked the pirates to kidnap you?”

Suga burst into tears.

“yes that’s right. They asked me to disguise it as if I couldn’t stand it and left. If I do that, that man will at least give up on me… So I made this up.”

Arthur, who watched the clear tears falling from her eyes, stroked her chin.

‘… Now I understand.’

Why did this situation happen, and why did Suga betray on the way?

I finally got it all figured out.

‘Mr. Barance must have noticed early on that Suga asked the pirates to kidnap me.’

He quietly watched Suga’s betrayal.

‘Since Mr. Suga doesn’t die in the usual way anyway, I made it as a trap to lure out the pirate’s vice-captain.’

Maybe it was a rumor that even made up the rumor that there was a spy inside Chilhwang.

There was a high probability that even making the other party believe that and putting on a show to gather mercenaries and brokers was a trap to lure out the pirate’s vice-captain.

‘oh… Looking at it this way, everything fits perfectly.’

It was when Arthur, who had solved all his doubts along with his thoughts, smiled.

The collapsed Suga opened his mouth.

“… Now, as you promised, kill me.”

Arthur looked away.

Suga, a human, no, a doll, was pleading with a tear-stained face.

“If you’re as capable as you… I don’t know if you can kill me. So please kill me.”

At her request, Arthur stroked her chin.

Then he took out the beast and loaded the black bullet.

widely-!

Suga, who was watching the scene, trembled involuntarily.

However, the moment he calmly accepted the reality and was about to close his eyes, Arthur asked a question.

“By the way, Mr. Suga. I suddenly thought, will everything be solved if you disappear?”

“yes?”

“Think about it. Half Prime is the reason you disappear. It’s because of that person. But if you disappear… .”

Arthur tilted his head.

“As expected, half prime. Will he be alive? Do you think I will die?”

Suga’s eyes widened.
