The Duke’s Madness - The Duke’s Madness chapter 94

Arthur stretched as he looked at Barance’s corpse.

“Ughh-!”

The bones that were clumped together screamed with a crackling sound.

Arthur enjoyed the afterglow for a while and then collapsed onto the seat without even realizing it.

“Wow… I’m going to die hard.”

How many battles have we fought tonight?

Arthur, who was counting the torches, immediately shook his head.

‘It doesn’t make any sense. They just fought all over the place.’

It had been a long time since I had fought so hard that my muscles all over my body trembled.

The ring on my chest vibrated in that complex and delicate feeling that was both refreshing and difficult.

Ugh-!

At that moment, overflowing mana began to wrap around the screaming muscles.

Arthur, who exclaimed, murmured.

“Still… overflowing with mana?”

With these words, Arthur closed his eyes.

In the world of low consciousness, I saw five rings folded across my chest.

Ugh-!

Next to those five rings, a mass of unrefined mana was moving.

After watching the lump for a while, Arthur raised an eyebrow.

‘If you turn that lump into a ring, it will be 6 circles.’

In that case, he would finally reach the level of his previous life.

‘It’s only been 2 years since I came back to the past… I reached the 6th circle in 2 years.’

What kind of genius could do this?

Even a swordsman who claims to be naughty would not have experienced anything like this.

‘I was lucky. Eat dragon hearts, eat good spirits.’

Of course, until that luck followed, surviving and fighting was purely based on my own skills.

After thinking this far, Arthur opened his eyes again.

“Whoa.”

As I exhaled, I felt that my body felt better than before.

“You can take a break later, so you should move for now.”

There was a lot of work to be done.

I have to clean up the place, and I have to drive Suga to the Prime Kingdom.

Thinking of those things, there was no time to rest now.

Because of that, Arthur turned around and was about to approach the half-detonated train.

The dead Barans came into view with his eyes open.

“Oh right. I need to get Mr. Barance’s card.”

Arthur turned around and searched for Barance’s corpse.

Then he took out a black card.

‘Didn’t you tell me to take half of the money here?’

I don’t know how much is in it, but it won’t be a small amount.

The 3 trees of the Seven Emperors.

Isn’t that Barance’s card?

Arthur smiled softly and closed Barance’s eyes that he couldn’t close.

“I can’t tell you to go to a nice place, Mr. Barance. Instead, have a good night’s sleep.”

Arthur, who expressed his condolences, moved on again.

I saw Suga lying down in the distance.

Arthur approached and reached out his hand and gently stroked her forehead.

“hmm… It’s just fainting.”

At that moment, Undine appeared and whispered.

[Are you okay?]

“are you okay.”

[still… .]

“First, treat Suga first, Undine.”

Undine reluctantly nodded.

Ugh-!

The refreshing energy that flowed from her hand wrapped around Suga’s body.

After watching the scene for a while, Arthur slowly turned his head.

“… Dawn?”

Cassel, who had been walking with his sword as a cane, blinked.

Seeing that, Arthur clicked his tongue unconsciously.

“Mr. Cassel is so useless.”

“… huh?”

“What the hell have you been doing until now?”

At Arthur’s bruise, Cassell shouted as if he was unfair.

“What are you doing! I was having a hard time too! Suddenly the train explodes! The body is poisoned and cannot move… .”

Cassel, who had been pouring out cries of sadness, suddenly shut up.

Then he opened his eyes and asked.

“… Are you Dawn?”

“yes?”

“that… what is it?”

“What”

“Why is the ring… Are there five?”

The corners of Arthur’s lips rose slightly.

“While Cassell was playing, I worked hard and got a chance.”

“Giyeon?”

“yes. Have you heard of Dragon Heart?”

Cassell was shocked.

“That, you ate that!?”

“yes.”

“Really!? no… Seeing that the rings have become five, it seems to be real… .”

Cassel, who was speechless, came to Arthur’s side.

After that, he groaned and murmured.

“Really… I can feel the dragon’s scent from you.”

At this, Arthur asked.

“By the way, Cassel. I’ve been curious about it before, what kind of relationship do you have with dragons?”

“… huh?”

“No, that is strange. Normal people don’t say things like this because it’s the scent of a dragon.”

Cassell’s eyes widened.

Thinking about it, he shook his head and murmured.

“… It has nothing to do with it.”

“Really?”

“really!”

“I’m sorry. We’ve crossed the line together, can’t you tell me that much?”

“… When did we cross the line?”

“This has crossed the line. We met each other after crossing the threshold of death, right?”

Cassell kept his mouth shut.

Conflict passed through Cassel’s expression, but he did not open his mouth.

“… I’m sorry. I can’t tell you much about this. This is my destiny.”

Arthur shrugged his shoulders at the answer that seemed to have a lot of stories.

I was curious, but with such a reaction, I didn’t want to ask any more.

At that moment, Suga, who had fainted, frowned.

“Ugh-!”

With a moan, Suga stood up from his seat.

Arthur and Cassel asked at the same time.

“are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

Suga, who shook his head for a moment at these words, raised his head.

And looking at Cassel, I was startled.

“… Are you okay?”

“Who are you talking about?”

“You, Cassel.”

“… ah! it’s okay! Although the poison sting is painful.”

Suga showed an apologetic expression at Cassel’s reply.

Cassel, on the other hand, blinked at her reaction.

Arthur, who was stealing the look, thought.

‘This is how I forgive the woman who stabbed me. They call it a hogu after seeing this.’

Suga, startled at that moment, looked away and asked.

“Dawn! my father… .”

“Father?”

“yes! Balance… .”

At her words, Arthur pondered for a moment before replying.

“It’s a bit like saying it with my own mouth. Can you stand up?”

Suga’s eyes widened at Arthur’s words.

Cassel, who was next to him, was startled and asked.

“Barance? No way! That Barance has come here!”

Arthur moved instead of answering.

Suga and Cassel followed.

Cassel held his breath and muttered at the sight that was revealed afterwards.

“… What’s this?”

The world was divided.

As if it had been hit by something, the ground was hollow and there were fires everywhere.

But it wasn’t the mess that Cassel noticed.

‘mana… mana. oh my god… What the hell was the fight about?’

The aftermath of the collision of two powers that could cause miracles was felt everywhere.

This is the aftermath of a collision between a wizard of at least 50 years and a swordsman from the 5th circle.

‘no. maybe more than that These are the leftovers after a fight… ‘

Because of that, Suga shouted when Cassel swallowed dry saliva unintentionally.

“bar… Barance?”

Cassel’s gaze returned to her cry.

“uh?”

With an exclamation, Cassel unexpectedly backed away.

That’s also true because Balance, the Seven Emperor’s Cedar, was lying down with one of his two heads severed.

‘whoever?’

In the meantime, Suga, who had approached Barance, looked blankly at him and muttered.

“Are you really dead?”

“yes. Unless you are immortal, you are definitely dead.”

Suga shut his mouth at Arthur’s words.

Cassel was no different.

‘More, Dawn killed Chilhwang’s cedar?!’

It was when Cassel stared at Arthur with that astonishment.

Arthur suddenly clapped his hands and said.

“Now it’s Suga’s turn.”

At these words, Suga, who was looking at his father who had become a cold corpse, turned his head.

“It’s my turn… ?”

“yes. I’m confident in everything else, but I can’t clean up after myself.”

Arthur laughed softly.

“So Suga takes care of it instead. Wouldn’t that be possible for the Crown Princess?”

* * *

The cleanup was over in an instant.

Thanks to the explosion of the train, it was because the news spread faster than expected.

“Huh… .”

The soldiers with the flag of the Prime Kingdom who came to Suga’s call could not hide their astonishment.

“this… what?”

Hundreds of pirate corpses.

In the process, even the deaths of the giants who ruled the back streets of Arcane.

The corpses of all the amazing people were strewn about.

“This, this is the cedar tree of the Seven Emperors, Balance… no?”

“The heads of the other Seven Emperors are also off!”

“… crazy!!! Everyone come here! Pirate Vice Captain! Aaron Fryle is dead too!”

With shouts, the people who had gathered to clean up hung out their tongues.

“… What the hell is this?”

The clash between the pirates and the Chilhwang alone is surprising, and in the process, as many as four people who are called the main forces of the back streets of Arcane died.

In particular, in the case of pirates, Aaron Fryle, who was called the second-in-command, was knocked down.

“… Who, who killed these people?”

Could it be that the sword master or the archmage came here?

It was a time when the soldiers trembled involuntarily with that thought.

Suga looked at his father’s corpse and burst into tears.

‘Why am I crying… ?’

I just killed the evil wizard who was using me.

But why are the tears flowing?

She cried endlessly while looking at Barance’s corpse and murmured.

‘Also I… It’s not normal.’

I used to feel this every so often.

The fact that he is not a human but a homunculus.

Someone approached Suga who softly bit his lip.

“Sejabin. You must wake up.”

Knight Commander of the Prime Kingdom.

It was Kedan Hashbin.

At the advice of the man who is best friends with her husband, Suga stopped crying and stood up.

“Has the cleanup been all over? Kedan?”

“yes. It’s all over. All that remains… .”

Kedan, speechless, pointed to Arthur and Cassel.

“It’s me two.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know what happened here, Crown Princess. In my experience, it’s not a good thing to keep witnesses alive.”

Suga’s eyes widened at his advice.

“That word… ?”

“We need to erase the traces.”

“… … .”

“This is a very big deal. If the story spreads that the Arcane backstreets touched Crown Princess of the Prime Kingdom, there will be several ramifications.”

At his assertion, Suga’s widened eyes gradually returned to normal.

“… No Kedan. Just let it go.”

“But Crown Princess!”

“I don’t trust the two of you I met last night either, but one thing is for sure, Kedan.”

Kedan tilted his head.

“what… second?”

“If you two… To be precise, if you touch Dawn, that soldier will die, even if he doesn’t know about Kedan.”

“… … !”

“How am I supposed to be here when I meet Barance? And how did those two survive from Barance?”

Kedan’s eyes widened at Suga’s words.

In the meantime, Suga let out a soft laugh.

“So don’t bother touching the beehive. This is an order as Crown Princess.”
