The Successor to the Underworld Is a Cheat Player - The Successor to the Underworld Is a Cheat Player chapter 102

“The supporting forces that have already left me are quite significant.”

Demorus’s military advisor, Opas.

Once mentioned as a witch candidate, she was also known as the flower of blood.

Despite being known as an elder within Demorus, she was the most significant spiritual supporter of Tampia, who was strongly supported by the famous assassin within Demorus.

Despite being called an elder, her appearance shone as if with light.

“If things continue like this, you will fall. Tampia.”

Tampia, who once had the second most support among the successor candidates, had now fallen to a level similar to Nagaar.

The changes that emerged as the number of contacts with Sain and the

The unpopular castle of Vithong, rumored to be disliked by the Lord.

Despite its considerable size and grandeur, the castle always felt desolate.

“Your Lordship, we have gathered.”

A considerable number of people were present in the desolate castle.

“Please, have a seat.”

At Sein’s command, over thirty individuals took their seats.

Roberta, Deren, Sienjin, and the key figures of the 3rd Legion.

And faces unseen for a long time.

A year at the main residence.

Those who had gathered to pledge loyalty to Sein.

“Let’s get straight to the point, as the affairs have taken a turn for the worse.”

A flicker of a smile appeared on Sein’s lips.

“Tampia has begun to move.”

“…!”

The assembled individuals perked up.

However, figures like Roberta, Deren, and Sienjin silently nodded in agreement.

“That means…”

“It must be the beginning.”

The unspoken rule of Demorus.

When all successors have been determined, there is a year-long rule to restrain conflicts among the candidates.

Hence.

– It’s an execution.

When Sein attempted to slit Jargar’s throat, it was also Delan, Demorus’s bodyguard, who intervened.

And here.

“Lady must have endured for a long time.”

Jargar was also present.

“It seems the real competition has begun now.”

A true succession competition.

That is the rule of the main residence.

During this time, Sein was gaining strength by suffocating the other successor candidates.

Now is the proper beginning.

Knock, knock.

A knocking sound was heard.

“Come in.”

Through the door opened with Sein’s permission, two men entered.

Well-built bodies and fierce appearances.

Having spent a long time on the battlefield, they were members of the 3rd Legion.

“Chevez, Herzor.”

Those were their names.

“What’s the matter?”

Only the high-ranking officials who could be considered the core were invited to today’s meeting.

“Excuse me, my lord.”

Two individuals apologizing for interrupting the meeting.

And as they cautiously raised their heads, a glint appeared in their eyes.

“An order has been issued.”

Chevez spoke.

“An order?”

Only they had the authority to issue orders to these two.

The master of Demorus, Lady Tezera.

And the owner of the 3rd Force, Sain.

But there was no memory of Sain giving orders to the 3rd Force.

“Has Lady Tezera given a mission to the 3rd Force?”

At that moment, when another official spoke with disbelief.

“Kill Sain Demorus.”

A single phrase came from Chevez’s mouth.

Thud.

The air in the meeting room seemed to be heavily pressed down.

“It’s an order from Tampia.”

But Sain’s response was a smile.

“So, the little fool is really starting.”

Chevez and Herzur.

They were the ones who had been summoned to Tampia and sworn loyalty to her when Sain acquired the 3rd Force.

But now, they were the ones conveying Tampia’s orders to Sain.

Their attitude, devoid of even a hint of vitality, and quietly bowing their heads.

“Good work.”

They had already become Sain’s people.

“The little fool.”

Sain’s evaluation of Tampia was not wrong.

Tampia thought too highly of her own beauty, power, and noble lineage.

But the 3rd Force had spent a year with Sain.

Just as Sain had observed the 3rd Force, the 3rd Force had also observed Sain.

– I have something to tell you.

One day, Chevez and Herzur came to Sain and spoke.

– We have committed a crime. In fact…

They laid everything bare.

Sain’s abilities, and the attitude and thoughts with which he dealt with the 3rd Force led to his defection.

– Lucky.

Sain said at that moment.

– If it had been too late, I would have had to eliminate you inevitably. Still, I quite liked it.

Sain already knew everything.

At that moment, Chevez and Herzger, dripping cold sweat, repeatedly expressed their apologies and gratitude, a scene etched into their minds never to be erased.

“Well, have you all heard?”

Sein slowly rose to his feet and spoke.

“Now, it’s war.”

Snick.

“You all have waited long enough.”

Thud.

Sein ripped open the shirt he had covered with a jacket.

“What are you doing?”

From Noble mtl dot com

Approaching Chevez and Herzger, Sein said,

“Stabbing.”

“Kuk….”

Suppressed laughter.

“Kahaha!”

Tampia roared with laughter, ecstatic with the joyous news that had just arrived.

“Sein Demorus has been critically injured and lost consciousness.”

It was a signal announcing the success of the operation.

The details were not yet clear, but Tampia knew.

One of the seeds Tampia had planted, Chevez, had taken advantage of Sein’s slumber.

“You fool!”

It felt like a weight had been lifted off the sick person’s chest.

Tampia never doubted Sein’s critical condition.

“I trusted the 3rd Force completely and handed over my protection.”

From one day, Sein alternated between the 3rd Force members for protection, entrusting them while he slept.

How many times it had brought delight.

For a human, inevitably the most vulnerable moment was when Tampia’s prepared blade would be at its sharpest.

However.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Tampia was not entirely pleased.

Then, a messenger urgently approached Tampia, kneeling on one knee.

“According to the Medical Unit, Sein Demorus was indeed stabbed in the heart.”

Snap!

Finally, Tampia clapped his hands.

The Medical Unit could not be deceived.

Always carrying the burden of injuries, they were the most crucial organization in the dark world, where they had to treat everyone fairly and without bias, with no room for succession or competition.

Those who cannot be bought, nor persuaded to be bought.

Therefore, if the words come out of their mouths, they must all be true.

“About the enemy?”

“They say they still don’t know.”

“They handled the situation well.”

I like that.

“But it’s a shame they didn’t die.”

It would have been better if they died in this round.

Sein opened up to the 3rd Unit and waited until he overestimated his own abilities, which was the perfect moment he had gained, but the result was somewhat disappointing.

At that moment, another group came looking for Tampia.

“They say the enemy is Chevez of the 3rd Unit. The 3rd Unit is currently in pursuit, and here…”

They handed over a letter.

“They asked me to deliver it to you, Tampia.”

Even without opening it, it was obvious.

Since they kept their promise, they must be asking for rescue and protection.

But.

Rip.

Tampia tore the letter apart without even looking at it.

“These people are underestimating my value.”

They are to be discarded.

If they had succeeded without being caught, they might have been used a few more times, but it was never a feasible story to save those who had attempted to assassinate Demorus’s bloodline.

“Tampia.”

At that moment, Opas called Tampia.

“There’s only one that got caught. And Sein Demorus has not died yet.”

A sly smile appeared on Opas’s face.

“Bring in the other one.”

There is still one more chance left.

Rumors spread that Sein Demorus’s recruits were being sent to Dante.

Since the assassination attempt was made at the main house, the treatment would be carried out not by the main house but by Dante, one of Sein’s supporting factions.

Dante’s Obligatory Unit was also known to be highly regarded by Demorus.

Gnash.

Tampia bit her nails.

“Do we have any ties to Dante?”

Dante, one of the three organizations under Demorus.

“No.”

Unfortunately, there were no individuals in Dante who could be considered allies of Tampia.

It was all due to their unwavering loyalty to the relentless Rohan.

“What about those young ones?”

Two little ones from the main house were part of Dante.

One was heard to have died in the competition of candidates with Sein.

“Kimo… What was it? Butter? Ah, right. It was Vita.”

Tampia remembered the name.

“Using those guys?”

“It will be difficult.”

“Tsk.”

Although they were from the main family, they would have found Tampia challenging, but now that they had stepped back from the forefront of the succession competition and thrown themselves into Dante’s arms, there was no reason for Tampia to heed their request.

“It seems like it’s harder to touch once they’re sent away.”

Even for Tampia, meddling with the three major organizations was a burden.

She tried to think leisurely, but she had to get urgent.

“Contact with that guy?”

One of the three branches of force had been discarded, but one had already made contact.

“I received a message today.”

The three branches of force were in disarray due to Sein’s assassination attempt, so now they had finally sent a reply.

She broke the seal and opened the letter.

There, time and place were written.

“Tampia, there’s no need to worry too much.”

Opas reassured Tampia, who seemed anxious.

“The dagger that pierced Sein Demorus’s heart was coated with the venom of a black rose.”

The extremely potent poison Opas provided.

Opas, once renowned as an assassin, and his poison, which had an unknown antidote.

“The possibility of Sein Demorus waking up immediately is slim, and the situation is flowing very favorably for us.”

Another branch of force.

“It’s said that one of the branches of force will participate in this transfer.”

“Is that… really true?”

A glimmer of hope appeared on Tampia’s face, which had looked anxious.

“So meet that person and make sure to handle the job properly.”

“But…”

She couldn’t make a proper judgment due to the constant rising anxiety.

At times, feeling immense relief, she felt like she could handle everything.

Darkness.

At other times, she felt like Sein’s blade would pierce her throat at any moment.

“Tampia.”

Opas grabbed Tampia’s shoulder and said.

Only then did Tampia feel a bit of reassurance.

“Don’t be anxious.”

A whispering voice.

“Everything will turn out well.”

“Alright….”

It will happen.

“You will be the successor.”

Words of Opus.

You can believe it.

“I should meet that guy first.”

The remaining three forces of the Kknafull.

It seemed necessary to meet him.

***

Numerous castles existing in the main house.

Among them were abandoned castles that were not even maintained.

There.

Swish.

A figure in a reversed robe quietly stood up.

“Are you, Lady Tampia?”

The man’s unease was evident in his voice.

“Did you think Lady Tampia would come in person?”

However, those who entered the castle only brought disappointment to their opponents.

“You won’t meet Lady Tampia with the likes of you.”
