[44] A dead father and the foolish daughter. (3.2)
Editor : Nemisis
After thinking it through, he finally revealed the secret to King Odgarsh and asked for his protection on that day every 100th year. It seemed that there was deep trust between King Kaimars and King Odgarsh at that time. But this trust eventually became the seed of betrayal. Trust always leads to betrayal. If you do not trust anyone, no one will betray you.
“But instead of protecting his brother, Odgarsh, the demon king informed the king of the city of Caltus. Right now they were the no No. 1 and No. 2 demon kings after King Kaimars. And what do you think happened then?”
It was obvious. There was no way that they would not have targeted him at his weakest, as they longed for the t.i.tle of the No. 1 Demon King. Kaimars regretted it, but the milk had already been spilled .[TL: meaning that what he feared the most has already happened]
Of course, King Kaimars was the strongest, even if his powers were weakened. King Cultus, who was wounded by him in the fight at that time is still healing his wounds till this day. You can estimate the powers of King Kaimars even in his weakened state he made 2 of the strongest demons almost face their death.
“In the end, Kaimars was murdered and framed as a sinner who betrayed his own people. After that, King Caltus became the new No. 1 Demon King.”
It was a false glory. The current No. 1 king is the weakest of all the demon kings due to his wounds. It was hard to exert influence on your people if you are weak. On the outside, it was rumoured that he had lost interest in the world after he became the absolute ruler, but in reality, he just could not move around at all.
“They, who killed Kaimars, tried to find traces of the secret of his power, but they could find nothing. And so it appeared that celestial awakening ritual powers had disappeared with Kaimar. Everyone is just talking about the past now. But there was only one person, who did not give up.”
“He is the demon king Odgarsh.”
I took a few steps closer to Caroline.
“Odgarsh was thinking about where Kaimar"s magic could have gone and paid attention to his only daughter. The baby, still unable to walk properly, was originally supposed to be used as a sacrifice for the ritual of darkness. But Odgarsh swapped the child and took it into his arms. Then the baby, who knew nothing, grew up thinking of Odgarsh as a parent. Being treated like a princess in his palace.”
“…Stop.”
Caroline bit her lip.
“The Demon king knows that magic powers can sometimes be pa.s.sed down as an inheritance between parents and children. That"s why he observed Kaimar"s daughter.”
What was pa.s.sed down to his daughter was his strength.
Even though he gave up ranking first or second, Odgarsh worked hard to raise the little child for a long time. Forty-one years later, the child grew up to be a beautiful girl who was coming of age.”
“Stop it!”
Suddenly, Caroline ran towards me. I blocked her attack with a magic sword and pushed her away as hard as I could.
“Odgarsh is expecting a change when the child reaches adulthood, if magic really is inherited like the elders say. When that happens, his true colours would be shown. He would take the power away from the daughter of the brother he murdered!”
“I"ve heard enough s.h.i.t!”
Kaang!
Once again, both their swords struck. Before they knew it, in the s.p.a.ce surrounded by the undead, a fierce battle had begun.
“But the girl is turning a blind eye to the truth! She must have felt something strange a few times. Because the girl is smart like her father. However, she lacked the courage to approach the truth. The girl was going to find out someday!”
“Stop!”
Eventually, I could not keep blocking Caroline"s sword and began to get hurt everywhere. However, I prevented the undead from getting involved.
“The girl"s strength was very good. But the girl doesn"t know what her true strength is! She escaped from the truth. Alas! She will face the same ruin as her father!”
“Shut up!”
My magic sword broke with a loud noise as it came in contact with Caroline"s attacks.
ngh!
The sword released a sad sound as it broke. But Caroline"s sad heart rang louder.
“The girl is smart but also stupid. Because she does not know that not all things are visible to the human eye. She is turning a blind eye to the truth beyond what she sees.”
“You are Noisy!”
Suddenly, I was kicked in the stomach.
“Keuk!”
I flew 10 metres backwards and rolled over on the ground.
“Kwuak!”
Blood poured out of his mouth. But he forced himself to stand up. As he stood, he pulled out another sword that was shabby-looking from his waist. It looked like it could break at any moment. He shouted as he charged towards Caroline.
“The girl doesn"t know! But there is a chance to find out the truth! Because the witnesses who remember that very day are still alive!”
“What?”
She stopped moving.
“The girl can know about the witnesses if the girl wants to. And she will hear the truth behind her father"s unjust death.”
“…that"s a lie.”
“The witnesses also have proof from that day. All that the girl has to do is visit them and check it out.”
“I don"t believe it! Commander! These are all lies from head to toe!”
Caroline cried out. But I never mentioned her name in my story. But still, she is reacting furiously because of the questions that have been whirling deep in her heart over the years.
She was shaking. And I did not want to miss this opportunity. Standing with an old sword in my hands, I charged with all my might.
The Wolyeong sword skill attack.
A technique that cuts through the opponent leaving no one in its way.
It went in the right direction. But Carlyone was not surprised and calmly raised her sword and blocked it. It was because my sword is old and rusty.
Then, changes began to occur to the sword. The old, rusty sword shone brilliantly like the sun, and it gave off an aura that is feared by even the undead.
This is the Ruble-Raynae, the sword from the heirloom of the feudal lord of the Pfalz. It was a sword that seemed like nothing to a person who did not understand it. But when it is needed, its true powers are shown!
“What the f.u.c.k!”
In a swift moment, the Ruble-Raynae had already broken her sword. Her eyes opened wide in shock.
Kang!
And it went right through her chest.
Kang!
A piece of her armor broke and the sword pierced through.
“Ugh!”
Caroline shuddered at the feeling of being stabbed. I stabbed her with my sword and completely overpowered her.
“A girl that is not a good learner. It was no use trying to make her understand when she is so dense.”
“Uh..”
Caroline could not respond properly and she only made a groan. I grabbed her head and whispered into her ear.
“I won"t allow you to run any further. It"s time to face the truth. Kaimars" foolish daughter.”
