68 – collapse (6)

“Punish, punish me… … .”

A woman trembling and weeping.

‘Is it really broken?’

The thought of what to do with this woman fills my head.

If it had been the usual good-natured princess, I wouldn’t have worried about this, but seeing her sitting down and crying, I couldn’t think of anything to say.

But to really hit him was absurd.

Ignoring the system’s request and directing my death to her was purely my choice.

‘Let’s appease him for now.’

I opened my mouth while making eye contact with Her Highness, the princess.

“… … Her Highness the Princess.”

“Yes, yes… … .”

“There is no need for me to feel guilty for what has happened to me. It was obviously painful when stabbed, but… … Because I was weak.”

“… … .”

“And there will be nothing wrong with the body. So don’t worry… … .”

“How can I not be worried!”

‘It’s a surprise.’

I was surprised by the sudden increase in her voice.

“You said it was because of me… … . You were stabbed because of me… … . black, uh… … .”

Princess Laura, clutching her breasts, sobbed almost screaming.

no what

Anyone who sees it will think I’m dead.

‘I’m sorry… … .’

Did I say something wrong?

Did I just say that I was stabbed?

Tring!

[The remaining duration of 《King of Chains》 is ’10’ minutes.]

“this.”

Time is running out.

I had no choice but to leave her alone and get up.

And then I took a quick look around.

A one-story building in disarray.

The nobles were soundly asleep on the third floor even in this tumultuous situation, as if the sleep magic had worked.

Four Princes and Five Princes hanging in the air, and even Duke Jeffrey, who is still suffering.

When I turned my head and looked outside the barrier the old man had set up, I could feel the presence of many people.

“Did you notice?”

The knights of the Imperial Castle must have noticed the trouble that happened in Ale Castle, the residence of the Four Princes.

ㅡ!!

ㅡ… … !

The sounds from the outside were blocked by the barrier and could not be heard.

The knights tried to break the barrier by swinging their swords wrapped in mana, but

It was not so easy to break the protective shield maintained by the Grand Master’s magical power.

Because his magical power was under my control.

If you break Duke Geoffrey’s mana heart, the barrier will be canceled right away, but it’s not the time yet.

Before the barrier is broken, a plausible situation must be created.

‘I can’t move in detail yet.’

It’s been so long since I’ve used this power without losing my sanity, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it well.

With a wave of his right hand, he raised the chain from the floor.

charrr… … .

Then, jet-black chains rise towards the third floor where the nobles lie face down.

As a test, I gave the order with my will, and a chain wrapped around the pot-bellied aristocrat’s body.

“Ugh… … .”

A middle-aged man who frowns at the pressure of chains even though he is asleep.

As long as you don’t get hurt, it doesn’t matter

The other chains also moved, dropping all the nobles behind me.

A total of about a hundred nobles lying behind my feet like that.

If you arrange other people here, the camouflage is over.

The reason for this camouflage is that I am not the power of the chain,

It was to create a situation where the demon was dealt with using a sword.

‘Now I look like… … It could be misunderstood as the Demon Lord.’

The moment the barrier ends, you may be misunderstood by the knights who will pour into the building.

intention to prevent such a situation from occurring.

I was the one who defeated the Four Princes and Duke Geoffrey, who were on the side of the monsters, so I wasn’t lying.

Tring!

[The duration of 《King of Chains》 is ‘5’ minutes left.]

‘wait a moment.’

I randomly threw the corpses of five sword masters and five death knights of Duke Jeffrey toward the floor across from me.

“Ugh, ugh… … .”

Half-mad Duke Geoffrey.

Clink!

“aaa… … !”

A chain was moved and pierced beneath his heart.

Then, the mana heart of Duke Geoffrey, the superman of the Dark Empire, is broken in vain.

Without missing the chance, he placed the fainting Prince Four and Prince Five at the center.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness.”

“… … ?”

Then, he raised his hand and hit the nape of Princess Laura, who was sitting down.

“Leon… … sir… … ?”

Fluff-.

Now, the person standing in this space,

only me

Tring!

[King of Chains’ duration is ‘1’ left!]

[[Jeffrey Arcturus’s] magical barrier will soon disappear!]

“… … .”

While reading the system window that appeared in front of my eyes, I took out the magic sword at my waist.

Then, the black blade of the magic sword is lightly smeared with blood on the floor.

Due to the self-healing traits affected by Duke Geoffrey’s curse, the sword wound from being pierced by ten swords was still not healed.

He straightened his back and bowed his head.

He was exhausted from the intense battle, and he was in a state where he didn’t even have the strength to raise his upper body properly.

The appearance of a perfect blood person.

After a minute had passed and I was free from the King of Chains, I gasped for breath from the fatigue that surged like a wave.

“Big… … .”

‘If I open my status window now… … It probably says ‘exhausted’.’

The black chains that flowed around disappeared.

Soon, Duke Geoffrey’s shattered Mana Heart completely lost its function, and at the same time, the barrier surrounding the banquet hall was lifted.

“Leon!!”

“Huh, huh… … .”

As if finding me gasping for breath, I hear Lady Catherine’s startled voice.

‘Is it an hallucination?’

“You said it wasn’t dangerous… … !”

It’s not hallucinations.

Eventually, the warmth of her embrace of my body made me realize that it was she who created this situation.

The royal knights who followed her drew their swords and began to be wary of the surroundings.

I smiled helplessly and opened my mouth.

“miss… … . I’m… … it’s okay… … .”

Even before I activated the King of Chains, my magic power was at rock bottom.

It was because not a single drop was left behind by Duke Geoffrey’s sealing magic.

“Leon, Leon… … .”

That’s why her voice was drooping, but the lady of the duke seems to have taken it in a completely different way.

warble.

watery eyes.

Her gaze was on my bleeding wound.

“How painful it must have been… … . If I had just moved, you wouldn’t have to be in so much pain… … .”

No, it doesn’t hurt at all.

I moved my lips to reassure you, as if you were worrying for nothing.

“That’s not… … .”

“Don’t open your mouth! It hurts… … !”

A wound that will naturally heal over time anyway.

But I couldn’t figure out how to react to Lady Catherine’s fuss, not knowing that my self-healing trait was cursed.

But let’s tell the truth… … Things weren’t good.

“Sir Leon. Can you hear me?”

A mature man who came to me like that.

A handsome man with a gray beard, who appeared to be over sixty.

“well… … I hear… … .”

“You don’t seem to be in very good shape. Excuse me for a moment.”

The knight commander hugged me.

“Catherine, the daughter of the Duke of Roelheim. Sir Leon, I will save him somehow, so please follow me.”

“… … I know.”

She barely answered in a voice that was on the verge of sobbing.

“You don’t have to worry, His Majesty will be coming soon. Then, let’s go first.”

The owner lady nodded while holding back tears.

“… … .”

I can’t lift my head because I’m stabbed by my conscience.

I bowed my head like someone who had passed out while riding on the back of the Guards Commander.

Then, the elderly man carrying me spreads out the footwork.

I saw the background flash by,

I realized that he was running with all his might.

The royal treatment center arrived soon after.

Two therapists on duty look at us with a startled look at the appearance of the Guards Commander who visited late at night.

“Chief of the Royal Guard?”

“Summon all nearby healers right now.”

“Ah, I see.”

“It is urgent.”

Saying so, the mature man laid me down on a flat bed.

The young healer ran out to call for other healers,

A middle-aged therapist, who seemed more senior, began to examine me.

“Great nature, bless this man with restoration. Over Heal!”

In the recovery magic used by the healer,

The tension in the whole body subsides.

‘It is comfortable.’

I fell asleep due to accumulated fatigue.

“You are under a curse of at least 7th class. Not just one or two, but more than ten curses.”

“… … Is it really?”

“Yes. If we do not act quickly, we will be out of action.”

Anyway, if the self-healing trait comes back, everything will be restored.

However, I didn’t even have the strength to speak, so I entrusted myself to the slowly closing eyelids.

***

Leon falls into a sweet sleep.

He hadn’t even dreamed of it.

next day,

what will happen to you.
