Chapter 806



A great demon was an existence beyond eternity . From their point of view, 15 years was extremely short .  It was a long time for Astaroth, however, despite him being a great demon .  The newly acquired body that he obtained 15 years ago from his contract was extremely fragile . It was like walking a thorny road as he mixed among humans . He felt relief whenever he passed the day safely .

"So . . . I persisted for 15 years . ”

The shackle that was called a contract would last until his summoner’s wish was fulfilled .  He overcame Piaro and Asmophel, the ones who decorated the golden age of the empire, before securing his own power .  He devoted himself to making sure the days passed without blood or vomiting .  However .

“This woman . . . !”

Kwaduduk!

Astaroth’s eyes were consumed with hatred as he gazed at Mercedes .

"You ruined everything!”

In fact, the direct cause was the Overgeared King .  If that crazy human hadn’t showed up, Astaroth would have succeeded in getting rid of Mercedes and establishing a more solid position .  With the way things were going, the contractor’s wish to become the emperor would’ve been quickly realized . As such, the completion of the contract would then secure him enough magic power to look for a chance of resurrection .

Yes, Astaroth hated and resented the Overgeared King for ruining his years of waiting . He wanted to tear out Grid’s soul and chew on the body .  But the Overgeared King wasn’t here at the moment, making it natural for Astaroth’s resentment to spill onto Mercedes .

“Why . . . ?! Why did you bring him in?”

Astaroth’s weak body couldn’t bear his wrath as the swollen blood vessels on his forehead were ripped apart, spewing blood everywhere .  Astaroth didn’t care, however, as he barely managed to gather his weakened demonic energy and fire it at Mercedes .

Astaroth knew one fact from mixing in with humans for the past 15 years: they were really weak .  They were creatures that were little different from the livestock that they raised .  It wouldn’t be strange for the injured Mercedes in front of him to die immediately . She would disappear from even a small wave of mana .  There was a limit that humans couldn’t overcome .

The lightning demonic energy reached Mercedes; resistance was not allowed .  The metal attraction attribute of the lightning pulled Mercedes’s broken sword towards her, preventing any resistance .  She was destined to be helplessly killed by her own weapon, Astaroth was sure of it .

On the other hand, the emperor believed in Mercedes .  The emperor shouted, “Mercedes! Survive!”

In the 12 years that she had been serving her master, this would be the first time that Mercedes had received her master’s sincere command .

“ . . . ”

Her faint consciousness .  Her numb flesh .  Mercedes’s vision was blurry, as if she was trapped in a cloudy fog . The only thing keeping her standing was her instinct to protect the emperor .  However, things changed the moment she received the emperor’s command .

Mercedes’s vision brightened, her sharp eyes processing the world more completely than before .  Mercedes threw her sword, stopping the demonic energy that was flowing towards her .

“It’s useless!”



Astaroth had come flying after the demonic energy .  Astaroth ridiculed Mercedes for using the lightning rod principle to neutralize his demonic energy . It was a just a desperate, last-ditch effort after all .  His devastating sword flew towards Mercedes’ face .

Mercedes used a sword technique, shouting, “Supreme Swordsmanship 4th Style!”

Her body responded with the technique that had been ingrained in her body since childhood .  The skill of an old hero, the technique that exuded the essence of a person labeled a traitor . While it had to be sealed, Mercedes used it at this moment .

"What?"

Astaroth's eyes narrowed in surprise .  He was baffled that the sword about to pierce Mercedes’s face suddenly lost momentum before being pulled towards Mercedes’ fingertips .  Mercedes created a sword by substituting her hands and arms in its place .  Her body shone radiantly as her palms held Astaroth’s sword .

World messages emerged .

 

[A legendary knight has been born!]

[Every knight in the world will look up to her and praise her!]

 

“What . . . ?” What . . . ! What?!!!’

The fear sealed deep inside Astaroth’s heart instantly surged up .  He got a glimpse of Muller’s shadow, a legend that broke beyond human limits and could threaten a superior species, from Mercedes .  Mercedes had evolved .  Astaroth wanted to deny the terrible reality before him .

“Knight’s Resolution . ”

Silver sword energy burst out from Mercedes .  Her sword energy didn't target Astaroth and headed towards her fellow knights instead .

“Oh . . . ! Ohhh . . . !”

“S-Sir Mercedes!”

The knights who received Mercedes’ sword energy rose up . They were so energetic it was hard to imagine that they had been on the verge of dying not too long ago . A silver sword imprint on their chests burned like fire .  There was also a silver sword imprint on Mercedes’ own chest .

“What are you trying to do?!!” shouted Astaroth, feeling threatened .  He let out a deep, guttural growl, as if he were a wild beast . However, Mercedes and the knights felt no fear, with infinite courage protecting them .



“For our homeland . ”

“For our homeland!!”

Mercedes and the knights yelled! Then they rushed to Astaroth all at once .  Astaroth was forced to give up the sword caught by Mercedes in order to get away from his spot, which was a big deal considering his strength .  Thanks to Astaroth, Mercedes got a new weapon and became a complete knight .

Despite her various injuries, she leapt towards Astaroth at a transcendent pace, her sword dancing through the air like it was nothing . Her beautiful swordsmanship captivated everyone’s attention .

“Pledge Sword . "

The knights couldn’t count how many times Mercedes stabbed Astaroth with her silver sword energy; it was just too fast to be seen by the naked eye . She stabbed so much and so fast that it made the illusion that the universe was pouring out into the air .

“Kuak!"

Astaroth crashed to the ground and coughed up blood .


Kuwaaaang!

The floor collapsed .  The ground vibrated but the knights stood firmly in place . Due to Mercedes’ buff effect, their courage and physical abilities had increased significantly .

“You . . . !” Astaroth’s pale face became paler as he barely raised his body . Dozens of swords could be seen in his vision .  It was in the sky above him .  Mercedes watched Astaroth being damaged by the buffed knights and held her sword in front of her chest .  The straight line seemed to represent her heart .

"Didn't I tell you? I will punish you . ”

Mercedes’s sword energy fully unfurled, revealing wings of silver light fluttering behind her .  Her glowing sword gave Astaroth a sense of despair .

“Why?!”

Why were the legends always disturbing him?! This call rang out as Mercedes’s sword came down like an angel descending to earth .  Astaroth lost his power in the aftermath of the thunder stone’s destruction, and was unable to cope with her attack . Thus, he was split in half, turning to grey .

“Waaaaaaaah!”

The knights’ shouts filled the great hall . Their momentum seemed to cover all of Titan .  On the other hand, everyone, including the emperor, Bain, and Goldhit were silent .  The second legend in the empire’s history .  Bain and Goldhit couldn’t help feeling jealous .

In addition, there was the emperor .

“ . . . ”

He was ashamed .  From the moment he was born, he had reigned over the world . This was the first time he was unable to raise his head .  Mercedes approached him .  Her life was saved after becoming a legend, but her body was covered in bloody wounds . Even so, just the fact that she was still beautiful was amazing .

"Your Majesty, please forgive my disloyalty in not trusting you . ”

“ . . . ”

The emperor was silent as Mercedes knelt down before him .  She was dominated by guilt, making the emperor feel even more pained .

"That . . . you are putting the burden of blame on yourself?”

"Knights can’t blame their masters . ”

"Piaro and the former Red Knights didn’t betray me?”

"Yes . Everything was the work of the evil great demon . ”

“Did you know it from the beginning?”

"I only found out recently . Piaro and Asmophel are serving the Overgeared King . ”

Mercedes’ explanation followed, explaining the truth that she had heard and seen to the emperor .  The emperor listened quietly while the knights were in tears .

“I see . . . It was like that . . . ” The emperor nodded after he found out the truth . He lamented while feeling regret and guilt over the past .  He was grateful that Piaro met a new master and overcame the past feelings .

“Mercedes . ”

"Yes, Your Majesty . "

What decision would the empire make? Would he forgive Piaro’s sins, and redeem him as a hero? Or would he cover up the past mistakes? No matter what choice the emperor made, Mercedes had to accept it . Honestly, though, she hoped that the emperor would tell the truth to the empire .  She dreamed that Piaro would be stripped of the ‘traitor’ label .  

The emperor’s voice entered her ears, “I will strip you of your knight qualifications . ”

" . . . !"

“Y-Your Majesty!”

Mercedes was at a loss for words while the knights were agitated .  Bain and Goldhit were also greatly confused .  The emperor was getting rid of a knight who had become a legend? It didn’t matter what the reason was; it was an incredibly stupid choice .  

Bain was absolutely obedient to the emperor’s commands, and had never dared give his opinion before, making what he was doing now all the more incredulous .  He stood in front of the emperor, admonishing .  "Your Majesty, you should reconsider . . . ”

It was useless, as the emperor didn’t give in .  He shook his head and approached Mercedes, who was shocked to the core . He touched Mercedes’ delicate, wounded hands .

“This isn’t a command, but a request . Mercedes, give me a chance for atonement . Please serve my old friend and help him spend his last years in peace . ”

Piaro, who was regarded as the best genius of the empire since childhood, also came from an excellent lineage . It was natural for him to be approached by the emperor when he was still a prince . The two of them were friends for a long time and accumulated a friendship beyond status .  This was why the emperor’s sense of betrayal towards Piaro was so large, and also why he hated the existence of the Red Knights . Piaro’s betrayal was a great ordeal and pain for the emperor .

“Please, I’m asking you . ”

“ . . . ”

The emperor shed tears .  It was the first time Mercedes and the knights had seen it .  They realized that the emperor was also human .  Mercedes was unable to refuse his request .  In the end, “ . . . I will leave . I will protect the old hero and pass on his happiness to Your Majesty in the future . ”

"Thank you . . . I really thank you . ” Then .  "I'm sorry . ”

Did the emperor ever meet anyone with a pure heart since the time he lost Empress Aria, and the time he was betrayed by a friend? Sadly, he hadn’t .  But things would change in the future .  The weeping emperor smiled as the great burden in his heart was relieved .

The Saharan Empire was destined to become stronger in the future .

At the same time . . .

 

[A legendary knight has been born!]

[You have succeeded in sealing the weakened great demon Astaroth!]

[The 1st place raid compensation is acquired!]

 

“ . . . No, what is this?”

Grid’s mind became blank .
