Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 18

The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 18

Episode 18 warning (4)

The severed arm rose high in the sky and then fell to the ground.

Soon, blood burst out from the cross section of the shoulder.

Gehrig curled up and groaned due to the pain that came late.

“Keu, kuuh…” … .”

I lost my right arm, which was more precious than my life, to a prosecutor.

It was safe to say that his life as a knight was now over.

But what filled Gehrig’s mind now was not the pain of loss, but questions.

“Uh, how… … .”

Damian destroyed Gehrig’s vision with just one move.

No, it wasn’t just a level of destruction.

When Damian lashed out with his long sword, the flow of magical power was broken. At the same time his greatsword was destroyed.

“Say it! Wow, what kind of technique did you use?! What on earth is that… … !”

Blue Flame Brigandine.

He is one of the five great saints of the religious order and has no peer when it comes to martial arts.

The level Brigandine reached as a Master was called ‘annihilation.’

Once annihilation was reached, it was possible to collapse the structure of an object using external shock.

With this, Brigandine destroyed the technology, weapons, and even magic used by the enemy.

One time, Dorgo destroyed a destruction circle that had appeared after years of effort.

“Is it time to ask something like that?”

Damian raised his long sword and aimed it at Gehrig’s neck.

Gehrig’s face turned pale.

“Save me, save me.”

“If you were going to beg, you should have done it sooner. “It’s already too late.”

The tip of the knife slightly dug into the skin.

Gehrig’s face turned even whiter.

“I will pray like this. Please… … .”

Gehrig knelt on the floor.

I touched the ground with my only remaining arm.

That energetic appearance was nowhere to be found.

“Please save me?”

Damian aimed his long sword at Gehrig’s neck.

Gehrig’s eyes were shaking wildly.

“You treated my family like that and made my attendant look like that, but you want me to live?”

“My, I was wrong! I-I will apologize for that… … .”

“You are misunderstanding who you are apologizing to.”

As he said that, Damian looked back at his family.

The family was looking at Damian with a mixture of surprise and relief.

I already knew that Damian’s skills were considerable.

However, it was a reaction that came out because I did not know that it was strong enough to overwhelm the low class.

“Ugh, ugh!

Gehrig used magical power to stop the wound on his shoulder.

As befits a low-class person, all blood vessels were blocked using magical power.

Then, he forced his trembling body to stand up and approached Viscount Haksen.

“Ha, Lord Haxen! My, I was wrong! I apologize for all the disrespect I have done to you… … !”

Gehrig said, kneeling down.

Viscount Haksen was embarrassed at first, but soon shouted with anger.

“You tried to persecute my son, but are you planning to get rid of me with just one word like that?”

Viscount Haxen’s anger did not subside easily.

“If my son had not had this much power, our territory would have been destroyed, and my son would have been taken away as a marquis and suffered hardships!”

In the first place, Gehrig’s apology was not heartfelt.

It was just a struggle to live.

So there was no way Viscount Haksen’s anger could be relieved.

“I’m going to pray like this!”

Gehrig hit his head on the ground.

I took several pictures as I thought once wasn’t enough.

“Boo, please have mercy!”

My father glared at Gehrig for a long moment.

He then looked at Damian and shook his head.

It meant not to kill.

Damian obediently put away his long sword.

‘I didn’t intend to kill myself anyway.’

Considering that I had mentioned my family, my anger did not go away even if I chopped it into dozens of pieces.

However, if you kill Gehrig here, your relationship with Marquis Ryan Bloom will take a turn for the worst.

‘I can fight the marquis by myself.’

You can hide and only bite the Marquis’ weaknesses.

If you fail, you can surrender yourself to the marquis’ hostile forces.

But I couldn’t do that when I thought about my family.

No matter how Damian is, he cannot fight Ryan Bloom while protecting his family at his current level.

‘More than anything, it’s a very difficult road.’

When I returned, I made a promise.

I won’t let my family go through any more hardships.

‘But we can’t just let him go back like this.’

Not only the Duke of Science but also the official knight was defeated.

There is no way Marquis Ryan Bloom can just pass up this figure.

Retaliation will certainly come in the near future.

‘Thank goodness.’

In fact, Damian had prepared a plan in advance.

Ever since I heard that an article had arrived from Marquis Ryan Bloom.

‘It’s a good thing I made connections with the church.’

DAMIAN That’s when I thought so.

“What is going on!”

A familiar voice was heard.

Agnes and the investigation team were approaching this way.

* * *

Agnes arrived in front of Damian and looked around with a surprised face.

Broken objects, horribly shattered ground, and blood stains scattered everywhere.

“This… … .”

Agnes’ eyes stopped on Gehrig.

“The pattern on that armor is… … Doesn’t it belong to Marquess Ryan Bloom?”

“Yes, this guy and the two guys lying over there. “These are all articles by Marquis Ryan Bloom.”

Agnes’ eyes widened slightly at the answer.

“The marquis’ knights… … “You mean they attacked the territory?”

“Yes, that happened.”

Agnes looked at Gehrig again. To be precise, the gaze was directed to Gehrig’s shoulder.

Compared to Damian, who was standing unharmed, Gehrig was kneeling with his arm cut off.

It was a structure that clearly revealed who was the winner and who was the loser.

“… … Marquis Ryan Bloom’s articles are famous for being excellent. “You dealt with all three of them at the same time?”

“Even if there were three people, two of them were quasi-knights, so it was nothing special. “That one guy was the only official knight.”

Agnes’s eyes grew even wider at those words.

Since he killed Agito single-handedly, I expected him to have skills beyond that of a formal knight.

However, I had no idea that we would win with such an overwhelming margin.

“I’m glad you didn’t get into trouble.”

“Thank God… … “It hasn’t happened now, but I don’t know what will happen in the future.”

Agnes looked puzzled at Damien’s words.

“I am worried about how Marquis Ryanblum will act if he hears that they have defeated me.”

While saying that, Damien took a quick look at Agnes.

Agnes thought about something for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“If you have that kind of concern, I can help you.”

“Do you have any clue?”

Agnes nodded to Damien’s question.

“Thanks to Viscount Haksen, the church succeeded in killing Yuran’s official for the first time. With this level of merit, we can designate the Haksen family as a cooperative family.”

A cooperative family refers to a family that has a close relationship with the church.

A family like this could not be easily touched, even by a great noble family. If that happens, the church will step out.

“What would you like to do?”

“No shame, but please ask.”

This is exactly what Damian was aiming for.

This means using the church’s prestige to suppress Marquis Ryan Bloom’s actions.

“What is your name?”

Agnes asked Gehrig. Gehrig opened his mouth cautiously.

“… … “My name is Gehrig Howard.”

“Gerrick Howard. Go and tell Marquis Ryanblum. Viscount Haksen is under the protection of the church. “If he tries to use force again, he will have to endure the wrath of the church.”

Gehrig nodded heavily at Agnes’ warning.

“Take the trash lying over there and get out quickly.”

In response to Damian’s threats, Gehrig quickly moved.

He put the two people on the horse he came with and left the territory.

“Thank you for your help.”

Damian said to Agnes. Agnes replied that it was no big deal.

“Damian.”

As soon as Gehrig left, Viscount Haxen came and said:

“… … What should I do next? “I need to hold a meeting.”

At his father’s command, Damian nodded without saying a word.

* * *

So an impromptu family meeting was held.

Those in attendance were Damian, Viscount Haxen, mother, older sister, younger brother, governess, and Agnes.

“Then let’s start the meeting. The topic to discuss is… … “As everyone knows, we are trying to find a way to resolve our financial relationship with Marquess Ryanblum.”

In response to Viscount Haxen’s words, Abel, the youngest brother, raised his hand and said.

“Didn’t you decide to receive the church’s protection? But why do we have to solve the financial problem?”

“Abel, that’s because we can’t expect mediation from the church.”

“yes?”

Abel gave a puzzled look. Viscount Haxen nodded his head and said.

“Louise is right. “The church does not intervene that deeply with nobles.”

Even now, the denomination is going around here and there under the pretext of judging heresy.

In such a situation, it was an act of crossing the line to intervene in an incident that occurred among nobles.

“but… … Anyway, they can’t touch us in Marquis. “Isn’t there no problem?”

“The power of the marquis does not lie solely in force. “If they want to, there are many ways to trample on a small noble family like our Viscount Haksen.”

Such as hindering the export of wheat, which is the main source of income for Viscount Haksen, or preventing the purchase of food.

Or, pressure could be applied directly through the royal palace.

“That’s why I said we need to resolve the issue. Only then can Viscount Haksen be safe.”

Only after hearing his father’s explanation did Abel understand the situation Viscount Haksen was in.

“The only way that comes to mind right now is to pay compensation to the marquis or go under another great noble.”

However, in reality, compensation was impossible.

The marquis will demand a huge amount of money.

“All that remains is to join the ranks of the great nobles… … .”

“There is one more way.”

Agnes, who had been quiet all along, opened her mouth.

Viscount Haxen asked with joy.

“What is that?”

“Damian Haxen will become a paladin.”

Agnes said.

“Then, since this matter becomes the church’s business, there is a justification for mediation.”

The family all looked at Damian.

But Damian shook his head.

“I don’t like it.”

Viscount Haxen looked back at Agnes.

“Damian says he doesn’t like it, so that won’t work.”

“… … All right.”

Agnes nodded with a sullen face.

“Now then, let’s think about another way… … .”

“father! “Why are you so easily convinced?”

At that time, Abel stood up and shouted.

“This will end when you become a paladin! Please speak! “Be quiet and become a paladin!”

Abel said, pointing his finger at Damian. Viscount Haxen quietly encouraged.

“Take a seat.”

“father! All of this happened because of someone! It’s because of you! “It’s all up to you, brother!”

“Abel.”

Viscount Haxen raised his voice.

Abel had no choice but to stop talking due to that strange pressure.

“Didn’t I tell you to sit down?”

Abel bit his lip and sat back down.

Viscount Haxen still spoke in a low voice.

“As you said, it was Damian who caused the conflict with the marquis. But this cannot be seen as Damian’s fault.”

Abel raised his head as if asking what he was talking about.

However, when Viscount Haksen glared at him, he lowered his head again.

“The Marquis’ Duke had dark intentions toward Louise. You probably know that Lee Gongja is famous for being lecherous. “I don’t think a man like that would have given up on Louise just because Damien didn’t trick him.”

Damian nodded and agreed with his father.

Considering Lee Gongja’s personality, he must have had an accident in some way.

“If you think about it, Damien protected Louise from Lee Gongja’s tricks. “On behalf of this powerless father.”

Viscount Haxen gave Louise an apologetic look. Louise just smiled silently.

“The drivers came today in the same way. No matter how much Damian provoked him, it was Gongja Lee who first challenged him to a duel and drew his sword. “The Marquis didn’t think about that and just held our family responsible.”

Viscount Haksen clenched his fists as if he was angry.

“Damian.”

“Yes, father.”

“You did really well today.”

Damian’s eyes widened slightly at his father’s praise.

“You did not tolerate the insult to our family and repaid it well.”

Why?

A certain emotion rose up in my heart.

The emotions were so strong that Damian had to hold back from bursting into tears.

“of course… … “It was something that had to be done.”

Suddenly, an incident from my past life came to mind.

He acted like a fool and caused great damage to his family. He ruined his sister’s life.

In the end, he killed his entire family with his own hands.

In those terrible days, there was only one thing Damian wanted: atonement.

The moment he heard his father’s praise, Damian felt like he had done a little, just a little, atonement.

“Still, I can’t deny the fact that it happened because of me.”

Damian suppressed his tears. He said it was still too early to cry.

Damian has not yet fully atoned for his family.

“Please wait a moment. “I will finish this.”

“no.”

Viscount Haxen said it right away.

“I will let this father solve this matter.”

“yes? but… … .”

“You ignore this father so much. I plan to connect with a great noble family through a noble I know. All you have to do is borrow the power of a great noble to mediate between you and the marquis.”

Viscount Haxen said, pounding his chest with his fist.

“Let me show my father-like appearance for the first time in a while.”

“father… … !”

Tears formed in Damian’s eyes. Viscount Haxen smiled happily.

“father!”

Damien spread his arms and ran to his father. His father hugged Damian tightly.

It was a time when the two father and son were having a touching time.

“My lord, may I come in?”

The butler knocked on the door of the conference room and said.

“Okay, come in.”

Viscount Haxen said as he took Damian away from his arms.

The butler who opened the door and came inside spoke to the Viscount.

“A customer came outside.”

“customer? Could it be that it came from the Marquis?”

“no. “Someone from the Gold Pixie duchy has arrived.”

Everyone in the family, including Viscount Haxen, looked puzzled at the word Gold Pixie.

“What brought someone from the Gold Pixie duchy to come?”

“That’s what…” … .”

Was it difficult to answer? The butler sighed.

“Prince Damien borrowed money using his wife’s wheat field as collateral… … “They say the deadline has already passed.”

Damian looked back at his father.

Anger slowly grew on my father’s face, which had had a gentle expression just moments before.

“Damian! “You damn son of a bitch!”

Damian lamented as he heard his father yelling at him.

‘… … Oh, you’ve already sold it?’
