Return of the Calamity-Class Death Knight Chapter 248

The Return of the Destruction-Class Death Knight Chapter 248

Episode 248 Breakup (1)

Damien stared at Sla’s body.

Thanks to my knowledge of black magic, I was able to see how Sla’s soul screamed and disappeared.

No matter how great the body’s regenerative power is, it’s over if the soul is destroyed.

What was now before my eyes was nothing more than an empty shell.

“It’s over.”

As the tension eased, my body ached all over. The aftereffects of the battle were belatedly creeping in.

Damien sat down on the floor because even standing was difficult.

Damien closed his eyes tightly. He muttered softly in the darkness.

“Sister… … .”

In her previous life, Louise was the only one among her family who took care of Damian until the end.

Even when Damien was kicked out of the family, he worried about him. He even gave him money he had been hiding and wished him happiness.

But Damian ended up disobeying his sister’s last request.

By becoming a Death Knight, he made himself and everyone unhappy. In the end, he killed his family and let his sister’s soul fall into Sla’s hands.

My sister suffered for a long time while held captive by Sla.

“Finally… …I killed it.”

Of course, this was a story from a previous life.

My older sister was currently living a happy newlywed life in reality.

Even if I kill Sla, there’s no way my older sister from my previous life will be saved. The only one who’s satisfied is Damian.

But that doesn’t mean I’m going to quit.

The scum that ruined the souls of their families in their past lives, the filthy bastards that sided with Dorgo and brought misfortune to the whole world.

If there is even a 1% chance that the future will be like my previous life.

He could not spare even a single one. He intended to kill them all, to annihilate every single soul.

“You worked hard too.”

Damien looked down at Dawn. Then he suddenly noticed that Dawn’s blade had teeth on it.

It seemed as if his teeth had fallen out, unable to fully withstand Sla’s final blow.

“You were too pushy. I’m sorry.”

Jiiing.

The sword rang as if the dawn was okay. Of course, it couldn’t really be okay.

“I guess I’ll have to visit the Holy Church for the first time in a while.”

I was thinking that I should look for it anyway.

A holy sword of the dawn level grows through repeated battles. And it must be tempered every time it grows in order to fully display its performance.

“Just rest for now.”

Damien sheathed Dawn’s sword, then he felt a presence from above.

A large number of people poured out of the hole in the ceiling. One of them shouted.

“Sir Damian! Are you alive? Sir Damian!”

The dean was Altman Bedefulite.

Altman ran to Damien with the teachers, and was horrified when he saw Sla’s body.

“What, what the heck is this… … ?”

Sla’s corpse was shrunken like a mummy due to the aftereffects of his soul being destroyed.

But because the main body was so huge, even the mummy was very large.

It was so overwhelming that I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed even though I knew it was a corpse.

“It’s Sla.”

Damien said calmly. Altman asked back with a surprised face.

“Is this really Slaran?”

“If you don’t believe it, call an investigator. I think they already know what kind of nature Sla’s black magic has.”

At those words, the eyes of the principal and other teachers wavered.

I couldn’t help but believe it, even though I didn’t want to, when Damien came out so confidently.

This is the corpse of the great evil whore Sla of Pandemonium.

“… … To deal with Sla alone.”

“How many people with that level of skill are there in the empire?”

“There won’t be more than ten. That’s huge.”

The teachers all looked at Damien with astonishment.

Damien wasn’t very interested in the teachers’ reactions.

“I’ll just pass by now.”

“Now, where are you going?”

The Dean asked in surprise. Damien glared at the Dean with a cold gaze and said.

“What are you doing? Are you planning to block my path like you did before?”

Damien kept thinking about how the Dean had interfered with him.

The Dean couldn’t raise his head at Damien’s scolding.

“That, that can’t be possible.”

“I’m tired and going to rest. I’ll be at my accommodations, so please call me when the investigators are dispatched.”

Damien jumped over the ceiling. As he went outside, he saw the faces of the other teachers.

There were exactly two students among them.

Oliver Portina and Penelope Borgia.

“Are neither of you hurt?”

As Damian spoke, he approached the two men. However, the two men flinched and took a step back.

“I, I… … .”

“That, that is… … .”

The two were clearly afraid of Damian.

Damian didn’t feel particularly upset. When he found Sla, Damian couldn’t control his emotions.

Seeing their expressions at that time, it was natural for the two of them to be scared.

“I’m glad you’re both okay. Just in case, get tested and rest.”

Damien turned and headed towards his quarters.

Oliver and Penelope looked at Damian’s back with complicated faces.

Less than a day later, investigators were dispatched to the academy.

Investigators extracted dark magic from Sla’s body and examined it.

“… … The pattern of black magic matches. It’s definitely Sla.”

“Is this really Slarag? One of the most dangerous giants can die so easily?”

“What can I do? There’s a dead body right in front of me. I have to believe it.”

The investigators immediately wrote a report and submitted it to the royal family.

The imperial family was shocked when they received the report.

“It is certain that Slaaga died at the Academy.”

“What? So is that really the case that Sla was hiding in the Academy?”

“This is ridiculous… … What kind of place is the Academy that there’s such a big bad guy there… …!”

“It seems like other agencies will have to investigate as well. Who knows, Pandemonium might have gotten involved.”

Imperial officials took this situation very seriously.

The Academy was the cradle that nurtured the future of the Empire. It was a place that was tainted by Pandemonium.

There was no guarantee that other agencies would be okay. A full-scale investigation had to be launched, even if it meant overthrowing the empire.

“More importantly, the knight Damien Haxen. Did he really take on Sla alone?”

“The testimonies of the students and the teachers are consistent. It is certain.”

“That’s ridiculous. Wasn’t Slaa one of the biggest monsters in Pandemonium?”

“How many knights were killed by Slahan? Damien Haxen alone… … .”

Originally, the bureaucrats had a very negative view of Damien Haxen.

How can one like a human who broke the tradition of the Helian competition?

But if the article had killed the giant Slaran, it would have been different.

“It makes me feel good to think about what that fucking bitch did.”

“More than a hundred thousand of the empire’s citizens were sacrificed to that whore.”

“Did a lot of knights die? A lot of talents were taken away?”

The harm done to the Slaaga Empire was indescribable.

There was not a single noble in the empire who did not grit his teeth at Sla.

“I heard that you went to the academy to find Sla.”

“You insulted Damien Haxen without even knowing that.”

“Ugh, this is… … I don’t know how to apologize.”

While the officials were busy talking about Damien Haxen and Slalo, the Emperor was also deeply troubled.

‘To kill Sla… … .’

The emperor could not help but be greatly impressed.

The Empire has been chasing Sla for decades, but has not been able to catch her by her tail.

Not only did he single-handedly find the monster, he also single-handedly defeated it.

‘What a tremendous achievement… … .’

A feat of this magnitude would not be found even if you search through the history of the empire.

‘for a moment.’

Suddenly the emperor realized.

‘Can’t I support you as much as I want now?’

* * *

While the investigation was ongoing, Damien rested in his quarters.

‘I need to rest for a week.’

In order to keep up with Sla’s speed, I had to use the Hwahnmugeukgong and Beolseongjigwangyak to the limit.

Using the two mana training methods increases physical abilities and magical power output several times, but the burden on the body is also great.

‘It’s still difficult to deal with an enemy as strong as Sla.’

Damien was not optimistic about this victory.

Sla was on the ‘relatively’ easy side, because Damian had the upper hand in terms of compatibility.

Sla’s most powerful weapon was the pheromone it emitted.

Most of the knights were enslaved to Sla by being possessed by pheromones. Even if they held out, they were often constantly disturbed by pheromones during battle.

But pheromones had no effect on Damian at all, because Damian had such great ability to control his body.

‘His physical abilities were formidable, but his movements were equally simple.’

Sla’s speed and destructive power were unparalleled, but since he had not learned the martial arts, his attacks were bound to be monotonous.

Thanks to this, Damian was able to read all of Sla’s movements and prepare for them in advance.

‘Weapon Master won’t be that easy.’

Weapon Master was a master class that had already overcome numerous barriers.

It was technically complete, and it was possible to create variables using the magic sword.

‘I must become stronger to face the Weapon Master.’

Damian thought of the Dragonheart contained in the subspace.

That alone was a bit disappointing. I needed an elixir that would further enhance Damian’s abilities.

‘I wish I could get more pieces of Erebos if possible.’

If Erebos’ power had become stronger than it is now, he would have been able to turn the battle with the Weapon Master around in an instant.

‘Where can I get more pieces… … .’

While Damien was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Damien got up and opened the door, and an unexpected guest appeared.

“Elder?”

The blacksmith was standing in front of the door.

Blacksmith suddenly hugged Damien and laughed loudly.

“Hahaha! You crazy bastard! I didn’t know you’d kill Sla!”

Blacksmith hugged Damian in joy. And only after a while did he let Damian go.

“How did someone so busy come all the way here?”

“I heard that Slaa died, how could I just sit still? I came running right away! There are so many things I want to ask you, I’m dying!”

Blacksmith pounded Damien’s back hard.

“But who is the person behind you?”

Damien asked, looking at the man standing behind the sword. The man was wearing a black robe that covered his head and face.

“Oh, this guy… … .”

A look of confusion appeared on the blacksmith’s face for a moment.

“I will introduce myself.”

The man said, taking off the robe that was covering his head.

The first thing that caught my eye was the silver hair that seemed to have been spun out of moonlight.

It wasn’t just the hair that was unusual. The man’s skin was a pure white with no noticeable color.

“My name is Eos.”

The man said, staring at Damien with blood-red eyes.

“It is also called the Imperial Japanese Sword.”
