The Return of the Destruction-Class Death Knight Chapter 264

Episode 264: Stubbornness (2)

As soon as the Weapon Master appeared, the air became chilly.

A look of extreme fear appeared on the dwarves’ faces. It seemed as if the anger and ambition they had been burning with just a moment ago were a lie.

“Achilles.”

The Weapon Master opened his mouth. His voice was extremely thick and heavy, despite his slightly below average build.

“Why do you make things difficult for me?”

“I didn’t tell you. The more ingredients you have, the more perfect this furnace becomes.”

“Then why did you send them all the way to the city instead of just having your subordinates subdue them?”

“But since you prepared so hard for it, I wanted to take a look.”

“Is that the only reason you caused this mess?”

“The artisan’s aesthetics are complex. Please understand.”

Aquilo said with a smile. The Weapon Master clicked his tongue as if he was not pleased.

“Didn’t I say you shouldn’t kill me?”

“Please bring me here while I still breathe.”

The Weapon Master looked back at the dwarves.

Her green eyes scanned the dwarves. They trembled like aspen trees.

“The numbers are against us.”

The Weapon Master immediately spoke to the dwarves.

“I heard there’s a warlock working with you. His name is Victor the Woodcutter, I think? Where is he?”

“That guy, that guy isn’t here!”

Kilo barely managed to muster up the courage to shout.

But as soon as the Weapon Master looked at him, the courage he had forced himself to have evaporated in an instant.

“No? Are you saying that you guys came here by yourself? I don’t know what you’re thinking. Well, if that guy isn’t here, I have nothing to do with you guys.”

The Weapon Master spoke to the dwarves.

“If you surrender, kneel on the floor. Otherwise, I will cut off your arms and legs and drag you away.”

The will to live extends from the Weapon Master.

He was the closest thing to the top among the giants.

The murderous intent that such a strong person exuded was a weapon in itself.

Some dwarves were so frightened that they foamed at the mouth.

“… … Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Surrender? You’re talking nonsense!”

“I will kill you right here and now!”

But not a single dwarf surrendered to the Weapon Master.

He simply glared at the Weapon Master with a determined look in his eyes, as if he would rather die here.

“It’s become a nuisance. It is a thousand times more difficult to keep a bug alive than to kill it.”

The Weapon Master shook his head and muttered.

Then, one of the dwarves lifted up the ancient sun and shouted.

“Weapon Master! My son died because of you! Only you… …! Only you, I will definitely kill with my own hands!”

The dwarf hurled the ancient sun at the weapon master.

The ancient sun thrown by the dwarf flew away at incredible speed.

With the explosion, red flames engulfed the Weapon Master. A smile spread across the face of the dwarf who had thrown away the ancient sun.

But that smile didn’t last long.

The Weapon Master walked out of the flames as if nothing had happened.

“Is this the ‘Ancient Sun’ that you dwarves of the Comb Hammer Dwarves are so proud of? It’s more powerful than I thought. But it’s not powerful enough to reach me.”

The Weapon Master spoke, brushing the embers off his clothes.

“This, this monster!”

The dwarf threw the Ancient Sun again. The Weapon Master’s eyes grew stronger.

At that moment, blood gushed out from the dwarf’s wrist. His hand was severed while he was clutching the ancient sun.

“Keep, keep!”

The dwarf clutched his wrist in pain.

“You don’t think I’ll get hit by that slow attack again, do you?”

The Weapon Master said with a pitiful look on his face.

“You said I just needed to breathe… … so I guess I don’t need arms and legs.”

The Weapon Master’s eyes regained their strength.

The next moment, blood gushed from the dwarf’s knee where his wrist had been cut.

“Ahhh! Kkaaaak!”

The dwarf, who had lost one arm and both legs, fell to the ground. The dwarf struggled, blood pouring out from the severed parts.

“Why on earth was your wrist cut off?”

“Why, the Weapon Master was just sitting there?”

Confusion and fear spread like an epidemic.

No dwarf dared throw the Ancient Sun at the Weaponmaster.

“Just one person.”

The Weaponmaster approached the severed dwarf and picked him up by the nape of his neck.

At that moment, the Weapon Master discovered something strange beneath his outer garment.

The dwarf was wearing a vest made of several iron balls attached together.

It wasn’t underwear, and it wasn’t armor either. While the Weapon Master was wondering, the dwarf laughed intermittently.

“The famous… … Weapon Master… … is the first to be fucked… … by a dwarf… … It’s an honor… …!”

The dwarf pulled hard at the string that was hanging from his clothes.

At that moment, the vest exploded. All the surrounding buildings were blown away. Red flames shot up into the sky.

It was a power incomparable to that of throwing just one ancient sun.

“Ugh.”

Even the Weapon Master was pushed back by the explosion. One of his sleeves was completely burned off.

“Now! Cover!”

“For the ancestors!”

“For the city of hammerheads!”

All the dwarves flew towards the weapon master, simultaneously pulling on the strings of their vests.

A series of massive explosions occurred. The Weapon Master was instantly engulfed in flames.

“… … .”

Achilles looked dumbfounded at the sight.

“Suicide? Are you really crazy?”

“Are you crazy? We’re fine!”

Kilo screamed. All his subordinates threw themselves at the Weapon Master.

The only resistance force left in this place was Kilo.

“If you want to deal with a monster like Weapon Master, you have to make these sacrifices!”

Even a single master class was difficult to match with the dwarf’s abilities.

Moreover, the Weapon Master was a giant among the Masters who had overcome several walls.

The dwarves had no choice but to use surprise attacks to fight such monsters.

So the method chosen was ‘self-destruction’.

“You idiot! A Weapon Master can’t die from the Ancient Sun! This is just throwing your life into the trash can!”

“It doesn’t matter! That was just a way to tie up the Weapon Master’s hands anyway!”

Kilo took off his outer garment. He was also wearing a vest with an ancient sun attached to it.

“Our real goal is to destroy that furnace! If I can just get rid of it, I don’t care about my life!”

Kilo ran towards the brazier. For the first time, Achilles’ face distorted.

“Oh, no! This stove is not good!”

Aquilo had no combat capabilities. There was no way to stop Kilo’s self-destruction.

As the furnace approached, Kilo immediately tried to pull the rope.

At that moment, a red light flashed in the sky.

Something fell diagonally and pierced Kilo’s abdomen.

“Cough!”

Kilo collapsed on the spot in excruciating pain.

Kilo looked up, blocking the hole in his stomach. He saw a sword floating in the air.

It was no ordinary sword.

I could tell just by looking at the bright red blade and the eyes protruding from the hilt.

“… … Demon Sword.”

-Kihehehe! I’m glad you noticed!

The demon sword flew through the air and made a strange laugh.

-Master! I did as you said and stopped it! I said I stopped it? Me! This Bendal stopped it!

“Yeah, good job.”

A voice was heard from within the explosion scene. The Weapon Master was walking out through the flames.

The Weapon Master’s clothes were completely burned. However, the Weapon Master himself was unharmed.

Even though all the dwarves except Kilo gave up their lives, they were unable to inflict any damage on the Weapon Master.

“The destructive power is considerable. If it weren’t for the demon swords, I would have been seriously injured.”

Several magic swords were floating around the Weapon Master. It seemed like they were protecting him from the explosion.

“Damn… … So quickly… … .”

Kilo desperately tried to raise his body.

With all his men dead, he was the only dwarf who could destroy the furnace.

However, because the bad part of his body had been pierced by the demon sword, he had no strength left in his body.

I kept giving orders to both legs to get up, but they didn’t listen.

“Kilo, you foolish friend. This place is guarded by the Weapon Master. Do you seriously believe that this method will work on such a big shot?”

Kilo bit his lip.

Just now, I realized that even the panic I felt was an act.

Everything was just an act to satisfy Achilles’ base pleasure.

‘There must be some way… some way. If I can just get close to the brazier… … What about the men guarding the gate? If those guys come… … .’

Even though he knew it was impossible, Kilo placed his hopes on his remaining men.

That was when.

Footsteps were heard from behind. The Weapon Master’s men who had been guarding outside were entering the city.

“My lord, I have captured the enemies as you commanded.”

The subordinates had Kilo’s men in their hands.

In that short period of time, something had happened and his whole body was covered in blood.

“Thank you for your hard work. Give it all to Achilles.”

“yes!”

The men dragged the dwarves and threw them at Achilles’ feet.

“The treasures have arrived again.”

Achilles looked at the dwarves with a loving face.

“Ah… … Kilo… … This traitor… … is like… … .”

“You didn’t faint even after suffering such serious injuries. You’re so strong. I’ve decided on you.”

Aquilo picked up the dwarf and began to chant an unintelligible spell.

Then, several tentacles sprouted from the brazier. The tentacles pierced the dwarf’s body in one breath.

“Ugh!”

“It’s already painful, isn’t it? It’s just a drop in the bucket compared to what’s going to happen next.”

The tentacles began to glow red, and then the dwarf’s body was torn apart.

The muscles of his entire body were torn apart. All the nerves hidden inside were exposed. The pure white bones met the outside air.

“Ahhhh!”

Despite his appearance, the dwarf was still alive. He screamed in agony.

The tentacles pulled the dismembered dwarf towards the furnace, whereupon the dwarf’s muscles and nerves began to connect to the furnace.

“Kuaaaah! Aaaah!”

The dwarf’s screams grew louder.

It was a scream more horrifying and painful than the one when the body was torn apart.

“Achilles! Stop! I said stop!”

Kilo screamed in frustration. But Akilo didn’t even look away.

“Just wait quietly. After these guys are done, it’s your turn.”

Everyone was entranced by the sight.

The Weapon Master and his subordinates.

That’s why everyone didn’t realize it.

The fact that the darkness that has settled over the city is stirring.

That the city’s shadows are undulating like waves.

“huh?”

One of the dark knights realized this fact too late.

“Wait a minute, this isn’t… … .”

Green windows popped out from the shadows.

The sharpened blade pierced through the bodies of the dark knights.

They were all wearing armor, but it was no use. The spear blades were all engulfed in aura.

“Kwaaah!”

“Kaaaah!”

The dark knights were torn apart, spitting out their last words.

Dozens of dark knights were turned into chunks of meat in an instant.

“Skeleton?”

The Weapon Master shouted in surprise as he watched the skeletons walking out of the shadows.

But the surprise soon turned to joy. A smile appeared on the Weapon Master’s lips.

“Could it be… … you’ve finally appeared? That arrogant brat who dares to confront me?”

Darkness began to gather just in front of Kilo. Soon the darkness formed a single shape.

The moment he saw the figure, Kilo screamed in surprise.

“Victor… … ?”

A man wearing a mask.

Victor was looking down at Kilo. His indifferent gaze could not have been more welcome.

“Seo, could it be… … that you came to help… me?”

Victor slowly reached out his hand, as if to help Kilo up. Kilo hesitated and tried to grab Victor’s hand.

But just before he could grab her hand, Victor clenched his fist. And he slammed his fist into Kilo’s face.

“Hey, you shameless little dwarf. What are you going to do if you ruin the plan on your own?”

“Hey, wait a minute… …! Let’s solve this through dialogue!”

“Conversation? Conversation is good. But there’s a price to pay before that!”

Victor finally started stomping on Kilo.

“Phew, I feel a little better now.”

Only after stomping on Kilo for a long time did Victor look up at the Weaponmaster.

The Weapon Master looked at Victor with great interest.

“Weapon Master. It’s so damn nice to see you again.”

“Again? This is my first time seeing you? Where on earth did we meet?”

“Don’t try to force yourself to remember. I’ll help you remember it soon.”

At those words, the Weapon Master burst into laughter.

“This is funny. This is really funny. Who would have thought that there would be a warlock trying to oppose me now… … .”

Unlike the Weapon Master who was showing great interest, Victor was no longer looking at the Weapon Master.

It was only later that we discovered the huge brazier placed in the square.

“… … .”

The moment he saw the brazier, Victor’s expression hardened.

“… … You couldn’t possibly have created that horrible thing?”

“Oh, I see you know. Well, it’s impossible for a warlock not to know.”

Achilles stroked the brazier as if showing off his treasure.

“This brazier was made using the wisdom of our ancestors. It was made using very special materials. It was made by weaving together the flesh, bones, internal organs, nerves, brains, and souls of the dwarves.”

“Have you turned around?”

At Victor’s accusation, Achilles wiggled his index finger from side to side.

“It’s unfair to hear such things from a warlock. Don’t you also use souls and corpses?”

“Yes. But it is not processed like that ‘alive’.”

As a warlock, Victor could see the structure of the furnace at a glance.

Binds tens of thousands of living dwarves alive.

Connects both muscles and nerves to move as one living organism.

The dwarves who were used to build that furnace were still alive. They were suffering while alive.

There was no way it would be okay since the bodies of different dwarves were forcibly connected.

“Why did you make something like that?”

“Your question is a bit lacking in insight. Using this method, we can combine the talents of the dwarves used as materials into one. How great would it be if we could combine tens of thousands of dwarves into one and create a weapon?”

Victor’s mouth twisted, as if to say, “Is that the only reason you did this?”

“Kilo, did you already know?”

Victor asked the dwarf at his feet.

“… … I knew it. I saw it when I observed them from outside the city. All the city’s residents turned into that appearance.”

Kilo fell face first to the floor. He held back tears as he continued to speak.

“Victor… … I, no, we lied to you. We did not gather here to retake the city! What good would it do if we did? Our families… … our lovers… … and tens of thousands of our compatriots are already gone!”

The dwarves were not trying to reclaim the city in order to survive.

“Our goal has been the same from the beginning! To destroy that furnace and commit suicide!”

The idea was to reclaim the city in order to secure a place to die.
