chapter 301
301 – Scene 301# Oblivion
*
[Entering the 317th episode!]
After several attempts, I was able to take full control of the Ruelberta family.
It was not a very easy process.
Even within the Ruelberta family, it took dozens of rounds just to distinguish between those who would stand on my side and those who would be my enemies.
In the process, I went to war with my relatives and suffered hardships, but I repeatedly returned and succeeded in purging them all.
As soon as the episode started, I released the ‘black dogs’ and purged all the enemies within the family. Now there is no one among my relatives who can rebel against me.
Later on, there were ugly rumors going around that it was a bloody purge, but it didn’t matter.
Because everything was done to save this world.
After taking control of the family, I immediately invested a huge amount of money in Aslan. They spared no effort in providing support to create an army so powerful that it was unprecedented in the entire history of the empire.
Power and wealth were, in a sense, true magic.
Aslan was now trying to transform from a private army of a strong noble family into a legion capable of waging war with neighboring countries.
If things continue like this, maybe… Wouldn’t it be possible to grow to the point where players don’t fall behind? Isn’t the day when we can truly save this world not far away?
I even had some expectations like that.
Until they interfered.
“Count Ruelberta. “I will arrest you on charges of conspiracy to commit rebellion.”
Those who suddenly were attacked knights wearing red armor. It was a unit under the emperor’s direct command and the royal guard that protected the imperial family.
Let alone the fact that they showed up here, they’re going to arrest me? Moreover, the reason was absurd.
“What is mine?”
“Yes. Please submit to the investigation obediently.”
Marco, the head of the SS, nodded his head.
I asked back at the truly absurd charge.
“… “Is there any evidence that I am plotting a civil war?”
“The proof, Count, is the enormous number of soldiers you are training.”
I was amazed by his confident words
“Don’t be absurd. “This is a force prepared to fight the devil.”
“Preparing so many troops to fight the devil who might appear at any moment? That can’t be a sufficient explanation. Count.”
The reason for organizing this amount of troops was, of course, to block the players. However, since there was no way they would believe that, they were told to those around them that they were troops to fight the devil’s army.
However, the imperial family, which is in a hostile relationship, seems to have interpreted my actions completely differently.
“… So what do you want to say to me?”
“Come with us and undergo the investigation.”
The Emperor’s confidant and Leon’s son, Captain Marco, informed me in a stern voice.
The truth is that they concluded that I had plotted a civil war and came to hold me accountable.
‘Anger’ boiled over.
What crime are you saying I committed?
I am fighting for you.
I shed a lot of blood for you.
I suppressed the urge to scream.
‘Okay… ‘Is this how you guys come out?’
No matter how much I appeal, they won’t know. No, I won’t even try to understand. Just because I’m a villain and because I’m Tristan, they’ll think I’m plotting something.
‘Pride’ stirred.
“What if I don’t accompany you?”
“There was an order from His Majesty to be summarily punished if one refused.”
Marco was ready to draw his sword at any moment. The SS knights who came with him were also glaring at me with a murderous attitude.
In addition, the dust raised by the horsemen could be seen a few hundred meters away. Considering that they even brought the imperial army with them, it seemed like they were willing to fight against us.
But it was laughable to me now.
“With only that many people? Are you going to summarily dispose of me here?”
“Yes.”
“That’s interesting. If you want to try it, give it a try. ‘Deal with it.'”
“?!”
Well-!
With the eerie sound of something being crushed, two SS knights appeared in the air. No, it didn’t come to mind. It was lifted.
“Whahaha! The quality of the Royal Guard knights has also deteriorated a lot!”
A giant in black armor appeared from nowhere, grabbed the heads of the SS knights, and crushed them.
The knights of the SS who were suddenly ambushed were overwhelmed by the presence of a man who suddenly appeared before their eyes.
The one who could barely open his mouth in this situation was Marco, the captain.
“You…”
“Oh, I’m sorry. The introduction is late. “I am Aslan’s leader, Wily.”
Wily said, casually throwing away the SS knights he was holding in his hands.
“He is the one who will kill you who pointed a sword at the Count.”

Pugh-!
“S-No way… You… Why…”
“Forgive me…” ” .”
The Emperor of the Empire, Luna May Kahel, collapsed, spitting blood from her mouth. Her eyes, which were wide open in astonishment, contained emotions such as surprise and sadness.
I looked down at that figure coldly.
“Good work. Marco.”
Marco, the captain of the personal guard, looked at me with empty eyes. In his hand he was the dagger that stabbed the emperor.
“I had a hard time taking care of a spoiled child.”
“…”
Marco Peirigris, a machine-like man who doesn’t look like a single drop of blood will come out even if you stab him. It was not difficult to get him to move as he served the emperor closest. Because I knew Marco’s vices.
“I guess even you, the cool-headed and cool-headed person, couldn’t help but feel the affection of blood relatives.”
“My younger sister… What happens to my sister now?”
“Rest assured. In the name of Tristan, I will cure her illness.”
Marco’s younger sister suffered from a rare incurable disease that caused problems with her magical system. The only hospital in the empire that could treat patients with such incurable diseases was the hospital affiliated with my own Maykahel University.
Using her treatment as bait, I slowly grabbed and shook Marco. And when the time was ripe, I ordered him to assassinate the emperor.
Lucy Meikahel, the emperor who was betrayed by Marco whom she trusted so much, died without even thinking of using the instant death spell.
“Is it… I get it… “I will gladly accept the punishment of assassinating Your Majesty.”
Marco knelt in resignation in front of the emperor’s body, which was starting to become stained with his blood.
“Heh…”
I burst out laughing.
Because the sight of him selling his master his his for his sister’s life his his his was so funny.
Why risk your life for such a blood relationship?
It’s a feeling I will never understand as I don’t have any brothers or sisters.
“… ?”
The laughter suddenly stopped. I felt like something was stirring inside me.
In particular, the words ‘sister’ and ‘brother’ felt vaguely vague.
What? The emperor who was a thorn in his eyes he just died … Of course you have to feel good …
I was caught in doubt and immediately shook my head.
No… Don’t worry.
The only thing that matters is getting the players out of this world.
Because other than that, you can forget everything else.
[Entering the 359th episode!]
In this episode, even the imperial army joined in.
After removing the emperor, I placed a powerless scarecrow in his place and moved the imperial army.
The entire country literally fought against the players.
We succeeded in keeping the players at bay in a battle unprecedented in the history of the empire.
“Count. I really need to send a child like that into battle… ?”
Bella, dressed in armor, asked with concern in her voice. At the end of her gaze, a young boy was clumsily putting on his armor her.
“Can’t help it.” Because tomorrow’s battle is important for us. “At least one more soldier must be added.”
“I know that, but this is too harsh. Not only that boy but also the elderly were mobilized…”
“Don’t be weak. Bella.”
I spoke to her in her stern manner.
“Did you forget? “The survival of this country depends on tomorrow’s battle.”
“Tsk…”
The humiliating defeat that occurred in the last episode, and the faces of those who died then, were vivid in my mind.
And Bella was one of them. She fought with me in every round until the very end. After witnessing her death several times, I made a promise.
He said he would save her at least in the next episode. I will try to save this world. I will do anything to save everyone.
“Anyone who can hold a sword will be considered capable of fighting. Even young children are no exception.”
“But…”
“No matter how young you are, you can at least act as a shield.”
“Count?! “You are saying too much!”
“I was just stating the truth. To win tomorrow’s battle, we must make any sacrifices. Think about it. Bella. If we lose the battle tomorrow, that child’s future will also disappear. Isn’t that something you also don’t want?”
At those words, Bella finally lowered her head.
“In the end, nothing has changed about the man you are… Count.”
“What?”
“You’re a little… I thought it would have changed a little bit… I guess I was mistaken all along.”
“What is that…”
“I have. Count.”
Bella looked up at me with transparent eyes. She was trembling slightly, feeling like glass that could break at any moment.
“I ignored all the ugly rumors surrounding you. I thought those rumors about you killing your relatives or being behind His Majesty’s assassination were all just nonsense made up by people who hate you. You’re not that kind of person… “I believed it.”
Why are you looking so sad?
“However… When I see you these days, I lose confidence. It seems like the you I believed in has become the you you were rumored to be…”
“Bella. I just… !”
“I wish you good luck. Count. We… I will definitely meet you alive.”
Bella left with a bitter smile.
As I watched her disappear on her horse, I was overcome by an inexplicable sadness.
And sadness soon turned into ‘anger.’
“Damn… !”
I threw the helmet I was holding on the floor.
I think this is all because of someone.
I know who I am doing this for.
“You guys don’t know anything… !”
I became madly resentful of her.
It was all done to save you.
Why don’t you know that?
[Entering the 359th episode!]
We had to taste the bitter taste of defeat again due to the army of guys led by players who had repeatedly leveled up.
[Entering the 363rd episode!]
It was written in the diary.
I need strength. We need more power than we have now.
You need enough power to overwhelm those who have leveled up.
And all those who interfere with that must be eliminated.
[Entering the 384th episode!]
Everyone died.
I failed again.
What is the problem?
Why do I keep failing?
I feel like I’m going crazy.
[Entering the 399th episode!]
And everyone died.
I became alone again.
[Entering the 423rd episode!]
I am… What should I do?
What should I do…
How can I survive?
Someone please answer.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a world on fire.
“Ahaha…”
As I looked at the island engulfed in flames, I burst into laughter.
It was somehow refreshing.
The sight of those who looked down on me and tried to slander me screaming in pain in the fire.
Okay. It should have been done this way from the beginning.
This crazy world filled with all kinds of anger and hatred should not exist. It must not persist. It deserves to burn. It deserves to return to ashes.
And my beautiful fiancée, those who believed in me and followed me, this country, and my cursed family… Everything had to disappear.
‘How ever…’
Fire spread to my arms and legs. Even while I was burning alive, an unknown question remained in my head.
‘What am I for…’
Grumbling…
‘What have you been living for?’
A pillar of fire swallowed me.
‘What did it exist for?’

[Oppa.]
I closed and opened my eyes several times.
But the strange message was still floating before my eyes.
“…What? Magic?”
[Come to your senses.]
I suddenly frowned.
How dare you ask anyone to come to their senses.
“Don’t speak informally.”
[Did you forget? We decided to let go.]
“… “I never decided to talk to anyone.”
[I’m sad.]
“Whatever…”
This is truly a cheeky message.
You would be shocked to know that I am the most infamous person in the country, Tristan Ruelberta.
I’m probably going to wish you all the best. But it was too late to pray by then. Because I will never forgive the person who played such a cheeky prank.
No, that aside…
“Who are you?”
[… ] ] … ]
The mysterious message paused for a moment, and then a new message was written.
[It’s me. Conch. Brother, younger brother.]
