Chapter 93
***
“Death Knight…!”
Again, again.
The wizard of the magic tower was terrified and muttered.
News came that even the second-largest magic tower had collapsed.
The magic letter that came urgently said, ‘The base of our place has been revealed, so run away in a hurry.’
‘If you don’t run away.’
You die.
Everyone shared only one thought.
The number of the magic towers spread all over the continent was very large. Because the magic tower has a deeper history than the authority of power wielded by the ruler.
“Re, revenge?”
“But why?”
Someone asked, and everyone was confused.
Because it was in the base of the magic tower, which is considered the safest.
Actually, they couldn’t believe it.
In this way, the situation is being pursued to the chin.
Apart from the empire’s borders, the magic tower and Alperier have always waged wars for God in secret. Of course, it was a wizard war, one-sided hunting for the magic tower.
Alperier’s core personnel originally reached hundreds, but now they had been killed all but a few who are more than masters.
However, due to the sudden appearance of the Death Knight one day. The situation has been reversed.
‘Even if there is only one person.’
The place where the Death Knight passed was where the magic tower had collapsed. They didn’t even know who she was. If it’s a characteristic that doesn’t have any characteristics of simply killing without being revealed, that’s the characteristic of ‘Death Knight’.
An unknown fear engulfed them.
The face of the magic tower, who had been devastated one after another, was now unable to accept that it was their turn.
“Hurry up!”
“What about ‘these’?”
“First of all, let’s survive and think.”
He believes in strength, but his life was the top priority for the magic tower.
When the Death Knight appears, everyone dies.
It is a principle that is ingrained in the mind like an absolute proposition.
No one knows what Death Knight looks like. Because all the people who saw it are dead. Death Knight never leaves any witnesses.
Underneath the magic tower were the results of the experiments they had built up. But the moment they hesitate, they know that death will be the only thing.
‘It doesn’t make sense that there’s only one Death Knight.’
Among the wizards rushing in panic.
One of the oldest wizards looked into space with hopping eyes and thought.
‘I’ve never seen it, but how do we know there’s only one Death Knight?’
All of a sudden, his whole body hardened with a detailed fear that made him numb.
The old wizard has lived far from fear.
Because he was always in the position of an absolute strong man, even the nobles used to fear the magic tower.
As he trampled on the weak, he couldn’t even empathize a little, and he couldn’t understand what it felt like to be ‘weak’.
‘I’ve never seen it before.’
However-
The wizard’s thoughts did not continue. Because something passed by in an instant.
The trajectory of the sword was already transcendent.
Absolute power beyond human limits. When their eyes met, only death awaited them.
It was a luxury for them to even afford to close their eyes properly.
A perfect sword, without hesitation.
Soon there was blood all over the place.
Breeze.
Dreamy ash-blond hair fluttered down into the air.
Charlize wiped her cheek with a fresh face.
Just soft skin.
Fortunately, there was no drop of blood.
Death Knight, the identity of the existence that drives everyone to fear.
Of course, it was Charlize Ronan.
Charlize.
“…”
Charlize walked away.
Those whom the wizards called ‘these’ were gathered in one place.
Even the magic of evil gods was not enough, so they were wizards who extracted civilians with magic powers.
It was greed that frowned. Struggling to become stronger, sacrificing innocent people.
A cool glance swept the underground.
There was no living interested party from the magic tower.
The civilians were still alive, but they were worse off than dying.
As Charlize approached, someone looked up and said.
“Please… Just kill… me.”
The sobbing voice was an earnest wish.
Even though he knew it would be his last tears, his desperate eyes turned towards Charlize in the end.
She knows that pain. The fact that it is already irreversible, that he will be suffering in pain for the rest of his life and then he will die.
Charlize, who had killed all of the wizards of the magic tower, firmly clasped her hands stretched out in the air.
“You were. a human being.”
I will never let you die in vain.
Charlize added kindly, bearing the weight of the civilians’ last empty wish.
Someone had to take responsibility for this tragedy. And Charlize will ask the magic tower to take responsibility for it.
Tears streamed down faintly with gratitude.
Charlize put an end to his pain.
Gulp.
Meanwhile, looking back at Charlize’s face, Payne gulped down.
It was force majeure, that he could notice.
Charlize’s face is cold and grim, as opposed to the gentle one.
When Charlize often made that expression, Payne, who had been watching her for a long time, grew tired of fear. He couldn’t get used to it.
‘Even though she’s a real piece of Ehyrit.’
Indeed, it is a skill that cannot be seen as a human skill.
Charlize, who was kind until the end, stood up from her seat.
Now there was really only death all around.
It was a familiar sight to Alperier, who followed Charlize, but they also thought it was unrealistic every time they saw it.
“Didn’t Death Knight do a great job today too? Her performance is endless.”
Payne said it to lighten up the mood, but Charlize had no expression.
‘Gosh, is she angry?’
Was his playful voice too much in front of Charlize, who took the weight?
Payne kept his mouth shut.
The other people in Alperier only looked at Charlize.
‘Three years ago.’
Unbelievably, Charlize had defeated all the Alperiers who had conflicted with the battle.
After winning everyone, Charlize naturally rose to the position of the head.
Originally, there was no representative. It ended with just sitting in the upper seat and looking down at everyone.
“Are you going to follow my orders now?”
Then, when she asked just one thing, Charlize smiled softly.
It was a very natural domination.
Everyone bowed their heads.
“Yes.”
“I’ll follow you, leader.”
It was as if the instinct of servitude was flowing through the veins. They did not dare to disobey Charlize.
Everyone could not guess what Charlize meant, but they obeyed her thoroughly. Later, following Charlize’s orders, everything was destroyed.
It was possible with just seven people.
All those who were chosen directly by Charlize survived. They were proud to be Charlize’s closest aide to the point where they now even feel proud.
Only then did they deeply understand Payne’s praise.
Charlize was the genius of the century whose existence itself was a foul. An existence that is the most miraculous variable itself, breaking all common sense and rules in the world.
Charlize ruled in just a few weeks.
She terrorized the magic tower, which she was hunting as if she were enjoying the Alperier.
It was absurd and crazy.
‘Unbelievable performance.’
However, due to precise calculations, accurate knowledge as if she had seen and known for a long time even though it was her first visit, and Charlize’s instructions as to know and move in the future, all the goals that seemed impossible were accomplished.
Therefore, Charlize was called this.
‘Death Knight.’
A perfect Saint,
Who presents only death.
Now, the seven people, including Payne, were called Death Knight’s corps commanders.
‘I only thought it was great.’
No matter how much he looked back on the past when he was confronted with the magic tower, the difference between before and after Charlize appeared was very different.
The distinct change was as unreal as the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Around Charlize, who gave off an unrivaled presence, Death Knight’s corps commanders instinctively held their breath.
‘I got goosebumps.’
Payne looked at Charlize stiffly.
From the first time he saw her, he thought she was crazy. But he never thought she’d be this genius.
Even now, already. It’s because the magic tower was destroyed several times with the trajectory of Charlize’s sword.
But, as if it was natural, Charlize immediately gave orders with an indifferent face.
“Return.”
“Yes.”
No one dared to vomit at Charlize’s words.
Charlize turned around.
When their eyes met, Payne reflexively lowered his gaze.
Now, even this bending was taken for granted in front of Charlize.
***
‘The hidden magic tower.’
In the leader’s room left alone, Charlize was thinking about the magic tower.
Alperier’s home base changes every time, but the fact that Charlize was given the most spacious and best room was always the same.
The magic tower had an official tower and an unofficial tower.
‘Since I cut off the limbs, when I cut the head, which is the key.’
However, the hidden magic tower, shrouded in a veil, so it was very difficult to find.
For a moment, Charlize fell into emotion.
Three years later, Charlize was living well without Dylan.
At first, she was worried that it would be painful if she left her beloved lover. Surprisingly, it was very fine.
She spent time doing what she had to do.
In the first year, she hoped Dylan wasn’t a real piece of Ehyrit, and that Charlize wasn’t an evil god, but it was useless.
In the second year, she got a sense.
Hearing the news of Dylan I, who had united the continent in three years now, Charlize finally convinced herself.
‘Dylan is the real piece of Ehyrit.’
Such a ridiculous achievement is possible only because Dylan is not a simple human being.
Didn’t we already witness it before the return? Dylan, who showed outstanding genius in every field.
Of course, Payne thought he showed such an outstanding ability because he was Dylan, who Charlize taught.
[Of course, since his master is excellent, so the disciple is also excellent.]
It sounds right, but it wasn’t accurate.
But it was a relief.
Charlize continued to hide her identity from the Alperier.
Alperier went anywhere else now, but only the Blade Empire they didn’t go. Charlize also did not hear from the Blade Empire.
Now the whole world was in the form of several kingdoms under Emperor Dylan. Everyone obeyed Dylan.
The reason she stopped thinking was because of Derian’s urgent voice.
“Excuse me, but I’ll go in, leader!”
Charlize’s gaze shone coldly.
Perhaps at this point, Charlize should have noticed the cover.
“Leader!”
The door suddenly opened.
It was rude without knocking, but from Derian’s expression, Charlize noticed the urgency of the situation.
Three years ago, he was the first to aim his sword at Charlize. Now, Derian was the commander of the Dark Knight’s corps who was more faithful than anyone else.
“What’s going on?”
When Charlize asked, Derian hurriedly reported.
“Something big happened.”
Derian took a deep breath.
“The news is that Dylan I, who has united the continent, wants to open the imperial treasury to the wizards of the magic tower and support them.”
