Night of the Soulless Heathens – 147



#147. Quartz Throne 1

“I was the one who gave the stonemason the instructions.”

“You took a bribe?”

“Oh yes. But I accept all of this.”

The stonemason foreman trembled in thought as he felt the responsibility fall upon him.

“If that Kahsan is entering the castle he must have been preparing for quite some time.”

“yes?”

“That guy had a run-in with me last month so considering the distance from where he was last seen to here he must have put a lot of effort into preparing.”

Azadin clicked his tongue.

Considering the distance from where Kahsan appeared to the royal palace of Coral Sahar it is impossible for Kahsan to infiltrate alone.

Perhaps the Korasaar Bobusang Guild had already prepared the palace for work and had planned out a plan to infiltrate at any time.

However the king will also be watching Azadin’s actions closely now.

Mentioning or making contact with the Korasarr Bobusa Merchant Guild here would be tantamount to revealing that the Korasarr Bobusa Merchant Guild is a herald clan.

‘It’s tricky to achieve a certain level of performance while hiding Aragasa’s information.’

He must hide what needs to be hidden reveal what needs to be revealed and only harm the Arael tribe. It is a headache for Azadin to have to do this by improvising.

Then a soldier approached.

“That Azadin?”

“huh?”

“The secretary has contacted me to say that His Majesty the King has summoned you.”

“Okay. Where?”

*********

The place that King Ancestor IV of Corazon wanted to see was the entrance to the inner palace.

But the one waiting for Azadin there was the king’s nephew the knight Sir Aldof.

“Ha. I never thought something like this would happen.”

Azadin realized the situation when he saw that the soldier who had called him here was acting indifferent.

“You soulless blasphemous bastard. Do you dare to wander around the palace stirring things up here and there? I will not forgive you.”

“Calm down. Are you out of your mind? You forged the king’s order.”

Azadin argued but Lord Aldoff just laughed.

“If you die nothing will be known.”

“No you idiot. Seriously.”

Azadin looked around.

This knight is the nephew of Ancestus IV and thus holds a very high status in the king’s church.

I don’t know why he was targeting Azadin here but… Azadin could see right through him that someone had instigated him to do this.

‘If I ignore him and leave here because I don’t want to deal with him then the guy who instigated him will kill him right? And then I’ll be the one he met before he died…’

Azadin and this paladin fell into the trap together.

But didn’t the knight Aldof himself draw his sword without even knowing that?

“As a legitimate descendant of the Yaegasu clan I cannot tolerate you you soulless ugliness! But if you are a man then draw your sword!”

“Why me? I have no intention of fighting you. If you were a knight you wouldn’t have the will to fight and wouldn’t have even drawn your weapon…”

The moment Azadin said that the paladin stabbed Azadin in the heart with his sword. As a paladin he stabbed an empty-handed opponent with his sword.

But Azadin grabbed his sword with both hands and twisted it easily snatching the blade away.

“100 million?!”

Sir Aldov screamed like an idiot.

‘It seems that not all royals are strong. Compared to Jecht he’s not strong at all… No he’s the weakest knight I’ve ever seen.’

Azadin examined the sword and smiled bitterly. The entire blade was made of Azure Steel.

“It’s so expensive that you’re making the entire sword out of the steel that’s only used for making Cheonggangjeon. How much is this?”

“You insolent bastard! Hand me over! That knife….”

“Oh um. Okay I’ll give it back.”

Azadin drooled over the Azure Steel sword before handing it back to the paladin.

Although he coveted the item so much that he wanted to steal it a sword like this was a precious treasure even for a knight of royal blood.

“profit!”

When he actually returned the sword which he had asked for Sir Aldoff trembled in shame.

She doesn’t look young and seeing this makes me realize how much consideration people around her have for her as a member of the royal family.

“At that age you’re still a brat.”

“What?! Are you trying to insult me?”

“Yeah. You’re insulting me. Did you really think I was praising you? Anyway you’re no match for me so just stay still. If you come at me again I’ll tear your genitals out alive.”

“What? This kid!”

Lord Aldoff was horrified at his first royal humiliation but his stomach lurched as he thought that this guy might actually tear his genitals out while he was still alive.

Even royalty cannot survive without being shocked by the sacrum during swordsmanship training or other activities. Even a slight bump can be dizzying so it is terrifying to imagine what would happen if it were pulled out while alive.

While Sir Aldof was silent imagining his suffering Azadin looked toward the bushes in the inner garden.

“Stop it and come out. Stop digging useless traps.”

Then a young man walked out from the inner room. It was Zion Etar.

“Hmm you are truly amazing. You deserve to be called Arael-sama’s younger brother. Or perhaps it would be more satisfying to call you Kazas-sama’s disciple?”

Zion Etar walked out of the pouring rain and stood before Azadin.

“So you egged this idiot on?”

“If you say that while the person involved is listening what would that mean for you? First of all it’s not me.”

“First of all it wasn’t me? Then it seems that you guys were the ones who instigated it? More importantly Zion. Are you feeling a little better?”

“ah.”

Zion was taken aback by Azadin’s question. He suddenly felt embarrassed by Azadin’s question that seemed to be considering his condition.

In any case he betrayed Azadin as a member of the same Aragasa. Although he was not on Azadin’s side from the beginning it is clear that he acted shamefully as a proud member of the Etar bloodline.

“The condition is a bit like that.”

“Then are my colleagues safe?”

“I hope everyone is okay. I’m just worried because I’m so angry. But first I want to thank you. Azadin. For saving Elder Sebali.”

“….”

“You have treated Elder Sebali with courtesy so we will not harm your comrades no matter what happens. I swear it on the honor of Sion Etar.”

“Thank you.”

“So you really have no intention of changing your mind? Besides the fact that you are Arael’s younger brother it has become known that you defeated Elder Sebali. You will be respected among the Aragasa.”

“No matter what you say I cannot tolerate the summoning of beings from the Nether.”

“I see.”

It was when Zion had a bitter expression on his face.

-Shoot!

The heavy rain and wind began to intensify.

At that moment Azadin discovered arrows flying through the water. To his surprise these arrows were black steel arrows.

“Fuck!”

Azadin hurriedly pulled out his curved sword and swung it but the moment it collided with Heukgangjeon the curved sword shattered like a piece of candy.

Heukgangjeon went out and broke the curved sword and flew towards Azadin but Azadin blocked it with another weapon the Wendigo’s Dagger.

Fortunately the Wendigo’s dagger did not break and deflected the Black Steel Blade…

The impact was transmitted directly to Azadin’s arm. The hand holding the Wendigo’s dagger was torn off and blood flowed out.

“What what?”

“damage!”

Azadin crushed the foolish paladin Lord Aldof to make him evade.

The black steel sword that was once bounced off by Azadin flies back again twisting in the air like a living snake.

Among the magic of the messenger clan the yellow crane and white crane have tremendous power even when used on their own but when used on arrows they display incredible penetrating power. When used on black steel even rocks will fly through like butter.

Another Black Steel Sword flew in but Azadin pulled out another weapon along with the Wendigo’s dagger. It was the captain’s halberd head.

Since the dagger alone would not be able to overcome the force and would tear off his hand the moment he tried to block he held the halberd head like a tonfa to support the Wendigo’s dagger and tried to support the middle to add strength.

-Kang!

Sparks flew and the black steel beam bounced off. Azadin’s body was thrown back several steps and blood splattered.

The captain’s halberd head also ended up breaking.

“Ugh! I was using it well!”

But the black steel sword lost its strength and fell to the ground.

“Not only did he repel the Black Sword but he also protected the Paladin. That’s amazing. To think he went through all that trouble to save such an idiot.”

It was Nefty and Kahsan who appeared with bows in the pouring rain.

They were hanging another blacksmith’s pole on the bow.

“Hmm… Hey isn’t it too much to pour all that precious black rice cake soup on me a loser?”

Nephthy and Kahsan armed with black steel swords and Sion Etar who is not using his hands are also likely to be very powerful.

Still Azadin was confident that he would escape without being killed by them.

The problem is that if he runs away the paladin here will die and then they will frame Azadin for the paladin’s murder destroying their solidarity with Azadin.

“I can’t kill you Arael’s younger brother. I was originally going to shoot to kill that stupid knight but you stopped me.”

“Ugh… Literua! How did I….”

Lord Aldof the Paladin was horrified to learn that Nephthy was trying to kill him.

However she was called Literua. In other words it was Nephthy who disguised herself as the maid Literua and infiltrated the palace.

“Oh my goodness! Literua! I loved you. We even slept together!”

“Hmm.”

Kahsan coughed in vain.

“You two slept together? You the emperor’s messenger used a beauty trick?”

When Azadin asked Nefty waved her hand.

“No way. I’m sorry but the one who slept with you was Kahsan here.”

“What?!”

“The illusion worked well.”

“No what is that?”

Sir Aldoff looked at Kahsan in confusion. The muscular giant smirked at Sir Aldoff.

“….”

The color drained from Lord Aldoff’s face.

“Don’t give up. If you die I’ll be blamed for your murder!”

“I don’t want to live anymore.”

“You idiot! The messenger clan are soulless blasphemies aren’t they? That woman is also Aragasa. She’s the soulless blasphemie you hate so much!”

“But I still truly loved you.”

“I hate men but does it matter whether women have souls or not? No Nephthys. What on earth have you done?”

“I’m afraid you might misunderstand but I didn’t try that hard to seduce you. I’m just acting like this because I’m excited.”

Nephthy said looking disgusted that it would seem as if she had done something strange to Aldov.

“I had some fun with it.”

Kahsan reported this to Nefty.

“ah.”

Zion Etar who was listening also seemed bewildered by Kahsan’s words.

“Hey Aldov. Run away now. Quickly!”

“Ah ah ah…..”

“Run away quickly. If you just pass here and run to where there are people you can survive.”

“But I can’t run away like a knight…”

“Just a little while ago you surprised me with nothing. Why are you doing it again this time?”

“That that…..”

Sir Aldoff was causing confusion.
