Night of the Soulless Heathens – 372



#372. The King of Blasphemy 1

“oh my god.”

Aramis who was in the lead fell to his knees.

That’s not all.

The Celestial Knights who followed him also fell to their knees in shock.

“Oh my god!”

“Oh Holy Trinity Archangels!”

Some even fainted while calling out to the angels because unimaginable and blasphemous things were happening right before their eyes.

Before their eyes was an empty throne.

If that were the only thing everyone wouldn’t have been so surprised and desperate.

however….

“That’s ridiculous!”

“The throne the throne is broken!?”

The throne was shattered. The most horrible impiety the people of Hybris could imagine had been committed.

*********

As Azadin sat on the throne a divine and powerful power radiated out in all directions burning Manawidan to nothing but bones and wiping out the other vampires and their Nether followers.

This is the true light of the King’s Flower that the King’s Church has been talking about for a long time.

“ah!”

“Oh.”

Everyone was amazed by the magnificent sight.

Niselda and Bernard who had sworn allegiance to Azadin felt an indescribable joy as they confirmed once again that their choice was the right one.

Even Zebeck shuddered as he witnessed the birth of a great superman who would end his troubles.

Azadin is the true king and by serving him they will be saved.

however….

“This won’t do.”

Azadin rose from his throne in annoyance at this moment of great miracle.

Then isn’t the throne cracking?

“uh?”

The throne of the Yaegasu clan began to crumble before everyone’s eyes.

“omg?!”

Even Niselda who had sworn allegiance to Azadin was left speechless by this scene.

“This is blasphemy! This is blasphemy! As expected the Herald Clan is sitting on the throne!”

Edir was talking like a madman.

Jibek broke Edir’s arm and pinned him to the floor.

But he also found this situation difficult.

“What the hell happened Count Azadin!?”

“I don’t know either. This is my first time sitting here.”

“yes?”

Zibek was embarrassed. It wasn’t because Azadin was making such ridiculous excuses.

Until now Azadin has always been confident even when telling lies that are not true. He is a human who can deceive others whenever necessary.

Whatever training the Heralds had given Azadin he was a flawless liar a sharp blade that was the pinnacle of spycraft.

But surprisingly Azadin was looking away while telling this lie.

Anyone who looks at it will be able to tell that I am just picking up random nonsense.

What on earth happened?

It must have been a surprise to Azadin as well.

‘Oh my goodness. A human who didn’t even blink an eye when the Nether’s reaper descended is now turning his gaze away? What on earth did he do?’

Jibek sensed the gravity of the situation and glared at Azadin.

Azadin also answered in an uncertain tone perhaps realizing that his lie had failed.

“I sat on the throne because it kept calling me but it didn’t break.”

“What is that… Wait? The throne called you?”

“It may sound strange but it’s true.”

If that is true then Azadin is clearly the ‘rightful king’ that the King’s Church speaks of.

But why was the throne broken?

“Let’s escape for now. I’m worried that the light of the King’s Flower may have harmed Bishop Akenar.”

“…..”

Azadin had asked Bishop Akenar who had turned into a vampire not to commit suicide but to follow him and help with the administration.

I’m afraid that she might have been hurt by the light of the royal flower… In other words doesn’t that mean that the light of the royal flower that Azadin emitted didn’t just brighten up the throne room?

In fact the light of the royal flower that was emitted the moment Azadin sat on the throne spread not only to the heart of the Silk Mountain but almost throughout the entire Kingdom of Banreung but Jibek had no way of knowing how far that light had spread.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to show the others the scene of the broken throne Bernard. Please show me the way. I want to avoid the Celestial Fire.”

“Oh I understand.”

Bernard also puzzled guided Azadin along the way.

*********

The Celestial Fire Knights’ force was so great that Azadin and his party had to bypass the king’s secret passage to avoid encountering them.

And there were traces of the messenger clan passing through.

There is evidence that the messenger clan approached the king through here.

“Hmm… these are supplies. I should take them.”

Azadin retrieved the supplies the Heralds had left behind in case of an emergency.

The arrows and simple food bandages made by the messenger clan were supplies that Azadin needed now.

“Ugh ugh…..”

Edir with his mouth bandaged was still twisting his body as if he had a lot to say. Jibek stared blankly at Azadin while restraining Edir.

“What exactly happened?”

“I sat on the throne and it broke.”

Azadin answered as if it was no big deal.

“So the truth is. Don’t treat others like fools Lord Azadin. The fact that you sit on the throne must be known even to Celestial Fire. Isn’t it? The truth will come out eventually but shouldn’t we know the details before that?”

Jibek calmly tried to convince Azadin while calming down his excitement.

“The truth is… yes. The throne of Yaegasu chose me.”

“….”

If anyone were to claim to be the rightful king and occupant of the Yaegas throne the King’s Church would gladly have that madman captured torn to pieces and finally burned to death.

However Azadin actually manifested the light of the King’s Flower so his words are not empty.

“Then why did you refuse the throne?!”

“Because the throne of Banreung alone won’t be enough to save this world.”

“Huh? No what is that… So you broke it?”

“It wasn’t me who broke it.”

“Then the throne broke while you were sitting on it. Who broke it? Did I break it?”

“You’re excited Jeebek.”

“Aren’t you excited? When you sat on the throne and the light of the royal flower poured out I felt like all my hardships and delusions up until now were rewarded. Oh I have been living this miserable life cowardly just to see this scene! I was amazed and moved! And then the throne suddenly broke! Do you understand my feelings? Really?!”

“That’s right… First kill the voice. It’s echoing.”

Azadin was at a loss as to how to persuade the unusually excited Zibek.

“You are taking the easy way out. What is it that you do not like that made you step down as king? If you were truly called to the throne then you should have taken the throne of Banreung! Then the people may reject you because of your birth but for those who recognize you as king it would have been a perfect justification! We would have all become one under the king’s banner and overcome this crisis! What makes me angry at you is not only the fact that the throne has been destroyed and my expectations have been dashed but also your attitude of not taking it seriously! Count Azadin! What you rejected was a true miracle that any believer in the king’s church would have hoped for!”

“Jibek. I think you misunderstood. I didn’t reject the throne of Banreung right away because of my personal ideals or philosophy. Calm down for now. Oh right. I have to show you the New King’s Book.”

“yes?”

As Azadin concentrated his mind a halo of holy light appeared behind his head.

“…uh?”

The furious Zibek finally calmed down.

The light power emanating from Azadin matched exactly the light of the King’s Flower.

It was as if Azadin himself had become the throne….

“The moment I sat on the throne the entire Book of the New King was transferred to me. Now I am the rightful king of the Banreung Kingdom.”

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

Edir twisted his body in disgust.

However the light that Azadin emitted was the light of the kings of this land in the past showing off that they were divine beings before they fell.

Even the furious Zibek now calmed down and looked at Azadin.

“I understand. I understand that you did not destroy the throne in a half-hearted manner. Then what exactly happened?”

“The moment I sat on the throne I met the spirits of Yaegasu.”

“Eww eww eww!”

Edir struggled violently. Niselda looked at Azadin and pretended to slit her throat.

“don’t do it.”

“It’s a shame. It seems like there’s no benefit to keeping him alive.”

“Of course I think so too. But if you get your hands dirty trying to feel better you’ll find yourself increasingly unable to control yourself. The gate of justice is narrow and in fact no one can pass through it. If you lower the threshold for murder you can eventually justify killing all of humanity. Because no one will be able to pass through the high gate of justice.”

“Let’s continue the story.”

Jibek was more interested in hearing the story of Azadin’s encounter with the spirits of Yaegas than in Edir’s treatment.

“Yes. The spirit was a great and immense spirit that was one and many at the same time.”

“I trust you but you are saying things that make me want to burn you in the street right now.”

“What do you want me to do when you asked me what I wanted to hear? Anyway the spirits of Yaegasu congratulated me on coming this far. As a reward for my hardships and devotion they gave me the Book of the New King and told me to become the King of Banryeong and fight against Fimbulbert.”

“Good. But?”

“I asked if I had to guard Banreung.”

“….”

“The spirits of Yaegas told me that my body was already considerably damaged by the curse of my birth and that my life would end as a medium for the light of the king’s flower on the throne of Banreung. However it would be a glorious death and if I devoted myself to the world and proved that the promise of Yaegas was alive on this land I was promised that I would stand on their side after death and enjoy happiness in the afterlife. I was promised that I would ascend to heaven by the spirits of Yaegas.”

“town…!”

Edir who had been tied up twisted his body.

If what Azadin says is true it is truly an unbelievable honor.

Didn’t the gods promise Azadin to become a pillar of justice and later ascend to their side?

It is an incredible glory that even kings have not experienced.

“This is truly a kingly deed. It is an honorable thing. Even if I die I will protect the world with my mortal life and ascend to heaven. This is an honor that any believer in the King’s Church dreams of.”

“But I refused.”

For the first time Jebeck was able to understand a little of the mind of his master Lord Jecht.
