Night of the Soulless Heathens – 378



#378. Two Prophets 2

“Are you a prince?”

Azadin realized that the king of Arangi was a prince when Sram called him father.

“I am Prince Sram of Arangi. Count. I have always admired you because I have heard of your reputation but I cannot accept your recent outbursts. You are too young to be senile.”

“I apologize. But what I apologize for is the hasty attitude of my subordinates not my retraction of my claim to the throne.”

“That is the sin for which you should apologize. How could you say such a crazy thing in front of the Arangian guards….”

Sram put his hand on the hilt of his sword to strike Azadin but then.

A soft but strong glow of light appeared around Azadin’s body.

The expressions of the Arangian guards who had been laughing until just now hardened.

“uh….”

“That one.”

“The light of the king’s flower?”

The knights of the King’s Church use their powers based on the Book of the New King. However the King’s Church provides deteriorated copies not the originals to those who fail to become kings.

The power that Azadin is unleashing now resembles the power used by the knights of the King’s Church but anyone can tell that this is the real thing.

The true light of the King’s Flower. The Arangian guards were startled by the powerful white magic light but they remembered that their opponents were the soulless blasphemous members of the Herald Clan.

“No wait. The messenger clan leaked the New King’s Book!”

“Yes. A copy of the New King’s Book! Leaked by the Jeonryung Clan…”

“You’re trying to fool us with that now…”

“Do you really think so?”

Azadin looked at the Arangian guards and Prince Sram.

Prince Sram was sweating profusely.

He was a prince by name so he received the Shinwangjinseo that was passed down to the Aranggi royal family and was training. Because of that he was able to use various magic and powers… No because of that he could know for sure.

‘Isn’t it on a different level from me? No it’s the light of the king’s flower that is brighter than my father’s. How can this be?’

But if you think about it calmly it’s something you can understand.

Azadin didn’t come here with his troops for nothing. He must have come to occupy Coxhal. If that’s the case then he’s claiming the throne of Banreung…

There must be some basis for this.

‘Huh? The prince’s mouth is shut?’

‘Is it true? No way?’

‘A soulless blasphemer handles the light of the king’s flower?’

The Arangian guards all froze when they saw Sram’s expression.

But at that time only one person unknowingly took advantage of this situation.

*********

“Eww! Shut up! You crazy bastard! How dare you!”

Iteba drew his sword and rushed at Azadin. He had returned to secular life because King Arangi wanted to make him Viscount of Coxhal so he would be of no use if he could not obtain Coxhal.

It may seem like a good thing to be a priest of the King’s Church but it is equally difficult to have no support and no property. Now it is impossible to return to being a miserable priest.

Even if that were not the case for him who had grown up and received instruction in the king’s church it was an intolerable outrage for an impious person like Azadin to claim himself as king.

“….”

The Sram and Arangian guards pretended to stop Iteba’s outrage and quietly let him go.

“How dare you!”

Then the black nun next to Azadin moved like a whirlwind and grabbed Iteva’s leash in one breath.

The strength and speed with which a slender woman lifts an iteba with one hand is no ordinary thing.

‘A vampire? Or a half-breed? Then it must be Niselda of Chadra. How did you tame that monster like that?’

Sram recognized Niselda and stuck out his tongue. All of the minotaurs and half-vampires in front of him were people called Chadra Ogel and they were people that the Arangi Kingdom was keeping an eye on.

Because of the dwarf mafia that was part of Chadra Ogel the Naisandhokar region was practically abandoned.

The reason why the Kingdom of Arangi appointed Azadin as a count was not only because it was a border area that was difficult for Naisandokhar to touch but also because they highly regarded Azadin’s achievements in eradicating the dwarf mafia.

“Enough. Niselda.”

“yes.”

Niselda suppressed her anger and turned her head towards Sram.

Even though his eyes are covered by a blindfold his sharp gaze can be felt.

‘You noticed.’

Knowing that he had let Iteba go on purpose he silently protested.

‘Wow. You really tamed that Chadra Ogel? He seems genuinely loyal to you?’

Sram was inwardly surprised to see Niselda’s attitude toward Azadin always so pious.

“Prince you need some time to think don’t you? I’ll give you this book as a gift.”

Azadin handed over a small book from his bosom. It was so small that it was not really a book but rather a booklet made by folding a single sheet of paper and attaching a cover so that it could be stored for a long time.

“…This book?”

When Sram opened the book it had turned into a large piece of paper which at first glance seemed like a kind of declaration of precepts and will.

“New Testament Declaration.”

“New Testament Declaration?”

“This is the revelation I received from the spirits of Yaegasu.”

“Eww!”

The moment he heard those words Iteba writhed.

“This crazy bastard! He’s a heretic! He’s a heretic! This soulless blasphemous bastard has blasphemous ways!”

Prince Sram also burst into laughter when he heard that.

“Haha. Do you really think that I a descendant of the Yaegasu god would believe this?”

“A wise person would have no reason to reject this booklet right? Regardless of whether you believe it or not you will be able to see what I am thinking by looking at it. If I were you I would read it first and send it to King Arangi to report it to him and then prepare a response. Isn’t it because you are afraid that you are not accepting it?”

“fearful?”

“Yes. Just in case your heart wavers. If what I wrote is not the madness of a lunatic but truly contains a correct and definite meaning I am afraid that your faith in the King’s Church which is already faltering and losing its luster will waver.”

“…….”

Azadin’s words were cool. While claiming a miracle he did not come across as intoxicated by the idea that he was the main character of the miracle but rather in a cool and calm manner.

‘That’s definitely a statement I want to believe.’

But Sram shook his head from side to side to shake off the confusion.

“Well that would be if we weren’t the Arangian Guard!”

Prince Sram drew his sword.

There is no reason for Azadin to dismount from his hippogriff and accept such heretical books right in front of them. They should subdue him by force and excommunicate him for his wild words and the heretical books he has brought in.

There is no reason to hesitate as long as the cause is clear.

“Yes. A prince and an Arangian guard. Great. Oh by the way do you know what we call Aragasa?”

“I know. You soulless blasphemer.”

“No not that.”

“…King-slayer?”

“Yes. I have a knack for killing princes.”

At that moment Azadin rushed towards Prince Sram.

*********

“…….”

Prince Sram was staring blankly at the sky.

The clouds are drifting away.

It’s dark clouds. They’ve been appearing especially often lately. Yes. Has Fimbulbert’s prophecy come true? I’ve never seen snow in this southern region before.

But why are you looking at the sky?

Only then did Sram become aware of his own body.

A sharp pain that felt like my whole body was being torn apart spread through my temples and throughout my body.

It hurts. My whole body screams.

“uh.”

Only then did Sram realize that he had lost his memory and consciousness.

Apparently Sram lunged at Azadin but Azadin lightly jumped in and grabbed his hand.

You want to block the Arangian Guard’s weapon? Sram snickered and prepared to breathe lightning.

Now the true face of the Arangian Guard was a berserker with the temperament of an ancient dragon that only appears in legends.

The Arangian Guards wielding a halberd in one hand and a greatsword in the other swinging their swords as light as a feather as they charged and spewing dragon breath from their mouths to strike down their enemies boasted a power that could drive even those skilled dwarves into the Kerim Mountains.

Invincible in the field that was the pride of the Arangian Guard. But…

Azadin used Prince Sram’s strength to easily throw him away.

Flower Bird Wind Moon and Sun. Originally this magic was used to reverse gravity and make heavy objects float and then fall. It was not a magic that guaranteed to kill the opponent and it also consumed a huge amount of magical power.

But in Kazas you catch it and throw it yourself.

It was a primal force that no magical mystery could find but its speed and power were truly magical.

Prince Sram an Arangian guard was also experiencing this for the first time so he had no choice but to take it without any resistance.

The stone was so smoothly placed that it sank into the ground like a stone fired from a catapult into a castle wall.

With a loud noise Prince Sram fell to the ground and the other Arangian guards were blocked by Niselda and Selim.

“Oh my it’s hot. The Arangian guards are definitely not to be ignored.”

Minotaur Selim whose skin was scorched by the breath attack of the Arangian Guard grumbled and grabbed the Arangian Guard by the neck with his brute strength.

Although the Arangian Guards possessed incredible strength it was not enough to overcome the weight difference and Selim easily dragged the Arangian Guards and slammed them into the ground.

Niselda quickly evaded the Arangian Guard’s attacks and breaths and then thrust her sword into his mouth. She also subdued him in an instant without killing him.

‘It really is Chadra O’Gal.’

‘Oh my even the prince has been captured…’

The remaining Arangian guards were confused.

If you stall for time Azadin’s men will rush in. You will have to subdue them before then but the skills of the Chadra Oguls Selim Niselda and Azadin are extraordinary.

Two Arangian guards and Prince Sram were subdued.

Should we ignore their sacrifice and just rush in and subdue them?

Prince Sram who must make that decision lies fallen at Azadin’s feet.

furthermore….

“Ah! Count Azadin! What is it?”

When the hippogriff flew in Izmilla and her men came to check the situation.

They approached from the east of the Arangian Guards so although their numbers were small the enemy had appeared behind them.

“Could it be that the Arangians are attacking?”

Izmila who had a firm belief in Azadin immediately became suspicious of the Arangians upon seeing this situation.

‘Damn. I thought Count Azadin was a stickler even within the Knights of Salvation but we’re on good terms. The talk that giving him the title of Margrave of Naisandokhar would help to drive a wedge between him and the Knights of Salvation was just empty talk!’

Seeing Izmilla’s kindness towards Azadin Sram misunderstood that the other members of the Salvation Knights would also like Azadin to that extent.

Azadin smiled and handed the New Testament to Prince Sram.

“Now Prince Sram. Are you willing to receive the New Testament Declaration?”

Sram was lost in thought as he looked at Azadin’s face which was smiling brightly at him.

Are you forcing me to use a sword or a scripture?
