Even the elder dies
Fortunately, the dagger was a holy sword created by Hilde, and instead of leaving it in my stomach, it naturally disappeared when the time limit expired. Time was the culprit behind the missing dagger case! Well, well, it’s not even a small razor, I put a dagger in my stomach, and no one knows. It’s good, it’s good.
… A piece of anesthetic ampoule was lodged in the skin, but let’s ignore that. Could it be in your body? Even if there is, I don’t have the guts to open it again and take it out, so I’ll just live like I don’t have it.
“How are you feeling, father?”
“It hurts, but it hurts more… It’s strangely refreshing.”
This must mean that the quack is not incompetent. Even if the ending is poor.
Anyway, it is true that it has become easier to move around. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to sleep, so I decided to do a pastime I had planned.
The table just happened to catch my eye, unfortunately. I put the 8 of spades on the table, then rolled my fist and slammed it down like a stamp. Then the table was alchemized with a deck of cards equal to that thickness. All of a sudden, the cards that were no longer on the table scattered and fell to the ground.
Then, I slanted the next card.
7 Of spades, a skein of lightning. Take out the lightning thief’s demon and unleash the thunderbolt.
Threads of lightning extend from the skein of lightning. Like countless nets flowing through my body, scattered lightning bolts spread out in all directions and grabbed the card. As I grabbed the skein of lightning and pulled it, the cards that were about to scatter all flew into my hand.
Hilde asked after seeing the card moving by itself.
“Have you learned a new trick~? Is that the power of a demon god?”
“Well, that’s right. It’s not that great.”
I shuffled the cards and answered indifferently.
The golden mirror used alchemy to create a moving fortress, and the lightning thief even fired lightning at will. But all I can do is make a few cards or move the cards with minimal power. Why does everything deteriorate when I get it?
Well, this is just enough for a prank.
“Father, why do you collect demons? Where are you going to collect all of them and use them?”
“I don’t collect them for a specific purpose. It’s just instinctive.”
“Instinct?”
“Yes.”
Seonghwangcheong hid from humans knowledge that might endanger them. He called the knowledge that transcends the age a demon, and hid the prophet’s mementos in a crevice, causing knowledge to be forgotten.
But to hide something, you have to know what it is. The fact that Seonghwangcheong hid the Demon God itself meant that it had already belonged to humans. Even if you see the future, you cannot know it unless you understand it. If you understand, they will become human because they are human too.
But it is. Does it make sense to hide it only from my eyes? It all leaks out anyway. As in the nations, and in Claudia. Even if you don’t fully understand alchemy and lightning, someone uses it.
You’re supposed to find it in the end, cancer.
And when all the Demon Gods are found, when the human king, who was stagnant before the first year, catches up with mankind. Only then will I finish this heinous thing and become the king of beasts….
“Father?”
“Yes?”
“What are you doing?”
I was shuffling the cards ignorantly when I suddenly raised my head at Hilde’s question.
Dozens of cards were moving in the air. As I sweep the air in a circular motion, the card slides through the air as if my hand was extended. As you flick your fingers and shake them left and right, the cards intersect in a zigzag pattern and are shuffled one by one.
Humans have two hands. Five fingers on each hand. Due to its structural limitations, there were few ways I could shuffle the deck. However, the power I gained this time was rather miraculous, and I was able to control objects connected by lightning threads as if I were my own body.
Isn’t it strange when you think about it? After all, my body moves with the thread of lightning. Then it’s not normal, what.
“I am shuffling the cards normally.”
“To the point where I can’t even see it with ‘my’ eyes?”
“If you move to see everything, is that mixing?”
It’s true that it’s more complicated than before, but the mixing method is similar. I put my hands together as I folded my fingers that had fluttered a few times. The stack of cards formed a loop and was sucked into my hand. I tapped the deck and measured the thickness.
With this, 52 cards, the numbers are correct. Even if I can’t restore the contents, it’s inconvenient if the numbers don’t match.
“Is that normal for your father?”
“Many dexterity is an ordinary human power, right? This much is possible From my point of view, it is more amazing to transform by moving the body with qigong.”
“What if your father had a cold ball? Then, can my father transform like ‘me’?”
There is no reason to tell the truth. But there was no reason to lie, so I answered honestly in my heart.
“Well, I don’t know because I’ve never done it before. If I have enough ability, I can do it like Hilde, right?”
“If ‘I’ can do it, my father can do it too. Because my father is the king of humans.”
Hilde muttered as if possessed by something about her.
“I understand now. ‘My’ acting was nothing. ‘Me’ is fake. The king of men could really be anything. Because he is the king of humans. He is also the king of beggars, prime ministers, and emperors.”
“Just because I was their king, I never really tried to be them.”
“It doesn’t have to be. Being able to do it is important.”
Wouldn’t it be more important to ask me if I have the will to do it first?
I don’t know what the heck I’m expecting, but Hilde asked me subtly as I pretended not to know, although I actually knew.
“Father, by any chance….”
“Whew?”
It was then. Without a sound or sign, Tyr opened the door and appeared. I looked disapprovingly at Hilde, who was with me from the inside.
“I gave you a separate room, but are you bothering me by visiting an injured Hugh?”
“Why is that? We went together for a long time anyway. Besides, my father would be friendly too, so I was talking to him!”
“Choose the time and place. Since you came to the principality, you too must obey the laws of the principality.”

As soon as Tyr said, Hilde twisted her hair and pretended to be half-hearted.
“Yes, yes. By the way, I have a question. Is it okay for the principality to open the door and come in without knocking? Is this the guest room?”
The words were clearly aimed at Tyr. Tyr was a bit stabbed in his heart, but he answered confidently because he had a line he had prepared in advance.
“Because I felt a strange presence from inside, I had to take action for Hugh’s safety.”
“Ah, who is attacking the founder’s guest in the Mist Principality? No way! Does the attack Tyrkanjaka speak of mean something different?”
“Isn’t it possible that the Holy Sword Corps will come? Just like it was in Cloud Village.”
This was also clearly an insult to Hilde. Due to the successive events that happened there with Claudia, Tyr instinctively felt that Hilde was the holy sword belt. It was just that she was looking after Hilde’s move because it was far from her Holy Sword stand, but she was more wary than before.
“You who saved Hugh and called Valdamir to the Cloud Village are unlikely to be the Holy Swordsman…. Do you happen to know? The Sacred Swordsman, who hid his identity and acted, might be hiding in this Foggy Principality.”
The founder, Tirkanjaka, hates the Seonghwangcheong. The same goes for the Holy Sword. Vampires go to great lengths to deny their past, obliterate their present, and erase their future. Even if it was the entire Holy Sword, there would be no way to escape that wrath.
At least it’s not confirmed that Hilde is the Sacred Sword Belt, and since I also existed, I’m just waiting to see.
“If you are a non-vampire, but an outsider, you have nothing to say even if you are suspected, so be careful.”
In other words, she is just that. Tyr warned Hilde in her subtlety. Hilde let out a lament after noticing Tyr’s consideration and her vigilance.
“Cha-am~. I can’t even properly arrange filial piety tours.”
“Don’t worry. When Hugh is fully healed, I will guide you personally.”
Tyr finished his business and now told me.
“Rather than that, phew, didn’t someone go there a little while ago?”
“Yes. One, a doctor sent by the Red Blood Worker came and went.”
“Already?”
Tyr asked urgently.
“Didn’t anything special happen?”
“Without saying anything, he treated me and left. I’m not sure if it’s treatment or my talent show, but I do feel that my body has become lighter.”
“That’s right….”
‘If Valdamir sent it, it means that he judged it to be not dangerous…. It’s a bit different from what I’ve heard.’
What? When I read Tyr’s thoughts, my perception is slightly different.
The vampire I had read about, Lire, was not at all dangerous. Even when she cut my stomach with a knife, she didn’t feel threatened.
But Tyr was on guard.
“What is it? Were you an assassin who tried to kill me accidentally by sticking a blade into my stomach? If that’s the case, then I’d be stuck too.”
“No. Phew, if I’ve cured you, I’ve done my duty with that. We will have to look for him elsewhere.”
“Then it’s already too late. He says he’s going in the direction of Claudia.”
“To Cloud Village?”
“Yes. He said there might be someone there to treat him.”
Maybe it’s not too late now. Lildo lacks experience, but she’s like an elder, so if she eats her heart, she’ll be able to move in an instant.
Tyr muttered in trouble.
“Hmm. It’s colloquial.”
“What is it?”
“It is a secret of the principality, but… Phew, if it’s for you, I can let you know.”
No, if it’s irrelevant, you don’t have to tell me. I asked him about it, but Tyr was happy to take his interest and explained it to him.
“Ruskinia’s death was a top secret. It was something that only those in Ruskinia who were directly affected by Elder, who was the same, knew about it. I’m the only one who can rule over the Elder. So, I also have to reveal how Ruskinia died and avenge it according to that duty.”
“I don’t think being the founder is easy either.”
“It is the responsibility of the person at the top. Thank you for understanding.”
Tyr gave a small smile, then covered his mouth and said softly.
“… However, according to what I have heard and heard.”
When I was worried about what kind of story it was, I was wondering if I should read it first with mind-reading, Tyr delivered surprising information.
“The culprit who killed Ruskinia, an elder of the highest order, is that. Lire Nightingale… He said.”
It was medical misconduct?
Ofc the doctor is called Nightingale
