98 – The End of Netorare
“Damn it! This… How did this happen? “Why on earth is this happening?”
General Lare lets out a sound that is close to a scream, caught in confusion amidst dying Imperial soldiers everywhere.
General Lare could not help but feel even greater despair than others at this situation, which was going so differently from the plan he had known.
“No way… Could it be that I was deceived? “In the end, this was all the rebels’ plan to catch us?”
A possibility that came to mind late.
However, General Lare was unable to do anything other than look at his dying ally, screaming at the fact that he had learned too late.
At that moment…
“!! “Wow!!”
A sharp pain suddenly felt in the back.
As a result, General Lare’s body fell to the floor.
Immediately after that, the image of a person began to appear in his eyes.
That is the very entity that gave him a humiliating defeat in the past.
It looked like a Mokh woman with green eyes.
“You… you… “
“Thank you for your hard work. “Thanks to you, we won.”
“This… interest… ceremony… How dare you… How dare you guys kill me!!!”
“Goodbye.”
“!! “Kuhuhuhuh!!”
With those words, the dagger strikes without mercy.
Finally,
Lare, the general of the empire, was left to breathe his last breath.

The imperial army is being divided helplessly.
Looking at them, I began to smile, happy that our plan had worked out perfectly.
With this, the British Imperial Army in southern Britain was virtually annihilated.
Fortunately, the Imperial Navy under Nelson’s command is maintaining its posture without any major damage.
In a situation where the army has been annihilated, it is impossible to turn this situation around with their own efforts.
In other words, the defeat of the British Empire in this war was certain,
All that was left for me was to enjoy the rest of my life leisurely as one of the leading figures who led the victory.
‘Just one thing… The problem is that the quest left by this god or something takes forever… ‘
From my perspective, I thought it was actually the end…
The contents of the quest somehow gave me the feeling that there was something behind this.
A story about telling me to build a nation of God or something.
Although my reputation should increase by succeeding in this operation…
Apart from that, establishing a country means another rebellion… Or it could be said to mean confusion.
‘Honestly, I don’t really like the process, but… Considering what I’ve done so far, maybe this could actually be a helpful path for me.’
Although I was trying hard to ignore it, I was already well aware that my deputy, Jane, was expressing something similar to religion, calling me God’s representative and all, and that there were quite a few people who were fooled by her instigation(?) And became my followers.
Moreover, the rebels, who had been in a disadvantageous situation until now, have been on a roll since I came here.
Even if it wasn’t just because of Jane’s faith or Munich’s religious talk, there were definitely a lot of people who objectively supported me.
Although I did not intend to do this, I had a fairly solid base of support, and furthermore, my lover Franklin was also the daughter of Congressman Benjamin, who had considerable power, so I could aim for the presidency if I wanted to.
And of course, my situation would inevitably be an object of caution to various generals and lawmakers within the rebel group.
Although General George had a strong feeling that he was not paying much attention to these matters, he also had ample room for anxiety and doubt to arise in his mind as he listened to the stories of people around him, and like Neto later, he could not help me in any way. There was a high possibility that they would attempt to purge him.
‘In that respect, it would be better to bite first before being bitten… ‘
From the beginning, I never had any intention of becoming something great.
All I want is to live a leisurely life, enjoying movies with the women I love.
I had absolutely no interest in power or anything like that.
I had no intention of getting into a useless mud fight because of that.
However,
The more I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion that whether I wanted it to or not, the path I had to choose was already half decided.
‘As expected… Have we already gone too far? Now I can’t move as I want… ‘
While I was thinking that this god was a very cunning guy in many ways,
I couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh, feeling a bit of despair.
At that time…
“Huh?”
The next moment, I suddenly felt something unusual.
As if something had fallen from a corner of my heart,
The feeling of instinctive repulsion and concern mixed together.
As I felt deep anxiety, I went to the place where the person who started to appear in my mind at this moment was.
I began to think that I had to go to where Franklin was.
‘What on earth is going on? Why… Why do I feel this way… ‘
I didn’t know the exact reason.
However,
I have never felt this way in my life,
From Noble mtl dot com
It happened only once in my entire life.
It is… Before I came to this world,
The day the person I cherished more than anything else left.
At the time it happened, there was no basis or reason.
That empty feeling, as if something had happened, still remained like a bruise in a corner of my heart.
And at this moment,
Feeling that trace hurting again.
I led the soldiers and began to move urgently by driving the horses.
‘No… That’s right… That can’t be possible… How… How did you find love again? We’re almost there… I can’t lose you here… !’
An ominous feeling as if my heart was being squeezed and bursting.
In the meantime, I quickly arrived at the location where Franklin’s troops were attacking the imperial army from the rear.
And right after that…
The scene I see before my eyes.
The moment I saw it,
“!… “
I was unable to say anything for a moment, and my whole body felt as if it was frozen.
It is… An image that so clearly reminds me of a scene I saw in the past.
The scene where the woman he loved is lying on the floor covered in blood.
The moment it caught my eye.
“… “
For the first time since I came to this world.
I became obsessed with anger to the point where I lost my senses.
No words.
I couldn’t even think any more.
There is only one thing my body and mind can do.
That thing you see before your eyes…
Irreplaceable by anything…
All I wanted to do was destroy the entity that took away my precious things.
*
Liches have almost no reason.
It contains only feelings of anger and hatred.
Accordingly, they instinctively committed slaughter and simply moved forward endlessly toward the place where the target of revenge was.
But…
-“Cl… Laaa… ah?”-
At this moment, it is…
That Richie, who once bore the name Neto.
The feeling that even such basic nature is denied…
It is known to the Lich that it does not exist in the first place.
I became obsessed with an emotion called ‘fear.’
A being that radiates divine power to the extent that it appears from blue to black before your eyes.
The name of obeying God’s will is meaningless,
The pressure of it emitting an aura containing tremendous vitality.
The lich felt a feeling of fear crawling out of the depths of the abyss and began to take a step back.
This was impossible for Lich, who only moves forward.
However.
The sight of it emitting an aura like that, which is like a natural enemy to an undead like a lich, gave the lich a feeling he had long forgotten…
I don’t want to die…
No,
To be precise,
It made me feel like I didn’t want to disappear.
However.
“… “
-“… Crrr… ?! Big….Huh..Ugh!…”-
Regardless of Richie’s feelings, he stretches his hand forward.
At the same time, the terrible power of divine power was felt,
The lich began to struggle as if his neck had been grabbed.
-Chii Iik….!
A lich that quickly began to melt under the power of divine power.
In order to somehow escape this situation, the guy began releasing his magic power as he was caught up in the confusion.
But…
-“Keuuuh??!”-
A magic that is not used at all, despite his efforts.
The overflowing magic power that was incomparable to when I was alive was completely cut off.
Naturally, even magic based on this could not be used at all.
For a lich who does everything based on magical power, this is a very fatal situation.
In the end, Lich’s entire body, starting with his neck, will melt without even being able to resist.
From a monster with such great power, to a rotten lump of filth.
It’s finally time.
I let out a scream, calling out for the object of revenge that could not be achieved.
“Cl….La… Laaa…..”
