Page stared blankly at what was happening in the room.
'What is that?'
A crimson wave spread out in a circular shape and swept across the area.
“Ugh!”
Even the strongest pirates could not withstand the waves and rolled along the floor.
Woof woof!
The cave ceiling shook and pieces of barnacles fell.
'That's ridiculous.'
She was a sorceress, and had a deeper understanding of erosion than most people.
'That's… a mental wave. It's not a power that humans can use!'
Duke Valencian stood in the middle of the hall, breathing heavily.
“Whoaah.”
He shook his large hands a little wearily, and large beads of sweat soaked his white hair and dragon-scaled cheeks.
At the same time, he smiled with satisfaction as if he had just finished a delicious meal, and his chest puffed out with satisfaction as if he had accomplished something.
Just watching the hands shaking off the dusty uniform was enough to relieve the tension.
“Ugh!”
“What just happened?”
“Everyone, get up! It’s not over yet!”
The pirates who had been rolling on the floor got up one by one.
They grabbed the weapon they had lost in flight and revealed it again.
“No. It’s over. You will pay the price for the evil you have done so far.”
Valencian shook his head leisurely.
The black robe that had been glowing orange was also hung, and black scales were attached to the waist.
Pagen soon discovered the basis for that confidence.
“That’s not even funny!”
The moment a captain-level pirate charged at him with a harpoon, his body was engulfed in flames.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Without warning, a flame burst out from under the skin.
“Ahhhhh!”
The pirate knelt on the floor like an actor in a play, and Valencian laughed at him.
“That’s not even funny? Are you laughing now?”
Page felt like she was having a nightmare.
Hwaruk! Hwaruk! Hwaruk!
All the pirates who were hit by Valencian's psychic wave had flames burning from their bodies.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Water, water!”
“Don’t turn it off!”
They scratched painfully all over their bodies, and some crawled into puddles of water.
However, the flames did not go out even in the water, and the pirate who jumped into the water had the rare experience of drowning and burning to death at the same time.
“Drowning in water and burning at the same time. You’ll have a lot to say to your friends in hell who have already gone!”
Valencian kicked the buttocks of the pirates crawling on the floor with his shoes.
“Hahahaha!”
He laughed like a madman for a moment, then picked up his sword, took on a serious expression again, and cut off the pirates' heads one by one in one breath.
Crunch!
He muttered, watching his head roll across the floor.
“Wait at the edge of hell. When that day comes for me, angels will take my hand and lead me to heaven. I wish I could see that sight.”
Page stuck out his tongue at the madness, and one pirate admiral cried out in pain.
“You too will surely go to hell!”
Valencian sneered at him.
“I am the emperor’s twin while alive, and the saint’s benefactor after death. Why should I go to hell? I have built dozens of churches with the money I have donated. I should go to heaven.”
The pirate admiral stuck out his tongue, and Valencian threw up his arms theatrically and shouted:
“Today, I will practice both the virtue of mercy and the virtue of donation. I will relieve your suffering, which is mercy. I will return your property to the church, which is donation.”
The pirate admiral continued to stare at Valencian until the end, and Valencian gave him a quick death as well.
“You should be grateful to me. Cariosa might have tried to starve you to death. Or maybe she used you as bait to hunt the fish race.”
Crunch.
The admiral's neck rolled to the floor, and he soon looked at Page.
Saaaaah
The vertical pupil pierced Pajin, and she took a step back without realizing it.
'Die.'
But the legs did not move from that spot.
Warm, warm, warm, warm!
Valencian approached with the sound of his shoes clicking.
Page sat down, his face turning ashen.
At that moment, Aquila jumped out of the puddle behind Valencian's left.
Choaaaak!

Water droplets splashed in all directions from the wide brim of his hat.
“Pajin-!”
Saaaaak!
The wind blade that grew from the magic sword typhoon howled fiercely and fell down in one breath.
It was a blow enough to blow off the man's head.
But Valencian was smiling from the moment he rose.
"Got it."
* * *
I knew Aquila would still be paying attention to me.
The Sword Expert could hold his breath for over 20 minutes, and with his men swarming around to distract me, it was only natural that he would aim for one shot.
The best time to hunt a carnivore is when it thinks it is hunting.
I had just burned dozens of pirates to death, and now the only enemies left were wizards who were far inferior to the Capital Academy cadets, so objectively I had the upper hand.
A normal person would have let their guard down now and would have been helplessly attacked by Aquila.
But I had been on the lookout for him since earlier, and he showed up at a moment that was exactly what I expected.
Taat!
He jumped up, kicking the ground with his left foot, then did a large spin to the right in the air and slammed his right heel into Aquila's chest.
Phew!
It was the kick that Lord Tentia gave me during the sparring match.
puck!
The sole of the shoe, the Eisen magic tool, collided with the bastard's chest plate, and the recoil of the shoe sole colliding with the bastard's chest plate was transmitted, and Aquila's body tilted backwards in the air.
I smiled victoriously and pushed down on Aquila with all my might.
I saw the bastard's face contort, and the blue uniform rose up to obscure his face.
bang!
The bastard was slammed into the edge of the puddle.
“Ugh!”
Tsk tsk tsk!
A large crack ran through the thick stone floor, and Aquila's legs sank into the water.
If we both fell into the water, he would have the advantage.
The creature had a small coral horn in its mouth, a magical tool called the 'Mermaid's Kiss' that would allow it to breathe underwater.
Before his return, Justinian had used it to infiltrate the capital via the canal.
Since Aquila has that, it would be a sure defeat if we fought him underwater.
But there was no reason for me to go into the water.
I could now walk on water.
with a splash!
I stood proudly on the water's surface, looking down at the guy with his hands on the edge of the puddle.
His hair was hanging down under his wide-brimmed hat, the damp sea water was running down his cheeks like tears, and he had a bewildered expression.
“I’ve been fooled again. Like a lowly slave on board a ship.”
I raised my black hat with the most vicious expression I could muster.
Aquila's eyes became bloodshot.
“Valencian!”
Even in the midst of all this, the bastard did not miss the magic sword Typhoon and tried to cut it down in one breath.
However, I have experienced this kind of attack against Sword Master Ensis.
“I’d rather break my own head than be hit twice!”
wickedness!
I dodged it by bending my back back just in time, and the transparent wind blade just barely brushed the tip of my nose.
Saaak-!
I cut off the bastard's arm by raising the black sword.
Red drops of blood spurted out, and the magic sword Typhoon soared into the air.
He reached out with his left hand and grabbed the handle of the typhoon, and at the same time swung the black shovel once more, cutting the leather strap that was tied to the 'Mermaid's Kiss'.
“Ahhhhh!”
Aquila screamed a beat later when she saw my arm, and I even stole the 'Mermaid's Kiss' from her.
“You never knew satisfaction.”
“Ugh, ugh!”
The bastard glared at me, groaning.
His dark, dark eyes looked just like mine.
“He called himself the Pirate King, but he had never managed a territory, never fought a large-scale land battle, and knew nothing about diplomacy or administration.”
“How dare you call me a slave…….”
“The reason you ended up like this is because you have excessive ambitions compared to your abilities. You are the most unfortunate type. The type that makes not only yourself, but also those around you unhappy.”
“I wish I was born in the royal family…….”
“You don’t become a royal noble by dressing nicely and talking nicely. Do you know that? If you had said during the oath of allegiance that you would lead a fleet to the imperial port and surrender, you could have become an imperial admiral.”
“……!”
If I hadn't known satisfaction, Jaylilis would have beheaded me long ago.
If Mateos had not been satisfied, he would have been hit by a meteor while talking about the Holy Empire.
If Jaylilith had not been satisfied, she would have started a war like before the return.
She knows satisfaction too, so how dare you?
“We love ambitious men, but we hate those who show off. You can either use your pirate experience to join a great lord and work as a mercenary, or join hands with the Eastern Kingdom and work to develop the Anchor Islands. You should have made one of the two choices years ago.”
“!”
“But you didn’t do that. That’s why you’re dying here before me.”
Aquila put her good left hand into her bosom.
It seemed like he was probably going to take out something like a dagger.
Kwajik!
I stomped on his chest plate and pushed him into the water.
* * *
Bugrrrr!
The guy looked a mixture of bewilderment and relief under the water.
Thanks to the Sword Expert's vitality, the bleeding from the bastard's arm has already stopped.
If you go into the water like this, you might think you can escape.
“Do you think I’ll just leave it like that?”
This was not a death, it was an execution, and the execution was to be symbolic.
Earlier, I thought it was a puddle of water and used enough force to evaporate it, but now that I know it's the ocean, it's different.
Light a fire with your will.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Red flames blazed around me, and I pushed all that heat into the water.
Phew!
Immediately, steam rose up, and the creature's eyes opened wide, looking quite embarrassed.
Aquila started swimming towards another pool of water.
But the heat spread faster.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Steam rose fiercely, and every puddle of water in the room bubbled up.
Aquila slowly sank.
“……Foolish guy.”
The amount of water that had just been boiled was considerable, but it was only a drop in front of the sea, and after a while it cooled to a slightly warm temperature.
Whether attracted by the scent of blood or by the warm water, sharks large and small swarmed beneath my feet.
“A king is not something that he does, but something that he becomes.”
If you take care of your subjects, protect your territory, and establish laws, those around you will regard you as king, even if you don't want to.
Starting out as a slave on a ship and amassing such great power, he may have been a villain, but he was not incompetent.
I don't like villains, but the title of Grand Duke and the dangerous world require capable people.
So, it wasn't Cariosa or me who brought down the bastard, but the bastard himself, who didn't even know how strong he had become.
I turned my back to the sunken Aquila and looked at the pirate wizards frozen stiff in one of the caves.
Some were shaking, some were bowing their heads, and one was staring at me.
His eyes were bloodshot and his hands were shaking.
It was a gaze I had received tens of thousands of times before returning.
Fear and anger must be fighting fiercely in your mind.
“We’ve seen each other before. Didn’t we meet at the third wall a few hours ago?”
The one who had cursed me was a voluptuous beauty with red hair and brown skin.
“Were you lovers?”
She nodded.
He had a completely absent-minded expression.
She said weakly.
“I lost everyone I loved and everyone who loved me.”
“They were both my hands. But I wish you would treat me a little more politely. I am the Grand Duke.”
“You don’t have to remind me. No, it’s fine.”
I raised my chin arrogantly.
“If you want, I will give you a chance to get revenge.”
For a moment, anger flashed across her eyes, then completely crumbled.
“I surrender. In the name of Pirate Admiral Pagin, I will open the fortress gates. Now… I want to stop.”
“I have no authority to deal with those who surrender on this land. For now, return to the fortress and raise the white flag. He is a valuable wizard. If you are lucky, he may survive.”
Page smiled bitterly.
“Do you think I would want that?”
I accepted it with a bitter laugh.
“It will be so if you do not wish it to be so. You pirates are all destined to meet a terrible end.”
* * *
He left Pagina there and returned to Cariosa.
“Keeeeee!”
“I’ll make it for you, Sukhoero!”
She was just about to tear an octopus guardian in half.
She shouted as she swung her magic sword Tempest, sending gusts of wind flying.
“Valencian! You came at a good time! Get that bastard!”
“That kid?”
“That guy is a purple priest or something! Get him!”
As the Eastern Knights fought against the fish-men, a man wearing a blue vine-patterned priest's robe was running toward the top of the fortress.
“Okay. Let’s go!”
I kicked the ground, and Cariosa shouted at my back.
“Aquila?”
“I boiled him to death!”
