How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 52

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat Episode 51

(51)

From the start, it was a showdown where those who tried to stop the situation were sure to win.

Even just the four knights of the Black Iron Knights were overpowered.

Adding to this the future sword master Tentia, the genius lightning magician Celerazie, the 100% accurate marksman Rudy, and the scoundrel Archduke Valencianus, the battle became one-sided.

The transport ships missed their departure time, and eventually Tentia and Sereraji arrived running up the plank ladder.

“It’s up!”

“Drop it, aaaah!”

A brave guard rushed to push her away, but was instead grabbed by the wrist and thrown into the water.

“Wait a minute! I surrender!”

“King. Just let me live. I will collect the ransom from my parents’ house.”

The royal family bowed their heads and hung their swords.

“Ugh… … .”

Tentia originally had difficulty raising her sword against the royal family that the Platinum Knights were supposed to protect.

However, Sereraji poured out spells without mercy on my half-siblings.

“My lightning that follows and follows! Sweep away all my enemies!”

Phage crackle!

With just one order, everyone on board the ship that was about to set sail trembled and rolled around on the sign.

“What a concubine!”

“Please close your eyes.”

“Why are you doing this to us?”

The royal family members standing on the sign shouted urgently.

On the deck of the ship, Sereraji alone, his gold and silver shards flashed and he spoke in anger.

“I didn’t care whether you formed factions or not, or who became the emperor or not. But why didn’t you just leave me alone? You were the ones who locked me up in this red moon palace when I was living happily in the ivory tower. Didn’t you think that if you just kept quiet for a few years, I would foolishly send you back to your maternal home?”

“How could you say something like that… … !”

“Why on earth could you not endure all those years and start that uproar to have ‘the entire royal family’ imprisoned in the Red Moon Palace? What kind of idiot thought that a Sword Master could be killed with some half-assed poison or assassin? Who the hell suggested that we attack a 6th Circle wizard with magic? And why did it have to be lightning magic?”

“!”

“Why do you fight back when you’ve seen your brothers and sisters, who are much stronger than you, fall? Does His Majesty the Emperor think you’re a human being? When a typhoon comes, you should hide in your room. Why on earth do you go out to sea with your boat, saying you’re going to fight the typhoon? The typhoon has no intention of fighting you.”

From Sereraji’s perspective, they were ignorant and brave people who plucked the scales of a sleeping dragon, and she was a villager whose village was burned down by an angry dragon.

Now that the dragon had become her patron and watchdog, resentment turned to those who had plucked the dragon’s scales.

“This, this Emperor’s dog!”

“Okay. Now is the time to show off your amazing skills.”

“I’ve always disliked the way people act like they’re great just because they can use magic!”

Eventually, the royal family’s eyes began to sparkle again.

They too were people who could understand and use the ways of the world on their own.

Fireballs, stone thorns, chain lightning, wind blades, and poison dances rained down on Sereraji.

Tentia tried to receive it with her body, but Sereraji shook her head.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Clocks run backwards, and a shirt buttoned wrongly will eventually end up with a wrong hem and become unwearable.”

Clang!

There was a sound of glass breaking in the air, and all the flying magic scattered like smoke.

Tentia, who had raised her left arm to cover her face, laughed awkwardly, and the royal magicians opened their mouths wide.

“Dispel?”

“That’s ridiculous.”

“You must be just over twenty now.”

“Let’s get this ship started first!”

The manager of the ‘Snake’ pushed aside the hesitant helmsman and took the helm himself.

Taaang!

The next moment, a flying bullet split the key in half.

* * *

“Well done, Rudy! Don’t let anyone set off! Today, we’re throwing them all into the canal! Alive, dead, or neither, they’re just a nuisance!”

The evil Valencian swung his sword along with the four knights of the Black Iron Knights.

I struck down the mutated royal tentacle monsters that grew grotesquely and devoured the surrounding corpses with my mana-bladed sword again and again.

His white uniform was splattered with bodily fluids, but he didn’t care.

“Rest even to those who did not wish to be eroded!”

As if he didn’t like those words, one of his tentacles grew explosively and threw one of the Black Iron Knights onto the road outside the dock.

“Ahhhh!”

For a moment, Valencian and the three knights hesitated, and the tentacle monster took advantage of the gap to jump into the canal.

At that time, Rudy was standing on the roof of a building at the edge of the canal.

Coming from a lower-class noble family, she was deeply disturbed by the sight of noble members of the royal family being killed one by one.

But she was the one who served, and the one she was supposed to serve was fighting.

‘It is the nature of employees to have the pride of employees.’

She rolled both shoulders back sharply once, locked her shoulder blades, and pulled the trigger madly.

Taaang! Taaang! Taaang!

My whole body shook from the enormous recoil.

Her neat maid’s uniform was rumpled, her shoes were pushed back, and the square-framed glasses on her nose were bobbing up and down.

But Rudy never blinked his green eyes.

Those eyes, which seemed to be made of jewels, looked at only one point from beginning to end.

The tentacle monster’s tough body was torn to pieces.

Taaang! Taaang! Taaang!

I hit the long tentacles extending from the crown, burst its thighs, and split its mutated back.

A brief silence fell on the dock.

Even the royal family, who had been resisting until the end, suddenly panicked and dropped their swords.

I heard the wyvern’s howl in the distant sky.

Valencian jumped onto the ship and shouted:

“Find out the number of royal deaths! If anyone resists, you can kill them!”

Helena and Hadritan, who were lying face down on the deck, cried out.

“There were 45 of us when we left!”

“If we take out the eight of us, there should be 37 people, including the dead and the survivors.”

Then Rudy, who had come down from the roof of the building, ran towards Valencianus and said.

“Mr. Valen. That person is not here.”

“None?”

“The person I shot first is no longer there.”

“what?”

The four boarded the boat that Lancia was on.

On the railing where the manager of the ‘future’ was trembling, only a long trail of blood remained.

Sereraji let out a deep sigh.

“He must have been able to quickly gain power since he is also a member of the royal family. The Old Ones he serves are famous for being secretive and having deep knowledge even among the Old Ones. But I didn’t know that he would gain power within the Red Moon Palace. … … Valen, why didn’t you know?”

“Didn’t you just say that it’s one of the most secretive things in the past?”

Valencian recalled many bad memories from his past life.

While there were some who openly showed off their aura as predators, there were also others who hid their aura until the very moment they stabbed him in the back.

He followed the blood trail to the sign and guessed where Lanchea might have run off to.

I had to drag the bastard where he wanted.

“Did he escape into the canal?”

At the edge of the canal, waves could be seen swirling strangely.

“It’s not the guy’s kicking. It’s a passage through which water flows into the culvert.”

“!”

Sparks flew from all four eyes simultaneously.

Valencian gave quick instructions.

“Rudy. Help me collect the corpses, no, the bodies, of the royal family members together with Helena.”

“Your Majesty, I too… …!”

“Mattan, how many shots are left?”

“ah…….”

“When I float down the river, then help me. Sister Sereraji, go with the Black Iron Knights to eliminate the remnants of the Casino, and Sir Tentia, you deal with the remnants of the rebellious royal family. No one should run away until the Wyvern arrives.”

“Why are you only speaking informally to me… … .”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The fight is not over yet.

The royal family, whose momentum had been temporarily dampened by Rudy’s shooting, were now either running away in all directions or somehow trying to sail the boat out into the waterway with the casino managers.

They were able to seize the opportunity to win thanks to their momentum, but their force was limited to only five knights.

Regardless of their skills, their numbers were insufficient to prevent an escape.

“Everyone, be safe.”

“Your Majesty too.”

“You too, Valen.”

“Come back with only moderate injuries.”

* * *

As soon as Valencian entered the aqueduct, he ran east.

There was a canal gate and a wall gate to the east, so it was obvious that he or she would use one of them.

Swaaaaaaahh …

There were several holes along the canal through which water poured in, making the sound of the water loud.

So much so that you can’t even hear your own footsteps or the footsteps of others.

Damn, he kicked the ground again and again.

The capital of the Thousand-Year Empire was so large that it was necessary to dig a canal within the capital, and the distance from the central dock to the eastern gate was considerable.

Even though I was running while using mana, it took quite a while.

However, he couldn’t slow down even a little bit because he was also using the power of the old things to support his body.

He felt his breath catch in his throat as he thought of Lancia, of Justinian, of Arietta.

While he understood their resentment, he also resented them deep down in his heart.

He remembered many things vividly.

A time of despair when demonic realms open up on all sides and old things invade this world.

Yesterday, an entire territory was handed over to the old ones, killing 800,000 people, and those who shamelessly demanded that we give up our ‘seats’ if we wanted to cooperate.

Wedge!

Just when he thought he had almost reached the eastern end, a tentacle flew into Valencian’s sight.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk!

It was powerful enough to break a solid stone wall.

However, through his sparring with the genius knight Tentia, he was a swordsman who had a deeper understanding of the secret of immortality than before his return.

He ducked to dodge, while simultaneously drawing his sword diagonally upward.

wickedness!

The tough tentacles on top of its head were cleanly cut off.

“Isn’t that amazing?”

Lancia, who had been hiding behind the corner, walked out.

The left arm that had just been cut off grew back slowly.

“Embracing the old doesn’t mean you’ll become stronger overnight. Isn’t that funny? I threw away everything I’ve built in this world, and they only gave me a handful of strength.”

If anyone could become stronger by sacrificing their existence, this world would already belong to the invaders.

Just as not everyone can become a sword master by staking everything on the sword, erosion also requires talent.

They had to practice diligently reciting spells and prayers, killing people to offer sacrifices, and mastering their mutated bodies and strange energies.

“Erosion is not cost-effective. Why did you do it when you knew that?”

‘In order to gain power similar to that of a Sword Expert as an Evader, you have to work hard enough to become a Sword Expert. So, if you train hard enough to become a Sword Expert, there’s no need to become an Evader.’

This joke didn’t come out of nowhere.

“Because this was the only way to hide your power?”

Lancia’s hands mutated into tentacles.

For a man, his eyes were dark and gloomy beneath his long, curly blond hair.

Valencian asked mockingly.

“Who did you lose?”

“Everyone. Brother, sister, and even mother.”

“It was the crown prince’s faction.”

“No. It was the First Prince faction. Like Jaylilith.”

“How rude.”

“I’ve lost everything, and it’s so hard, so why are you guys laughing so hard… .”

Valencian cut off Ranchea.

“Sharp stabbing flames!”

The words he had heard from countless people for 40 years had no resonance with him whatsoever.

An arrow-like flame pierced Lancia’s shoulder.

“Ugh!”

He lifted his chin and looked down at Lancia haughtily.

“Don’t rely on things like resentment or emotions, you weakling.”

“what……?”

“You can’t trust emotions. If you eat snake horn leaves, you’ll laugh even while cutting off an undesirable eroded arm. If you drink black-spotted thorn tree juice, you’ll be connected to someone you like in the morning, and if you find gold in the evening, you’ll be depressed and want to die.”

The yellow eyes shone brightly.

“Act like royalty. Use what you can see, touch, and count as your light. That’s how we were born to live.”

“How dare you… … !”

“Death to the enemies of His Majesty the Emperor.”

Strike, Valencian rushed forward with a mana blade wrapped around his longsword.

Lanchea mutated his hands into tentacles and tried to ensnare Valencianus, but he did not know that Valencianus had been fighting various encroachers for 40 years.

wickedness!

Before I could blink, the line between the tentacle and the arm was cut off, and before I could even recover from the injury, two fingers were dug into both of my eyes.

“Ahh! You cowardly little bastard!”

“It’s best to resolve it through talking rather than fighting. Once you start fighting, you have to win no matter what.”

Feeling Valencian’s sword pierce his heart, Ranchea let out a mind-boggling scream.

“AAAAAHHHH!”

The culvert shook as if it were going to collapse, and rocks fell like corn.

Valencian stumbled for a moment, but was glad he hadn’t brought Rudi with him.

The eroder’s mental attacks were more powerful than the mutated physical attacks.

If Rudy were an ordinary person, he might lose his mind just by hearing this sound.

If this were a battlefield, that one shout just now would have sent a hundred soldiers into a frenzy, biting and mauling their own men.

Lanchea staggered Valencianus while simultaneously mapping out the overall structure with echolocation.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his arm, which was just beginning to regenerate, toward the hole in the ceiling through which water was pouring in.

The first goal was escape.

The hole through which water entered the aqueduct was located shallow in the canal wall, and the eroder could easily have pulled himself up.

He pulled himself up with his tentacles and floated to the surface of the canal.

“ah!”

The newly opened eyes illuminated the world.

A huge canal gate with its latticework lowered down was right in front of us.

On the street next to it stood the eastern gate of the outer wall.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh-!”

He waved both arms and clung to the canal grating gates.

Then he felt a hand grabbing his body.

Phew!

Valencianus, who had been following her while holding her ankle, stabbed Lanchea with a dagger into her waist.

Three syringes sank down the canal from the severed belt.

“You said you would get revenge? Do you think I would let you go after hearing that?”
