How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 68

How to live as a tyrant’s spoiled brat Episode 68

(68)

The Marquis set out early in the morning, before the sun had even risen.

“It takes more than five hours to climb the western mountain. Please understand that the wind is so strong that the wyvern cannot be launched.”

He was accompanied by more than ten knights of the Marquis, six magicians, and thirty elite soldiers.

Jaylilith set off with the Platinum Knight, and I set off with Sir Tentia and Sereraji.

Rudy was left in the castle in case he was influenced by the demonic realm.

She began the meditation training that Lord Tentia had taught her, hoping to gain the mental strength to follow along as quickly as possible.

The winter mountains were rugged and dangerous.

The wind was strong and there wasn’t much snow, but the slope was steep and everywhere we looked we saw huge, hungry wolves and bears.

“It’s a place full of cold and life. There must be many ice spirits and tree spirits.”

Jaylilith looked around, smiling brightly, as if there was something only she could see.

The Marquis’ knights were spellbound by her smile that seemed to shine like a jewel.

The Marquis cleared his throat slightly, bringing their eyes back to normal, and spoke to Jaylilith.

“There are several giant trees growing on that ridge. It is said that elves were occasionally seen during my father’s time, but now they can only be seen in the Imperial Protectorate.”

His smile quickly distorted at Jaylilith’s continued words.

“Marquis. If there is a demonic realm, the spirits will be the first to notice it. What kind of demonic realm is there in a place with so many spirits?”

“… … We’re almost there, so please wait a little longer.”

After walking for another hour, a huge valley came into view.

At first, the slope was so gentle that it was almost flat, but as you went down, it gradually became steeper.

There were several large tents pitched on the flat area there.

The soldiers and magicians in the tent saluted the Marquis.

There were several tall, flat stone pillars erected around the tent, and Sereraji whispered to me as soon as he saw them.

“It looks like a part of a giant jinn. It’s a stone monument that completely blocks the inside and the outside.”

“Is that why you couldn’t feel the energy of the demon realm?”

“Isn’t that highly probable? But I know that the magic mirror doesn’t disappear just because you cover it up. And there’s something else strange about it, too.”

“What’s strange?”

“That’s to prevent the outside from seeing inside, not to prevent the inside from seeing outside. … … It seems like there are a few more functions, but you can’t tell just by looking at it.”

“That’s definitely strange.”

After walking down the valley for about five minutes, I started to feel a strange energy.

A tingling sensation as if you were right next to Sereraji when she casts lightning magic.

Jaylilith and Sereraji looked down, their eyes narrowed.

“Is this the place?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

There was a wide crevice in the rock there.

It looked to be 15 meters long, 2 meters wide at the narrowest point, and 4 meters wide at the widest point, but it was not visible because it was cleverly obscured by trees and rocks.

Around the area, there were dozens of rock steles scattered here and there, as seen from above the valley.

Looking closely, it was a rather complex magic circle engraved with silver circuits, each of which seemed to be worth hundreds of gold coins.

Jaylilith walked towards the crevice of the rock, and Sereraji and I followed her.

“oh my god.”

“I can’t believe what I’m seeing.”

We both let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

The gold and silver of Sereraji were soaked in rapture.

The space between the rocks was filled with the blue color of electricity.

It seemed like there was a huge cave or cavity at the bottom of the valley.

If you had come at night, you would have been able to see the light coming out.

30m? 40m? A giant jellyfish-like creature of unimaginable size flew around, shooting electric currents from its long legs, and the walls were covered with giant fluorescent mushroom-like things.

* * *

Jaylilith, who had confirmed the magic, narrowed her golden eyes.

“That would be the best catalyst.”

Marquis Freuheit nodded.

“Yes, Your Majesty. As you said, by using those mushrooms and floating creatures, we can use powerful lightning magic.”

“Then why aren’t you attacking the Demon Realm and instead gathering an army? It doesn’t seem like the Demon Realm is so powerful that a great noble like you can’t subdue it.”

“There are no nukes.”

“What?”

Jaylilith frowned as if she had heard something she shouldn’t have heard.

Serena and I also had embarrassed expressions on our faces.

The old ones ‘mix’ this world with their own through the magic realm and ‘come over’ through the core.

If the core is destroyed, the magic realm will also disappear, but even if it was in the early stages of formation, it was incomprehensible that such a huge magic realm would not have a core.

“Your Majesty, do you remember when I first gathered my army?”

Jaylilith answered in a tone that seemed to have softened.

“I think I heard the first report around May of this year.”

“I found this magic mirror in March of this year. It’s now the end of December, so it’s been at least nine months without overflowing and has maintained this state.”

“That is certainly a strange thing.”

The Marquis said, his stubborn expression softening.

“If the accumulated foreign substances for nine months were to spill out, my territory would collapse. But I couldn’t just force ordinary soldiers into this place. All I could do was gather as many knights and magicians as I could.”

Besides, the Marquis continued.

“That mushroom is a great catalyst, just as Your Majesty said. If the demon realm doesn’t overflow in the future, I would like to continue collecting and studying it. However… … .”

Jaylilith answered with her golden eyes flashing.

“The church will not allow it. Rather, they will suspect you, Marquis, for not punishing them.”

“If only we could know when it would overflow, when the core would appear, we could control all the dangers. However, none of the magicians or priests I have summoned have told me when the core would appear in this magic realm, or when the monsters would swarm.”

Jaylilith and Sigmain looked at Sereraji at the same time.

Sereraji took hold of his staff, approached the crevice of the rock, and began to recite a long spell.

“Valencian. Pen and paper.”

“Do you know that I am your older sister’s servant?”

“Stop telling rotten jokes.”

She began to draw on paper using a fine-tipped charcoal pen.

Black lines were swirling around the crevices between the rocks in the valley.

“I think I can calculate it… … It’s definitely getting denser. The cycle is also certain. In a week, I can calculate when a core will form in this demonic realm and when it will flood.”

She said, “Huh,” with a laugh.

The gold and silver glittered with the wizard’s curiosity.

“That’s what I think.”

Jaylilith looked at the Marquis.

Marquis Sigmain bowed his head deeply.

“Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

Kookung, then suddenly the ground shook.

I looked at the Marquis, feeling a chill down my spine.

“Didn’t you say that you never know when it might overflow?”

* * *

Snow was pouring down from the valley.

It seemed like if it rained just a little more it would turn into an avalanche.

Rocks fell from all over the place, and electricity shot out from cracks in the rocks.

Valencian glared at the Marquis in rage.

It looked like he was going to draw his sword at any moment.

However, Sigmain accepted the boy’s wrath without even blinking.

“Your Majesty. This mountain has many caves underground, so even a small shock can cause an earthquake. This isn’t a flood of demonic realms. It’s nothing.”

“So you’re saying that’s nothing?”

Corpses were rising here and there in the valley.

They were all soldiers well-armed with chain mail, shields, long swords, and halberds.

Although their faces were unrecognizable because their skin was barely visible, all the skilled people gathered here could sense the ancient, tingling energy from them.

As soon as Marquis Sigmar saw the soldiers standing up, he distorted his eagle-like face and glared at the knight standing next to him.

“Didn’t you say that all the dead mercenaries were purified?”

“Your Majesty. That is… … .”

“In a world where if you’re not buried in a church cemetery, you become undead, no matter how quiet the magic realm is, do you think a corpse placed next to the magic realm wouldn’t come back to life?”

The Marquis bowed his head to the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, I will take your Highnesses to a safe place. It was my fault.”

“Let’s do that.”

The elite soldiers brought by the Marquis formed a formation to surround Valencianus, Tentia, and Sereragie.

Jaylilith tied her platinum blonde hair up, her golden eyes shining with interest.

“I wonder how strong they are.”

At that moment, Valencian did not miss the moment when the Marquis’ blue eyes flinched.

He whispered in Tentia’s ear.

“kyung.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Protect Sereraji. Always be with her.”

“yes?”

He did not go up with the elite soldiers, but stayed with Jaylilith.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

Mercenaries with shining blue eyes came running one by one.

The Marquis’ knights stood guard, mana blades draped around their swords.

“Who dares point a sword at a mercenary like me?”

Taat, the Marquis’ knight kicked the ground.

The sword he swung horizontally cut right through the mercenary’s waist.

The upper body of the mercenary, whose work was cut in half, fell forward.

But the lower half of his body just kept walking away.

The upper body, cut in half, also crawled, supporting itself on the ground with its hands.

Valencianus checked the cross-section.

The inside of the body was filled with blue mushroom-like mycelia.

“I knew it!”

He drew his sword and charged at one of the mercenaries.

Valencian wore a black coat and white uniform reinforced with liquid metal armor.

Several of the resurrected mercenaries shot arrows, but they could not penetrate his coat.

“A flame that embraces you wholeheartedly!”

He covered the giant mercenary with flames.

The eyes that recited the spell shone golden.

The flames burned into the chainmail armor, burning the mycelium.

The burning mercenary screamed for the valley to leave.

“Ooooooooooooo-!”

Immediately after, the bodies of the revived mercenaries swelled up as if they were going to burst.

The chainmail armor tore and the mercenary’s back bent, and giant blue mushrooms sprouted like chimneys from his back, arms, and shoulders.

Although the height did not change much, at around 2m, the height of the mushrooms growing on the spine was close to 4m.

It also looked like he was carrying a huge bag covered in mushrooms.

“You’ve just made me angry for no reason. … … How dare you show your anger towards me!”

Valencian looked up at the mutated mercenary and spat out a torrent of swear words.

Cheeeeeeeee-!

Mushrooms towered like chimneys, spewing out blue spores.

Valencian summoned the fire again.

“A flame that blooms while swaying!”

The flame that once resembled a candle now displayed the power of a true magician.

Whoosh whoosh-!

A wall of flames rose up, burning the flying spores.

Crackle, crackle!

Blue spores burst out, sending electric shocks flying through the air.

Even Valencian, who was standing a few steps away, felt the sting.

The knights of the Marquis, who had been charging forward, relying on their armor, suddenly found themselves tied down and staggering.

The mutated mercenaries didn’t miss that moment and struck down their weapons.

bang!

“How dare you.

The Marquis’s knight held on with his hand on the halberd handle.

“Hey, you dirty bastards.”

As he exerted force in his hand, the handle broke off.

The mutated mercenary spewed spores again, but the knight cut off the mercenary’s legs and split his head with his sword, which was adorned with a brilliant mana blade.

“For Freud!”

The knights cut down the mutated mercenaries, pulling out their mana blades one by one.

Valencianus thought they seemed to surround Jerilis strangely.

At that time, Jaylilith was fighting a mutated mercenary a few steps ahead of the demonic realm.

It was so one-sided that anyone who saw it would think it was bullying rather than a fight.

She was dressed in a black dress, and had not drawn her sword, but was holding a golden auror blade wrapped around a branch that looked like it had been picked up.

Boom, boom!

The branch she swung drew a graceful curve and struck the mercenary’s knees and elbows in succession.

The mercenary’s limbs exploded and fell to the ground with a loud crash, with mushrooms growing all over his back.

The severed limbs crawled towards her, but Jaylilith kicked them away and crushed them.

“The limbs move by nerve reflexes.”

Finally, the mercenary stopped struggling as she cracked his head with a wrist snap.

“But it looks like the brain still remains.”

Pukwaak-!

The mushrooms on the mountainside all simultaneously released blue spores, but Jaylilith simply gestured and summoned a wind to scatter the spores.

“The brain and the mushrooms on the back move differently. Did you hear that? Marquis?”

Soon after, the Marquis’ knights and the platinum knights brought by Jaylilith also defeated several mutated mercenaries.

Then Valencianus noticed that the magicians brought by Marquis Sigmar were carrying flat stone pillars.

‘They already said they can’t analyze the magic. Judging by their armed status, they aren’t even an escort. Then why did they bring them?’

The pillar was wrapped in cloth, so it was impossible to tell what kind of magic was engraved on it.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you very much.”

“Let’s go back now. It’s a market.”

“Yes. I will prepare the meal.”

thud!

As if those words were a signal, the wizards planted pillars in the floor.

Valencian recognized the usefulness of the column at that moment.

The spell carved on the pillar he had seen above the valley flashed through his mind.

Blocking and sealing.

“Sigmain! You dirty and ugly traitor!”

He unleashed the Imperial Sword’s Ilchi Gaego with the strongest force since his return, while spewing out the six characters.

With a life-giving spark in his golden eyes, chain-like mana strengthening his body, he ran through the snowfield like an arrow.

It was a speed that left no footprints.

Choaaaak-!

The sword, swung like butterfly wings, cut off the heads of three of the six wizards at the same time.

But the stone pillar was already emitting a blue light.

Crispy!

The mana in the area froze with the sound of breaking glass.

If there were one or two, I could have overcome them with Jaylilith’s mana affinity, but there were over a hundred stone pillars visible around me.

They were all shining and forming one giant sphere.

Only then did Valencian realize why he had tried to keep the outside world from seeing inside.

The idea must have been to somehow get the emperor out last.

Sigmain looked at Jaylilith.

With those stubborn eyes.

“It has been so, Your Majesty.”

The ten knights of the Marquis took up their swords.

One aimed his sword at Valencianus, and nine aimed their swords at Jaerilis.

But Jaylilith laughed as if she was watching a child’s prank.

An arrogant laugh echoed through the frozen valley.

“What great confidence. Do you think you could overcome Jim without magic?”
