Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 418

Episode 418

It took an instant for the huge cavity filled with ridicule and criticism to cool down.

The native soldiers and the last of the megaliths, even the crowned being presumed to be their king.

Everyone started to crouch down without even breathing.

Just one word.

That one word was enough.

The appearance of the large-scale native soldiers and stone statues kneeling without daring to make eye contact with me was so perfect that it could be called a spectacular sight.

Did this happen because they felt loyal to me?

It wasn’t.

All I did was simply make them out of spec and give them orders.

Ordinary undead would have been subjugated in soul units and sent fanatical loyalty to me, but even though they were undead, they were subtly different.

“Keuugh, it can’t be like this… it can’t be like this!”

At that time, a native soldier wearing a crown screamed at me desperately trying to get up.

“Five thousand years! For five thousand years I am the regent who has ruled this place! I will not give in to the power of you, from whom I don’t know where you came from!!”

[Keep your head down.]

But his pointless outbursts were all there.

He, who flinched as if in great shock, eventually collapsed and lowered his head.

A dead man who is not a dead man.

That was their identity reflected in my eyes. As

I

approached him, who resisted with a gurgling sound, the native soldiers near me flattened their bodies even more, expressing their fear to me.

Perhaps feeling the fear of splitting his soul, the crowned soldier gripped the floor as if his hand would break.

Let’s see his resistance.

With that thought in mind, I quietly waved my hand to relieve the pressure that had only been placed on him, who was supposed to be the king of native soldiers.

“I speak in the name of the Regent of Prugrev Civilization! No one dares to take away the kingdom and its people without my permission!!”

As soon as the pressure on him was gone, he stood up and attacked me.

A sword made of soil stuffed at his waist is roughly pulled out.

It was a sword that had to be scattered because it was not fixed in shape, but it was dyed black for some reason, and the shape of the sword was fixed.

Before long, his sword came close and swung to cut my throat.

Kwaaang!!!!

A huge shockwave bursts out, enough to vibrate the surroundings.

If the sword was really sharp, if it had unusual powers, it would have left a big scar on me.

In fact, it is true that the sword he wielded created a sword so powerful that it cut the bodies of native soldiers tens of meters away in half.

However, his swordsmanship stopped before it even reached Aria, who was behind me following the native soldiers.

It was because I raised the black air current and grabbed his sword with my bare hands and blocked the sword path.

The blade of the togeom, which brutally slashed everything, was forcibly stopped and evaporated.

“How can Kronos, the kingdom’s treasured sword, a sword that can even cut women’s souls!”

“What do I see in your eyes?”

I approached him calmly and grabbed his neck and pressed him down.

coo!!

At the same time, a huge amount of deformed spirit mana stretched out and made his body fall to the ground.

“This is how it should be…”

“I will ask again.”

At my question, his earthy eyes widened.

[What am I in your eyes?]

His body, which trembled and resisted my words, soon began to harden slowly.

“…”

and after a short silence he spoke slowly.

“The king of the dead, the imperfect judge, who broke down the boundaries of life and death…”

He slowly finished his words.

“Lord of the dead…”

In his voice, the hostility from earlier had disappeared, leaving only reverence.

* * *

The statues stopped and the native soldiers returned to the earth.

And only the native soldier who called himself the regent of Prugref bowed his head to me.

“Honor to the ruler…”

These were the words of the submissive, but there was a lot of distrust inside them.

It wasn’t distrust towards me, it was distrust towards the word king.

Suddenly, I was curious, but I had no intention of causing the host and guest to be evangelized.

As I approached Aria, who was staring blankly at me, she looked up at me nervously.

“…”

Those eyes were filled with fear rather than faith.

I slowly reach out my hand to the stiffened woman.

“Oh…”

Then, terrified, she reflexively closed her eyes.

She is a beast race with sharper senses than humans.

It is also a Nine-tail race that handles special powers that are different from ordinary beastmen.

That’s why she couldn’t be unaware of what happened just a moment ago.

No, even if he didn’t know, he would have experienced it more deeply than anyone else.

A terrifyingly dark power emanating from my body.

Fearing that it would affect her as well, she closed her eyes and slowly opened her eyes as if wondering if nothing had happened.

Then he looked surprised.

It was because I was stroking her hair in silence.

“are you okay. I’m not going through you.”

Hearing my calm voice, she raised her head and looked at me.

And then, the tears started flowing.

He recognized that he had sent me a fearful gaze because of a fear close to instinct.

“Huh… Heh heh. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Without saying a word, I pulled her up and patted her on the back, and she clung to my collar and sobbed bitterly.

It was a natural result for the Nine Tails as long as it did not go beyond the limits of the race.

Their powers are related to spirit powers. Therefore, my power from a moment ago, which goes beyond the spirit mana and interferes with the soul itself, must have approached her with fatal fear.

“…”

When she calmed down after sobbing for a long time.

I grabbed her arm again to open the barrier and put Eunyul’s pine cone in her hand.

Toow!!!

At the same time, her body shook greatly and she collapsed, closing her eyes as if she had waited.

As she slowly lays the fainting woman down on the floor with only the sound of quiet breathing, the voice of the observer is terrifyingly heard.

[If what she really wants is to regain her memory, the pine cone will surely answer.]

Normally, I would have responded jokingly to his words, but I continued to ignore him as I approached the regent.

[They are full of disbelief. With distrust of those who did not keep their promises.]

I spoke slowly to the regent at his words.

“Speak. What is the reason for your distrust?”

At my question, he only crouched down even more, but didn’t say anything.

“Speak.”

However, his resistance was completely destroyed by the second question.

“The king… the king who abandoned the kingdom was greedy and violated a taboo that he shouldn’t have…”

I quietly closed my eyes at his words.

“That arrogance reaches the sky. You have angered the gods.”

He incurred the wrath of the gods and was cursed as a result.

What kind of taboo must be violated so that a god who does not interfere can turn an entire kingdom into a cursed dead.

“The king… has abandoned us. The king has deceived us and deceived us. The curse he deserved was received by the people of the kingdom, and 5,000 years have passed since the king left the kingdom to save the people of the kingdom.”

His voice was full of hate for the word king.

“Five thousand years… the king has abandoned us! The only thing left for the people of the kingdom, who have been cursed by God and hatred for a long time, is hatred and revenge!”

I quietly closed my eyes at the furious figure that would shed tears of blood if it were a living creature.

A forgotten civilization 5,000 years ago.

This place, guided by the watcher, was full of hatred for the people of the cursed kingdom and the king who did not return for them.

“O absolute ruler of the dead. Please save us.”

At those words, I was silent.

The source of their power was the result of a combination of hatred accumulated over 5,000 years, a curse from God, and the unfulfilled promise of the king.

They are not ordinary undead, but those who have been cursed by the gods while alive and have become dead.

This kind of fraud was inevitable.

The hatred that has lost its way has been pouring down on me and Aeria, the intruders of this ruin, so there is no choice but to come out with that kind of power.

An undead with great power, but an absolute being that no one can handle.

A being that was trapped in this ruin for 5,000 years.

I thought silently and slowly raised one hand.

At the same time, the black magic circle that was manifested at the fingertips slowly rose and rose high into the sky, turning into a huge magic circle.

[I command in the name of the Imperfection Deathlord.]

At the bleak voice that continued once more, the native soldiers drew their weapons in unison and raised their swords toward the sky as if in a ceremony.

God’s curse upon the dead.

That curse can be lifted by God.

But one thing was possible.

While everyone was looking at me in silence, I slowly started talking again.

“I will take all the curses inflicted on you. Even if the curse disappears, the power remaining in your souls will not be small. serve me Follow me. Help me raise your sword.”

The only place their influence can reach is this parallel world, but that’s enough.

With my words, a black stream of air began pouring out of all the native soldiers and the bodies of the stone statues.

The curses inflicted on countless souls, which could be thousands of thousands or even more, began pouring down on me through the magic circle.

The content of the curse is only one thing.

Being trapped here forever and accepting the curse of living.

At my choice, not only the observers but also the people of the Prugref Kingdom, who had hoped for salvation, looked at me as if they were surprised.

“You Absolute! How!”

God’s curse cannot be lifted unless it is God.

It was said that as long as I ate the curse of not just one or two people in the kingdom, I couldn’t escape from this place.

However, even though Goddess Freea has reached this point, it must be said that the reason why she does not impose sanctions is because her wishes are all in line with my current actions.

No matter how much the influence has weakened, there is no way around me who is causing irrational numbers by crossing the parallel line.

“Ahhh!”

The regent’s voice is heard crying out in a grievous voice. In addition, the cries of the suffering kingdom people were also heard.

Instinctively, the black air current that enveloped the whole body caused a curse that made the eyesight shake.

Accepting the curse with the magic circle, I slowly lowered my hand.

My whole body turned black in the aftermath of the curse and burned black like flames.

The cursed dead of the Prugreph Kingdom, whose power to restrain them had disappeared, trembled, unable to leave my side, who had swallowed all the curses for themselves.

“Can this be enough?”

The king of the Prugreph civilization who promised to save the people of the kingdom and fled after breaking the promise.

No answer came to my call.

[You’re like a dumb person… There was no reason for you to accept that.]

“You’re not hiding it now.”

[Didn’t you already know who I was? From the first time I entered this ruin.]

“I can only guess.”

He spoke quietly in a muffled voice.

[It’s not too late. hand it all over to me There is no reason for you to get involved in this.]

“What are you saying.”

My voice fell silent.

Yes, the curse of God is dangerous. Can’t be solved without God

However, this level of curse is clearly a lower level curse given by God.

and.

I have two powers that can exert influence in relation to God and Curse.

A taboo karma that interferes with the power of God and becomes independent.

And [Flow Rejection], which has the additional effect of immunity to the curse that Lo Aias put on me.

As he reached out his hand without saying anything and began to awaken a power that had been dormant within his body, the whole area began to change.

The reason why the curse of the god is strong is that the power of the god continues to exert its great power of will on the curse.

therefore.

If I sever that link no matter how hard I try, in the end, that bastard’s curse will only become a remnant that has lost its subject. Also, to me, it didn’t matter how many remnants of that curse came together.

Because another power awaits.

The curse of denial of flow that Ro Aias placed on me.

Kwajik…

The lump of curse that seeped into my body caused a huge crack.

Even Lo Aias, who was my teacher and no other being can imitate me like this.

Because it is the operation of complex powers that only I, who have inherited all the powers of the heroes, can do.

It wasn’t long before it crumbled to pieces.
