Duke, Please Repent! chapter 3

1. Duke, please repent! (2)

Serpens had all the qualifications to become the master of the Holy Sword.

Not only that, he was different from his innate divine power.

As a result, even before his self-esteem was established, he must have been promoted as the 'master of the holy sword'.

"Leave someone else a solution to the vague fear that might come in the future.

Turning over looks the same everywhere you go... .

According to [Master of the Holy Sword], Serpence has been suffering since the time he barely opened his mouth to relieve the anxiety of adults.

He learned all kinds of knowledge and repeated the arduous swordsmanship training.

Sleeping only four hours a day was the only time he could rest.

'If it wasn't for the overflowing divine power, would I not have died of overwork before I was less than 10 years old?'

It was because of the enormous divine power that this happened, and it was very paradoxical to think that he lived thanks to it.

Ever since I was little, I was driven by the words, 'You must become the master of the holy sword and save the world.'

When other children didn't even know that the word sacrifice existed, Serpens carved its meaning into their bones.

They were forced to take responsibility, and they were pushed to the brink.

In the future he was the perpetrator, but in the past he was the victim.

And, unfortunately, it is common for victims to turn into perpetrators.

'If only he had one, if he had someone he could depend on. Could it have been prevented?'

But he had no one.

It's painful, it's hard, it's painful.

No matter how much I begged for help, it was just an unanswered echo.

'And, by the way, if it's the day your parents find out about it... .'

He shook his head, dispelling his thoughts.

In any case, no one disagreed with what the former Duke of Prasidus was doing.

Whatever the Serpence suffered, it was turned into the right thing as a cause for the future.

And when Serpens was just ten years old, it reached its peak.

You're a child who lacks will, and you need to cultivate patience.

I may be tortured. Maybe the day will come when I have to.

In a calm voice, his father led him .

You look like a crazy human!

Fanaticism is so terrifying.

In any case, the damn writer left this story as a spearhead when Serpence was dying.

When that recollection was over, his life had already ended... .

After all, he is in and out of the novel.

In both worlds, it means that we could not make that one understander until the end.

'Who knew... .'

I used to think I was a complete villain.

I found out that I was nothing more than a child abandoned and wounded by the world.

that he was nothing more than a struggle to protect himself from the world

Do you want to remember what happened to him after seeing him face to face with something that existed only in print?

Do you think that such a terrible thing was real?

To be honest, my nausea rises.

Even though Serpens was so driven, the Holy Sword did not choose him.

The one who is chosen by the Holy Sword is 'Humanus B. Deva Lumen', the Crown Prince of the Holy Lumen Empire.

He is the protagonist of [Master of the Holy Sword].

The divine power of Humanos fell far behind that of Serpens.

'No, compared to Serpens, that

Did any of the candidates present look like that?'

No one expected that Humanus would be chosen as the master of the holy sword.

The precedent that the person who suffered the strongest divine power was chosen as the master of the Holy Sword broke down.

When Serpens was not chosen by the Holy Sword, the attitude of those who worshiped him so much changed.

"Maybe there was a reason for disqualification?"

Yeah, it's rather perfect like that.

It's kind of weird that Ram exists, but there must be something there.

They were heartbroken that what they thought was a strong shield to protect them did not do their job.

And he put the responsibility for it on Serpence.

It looked at only one life as the master of the holy sword, and lived to protect them.

It must have been a huge shock to Serpens, who had no choice but to kill himself for that purpose.

As a child, Serpens never received any affection from his parents.

Instead, he was forced to have altruism and morality that was difficult to understand as a young man.

One day, as usual, it happened while I was studying.

Surprised when he saw the worm suddenly crawling out, he hit it with a book and accidentally killed it.

The hero who saves the world doesn't value life...

Because they had to feel their pain, young Serpens were exposed to violence to the point of breaking their bones.

But one day, in Serpens' eyes, it looks more like a living thing than a worm.

He was wounded and imprisoned, and was forced to kill a defenseless monster.

"In order to save the continent, we will have to kill many monsters in the future. It would be good to know our weaknesses in advance."

"But I'm so defenseless, I'm so afraid "

little serpens didn't understand

all.

Facing those eyes full of desire to live, he suffered.

It is a being that eats the continent. To sympathize with such a thing, what the hell...

His parents questioned and rebuked his morals.

Over and over again, he caught a defenseless monster and forced him to kill it.

It was sometimes in the form of an animal, and at other times it took on a human-like form.

Where to stab to kill easily, where to cut to incapacitate

learned that

Seeing Serpens still reluctant to kill, his father, the then Duke of Prasidus, described it as a 'necessary evil.

And it continued until Serpens felt no emotion over the act.

Serpens learned the 'necessary evil'.

Since then, Serpense's parents have always made him suffer.

Because of that, Serpens felt like he was going to die.

So serpens kill them

did with

The savior who must save the world must not die before disaster strikes.

This was a 'necessary evil'.

When Serpens was not chosen by the Holy Sword, those around him began to doubt his personality.

He remembered the faces of his parents who rebuked his morals.

After killing them, my barely open breathing became choked again.

'Now that they are no longer their saviors, why... ?'

Anyway, he couldn't become the master of the holy sword.

So, we don't need any further effort to save them, do we?

So, isn't it okay to be selfish like everyone else?

Serpens remembered the things he had prepared in advance for when the demon cults were going to start moving in earnest.

I turned the tip of the sword called 'Necessary Evil', which I prepared with the thought that it could be used as a bait to lure them out.

I decided to use it to save myself, not the world.

It's the little selfishness he's ever had for the first time in his life.

Serpence is very little. I felt my breath tighten a little.

Since then, he has usurped the power of the Holy Lumen Empire.

On the outside, he still looked like an adult gentleman, but behind the scenes, he had no hesitation in wielding the power of the dark house.

At last, the Holy Lumen Empire was placed in the hands of Serpens, both in the sun and in the shadows.

In the meantime, the owner of the holy sword, without knowing anything, pilgrimaged the continent.

He overcame the ordeal given by God and nurtured his strength.

Growing up, sometimes saving people.

However, the demon worshipers were scattered all over the world, so it was difficult to find their base.

'Nevertheless, the protagonist did not receive any support from the New Holy Lumen Empire.'

It is to save the continent, not anything else.

However, the Holy Empire, which should be the focal point in matters involving demons, has not played any role.

For this reason, Humanus gathered his colleagues to equip himself with power and intelligence.

With the intelligence of the forces they have, Humanus is the dark side of the Holy Empire.

first discovered its existence.

'At the same time, the story of demon worshipers hiding there... .'

And in the process of fighting the summoned demon and cleaning up the Dark House, I found a document that the Dark House and Serpens were intertwined.

'Actually, it was a different book.'

Serpence was so thorough that he left no evidence.

The demon worshipers, who considered his existence as a threat, used it as a check, and it was nothing more than a sneak peek at him if he didn't believe him.

Surprisingly, however, most of the fabricated evidence came true.

About this part, one-third of the readers cursed the probability of being forced to eat it.

One-third snorted at Serpens's ability, leaving no evidence behind.

And the other 1/3

[Mix, the devil's camp, you're lucky =1 A A]

had the same reaction.

I , was the laughing side.

"Khom !"

In any case, should we say that Humanus has passed over to alienation, or that he has implemented justice?

I could win against him.

However, Humanus regarded Serpens as a friend.

Serpens had a different idea, but Humanus couldn't afford to kill him.

In the end, he's about to kill Serpens.

locked up in a new prison

And, knowing the dark side of Serpence, the demon worshipers sneaked in.

Thanks to this, Serpens, who was able to escape, join their forces after that.

borrow this place,

[Unexpected gukkkuk scout tuk kug]

I reflect on myself for a moment, who once again laughed.

The three who were so attached to the devil's camp

Due to Lepence's maneuver, the Holy Lumen Empire collapsed.

Still, because of the work of the dark family, the nobles were excluded because they were tied up like sausages, so the vacancy was left open.

It was good to catch the demons that started appearing all over the continent, and Humanus, who was running all over the place, burned to ashes before he could even use his hands.

The Holy Land was devastated, and the Pope died.

A power struggle broke out within the denomination, and sects were divided.

All sorts of spurious new pseudo-religions took over, and the devil-worship forces invaded between them.

Hugh Manus, the Crown Prince of the Holy Lumen Empire, became the Nakdong River duck egg in an instant.

The other countries, who saw their empire collapse in an instant, moved back and forth to alleviate immediate damage instead of joining forces.

In the end, all preparations for the demon lord to be summoned were finished.

So the demon king descended on the continent

I was reverse summoned at the speed of light.

Serpence, who had been pretending to help the summons, hit the back of the head.

He ate up the power of the summoned demon king.

That amazing situational word 1,

[There used to be a Demon King 1, there is no more.]

say,

[Demon King, it's easy in 10 seconds. It's easy, isn't it?]

There were a lot of comments.

However, Serpens faced a predetermined defeat due to the truth that there was no business in Dagul, despite the power of the Demon King he had gained at the most.

"Does this look like a happy ending?"

But absolutely not.

Warlocks who had leveled up as heretics from a demon worship group attacked all over the continent using demons to collect sacrifices.

Wars were also waged through infidelity.

Sometimes demons were also summoned.

The continent, which had been scattered and had become nothing but chaos, was no longer their opponent.

No matter how much Humanus ran around to help, the continent was too wide.

Because of that, the entire continent had already been ridiculed to the fullest.

All the key forces that summoned the Demon King died.

But what remains is the ravaged land and a mountain of corpses.

Even the remnants of demon worshipers remained.

Not 5 minutes before the opening, but the opening itself.

Somehow, such a situation had to be prevented.

He wanted to accuse them of the location of their headquarters, but it was impossible.

He succeeded in summoning the Demon King for about 10 seconds without any interruption.

Humanus did not get there, and as a result, the location of the main camp of the demon cult is not mentioned in the novel.

As such, they will not even be able to find a clue until they begin their full-fledged activities.

So, the Holy Lumen Empire had to be a strong backbone of the protagonist without being destroyed.

The Luxmea Church had to unite people with the power of faith.

All countries had to unite and send troops to all continents.

You must somehow gather a manpower to hunt down the warlocks and find their base.

And there is only one person who can solve all of these.

Not only did he prevent the empire from collapsing, but he was also politically talented enough to unite the continents based on it.

'what? However, the divine power is strong enough to be wary of the demon worshipers, and the force is also of a perfect level, so can we fight together if we have enough?'

Yes. It was Serpens.

Even if he hadn't gone astray in the first place, the damage to the continent would have been reduced to less than half.

That is the reason why I quietly accepted my resignation, even though I said my resignation to myself.

At the very least, if I hadn't been Serpence's aide, I would have jumped out of the country without thinking about it.

I would have lived there for as long as possible.

'But the situation is too complicated... .'

As if I was aiming, I got possessed the day before the first day of work.

Like,

"'Did you understand the situation? Then you know what to do from now on, right?"

Timing like saying.

Originally, people were not meant to be rewritten, but since there is no other way and there is no substitute, let's rewrite the final boss.

'So, Duke, please repent!'
