CH 40.2

Kairos was very frustrated with Otto.

[What, are you an idiot? How can you fight the enemy with your head down like that?]

“Come on! I’ll die If I make eye contact!”

[Why don’t you just close your eyes and fight?]

“How can I fight with my eyes closed?”

[Just use your Mind’s eye! Is it all about the physical eyes? If you’re a true warrior…]

“Wishful thinking!”

[Well, I guess a mediocre like you couldn’t possibly reach the level of Mind’s eye, even if you’ve mastered the basics of Invincible Swordsmanship.]

It was unlikely that Otto, who had just started learning Invincible Swordsmanship, could reach the higher level of consciousness, such as the Mind’s eye.

It might be possible for someone like Kairos, who had once ruled the continent, but…

“You filthy b**tard! Inhale the scent of my poison!”

Calypso’s eyes turned green.

As a result, Otto felt his hands and feet tingling with the sensation of being poisoned.

It was Calypso’s skillful technique, ‘Poisonous Gaze’, that could poison the enemy with just a glance.

‘Even if I know the strategy… it’s not easy…’ Otto felt the sharp difference between the game and reality once again.

In the game, he could easily control and defeat Calypso.

But in reality, it was not easy to fight without making eye contact.

And on top of that, he was poisoned…

He wouldn’t die right away, but the symptoms would get worse over time.

He had to defeat Calypso within five minutes and get an antidote through magic treatment, not a potion…

[Tsk tsk. Looks like a guy who requires a lot of effort.]

Kairos clicked his tongue.

[At this rate, drinking plans seem to be difficult.]

“Th-the drink right now…isn’t the problem…”

[Be quiet and focus.]

Kairos said that and moved his own mace.

– Swish! -Thunk!

The mace flew at a fast speed and hit the back of Calypso’s head.

“Kyaaak!!”

Calypso screamed in pain.

[Now, do it!] Kairos shouted.

“Err, I don’t know!”

Otto swung his sword towards Calypso, taking advantage of the opening Kairos had created.

-Thunk!

The blue blood splattered.

“Kyaaaaak!”

Calypso, who received a fatal wound to the chest, spouted a fountain of blood and screamed in agony.

-Thunk!-Thunk! Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Meanwhile, the mace relentlessly hit the back of Calypso’s head.

[Since I helped you this much, finish it!]

Kairos shouted at Otto.

“Yes, I’ll finish it.”

Otto fully agreed with those words.

The mace wielded by Kairos dealt damage, but it constantly stunned Calypso.

A mace-shaped mace can’t cut or stab anything without a blade.

However, each blow deals significant damage and stuns the opponent upon impact.

As evidence, Calypso was currently stunned and unable to use her skills.

‘From the eyes.’

Otto didn’t miss the opportunity and thrust his sword towards Calypso’s eyes following the movements of Invincible Sword.

– Flash! -Flash!

Otto’s sword, which moved like a beam of light and pierced Calypso’s eyes accurately.

“Kyaaaaaaak!!!”

Calypso screamed in agony.

“Huup!”

Otto took a deep breath and swung his sword with full force.

-Creak!

Following a gruesome sound.

-Thud!

The severed head of Calypso rolled on the ground.

[Notification: You have defeated ‘Calypso’!]

[Notification: You have gained experience points!]

[Notification: You have reached level 78!]

[Notification: You have reached level 79!]

[Notification: You have reached level 80!]

As it was a boss monster, Otto received a tremendous amount of experience points and leveled up three times.

And…

– Ssshhh!

A green aura emanated from Calypso’s corpse and seeped into Otto.

[Notification: You have acquired the skill system ‘Calypso’s Eyes’!]

Thus, Otto successfully acquired one of the five abilities of the Invincible Emperor, ‘Calypso’s Eyes’.

***

“Your Majesty!”

Camille rushed towards Otto as he emerged from Sanctuary, taking a step forward.

-Thud!

However, as soon as Otto exited Sanctuary, he lost consciousness and collapsed, due to the severe symptoms of poisoning caused by Calypso’s ‘Poisonous Gaze’ skill.

“Young Master Otto has fallen! Everyone, protect!”

“””Yes!”””

The guards of Duke Conrad immediately surrounded Otto and Camille, creating a barrier of loyalty.

Currently, Otto’s position within the Koutachi clan, wad so ‘Valueable’ that he must be protected at all costs.

So, it was only natural that the guards of the Duke protected Otto when he collapsed.

“He seems to be experiencing symptoms of poisoning. He needs urgent treatment.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Otto was moved by Camille and the guards.

“What happened?”

Conrad, who heard this news while working, stood up from his seat.

“I will treat him myself! Where is he? Show me the way! Now!”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

Conrad immediately set off to treat Otto.
