Overpowered Sword Chapter 175

Level up with swords (175)

Clyde Empire.

It was the name of an absolute monarchy that had written hundreds of years of history as a conqueror, ruler, and invader, one of the few great powers on the continent.

In its heyday, although it was a failure, hundreds of thousands of expeditions were sent to the Titan Mountains not once but several times, and due to the effects of the war of conquest that took place at that time, even today, countries bordering the country still pay tribute on their own.

From its beginnings to its heyday and now, the empire has never for a moment fallen from its position as a great power.

Prosperous, prosperous, prosperous.

Clyde, who absorbed wealth from neighboring countries and spent it generously on decorating himself, was at the top of culture and luxury.

Kalelum, the capital of the empire.

Even the high castle walls had beautiful jigsaws carved on their surfaces, and the roads paved with smooth, flawless marble looked more like works of art than roads. What about buildings that stand tall like towers? It was a spectacular view that was difficult to see outside of the empire.

Among them, the most luxurious building was decided.

The heart of the Clyde Empire.

The imperial palace was where the throne of the emperor who ruled this majestic and great empire was located.

Baekak Palace.

This is where the Emperor of the Clyde stays.

The garden itself is larger than that of a fairly small or medium-sized fiefdom, and it is a fortress with heavily armed guards stationed just a few meters apart and glaring all day long.

The height of the outer wall, which can also function as a castle wall, is a whopping 30 meters, and the number of magic circles operating inside the imperial palace, knowingly or unknowingly, is more than a hundred at best.

The strongest and most powerful water-based fortress capable of preventing a secret attack by a large number of sword masters with just the troops stationed at all times.

It is a castle that is truly the heart of the continent’s most powerful country, with not only overwhelming functionality but also beauty of its appearance.

But it wasn’t the sound that was echoing inside right now.

The desperate scream of someone who seemed to be covered in blood echoed within this beautiful castle.

“your majesty! “Please, please listen to what I say just once!”

A man with a grayish appearance hit his forehead on a hard floor tile. The skin was torn and fresh blood flowed, but the man paid no attention to it.

Marquis Walber.

He is a high lord who has served Clyde for 11 generations until the current generation and wields enormous influence in the western part of the empire. But the great nobleman was in tatters, begging for mercy in front of the emperor.

The emperor was sitting on top of a multi-story platform in front of him, who did not even dare to raise his eyes.

?The Light Emperor? Nex Imperium Gladius von Clyde.

The color added to the expressionless face with pale blonde hair and sharp edges makes it look like cruelty.

The appearance of an emperor who overpowers others with just his gaze.

After making Marquis Walber tremble in silence for a few seconds, Nex looked down at his back and spoke lazily.

“It’s okay.”

Then Marquis Walber begged in a desperate voice.

“I will bear the burden of not carrying out Your Majesty’s orders. I will return my territory to direct imperial rule and offer all the property and title that this poor old man has accumulated to your Majesty. So, please spare my wife and children!”

I literally gave it all away.

It would not be easy not to be swayed by the request that he spare his wife and children as he would even sacrifice his own life.

It was no one else but the Marquis Wolver. Among the great nobles, except for the royal family, who are among the top ten, and the dukes, who number only two, his status is higher than that of anyone else!

Even the nobles who had been dragged one after another while tied to ropes looked at them with distrust.

“…You’re still mistaken.”

However, Emperor Nex did not even lift an eyebrow.

“Your territory, your property, your title. “All of it has never been yours, so I will give it to you, so please save it?”

A cold, murderous look lingered in Nex’s bluish eyes.

As soon as he revealed his murderous intent, the air in the throne room became cold. Even though it is not my job, I feel pressure that makes it difficult to even breathe, as if the blade is crushing my purpose.

The person involved, the Marquis Walber, was lying face down and convulsing.

“I didn’t expect anything. You are the ones who have been calling themselves blue blood since they were born, sticking their snouts into this land like parasites and sucking blood. “I have no choice but to know what went wrong or where the mistake started.”

Nex returned with a dull expression and tapped the armrest of the throne with his fingers a few times.

No one, including the Marquis Walber, understood.

What did that crazy emperor want and what answer did he expect to come out of their mouths? As he said, those who were born as nobles and lived as nobles were unknown.

“You guys are not qualified.”

The emperor declared.

“Because you are born from a nobleman’s womb, you become a noble; because you are born from a slave’s womb, you become a slave. You guys try to stand above people just by having good parents. “I know that it is my natural right to hold wealth and power in one hand and wield them.”

It was not something the emperor, who could be said to be the biggest beneficiary of the class system, would say, but no one could refute it.

It was because the cold that reached the back of my neck made me feel like I would die if I left my lips. Moreover, this was especially true for those who knew the current emperor’s origins well.

Beneficiaries of the caste system?

The moment that sound was heard in front of NEX, it was clear that anyone who had even a drop of blood mixed with the person concerned would be burned at the stake.

“I won’t persuade you. I won’t understand. “I will not tolerate it.”

After denying their existence three times, Nex lowered his hand.

“Execute.”

At the same time, the knights of the royal guard drew their swords and immediately beheaded the people lined up behind Marquis Walber.

Sigh!

Hell was the same scene.

In an instant, the smell of blood fills the throne room, and dozens of bouncing heads roll on the floor, glaring at eyes that do not believe they are dead. The sound of a body falling down without its head felt almost unreal.

Marquis Walber, who jumped up at the sound and turned around, let out a scream-like yell.

“This guy—! A cruel and ruthless bastard! How could they treat us like this….”

“?Ruthless.”

Before he could finish speaking, Marquis Walber’s head flew up. Before he knew it, a guard knight had approached him and swung his sword.

The executions came to an end with the Marquis Wolver.

The throne room immediately fell into silence.

The guards began to collect the headless bodies and heads and clean up the pool of blood on the floor.

Nex looked at the scene and muttered quietly.

“After eradicating all remnants of the old world, I will open a new world. “A world where people are equal regardless of their origins… Only I can complete that world…”

The eyes that were once full of intelligence and cynicism have become unfocused, causing madness and chaos.

?The Light Emperor? Nex.

It was a name that was staining the Clyde Empire with blood.

* * *

Two men were standing in a secret passageway of the White Palace, in a place that no one except the royal family should know about.

Surprisingly, they were casually peering through the adamantium wall and watching the heads of nobles, including the Marquis Walber, fly off in real time.

Blood gushing like a fountain.

A corpse falling like a scarecrow.

Nobles who were adorned with tens of thousands of gold worth of luxury goods and even more authority died like trash.

“Foot puhuh hahahaha!!”

A man who was watching the tragedy burst out laughing.

“Wow, that’s cool! The sight of those stiff boughs being cut off like sheaves of rice! Very cool! amazing! As expected of my brother. “How much effort did you put into showing this production?”

Then the man who was standing calmly answered.

“…This is the 50th year.”

“50 years! As expected, I can’t even imitate your patience! There are already many brothers in Chaos who have short patience, but you are a bit different! “Infiltrating one plan directly and waiting for 50 years seems like something I wouldn’t be willing to die for.”

Bishop Necator of Ruin, a frivolous man, looked at him with narrow eyes like a snake.

Exorcism (Nine-Hell).

One of the nine strongest members of the Evil Church.

The number was reduced to eight after being killed by Irexana, but as long as one archbishop survives, the number can be increased. Nevertheless, it remained unchanged that each and every one of them was a cardinal-level master-level force of the Holy Church and a threat to the entire world.

“Can you teach me something too? If my eyes are still intact, that emperor is definitely a person born with ‘good nature.’ “How did you distort the qualities that could make you a saint to such a degree?”

Necator smiled with an excited expression.

“Is it drugs? Or a woman? “Have you been cursed since childhood?”

“…Not all three.”

Bishop Mors of Chaos said, a tall, grave man.

“I just lightly pushed him on the back. “The reason it went so crazy is because Nex’s original idealism ran wild in that direction.”

“Ideal theory? “That crazy guy?”

“You probably know the story of Nex’s origins.”

“of course.”

The current emperor, Nex, was originally a being who could not become an emperor. The late emperor poured out his love for a prostitute according to his own desires, and his blood, which should have been noble, was mixed with low and dirty blood.

Although it was a shame for the royal family who was not worth half a penny, the late emperor could not leave his blood relatives alone, so he summoned Nex to the villa and imprisoned him.

Nex’s mother died on the spot.

I had my head cut off while listening to nonsense that did not sound like words at all, such as saying that I was blessed because I gave birth to a grandson in a lowly body.

Nex, who was three years old at the time, saw it.

It was the memory that was most strongly engraved in his mind.

“From then on, I kept thinking about NEX. Why did his mother have to die so cruelly? Why is the emperor praised as a great man even though he embraces a woman and produces seed according to his own desires?”

There was no one to teach that to the child.

So Nex sought an answer using its own logic.

The root of all evil, which I came up with after thinking about it for several years, was the caste system. A system that gives power and rights to undeserving people and determines their happiness or unhappiness even though they were born there.

Even though he was born into the royal family, it was the moment when the seed of a crazy emperor who aimed to abolish the class system began to be born.

Perhaps he may have truly broken down the class system and created a world where people are treated according to their strengths and talents. It may have changed the world where talented people are abandoned due to unreasonable discrimination.

however.

“We made him emperor.”

It was the evil cult that made him emperor, even though he was not guided or looked down upon by anyone.

The birth of a king who should have become a king.

The ideal of breaking down the caste system soon degenerated into blind hatred toward the nobles and royal family who benefited from the caste system.

The massacre that took place just now was only a part of it.

“Good buried in oneself is self-righteousness, and self-righteousness will eventually become evil. “Nex just rationalized his idealism based on his childhood resentment.”

“Is it that damn human observation again? “It’s a shame.”

Necator said in a tired voice.

“For a , we can communicate well, but the brothers are also crazy after all. I’d rather just kill them all with a single sword rather than making things complicated like that. How good is it to line them up like before and behead them? is not it?”

“….”

“Wow, our tastes are so different. Thank you for showing me something good, but I’m going first. “See you later.”

When Necator left with those last words, Morse blinked and remained silent for a moment.

It doesn’t move like it’s a stone statue.

After standing like that for several hours, Morse had a sneer on his dull face. As befits a bishop of the sect, he had a facial expression whose mental image was distorted from the very beginning.

“…That’s foolish. You don’t know that the suffering of someone who wanders between good and evil is the sweetest. If all you want to do is kill and destroy, you are no different from a child who destroys everything he can get his hands on. It shouldn’t be like that. There’s no flavor. “Shouldn’t you enjoy it?”

If anyone had heard that monologue, they would have cried out that this was the voice of the devil.

You can taste the agony as sweet as honey.

The emotions of someone who was born as a human but then ceases to be human.

Bishop Mors of Chaos looked down at Nex, who was sitting on the throne, with merciful eyes.

“Now this is the opening of the comedy. Unfold your vision, my son.”

Morse, the Chancellor of the Clyde Empire, grinned.

And soon it disappeared in the secret passage.

50 years ago.

It was perhaps the beginning of chaos that had been planned long before that.
