Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Super Long-Range Sniping

 After sending Byron back, I was holding Leviathan in my room . (TN: I swear it sounds weird)

 Leviathan, a demon sword and also my loyal dog .

 I wasn’t worried about betrayal or anything like that because of its fierce ‘personality’, but I did want to figure out what it could do for me .

 So I was asking Leviathan and asked what other things it could do and to try those things on a smaller scale .

 Just then, there was a knock on the door of the room .

“Enter”

 I gave my permission and Zoe, the maid, came in .

I was touching Leviathan while waiting to see what she wanted, but Zoe didn’t say anything for any length of time .

So I looked at her again, wondering .

“What’s wrong, you don’t look well?”

 Zoe looked like a dead person with a bloody look on her face .

She freaked out when I asked, then slumped into a cowering position and got down on her knees to me .

“What the matter … . ”

 As expected, this wasn’t just a normal thing, I got up from my seat and stood in front of Zoe .

“Th- this …”

 Zoe held out a small leather bag with her quivering hands

 I received and opened the bag .

 There was money inside .

“What’s this? It’s a lot of money … hmm, 500 reens or so?”

 Immediately after I mentioned it, I noticed something .

 Zoe is just a maid at the residence of 13th Prince, and is paid more than someone who works outside .

 That said, she shouldn’t have received enough to save 500 reens .

 In the first place, she was about to be sold to a brothel a while ago because she had no money .

 She couldn’t have such an amount by any means .

“ST-, a stranger gave it to me . That person said if I give this to Master, this money will be my reward . ” 

 Her voice was shaky and her content was to the point .

 I accepted the small bottle Zoe offered me, then took the lid off and sniffed it .

“What’s this?”

“He said something about sleeping pills . ”

“…… Heh?”

“I’m sorry!”

 As the tone of her voice lowered, Zoe made more and more of a flat-out apology as she rubbed her forehead against the floor .

“They want you mix this into my drink or something and hand it over if I pass out, right?”

“Y-Yes!”

“I see . ”

 I looked at Zoe, who was completely frightened, and thought .

 It’s probably the Almerians again .

 They tried to attack me and failed, so now they’re trying to bribe my maids to kidnap me .

 They want me that badly, it seems .

 But we’ll leave it at that .

 I turned to Zoey .

“Get your head up . ”

 I said .

“Ha, yes ……”

“You’ve made your point . But why did you bring this to me?”

“I cannot betray my master! You even helped me and the village I live in . ”

“Hmm . ”

“But he threatened to kill me if I didn’t do it, and he forced me to take these pills and money . But I couldn’t betray my master . Um, um, …… . ”

 Perhaps she was still panicking, but there were so many “buts” in Zoe’s words that she couldn’t seem to say what she wanted to say very well .

 Still, I got the general idea of the story .

“They threatened you and made you grab a lot of money, but you still couldn’t betray me, so you came to confess . So that’s it . ”

“Yes!”

“Okay . ”

 I turned myself around and went back to the chair I had been sitting in earlier and quickly ran a pen over the paper on the table .

 I come back to Zoe again and hand it to her .

“Is this ……?”

“This is your reward . They tried to buy your betrayal with 500 reens . And since you didn’t betray me, I’ll add one zero to that . ”

“one more 0 …… 5000 reens!?”

“Yeah, I put my signature on it . You can get it from the accountant tomorrow . ”

“Oh, no! I can’t take it!”

“You should have it for not ratting me out . ”

 An invitation to betrayal, a big money reward .

 Zoe couldn’t get her head around the whole thing, and she was left to her own devices .

“Thank you …… thank you …… . Master is a really big caliber ……”

“But you need to do one more thing for me . ”

“–Hey! I’ll do it! I’ll do anything!”

“Hm, I’ll take these pills . If I pass out, just do what they tell you to do and hand me over to them . ”

“…… eh . ”

“Once you hand me over, you run and hide immediately, and no doubt they will try to shut your mouth . ”

“…………”

 Zoe was still in a state of confusion and didn’t come back .

 As I watched her, I simulated in my mind what I needed to do .

 I woke up and found myself in total darkness .

 I was tied up hand and foot, lying on what looked like hay .

 It’s a hut somewhere, and from the smell it looks like a stable or something .

“Hey, the fire’s going out . Go get some wood . ”

“All right . You just keep an eye on the kid . ”

“Hey, why don’t we take that dagger and kick it to the curb? That’s all you have to do . ”

“They told me that was a last resort, you idiot . Are you going to admit to yourself, ‘I couldn’t catch a single child’?”

 I heard a coarse-talking voice from outside the hut .

 They got me .

 I shook my head on the hay .

 My ears chattered behind my ears, and after a few shakes, something popped out .

 The one that came out was something the size of a pea grain, and when it came out of my ear, it returned to its original size .

 Demon sword, Leviathan .

 I touched it, and it transformed the linked ring and cut the rope binding my limbs .

 I ask Leviathan about the situation .

 A moment later, an image ran through my mind .

 I told Zoe in the mansion .

 I could never take it with me when I got caught, so I made the Leviathan, which can change size, into a pesized piece and hid it in my ear . Unlike weapon, the ring can’t be removed, so I left it in place .

 Then I took the pills Zoe had brought me, my consciousness was cut off here .

 This is where Leviathan’s memories came from .

 Zoe left the room, and a short time later, several men dressed in black entered the room .

 The men tied my hands and feet, Zoe quietly disappeared at this point .

 The men carried me away from the mansion and pushed me into the back of a carriage waiting outside and drove the carriage .

 We left the capital and took a short break for the night at a great distance .

 What I thought was a stable, it seemed, was simply the back of the wagon, covered with a cloth .

 I untied the rope and grabbed the leviathan and told him to work hard .

 The Loyal Sword Leviathan was so delighted by that alone that a dog’s tail would have been torn off, and the joy flowed directly into my heart .

 I stood up and slashed the cloth that was covered with it with a slash .

“What!”

“The kid is on the move!”

“Who’s the one! The one who didn’t tie the rope properly!”

 I stand on the back of the cart and look around .

 An empty grassy field, a little off the road .

 Ten men in black were sitting around a bonfire .

 I moved, but there was no tension whatsoever .

 The kid made a move – they are carefree cause they think that I am just a kid .

 I leapt at the guys from the back of the truck .

 The nearest man who saw me like that and laughed at me .

 In a flash, the man’s throat was slashed and blood spurted out in a terrific gush .

“What!”

“You little shit!”

 The expression on the men’s faces finally changed after one of them was killed, and they all drew their swords and pointed their cutting edges at me .

“Too slow . ”

 The hostile spirit finally came out, but the feeling of crisis was still fatally lacking .

 However, I’m not going to point it out to them, though, I kept wielding my Leviathan and cut them all down with the Leviathan’s sword technique .

 There were ten of them in total . It didn’t even take a minute .

“That was a waste of time . ”

 I chuckled .

 I took Zoe’s sleeping pills, knowing that Leviathan would tell me later what it saw and heard from me .

 I was captured, and while I was asleep, I ordered Leviathan to listen to the secrets told by the men who held me captive .

 But I didn’t get much information .

 They are part of the Almerian Rebellion, and since they failed in their previous raids, they have bribed their servants to kidnap me and take me back to Almeria .

 I didn’t have any more information than that, so I took care of him .

“Well, let’s go home–hmm?”

 Which way to the Imperial City? And as I looked at the front and back of the street, I saw countless lights coming towards me in the distance .

 After waiting for a while, a squad of soldiers approached us holding a torch .

 Along with that soldier, I saw Zoe .

 They’re coming for me .

“My lord!”

 Zoey looked at me like she was terribly worried about me .

“What’s this?”

“Yes! I’m worried about master, so, I mean, I asked the soldiers to help me . ”

“So, You came here to help me . ”

 Zoe nodded vigorously .

“Well, good job then,”

“But …… this is ……”

 Zoe looks at me, then at the men in black who are falling around me, then at the leviathan I have again .

“Is this done by master alone ……?’

“Yeah . ”

“Awesome ……”

 Zoe murmured, and the group of soldiers buzzed .

 Well, I didn’t need any help, but it helps to have a manpower .

“You guys, who’s the captain?”

“Ha!”

 A young man stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and bowed to me .

“It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince . ”

“I’ll have you bring these guys in . They attacked me a few days ago, have them look for anything in common . ”

“I understand!”

 The captain had his men carry the body of the kidnapper away under my orders .

 Then I heard a cracking sound .

 I looked down and saw that a dagger had fallen from one of the bodies onto the ground and was resting on a rock .

“—-!”

 The moment I saw it, my whole body shuddered .

 Murderous intent .

 A tremendous killing intent could be felt from that dagger .

“Don’t touch that . ”

 I stopped the soldier who was trying to pick it up and stood in front of the dagger and stared at it .

 This is the dagger that the men were talking about when I woke up …… .

 Through the Leviathan, I can feel a “curse” along with a killing intent .

 It’s not just a dagger, it’s also a spell and the human thoughts that went into it – a great deal of resentment .

…… Maybe…

 I drew my leviathan and set it up .

“Can you do it?”

 When I asked it, the reply was yes .

“Then, do it!”

 The moment the order is given, Leviathan is overjoyed .

 Immediately after that, a column of water gushed into the heavens from the blade I raised .

 It’s much thinner than the one I shot before, only about as thick as a six-year-old’s arm .

 It did however ascend to the sky and then turned and went flying on the way .

 Far, far away .

 Even farther away than over the horizon, the water column flew away .

 Zoe, and the soldiers .

 They all looked unsure of what had happened .

 The next day, in the royal palace’s flower garden .

 As soon as His Majesty saw me when I was summoned, he smiled happily .

“Great, Noah, well done!”

 He came toward me faster than I could kneel down and bow, grabbing my shoulder and revealing his joy .

“What exactly sire,”

“A man named Baker, the rebel leader, was apparently shot between the eyes by a water column that appeared out of nowhere last night . It was Noah, wasn’t it?”

“…… Yes . ”

 I’m half surprised and half relieved .

 The surprising thing is that His Majesty’s ears are still very quick .

 Of course I was relieved that Leviathan’s ultrlong range snipe was successful .

 That dagger, a dagger with a tremendous curse and grudge, was used as a marker to snipe the Lord of the grudge with the Leviathan .

 Leviathan said it could be done, but I was a little concerned about its ability to reach Almeria, which is almost in the middle of nowhere .

“The loss of the leader has decimated the rebel chain of command . Henry has told me that they will be catapulted in a few days . Well done, Noah!”

 His Majesty praised my accomplishments with the most excited feeling ever .
