A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 230 – The Crisis Becomes Reality

Bill, an ambiguous direct descendant of the Galois family, and his butler Anton were traveling to the sanctuary on horseback.

Since there were no bandits or highwaymen in the Grand Duchy of Galois, they were unarmed and wearing only light clothing.

After riding the horse for a while without hesitation, the two finally arrived at the entrance to the sanctuary, where only the direct descendants of the family could enter.

However, there was no road to what appeared to be the entrance to the sanctuary, and only weeds were growing thickly.

“What, why are there so many weeds at the entrance to the sanctuary?”

“I guess no one paid attention because of the competition for successor within the family.”

“Damn.”

The weeds grew so thick that the two people, who did not have the right tools to deal with them, had no choice but to move forward by using their bodies to fight through the bushes.

As we made our way through the weeds and bushes, the Galois family’s sanctuary began to appear in the distance.

However, the Galois family’s sanctuary was so overgrown with weeds and shrubs that it completely covered the exterior walls.

Bill became angry when he saw the family sanctuary covered with weeds and bushes.

The family sanctuary is a place where family members gather once a year to offer ancestral rites to the family’s ancestors.

Therefore, the sanctuary must always be managed neatly.

However, the fact that the family’s sanctuary is covered with bushes and weeds means that no one paid attention to it.

“Did no one really care… ? …”

“I don’t think that’s what you would say.”

“It’s noisy.”

Bill parried Anton’s tackle.

She then pledged that if she were to become the head of the family, the first thing she would do was hire someone dedicated to keeping the family’s sanctuary clean.

To enter the sanctuary, you had to open the door, but the tightly closed door could not be opened because of the vines and various bushes.

“First of all, I think we need to clear away some bushes and trees to enter the sanctuary.”

“Isn’t that a cabin over there?”

As Bill was wondering how to clear the bushes and trees blocking the entrance to the sanctuary, she noticed an old building that appeared to be Antoni’s cabin.

“What? “What kind of cabin is here?”

“I think it was used by the person who originally managed this sanctuary?”

The two opened the old door of the cabin and went inside.

Surprisingly, the interior of the cabin was relatively clean even though no one had used it for a long time.

“Here’s an ax and a knife for clearing the bushes.”

“Then let’s roughly organize the trees with this and then go in.”

Bill and Anton roughly gathered tools from the cabin that appeared to be the caretaker’s and began removing the bushes and trees at the entrance to the sanctuary.

Anton was able to do the removal work skillfully because he had done many different things while working as a butler.

Bill, a nobleman, had done many different jobs, so he was able to easily remove bushes or cut down trees.

After putting in a lot of effort for a couple of hours, we were able to remove all the bushes that were blocking the entrance to the sanctuary.

“I really have to go in now.”

“Then let’s go in.”

Bill and Anton opened the door to the sanctuary and entered inside.

The footsteps of the two people began to fill the quiet interior of the sanctuary.

As we trudge deeper into the sanctuary, we see a ceremony held to honor the ancestors of the Galois family.

The altar was revealed.

“What should I do?”

“You can just go and spill your blood on the altar.”

“Blood?”

Bill frowned at Anton’s comment that his blood should be shed on the altar.

“Is this accurate?”

“Exactly. It must be certain because it was contained in a book in the abandoned library of the Galois family.”

“The family library is where a fire broke out before, right?”

“Yes. “They must have set the fire to prevent someone from getting the information there.”

In Anton’s words, Bill thought that the way he spoke was very believable.

There must be a lot of important information in the family’s old library, so why bother destroying it by setting it on fire?

Perhaps the family was trying to conceal forever the information it was hiding.

So Bill followed Anton’s instructions and slightly cut the tip of his finger with the brush removal knife he had brought.

A small drop of blood formed from the tip of the finger and he cut with a knife.

And drops of blood fell on the altar.

The drop of blood that fell on the altar was instantly absorbed into the altar, and a huge, formless feeling of intimidation began to fill the sanctuary.

[Who is the being who woke me up from my sleep?]

A profound voice echoed within the sanctuary amidst a great sense of intimidation.

Bill instinctively realized that the entity that spoke to him was the sealed entity that Anton had mentioned.

“It’s me.”

[Thank you for waking me up. What did you want that brought you here?]

The sealed being spoke to Bill.

Does he know that she came to him because Bill wanted something?

“Hey, power! “Give me strength!”

Bill told the sealed being what she wanted.

Even though Bill was her immediate descendant, the reason he was unable to enter the race to succeed her was because he lacked power.

However, if she received power from the sealed being, she could once again enter the race for successor and take over the Galois family.

[What are you trying to do with your power?]

“It will be at the pinnacle of the family. So, I want to make the family my own.”

Currently, the only direct descendant of the family is Irene.

Although Bill was a direct descendant, he was actually treated as a collateral relative, so in reality, Irene was the only direct descendant.

But what if Bill gains power and takes down Irene as her successor?

At that time, everyone would recognize Bill as the successor to the Grand Duchy of Galois.

At least Bill was confident that it would happen.

[She is faithful to her own desires. I like it. Release my seal! If you do so, I will promise you enormous power.]

The sealed being demanded that Bill released her own seal.

In return, he promised to give her his power.

“What should I do?”

[She shed more blood. If you do so, enormous power will be given to you.]

At the words of the sealed being to sacrifice more of her blood, Bill did not hesitate and lifted up her ax and struck down her own arm.

Then the skin of her was cut, the veins were torn, and the blood poured out onto the altar.

[Hmm, that’s good! This is it! The seal is gradually being released! I will give you enormous power! Accept it!]

Bill was able to forget the pain of her wounds after hearing the being’s words that her her own seal her her her she was being released.

She then clearly felt a tremendous amount of power flowing into her from the altar.

Hehe, this is the power that only the matriarch can use!”

Bill was so intoxicated by the enormous amount of power flowing from her altar that she slowly began to lose her mind.

And, taking advantage of that opportunity, Anton brought a brush removal sword and stabbed it into Bill’s neck.

“Wow, wow!”

Bill, who was stabbed with a sword in her neck, could only squeak.

“Everything will be done according to His will.”

When Anton stabbed Bill in the neck, it was his intention from the beginning.

[Now, accept the power, and death becomes the key to unlocking my seal!]

“Keeeee!”

The sealed began to infuse more power into Bill’s body her.

Then Bill’s body slowly began to swell.

Bill’s body, which continued to receive power, felt like a leather bucket on the verge of bursting.

However, the power flowing from the altar continued to swell Bill’s body hers.

―Boo!

In the end, Bill’s body exploded after receiving too much force.

His body was shattered, and pieces of meat mixed with bone fragments flew everywhere.

Among them, the only ones that were intact were Anton and the altar.

“Great Spirit, please appear here in the flesh. Your will will be done on earth. A time is coming when everyone will tremble in fear and live in fear.”

Anton approached the altar and began to chant a spell.

[You who serve me, you have done well. As a reward, I will grant you the opportunity to become one with me.]

“I will accept your will.”

When the beings sealed on the altar spoke of becoming one, Anton took out a sword from his arms and stabbed himself in the neck.

Then his body fell on the altar, and a huge wave that started from the altar began to surround the entire sanctuary.

Each time the wave spread, the traces of Bill scattered inside the sanctuary slowly began to disappear.

As the wave passed a few more times, not only the traces of Bill but also Anton’s body began to disappear little by little.

Finally, the wave completely stopped, the altar split apart, and a naked red-bodied giant appeared within it.

Haha! Finally, it’s finally time to fulfill my long-held wish! Be afraid, world! I, the Lord of Terror, have descended here! “I will once again bring fear to this land!”

With the red giant’s cry, waves of tremendous power spread out in all directions.

“What is this power?”

The power was such that even Tarun, who was wiping out the remnants of El-Romed, could feel it.

Tarun knew who this power was.

It was Caledrox, the Lord of Fear who could be said to be the true threat to this world.

Tarun realized that the time had come and headed to the Bregern Empire.

To meet Alberto, the only hope in this world.
