chapter 8
8 – #008 Betrayal is a human nature.
Arhan fell into agony.
He found the Undertaker.
He clearly came looking for himself.
Rumors racked his brain, and he thought and thought again about The Undertaker’s intentions.
Why do you want to go to Storm Island?
There are rumors that the devil’s seed actually belongs to The Undertaker, but maybe he made a terrible mistake himself?
“Ah! Does anyone know the whereabouts of The Undertaker?! The Emperor will reward you himself!”
The sound of soldiers shouting in the distance echoes.
Arhan stretched out his hand towards his soldiers and then it automatically lowered.
-Please rest in peace for the deceased.
I remembered the image of him praying with his hands tightly together.
Although his fighting power is weak compared to the ‘Strategy Group’, he reminded me of him who ran and fought whenever he was needed.
Then.
One day, I remembered the ‘she’ standing next to him.
“……!!”
Arhan realized.
If she is looking for her Undertaker, he knows he can be of great help to her.
-Arhan. One day I will come to find Arhan.
-In my original hometown, there are things that can replace severed arms and legs. I’ll paste that.
-I’ll go find you as soon as I defeat the demon king, so please wait until then.
– Hello, my love.
“Ah, Lady Sena…! My lady…!”
Calling out the real name of the femme fatale, Arhan stepped forward, barely using his crutches.
“Look!”
“Ugh.”
The soldiers who saw him frowned, but he didn’t care and pointed his eyes at the flyers his soldiers were holding.
“I saw The Undertaker’s ball! I’m Arhan, the former Commander of the Holy Knights!”
“Arhan…? Oh, no way?”
“Did you really see The Undertaker’s ball?!”
“Of course! I swear to the goddess!”
Even though I’m the former Knight Commander, I swear to the goddess?
“Please wait here for a moment. I will report to the superiors.”
It didn’t seem like it was simply a report to get a bounty, and the soldiers immediately contacted the upper line using magic tools.
“Yes, yes. That’s…”
Flash!
How many minutes have passed?
The soldiers who were conversing through magic tools were frozen in the presence of beings that appeared with teleportation magic.
“Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor!!”
“Where is the captain of the Knights of Arhan?”
How long has it been since you reported?
In less than 3 minutes, the emperor appeared using magic himself.
“Kuh…!”
As Arhan, it was very difficult to face the emperor directly.
Apparently, the emperor is also the one who openly stated that ‘the femme fatale is my empress’, and he is a much greater man than himself.
“Arhan Knight Commander. Is it true that you met Lord Undertaker?”
“…That’s right. Just one day ago, Lord Undertaker came to see me.”
“What?! Then why didn’t you report it sooner?!”
“That, that’s it.”
Arhan shrank at the emperor’s threatening voice.
He was just telling the truth as it was, but the emperor’s expression looked at him as if he had committed a mortal sin.
“…I was able to report it with my own body, just barely.”
“Keugh. So where is he? What did they exchange?”
“That…”
Moments.
Arhan’s senses flashed.
If The Undertaker moves at the request of a femme fatale, then the emperor must be aware of his movements, but the emperor goes on a rampage like this?
Couldn’t they talk to each other at all?
Then.
“…I will give the report directly to the femme fatale.”
“What?”
“I took him as my master. Faith follows the goddess, but my heart follows her.”
“This cheeky.”
It’s filthy and pathetic, but as a man, you can’t break your pride.
Even if the emperor were her opponent, she still had a promise to herself.
“I will speak directly to the femme fatale. Please take me to the femme fatale.”
“…A cheeky bastard.”
The emperor stretched out his hand to the soldiers, opened the distance, and approached Arhan.
“You, be honest. How far did you go with Sena…?”
“…Huh.”
As soon as he saw the emperor’s expression, Arhan twisted the corner of his mouth.
His opponent is the emperor, and he himself is a wounded soldier and a beggar, but as a man, he has one thing to show off his pride.
“The femme fatale and I… Made a promise to the future. I will keep it until the femme fatale dies. Day and night. Always.”
The moment Arhan uttered those words.
“His Majesty must-“
Fu-wook!
The sword pierced the chest.
Without warning, the Emperor’s sword pierced Arhan’s stomach.
“You bratty bastard. She’s never made love to any man before. Because I have to be the first.”
The emperor drew his sword from Arhan without even wiping the blood from his face.
“I don’t believe anything she says about her trash, who has been abandoned by her.”
“Bur, are you abandoned…? No…! I’m not abandoned…! I’m…!”
“Die.”
Denggung.
Arhan’s head was blown off.
The emperor turned his blood-dripping sword sideways roughly, then turned his head behind him.
“…Contact the owner of the mage tower right away. After reading your memory with necromantic magic, I will figure out where Undertaker disappeared. If this is a lie, I will burn them all without leaving a corpse. “
The emperor’s eyes were full of murder.
“…Where is she talking about her with that her dirty mouth. This nasty thing.”
Arhan is dead.
With only one sense of superiority toward the emperor.

“You should have reported it? You should have reported it. You didn’t even give me money.”
Over the sea going down to the southwest by boat.
I enjoyed the wind on deck, anxious to see if a pursuer might come from far away from Lisboa.
“Arhan can’t just keep her mouth shut.”
He would have reported me for money.
Those who are a bit more thoughtful will quickly understand that looking for me in various places, including empires and kingdoms, is not looking for a hero of mankind, but rather a ‘wanted criminal’.
Huge bounty drops just by telling me where I am and where I am?
After the war, I can become a stepping stone for recovery for those who lost a lot in the battle with the demon king.
It is to earn a huge amount of money by informing me, and become the basis for a new life in a world without the demon lord.
Arhan could appoint someone who can help with his livelihood if it’s a reward for reporting me.
You must have reported it.
Whether it’s for money.
Or…
“Tsk. I can’t believe I’m an idiot that far.”
If you reported me to impress the femme fatale.
What if I let my imagination run wild and then leaked my whereabouts to meet a femme fatale?
I want you to be such a pitiful human being.
And at the same time, the woman who made the leader of the knights unable to get out of her was disgusting.
“…I wonder if the emperor or the owner of the tower knows. I fell for the ‘superpower’ given by the goddess.”
I covered one eye with my hand.
God’s Eye.
I have a special ability that I don’t have.
Usually, it is expressed as the Mystic Eye, but since it is realized by the power of the goddess, it is called the Shin Eye.
Also, femme fatales have the magical eye of ‘fascination’ to match their name.
Originally a femme fatale, Min Sena was a fishery manager who was bewitched by this man and that man’s own, and her fascinated god’s eye was her greatest ability.
With that, he subdued all kinds of humans, including the emperor, into himself.
While we were fighting the demon king-kun, the woman was drinking in the imperial palace, enjoying a sophisticated party with three men she carried like her handbag.
“That sounds like sh*t.”
Then pretending to be the hero who defeated the demon king?
When she returns to Earth, she wants to expose how many men she has brainwashed and made them fall under her skirt.
Splash.
Just as I was thinking about Minsena, I began to see a storm in the distance.
From the outside, it’s just an ordinary island.
The reason why it was called Storm Island is because it is usually difficult to access when there is a storm.
“We have arrived.”
“Thank you.”
I gave the boatman all the cash I had brought.
“If anyone asks you if you burned me, tell me that Undertaker threatened me from behind with a knife.”
“Hmph. Did you think I would listen to the words of the warrior from the other world?”
The boatman lifted his stop at me.
“Let’s see. I’ve never driven a hero like Undertaker to Storm Island, and I’ve never met one. I don’t want to meet a mortician who buries people when they die.”
“…May you pass safely.”
I greeted the boatman lightly, then took out the certificate to the soldiers approaching me from the port.
“This is the certificate of the leader of the Knights of Arhan. I am the Undertaker. I am the undertaker.”
“Ah…? What happened to the hero here…?”
“I came to check Kramuta. If he has the devil’s factor, he will try to kill him.”
“……!!”
The soldiers left the road with nervous faces, and I headed straight to the deepest part of Storm Island – the prison where Kramuta the Storm was imprisoned.
“…Did you come to laugh at me?”
Beyond the prison sealed with all sorts of magic.
A dark elf woman with scars all over her body is staring at me with blood red eyes sparkling.
“You son of a b*tch…! Even without you, the Demon King could have made the world his own!”
“If you twist it, you should have summoned a hero from the other world.”
Ignoring the Dark Elf’s words, I grabbed the ‘Demon King’s Sword’ hanging on one side and opened the seal.
“…….”
One thing to check.
I took out a black ring from my bosom, put it down on the floor, and spread the distance.
Then.
Slowly!
I swung the demon king’s sword with all my might toward the ring.
