Chapter 118

118angry avengers

A banquet was held to celebrate the victory..

Although they did not succeed in defeating the magic swordsman, the Japanese archipelago was currently in a gloomy mood..

Four S-class hunters representing the country died. More than a hundred class A hunters died..

In this atmosphere, in order to forget defeat, it is necessary to package victory more..

Fortunately, there is someone who can symbolize him. It's Leon..

-King God Emperor Leon Long Live His Majesty Black Black!!

-The future of humanity depends on His Majesty Leon.!

Neither the Japanese government nor the Jeon-Japanese Association wanted to cover up the fact that they were unable to defeat the Demon Sword despite the painful losses and the losses..

Moreover, it is an inconvenient fact that only Pantheon was the only one that played a significant role in the Demon Sword strategy..

Therefore, the result of this attack had to be packaged as a ‘victory’..

"Wow~"

Hari admires the splendid sight of the banquet hall..

The banquet hall outside the hotel boasted cool plantings, with a Japanese-style garden decorated with garden trees and a pond along a long walkway..

As I passed by the Japanese-style stone lantern road, which is often used as a wedding photo location, there were a lot of dishes lined up left and right, even though only the executives of each guild were gathered there..

I thought it was a traditional Japanese garden, but in this part, it feels like they were considerate of foreign guests by mixing in a Western-style banquet hall..

In one corner of the banquet hall, there is a luxurious banquet hall where musicians playing shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument, play leisurely music and staff dressed as waiters take care of the convenience of guests..

"Wow, sister, this is my first time seeing something like this.."

"me too. Oh, just give me the drink.."

Hari only received a glass from the waiter who offered him champagne..

"huh… Sister, I want to drink too."

"Uh-huh! no. What kind of alcohol are you still a child??"

"No, I'll be an adult in just a few months.?"

Suho whined, but Hari laughed and sipped champagne..

Suho stared with a blunt look at Hari, who was enjoying the banquet wearing a dress provided by the Japanese government..

"But sister. Isn’t your sister an employee of the association? Oh Kang-hyuk, the president of the association, and he should be over there.?"

Hot!

Hari's eyes turn to the center of the banquet hall. There, Prime Minister Fujisawa and Association Chairman Oh Kang-hyuk are exchanging well-wishes..

Behind the president of the association, Oh Kang-hyuk, the association's employees, including manager Kim Jin-soo, were waiting in formal attire..

Strictly speaking, Han Ha-ri, an association employee who is not a member of the Pantheon guild, should belong to that side..

"Suho."

"huh?"

"My sister lives... When are you going to be this strong??"

Be quiet. A fire blazed in Hari's golden eyes..

"What is it, senior??"

At that time, Jaehyuk intervened, fussing. He also wears a pretty stylish suit..

"Junior Jaehyuk is also enjoying the festival.?"

"What am I? If you are part of the pantheon, it is convenient because you are treated like a VIP.."

From hotel suits and dresses to banquets.

After the Demon Sword Battle, the Pantheon Guild has been treated almost like a state guest. Even every single soldier..

"I guess it was impressive to run across the sea and fight. Isn’t senior Hari also receiving quite a few interview requests??"

"perfection! I'm an employee of the association, so I'm just being called there.."

Pantheon is a huge hot issue in the Japanese archipelago..

The video of Leon's mythical battle exceeded 100 million views in three days..

I heard that they were promised 10 billion won in advertising revenue for each 5-minute video with just the highlights..

The Pantheon, which absorbed the Hanbit Palace, was already guaranteeing a fast speed of cultivating believers, and this battle attracted a great deal of attention..

It's natural that Leon receives a lot of attention in such a pantheon..

"Because His Majesty is not the type to give interviews one by one.."

"Queen Beatrice seems to be busy too.."

It is a long way to approach Number One and Number Two of the pantheon in Japan..

Each company in Japan naturally turned their attention to the figures in the pantheon..

-Han Hari Hunter! Is it true that Hunter Han Hari did the sacred method that made the guild members walk on the sea??

-Could you please explain the law?!

-You use water and fire at the same time. How is that possible?!

-Do you have any plans to become a hunter in Japan?!

"eww… I was a little scared. Was I caught by a hidden camera? That one hundred people suddenly flocking in?."

"They say high-ranking hunters are treated like celebrities... What kind of broadcast is this??"

Since the high-ranking executives of the organization are out of the blue, it was natural that people below them became targets. In the past few days, Jaehyuk has also received interview requests from reporters and even high-paying scouting offers..

"Both of you are having a hard time. Because everyone is interested in sexual law users.."

It has to be that way.

Beings who run the sea as a unit, create waves to sweep away enemies, and drop lightning into the dry sky..

There have been quite a few cases where unique skills have caused magical phenomena, but Holy Law was a power that was completely different from those..

"But where is Cheon So-yeon and Gijibae? Didn’t dogs get quite a bit of attention because they are also sexual users??"

"Come to think of it, I can't see your Majesty either.."

The three people looked around for the two people, but they were nowhere to be seen in the banquet hall..

* * * *

Soyeon ambled to the second floor terrace of the banquet hall..

Even though she is now an adult, a party dress with an off-the-shoulder side and side slits that highlights her leg line might be embarrassing, but it is a familiar outfit to her as she has participated in family parties since long ago..

-Miss Cheon So-yeon! You are the next guild leader of the Divine Sword Guild. Why are you active in the Pantheon??

A Japanese reporter who was quite persistent in requesting an unexpected interview..

Yes, she planned to go back someday. All that remains in the pantheon is to obtain the ‘holy law’..

However, there were no gods who gave their power to someone with such impure intentions. except one god.

「I am the only one who agrees to your cheeky deal. Despite your disbelief, I give you strength. Don't take that luck lightly.」

I risked my soul.

for revenge.

I had to do that in order to appease my mother's and the guild men's souls..

Even the final finishing touches had to be done with one's own hands. but…….

'I wasn't even a match.'

I thought that after obtaining the holy law, I became stronger due to its sense of omnipotence. He must have become stronger in reality.

But it just wasn't enough.

「You are not the knights. You are not the orcs..」

you are nothing.

it's nothing.

Those were such touching words..

How could the moment of being ignored by the object of revenge be so heartbreaking?.

"yet… It's not over."

[Yeah, it's not over..]

Darkness whispering in her ear. It's as they say.

Leon has no intention of ending this strategy here. I plan to open the gate myself and track it down, just like I did with the Holy Grail Knight Zereah's holy relic convoy gate..

She still has a chance.

[However, I am an enemy that is not worthy of someone like you. I have some talent, but it's insignificant compared to this guy..]

"your majesty… What do you mean??"

Ventasis knows that the beings who have received his blessing will fall short of the Demon Prince. It was obvious.

The Demon Grand Duke is the second-in-command immediately below the Demon Lord. Originally, they were the most powerful demons competing for the position of monarch..

Even Ventasis has seen few strong men who can stand against the Demon Grand Duke throughout its long history..

Among the Holy Grail Knights, he is probably the Holy Grail Knight of War. Leon is just so off-standard..

[However, you have a way. My child actually succeeded. This guy defeated the demon prince of sloth..]

"that is… Is it true??"

God of darkness and vengeance. Was there anyone who defeated the Demon Grand Duke with his blessing?.

[I'll give you that power if you want it.]

"I have already risked my soul. I'll give you no more……."

[If you're killing demons, there's no need for a reward. The soul is just a condition for receiving power.]

Soyeon Cheon was drawn to the temptation of Ventasis. No, this is not a seduction or anything..

Because you and Ventasis just have the same common goal..

"then……."

"Leave it at that. A river of no return is not crossed."

"……!"

When she turned her back, she saw Leon in his tuxedo staring right at her..

"your majesty……."

Soyeon stands up and bows. Leon said.

"Power that deviates from the right path is expensive.."

"……Are you telling me to give up revenge??"

Soyeon did not hide her repulsion from Leon, who tried to dissuade her. It was obvious that what he was going to say would end up being a clichéd opinion like his grandfather and other adults..

"If you're trying to say something like the futility of revenge, the living must live.──"

"Who do you think this king is? This king is the chief avenger of the God of Vengeance.."

[Hehehe… That's right.]

Ventasis agreed with this. Then he starts telling stories as if he is having fun..

[Girl. Imitate that man. He is the one who lost his people, his comrades, his country, and the world, and swore more severe revenge than anyone else..]

It was a revenge so great that even Ventasis felt mad..

[That guy is. He is a being who has fought alone for 200 years to avenge what he lost. He is a great avenger who won against the impossible..]

Destroyed three demon lords and two great princes, and beheaded over forty great demons..

In the process, millions of demons were eventually hunted..

Traversing the planet from end to end, annihilating every single demon left behind..

It was a journey of revenge so great that even Ventasis, the god of revenge, was ecstatic..

Would he deny revenge? no.

"Jim does not deny revenge. Rather, be positive. Because Jim has been fighting for so long for revenge.."

"For the gods... No?"

"It is both a business and a business. It was just a common goal."

"Then why……."

Are you acting as if you are trying to dissuade him from seeking revenge?.

"Revenge is sweet. However, it has to be achieved coldly. If you give up yourself for revenge, it is not complete revenge.."

Leon said as he looked at the faceless god of darkness behind Soyeon..

"As mortal children, they are easily tempted by power and often abandon themselves. You are offering Ahae's destruction as a condition.."

[It's a difference in aesthetics. I approve of all revenge. That child lacks the power to seek revenge, so she must pay the price..]

"This girl has a back. There is a future. Are you planning on taking away that dazzle? Like in ‘That Child’?"

That kid. Soyeon Cheon suddenly felt like she had heard something similar from Bentasis. When Ventasis blessed the Star Armor and when Leon intervened──

「'Like when I lost my daughter?」

Leon's daughter. Is she related to Bentasis??

[Grand Duke Dragonia borrowed appropriate power from me. And he got his wish.]

"In the end, you couldn't even get paid for it.."

[Yes, because an incomprehensible accident occurred. I think I understand now.]

"That contract is already over. 'Cause Jim paid the price."

[I have no intention of denying your merit. The greatest avenger. However, this and that are different things.]

"……."

There was a moment of silence between Leon and Ventasis. In the end, it was Ventasis who surrendered. He chose to compromise rather than lose the favor of the Lionheart King..

[tell me the alternative Darkness and revenge will at least listen to what ‘Leon’ says..]

"Jim will help this kid get revenge.."

"your majesty…!"

Leon urged Cheon So-yeon's resistance..

"I will be able to gain the power to provide an opportunity for revenge directly on you. The god of darkness and vengeance has the power to do so. However, it will eventually destroy ‘your soul’."

"Something like that──!"

You can endure it as much as you want. Soyeon Cheon, who was about to say that, faced Leon's angry gaze and had no choice but to close her mouth..

"Do not take lightly the extinction of the soul. Even cultists who betray God preserve their souls. Receive the punishment you deserve and have a chance to purify yourself.."

"You young thing that hasn't even lived for half a hundred years. Don't underestimate the price you have to pay for being blinded by your blood.."

"You will not enter the banquet hall of the gods, nor will you have the opportunity to receive forgiveness for your sins through soul-wrenching pain. Nor will I be left behind as an avenger of darkness and vengeance.."

"The price you are about to pay is burning your soul. How can you not know that?."

Leon realized that he had a daughter whom he had lost in Soyeon Cheon..

However, he did not deny that his actions were not remorse, but pure dissuasion..

"Little one. You little thing. If you want to take revenge, cool your head first.."

"If you feel you lack strength, find something to fill it, but don't lose yourself.."

"Because at the end of revenge you have to smile."

Leon did not discuss tolerance, mercy or forgetfulness.

He has committed too much revenge to say that living well is true revenge. and──

"Who really wants revenge?."

"That's of course…!"

"Is this the father who killed your mother and friends? or not… Are you the one who was chosen by the ‘Devil Sword’?."

"……!"

Leon sighed deeply at Cheon So-yeon’s reaction..

Isn’t this child so damn similar to my daughter?.

Looking for someone to hate, blaming his father, and ultimately blaming himself.──

「It's because of you, Your Majesty. You and I... I killed it.」

The father and daughter had to pay a high price..

In the end, only the failed father remains..
