Chapter 257: 257

Chapter 257

There was no room to wait, nor was there a reason to.

Upon reaching Kaiser’s Palace, Joshua knew exactly where he had to go next.

Kaiser was not the kind of person to flex his power by living on the top floor. His room was on the first floor. More importantly, it was connected to the basement, where the underground passageway was located.

‘Is this the corner?’

Joshua looked past the crowd of people who had gathered after hearing the news. In his past life, that wall had always been an open entrance.

It was only natural. He was Kaiser’s closest aide at that time. As such, this was the first time that Joshua came across the magic barrier that sealed the entrance.

However...

‘This is a magic barrier made by at least a Class 6 Mage, but there is something else. Ah, right... this familiar, disgusting energy...’

Joshua smiled.

‘Demonic power.’

It was so weak that some high-ranking priests wouldn’t notice it, but Joshua's senses weren't fooled. That made things clear: this barrier was conjured by Berber and Evergrant.

Joshua held his hand out towards the wall.

‘He must’ve thought that no matter how powerful you are as a knight, you can’t break a high-grade magic circle without using some type of black magic.’

Joshua, however, had Kaiser dancing in the palm of his hand. To date, the continent had never seen anyone who could be called a “magic swordsman,” someone who could use both a mana hall and a magic circle. It was the same as Joshua’s first life, when he had gained the moniker of being an unrivaled spear knight.

If someone tried to use mana from the lower abdomen with the magic circle from the heart at the same time, those two energies would always clash with each other.

But someone shattered that idea decades ago.

‘I should find time to find that being out. He might be a great help to my future plans.’

Being in his second life, Joshua knew that that being, despite being deeply involved with the Magic Tower, was not, in fact, human.

Joshua shook off his thoughts and clenched his fists for a moment.

Unlike other knights, Joshua didn’t use a mana hall; his mana came directly from the atmosphere. That made the Magic Spear Arts infinitely powerful and highly destructive.

‘If you think that I can’t detect the magic used here just because magic runs on different principles...”

Kaiser was fooling himself.

A loud sound of glass shattering startled the crowd, particularly the mages.

“What in the—”

“Is that a barrier? I didn’t feel any mana that suggested a barrier!”

“That must mean that it was made by a mage of at least a higher class than the mages here.”

“Must be Class 6, right? We didn’t even realize it. How could a knight find out?”

Joshua let their surprise and doubt wash over him.

“Are you coming with me?” he asked indifferently.

They were anything but reassured.

Knight Commander Rod glanced at Kaiser. The latter had on a stiff expression.

“Imperial Knights, don’t be afraid. A hidden space that only royalty know of are common in the palace. Don’t act rashly unless something actually appears. Be vigilant.” Knight Commander Rod commanded.

“Yes Sir!”

That wasn’t the worst of it.

“Lich!”

Joshua’s face hardened when five figures with bones protruding from their robes came into view. These high level undead were made out of the body and soul of a high-ranking mage of at least Class 5. Their black magic made them much, much more powerful weapons than a mage.

“These monsters were hiding right under the Imperial Palace?”

— Isn’t it great?

“What?”

— You know what one of the most exciting things in the world is?

Joshua's face twisted in confusion as he pondered Lugia’s playful words.

— It is....

Lugia playfully trailed off before continuing.

—- Coveting someone else’s property.

“What?”

— Think carefully. Isn’t it great to eat from someone else’s table after they’ve spent a long time preparing the food? Isn’t it great? You can use these to make your army. Nothing but the troops of your enemy.

Lugia’s voice seemed to strum his instincts.

— I'll help you. Isn’t that exactly what you’ve been waiting for?

Joshua looked past the undead and his eyes went wide. He saw a stone gate that looked strangely familiar, even though he had never seen it before.

— They can’t even use it, even though they’ve been planning for a long time. The perfect plan that failed. Isn’t this a great prelude to your revenge?

Joshua's eyes slowly turned red.

— I can make that happen. Relax and give me your body.

Joshua stopped swinging the spear and watched the monsters slowly approach him.

A ray of light emerged from between his eyes.

— Worship.

A voice came from Joshua's mouth, but it was not his voice. It wasn’t even human.

— Obey.

The monster army’s steady advance suddenly stopped as if struck by lightning. Their bodies trembled like cornered prey.

— Kneel.

The first to give in to its instincts was a bio-ghoul. The other monsters were quick to follow. All that remained were the five liches, thanks to their powerful minds and coherent egos.

But every time Joshua stepped forward, the liches stepped back.

— Wha... What is this...

“Obey me,” Joshua's mouth said with a voice not his own.

Even the liches stopped moving at some point.

“The demon god's power is my power. The existence you hold with such high esteem is nothing but an insect to me.”

Joshua’s eyes scanned the area.

“I am now your new master.”

The mark of obedience was written again, and even the liches were finally forced to their knees before him.
