Return of The Unrivaled Spear Knight
Chapter 290
Duke Agnus practically fled from the Great Hall.
“Ha... Hahahahaha!”
The Emperor had been immersed in his thoughts for a while, but he suddenly burst into laughter.
“I already realized this, but Aden’s acting skills are improving day by day, don’t you think?”
“If that really is an act, then I wouldn’t be able to match it, Your Majesty.” Duke Tremblin shook his head, keeping his eyes on the entrance of the Great Hall.
“That just means he’s naturally talented at it. What a cunning man. However...” Emperor Marcus stood up from his throne as he smirked. “He’s not at my level.”
“....”
“How many crises and obstacles have I overcome until now? How many times have I almost died?”
The Emperor’s eyes seemed to glow with madness.
“I drenched myself in my father’s blood and stripped off the flesh of my brothers until I finally rose to this position.”
“....”
“I wasn’t even in line for the throne, so how do you think I managed to sit on this throne?”
Duke Tremblin bowed his head as he spoke, carefully avoiding Emperor Marcus’s crazed stare.
“This is due to the fact that Your Majesty’s skill exceeded that of everyone else.”
“Close. It’s because I looked ahead and prepared more thoroughly than everyone else.”
“....”
“Geschhard.”
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
“Do you think Aden will obey me?”
Duke Tremblin stopped and thought about it before responding. “Your Majesty, do you think... he’ll commit treason and betray us?”
“I don’t think... I know.”
“...!” The Duke’s eyes widened in surprise. “But if you take Joshua Sanders in consideration, Duke Agnus will have no choice but to go to war—”
“You think Aden has any thoughts of ‘fatherly love’? Hahahaha!”
Duke Tremblin closed his mouth when Emperor Marcus started chuckling.
“Even a random dog on the street would find that funny.”
“Then, Your Majesty, you mean...”
“Aden... he’s a worse person than me.”
“....”
“He claims he likes brilliant people, but he's the kind of person who can casually kill thousands of innocent people to rescue one of his own. He's vicious and merciless and would do everything to achieve his goal.” The corners of Emperor Marcus's lips rose. “That is the Aden von Agnus that I know.”
Duke Tremblin paused for a second before speaking carefully.
“Your Majesty, it may be presumptuous of me to say this, but shouldn’t we be a bit more cautious—”
“No.”
“...!”
“I know Aden better than anyone. He and I share a unique bond.”
It didn’t matter that Duke Tremblin was the Sword Emperor; there was nothing more he could say now that the Emperor had spoken like this.
‘Is there an unknown connection between the two of them? Well, they have been rivals for a while, so there must be some kind of relationship...’
“Don’t worry so much. I will personally deal with Aden.” Emperor Marcus’s eyes gleamed brightly. “You just do the task that I ordered you to do.”
Duke Tremblin shook those thoughts out of his mind.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the Duke answered as he bowed his head.
The Emperor gave a satisfied smile.
“I guess we should double-check to make sure of the death? After all, we do need to exercise caution.”
“...Your Majesty?”
“...!” Joshua shuddered as the Duke’s pressure washed over his body.
Duke Agnus’s figure and the pitch-black greatsword struck from behind.
That sword could rip its enemies—or an entire nation—in two. The great Dark God’s instrument of choice was named Vibrost.
Joshua whipped his body around. Even if his eyesight was the best of the best, trying to follow the attack with his eyes would just lead to his defeat. Joshua needed to use all five senses, especially his sight, to track down his enemy.
And the moment he felt his enemy...
Swish!
That was where his spear would strike first.
CLANG!
The greatsword and the spear collided with a clang and a shower of sparks.
The spear was up against the most powerful weapon on the continent, but it didn’t budge a single bit.
The more pain Joshua felt in his hands, the wider he smiled.
The thing in front of him was only an illusion. The real one was somewhere else. For that reason, the illusion might be a hair stronger or weaker than the real one because it’s all an illusion from Joshua's mind.
‘But since when did I care about things like this?’
Screech! Clang!
“...!”
The initial impact only stopped Joshua’s spear for a slight moment. With a screech of harsh metal, it began to move again.
A look of surprise flitted across his opponent’s face.
‘Yeah, why does it even matter?’
Joshua began to speak as he forced the enemy back with his spear.
“Please allow me to use this occasion to convey my thanks in a way I wasn’t able to in the past.”
“....”
“With this, I will give up the lingering resentment and disappointment leftover from my previous life. But...”
“....”
“We are now in a state where we do not hold any favors or grudges. We are not enemies, but we also don’t have a father-son relationship.”
Perhaps it was just Joshua’s imagination, but the illusion’s eyes seemed to waver.
“If you stand in my path...”
Joshua’s grip clenched around his spear.
“I’ll cut you down without hesitation.”
Clang! Crack!
There was a loud noise and then the noise of human bone breaking.
The spear had broken through the greatsword and pierced the illusion of Duke Agnus. He looked down at the spear with disbelief and fear in his eyes. His heart had been pierced by the spear. He stopped moving.
“...!”
Joshua’s eyes widened at the final words the illusion spoke as it began to disappear.
“W-what?”
Even as it disappeared, it seemed to grin at him. Finally, the illusion vanished, leaving behind a single sphere.
“Joshua!”
Iceline was taken aback when the fog suddenly cleared, and Joshua was visible.
“You—” Theta started to say something before he hesitated, looking puzzled.
Joshua’s eyes were fixed unwaveringly on a single spot.
“What—?”
A mysterious device, glowing brilliantly with five distinct colors, had appeared at his feet. It was the first reward on the 40th Floor, the Demon’s Section.

Could that really be called an illusion?“...!” Joshua shuddered as the Duke’s pressure washed over his body.
