Chapter 298
“Guuuh...”
Evergrant opened his eyes. He didn’t know how much time had passed, but he knew that he felt unbearable pain all over his body. Despite opening his eyes, he did not regain his ability to see. The darkness was so intense that it was impossible for him to see anything. It seemed like he was in an abyss of darkness.
“Evergrant, this place was created just for you.”
Evergrant flinched as the voice whispered in his ears. He might be unable to see, but his other senses had heightened.
As soon as he recognized the speaker, his brows furrowed.
“Joshua Sanders—!”
“How are you feeling?”
“You bastard! Ugh—”
Almost immediately, Evergrant let out a muffled groan as another wave of pain washed over him. The important thing wasn’t that he was in pain; it was the location.
“You... Don’t tell me—” Evergrant's hand jerked up and immediately headed to a particular point of his body. “My Mana Circle?”
“You’d better take it slow. Right now, your circle is like a container on the verge of being broken.”
“The hell? What did you do to me?” Evergrant shouted loudly and angrily.
He was incredibly incensed. His usual appearance was nowhere to be found, and he looked empty right now. Evergrant had a feeling that everything he had done all throughout his life was going to come crashing down.
“I know you better than you think I do.”
“Cut the crap and answer me!”
“Berber. No, Jerath dek Orbis... the reason why he craved so much power.”
Evergrant stopped moving and fell silent as he processed Joshua’s words.
Joshua’s eyes hardened.
“The two of you had the same reason.” He said in the darkness. “The end justifies the means? Weren’t you and Jerath willing to utilize whatever methods you had at your disposal to accomplish your objective?”
Despite Joshua’s presence, Evergrant still remained silent as his enemy continued to speak.
“So I was really curious what it was that you wanted. Because you see, I knew there was no way you would spend your entire life working for someone else like their dog.”
“...What do you know?”
It felt like an eternity had passed before Evergrant spoke, but when he finally did, Joshua smiled.
“You’re curious now?”
“Just answer me.”
“The unification of the continent,” Joshua responded without the slightest hint of hesitation.
“...!” Evergrant's eyes widened for a moment.
“However, not a continent that was brought together by Avalon, but rather one that was formed under you.”
“....”
“You wanted a unified continent to be called the ‘Magic Empire’ from the very beginning.”
Joshua's voice was the only sound echoing through the abyss.
“You and the Emperor already knew each other’s intentions. But neither of you cared. You both thought that you could use the other as a stepping stone for your own plans—that you could control the other.”
This had been the cause of that peculiar feeling of incongruity between the Emperor and Evergrant. Perhaps in the distant future, Evergrant would eliminate Kaiser for his purpose. After all, unlike how he portrayed himself, Evergrant was completely twisted on the inside with his dark desire for victory.
‘But...’
Joshua’s eyes hardened. There was something that needed to be cleared up.
Step.
“...!”
Joshua stepped out of the darkness.

Evergrant shrugged in response to Joshua’s bleak question.
“You’re going to torture me? Well, do whatever you want....”
“No,” Joshua answered without hesitation.
He slowly paced forward.
“I always thought that death would be too merciful for you.”
“What?”
The trick that Evergrant pulled rendered decades of Joshua’s work useless. Shouldn’t Joshua pay it back with something equally terrible, not just with Evergrant’s life?
Swish!
Joshua gave a bloodthirsty smile as he looked at Evergrant’s bewildered expression.
“So, how can I exact my revenge in the most satisfying way possible?”
- Oh, you made up your mind?
“...!” Evergrant’s pupils widened slightly for a split second.
That was not the voice of a human being but rather a voice that sounded as though it was emanating from directly within his skull. Evergrant’s eyes were inevitably drawn to its source.
“Don’t tell me... an ego weapon?”
- Can you hear me? I knew it! I have a great eye for human beings!”
Lugia’s spear floated in the air, swinging from side to side.
“It’s a shame that I can’t make Jerath dek Orbis mine.”
- Can’t do anything about that. Asmodeus is stuck to him too close... but...
The spear snapped down so that the point was aimed in Evergrant’s direction.
- I think this is fine.
“What the hell are you saying?!” Evergrant shouted.
In reaction to it, Joshua flashed a grin and a smile.
“What do you think I’m saying? You, you belong right here.”
Pitch-black demonic power seeped out of Joshua’s body with an unsettling noise.
“From the beginning, you didn’t have a choice. Even if you refuse...”
Evergrant shivered, his eyes widening for a split second as he registered the weighty touch on his arms. He soon spotted two people dressed in black, and his face became red with shock at what he saw.
“I most definitely intend to carry it out.”
“Death Knights! YOU! Don’t tell me—”
“I’ll see you soon, Evergrant.”
Joshua extended his hand with an even broader smile.
- I’m going!
Lugia pushed forward with all of its might.
“...Heup!”
The spear entered Evergrant’s chest with a horrifying squelch.
Joshua murmured something under his breath as he saw the man shake all over as if he had been hit by lightning.
“The lesser hell in its true sense. The Lord of the Lesser Demon Realm welcomes you Evergrant.”
Evergrant’s eyes rapidly lost their brightness, and Joshua's words faded into the background.
“Damn... this...”
Those were the final words Joshua had said in his previous life, but this time, those were Evergrant’s.
