Chapter 370: 370

Chapter 370

“Stand back,” Heimdall ordered.

“Yes, sir!”

The apostles retreated stealthily, just like how they’d first appeared.

“I’ll apologize for my subordinate’s rudeness on their behalf,” Heimdall said.

Maybe he had used an artifact; it was difficult to tell he was a man based on his voice.

Heimdall raised his hands. “In my defense, this wasn’t what I—”

“It doesn’t matter since I would have searched for them myself if this hadn’t happened.”

Heimdall didn’t mind that Joshua interrupted him; he just asked, “Why so?”

“You really don’t know?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know.”

Joshua was silent for a moment.

“To become emperor of this country,” he casually answered. “For decades, even the Imperial Family didn’t know about the existence of this mysterious group nor of Heimdall, so I think it’s worth my effort to chase them down.”

“...If that’s the reason, it’s surely... Ha, I know no secret lasts forever in this world, but I didn’t know I would get caught because of one small stone,” Heimdall muttered. He was talking about Gaia, the primordial stone. He had already heard what happened in the palace; he had eyes and ears even there.

“Anyhow, you’re serious about becoming the emperor... I thought you had an ultimate goal.”

“An ultimate goal?”

“You even turned down the inheritance of the Duchy of Agnus, so I thought you were pretending that you wanted to become the emperor in order to end this civil war. If you hadn’t directly intervened in the war, then war would still be ongoing.”

Joshua shook his head. “The civil war could have ended earlier if it hadn’t been for you.”

Heimdall’s eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. “Then... Do you know who I am?”

Although Heimdall was wearing a mask, Joshua could see Heimdall’s eyes gleaming with mysterious excitement.

“I know. That’s why I can’t let you walk away.”

“You can’t let me walk away?” Heimdall repeated, amused.

At that moment, sparks flew off of Joshua’s aura spear, leaving a long line on the ground.

“You won’t be able to step a foot over this line,” Joshua declared.

“Arrogant...” Jabel, the hot-headed second apostle, snorted furiously.

Marco stopped Jabel. “Stay out of it, Jabel.”

“Marco, how can you say that when you saw him acting like that?” Jabel growled.

“It’s Heimdall’s order.”

“Ah, fuck!” Jabel loudly cursed, scowling at Joshua.

“You know who I am, yet you’ll stand in my way until the end?” Heimdall asked.

“You’re asking the wrong question. I have to stop you because I know who you are.”

“...You’re a fool. If you really wanted the throne, I would have made your dream come true.”

All of the apostles were stunned.

“No, that’s not it,” Joshua refuted. “You just need your own little obedient puppet,”

“That’s... His Highness’s spear!” the knight shouted.

The spear on the person’s back floated in the air.

-It’s meaningless. He can’t speak.

The knights boggled at the spear.

“A spear... is talking?”

-Anyhow, shouldn’t you be wondering about something else other than Duke Aden von Agnus’s whereabouts?

The knights gaped. “What...?”

-It’s just that I would be more concerned about where Joshua, your master, had been during the past three years and why he showed up now.

The spear was speaking directly into the people’s heads, but what it was saying was more shocking than how it was saying it. Still, that wasn’t what had them speechless.

“Mmm...” The knight that had shouted trembled like a frog before a viper, his skin stinging. He let out a choked groan. He was reacting like he had met a strong opponent, even though he was only up against a spear.

“I heard that a weapon with an ego is totally different from ordinary weapons,” the knight muttered in disbelief, “but...”

He couldn’t even move an inch. When he managed to drag his eyes to the side, he could see his colleagues were in the same situation. Manifestation of will—only someone on the same level as the Nine Stars would be able to do something like this.

“Ho-how...!” Lucia let her surprise slip out of her lips, but when she realized that she was the only one who could still move, she froze out of shock. Nervousness crept in. “Wh-what did Joshua do?”

Although she hadn’t met Joshua, she had heard from the Auxiliary Battalion that her son was safe, but in a situation like this, she couldn’t help but worry again.

-Wait, are you worried about him? Wow, seriously...

“P-please,” Lucia pleaded.

-...I believe your worst scenario would never come true. It’s embarrassing to say this out loud, but your son is so strong that even the gods up in the sky are afraid of him.

“How do yo-you know that?”

Why did Lucia feel like the spear was smiling? It was just a weapon, after all.

-Come to think of it, is it our first time talking in person?

“Wh-what...?”

-We’ve met before. You know, our names are similar too.

The spear hummed again.

-I’m Lugia, the Demon Spirit’s weapon.

“The Demon Spirit’s weapon...?”

-Yes, I belonged to the owner of the Demon Realm, and...

Lugia emitted a gloomy light.

-I have been Joshua’s friend for a very, very long time.

Before Lugia could continue, someone else proved that they were still able to move by leaping into action.

-...Oh, yeah. I forgot you were here.

Lugia was sucked into the hand of Joshua’s doppelganger.

-Was your name... Duke Altsma?

The Wild King and Lugia collided midair.
