Trash of the Count's Family

The dark blue arrow instantly engulfed Honte’s body.

“No!”

The Empire’s knights flinched at the fierce shout.

Imperial Prince Adin shouted with a rare sense of urgency.

“We, we have to save Honte!”

He then paused and raised his voice.

“He is one of the pillars of the Empire’s future! Mages, go help him!”

However, his shout was in vain.

Cale broke out into laughter at Imperial Prince Adin’s shout as he looked at Honte.

“It’s too late.”

The dark blue arrow struck Honte.

Baaaam!

The deafening sound of the impact was heard.

Dust, gray smoke, and light burst out from the explosion.

The scale of the smoke was large enough to engulf not only Honte, but also the black skeleton bird.

“Ugh!”

The smoke slowly subsided and a collapsing person could be seen.

“Cough!”

“Ugh!”

Some of the battle leaders of the Alchemists’ Bell Tower who had been near Honte with the intention of protecting him were unable to withstand the explosive power and threw up blood as they collapsed.

The Captain of the Empire’s Mage Brigade’s hands were shaking. It was because he felt the vibrations of mana from the explosion that just unfolded.

He shouted to Imperial Prince Adin as he saw the smoke start to subside.

“Your highness! Honte is important, but you must escape! The enemy’s attack is beyond our expectations! I think the necromancer can even use magic!”

The Captain thought that Imperial Prince Adin should escape before the smoke completely subsided and before he ran into Commander Cale.

The fire that Cale used felt like divine judgment delivered by a god.

It was at that moment.

“As I thought, it’s too soon.”

“…Your highness?”

Adin drew a smile and the Mage Captain could see it.

“Huh?”

Someone could be seen cutting through the subsiding smoke.

The person had black mana around him.

It was Honte.

There wasn’t a single scratch on his body as he shot up into the sky with his hand outstretched and got rid of his shield.

That wasn’t all.

There was also another existence that cut through the smoke, no, that blew it away.

It was the black skeleton bird.

“It seems like that wasn’t enough.”

Cale drew a smile on his face that was pale from being driven to his physical limits. His hand moved and the black skeleton bird headed straight for Honte.

The black skeleton bird shot towards Honte who was rising into the air.

A battle began in the sky.

“Young master-nim.” Human!

Cale let out a laugh.

“Fine, I’ll do as you guys want this time.”

Cale began to move in accordance with Mary and Raon’s will.

Mary immediately straightened herself up on the black skeleton bird’s spine. She revealed her hand that was laced with black spider web-like scars.

Honte and Mary.

Both of their hands were aimed at each other.

The corners of Honte’s lips curled up. He stared downwards and opened his mouth once he knew that nobody else could hear him.

“The thing that had been extinct has reappeared.”

Black mana rose up from his hand.

Black mana also rose up from Mary’s hand at the same time.

Honte spoke in an amused tone as he saw Mary in her black robe.

“You necromancers have had that hideous appearance since long ago. How foolish.”

He then looked toward Cale.

“I was barely able to get rid of the necromancers and the Dark Elves you know. I thought that I had annihilated them all.”

Cale’s eyes widened. A chill rose in the air at the same time. There were many hidden happenings that were going on in the background regarding the punishment that the Church of the Sun God carried out against the necromancers as he had expected.

Cale realized something at the same time.

‘That bastard is the Tower Master.’

The Tower Master who had lived for a long time.

He was probably able to live so long by taking over other people’s bodies.

Honte spoke cheerfully despite receiving Cale’s sharp gaze.

“The Queen of Death must be very sad. She would have been glad to see someone following the path of a necromancer once again.”

The cheerfulness then disappeared from Honte’s face.

Contempt took its place instead.

“Too bad you’re going to meet your end and die like her.”

He continued to look at Cale as he continued to speak.

“I suppose that wind is also one of your ancient powers?”

Honte had not missed the power that Cale had used to grab the Imperial Prince’s neck.

“Your plate is weak, but very big. Very very big.”

He then licked his lips.

Cale felt uncomfortable seeing Honte’s expression.

‘What is with this bastard?

Could it be?’

Honte started to speak when Cale’s eyes caught his moving corpse’s body. His eyes contained bloodthirst as he gazed at Cale.

“I want it as my next body.”
