This was also a formal confirmation.

The overlord continued speaking to my answer.

“Okay, first of all, this is the situation that I understood. In a gladiator match hosted by the 6th Lord, the 7th lord suddenly broke in, and unilaterally declared to the 6th lord that he would take away the slave gladiators from the match, and there was a clash with the 6th lord who was angry. After a fierce battle, he killed the 6th lord.”

“············”.

“How is it, 7th lord. Is there anything to correct about this?”

I said quietly.

“First, the attack was done on the 6th lord’s side.”

“Oh, yes. They said yes. But that’s not important, is it?”

The overlord shook his head.

2nd lord Thunderhu intervened and joined in.

“Even if the 6th monarch did the first work, didn’t he say that it was the 7th lord who first intervened in the 6th lord’s events? So, the beginning of the work is definitely with him.”

I glanced at the back of the brain.

It was she who was particularly active in whether or not there was still an arguing at the meeting before.

The overlord looked at me with a smile.

“And 7th lord, can you give me an answer? Even before the 6th lord attacked first, there was no will to kill the 6th lord.”

“············”.

I clicked my tongue at the question that stabbed the essence.

I expected it, but it didn’t seem like it would go easily.

The ability to see through truth and lies, which the hero of Seintea also possesses.

As long as the overlord has that ability, it wouldn’t work for me to play clumsily in this place.

Didn’t you mean to kill the 6th lord before he attacked?

I couldn’t say no at all.

Because at that time, I had already made up my mind.

If I can’t figure out a way to cure the photobreath from him, I’ll kill him and take the Reef and his siblings alive.

“It wasn’t there at all.”

The overlord asked again.

“Then, it’s not that he was forced to kill after the battle became too intense, but that he killed the 6th lord with clear intentions, right?”

“Yes.”

This was also an undeniable fact.

I killed him after taking away most of his physical abilities and then subduing him.

Each of the monarchs responded to my answer.

Shin and thunder slowly narrowed their foreheads, and Empress Gwangrang or the Black Sea smiled strangely as they had seen when they first entered, and the rest of the monarchs did not show their emotions.

“Now that I’ve confirmed the facts, I’ll have to listen to the reason.”

The overlord asked with a smile on his face.

“The 7th lord, why did you kill the 6th lord?”

I shut my mouth for a moment and didn’t answer anything.

Why did you kill the 6th monarch?

This convening is open to hear the reason from me after all, and to execute me if the reason is not reasonable.

So, I could say that this question and answer right now is the decisive question and answer that will decide my life or death.

‘········But I cannot give a good reason.’

It was natural.

Two human beings who would be nothing more than insignificant bugs of no value to them.

What if you answered that you killed the 6th lords only to save them?

Of course, there was also a reason.

The fact that the male side of the siblings was the person who would kill the 6th monarch in the future, and that he would have died in the not too distant future if he hadn’t intervened anyway.

But, of course, this was inexplicable.

Of course, any overlord capable of distinguishing between truth and lies would know that my absurd intelligence was indeed the truth.

But what if that happens? Again, things get complicated. If you openly reveal Lygon’s existence to the Overlord, you never know what will happen.

[How about doing gimmicks with me? I’ll spare your life Instead, you are the lord of Calderic…]

. . . , which could make the siblings unhappy again, who barely escaped from hell.

It wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t the worst to take out all of my paddles to the Overlord in order to escape the immediate crisis and save my life.

So, I’m going to take some risks and live here.

The best answer I could give him was this.

“That was the best.”

“······yes?”

The overlord narrowed his brow slightly as if he did not understand the English language.

“It was said that killing the Sixth Lord there was, at least in my opinion, the best thing. Less detrimental to Calderik’s future.”

This was the truth without a lie.

The 6th lord, who would have died in the future anyway, just died a little earlier. And Lygon, who will become a ghost in the future, has not fallen.

I don’t know if this could be called an advantage for Calderik, but I didn’t think it was a loss anyway.

The overlord tilted his head with an expression of more incomprehension.

“So now, you want to say that the existence of the 6th Lord was harmful to Calderik?”

“············”.

“I’d like you to explain why you made such a judgment without being silent, 7th lord.”

“All I have to say is this.”

If I dig further here, I had to somehow reveal Lygon’s existence, so I didn’t explain anything further.

The overlord let out a small sigh.

“Don’t you think you’re being too forceful? If you don’t know the reason, you can’t make any decisions. If you keep going like that…”

“Would you like to hear more?”

Brain Hugh interrupted in a cold voice.

“The monarch has been killed by the monarch. If it goes on, the order of Calderic will be shaken from the very beginning. Whatever the reason or how reasonable it may be, we must execute the 7th lord right here and correct the shaky order.”

Gwangrang opened his mouth to him.

“Hey, but you hated the 6th lord so much. To be honest, what happened at the last meeting made you go crazy?”

“······ Are there any jokes about the current situation?”

“Look, I was stabbed.”

She giggled and picked up the sword she had set aside.

“Still, I agree with the 2nd monarch’s opinion. The reason for the murder, whatever it was, doesn’t really matter.

“That’s right, Overlord. It seems that you don’t even want to actively explain it, so don’t waste your time and just kill it.”

The Empress of the Black Sea also intervened and fluttered laughter as she flapped her wings.

I looked at the overlord.

“Seven Lords, I’ll give you one last chance.”

She said with a look on her face that something had cooled off.

“Tell me something that will change my mind or persuade you, or you will die here today.”

The tone was as if he had planned to execute me from the beginning, no matter what the reasons the monarchs said.

I exhaled and folded my arms.

The Overlord is a ruthless but reasonable person.

To be reasonable here meant that she wasn’t the kind of person who built up her pride about something.

So she decided to execute me here only because it was in Calderic’s advantage.

You dare break the iron rules and kill the monarch? It’s not an emotional choice.

No matter how much you judge me as a talented person, I am a person who has just taken a seat in the military and, in fact, still lacks credibility.

He must have judged that there was no merit enough to continue leaving the element of anxiety that shook the fundamental order of Calderik that had been maintained for hundreds of years.

So I thought.

If there is no benefit in saving me, on the other hand, I will imprint the damage that I have to endure in killing me.

The monarchs who were seated around the round table slowly raised their resolve and stared at me.

I glanced at them once and opened my mouth.

“If there is a battle, there will be no way for me to survive.”

This is true.

No matter how many abilities I acquired, I never thought about the possibility of surviving the joint attack of all the monarchs, including the overlord.

“But keep this in mind.”

Here, the monarchs without shield-type abilities are the 5th lord Gwangrang, the 9th lord Geowang, and the 8th lord Black Sea Empress…

The number of space leaps in a row is 3 times, and blood magic.

In the limited space of the conference room, if you spread blood and spill blood in all directions, how well will the monarchs fit in?

I can not know. Maybe you can’t hit even one, or you can hit more than you think because of your carelessness.

In other words, no one knows what the outcome will be.

I may die in vain without killing anyone, or conversely, the monarchs may be annihilated.

“Half of this place.”

So, what I am saying now is not bluff, but pure sincerity from an unpredictable future.

And the overlord will know him.

“If you’re going to kill me, more than half of you must be prepared to die.”

Urgent Call (3)

Silence fell in the conference hall.

Very cold, suffocating silence.

While all the monarchs’ gazes were gathered, I spoke to the overlord while still pretending to have a calm expression on my face.

“Would you like to check it out, Overlord?”

“············”.

She stared at me with a horrifying expressionless expression on her face.

Overlords and nine lords, and from the blacklin’s general to the chief of staff.

If there was no hero, they alone would be able to completely wipe out Seintea from the continent without any other forces.

I am speaking to them now.

Even if I fight alone, half of you can take me to the underworld.

This is how the monarchs reacted.

The 1st monarch Shintoo, the 3rd monarch Chun-gung, and the 4th monarch, King of the Dead, did not show any signs.

The 5th lord Gwangrang raised an eyebrow, and the 8th monarch, the Black Sea Empress and the 9th lord, the Geowang frowned in displeasure.

“You’re arrogant.”

The giant king let out a voice as heavy as his size.

“Yes, yes. This is it. This is how it feels….”

Gwangrang murmured, exhaling a breath full of excitement and heat, what was so delightful.

“You really are a crazy person.”

And it was the second lord’s thunderbolt that uttered a voice full of absurdity and anger.

Staring at me with eyes full of murderous intent seemed to overlap with what I had seen at the last meeting.

“If you thought that such a bluff would really work, you’d be foolish.”

Blue sparks flickered as it wrapped around the entire body of the cerebrum.

Then suddenly the overlord burst out laughing.

The monarchs turned their gazes to her stomach and looked at her with a smirk.

Slowly she stopped laughing and met my eyes.

She, who had had a cold, hard face until just a moment ago, had an innocent smile on her lips again.

“·················································· aren’t about empty words, with the 7th lord?”

At the overlord’s words, the thunderbolt narrowed his forehead with a fluttering look.

“I honestly think I can deal with all of the lords. Is it arrogance as the 9th lord says, or is it really true?”

I didn’t answer anything.

If you don’t have anything to say in return, hold on to the weight to let the other person think about it.

At least it was a great way of communication that had never gone unsolved until now.

So, for a long time, I was staring at the overlord.

Perhaps by now she was thinking about it in her head.

Maybe it’s just the ignorant remarks of a human filled with arrogance. If you think about it in common sense, it was right to judge it that way.

However, the overlord doesn’t know anything about my abilities yet.

And by actually killing the tyrant, I once again proved my strength.

Because of this, the Overlord will not be able to judge or measure me, who is hiding in the veil of the unknown.

What if there was really a battle and more than half of the monarchs died under my guise?

It wasn’t just a power cut in half, it was a matter of Calderick’s existence at stake.

If such a catastrophe really happens, Seintea, Calderic’s greatest adversary, will not stand still.

······· To be honest, on the one hand, I knew that I was being completely forceful now.

First of all, if you’re going to kill me by breaking the rules, then you guys should be prepared to kill me too.

However, no matter how blatantly coercive it may be, if it hadn’t been for these threats, in the end, whatever I said would have been of no avail.

Imprinting my last remarks in her head, making the execution feel like a gamble that cannot be decided in haste.

If that is the case, the first objective was to achieve it.

And now, looking at the Overlord, it seemed that I was going the way I thought it would.

‘······ Now I have to take a step back.’

But it didn’t work for me to keep my mouth shut like this.

I timed it and prepared to speak again.

Even if it put the brakes on the start of the execution for a short time, that was all.

Anyway, I thought this wouldn’t change the Overlord’s decision.

Those who are here now are the rulers at the top of Calderic.

As the brainchild of a while ago, they are not the ones who will back down from such threats.

Prestige aside, even if I kept myself alive from the moment I said these words, it would be like holding a large bomb that could explode again.

So, if I go on like this, there is a high probability that the Overlord will eventually decide to execute me in order to somehow kill me.

I had to end this situation gracefully, when the mood had not yet fully shifted to it.

I opened my mouth.

“My opinion is still the same. Killing the 6th Lord there was also an advantage for Calderic.”

“············”.
