Chapter 334: 334

Translated by A Passing Wanderer

Edited by RED

Although I had called it a plan, in reality it was more like a list of all those destinations around the world that I wanted to visit as a tourist, while travelling in comfort as a valued member of the Imperial Family .

“…I guess I’ll have to defer it to another time, then . ”

I carefully folded the document and stored it away in my item window .

Now that that was done, I got up from the throne .

“Let me accompany you, Your Majesty . ” Charlotte, who had her silver hair neatly coiled in a pony style behind her head befitting a mature and dignified woman, addressed me from the side .

But I waved my hand lightly, then pressed forward a list of orders that she needed to perform for me in the future .

“This is…?” she tilted her head in confusion .

I smiled and replied to her, “For the next year or so, please take care of things for me . I’ve already spoken to Luan and Hilda, so things won’t get too hectic around here . ”

Charlotte stared at me with a stunned face .

Leaving her behind, I headed to my destination by myself . That place happened to be the labyrinth located in the deepest part of the Imperial Palace’s basement floors .

Hans was on standby there already, with the Bloody Golem standing next to him . He bowed his head deeply in my direction and spoke, “Your Majesty . Preparations have been completed . ”

“Alright, then . Let’s go . ”

We headed to the deepest part of the labyrinth itself . The place we eventually arrived at was an enclosed space where countless Runes had been engraved seemingly on every visible surface .

A single vampire was imprisoned in here . A vampire in a jester get-up, with lengthy and spindly limbs .

Marquis Kirum .

The moment he saw my face, he was frightened out of his wits and hurriedly scrambled back . He crouched in the corner of the enclosed space and shielded his head .

“Your Majesty, are you really planning to go through with this?” Hans cautiously asked me .

I replied while taking off my clothes . “I won’t die at least, so don’t you worry . Well, in the future where my fate has been set in stone by the gods, that is . ”

Of course, merely having knowledge of the future events could potentially alter one’s destiny in some ways . But then again, the gods wouldn’t have been so sloppy with their planning that this little action of mine would have a devastating butterfly effect later on .

I chucked my clothes on the floor . Hans quietly stepped back and closed the door to this enclosed space, sealing it tightly .

Behind me was the Bloody Golem that had devoured vampires and lycans to become a completed being . The crazed clown, Kirum the vampire, was the only one left before my eyes .

“W-w-what are you going to do?! Are you here to torment this lowly vampire once more?!” Kirum began screaming at me . Even then, he didn’t forget to cover his face in ‘despair’ . “Oh, ohhh! How scary, aigoo, so scary~! A Holy Emperor who loves to bully the weak! By the way, why did you undress all of a sudden? Could it be? Do you have such a horrible hobby?!”

What a snarky, sarcastic manner of speech that was . It was Kirum’s unique way of yapping away, too .

But it was nothing more than him putting up a brave front in order to suppress his own fear . Also, it was his way of showing some form of resistance . He was even using his Spirit Speech to ‘seduce’ me right now, too .

I cracked my neck and addressed the vampire, “I’m not going to beat around the bush . Hit me with your Curse, Kirum . ”

Kirum’s expression hardened in an instant . “What are you talking about?”

“It’s exactly as it sounds . Use your demonic energy and try to wreck my body . ”

“Just what are you even… Wait, what are you scheming to do this time?! I have already told you everything I know . Just stop it and kill me already! I, I can’t…!”

Kirum suddenly began blabbering away after fear took him over completely .

“Start your desperate struggles, vampire . ”

Snap .

One sentence from me, and Kirum’s mind snapped, plunging him into a pit of fear . He suddenly pounced in my direction .

I felt his demonic energy . It emitted a seriously nauseating stench .

However, it was still too weak . This guy wasn’t a combat-type vampire and as such, he was rather weak for a vampire of his tier .

Something on this level wasn’t enough to wreck my body at all .

“…Get rid of him . ”

The Bloody Golem finally made its move . It raised its hand up; the fangs and bone shards of lycans gathered together, transforming its hand into a hook .

It slammed down on Kirum .

Crunch-!

The vampire’s blood splattered everywhere .

“Kuwaaaahk!”

Kirum continued to thrash about even as the hook impaled him . The Bloody Golem brought the struggling vampire towards its abdomen .

The golem’s stomach area split open wide, revealing dozens upon dozens of fangs containing demonic energy that were spinning away like a saw-toothed wheel .

Kirum was sucked inside the Golem, which was filled to the brim with various curses and toxins .

“W-wait…!” Kirum continued to thrash around as his feet gradually got ground to bits . “Uwaaaahk?!”

His lower half was disappearing; his abdomen was split apart, and his chest was ripped apart next .

“You… You demon…!”

Soon, even Kirum’s head and his extended hand were all devoured, gone from my view for good .

The Bloody Golem’s power grew even stronger after absorbing the demonic energy of a Marquis-class vampire .

The creature turned around to face me .

And I issued a simple order to the golem . “Devour me . ”

In that instant, the Bloody Golem’s torso split open and swallowed me up .

(TL: In 3rd person POV . )

A massive earthquake suddenly rocked the frozen mountain range .

Avaldi sensed something was wrong . He had a pretty good guess on what had caused all that shaking, so he quickly stepped outside the hut, leaving the dwarves behind .

It had already been almost five years since Belrog and his companions came to visit him .

Avaldi rapidly climbed the peak of the frozen mountain range, still decorated by countless snow-capped mountains and glaciers . When he got there, he finally got to see a certain spectacle .

“…Vlandmir . ”

A figure, his whole body tightly wrapped in bandages, was on his knees . He put the spear of blood down on the ground, then bowed his head deeply .

In front of him were several large shadows . The smallest seemed to be around eight metres tall, while the largest one was over thirty .

They belonged to the Jötnar .

The gigantic existences had finally broken free of their Seals!

-Now, kneel, and swear your loyalty to me!- one of the Jötnar demanded .

The Vampire King could be seen clenching his teeth before kissing the toe of that gigantic creature .

‘What are you doing, Vlandmir?!’ Avaldi, staring at this unfolding sight from the top of the mountain, shifted his gaze over to his spear . ‘Why aren’t you even thinking of fighting back?’

Why wasn’t he using that powerful weapon? That was the greatest armament Avaldi had created, yet…

“I shall acknowledge our defeat . We cannot win against your group . ”

The Vampire King once proudly declared that he’d make the giants submit to him . But now, he had discarded his pride and self-respect to kowtow before another creature .

‘No, Vlandmir! You haven’t been defeated yet . Use that spear! Do you not possess the greatest weapon of all? Have I not gifted you with a weapon that required one thousand years of forging and refining with the blood of humans?!’

A vampire was not defeated until it was killed and extinguished from this world . As long as it was alive, and as long as it wished to continue fighting back, then Avaldi would gladly continue to craft another weapon .

A weapon that was far stronger, far greater than any other in history .

Avaldi grit his teeth .

‘I beg of you, my king . Do not disappoint me . Pick up that spear . Use that spear to defeat both the giants and the Imperial Family…!’

“I beg of you, oh the Jötnar . Go and destroy the Imperial Family . ”

Avaldi’s brows shot up at what the Vampire King said just then . For a short moment there, the vampire blacksmith was left stupefied by what he had heard, but then, his teeth began clattering from sheer rage .

The Vampire King had become blinded by his desire for vengeance . The more he lost himself, the further he got away from Avaldi’s lifelong wish .

-We are neither the destroyer nor the agents of your vengeance . –

The Jötnar snickered away .

-We are saviours . Saviours who will return everything to the embrace of Mother Nature . Everything will revert back to the embrace of the beginning-!-

The Jötnar raised their heads high, opened their arms wide, and began roaring out at the top of their lungs . The snowstorm worsened in an instant, while flames mixed with particles of sand spread out into their surroundings .

The Vampire King kept his head bowed, but there was a faint little smile etched on his face .

For the sake of his revenge, he decided to let go of the spear .

“Oh you foolish king…” Avaldi muttered as his trembling hand began pressing down on his forehead and temples . He was still in his human facade, and the pressure from his fingers caused his wrinkled skin to tear open, drawing blood . “You dare…”

The blood trickled down past his eye, his cheek, then eventually reached his chin to drip to the ground .

Avaldi exploded in rage . “…to betray me?!”

-Let’s go . Prepare to move out!-

The Jötnar began smashing their fists into the mountain range surrounding them . Boulders and blocks of ice tumbled down .

-Crush everything that dares to block our path!-

The ground split apart .

The giants began marching forward while destroying the frozen mountain range .

The ranks of the Jötnar split into two and headed to their new destinations while breaking through the mountain range . One group, heading to east, while the other, to south .

-Let us march forward!-

The Kingdom of Frants was to the east, while…

-Let us revert everything back to their beginning . –

The Kingdoms of Aihrance and Lome could be found south of here .

-We are the saviours, and we shall also become the gods that rule over the beginning of everything!-

The Jötnar . The bringers of the destruction of the world .

And so, the march of the destruction had begun in earnest .

Fin .
