Became the Crazy Emperor 101

“Damn it! Do you have any idea what you’ve done! You’ve plunged Isborg into ruin!”

“I’ve only saved Tatiana. She was carrying a terrible burden.”

Vestaltin was furious at the destruction of the hearth, while Kalibal shouted as if his heart was finally clear.

“You bastard! Someone kill him! It’s not too late! We’ll fix the hearth and offer this woman!”

“Kalibal…”

The mercenaries aimed their crossbows and prepared their magic and auras.

Meanwhile, Queen Tatiana was looking at Kalibal with thick tears in her eyes.

Was it because she was happy to be freed from her shackles, or because she had confirmed Kalibal’s sincerity in wanting her?

At least, she didn’t seem to be crying out of sadness.

“Uwooooo!”

“Fire!”

As soon as Vestaltin’s command was given, the mercenaries opened fire.

Kalibal faced their fire head-on, roaring like a beast. A few crossbow bolts piercing his body couldn’t stop him.

But soon, so many arrows and crossbow bolts, and even magic, began to fly that he couldn’t withstand it.

Crack!

“Kalibal! I’ll support you!”

Soon, Igrit’s coldness enveloped him, creating ice armor to protect him.

“Eek! Keep firing!”

Vestaltin, terrified by Kalibal’s momentum, continued to order the mercenaries in extreme fear.

“Damn it! Don’t let them approach-”

“Hey, take it easy, friends.”

“……!”

Thud!

“Hindering a knight trying to rescue a princess? Are you guys villains from a fairy tale?”

In that gap, I had burst into the midst of the mercenaries who were launching ranged attacks.

“Ugh, ughaaaa!”

“Don’t come!”

Shushushuk! Poofpook!

“Cough…….”

They hurriedly began to aim their crossbows at me, but as I rampaged, even using shadow blades, they were helplessly defeated.

“Uwooooo!”

In the meantime, Kalibal charged forward, wielding his greatsword like a berserker, turning the mercenaries into chopped meat.

Crack!

“C, cold……!”

“I’m frozen! I can’t escape-”

Thud!

Soon, when Igrit even turned her cold abilities into attacks, Vestaltin’s mercenaries began to collapse miserably.

“Th, this can’t be……!”

Vestaltin was shocked as the mercenaries he had brought with him collapsed so futilely.

“What are you so surprised about? Wasn’t it obvious?”

But I rather mocked him.

“You tried to catch those who killed demons with mercenaries who could be bought off?”

“You, you bastards…….”

“If you were going to do that, you should have tried to win me or Igrit over. Well, even if you had, we wouldn’t have gone over to your side.”

Maybe he didn’t have time to try to win us over, or he thought there was no hope because we were people Kalibal treated specially.

Or maybe he just hoped that Kalibal would die or be weakened in the process of killing the demon.

“Vestaltiiiiiiiiin!”

……As you can see, Kalibal was not weakened at all, but in very good condition.

Covered in the blood of the last remaining mercenary, he was glaring at Vestaltin, who was now alone.

“Vestaltin! The time has come to pay the price for your misdeeds!”

At this moment, Kalibal, who had become a bloodthirsty berserker rather than a noble knight, was bloodshot, as if he was only thinking of tearing Vestaltin apart.

“D, don’t come closer! If you come closer, this child’s life is over!”

Then, Vestaltin aimed a dagger at Tatiana’s neck to take her hostage.

“D, don’t come closer, I said!”

But Kalibal was approaching him without paying any attention.

“You bastard! Do you think I can’t stab her!”

“What can a guy without a hand do to stab with a dagger?”

“What? Ah…….”

Only then did Vestaltin realize that the right hand holding the dagger had disappeared.

Without him knowing, the shadow blade had cut off his wrist.

He was so frightened that he didn’t even know his wrist had been cut off.

“Go wild, friend.”

“Vestaltin!”

Thud-

With the danger to Tatiana gone, he pounced on Vestaltin like a beast.

“Kk, kkeueeee…….”

“You! Always! Oppressed! Tatiana! Made her exhausted!”

“Ka, Kalibaal…….”

“Always coveted power! And yet you wouldn’t wear the crown? You disgusting bastard!”

“Kkeueeeek!”

Crack!

Kalibal crushed Vestaltin’s head as if he was crushing it.

His sticky brain fluid and blood splattered, and only then did he catch his breath like a berserker who had killed all the enemies.

Igrit had protected him from the middle, but he was exhausted because the wounds he had suffered from the demon before fighting the mercenaries remained.

“Kalibal…….”

“Tatiana…….”

Queen Tatiana approached him and hugged him.

Dirty blood was on her, but she didn’t care at all, and Tatiana cried sadly.

However, she, who seemed to be free from the shackles of Frostflame, looked much healthier than before.

“Thank you, and…… I’m sorry. Until now, I…….”

“……It’s okay. I could have waited forever.”

The two were embracing each other as if they had released their long-awaited, suppressed feelings.

I and Igrit were watching such a scene, stepping back a step.

“This, I feel like I’ve become an extra.”

“…….”

“What, are you jealous?”

I asked, looking at Igrit, who was watching with an unusually stiff expression.

Could it be that she is jealous that the deity she believes in likes another woman? Does this wooden barbarian woman have such a girlish side?

……I thought, but of course, she shook her head.

“No, it’s not that. I’m just worried about what Kalibal will do now. I’m just worried that he won’t even think about his own kind…….”

Indeed, Igrit was worried about that.

Well, if he is connected with the Queen of Isborg, I couldn’t think of a reason for him to get closer to the barbarian tribes right away.

While I and Igrit were thinking about that, Kalibal and Queen Tatiana, who had shared their emotional reunion, soon began to talk again.

“But…… what should we do, Kalibal? The Frostflame is…….”

“You don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

“But Isborg needs that. But in that state…….”

The Frostflame, which had lost its hearth, was still burning, but it looked very unstable compared to when it had a hearth.

It seemed to be burning more fiercely, but it looked more unstable as if it would burn out faster.

“……It will burn out soon. Then Isborg will eventually perish. I have abandoned the mission of my clan.”

Tatiana said sadly. Of course, she wouldn’t resent or regret Kalibal saving her, but that didn’t mean she had forgotten her duty.

“If that’s the case…… maybe I can help.”

“Yes? You?”

I threw those words to the frustrated Queen Tatiana.

It wasn’t just an empty promise to comfort her.

[All conditions for opening the Imperial Soul Stage 2 have been met.]

[Contact with Frostflame magic (completed)]

[Reached the Frostflame Hearth (completed)]

[Destruction of the Frostflame Hearth (completed)]

[Now absorb the Frostflame magic to stabilize the Frostflame.]

“I can stabilize the flame.”

Tsu tsu tsu tsu tsu-

The Imperial Soul gathered in the Holy Sword. Holding that Holy Sword, I walked towards the fiercely burning Frostflame.

“It’s dangerous!”

“Tatiana, he’ll be fine. He is someone unusual.”

Queen Tatiana tried to stop me, but Kalibal grabbed her.

I kept approaching the blue-burning flame.

It was a truly mysterious magic flame that mixed burning warmth and coldness that seemed to freeze anything.

And there seemed to be a risk of being swallowed up as the queen worried.

But the Imperial Soul was whispering to me.

Feel that power, take that power.

Patsutututututu!

I thrust the Holy Sword with the Imperial Soul into the flame.

The flame surged and seemed to swallow not only the sword but also me.

But the flame couldn’t harm me.

Rather, it was synchronizing with me and the Imperial Soul.

I could feel that power.

“This is…… the wish of the Isborg people…….”

The source of that power was surprisingly similar to the Imperial Soul.

This harsh frozen land. The souls of those who had to struggle to survive even there.

The product of the wishes that their souls cried out for.

Religion, God, worship, faith, usually that’s how it should be made, but it was just shaped into a flame and a clan of priestesses who handled it.

It was not fundamentally different from the concept created by humans who yearned for a human nest, the Imperial Soul.

“So the two forces were synchronizing. But…… is this really a coincidence?”

However, the question is that if we include this Imperial Soul, Frostflame, and even the ‘Warrior Soul’ used by Igrit, the three are similar as if they have a connection.

There was no way to know what kind of relationship the three had, and how time and fate had flowed.

[The Frostflame synchronized with the Imperial Soul has been stabilized.]

[You can now unleash the power of Imperial Soul Stage 2.]

[You have built a great achievement that transcends time, and your divinity has greatly increased!]

“That’s good.”

But I put off finding out about it for later, and I stabilized the magic of Frostflame as it was.

The flame was stabilized almost as if there was a hearth, even in the state of losing the hearth.

“This will be fine for a while.”

Even though I said that, Queen Tatiana seemed to be in a daze for a while.

It seemed that she was surprised to see someone who was not from the Isborg clan handling the flame.

“Ah, th, thank you.”

“There’s nothing to thank. However, that won’t last forever either.”

“……Yes, I feel it. The flame without a hearth will eventually not have immortality. Someday it will go out. Along with the warmth of the city.”

Then Isborg will eventually perish.

“But you can live, Queen Tatiana. Is that not enough?”

“……!”

“Let me ask you in reverse, why do you have to sacrifice yourself for the city? The citizens don’t sacrifice themselves for you?”

“That’s…….”

I left the last words to her, who couldn’t answer my question properly.

“It is the kingdom people who make the king. A king without kingdom people is not a king. But the kingdom people who do not protect the king have also failed to fulfill their duty. Until now, Isborg was just a city that offered human sacrifices. Queen, become a real queen, not just a burning sacrifice.”

It was the advice that the future emperor gave to the past queen.

At the same time, I looked at Kalibal.

“Of course you will help with that, Kalibal?”

“Of course. Even if Isborg perishes, I will protect Tatiana and her people no matter what.”

Kalibal answered me and renewed his determination.

“No matter what.”

In a frozen city long ago, it was the moment when a man who would become a god awakened.
