Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Come to think of it, I didn't talk to my brother much during the war. I was always running around the battlefield with Lycaen, and I didn't have much time.

The answer came straight to me.

“Liquor... It's good.”

“Hehe, it's been a long time since I've had a drink with you. Hmm. So, what do we do? I didn't bring any particularly good liquor... Are you going to be okay?”

“Of course. What if the drinks were high-end, or cheap?" ”

“Haha, right? Dunbane, take care of yourself. ”

It was Dunbane who hired Caith, and his answer came from him.

“I have something to do before I raise the toast, sir. ”

“Huh? What do you mean? ”

“To celebrate, you have to celebrate. ”

“So many soldiers have come back alive and won the war, and there's more to celebrate than that? ”

When Caith tilts his head in a way that he doesn't understand, he smiles deeply.

“I'm going to make it now. ”

“What are you saying now...? Hmm?!"

Instead of talking, Caith suddenly takes a swift step back, fixing his flawed face.

Tuck!

But touching his waist was a handrail on the second floor deck. Caith frowns and yells at his brother.

“What did you mean by that? ”

Shylon was holding a huge Mana nugget in each hand. She breathes hard life into Caith.

“You don't know? ”

“What, what?! ”

“It means you're gonna die. ”

“You bastard! How dare you do this to your brother! Dunbane……. Suck!”

Caith, who was about to summon Dunbane, the Acolyte and Escort Knight, is as hard as a stone. I've now realized what it means to stand idly by the attitude of the Dunbane who was with me the whole time.

“How dare they...! ”

At the sound of a thud, a radiant energy emanates from Caith's body. I didn't come out with the sword because I didn't think it was any danger, but I didn't need a weapon. His own body was the most powerful weapon of all.

The storm blows. You find yourself living in a maze of Mana emanating from Kaith's body, turning into a violent wind.

However, his face, sitting in a wheelchair, was still relaxed.

“Only…. ”

Jubbuck!

Caith takes a step toward the pouting Shylon. And the voice coming out of Shylon's mouth became louder and clearer.

“Are you trying to overwhelm me with that kind of power?! ”

At the end, a crier close to the cries. At the same time, his hands swing forward as if throwing the ball.

Two chunks of Mana flying in the distance in the blink of an eye.

“Suck!”

Caith's face twists and twists.

"When did you learn such power? ’

Two Mana Nuggets with the power to process even Kaith, who has so much power that he can't be stopped.

“Goddammit! ”

Caith's fist widens with a loud shout.

Kwaaaaang, the rope!

The waves of energy scattered to all sides, with the sound of the eardrums becoming edible. At the same time, the floor of the deck under Caith's feet explodes.

In the blink of an eye, the cabin on the second floor was shattered. Then Caith, Shylon and Dunbane, on the second floor deck, descend simultaneously to the lower deck.

“Grrrgh!"

Caith is struggling to concentrate and is barely recovering.

Chop, chop, chop!

A sharp hiss erupts from all sides around Caith. Caith looks around in surprise and opens his eyes.

“Yes, you! ”

The acolytes, including Dunbane, were besieging Caith and holding their swords.

“How dare you do this and be safe!" ”

The ship in the rumbling shout begins to rock violently.

And the answer came from Shylon.

“If you didn't think you'd be okay, you wouldn't be doing this. ”

Then another chunk of Mana floated in both hands of Shaylon. Caith says nothing, but stares at him.

Meanwhile, a shimmering lump of light spins over the palms of Shaylon's hands and gradually expands in size. Shylon points at the two Lumps of Light with a satisfied expression.

“Pretty good, isn't it? It was named Mana Clod. Actually, it's just a lump of horse... because the power I use is unusual. ”

Caith asks a question instead of an answer.

“You are my brother. Why are you doing this to me, my brother? ”

“Are you asking because you don't know? ”

“What?"

“You're the one with everything. family and body and beautiful woman and friends. So why do I have to live like this? by the body of a child who never grows up, relying on a chair like this. In fact, I'm smarter and stronger! ”

At the end of the scream, two manacles crack open the air.

“Khhhhh!”

Kaith, who is already stockpiling his strength with a pile of Mana, reaches out and opens the Mana he had put together for a moment.

Kuaaang!

Another explosion sounds. Once more, the trees on the deck crumble, shattering and the boat begins to shake violently.

“Tsi, flood! ”

“There's water on the boat! ”

All of a sudden, Caith stares at only Shylon, not saying anything.

“Is that the only reason you're doing this? ”

It was then.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Aah!”

Suddenly, the dark flute that flew away with the scream made the tip of my nose tingle.

“Hmph! What are you doing?! ”

Surprised, Caith continues to scream. Dunbane and his pilgrims began slaughtering the soldiers who were aboard the ship together.

“Sa, help me! ”

“Joo, I don't want to die! ”

“Jump! ”

You don't have to scream in terror.

Splash, splash!

Some of them rush into the water. It was because I thought I could live like that. It was then.

Kuaaaaang!

A pillar of water rises from the sky with a great thunderstorm. Red blood that spreads to the surface at the same time.

“You bastard! ”

A furious cry erupts from Caith's mouth. But Shaylon's voice was unbearable.

“You can't keep a witness alive, can you? ”

But Caith is unable to approach the sound. It was because he was aiming at Manaclad again.

“Hehe, you thought you could kill me with just that much!? ”

“Could it have been? Maybe……. You don't really think I have this much power, do you? Well, think of it as light entertainment. Besides, I guess you forgot I'm not your only enemy! ”

The acolytes, who were horrifically scattered from horse to horse, surround Caith.

“Phew ~”

After a long sigh, Caith asks for Dunbane, one of the Acolytes surrounding him.

“Dunbane, is this really what you meant? ”

“Yes!”

“Tell me why! ”

“Hmph, as a knight, I don't even feel worthy to talk to you! ”

“What?"

“The right way to fight against a cowardly, lowly, knightless man is the law of all things! Just because you're strong doesn't mean you're strong. But you broke that, and Wolf is no better than a three-time thug! You don't deserve a sword, Caith! ”

At that moment, a smile pops out of his face. In fact, there was a look on his face that seemed like it was too much, even though it was absurd.

“So you're doing this because I'm not on your side in the fight with Wolf? Hehe, just for that reason? ”

“Don't talk nonsense! Fights and confrontations are different. A scoundrel who doesn't even know the knight is worthless! ”

“Fuck you, fuck you. That's all you can think about, Dunbane. ”

“Go, how dare you! ”

Dunbane's face twists in fury. I was furious with Kaith's attitude of ignoring him to the very end.

However, Caith no longer cares about Dunbane and asks around the other cult knights nearby.

“Are you thinking the same thing? ”

The pilgrims did not answer. But silence is positive.

Caith smiles bitterly and says in a self-explanatory voice.

“Tsk, tsk, I'm an idiot, too. Since you're my younger brother, I've been walking around wearing these... You deserve to die, Caith. ”

Caith seems to have given up something, and a smile of remorse comes to his face.

In fact, he couldn't beat Caith by himself. He was born with a natural ability to deal with Mana, but he was severely constrained by his uncomfortable body. But one day, I realized that Dunbane's attitude toward Caith had changed a little. So after talking about nondirectives, he could see that he was furious at being ignored.

That was enough. The reason for a person can be, depending on what they say, a very large and a very small thing. From that day on, Shylon talked to Dunbane and led his mind to the other side.

And it was early today.

“I don't want to put my brother's blood on my hands, so I'll give you a chance. Just volunteer!”
