Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 149 – END OF WAR

Saving the world by destroying it first and then rearranged according to his personal wishes. That is the principle possessed by the Emperor Ethanus which is completely incomprehensible let alone accepted by Helios.

“How can there be a leader as selfish as you! What about the lives of the people you sacrificed?! Does that mean nothing to you?! Did their deaths never make you feel guilty?!”

The clash of emotions was manifested into a clash of swords. Helios cursed deeply at Ethanus' indifference to the fate and life of his own people.

“Why should I care about their unimportant lives? They should be grateful that it has become a necessary sacrifice to realize the ideal world that is my ambition. At least their lives are not entirely in vain.”

“So.”

Helios answered only one word coldly to Ethanus' statement.

His ice-cold sword was directed piercing into Ethanus' heart. But Ethanus was able to strike it with his sword of pride. There was a swordfight at a speed that could hardly be followed by a normal human eye. A battle that was at a higher level of the realm between a grand master and a champion.

After all, champions were a class capable of relentlessly evolving. No matter how great the peak of the swordsman class was, even though he was the only grand master in the Ernoa Continent, there was still a limit for him to grow.

Since becoming a grand master, that was the limit of his strength. He would never again be able to grow stronger, instead, the erosion of age when he began to be at the age of 40, began to weaken the emperor who was full of ambition. He looks youthful, but still not with his physical fitness.

It is different with the champion class. It would continue to evolve according to the wishes of its class owner without any restrictions and without any obstructions, as long as its owner had a strong desire to cross the boundary of the wall shackling his own soul in fear of limitations.

The sword of Ethanus first cracked. Without hestitation, Helios pierced the heart of the cruel emperor.

“What a pity. Whereas a grand master like you would be indispensable in the war against the Demon King. But you are consumed by your own ambition and try to cross boundaries that you should not cross. Think of this as the punishment of those you have killed in your atrocities.”

“Kuhuk.”

Fresh blood began to flow out of Ethanus' mouth.

Slowly, his consciousness began to disappear.

The last thing he could remember was the figure of the young man who said he was cruel but in fact for him the figure was far many times more cruel in his opinion than himself.

A figure of the last young man he wanted said it was cruel because there was not the slightest trace of doubt behind his eyes to pierce his heart. Not only is there no doubt, not even anger. That is what should be said as a cruelty.

“Oh yes, true. Be happy! Because you have been one of my foundations for the realization of my ideal world, Ethanus.”

Helios' vile smile led to Ethanus's departure in nothingness for good.

“Emperor Ethanus has been overthrown by our emperor! What are you waiting for?! Are you all not ashamed still not able to subvert the enemy soldiers even though our emperor has already opened us the way?!”

Shouted Alcus von Maxwell cheering the soldiers.

“Huraaaaaaaay!”

Instantly the momentum possessed by the army of the Meglovia Empire grew even greater, while on the contrary, after seeing their emperor whom they believed to be the strongest in the continent with their own eyes losing miserably, the, the mental soldiers of the Northern Empire Vlonhard began to be torn apart and it did not take long for their ranks to be chaotic.

“No. I don't want to die here!”

“No, Mother. Save me!”

Instantly the situation turned one hundred and eighty degrees into a one-sided massacre since the soldiers of Vlonhard Empire began to turn their backs on the enemy.

Although there were still some first order soldiers who had not been defeated, it was no longer a problem about the Meglovia Empire's army winning the amount plus the support of magic weapon artifacts, magic armor artifacts, magic armor artifacts, as well as ice golem fellows for each soldier, and coupled with the support of buff all in one by Yasmin to the soldiers.

It did not take more than a day for the Southern Empire of Meglovia to claim her victory with certainty.

***

A few days after the war, a party welcoming the victory of the soldiers was held in the imperial palace. As the main star of the feast, of course, was the emperor himself, Helios sun Meglovia, and who led the soldier valiantly, Alcus von Maxwell.

Helios appointed Alcus von Maxwell to be the supreme military leader of the Southern Empire of Meglovia and gave him the title of count in which his father, Roguerdz von Maxwell, was appointed as the highest military advisor.

Several other outstanding soldiers were given gifts and awards for their services.

Not to be missed anyway, the award was given to Alice Gloria Fallenstone.

Alice was officially granted the Apes City territory, although she had no plans of cultivating it herself and would only assign a few experienced administrators to manage her territory on her behalf.

He regained his countess title, but it no longer came from Vlonhard, but came from a place that now welcomes him warmly.

Helios changed the middle name Gloria which means glory to Alice to Garcia which means majesty as a sign that Alice had completely cut off her entire relationship with the former Vlonhard imperial family so that she became him as Alice Garcia Fallenstone's.

As for Albert, he is also now given the gift of the former territory of Duke Alphonse Lugwein, Albert's father in northwest Vlonhard in Tarz City. Now Albert can return to his hometown with a sense of pride without being overshadowed again by the allegations as a family heresy.

Albert was given the title count and the middle name Ernest which means honesty and innocence so that his name is now changed to Albert Ernest Lugwein.

Unfortunately, regarding Doctor Minerva wanted to keep his identity hidden for some time from the public, Helios could not give him a gift in the form of a title or territory.

But instead, Dr. Minerva was given her own clinic that specialized in researching the anatomy of the human body as one of the branches of the pharmacy managed by Anna. Doctor Minerva was free to use the corpses of war that did not have a family for his experiments.

Having the freedom to experiment with the human body legally, it had exceeded than enough to make Doctor Minerva very happy.

There are also awards for Yasmin, Nunu, and Olo. Each of them was given the title of baron/baroness for their brilliant achievements. Since they had no surname, under the rule of the Southern Empire of Meglovia, they had to bear the new surname given by the king/emperor. And according to the previous custom of Meglovia, the given surname should be near the sound of the name of the king/emperor.

Thus, Yasmin is now officially titled baroness with the name Yasmin fin Helia. Similarly, Nunu with the name Nunu fin Liosfilia and Olo with the name Olo fin Lioshardt.

It made Albert whine with envy at the three of them. No, exactly there are many more things about former commoners who carved their names through the great war.

Albert insisted on giving up his Lugwein name to be replaced with a new surname given by his master.

Of course, Helios ignored all those ridiculous requests that made Albert even more sulky.

“For why would that fool want to give up his count's title just for the sake of getting the baron's title for such ridiculous reasons after I tried desperately to convince the senate to give it?”

Helios really couldn't understand Albert's way of thinking.

***

About a month and a few days after the war against Vlonhard's Northern Empire, again the Maosium Kingdom showed its actions that thought the Southern Empire of Meglovia had weakened and wanted to attack it forgetting that in their country at this time there was also a dungeon break crisis.

Helios decided to jump into the field with Yasmin and Alice. Helios didn't bring Albert with her.

“Why don't I come, Master?”

“That's obvious because Yasmin and Alice are more useful than you currently are, Albert, since you don't have the ranged attack skill to finish off an opponent in a wide range. You do have a wide area attack skill, but it is limited to a short distance only, right?”

Helios said it without any ill intent at all, but what Albert listened to who had lost his confidence was only the first part of Helios' words, ‘Yasmin and Alice were more useful than you are today, Albert’ or in other words, ‘you are no longer useful to me, Albert’, or at least that is what Albert's mind captures.

And that is what makes Albert increasingly dissolved in his despair and inferiority.

Helios immediately caught the expression and tried to calm Albert.

“Albert, listen! Whatever you think in your mind right now is not true, then let's talk about this back to good after we get home, okay?!”

Albert just nodded silently and that didn't mean Helios had much time to take care of Albert's business alone.

Helios chose to leave Albert for a while while giving him the opportunity to calm himself about the invasion of the Maosium Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Helios was a little mistaken. Helios did not know that when she decided to leave, she simply took Yasmin and Alice with her, that was the initial trigger for the appearance of a dark hole in Albert's innocent heart that began to gnaw and destroy itself from within.
