Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 166 – MASTERMIND SPREAD BLACKDEATH
I'm breathless.
I let my guard down so the weak ones could stab me in the back.
“Master!”
Then I could see the figure of Albert who was standing there as fast as his power approached me. He also slashed back at the people who had previously done that to me.
“No, Master Albert! You have been controlled by that cruel demon! You are aware of its influence. Aaaakkkkhhh!”
I could see and I could hear the desperate screams of those people under the sharpness of Albert's field. I saved their families' lives, but because of their own stupidity, they now have to die.
“Masters. Master, awake!”
Ah, I'm off guard. I shouldn't have let Albert get close to me because he would have contracted black death.
However, my mind could not handle it at that time. I was so sad that I needed someone to calm me down. Perhaps subconsciously, it was that hope that made me let Albert get closer to me.
He who loved the people of Lugwein more than anyone else, had to kill three of them with his own hands. Albert must have been more hurt than I was just pierced by the sharpness of the spear.
“Luka this won't be able to kill me. You calm down.”
I pulled out the spears that were stuck in my chest with my own two hands that made Albert who watched her up close almost faint. It didn't take long for the wounds to close back down on my mischief.
What I saw from the sight of the villagers I had saved was as if they were staring at a loathsome piece of trash.
I have tried my hardest to save their lives and this empire from the black death disaster. I have provided them with enough food assistance at least until they have recovered from the plague. But instead of gratitude, it was the cold look from them that I received.
It's not that I want them to remember my services and not that I need awards, it's just that at least a friendly smile they can show as a little gift of my hard work.
And not only the citizens, for some reason, the soldiers from the palace that I brought here also gave me an unpleasant look. Even when I was stabbed by those citizens, I could feel the hope of those who wanted me to die alone in that fateful incident.
What have I done to them that they hate me so much?
I was too confident after successfully taking the hearts of the soldiers of Painfinn City that I forgot my identity as someone who was easily hated.
But I am an emperor. I have to be strong. The future of this empire that has had an impact on the future of my family is at stake through these two hands. Trivial issues like this should not tear me down.
Albert has punished the rebels with a proper death. The wrong little I act, their families will also be affected by the guillotine if this problem is heard publicly.
I also stressed to the soldiers to report my assault to the palace as a wild assault that the perpetrators had killed on the spot and forbade them to never reveal that they knew their identity the families of the attackers.
This issue should not be extended. The black death disease had eliminated their rationality so it was not feasible to label them as traitors just because a handful of them lost their health to the point of stabbing an emperor.
I also decided to leave that place immediately before my longer presence could put the Lugwein region's position in danger.
But before going home with Yasmin, he,
“Albert, you also have to quarantine. Find Sara to guide you.”
Because Albert was already exposed to droplets of body fluids that are positive for black death, he was also obliged to undergo quarantine. Well, but for a knight as good as Albert with great mana protection, I'm sure he will be able to survive, especially with the availability of drugs.
I meditated for a moment to suppress the black death disease-causing bacteria that were inside my body. I then took the antibiotic medicine and then with the help of my mana flow, I precisely direct the flow of the drug directly to the tissues where the bacteria live.
I will certainly still need further treatment because the resistance of the bacterial cell wall is quite strong, but at least the bacteria have been in a well-insulated state, trapped in the flow where my body so that it will not be transmitted again to others.
Well, even though there is still a 20% chance of it being contagious, but at least I can take a little walk out more freely for a while, as long as it's in a forest area.
There's still something Yasmin and I need to do. Hunting the perpetrator.
Then I wondered, why did the witch plague do it? Whereas all this time witch should only be interested in the darkness of the human heart to mislead him. That's where I hypothesized, there must be someone's wish that the witch had manifested in bringing this plague disaster once more to the world.
The wich of the plague did not do so at his own will, but he did this in order to obtain the darkness of the heart of a supplicant. Then, who is that applicant? Whoever the applicant was his existence certainly will not be far from the scene of the crime so that he can see firsthand his revenge avenged.
Then bingo.
I really found the person in question.
***
“Hey, Leriana, Ramie. The black death outbreak was successfully dealt with! Didn't you say this would be a powerful way to wipe out the empire so I'm willing to follow your ridiculous plan at the expense of my beloved slave as the source of the plague?”
“That was indeed unexpected, sir. I also did not expect that the emperor would be able to stop the ferocity of the black death plague that had ravaged the ancient empire.”
“But, Sir, Sister Leriana, can't you say our plan was quite successful even though it was different as expected considering the citizens are now starting to hate the emperor.”
“From the beginning the emperor was hated because of the tyrant's prophecy. That's not what I want. I want to take revenge on all those who have dumped me and my family who have sacrificed so much for them. Then after everything disappears, I will establish a new Vlonhard Empire with the help of the Tong Kong Empire in the east.”
Amidst the puppeteers' talk, the sound of footsteps rang out. No, he deliberately revealed the air of his existence. He was Helios sun Meglovia, the emperor they were talking about.
“I wonder where you've been hiding, Prince Fabian. I had no idea you would be hiding in the Tong Kong Empire which had long been an ally of grand duchy Ignitia. No, more than that, I'm more interested in these two concubines of yours. Hmm, that's wrong, I mean witch.”
“Witch? What is..”.
Prince Fabian, the third prince of the former Vlonhard Empire, who initially did not understand was soon able to understand the meaning of Helios' words when the two concubines revealed their true forms. They are Marie and Angele.
“You? You guys are witch?!”
“Don't be that surprised, Prince. After all we've made out many times. Just because our identity as witch has now been revealed, do you now hate us?”
“No, not so.”
“Good, then let me use your warrior as a weapon.”
Marie laughed wickedly while saying that. Not long after, each voodoo doll possessed the bodies of the soldiers and instantly all lost their sanity. They were about to attack Helios.
Yasmin wanted to move forward, but Helios immediately stopped her steps.
“You don't need to go forward this time, Yasmin. Your job now is to arrest Prince Fabian so he doesn't run away to feel the consequences of his actions.”
Yasmin only nodded at Helios's orders and then momentarily disappeared from the place.
The soldiers who now looked more like zombies were about to attack Helios, but there was something strange. Instantly the soldier stopped in the middle.
“Why?”
“You asked why? Didn't you guys teach me something interesting, witch. Those bacteria could really be a deadly biochemical weapon if just a little bit of it is mutated, right?”
The zombies then showed symptoms of convulsions very quickly and then died just like that in a blackened body state.
“What have you done?”
“Didn't the woman who had just been there who knew everything better how wonderful it was to see death with that invisible biochemical weapon?”
“You. You've done something to my beloved children.”
Helios smiled wickedly, even seeming more evil than the two witches before her.
