Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 179 – THE HEARTBREAKING DEATH OF THE FRIEND
Albert knew he was not a good thinker. Back in his memory of what happened when he was a child. Once upon a time he had just entered the palace after being taken by Helios, with Albert innocently receiving food from strangers.
“Nyam, nyam, nyam.”
“Albert, what did you eat that for?”
“Ah, I don't know, Master. there was a maid who gave it to me. Said the granting of Duchess Orsena.”
- Plaque.
Helios immediately rejected the remaining food that had not been eaten by Albert and forced him to vomit.
Albert at that time did not understand at all about what happened. However, when the influence of toxins from food began to be felt, finally Albert was just awakened from his stupidity. Luckily, Helios was able to give him first aid that time so he was still alive.
Once upon a time, a senior presented him with a strange hat which he said was a form of appreciation given to someone who was considered very serious in training for a week. The senior said Albert should wear the hat during the exercise as a form of his pride.
Innocently, Albert believed that and actually wore the joke hat proudly during his practice with the other soldiers in the palace. As a result, everyone who attended the rehearsal laughed at him behind his back mocking Albert's stupidity.
Plain Albert didn't know that at all and just kept training. He did wonder about what caused the soldiers to burst into laughter behind him, but still no one wanted to tell him that someone had just made him a joke.
Albert only realized when Helios himself picked him up and told Albert his stupidity.
That's where Albert just realized about the horrors of the palace in another point of view. Not only was the assassin's attack dangerous, but the mental attack was no less severe in the sitana, and the foolish Albert became an easy target for it.
“Ah, come to think of it, I am a fool indeed. Though I thought that since I became the leader in the territory of my former father, I had changed. Apparently their hospitality is also not like a joke.”
Albert murmured in his dying. Slowly his consciousness began to disappear while watching his master being tortured for his stupidity.
Albert knew what his condition was. It was water curse. The curse once activated, will continue to gnaw your body from within until it doesn't take long for you to die.
Albert believed in his master. But because of that, he who believes in the greatness of the power of Helios because he has long guarded it from the front also knows the limits of his master. His master who had slaughtered the entire Cabalcus and even defeated one of the world's grand masters, would still be unable to deal with artifacts that violated the laws of nature.
What sealed Helios' power was not just any artifact. Even Helios, who was almost immune to all kinds of the strongest artifacts, bowed his knees in the face of the artifact. That's because the artifact came from the power of the witch object Isis, sorcery that is able to counteract any kind of release mana like a misleading labyrinth that will never find a way out because it continues to change its object adjust to the change in the state of the target.
Albert knew very well what his master's nature was. Up until now, he would never choose the option to sacrifice the life of his subordinates even if it was the only way to get out of the danger. Helios is the type of person who is more likely to sacrifice himself than to see his loved ones die in front of him. That's the kind of person Helios doesn't know about except Albert.
That is why, for the sake of Helios's safety, Albert himself had to choose to sacrifice voluntarily.
“I'm sorry for my stupidity all this time, Master. I believe in Master.”
“Of course, I will definitely save you, stupid.”
“Sorry, Master because I'm stupid. After all, Master can now survive without me. I'm putting Allios on Master.”
“Hey, what are you saying?! Albert?”
Helios who wondered why Albert suddenly said something strange, finally looked back.
“Rise, Master! Be the greatest emperor ever! Don't let these villains defeat the Master!”
But as soon as Helios looked back, Albert had used the same skill as Lucas, the party's first hero shield holder, used when fighting the Demon King Ozazil, the sacrificial skill.
At the cost of his life, Albert sealed the artifact belonging to the witch object Isis.
“Albert?”
Helios was momentarily sculpted. As soon as he woke up, Albert had frozen to lose his life.
“Hahahahahaha. Who would have guessed that fool chose to put his own life on the line to save his master. But what can the dying man do now? In a moment, the master he protected would also catch up with him soon!”
Damian laughed heartily at Albert's death. Helios is now in the condition of losing one of the screws on his head.
“Death, Helios! With this, I will take over your position as emperor, then edit Erre, then kill the remains of your other family, including the illegitimate child born from that bastard Tius!”
Damian underestimated Helios. In just an instant after his mana returned, the entire wound on Helios' body was restored back as if it did not exist.
Helios summoned his sword aura. In just one swipe of that sword aura, the entire paladin that was at the distance of its attack instantly became ashes without anyone remaining. They all died in a state of extreme pain with their entire flesh, skin, and even bones burning to ashes bit by bit.
“What is this? Fucking monsters! Don't come near!”
Damian who had previously underestimated Helios was instantly frightened as soon as he saw the madness of his anger.
Damian then summoned all the demonic monsters he could to prevent Helios from approaching him. However, those monsters were so weak in the face of Helios' absolute strength that even that did not block his steps at all.
Grimacing, Damian summoned his sword of aura to face Helios. Damian is still a fake hero. What makes him a hero is Baal's engineering of using Damian's summoner skills to make him show his heroic traits. And like any other counterfeit, it is completely incomparable to the real one.
-trange.
In just a single clash of swords, Damian was thrown so far into the tree that his mouth was bleeding.
“Basic monster!”
“You... You could take Albert's life just because of a trivial matter of your love for Vierra?”
“Of course. For me, my love for Yayang Erre is everything!”
-trange.
-Krak.
The sword of Damian aura was also cracked into pieces.
“How can it?”
-slashwas.
“Aaaakkkkhhhh!”
Beyond Damian's expectations, Helios attacked him as fast as lightning and severed all the fingers on his right hand.
“Do you still say love is everything with your life at stake? I'll make sure of your terrible death until Vierra will be disgusted to see your body again.”
“Aaaaakkkhhh!”
Damian's roar sounded nonstop. It was so terrifying that the paladins behind him did not dare to approach them to save Damian.
“Well, now, which is more important? Yayang Erre or your pain?”
“I'm sorry. I'm mistaken. Forgive me.”
-buak.
“Aaaakkkhhh!”
“I didn't tell you to apologize! I asked if Yayang Erre is important to you?!”
“No. No. gabe. No. gabe. That percular is nothing to me. He's just a bunch of trash.”
Helios laughed at Damian.
“True. That's your true form. You don't love Vierra. It was only your selfishness that considered Vierra as an item that I snatched from you. To you he is nothing more than an item. That's the way trash minds like you, Damian.”
Damian's mind has been broken. He no longer cared about all the talk of Helios. All he wants is safety.
“Please, forgive me!”
“Before that, one more question I asked you. Seven years ago in Painfinn City when Leon died from Perseus' monster attack, it was all your design, wasn't it?”
“No. No. gabe. Not me, really! So forgive me!”
But Helios did not care what Damian said orally. The deviation of his mana flow that hinted at the lies of his speech had proved everything.
“So so.”
“Iya true..”
“I had suspected that Leon could not die just because of the attacks of high-level heroic-ranked monsters. It was all you apparently who had engineered by attacking him from behind in his exhaustion. Isn't that right?”
“What's..”
“That's how trash like you acts. I was the one who stupidly held myself back from interrogating you when you suspected you. If only I could get rid of a dangerous thorn like you long ago, then Albert would still be by my side today.”
In tears, Helios raised his sword.
“No, no, wait! Forgive me, please!”
“Pardon? Do you think I'll spare a thorn in the flesh like you?”
-slashwas.
Damian could say nothing more. His life was gone from his body.
After Damian's death, the paladins had long drawn their tails to escape the forest, leaving Helios alone with a pile of corpses piled nearby.
Helios stared blankly at one of the bodies, Albert's body.
“Hey, stupid! Wake up! It's all over. I killed Damian. So get back up!”
But of course Albert who had become a corpse would not be able to answer the call of Helios.
“I told you to get up, you idiot! Don't sleep like that! I know your physical endurance is stronger than normal people, so you won't lose just because of that!”
But different from his words, Helios most know that Albert had long lost his life because he was no longer able to see which flow from Albert signifying his life had been cut off.
Helios roared.
“Build! Wake up! Wake up! Stupid fool!”
At that time Helios remembered the virus he developed through the vampire virus as the basis.
“True. That way, I can resurrect Albert. Come back, Albert! Let's take our revenge on everyone who made you this way.”
Helios has gone mad.
