Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned!
Chapter 467

Episode 467

The sudden death of the king.

The only thing found in the stone pagoda where the king was alone was the king’s body, which had cooled down.

The sharp end of the fallen candlestick pierced his heart.

It was an accident, but it made no sense.

“Ah… ah, Obama!!!!”

I looked at the crown prince screaming while holding onto the corpse, then looked at candidate Saint Rina who looked at the corpse with a hard face.

The reason I called her was simple.

When it comes to witches, the most specialized being is the Holy Kingdom.

Therefore, the words of Seongguk have a great position.

Since it was the words of a saintess candidate who was no one else, but a high-ranking official, the weight was not at a level that a small country could withstand.

“Davey! What the hell is this?! The King… Why is the King?!”

It was a fact that everyone already knew that he was a saint. It was the sound of a king who had protected and protected countless people and tried to make a better country to live in.

Although her position has been shaken a lot recently due to the witch’s work.

“Ah, Obama. Please open your eyes! please! father!!”

The sight of Grade screaming desperately was beyond words. It must have been a great feeling to have his father suddenly found dead.

The son loved his father very much.

The father loved his son and mother very much.

The son hated his grandmother.

The grandmother was not interested in her son, but she wanted to protect even her son for his father.

It’s a very funny relationship.

“This… this is…”

Prince Grade, who had been screaming for a long time, approached me panting as if he was out of breath.

Then he grabbed me by the collar and screamed.

“Tell me! Prince! What the hell just happened!!”

In response to his call, I spoke quietly.

“Why do you think the witch was easily caught?”

At my words, he paused.

“The witch’s power is different from the existing power. The scent of that curse lingers. And now, in the Kingdom of Briuk, the remnants of witches from long ago remain and are slowly killing people.”

At those words, Grade’s face was filled with hatred and vengeance.

“Where are you? that goddamn woman!! I will kill you!!”

“Kill me? You are free to kill, but can you kill me?”

He stiffened at my question.

“Daveyniim…”

Candidate Lina, who was looking at the king’s body with a sad face next to her, looked at me.

“Let’s assume they killed him like that. How would you purify the witch’s reverberation? The reverberation sprayed by the higher witches does not disappear just by killing the witch. Either take the power yourself.”

All you have to do is dig up the structure of that power with divine power and purify it.

At my words, he put on a dejected expression.

“Since the king has passed away, the next king is the king. Choose. Are you going to kill more of the kingdom’s people? Or are you going to hand it over to us to save even one more person?”

At my words, he clenched his fists and clenched them tightly.

He looked up at me with a ferocious face, frowning as he bit his teeth hard.

“Is it possible?”

“…”

“People of Briuk Kingdom!! Can you save me?”

“I promise in the name of a saint.”

At my words, he trembled and closed his eyes.

And he answered quietly.

“Take him.”

The decision was made in bitter pain.

A terrible accident that occurred on the day of the witch’s execution.

At the death of the king, the Briuk Kingdom was literally a sea of crying.

Enough to know how well he has been doing politics in the meantime.

The king who passed away suddenly was also a king, but he could not just leave the king’s seat empty.

Crown Prince Grade immediately held a coronation ceremony and ascended to the throne. As a young king, the king’s funeral was held in a solemn atmosphere.

with it.

The taboo the king violated disappeared deep into the ground.

“Is my work done here?”

“thank you. A candidate for a saint.”

“Hehe, no. How happy I was when the prince asked for help. Don’t worry about the rest. As soon as I return to the holy kingdom, I will write a report and announce it.”

She sighed and stepped on top of the magic circle.

“But… according to the prince, isn’t the situation really serious?”

To think that a witch was trying to kill all the people of the kingdom by spraying reverberation.

“Oh you mean that?”

I looked like I was smiling.

“Do not worry.”

With those words, Saint Lina’s candidate disappeared.

Afterwards, I turned my head to the white-haired woman who approached me with a hard face.

“I brought it. But is that true?”

“Of course it’s goo.”

“yes?”

Reina with a shocked expression and the two figures wearing the robes she brought turned over the hood.

“omg.”

At the same time, Reina’s face, which confirmed that face, was shocked.

One was Grid Malone Briuk, King of the Briuk Kingdom.

Another person was none other than the witch who was the culprit of this situation.

“…”

I quietly stood with my back to the two watching me in silence.

“I burned everything related to taboo.”

“Hey…”

“I don’t know where you learned that.”

I said calmly and turned my head.

“Don’t ever think about doing that again. It’s a shame because I caught the taboo before it crossed the line. If it did, I would have really killed you and purified the whole kingdom.”

I don’t know how many people will die in the purification process.

I turned my gaze to Verdande, who was looking at me with an expression of incomprehension.

“Now we are back to the beginning. yes?”

She snorted at my question.

“If you’re going to kill me, kill me.”

“What are you talking about? receive.”

I took out the magic book from the palace treasury and threw it at her.

“What?!”

Surprised by this, she received the magic book and embraced it.

“That’s…”

“It’s your magic book that was sealed in the kingdom’s treasury. The one there now is a similar replica.”

“Why are you doing this? Didn’t you say you had to kill me?”

I only shrugged my shoulders at her question.

“Look at me.”

because it is a variable

At my words, King Grid laughed dejectedly.

Then he dropped to his knees and bowed his head to me.

“I’m sorry… and… thank you…”

“Aren’t you sorry for your son? You drove a nail through my son’s chest.”

Is it because of a similar experience? He fell silent at the sound of my unusually cold voice.

“If this ugly wine was alive, it would only be a matter of time before the experiment that enforced the taboo would be discovered. Grade is a wise kid. Even if I resent and hate this poor father… I will not abandon the people.”

While he was a king, he had reigned as a sage for a long time.

He was the man who regretted the king’s position the most.

Although he was now a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard, his expression was as relaxed as that of a child.

“Mother…”

“Huh. There is no such thing as a leech.”

Verdande snorted while looking down at him as he knelt with the magic book in his arms.

“Get up quickly. I have a sore throat!”

Normally, when I look up, I would say my throat hurts, but she said the opposite.

“What are you going to do now?”

He answered my question quietly.

“I must atone. I’m thinking of going deep into the woods here. I intend to live a quiet life without anyone noticing. This time with my mother.”

A boy who was blinded by his vengeance in the past took revenge despite his mother, the girl’s disapproval. A lot of blood was shed in the process, and from then on, I crossed the river of no return.

He was cornered into a situation where he could become king or shake the kingdom’s existence because of what he had done.

At that time, the girl who was his mother took all the blame on herself. And in the process, due to some problem, she fell asleep for a long time.

after?

The man, whose mother did not wake up due to his own beatings when he was young, tried to wake her up again, even going against the taboo, but failed. If she hadn’t woken up just in time for my metamorphosis, she would have been asleep forever.

After waking up and confirming her son’s fault, the black-haired girl foolishly tried to take all the blame on herself again.

“The Princess of the Abyss is weak enough to die even with fire reinforced with mana. It’s not even funny.”

“Hey, do you really want to hear that from a guy like that?”

It was too ambiguous to even call her the princess of the abyss now.

“Davey? I don’t understand.”

When Rayna said with a confused face, I quietly shook my head.

“mother. I won’t leave my mother’s side anymore. Until the moment I die, I will be by her side and look after her.”

Once the monarch of a kingdom, he became a more sincere and simple filial son than ever before.

“Until I solve everything that bothered my mother.”

“Heh, your troubles have no effect on me. Uh huh! Even if you want to fall!”

“Mother…”

A middle-aged man hugging the girl.

It looks like a really dangerous scene from the outside, but it was different from the eyes of Raina and I, who know the relationship between the two.

A girl hugging and patting Grid Malone Bryuk despite being annoyed, and a middle-aged man shedding hot tears while hugging her.

The former king of Grid, who had been like that for a while, slowly got up and hugged her.

“Let’s go, mother.”

“Where are you going?”

It was then.

I was the one who prevented a situation where everything seemed to be solved warmly.

“Prince Davey?”

“Who just sent you? I’m sorry, but you are the only vestige of the taboo, and that woman could have a profoundly negative impact on the continent itself.”

His expression hardened at my words.

“If not… what are you going to do? Are you trying to kill my mother and me amicably here?”

“If you kill me once, I’m not interested in you twice. As expected, two became dead, and now two are dead.”

Verdande and Grid fell silent at my words.

“But I can’t just leave the corpse alone. Please follow me.”

There is only one place where you can be watched and you can live without leaving the world.

* * *

“So that’s why you brought those two?”

world tree.

Al pressed his forehead and asked me.

“You have an empty house, right? Just keep an eye on it.”

The existence that can best monitor the Princess of the Abyss in this world.

It is nothing but the world tree.

The current Verdande isn’t as dangerous as Uld or Slygia, but even so, her roots aren’t going anywhere.

“Haa… Even though they’re human… Even though these forest children aren’t used to living with humans yet?”

“You are lying.”

A marrow fanatic who risked his life for a word from the World Tree and the sacred tree saint. In the Holy Land, there are still elves who contend with the words of the World Tree?

no sound.

As I laughed, she kicked the fruit at my feet and blew it away.

“Aw, that’s ugly. There is no such thing as a ticking time bomb.”

Since it was the job of bringing the princess of the abyss into the realm, not anyone else, even the World Tree could not help but be nervous.

Receiving the blow from her, Channa turned her body away.

“Then please.”

Then he bit off the fruit she threw.

Well, this is more delicious than I thought. It smells good too.

“Ha… wait! your guy! What are you eating right now!”

After biting off the fruit at Al’s question, I turned my head towards her in a puzzled way.

Then she asked with a subtle expression on her face.

“Even if you don’t eat that…”

“You’re not eating?”

pretty sweet

When I looked at Al’s words in a puzzled way, she said with a hard face.

“That… that child’s…”

A deer-like animal with a beautiful appearance was standing in the direction she pointed.

What are you avoiding?

“His?”

“It’s the stomach that those children vomited while changing organs.”

at the same time.

Reina, who was standing next to me who had hardened, took a step back in surprise.

Then, Perserk, who was sitting on my shoulder, sneaked up and backed away.

“Perserk… Reina.”

“Don’t come closer.”

“I’ve eaten pretty much anything, but this is a bit…”

You dirty traitors.

I thought about what to do with the thing I was holding in my hand, and took another bite without regret.

“Is it delicious?”

New foods are always welcome.

My actions make the faces of the people around me turn blue.

“You eat that?!”

“Delicious? Try it.”

Aren’t I the one who used to chew on the legs of insects like rebar?
