I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

One day has passed.

It was a day when cold autumn rain poured heavily.

“If this rain stops, the real cold will begin.”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’m worried. It should be a bit warmer this winter. Wasn’t last winter too cold?”

“Yeah, it was.”

The soldiers guarding the gate of the Orth Territory spent their time chatting about various things, as they always did.

Then, someone approached the gate, their hood pulled deep into their robes.

“Halt.”

The soldiers stopped the hooded figure.

“Who are you and where do you come from? Identify yourself.”

“I am,” the hooded figure replied, “the rightful owner of this land.”

“What are you talking about?”

The soldier trying to verify the man’s identity, furrowed his brow.

“The rightful owner of this land? You must be a lord or something…”

Just then, the hooded figure swung his sword like lightning, knocking the questioning soldier unconscious.

“You madman!”

“Where are you swinging that sword?!”

The startled soldiers surrounded the hooded figure, gripping their spears.

“For those who disobey…death awaits.”

The hooded figure mumbled and then swung his sword, killing all the soldiers who were guarding the gate.

“Hmph?!”

Only one soldier survived.

He cowered in fear, trembling and wetting his pants.

The man who had committed the slaughter finally slowly lifted his hood.

It was Condor, and although his skin was purple and swollen, and his eyes were bloodshot, it was unmistakably Condor’s face.

“Huuk…?! M-My lord…?!”

The surviving soldier was surprised to recognize him.

“Go.”

Condor told the soldier.

“Go and tell everyone that the rightful and true owner of this land, the lord of the Orth Territory, has returned.”

“Aaaaaah!”

The soldier was so startled that he ran off with all his might.

* * *

“My lord!”

Upon hearing the report, Camille ran straight towards Otto.

“Is he here?”

“He has been carrying out a massacre since the gate, and there’s no one left alive among those who blocked the path.”

“Just don’t block him. There’s no use, it’ll only result in more deaths. Just let him pass.”

“I thought so, so I gave the order not to block him.”

“Good job.”

“Now what will you do?”

“I have to go.”

Otto picked up the bag with his mace on his back and stood up.

“Are you really okay?”

“I’ll be fine.”

Otto forced a smile, but his heart was pounding.

Honestly, he was scared.

He had seen people die in the game world and had participated in wars, but he had never fought one-on-one with someone risking their life.

“Even if I’m not okay, I have to do it.”

“My lord…”

“If I don’t do it, no one else will. It has to be me.”

If Otto couldn’t stop Condor, it wouldn’t just be him who would die.

If they failed to clear <Condor’s Counterattack>, the screen would turn gray with the message: “Game Over”.

And the following words would come to mind.

[After avenging himself, Condor regained his territory and carried out indiscriminate massacres of his subjects, wielding tyranny.]

One year later.

Condor had his soul taken by the devil, who had taken control of his body and opened the door to hell in the Orth Territory.

After that, an army of demons swept the world, and finally, the Great Demon arrived, turning the world into a hell full of only misery and despair.

I’d seen this phrase countless times until I discovered Condor’s strategy. In other words, if we don’t defeat Condor, even this world will perish. And the only person who knows this fact is only Otto in this world.

‘I hate handling guns.’

However, there is no one to pass the responsibility on to, so I have to do it myself.

“I’m here.”

When I went outside, Condor was waiting for Otto in the rain.

“What’s going on?”

“That appearance… It’s not the way it used to be, my lord!”

“Now he’s even killing our soldiers….”

“Did he sell his soul to the devil?”

As everyone watched.

Swish.

Otto put his hand in the sheath.

Chills! A cold air was transmitted from the handle of the mace and spread throughout his body.

It was like the feeling of being frozen at the bottom of a frozen lake.

“Ugh!”

Crack!

Despite trembling all over, Otto bit his teeth and tightly gripped the mace.

The only way to defeat Condor before his awakening was to use the mace of the “Cannibal Emperor Kairos”…

“Cough, cough, cough!”

Due to the cold air transmitted from the mace and the pouring rain, Otto coughed involuntarily.

Right then.

[Who is it?]

An unknown voice was heard.
