“Idiot”

Camille laughed.

“Hehehe”

Kairos soon followed, laughing at seeing Otto’s constipated expression.

“… …”

“… …”

Whereas the magic swordsmen that were with them in the cave didn’t outright laugh, but you can see their mouth twitching and trying to hold and keep their mouth shut and silent.

“These peop-”

Otto rolled his eyes upon the reaction he garnered from his group.

“Laughing? Just leave me alone! I won’t let you go if you keep it up!”

Otto was infuriated and shouted back at both Camille and Kairos, but no one seemed afraid of his verbal threat.

Why?

Because Otto de Scuderia had never used his authority in being violent and crushed those people he had as subordinates.

However, it seemed that it looked different from Chief Amukhan who was not yet familiar with those of Otto’s group.

“Did you say something?”

Amukhan opened his mouth, while looking at Kairos who was still chuckling.

“Take care of your subordinate, Why are you standing still when one of your lackeys is out there like that.”

“Hehehe! That’s my business and negligence, so make sure you kindly understand! That guy is quite thin and frail, so why can’t I listen to him!”

“Why do you just leave a disobedient underling? If they don’t listen to me like that, I would have done something so they would properly listen and obey me at least.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Kairos replied.

“I was thinking of giving you a hard time anyway.”

When Otto heard the conversation between Kairos and Amukhan, he became livid from anger and turned his head.

“These two are really crazy! Who is the subordinate!”

Otto shouted.

“I am the king of our Territory!”

“Hmmm?”

Amukhan titled his head upon hearing Otto’s shout.

“Are you saying you’re the boss? Aren’t you just a normal guy?”

“Yes, I am”

“That’s ridiculous”

Chief Amukhan of the Kongurat Tribe smiled coldly while leering at Otto.

“To think that a boss can’t even be respected by his subordinates. If it was in Haver Prairie, you’ll be already dead. The Kongurat Tribe don’t tolerate weak bosses. My men would have dragged me down and beheaded me for being a weak person.”

It was a remark worthy of a strong man in the Haver Prairie, a world of strict rule of thumb in which only the strongest are accepted.

“Someone who is weak?”

Otto drew his sword and pointed it to Amukhan.

“I am the strongest here.”

“… ?”

Chief Amukhan couldn’t fathom why this frail and thin person was shouting loudly of him being the strongest person in this area.

“I am the strongest one here.” Otto repeated his remarks.

“No way”, Rebuked by Amukhan.

“T-this person really-”

Otto was furious when Amukhan denied his words so easily.

But, in a way it was something that had to be seen to be properly understood.

For Amukhan, strength means monster-like physique so it was natural when seeing Otto to perceived him as the weakest among the current people here.

It’s funny that Otto is only 183cm tall and has a body weight of 85kg, but…

“No one interferes.”

Otto declared from the rest of his group.

“Because he is mine.”

Otto intended to show it to anyone here, even if it would cause him highly.

That he wasn’t a weak lord.

* * *

Meanwhile, Erickson hurriedly went to the down Red Anvil Tribe Chief Edham and help him up and brought him over to the other group of dwarves.

“Chief! Are you okay?”

“Erickson…H-how are you here?”

Edham was quite surprised by the appearance of Erickson, who had been exiled a few days ago.

This is because it was the culture and law of the Dwarves not to set foot back and return to the place where they have once been exiled.

“Sadly, I heard a passing rumor about the situation that those savages were trying to invade our tribe.”

“Mmmm”

“I know it’s against the law, but I couldn’t bear to look at myself if I didn’t do something, so I asked those humans for help.”

“Is that so?”

“Even though I’m an exiled dwarf, the Red Anvil Tribe is where I’ve been living for decades. How can I just watch and wait for the tribe to collapse under the invasion of those barbarians?”

“…”

“If you punish me according to the law, I will accept the punishment wholeheartedly.”

“No, How can I punish you according to our ancient laws when your heart toward our tribe is so extreme and sincere.”

“C-chief”

“For now, let’s talk about the details later, and for now let’s focus on defeating those barbarians.”

“All right”

Erickson handed the injured Edham over to the dwarves and grabbed his axe.

‘I just need to overcome this crisis’

What Otto said flashed through Erickson’s mind.

‘You were banished, but then became a hero who saved the village from the invading barbarians, right? Then It’ll cancel the banishment that you have and You’ll also be able to mine the new mineral.’

Dwarves are a loyal race that never forgets a favor once received.

If only those barbarians were defeated, it would not be that difficult for Otto’s words to come true.

Even the most conservative Dwarves would never refuse Otto’s request.

* * *

With the appearance of Otto and the others, the battle entered a new phase.

The dwarves who were exhausted from defending and fighting the Kongurat warriors fall out from the new battle currently ongoing.

The battle between Otto, Camille, Kairos and the magic swordsmen of the Kuntachi family and the warriors of the Kongurat tribe led by Amukhan began.

The battle unfolded with a landslide victory for Otto’s party.

“Get out of here! Hahaha!”

As befitting an absolute leader of the past, Kairos easily crushed and overwhelmed the warriors of the Kongurat Tribe with his superior skills.

Even though he could only exert 1/10 of the power he had in the past life, that was enough to deal with this rowdy group of warriors.

Though his mana and current strength may be lacking, the overwhelming experience and fighting skills he gained on being on the battlefield tens of thousands of times in life will never disappear.

“Argh!”

“Help”

In front of Kairo’s skills the warriors of the Kongurat tribe collapsed helplessly and fell one after the other.

All of them were hit with a heavy blunt weapon and their heads were smashed and pounded.

The position of the warriors of the Kongurat tribe against Camille was not much different.

Camille’s sword was really fast, when he began to learn the [Light Speed Sword] a swordsmanship skill that was only taught to those of the Kuntachi family.

“… !”

The warriors of the Kongurat tribe fell without knowing how they were hit and died blankly, with their foreheads or hearts pierced.

There was nothing to say about the magic swordsmen.

Since they were elites raised by the Kuntachi family with great care, the combat power of the magic swordsmen overwhelmed the warriors of the Haver Prairie.

Also, the greatest achievement of the Kuntachi family swordsmen was that they killed dozens of the wolf spirits with ease.

The wolf spirits summoned by Chief Amukhan had an attribute of being extremely resistant to physical attacks.

Because of this glaring trait which ignore up to 90% of physical damage received, it was not easy to defeat them by just fighting normally.

Instead, Magical Defense was very low, so they are highly vulnerable to magic damage.

The magic swordsmen capitalized on this weakness of the summoned wolves.

[Flame Sword]

Magic Swordsmen who are proficient with flame type spells created swords made of fire that burned and inflict damage to the wolf spirits.

As a result.

“Keep it up”

“Grrrr!”

The wolf spirits were severely outmatched and helpless in front of the flame swords wielded by those of the Kuntachi family swordsmen.

They were fearsome beasts when dealing with the Dwarves, but they were turned into large puppies when facing the magic swordsmen.

“I won’t let you escape!”

“After them!”

In addition to that, as the dwarves came forward the warriors of the Kongurat tribe did not have the hability to hold on the ongoing fight.

* * *

Otto and Amukhan fought one-on-one without anyone’s intervention.

‘Win’

Unlike usual, Otto’s attitude toward dealing with Amukhan was very serious.

This is the first time he had a proper confrontation as a lord versus another monarch lord.

Of course, he had fought Nazarak, one of the 100 Lords in the past.

But it was never a normal confrontation and fight.

At that time, Otto was cursed and had a -99 on his level. He was the garbage among the garbage who couldn’t even run properly let alone fight.

The so-called dog trash character among the 100.

But now that the curse had been lifted and the power of the invincible emperor had been obtained, the current circumstances were different.

Practically speaking, the current fight against Amukhan now is like the first actual battle he has as a lord.

“After I win, I’ll sever your limbs and put it in a pot and boil it thoroughly.”

Amukhan growled at Otto, while brandishing his huge swords.

Terrible words to even say to a person, but it was 100% sincere and not a verbal threat nor a bluff.

Haver Prairie is a bloody place where terrifying methods of execution are a normal everyday routine for the people living there.

Subjugating another tribe and boiling the chieftain alive was not so uncommon.

*Clang! Sseek*

The twin swords of Amukhan that sway terribly was quite a creepy scene for a normal person.

Its terrifying momentum and the brutality it exudes were such that even a decent knight would not dare to fight against them upon seeing.

‘If I block it, I might die.’

Otto knew all too well what would happen if his sword clashed with the two huge swords wielded by Amukhan.

The difference in Amukhan’s strength and the weight of his swords was so great that it was certain that a collision would shatter Otto’s sword to pieces.

‘It’s fortunate if only my sword breaks.’

Otto’s throat would be sliced by Amukhan’s sword after his sword gets destroyed! He knew all too well that he would die afterwards after being weaponless.

So, instead of blocking Amukhan’s attack, he focused on evasive maneuvers and rolling with no restraint to the onslaught of attacks.

“This person is like a rat! How long do you think you can just run away!”, Amukhan shouted to Otto seeing him dodge another blow.

As his attacks missed each time, Amukhan was so vexed to the point his whole face became tinged in red, and hasten each swing of his swords to Otto more severely.

“Shouldn’t you two help him!”

Meanwhile, Erickson was horrified by the sight and grabbed Camille and Kairos and shouted at them while pointing at Amukhan and Otto’s fierce battle.

“Why are you just watching? If you left him along he’ll d-”

“Hey, midget.”

Kairos interrupted Erickson.

“If you don’t know anything, just watch.”

“H-huh? m-midget?”

“You guys are excellent at hammering, but your fighting skills are way clumsy. The battle sense is even worse.”

“Y-you dare…”

“He’s not losing, he’s actually winning. Where do you see him asking for help?”

“…”

“It will be over in 30 seconds.”

Kairos told him off as if there was nothing more to see.

‘now’

Otto’s eyes, which had been concentrating on evasive maneuvers, found a gap in Amukhan’s form.

*Flash*

Subsequently, gray sparks erupted from Otto’s eyes, and the skill [Eye of Petrification] was activated.

“!!!!”

Amukhan, who was exposed to the [Petrify skill], paused for a moment and his relentless attacks stopped.

Amukhan, like one of the strongest in Haver Prairie, had quite a high magic defense.

Thanks to this, the unfortunate incident of body petrification was avoided.

However, it wasn’t possible to avoid his body from slowing down.

This is because he do not possess enough Anti-Magic Power to be completely immune to the effects of the [Eye of Petrification]

As a result.

*Slash*

Otto’s sword cut a straight line across Amukhan’s chest.

*Drip drip-*

Blood began to flow from the cut torso and fell to the ground.

“Keugh!”

A perfect counter.

It would only take a critical hit in a follow up attack for him to win.

“Try avoiding this”

Then, the [Despicable Death Orb] shot like a bullet and pierced Amukhan’s thigh.

“Arghh..”

Amukhan’s valiant posture, which had been barely holding on even after receiving a fatal wound in the chest began to collapsed.

The sight of that gigantic body collapsing gave the illusion that a large mountain was tilting.

“…Such nonsense.”

Amukhan had a premonition of his oncoming death and muttered in disbelief.

Soon, Otto’s sword will slash his throat.

“Kill me, As a warrior of the Haver Prairie, I have no intention of pathetically begging for my life.”

Amukhan made no excuse, such as saying he was careless or was cheated by a magic attack.

Why?

Because there was no such thing as a fair fight in the meadow.

Losing in a battle.

Winning is winning, regardless of how the process was done.

Win or Lose

Die or Live

Only those two matter when it comes to a fight.

“I’m sorry”

Otto smiled coldly while looking at the downed form of Amukhan

“Kill you?”

“… …”

“It is quite easy to die, but living is difficult.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your life is mine now, why kill you? And you have to pay the price.”

“Price?”

“The price of pissing me off.”

The next moment.

*Wooosh*

Kairos threw his mace at Otto

“Do it properly.”

Otto wave the heavy mace like a club and began to approach Amukhan.
