Chapter 101: Vol. 4 – Episode 14

“You will make those territories... deserts?”

“Yes. To attack a territory, they need to bet their territory that is equivalent value with the one they attack, so if make four territories they could attack, it would be impossible for them to attack us.”

When Kapitle explained his plan, the lords of his kingdom didn’t know how to respond. They were aware of the accident called “The Tragedy of Greenland.” It was a real tragic accident where a land near Rupellion had become a desert and all the extras in the area were killed.

Although there were many theories about what had caused the accident, the only thing that was clear was that Greenland was no longer a territory that enemies could attack. If Kapitle made those four territories deserts like Greenland, there would be only one route left for Sungjin to attack.

But there was one problem with that plan. “But... if you turn the territory into a desert... what will happen to the extras who are living there?”

According to rules of gods, the extras who belonged to the territory couldn’t move to another one freely.

“Burn them with the territory to make that territory useless and impossible for Sungjin to attack.”

It was a simple yet efficient plan that made everyone speechless. “That’s...” It was an effective way to leave only one route for Sungjin to attack, but it was a bit too much to make a territory a desert and kill everyone living in it for only that. “There are at least a few million extras in those four territories...”

“Hmm, that’s true. It’s such a waste,” said Kapitle, but without mercy. “But it is the collateral damage for conquering the continent.” For Kapitle, it was natural to have a bit of collateral damage to achieve his goals. Everything that belonged to him has to be used for him, including the lives of people. He had no reason to hesitate.

“Hmm...” The lords hesitated, but none of them would dare oppose the Golden Wise King.

That might be the only way, although I feel sorry for them... If Sungjin defeated Kapitle, they would be in trouble, so they would rather sacrifice the extras in order to survive; that was the way of the world for them. Yeah. Those territories don’t even belong to us anyways. “But... Do you have any way to make the area deserts?” Does Kapitle know anything about the cause of the tragedy of Greenland?

“Haha, of course. The secret treasure called the Eye of Ra.”

The Eye of Ra. That was something nobody there had heard of.

“The Eye of Ra?” Ra was the God of the Sun, and the legend said that his eye was the Sun itself.

It was not a weapon from God, but it was a body part of a God. It would be absolutely strong, but would it be strong enough to make a whole area a desert?

“Yes. With it, it is easy to make a few deserts.”

“Do you own such a weapon?”

“It requires too many crystals to activate it on the battlefield, but it can be used strategically.”

The lords praised Kapitle for his wisdom. “You are amazing, Your Highness.” The lords were happy with the Golden Wise King’s idea.

If there’s only one battlefield left, even Sungjin could do nothing to stop Kapitle.

Gungnir was invincible, which was confirmed even when Kapitle was defeated.

“But that doesn’t change the fact that we were defeated. You should have time for self-restraint. I will cut down your salary for six months.”

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity.” The lords expressed their gratitude for the king not punishing them harshly, and then left.

When Kapitle was left alone, he started mumbling in a slow voice. “Hmm. You’re causing me to use the Eye. This is getting more exciting than I expected.” Kapitle enjoyed hunting a lion more than hunting a fox. His glass eye started to shine with a deeper color than ever to drop blood from it. It was not made of glass. It was a jewel with a bloody color.

I need to spend some years of my remaining life so I didn’t want to use it, but...

The real name of the jewel was “the Wisdom of Mimir.” It could see the future.

It was God’s eye that showed the way to victory. Sungjin might have intelligence enough to calculate and predict everything, but Kapitle’s eye could see the future.

God’s eye showed the consequences of every act with an accuracy of 100 percent. Although the price to use it was high, it was worth the price to know the future.

Haha. So you used your intelligence to fight against my power? I will defeat you with your own method.

* * *

It was a late night. A crow silently landed on Zakiya’s window.

“Take the order.”

“I’m ready to take it.” Zakiya opened the window and touched her mirror. The mirror started to make waves to show Kapitle.

“Did you win his trust?”

“Yes. I made an oath to him that I will give everything to the conqueror for his victory.”

“Great. Now here’s your next order.”

“Huh? What should I do? Should I steal his plans and give them to you? Should I come between him and his people? Or should I lure him into a trap?” Zakiya listed a few different possibilities, and then burst into laughter. “Hahahaha. Order whatever you want. I’m not following your orders anymore.”

“Huh?”

“Haha. Did you really believe that I’m still your spy and that I will still take orders from you? Well, I’m planning to join him now.”

All of Kapitle’s plans to use her as a spy were destroyed. The discovery broke down his plans like they were sandcastles. Kapitle looked very uncomfortable. “What... did you just say?”

“I was waiting for this moment,” smiled Zakiya, enjoying Kapitle’s expression. Even if I get to spend a passionate night with an amazing guy, it wouldn’t beat this moment looking at Kapitle’s shocked face. The only better moment would be the moment when I cut his throat.

She pretended to be his loyal servant and follow all his orders to spy on people in the castle or sneak in to get information from Rupellion and the ally of the four kingdoms, and she won Kapitle’s trust. But she was waiting for someone who could defeat him.

I was expecting you to fight against the Holy Pope, but Sungjin was okay. It’s too bad he isn’t as cold-hearted as I wanted him to be, but I can disguise that with my own agenda.

The most important thing at the moment was to stop Kapitle from using the Eye of Ra, because if he couldn’t use it, Kapitle would have no means to stop Sungjin’s attacks.

You are such a sly villain, so I’m sure you will find another way somehow... And that way would be to attack Sungjin’s soft side. But I will stop you.

She would stop Kapitle so Sungjin could kill him on the battlefield. She was able to plot it now.

“Hmph. I’m sure you thought I knew nothing about it, but I knew everything. It was not an accident that killed my family. It was you,” said Zakiya with a smile that showed her satisfaction that she was finally able to strike him back.

The Golden Wise king frowned as if he bit a cockroach while eating lunch. “So you are betraying me now?”

“Betrayal? Was there anything even remotely close to trust between us?” Zakiya laughed at him.

“I will give you a second chance, considering what you’ve done for me. Beg for your forgiveness now. If you do so, I will let you live...”

“Ha! That’s all you have to say? Too bad. I know you have endless treasures, but there are things that money can’t buy,” said Zakiya, turning around to cut off the conversation.

“Last chance. Take it or die.”

“Try to kill me.” Zakiya turned around to see Kapitle’s face for a laugh. But... she was frozen. “That... that is...”

“Then I will kill you,” said Kapitle, raising his hand, and Zakiya begged with a trembling voice.

“P...please. Stop!”

Kapitle was holding an axe to cut off heads. “It’s too late.”

Zakiya kneeled and begged. “Please.”

“Ask for mercy.”

“Please... don’t.” Zakiya started to cry. She would not have begged for her life, but what was under Kapitle’s axe was... something shocking enough to destroy all her plans: there was a boy in a crystal coffin filled with water. The boy was asleep, but he was still breathing. He was alive. “How... he... but he... that day...” My family was massacred that day. None of them survived. “It’s a lie. It’s a lie...”

“I’m a generous king.” He looked down at Zakiya and told her with a generous voice, “I kept him alive to reward your loyalty. I will give you one last chance to be loyal again.”

“Limad!” Calling out her brother’s name, Zakiya couldn’t resist anymore.

She was no longer the night dancer.

Zakiya.

What?

I like you the best.

There was a young girl crying in her memories.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Lure the extra with the Eye of Ra.”

“With the Eye... of Ra...”

“Soon he will learn that I will burn few of my territories with the Eye of Ra to stop him.”

“But it must be impossible to use the Eye of Ra.”

“That’s something I will deal with. All you have to do is lure him into the Pyramid and kill him in the explosion using the system.”

“Then...”

“You may escape before killing him. I will let you live with your brother.”

“... Do you promise?”

“A King’s words are never light.”

Zakiya needed some time to answer, but Kapitle took his time and waited for her response.

Too many thoughts were going through her head: her brother, her revengeful spirit that had kept her going until that moment, the living and the dead, and the life and death to come.

She finally opened her mouth to speak. “...Okay.”

“Don’t forget. This is your last chance.”

Their communication was cut off, and Zakiya fell down on the ground and cried. “Limad...”

After cutting off communication with Zakiya, Kapitle showed a cold smile. “You wanted revenge? I will let you serve me one last time before you die. That will be your punishment.” But I won’t kill her right away. The punishment for her treason shouldn’t be that light. You will have a reunion before you taste your despair.

Kapitle wanted to make her feel happiness before hitting the bottom because that would make her punishment more miserable. I will let you meet your brother and see him die before I kill you. That would be the perfect ending for the stupid girl who wanted to betray him.

The jewel in his eye started to bleed again, and the Wisdom of Mimir started to show the future. His eye showed him an ending where he defeated Sungjin. Haha. I defeated Pederian even when he was using the power of Angramainyu.

He didn’t try to defeat Pedrian for a hundred years because the future he saw was the destruction of both sides, but as soon as he tried to use Sungjin and saint Rachel, he was able to see the victory, and that was what happened. But he hadn’t expected to use his eye again to get rid of the extra. But a challenge is always enjoyable. It is the last fun I will have before conquering the continent.

He had already decided that he would decorate his castle with the head and skin of a lion.
