CHAPTER 2 : the mercy of cruelty

Jake had dug his own grave, his sick mother and sister had nowhere to go, and the Forbidden Mountain, which was from the border lands of Castlevania, had only medicinal plants to cure them, and he, who that his father died in Vlad's war with Duke Sir Galahad the Knights of the Round Table, he had no money to buy them, and he could not treat the two who were infected with the plague.

He was forced to come with them to the Forbidden Mountain and spend several days looking for magical herbs, but he had not found anything and at this time when his mother and sister were burning with fever and in the small dilapidated house that He was barely able to stand on his feet, they were sleeping on tattered and old clothes, a boy who was only fourteen years old and could one day take his place at his father's feet and join the ranks of the imperial knights, but with his uncle's betrayal , and pulling up theirs belongs . His fate ended here.

The plague was Vlad's curse because of his lost to the Knights of the Round Table, which had engulfed the lands of Duke Sir Lancelot and Duke Sir Bedoir and had caused heavy casualties among this southern region of King Arthur's empire, today could be said to be the tenth day, that Jake was getting ready and going out of the temporary house in the abandoned village that was evacuated due to the attack of the mountain monsters, but the appearance of a white skeleton without clothes with only two white horns on his head and a crown-like protrusion protruding from his skull It attracted his attention as well as his fear, skeleton monsters were not so dangerous and even a fourteen-year-old kid like him, who learned how to work with a sword at the beginner level, could defeat him with a stick or even with his bare hands, but this skeleton It was not normal, those horns and that crown design along with the aura of death around it, dried up the stubborn weeds that had managed to grow in this cursed area.

Jake was in complete fear and took the broken sword that his father's fellow knights had brought back from the battle, the sword they had given him was his father's second sword and his original sword if they had found it would not be for him either. because the swords of the imperial knights are given by the imperial family to the appointed knights and if a knight dies to keep his memory alive, they give the sword to a newly approved young knight so that his memory remains, if properly He remembered that his father's original sword had been turned at least seven times, of course he was a little angry that it had not been given to him, but he could not do anything about it, those swords were made of high quality materials and were rare, and even if he wanted his father's sword He had to take the knight's test at the age of eighteen, but he had not yet reached that age and was not approved by the small local nobleman, Baron Sakka.

But the fire of anger and hope in his heart was not suppressed .

he held the broken silver sword tightly in his hand and was ready to attack the skeleton at any time if he approached their hut, but what happened next caused him to be thrown back and the whole hut trembled, the huge and terrifying altar that had caused him to wet himself suddenly appeared, trembling with fear, and this trembling when his eyes met the dark eye of the undead, he was about to pass out from fear, but only the will to protect his family was kept him on his feet.

Even if it meant death, he had to protect his family, which his father entrusted to him before going to war.

Those beautiful green eyes were only in black and white, and you can't even identify the color of the boy's hair, which came out with the broken sword trembling and holding its edge towards Hazard.

An inward sigh was what Hazard wanted to do, but now that was completely impossible, there was no air in his lungs and he didn't even have lungs to begin with.

Hazard took his eyes from the boy and looked at the altar.

[Arch Lich Demon King Altar

A little strange but understandable, the main issue was how to get gold, and at the same time, the system came to Hazard's aid.

[You can get the system gold currency by killing any creature or converting gold in your world.

To upgrade your altar, you must also sacrifice the souls of the heroes, which will unlock the higher level forces and the devil king will also face an increase in level.]

A little more reasonable and simpler, but killing every creature?

By turning his head and looking at the little boy who was holding a broken sword and trying to approach him little by little, the heavens swore that if this skeleton had a face, an evil smile would appear on his face.

Only a minute passed, and fourteen-year-old Jake was lying on the ground with a broken sword in his throat, with warm blood coming out of it, Hazard entered the hut while Jake was stretching his bloody hand towards the hut and wanted to prevent him from entering there, but it was too late and he went inside the hut.

[You killed a level 1 normal human, ten gold coins are earned]

After seeing the message from the system, Hazzard felt good, and two women, one ten years old and the other almost thirty-five years old, were lying in front of him, who were burning with a severe fever. Hazzard didn't even look at people anymore, and while killing a fourteen-year-old child was senseless.

his greed to gain more power and interests took him in a direction that was certainly in line with the behavior of devil.

This time, it didn't take more than a few seconds for Hazard to come out of the hut with sharp and bloody bone claws and go to the altar.

[Inventory: 27 coins]

It was time to summon several devil to help this demon king grow.
