Chapter 88: King of Chaos (7)

...

“N-no! Don’t come near me!!”

The General couldn’t stay calm anymore. The rest of them had all been killed.

“W-What do you want?!”

He shouted in fear. From a distance, Laika couldn’t believe what he was watching.

“P-please! Don’t kill me! If you let me-”

The sword moved, and his head was cut off. Laika looked at the head fly off with eyes filled with disbelief. Then, he came back to his senses at the sudden voice of a woman.

“Huh? There’s one more here.”

Jaehwan walked up to him. Laika felt fear-struck; he couldn’t move. The sword moved slowly in front of him. Laika felt his back drenched in sweat, maybe he was crying too. By the time he realized it, he kept repeating one phrase.

“I don’t want to die.”

“Do you want to live?” Jaehwan asked and Laika nodded frantically. Sirwen then spoke.

“Oh, I remember. You’re Laika, right?”

“…Do you know him?”

“Yeah. He’s the lowest rank of the Lesser Generals. I heard he’s so weak that he even gets beaten up by the other Generals.”

Laika couldn’t even object to that statement. Sirwen then asked Jaehwan, “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to kill him?”

“I need a witness.”

“Witness?”

Jaehwan turned to Laika.

“Where are the [Fruits]?”

Laika came back to his senses. Maybe he still had a chance to live. Should he tell them the location of the [Fruits]? He felt the Greater Generals’ presence far away, but the sword was in front of him.

“In that safe box…”

Laika pointed at the storage in the main hall of the Den of Pleasure.

Other Dimensional Safebox [Rebirth]

It was the second treasure, along with the [Narrow Door], of the Palace of Rebirth. Laika smirked as he watched Jaehwan and Sirwen walking over to the safe box.

‘It won’t be easy.’

It was made by [High Artisans] to allow the storage of an infinite amount of [Fruits].

‘The password generates infinitely and…’

“Yay- It’s open.”

Laika turned pale. Opened? Without the help of the Prince?

“See? I’m THE High Artisan Sirwen.”

“…The Palace security is weaker than I imagined.”

“No way! It’s just that I’m that amazing.”

“I guess they didn’t think anyone would be able to sneak in.”

Laika then realized the woman was a [Nightmare]. She had pink hair with horns, and she was the [High Artisan].

‘N-no…!’

Even if he survived, if they ran away with all those [Fruits], he would be a dead man.

“There isn’t much. Is this all?”
