CHAPTER 135: BREAKING THE SEAL

“You tricked me? This is no way to fight, you are completely shameless! Where is your sense of honor?”
As expected, the loser began complaining even after I told him not to say anything like this. Tch, what a sore loser.

“Honor? What honor? Do you think you’re some protagonist in a light novel? Wake up! This is reality. I don’t give a rat’s ass about honor. Would you seriously wake up a sleeping dragon to have a ‘fair’ fight against it? Keep this in your mind; I have no plans to do things ‘fair’. I will be as shameless as I can be in order to win and survive, so don’t you dare complain about my way of fighting.”

I was oozing with pure killing intent as I spoke that and the hero was backing away with his knees visibly trembling and beads of sweat pouring down his face. I had no idea what he had been doing all this time, but I can tell that he didn’t fight and practice often. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so afraid of me.

I no longer bothered with him and went to collect the corpses of monsters that have drowned. As I was doing that the duo guards approached me. They were both relaxed and were smiling the entire time. I am sure both were aware what the outcome would be right from the very beginning.

“Maeda-san, you’re as ruthless as ever, well I would expect nothing else from a woman that dares to go against both the King and the Crown Prince.”

“Shut up Nakamura.”

“Don’t be so mad, I meant it as a compliment. I honestly like this bold attitude of yours. You can easily see that you are fighting to live in this world. You are one of the rare who came to accept this world as their reality.”

“Yeah, besides, our boss needs someone that is able to tell him off. But I wish I knew about your birthday earlier. I would have brought you a gift. The boss would also have sent something if he knew.”

I felt a vein pop on my forehead just hearing him say that. That spineless and fickle fool, how dare he allow that deal to happen? To not even voice one piece of complaint, just you wait I will make sure the wedding never happens. Both you and that other bastard will pay. As soon as I am strong enough I will break away from this fate.
I shoved the rest of the bodies inside my inventory without bothering to even check the equipment they had. Ishikawa’s words really pissed me off. I walked towards the village, but the two of them stopped me.

“Move, you already pissed me off enough!”

“Actually we wanted to tell you something important. It is about the Archduke and our boss.”

I immediately calmed down to listen. Those two may be my most hated people, but refusing to learn information about them is foolish. If I want to beat them, I must know them first.

“I’m listening…”

“Well you see, the two of them have already met several times in the past two months and since the two of us are always nearby I was able to learn something, you should really rejoice since it seems that the two of them are no longer so hostile towards each other. In fact, I can say that they are even on good terms. I heard them discussing about a gift to give you once you reach A-rank at the guild that will apparently make you even stronger. I overheard that Vitou-sama will even bestow you with a legendary ranked ring.”

A-rank, gift and a ring. He might as well have told him he is planning on marrying me. Those bastards I thought they can’t stand each other so what are they doing being all chummy with each other. Seriously just listening to him mentioning the ring I felt my blood pressure skyrocket.

“But the most important thing is that the Archduke said the dowry has already been used on you and that once the day comes, he would be thanking the heavens for what you received. I know this is a secret, but your brother seems to be trying to marry you off to our boss.”

“Congratulations Maeda-san, in the future the two of us might be in charge of your protection. When that comes do treat us nicely. You should have told us earlier about that news. I wanted to be happy for you as well.”

Those bastards, what happened to not announcing it before I reached A-rank. I could feel ringing in my ears and my mana going completely out of control yet despite that I kept a polite smile on my face as I place my hands on their shoulder.

“Speak another word about this to anyone and both of you will lose your heads. Now if you will excuse me, I think I will go to vent my frustrations there unless you want to be my partner to fight with.”

As I was talking to them I saw them going completely pale. With a stiff walk I re-entered the village. I decided not to leave a single monster alive. Just you wait, I will surpass both of you and make you bow your head to me begging me to spare you. I will show you what it means to take away my freedom. I will become a Calamity in the true sense of the word just for the two of you. You will wish at that moment you have never provoked me.

“I will instill fear upon those that bind me and cross the line and this place shall serve as a witness as to what my rage can achieve.”

I exploded my mana that was raging inside me and let it envelop the entire village. I changed its attribute to Darkness. Soon the entire place was shrouded with a grayish and black mist. I needed to become stronger so I can get away from those bastards and to do that I must hunt more monsters.

Switching from Sapphire to Amethyst I cast a Curse Magic unlike ever before. It had no name, just an image; an image of death and decay as it comes in contact with living things. I brandished my sword and began my hunt appearing and disappearing like a phantom with only screams of monsters being heard around me.

As I hacked and slashed, the sword in my hand became darker and sharper with every slash and cut and I could feel the effect of my titles [Calamity of Crown Colosseum] and [Deathgod] aiding me because I felt my every move was light and every opponent was cowering in fear before my blade. In this hell I became their personal nightmare and devil.
