I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

*PITTER-PATTER!!* *PITTER-PATTER!!*

The rain began to pour down in a terrifying shower.

"Y-Your Majesty! Aack!"

Qasim cried out, gripping Khamak's reins.

“The storm is too fierce! It’s difficult to move forward!”

"Gui! Guiiik!!"

Moreover, the wyvern group was carrying the [Varuna's Water Pillar], which weighed dozens of tons, making progress even more difficult.

‘Shit.'

Otto gritted his teeth.

However, no particular solution came to mind.

Below, there were hundreds of thousands of monsters swarming, and the air route was impassable due to the raging storm.

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Deucalion would awaken.

And when it does?

‘A great disaster will unfold.’

According to Sullivan’s information, Deucalion was no ordinary monster.

It was a being close to an evil deity that causes great floods.

If Deucalion were to awaken, it wouldn’t be just the Kingdom of Iota that would be in danger.

It was possible that half the continent could be submerged, leading to a catastrophic disaster where millions might drown.

‘Of all times.'

Otto regretted that the Book of Carnage had been left void of Soul Energy.

If it had been filled with Soul Energy, he could have used the magic contained in the Book of Carnage to move [Varuna's Water Pillar].

‘I guess this is the only way.'

Ultimately, Otto concluded that it was the only way to resolve the current situation.

In a hurry, there was no other apparent solution besides filling it with Soul Energy.

"Qasim, put me down!"

"Huh?"

"Drop me off! Quickly!

“But…”

Qasim found himself unable to comply with Otto's commands.

Down below, innumerable monsters were swarming.

If he dropped Otto off now, it was clear what would happen afterward.

Getting off the wyvern was essentially an act of suicide.

"Hurry up!"

But Otto continued to urge Qasim on.

"It's an order. Lower me down."

"Ah, I understand."

In the end, Qasim had no choice but to drop Otto off.

"Grrrr! Gluug!"

"Grrrr!"

As soon as Otto got off, the monsters began to pounce on him.

"Your Majesty!"

Startled, Camille jumped down from the wyvern’s back and rushed towards Otto.

The magic swordsmen riding the wyverns dismounted in unison, forming a perimeter around Otto.

"Qasim! Get ready to move the [Varuna's Water Pillar] in mid-air! Your role is crucial, Qasim!"

"Understood! Your Majesty!"

Following Otto’s command, Qasim led the wyvern group back into the sky.

Otto began to fight against the attacking monsters along with Camille and the magic swordsmen.

*Slosh!* *Slosh!*

Since the battle was taking place in the muddy flats, it was difficult to move.

Nevertheless, Otto, Camille and the magic swordsmen were unfazed by the conditions.

In particular, Otto's performance in this battle was remarkable.

‘My movements are unnatural. I won't last long like this.'

Otto was deeply concerned about his unnatural movements due to the slippery mud.

"I'll do something with the ground first.'

Otto shot a petrification beam at the ground.

*Glint*

*Shhh!*

The once slippery mudflats instantly turned into a hard stone ground.

He didn't use the [Eye of Petrification] to attack, but rather to change the nature of the battlefield!

Thanks to this, Otto and his group were able to fight on a solid stone floor instead of the sticky mudflat, which was a tremendous benefit.

The freedom of movement alone effectively doubled their combat effectiveness.

"Everybody down!"

Otto shouted, prompting Camille and the others to immediately drop to the ground.

*FLASH!*

A poisonous curse radiated from Otto's eyes, which instantly poisoned the charging monsters.

"Glu…"

"Gluug."

Unable to overcome the toxicity of the poisonous gaze, the monsters died shortly after.

As Otto's level increased, so did the toxicity of his poisonous gaze, causing most common monsters to be poisoned just by his gaze resting on them.

[Notification: Your experience has increased!]

[Notification: Your experience has increased!]

…..

[Notification: Your experience has increased!]

With each monster that died, Otto racked up experience points.

[Notification: You've leveled up!]

[Notification: You've leveled up!]

……

[Notification: You've leveled up!]

As he continued to gain experience, so did his level.

At that moment.

‘I can finally use it.'

Otto suddenly sensed that he could use a new power of the Invincible Emperor.

Though the status window became blurry, he could still feel it.

The Barbarian's Roar.

Of which he could now use the Carnage Roar.

"Starting now."

A low, yet clearly audible voice flowed from Otto’s mouth.

"Kill each other."

In the following instant.

"Grrrrr!"

"Glug, Gluuug!"

The monsters began fighting and killing one another.

"…..!"

"…..!"

"…..!"

Camille and the magic swordsmen were astonished by the power Otto had displayed

Making the enemies fight each other….

‘It works.'

Otto smiled as he watched the monsters fight amongst themselves.

The [Barbarian's Roar], one of the powers of the Invincible Emperor, has a total of five distinct forms.

Warcry of Valor that strengthens allies.

Indomitable Roar, a roar that heals allies.

Savage Roar, which inflicts a slow effect on enemies.

And the Carnage Roar, which can cause enemies to fight each other.

While he couldn't use the Death Roar yet, the Carnage Roar was enough to get him through the situation.

The sight of countless monsters entangled and killing each other was a delightful sight to Otto.

As a result, the accumulation of Soul Energy became even faster.

*flash* *glint*

Before long, the Book of Carnage began to emit a green glow.

‘It's still not enough.'

However, the Soul Energy provided by the monsters was too little to do anything about the current situation.

‘Just a little longer and I'll be able to….

It was then.

– Do you need power? Then kill a few humans.

A voice whispered.

– Do you know how valuable the soul of a noble knight is?"

‘…..?'

– With the sacrifice of a noble knight, you can obtain immense power. There's no need to struggle. Isn't it better to save everyone by simply sacrificing one knight?

The voice whispered to Otto to kill Camille.

It was tempting him to kill Camille, absorb his soul energy, and use the Book of Carnage to solve the crisis.

It was a tempting offer indeed and one that seemed very sweet.

The reason Otto was trying to prevent this situation was to save people.

From Otto’s perspective, sacrificing Camille to save everyone could indeed be an appealing proposition.

Sacrifice the few to save the many.

It was a very dangerous temptation that could trap someone with a good heart in a dilemma.

…Such a temptation would have no effect on Otto.

‘Fuck you, you bastard.'

Otto blocked the whispers of the voice with the power of his will.

‘You're selling drugs that don't even make sense.'

If he sacrificed Camille?

Then, that would be the end for Otto.

Starting with the sacrifice of Camille, Otto would eventually fall into endless corruption, and in the end, there would be nothing left around him.

Once he succumbs to temptation even just once, he would fall completely into corruption.

‘Sorry, but you picked the wrong person.'

Otto didn't so much as humor it.

‘Even if I can't save anyone, I will never kill my brother.'

Otto wasn’t purely a virtuous character.

He was just an ordinary man, looking out for his own self-interest and happiness.

That’s why Otto could easily reject the whispers of the voice.

Because he was not a born Hero.

And he wasn't purely an evil villain either.

Thus, Otto was able to maintain his own beliefs and sense of self.

‘This is really dangerous.'

Otto was reminded once again of how terrible and dangerous the Book of Carnage was.

‘The Book of Carnage is not a cheat key. It's a double-edged sword.'

The more he used the Book of Carnage, the more cautious he became.

This was the difference between Otto and the previous owners of the Book of Carnage.

Previous owners of the Book of Carnage had been mesmerized by its omniscient power and slowly been corrupted by it.

Whether they were great heroes.

Or the greatest villains.

Ultimately, they were corrupted by their use of the Book of Carnage, and the end result was always a miserable death.

‘One day, this book.'

Otto vowed to himself.

‘I must destroy it with my own hands.'

He couldn't keep something as dangerous as the Book of Carnage in his possession.

If Otto himself continuously felt the danger, just imagine how others would feel.

‘Let's not listen to it.'

With that thought, Otto swung his sword to clear his mind of any distractions.

He cleared his mind and focused on the fight against the monsters.

*Slash!* *Thud*

*Slash!* *Swipe* *Swish!*

The more Otto swung his sword, the more the distractions fled and the more calmness returned to his mind.

He continued to slash and cut, sweeping away the monsters in his path.

*FLAASSH!*

Then the Book of Carnage glowed, indicating that it was filled with soul energy.

‘Done.'

Otto immediately opened the Book of Carnage.

"Protect His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

Camille and the magic swordsmen formed a protective circle around Otto, buying him time to use his magic.

Because Otto would be completely vulnerable while casting using the Book of Carnage, he needed protection from his allies.

Meanwhile,

*Flutter* *Flip* *Flip* *Flutter*

The Book of Carnage unfurls.

"अहं जानामि मा।."

A spell began to flow from Otto's mouth.

The result.

*Whoooosh!*

The rainstorm that had been hindering the wyvern horde under Qasim's command parted to the right and left as though by a miracle of Moses.

"Now's the time!"

"Guik! Gwuik!"

As soon as Qasim and Peng realized that the winds that had been impeding their flight had ceased, they swooped down toward the ruins at full speed.

[Varuna's Water Pillar].

To the place where the holy relic used to seal Deucalion once sat.

By using the Book of Carnage to clear a path for Qasim, it seemed that the situation was about to come to an end.

But….

*RUUMBLES!!*

The head of a giant creature sprang up.

Deucalion.

The head of the evil deity responsible for the Great Flood rose through the mudflats.

-SKREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Deucalion, who had risen from the mudflats, let out a massive roar.

*RUMBLES!*

*BANG!* *BANG!*

Thunder and lightning struck.

*WHOOOOOOSH!*

*PITTER-PATTER!* *PITTER-PATTER!* *PITTER-PATTER!*

A violent rainstorm blew in.

"Aarghhhh!"

"Guik! Gwwiiik!"

Qasim, who was diving rapidly toward the ruins, was unable to reach his destination due to the sudden onslaught of the storm.

Otto also witnessed the scene.

Deucalion's final struggle was obstructing Qasim.

Then…….

"गा.."ज

Another spell flowed from Otto's mouth.

*FLASH!*

Following this, a blinding white flash engulfed the world, and a bolt of lightning struck, hitting Deucalion's head.

*BANG!!!*

A deafening explosion that deafens everyone.

– ……!

The roaring Deucalion stood still as if time had stopped.

Deucalion momentarily lost consciousness due to the divine punishment delivered by Otto.

In the midst of this.

*Thud!*

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qasim placed the [Varuna's Water Pillar] right in the middle of the ruins.

The result.

*Whiiiiiirrrrrr!*

[Varuna's Water Pillar] began to exert its power, absorbing all the moisture from the Twisted Wilderness.
