NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29-2
Kairos was the first to notice Otto’s change.
[You… have changed.]
“Oh? You can feel it?”
[Were you under a curse?]
“Really? Can you tell?”
[I see everything. My eyes are better than anyone else’s.]
As expected of the Emperor, who had swallowed up a third of the continent, he seemed to miss nothing.
[But you’re still trash.]
“What’s your point?”
[It’s fortunate that you can grow, but a flea is just a flea no matter how high it jumps. You were never going to be strong, just fit to rule…]
“Shut up!”
Otto mentally shouted at Kairos and approached Angela’ corpse.
Above Angela’ corpse, a red ‘Orb’ was floating.
[Orb of Hatred]
An orb that Angela, a powerful black magician and witch, possessed.
No one knows what it is used for.
Type: Jewel (Orb)
Grade: Unique
Durability: Infinite (∞)
Special Note: If you search through ancient documents, you may find information about this bead.
With that, Otto has collected all three materials necessary for his awakening: the ‘Orb of Destruction’, the ‘Orb of Terror’, and the ‘Orb of Hatred’.
“I have all the materials now. All I have to do is go to the sanctuary.”
The three Orbs are a kind of key that opens a special place called the ‘Sanctuary’.
Otto de Scuderia used these three orbs to open the ‘Sanctuary’ and become a fearsome power by obtaining the ancient powers inside.
Of course, the process was not smooth sailing.

“Congratulations on your victory.”
“Congratulations on your victory.”
“Congratulations on your victory.”
As Otto came out of the mirror room, Camille, and the knights kneeled towards Otto.
“Good job.”
“I did my best. They say you need a strong stomach to face such monsters. Ugh.”
Otto pointed at the body of Angela with a disgusted expression.
“Indeed, you must have a strong stomach.”
“Well, if not, you can’t kiss monsters like that.”
“What?!”
“I don’t think I could ever do that. Never.”
Camille shuddered at the thought.
“Hmm! You have quite the strong stomach!”
At that moment, Olive, who had been watching, praised (?) Otto.
“But, is this your taste?”
“Excuse me…?”
“I saw you biting, sucking, enjoying and indulging in that monster without any hesitation for the past month.”
“I…never enjoyed it.”
“I respect each other’s tastes.”
Olive wasn’t the only person who came to watch.
“How could you have such a genius insight and such perverted tastes? Well, geniuses do have dark sides within them.”
Duke Wazir appeared and threw a word at Otto.
“What, perverted taste? What does that even mean? Huh?”
“Kukuku! You kissed that gruesome monster without any hesitation, all for the sake of the mission. You’re really amazing! I don’t think I could do it even if I tried.”
“Is that… a compliment?”
“Of course it’s a compliment! Kukuku! You have a really great stomach! Kukuku!”
“….”
“With that kind of stomach, you could eat shit too, right?”
“No way!”
Otto yelled back.
“I’m not some street thug! Why are you saying that I eat shit? Huh?”
“Why are you getting mad? It’s a compliment! A compliment!”
“You’re just swearing at me.”
“Is that so?”
“Okay, that’s enough.”
Otto trembled with anger at Duke Wazir’s mockery.
He went into the mission with the attitude of a true warrior, but he only gets mocked in return…
‘Let’s see. I’ll get back at them…’ Then.
“Your Majesty.” Camille approached Otto and smiled.
“You did really well.”
“Huh?”
“You succeeded in avenging your parents.”
Otto realized that defeating Angela had a very special meaning for Camille as well.
For Camille, Otto’s father, Lord Oryx, was like a father to him.
Strictly speaking, this was no different from Camille’s revenge, not Otto’s.
“It took a long time… but we succeeded in our revenge. We also lifted the curse.”
“The deceased would be pleased as well.”
“I hope so.”
Otto decided to give Camille a small gift as he said this.
“Knight Camille. No, Camille hyung.” (TL: Referring as an Older Brother.)
“Yes…?”
“I’m going to hold a ritual to honor and comfort my father and mother. It’s a ritual to comfort those who have passed away. I’m going to sacrifice Angela’ neck for them.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“Come to the ritual.”
“Of course…”
“Let’s burn incense together.”
“Excuse me…?”
“Let’s burn incense together.”
Camille was stunned by Otto’s words.
In this world, burning incense together meant being a part of a ‘Family’.
TL: Hello, I haven’t been feeling well for the past couple of days due to a change in weather. That’s why there has been no updates. But I feel fine now, so you can expect updates just like before.
