The Grand Prince Has Run Away - Chapter 75

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t pointing at you Ms. Nemisona.”

As Princess Ignes apologized in a hurry, Nemisona replied in a cold tone.

“I know that too. Of course, you were talking about someone else, weren’t you?”

“Thank you for understanding.”

Nemisona slightly turned towards me.

“You human. Reveal your identity right now.”

“Me? I’m Kaoyan Anuki.”

“I didn’t want to hear your lowly name. I asked you to take off your mask.”

I chuckled.

“Why should I?”

Nemisona narrowed her eyes at him.

“This arrogant guy.”

Armida held me down and stood up to apologize.

“I apologize Ms. Nemisona. He originally doesn’t have manners.”

“Armida. You don’t interfere. If he doesn’t have manners then he can learn a lesson and fix it.”

“But-……..”

Nemisona’s hologram approached me slowly.

“Human. I’m saying it again. Take off your mask right now and reveal yourself confidently.”

“If you take it off, I’ll do it together with you. Should we both do it at the same time?”

“Say what? You human. Do I look like a mistress to you?”

I stared at her.

“No.”

“Then who do you think I am?”

I raised my shoulder.

“I don’t know. I don’t know much about you since I’m seeing you for the first time. If I should say, you look like a ten-thousand-year-old maid, but I can’t say that now, right?”

Shot that. Everyone was so shocked they couldn’t keep their mouth closed while Nemisona’s eyes were quivering in rage.

There was a glow on Nemisona’s forehead at that moment. The glow turned into strong light and covered me.

‘Morgue?’

Morgue, as in the third eye that opens in the forehead of a soul master or a Level 10 magician. Legend has it that the person who has the Morgue understands the logic of all things and transcends the laws of some worlds, but I don’t know well since I’ve not seen it before.

Somehow it looks like I’ve touched a nerve. Looks like this is my end in this life.

“The one who speaks ill of the sky will be destroyed.”

I slowly rose from my seat and placed my hand on Yojo. I’d rather die than having to lower my head to a Valkyrie. First of all, I can’t do so even if I don’t have any shame on them who had a gruesome death in the destruction.

“What kind of sky is that?”

“A fair and noble sky.”

“That’s weird. I’ve never seen such a sky before. Are you a pseudo by any chance?”

“What?”

I walked confidently and stood in front of Nemisona.

“The space in the sky I know is infinitely wide, so it contains both the innocent and nasty ones. But looks like the sky you know can’t even contain me who’s ruder than rude? That place that’s not even as wide as a toilet ceiling is what you call the sky? I know because I’ve seen such skies a lot too. That it’s a fake sky.”

Nemisona gave a sharp glare at me.

“They say people have a big mouth for a reason huh.”

“I was just saying the truth. Since there aren’t many. Remember it well.”

“Looks like I can’t reform you with words. I’ll make you feel the real rage of the sky then.”

At the motion of her hand, there was a vibration around in a moment. I thought it was an earthquake, but it was too short to be an earthquake, and I subsequently felt small vibrations afterward too.

“What? That…. was it?”

Nemisona turned back at once and announced to everyone.

“The meeting will take place again in this place tomorrow. Though I don’t know if this place will remain……..”

As soon as Nemisona’s hologram disappeared, Armida bawled at me.

“Brother! What are you doing!”

“I don’t know. I didn’t do anything. It was her who did something. But what on earth did she do?”

“She sent down the perforated weapon, Urbos.”

“Ur….. what?”

“Go outside and take a look.”

I tilted my head and left the secret room. I could hear the emergency bells ringing through the entire Holy Land of Divinum. As I went to the hallway at that, my eyes trembled at the view outside the window.

A steel giant of over 100 meters tall was walking towards the Castle of Divinum from the wilds. It looked like the regular earthquakes he was feeling all along was the vibration of that guy’s footsteps. 

‘The Master of Destruction?’

The Master of Destruction was the steel giant that destroyed the Kingdom of Isera even before the Yosrahim Empire was built. People now would call it the fury of the sky, but looking at now, it was the hysteria of that old maid.

“Even that old maid’s hysteria turns out like this if it ages ten-thousand years I see.”

Armida shouted bitterly.

“Is this the time to joke around? If that guy comes here, every single person in the Castle of Divinum dies.”

“So, you can just block him, can’t you?”

“How do I stop something that Ms. Nemisona sent?”

Well, they were the people who ran to heaven during the great destruction. I thought that it wouldn’t be any much of a difference now. 

I stared at Katrianne who followed us out.

“What do you think?”

Katrianne turned her head. The Great Saintess of Flame was right under Nemisona’s commands. She couldn’t get involved anymore. 

“You set this up yourself.”

“I thought it was you who started it?”

“What?”

“Who asked you to try to take off someone else’s mask? This took place because you tried to pull useless tricks.”

Princess Igness lowered her head as I made it clear. It somewhat looked like she was ashamed of it though.

Shura hurriedly interfered.

“Master. What are you going to do?”

“Flee.”

Armida stirred her head.

“Urbos chases his target to the end of the world.”

“Well, that’s good then.”

“What?”

“If I take him to Yosrahim Empire, grandpa Klaud will get rid of him. That grandpa cherishes the empire a lot you know.”

“What about the people who will die amidst it?”

“Mmm. Then, should I take him to the Lumen Kingdom? You know who’s there in the Lumen Kingdom, right?”

“Would that make it any less?”

“I mean, since it’s a struggle started thanks to their princess, it’s probably going to be every man for himself, isn’t it?”

Armida went silent and turned around.

“Forget about it. You go and buy some time instead.”

“Why?”

“I’ll go to Kronos and try to convince Ms. Prosia. Since she’s a person of principles, she will not accept anything that causes chaos in the human world.”

“So, it will be solved if we just buy some time?”

“Perhaps…….”

It was a very low-confidence tone. I don’t know if I should believe it. I roughly grabbed Yojo and spoke to Shura.

“Shura. You hurry up and go to Padilla. And take refuge at the South Gate.”

“What about you?”

“I mean, I just have to go around running away well.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

I jumped outside through the window. I landed on the floor and held Yojo, asking for direction to flee. Soon, when the point of the sword pointed towards a direction, Yojo’s power was driven up uproariously.

The direction Yojo pointed at was the North Gate. The exact side Urbos was coming from.

‘Yojo, this guy. Looks like he’s gotten strange after coming to the real world. There’s not a single instance he pointed towards the right direction.’

I turned it around continuously, but Yojo pointed only towards the North. Argh, whatever. I have to go and see first. If it doesn’t work after I reach, I just have to run away again.

I summoned a pitch-black horse and got onto it.

“Let’s go.”

While I was crossing the Castle of Divinum, I could see the knights and castle soldiers running towards the North Gate. Looking at how they’re holding war weapons in their hands and running with an expression of having a call of duty, it seemed like Urbos had the thought of fighting back.

‘But, is it okay for devotees to confront the fury of God? I mean, who cares.’

Like, it was the same during the period of destruction too. Though the human race believed in God, they ended up fighting desperately to survive against God’s will of destruction.

Of course, some lunatics destroyed the resistance of the human race, but most fought back with all their might.

Right as I exited through the main entrance of the Castle of Divinum, I heard the wailing of the residents. They feared the fury of God that was approaching and were either chanting the prayer of repentance or just running for their lives.

“The steel monster is coming from the North. Everyone, please head towards the South Gate!”

A castle soldier’s earnest cry expressed God’s fury as the monster. Well, at this point there wasn’t much of a difference between God’s fury and a monster.

Right then, a humungous rock came flying from beyond the walls. It swept by the nearby street and left a trace of strong destruction on the Castle of Divinum. 

“Aaaaaaarghhhhhhh!”

The residents now went from horror to panic. The ones who were praying too had disappeared out of the blue and everyone did nothing but run. Since they’re in a panic, it seemed like they just got to their senses.

Right. Now wasn’t the time to find God, but to just run for your life.

‘But then, what am I doing right now? Going crazy.’

When I was grumbling to myself, I could see a doll that was heading towards me by jumping over the rooftops of buildings nearby. It was Evelyn. As I slowed down, she caught up with me and yelled out.

“You. What on earth happened?”

“Ah, it’s the hysteria of that old maid.”

“Huh?”

“I teased Nemisona by calling her an old maid and she got pissed off. This is why they say that when you grow old, you should get these people married and send them to the in-law’s place.

Evelyn’s eyes trembled.

“You are completely out of your mind, aren’t you?”

“I just hate to lower my head to anyone.”

“But still, why would you say such a thing to Ms. Nemisona? She’s almost the worst of all levels.”

“Oho. Is that so?”

“Obviously. She was created by the Creator, just like every other God.”

I pouted. That isn’t a big deal. Anyways, they’re the ones who abandoned the human race and fled in fear of the devil. Disregarding the fact that it was equivalent to God, they had no thoughts of lowering their heads to them.

“I don’t care. They’d treat me well only if I do such a pretty thing. If they want to be respected as holy beings, tell them to do the duty as much as that. They’re trying to gobble me up like that, and you think they’ll accept me asking if I’m coming?”

Evelyn chuckled.

“You. You do so much more than us huh. Just stand by our side instead.”

“Enough. You think you guys are good?”

“What about us?”

“Don’t tell me you forgot about the mess that was made in Kara? How many people killed me?”

Evelyn widened her eyes.

“So, you didn’t die?”

“At least I’ve killed just the swordsmen. If I hold the sword to kill others, you should be prepared to die too.”

“Ah, is that so?”

“It’s alright, so just get lost quickly. It’s distracting.”

I had arrived at the North Gate of Divinum before I knew it. There were castle guards on the wall guarding the gate right now, and they were aiming the tributes at Urbos in unison.

Not long ago, they were the devotees of the Castle of Divinum. According to Padilla, it was almost a semi-forced tribute, but it looked somewhat helpful anyway.

Few knights and the castle guards were surprised at my entry and said in a loud voice.

“It’s Mr. Baek-myeon.”

“Mr. Baek-myeon is here.”

I yelled at the castle guards.

“Open the gate!”

The castle guards who were closing the gate tightly said as if wailing.

“No way. The monster is approaching!”

“The gate wouldn’t be able to hold it back anyway. Just open it.”

“But-…….”

“Hurry up!”

Then a hoarse voice yelled out loud.

“Open the gate as he says!”

When I looked back, I could see the knights with the thunderbird flag. Soon, a man who was in the lead approached me slowly with the horse. 

It was Lord Izenberg.

“You’re getting involved?”

“Don’t anticipate a lot. If it doesn’t work out. I will run away immediately.”

Lord Izenberg gave a faint smile at him confidently saying that he’d flee.

“Well, thank you anyway. I express my gratitude for representing the Castle of Divinum.”

“No need to be thankful or anything. I should be sorry instead.”

“Huh?”

“Doesn’t mean anything big. Don’t worry about it.”

In the meantime, giant stones still came flying and destroyed buildings and temples of Divinum. But the tributes weren’t shot yet. It seemed like Urbos was still out of range.

And the gate opened. I left while yelling out at Lord Izenberg.

“Don’t bring the guys! It’s not at all helpful.”

Urbos had his eyes fixated on me who ran fast with the horse. The guy who had a body as giant as a mountain flashed his eyes and stared down at me. It certainly seemed like I was the target.

He punched the nearby mountain with his fist and grabbed a piece of rock, and threw it at me.

Swoosh!

The giant rock that came flying with a ferocious sound hit the ground and scattered dust all around. The horse was staggering in shock. I grabbed the reins tighter, kept my posture, and ran forward.

You cannot predict what will happen just by the look of it. It’s a monster that destroyed a kingdom in the past, I wondered if I will be his opponent now.

But still, I felt quite relieved looking at the two who were following me. It was Evelyn and Lord Izenberg.

Urbos came walking while letting out a grotesque cry. I hurriedly turned my horse and lured him towards the range of the catapults.

The gap between both of us was reducing slowly. Though Urbos was walking slowly, he could catch up to me with his huge strides.

Evelyn and Lord Izenberg reached the guy first with their scurried horse ride. They slashed his ankle area using the aura blades, but it left nothing but mere scratches. They weren’t able to give an effective blow yet.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Then the catapults on the wall were fired in unison. The parabolic explosives hit him for long, but they either shattered or bounced against him.

I clenched my teeth. The fact that it was a monster that wasn’t captured by the catapult, the absolute war weapon during the destruction just didn’t make sense. At that time, it blew up most of the demons in one shot.

‘Damn it! If I had such a final weapon, I’d have left at least one to use when I run away. If it was me, I’d have given one at least in pity.’[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
