I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

‘Fuck!’

The mace struck Amukhan’s broad back.

“Ouch!”

Anybody watching the scene would probably cough up blood.

“What? Kill you? Aren’t you dead already.”

Otto’s eyes can be seen glistening with madness and started pounding excitedly at any body part that isn’t bruised.

“Is it because your back is wide? There are many places to hit.”

“Hufff”

“Spread yourself properly! Don’t even think about curling yourself, your back should be properly shown.”

“Awww!”

“What? Having thoughts of fighting back?”

Otto’s thrashing towards Amukhan became more ruthless

Since the two met as enemies, he understood that once life is at risk when fighting.

However, he could not stand the fact that his authority was disregarded and was criticized as being called weak.

“Aaagghhh!”

Amukhan couldn’t come to his senses screamed at the beating he is experiencing for the first time in his life.

A warrior of the Haver Prairie, reputed to be ruthless and ferocious.

Even Amukhan, who reached the peak among them, did not have the ability to withstand the indiscriminate barrage of maces.

“Tsk tsk”

Kairos shook his head as he looked at Otto who was beating Amukhan.

“What a lousy bastard.”

“Why is that? Elder, if-“

Camille thought that Kairos was pointing out Otto’s rude behavior, but he was very wrong.

“How can you inflict real pain by beating like that?”

“Y-yes?”

“Being a fan of ancient times”

Kairos said with a rather serious expression.

“Weakly with a certain force, Quick, You have to beat him in a rhythm mechanically.”

“Huh? How to do it?”

“The key is to send mana minutely to activate the nerves of the body. Then the pain is amplified more than three times, that’s what you need to do.”

“…”

“That’s how to beat a person up properly without them getting seriously injured and only get hurt. How is it that you’re a Lord and can’t even beat anyone properly. Huh! Tsk tsk tsk. Truly like an idiot.”

When Camille heard Kairo’s words, he closed his eyes tightly in confusion.

‘He’s not even a torture expert, where did he learn this.’

He would never have thought that the absolute ruler in the past, the Emperor who held a third of the continent, would talk like a vicious torturer.

‘This one or that one’

Camille thought that Otto and Kairos were the same type of people.

And it was true.

Otto and Kairos, no matter who sees them, will be perplexed.

It was because they were people who went out as they pleased, and it was hard to find the dignity and stature of a Monarch.

* * *

30 minutes later.

“Huff” “Huff, hehe”

Otto gasping for breath.

He was tired of beating up any unblemished body part of Amukhan.

“Look at this toughness, You didn’t even faint.”

Otto looked down at Amukhan blankly as if he was already exhausted just by looking.

“Keuk, kkeuk”

Surprisingly, Amukhan was still holding on to his spirit.

Of course, he was wrecked black and blue, but thanks to Otto’s control while beating him, he didn’t die in the process.

If it was Kairos, he would have been more brutal in giving out a sound thrashing.

[Notice: You have defeated ‘Chief Amukhan of the Haver Prairie’]

[Notice: Exp increased!]

[Notice: Reach level 97!]

[Notice: Level 98 achieved!]

[Notice: Level 99 achieved!]

[Notice: Level 100 achieved!]

Thanks to defeating the monarch character, Amukhan his experience went up a lot, so 4 levels were instantly gained and he reached level 100.

[Notice: Amukhan’s potential has been weakened!]

[Notice: Amukhan’s scenario has been deleted!]

A notification window appeared in front of Otto’s eyes.

What the notification window meant was that Amukhan had lost his status as one of the 100 Lords and had been removed from the game’s storyline.

This is what happens when a monarch is subdued by another monarch.

It meant that one could no longer enjoy unique scenarios, various quest and benefits.

Of course, it was a story that had absolutely nothing to do with Otto de Scuderia, who was a rare trash character and had nothing.

“How do you say this?”

Camille asked Otto

“What is?”

“Does it make you comfortable?”

Camille quietly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

“H-huh?”

Otto was startled and backed away.

“… …”

Camille gets annoyed when Otto speaks bullshit! However, he tried to control his temper and pointed to Amukhan’s bruised form.

“I think the price has been paid enough.”

He was beaten within an inch of his life, so he could guess the price had been paid already.

It wasn’t such a bad choice to take his life when he wished it after losing.

“There’s no need to kill him, so no need to treat him roughly.”

“Are you okay?”

“He’s not the kind of person who takes revenge for losing in battle. He’s a pretty decent guy in that respect. Don’t bother killing the rest of the warriors who are still alive. There is no need for that.”

“All right”

When Otto’s order fell, the magicians approached the warriors of Amukhan, and started casting healing magic and performed first aid.

‘Are they finall-‘

Around the time Otto was thinking about the dwarves.

“Thank you, truly thank you for helping and saving us from those barbarians.”

Edham, Chief of the Red Anvil Tribe and current chief of this village, approaced Otto and spoke to him.

Above Edham’s head was a golden exclamation mark (!)

* * *

Dwarves are a race that will surely repay you many times over if you receive their favor.

[Return of the Dwarves]

Content: Talk to Edham and get a reward.

Progression rate: 0% (0/1)

Reward: Scripture of Reconciliation + ?

[Return of the Dwarves] was a quest that reflected the dwarves’ racial characteristics very well.

“How am I supposed to repay this favor?”

“It was nothing..”

“What is our benefactor’s name?”

“Hmm, I am Otto de Scuderia, the king of this region.”

“Truly? Are you a king?”

Edham’s puzzled expression can be clearly seen.

He had never imagined in his dream that Otto, who had been brutally beating up Amukhan earlier, would be a dignified king of a country.

“Hahaha… heh heh heh, wooow, A king, I guess you were one after all”

“Why? Is there something wrong?”

Otto, quick witted, read Edham’s thoughts based on his expression like a ghost making Edham widen his eyes.

*cough* “Oh, nothing at all” *cough*

Edham began to shake his head at Otto’s question.

Otto was angry again due to Edham’s reaction, but he couldn’t bear to yell at Edham! So he didn’t lose his rationality.

‘Patience, patience’

‘Deep breaths… Deep even breaths’

He could not get the reward if he started a fight with Edham, so he had no choice but to be patient.

“So it’s King Otto, you say”

“Yes”

“Again, Thank you, Thanks to you and your group our tribe was saved from a catastrophe.”

“It wasn’t muc-“

“As the Chief of the Red Anvil Tribe, I express my sincere gratitude to you our village benefactor.”

Edham bowed his head to Otto.

Then, the other dwarves also began to bow their heads to Otto in unison, expressing their deep gratitude.

‘It’s quite a sight to see in your whole life’

‘Countless dwarves lowering their heads to a human’

Camille, Kairos, and the Kuntachi magic swordsmen were amazed at the sight before their eyes.

It was because it was almost unimaginable for those proud and stubborn dwarves to bow down to a human.

“King Otto”

“Yes?”

“We, the Red Anvil Tribe, want to express our gratitude to you and you can ask as for any favor to repay this debt.”

“You don’t nee-“

“Just say anything. We will do whatever it is within our capability.”

‘Got you.’ Otto began to smile inwardly, while on the outside he was showing a shocked expression.

“R-really? Won’t you change your words and say something different later?”

“We all owe our lives to you, what else can we do to show our sincerity? If you want our life, you can have it”

“Great”

Otto smiled and turned to Camille.

“Look at this, Didn’t I tell you it was better this way?”

Camille was dumbfounded by Otto’s words and couldn’t refute it.

As Otto said, the appearance of Amukhan and the Kongurat Tribe warriors acted as a blessing for their journey.

It was because they did not have to incur the wrath of the Dwarves over requesting to dig up the new material nor rescind Erickson’s exilement. 

Far from being hated, they’ve become the dwarves’ benefactor instead and will receive great rewards for the deed.

There was no such thing as coincidence in this situation.

‘Are you just lucky, or is it you being clever?’

Camille shook his head, thinking that Otto was a type of human that could not be clearly defined by appearance sake.

“If there is anything you want, tell me honestly.”

“For now”

Otto turned to Erickson

“I would appreciate it if you could cancel Erickson’s banishment.”

“It cannot be considered as a reward. Erickson saved the village thanks to your help, so it would be natural for us to cancel his status of being exiled and accept him as a member of our tribe again. Tell me something else.”

“Are you sure?”

“We dwarves aren’t that cheap in terms of repaying back debts.”

“Then.. May I investigate the tomb of the Great Sage Eldologon?”

“T-that…”

Edham hesitated for a moment hearing Otto’s request.

“Not possible?”

“What could be wrong with your request? You saved all of our lives, even our ancestor Eldologon will understand it.”

“Thank you. Then, shouldn’t we also mine the new material that Erickson discovered while doing the research? I think we should work carefully while preserving the tomb as well as carefully as possible.”

“Then please”

Edham readily agreed to Otto’s second request.

“As one of the people who owes his life thanks to you, we should listen to your request.”

“Thank you”

*Tring*

The quest window popped up.

[Notice: You have cleared the quest ‘Return of the Dwarves’]

As a result, Otto received the Scripture of Reconciliation, created by the great sage Eldologon.

And he accomplished the feat of obtaining the opportunity to secure Metalium, a new source that will be the driving force of the Steel Corps.

Although there was a variable in the appearance of Amukhan and his warriors, they used the crisis as an opportunity to achieve much better results than the original plan.

* * *

After Edham’s permission was granted, the exploration of the dwarves’ graves proceeded right away.

However, it was possible to obtain the Scripture of Reconciliation right now, so Otto and the others immediately headed for the great sage Eldologon’s tomb.

“I will open the grave.”

Edham took an axe-shaped key from his pocket and approached the locked iron door.

“Maybe today is the promised day.”, Edham muttered to himself.

“The promised day will come in the far future.”

Otto opened his mouth.

“On that day, this key will be the starting point of the great unity of our species. Descendants, keep the key and prepare for the day to come. The promise one will unite the world, Was it that?”

“Y-you…”

When Edham heard Otto’s words, he was startled.

“How do you know the prophecy? It’s a prophecy handed down from generation to generation only among the Chiefs of our Tribe.”

“Because I am the promised one”, Otto declared.

‘Though it’s actually because I learned from it while playing the game’

“Huh”

“Let’s go”

Otto turned the key in place of Edham and opened the entrance to Eldologon’s tomb.

*Drip* *Drip*

Then, the huge iron door opened automatically, and the inside of the tomb was gradually revealed.

However

“Ummm… W-what is that? Why is something like that here… Hey!”

Otto was horrified to see a gigantic creature coiled up asleep in behind the iron gate.

Right now, at this moment there is only one thought currently running through Otto’s mind.

‘Fuck!’

Why is this behind the gate? No one can give a proper answer.

“Everyone, quick help close it, Close the gate quickly”

Otto ordered like a madman, grabbing the key and turning it close to no avail.

*Druuurrrrr*

Sadly, it was impossible to close the iron door that had already been activated.

*Drrruuuuurrrrr*

In the meantime, the iron door kept on opening wider and wider, and soon it was fully opened.

“… …”

Otto broke into a cold sweat and cautiously step back away from the door, but it was already too late.

*Blink*

The eyes of the huge creature that had been closed earlier are now opened and then pupil with vertical lines stared straight at Otto.
