The Useless 8th Prince
Aftermaths
A month and a half later.
After a war that took a lot of casualties, the figure of Ciel disappeared just like that from the Black Star Kingdom. With the loss of a town in the center of Zevirrius’s Duchy, The Doom Knight begins to become one of the enduring legends.
Meanwhile, in a simple tavern.
In the tavern, there was an old man who looked very friendly. His entire hair was on his head, even his mustache and beard were white with age. But his face looks healthy, his hair is neatly combed, really still unpretentious at his age.
The old man was wearing a black robe, but could barely hide his extraordinary figure.
“Your order, Sir.”
Seeing a servant coming to bring the order, the old man smiled kindly.
“Thank you,” said the old man.
When a few cups of beer and a few snack dishes were placed, the waiter nodded politely before leaving. At that very instant, a horned lizard-like head figure with red scales appeared from behind the old man's black robe.
“Hey, you can't be like that. Don't come out if I don't ask, Crimson.” The old man chuckled, though,
The creature called Crimson looked at the old man with round eyes that looked clear, but filled with regret.
“Hehehe .. it's okay. But next time you have to be more disciplined.”
As if understanding what the old man was saying, the little Crimson nodded obediently.
At that moment, another cloaked figure walked up to the old man before complaining.
“As usual, you even spend time mixing in this kind of place, Master. Really tiring to find you.”
Hearing the voice of the young man from behind the hood, the old man sipped a beer in a cup before asking.
“What's there to bother looking for me?”
Hearing the old man's words, the cloaked figure suddenly knelt down. Finally, a serious voice sounded.
“I came to report, Mr. Will. New general named Louie down.”
“So so ..” The old man rubbed his chin. “I told you not to use strange ways to level up.”
“Also ..” The kneeling young man looks doubtful.
“Tell me.”
“Senior Aragil .. he also fell.”
“...”
The atmosphere instantly became silent. The old man suddenly fell silent for a moment before sighing deeply. He then sipped a beer in a cup before saying in a regretful tone.
“But he was a good student. I even considered him a son. But ... the boy really chose his own path.
Since you died without regret, this old man will toast to you, Aragil.”
After saying that, Mr. Will raised the beer cup and drank the contents to the ground in one go. Placing the empty cup onto the table, the old man glanced towards the young man kneeling on the ground.
“Is there anything else?”
“Teacher, about the suit-”
“Enough. Although it used to be the most valuable item in my hands, I have already handed it to Aragil. Whatever happens to that thing now, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.”
“...” The young man was silent.
While feeding the Crimson, Mr. Will smiled gently before saying.
“Which is more important .. You should be able to take care of yourself. This old man has a fragile back, will probably leave you anytime.”
Hearing that, the black-robed young man wanted to complain. Such a powerful figure like his Master actually acted like an ordinary old man, completely unsuited. But he still answered.
...***...
In the mountains far in the central part of the continent.
“As expected of Princess Silvia.”
A knight with red armor knelt in front of a girl. The girl looked short, but was obviously very beautiful. It has ruby-like eyes, twintail-painted black hair, and exotic brown skin.
The girl was wearing a silver colored battle armor with a red stripe. In contrast to her sweet-looking and cute appearance, her expression was completely flat and cold. He held a spear higher than himself. As well, behind the girl who stood haughty was …
There were over a hundred red Wyverns bowing to him! Totally bow to the girl!
“After subduing the King of Darkflame Raptor, now you subdue the Flame King Wyvern. As expected of Princess Silvia.
If it's like this, future husband-”
“Jonas!” said Princess Silvia with a cold expression.
Seeing the tip of the spear pointed at him, the knight named Jonas shivered in fear.
“I told you .. I'm not interested in getting married and having children. What I want is strength!”
After saying that, Princess Silvia raised her spear. The figure of the Flame Wyvern King approached him. The girl then jumped onto Wyvern's back.
“Fly back to Palace.”
With his orders, the Wyvern Flame King that followed over a hundred mature Wyverns rose into the sky. Go in a vicious and domineering way.
Meanwhile, the knight named Jonas looked depressed. Looking towards Princess Silvia leaving, she smiled bitterly.
“I'm sorry, My King. Yet your Princess ... is really too stubborn to be persuaded.”
...***...
Within the secret room of the Northern Palace, the Royal Capital of the Black Sun Empire.
“Huh ... Huh .. I said, SUBMIT!”
With a left hand filled with blood, the figure of Ciel holding the Dragon Slayer Armor while gritting his teeth.
Dragon Slayer Armor, an armor made entirely of strong adult Dragon parts. Complete with his soul. Another name for him is .. Living Armor.
Yes, the thing forged in a way that has been lost is truly alive. In fact, making its users as a host. Once using the Armor, its host power would increase drastically quickly due to having talent like a Dragon.
But there is a price to pay. Once wearing the armor, they would fuse together. In other words, it could not be removed unless the figure died.
What Ciel did after returning to the Palace was to meet his father, then begin refining the Dragon Slayer Armor with the forbidden technique. Making him a puppet like a golem refined with alchemy techniques.
Sacrificing many precious items and a lot of his own blood, Ciel attempted to change the armor with a forbidden technique. It's just that the process doesn't go smoothly and takes too much time.
The Dragon Soul within it was too powerful! Should scrape and bow slowly!
At the moment when Ciel's consciousness was fighting with the Dragon's soul to subdue him, the young man was suddenly startled.
Removing his hand from the Dragon Slayer Armor, Ciel took a few steps back. At that very instant, the Dragon Slayer Armor that was originally standing like a statue suddenly moved and kneeled in front of Ciel.
Recalling how there were small soul fragments other than the faded but stubborn Dragon soul, Ciel decided to destroy the Dragon soul and conquer that little soul fragment. The result was as he saw it.
Looking at the lively armor, Ciel drew his sword and placed it on the shoulders of the Dragon Slayer Armor.
Like a knightly blessing ceremony, Ciel said.
“To take care of myself, my home, and the people I care about. Become a sharp sword as well as a strong shield in my hand. Considering one of the knights I have respected in this life, from now on your name is ..”
“ARAGIL.”
