Chapter 98

With that, Ottos sword cut Quinon in two.

[Necromancer Quinon].

Life force :

*Swoosh.*

Quinons form vanished without a trace.

[Notification: You have gained 0 experience!]

Since Quinon is an endlessly reviving evil spirit, no experience was awarded.

However, Quinon was a very powerful evil spirit, so it would require quite a bit of time before he regenerated.

And so?

Pow!

Otto stomped on Quinons skeletal remains, shattering them, and then kicked the <Phantom Armor> he had been wearing with his foot.

*Rattle, Rattle!* *Rattle, Rattle!*

The <Phantom Armor> rolling around in the overgrown grass.

*Ssshhh!*

It constantly emitted a haunting aura that was enough to drive anyone nearby insane.

[Phantom Armor]

An armor with the power to control spirits.

It is a chestplate that protects the upper half of the body.

It is imbued with potent evil energy, and the power it can exert varies depending on the users ability.

However, if the user does not have complete control over the energy, the soul may be consumed by the energy.

Class: Legendary

Durability: 2,783 / 3,500

Level Limit: None

Effects :

+25% to all wearers stats

700% Affinity with Spirit-type Beings

Otto didnt touch the <Phantom Armor>.

Its too incompatible with me, and I cant sell it.

Otto de Scuderia and the <Phantom Armor> were the worst pairing in the game.

Ottos character is so dedicated to his own desires, and hes so far removed from ghosts, that donning it would only exacerbate its side effects.

In fact, wearing the armor in-game caused the character to become progressively insane until he was possessed by a spirit and eventually committed suicide.

All it took was one wrong item and hed be dead.

I have no use for it, so its better to destroy it.

Even the thought of having such an unpleasant object in his inventory was unpleasant.

Raising his sword, Otto attempted to destroy the <Phantom Armor>.

Only then would the evil spirits in the Ghost Forest no longer be able to rise and would go to the afterlife.

Its not time yet.

Stop.

Give us a little time.

Just then, Agato, Hildegard, and Maximus appeared, obstructing Ottos path.

Ah.

Otto was unable to destroy the <Phantom Armor> at their request.

It had only been a short time since they and Kairos had been reunited, and it seemed cruel and heartless to not even give them time to say a proper goodbye.

I cant give you that long of a time.

With that, Otto sheathed his sword.

* * * /SchattenTranslations/ * * *

The time they were apart was long, and their reunion was short.

You guys have done enough. Its time to rest.

Kairos tried to let his old comrades go without regret.

They say its better to be dead than rolling in dog shit, but you guys are already dead, so go ahead and rest in peace, and dont worry about me. Ill catch up with you soon.

Kairos looked relieved.

After fighting alongside his old comrades in arms, his longing was alleviated to some extent.

I may not be able to get revenge on that Argonne bastard, but Im sure I can get a little revenge on him, so dont worry.

He knew he was a bit ignorant, but he didnt realize it was more than he thought.

In case you didnt get it, Ill say it again. Emperor Argonne is alive.

!

Reincarnated. Or possessed. Or maybe hes been switching bodies for years, I dont know, but either way, hes alive.

W-What do you mean, that Argonne guy is alive!

Ill keep it short. We dont have time right now.

Otto told Kairos what had happened.

The fact that Julius the merchant was actually Emperor Argonne..

Argonne, this bastard was alive He Hehehehehehe

Kairos laughed in an eerie, creepy way, like a madman, no, truly like one.

Okay thats a good thing hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm!!!

Then Agatho, Hildegard, and Maximus turned to Kairos, arguing with him.

Look! What did we say?

You dont believe us, but you believe that skinny little bastard, do you?

Is this the first time youve ignored us? Im not even upset anymore!

Agatho, the most rational and calm of Kairos three men, spoke to Otto.

We have no intention of leaving this world and resting in peace just yet.

So?

Please allow us to stay in this world and take our revenge with the Emperor.

Are you asking me not to destroy the Phantom Armor?

Yes.

Its not a request I cant fulfill, but I dont think Ill be able to handle the Phantom Armor, its not compatible with me.

You wont have to deal with it.

What?

Well enter the Phantom Armor, and then His Majesty will wear the Phantom Armor, and then you can call us out at any time, right?

Uh?

Otto was taken aback by the unexpected suggestion.

Kaiross men will inhabit the Phantom Armor, just like Kairos inhabited the mace? Does that make sense?

It seemed possible, he thought.

Now that I think about it, Kairos wasnt reincarnated, he just took over a human body and possessed it, so I suppose hed be a good match for the Phantom Armor. Maybe I could even give the subordinates a body like Kairos.

It was certainly a worthy pursuit.

Hey. What do you say? Your men want to inhabit the armor. They want to take revenge with you.

Mmm.

Kairos could not make a quick decision.

He didnt want to leave his men to wander the world.

Are you sure you guys will be okay?

Kairos asked his men.

Ill take care of the revenge, and you three can rest peacefully.

But the men were very determined.

I dont like it. Even if I can rest now, I will still take revenge on that bastard, before resting.

How many times have I suffered as a virgin in my life? I will definitely take revenge on that bastard who made me die without being able to marry.

Ill ascend to heaven after seeing that bastard die.

That wasnt all.

Your Majesty, please dont abandon us.

Your Majesty, do not forsake us.

Your Majesty, do not cast us off.

Hundreds of other wraith knights appeared, all kneeling on one knee before Kairos.

All of them refused to go to their final rest, wanting to join Kairos in his quest for vengeance against Emperor Argonne.

Is this all right?

Kairos asked his subordinates.

I am an incompetent bastard. I promised you riches, and I failed to fulfill that promise. I was betrayed by my brother, whom I trusted like a fool, and I ruined not only my life, but yours. Im the one who made you suffer all your lives, who took you for granted, and who made you meet a miserable end. And yet you still want to follow me, even though you know youll only suffer in death?

And the men answered in unison in a thunderous shout.

Yes, Your Majesty!

Despite the passage of hundreds of years, their loyalty to Kairos was such that not even death could stop them.
