Chapter 110:

Qasim, the Chief of Air Force of the Kingdom of Lota, was forced to work in a coal mine, and he managed to survive a major catastrophe when the shaft collapsed.

He was about to be crushed to death by falling rocks, but was saved by the fact that the floor collapsed with it, sending him plummeting to the bottom.

Qasim escaped death by using an anti-gravity spell to slow his fall, as if he was wearing a parachute.

As befits a magic swordsman of the Kuntachi family, he was able to think of the right spell in a moment of crisis and avoid the potentially fatal outcome.

But that was as far as Qasims improvisation went.

Boom! Quang! Quang! Quang! Quang! Boom!

As the rubble rained down, Qasim was forced to run and duck for his survival.

Though he had avoided falling to his death, he couldnt stop the hail of stones.

After avoiding the falling rocks for about a minute.

*THUMP!* *THUD!*

Huhhhhhhh?!

Qasim exclaimed in disbelief as a boulder that must have weighed ten tons was falling in front of him.

*Drip!* *Drip!*

To his shock, there was something soaking through his pants.

*Plop!*

Qasims legs buckled and he fell to the ground.

Although he was a magic swordsman of the Kuntachi House, the most elite of the elite, having survived dozens of near-death experiences in a short period of time, he had lost his mind.

Ehhhh, heh, heh.

Completely stunned, Qasim stood there for a moment, dazed, drooling like a madman.

But just for a few brief seconds.

Hmpph!

Qasim struggled to his feet.

As befits a magic swordsman of the Kuntachi family, he was back on his feet in no time.

Damn it, I shouldve stayed behind.

Regretting his decision to follow Otto, Qasim opened his subspace inventory, pulled out his night vision goggles, and activated them.

*Whoo!*

The night vision goggles, enchanted with the <Clairvoyance> magic that was part of the Invincible Emperors power, activated, revealing the surrounding landscape.

What a mess.

The scene around him was terrifying.

Not only were hundreds of rocks tumbling down, but the bodies of miners who had fallen down the shaft were strewn about.

Most of them had either fallen to their deaths or had been crushed by the rocks afterward, so the horror was indescribable.

It was a horrifying sight that left even the most experienced Qasim reeling.

May they rest in peace.

Qasim offered his condolences to the miners bodies.

Manual laborers, who were always at risk of safety accidents, often suffered untimely deaths like this.

But this place.

As Qasim finished mourning, he looked around and frowned when he suddenly noticed something strange.

He thought it was a natural underground space, but it wasnt.

He could see massive structures and a faint glow in the distance.

Is this a ruin?

Suddenly.

*Swoosh!*

Dozens of cube-shaped boulders, each the size of a mans torso, rose to the surface and began to emit a red glow.

Huh?, W-What!

Qasim cried out in alarm.

*Pew!* *Pew!* *Pew-Pew!* *Pew!*

At the same time, the cubes began firing searing beams of light at Qasim.

Holy shit!

As soon as Qasim regained his senses, he quickly ran away from the mysterious cubes.

Late at night.

Your Majesty, our troops are only five kilometers away.

A magic swordsman disguised as a laborer entered Ottos tent and reported.

Alright, Im sure theyre exhausted, so tell them to lay in ambush and rest for a day or so.

Part of him wanted to order an immediate attack and wipe out these inhuman demons.

But it would be too harsh to send the troops of the Lota Kingdom into battle right away, when they were already exhausted from their nonstop journey.

At least a days rest would keep them energized and keep them from discontent.

Attack tomorrow night when the timing is right.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The magic swordsman leaves the tent at Ottos command.

Tomorrow night?

Kairos asked Otto.

With high probability?

I see.

A high-value target had fallen into his lap, and that was a good thing for Otto.

After Gaius appearance, the intensity of the labor intensified tremendously.

After completing working all night long, they were given only two hours of rest.

The workers had only two hours of sleep before they were dragged back to the site and forced to work.

At one point.

Aah! The entrance! The entrance!

As darkness descended on the site, the entrance to the tomb was finally revealed.

Stop digging! Everyone cease working!

Stand back!

Be careful to keep it from collapsing!

In unison, the men of Emperor Argonne began to move.

Great!

Otto was overjoyed that the entrance to the tomb had been found.

If the tomb entrance wasnt found now, starting tomorrow, the Lota Kingdom army would have to do the heavy labor themselves.

For Otto, it was like picking his nose without touching it, because he didnt have to bother trying to find the tomb entrance.

All workers, go to your dwellings! Stop all work!

The workers who were sent back to their quarters had mixed feelings.

They were excited that the work was done and they could go home.

And then there was the anxiety that they would break their promise.

These two thoughts overlapped and confused the workers.

After some time had passed.

Its an enemy!

Enemies are here! Everyone, prepare for battle!

Outside, the commotion began.

What, what!

What the fuck!

What in the world?

The workers cried out in confusion.

Come.

Otto stood up as if hed been waiting and grabbed a nearby shovel.

Hmph. Its about time.

Kairos sprang to his feet as well, his eyes glowing with madness and a sinister grin.

If the commotion outside was any indication, the assault by the Lota Kingdom army had begun!

It was time.

Time to unleash the rage hed been holding in for the past few days.

The rescue operation has begun, everyone, dont panic, stay calm! Slowly, form a single file! If you follow my instructions, well get out of this hellhole safely!

Camille stepped forward and began to direct the panicked workers.

Lets go.

Otto left the tent.

*Woosh!*

As soon as he left the tent, a sword flew at him.

*Swish!*

Otto twisted slightly, dodged the sword, and swung the shovel in his hand.

*Smack!*

The shovel sliced through the helmet of the knight who had attacked Otto and smashed into his face.

*Thud!*

The fallen foe was instantly dead, not even moving.

It would have been even stranger if he had moved, since the shovels blade had nearly split his face in two.

*Thump!*

Otto stomped on the enemys chest and wrenched the shovel out of his face.

This thing wont come out. Shit.

Otto grumbled, as he spat on the dead enemys body.

Hed seen enough of their misdeeds over the past few days, and his anger hasnt subsided.

Youre pretty pissed off, arent you, Pansy?

Youve seen how inhuman these bastards are.

Otto snapped back at Kairos, pulling back the tent flap with a snap.

Lets go kill them all.

*Sshhh.*

Ottos eyes turned purple as he said that.

TL/N:

1. It was supposed to be *Zeeee!* *Zap!* *Zap!* but decided to go with the classic *Pew!* *Pew!*

2. Kairos is fond of calling Otto as Pansy due to his pale white complexion and thin noodle-like arms. Its also a slang for a weak or effeminate man.
