Chapter 23 23 : I'm Sorry, Mother.

To confirm Allen's strangeness, Leofric used his God's blessing twice.

First, he used human language. As a result, Allen fell, but only temporarily after he fell, Allen was able to move again

Second, he used monster language. Supposedly, when Leofric used the monster language, only monsters were affected by the effects of his God's blessing, but apparently, it also affected Allen. Allen fell, but only temporarily after fell, Allen was able to move again.

Based on that, Leofric concluded that Allen probably had two types of mana in his body. First was divine mana, the mana he had as a human, and the second was demonic mana, the mana given to him by the dungeon.

This fact made Leofric happy. Why? It was because Leofric believed he was the first to discover Allen. He always liked to be the first due to the influence of his older brother, who always preceded him.

In addition, Leofric also likes to fight. Fighting with the unknown makes his blood boil. He was regarded as a luminite-ranked dungeon explorer due to his proclivity to oppose new things. In his family, he was the second person to be recognized as a luminite after his first brother, the first prince.

When everyone else in the room could only look petrified at Allen's angry face like a bloodthirsty monster, Leofric was laughing. And that laughter overpowered Allen's intimidating and frightening aura.

Because he saw Leofric, who looked happy and attacked him while smiling, Allen's speed increased. Now he was bouncing from the wall to Leofric faster than before. As a result, the walls Allen used as footholds began crumbling.

During the fight, Heit felt something strange as he clashed with Allen's weapon—the mud that stuck to his arm. To be more precise, he had felt that strange feeling earlier, but after clashing several times with the "sword-like thing" attached to Allen's hand, he realized something.

"Master! I finally know! That kid's weapon..."

"What?"

"That weapon is probably one of my siblings!!!"

Heit was the adfeqtus reliqua lance that given to Leofric after completing the dungeon. Heit's words implied that Allen's weapon was also an adfeqtus reliqua.

"How can he have it? Isn't this dungeon not yet completed?" Leofric asked Heit.

"Sorry, master, I don't understand our origins either. To be sure, before you found me, I'd been waiting for my owner on the last floor, but that doesn't mean I can't walk while still in the dungeon."

"There's no point in thinking about it. It's a pity, but we have to kill that kid to get the weapon."

"AAAAAAAAARRRGH!!!!!" None of Allen's attacks could strike Leofric. Likewise, Leofric, whose battle with the Queen Orc had already exhausted him, had also used his God's blessing three times in a day, plus his right hand was broken and his left eye was also injured. So right now, Leofric's condition is really bad, and even so, Allen doesn't look like he can win at all. All Allen could do was attack Leofric until he was exhausted and unable to move.

*SYUUUT

Suddenly, Allen's shoulder was hit by an arrow. The one who shot him was Maurice.

"Your highness, that's enough of this fooling around. I don't want to stay in this place for long," said Maurice, emotionless.

"Maurice! What are you doing!" shouted Mathias with a worried and angry face.

Leofric glared at Maurice with sharp eyes.

He did it for 5 seconds, then Leofric relaxed his hand.

"Okay okay, I've been so selfish all this time. Just end it."

There were three arrows that he pulled out at once. As he pulled the bowstring, Maurice closed his eyes and mumbled something. His whole body was slightly glowing, and Allen immediately changed his target to Maurice.

Lavinia, who had been unconscious, leaning against the wall with a limp body, started to wake up. And she first saw the rampaging Allen when she opened her eyes. Allen, who was in pain from the arrow in his shoulder, could not think clearly. All he could think about was venting his rage and killing all humans.

That's right...

Allen now looked like...

"Monster," Lavinia said as she looked at Allen's raging face.

For the last time, Leofric once again threw Allen away to give Maurice enough time to activate God's blessing.

The light surrounding Maurice's body converged and entered all three of his arrows. Now the tips of the arrows were glowing. Allen quickly got up and approached Maurice. But Allen wouldn't make it...

*SYUT

The three arrows pierced Allen's shoulders, stomach, and legs.

"Ahk!"

Allen's speed suddenly decreased. Allen could feel, from the arrows he received, something entering his body. The mud that covered his right hand slowly melted and entered his shadow. Allen's body became weaker and weaker. Then, with his remaining strength, Allen walked incontinently to the sprawled corpse of the Queen Orc.

"Mo… mother…"

Allen fell on his stomach, unable to move anymore. Allen maintained his consciousness as much as possible to see the Queen Orc. He was still trying to reach the sprawled corpse of the Queen Orc, but he was too far away, so he couldn't reach it.

"I'm sorry…"

He recalled his last words when he parted with her before, "MOTHER, I HATE YOU!"

those words… repeatedly replayed in his brain. Until the end, he regretted saying it.

Why… Why did I say that?

That's right… It was because of humans.

He regrets everything...

He regrets walking out of that room...

He regrets looking for Lavinia...

He regrets defending Lavinia...

He regrets denying his mother...

Also, he regrets not having the time to apologize to his mother...

Allen fell... his eyes, which were once again filled with tears, closed slowly.
