I’m a Bastard But You’re Worse!

The golden slash engulfed Drake, then crashed through the wall of the cathedral, causing a wide path of destruction on its way out.

It looked like a massive snake had slithered its way out: the stream of destruction also continued outside, breaking through all buildings on its path.

Ghahhaahhaah

Breathing heavily, I stuck my sword on the ground, to prop my body up.

A wave of fatigue washed over me: I barely managed to stay standing without losing consciousness.

The shockwave, capable of cutting through the cathedrals walls as if they were paper, clearly exceeded human capabilities. It was an attack almost irrational in nature, before which the concept of battlefield would crumble.

HahI cant use this in battle, after all. I wouldnt be able to give orders after this

It was the trump card among trump cards, basically. The technique that Drake called Shape of Indra was going to be my last resort.

Anyway

Ghah

Whoa there, dont tell me youre still alive

I left through the hole in the cathedrals walls and followed the path of destruction. After walking for a few dozens of meters, I found a man lying on the ground, charred black.

for the love ofhow the hell can you die? Im getting tired of dealing with you, seriously.

The man was Captain Drake, obviously.

His lower body had been blown off, while the remaining torso was burnt to a black crisp.

The mouth part of the black lump moved slightly, letting out a raspy voice.

Dont youworrythe curse isgoneIm going todiesoon

Well, thats a relief.

Despite my words, I felt a sort of loneliness in my chest.

Now that I was going to part with Drake for good, I realized that I wished for more time.

Let metell you somethingDyngirMaxwell

Still talking, corpse? What do you want?

That swordis made to kill evil gods. The ability to negate magic toolsis just a bonus.

I see. So what?

Drake nodded slightly.

If the sword chose youit might just be thatthere is still someone left to kill

The evil godshumanitys nemesismight be still alivesomewhere

..!!

I frowned.

There was no concrete proof backing Drakes words, but if such a threat to humanity really existed, House Maxwell would be in danger as well.

Hahthis is the endfor mebut your battleshave just startedboy

Really now

So I replied and nodded.

I dont care if its a noble, a king, or an evil godIm going to cut down anyone and anything that stands in the way between me and my ambitions. And Im going to take all the women I want and make them mineeven if a hundred or thousand years pass, thats never gonna change.

Hahahahow fierceas expected ofGraces

Drake closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

Im gladI could die hereI can finally joinyou guys

Drakes body turned gradually whiter and whiter, then crumbled away like a block of salt, disappearing in the wind.

Farewell, Captain Drake. Nouncle.

I closed my eyes for a minute, wishing my strongest enemy yet a peaceful rest.

BOOOM!!

W-What the!?

HEY! Wheres that idiot son of mine!?

M-Mother!?

I heard Graces voice from far away. I hurriedly looked around, and finally found her hanging on the chain that stretched from the seafloor towards the sky.

That attack you did destroyed Atlantis barrier!! The sea water is flooding in, we have to get out of here!!

Haah!? Wait a damn minute!!

I shouted out of shock, but Grace just started climbing up the chain, with the agility of a monkey.

You better hurry up, if you dont want to die!! See you on the ship!!

W-Wait, wait, wait, wait!! I can barely move!!

Gahahaha!! Spare the rod and spoil the child, as they say!!

What!? Damn you, haaaaggg!!!

Grace laughed loudly as she disappeared upwards.

The next instant, the sky cracked, as a torrent of water flowed in the town.

GRAAAAHHH!?

My body was thus swept by the water and forcefully carried out of Atlantis.
