Chapter 75

Before long, some visitors came to see Kane.

Fabi, the vice commander of the Guardian knights, quickly ran out from the front gate.

"Well, look who it is! Isn't it my dear friend Joseph!"

Fabi hugged the rough and fierce-looking man tightly.

"I've been trying to reach you for so long, and now you finally show up."

Fabi spoke rapidly, not giving him a chance to respond.

"I'm not here to see you, so back off a bit."

"Wow. You’ve become even more shy."

Fabi stepped back from Joseph, feeling smug.

Then he whispered quietly into Joseph's ear.

"Are you really here to meet Lord Kane?"

"Yes."

"Are you thinking of returning to the family?"

Joseph didn’t respond to his question.

Fabi’s eyes widened in surprise.

"It's true, then."

"Just take me to the lord."

"Who are the people behind you?"

"They’re here for the same reason, so stop talking already!"

The usually serious Joseph suddenly shouted.

Fabi smiled broadly at this sight.

"Look at you, trying so hard to keep your composure. Let’s see how long that act lasts."

Joseph barely managed to suppress his anger.

Fabi continued to chatter beside him all the way to Kane’s mansion.

Joseph only gave brief responses, letting most of Fabi’s words pass by.

Before long, they reached the mansion of the lord.

Joseph flinched as he sensed the mana emanating from a second-floor window.

"Is the lord a user of black magic?"

Fabi shook his head at his question.

"Commander Cedric says it's not black magic."

"Then what is that unpleasant energy?"

"You could say that mana is the atmosphere surrounding Young master Kane."

"I need to see it up close."

Fabi and Joseph stood in front of the door on the second floor.

“Young Master, you have visitors."

-Let them in.

Kane's voice was heard from inside.

And when the door was opened...

Whoosh!

A gust of mana blew out through the open door.

Kane, wearing a small magnifying glass, was carving a magic stone with a small knife.

"Welcome, Sir Joseph. It's good to have you back in the family."

Kane continued to work with his hands, with mana surging out each time.

It was a fascinating sight—waves of mana shifting into flickering flames.

"Ah, just a moment. I'm almost done."

Kane finished crafting the gem.

"Phew."

The storm-like mana vanished into Kane's body as if it had never been there.

"You've been waiting a while, haven't you? Please, everyone, take a seat."

Following his direction, everyone sat on the sofa—except for Fabi, who remained standing awkwardly.

"Sir Fabi, what are you doing there? Go and attend to your duties."

"Well, I'm currently free, so I thought I'd stay here…."

"It seems the family has no tasks for you. Perhaps I should talk to Sir Cedric about finding you some work."

"Now that I think about it, the family's defenses have become quite lax recently. I'll head back immediately to reorganize."

Fabi quickly closed the door and left.

It seemed Kane had seen right through Joseph's thoughts and offered comfort.

"I imagine the journey here was quite hectic."

"That guy hasn't changed at all in 20 years."

"Have you not been in touch during that time?"

Joseph nodded in response to Kane's question.

"I've been busy living my life."

"Searching for your enemy, I presume?"

"...Did His Grace tell you?"

"There were many unsatisfactory circumstances surrounding the death of the Knight Commander. It’s reasonable to suspect an internal traitor or a third party other than Hatzfeld was involved."

Kane’s words were precise.

Joseph's goal was to avenge his parents.

He had considered whether to stay with the family to exact his revenge or to leave and pursue his enemy in secret.

Ultimately, he chose the latter.

Kane pointed to the people beside Joseph and continued.

"Moreover, these people are all families of the victims of that incident, aren't they?"

Special Forces Instructor Nesily Schenberg

Continent History Instructor Elias Seager.

Their mothers were also part of the Guardian Knights.

"You seem to know a lot about us. Do you also know why we've come to see you?"

"I will help you achieve your revenge."

"Hatzfeld can't be taken down by the current Rehinar."

"With your assistance, it’s more than possible."

Kane spoke with confidence, far from being the timid person he once was.

"Soon, Count Dyer will attack Rehinar. If you don’t believe me, watch how I handle Dyer. You can decide what to do after that."

Joseph nodded at Kane’s proposal.

"I'll stay in Rehinar for the time being."

[Joseph Groll's favorability has increased by +1.]

[Joseph Groll's favorability has increased by +1.]

[Elias Seager's favorability has increased by +1.]

……

……

……

[Nesily Schenberg's favorability has increased by +1.]

The threshold for recruitment was almost reached.

In fact, it was enough to persuade them as things stood, but...

‘I might as well aim for double rewards to gather even more talent.’

Quickly increasing the favorability of characters acquired through gatcha grants rewards.

Using Dyer as a sacrifice, Kane needed to gather the people for free.

Then the recruitment of instructors for Rehinar Military Academy would be complete.

From then on, the academy could be properly run.

* * *

After meeting with Joseph, Kane quickly moved towards the forge.

Today marked exactly one week since his promise to Mikhail.

For some reason, the usual hammering sounds from the blacksmith were absent today.

"Is it finished?"

His heart pounded with excitement.

He never doubted Mikhail would succeed in the crafting.

The only question driving him mad with curiosity was whether it would be a 4-star weapon or a 5-star weapon.

Kane entered the blacksmith shop immediately.

He was greeted by Mikhail, who was meticulously inspecting a red sword.

"Did it succeed?"

"It seems so," Mikhail responded calmly.

"But... there's a problem."

"What is it?"

"Though I crafted it, I can't appraise it. It seems to be because of the Bloodstar."

Only the original owner can appraise the bloodstone.

Even the greatest blacksmiths or appraisers on the continent cannot access its information.

"Let me check it."

Kane took the sword from Mikhail.

[The Bloodstone embedded in the Bloodsky Blade returns to its original owner.]

The power within the sword flowed through the hilt and into Kane. At the same time, a message appeared.

[Displaying information for Bloodsky Blade.]

---

---

"H-Holy Shit!" Kane couldn't help but curse upon seeing the information.

"What's wrong?" Mikhail asked.

"The perks are insane!"

The stack limit was infinite. This meant that as long as he wielded the Bloodsky Blade, he could easily overpower opponents much stronger than himself. But that wasn’t all.

"I've never seen a 6-star magic sword before."

Until now, Kane thought the highest grade for an ultimate item was 5 stars. But here was a 6-star weapon. The astonishment was so great that even the message reacted similarly.

---

[The world is stunned by an unprecedented event.]

[You have earned the title ‘Human Who Astonished the Gods.’]

[You are awarded 1 billion gold.]

---

But that wasn't the end.

And using the best material, the Bloodstar, he had awakened instantly.

'The first 5-star character!'

In his past life, this guy had been his right-hand man and was the fastest to ascend to 5 stars. His abilities were top-tier for a 5-class, but overall, he surpassed the 6-class threshold.

'It's time to outfit our soldiers with the weapons and armor this guy makes.'

Kane asked Mikhail, "Do you still have the strength to fight?"

"What do you mean?" Mikhail responded.

"Dyer is attacking."

"I'll join you."

Kane, along with Mikhail, moved towards the eastern castle gate at the back of the estate.

* * *

The two stood atop the eastern gate, Kane and Mikhail feeling the wind blowing.

"A strong killing intent is riding on the wind," Mikhail observed.

"How many do you think?" Kane asked.

"Probably well over a few thousand," Mikhail estimated.

"Even after killing so many, their numbers are still large," Kane remarked, his face remaining calm despite the approaching enemy.

"You don't seem worried," Mikhail noted.

"With you here, what is there to fear?" Kane replied.

"I'll do my best to hold them off, but don't expect miracles. Some will get past me and through the gate," Mikhail cautioned.

"I'll take care of those," Kane assured him.

Moments later, Camilla came rushing over, waving a piece of paper.

"Your Grace, urgent news from the Black Crow Exchange!" she shouted.

---

[Count Dyer is marching on Rehinar.]

---

The message was brief, but the Black Crow's choice was clear. Shortly after, Joseph and his group arrived.

Joseph addressed Kane, asking about their next move. "What is your plan?"

"We kill them when they arrive," Kane answered.

"Is that all? Count Dyer might use tactics to attack not just the east gate but the north and south gates as well," Joseph pointed out, seeking a strategic response.

"Do you think that arrogant Dyer would use tactics against a fallen Rehinar? He will try to force his way through this east gate with sheer power," Kane responded confidently.

Kane was certain that Count Dyer would choose the most brutal method to subdue his opponent. Above all, Dyer had too much faith in the disparity between their forces.

'The reason he's chosen war so easily is that he knows Duke Carl is ill. He believes that the 200 knights of the Guarding Knight Order cannot stop his thousands of troops,' Kane reasoned.

This was the simple reason Dyer chose a frontal assault.

'But that will be their mistake,' Kane thought, looking down at the sword on his side.

The Bloodsky Blade was specialized for mass slaughter, granting its user limitless power. Even as Ray Hatzfeld, he hadn't fully experienced this weapon's potential. As Kane Rehinar, he now felt the excitement of wielding such a powerful tool for the first time.

"They've finally arrived," Kane said, noting the movement in the distance.

"I will go ahead," Mikhail announced, taking up his spear and stepping through the gate.

Joseph's eyes widened slightly as he watched Mikhail. He was about to offer advice to Kane when suddenly—

---

Whoosh!

---

The air surged violently as if acknowledging the impending conflict.

A huge pressure engulfed the surroundings.

Thousands of troops finally revealed themselves.

Blata grinned menacingly

He shouted in a loud voice, feeling good.

“Kill them all!”
