I Became the Son of a Corrupt Lord, so I’ll Enjoy an Easy Life in Another World ~but Please Stop Revering Me as a “Saint”!~

Stage 3-24. For Eternity, Until This Life Ends

“Impossible… Impossible, impossible, impossible…!”

Pinned to the ground, I couldn’t believe the sight before me.

That brat beat Chris Lagunika?!

No, it wasn’t just that! My ultimate magic, [Brainwash], into which I had poured all my power, was broken…?

The sheer amount of mana needed to control dozens of commoners simultaneously… This amount of mana exceeds even that of Fro-sama.

What in the world is going on here…?

Am I having some kind of terrible nightmare?

“Hmm… It seems the victor in this match is my son.”

“Gordon Vellet…!”

“Normally, I’d drag you straight to prison, but… it seems my sons have something to say to you first. It’s one of the few ways I, as a pitiful man, can atone. Now, get up.”

“Urgh!”

He twisted my arm painfully as he dragged me down the stairs step by step.

Damn it…! If only I still had my mana, this bastard…!

The suffocating killing intent pouring over me froze my thoughts.

…This feeling.

I remember it.

I’ll never forget it—the same aura Fro-sama had on the battlefield…!

This brat is exuding the same overwhelming killing intent…!

“You look like you don’t understand what just happened, Juke Andraus.”

“Eek!?”

My name was spoken in a low, oppressive voice, and I couldn’t stop myself from screaming.

…Ah… I get it now.

My instincts understand…

This brat is like Fro-sama, a man blessed by a god different from mine…!

I immediately bowed, pressing my head to the ground.

“P-please forgive me! I-I only followed Fro-sama’s orders…”

“…Do you truly believe that?”

“Urgh…!”

Before I realized it, the brat grabbed me by the collar and lifted me off the ground.

“G-guh…! I-I can’t breathe…!”

“Oh, can’t you? But the suffering you’ve inflicted is far worse than this.”

His grip tightened gradually, and spots danced in my vision.

P-please… let me breathe…

“If you don’t treat others as human beings, don’t expect to be treated as one yourself.”

Just when I thought I might suffocate, I felt myself being flung through the air.

I realized too late that I’d been thrown upward.

“—Clench your teeth, you piece of trash.”

“Gahhh!”

A searing impact struck my face.

My nose and teeth shattered under the blow, and I was flung against a wall.

“It hurts…! It hurts so much…!”

Why… Why am I being subjected to this cruelty?!

The taste of blood filled my mouth, and broken teeth spilled onto my tongue.

This power… It’s not human…

I tried to defy a god beyond my own…!

I’m going to die… He’s going to kill me here…!

“F-forgive me… P-please forgive me…”

Seeing the figure of the god approaching, I begged with all my might.

Again and again, I bowed my head, squeezing out a voice barely coherent from the pain to plead for mercy.

But the aura of killing intent in front of me didn’t waver in the slightest.

“…Whether or not you’re forgiven… That’s not for me to decide. —It’s for my sword, Alice.”

The sound of a blade being drawn echoed.

At that moment, tears poured from my eyes like a dam had burst.

I’m going to die…! There’s no way I’ll survive this…!

“Look at me.”

“Aguh!”

A kick to my jaw forced my head up.

“…There’s only one thing I want from you.”

A true demon stood before me.

“Guh… Urgh… Blerghhh…”

A wave of pain and terror forced bile from my stomach onto the floor.

My vision blurred.

Just… just end it already… Kill me quickly…

I hate pain… I hate suffering…

It’s all because of him.

If I’d never met him—if I’d never met Fro-sama—I could’ve lived in peace…!

The cold touch of metal grazed my neck.

Even in my scrambled, pain-addled mind, I knew what was coming next.

The cold sensation disappeared, and the blurry silhouette in front of me moved.

My body, knowing what was about to happen, began trembling uncontrollably. Warm liquid trickled down my thighs.

“Repent for your sins in hell.”

As the yellow puddle beneath me grew, I realized my end had come.
