Chapter 59 - Spoils of War The evil deity Nyarlathotep crumbled and turned into ashes. The sword I held in my right hand stopped pulsating, announcing the demise of its fated enemy. “...it’s over.” I removed the sword from Nefertina’s chest. Freed from the parasite, the young girl’s body slipped and fell from the throne. I held her in my arms before she touched the ground and looked at the wound. I did my best to avoid piercing her heart and lungs, but even so blood flowed copiously from the…

Chapter 57 - The Queen and the Evil Deity “Is that… what you truly desire…?” (Eh…?) In my hollow heart, an unknown voice resounded. I slowly raised my head, looked left and right, I could only see the clerics. Where could the voice have come from? “Are you going to give up like this…? Cry yourself to sleep…? Do you not wish to…take revenge?” “Revenge…” I just repeated the word, like a child who heard it for the first time. Since Hades had snatched away my feelings, there was no…

Chapter 62 - A Father’s Anger, A Father’s Ache A servant led me to the guest room as soon as I arrived at the Sphinx residence. There, the head of the house, Margrave Vert Sphinx was already waiting. For some reason, the elderly man was flushed red with irritation, impatiently tapping his fingers on the table. As soon as I stepped inside, he spoke up. “You had your fun last night, didn’t you?” “I honestly have no idea what you are talking about…I didn’t have any fun at…

Chapter 60 - Return and A Tearful Sandwich My next course of action was to search the “Undead Capital” for foods and other necessities I would need on the return journey. I could use “Shape of Indra” again to cross the desert quickly, but that would take a serious toll on my lifespan, so I didn’t want to use it unless absolutely necessary. Apparently, the Terror Armies only attacked human beings: the probable descendants of the cattle raised in the city were lazily grazing along the river. I…

Chapter 63 - An Escape Route Called Hell The “Terror Armies” plaguing the ailing western province was neutralized. The defeat of the evil deity and destruction of “Hades” turned all of the undead invaders into sand. House Sphinx was planning to send a scouting platoon to the “Undead Capital”, so eventually the treasures left in the ruins were going to be collected as well. There were going to be more than enough funds to restore House Sphinx to its prime, as well as rebuild the towns and…

Chapter 58 - The Abominable Evil Deity “Enough with the bullshit illusions.” I cut apart the illusion before me and sneered. Thanks to Siegfried’s ability to neutralize magic, the mirage someone was forcing me to watch had vanished. I was back in the room filled with gold. After the disgusting show I was subjected to, I could feel a surge of anger swell up inside me. “...at the very least, now I know who the enemy I have to cut down is. And it’s not the pretty lady over…

Chapter 61 - The Human Head in the Garden As soon as I returned to my residence in Thebes, I dropped on the bed and passed out. The recapture of Fort Giza and the battle against Valon Sphinx. The journey to the “Undead Capital” and the dispatch of the evil deity. Lastly, the 5 day long trip back through the desert. I had somehow pushed to the end, but I was at my absolute limits. Both my body and mind screamed for rest. I slept like a log for one whole day, enjoying the comfort of a bed for the first…

Chapter 48 - Dreaming of Goodbyes 【POV: Naam Sphinx 】 Lord Dyngir has headed to Fort Giza, to drive the “Terror Armies” out of the western province. Since the day of his departure, I have been anxious to the point of barely eating anything. “Naam, you have to eat something.” Mist was sitting on the bed with me, looking worried at me. We were in my room in the Sphinx residence. Ever since Lord Dyngir left, I started shutting myself inside it again, so the maid would bring my meals here. I had…
