Chapter 449: The First Clue 4
Although it wasn't officially disclosed yet, the information on the classes associated with the ‘Lich' was already known
Many Warlocks had gone through the quests related to the higher-hidden classes And because of it being a Lich King Episode, hidden clues could be found everywhere
The two known hidden classes were the Lich Mage, which Hoonie rejected, and the Lich Knight, a warrior class
Ian already knew about the Lich Knight class
‘Lich Knight? That is a 4th tier knight class…'
As of the moment, no user had advanced to a 4th tier class yet
Even Ian wasn't a 4th tier yet
If hellieot him as a retainer, then he would be a user who has a retainer that has a higher class than the user
That wasn't a bad thing either
However, Ian wanted to check the statusof hellieht away, but he tried not to
In order to check helliem's information, he first had to be made into a retainer
“It has been a long time, helliem”
A bitter smile came on helliem's lips after he heard Ian's voice
“I never thought that I would see you again”
“What's with that?”
“If I had been left as the servant of Chalian, it would've been just a shell that would be left of me”
“That makes sense”
If Ian didn't e to destroy the Dark Sanctuary, then the soul of helliem would've been trapped in there forever
And if hellienize Ian
hellieain,
“Since the tihts, I only lived to serve the Luspel Empire”
“Yes You were faithful to the empire”
“But now… there is no empire”
Ian couldn't respond to hi the sadness on the face of hellie
“All of this couldn't have happened just because of my distrust in God My incompetence is to blame as well I couldn't defend my majesty, and eventually, it turned out like this”
Ian who listened to helliem couldn't help but think
‘Why are you bla yourself? Kailan's story was created to develop like this…'
Ian didn't say those words out loud
Ian's thinking was interrupted when hellieain,
“Please cut my neck off If the Grand Duke of the Luspel would punish h payment for my stupid actions”
Ian then asked after hearing those unexpected words from helliem,
“Price? You want to die in my hands?”
“Yes, Grand Duke For the sin of not being able to defend the empire… wash me aith death”
“…”
“Made an exahts If you take my life, then surely none of them will dare betray the empire”
Thud-!
While kneeling in front of Ian, he banged his head on the ground so hard
Subsequently, the other knights ere behind hiether
Ian and his party couldn't help but feel that the situation became absurd
‘Aren't you overesti yourself a little too much? How can one person alone stop the fall of the whole Empire?'
Ian was flustered at the excessive responsibility that helliem took
At the sah his mind
‘What will happen if I cut him down here? A level 470 myth class… won't that be a salty experience?'
Itabout that
At the hout his body
Woong-!
For the quest to progress, Kailan's AI took over
As helliem approached, Ian or Ian's AI suddenly pulled the sword that was stuck in the waist of helliem
Srrrng-!
A purple glow came out of the white sword
After seeing that, Ian was
‘Yah, crazy AI! You're not really thinking of cutting hiet rid of an S class retainer with my own hands?'
Ian couldn't say those words out loud, and the AI of Ian lifted the sword to the air
‘…!'
All eyes were focused on Ian and helliem, Ian's mouth opened slowly,
“The Great helliem”
hellie Ian's call
“Grand Duke”
The two people began to talk
“Your sins for not being able to defend the erave”
“I know, Grandee”
“You and the Iht for Luspel with your lives on the line”
“That… is”
Ian and helliem'e eyes met
Ian then swung the sword down
Thud-!
The sword fell in front of helliem
Ian's words continued,
“I, Ian, won't bury your sins”
“Grandee…”
“One, I won't ask of you, but your sins won't go away”
Ian picked up the sword that was on the floor and spoke,
“The Legion of Darkness that led the destruction of the e of disloyalty!”
“…!”
“I, Ian of the Lotus Kingdom will take you as my servant”
Thud-!
As soon as Ian's words were finished, the knights kneeling in front of him bowed on one knee
Fro voice came out,
“I will come back, Grand Duke majesty…!”
After seeing that, Ian who didn't have to cut the neck of hellielad
‘Hu, thank God…'
Ian put his hand on the handle of the sword and pointed to the dozens of Ihts in front of him
Ian felt overwheles that he had been waiting for finally came up
