King Slayer

The Mado Era where magicians dominated and knights died.

The man was a genuine knight.

He was able to reach the pinnacle of his swordsmanship by honing it through his own experience.

While everyone got on tanks to participate in the battlefield, the man trusted in only his sword and slashed at necks of his enemies.

The last Imperial Knight of the empire.

Not even the magicians who could use supernatural powers were his match.

He surpassed human limits and had finally grasped the pinnacle of power a human could possess.

Then, the emperor drove him towards a dangerous battlefield.

-Usborne Battle? The extermination of the gold dragon, Alexia? He completed them all by himself.

-He’s not human. How can a human perform all these things by himself?

People joked about him.

That he wasn’t a human. However, those words weren’t a joke to a few people.

They felt their lives could be at risk and excluded the man they were also jealous of.

Nonetheless, the man stood firm and completed his role but… countless misunderstandings and feelings of jealousy resulted in a catastrophe.

The man wasn’t a nuisance only to the emperor. All the kings in the world wanted him dead.

High-rank magicians were gathered and huge tanks surrounded him.

– Majesty! Why would you start something like this?

– You are too strong. Too dangerous. To accomplish great deeds with the strength of a human. In all honesty, I never thought you to could complete them.

– Are you saying you truly don’t believe in my loyalty?

– If you truly want to be loyal, kill yourself here.

The man wailed loudly. He continuously partook in battles that were deemed impossible and brought back victory even while injuring himself.

All because they were orders of the emperor. However, this wasn’t right. His malice, their dark emotions, contaminated the man.

– …All right. If you want me to become a devil, then I will gladly do it.

That moment, the man shed himself of his human nature. Evil, he became evil itself and assassinated all the kings who took part in trying to kill him.

Afterwards, he wanted to make the world free from ostracism but everyone became filled with delusions and suspicions.

People could no longer trust each other and were walking towards destruction.

In the end, when the world was on the brink of ruin, the man walked the wastelands alone.

The man was tired.

– I have failed.

Then he slowly lifted his head and looked at Muyoung.

He is one of the Masters of Darkness.
