I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord - Chapter 252:

*Crackle!*

*BZZZZZTTT!!!*

Otto was about to turn Camille into an electrocuted squid.

“Y-Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty! Please stop!”

The magic swordsmen, unable to watch any longer, stepped forward.

“Ohoo.”

Kairos blocked the way in front of those who tried to stop Otto.

“It is for a profound reason, so do not interfere.”

 

Kairos said this and then laughed as he looked back at Otto and Camille, who were tangled up like a pair of electric eels.

 

“Kekeke. That little bastard still manages to think of Camille. Kekeke”

“What’s going on over there? Elder?”

Qasim, who had just regained his senses, asked Kairos.

“Can’t you tell? That brat has been giving away mana.”

“What…?”

“Pansy, who was overcharged, is distributing mana to Camille that would have otherwise ended up being wasted.”

“…..!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to redistribute that mana that way rather than just letting it go to waste? And of course….”

Kairos added.

“It must be painful for Camille, the one receiving the mana. Kekeke.”

Kairos’s statement was absolutely accurate.

“Aaaahh! Aaarrggghh!”

Regardless of Camille’s suffering, his mana hole was being filled with mana surging from Otto.

*Whooosh!*

Just like a waterfall pouring down, the total amount of mana was increasing dramatically.

The problem was pain.

“Aaagh!!! Aaaargh!!! Aaaah!!! Aaaaaaaargh!!!”

The pain was so intense that even Camille, known for his strong endurance, couldn’t stop the piercing screams from coming out of his mouth.

It was a terrifying pain, one that would be unbearable even with a clear mind, far surpassing any ordinary torture.

‘My mana is increasing. Gah.’

Amid the pain, Camille felt the mana filling his mana hole and concentrated through clenched teeth.

*BZZZZTTT!* *BZZZZTTT!*

The current pouring out from Otto felt like it was tearing apart his every cell within, but despite it all, Camille did his best to stay conscious.

‘Absorb… I need to absorb it… Ugh!’

Realizing that Otto was generously sharing his mana, there was no way he could lose his concentration.

He had to use all his concentration to properly manage and absorb the mana Otto was sharing into his mana hole.

After about 10 minutes.

*Slump*

Camille finally collapses exhausted.

He had held on and clung on until he finally passed out.

Only then did Otto release Camille.

“Tsk.”

Otto looked down at the unconscious Camille and chuckled.

“You’re so weak, just so weak. With such a weak mental strength, no wonder. These youngsters these days. Tsk Tsk Tsk. What a pity.”

Otto scattered his remaining mana and made a snide, Kairos-esque quip.

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

Those who heard it were so dumbfounded that they were left speechless.

‘What does mental strength have to do with any of this?’

‘If a person can withstand that with mental strength, are they still a human being?’

Only one person.

“His mental strength is weak. Tsk tsk tsk. I thought he was supposed to be strong.”

Only Kairos strongly agreed with Otto.

It was a typical remark of a buffoon who always claimed that mental strength is all-encompassing.

However, contrary to what Otto and Kairos said, Camille was by no means weak in terms of mental strength.

Camille endured a terrifying electric torture for nearly 15 minutes, during which he did his best to remain focused and absorb mana.

Considering that an ordinary person wouldn’t have lasted even a minute, it was not an exaggeration to say that Camille displayed extraordinary mental fortitude.

Moreover, Camille did not have the same physique of a divine body like that of Otto.

“Still, it looks like he absorbed more than 80 percent of it.”

Otto looked down at the unconscious Camille with a somewhat satisfied smile.

When Otto said Camille’s mental strength was weak, he was only joking, and he recognized Camille’s resilience.

“Y-Your Majesty, will Sir Camille be all right?

Qasim approached cautiously and asked.

It was understandable, as Camille’s condition was far from good.

He was bleeding profusely from his nose, mouth, and ears, and his lips were swollen, indicating that he had taken a severe beating.

Additionally, lightning-patterned scars that resembled spider webs were visible all over his skin, making it clear that he had been severely injured by electrocution.

However, Otto did not worry about Camille at all.

“It’s okay, hehe.”

“…..?”

“It is fine, this kind of injury can be treated.”

With that, Otto opened his subspace inventory and pulled out a large glass vial.

“H-Hiek?!”

“Guiic?!”

Qasim and Peng stepped back in surprise when they saw the contents of the glass jar.

Inside the jar was a thick, unpleasant-looking sludge that resembled a kind of gruel.

The mysterious sludge inside the vial was…….

*Plop*

Otto scooped a spoonful of the gruel and held it to the corner of Camille’s mouth.

“Kehe! Kehehehee!”

With eyes gleaming with madness.

When Camille woke up, he was confused and suffered from an identity crisis.

It was infuriating not only that they pretended to be unconscious to set up the electric torture but also that they used the “potion” to heal him.

However, thanks to Otto, the total amount of mana had increased dramatically, so it could also be said that Camille had benefited from it.

They inflicted pain with electric torture.

Giving him mana-enhancing medication.

Otto also gave him a medicine by feeding him ‘that potion’.

Should he be angry.

Or should be thankful.

For Camille, it was neither this nor that.

You’re grateful, right? Where can you find a king like this~ Giving out mana generously~ And healing perfectly~~ If there’s a king like me, tell them to come out~~~~”

Otto laughed hysterically as he danced around Camille.

*Shudder* *Shudder*

Camille trembled with rage, but he couldn’t bring himself to commit an act of high treason.

It was clear that Otto had maliciously played a prank, but the enormous amount of mana he had given was more than enough to warrant endless gratitude.

Moreover, the mana Otto had distributed proved to be an even greater help to Camille than he could have imagined.

‘I feel incredibly stronger.’

He could feel it.

*Crackle*

*Bzzzt!*

Camille could clearly feel that a core of electrical power had been created within his mana hole.

‘This is… mana with properties optimized for my mana manipulation method.’

Camille had mastered a sword technique called .

Originally, it was stored away in the Kuntachi family’s warehouse, but Otto had picked it up and given it to Camille.

The mana management method for the Light Speed Sword had properties similar to electricity, and the mana Otto had given this time also had the same properties.

In other words, the nature of the mana that Otto had given him was perfectly suited to unleashing Camille’s light speed sword.

If this is also a fateful encounter, then it is a fateful one.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Despite his nausea, Camille dropped to one knee in gratitude to Otto.

“Oh Why!!!”

Otto burst out angrily.

“Why are you just saying thank you! Why?!”

“Huh…?”

“You should be swinging your sword first! That’s what makes it fun!”

“….”

“Why aren’t you getting angry! Get angry already! Please!”

Camille was incredulous.

Where in the world would one find a King who intentionally provokes a knight to commit an act of high treason?

“Why aren’t you getting angry! Get angry already! Please!”

Camille was incredulous.

Where in the world would one find a King who intentionally provokes a knight to commit an act of high treason?

Otto pouted his lips in frustration that Camille hadn’t done the deed, that he hadn’t even gotten angry.

“Seriously, you’re such a boring person.”

“Am I some kind of clown? I have no intention of doing so for your amusement.”

“Tsk.”

When Camille didn’t take the bait, Otto gave up on provoking him.

‘Just wait and see. I’ll make you even angrier and force you to do it.’

Otto’s strange obsession with Camille was far from over.

Meanwhile, Bagram and the orcs surrounded the slumped Chawchaw, their eyes shining with curiosity.

Chawchaw is a mythical creature that appears in the legends of the Thunderhoof clan.

It was only natural for the Orcs to be curious, as they had the chance to see a real Chawchaw.

“Chwik.”

Bagram approached Otto and asked.

“What do we do now? Chwik?”

“Just wait until it wakes up.”

“Chwiik?”

“Then it will recognize you as its master and let you ride on its back.”

“Chik! Is that true! Chwik!”

“Yep.”

Otto nodded his head.

“Chawchaw is… Oh? It’s waking up.”

Otto pointed to Chawchaw.

– Huff, Snort.

The groggy Chawchaw struggled to rise.

[Chawchaw]

Hooves that create thunder!

Charge across the land!

– The first Chieftain of the Thunderhoof Clan

Description: The massive wild boar ridden by the First Chieftain of the Thunderhoof Clan.

As an ancient divine beast, it has the ability to summon thunder and lightning.

Category: Holy Relic (Creature)

Rank : ★★★★

Effect:

– It significantly boosts the movement speed, attack speed, and stamina of nearby wild boars, enhancing them with thunder and lightning.

– Squee! Huff!

Rising to his feet, Chawchaw looked straight at Bagram.

*Thud*

Then, Chawchaw lowered its front paw and bowed its head toward Bagram.

As if in submission.

“Chwik?”

Bagram was flustered.

“What are you doing? Get on.”

“I-Is it okay to get on? Chwik?”

“Of course. It’s acknowledging you as its master now. It even bowed down for you, so why not get on?”

“C-Chwik. Got it.”

Bagram carefully climbed onto the back of the Chawchaw, following Otto’s advice.

*Crackle!*

*BZZZT!*

Then an electric current shot out of Chawchaw, and something fell from the sky with an audible thud.

*THUUD!!*

What fell was a gleaming, razor-sharp axe blade, clearly not an ordinary item.

[Astra’s Axe Blade]

An axe that summons lightning!

– The First Chieftain of the Thunderhoof Clan

Description: The axe blade wielded by the First Chieftain of the Thunderhoof Clan.

It contains the power to control lightning, but it’s so powerful that without an appropriate axe handle, the user could be electrocuted.

Category: Holy Relic

Rating: ★★

Effects:

– Lightning Power +700%.

– Lightning Resistance +500

– Continues to grow with the user’s level.

“Here.”

Otto handed Bagram an axe handle made of Ghost Tree wood.

That was why Otto had made the axe handle in advance.

Bagram’s second artifact, [Astra’s Axe Blade], was so powerful that it could not be used without an axe handle made of Ghost Tree wood.

In fact, in the game, if Astra’s Axe Blade was attached on any axe handle other than one made of Ghost Tree wood, Bagram had a 100% chance of being electrocuted.

Astra’s Axe Blade is that dangerous of an item.

However, if it was the [Immortal Axe Handle] crafted by the Dwarves, the story would be different.

Bagram mounted Astra’s Axe Blade onto the Immortal Axe Handle, following Otto’s instructions.

*BBZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTT!!!!*

A tremendous surge of energy erupted, granting Bagram immense power.

“Chik… Chwiiiikk!!!!”

Unknowingly, Bagram raised the Axe of Astra high into the sky.

The result.

*Flash!*

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

A storm of lightning poured down.

– SQUEEEEEE!!!

Chawchaw also roared in response, emitting a surge of electricity.

“Chwiiiiiik!”

“Chik! Chwiiik!”

The Orc warriors cheered for Bagram, who had now become the true Chieftain of the Thunderhoof Clan.

“Tsk.”

Otto looked at Bagram with envy.

He couldn’t help but grumble at the disparity in wealth between them.

“Dammit. Someone’s got two Holy Relics while I don’t have a single one. Damn, this filthy world.”¹

Otto muttered that to himself while unconsciously adjusting his belt.

What Otto’s hand touched was… the Awakening Poker.

TL/N:

1. The Character “Otto de Scuderia” in the game Territory Wars doesn’t have any Holy Relic attached to him compared with the other 99 Lords.
