I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

Chapter 49

Really? Well, fine. Nothing is impossible.

Kairos was once an absolute powerhouse who ruled over one-third of the continent with a single mace.

If such a person became an ally, there would be no harm for Otto.

However, only if he could be controlled.

If someone as powerful as Kairos went on a rampage, it would undoubtedly be difficult for Otto to handle.

This was because variables caused by Kairos could ruin their plans.

But you have to follow my orders. Then Ill get you a body.

[What? Are you saying that I have to listen to your commands?]

He belongs to me.

Otto said firmly.

Hes a honey Im going to squeeze. But what if you mess things up in the middle? Then Ill be in danger too. Hes not an easy guy to deal with. If you touch him the wrong way, hell devour me.

[Umm]

Thats why! Promise to wait quietly. Then Ill set the stage for revenge. Ill make it so that you can take revenge just like when you were attacked by Argon.

Can you really promise that? Will you prepare the stage for revenge if I wait?

Ill keep my promise.

[Fine.]

Kairos accepted Ottos proposal.

[Ill obey your commands.]

Are you sure?

[Are you saying I cant even wait until the stage is set for revenge?]

Okay. Then wait. Ill get you a body.

[Understood.]

Otto wanted to get Kairos a body, even if it was just because he was annoyed.

If Kairos had a body, wouldnt he stop whining and begging to be allowed to drink?

But how do we get a body?

[Just give the mace to anyone. I will take care of the rest. We cant capture a powerful person, so it would be appropriate to capture someone who committed a serious crime or prisoners of war.]

Thats true. But wouldnt it be better to have a strong body if possible?

It doesnt matter. The body can be strengthened. Would It that difficult to walk through the path Ive already been through? I believe that I can quickly recover my full power, no matter what kind of body it is.

Oh, really?

Otto smiled sinisterly.

Heh hehehe.

Otto started laughing.

What now?

Camille looked worried as he saw Otto chuckling to himself.

What sinister plot are you brewing now?

A sinister plot? If someone hear you, they might think Im a cunning and wicked person.

Then youre not?

What? Mind your own business! Whether I laugh or not.

Otto glared at Camille and then spoke to Kairos again.

Are you really okay with any body?

[Yes.]

What if its a woman?

[]

Or what if its an old woman?

[A woman?! What nonsense is this! Im a man through and through! How can I be in a womans body?]

Really? Is that gender discrimination? Are you belittling women by saying they are physically weak?

[W-What are you talking about! There were many exceptional female warriors even during My active days.]

However?

[My identity is that of a man! So I refuse a womans body.]

It would be quite entertaining tho

[Shut up.]

From then on, Otto continued to tease Kairos and pass the time.

It was quite amusing to see Kairos flustered and in a state of confusion.

[Even joking about such nonsense.]

But it wasnt a joke.

Kairos soul being trapped in a womans body

It seemed like it would be quite entertaining.

***

Otto, as soon as he returned to the Kingdom of Lota, met with Duke Wazir and told him about what had happened.

What? You were from the Kutachi family lineage? And you were Conrads grandson?

Wazir was surprised to hear Ottos story.

Wazir, who had extensive international connections, was quite friendly with Conrad.

So, what are your plans from now on?

For now, I plan to introduce and teach the mana manipulation techniques I learned from the Kutachi family to our army.

And then?

Ill let you know gradually. Please continue to focus on the internal affairs.

Do I have anything to focus on? I dont even have any tasks. I spend my days fishing.

Hahaha

Wazir, an SSS-ranked hero capable of managing even a massive empire effortlessly.

Strictly speaking

Hes using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Or should we say its a waste of resources?

As the size of the country grew, Wazirs true value would become apparent

But its still quite comfortable. Its good enough.

Otto knew very well how much administrative work there was, even in a small country.

Even though it seemed easy, there were many things to worry about, and taking care of internal affairs would consume a significant amount of time.

In other words, Wazir was an extremely valuable presence who saved Otto precious time, more valuable than money.

Since I dont have to worry about internal affairs, lets focus on increasing military strength for the time being.

After that day, Otto began to introduce the Kutachi familys mana manipulation techniques to the Lota Kingdoms army.

The distribution speed was very fast.

Why? Because the knights, swordsmen, and mages of the Kutachi family that Conrad had assigned to Otto became instructors and directly taught the soldiers.

With advanced personnel teaching relatively easy mana manipulation techniques, the soldiers quickly made progress.

Even the dull soldiers could feel the flow of mana within a week, and within two weeks, they were able to manipulate mana to some extent.

Moreover, the S-ranked hero Spooner created a special training program and trained the soldiers.

As a result:

[Notification: Level 82 reached!]

[Notification: Level 83 reached!]

[Notification: Level 84 reached!]

[Notification: Level 85 reached!]

As they made efforts to enhance the military strength of the Lota Kingdom, experience points poured in, and Ottos level automatically increased.

The main characters were able to gain experience points by exhibiting lord-like behavior even without fighting anyone.

During those busy days

[You brat! When are you going to find me a body!]

Ah, right?

While Otto was busy, Kairos spoke to him as Otto absentmindedly scratched the back of his head as if he had forgotten something.

Sorry. Ive been busy lately, so I forgot.

[Do you have something else to forget? Is your promise to me that insignificant?]

Well, you see I was busy training the soldiers and practicing myself.

[Youre such an annoying guy!]

I apologize, I apologize. Lets go, and get one right away.

[.]

Where is the prison again?

Otto immediately headed to the underground prison located directly beneath the castle.

***

Choo, loyalty! Your Majesty the King!!

The knight, who had been dozing off, perhaps due to excessive drinking the previous night, was startled when Otto appeared and quickly saluted.

Youve worked hard.

Oh, no! But Your Majesty, why are you in such a humble place like this?

I wanted to see some heinous criminals.

To see heinous criminals?

Please show me the prisoners who are facing execution.

Ah, understood.

The knight couldnt understand why such an order was given, but since it was an order, he guided Otto to the area where the prisoners were detained without questioning it.

Lets see.

Otto scanned the prisoners one by one, pointing at them with his finger and mumbling something.

What. Kind. Of. Per. Son. Are. You. Lets. Try. To. Guess.

Then, the last prisoner pointed at flinched! Their body trembled.

Ding, dong, dang, dong.

Taste. Good. If. I. Eat. It. Ill. Eat. It. Again.

[You freak, cant you stop that!!!] Kairos shouted angrily.

[Do you mean choose a body for me to use by doing this?]

Oh~ Come on~ Its fun, isnt it~ I wanted to see them trembling today, thinking they would die~ If you were afraid of dying, you shouldnt have committed a crime~.

[Its not entirely wrong, but.]

Meanwhile, the prisoners, upon hearing Otto mumble to himself, became confused and disoriented.

Damn, hes completely psycho, isnt he?

He really is insane.

Just kill them all! All of them!

Since they didnt know that Otto was having a conversation with Kairos, it sounded like a crazy person mumbling and giggling to himself.

[Since I will personally choose, you can back off.]

As you wish.

Kairos looked through the eyes of Otto and carefully examined the prisoners, choosing one of them.

[This one seems somewhat useful.]

Otto instructed the soldiers to bring out the prisoner chosen by Kairos, then handed him a mace.

Swoosh!

As the mace emitted a powerful energy, Kaiross soul began to engulf the prisoners body.

Accckk ughhhh.

Immediately, the prisoner writhed in agony.

I finds this one thing appealing in this world.

Those who deserve punishment receive punishment.

To Otto, it was interesting to see that even something so obvious which was quite difficult to see in the previous world.

After a while, the prisoner stopped trembling.

Phew

The prisoner, or rather, Kairos, let out a long breath and smiled.

Its over, kid.

Oh?

Its still a bit uncomfortable, but itll get better once I adapt mys

At that moment.

Krrr Keugh!!

Kairos suddenly started to experience excruciating pain.

What! Whats wrong? Why is this happening?

Krrr This body cant handle my soul ugghh.

Huh?

It seems a stronger body is needed

Then, Kairos or rather the prisoners body, dried up like a rotten tree.

[Looks like this wont work. It seems we need a stronger vessel to contain my soul.]

Is that so? Then choose someone else. There are many options.

[Alright.]

Kairos attempted to possess as many as 18 prisoners afterward, but all attempts failed.

Krrr Keugh!!

Ah, ah Ah, Arghhhhh

I-Id rather be killed

The failed possessions left the prisoners completely debilitated, but Otto and Kairos didnt bat an eye.

Since they didnt consider those prisoners as the same Humans to begin with, they had no interest in them.

[Hmm It seems ordinary humans cant handle my noble soul.]

Its not noble at all.

[Huh?!]

Youre just a vile creature trying to take over human bodies.

[You little!!!]

Lets try again later. There must be someone suitable.

[I guess we have no choice.]

In the end, Otto left the underground prison without finding a vessel to contain Kairos soul.

To think that His Majesty would absorb the life force of the prisoners

To use such wicked black magic

Thanks to misunderstanding caused by Otto, unintentionally, he ended up being misunderstood.

From the perspective of an outsider, it seemed like Otto was sucking the life force out of the prisoners and discarding them.

***

Time passed, and the summer turned into autumn.

Otto sparred with Camille on the training ground, where a cool breeze blew.

Clang! Clash!

Their swords clashed relentlessly, intensifying the fierce exchange.

Your Majesty, I have an urgent report. Currently

Kassim, the magic swordsman of the Koutachi Clan, reported to Otto.

Theres a rebellion in the Kingdom of Rochan?

Did you receive the report already, Your Majesty?

Kassim asked, surprised.

This information was very fresh, having just arrived from the border.

No, not yet. I just had a feeling something like that would happen.

Yes?

I have a good intuition. Hehe.

Otto replied vaguely and thought to himself.

Yes, its about time a rebellion would occur.

He had long expected a rebellion to happen in the neighboring Kingdom of Rochan.

If thats the case

Camille.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Well stop the sparring for today and prepare immediately.

Prepare? For what?

Were going to the Kingdom of Rochan.

The neighboring country that bordered their kingdom.

That was Ottos next destination.
