Chapter 17 Kuron Westia

Running along the ship's corridor, two people, no, three people were chasing each other at high speed, Kuron Westia had cast his body with strengthening magic and accelerated his body like an arrow, but still...

Looking back, Kuron saw the man chasing him at an unbelievable speed, even though Kuron had a Class job as a level 41 Rogue.

How is this possible?!

Kuron had a stiff expression, continuing to walk through the destroyed and burning corridors and rooms, Kuron nimbly turned left and right in the darkness after casting Night Vision magic on himself, he had intentionally passed through the parts of the ship that had been damaged by the intruders to minimize further damage, passing through many corpses and parts of the ship as if hell had just passed through here, Kuron frowned at the unbelievable level of destruction, but that didn't mean he didn't know what he was up against.

He knew that the man was a Terra Humanis from a newly discovered planet who was supposed to be locked up in the cargo deck, however, the problem was the thing in his head, the thing had tried to hide his magical powers but Kuron immediately knew the true identity of the pink slime.

What a hassle, Kuron thought, he had come here to check on the condition of Deck 2 which was not responding to Captain Sentria's orders as the monitoring magic was disrupted, but unexpectedly all the crew on the floor had been wiped in just a few minutes, This is dangerous, he has to tell Captain Sentria that not only was the thing able to escape, but it was also somehow able to get its powers back...

Telepathy magic couldn't be used because of the Jammer inside the ship, however regular signals could still be used, hurriedly activating the communication function on his glasses, his call almost connected before something hit him from behind.

"....?!!!!" thrown forward violently, Kuron quickly spun in the air managing his fall and turning around so as not to show his back to his enemy, gracefully landing on the floor, The first thing Kuron saw was a burst of fire hurled towards him.

Activating the defensive magic stored on his glasses, a rainbow-colored crystal shield appeared in an instant.

"BOOOOMMMMM!!!!"

With a huge explosion his crystal shield collided with the burning embers, ducking while taking cover behind his shield, Kuron groaned because of the outrageous heat, after all this was a spell that he had never seen before.

It was at that moment that the connection was successfully established, albeit stuttering and glitching due to the powerful magic blast that was hitting him.

"Kur-on-on, w-where are you r-r-now?" on his glasses screen, the hologram image of Captain Sentria was reflected intermittently.

Judging from the background, Captain Sentria was inside the ship's cockpit, dripping with sweat and shortness of breath. Kuron spoke "C-captain! Deck 2 has been destroyed! There are no survivors! Arlain Heirseim has escaped!"

Even when seeing Kuron who was bathed in hot light and looked cornered, Sentria kept her emotionless face, but her eyes looked sharp. "E-E-Escaped? H-how c-could that be?"

"I don't know Captain! But there is Terra Humanis with him!!" Kuron spoke interspersed with screams of pain, the heat of the fire had melted his surroundings and Kuron's condition was getting more and more suffocating.

"K-Kuron, can y-you get out o-from there?"

"I-I!" Before he could answer, his crystal shield began to shatter and explode with incredible power, jumping back with all he had, the explosion and crystal fragments still cutting Kuron deep all over his body.

Lying on the floor, burns and blood pouring from Kuron's wounds, for a moment his mind was lost.

"Kuron, Get up from there"

Hearing Sentria's voice that had become clear, Kuron realized his exposed position and hurriedly moved his injured body, but before that.

"I would stay still for a while if I were you" Hearing the flat voice of a man, Kuron stared into the barrel of a laser rifle, stepping on his chest to prevent him from moving, the Terra humanis had stood up before him.

Quickly took the gun from his waist but the Terra Humanis was faster, kicking the gun out of Kuron's grip, the Terra Humanis pressed the rifle to his forehead, staring at the Terra Humanis with hatred from behind his eyes, his connection with Captain Sentria was still connected so she could see what he saw.

"Heh? A hologram?" The Terra Humanis spoke in amusement, reaching out his other hand to touch Captain Sentria's hologram, Kuron was about to shout to stop him before Sentria herself opened her lips "Stop your hand right there Terra Humanis"

"Wow! she talks!" The Terra Humanis spoke happily, causing Kuron to frown at his impudent behavior, unfazed by this however, Sentria was about to speak before something grabbed her attention

"Your Highness, Arlain Felfantaria Duraim Herseim the Great, I am honored to meet you" stood up from her chair, Sentria placed her hand on her chest and gracefully bent her back, her gaze was not directed at the Terra Humanis but at what was attached to his head.

"Oh! Isn't she quite polite!" The pink slime attached to the Terra Humanis' head swayed and spoke, Kuron had heard it but seeing it himself still made him almost unable to believe it, Arlain Felfantaria Duraim Herseim the Great, the head of Duraim Heirseim Archduke, one of the Great Nobles.

An existence he never dreamed of encountering in his life, in an untouchable position, had been transformed into something unrecognizable as a human.

"I can't believe she can remember your name" the Terra Humanist said with a skeptical look, but Sentria kept a straight face, after bowing politely She spoke "Your Highness, why did you run away?"

"Why?" Great Noble Arlain shook his body as if laughing at Sentria's words.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"Did you fools think you could hold me back for so long?" This time his voice changed to anger so much that his magic power leaked out making Koran shiver.

"I will make you feel the unimaginable hell for all of this, you and everyone who has ever put their breath into this" the Great Noble said in a low and cold tone.

However, Sentria was unaffected by his words and simply nodded with such calmness "I understand your feelings, but can I ask you to step down peacefully? I promise I won't do anything to hurt you two"

Kuron couldn't believe his ears, was Captain Sentria planning to just arrest them? Even after all the people they killed?!

"C-Captain!-"

"Don't move, just shut up, your wounds..." seeing Kuron trying to speak, the Terra Humanis pressed the end of the rifle to him once again, several times his eyes glanced towards his wounds that were dripping blood and grimacing, but Kuron didn't even care about his own wounds, he only focused his ears on the conversation between his Captain and The Great Noble.

"Hmph! Step down? Foolish, I've turned half of your ship into ashes And I am about to commit to the other half" The Great Noble spoke arrogantly, but in return a thin smile appeared on Sentria's face "Forgive my rudeness, Your Highness, but we have an agreement with someone not to hurt you, and it would be easier if you surrender now"

"Who is your master little dog?" The Great Noble spoke in an emotionless tone that seemed to chill the room full of fire, even the Terra Humanis who was with him frowned as Kuron realized how dangerous the Great Noble in front of him was even in his current state.

Looking directly into the Great Noble's eyes, Sentria shook her head "I'm sorry, I can't tell you that, Your Highness."

"It seems that Gordoban is not very open with his own daughter" The Great Noble spoke.

"It's truly the highest praise that his name has become so revered in the Empire, even the Great Noble knows him" For the first time Sentria had a real smile on her face, but The Great Noble only replied with disdain "What a bullish words, Gordoban is just a small fry at the fringe of the galaxy"

"yet he managed to defeat you" Sentria sneered with a proud expression before continuing "That's the truth"

The Great Noble didn't answer anything and just stared at Sentria with his ugly eyes, this alone made Kuron laugh in his heart, That his captain could make a Great Noble speechless in an argument.

It turns out that a Great Noble is nothing! Those who were said to be untouchable have fallen!

While Kuron was celebrating in his heart with a sense of victory, the Terra Humanis who had been listening silently all this time spoke "Who is this white girl and why is she so smug?"

Sentria raised her eyebrows at the Terra Humanis' words, but before she could reply, the Terra Humanis spoke first "Did you know your father is a criminal? He kidnapped me and turned Arlain into a cutie, I think your father is a cunt"

His words made the other three people including Kuron look surprised and For the first time, Sentria furrowed her eyebrows ever slightly "Gorodoban Calico is one of the greatest space pirates in the Empire"

"the greatest my ass, we have messed up this ship like maniacs and only his daughter showed up? Even if it wasn't for us catching this guy, you probably wouldn't be talking here, what a bitch your father is"

The Terra Humanis casually spoke, causing Sentria to sharpen her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"You-"

"Fuck off, would you? GreaTesT PiRateS In ThE EmPiRe, Do you know what my job is back on earth? I flip cheap fast food for a salary that barely makes ends meet, and Arlain has been cursed, I mean, he turned into a freaking Slime! and you dare talk shit to us? You and your father are a bitch, that's what you are!"

For the first time, an expression of anger appeared on Sentria's face which even shocked Kuron "You will regret everything you said"

"Why? Because your father will come to beat me up? Call your daddy, call him now! I want to hear his sissy voice!" The Terra Humanis spoke defiantly with a smile, while an amused laugh was heard from the Great Noble in his head.

Feeling the anger boiling in his heart, Kuron was about to speak before the Terra Humanist put the barrel of his rifle in his mouth "You shut up down there, and you, I don't care who you are or your father, I have nothing to lose, so take out everything you have because we will not get out of here on good terms"

Hearing the sharp words of the Terra Humanist, Sentria was seen clenching her fists while her eyes were filled with hatred because of the Terra Humanist's insult "The agreement was not to hurt Lord Heirseim, but there was no agreement about you"

"Come get me you prick"

Hearing the Terra Humanist who was not afraid at all, Sentria spoke, but this time she was talking to Kuron.

"Kuron"

"....!!"

Hearing his name called out, Kuron couldn't answer because of the barrel in his mouth, seeing this, the Terra Humanist pulled out his Rifle to hear what Sentria wanted to say to him.

"Y-yes captain!" Kuron answered hurriedly.

"kill him" With that one word, Kuron's eyes met the Terra Humanist's eyes, somehow Kuron could feel that the Terra Humanis's eyes were like saying "Don't do it"

"Jake, he's going to do something" The Great Noble said.

Then both their gazes shifted to Kuron's gun that was thrown a little far beside him, seeing Kuron's intention, Terra Humanis' foot on his chest became heavier at once, staring at each other, Sentria just waited silently watching Kuron lying on the floor from behind the hologram.

At that time, Kuron remembered his past, he was the son of an official who worked for a noble on a remote planet far from the capital, as an official Kuron's father had a fairly high position under the Lord which made some people jealous, but for some time Kuron's family life was fine, it even could be said perfect.

That was until one day his father was accused of corruption by the Lord himself, Kuron knew his father was an honest and kind person, and of course the evidence given was only fabricated evidence that could be known at a glance, however, the Lord still sentenced his father and his family to death for treason, in the chaos Kuron managed to escape from the planet with the help of a merchant who was an acquaintance of his father.

Not long after that, Kuron received news that his entire extended family from his father and mother were also killed, after that he found out that the Lord was jealous of Kuron's father's popularity on his own planet and decided to humiliate him with a public execution, It turns out that the one who was most jealous was the Lord himself.

Just because of something as trivial as that... all those who had blood relations with him were killed...

From there, Kuron came to hate the Nobles with all his being and in the web of fate he ended up working for the Gordoban pirate gang, As a pirate he had done many bad things, but he justified it and thought this was better than those bastard Nobles ever done every day, as he found out that Gordoban was blackmailing the Nobles and even standing above them, he felt very happy, it turned out that not all nobles were untouchable.

And the existence in front of him was real proof of that....

A Great Noble who was the strongest among the nobles had been turned into such a disgusting creature, this was an eye-opening for him, proof that even the strongest noble could be brought down!

He did not regret becoming a pirate and everything he had done, as long as he could have his revenge...

Kuron's eyes were filled with determination as he reached out his hand trying to grab the gun on the floor.

"Stop it!!" The Terra Humanist shouted, however, this was just a ruse, Kuron quickly activated his crystal magic as a crystal sword appeared in his hand.

"Jake!" The Great Noble shouted, but it was too late, swinging the sword in his hand, Kuron's eyes met the eyes of the Terra Humanist who looked sad and angry, but then his eyes met the eyes of the Great Noble above him and Suddenly his heart was filled with anger.

To avenge his father and mother, his entire family and the people who had been oppressed by the Nobles!

In an instant his sword grew longer as if crystal grains gathered from empty air with blue light shining brightly, with this he would cut the Terra Humanis from top to bottom and kill the Great Noble together on the way, he didn't care about any agreement his Captain have, only his revenge was on his mind.

In the end he would kill a Great Noble, even if he was punished to death later, it was a cheap price, smiling, suddenly Kuron's vision was filled with light.

"FFFRTTR!!"

With the sound of a laser, Kuron's consciousness disappeared forever.
