Kieran's body fell to the ground.
A delighted laugh came from Herbert's mouth.
"Hahahaha!
“2567！”
An idiot who was affected by his own bloodline power!
It's too easy to deal with such an idiot! "
Herbert's originally deep voice became sharp and ear-piercing, and his face became even more distorted.
Although he still looked like Herbert, the feeling he gave off was completely different from before. He had the vicious temperament that Herbert didn't have.
Contly, Rayhart, Retsu and the three Mutant Knight looked at Herbert in disbelief.
'Herbert' laughed even more delightfully when he saw the gazes from the crowd.
"Don't tell me you still think I'm Herbert?"
'Herbert' glanced at the people under his control, and his eyes were filled with disdain.
Men in long robes walked out from the shadows of the castle one after another, sizing up the crowd with a cold gaze.
However, they didn't make a move right away.
It seemed like the leader of these men was' Herbert '.
They were waiting for orders.
'Herbert' wasn't in a hurry.
Victory was within his grasp!
He didn't mind enjoying a little more of the thrill of victory!
"How is this possible?
I was the first one to wake up from the coma and you never left my sight … "
The former bounty hunter's words paused.
Contly who questioned 'Herbert' suddenly thought of a possibility.
"That's right, that's right!
It's just like what you think, after you guys fainted from the battle with Edgar, I replaced Herbert. From the moment I was abducted by Carderweld, I have been acting as Herbert. That idiot Carderweld and all of you idiots believed it without a doubt! "
"At first, I thought 2567 would be a problem. After all, the Emperor's bloodline allowed him to easily see through my disguise but who would've thought that idiot Carderweld would be so cooperative, forcing me to drink poison and planting a listening device!"
"Everything will be perfect!"
"Even 2567 didn't notice it. However, I suspect that Sutherlin Castle was still a little 'sober' when he saw me since he overexerted his bloodline power. Plus, when I told him that Sutherlin Castle was the location of the Emperor's Legacy, he was even more bewitched!
'Herbert' couldn't hold back his laughter when he spoke of the delightful part.
"The so-called witches were also a trap set by you?"
Her body couldn't move, but Contly cast a resentful gaze at Herbert.
That was because she thought of the words he had said along the way.
At that time, it seemed that she was purely worried about Kieran.
But now that she thought about it, she realized that he was using her to find out more about Kieran's condition.
"Of course!"
"It's not easy for 2567 to ask me about the old enemy of Neegor Dynasty, if I don't make some arrangements, wouldn't I be letting him down?
"Alright, you know what you want to know. Now … you can die without regrets!"
As' Herbert 'spoke, he raised his hand, and his fingers danced nimbly.
Immediately, the controlled people pointed their weapons at each other.
Everyone looked at the weapon in their opponent's hand in fear. They tried their best to regain control of their bodies, but it was the same as when they attacked Kieran.
He couldn't do it!
"That's why I said that your setup is full of flaws!"
Just as' Herbert 'was about to complete the last step, a sudden voice came from behind him.
The familiar voice shocked 'Herbert'.
But before he could react, a tremendous force struck his waist.
After a series of bone-breaking noises, 'Herbert' fell beside 'Kieran', who was already dead on the ground. Then, 'Herbert' watched 'Kieran', who should have been dead, vanish without a trace. Before 'Kieran' disappeared, 'Kieran' even looked at 'Herbert' with an extremely arrogant gaze.
The disdain in his gaze was so real!
"Y-You …"
Staring at 'Kieran' who vanished before his eyes, 'Herbert' twisted his neck strenuously and looked behind him.
There was another 'Kieran' behind him.
He looked exactly the same as the 'Kieran' who had just disappeared.
Whether it was the appearance or the aura.
The only difference was that 'Kieran's aura was even stronger!
The wicked aura was so real that it distorted the space around him!
Still, it wasn't enough to stop the men in robes from charging forward!
In fact, after 'Herbert' was kicked down by 'Kieran', the men in robes charged towards' Kieran '.
However, at the next moment, their charging steps stopped.
A terrifying monster appeared from the distorted space.
Hundreds and thousands of arms and legs intertwined with each other, clashing madly.
Eyes that were glowing in rainbow colors were born from the point of collision.
Mouths filled with fangs were born from the rainbow-colored light, spinning rapidly.
There was no resistance!
Or in other words, it was unstoppable!
After thousands of scorching rays rained down like a torrential rain, the group of elites vanished from the ground just like that.
The Beast of Desire didn't care what its food was.
"King Beast?!"
'Herbert' groaned in pain.
Since he was familiar with the Neegor Dynasty, when he saw the monster with thousands of eyes, he knew he was finished.
It was an unstoppable power!
However, the doubts in his heart didn't fade away because of the pain from his organs being pierced by the bones.
He was extremely confused!
How could his perfect plan be seen through?
"Why?
How did you know I'm a fake? "
'Herbert' asked in an unresigned tone.
He thought his disguise could fool everyone.
Not only in terms of looks, but also knowledge. Herbert's knowledge was on par with Herbert's, so if he had Herbert's face, he would be Herbert.
He believed so.
However, Kieran didn't have the habit of answering his enemies' questions.
Kieran took a step forward and landed a kick on the man's temple.
Pak!
'Herbert's head exploded like a watermelon.
Contly and the others who had their bodies controlled immediately regained their mobility. Transparent threads as thick as a strand of hair, emanating an orange glow that only Kieran could see, fell off from Contly and the others' bodies.

…
It seemed like this was the thing that controlled Contly and the others' bodies.
Kieran picked it up and put it in his backpack.
Although he couldn't use it, Kieran never minded picking up spoils of war.
Then, ignoring Contly's questioning gaze, Kieran headed deeper into the castle.
The faint thirst from the Creature of Desire told Kieran that there should be something good down there.
However, Contly quickly chased after Kieran.
"When did you realize he was a fake?"
Contly, who used to be a bounty hunter, asked as she followed Kieran.
Kieran replied with a question without even turning his head around.
