I Became a Level -99 Vicious Lord

‘Shooting yourself in the foot with an axe.’

It was the perfect phrase for the chimera at that moment.

‘Kyaaaahhh! Kyaaaaahhhhhhh!’

The chimera, with its reversed flame, writhed in agony, rolling over and over on the ground with pain.

It was no wonder, as the hot flames were burning its insides from within the throat. If it wasn’t painful, it would have been even stranger.

[Finish it] Kairos advised Otto again.

“Really? Won’t it die anyway?” Otto questioned.

[You fool!] Kairos exclaimed.

“Huh?”

“Oh” Otto understood what Kairos meant.

Performance.

Kairos wanted Otto to appeal to his subordinates’ loyalty and respect by showing them how he bravely defeated the terrifying monster chimera.

As someone who had even been an emperor in his heyday, Kairos knew how to win over his subordinates.

“Come on” Otto reached out and grabbed the club.

Ssshhhh!

Then, the club, which had been deeply lodged in the chimera’s throat, came back towards Otto’s grip.

Otto tried to catch the returning club gracefully, but failed.

“Ackkkk! Damn it Hot hot. So hot!” Otto screamed in pain.

The club was hot from being lodged in the chimera’s throat, and Otto ended up with a burn in his hand from trying to block the chimera’s throat.

[Endure it! This is the mace you called for! Resist with all your might!]

“Aaahhh!”

[Go and finish him off! Quickly!]

Even though his hands were burning, Otto gritted his teeth and approached the Chimera.

‘Rooooaaarrrrr!!!’

And then he swung his club towards the suffering Chimera’s head.

Splat!

It sounded like a watermelon being crushed, as the last remaining lion’s head was buried.

Thud!

And the Chimera fell down.

“O-Our lord… Lord has defeated the Chimera… Our lord has defeated the Chimera!!!”

One soldier shouted.

“Yaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!”

A cry of victory resounded.

[Notification: You have defeated the Chimera!]

Otto smiled as he looked down at the Chimera’s corpse.

[Notification: You have secured the trade route!]

[Notification: Progress has been made in the ‘Build a Dynasty’ quest!]

Thanks to Chimera’s defeat, the progress of the ‘Build a Dynasty’ quest increased.

Now, the area could be turned into a trade route where merchants would come and go, and Otto could collect tolls.

“By the way, I never thought I would be able to defeat a Chimera before my awakening….”

Right then.

BAMM!

“Huh…?”

Otto felt a sudden shock, as if something had hit his head.

Thud!

Immediately afterwards, Otto fell forward in front of Chimera’s corpse.

It wasn’t because he was exhausted.

Behind the fallen Otto, Camille was standing with a poker in his hand.

He had hit him in the back of the head with a poker, fearing that Otto might have been taken over by Kairos.

***

The next day.

“Ugh… my head.”

Otto woke up from a headache that felt like someone had hit his forehead with an axe.

“Are you awake?”

Camille, who was by his side, spoke to Otto.

“Huh? Where am I?”

Otto asked Camille with a bewildered expression.

“This is the bedroom.”

“Why am I here?”

“Do you not remember this time either?”

“No.”

Otto nodded his head.

“My head hurts… Ugh!”

“You defeated the Chimera.”

“I did?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.”

Otto struggled to recall his memory while enduring his headache.

“Oh, right. I did defeat the Chimera.”

“Do you remember a little?”

“For a moment.”

Otto opened his eyes sharply.

“You didn’t hit me on the back of my head again, did you?”

“I did.”

“f**k.”

Otto glared at Camille.

“What’s the point of hitting me when I didn’t even tell you to? Ugh!”

“I did it because I thought that the mace might take away your body.”

“Ugh!” Otto was in pain.

“This time, it wasn’t necessary, though?”

“Is that so?”

“You went too far! Did you do it on purpose?”

“No.”

“What do you mean ‘no’?! You hit me on the back of the head for no reason!”

“Well, yes, but…”

“I wasn’t worried about getting robbed because I was talking to Kairos well and we come to understanding!”

“Is that what happened?”

“Yes!”

“I’m sorry. I was just worried about your safety…”

“I don’t care about your concern.”

Otto looked at Camille.

“You were just thinking, ‘How can I hit this b**tard once right?”

“That’s absolutely not true.”

“Ha! That’s ridiculous.”

“I swear it’s not true.”

“I’ll let it go this time, but if it happens again, I won’t stay quiet. Will you take responsibility if I get dementia from the concussion? Huh?”

“I’ll be careful.”

“How long has it been since I passed out?”

“A day.”

“A day?”

Otto’s eyes widened.

“If it’s been a day… what time is it now?”

“It’s 1 p.m.”

“Let me see… what’s the time now?”

After checking the date and time, Otto jumped out of bed.

“No way!”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“I have to meet a guest!”

“Is someone coming?”

“Yes.”

“If you have an appointment…”

“Screw the appointment!”

Otto quickly changed his clothes.

“By now, the ‘Ego Merchant’ Corps should be passing around here!”

“Um…?”

“We have to make a deal! A deal!”

Otto said that and hurried away.
