Respawn

Chapter 41: The Execution Day

I'm hoping there's another way to end this argument and persuade him. "I believe it is preferable to take our time and make a more informed judgment before attempting to execute Takahashi Fujin. If we discover that he is deserving of this punishment, I pledge to be the one to see that he suffers and pays for all the sins he committed, "I stated. I'm hoping this will persuade him to reconsider his viewpoint. "Nothing will change, and the strategy must be carried out as planned. No one, not even my upper knights, can stop me. I want to see how loyal they are to the monarch and how they demonstrate their devotion to me. My opponent is their enemy, and I am the king. Tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath. If those two still refuse to accept their friend's destiny, they should be banned and killed in order to vanish from this world. Tomorrow there will be a s*******r, so be ready, " he said.

He has no intention of stopping. I've already tried everything I can to persuade him. "But king, our army will be put at risk, and we might easily spark another war if we continue this," I stated accidently. With his raised brows, he looks at me. He's beginning to wonder why I'm so keen on putting an end to his intentions. He asked, "Are you defending a man who is a traitor and an enemy of your one and only king?" I don't want him to think I'm on Takahashi's side. If he discovers that I am attempting to help Takahashi, my life will be compromised as well. "No, I'm not defending that man," I answered, bowing my head, "rather, I'm concerned about the safety of the public and the potential for anarchy if we continue with this execution without investigation."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. We have a hundred knights, as well as a group of upper knights. Legends also exist who are willing to battle. They won't be able to stand and battle against the number of individuals that are willing to fight for me. The general population will not be harmed since those two people will die beside their friend before harming our entire kingdom, "he went on to clarify. There's nothing I can do to persuade him otherwise. I need to leave immediately and come up with another way to save Takahashi. "If you make that decision, I should respect it. May God bless us and protect us in the event of a struggle. I believe that your decision is correct. I hope we won't be sorry for your decision, "I stated.

I exited his room and returned to my room using my pearl. It's been a long and exhausting day. What am I supposed to do now? Takahashi has no desire to flee. The king is adamant about changing his mind or delaying Takahashi's execution. I had no choice but to witness him dying the following day. I don't know what I can do to help him. If there is a war tomorrow, I will be forced to fight his friend, which I do not want to happen. I am confident that if I fight with his friend, I will be victorious. They are still just regular players with limited game experience. Because I am fighting in a genuine war, I am formed differently. I go to sleep and rest. Tomorrow there will be a fight between them and the kingdom.

It was already morning when I woke up. Today is Takahashi's execution date. When I arrived at my dining table, the maid had already started serving the meal. My assistant walked up to me and said, "The king has requested that you and the upper knight arrive at 9 a.m. today. You must construct the virus sword for the king "... The only sword that can make a person die and perish forever in this world is a virus sword. It has been a long time since it was used. Its sole purpose is to ban or kill hackers or any other person who poses a danger to the world. The monarch requires those who are gifted by God, such as upper knights and legends, to perform prayers and chant in order to manufacture the virus sword.

After the upper knights and legends pray and chant, the virus sword will be summoned. It's also thought that hackers have the ability to wield a virus sword, which is terrifying. A myth circulated that a hacker could summon the virus sword without using any chants or spells. They wield the virus sword as if it were their own weapon, carrying it around and materializing it. The virus sword can be summoned by a single hacker. Those are just rumors, and the hackers are currently untraceable. Some people feel the world is already free of hackers and clean. Some claim that hackers are still active, and that they have developed the capacity to conceal their identities and mimic the appearance of a normal person.

 I've finished my breakfast. I can't help but think about what might happen later as I prepare myself. He will be put to death, and I have no choice except to stand by and watch him die. I'm not sure what I'm going to do when I see him kneeling on the ground, begging for his life as his body is covered in blood. I want to protect him and escape with him to keep him safe and prevent his death. I don't have a choice, and I may have to face his friends later. This is most likely God's plan for him, and no one can change it. If it is God's will, then even I, a regular person, should refrain from interfering and simply accept the fate that has been put upon him. Forever, I will be a king's devoted knight.

When I teleport to the castle, the guards assist me by opening the gate. In the castle, there were a lot of people. There are also individuals who could be interested in seeing Takahashi's execution. Takahashi's companions are still missing. I walked into the castle, and we were going to say a prayer to summon the virus sword. This chant and prayer, I suppose, will take an hour to finish. After an hour, the virus sword was summoned. The king is wielding a viral sword and wearing a nasty grin on his face. The sword has a black aura surrounding it and is quite large. "This is the sword that will kill anyone who threatens my throne," he declared.

I wish I could go to his prison and compel him to flee, but I doubt I will be able to do so because he is already being guarded to ensure that he does not attempt to escape. We've also been tasked with protecting the king and fighting in the event of an unexpected conflict. We proceeded to the outside of the castle, where a large crowd had gathered to see this historic execution. The monarch has already arrived and is seated on his throne. Some legends and upper knights are on the side of the monarch, while the upper knights are behind him. Takahashi is dragged to the stage so everybody can have a good look at him while he is being killed. "Do you have anything else to say?" the king inquired.

Takahashi's wound from yesterday hasn't healed yet, so he's still hurt. He hasn't eaten since yesterday, so he's probably starving. He seemed to be completely depleted of strength. The guards dismantled the chain that was around his torso, leaving only the chain bond on his wrist. He is going to die today, and I am still here, doing nothing to help him. "I am completely blameless! I am telling everyone who is here that I am innocent! I hope that my death will serve as a wake-up call to everyone about how unfair our judicial system is! People in positions of power will exploit their power to make others suffer! I, too, am a victim of our king's avarice! ", he yelled. The king appears enraged.

He is attempting to bring the king's wrongdoings to the attention of the public. Before he dies, he wants to give everyone a warning. The king will not spare his life because of what he did. "Is that all you have to say about it? Do you think they will believe you? These people are devoted to the king, unlike you, who pose a threat to the entire realm. Thank you all for coming here to see this execution. I present to you a man who is renowned as the king's adversary. He'll be slain with the virus sword, "he stated. He materialized the virus sword in front of the audience and proudly displayed it. He must be overjoyed that he will finally be able to eliminate his lone threat.

"Do you think we'll let you kill our friend?" asked one of the men. Takahashi's friend has already arrived. The upper knights attempt to protect the king in case he is attacked. Takahashi was guarded by the guards to ensure that they did not take him and flee. He yelled, "Saki, do your job!" The lady took off the entire group of guards in a matter of seconds by utilizing her knife. "We must safeguard the civilians, King! They will be involved in the chaos! " I let out a scream. We're still covering and safeguarding the king. While the lady slaughters the guards and troops, the man tries to approach the king. "Don't you dare come close to me! My upper knights are here and they will punish you," the king warned him.

"Do you think your remarks have scared me?" he asked. The man summoned his sword. Most of our troops have vanished, and they are most likely at the spawn point after a brief death. "You must be silent! Don't squabble any longer! " Aiko remarked. He is someone she is familiar with. How did she know this man? "I beg you, King, to pardon this guy. I understand he is a little naive, but please keep him in consideration. I trust he will grow up and recognize his mistakes! "She begs for protection. A legend like her begs for the life of that man. Who exactly is he? "Don't grovel in front of him. Don't imagine for a second that we won't be able to stop this execution. Don't be so quick to dismiss us! "He yelled. "All legends assault them!" the king exclaimed, becoming even more enraged.

The legends rush up to them and try their hardest to fight them while the top knights look on. Even if there are several legends present, the battle is still close. Three of the legends were killed by the lady, while five were killed by the guy. They're incredible; they're far too powerful. Because Watanabe isn't present, I assume he chose not to fight her daughter. They are stronger than some legends, yet they are still at a disadvantage due to a lack of manpower. There are still many legends left, and I imagine they are tired of fighting. Nathan exclaimed, "I'm so bored of seeing this." Nathan is a high-ranking knight famed for his ice magic. He freezes the lady's and man's hands.

The guard rushes towards them, hoping to take advantage of Nathan's actions. They bind the hands of the lady and the guy to prevent them from interfering with the execution. It is also possible that they will be explicitly banned, depending on the king's decision. Because the king has gone insane, I'm guessing these two will be banned as well. Their bodies are now completely encased in chains. While Takahashi is on stage, they are also kneeling on the ground. They will witness the death of their dear friend. For pure and compassionate souls, this world is too brutal. If they choose to be cowards and uneducated, they are not supposed to be in this predicament. They simply become honest with themselves and choose to be brave and help their friends, despite the fact that this might happen to them.

"The execution is still going on!" Please keep calm because these people are now chained and will not be able to interfere or cause further disruption! Please enjoy the view as I execute this man, but because I'm having a good day today, I'll also kill his friends! "These people are a threat and a pest to our world!" he exclaimed. The people begin cheering for the king, and they appear delighted to discover that three people will be killed at this time. "I'm going to kill Takahashi first so his friend can see him die with the virus sword. I hope that what happened today serves as a warning to everyone not to pose a threat to the king or the world! I swear to keep our world safe, "he added. He points his virus sword at Takahashi. Takahashi simply closes his eyes, as if accepting his fate. His friends were looking at him with teary eyes, pleading with him to keep fighting. He can't perish! He does not deserve to perish! They do not deserve to perish! They are simply a group of innocent people. The king is about to s***h him with his virus sword, but my body reacts quickly and materializes my sword, blocking the king's s***h with my sword to protect Takahashi. "What are you doing, my faithful servant?" he inquired. I simply blocked the virus sword that was about to kill him. I simply protected this man for the king, to whom I pledged my loyalty. Why am I behaving this way toward this man? Why am I putting my life in danger for him? "I believe that more investigation should be conducted before this execution is carried out. My king, please accept my apologies. But if you try to kill this man right now, I'm sorry, but I won't let you, and I'll put my life on the line to save him, "I stated.
