Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

Yuris couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you kidding me? I'm a nobleman! Your son is just a commoner who killed my brother! I'm already being merciful by not destroying your family! In the end, if I hadn't been so compassionate, you wouldn't even be worthy of talking to me on the same level!"

Rudius laughed too, "That's right, we really shouldn't be talking from the same level, since that's the case..."

"Look up to them, nobles."

As he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

A terrifying gravity descended from the sky, enveloping Eurythm and Edwin.

Without even a moment's resistance, the two were crushed to the ground by the terrifying gravity, their expressions filled with horror.

The two of them stuck out their tongues, stared wide-eyed, and lay on the ground.

They looked like two dead dogs.

Side Story: The Tale of Ars (26)

Gravity magic is Rudeus's signature skill.

After years of training, he has now reached the point where he can easily launch a precise attack with a snap of his fingers. However, he is somewhat ineffective against enemies of Emperor level or above and can only play a supporting role.

But for ordinary people, it's like a dimensional reduction attack.

"Ride, Knights!"

Yuri, pinned to the ground, stared wide-eyed in terror, stammering, "Where are the Knights! Hey, can't you see? This lowly commoner dares to attack us nobles! Are you all blind?!"

"..."

The knights outside the door ignored this.

the reason is simple.

When Rudius arrived, he presented something that was sufficient to prove his identity.

Rudeus, the god of thunder.

In fact, few people know that this third-ranked power among the seven great powers has an exceptionally deep friendship with Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Asura.

and so……

Although the Rudeus family is not noble, it would be a big mistake to judge them by common sense.

Rudius stepped on Yuris's head.

"Guess what would happen if I just stomped on your head and smashed it?"

"You...you absolutely wouldn't dare to do that..."

"Then why not give it a try?"

Rudius's movements continued without pause, and the force applied to his feet grew heavier and heavier.

Yuris felt as if his head was about to explode, and the look of terror in his eyes grew stronger.

It was only then that he realized that the man in front of him could really kill him!

Seeing this, Edwin quickly said, "Wait, no—"

Before he could finish speaking, Rudius suddenly stopped what he was doing.

Edwin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he was about to speak, he realized that Rudius's gaze was not on him at all, but was looking behind him.

To be precise, it's outside the door.

"Mr. Rudius."

A sweet voice came from outside the door. The voice was so clear and melodious that just hearing it could make you eat three bowls of rice; it was almost intoxicating.

Edwin swallowed hard and turned his head shakily to look behind him.

then……

He seemed to see an angel.

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Rudius.”

A beautiful woman with long golden hair and wearing an elegant long dress appeared at the door.

Not an angel, but Her Majesty the Queen.

"Your Majesty Ariel, it has indeed been a long time."

Rudius calmly gazed at the beautiful figure before him.

It has indeed been a long time since we last met.

In the past, they would usually come to visit once a month.

But after the unpleasant incident caused by Sylphie last time, Rudeus hasn't been coming very often.

That being said, nominally the two sides still have an exceptionally deep friendship and a cooperative relationship.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, help us! This man is trying to kill us!"

Eurythm and Edwin scrambled to Ariel's feet and knelt at her feet, calling for help.

Now, their only hope lies with Ariel, who is right in front of them.

Rudius did not stop her, but simply looked at Ariel coldly.

"Oh dear, why are you looking at me like that? It's like I'm some kind of man-eating monster," Ariel said with a smile.

"Who knows."

Rudius remained indifferent.

Was that acting or just his true nature? Rudius wasn't sure.

In short, to avoid doing anything that would betray his wife, Rudeus decided to adopt a cold attitude towards Ariel.

And at the same time.

Liz, who was being helped to her feet by Ars, was completely stunned.

Who is that?

Her Majesty Queen Ariel?

Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Asura, appearing in a place like this... Liz suspected she was dreaming, otherwise she couldn't explain what was happening before her eyes.

"Your Majesty Ariel, you're not here to plead for them, are you?" Rudeus tilted his head and said.

"No, how could it be?"

Ariel glanced down at the two nobles kneeling at her feet and smiled, "I already know what happened. As for the cause and effect of this matter... I think that's not important. What's important is that Mr. Rudius wants to know my opinion, doesn't he?"

Rudius remained noncommittal.

"Then, how about sentencing these two to death, stripping their families of their noble titles, and reducing them to commoners and slaves...?"

Alice smiled as she uttered chilling words.

Edwin and Euryth, who were crawling at his feet, were stunned upon hearing this.

They thought that Ariel's arrival had finally brought a turning point.

But Ariel's words only put them in an even more irreparable situation.

Now, all Rudius has to do is nod.

They and their families will be doomed forever.

"..."

The scene fell silent for a while.

Alice stood firmly behind Rudeus with her arms crossed over her chest.

Ars helped Liz stand at the back.

Ariel smiled and awaited Rudius's decision.

"...Those who hurt family members must pay the price, but that being said, I don't want my son to become someone people fear."

Rudius finally spoke.

"So, let's settle this with an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

As Rudius spoke, he turned and glanced at Jars.

"Yars, fight back."

"Huh?" Jars was taken aback.

“Hit back the way that guy did to you,” Rudius said.

This time, Ars understood Rudius's meaning, so he walked up to Yuris without hesitation and, under the latter's shocked and angry gaze, landed his fists and feet hard on Yuris's face.

Soon, Yuris's face swelled up like a pig's head.

But he dared not say anything, while Edwin, standing beside him, desperately tried to signal to him with his eyes that he should never resist under any circumstances.

They could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger under Yars's attacks.

……

……

The ending was very dramatic.

After being beaten, Yurius and Edwin did not express any resentment and promised never to appear in front of Rudius and his family again, which allowed them to leave alive.

Rudius expressed his satisfaction at the end and said that he would visit again with Sylphie next time.

Ariel smiled throughout.

And that was the end of the matter.

In the end, the Laurist family lost a nominal heir to the title and received 500,000 gold coins.

Ars was taken away by Rudeus, and Liz was also invited to go to the mansion in the capital.
