Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

The invincible Shadow Lord has been ambushed...

I don't know if my little brother was pretending to be cute or if he was really too scared to open his eyes.

In short, the Shadow Lord was ambushed...

When that brat heard that I was going to say goodbye to my little Rudy, he fired a rock burst bomb without any warning in my direction!

Ludius!

An absolute powerhouse in the realm of magic!

He casts spells without chanting and possesses no less than 100,000 units of magical power, coupled with his despicable Northern Divine Flow behavior...

Rudius ventured alone into the Shadow King's territory, and with a single move, his Rockburst Shot struck the Shadow King in the abdomen!

but!

What could possibly harm the king?

What could possibly kill the king?

This underhanded move only managed to break through the Shadow King's skin before he could advance any further!

Oh shit......

That brat is really ruthless...

If it weren't for the fact that my body is constantly protected by an unlimited, unyielding barrier, my kidneys would be suffering terribly today...

"Brother? You're not dead? Wait! It's you!?"

The Shadow Lord also possesses formidable power. Can Rudeus escape the encirclement alone based solely on such words?

Or rather, can the king retaliate against this vile sneak attack?

Absolutely!

It's easy!

Alucard flipped Rudius over, pinned him to his lap, and then pulled down his pants!

Immediately afterwards, the Shadow King swung his palm of light and slammed it hard into the brat's buttock armor!

"Ah—! Ah—! Ah—! I was wrong, please forgive me! I'll never do it again!"

The screams were so desperate that they even drew the attention of the adults in the house...

Per opened the window and watched with the others as the king made his move...

Okay...

I got too angry just now...

Family scandals should not be aired in public...

The merciful Shadow Lord helped his brat pull up his pants again, gave him a few symbolic light taps, and that was the end of it.

"Big...Big Brother...? What's going on?"

"It's nothing, I'll explain later. But from now on, you have to style your hair in pigtails, and you have to add '[meow]' to the end of every sentence!"

"Huh? Why...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the Shadow King threw out the birthday gift he had given him.

"What do you think, Third Sister?"

"I...I understand..."

"Anything else?"

"Meow......"

【after a while】

It seems everyone is more interested in Alucard with his green hair than in me...

Even the little brother was mesmerized, staring intently at Alucard's green hair.

not good......

In which year did he travel through time?

Will he meet Enkidu?

But after he spoke in a low voice, Wang felt relieved.

"Green hair is so pretty. If it were a girl, she'd look just like CC. I wonder what Sylvie will be like when she grows up..."

Um......

CC?

She really was my dream girl before...

"Hey, Master... why did he give you his sword?"

Excellent! As expected, there are still people who care about me.

"Yes, I have now been bestowed the title of Sword King by my master, just like you, Aunt."

"...That's really impressive."

"Um......"

"Want to have a match with me?"

"To be honest, I really want to..."

It's been so long since I last fought Gilead. I only remember being instantly killed by a serious Gilead when he got close, but this time it's different.

The title Old Deng bestowed upon me is Sword King. I want to know what I can achieve without revealing my inherent barrier.

[A large open space - Rudius's perspective]

This time, the eldest brother didn't have many fancy tactical arrangements; he simply kept shooting water balloons towards Kyrie Il-sau with one hand.

Meanwhile, Gilead was constantly dodging the incoming water spheres while trying to get closer to his older brother.

"Rudius, what's going on? Why are you only using water balloons? Has that pesky guy gotten weaker? Why is Gilead hiding?"

"No... I think it's because this is just a competition, so they used water balloons instead of more lethal magic. Kyrie Irvine probably meant the same thing... Meow~"

"I see... But your meows are quite amusing. I command you, after that jerk leaves, you must add 'meow' to your speech!"

"......Meow?"

what......

Ha ha......

How disgusting....

But for some reason, I always feel like my older brother has changed?

Is it because it has become stronger again?

After shaking his head, he turned his attention back to the battle.

The older brother was simply using water magic, which he wasn't particularly skilled at, to constantly suppress Kyrielight and prevent him from getting close. If it were his equally proficient rock burst technique, the scene would be quite frightening...

As expected, my fighting spirit has improved significantly. I can only fire one magic spell with one hand at a time, and even if I fire at a rapid rate, there is only one ray axis.

But the eldest brother can simultaneously control multiple firing ports, surrounding Gilead at the same time, and the way he stands there with one hand in his pocket... what a show-off...

But... is it because more rays need to be manipulated that the precision has actually decreased?

Did he stop shooting?

Have you noticed that too?

wrong!

Was a water cannon used this time?

This time, he gathered magic power in his palm with one hand and then shot a water cannon towards Kyrie Irvine. The power was not as great as mine, but it was by no means weak either. It merely swept across the ground, washing away the grass and leaving only dark soil.

but......

That was a terrible move...

The water cannon's rapid-fire capability is very low. It seems that even the eldest brother can only fire one shot at a time. As a result, there is only one beam axis, which will also obstruct the line of sight. With Kyrie Il's speed, as long as he finds an opportunity, he can get close immediately, right?

really!

The eldest brother controlled the water cannon to shine on Kyrie Io like he was shining a laser!

Meanwhile, Kyrie Ian, using his movement to pursue his attacks, charged directly at his brother!

No matter how skilled his brother is with swordsmanship, he's only ten years old, while Kyrie Irvine's muscles are as hard as stone; the difference in their physical abilities is too great...

If they were to fight, Gilead would definitely win...

But for some reason, I still can't be sure about this result...

My brother looked completely indifferent...

This is completely unlike my brother's calculating style in previous battles...

I almost hurt my brother before, but I failed. The later explanation was that Alucard used the protection bestowed upon him by the gods, which is why...

Could it be that my brother also knows that mysterious defensive technique?

And what the hell is Alucard?

Is his father Dracula?

But before they could figure out an answer, the result of their first close-quarters combat exchange was already flashing before their eyes...

A loud clang of metal striking metal, accompanied by a shockwave, reached him.

"Liar... How could Gilead be...?"

Not only was Alice shocked, but I was too...

We couldn't see exactly what happened, but we saw a huge burst of sparks erupt as the two approached each other, which must have been the sparks from clashing swords.

The result was that Kyrie Irvine was sent flying by a single sword strike, while Kyrie Irvine remained casually standing in place. He drew a golden scimitar with his other hand, a slight smirk playing on his lips, before quickly sheathing it...

Honestly, it wasn't just me who was terrified; even the adults around me were...

Judging from the Sword God Style's style of winning with a single strike, you should win, right, bro?

He has already...

Is it that strong?

But for some reason, neither Gilead nor his brother seemed to be stopping. Were they going to continue fighting?

Before I could finish thinking, the two of them started another round of confrontation.

This time, the older brother charged straight at Gilead's face, unleashing a strike from the sky with a single sword swing.

Kyrie Irvine immediately stepped forward and countered with an upward slash, and the two clashed again.

This time the fire was even bigger!

To be honest, he's kind of handsome.

Even though the older brother was shorter, he exuded a stronger aura of dominance, as if he were the one who had the upper hand in this contest.

wrong!

It's definitely the older brother who has the upper hand!

Kyrie I was forced backward by the pressure.

What's the principle behind it?

Is it because the eldest brother is above?

The two sides were locked in a stalemate for only a short while before the elder brother once again swung his sword and knocked Gilead away!

Then, with his other hand, he started shooting with magic!

It's still a water cannon!

But this time, Gilead was suppressed even more severely!

During the retreat to create distance, the older brother fired several shots in quick succession!

Before he could adjust his condition, Kyrie Io only managed to dodge the first few water cannon shots before being hit in the arm by the third one! The impact sent him spinning around before he was out of range of the attack!

Gilead, having barely managed to readjust her stance, hadn't given up. She continued trying to create some distance and then circle around her brother looking for an opportunity! But her left hand looked broken.

Kyrie Iain must have realized that there was no way to avoid it, so he used his non-dominant hand to defend himself.

If the injury is to the dominant hand or the leg, the chances of winning are even slimmer!

Surely not?

It was just a competition?

Even Alice, who trusted Gilead the most, covered her mouth and didn't shout, probably afraid of disturbing Gilead...

But why did the guy suddenly fly up from the spot?

He actually flew up like that?

But did he not fly close to Gilead because he wasn't fast enough?

He simply increased his altitude and fired at Gilead in mid-air!

Previously on the ground, a large amount of water magic was turned into stray bullets and shot into the distance because it was parallel to the ground.

Now that the elder brother has the advantage of height, his water magic will directly hit the ground, creating something like an impact. This impact constantly interferes with Kyrie Il's running on the ground using the instinctive quadrupedal momentum of an orc!

The once beautiful lawn was bombed into a complete mess!

Meanwhile, Kyrie I was in a sorry state, constantly dodging left and right to avoid the attacks from the sky!

The guy's mouth is crooked, making him look like a villain...

Is it really that bad?

It's just a competition?

And why did he suddenly fly?

Long-range is a clear disadvantage for Gilead, and Gilead also has an air advantage. If this continues, Gilead will definitely lose.

But close combat...

Finally! The pursued Gilead found cover—a tower. Gilead hid behind it for the time being. Did the guy stop because he didn't want to damage the building?

But before I could think any further, Gilead suddenly unleashed his speed again, instantly reaching the top of the tower and leaping high to slash at my brother!

I see. If it were in the air, the guy wouldn't be able to use the ground for leverage. With the greater height and speed, Kyrie Irving might...

In this match, the older brother won again...

Gilead's attack seemed to work at first, briefly suppressing his brother after the two collided in mid-air. However, this level of advantage did not bring victory, and Gilead was immediately put at a complete disadvantage because he could not fly.

Kyrie Io only had time to parry with his sword before his brother slammed him into the ground...

Kyrie Irvine did not try again...

This time, my brother completely won...

but......

Something feels off there...

Alice, with tears in her eyes, grabbed me and insisted that I go and treat Gilead's wounds...

But by the time we arrived, my brother had already healed Gilead's wounds...

Alice was yelling at her brother, but for some reason both Kyrie and her brother remained silent.

"sorry......"

The older brother apologized first.

"...What happened?"

"What happened?"

Why are you unhappy?

"..."

[Trevor's Perspective]

The outcome of their first close-quarters encounter was already decided.

In fact, I even deliberately created that flaw...

But I don't know why...

But I'm still not satisfied...

Gilead must have sensed something, which is why he continued to fight me...

I did indeed feel joy at that moment...

So we went a little overboard...

As a result, I hurt the person who cared about me the most in the group...

Master clearly reminded me...

"You're already very strong, aren't you? Stronger than me... When my master first crowned me Sword King, I was overjoyed and challenged people everywhere... But you're already stronger than me, and you even have Master's sword. Why do you always look so unhappy?"

"Thank you... I'm just... it's nothing... thank you, Kyrie Irvine..."

I am indeed very strong...

Honestly, he was practically invincible, but then an enemy appeared out of nowhere...

But my strength... is still not enough...

My power was insufficient to protect everyone; it was only used for destruction. And because of my own foolishness, I even harmed Gilead...

I'm so scared...

I am already very strong, but if I fail to protect those I want to protect, then that is my fault.

Because right now, I am the strongest in the world...

The strong always bear more responsibility...

"Dude, you... finally stopped being the 'Prince of Idiots'... and started being the 'Prince of Melancholy'?"

The Shadow Lord's death ray was aimed at that brat!

"...Meow~~"

Oh shit......

The atmosphere I'd just built up was ruined by that brat, but actually, I don't really like overly oppressive atmospheres either...

Let's just make a joke and get it over with...

Wang flicked his hair with one hand, resuming his melancholy expression.

"That's right, I've grown up and gone to a big city and a magic university. Now, chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is no longer popular; melancholy is, especially for someone like me."

At the time, I was dressed entirely in black, with that melancholy expression and a lollipop in my mouth, which was absolutely irresistible to young girls. So don't worry, this is just my new style.

Kyrie Irvine looked incredulous...

"real?"

"......real."
