The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated-Chapter 257: Tombstone of the Garibaldi

Chapter 257: Tombstone of the Garibaldi

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …

Earth-shattering roars exploded over and over as one meteor after another continuously fell upon the camp outside the canyon.

As the meteors glowing red from friction fell upon the camp, they shattered the earth and released terrifying shockwaves from their impact, covering the entire area.

Thousands of meteors continuously fell from the sky, streaked through the air, and then exploded out as they impacted the earth, creating crater after crater, covering the land.

With the impacts, waves of dust blown up by the impact blasted forth.

It was a catastrophe.

An unquestionable catastrophe.

Under such a catastrophe, the strength of mere mortals are truly weak and insignificant.

“No!”

“Ah!”

“Save me!”

One knight after anther screamed out within the camp.

One figure after another attempted to run away like scurrying ants.

However, there’s no way that they can escape such a disaster simply on foot.

They were either crushed under the enormous meteors like ants or buried by the shockwaves and dustclouds from the impacts. They were crushed meaninglessly under this catastrophe and lost their most valuable lives pointlessly.

“No…! No…! No…!!!”

Farbin had come out of his tent at some unknown point. While he was running for his life from this disaster, he also screamed out in utter despair at the sight of the knights being constantly killed by the meteors.

He had no idea just what had happened.

Nor did he know why things had turned out this way.

All he knew is that those knights that were being crushed mercilessly by a natural disaster were all valuable human resources that his Garibaldi family had painstakingly raised and recruited.

A point of note. Due to the matter with the Demon Refining ritual, in order to prevent any news from leaking out and getting discovered by the Kingdom, all the knights that Farbin had brought this time were all part of the Garibaldi family’s camp that they had either raised or recruited.

As for those normal knights who were recruited from commoners or knight born from other families, Farbin didn’t dare to bring them along at all, just in case of problems.

In other words, those knights that were continuously dying around him were all forces specifically of the Garibaldi family.

Now thought, they were being utterly unreasonably cut down, continuously being killed by the meteors falling from the sky.

This made Farbin was go insane, dumb, and even cry in pain.

Of course, what truly crushed him is still yet to come.

“Father!”

Before him, Lana, who carried with her the hopes of Farbin and the entire Garibaldi family as a whole, let out a terrified and despairing shout. Then, before Farbin’s very eyes, she was struck by a meteor and completely disappeared beneath the shattered ground.

“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! Save me! Father! Mother! Save me…!”

Raysig was also crying like mad, with his face covered in snot and tears as he ran with all his might within the crowd. However, in the end, he was still smashed apart by a rock from the skies, leaving nothing but a puddle of blood and ground meat.

“Aaaahhhhhhhh…!”

Farbin had completely collapsed. His screams were both regretful and like a demon’s howls.

In that instant, all the ambition and greed had completely vanished from Farbin’s mind.

It was his former unwillingness to accept the situation.

As well as his past obsession.

He doesn’t know just when this had started.

Was it when he heard people around him say [The Garibaldi family is second rate after all. They only have some average leveled knights, but they don’t even have a single true powerhouse] that it had all started?

Or was it when he heard others say [The Arbin and Vladina are the real pillars of the Kingdom. Even without the Garibaldi and the National Knight Order, the Kingdom can still go on without worries with the Royal Knights lead by those two families] that it had all started?

Either way, it’s because of those instances that Farbin would be dissatisfied, unwilling to accept the status quo, and thus formed his obsession.

Why did the Garibaldi family have to always lag behind the Arbin and Vladina?

Why is it that we can only control some second rate knights? Why is it what we control the National Knights, but are only pushed out of the spotlight by the Royal Knights as the Kingdom’s glory?

Was our family’s history shorter than those two families?

Were our family’s merits lacking compared to those two families?

So why couldn’t our family birth a true powerhouse?

Is this the will of the gods?

Do the gods forbid our Garibaldi family from rising?

Then I won’t believe in the gods anymore!

It’s with such thoughts that Farbin had ended up forging a relationship with the Old Demon Faction. In the end, he gained the Demon Lord Spawn and headed down this wrong path.

His deal with the [Original Devil] was quite simple. He will help the [Original Devil] enact their Demon Refining ritual, raise up sacrifices, and perfect their Demon Lord Spawn. The [Original Devil] will then lend him the Demon Lord Spawn to defeat Aldia and his vice captain, the head of the Vladina family.

So long as those two fell, then the Arbin and Vladina families will have lost their pillars.

Next, they just need to remove anyone left in those two families who might be a threat. Then, the Royal Knights will have fallen into the hands of their Garibaldi family.

Then, with control over the two great knight orders of the Kingdom, the Royal Knights and the National Knights, the entire military authority of the Kingdom will all fall to the hands of the Garibaldi family.

Then, the Garibaldi family just needs to marry into the royal family, and there won’t be any in the entire Kingdom who can rival them anymore.

The best case is if they could marry Princess Lucilosti.

If they could marry that princess, then the Kingdom will basically completely be under the Garibaldi family’s control.

That’s why Farbin considered Raysig so important. It was all to have him marry Princess Lucilosti.

For that sake, Farbin had continuously requested the royal family for a marriage.

However, now, all that ambition and obsession have been completely washed away under this beautiful meteor shower.

After this meteor shower, the Garibaldi are basically half destroyed.

Add in the fact that their hopes, Lana and Raysig, have both died under the meteors, the next generation for the Garibaldi family are basically done for.

In that case, what does the Garibaldi have left to fight with for what they want?

Likely, it’s even a question if they, having taken such losses, will be able to continue surviving in the Capitals against their foes, right?

Just as the Garibaldi have their eyes on the Arbin and Vladina, the ones below them also had their own eyes on the Garibaldi.

Thus, never mind rising further, the Garibaldi may even be already done for.

Just as Farbin was in such despair, a sarcastic voice rang out in his mind.

“Goodbye, lord captain. May your entire family be reunited in hell.”

That voice made Farbin snap his eyes wide open.

He recognized that voice.

Thus, he finally understood just why this disaster had appeared.

It’s only because they touched someone that they shouldn’t have.

“Shien!!!”

That wail became Farbin’s final scream.

“Boom!”

An enormous meteor then fell onto Farbin’s position, becoming his tombstone.
