Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Novel 2026

## Chapter 894

“I don’t quite understand what you’re saying… Are you saying that I released the prisoners?”

“Don’t play innocent, you bastard! Who else could it be if not you? Only you, me, Gero, and the guards knew the Runcandel were in the lowest prison. And yet, Gero and I are here, and those guards lying out there wouldn’t have released them.”

“Why wouldn’t they? There is nothing absolute in this world. I once had such a complacent thought and ended up losing my position to my son.”

Kelliark said calmly. Ragal took a deep breath, his anger rising as if his organs were twisting inside.

“Huff… I almost killed this bastard. Okay, since the deed is done, there’s nothing we can do about it now. Choose, will you go obediently to the torture chamber, or will you go with a bang?”

“In my opinion, you should go out and personally search for the escaped prisoners with your subordinates. If you really need those prisoners, of course.”

“You’re playing again. If I rush out to look for the prisoners, are you planning to escape this time?”

In response, Kelliark let out a mocking smile.

“Why would I escape? I have sworn allegiance personally to Sir Zito to become a member of the True Demon World. There is no place for me in the human world anymore. So why would I run away? And why would I release the prisoners? My friend, you need to think a little.”

Each word further intensified Ragal’s anger. Ragal struggled to maintain his sanity.

‘No… I can’t… If I kill this guy, there will surely be problems. Sir Zito didn’t entrust this to me without reason. I don’t know what it is, but since this human has a connection to the Witch, Sir Zito had no choice but to accept him. So, I must not kill him. Keep calm, Ragal…!’

Unfortunately, Kelliark had no intention of easing Ragal’s mind.

“Oh, am I afraid? So you thought I was going to run away? Well, Ragal, you don’t seem like a big threat to me. Don’t waste your strength on pointless protests, go out and find the prisoners.”

Tch-! The fragile thread of reason snapped. Ragal stared at Kelliark with murderous eyes.

“Even though I was about to end this with a good beating instead of torture… You have to die now. I’ll deal with the consequences.”

Hiss…!

The moment Ragal finished speaking, a poisonous mist suddenly spread. The poisonous mist instantly filled the entire dungeon, but it didn’t just spread here.

Ragal’s poison had already completely filled the entire territory of the Extreme Poison Zone. The poisonous mist seemed poised to horribly dissolve anyone who wasn’t Ragal’s subordinate.

In several parts of the city, the screams of demons from other territories who had come to the Extreme Poison Zone echoed. Friends, lovers, merchants, even passersby, all faced death.

However, right in front of Ragal, facing the most intense miasma, Kelliark still had a smile on his face.

“Poison… My ancestor, who was considered the strongest, was threatened by this poison. But, unlike my ancestor, I have nothing to protect.”

Kelliark’s staff was enveloped in flames. The poisonous mist swirled and was absorbed by the staff.

“Actually, it’s you who should be in a position to protect now. You have craved the title of Demon King, and you have received the title of ‘Demon’… Then it wouldn’t be good to see how everything turns to ashes overnight, would it?”

Shhhaaaak-!

The flames from the staff exploded, instantly demolishing the dungeon. Ragal was thrown against the wall, and when he opened his eyes again, Kelliark had already broken through the roof and was outside the castle.

Two fire wings extended from his back.

Seeing this, the demons of the city were momentarily confused. It was a time when the artificial sun should be extinguished, but the sky suddenly lit up, causing them to mistake Kelliark for the artificial sun.

However, what filled the entire sky was not the pale, distinctive light of the artificial sun, but a rippling fire of a reddish hue.

Ragal’s poison couldn’t penetrate the heat. With a calm expression, Kelliark looked down at Ragal and all that he possessed.

Then, without even chanting a spell, Kelliark began to use the magic that symbolized him.

Spatial Explosion: magic that detonated everything in sight through pure will.

The first thing to explode was the top of the Poison Demon Castle. Not only the guards, but even the commanders who rushed out met their end without realizing the moment of their death.

With each explosion, someone died or something collapsed. Ragal was momentarily lost in unexpected events, but he quickly regained his senses and released his poison.

“This bastard…! How dare he underestimate this Ragal? Let’s see how long you can keep this up. You will suffer unimaginable pain!”

Ragal spread his wings and rose into the sky. He intended to press the concentrated poison he held in his hands onto Kelliark’s heart.

However, before Ragal could ascend more than a dozen meters, he was caught in a spatial explosion, causing one of his wings to explode.

Although the wing immediately regenerated, the result was the same when he tried to fly again. Instead of reaching Kelliark, he was knocked down as soon as he took off.

Even attempting ranged attacks yielded the same results. Although all the poison in the Extreme Poison Zone was channeled through Ragal’s power, Kelliark’s fire curtain proved even stronger.

“Before the castle collapses completely, you should face reality. Don’t resist too fiercely. Unlike the past, it’s not easy to control my strength.”

As the continuous spatial explosions caused the left side of the fortress to collapse lifelessly, Ragal tried to seize the opportunity to attack. However, by the time he turned his gaze back to the destroyed fortress, the center of the city had already exploded, engulfed in flames.

“Sir Ragal! Please, save us…!”

“Sir Ragal!”

Throughout the fortress, wounded demons screamed. Even the high-ranking commanders sounded as miserable as the common soldiers, and their wounds were not healing.

The fire consumed flesh and bone at a speed that surpassed high-speed regeneration. And Ragal realized that none of the sparks that had stuck to him had extinguished.

Even Ragal’s super-fast regeneration, a power of a Demon King, couldn’t withstand Kelliark’s fire.

‘Even if I’m tired from my battle with Elona… this is incredible. Isn’t it more terrifying than that person…!’

Genesis Knight, or Supreme Demon.

Whether it was called the True Demon World or the Human World, the known limits that mortals can reach are the same. And although Ragal had fought Elona before, he had never felt so overwhelmed as he did now.

“You must be feeling that I am stronger than my ancestor. I don’t know either, Ragal. But one thing is for sure. Without hostages, you wouldn’t have been able to lay a finger on my ancestor. Don’t underestimate Zipple. As far as I know, not even the strongest man in this world underestimated her.”

The cries for help from his subordinates continued. Ragal gathered his strength once more to attack, but all he achieved was having a part of his body shattered by a spatial explosion.

Ragal now had no choice but to redirect even the poison throughout the Extreme Poison Zone to his final struggle.

However, just as Ragal gathered his poison to release it, Kelliark, who had descended to the ground, pierced Ragal’s throat with his staff.

“Compared to that man, you’re nothing more than an insect.”

Thud-!

The staff was driven into the ground like a stake, pinning Ragal’s throat. Ragal knelt with his upper body thrown back in an awkward posture. What he saw was not Kelliark, but the burning Poison Demon Castle behind him.

“Jajaja… ja!”

“Being a demon is quite convenient. Even though your throat has been pierced and pinned to the ground, you can still breathe. How do you like it? Do you want to die like this?”

“Yes… I……!”

“Think carefully. I’m giving you a chance right now. Depending on how you respond, Ragal Fun and the Extreme Poison Zone will disappear from the True Demon World today… or you will enjoy even greater power than before.”

“Ugh, aaah…!”

As Kelliark twisted his staff, Ragal also screamed in agony, writhing in pain like his subordinates. Tears of blood welled up in his eyes, and his whole body trembled from the unbearable pain.

“Well, it seems you can’t speak. As I said before, I’m still struggling to control my strength, which makes it difficult. I’ll give you 10 seconds. If you can keep your eyes open without blinking for 10 seconds, I’ll take it as a sign that you want to live. But if you blink even once, you’ll become a handful of ashes.”

“How can this madman expect me to keep my eyes open when I’m in so much pain?!”

Ragal wanted to scream, but his voice wouldn’t come out. He had to survive for now; he had to endure the 10 seconds no matter what.

Those 10 seconds were undoubtedly the longest 10 seconds of Ragal Fun’s long life.

“Keheeaaak!”

As Kelliark pulled out his staff, Ragal lunged forward, grabbing his throat with both hands. Saliva, blood, and tears poured from every orifice on his face.

“You resisted well. And now, you have adopted a perfect posture to face me in the future.”

Almost instinctively, Ragal knelt, bowing his head and keeping his body low.

Unable to argue or resist, Ragal barely lifted his head to look at Kelliark. The man who had been a confident human stranger entrusted by Zito just moments ago now seemed as fearsome as Zito himself.

“Why are you doing this to me?”

“You’re asking a strange question. I intended to keep quiet, Ragal. I warned you, but you were the one who provoked a fight unnecessarily.”

“From the beginning, you planned it, didn’t you? You’ve broken me, so now you want to take my place and become the owner of the Poison Demon Castle?”

“Would I, who was once the ruler of Zipple, desire a miserable castle in the underworld? Besides, I become a member of the True Demon World, not a demon, so becoming a Demon King would be absurd.”

“Well, your actions right now seem the most absurd…”

“Get up. There probably aren’t many subordinates who have directly witnessed your pitiful state. You should hurry and heal your wounds. Don’t worry about the witnesses, they’ll be dead soon.”

The voices of Ragal’s subordinates begging for their lives grew fainter.

As Kelliark swung his staff, the fire clinging to Ragal’s body began to dissipate. Only after the fire was completely extinguished could Ragal begin to recover.

“For now, let’s consider this battle your victory over me. It would be best to return to the castle and finish the rest of the story.”
