Swordmaster’s Youngest Son Novel 2026

## Chapter 900

“Visepps’ alliance with the Runcandels has become almost certain,” said Kelliark Zipple as he entered Ragal’s office in the Venomous Demon Castle.

He had just returned from a meeting with Myu, who had recently arrived from the True Demon World and provided a report on Anne.

“Almost certain… It feels a bit unsatisfactory considering the information we’ve gathered from losing Siker,” Ragal replied.

“Anne died once. However, the time it took for her to lose her body was too short, so it’s likely that it wasn’t the White Whale, but someone else who did it. If it had been the White Whale, she wouldn’t have been able to deal with Anne, who seemed so miserable, in one blow.”

“I see. Is that the opinion of your people?”

Your people.

Ragal hadn’t met Joshua and the other ‘Ganestos’ yet. Of course, he had tortured them when they were prisoners, but since they woke up and went to Lokia’s world, Kelliark had been the only one who had had contact with the Ganesto.

“Yes, that’s right. They know the White Whale very well, so their words should be correct. Even when I think about the White Whale I experienced in the past, it couldn’t be possible.”

“The White Whale followed Cyron Runcandel to the Black Sea. Is there a possibility that she transformed into a monster there and became a heartless human, devoid of blood and tears?”

“If that were the case, Cyron wouldn’t have allowed the White Whale to return. Also, so far, there has been no information reported about the White Whale’s behavior in the True Demon World. It’s almost certain, and I think it’s fine to consider the cooperation of Visepps and the Runcandels as secure, Ragal.”

“Well, that’s a relief. Siker, he was still a decent guy.”

Kelliark sat down and opened a magical tome.

Ragal looked at him subtly and cleared his throat.

“Ahem! By the way, friend Kelliark, how about the people you just met? Shouldn’t you introduce them to me?”

“It’s not the time for that yet.”

“Tsk. Is it because you still can’t trust me?”

“It’s not that.”

“Then why…?”

“Because you still don’t know yourself.”

“What do you mean I don’t know myself? What kind of nonsense is that, friend Kelliark?”

“You will gradually understand what I mean. By the way, have you been feeling your mind becoming clearer as you spend time with me lately?”

Ragal took a moment to reflect on the recent past. As Kelliark had mentioned, it seemed like his brain had been sharpening rapidly ever since he met him.

“Well, it seems like it. Certainly… I’ve been less emotional or laughing frivolously than before. Still, when it comes to Sir Zito, I feel like I should appear the same as usual in front of him. So, even if he summons me, I deliberately act more foolishly.”

The reason for Ragal’s change was clear: brainwashing.

As Tilias had explained to Jin, most of Zito’s subordinates were currently mentally brainwashed by pain. This meant that many of the high-ranking demons were not in their right minds, which contributed to significantly reducing the combat power of most Demon Kings compared to the top-tier superhuman.

Although Ragal wasn’t aware of it, his brainwashing had been gradually weakening ever since he met Kelliark.

While the brainwashing could never be completely undone until Zito’s death, even this level of improvement brought significant changes to Ragal’s life.

“… Oh, interesting. How did this happen? Is it also thanks to you, my friend Kelliark? I only knew that I had been feeling unusually refreshed when I woke up and throughout the day.”

“When you truly know yourself, it will be the right time for you to meet my people.”

Ragal couldn’t help but admire Kelliark even more.

Although it hadn’t been long since Kelliark had revealed his true nature, Ragal was genuinely impressed by the abilities he had demonstrated so far.

The fact that there was a Visepps spy inside the Venomous Demon Castle was unexpected, and the idea that Visepps had any connection to the human world was beyond Ragal’s imagination.

The same goes for the incident where the prisoners were secretly removed from the lower-level prison and Kelliark’s secret communication with an unknown force in the True Demon World without Zito’s knowledge.

‘It’s possible thanks to the Witch’s help, but this friend Kelliark… the more I see him, the harder it is to underestimate him. He seems to have some huge ambitions. I wonder if he could even set aside Sir Zito later… Well, I’m starting to feel like it could happen.’

Until now, Ragal’s desire for recognition was solely directed at Zito. For a long time, he had dreamed of receiving more recognition from Zito, surpassing Paellito, and earning the admiration of all the other Demon Kings.

However, lately, Ragal had been craving Kelliark’s recognition as much as Zito’s.

“Hmm! In that case, this adorable Ragal should work harder. By the way, my friend, the Demon Kings have been dying too frequently lately. Losing Siker this time could lead to questions from Sir Zito, the Haita family, and even the Chief Strategist.”

“Zito probably won’t investigate us because of me, and as for the Haita family, maybe I should get to know them for once.”

“Ah, so you’re thinking of swallowing the Haita family too? Just like you did with me?”

“If Siker’s second-in-command speaks as eloquently as you did when I first met you, there might be no need to go that far. You suffered quite a bit at my hands.”

“It was horrible… Honestly, I was full of confidence after sending Elona to the hospital. It was a shock. Now I know that I was able to injure Elona only because of the hostage situation.”

Just as Ragal was regaining his intelligence and abilities, the same will happen to the demons of the Haita family when they become Kelliark’s subordinates. In Ragal’s opinion, if that happened, a much stronger and superior figure to the late Siker would emerge among the Demon King-level demons of the Haita family.

“An idea just came to me. Somehow, it feels like you’re going to take over the True Demon World this way?”

“I’ve said it before, but my ultimate goal is to reclaim my clan.”

“And naturally, the process would require taking control of the True Demon World?”

“You still have many questions. Don’t worry about losing Demon Kings. The battle at the defensive wall is in full swing, so the Chief Strategist won’t have time to question you about Siker’s matter. Druga Kilet survived, and above all, even if many Demon Kings have died, the overall combat power of the True Demon World is actually increasing.”

“Thanks to the souls you’ve resurrected along with your own people, right?”

-To think that you’ve already found five souls worth using among the Zipple… Meeting you has been a great stroke of luck, don’t you think?

Ragal had said this to Kelliark shortly after taking him to Zito.

Whether then or now, Kelliark was still looking for ‘usable souls’ by scanning the depths of hell.

And among the souls he had collected, there were even some that weren’t Zipple. Notable figures like Kidard Hall.

“That’s right, Ragal.”

“Hmm, I wonder if Sir Zito tolerates this because of the Witch or if he really doesn’t know anything about her existence. However, are they really stronger than the deceased Demon Kings?”

“They were also once beings who ruled the human world or were especially revered. They are far superior to the Demon Kings who did not reach their original state.”

“Things are certainly getting interesting in many ways… Anyway, what’s next? We’ve confirmed the alliance between Visepps and the Runcandels, so what should we do now? Should we spread false information to the Visepps spy and force Luna Runcandel to confront her siblings directly?”

“No, not yet. Anne hasn’t woken up, so I haven’t heard the details, but she must have used her power before losing her body. So, whoever killed Anne, the Vamel alliance would have reported it, and the White Whale won’t hesitate to finish off her siblings who were in hell.”

“Then it might be difficult to use the remaining siblings to erode the White Whale’s mind.”

“We should wait a while, and in the meantime, we can establish contact with the Haita family and other similar families. While Zito’s forces and the Vamel alliance are fighting, we can watch both sides exhaust themselves. However, there’s one thing you might like.”

“Oh, something I might like? What is it?”

“We need to make one of the Demon Kings of the Belgasyum family my subordinate.”

Ragal’s eyes widened.

“Surely you’re not talking about Paellito… So, should it be Layla Belgasyum?”

“That’s right. Layla Belgasyum, that person possesses power close to the Genesis Knight, although she doesn’t know herself. I have plans to have her take care of the White Whale in the future.”

“Oh… Layla is carrying out Sir Zito’s secret orders. And, although I hate to admit it, Layla is much stronger than me. Of course, if it’s you, you can crush Layla anytime, but the length and brevity are determined by perspective, you know?”

“Sometimes, you can know something clearly without needing to verify it. However, I have no intention of fighting Layla Belgasyum. If we simply exchange a few words, she will betray Zito and join me.”

Ragal couldn’t imagine the stubborn and arrogant Layla acting that way, but he nodded his head.

“If you say so, then I guess that’s the case. It’s just that I’m not sure where exactly the part I’d like is in all this.”

“If Layla joins me, you’ll have a higher rank than her, isn’t that a good thing?”

Ragal chuckled and burst into laughter.

“Well, of course…! As expected, there’s no one else who thinks of me like you do.”

“Send an invitation to Layla. Tell her that there’s something I need to tell her about Zito’s secret order. She’ll have no choice but to come, even if she doesn’t want to.”

“What? You actually know the content of that secret order? That’s scary… Okay, I’ll call Layla immediately. Hehe, once she becomes your subordinate, I’ll double all the insults I’ve received so far, Layla.”

Ragal began to write the invitation, and Kelliark closed the magical tome and was lost in thought.

He thought about Myu Ganesto, whom he had just met. During their conversation, based on his ‘perception’, she seemed to be hiding something from him.

‘If the Ganestos already have something to hide from me… Could it be information about the Fire Dragons that were sealed in the past? I’ll have to confirm it properly when I meet Ran Ganesto or Vigo Ganesto next time. Using my perception against Joshua is a heavy task.’
