The Greatest Extra Chapter 5

“Fifth Prince!”

‘Did he instinctively realize something was asleep inside?’

The Master of the Blue Tower, Lisefield Dior, screamed at the top of his lungs as he called the Fifth Prince anxiously, but he disappeared within the darkness of the passage without looking back.

“Oh, my God!”

Under such circumstances, there was a high possibility that the “Spear of Sacrifice” was asleep beyond that boundary. But there was no way in, so Lisefield could only stand in front of the barrier.

Whether he did it deliberately or not, Raymond did not stop walking.

‘How much did I walk? Now I can’t even hear Lisefield.’

Did he give up because he had a sore throat?

Or did Raymond go so deep that he couldn’t even hear his cry?

Considering the Southern Magic Tower Union desire for the Spear of Sacrifice, it was likely the latter.

[As he walked in a hectic way, the light leaked through the darkness. As soon as he turned around the corner, he saw a door made of gold.]

It was according to the contents of the novel. As the main character walked along the long passage and turned around the corner, a golden door appeared.

‘And there’s no trap.’

There was no mention of a trap in the novel or setting book he read. It was something that only the Imperial Family could pass in the first place, so the barrier was the last trap.

‘There’s the Spear of sacrifice in there.’

He opened the golden door with a nervous look.

For hundreds of years, the door, which had been closed motionlessly, opened with the sound of old iron.

At the same time, the magic lamp on the ceiling lit. Unlike the ones on the passageway earlier, it was as bright as if it had been lit up yesterday.

[On the old table in the center, he saw a book, a small pocket, and a wooden box with a size that was hard to lift alone.]

He recalled the contents of the novel by imagining the image of the secret room in his eyes.

They are magic books, subspace bags, and various rare jewels imprinted with “Change of Sacrifice.”

And surprisingly, all of these are stolen goods.

‘The Thief Emperor.’

Raymond shook his head with a short sigh, recalling the story of Hansen from the Novel.

The story of his thievery was not described in detail, but the thief of the “Spear of sacrifice” shows that the scale of his robbery was not small.

It seems that the secret room was also made to hide his stolen goods.

What’s more interesting is that these secret rooms are scattered throughout the Empire besides the Imperial City.

And…

‘I know about everything.’

He had seen the map that was drawn within the book.

There were red dots all over the poorly drawn map of the Empire that indicated were the secret rooms were.

Raymond could still remember the location of all of them.

‘I also know what’s hidden in each chamber.’

They would be his reward when he visited them and opened them one by one.

Raymond picked up the old parchment on the table.

[A small tribute to my descendants for finding the secret room, and this small gift is left by Hansen, your predecessor. Additionally, the Spear of sacrifice may hurt you a little, so use it carefully.]- Hansen’s note.

It was the note that made Raymond laugh.

After finishing reading his ancestors’ words, he took a step toward the old table and reached for the magic book.

Even if it is a magic book, there was no need to inject mana. The moment the finger touched, the “Spear of sacrifice” opened its eyes.

<The Spear of sacrifice recognizes your existence.>

At the same time as the soft voice rang, the magic book became a white powder and scattered in the air.

But Raymond wasn’t startled.

He already expected it.

To gain the power of ancient artifacts, one must pass the test. And he knows the content of the test where the Spear of Sacrifice falls.

<Are you ready to sacrifice?>

Instead of a concrete answer, he nodded, and the white powder hovering in the air gathered to form a long spear.

<If so, sacrifice.>

“I’m happy.”

He picked up the white spear. He knew what to do because he had already read the novel.

“One time is enough.”

Mumbling to himself with determination, Raymond stabbed himself in the heart with the white spear.

There was no hesitation. The tip of the spear penetrated his chest and pierced through his bone, but Raymond did not shed a single drop of blood.

“Huh, hahah!

There was no scar, but he felt an excruciating pain. The sharp pain burst out of his chest like a bomb.

His breathing became rough and his body, which couldn’t overcome the pain, stumbled nervously.

‘Oh, not yet?’

In the novel, there was no description of how long the pain lasted.

‘I let my guard down. This hurts a lot.’

It’s a terrible pain he had never felt before. With this pain, he felt like dying.

How long would he last? Finally, his whole body was exhausted and Raymond collapsed.

“Shit, Shit!”

He groaned and cursed Hansen, who he didn’t even know.

“This isn’t something a ‘little’ painful!”

***

Fortunately, the pain did not last long.

The pain ended when the white spear completely penetrated Raymond’s chest.

<You have passed the ancient test. A spear that penetrates the enemy by sacrificing itself is now in your heart.>

<Awaken the ‘Spear of Sacrifice.>

As soon as the voice ended, explosive energy erupted from his whole body.

Regaining his consciousness, Raymond shook himself and woke up in order to open the wooden box.

“This reward is enough.”

The box was filled with jewels that seemed to be rare, even for the current Emperor of the Empire.

It will definitely come in handy later. Without a word, Raymond opened the space bag next to him and moved the jewelry inside.

‘They may be stolen, but it was stolen hundreds of years ago, so I won’t worry about the owner showing up.’

He doesn’t have any conscience left; they were all sold a long time ago.

“Oh, this is killing me.”

He thought the pain was completely gone, but it wasn’t.

There was intermittent, sharp pain, as if something were rubbing against his chest.

But with it, he could feel a full mana sitting near his heart.

‘Is this the mana that the Spear of Sacrifice possesses?’

Even if it was condensed using the method learned from Lisefield, a large amount of mana was overflowing within his heart.

‘That’s a little difficult.’

Raymond can’t hide all of the Mana.

‘It’s only a matter of time before the rumor goes around.’

The Fifth Prince, famous for being a scoundrel, suddenly had a huge amount of mana? This alone makes his life dangerous.

In particular, the Third Prince, blinded by power, may do something with the tower behind him.

If Raymond reveals that he is talented at magic, Aloken may have to keep him in check.

‘This is a total mess.’

But it’s impossible to undo everything. He has no choice but to make a full-fledged move.

The first one will be on the Blue Tower.

Let’s go.

When he came outside, the secret room collapsed. It would be better to remove the evidence that the stolen property was already found.

Walking along the way, he was able to go back to Imperial Chamber No. 7.
The old man in a brown robe was waiting for Raymond without a word.

It’s Lisefield Dior, the Master of the Blue Tower.

“Fifth Prince, did you get the Spear of Sacrifice?”

The old high-ranking wizard noticed the changes in the body of the Fifth Prince too easily.

“What if I did?”

The Southern Magic Tower Union has lost the power of the Spear of Sacrifice.

Several complicated feelings were reflected on Lisefield’s gaze as he looked at Raymond.

Ancient artifacts are attributed.

Even if he killed the user right away, the artifact would lose its power for 50 years, so Lisefield did not dare to offend Raymond at all.

Also, as he was a member of the Imperial Family, killing him would bring him more problems just to have the power 50 years later.

It was impossible to kill an Imperial Family member within the Pilias Empire. An Empire that values the Imperial Family so much.

He doesn’t know if Raymond is still the same Fifth Prince of the past anymore.
Lisefield’s eyes shined, and he had a faint smile.

“Now that I have the Spear of Sacrifice in my hand, would you have to fulfill the ancient promise?”

“Huh, do you even know the promise of two thousand years?”

Lisefield laughed in vain. He didn’t know how the young Prince in front of him knew the promise that the Southern Magic Tower Union had followed for 2,000 years since the ancient times.

‘The promise of two thousand years must be kept.’

Lisefield recalled the teachings from his predecessors.

A strong power lies in the word promise.

‘Who the hell was he?’

This rascal changed overnight.

Raymond even possesses a talent enough to materialize Mana even though he didn’t teach him how to operate it.

Now, he brought up a Spear of sacrifice that the wizards of the Southern Magic Tower Union couldn’t find, even though they were looking for it so much, to the point of mentioning the “two-thousand-year promise.”

“Old man, what are you thinking so much?”

Lisefield came to his senses with the voice of the Fifth Prince, who awakened his deep worries.

“If you don’t mind, how did you learn about the Spear of sacrifice…….”

“Is that important now?”

When asked by Raymond, the Fifth Prince, Lesefield was speechless.

At the moment, he blankly looked at the Fifth Prince, but soon shook his head with a calm smile.

“Not important at all, Your Highness the Fifth.”

“Then think back to the promises you must keep for two thousand years since ancient times.”

From the 2,000-year-old promise, there was the Blue Tower and the Red Tower of the Pilias Empire.

“Fifth Prince.”

Lisefield grinned at Raymond.

“The Blue Tower still remembered the promise of two thousand years.”

Listening to the voice of Lisefield, which contains loyalty, Raymond couldn’t stop the smile spreading around his mouth. Raymond nodded and opened his mouth with a satisfied expression.

“The Blue Tower must remember their promise.”

The Yellow Tower, which was built in ancient times, may not know about it, but the Red Tower must remember the promise of two thousand years ago.

‘What if they forgot? I will remind them.’

***

“His Highness the Fifth is in critical condition! The Imperial Knights of the Imperial Chamber open the door now!”

“Where are the doctor and the healers?”

“Fifth Prince, Your Highness! Hang in there! The infirmary is just around the corner!”

The Imperial knight’s face came into his dim view.

Raymond squinted his eyes to see who it was, but his vision was so obscure.

“Your Highness the Fifth has finally woken up!”

“You have to hang in there a little longer!”

The Imperial Knights made a fuss.

Only then did his eyesight recover a little and he could look around.

‘Did I faint?’

He was moving somewhere while lying on a stretcher. Two servants and five Imperial Knights were leading the way out.

Alex, the servant in charge of the Fifth Palace, stood next to him with an anxious face and walks in rhythm with the other servants.

“Fifth Prince, nothing will happen.”

Alex spoke with a determined voice. As soon as he was trying to remember what was going on, he coughed.

“Cough! Cough!”

Covering his mouth with his hand, he coughed out another violent cough. He feels like there was something within his palm.

“Fifth Prince!”

“How many medical rooms are left?!”

The Imperial knights made a fuss again.

Raymond wanted to tell why they were being so fussy, but he couldn’t. It was because as he removed the palm from his mouth, it was soaked with dark red blood.

“Oh, my God, this is crazy…….”

Now he remembered. In order to experiment with the “Spear of sacrifice,” he seems to have fainted while wandering in the private training camp together with Lisefield.

‘I didn’t know it would take this much vitality…’

He knew from the book that the “Spear of Sacrifice” consumes vitality instead of Mana, but he didn’t expect it to suck it up to the point of him fainting. He didn’t expect this.

‘I can’t use it often. I’m going to use it as a skill in order to kill someone.’

One thing he remembered is that he fainted before confirming the destructive power of the “Spear of sacrifice.”

‘The Master of Blue Tower will explain it to me later.’

Raymond was curious, but he had to endure it, he frowned and bit his lips slightly.

However, the Imperial Knights ran faster in order to let reach the Infirmary immediately.
“Bring His Highness the Fifth to the infirmary!”

“You mustn’t delay!”

Raymond arrived at the infirmary in the midst of the fussy Imperial knights. The Healer and doctor, who were contacted beforehand were on standby.

While the Healer concocted the medicine, the doctor examined Raymond’s condition.

“The condition of the Fifth Prince…….”

Alex asked a question. Raymond, who had just begun to have mana, could feel the mighty Mana from the front door.

It was such powerful mana that he could not see the ends of it at all…

He wanted to take a break. What’s going on?

“Excuse me.”

A group of gold cloaks appeared and walk into the infirmary, the people inside know who they were.

The Imperial Guards.

“What are the Imperial Guards doing here?”

One of the Imperial Knights who brought Raymond to the infirmary was surprised and unknowingly uttered the words.

No one answered, but everyone knows. The appearance of the Imperial Guard comes with…

‘The Emperor is there.’

He lifted up his tired body.

‘I can’t just lay down when the Emperor is coming, can I?’

“Your Majesty is coming!”

One of the Imperial knights shouted vigorously and stepped aside.

The Emperor walked into the infirmary, escorted by the Imperial Guards wearing golden armor.

“Raymond!”

He had a calm face until he crossed the room, but he forgot to save face and ran to the Fifth Prince’s side as soon as he saw that his face was soaked with blood.

The Imperial knights hurriedly stepped aside and bowed their heads, the doctor and the healer followed.

‘When will the Doctor and the Healer start to cure me? I feel like dying because of pain.’
