After Marrying 5 Yandere Wives, I Obtained a 10,000x Return System Chapter 16: Kneel or Die

After sitting down, I imdiately asked,

"System, show Velzareth’s description."

Then a translucent blue screen appeared before my eyes.

"Wow..."

I stared at the description with shining eyes.

If this was only the First Regalia, then there were still twelve more waiting to be unlocked.

A thrill ran through my body.

"I’ll unlock all of them one day."

I clenched my fist tightly.

The image of thirteen legendary armors standing behind flashed through my mind.

DINGGG!

The sudden notification nearly made jump.

I froze.

Then my eyes widened.

My mouth slowly opened.

"...No way."

I rubbed my eyes.

Then checked again.

"...No freaking way."

A grin spread across my face.

"Finally!"

"A 10,000x Return!"

"System..."

I laughed.

"You really know well."

Just this morning, I had been worried about Roland’s army.

Now I suddenly owned one.

An actual army.

For the first ti since arriving in this world, I finally felt a sense of security.

"Huh?"

I blinked.

Then blinked again.

"...Ti?"

My heart skipped a beat.

No.

Forget S-Rank.

If soone called this an SSS-Rank treasure, I would believe them imdiately.

Then a terrifying thought appeared in my mind.

I sat upright.

"Wait."

"What if I put the Mana Well and Healing Spring inside the chamber?"

The more I thought about it, the more ridiculous it beca.

Soldiers could train for months.

Recover instantly.

Then continue training.

Mages could cultivate thirty tis faster.

Researchers could spend years developing new techniques.

The entire territory could grow at an absurd speed.

"Amazing."

I couldn’t stop laughing.

For once—

The system had given sothing truly insane.

Then another thought appeared.

I imdiately shook my head.

"Actually..."

"I’ll use system rewards to beco stronger."

"The soldiers can do the training."

I nodded seriously.

"Yeah."

"That’s words suite for a hero"

---

After leaving the reward screen, I began returning to the territory.

The afternoon sun slowly descended toward the mountains.

Cold winds swept across Blackstone Highlands.

Roughly thirty minutes later—

The lord’s estate finally ca into view.

Then my footsteps stopped.

Smoke.

Fire.

Black smoke rose into the sky from inside the estate.

The distant glow of flas reflected against the surrounding buildings.

People had gathered outside.

rchants.

Adventurers.

Travelers.

Local civilians.

Hundreds of them stood watching from a distance.

Not helping.

Simply watching.

Like spectators enjoying a performance.

My expression darkened imdiately.

"Aurielle..."

"The mages..."

A bad feeling gripped my chest.

Then I heard nearby conversations.

"Looks like Blackstone Highlands is finally changing rulers."

A rchant sighed.

"Well, everyone knew this would happen."

"I saw Roland’s family army arrive last night."

Another man laughed mockingly.

"That exiled princess really thought she could hold this territory?"

"As long as her stepbrothers and stepsisters are alive, she never stood a chance."

Then his smile beca disgusting.

"By now she’s probably Roland’s toy."

"That bastard is lucky."

"I heard she’s unbelievably beautiful."

"I’d pay anything for a single night—"

My eyes turned cold.

The world suddenly felt silent.

The man kept talking.

Completely unaware.

"And that useless Hero?"

Soone asked.

The sa rchant snorted.

"A failure."

"Probably dead already."

"I bet Roland had him killed this morning."

Sothing inside snapped.

BANG!!!

His head exploded.

Blood and bone fragnts sprayed through the air.

The crowd froze.

For a heartbeat—

Nobody moved.

Then screams erupted.

"AAAAAHHH!"

"MURDER!"

"OH GODS!"

People stumbled backward.

So fell to the ground.

Others ran.

Panic spread instantly.

I slowly lowered my blood-covered hand.

My expression remained calm.

Ice cold.

Then I spoke.

"The husband of Aurielle Valmont."

Silence.

"The Hero summoned by the Goddess."

More silence.

"Has arrived."

A chill spread through the crowd.

No one dared speak.

No one dared move.

STEP.

STEP.

STEP.

I walked forward.

People imdiately moved aside.

An empty path ford before .

Like subjects welcoming a king.

Ahead stood the estate gate.

Ten Iron Knights.

One hundred Body Tempering soldiers.

All ard.

All waiting.

The Iron Knights wore dark steel armor marked with Roland’s insignia.

Their faces were hard.

Scarred.

Experienced.

Yet I could see mockery in their eyes.

Because unlike the civilians—

They are not afraid of .

I stopped before the gate.

The soldiers lowered their spears.

The Iron Knights unsheathed their swords.

Steel glead beneath the evening sunlight.

I looked at them calmly.

Then spoke.

"Answer my call."

A faint smile appeared.

"Velzareth."

BOOOOOOM!!!

Space shattered.

Dark-blue energy erupted from the void itself.

The surrounding air distorted violently.

Gasps erupted from the crowd.

Black armor erged from darkness.

Ancient.

Majestic.

Terrifying.

Azure runes ignited across its surface.

CLICK.

CLACK.

CLICK.

One piece after another attached itself to my body.

The sound echoed like the march of death.

By the ti the final piece locked into place—

Even the Iron Knights had gone pale.

The helt vanished.

I rested Voidfang upon my shoulder.

The black blade reflected the burning mansion behind .

The soldiers tightened their grips.

Sweat appeared on several foreheads.

I activated mana.

Then shouted.

"EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE MY SUBJECTS—"

BOOOOOOM!!!

My voice exploded across the territory.

Windows rattled.

Dust fell from rooftops.

Birds scattered into the sky.

People covered their ears.

Several civilians nearly collapsed from the pressure.

The soldiers flinched.

I pointed my sword toward them.

"FROM THIS MONT FORWARD—"

"ALL TRAITORS WILL BE EXECUTED!"

"HAVE NO EXPECTATION OF RCY!"

The wind roared around .

Smoke billowed through the air.

"THAT’S WHY SURRENDER NOW"

The blackstone gate guards exchanged nervous looks.

But then—

"HAAAH!"

One of Roland’s Iron Knights charged.

A tall man with a scar running across his face.

His sword flashed.

The other knights followed imdiately.

Trying to overwhelm before I could act.

I sighed.

"Sigh..."

Then snapped my fingers.

SNAP.

The world trembled.

Dozens.

Hundreds.

Thousands.

Massive magic circles appeared behind .

They covered the entire road.

The earth shook violently.

The crowd scread and ran.

The charging knights stopped dead in their tracks.

Their faces turned white.

WHOOOOOOOSH!!!

Armor clashed.

Boots struck the ground.

The Blackstone Guardian Legion appeared like a tide of steel.

One thousand soldiers.

One hundred Iron Knights.

Ten Bronze Knights.

And at the very front—

A Silver Knight Commander.

Her silver armor radiated overwhelming pressure.

The aura alone made Roland’s knights struggle to breathe.

The battlefield beca silent.

The enemy soldiers stared in horror.

Their confidence shattered completely.

Their lips trembled.

Like they want to ask, does my offer still valid?

But I just smiled.

A cold smile.

Then raised Voidfang.

The gate guards looked at the legion.

Then at .

Then at the Silver Knight Commander.

Their faces lost all color.

Fear filled their eyes.

And for the first ti—

They realized they had chosen the wrong side.
