I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 69
Chapter 69
Her world shattered miserably.
***
Beeeeeep -.
Tinnitus rang in her ears, and the ground, the world, felt elongated. Her eyes solely focused on Lian’s limp body.
“Haha, what do you think? The sight of your beloved brother?”
The voice that seemed to come from a distance became clear at the word ‘brother’. Iris stared blankly at the brightly smiling Angsho.
“Don’t tell me you still haven’t realized? Hmm, how disappointing. I thought you’d have quite a decent ability, considering your brother’s exceptional skills… To still not know what you killed.”
Iris said nothing in response to the mocking voice. She simply gazed at Angsho quietly. Angsho smirked, the corner of his mouth lifting as he looked into Iris’s eyes.
He, who had driven countless slaves into the abyss of despair, keenly noticed.
Her world was crumbling miserably.

“Let me explain for your foolish self. The opponent you faced in today’s match was your brother. When I told him he could meet his sister if he won this match, he insisted on participating.”
He burst into laughter as he spoke.
“Now that I think about it, your brother seems quite dim-witted compared to his swordsmanship. That’s why he ended up dead like this.”
Before any thought could surface, Iris leaped forward in an instant, grabbed a vase from the table beside the sofa, and charged at Angsho.
It happened in a flash. The moment the vase in Iris’s hand was about to strike Angsho’s head.
Kwajijijik!
“Aaaargh!”
A powerful electric current erupted from Iris’s collar, burning her body. Iris dropped the vase and rolled on the floor.
“Ugh, urk…”
The smell of burning skin accompanied the rising nausea. Angsho approached Iris and grabbed her hair, lifting her up.
“This is why I say you siblings are idiots. Daring to attack without knowing your place.”
Angsho threw Iris onto Lian like discarding trash.
Thud, crash!
Iris rolled over Lian’s body. She felt the sting of her legs scraping the floor. But Iris couldn’t care about such things.
The fishy smell of blood right under her nose and the body devoid of any warmth. Only after touching Lian’s corpse did Iris let out a scream-filled cry.
“Ah, ah… Ah, heu… Heu-euk…”
Her usually expressionless face began to contort. Trembling hands fumbled over Lian’s shoulders and then grabbed his face. Surprised by the reality of ‘truly dying’, his eyes remained open.
The eyes that always held a kind warmth were colder than ever.
Unable to accept Lian’s death, Iris wept to the point of breathlessness, pulling his cold, stiff hand to her face.
The hand that always caressed her cheek brushed against it and fell limply.
She desperately wanted to find proof that Lian wasn’t dead, but there was no way to find life in the already cold corpse.
“Puhup, puhahaha! Ah -, stupid bastard. He cherished his sister so much, only to die at the hands of the sister he cherished!”
Angsho laughed vulgarly at the most thrilling scene ever, throwing away the last mask he had been wearing and insulting Iris and Lian. Iris’s gaze, which had been fumbling over Lian with trembling hands, turned to Angsho.
“What? Are you going to attack again? Puheup, no matter how much you struggle, you can’t kill me.”
This wa s c o pi ed f ro m ki ngm t l.or g
Facing Iris’s murderous gaze, Angsho felt an electric thrill. It was enjoyable to see a powerful being who could snap his neck in an instant swallow their anger because they were a slave.
Thi s was c o p i e d f r o m k i ngmt l . or g
“If you want to resent someone, shouldn’t you resent your stupid brother and yourself for swinging a sword without even recognizing your brother, not me, the heavens above the heavens?”
The more intense the killing intent, the more excited Angsho’s voice became.
‘Ah -, this feels much better than I thought!’
Although Lian was Angsho’s target, seeing Iris completely crumble didn’t feel bad despite the failure of his initial goal. No, it was rather thrilling.
Iris, with a tear-stained face, stared at Angsho intently with a blank expression.
She seemed to have lost her mind, but the palpable killing intent was so intense that it was clear she was holding her breath to kill Angsho.
“It seems your interest in your brother has faded.”
Angsho, now back to using polite language, took out a small bell the size of a finger from his jacket pocket and shook it.
Ding -.
As a very small, high-pitched sound rang out.
Thud!
This w as c op ied fr o m k i ng mtl . o r g
The door far from the one Iris had entered opened, and a large man walked out. He moved with familiar gestures to collect the corpse.
Iris, belatedly trying to prevent Lian’s body from being taken away, bared her teeth and tried to attack the man. Angsho lightly flicked his hand and said.
“Ha, I knew this would happen with an uneducated slave.”
As he flicked his hand, the black ring on his finger glinted.
Pajijijik!
“Aaaargh!”
The electric attack that had sent Iris rolling on the floor erupted from her collar once again, making her writhe on the ground.
“Urk… Ugh.”
“Stupid bitch.”
Angsho grinned broadly, watching Iris squirm on the floor. At the same time, his face began to melt fluidly.
Angsho frowned and looked at the man collecting the corpse.
“Hurry up and get out!”
T hi s wa s co pi e d f ro m k i n g mt l . o r g
“Hic! Yes, yes!”
The man hastily gathered the corpse and scurried through the door Iris had entered. Iris, her entire body electrocuted and trembling, reached out her hand toward her departing brother, but.
Thud.
The door closed, and he completely disappeared from sight.
T h i s w a s co p ie d f ro m k in gm t l .or g
“Haa, how annoying. Right when it was getting fun.”
Angsho clicked his tongue and headed toward the door the man had opened and entered. He wanted to toy with Iris a bit more, so he planned to fix his face in another room and return.
‘She’ll be sprawled out for at least 10 minutes.’
Slaves who had been subjected to that attack so far, whether strong or weak, couldn’t get up from the floor for that amount of time.
Thud.
Left alone after Angsho’s departure, Iris couldn’t properly get up from the floor, just as he had said. Every time she tried to lift her body, it would tremble and collapse back onto the floor.
See, you did kill him.
T h i s w a s c o pie d f r o m k i ng m t l . or g
The voice she had been desperately avoiding continued to echo in her mind as she rolled on the floor.
This is what happens when a monster like you loves a human.
Th i s wa s c o p ie d f r o m ki n g m tl . o r g
Normally, she would have covered her ears and closed her eyes, desperately seeking Lian’s warmth. She would have buried herself in his embrace, received his gentle touch, and let the rising voices drift away lightly.
But now, her brother is gone. Because he died by her hand.
The moment she recognized that fact. A huge explosion went off in her head.
Kekekeke! You monstrous bitch! You’ve finally shattered!
A scream-like voice rang out, and Iris’s hair color instantly began to change from white to pale gray. Her brilliantly sparkling eyes turned murky.
“Bro, brother… Brother…”
Iris fumbled on the floor with a blank face, searching for him.
Thud, her fingertips touched a sword that hadn’t been there a moment ago. It was the Demon Sword that had followed her after hearing she could meet Lian.
[ Hey, partner’s sister! I’ll lend you my strength just this once! So make sure to behead that bastard from earlier – … ]
Angered by the terrible insult to its partner it had grown quite fond of, the Demon Sword changed from a thin needle form to a sword form to help Iris.
Before the Demon Sword could finish speaking.
Grab.
Iris gripped the Demon Sword.
[ Yes, you must be angry too – … Gasp?! Wha, what is this! ]
The Demon Sword trembled at the strange energy emanating from Iris’s body. An energy that was completely different from holy power, alien and spine-chilling, penetrated the Demon Sword.
[ Hiek! What is this! Le, let go of me right now! ]
The Demon Sword screamed in horror and tried to escape from Iris, but Iris wouldn’t let go, keeping it in her grasp.
Let’s kill, let’s kill them all! All the trash that insulted your family!
Despite feeling pain as if her head was being clawed, Iris stood up from her spot without letting out a single moan.
A sticky, creepy, jet-black energy, the complete opposite of the radiant light that had shone when she held the sword to protect Lian, flowed out of Iris’s body.
T h i s wa s c o p i e d f r o m k i ngmtl .o r g
[ Kyaaaaah! ]
The Demon Sword thrashed and shook at the unpleasant energy.
Click.
At that moment, Angsho returned. Opening the door with a face full of excitement at the thought of driving Iris to the edge, Angsho frowned and looked at Iris.
“Huh? Where did you find that sword again?”
Angsho looked at Iris standing with a dark red sword in disbelief and spoke with a sneer.
T his was c o p i e d f r o m k in g m t l .o rg
“Well, it doesn’t matter whether you have a weapon or not. If you try to attack me – …”
Pajijik.
As an eerie energy rippled through Iris’s sword, her fingers twitched. The sword swung at an invisible speed.
Thud thud thud.
The slave collar around her neck shattered and fell off, almost turning to dust.
“The same pain as before…”
Angsho trailed off and eventually couldn’t finish his sentence.
‘What the..?’
Faced with the surreal scene, he gaped at Iris in a daze.
