CH 208

. Guardian of the Iron-Blood 'Empire'

(2)

The blue status window flickered continuously in front of Jinhyuk.

[You have chosen an empire among the great power empires in the middle ranks and the Moorim.]

[Gain the trust of the Emperor Reinhard III and lead the Empire on the road to complete prosperity.]

[If successful, the third perk for 'the first to conquer the tower' will be unlocked.]

pounding! pounding! pounding!

My heart was beating like crazy.

Third perk!

'I wondered why it was so quiet all this time, but it was supposed to be related to a big event, but it happened in a way.'

Greed flashed through Jinhyuk's eyes.

However, it was only for a short time.

'I don't have time to enjoy the new event.'

kwaang!

Chunkyung!

Suddenly, the guards who entered the conference room surrounded Jinhyuk in a circle.

All of them are knights who know how to handle Aura.

Among them, there were also high-level knights with spitting sun blood.

The body of a gold dragon is engraved on the armor.

no doubt

The Imperial Guard is called the heart of the empire.

Sreung !

The captain of the guard drew his sword.

Dare you, where did you come from here! If you have black hair, you must be a spy sent from Moorim. You will have to confess how you managed to move through the palace's distortion magic.

So.

The space movement Artifact was given to you by the gentleman sitting over there?

Jinhyuk made a gesture to Penheimer for help.

Penheimer was still looking at Jinhyuk with a mixed expression of expectation and smirk.

shit.

If you believe in that Spirit, even 12 lives may not be enough.

If there are people who say anything like the Iron Minister of the Empire who attended the masquerade, it might be possible to clear up the misunderstanding, but

Unfortunately, the people I saw at that time were not visible at this meeting.

'Did you even put this into the calculation?'

if so .

Jinhyuk quickly activated the 'Eyes of Gluttony' towards the emperor.

[Details: Reinhardt, the first emperor who established a great empire by unifying 17 kingdoms. He established an absolute position based on his overwhelming charisma and force. However, with the passing of time, the imperial power has weakened, while the power of the nobility is growing day by day. Reinhard III worked his whole life to reestablish such imperial power, but At this rate, it seems that Reinhard IV will not wear the crown.]

[Copy condition: If you gain the emperor's trust, you can copy one of his skills.]

" "

The emperor's eyes are dead.

Maybe it's because of the sense of shame at the fact that he couldn't change the path to catastrophe even after trying all his life.

A life that has been burned with one's own body as firewood.

Now, we have to kindle a fire once again in the heart of the old man who has no residual fire left.

Jinhyuk took out 'fangs' from the subspace inventory.

Are you going to resist?

The captain of the bodyguard let out a smirk as if it were a pity.

"You look like you are being forced to be a Moorim, so will you stay still?"

Hey. You're not a Moorim? Then where the hell did you come from?

"I'm from outside the tower. If I say player , will you understand?"

At the word player, everyone's attention was once again focused.

...!

Is the author a player?

By the way, I heard that the intelligence department said there were people with dark hair outside the tower.

Are you one of them? But, I know that the players haven't broken through the 10th floor yet, so how the hell did you get here?

Although most of the players were still in the lower floors of the tower, the potential and value of the players could never be ignored.

yea that's the way it is

If the residents imprisoned in the tower go to the lower levels of the tower or go outside, they have to pay a huge price.

On the other hand, players were free to go up and down the floor free from such restrictions, and their growth rate was much higher than that of residents.

In this war, of course, it means that it is a major resource that must be secured to get to the upper floors of the tower.

Sir Penheimer. Is what Iza said true? Isn't Sir in charge of the player side?

The captain of the Guard immediately tried to ascertain the facts to Penheimer.

Well. I'm the first person I've ever seen.

Naturally, Penheimer denied his relationship with Jinhyuk.

I was sure of this.

Penheimer is now asking himself to get out of this situation.

'To be precise, through the use of force... I guess I'll have to show the emperor what kind of person I am.'

A shock agent to wake the emperor from a feeling of helplessness.

At the same time, there are players who can prove that there is hope for the future of the empire.

I have to prove it right here and now.

I was looking forward to a leisurely tour... but this work will be expensive later.

Jinhyuk, who muttered, immediately injected mana into his sword.

Pants... .

A blue energy spread along the blade.

Hey. Do you know how to handle Aura? Still, he's learned the basics quite a bit. However, it was a mistake to come here at that level.

The captain of the guards laughed bitterly.

And immediately shouted at the guardsman next to him.

Macan!

Yes!

The guardsman, who was called, stepped forward, holding the sword with both hands.

Oh oh!

I'll be able to see the actual battle of the Guardsman.

I'm looking forward to it. Take down that cheeky intruder right now!

The aristocrats who were watching also waited with anticipation for what would happen next.

After all, the result is decided.

What was expected was the process leading to the result.

Cheers erupted from everyone's mouth at the thought of seeing the greatness of the empire and the wretched words of the invaders.

Keep it down as long as you don't kill it. It doesn't matter if you cut off an arm or a leg.

Just leave it to me.

Macan took a stance.

A strong physique and basic skills honed through rigorous training.

Indeed, he is a member of the Imperial Guard that the Empire is proud of.

Tuk!

With a light footstep, Macan narrowed the distance with Jinhyuk at once.

It's good to do both at the same time.

The sword crossed across Jinhyuk's thigh.

By the way.

Boo Woong!

The attack that he thought was perfect crossed the pitiful air.

Boo-woong!

Boo Woong!

Two, three... .

They continued to attack, but the result was the same.

Rather, Jinhyuk went behind Macan and grabbed his back.

Cats are usually quiet when they hold their necks. They don't seem to be humans.

Oh, where dare you!

Macan, full of drugs, tried to shake off Jin-hyuk's grasp at once.

However, contrary to what I thought, my body did not move freely.

Juju (柔術).

Jinhyuk grabbed Macan's back and cleverly disturbed the center of gravity.

kuung!

Macan, who had smashed his buttwheel in trouble, floundered his arms and legs on the floor.

Of course, it was only for a short time.

kwaduk!

It was because the merciless kicking had crushed his chin.

For a moment, the surroundings became as quiet as ice water.

Even the sneering laughter.

The noise that was quietly chirping.

All gone.

Jinhyuk shrugged.

Maybe, this isn't the level of the Empire? If so, that's very disappointing. This.

A clear attack followed.

What kind of dog is this in a place where the Emperor and numerous nobles gather?

If we can't fix this right now, there's nothing we can do about it, even if all of them are beheaded.

Shane! Veirn!

The captain of the guards shouted again.

thud!

percussion!

This time, the two knights flew at the same time.

The pass line was spread like a ruler.

But even that seemed too slow in Jinhyuk's eyes.

Send only two people... .

I still haven't come to my senses.

Jinhyeok, who avoided the tip of the sword by a single sheet of paper, moved his hand so fast that it was hard to see with the naked eye.

Whoops!

puck!

The handle of the dagger hit the back of the head.

Because the power and speed were accurately loaded, the two knights could not even dare to avoid or defend.

Shane and Veirne, who lost consciousness on the spot, fell to the left and right.

It happened really quickly.

Unbelievable.

The captain's mouth widened and opened.

It was only now that I realized that the situation was not serious.

'Movement is not normal.'

Seeing the knights as if they were playing with children, it must have been a fairly highly trained intruder.

However, no matter how good the movement is, that's all.

Acrobatics can never surpass craftsmanship.

From now on, let me deal directly with you.

The knight leader extended his sword forward.

Kukuku!

A blue light that completely covered the sword rose about 30 cm.

It is not the level of simply forming Aura on the blade, but the state of materializing that form.

That meant only one thing.

A person who can handle the completed Aura blade.

In other words.

'Sword Master'

That's what Aura blades are. It's a completely different level from what you're using. I regret that I looked down on the Imperial Guard... heh heh!?

However, the two eyes of the captain of the guardsmen who were talking about exploding.

I was so startled that I almost dropped the sword from my hand.

I had no choice but to do so.

Although he proudly presented Aura, the strongest skill.

The other party also brought out the same thing.

kukukuku!

A pure light, burning the air, began to dominate the entire conference room.

It's not just 30 cm.

Aura, which soared close to 2m, had an obsidian color that seemed to be sucked in.

It's an Aura blade without a doubt.

It's so perfect that it can't even be compared with yourself.

Rumble!

His face, his naval, and his liver couldn't stop his limbs from trembling.

And there was no nobleman to say anything about it.

It was only natural for a rabbit to get scared in front of a tiger.

Like that... a bright Aura blade.

So, is that the sword master? That man?

no.

It was Merton, who was the imperial foreign minister, who denied it with a single knife.

He was a person who had interacted countless times with the Empire and the Moorim, as well as various powers in the tower.

Having met a lot of strong men over the decades, Merton could be sure.

It's more than that.

Above the Sword Master.

A dream state that only two of them possess in the Empire.

Grand Sword Master.

Only when the training to sharpen bones that I had to learn how to hold a sword before I was a toddler and the talent that came out once in 100 years were combined... .

No, it is an area that can only be reached if you are supported by your innate luck.

that .

A stranger did it for the first time.
