never ending war (2)

right after the battle is over.

Roman was lost in thought.

'There are many things in this world that I do not know yet.'

the world of unknown.

The magic I experienced firsthand gave me a fresh shock.

Reading a lot of books in the library, I thought about what magic was and how to prepare for it countless times in my head.

However, the knowledge and reality in my head were different.

I knew that Mother Nature reacted to the magician's touch, but the snake-like trunks and intense flames exceeded my imagination.

A different realm than witchcraft.

It was great.

If Moorim developed martial arts with the same roots using the energy of nature, this world created a new realm of magic.

'Magic is a world that I cannot judge hastily. If Edwin Hector was a much greater wizard. I may not have been able to escape alive even with all my might. I have not yet fully recovered the martial arts skills as the Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk, and my hasty judgment may drive me into a limb."

The pincers of Edwin Hector and Butler.

It was a dangerous moment.

Edwin Hector's magic attacked Roman in an unexpected realm, and Butler was the first strong man to experience in the new world.

The first three seconds of the Celestial Swordsmanship.

The attack he used to put an end to it was also blocked against Butler, and he could lose his life if he made a mistake in a counterattack that was attempted immediately.

If I could turn back time

What choice did Roman make?

'I would have made the same choice back then.'

Battlefield.

It is a luxury to expect safety there.

Cheonma Baek Jung-hyeok has risen to the apex by overcoming numerous limbs, and he still has the same thoughts.

Life-threatening experience was required.

If you die due to lack of ability, you will end up with only that much vessel, and if you survive the ordeal, you know that you can move on to the next level.

blood boiled.

Because I knew that there are many mountains to overcome in the new world.

Roman Dmitry couldn't control the boiling blood as he watched the sunrise in the morning.

Kris.

"Say it."

"The kingdom of Hector will not give up as it is. This war is not just a battle of pride, it is a matter of Hector's fate. Perhaps after a day's rest, he will try to quickly clear up the defensive positions of the Southern Front.

"Then, shall we prepare the troops immediately?"

no.

He shook his head.

Edwin Hector.

not a good opponent.

If the war continues despite experiencing one's own powerlessness, it can be interpreted as meaning that sufficient preparation has been made.

"Only a small fraction of the enemies we dealt with overnight. Hector's kingdom still has an overwhelming power compared to the southern front, and if you go down the mountain prematurely, there is a possibility of being hit by enemies. It is not a matter of what we can do from now on. The Cairo royal family will definitely send a main force to subdue the Hector Kingdom, so until then, you need to rest and maintain your power."

not drunk on victory

faced reality.

The well-being of other Southern Front people?

It doesn't matter.

Risking their lives to save them was a foolish decision for now.

'The commanders of the Southern Front chose to remain in the castle despite my advice. From now on, it is their responsibility. If they hold out for ten days, they can survive, but even if they are all sorted out, it won't have a big impact on the general public. It is a question of whether Cairo's main force can capture the rear positions in the first place. I'll keep my power until then, and do what I can when the plate is laid.'

made a decision

Chris nodded.

Okay.

leaving him behind

Roman climbed the mountain.

"I'm going to have some alone time for a while. Until I order, never interrupt my time."

That is.

It was Roman's last command that Chris remembered.

Roman, who created his own space, sat cross-legged and fell into meditation.

'Edwin Hector. He was waiting like a spider, digging a trap, expecting me to attack.'

Consciousness sank deeply.

The five senses faded, and the senses felt around them became false.

'The beginning was a fierce fire.'

A strong fire broke out, and it swept over Roman.

"Inferno."

Hwareuk.

Heat enough to melt at once the moment your skin touches it.

Roman quickly escaped.

As in his memory, Edwin Hector tried to drive Roman by using memorize magic.

'What if I attacked without giving a break at this time?'

Quarreung.

It dug into the opponent's space in an instant, and even though the flames were burning right in front of them, they blew away all the attacks with simple movements.

Some damage was tolerated.

His skin became red, but he prevented direct damage by protecting his skin with mana.

And then.

"Island Electricity."

flash.

Extreme swift sword.

An aura arose from the sword, and in the blink of an eye, Edwin Hector was decapitated.

However.

The attack didn't work.

Edwin Hector disappeared with a blink as if he had avoided his final blow, and Butler did not miss the loophole that was revealed immediately after the attack.

In an instant, his body shook violently.

Butler, angered by the fact that Edwin Hector had been attacked, raised his 5-star aura to polarity and attacked Roman.

Quang!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The atmosphere shook.

It was certain.

Butler was one step ahead of Roman today.

Even though he was an imaginary being, the pressure was vivid, and Roman countered Butler's attack by stepping on foot.

A moment when you are even a little careless.

Edwin Hector's magic exploded.

It was an unfavorable situation.

It was right to retreat to save his life, but Roman made a judgment different from his own experience.

'This is the time.'

dug into that space.

He raised the Celestial Demon Goddess and cut off Butler's head.

As a result.

Scratch!

tuk.

Degururu.

Roman's neck flew off.

It was an imaginary conclusion that the existence of Butler, which Roman experienced, could react sufficiently to such an attack and attempt a counterattack in the opposite direction.

The surroundings have changed again like the first time.

In front of Roman Dmitry's eyes, Edwin Hector was using an Inferno, and this time he made a different choice in the scorching flames that filled his vision.

in an imaginary world.

Roman repeated the number of cases.

Regardless of victory or defeat, he confirmed with his own eyes what the consequences of his choices would be.

Quang!

Hurry rumble!

engulfed in flames

The burning pain in his body was real, but Roman was enjoying his situation.

'I am not absolute in this world. If the last years of Moorim were too boring, Roman Dmitry had to risk his life against Butler, who was not the strongest in the Hector Kingdom. Maybe I was hoping for something like this. A new challenge, a new strength. I am a being who cannot live contentedly with a comfortable life.'

From the bottom to the apex of life.

A child who may have been ordinary at one time became an extraordinary being as he lived a stimulating life.

so that.

'yet again.'

Breaking through the flames, Roman rushed towards the enemies.

imaginary battle.

I can't remember how many times I repeated it.

but.

It just kept fighting.

Numerous numbers of cases piled up in my head, depending on how the opponent attacks, how they will react to their attacks, and the memories of their own experiences.

Attacks are not always unsuccessful.

There was a situation in which Roman slashed both of them and won, but Roman was not satisfied and repeated the situation once more.

The world of weak meat food.

It was a way of surviving there.

When encountering difficult enemies, Baek Jung-hyuk constantly remembered and came up with various ways to defeat the opponent.

attacked Edwin Hector.

That was a trap.

He induced Butler's loyalty, and by blocking like Deukdal, he pierced Butler's loopholes and put a sword into his heart.

Whoops!

"Gagging."

screamed.

Butler stumbled and collapsed, and Edwin Hector, who was left alone, was no match for Roman. cut both of them When Hector's men arrived, Roman was no longer there.

next situation.

Conversely, Edwin Hector's attack was used.

Enough to attract Butler, Edwin Hector's magic induced the situation to explode on Butler.

Whoops!

gurgling gurgling.

A fire broke out.

As Butler caught fire, Roman blew his head off.

An act that is repeated countless times.

The number of all cases was accumulated.

It may be different from reality.

The real enemy must have had more potential than that, but at least he learned the method of destruction at the moment he experienced.

Finally.

Scratch!

Blowed the opponent's neck in the shortest time.

took a breath

As he had accumulated as many experiences as he wanted, his consciousness returned to the surface and his surroundings changed.

By the way.

Roman's condition was not good.

Even though it was a battle that took place in my imagination, scars burning red were left on my body.

pain came over

His dry mouth parted open, but Roman stood up with a nonchalant face.

'It's time to go back.'

yet.

The war is not over.

* * *

Roman's return.

Chris explained the situation in the past.

"As expected of the master, the kingdom of Hector immediately attacked the front-line defensive positions of the southern front simultaneously. In just one day, the 3rd and 4th lines of defense had collapsed, and shortly thereafter the 2nd line fell into enemy hands. And just yesterday, the kingdom of Hector gathered all the war supplies and gathered in the rear position. It seems that they are trying to fight a deadly battle there."

Nongseong (籠城).

It was the best they could choose.

For Roman, the result was not unexpected, but for Henry Albert, it was different.

"Roman. Now the Cairo royal family is very upset. It was thought that the defensive positions of the southern front could survive until Cairo's main force arrived, but they all collapsed in less than three days. There is no hope on the Southern Front. Our lives are at risk if we continue like this."

soon.

Cairo's main force arrives.

However, the kingdom of Hector had already completed the preparations for the Mercury, and from now on, sacrifices could not be avoided.

"The Cairo royal family is waiting for contact with Roman Dmitry. We've done enough. So, why not leave the rest to Cairo's main unit? Siege is a battle in which sacrifice is inevitable. If the kingdom of Hector was pushed to the edge of a cliff, it would certainly not fall alone."

He looked anxious.

by any chance.

I was worried about what Roman would say he would do alone.

Determined to stay by Roman's side somehow, he hoped that Roman would make a safe choice as much as possible.

about a week.

During the time he had alone, the world of war changed.

said Roman.

"Connect communication with the royal family."

for now.

It was time to talk to the royal family of Cairo, who had been riding for a week.
