International Conference (1)

people flocked

To confirm Roman Dmitry's safety, the streets were bustling with the aftermath of the war.

They also heard rumors.

While Dmitry had a fierce time with the Kronos Empire, Roman Dmitry lived in even greater danger.

Hearing the occasional news, people hoped that he would return safely.

Finally.

Roman Dmitry appeared.

As if to prove the hardships of the past, the behavior of the soldiers, including Roman Dmitry, was not good.

However.

People's reaction was enthusiastic.

Although their appearance was shabby, they listened carefully to what they achieved.

"You are the pride of Dmitry!"

"You really worked hard!"

"Congratulations on reaching the Continental Rankings!"

Barbosa.

The head of a man called the Continental Twelve Swords was blown away.

Not only that, the faces of those killed by Roman Dmitry during their return to Dmitry were splendid.

For the people of Dmitry, there was no choice but to fill with pride.

Throughout the history of the continent, there has never been a case where a person outside of the Empire entered the top rankings, but Roman Dmitry defeated the strongest person at the top.

Its meaning is not simple.

Even if Dmitry was a small country that had just been born, his status would be completely different with only one being, Roman Dmitry.

The appearance of General Triumph.

people were excited

Roman Dmitry accepted their gaze and went straight to his parents.

I'm home.

"Roman! Are there any injuries?"

As soon as her mother, Rihanna Dmitry, found Roman, she ran to her with a fuss.

son's rumors.

I don't know how anxious I was.

Usually Rihanna Dmitry was known for being gentle and dignified, but she could not save face for her son's work.

We had a moment of reunion as parents and children.

Rihanna Dmitry took a step back with a relieved expression after examining her body closely and making sure that nothing was wrong.

At that time, Duke Dmitry asked.

"You know what happened to Dmitry. son How do you think this should be handled?"

this case.

It wasn't just a matter of passing over.

The Kronos Empire violated the Continental Law and attacked Dmitry, and if they did not take issue with it, they could set a bad precedent.

After defeating the Kronos Empire. Dmitry had to deal with the pain of war.

The war was a complete victory, but that did not mean that no one was killed.

The past few days, Dmitry has been shaken.

The group who wanted to retaliate against this and the group about how to deal with the Empire had a fierce disagreement with each other.

finally.

Duke Dmitry passed the option.

Looking at Roman Dmitry, he said with a determined expression.

"Dmitry has been given the title of Duchy, and the affairs of this country are yours. It doesn't matter that I am called the master of this country. Roman. keep this in mind Whatever choice you make, I, Romero Dmitry. And the Duchy of Dmitry will obey your judgment."

intense disagreement.

It was a matter that would be settled by Roman Dmitry's opinion.

whatever choice you make.

no one will question

In Dmitry, Roman Dmitry was such a being.

Okay.

end that conversation.

Roman Dmitry resigned from his seat.

walked down the hallway

As they moved, Lucas walked along and explained the situation.

"Dmitry suffered a lot of damage from this war. Despite all preparations, the opponent mobilized more troops than expected, and in particular, it is estimated that the Kronos Empire moved troops without using the 'warp gate'. We will investigate this in detail and report back."

Glancing, he looked into Roman Dmitry's eyes.

He couldn't predict how he would take the words that started from now on.

" And Kevin and Henderson are in very bad shape. In the course of protecting Duke Dmitry's residence, he was fatally wounded by the 6-star Aura swordsman mobilized by his opponent, and both are now on the brink of death. Henderson's condition is particularly serious. Last night I stopped breathing for a while, but fortunately, the therapist responded promptly, and I was able to get through the dangerous hurdle."

It was the light of war.

The fact that Dmitry had defeated Kronos was a huge achievement, but Lucas could not help but feel uncomfortable with beings wounded in the war.

Moreover, in the case of Henderson, it was the motive of applying for enlistment together.

While I was in charge of the information guild, I didn't have much time to socialize with others, but Henderson had a very kind personality, so I had a pretty close relationship with Lucas.

he like that

fell down

Hearing from the people of that day, just hearing about it made Lucas' face turn red.

"You mean he's not dead yet?"

Yes.

now.

He was heading towards the wounded area.

From the moment Roman Dmitry first arrived at Dmitry, he showed a calm expression that made it impossible to understand his intentions.

Even the cheers of people.

Even reunion with parents.

it was dull

And that, for Lucas, a certain fear arose.

* * *

Kevin and Henderson.

I looked down at the two of them who lost consciousness in the hospital bed.

Although the bandages were changed over and over again, the bandages on their wounds showed a reddish color.

said the therapist.

"I think today will be a turning point. With the best potions and the power of the priests, he is somehow holding on to the lifeline, but his condition is not so good. Kevin recovers a lot from his injuries, but he can't figure out why he's unconscious, and Henderson is badly wounded enough to break all his ribs, and even with the best potions, it's not easy to recover. In addition, the 'Aura of Darkness' is infiltrating the body, impeding recovery."

That meant death.

Although he was hopeful in his own way, the therapist indicated that he had gone beyond his treatment area.

'In the end, this is how it happened.'

suddenly.

A painful memory came to mind.

Of the four beings who followed Baek Jung-hyeok, they all survived to the end and did not enjoy the glory of wealth.

light horse.

He is dead.

In the process of dealing with Goo Filebang, he took over the battlefield without Baek Jung-hyeok, and although he fell into a trap, he led the war to victory after slaughtering numerous enemies.

In return, he died with weapons embedded throughout his body. In the process of subjugating the Moorim, there could not have been only pleasant things.

Just as if there is joy there is sadness, so the one whom Baek Jung-hyuk trusted the most had to die in return for his trust.

It was a grim reality.

The larger the domain you control.

The men had to take risks.

And the existence he trusted was rather risky to trust.

the day's work.

Baek Joong-hyuk was furious.

During the war, he knew that someone had no choice but to die, but he held a memorial service to the fact that he was a madman.

The place of the memorial service was the old file room.

The war at that time turned into a sea of blood and blood, and from then on, the sectarian Murim people, who had lost their spirits, hoisted their white flags one after another and declared surrender.

if.

Even if he could turn back time, Roman Dmitry would not overturn his choice.

Because he trusted Kevin and Henderson, there was no one better suited to defend the position he left behind.

It was the price of trust.

They did not betray their faith, risking their lives to prove the results.

'I have decided to live my life as a heavenly demon. My life has always been full of struggles, so I couldn't be the Roman Dmitry people say I am, just because my surroundings have changed. Therefore, the death of those who follow me is a natural result. The higher I aim the higher. If no one tolerates looking down from above, I have no choice but to walk on a dangerous path.'

expected

their sacrifice.

However, in the world he hoped for in the future, he could not solve all the problems on his own.

Unlike other times, in a situation where you can't make a choice.

As Roman Dmitry left for Valhalla to face the threat of his enemies head on, Dmitry chose to leave it to those he trusted.

It was a choice for Dmitry.

Dmitry had to prove that he couldn't collapse even with his own strength.

The results were ideal.

Although Kronos was defeated, Roman Dmitry's emotions were intense from the moment he arrived at Dmitry.

angry

It was different from my previous life.

Even then, he was angry at Gwangma's death, but he wasn't as passionate as he is now.

present life.

Accepted many connections.

He valued human relationships centered on himself a little more than his previous life, which pursued the path of defeat.

so that.

I couldn't let them die.

He decided that what he had endured until the end was the will of those who wanted to live.

"I will treat Kevin and Henderson myself. So, make room for treatment."

gave the order

The important issue now.

It was to save them.

moved place.

Roman Dmitry, who laid Kevin and Henderson on the floor, crossed his arms and placed his hands near their hearts.

"Starting with the source of life, contemplate the body."

evil.

Mana woke up.

The mana that rose from Roman Dmitry permeated their bodies, and very slowly touched their hearts and assimilated into their bodies.

One, two, three. My heart raced.

At first, his, Kevin, and Henderson's hearts beat arbitrarily, but from a certain moment, the three hearts beat at the same time as if they had been on purpose.

And then.

He drained mana in earnest.

The moment Roman Dmitry's mana reached the wound site, the assimilation of the senses caused excruciating pain.

'You must revive your vitality with the energy of innate (先天).'

treatment now.

It was a very dangerous way.

In his previous life, there was a being called God, and he gained great fame because he was able to save even dying people.

But when he died at the age of only his mid-20s. People knew the truth of God.

He didn't have great skills, but saved people by sharing his life force.

Roman Dmitry.

I chose that way.

The innate energy is the power that is innate at the moment of birth, and its wear-out meant death as a result.

some of that power.

Infused into two bodies.

Roman Dmitry was able to give away a portion of his life force for his subordinates because the energy of innate power was amplified as he entered the extraordinary realm.

Kevin and Henderson followed their orders and became what they were.

Even if this shortened their lifespan, they made sacrifices for something worthwhile.

as they sacrificed.

Roman Dmitry also accepted the sacrifice.

As the aura of innateness rose, the two bodies naturally regained their vitality and showed the power of self-reliance.

It was a difficult task.

Roman Dmitry's face grew pale and tired, and as time went on his body was drenched in sweat.

Even if he used the energy of innate nature, he could not immediately save it.

They will do their best to save their lives, but if Heaven does not allow them to live despite their efforts, the two will have no choice but to die.

but.

I didn't give up first.

Roman Dmitry fell into trance and devoted himself to the treatment of Kevin and Henderson.

War with Kronos.

There were many problems.

There were many problems to be solved, starting from the beginning of the war, the conspiracy of Valhalla, the existence of a warlock, etc., but Roman Dmitry left all the problems behind and focused on the reality in front of him.

This does not mean that practical problems are excluded.

When considering the success of the work, he simply decided that saving their lives was the priority.

That is.

This was the reason Roman Dmitry wanted to rise to the top.

Rather than prioritizing power to rule out the important, he needed power to do what he wanted.

one day, two days.

So time passed.

About a week had passed since then.

While Roman Dmitry devoted himself to treatment, people from outside began to take notice.
