Fall of Kronos (1)

Captain of the Capital Guard.

Alvaro raised his head with a pale face.

He was engulfed in a sandstorm, and he was speechless, but what was important to him now was the scene unfolding before his eyes.

" Hey, what the hell is this?"

An iron-clad castle that Kronos is proud of.

was terribly broken.

One wall fell, revealing an open space, and around it, people could be seen scattered around the ruins of the fortress wall.

eyes twitched. Kronos finished all preparations for this war.

He promised that he could withstand any attack, but it was not a magic weapon, and he was struck by a single sword.

out of common sense.

It felt like the world of common sense was collapsing.

At the overwhelming sight Roman Dmitry showed, Alvaro was captivated for a moment.

'With just one blow, our plans were futile. I was planning to keep the battle as long as possible with the strong wall at the forefront, but if a hand-to-hand battle starts, I won't be able to hold out for even a day.'

messed it up

Alvaro got up.

Blood was dripping from his forehead as if he had been hit in the head, but he felt no pain from the maddening adrenaline.

From afar, I could see the troops of the Kingdom Union rushing in.

Even if it was the worst situation, it could not collapse as it is, so Alvaro had no choice but to choose the only way to solve this situation.

"Dark wizards. It is your turn to go."

self.

at that word.

The black robes stepped forward.

The Kronos Empire nurtured wizards on its own, and under the guidance of Alexander, they created a 'warlock group'.

It was a secret that should never be disclosed to the public.

It was an issue that could not be recklessly addressed even with Alvaro's authority, but the current commander, the Marquis of Memphis, was not present.

blast furnace.

made a decision

As Alexander's identity was revealed anyway, the fact that Kronos used black magic was already known.

For Alvaro, securing the safety of the empire was more important than complicated matters.

"Dark wave."

"Dark Wave."

sudden.

Curl rumble.

The warlocks unleashed magical powers.

Dark magic rising from them rose like a wave, gushing down the walls, and swept away the soldiers of the Kingdom Union.

The faces of those who were swept away by the magic of darkness turned black.

Those who were able to use mana at least protected themselves from dark magic, but those who did not were trembling and falling one by one with their faces completely drained of moisture.

next.

"summon zombie."

"Come out, you dead."

dead people.

They shone red eyes.

He abruptly got up from his seat and thrust his sharp teeth at the beings he had just been acquainted with.

"Kyaak!"

"The enemies used black magic!"

"Stand calmly!"

In an instant, the outside of the wall turned into hell.

Black magic is a magic specialized in killing, in which one wizard drives many people to death.

Only two spells proved that fact.

With the power of the Dark Wave, they take away the lives of people, and bring the dead back to life.

At the powerful magic displayed by the warlocks, Alvaro found his position and shouted at the soldiers who couldn't come to their senses.

"Everyone to location! Defend the wall!"

yet.

The war is not over.

Some of the walls had just collapsed, and the places Roman Dmitry did not attack directly maintained the shape of the walls.

Then the battlefield was limited.

If only the collapsed space is sealed well, if the Marquis of Memphis and reinforcements arrive in the meantime. He believed that he could somehow overcome the crisis.

And that.

It was an illusion.

A group of hordes, led by Roman Dmitry, pushed through the dead, and at the same time, a bright light flashed from the sky.

"Bless."

Curl rumble.

God bless you.

It was the divine power.

* * *

Master of divine power.

They were the priests of Luna.

With their hands clasped, they amplified their power under the radiant divine power.

"Bless."

"By the power of God, push the darkness away."

evil.

just a few years ago.

They did not manifest divine power as they do now.

In fact, the Luna Church was nothing more than a group that worshiped Saint Isabel, but the power used by Luna's priests has grown stronger in recent years.

The mother elf said that it may be a phenomenon caused by a dimensional rift.

Each dimension is clearly divided by borders, and as the demon realm exerted a powerful influence on the earth realm, the priests who worshiped the gods naturally increased their divine power.

of course.

It was nothing compared to Isabelle.

However, the power of the priests alone was enough to resist the dark magic that the warlocks expressed.

wickedness-

darkness has gone

A faint light arose from the bodies of the united kingdom soldiers, and they did not appear to be dyed in darkness any longer due to the blessing of divine power.

At the same time, the power of the dead also weakened.

As they screamed at the divine power and retreated, the soldiers rushed in like crazy and blew the dead man's head off at once.

die!

puck.

It was the beginning of a counterattack.

one two.

The situation was reversed.

The soldiers who overcame the dark magic quickly cleaned up the dead, and because they could not produce new ones, the magic of the warlocks did not exert their power.

The warlocks used additional magic in succession.

A follow-up was attempted with an aggressive magic, but at that time, Edwin Hector had detected the opponent's existence.

"Fire Rain."

Hwareuk.

gurgling rumbling.

above the sky.

the rain fell

The warlocks stopped attacking magic and used defensive magic, but when Felix used additional magic, the beings on the wall were swept away at once.

The warlocks were not Alexander.

As long as Edwin Hector and Felix endured, they could not gain the upper hand in the magical confrontation.

Dmitry's magical power.

It was also the highest on the continent.

While the warlocks hesitated for a moment, a situation that Alvaro did not wish for unfolded before his eyes.

"Attack!"

"Follow your lord!"

This time as always.

His enlisted men, led by Roman Dmitry, rushed inside through the collapsed wall.

* * *

Soldiers following the vanguard.

There was no hesitation.

There was no fear.

After Roman Dmitry confronted his enemies first, the circumstances that followed gave them strong confidence.

Quang!

Curl rumble rumble.

annihilation.

The entire space swept by the Celestial Swordsmanship became ruins.

The enemies who were trying to stop them somehow disappeared without a trace, and all eyes were focused on only one Roman Dmitry.

So Dmitry's enlisted men did not feel fear.

Thinking of being like the gods of a previous life, they spread everywhere, suffocating the barely surviving enemies.

"Great!"

"Uh-huh!"

among them.

By far the best was Kevin.

Roman Dmitry, the beings who escaped the disaster, faced Dmitry's demon that followed.

"Lord, die!"

The imperial army shouted like an exasperation.

With a pale face, he pierced the spear, but Kevin unleashed an attack with a ghostly movement and ripped open the opponent's chest.

Blood was splattered everywhere.

Kevin penetrated the soldiers and killed indiscriminately, opening a new path in a space away from Roman Dmitry.

poof.

burr.

The knight trembled.

Seeing their colleagues collapsing as they were, the knights of Kronos flocked in unison.

"Cooperate!"

"The opponent is Dmitry's demon. Abandon Roman Dmitry and deal with this guy first!"

changed the strategy.

Roman Dmitry was out of the question.

When he couldn't come up with a way to defeat him, the knights of Kronos attacked Kevin, who seemed to have the best chance of winning.

If we let Kevin go wilder, the damage wouldn't be too great.

The sound of metal clashing was heard from all directions, and dozens of knights rushed towards Kevin at once.

Kwareung.

Curl rumble rumble.

die!

dozens of knights.

They were all aura swordsmen.

From 5 to 3 stars, the people who considered themselves to be excellent swordsmen acknowledged Kevin's existence and were not ashamed to attack him.

All around was sparkling.

The powerful aura storm seemed to sweep away Kevin's existence at once, but Kevin's movements were astonishingly drastic.

Quiet rumble rumble.

Aura in the middle.

stepped into the storm

He found a space in the storm that ripped it apart, and did not miss the moment of his opponent's gap.

flash.

"Great!"

It's like.

It was like an animal.

He bit his opponent's chest with a glowing ferocious gaze, then vanished into the storm of aura once more, blocking all attacks that came against him.

It was a breath-taking situation.

However, Kevin has experienced numerous battlefields in the meantime, and he has been accustomed to this level of situation.

This.

It did not belong to the dangerous axis.

Dazzling and agile, he avoided each attack one by one, and always attacked an unexpected blind spot at the end.

this time too.

The knight's head flew off.

Kevin slaughtered every enemy he faced with a blood-drenched face.

He swung his sword like crazy.

The end was in sight.

As the last remaining knight rushed at him with a look of terror, Kevin blew off one of his arms at once.

blood splashed

The knight rolled his eyes.

Still, I decided that there was a clear chance of winning against Kevin, but I couldn't take the moment I experienced and witnessed in my head.

An empire is an unbreakable fortress.

Living as a knight of the Kronos Empire, he had never thought of such a shabby ending of being defeated even after cowardly trying to win.

was that so

"Sir, please save me."

The war was still in full swing.

There was a fight going on in the vicinity of each other to death and death, but the knight unwittingly said surrender in a sense of despair he couldn't handle.

Even so, I wanted to ignore reality.

It was impossible for him to accept that the life he had built through fierce competition and hard work ended in such a futile way.

on that look.

Kevin groaned.

"Well, we shouldn't have started a war in the first place."

flash.

A sword that blows away the head as it is.

Kevin turned around with a calm face, slowly following the trail of Roman Dmitry, who was too far away to catch up with him.

* * *

The situation was hopeless.

With the massacre taking place everywhere he could see, Alvaro could not make a normal judgment.

And above all else.

Kaang!

' Are you going to stop this?!'

Burning Aura.

Alvaro was a whopping 5-star aura swordsman, but a figure presumed to be an ordinary soldier was able to block the aura while distorting his expression.

It was a situation that really looked like it was going to roll back.

The aura of 1 star is weaker than the aura of 2 stars, the aura of 2 stars is weaker than the aura of 3 stars, and the aura of 3 stars is weaker than the aura of 4 stars.

However.

Alvaro clenched his teeth at the sight of a soldier blocking an attack with an aura that could be described as crude compared to himself.

"What a filthy bastard!"

Kaang!

Kaka Kaka Kaka!

pushed the soldiers.

Neither Roman Dmitry, the best swordsman on the continent, nor Chris, the flash of Dmitry, nor Kevin, the demon of Dmitry were dealing with.

An ordinary soldier who cannot recognize a single face. Against him, Alvaro pushed hard.

The fact that he looked precarious and did not fall down scratched his insides, and it didn't matter to him what status Dmitry's enlisted men had within Dmitry.

sure thing is

The opponent was just an ordinary soldier.

The outfit he wears proves that fact, but he was upset because he couldn't knock him down at once.

pod.

Blood spattered from his face.

It was a brief difference.

When the opponent risked his life and let out a blow, Alvaro finally pushed the opponent into a corner.

Quang!

Quiet rumble.

Destroyed the aura

He smashed his opponent's sword and cut off his chest, and in the midst of that, he cut off the soldier's breath with a face supported by evil.

The opponent's mourning has become a mess.

Alvaro let out a heavy breath, which had been ripped to pieces by his aura, and tattered to the point where he couldn't even recognize his shape.

"Whoop, whoop."

The joy of victory?

There was no such thing.

It was embarrassing.

Seeing himself struggling like this even against ordinary soldiers, he belatedly faced the desperate reality.

'This is Dmitry.'

I found out then

war in the past.

The reason that Dmitry was able to turn the absurd situation around was that even if the existence of Roman Dmitry was excluded, the abilities of those who followed him were also supported.

It was a war that had already ended.

From the moment the wall that had been firmly prepared for so long collapsed and the black magic stopped working, there was no way to stop the attack of the Kingdom Union, led by Dmitry.

why.

What magic did Dmitry use?

He couldn't understand how in such a short time he could become strong enough to corner the empire.

Alvaro hurriedly retreated.

After retreating as far as possible from the entangled battlefield, he summoned his lieutenant to find his only hope.

"The Marquis of Memphis! Where the hell is the Marquis of Memphis?!"

before battle.

Upon reports of an attack on the Imperial Palace, the Marquis of Memphis quickly mobilized troops and disappeared to support it.

According to further reports.

There were no intruders.

Then I had to come back.

The Marquis of Memphis, not himself, had to lead the situation, believing that he, who knew a lot, would come up with a solution he was not aware of.

And elite troops followed the Marquis of Memphis.

Desperate for their help, Alvaro looked at the lieutenant in charge of communication with a desperate expression.

However.

The lieutenant gave the worst answer Alvaro didn't want with a look of despair.

" I called a dozen times, but never received a call. Apparently, the Marquis of Memphis gave up the war and fled."

at that word.

stand tall.

Alvaro stopped all accident circuits.

giving up the fight

It was, indeed, the worst development that should have ever happened.
