“Whoa… … .”
Was it because the goal was too high?
[Samdocheon] was harder to maintain than I thought.
It gives me goosebumps.
It was only now that I realized the monster named Steel.
Until now, it was too overwhelming, so I couldn’t see it, but now that I can see it a little bit, it’s like this.
In fact, at that time, I was not strong even without a coward head.
“ha… … . Today is the day I became one with Oz-sama.”
“… … .”
won’t respond
Even if you react, it will be according to the number of targets of the opponent. I never react.
“… … I should brag about it to everyone.”
“I will not ignore you from now on.”
“of course.”
Now that I look at it, I just don’t have a choice.
In the end, I must have been a pitiful animal who only played with Baekyang’s taste.
“First of all, it was less than an hour. The question is what to do next.”
It is not a magic that can be maintained for a long time in the first place. Isn’t it magic that imitates the overwhelming existence of steel?
She is not a dragon, but she is stronger than most dragons.
“Listen, Alexios. We have two options left.”
“… … .”
Alexios, who had been staring through the mist nearby, only nodded and looked this way.
I’ve felt it for a long time, but the impression is dirty. He doesn’t look angry, but his expression is just angry.
“What are you kid?”
“Why are you fighting all of a sudden?”
Take good care of your facial expression.
I get annoyed just by looking at it.
“Okay, tell me about those two methods.”
“Oh yeah. The first is to keep the enemy and us separated from each other to the end of the magic.”
“Was it really Samdocheon?”
“It’s infinitely close.”
All of this fog-covered space could be considered my domain.
It’s not even a job to check who is doing what where.
It’s just that it doesn’t look like you’re looking down from the sky, but it feels like there are insects crawling in your head.
Very uncomfortable and painful.
“The advantage of this method is that it buys time. Because it spreads out to a fairly wide area.”
“Is there a possibility that the magic will be destroyed?”
“Who do you think I am?”
The title [King of Sorcery] is not worn out of fashion.
Compared to Salem, I’m far short of it, but I have the minimum qualifications.
I am the king of wizards
“But there are also downsides.”
As for the first agenda, the limit is to buy time.
We have to break through the encirclement of the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Knights are at the center of the Imperial Army’s power.
The movement speed of the two groups is obvious. You’ll catch up sooner or later.
You’ll have to figure out a new way out on the road to solve that.
Yeah, it’s just postponed in the end.
“Then what about the second?”
“We use this fog to defeat the knights individually as much as possible.”
In a sense, you could say that now is the best time.
Because you will be able to take down the opponent’s core forces by dividing them one by one.
“However, you must do this alone. As you can see, it’s quite difficult for me just to maintain my magic.”
“What are the downsides of the second method?”
“The fatigue that will occur in the process. If you can’t keep the right line, it’s over.”
Of course, each breaking wave carries some risk. It was because the opponent was said to be in some danger at the time of choosing that method.
Even the Imperial Knights couldn’t win 1:1 against Alexios. But what if it’s a 1:1 match?
Conversely, the exhausted Alexios could be defeated by the opponent.
However, I can’t stand to take a break from time to time to find and defeat opponents.
In other words, it is necessary to extract the maximum efficiency with the minimum investment.
We keep our stamina intact while weakening the opponent’s power.
“Is the location from you?”
“If you want, you can make the back of your opponent’s head appear right in front of your eyes.”
“Good.”
But Alexios knew how to choose a battle. Because he prefers frontal breakthrough rather than evasion.
“Prepare right away.”
thud!
Alexios stepped forward vigorously, correcting his posture.
As if a volcano erupted, heat waves scattered around his body, and the sun spread beneath his feet.
I plan on aiming for a short-term showdown.
“I will finish it soon.”
“Okay, let’s see if your skills will follow that pride?”
* * *
Imperial Knights.
‘Fearless man’ Richard sighed as he scratched the back of his head.
“I just remembered… … .”
“Do not say. Richard.”
“The one you were hiding under the hood, isn’t it steel?”
“I told you not to tell me!”
At Richard’s words, a nearby knight holding a sword screamed and slapped him on the back.
It was such a terrible imagination.
“No, isn’t that likely? That’s why it was hidden like that. It will be unconventional when it becomes known later.”
“If it’s really steel, we should run away with you, not in the way. Do you know?”
“No, wait a minute. Aren’t you curious? I’ve never seen anything called steel. Not much is known, isn’t it? Wouldn’t there be something like this to talk about later over drinks?”
“Because most of the people who saw it followed.”
“aha.”
A woman with the appearance of a typical knight with a sword and shield.
Laarte, the ‘Judge’, reprimanded Richard. Richard hates to work and gets into accidents because he is unnecessarily curious.
And it was always her who looked after him. Because she was just normal.
“Are you listening? If the opponent is really steel, we’re just dog death. Do you think I became a knight to search like this? If you’re going to search, search by yourself. Please don’t involve me, because I’m asking you.”
“When I die, I will ask you to come back.”
“… … If there’s someone to stab you in the back, it’ll be me. Richard.”
And it was when Richard and Larte were quarreling.
“… … not steel It’s magic. Well, it’s infinitely similar.”
Another knight who had been waving his staff in the air all the time.
“The golden number,” said Oliver, sounding absurd.
“Magic? Isn’t it steel? Oh, then I won’t. Not funny.”
“… … Second to this paycheck thief, how to unlock it? Oliver.”
“Is it magic that the King of Darkness asked me to drag on until time? You should wish for what you wish for. The payoff is too bad.”
“Oh yeah. Thank you for your realistic judgment. Thanks to you, one thing is certain.”
Larte shrugged.
One thing became clear through the conversation with the two.
“We are doomed.”
I was isolated with no solution.
To make matters worse, one of the three knights with him is already seriously injured, and the other two have no intention of working.
She was the only one here seriously thinking about the future.
“It will loosen up over time. It would have been easier if he was going to kill us.”
“Please calm down. Richard. Don’t be proud of something you don’t even know.”
“A man is always confident.”
“You keep your mouth shut, Quixote. It’s crazy.”
“I am not Quixote.”
“aaagh! Fuck!”
The conversation with the two idiots cuts Laarte’s mental strength in real time.
Even she needs to keep her mind straight. She is the only one who can make the right decision between two idiots and Lupine the salary.
“Oliver. For now, keep checking to see if there are any changes to the enchantment… … . Oliver?”
When Larte turned his head, the seat where Oliver had originally been was empty.
“Oliver… … ?”
The fact made Larte feel the hairs on his body stand on end.
Oliver is a wizard.
It is impossible to fool her senses and move stealthily.
No, there is no reason to act like that before then. Oliver was not a motivated person enough to take individual action in this situation.
Oliver said that the identity of this fog was not Kang Chul’s three swords.
But at the same time, I would have said something infinitely similar.
“Everyone on the alert… … ! uh?”
Larte, who hurriedly turned his head and was about to say a warning, froze.
There was neither Don Quixote nor Richard.
It wasn’t Oliver who was isolated.
“Are you the leader? It would be easier to break the head first.”
“Kwon Kwon… … sir?”
Aura like a volcano. Infinitely furrowed eyebrows and ferocious spirit.
Laarte started a conversation in a cold sweat at the overwhelming figure that made honorific words come out naturally.
“Let’s talk… … .”
“Look around.”
Alexios, of course, had no intention of hearing that.
* * *
The sorcerer called Oliver was silent and did not even respond to Alexios’ attack.
Seeing that an isolated wizard didn’t prepare a single defensive magic, it’s no wonder. He was a f*cking madman.
The guy called Don Quixote was neglected because he was still lying on the floor.
“Yes! Yes! oh oh oh! … … what is the next lyric anyway! and! right!”
As if there was no doubt that the surroundings had become quiet, he was singing alone now.
And unfortunately, the article called Richard could not be processed.
Aside from avoiding Alexios’ surprise attack, he had a nimble body, so he seemed unable to subdue him in a short period of time, so he retreated.
“therefore? Why did you ask me to bring this child?”
What Alexios brought was a woman who seemed normal.
He was being dragged by Alexios by the neck.
I am afraid of this child He behaves mercilessly even towards those who beg him like that.
“I hope the words will work. Shall we talk while moving?”
“Yes Yes! Conversation! Let’s talk! Please let us talk!”
“It’s up to you.”
The knight called Larte worked hard.
Even against Alexios, he showed enough performance.
However, it was too reckless to confront Alexios in the state of [Death Emperor] head-on. I wish I had a good fight against something like a living volcano.
The first hit was successful in defense, and the second was let go. However, the third attack broke the sword and the fifth attack distorted the shield.
And he was beaten unilaterally. Alexios did not listen even though he cried and begged. He was like a killing machine that wouldn’t stop until he completely silenced his opponent.
“What answer would you like to hear?”
“… … .”
Well, thanks to you, the conversation will be easy.
It would have been an annoyance if I was proud of myself for nothing, but I’m glad I did.

After defeating the third group of pursuers. Lucia sighed.
“What happened is that everyone had nothing but bullets for the purpose of killing?”
Lucia’s purpose is not treason. It’s just the preservation of the right to live.
That’s why I was trying to convince Stasia, and I didn’t want to make a bad impression by slaughtering the soldiers of the Empire.
She usually carries separate types of bullets for killing, subduing, and intimidating.
However, nine out of ten soldiers chasing her carried bullets for killing. Even if you try to replenish ammunition through looting, there is a problem.
“This, this traitor… … !”
“I was more saddened by the fact that I had no choice but to betray you than you who were betrayed.”
With those words, Lucia kicked and stunned the opponent who was glaring at her. Lucia, who was rummaging through the fainting man’s luggage before long, was serious.
The man was carrying only a killing bullet. Come to think of it, he also fired at her at the same time as the encounter.
Isn’t that really sad?
She was setting up a battle that assumed maximum suppression.
“… … This is a violation of international law.”
Moreover, they were carrying a number of weapons prohibited by international law.
It is a weapon that has lost humanity. Even in war, a weapon that could not be used recklessly was used against an individual.
“You want to kill me like this?”
It is a self-evident fact that if you are caught using these weapons, you will be criticized by other countries.
I took that risk just to kill her.
“It’s overestimated… … . If it was like this, they would give me a lot of salary.”
When I was a ally, I was treated as a miserable person, but now that I am an enemy, this is my evaluation.
Lucia let out a deep sigh, feeling the futility of life.
and that moment.
“The welfare of the empire is not good for the able-bodied.”
hooked!
The spear that flew along with the mischievous words pierced her body.
“Excellent, Lucia Punisher. I thought I hit a gap. But now I see that I have been lured in.”
“Kuh… … .”
The spear was clearly piercing her, but her body shook like a mirage.
[Schrödinger’s Cat], a special move that Discre Punisher created throughout his life, was erasing the reality.
“Oh, this is really bad… … .”
But rather than relieved, Lucia murmured in disgust.
“Come to think of it, I’ve wanted to say this for a long time. Thank you for being so close to my granddaughter. Lucia Punisher.”
A man clad in darkness.
Stolas Stillena, head of the Stillena family, landed on the ground, coloring the surroundings even darker.
