A king who kills others, a god who kills himself – 10
A passage came to the wildcats.
The Golden Sutra can make anything, but it doesn’t make anything. His alchemy was only used for the sake of the golden kingdom, and all the works scattered throughout the nations were only grave goods buried with the golden kingdom. The seungnyang who live by rummaging through the grave often pick up and eat the crumbs with gratitude.
At that time, the golden mirror prepared for war.
It is said that war cannot be fought only with money, but without money, war cannot be fought. Weapons, provisions, war horses, carts, etc. Everything is money The items that Hwanggeumgyeong usually made were also valuable, but they could not be compared to the special warfare.
Even the seungnyang, who were frightened at the word to prepare for war at first, turned a blind eye when they saw the money pouring in front of them.
“Worth a war?”
“Kya. What’s this? Even if I steal one and sell it to another country, I can spend 10 years reveling!”
“Sell? hahahaha! These days, they say they pay full price for what wanderers sell? It’s good if you don’t get stabbed and go after it.”
There is a reason why the lord of the heat wave wished for war. War makes nations rich. Not because the war is won, but because the Golden Circle creates weapons.

Money has properties similar to river water. Both ride the mighty current and drive all kinds of floats. Equipment made by the Golden Circle is a property in itself. The seungnyangs who were cold to him gather, and the seungnyangs who were about to leave continue to stay. The news will flow through the wanderers and spread throughout the nations, and the wild beasts will naturally form a herd.
Legion of Nations. The moment when the great journey is about to begin.
“Hey, hey! Excuse me!”
“Why are you making such a fuss… uh?”
As if announcing the start of war, a huge snake slithered across the ground.
It was a large snake that seemed to have been poisoned with the earth. The body diameter alone exceeds 3m, and the length is unfathomable. The soil is cracked like scales, and the corn grows like a beard. The earth snake moved forward, shaking the ground.
It is clearly a monster that deviate from reason. It is said that there is a snake the size of a house in the great forest to the south, but at least it must be made of blood and flesh. On the other hand, it is artificial.
“It’s a monster snake! Run away!”
“Somebody made a snake! Whoever!”
The seungnyang, who were trying to run away, suddenly stopped.
“Wait. A snake made of earth? Isn’t that a work made by the golden mirror?”
“Because there is no one other than the golden mirror who can create such a monster.”
“So you’re on our side? Do you have any pilots?”
It was a valid hypothesis. The country would have thought similarly. The wildcats fearlessly circled around the earth snake. Since the Dirt Snake paid no attention to them, they withdrew their attention, convinced that the Dirt Snake was their ally.
Unfortunately, however, their confidence was misplaced. This earth snake was made with earth magic, not alchemy.
The regressor thought with the Jizan stuck in the top of the earth snake’s head.
‘Right. I, in this episode, got Jizan’s approval. You don’t have to hold it like a knife and wield it. Like Jiseon in the previous episode, you can fight by applying Earth Art.’
Of course, Jiseon won’t do it. The regressor did not learn geography separately, and he lacked understanding of the stratum and the earth. This earth snake recalled the appearance of Ji-seon in the previous episode and only imitated it, but it would not be as powerful as Ji-seon.
However, the mass of soil with a diameter of 3m is real. Even if you stick it somewhere, you can produce the expected effect.
‘… It is, though. If you go openly and confidently, you won’t be suspicious, so just go. What kind of scam have you been playing so strong-hearted? Can I have multiple lives?’
What. You only have one life, so you chose the best move. If you fight every human you meet as a half-poon earth snake, you will do well. It’s better to pretend to be the authority of the golden mirror and go calmly.
Of course, this earth snake can be attacked. Then, since the opponent is the golden spectacle, you can prepare for battle at that time. How comfortable
This is the royal road. It’s strange to take an apostle for nothing. If the goal is to go to Hwang Geum-gyeong, let’s go and see.
It was time for me to praise myself.
“… Why did you bring me?”
Peru asked in my direction.
Peru’s place among us now was ambiguous. Not a hostage, not an ally. I wasn’t particularly restrained, and I wasn’t very vigilant. I’d rather expect a little more.
It seems that he himself is also curious. I had a little bit of luck
“Hey, I have no malice, so please listen and don’t be offended.”
“… Worst already. It couldn’t be more obnoxious.”
“Then I’m glad! I will speak without hesitation!”
‘… It’s kind of annoying.’
I heard it couldn’t be more unpleasant. Well, emotions become unbelievable the moment they are spoken of, cancer.
I kindly explained.
“Peru will be on the side of the golden circle, but it’s good for us. Peru can’t use its power against us anyway, right? If Peru uses its ability, the golden palace made of alchemy will collapse.”
Elric told Peru that he shouldn’t use his strength. Even if you can’t read my thoughts, the reason is obvious. Because of Peru’s ability. The power to deny alchemy is a perfect counter to the Golden Sutra.
Well, I don’t think I can beat the golden mirror, which uses even the ground as an alchemical ingredient…. In any case, it is clear that he is a very difficult opponent.
“Even the other side knows that. That’s why you won’t be able to use a force big enough to get involved in Peru.”
“… I don’t care about my life.”
“No. It’s not Peru’s life that matters, it’s its abilities. If you get caught up in it and Peru uses its abilities, it will be really difficult.”
Peru will try not to use its abilities even if it is in danger of dying, but will the golden mirror know that? Fear comes from the unknown. The Golden Palace, not knowing Peru’s heart, will be very wary of Peru.
Well, actually, you don’t have to be vigilant. In the best case, the Peruvian survival instinct reacts at will after attacking at will. Then, whether we like it or not, Peru will eventually become our ally.
“Kya. The heart of Peru is on our side anyway! Very reassuring! I am proud of myself for discovering and embracing Peru in the first place!”
“… What I said, I will cancel. It can get even more unpleasant.”
Of course not. There is always more bottom at the bottom. It’s a pity that it’s a good feeling towards me….
I can’t help it. Because I can’t reveal the real reason.
Peru is a launchpad for unique magic. In order for me to use Peru’s unique magic, I must take it.
In order to reach the heart of the Golden Jing, it is necessary to break through the last resistance at the last moment. Perhaps that resistance was also made of alchemy. Peru’s unique magic will be my trump card.
Okay. A perfect plan. For a while I giggled inwardly.
Koo-Goo-Gung. The snake swayed loudly. We, who had been holding our breath in the snake’s mouth, rolled over at the impact. I held my breath and turned my attention to the outside, using the corn stuck inside as a handle.
Homunculi with wings hanging around the earth snake are gathering. It is the Juggernaut of the Golden Journey and the equipment and solvent that provides propulsion with the unique magic of the Thermal Explosion Master. The heat-blast master, who flew in flames, spoke to the regressor.
“If I saved my life, I would run away. Did you come here on your own because you wanted to die?”
Even in the face of a dead person, the regressor was calm.
“That’s what I’m going to say. I tried to say nice words, but they attack me all the time? Who knows that you can’t fight because you have no strength?”
The head of the hot bomb shook his head.
“… Strange. It is interpreted as saying that I want to fight.”
“Because it’s a homunculus, you can’t even understand words? Do you know how to interpret that?”
Shouting sharply, the regressor grabbed Jizan stuck in the crown of his head and pushed forward.
The earth that everyone believes to be solid actually moves, and its flow resembles a liquid when viewed macroscopically. Earth Sorcery, which realized its authority, moves soil and rocks according to its will. Great but… Iffy.
Unlike alchemy, the only way to use Earthspell in real life is to dig a pit, and that can be done without using Earthskill. Amongst the shovel and earth magic, it was because the former was the easier to prepare.
It is obviously mysterious and practical, but because it is not a very rare skill, Earth Sorcery was not well passed down except for the people of the Mother Goddess.
I’m rather fortunate.
The fact that earth sorcery is useful enough to harm humans was kept secret in the silence of the Mother Goddess.
I felt my body being swept backwards. The earth snake stretched out its twisted body. That massive body made of the ground crashed into the golden palace at a speed that was hard to believe it was the ground.
Koo Goo Goo Palace. The earth cries The dust rises hazy. The scattered dust also clung to the wings of the homunculus, interfering with the combustion process. The homunculi that were flying in the sky staggered in unison.
Inside it, a gust of wind rises, carrying a lot of dirt and sand.
The wind melts everything. The fragrance, the water, and even the earth. The wind that melts and carries everything in the world, and does not collect anywhere, is truly dignified.
A whirlpool of soil and sand rises high. It is as if a dragon is about to ascend to heaven. Human appreciation seems to be similar regardless of the East and West, and people in the old days named it Yongoreum after seeing it.
The regressor was similar.
Cheonji Geomgon, Bam Oreum.
The regressor holding the sandstorm like a sword shouted at the golden palace.
“I prepared this one too! If you want to fight like that, fight me first!”
After the most informal declaration of war, the regressor brandished a sandstorm. It was followed by a roar as if the world was splitting apart.
But it will be difficult to predict. That the power wielded like that was simply a show to attract attention.
Of course, that attack with the earth snake is definitely threatening, but it’s not enough to reach the golden mirror unless it’s a homunculus opponent. It is better to attack supernatural disasters such as the Golden Scenic rather than confront them on a scale.
Regressors know that too. That’s why I attacked with the maximum power I had.
To advance us into the gap where the world collides.
“Now let’s go!”
Bloodless entrance to the Golden Palace thanks to attracting attention from the other side. From now on, it’s thief’s time. I took advantage of the gap created by the regressor and went out….
“You’re stupid.”
When I went out, there was a man of steel standing in front of me. The homunculus, whose entire body was covered in armor, looked down with a cold gaze.
Oh, really. Because it’s difficult Normally, you can read ahead with mind-reading and either retreat or advance. All of them are homunculus, so I can’t read their thoughts. Do all ordinary thieves steal like this inconveniently? Respectful, really.
“The Golden Palace is the domain of the Golden Palace, and the Golden Palace is the god of the Golden Palace. There’s no way you’ll miss a foreign object inside.”
In his armor, he looked like he wouldn’t go through a needle. No, maybe there is no human body in there. But what does it matter That armor is moving.
What is important is not the inside or essence of human beings. Whether that fist can break me or not determines my attitude. In that sense, you should be polite enough against that armor.
Fortunately, I was polite enough. It’s because I’ve prepared an opponent suitable for him.
The armor opened its mouth.
“In addition, did you think you could sneak in with such a huge presence, Sijo?”
“You didn’t say anything because it was absurd, so you just decided on your own. I simply hated the sun, so I covered my body, so what? Do you think I will just hide from you?”
A bright red light flashed in the dark mouth of the earth snake. Originally, darkness is the absence of light, but it becomes a strength only for Sijo. Darkness flowed from the snake’s mouth like poison.
The darkness that gradually takes over the space. Among them, Tyr appeared leisurely as if he had gone on a picnic.
The homunculus showed signs of being wary. Not all approached closely, only their abilities were put forward. It seemed that he was wary of being dominated by Tyr.
From noble mtl dot com
Meanwhile, the armor said.
“… Are you alone?”
What is the true meaning of that word? Are you trying to check Tyr’s power, or are you wary of me who is still invisible? The former is fine, but the latter is a bit worrying. I hope you don’t mind me if possible.
Oh, really. Golden mirror. If you’re going to make a human, you’re going to make it right. Why did it have flaws so I couldn’t read my thoughts? It’s inconvenient!
As I grumbled and moved forward, Tyr smiled lightly and slung his parasol over his shoulder.
“Whoa. Can you afford to count the numbers before me?”
Clap. Clap. Footsteps echoed in the distance. It was the sound of dozens or hundreds of footsteps. It was as if a well-trained army was advancing.
However, no matter where you look, you can’t see the legion. Until the sound of footsteps approached me.
Eventually, when the sound of footsteps reached the place where Tyr was. From within the jaws of the earth snake, the black knights clad in steel armor stepped out. Ten, twenty, thirty…. And continue.
They are not the dark knights who only brought their shapes into darkness. They are wearing armor. The supreme armor created by the golden mirror himself.
A tool can be anyone’s. The golden scriptures were prepared for the nations, but if they are captured, they are ours. On the way back, I collected all the armor that had no owner and handed it over to Tyr.
Black knights wearing armor made from the golden sphere and moving with the power of Tyr. I’m not very strong because I was born with dirt… If you’re wearing hard armor, you can’t even be a jobber. After all, it’s a piece of equipment.
“I am the legion alone. Count if possible. It may increase further in the middle, so you will have to concentrate.”
“A bloody stigma!”
The power to wield dominance by branding it with blood. It is the dominance of vampires. Vampires whose boundaries between themselves and the world are thin can divide themselves and dominate. With this power, young Tyr led tens of thousands of his followers.
It’s not enough right now.
‘If it was like the past, I would have commanded over 10,000 corps… Right now, even with the help of blood magic, it’s all about 100 or so. The authority has obviously weakened. One….’
“Gap!”
The armor fired his fist without any warning. It is more like shooting than martial arts. Shoulders and fists go to Tyr’s face at the same time.
Tyr doesn’t have a good reaction. They do not have the heavenly vision like the regressors, and as they have an immortal body, they lack the sense of crisis that living things must have. When I noticed the attack of the armor, I was already on the verge of getting hit in the face.
It wouldn’t have mattered much if it was right, but there was a sense of rejection because it was her hair. Tyr reacted belatedly and hurriedly snatched her armor.
Kwadeuk, and the arm was ripped off.
Tyr is overpowered for her weight. So I can’t control the speed. The moment her arm went limp, there was a roar and one arm of the armor was uprooted.
The reason Tyr’s body couldn’t control his speed was the same. It’s literally instant. Stop playing Attacks that damage each other are meaningless to Tyr.
“… There is no reason to save the power you have. I guess I’ll have to use it a bit.”
Tyr pierced through the armor. No one was inside, but it didn’t matter. Let’s draw a brand with the blood of another homunculus while filling the inside with darkness… Armor has become Tyr’s faithful servant.
The homunculus poured out their powers all at once. The Black Knights charged. The preview war took place here, in the Golden Palace.
However, even this is bait.
‘Come back, phew.’
Tyr showed his presence more and attracted the attention of the homunculus. To cover my tracks.
And 1m below him where Tyr was fighting, I was making my way through the tunnel.
