profit.
Ethan sensed a commotion outside.
It seemed that Robert and a dread predator were fighting a battle not far from where he was.
“I should join too.”
The opponent was a predator of fear.
It wasn’t Ethan’s wish for Robert to be left behind after trying his best against the dreaded predator.
So Ethan was supposed to join Robert’s fight.
“After dealing with this.”
Ethan’s gaze turned to the round table of kings.
kings’ round table.
When the first United Kingdoms were formed, it was a round table where kings held meetings.
In the world, it was a symbol of trust, an oath, etc.
And for Ethan, it was also a symbol of deception.
crumble.
Ethan pulled out a fragment of the round table from his bosom.
It had previously been obtained through Matilda.
Ethan took out the fragment and looked at the fragment of the round table and the round table of kings with jet-black eyes.
Tired.
The pitch black eyes showed a reaction.
At that moment, Ethan had a glimpse of the past.
* * *
bang!
A series of explosions sounded outside.
The screams and cries of the soldiers dying on the battlefield were also vivid.
Silence fell on the round table where the seven kings were gathered.
In the desperate situation in front of them, no one could speak hastily.
Now, this was before the seven kingdoms were called united kingdoms.
Saint Eileen was insisting on the unity of the heroes, but are the kings great men to move so easily?
The seven kings made excuses and ran to and fro.
In the meantime, each country was helpless in front of the Imperial Army.
The seven kings had always been skeptical in this despair and silence.
After a very long time, someone opened his mouth heavily.
“Now is the time to make a decision.”
Will you make a disgraceful surrender?
Or will the seven kingdoms unite and fight as one?
“Did he not attend after all?”
“yes. It doesn’t look like he’s coming.”
“Damn! Is it a prophetic mask? How can you hide yourself in such a momentous moment?”
The kings were outraged.
Their gaze rested on one part of the round table.
It was the only empty seat at this moment.
It was the seat of a prophet.
Prophet.
He was the one who saved the lives of the seven kings who were nearly killed in the Empire’s assassination or surprise, and made them gather in Central.
“Doesn’t anyone still know who he is?”
“You have no idea how much you hide your identity.”
“Once, when I tried to dig up the back using a letter, I got a call saying that I really need to know. Obviously, I have no intention of revealing my identity.”
“You managed to gather us here without ever seeing your face. I am.”
And following advice from some time ago, the seven kings gathered in Central.
There was one goal.
formation of the united kingdom.
“He took the lead in all of this, but he didn’t show his face. He is rude.”
“I thought I would be able to see you if you came here. tt.”
“You don’t have to wait for someone who won’t come. There is no more time to waste.”
I couldn’t take any more time.
Even the kings knew it well.
The king, who muttered resolutely, cut his palm with his dagger first.
This led to other kings shed blood on the round table.
It was an oath to form a united kingdom.
It was only for a moment that I doubted what would happen with this.
In the first place, the Round Table itself was prepared by the Prophet.
The oath made in blood at this round table could not be broken until death.
So it was a sacred act, and it was also a magical act.
This allowed the seven kings to make the absurd decision that the seven kingdoms were united.
That was then.
Light erupted from the round table filled with the blood of kings.
It was different from divine light.
It was bloody ominous like a curse.
A mass of red light clumps together to complete a single shape.
The kings who saw it muttered blankly.
“… branch?”
Something that looked like dried tree trunks was floating on the round table.
“It looks strange, but it came out of a pact, so he must have been right.”
“Now, as the Prophet said, we must hide this from the round table.”
There the memories of the past ended.
* * *
Ethan opened his eyes.
The appearance of the kings a hundred years ago has disappeared.
Instead, there was an empty round table in front of him.
Ethan glanced at the round table once and sat down.
If the officials of the United Kingdom had seen it, they would have been outraged.
Saying that an unqualified person is disrespectful.
This is because only kings can sit at the round table.
But Ethan calmly beat the round table.
“Hmm. You were having fun talking behind the scenes without me.”
The seat where Ethan sat was the seat of the ‘Prophet’ he had seen in his past memories.
And Ethan deserved the seat.
The Prophet who gathered the Seven Kings to Central.
Because he was Ethan.
A hundred years ago, Ethan could not let the Empire dominate the continent as it was.
So he put the lives of the kings of the seven kingdoms, and gathered them to Central so that they could fight the empire.
In a word, the United Kingdom was completed by Ethan’s hand from beginning to end, according to Ethan’s will.
So Ethan was able to sit at the round table of the kings with such skill.
‘Even though I did gossip, I did what I was told to do.’
Ethan looked at the round table.
“It must have been hidden here.”
Ethan was looking for what was made when the kings made a blood pact.
That’s why he came here despite his busy schedule.
If it had been the way it was, they should have come and checked it out before the war started.
‘But before the war, there were too many eyes to see.’
That’s why Ethan came here when the kings were secretly evacuated after Central was attacked.
Curse stem.
It was exactly what Ethan promised a hundred years ago, when he gathered the kings to Central.
He couldn’t come to Central just because those heavy buttocks saved his life.
So Ethan shook the bait.
He said that it would give him a chance to come up with a means of counterattack.
Ethan’s request for the seven kings to come together was dangerous.
However, I couldn’t help but be tempted to provide a means of counterattack.
Fortunately, the Curse Stem was never used.
Because the counterattack of the United Kingdom, including the Seven Heroes, was successful.
‘Thanks to that, the stalk of the curse still remains here.’
It was also the whereabouts of the cursed stem that Ethan was trying to confirm with his jet-black eyes.
As I fiddled with the lower part of the round table, I could feel a small blemish.
A close search revealed a small space.
“Here you are.”
Suddenly, something grabbed Ethan’s hand.
I felt a dry feeling.
“found.”
Ethan’s eyes lit up.
* * *
Meanwhile, at that time.
Robert and the Dread Predator were engaged in a fierce battle.
So did the mercenaries and dark followers around them.
It was impossible to predict the direction of the battle.
Shh!
Robert broke out in a cold sweat, avoiding the fist that was aimed at his face.
‘In this battle, only one side has to collapse to win or lose!’
In particular, it was the battle between Robert and the Dread Predator that would determine the outcome of this battle.
“Heh heh heh! You’re avoiding it.”
It’s like, ‘How about this!’ As if, the predator of fear aimed at the back of the mercenary who was fighting next to him.
“damn!”
He couldn’t let the other mercenaries get involved in his fight.
Desperately, Robert blasted the new model to block the fist of the terrifying predator.
Immediately, the fists of the dread predator slammed in as if prepared.
The battle between Robert and the Dread Predator was close.
But the balance of the scales was gradually tilting.
It was simple.
‘He’s deliberately targeting other mercenaries!’
The terrifying predator deliberately made the nearby mercenaries get involved in their fight.
It was a way to get Robert to save another mercenary and try to fill that gap.
Robert was usually silent when fighting.
But this time, he couldn’t help but be sarcastic.
“Your fighting style is lower than that of a mercenary.”
“It’s funny. Are you trying to decide whether it’s fair or not in this battlefield? I have to make a decision that I couldn’t make last time. uh?”
That was then.
“First, not the tail, but the subject that ran away has a long tongue.”
“What?!”
The terrifying predator wrinkled his face fiercely.
Ethan came to them.
“I am still struggling. Is the white wolf being pushed away?”
“What nonsense is that!”
Robert denied it with a hard face.
Finally, Ethan joined the battle between the two.
Seeing Ethan’s gloved hand, Robert was bewildered.
“Why do you want to intervene? Can’t you go back?”
Ethan was expected to join the battle between the mercenaries and the dark followers.
But he had no idea that Ethan would intervene in the battle against the terrifying predator.
If Ethan was wrong here, there was no way he could see Stella.
“Ha ha ha ha! That’s good. Hey, kid. That frizzy hair, I’ll fix it this time. I killed you!”
widely!
The Dread Predator greeted Ethan and clashed his fists.
Even though it was just fists hitting each other, the feeling of intimidation was enormous.
Ethan smiled broadly.
“Is that really possible?”
But Ethan also had some beliefs.
It was a new magical power set in Danjeon.
He was planning to test the new power of the divine magic that was raging like a storm in the danjeon.
Ethan sent divine magic power over his body.
An overwhelming power overflowed from Ethan.
divine power or magical power.
It was a force that could not be explained by either side, but it felt infinitely powerful.
fault!
Ethan blew a new model.
“What?!”
Robert didn’t even have a chance to reach out.
Ethan, who was beside him, appeared in the blink of an eye before the terrifying predator.
Obviously, I was keeping some distance.
“… … ?!”
Surprisingly, the same was true of the fear predator.
‘This little boy, the speed is different from the last time!’
Of course, it wasn’t a speed that neither Robert nor the terrifying predator could keep up with.
But that wasn’t the point now.
A boy who has not yet reached adulthood has secured the minimum physical ability to engage in a battle between Robert, the continent’s five swords, and the powerful Dark Follower.
That was disappointing.
shhh!
Ethan’s fists swung into the face of the Dread Predator.
The Dread Predator bluffed, barely dodging the fist.
“It’s still slow…ね!”
However, a series of attacks from Robert soon followed.
Paah!
Robert’s sword slashed the shoulder of the terrifying predator, and blood gushed out.
“I was distracted.”
The Dread Predator was devastated.
At best, it was true that he was careless as a boy.
It was because he had seen Ethan’s skills during the attack on Central.
However, Ethan now has a higher level of skill than then.
‘There is no way that my skills have improved in the meantime. Did you hide it then?’
The dread predator could not help but panic.
That thought gradually created a gap.
‘It’s going to be a tough fight.’
He instinctively felt that way.
If you get caught here, you will be at a disadvantage.
So I decided to shake the flow of the battle.
“Is it enough just to stop me here?”
“What?”
It was Robert, not Ethan, who responded to those words.
It was enough for one of them to bite the bait.
The terrifying predator raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
“Do you think I brought soldiers here just to destroy Central?”
“Is there any other trap?”
Robert was agitated.
But Ethan resolutely raised his hand to calm Robert down.
“it’s okay. That is what I have already prepared for.”
“Oh, you mean that?”
Unexpectedly, the two were calm.
The terrifying predator wrinkled his face.
“what? Now my words sound like bluff, is this?!”
“What is bluff? I thought you would come here and dug a trap, did you think I would leave you alone without understanding the rest?”
The predator of fear had intuition.
‘Maybe the plan… … .’
Ethan laughed as if he had seen the inside.
“okay. Your plans have already been read.”
