151. lion king
“I won’t stop myself.”
Silence settled in the king.
“Yes, yes?”
The servant stuttered. He was, to put it mildly, dumbfounded.
I dare to disrespect His Majesty, but what kind of nonsense is that?
No matter how much they fight across the heavenly barrier, they say that two or three most evil beings are coming, but to stop it alone.
‘…no.’
However, Do-yoon really thought that if it were two corps commanders, he might be able to stop it alone.
It would have been close to impossible until just a while ago, but now that Doyoon had brought out his enlightenment, it was truly impossible.
The proof was that his will, which had become clearer, was burning brightly, as seen in his pupils.
Of course, the servants thought differently.
“Yeah, but it’s an army that includes corps commanders! Be sure to make sure!”
“Please contact me, Your Majesty!”
“Well.”
The Lion King scratched his chin. he said with a laugh.
“Well, I guess I should prepare.”
There was no reason to disband the gathered forces. The one before was just an expression of confidence as a pillar of the union.
In fact, the Lion King’s unique atmosphere, indescribable energy, and overflowing confidence were able to relax the atmosphere a lot.
It was a situation that seemed completely hopeless. However, with the appearance of the Lion King, who was incomparably stronger than before, an atmosphere was forming that it was worth trying.
The Lion King nodded his head at the servant who spoke out.
“Open the treasure chest.”
It was a carefree tone, as if to eat, but the weight was different.
Muspelheim’s treasure chest is the Union’s treasure chest. Isn’t Do-yoon’s cloak, which is really useful, also a product from that?
Even though it was an emergency, it was a decision that was deeply concerned about the leakage of local wealth.
The Minister of Finance trembled and opened his mouth.
“Lungs, Your Majesty. Complete unlocking is…”
“Wouldn’t it be nice to rent a car? At least the top 100 apostles should be fully armed.”
“However, the possibility of being lost during the war… that, each one of them has enormous value…”
“Anyway, tomorrow, when the walls and Muspelheim turn to dust, they will fall into the hands of the enemy. I will not take any questions.”
“Yes, yes… I will honor your name…”
The Minister of Finance eventually bowed his head.
Then, suddenly, the lion king’s gaze touched Doyoon’s cloak.
“that?”
“Ah, Apostle Han Do-yoon borrowed the ‘Black Rang’s Cloak’ from the Muspelheim Treasury about three months ago.”
Doyun was puzzled. It was because the lion king’s eyes were strange.
“…it suits you well.”
Soon, Doyoon was able to know the identity of that emotion.
‘…was he keeping an eye on it?’
However, it seems that the cloak of fire attribute worn by the Lion King is of a higher rank.
“It’s well-designed… and has a great name…”
In the eyes and tone of the Lion King staring at the cloak, regret dripped.
‘…Really because of the design?’
It was a childish look that cut the face of the king. The warriors also looked at him with ridiculous eyes.
Even though he didn’t seem to care at all.
“…it is usefully well written.”
“Um… yes.”
After a moment of awkward silence, the Minister of Finance spoke from the side.
“It was a 6-month contract, so the repayment period is coming soon…”
“Take it.”
“Yes?”
Instead of Doyoon, the Minister of Finance asked a question.
“It suits you well. just have it It is the repayment of the debt.”
Doyoon tilted his head in wonder. Wasn’t he eyeing the cloak?
Anyway, really good news. However, since it was in front of the king, Doyoon put it aside as a matter of etiquette.
“No matter what, this precious thing…”
“Well! Yeah, just take it, right? I think so too.”
“…?”
…what? Are you suddenly changing your mind?
The Lion King’s eyes twinkled.
“Instead, when the war is over, have a meal with my daughter.”
“…”
Do-yoon did not affirm it.
It’s a bit broken, but it was a condition where he had nothing to lose.
“…I will use it with gratitude.”
“It’s a good deal. Well!”
The Lion King salivated as if he was really satisfied.
Strangely, however, the fact that Doyun and the other warriors gave him the cloak he had been eyeing came to him more than the fact that he transferred a valuable treasure.
In many ways, he was a very different person from King Seong.
“Then let’s go to the treasure house. The warriors decide to go and choose for themselves. Doyoon Han, you too.”
“Yes.”
Muspelheim, the treasure house of the kingdom called the capital of the union. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.

Just like that, the last night in Muspelheim before the war ended.
+++
A night illuminated by a bright moon.
Doyoon quietly sat by the window and did the last maintenance.
The room was very spacious. He is now a distinguished guest who is treated like a warrior in name and reality. After the king and queen’s room, the best room was assigned.
He sat by the moonlit window and sharpened his sword.

Jupiter’s clear blade illuminated the full moon and the cloud masses that flowed in front of it.
Do-yoon put down the polished sword and picked up the spear he received as a gift from the Lion King today.
[Gáe Bolg]
(A harpoon forged from the vertebrae of Coinchenn, a ferocious sea monster, by Bolg Mac Buain, an ancient sea warrior.
A Kenken was a sea monster with numerous spines extending in all directions from its spine. The thorns, delicate as needles but tough as rose stems, always had rotten fish flesh attached to them. The thorns were so numerous and dense that no skin could be seen through them, and no lore could explain Kenken’s skin color.
When Gáe Bolg hits an enemy, he sprouts countless spikes from all of his spears. This thorn contains the power of redemption.
Again, it’s ‘whole creation’. Be sure to use it only as a javelin, avoiding the end like the warrior Bolg Mac Bane.)
It is the fourth javelin following Heineken’s Cheonji Spear, the sister spear of the wind.
‘Should I make a javelin collection or something?’
Do-yoon thought stupidly and wiped the rough window with a cloth.
Gáe Bolg is also a treasure-level item. Not only does it sprout thorns, but it is a new soldier with the power of redemption.
If you are properly threaded through its thorns, even the corps commander won’t be able to escape easily.
‘I received a very nice item.’
Moreover, it was a complete transfer, not a rental, only to Doyoon. Same with the cloak. Although it was because of the debt caused by solar production and enlightenment, he was a very generous nobleman.
However, as if worrying and worrying were sticky and stretched, Doyun’s hand as he wiped his hair gradually slowed down.
“…”
Doyoon felt his heart pounding with tension.
‘…I don’t feel good.’
The Lion King also returned stronger than before. Arrangements are also made through the Holy King. Doyoon also became strong enough to stand against the corps commander to some extent.
‘But why?’
What on earth is this anxiety? What is it that upsets his senses so much?
Can we really win this war?
“…”
He set the window against the wall, closed his eyes, and leaned back in a soft chair. I covered my eyes with my arms and rested.
After a while, Doyoon recited.
“sorry.”
I put my arms away and opened my eyes.
Luna appeared before he knew it and was looking at him under the moonlight.
“You worried me.”
As always, Luna had an icy expression, but Doyoon could feel her concern.

Just as Doyoon felt her heart, she must have felt her father’s agitation.
After staring at Doyoon for a long time, Luna’s lips parted.
“…I will protect you.”
At the unexpected sound, Doyoon opened his closed eyes again.
Did Luna just say that?
“…”
pick. A foolish laugh broke out.
“Thank you, Luna.”
he closed his eyes again. The corners of his mouth, visible under his arms, seemed more comfortable than before.
“…”
Luna stared at him for a long time with her characteristic expressionless expression.
As the clouds passed over the moon, darkness fell in the room. When the moonlight raised its head again, Luna was not there.
However, Doyoon melted into the darkness of the room and could feel Luna watching him.
Sensing her presence, Doyoon fell asleep comfortably in a soft chair.

Doyun and the warriors, including the Lion King, climbed on top of the wall and looked at the battlefield.
The Heavenly Geukrajibyeok (天上極砢至壁) is a fierce battleground where a lot of blood and bombing has been shed for decades. Of course, in front of it is a bony wasteland.
Beyond the horizon, I could see the setting sun and the scarlet sky.
Do-yoon admired the grandeur of the heavenly paradise wall (天上極砢至壁), which he had never seen before.
‘This means that it stretches across the entire continent.’
As if looking down from the top of Mount Tai, it is a dizzying height, and its thickness alone reaches several tens of meters. I assure you, it must be the largest building in human history.
Even though there were enormous sacrifices in the process of construction, anyway, the strongest wall in the world that has kept the union without Enoch so far.
It definitely deserved to be called a great achievement.
Doyoon looked back.
Behind them, soldiers are constantly servicing water-based equipment and moving various supplies.
In addition, on the ground inside the walls, in preparation for the worst, the continent’s highest level apostles were lined up tightly. Most of the forces of the coalition gathered here.
Originally, the spears and knives that would have stabbed each other repeating the history of conflict gathered in one place against the great evil called the Demon King’s Army. for survival.
And today, they will decide their own destiny.
Doyoon walked and headed towards his teammates. They were escorted by magic soldiers.
“Dad!”
Tia leaned over and Doyoon hugged her.
The battlefield is too dangerous for Tia. However, since she had to play a very important role, participation in the war was inevitable.
“Tia, do you remember what Daddy told you to do?”
“yes! I just practiced that with my mom yesterday too!”
Doyoon smiled and stroked Tia’s head as she shouted confidently.
Then he looked at Sophie, who, like Tia, had a big role to play.
“Sophie.”
“yes.”
“please.”
The two exchanged meaningful glances.
When she first heard of her mission, she was quite surprised, but it wasn’t too difficult after all.
All you have to do is do what your boss says. she made up her mind
“Just leave it to me…!”
Nodding his head, Doyoon came back and looked at the end of the horizon.
The sun, which gradually descended to the ground, hides over the horizon. The sunset began to set, and dusk piled up sparsely over the wasteland.
Everyone who finished preparations started looking in the same direction as the warriors, and after a while.
“…came.”
The Demon King’s army arrived.
Everyone was nervous, and each grabbed the weapon, ballista control stick, and staff.
The first thing you see is a group of blacks appearing from the edge of the horizon.
Doyoon raised his eyes and looked.
“It’s an imp.”
In this war, including the corps commanders, the most attention was paid to Satan’s army of imps.
According to the intelligence, each one of them is a monster with a high rank apostle level weaponry, and when about 20 of them gather, it is said that even the highest rank apostles will be overwhelmed. Not only when Satan was active, but even stronger than when Doyoon faced him nine months ago.
“But, to think that things like that come in such a horde…”
If we can’t suppress them early with mass tactics or concentration of firepower, this war will be really difficult.
The magic-type apostles who had heard the story in advance glared at them, swallowing saliva.
But something was strange.
“…uh?”
As time passed, the more the enemy appeared, the more the generals’ fingertips trembled.
At first, the size of the swarm of imps revealed was about the size of the sun across the horizon.
However, the more they crossed the horizon, the more they appeared, the bigger and wider the size of the imp swarm.
“why…”
No matter how much time passed, the march of those encroaching on the horizon continued.
“Why… never ending?”
Eventually, from end to end, the entire horizon was dyed black.
“…”
“That… what…”
It was as if a black tsunami was coming.
High-class soldiers, satanic troops, imps, each of which is equivalent to a high-ranking apostle. They became the black sea and swallowed the wasteland densely.
How many? hundreds of thousands? No, not even a million.
what is the country Truly, an army that seemed to be able to conquer the continent with just that without a military commander.
Someone opened their mouth in vain and let out a death sigh.
“…ah.”
They sensed the demise of the Union.
