It’s hard to leave home (8)
The death sentence that Ye Lien received was undeniably democratic.
In this spacious imperial palace, there were only four people, including herself, who opposed her execution.
It’s okay to ignore the opinions of only four people.
Originally, it is the privilege of the majority to f*ck the minority.
But that doesn’t mean that the minority should not be silent.
It was the right and duty of the minority to give a damn to the majority who ignored them.
If we don’t protest loudly at a time like this, who cares about the opinions of the minority?
Therefore, Chris, an earthling, decided to fulfill his duty as a member of a democratic society.
Outside Ye Lian’s residence, beyond the Jangji Gate, the large and splendid Imperial Palace of the Qin Empire was burning beautifully.
All the people who had filled the imperial palace fled.
Heat, confusion, and noxious carbon monoxide filled their void.
The smoke screen that Chris envisioned was successfully completed.
The scale of the fire was so large that I was worried that there would be innocent victims, but… … .
This place is known as the Imperial Palace of the Empire.
It’s not a place where you can burn up just because you set a fire with firecrackers.
If everything is burnt, it will be the responsibility of the guards who failed to put out the fire.
That’s how Chris shifted his steps, putting the blame on the petty guards.
The assassination of Ye Myung, the first step in the plan, was successful, but not one person had to die today.
Running away with Ye-ryun in this vast country would be a very difficult task.
It’s a long and rough road, and if they send a chaser, it’s obvious that I’ll really hate to live.
So, Chris’ solution was to kill almost everyone who could have sent a pursuer.
The maid and the shaman lost their voices when they heard of his wonderful plan.
‘From now on, I have to increase this confusion as much as possible so that I don’t care about Ye-ryun’s disappearance.’
If their house is on fire, they’ll tolerate a few rats running away.
While Chris was crossing the fence of the prince’s palace, a great commotion erupted from below.
Ye Myung’s men, who moved to hit him, returned after seeing the flames.
When they spot Chris, everyone draws their weapons.
“U-Why did he come out of Prince Ming’s palace?”
“You go to the prince right now! The rest, kill him!”
The stage names were carefully selected in their own way, so they judged the situation quite quickly.
Chris gladly responded to their hospitality.
It wasn’t nice to consume my stamina already, but I hated passing them even more.
As he summoned Origin Epic and activated his skill at the same time, the backs of the warriors who attacked him all at once were sliced off.
“Shield of Faith, Half Moon Cham!”
An absurdly wide attack range for a swordsman’s skill.
Eastern warriors who had no tolerance for status windows opened their mouths wide after tasting the shocking news of the Western world.
The skills refined during the fierce battle completely overturned their common sense.
Chris, who cut down eight people with a single shot, climbs the wall of the imperial palace and heads to the palaces of other members of the imperial family.
“Uh, what? Chase!”
The warriors, who did not expect him to run away, hurriedly pursued him.
Those who were frantically chasing Chris soon ran into other warriors.
As they cheered at the arrival of the reinforcements and tried to pincer Chris, spears flew from the other side.
“Back off! How dare you step in here!”
“for a moment! That guy’s stage name is Prince… … !”
The warriors who were chasing Chris noticed the situation belatedly.
The place he fled to was the palace of Ye-jin, a rival for his stage name.
The imperial palace is on fire in the middle of the night, and warriors with false names suddenly try to break in.
Only then is it natural for Yejin’s escorts to respond vigorously.
Chris, who had been aiming for that from the beginning and plotting the route, took advantage of the confusion and broke into Yejin’s residence.
Ye-jin’s body, stiffened by the sudden uproar, split in half with a scream.
Chris’ demonic sword greedily sucked the blood of the royal family.
A dried up corpse like a mummy was left in the place where the blade cut through.
“this… You bastard!”
Chris left without properly listening to the protests of the escorts.
The magic sword in his right hand trembled slightly.
As he was on his way to the next imperial residence, soldiers in clothes he hadn’t seen before appeared in front of him.
Chris, who noticed the identity, scattered his sword strikes with a small click on his tongue.
“Half-moon strike, runaway flash!”
When the skill that swept the entire surrounding space was activated, the ashes and embers that had been scattered like crazy disappeared for a while.
However, the royal guards in the imperial palace reacted calmly by widening their distance.
From noble mtl dot com
Much better than the personal escorts of the princes.
These are strong men who have been trained to move as an army.
Contrary to the prudent response of the opponent, Chris, who became impatient, risked the consumption of magical power and summoned the demonic palace of the phoenix.
The flame bullets fired immediately burned the guards with dazzling flames.
There were so many opponents tonight that there was no time to exchange sword attacks one by one.
He drew the bowstring and reloaded it while aiming at the center of the vast imperial palace.
“Huh!”
The magic power sucked into the demon palace was transformed into an arrow and pierced into the emperor’s residence.
A powerful protective spell spread around the building, so it couldn’t penetrate.
However, it was possible to forcefully return the guards who had been dispatched to quell the situation.
The primary goal of the Qin Imperial Guard is to protect the Emperor.
Even if I were to lie in bed and do it today and tomorrow, I couldn’t let an unknown traitor die.
There are 40 candidates for the emperor, but there is only one emperor.
Whether the stage name dies or Yejin dies, it can be replaced by someone else, but not the emperor.
Chris, who watched the torches flocking to the center of the palace, smiled with satisfaction and moved on to the next destination.
But before he can take a few steps, a fire breaks out in the air.
The flame that completely drove away the surrounding darkness took the form of a large bird and looked down at Chris.
“Who dares to test the protection of Suzaku! The imperial family of the Qin Empire is under my protection!”
“You only come out and shout loudly after the imperial palace is attacked.”
Chris continued running, ignoring the incarnation of Suzaku.
It seems that he has increased his enemies by doing useless things, but Shinsoo and Priests are no match for him anyway.
Ju-jak, who was lighting up the sky in the imperial palace, threw sparks at Chris, who was ignoring him.
However, the flames of divine power did not burn his body.
Jujak, who recognized Chris’ identity, exclaimed in a shocked voice.
“Oh no? Why is the long-lost god-hater here… … .”
‘uh? This bastard, do you know about the epic class?’
I wanted to listen to the story over a cup of tea, but the situation was not very good.
As he jumped over the fence to hunt the next imperial family, his path was blocked by priests in red.
It seems that Suzaku sent his priests ahead of time.
He wasn’t very smart, knowing that he was a god-hater.
‘As expected, he sleeps with a bird’s head.’
“Catch it!”
As soon as the priests of Suzaku found Chris, they attacked ferociously.
When Chris cut the priest holding the spear vertically, the opponent’s body turned into flames.
The priest, who became a shimmering flame, received the magic longsword without difficulty.
Surprised by the unexpected witchcraft, Chris was hit by a counterattack and rolled on the ground.
“Somewhere, try cutting through the flames with a sword!”
The priests, who were talking briskly, opened fire on the fallen Chris.
Chris hurriedly creates a dark sphere, but it quickly disappears because there are too many opponents.
Flames pouring down recklessly take over all directions.
Buying time with the ring of the demon dragon he protects, he summoned a black chain. There were other skills, but there was nothing like this to counter the priests.
‘Do they treat people as water when they hit them?’
The pissed-off Chris took the holy-sealing chain in his hand and swung it like a whip.
The black chain flew in, erasing the flames, and hit the priest’s chest.
The heavy chain hit the chest, and it was pitted like a dented aluminum can.
Chris wasn’t familiar with the whip, but he managed to use it thanks to his superhuman strength and senses.
Confused by the unexpected attack, the priests tried to avoid the whip in the form of flames, but the chain of divine seal forcibly canceled their transformation.
They harpoon both attack and defense, and if they get hit even once, they turn into bloody cakes, so they can’t stand it.
At least, he tried to encircle them using his numerical superiority, but Chris found the answer right away.
“Divine Seal, Divine Seal, Divine Seal!”
When he summoned a new chain and wove it into the chain he was holding, the number of whip heads increased to nine.
Chris displayed his transcendent strength and swung it with all his might.
A storm of ferociously swung chains sweeps his front cleanly.
Blood, pieces of flesh, and pieces of metal terribly soiled the roads of the imperial palace.
The priests were instantly turned into pieces of meat.
The few survivors fled from him, completely losing their will to fight.
Chris, who decided not to pursue them, resumed his movement and assessed his own condition.
‘Did I scream too coolly out of anger?’
It hasn’t been long since the fight started, but it’s already consumed more than 30% of mana.
The level of enemies is not very high, but the number of enemies is too high.
I’m used to fighting the majority, but… This time, it was much harder than usual because it was fighting without Illesis or Tyrone.
After dealing with several members of the royal family again, Chris soon encountered new enemies.
Unlike before, the sense of crisis that rises up the spine.
Through the thick flames and smoke, two men appeared.
One is Baekryongmun’s leading disciple, Hyeoncheong, whom he dealt with previously.
The other was an old man whom he had never seen before.
Like the prefectural office, the old man in a white uniform greeted me kindly as if I were meeting an old friend.
“We met at a great time and in a good place. Thanks to you, our White Dragon Gate loses its face. I heard that you gave valuable lessons to my disciple, Hyeoncheong, so please allow us to return in our own way.”
The old man’s tone was that of Confucius, but his gaze was that of a beast.
Judging from the fact that he didn’t even pay attention to the flames and screams that covered his surroundings, it was clear that he had been targeting Chris from the beginning.
After roughly estimating the amount of mana the opponent had, Chris hardened his face.
The old man, who seems to be the head of the White Dragon Gate, is a strong man comparable to King Kwon.
It’s a bit difficult to deal with after running amok and rolling around exhausting your strength.
I wanted to get rid of it right away, but it was very dangerous to turn my back on such a person.
In the end, he had no choice but to take up his sword and shield and stance.
“Then Hyeoncheong-ah, you should deal with it first.”
“Yes, Master.”
Hyuncheong, who received the order of the teacher, stepped forward to avenge the previous Dalian.
At first glance, it seems like they are trying to compete evenly one-on-one, but the reality is different.
Anyway, the level of skill at the prefectural office is not very helpful in the fight between the two.
That’s why he wants to deal with Chris before his teacher and expose his hand a little bit.
Chris, seeing through that intention, frowned and pondered carefully.
It wouldn’t be easy to knock down the prefectural office right now, but we had to choose the right method.
If possible, it is best to use swordsmanship that you are not confident in.
Reflecting on Gearic’s teachings, he lowered his shield and raised his longsword with both hands.
Posture is top notch. Just like last time, a blatant offensive is aimed at the prefectural office in front.
Hyuncheong, who had been burned by him once, gritted his teeth and prepared carefully.
This time, I can see the determination that I won’t be fooled like before.
After reviewing the strategy once again, Chris stepped forward without delay.
The magic power of the heart spreads with such force that it seems to explode the blood vessels in the limbs, adding to the weight of the attack.
When the first attack flew to Hyuncheong’s head, he blocked it with difficulty as if he had expected it.
However, Chris also gave up his greed to win in one blow like last time.
“Suck!”
The sharply curved trajectory of the sword lifted and aimed at the bottom with a slash.
Hyeoncheong, who had blocked the top just before, hurriedly lowered his sword.
This time, the defense was successful, albeit with difficulty.
But Chris doesn’t even give him a chance to rest and turns the knife over again to stop it.
This technique of hitting the opponent’s top, middle, and bottom evenly was taught by Gearrick.
A foul that turns a complex battle of swordsmanship into a simple battle of strength.
Normally, it’s not a big deal, but if the opponent is inferior to him in terms of strength and speed, he has no choice but to suffer.
From the sewage’s point of view, one, two, and three strikes are all lethal attacks, so how can they get rid of it without forcibly blocking it?
For this reason, this technique was banned in the morning sparring of the Knights of the Shield, where Gearic belonged.
However, in practice, it is a foul, and it is enough to just sleep and win.
Gearrick also encouraged the use of this technique.
Compared to his overall skill, Chris was lacking in swordsmanship, so he was able to use these trapping skills usefully.
“This, profit!”
Hyeoncheong, who had been fouled up, went out and fell violently with an expression of resentment.
I hit him on the side so he wouldn’t die, but he won’t be able to get up for a while.
Chris had hoped that the head of the White Dragon Gate would step back gracefully, but instead he looked excited.
Pulling out his sword, he took the example of a duel and slowly walked forward.
