241. time for counterattack
#
Just before.
Ion was pushing Leon towards the emperor.
“Now get up.”
“Ugh..”
At first, even the emperor did not rise.
It was natural.
It was because of the encroachment of his body by
There was no focus in the eyes of the emperor, who had lost his motivation.
Helm said in a suffocating manner.
[Those who are engulfed in
‘I know.’
[Then why are you doing such a useless thing? How about dealing with at least one of the enemies outside at a time like this?]
‘wait. Because I have thoughts too.’
He once again pushed Leonic in front of the Emperor’s eyes.
The sinners who made the emperor here, and who messed up Cantum.
Of course, nothing changed for the Emperor.
“Ugh..”
He was just an old man who lost his will.
But why?
In the appearance of such an emperor, Ion could recall himself from his previous life.
He clenched his fist involuntarily.
‘So did I. He was nothing more than a puppet being manipulated by the Duke of Garcia.’
So I wanted to help.
So that the emperor, who was shining brighter than anyone else, can regain his place.
Therefore, Ian had no choice but to use special measures.

inside Ian’s bodyAnother seven major musical instruments.
It was just shooting
rumble
A great rage enveloped the emperor.
The dark-red black dragon and the dark-yellow light that was encroaching on him fought fiercely.
Fighting each other for dominance.
In the meantime, Ion grabbed Leonic by the neck and brought it in front of the emperor.
“Look. He is the one who has ruined Cantum and made His Majesty the Emperor this way.”
“I.. what is this? Do you know if this will change anything?”
“You’ll have to wait and see, right?”
“What?”
Despite Leonic’s rebellion, Ion smiled brightly.
He already had two of the seven major musical instruments in one body.
He knew better than anyone what the Seven Great Juaks were.
‘It’s never the same. They eat each other and try to win. If
I had no choice but to do so.
Indolence is the seven major musical instruments that basically destroy all motivation.
But
‘‘Anger’ is the desire to kill the enemy without fail, even by burning oneself. When ignorance and desire fight, desire has no choice but to win.’
No matter how tired and sleepy he was, he couldn’t sleep if there was someone he wanted to kill in front of him.
Garcia was like that to Ion in the past.
He was a being who he wanted to take revenge on both in his past life and in the present.
‘I’ve already had half of my revenge. It’s not over yet.’
Vengeance did not end simply with the overthrow of the Duke of Garcia.
Unlike his previous life, having what he should have.
And he was planning to take revenge with something that shines more brilliantly than anyone else.
Ion gave strength to
oo!
The black dragon suppressed the dark yellow light.
It was a brief moment, but it certainly had suppressed
Ian was watching the scene with his cold eyes.
‘This was the only way to overcome
Above all else, it was to blow away the sense of helplessness with boiling anger.
Thanks to this,
That was the moment.
“Ugh…”
A voice escaped the king’s mouth.
It sounded similar to before, but the emotion in that voice was certain.
anger.
The emperor’s helpless eyes were slowly starting to glow.
But it was still not enough.
Ian shouted at the servants.
“Open the gates of Daejeon wide so that the battle outside can be seen.”
“Ha… But… it’s in battle. According to the royal etiquette, this cannot be done…”
“Open!”
Ian shouted sharply.
Hajiman eunuch and other servants did not know what to do with his orders.
No matter how helpless the old man was, he was the highest emperor in Cantum.
He said it would be impossible without his permission.
But only one was different.
The head of the eunuch opened the gates of Daejeon directly instead of the eunuchs.
“Wow.. Chief eunuch! What are you doing now!”
“It’s against the rules…”
“Shut up everyone! Can’t you see the current situation? Don’t you know that if the country collapses like this, your lives will end anyway!”
“…”
The eunuchs did not even dare to rebuke.
Because they couldn’t risk their lives while following the etiquette.
To die by the emperor, or to die by the monsters, it was the same thing.
In any case, thanks to the actions of the eunuchs, from afar, giant monsters began to be seen pouring into the wall.
“Ugh..”
A voice of pain and anger emanated from the Emperor’s mouth.
by monstersHe could feel the suffering of his soldiers and people.
Ion shouted at the emperor.
“Can you hear me? He used to say that the people were his children. Your children are dying now.”
“Ugh…”
“The Crown Prince Leonic and the second prince. They tried to sell this country. All because you were not there.”
“Uh-huh..”
Ion made eye contact with the emperor with serious eyes.
The eyes were full of helplessness, but in those eyes, a single spark of fire was flying out.
Ian said softly.
“I heard that the emperor has special powers,” he said. A power that can only be used once in a lifetime. We need it now.”
“Ugh..”
“If you are the emperor… if you truly love the people! Wake up! And defend your country and your people.”
That was the moment.
As soon as Ian finished speaking, light poured into the emperor’s eyes.
And he got up.
“Leonii Lee profit!”
Enraged, he slammed the throne down with both arms.
Then a great light began to flicker.
Paah!
It’s a huge wave of gold.
And the wave soon spread beyond the imperial palace and throughout the imperial castle.
*
golden wave.
It was obviously [Light of Kantum] that only the emperor of Kantum could use.
Ian’s eyes lit up.
‘It’s a success.’
When I heard the sound from outside, the situation had changed.
“The attack works!”
“Shoot the bow! Attack the enemy!”
The movements of the soldiers, who were the only ones who were defensive, also changed.
They were actively attacking the monsters.
No matter how many monsters there were, they were helplessly attacked by cannons and arrows.
But Ian was not vigilant.
‘If it was Leon, it certainly wouldn’t end like this.’
It was natural.
Because he had already experienced his power once.
At the very least, for those who grew up with negative emotions, the battlefield was nothing but the best medicine.
Of course it was the same for him.
‘The ‘jealousy’ and ‘anger’ in me are also eating away the negative emotions.’
Even if I stood still, I could feel the power getting stronger.
Even
But one thing was certain.
‘He will come soon.’
So I had to prepare.
Ion opened his mouth to the emperor, who had his eyes terrified towards Leonic.
“Emperor. The enemy is approaching.”
“What can I . . . do?”
“Noblesse Oblige. Show yourself as a person who is in the highest position.”
“good night.”
The emperor’s eyes changed.
He ordered his eunuchs standing by him.
“Bring me your armor and sword.”
However, the eunuchs all waved their hands and caused a stir.
“You just woke up. You can’t be too hard.”
“you’re right. Preserve the corpse first…”
The emperor’s eyebrows twitched at that sight.
He swore strongly.
“Shut up. My people… Jim’s children are dying. Did you mean to protect only one body?”
“that···”
“The eunuch! Did you not hear my command?”
“I will give it right away.”
The eyes of the emperor looking at the eunuch was not good.
It was due to the fact that while suffering from
The betrayal of the Crown Prince Leonick and his right-hand man, the eunuch Chang, knew better than anyone.
But the emperor didn’t show it.
“Everything is my fault. I will not be reprimanded for the current situation. save the peopleis first.”
The eunuchs hurriedly put armor on the emperor.
Ian said cautiously.
“Sloth has not disappeared yet. I just paused for a moment with
“I know. Prince Ian. However, there are times when it must be done for all rulers and those who stand above the people. You should know that.”
The emperor raised his sword and headed forward.
But it staggered quickly.
“your majesty!”
The eunuchs were startled and ran.
“You haven’t had anything to eat so far, so it seems that a crowd has come.”
“Since you are only sitting on the throne, your muscles…
But the emperor slapped them off.
“Get out of the way!”
“Hah..”
“Don’t come near me! If you come any closer, I’ll think you’ve been disgusted!”
At the emperor’s sharp attitude, the eunuchs retreated with bewildered expressions.
He didn’t want to buy the Emperor’s wrath for nothing.
But the emperor had no choice but to do so.
“Have I seen your craftsmanship clearly? Don’t come any closer.”
It was because he had a clear memory of playing with the eunuchs and Leonick until now.
All of those years when I couldn’t move my body due to
But I can’t even walk like this.
The emperor called Ion.
“Prince Ian. Can you help me with the load?”
“I am the prince of a foreign country. Are you okay?”
Ian’s eyes turned to Leonic.
No matter how much he committed treason, he wondered if his children were better than himself.
But the emperor’s eyes were sincere.
“You are different from a man who harms his father through greed. If it were you, I would gladly give up my arm.”
“Father… No, His Majesty the Emperor. How could you say that…”
“Shut up. Leonic.”
At the Emperor’s words, Leonic quickly shut his mouth.
“Because of you, this country is a mess. I knew and believed that I had talent. To borrow someone else’s hand to covet the throne. Your treatment is next.”
“Lungs… Your Majesty.”
The emperor wriggled his eyebrows as if he wanted to be true at any moment.
But he quickly turned his head.
It was not worth the time to do that now.
He reached out to Ian.
“Can you help?”
“Is there any possibility”
Ian supported the emperor.
The two stood side by side and started walking outside.
oo!
A monster of greed that has turned into a giant.
towards Leon.
*
“Attack! Fire the cannons!”
“Ha… But, Commander! The attack doesn’t work. So strong!”
At the urgent cry of her soldiers, 1 Princess Irene hardened her face.
She must have been winning by [Light of Kantum].
However, the situation changed because of one existence.
oo!
A black-stained giant.
A giant giant that could not be compared with before was collapsing the wall.
At the very least, it was a monster that couldn’t even hit bullets, let alone arrows.
But Irene was recognizable at a glance.
“Brother Leon… are you really?”
oo!
Of course, the giant had no answer.
As if the only goal was to go to the Imperial Palace, they were advancing by smashing the walls.
Then her 1st princess came to her.
“Lin! I can’t stop it anymore!”
“I know. lan. For now, let’s go back.”
The imperial fortress consisted of huge walls.
Even if the first wall collapsed, there were 2nd and 3rd level walls.
Of course, some damage to the people must be endured.
‘What I prepared for Ian’s request should be eaten.’Fortunately, there were some defenses.
2nd Prince, if you want to build a major, it seems like you haven’t done your job properly. As the first princess and the first princess, she was different.
She had laid her traps more clearly than anyone else.
She quickly gave the order.
“The enemy is too strong! Retreat to the second line of defense!”
“Retreat!”
She was the moment when she and her men quickly retreated from the wall.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Leon’s huge hand, which had turned into a monster, smashed the wall.
And the monsters came pouring out of it.
Chur uh huh
He looked as if he was going to kill the soldiers and citizens at any moment.
That was then.
“Fire!”
Kwakwakwakang!
As if waiting, shells fell from the window of the private house.
The monsters that were about to rush in were swept away.
Heh heh heh!
Her 1st princess, Irene, shouted at the sight.
“Everyone, do not tremble! Cantum! Humans do not lose to monsters!”
Some of the private houses had already been prepared for battle.
It was not just consumables such as cannons and arrows.
The monsters fell to the ground that suddenly went out.
cou ok?
cookie?
When the private house was destroyed, a strong poison erupted from it along with green smoke.
Aaah!
The monsters screamed.
I wanted to gain power by killing the citizens around me.
squeaky?
It had been a long time since all the citizens had already fled behind the second deterrent.
Everything Ian had prepared in advance.
It was to evacuate the citizens with ordinary soldiers.
Then Leon, who had turned into a monster, crossed the wall.
Chur uh huh
Kwajik!
Every time the giant monster moved, a house collapsed.
A monster among monsters that inflicts damage with only movement.
It was natural for everyone to swallow their saliva.
“Can this… be long?”
“How the hell are you going to stop that monster… we’re all going to die…”
Soldiers and citizens alike were drenched in despair.
I thought I was well prepared. It was because the enemy’s power was too strong.
Leon noticed that figure accurately.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
The laughter of the monster echoed throughout the Imperial Castle.
Humans did not even dare to question the monster and dropped their weapons with a gloomy look.
It’s overwhelming despair.
He had lost the will to fight any more.
That was the moment.
“Lungs… Your Majesty? His Majesty the Emperor is here!”
“What… what?”
A man appeared among the soldiers.
Although he looked exhausted, it was the appearance of the holy king whom everyone in Kantum loved.
The morale of the soldiers soared at that sight.
“The Emperor is with us!”
“You are the emperor chosen by the dragon! Everyone, get up and raise your arms!”
And he wasn’t alone.
“I help. His Majesty the Emperor.”
Ion, who was supporting the emperor, raised the royal sword.
A black energy surged from his sword.
oo!
It is
Seeing the appearance of the giant black dragon, the emperor also smiled and said:
“Then I’ll try my best.”
The dark red energy of
And the dark yellow energy that springs up from his body.
It was the energy of
“I thought I was bound to die by this guy. This is so helpful…”
The emperor’s body was limp.
He was losing his motivation by ‘sloth’ again.
But unlike before, his eyes shone with certainty.
“No parent kneels in front of their children. Even if I die here today, I will fulfill my duty as emperor!”
Soon, dark yellow tree trunks erupted from the emperor’s body.
In that lookErn also violently poured out
“ruler. Now is the time for a counterattack.”
The two men started moving towards the monster.
