Episode 292 The moment orange light spread throughout the room, the knights who were rushing towards Viktor all grabbed their necks and staggered.
At least Greg and Natman, like top-class knights, struck down the orange sword that flew in front of them.
“Sigh!”
“Ugh!?”
However, at that moment, a power clearly higher than the Force shook them inside, and as they staggered from shock, they were unable to respond even when they saw the red-haired, red-eyed young man who immediately appeared in front of them.
“ah…!?”
Skag.
Soon they experienced a light noise and a feeling as if the world was suddenly collapsing.
And soon I realized.
Before they knew it, both of their legs had been cut off cleanly.
“Ahh!”
“This is crazy!”
“Victor! My brother is here!”
“…How are you?”
Even Viktor couldn’t help but be taken aback by that playful tone, but it was not a situation for a leisurely conversation.
Ronian turns around with a grin.
But as soon as I turned around, the smile disappeared and fiery anger filled its place.
“I’ve secured those who will open their mouths, so I’ll kill them all!”
Only after the angry shouts erupted did the magic of the wizards, including Gerohin, pour in a beat later.
“Spirit Thorn!!”
As the wizards shouted at the same time, gray thorny vines came out of nowhere and enveloped them and Gerohin on all sides.
Tiding.
Bourdelle’s arrows, which were fired one after another from behind, were blocked by the thorn barrier and bounced off.
As Bourdel clicked his tongue in disappointment, a gloomy voice came from behind the barrier.
“Corrupt Explosion.”
At that moment, the corpses of the dead knights began to swell along with a gray fog.
Ronian’s expression crumpled at the sight of strange, unheard of magic. Viktor, who remembered a familiar situation from the sight, hurriedly screamed.
“It explodes! Avoid it!”
As the person was unable to move despite shouting like that, Ronian, who clearly understood, blocked Viktor’s front.
Soon, an orange aura appeared on the sword he raised.
Wow!
An explosion that seemed to blow up the entire castle rang out.
The corpses of the knights also exploded, but the impact was blocked by the orange wall and did not cause any damage to Ronian and Viktor.
Rumbling.
Even as the house collapsed due to the impact left by the aftermath of the explosion and a lot of dust rose from all directions, Victor, who was surrounded by an orange wall and was not hurt even a hair, looked at his friend with surprised eyes.
“What are you doing? Or rather, how can you be here now…?”
“Oh my. They’re flying! Explain later!”
When Ronian, who sensed the enemy through the thick dust, shouted, Viktor nodded with a stern expression.
“…Okay. You go.”
“what?”
Ronian, who was about to rush into the dust, looked at his old friend with a dumbfounded expression.
“It could be related to the Empire. If possible, capture at least one of them.”
However, Victor only encouraged him, remembering the explosion earlier.
“I have to finish my mission.”
“What are you doing now in that condition…”
My friend, who had suffered serious injuries while dealing with the mage, was insisting that he would continue the mission.
Ronian’s eyebrows naturally narrowed, but soon he felt Victor’s strength, completely recovered, completely different from before, and his eyes widened.
“you…!?”
“I’m finally used to it.”
Victor grinned and flashed a gray aura on his hand as if he had stumbled at some point. The power I felt there was vivid, as if I had never been hurt at all.
Ronian smiled as if he felt something when he saw that and then patted his friend’s shoulder.
“be careful.”
“you also.”
The two friends, who had not met for the first time in many years, shot off in different directions at the same time and disappeared.
* * * Rumble.
“What is this!”
“It’s in the direction of Her Majesty’s bedroom!”
“Knights!”
Gongwangseong was truly in chaos.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the king’s quarters and the royal castle shook as if it was about to collapse.
However, a middle-aged man calmed the commotion.
“Everyone, don’t panic! We are already prepared!”
A person who wears his official uniform and shouts with a stoic face without any disturbance even in the face of sudden chaos in the middle of the night.
“Oh yeah!”
“Yes, Prime Minister.”
“Everyone calm down and do your own thing!”
Everyone who knew the identity of the middle-aged man stopped hesitating and started moving in an orderly manner again.
“Your Excellency. At this level, you’ve definitely been subdued, right?”
“Of course. An explosion of this magnitude is clearly Gerohin’s magic. A mere assassin cannot do anything to a well-prepared mage.”
Middle-aged Donati Fellows smiled coldly as he looked at his subordinate groveling next to him.
And at that moment, his head slid down with a smile on his face.
Push shoo shoo.
The people around them, who were staring blankly at the sudden surge of blood, soon screamed in unison.
“Ugh!”
“Prime Minister Jae!”
“Call the knights!”
The servants became louder than before.
Taking advantage of the commotion, a cold anticipation followed behind one frozen official.
“Where is the King of Kong hiding? Please guide me.”
The official, with cold sweat on his forehead, nodded slightly with a pale face.
His trembling steps became faster and faster as the sharp tip of the knife stabbed his back.
He suffered from a fear that made him feel like his head was going to explode at any moment, and he occasionally gave a quick glance to the people he encountered.
“Ugh!”
However, most of them run away the moment they are noticed.
“this guy!”
Occasionally, soldiers or knights with swollen livers would attack.
Skag.
With a single slash, the neck was separated and flew through the air.
In the end, the official had no choice but to give up any resistance and guide Victor to the King at a faster pace.
“There are surprisingly few articles. Do you know anything?”
“I’m fine…”
Even as he said that, his steps led to the largest room in the castle.
A hall in Daejeon where King Gong carries out official duties.
Eat.
“The King of Kong is in here?”
“I’m serious! I swear…”
Seeing Viktor laughing incoherently, the official screamed desperately to survive.
“No, I confirmed it.”
Wow.
“It’s just ridiculous.”
Viktor, who had stunned the official in an instant, looked at the gate of Daejeon and his complexion hardened.
The tremendous momentum felt inside Daejeon was not created by just one or two people.
‘If the artifact was fine, I would just sneak in and cut off the king’s head.’
There is no need for that anymore.
Okay.
As Victor, with a confident smile, increased his strength, the door to the main hall opened with a loud roar.
Confused looks poured in through the wide open door. At first glance, the gazes of over a hundred knights and dozens of wizards appeared.
“Who are you!?”
As the knights filling the great hall all drew their swords, Victor laughed.
“You’ve collected a lot. I was wondering where all the knights were…” They
probably didn’t gather the knights right away at night, so they probably put them on standby as soon as they found their traces, as Greg said.
As if to prove that idea, most of the hundred or dozen knights looked tired.
And perhaps because of that or because Victor was alone, there were only a few knights approaching him.
“Blood on that sword…”
An older man with a haggard complexion, surrounded by knights above the Great Hall, muttered in a low voice.
“It’s Donati Pelo’s blood. Next is your turn, King Kong.”
When Victor dared to answer with both a pitiful heart and confidence, the reactions of those gathered in Daejeon changed dramatically.
“His Excellency…!?”
“That guy!?”
“Kill me!!”
Dozens of knights rushed in at once, and the wizards also muttered something and raised their staffs.
“Don’t kill, subdue!”
In the meantime, Victor heard someone shouting and laughed.
You’re not going to kill me?
“Thank you for that.”
A gray auror blade shot out from Victor’s drawn sword.
The newly developed characteristics that were clearly felt within his body raised Victor’s confidence to the sky.
– You have to protect your younger brother.
That was the biggest goal throughout Victor’s life.
The sense of responsibility brought about by the death of his parents became an obsession that he had to fulfill, even if it meant risking his life.
A purpose in life that arose from a very young age.
There was no need for much worry for the child who was thrown into the world without parents and had to protect his younger brother.
Because I wasn’t confident that I could achieve even that small goal.
So, when I was young, I lived to physically protect my younger brother, and when I grew up, I lived to protect a place where my younger brother could live happily.
But at some point, his younger brother no longer needed his help.
– I can take care of it myself!
I know you’re saying this because you’re worried about yourself.
And I also know that my younger brother is a genius who may become a mage at the youngest age.
That he no longer needs his protection.
So he looked away.
A feeling of gratitude toward the lord who saved the lives of himself and his younger brother.
I decided to repay that feeling.
But his master was a superhuman who did not need his help.
– you? haha. My heart is grateful.
This was a situation that would have made ordinary people happy and smile, but for Viktor, it was rather worrying.
– So what should I do?
Also affection for my younger brother.
A feeling of gratitude towards my lord.
Everyone had a sincere heart without lies, but regardless of that, Victor had lost his direction in life.
Because he always lived for others, he didn’t know how to live for himself.
– Now live your life. Don’t look at me anymore!
– Just think about your own development. That’s what helps me in the end.
live your life
The words of the two people he felt indebted to were ultimately the same. So, for the first time, Victor began to think about the path he wanted to take.
While practicing swordsmanship, he pushed his body to the limit and explored his inner self through meditation for recovery.
At some point, he faced his deepest, deepest longing.
And then I realized.
– Live.
What his parents wanted from him in their last moments was not his younger brother’s safety, but his survival.
So, even if I continued to live a miserable and miserable life, I knew that I was the one who wanted to live.
‘I will definitely survive.’
That was his own longing, created by combining the creature’s primal desire with his parents’ last hope.
It was an honest feeling that was revealed when the guilt that was thickly piled on top of altruism was removed.
He was embarrassed when he first realized it, but he soon changed his mind.
– All you have to do is face your own desires, accept them, and use them as a driving force for development.
– That will be the driving force for expressing your unique characteristics.
– Believe.
He continued to train, remembering the words of his teacher and lord.
But training alone was not enough.
In order to bring out that ‘desire to live’, a crisis where life was felt to be a threat was needed.
And now, facing such a crisis, Victor has finally succeeded.
“Let’s give it a try.”
Victor smiled, feeling the endless vitality welling up inside his body.
Aurors are the evolution of the force of life.
And his characteristic that was finally revealed was ‘endless vitality.’
Ugh.
From his sword, an incredibly large and powerful gray auror blade shot out, unbelievable for someone who had just awakened to aura.
but.
“Top article!!”
“But I’m still alone!”
“catch!”
Unfortunately for the knights, the gray Auror blades did not properly display the auspicious light unique to Aurors.
Because of that, they misunderstood Victor’s level itself.
‘I guess it will end easier than I thought?’
He also never expected that his Force characteristics would help him in this way.
– You are the right person to learn our magic…
The mage’s words suddenly pass through your mind.
Suddenly, the bizarre magic that exploded corpses came to mind for a moment.
And the characteristics of the ghosts seen in the royal castle.
Although there was a difference between a corpse and a living body, the methods felt strangely similar.
Maybe they really have something to do with the Empire.
‘No, now is not the time to think like this.’
Victor’s eyes lit up again as he saw the swords approaching in front of him.
And screamed.
“You must be punished for going against the will of the empire!”
“…what?”
The absurd voice uttered by the king at the head of the table was drowned out by Victor’s shouting and was not heard.
After about thirty minutes, Victor built a mountain with the corpses of knights and wizards and stood in front of the king.
Push.
“Tsk.”
When I lightly pulled out the sword stuck in my side, the wound healed rapidly.
Victor smiled with satisfaction as he watched the burn on his left hand, where he hit the fireball, heal quickly.
“At this level, I don’t need armor.”
Of course it was a joke.
No matter how talented you are, recovering from wounds still requires force.
If you can stop it, it’s better to stop it.
Of course, anyone who saw the scene with their own eyes could not help but think of something completely different.
“A monster…”
“The King of Balls…”
It’s not a disguise made by magic, it’s him.
The moment he was so certain, Victor’s sword moved lightly.
Skag.
In the blink of an eye, a head was rolling in front of Viktor, who had withdrawn his sword.
That day, the entire Principality of Tahiti was turned upside down.
