Episode 230
“yeah ino oh oh oh !!! How dare you do such a foolish thing to the lord—”
“shut up. gaffer.”
Quaang!
When King Arthur tilted his head and looked away, the knight called Roch bounced off at once.
It happened in an instant without even a hint.
The formidable power of blowing away a full-plate mail knight just by looking at it without a chant or hand sign, so that the stone wall of the Great War blows colorless dust in all directions.
“What a dog! It’s a coup!”
“Kill him now!”
Chae chae chae chae chae!
And the moment Locke flew to a corner of the battlefield, dozens of full plate mail knights lined up on both sides pulled out their swords and began to generate mana.
Even though he is buried in the mountain basin without being able to say anything about the Empire Khan and the Stacy Castle of the Republic of Lakma, the famous Count Kocht is ruling a place that is no different from the forefront of < Nors >, another kingdom in the south-central region.
Therefore, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the concentration of forces in Ruwella was quite dense, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was one-third of the kingdom of Norse.
It was an incomparable force against Terra Kingdom.
But to use magic in the middle of the inner castle where the lord resides, not the outer troops of Ruwella Castle?
“One step kills everyone. If you’re curious, try it.”
“…!”
Koo-goo-goo-goo-goo!
But King Arthur was shaking the air with his head tilted as if he had nothing to do with it.
Such King Arthur’s magical power boasted a powerful output enough to snap the criminal’s neck within minutes, and Count Kocht, as well as his knights, also intuited that the words were by no means false.
“Anyway, even if I die, I will come back to life… Well, I wonder if you guys are like that too. I think you’d better take good care of your one and only life. is not it?”
Deed Dede Deuk!
At the words of King Arthur, who seemed to have lost a screw, the air was shaken, while intense pressure was felt as if a press was pressing down on the battlefield.
“This… I see now that he was a very outgoing friend. I got the wrong person.”
Before long, Count Kocht hardened his face.
“Do I want to become a continental feat? Or that it doesn’t matter if it’s business or what? It’s just such a fool to try to make a deal like this…”
“Is that the last will?”
“No, it’s not over yet. Let’s pretend this contract didn’t exist. Ruwella will give up all hands on the conflict between Emperor Clan and Iron Guard Clan. And…”
Woooooooooooo!
As Count Kocht raised his arm, blue light emanated from his middle finger.
It was a silver ring with the family crest engraved on it.
However, even Yoo-min did not know that the silver ring emits light and the pillars lined up in the Great Hall resonate together.
[Notice: The magic crystal resonates with the ring!]
[Notice: An intense mana reaction has been detected!]
[Notice: The magic < Gravity Field > has been destroyed!]
And while King Arthur sees a system message appearing in front of his eyes, waves from all directions I felt < Gravity Field > dispelled by magic.
In short, the ability of the ring that Count Kocht activated resonated with the magic crystal embedded in the pole to spread a powerful anti-magic field.
“As you said, adventurers from the other world will come back to life even if they die, right? The crime of scorning the nobles will be a 40% tax on the emperor’s bloodline and an additional 10 million gold. Keep in mind that failure to comply will result in immediate and indiscriminate punishment. This is the price you pay for your childish behavior. Got it?”
Slowly—
as Count Kocht spat out in anger, King Arthur’s slanted head straightened.
It was after the pressure that had been pressing down on Daejeon disappeared as if it had never happened before.
King Arthur, who was shaking his eyeballs with a screwed expression, brushed off his curly hair as if he was drying his hair.
“You’re keeping that word.”
“…what?”
“To withdraw from all disputes between the Emperor and the Iron Guard. And that the contract was not there.”
And when King Arthur, who was consistent with a boring expression, brushed his hair and said, Count Kocht as well as the knights who aimed their swords at him were speechless.
It was also because the man in front of him acted as if he would overthrow Ruwella at any moment, but as soon as he heard that Count Kocht was breaking the contract, he changed his posture like a ghost.
“I am not crazy. Are you crazy? Do you dare to think that I will be able to go back to this kind of bullshit in front of Kocht?”
“It is not soft. I have no intention of that.”
“It’s not soft…?”
“yes. So, Lord, you just have to carry out what you said. Just as you said, no more, no less.”
As Yumin firmly tied the knot, Count Kocht tilted his head.
The reason why he scorned himself was because he didn’t understand it secondly.
The authority entrusted to the Emperor by Count Kocht is such that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the full authority of the city, and it is so omnipotent that there is no problem even if you commit murder in the castle.
Even more so, activating all the guardian magic stones to spread a wide area anti-magic field that could cover the entire castle was a red alert level that was triggered when a so-called first-class criminal surfaced.
In other words, it was as if he was able to bind the Iron Guard because he had that kind of authority.
However, it wasn’t enough that he provoked himself to break the contract, and the words he said in an imminent situation where he could lose his life right away, ‘I’m not soft.
‘ Even though I don’t know if I’ll have to get out of this luwella with a penalty of 10 million gold?’
flash!
So Count Kocht was able to catch a thought that flashed like lightning through his mind as to why King Arthur, who seemed insane, had committed such nonsense.
In other words, the man in front of me had not only overturned the board in an unexpected action that broke the frame, but it was as if he had calculated in his head the cost of normalizing the overturned board.
“Did you see this crazy guy?”
“Lord, I think it’s right to dispose of this guy right away. It’s not enough to tarnish the name of the lord, so it’s a matter of course! This is an obvious coup!”
“Give me orders, my lord!”
While Count Kocht was lost in thought, Sir Locke and other knights began to speak out.
All of them were dominated by the content that King Arthur had to be seen.
It was obviously because King Arthur’s behavior was far beyond common sense, but it was also because he felt a sense of alienation as a human being in the appearance he briefly showed.
“Everyone be quiet! Like that now—”
-Fruy uh!
And just as Count Kocht was about to shout at the knights, a sharp explosion suddenly began to echo from the windows on either side of the battle.
It was from the fountain in the square, the center of Ruwella.
“…what is this?”
“It has begun.”
Before long, King Arthur turned his head toward the window.
* * *
“Anyway, old people bother people.”
Dig!
As the blood members rushed towards Jinman and Yeongcheol like the first time, the blood member who was sitting at the fountain reached out his hand.
It was a user with the nickname < Lung Dayo >.
The moment Jinman raises his left arm and aims it at the fountain, his left arm rips off his shirt and comes out covered with machines.
Just like the first time they flew in the air, the blood members seemed to be exposed to Jinman’s attack without moving, and as expected, Jinman’s mechanical palm emitted a hot source of heat and vomited artillery fire.
It was formidable power, enough to make the fountains in the square drip.
His main dealing skill, named < Gigant Fire >, is the essence of his class, Mechanic.
However, like the first time, the blood members did not take a defensive posture regardless of Jinman’s Gigant Fire, and Jinman and Youngcheol soon found out what the basis for that confidence was.
“Trees…roots…?”
Deed Dede Deuk!
Just like the first time they emerged from the gunpowder smoke that filled their vision, the blood members were flying over the huge tree roots that had been raged by the Gigant Fire [Druid] [Entangling
Roots
]
“ There is still one step left.”
Zuririririk!
As Lungdayo waved his hand, the sidewalk at the fountain in Ruwella Square rocked.
Unlike the beggarly nickname, it was a root that spread out in all directions.
At first, it seemed like just a thorn that was several meters high, but soon the roots of trees that grew exponentially in the air as if they were alive.
And when it became a maroon wave and filled the field of view, Jinman, who continued to fire at the blood members like the first time he flew, couldn’t help but spit out embarrassment.
“Ugh?!”
Even if it wasn’t for the tree roots that came in, pressuring his front, Lung Dayo’s entangling roots wrapped around Jin Man’s feet and soared.
“Old old man~. I’m sorry~.”
“I can’t dodge any of that.”
“Please follow me quietly. Honeycomb Krispy.”
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do!
While Jin-man stopped shooting at the vines that wrapped around his body, blood members pulled crossbows on both arms like the first time.
Stepping on the roots of Lungdayo’s trees and playing in the air seemed like it had wings.
Dozens of crossbow arrows flying from different directions regardless of front and rear, so it seemed impossible to avoid them without blocking them.
However, Jinman noticed that their arrows were not ordinary arrows, but special arrows that pierced the enemy the moment they tried to block them.
< Baby meat >!
In other words, as at the beginning, the arrows the blood members shot were ordinary < double shots > with no special skills, but they were putting pressure on them with the number of tens and the uniqueness of baby flesh.
“Be still, Jinman!”
“hmm!”
When Yeong-cheol yelled, Jin-man answered by tearing off the root of the tree that was trying to get around his neck.
Considering that the baby flesh was rushing in right before her eyes, she was on the verge of becoming a beehive.
However, at that moment, Yeong-cheol’s hands are spread out and the pattern engraved on the back of his glove shines.
“What is this again…”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Like the first time, the blood members felt that a seal was drawn in the air around Jinman, and then a blinding flash of light burst out.
[Crafter]
[Reflection shield]
Pooh!
It was an eerie cracking sound.
