Episode 356 Three months have passed since the creation of the Last War
Continent Alliance.
Starting with the first battle at Ramelun, the Allies fought nearly ten large-scale battles with the Empire and emerged victorious in all of them.
It would not be an exaggeration to call it a complete victory, as they pushed through to the middle of the empire’s territory without a single defeat.
The victory was due to the strength and momentum of the Allied Forces, but the contribution of Baek Woo-jin, who became the commander-in-chief, was greater than anything else.
As he said himself, he stood at the forefront of the battlefield, fought more intensely than anyone else, and remained until the last.
Thanks to this, Allied soldiers were able to enjoy the effect of < Perfect Sword Commander > to the end and demonstrate abilities beyond their own.
The Allied forces took advantage of the momentum of the soldiers who had reached the peak and even took control of Hoemheim Castle, the main stronghold of the empire, within three months.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin looked up and down at Hohenheim Castle, where the gate was cracked and the walls collapsed.
Hohenheim Castle was a key area of the Empire, but the Imperial forces fled, so now only the Allied forces remain.
-Hohenheim Castle is a castle located in the center of the imperial capital and the city of Ramelun. I’ve only eaten half of it now.
The darkness flew out after touching the remains of the collapsed castle wall.
‘I know that much.’
After becoming Commander-in-Chief, he often looked at maps of the continent, so he could tell the locations of major castles even with his eyes closed.
-But I had no idea that we would come this far in just three months. The speed of advance is insane.
‘Because I’ve never lost.’
I don’t know if there was a close battle with the imperial army, but there was no time delay as the victory continued without defeat.
The allied forces he led literally pushed away the empire’s territory like a bulldozer.
-Your commanding skills are great, but your real morale is being a perfect commander of the sword. I didn’t know that the ability I thought wouldn’t be of much help would shine this brightly.
Darkness let out a light breath.
The Perfect Sword Conductor is a difficult trait to use in many ways. I had no idea that an attribute that was rarely activated and had become old like soybean paste could be used so efficiently.
‘I heard he’s a great guy.’
Baek Woo-jin’s characteristics were so numerous that even he, who was always with him, could not understand them all. Although he has so many abilities, I was honestly amazed to see him use each and every one of them properly.
-hey. Stop and get in shape. What are you doing when everyone goes in and rests?
Darkness grunted against his will and pressed down on Baek Woo-jin’s shoulder.
“I have to go in.”
“Prosecutor!”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and was about to enter Hohenheim Castle when a guest came running out.
“There it is, over there.”
“that? what is that.”
“The white liquid that the Empire used to create black demons! “There’s this strange thing that looks like it’s God’s snot!”
“Tears of God?”
“Oh that! tear!”
He shook his chin and said that it was Mu Young-gaek.
“It’s here?”
“That’s right! Come over here!”
I followed the unmanned guest into the interior of Hohenheim Castle. He stopped in the western corner where no one would care.
“Here we go. “They were all buried here!”
Muyounggaek pointed to a hole dug in the bushes behind the tree. The pit was full of empty glass bottles, and a trace amount of white liquid remained inside the bottles.
“This is it, right?”
“wait for a sec.”
Baek Woo-jin lifted the glass bottle in the hole and examined the liquid inside.
-how is it? Is it real?
‘The smell, the viscosity, and the gutter-like energy inside are the same.’
The liquid in the glass bottle was clearly the tears of God, which turns humans into black demons.
“that’s right. “They are God’s tears.”
“I knew it would be like this! “My eyes are never wrong!”
“How did you find this?”
Moon Ju-young, who followed behind, looked at Mu Young-gaek and opened his mouth.
“The Empire didn’t have enough time to escape. I thought he must have hidden something valuable, so I walked around and found it. Hehehe.”
“Huh…”
Moo Young-gaek grinned with his hands on his hips, and Moon Ju-young let out a vain expression with an expression of boredom.
‘All these bottles smell of God’s tears.’
Baek Woo-jin checked all the bottles in the pit. When I smelled that awful scent, I realized that it was a bottle filled with God’s tears.
-They used all the tears of God that were in that bottle. And that too to the humans in this castle.
‘There aren’t a lot of dark spirits for no reason.’
As the war continued, the number of knights and priests in the empire decreased significantly, but black demons continued to appear no matter how many times they were treated and treated like mosquitoes in the summer.
‘They keep turning ordinary people into dark demons and sending them to war.’
To say that they are terrible enough to turn even the residents of such an ordinary castle into dark demons is an understatement.
“Crazy guys…”
Baek Woo-jin crushed the glass bottle in his hand.
– To cast a curse that changes the human species, even demons won’t be like this! You devils!
Hot anger burst out in the voice of darkness. He seemed even more angry because he was friends with Cabalon, who did all this.
“Burn all of this.”
“yes!”
“I understand.”
Following Baek Woo-jin’s instructions, Moon Ju-young and Mu Young-gaek collected God’s tears in a glass bottle and began burning them.
Grumbling.
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the white flames burning the glass bottle and God’s tears.
‘We have to stop it as quickly as possible.’
Even if they are from a foreign country, we cannot allow people who know nothing to become dark demons.
We must end this war as quickly as possible to prevent the priests and dark elves from creating any more dark demons.
-That is correct. Just calm down your anger and control your emotions.
The darkness that was watching the flames turned and floated before my eyes.
-You are strong now. Even if you search the entire continent, there will be no one who can deal with you. Something like Yuman, the new director, or Imperial Sword?
‘I guess so.’
-You have power that I acknowledge, but your current condition is unstable in many ways.
‘Are you anxious?’
-okay. You are experiencing an abnormal phenomenon in which your mind has reached absolute transcendence of body and energy. It’s something no one has ever experienced.
At the calm voice of darkness, my heartbeat, burning with anger, slowly subsided.
-That’s why you need to control your emotions well. If you make a mistake and let your power or emotions take over, you could end up suffering from a curse.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin nodded. When it comes to martial arts, darkness doesn’t tell nonsense, so be careful.
-Besides, you are also learning a rare technique called Bukmyeong Shin-gong. You have to be more careful.
‘It’s safe.’
-Because the Aura of Lasadum, which is your base, is strong. If those energies become stronger than the Lasadum Aura without you being able to harmonize them, a big problem could arise.
‘That’s why I told you to focus on Rasadum Auror every time.’
Now I can finally understand why the darkness tells me to practice Cain’s Auror technique every time.
-right. If Cain’s Auror practice becomes prosperous and even the mind reaches transcendence, the danger will disappear. So is there any change?
‘A clue is passing through my fingertips, but I can’t grasp it yet. It’s so tantalizing it’s killing me.’
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue. I was looking at the wall of transcendence at the end of the absolute, but I couldn’t get over it yet. It’s a frustrating situation because there seems to be no clue.
-The more it happens, the more calm you are. You should never be in a hurry.
‘Why are you giving such innocent advice?’
-I am originally pure! And…
Darkness twisted the blade of his sword and continued speaking.
-The reason you came all the way here and used your strength is for me, right? I just want to help as much as I can.
‘But even though they want to help me, they make a fuss every time I get something.’
-That and this are different! I just hate free stuff! You eat so much for free!
The darkness jumped up with its blade dyed red, as if it was embarrassed.
‘I understand, so please calm down.’
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and pushed the black arm.
‘Actually, I’m not helping you.’
The grace I received from darkness and the system is not enough to repay in a lifetime. In order to help the two people, I could have gone to another dimension, not just here.
‘Now it’s my job too.’
It is not only darkness that is angry at the evil deeds of the Empire and Kabaron.
Due to their evil deeds that I have seen so far and the tears of God that I have seen today, I have decided that they are evil people who should never be left behind.
‘Wait. Cabalon.’
**
The Continental Allied Forces led by Baek Woo-jin pushed into the territory of the empire without much difficulty even after conquering Hohenheim Castle.
The empire fought small to medium-sized battles rather than large-scale wars like before, but it continued to be pushed back without any harvest.
The Allied forces pressured the retreating main army and reached Tenes, the capital of the Charon Empire, after two months.
“That’s Tenes…”
Baek Woo-jin stood on a hill that rose like a mountain and looked down at Tenes.
Inside the high walls surrounding the capital, countless buildings of various shapes were rising.
Perhaps it was an empire for no reason, but the number and shape of the buildings were bigger and more spectacular than any city I had ever seen.
‘But they’re all the same color.’
Although the shapes of the buildings are diverse, the color of the buildings is only white, creating a bizarre appearance.
-All the buildings are white. What is that?
‘Wasn’t it like that before?’
-of course. It was beautifully decorated with many colors.
‘It’s just disgusting now…’
Baek Woo-jin frowned. It felt disgusting that the city was neater and more colorful than any other city on the continent, but only had one color.
-Don’t worry about the tone, but do you see the castle at the end over there? That is the imperial palace.
Darkness pointed to a huge castle located in the center of the capital. The castle was huge, the size of several soccer fields combined, but it was also tall enough to rival the hill he was currently standing on.
‘Then what is bigger and wider than the imperial palace next to it?’
-I do not know. Originally, there was a temple of the God of War….
‘Seeing as you don’t know, that seems to be the Temple of Kabaron.’
Baek Woo-jin’s eyes lit up as he looked at the building built next to the imperial palace.
The pillars were high enough to reach the sky, beautiful stone statues of angels were erected on both sides, and the exterior walls seemed to be covered in gold, making it the only building in the empire that sparkled with gold.
‘That’s a temple…’
When I saw the temple, which was taller and more splendid than the imperial palace, I could only laugh. As expected, the emperor of the empire seemed to have been reduced to Kavaron’s puppet.
“Commander-in-Chief!”
While Baek Woo-jin was laughing at the Cavalon Temple, Dapple approached from behind.
“The siege engines have been installed and the battle line is complete.”
After hearing those words, I turned my head to the other side of the capital.
The Allied forces stood in line in their designated positions, and siege engines were erected between them.
“Good work.”
“no!”
Dapple shook his head vigorously.
“When do you plan to advance?”
“When they come out.”
“yes? “Those guys?”
“okay. “It’s ready and it’s coming out now.”
As soon as Baek Woo-jin finished speaking, the ground shook and the huge gates of the empire slowly opened.
Two knights in golden armor appeared between the opening gates. These are the two imperial swords, Buranga, and the three imperial swords, Moian, that were encountered during the war.
Behind the two knights who reached the absolute highest level, swordsmen who reached the absolute highest level appeared. The remaining surviving Imperial Swords were the ten swords.
The castle gate was completely opened, and knights and unmanned soldiers began to rush out and form a battle line.
The dark demons appeared last and stood at the forefront to act as shields, and the dark elf who controlled them stood between the troops, preparing magic and arrows.
-They still use the dark ghost as a shield.
‘yes.’
The Empire’s executives probably think of the Black Demon not as life, but as a monster that can be replenished as much as needed.
“Whew…”
I felt anger burning at their devil-like appearance, but I forced it down.
“let’s go.”
Baek Woo-jin turned around after scanning everything about the imperial army.
“It’s time to end it.”
**
‘Even though I killed them like that, it doesn’t decrease.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at the imperial army in front of him with cold eyes. Their momentum dropped significantly, but their numbers remained the same.
Even if you have the < Perfect Sword Commander >, you cannot win with little damage. Now you have to make up your mind.
I turned around and made eye contact with the Allied Forces. After looking at Moon Ju-young, Mu-yeong-gaek Deple, and Seongju standing right behind them, I looked at the knights and soldiers beyond them.
The Allied Forces were not afraid even after seeing the enormous number of Imperial troops and Imperial Ten Swords. There is only one emotion in their eyes. trust. It contained only complete trust in themselves.
“Thank you for your hard work so far.”
Baek Woo-jin slowly opened his mouth, keeping everyone’s trust in his heart.
“We kept winning, but underneath it all there was a lot of death. After going through difficult and difficult emotions and times. just now! “The final moment to make our comrade’s death shine!”
I slowly pulled out my sword.
“We fought a war not to conquer the enemy, but to protect what is ours. “We are not invaders, but defenders of what is ours!”
The sword I drew filled with jet-black energy and pierced the sky. The sun in the sky began to sink, as if its black light was bowing its head.
“Don’t let the Empire overtake what is ours again! “Show the continent’s strength so that the empire can never threaten our lives again!”
“Oooooh!”
“Long live the Allies!”
“Long live Baek Woo-jin!”
All of the Allied Forces followed Baek Woo-jin and stabbed the sky with their weapons.
Quaaaaa!
A magnificent secretary came down on top of the enormous military banner created by Baek Woo-jin and the Allied Forces and burned everyone’s blades to black.
“let’s go! “This is the last fight!”
Baek Woo-jin kicked the ground. The thunderbolt of the Water King was wrapped around the burning river and launched an island of lightning.
Crumbling!
When the gigantic lightning island that seemed like thunder was about to divide the imperial army, two rays of swords struck from the air.
Kwaaaaang!
Lightning Island melted onto the earth in two streams of flashing white rivers.
Cooung.
Above the fading thunderstorm, the Imperial Two-Sword Buranga and the Imperial Three-Sword Moian stepped forward.
“We are your opponents.”
“I don’t care about pride anymore.”
A powerful energy blazed above the blade of the Imperial Three Swords Moian, and the strong ring superimposed on the sword play of the Imperial Two Swords Buranga gave off a vivid light.
“under!”
Baek Woo-jin did not stop walking. He smiled brightly at the two prosecutors who were at the absolute top.
“Shall we be the two of you?”
