Episode 179
[Notice: The magic crystal of the twisted dimension gate has been destroyed!]
[Notice: The energy of the unrefined dimension disappears quickly!]
[Notice: The purification of the twisted dimension gate has been successful!]
….
[Notice: EXP has been obtained!]
[Notice: Go back to the palace and claim your reward!]
“Hoo-wook. Hoo-wook.”
The man gasped, leaving behind the system message floating in front of him. With his back straight, his chest gazing aimlessly at the collapsed, twisted portal, his chest moved regularly with inhalation and exhalation.
Indeed, the scenery surrounding the man reminded him of a battleground, or a natural disaster in the middle of a catastrophe that once swept through it, but that kind of thing didn’t even give him any inspiration.
Even more, the reason why the figure of the man standing in the middle of the ruins seemed to have nothing to do with the scenery around him was because he was surprisingly normal except for the fact that he was breathing heavily.
Under the hood and antique white robe embroidered with gold, a man whose eyebrows and features blended with his white skin seemed to shine.
Thus, a man with an ivory-colored, sleek staff with a bird-shaped statue holding a raw crystal in his mouth and its spread wings wrapped around his tall body.
It was King Arthur.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“you’re welcome. I haven’t done much.”
“Yeah, it’s not like that. However, their skills are slightly better than those that smell like blue milk.”
“It’s an overstatement.”
“Of course, it can’t be helped that it smells like milk.”
When a figure appeared on the right side with a crackling voice, King Arthur smiled and turned his head.
He was a short old man, standing only 1 meter 50 cm, with his arms bent behind his back.
However, the old man’s attire was by no means inferior to King Arthur’s, and the energy emanating from his diminutive body was so profound that it could move a mountain.
Even as King Arthur, who has a dark color inside of him, revealing his appearance prematurely was tantamount to inviting death.
Even more so, if that old man was not a common user, but one of the continental people living here on the continent of Arcia.
Or if it is a person whom all those who seek magic do not hesitate to adore and do not hesitate to rank among the rumors as one of the best by far.
It could be said that it was very natural for King Arthur, who had never been evaluated this way in front of anyone, to bow his head so submissively.
[Hildebrigne de Garcia]
One of the five swords of the Empire and an old wizard who has lived for over 300 years. As the Grand Master who taught Adelecia von Walcroft, and at the same time as the guardian deity who protects the empire, she is the only person other than the emperor who is allowed to be praised. The one and only Grand Duke of the Imperial Khan.
Although his origin is unclear, questions are often raised as to whether he is a human being, but he does not deny that he was born in the era of fierce battles before the empire was established, and he accepts it as it is and is recorded. He is also known as the Margrave of the Southern Continent and a close friend of Shinchang Akrasia Yu, and is also famous for having some adventures with the great hero Leo Lexient.
Through a month-long discussion about the truth of magic with Dragon Lord Araxiab, he was recognized as his companion for the first time as a human being, and he was accepted as a human being who was not affirmed as a human being, but he was actually “born as a human being and will die as a human being.
” It’s just that it’s not the time yet.”
abbreviated with the word However, because of those words, it seems that the total strength of his body and the total amount of knowledge he has mastered in all things surpasses that of human beings, which is nothing more than what he himself has declared.
Race: Human
Affiliation: Empire Khan

.
He was the living myth of the Imperial Khan and the monster among monsters that transcended race.
“Anyway, looking at you and the skills of your subordinates, I don’t think this old man needs to step forward. It will only be cumbersome to you.”
“It’s cumbersome…don’t say that. I can’t even stand up to the far-flung younger students.”
“I won’t bother asking. Even if you don’t say what your intentions are, they will resonate in your ears.”
“That’s…”
“I’ll tell His Majesty the Emperor well. All you have to do is take care of yourself so that no gossip comes out.”
“…All right.”
“then.”
Dig!
After Hildebrynue said that, he disappeared in front of his eyes as if he had never done that, and King Arthur smiled all over his face.
It was a gentle smile that contained no discomfort whatsoever.
However, the reason why that smile remained as hard as a stone even after Hildebrinho disappeared was, as he said, whether it fully reflected his intentions or whether he was preparing for Hildebrinho’s return.
And until someone called, King Arthur’s body did not show the slightest movement in its standing position, not because someone forced his body or used the power of a potion such as a time stop potion.
[Notice: WARNING! Warning!]
[Notice: Mighty magic of unknown origin covers the battlefield!]
[Notice: Be very careful not to destroy the mana hole by resisting the magic!]
Wizards, including him, are lined up on the battlefield for many kilometers before you know it. To the extent that a system warning message pops up in front of their eyes.
An implicit warning not to act hastily surrounded the entire mountain with a large-scale anti-magic field.
“Are you okay, young master?”
“What else is not okay? Not a single hair was hurt anywhere.”
A man with skinheads who had been shoved away walked over and asked him how he was doing, and King Arthur moved his body from where he was standing.
It was not wrong.
However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the damage he suffered while attacking the twisted dimensional gate with his blood ally Emperor Blood was extremely insignificant.
Although, through Hildebrynue’s lecture on magic in practice, he had to go on a forced march against the last guardian, pouring out all of his magic power.
It was an undeniable fact that there was not a single scratch on King Arthur’s body, except for the fact that his body was accompanied by a feeling of lethargy as heavy as water-soaked cotton.
‘It’s like a scary old man. I never thought I’d get all my money in this way…’
Flash!
King Arthur’s eyes were shining as if he couldn’t hear anything for a while despite the report of his aide, Dildant, maybe it was because he didn’t hear anything other than the opponent he couldn’t see.
More than the numerous benefits obtained by Emperor Blood working with the Principality of Parma to purify the twisted portal in the Far East.
It is more than just that he experienced a dramatic increase in the power of existing magic and a completely unexpected kind of magic operation through this expedition.
The fact that he felt shame, as if his whole body had been trampled upon by Hildebrynne’s method, which made him shake off not only his base of magical power, but also his innermost parts.
An unbearable sense of humiliation, as if his identity had been invaded, which was more important than anything else to the current King Arthur, was rapidly running through his body.
“Also, through this expedition, I believe it will be helpful to maintain connections with the Khans of the Empire as well as the numerous magic towers in the Principality of Parma. Of course, selling Hildebrinho de Garcia’s name isn’t a good way, but if…” ”
What happened to what I ordered the other day?”
“Are you talking about the Seven Star Blood Pledge like the first time?”
“Including that. And the rest.”
Wow!
As King Arthur turned and headed down the mound, Dildant followed him.
At the same time, it was a bonus that a magic scroll protruded from Dildant’s arms.
It wasn’t a particularly noteworthy scroll, but it seemed familiar enough that even a passing dog knew that it was a return order that cost tens of thousands of gold per sheet.
Moreover, the fact that the letter of return is a spell that warps to a designated place, not to the nearest town, was something that could only be known after they moved from the battlefield in the Far East to the clan hideout with a spacious red carpet.
“I have achieved my goal… but I have not yet obtained what I wanted.”
“You haven’t gotten your hands on it yet? Does that mean you’ll get your hands on it soon?”
“yes. It is an unchanging fact that you will get what you want at will.”
“Hmm…”
Jerk off!
Soon after, King Arthur walked out toward the seat of power at the end of the spacious red carpet hall.
“As in the beginning, it turns out that the Seven Star Blood Pledge was ready for an all-out war due to a minor dispute in the Temple of Orike. In the meantime, it was rumored that there was another ulterior motive by using it as a smoke screen, but it has not been confirmed that the work that the young master ordered served as a fuse that led to an all-out war between the two clans.”
“I guess so. There is no way a mediocre citizen would know what a high-ranking official in the clan would know.”
“yes. Therefore, it is not too difficult for us to expand the occupied area due to the loss of power of the two clans and the prolongation of the war, so it is believed that the advancement to the southern continent will be carried out as intended.”
“How long do you think it will take?”
“I believe it will be in the near future… right after the Warped Portal closes and the Battle for Islands update ends.”
“A month at the earliest… about two months at the latest?”
“Yes, Bocchan.”
“Not bad. Not too long.”
As King Arthur sat on the throne and crossed his legs, Dildant lowered his head. It was because the atmosphere felt in his way of speaking was not the feeling of being inspired by anything, unlike the positive affirmation.
That would be the case, because the man in front of me was the kind of person who was more interested in the value of what he missed rather than the value of what he held in his hands.
“So— you didn’t get your hands on Ironguard? And acquiring Kim Chun-sam and Iron Guard is something that can only be attempted after Seven Star collapses, like the first two months later?”
“…I’m sorry, Bocchan.”
Then, when King Arthur asked back to Dildant, Dildant bowed his head deeply toward him with a short silence.
Looking at it as a whole, it was like one success and one failure, but it was just a failure to his current master.
“I wish I could put it a little easier. Why couldn’t those old people get down on their knees?”
widely! widely!
Soon, King Arthur’s < +12 Wings of Tetra > began to resonate over the marble in the empty hall.
