Solo Max-Level Newbie Chapter 208

Episode 208. Iron-blooded guardian ‘Empire’ (2)

In front of Jinhyeok’s eyes, the blue status window blinked.

[You have chosen the Empire among the great powers of the middle class and the Murim.] [

Obtain the trust of the emperor of the empire, ‘Reinhardt III’, and lead the empire to complete prosperity.] [

If successful, ‘Be the first to conquer the tower’ The third perk for ‘Ja’ is unlocked.]

Exciting! pounding! pounding!

My heart was beating insanely fast.

Third perk!

‘I’ve been wondering why it’s been so quiet, but it only happens when it’s related to a big event.’

Greed passed in Jinhyeok’s eyes.

But it was only for a short while.

‘I don’t have time to enjoy the new event.’

Quaang!

Chunk!

Guard knights entered the meeting room and surrounded Jinhyeok in a circle.

All of them are knights who know how to handle Auras.

Among them, there were also high-level knights with sun-blood.

The gold dragon’s body is embedded in the armor.

Undoubtedly.

The Imperial Guard, called the heart of the Empire.

Sreung…!

The guards captain drew his sword.

“How dare you, where did you come from here! If you have black hair, you must be a spy from Moorim. You’ll have to confess how you got through the palace’s distortion magic and moved into space.”

therefore.

The space-travel artifact was given to you by the gentleman sitting over there?

Although Jinhyeok gestured towards Pennheimer to ask for help.

Pennheimer still looked at Jinhyeok with a mixed expression of anticipation and smirk.

shit.

If I believed in that old man, even 12 lives might not be enough.

If there were people who attended the masquerade, such as the Iron Chancellor of the Empire, it might be possible to clear up the misunderstanding, but unfortunately,

at this meeting, the people I saw then were nowhere to be seen.

‘Did you put this into the calculation?’

If so…

Jinhyeok quickly activated the ‘Eye of Gluttony’ towards the emperor.

——————— ———————————

[Details: Reinhardt, the first emperor who unified the 17 kingdoms and established a great empire. He has established an absolute position based on overwhelming charisma and brute force. However, as time passed, the imperial power weakened, while the power of the nobles grew day by day. Reinhardt III has been working hard all his life to reestablish such imperial authority… but at this rate, it seems that Reinhardt IV will never wear the crown.] [Copy condition: If you

gain the emperor’s trust, you can copy one of his skills. You will be able to.]

“…”

The emperor’s eyes are dead.

It must be because of a sense of shame about not being able to change the path to catastrophe despite having worked hard all my life.

A life that has been burned by using one’s own body as firewood.

Now, we have to light a fire once again in the heart of the old man who has not even left a residual fire.

Jinhyeok took out the ‘fang’ from the subspace inventory.

“Are you going to resist?”

The captain of the guard let out a laugh as if it were laughable.

“It looks like I was accused of being a Murim person unfairly, so will I stay still?”

“Ohhh. You’re not a Murim person? Then where on earth do you come from?”

“I came from outside the tower. Player… would you understand me?”

Everyone’s eyes were once again focused on the word player.

“…!”

“The author is a player?”

“Come to think of it, I heard that the intelligence department said there were people with dark hair outside the tower.”

“Are you saying you’re one of them? But I know the players haven’t reached the 10th floor yet, so how did they get here?”

Although most of the players were still on the lower floors of the tower, the potential and value of the players could not be ignored.

That’s right.

Residents imprisoned in the tower must pay a huge price if they go to the lower floors of the tower or go outside.

On the other hand, the players could freely go up and down the stairs free from such restrictions, and their growth rate was much faster than the residents.

In this war, of course, it means that it is a major resource that must be secured to go to the top of the tower.

“Sir Penheimer. Is what he said true? Aren’t you in charge of the player side?”

The captain of the Guard immediately tried to confirm the facts with Pennheimer.

“Well, I’m new to you.”

Naturally, Pennheimer denied having a relationship with Jinhyeok.

I was certain with this.

Pennheimer is now asking himself to get out of this situation.

‘Precisely, through the use of force… I’m guessing to show the emperor what kind of person I am.’

A shocking agent that will wake up the emperor who is drowning in lethargy.

At the same time, there are players who can prove that there is hope for the future of the empire.

You have to prove it here and now.

“I was expecting a leisurely tour… but I’ll pay for this later.”

Jinhyeok muttered and immediately injected magic into the sword.

Partchutsutsu…

A blue aura spread along the blade.

“Ohhh. You mean you know how to handle Auras? But you’ve learned quite a bit of the basics. However, it was a mistake to come here with only that level.”

The captain of the guards laughed.

And immediately, he shouted at the guards next to him.

“Macan!”

“yes!”

The Guard Knight who was called by name stepped forward holding the sword with both hands.

“Oh oh!”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to see the royal knights in action.”

“I’m looking forward to it. Take down the cheeky intruder immediately!”

The nobles who were watching waited for what would happen in the future with eyes filled with anticipation.

After all, the outcome is predetermined.

What was expected was the process leading to the result.

Cheers erupted from everyone at the thought of being able to see the greatness of the empire and the horrors of the invaders.

“Subdue it without killing it. It doesn’t matter if you cut off at least one arm and leg.”

“Please leave it to me.”

Macan took his stance.

A strong physique and basic skills forged through rigorous training.

Indeed, it is a royal knight that the empire is proud of.

Took!

With light steps, Macan quickly closed the distance with Jinhyeok.

It’s a good moment to do it at the same time.

The sword crossed horizontally toward Jinhyeok’s thigh.

however.

Boooooong!

The attack, which I thought was perfect, crossed the empty air.

Booung!

Boooooong!

This strike and three strikes…

They continued to attack, but the result was the same.

Rather, Jinhyeok went behind Macan and grabbed his back.

“Cats usually calm down when they hold them by the back of their necks. I don’t think they are people.”

“Eh, how dare you!”

Markan, who was full of medicine, tried to shake off Jinhyeok’s grip at once.

However, contrary to my thoughts, my body did not move at will.

＊＊＊

Jujutsu (柔術).

Jinhyeok grabbed the back of the Macan and skillfully shifted the center of gravity.

cooong!

Markan, who had stomped his ass rudely, struggled with his arms and legs on the floor.

Of course, it was only for a short while.

Kwadeuk!

It was because the merciless kicks crushed his chin.

For a moment, the surroundings became quiet as if ice water had been poured on them.

Even the mocking laughter.

Even the chattering noises that were leisurely.

…all gone.

Jinhyuk shrugged.

“No way, this isn’t the level of the Empire? If so, it’s very disappointing. This.”

An obvious provocation ensued.

What kind of dog is this in a place where His Majesty the Emperor and countless other nobles are gathered?

If we couldn’t deal with this right away, there would be nothing to say even if everyone was beheaded.

“Shane! Bayne!”

The captain of the Guard shouted again.

thud!

Percussion!

This time, two knights jumped at the same time.

The passing score was spread out as if it were measured with a ruler.

But even that seemed too slow to Jinhyeok’s eyes.

Sending only two people…

“I still haven’t come to my senses.”

Jinhyeok, who avoided the knife point by a piece of paper, moved his hand so fast that it was hard to see.

Fuck!

puck!

The handle of the dagger hit the back of the head.

The two knights couldn’t even dare to dodge or defend because they accurately loaded their strength and speed.

On the spot, Shane and Vairn, who had lost consciousness, collapsed from side to side.

It happened in an instant.

“Unbelievable.”

The guards commander’s mouth widened.

It was only now that I realized that the situation was not serious.

‘The movements are not normal.’

Seeing as they treated the knights like children, they must have been highly trained intruders.

However, no matter how good the body movements are, that’s all.

Acrobatics can never surpass skill.

“From now on, I will deal with it myself.”

The knight commander stretched out his sword.

Cuckoo coo!

The blue light that completely covered the sword body rose about 30cm.

A state where the shape is materialized, not simply at the level of forming an aura on the blade.

It meant only one thing.

A person who can handle a completed Aura Blade.

In other words.

It’s ‘Sword Master’.

“This is what an Aura Blade is. It’s on a different level from the one you’re using. I regret that I made fun of the Imperial Guard… Huh!?”

However, the guards commander’s eyes widened as if they were about to explode.

I was so shocked that I almost dropped the sword from my hand.

It had to be.

He proudly showed off what could be called the strongest skill, Aura.

The opponent also brought out the same thing.

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

A gentle light that burned the air began to take over the entire conference room.

It’s not just 30 cm.

The aura that rose to a height of nearly 2m had an obsidian color that seemed like it could be sucked in.

It is undoubtedly an Aura Blade.

It’s so perfect that you can’t even compare it to yourself.

rattle!

No matter how faceless it was, I couldn’t stop my limbs from shaking.

And none of the nobles said anything about it.

It was only natural for a rabbit to be frightened in front of a tiger.

“Such… a vivid Aura Blade.”

“So, is that a sword master? That man?”

“No.”

It was Merton, the foreign minister of the Empire, who denied it with a single stroke.

He was a person who had numerous interactions with the Empire and Murim, as well as with various powers of the Tower. Over the

decades, he met many strong people After seeing it, Merton was convinced.

“It’s more than that.”

Sword master’s position. A

dream state that only two in the Empire possess.

Grand sword master.

His bones were so strong that he had to learn how to hold a sword before he could even walk. It is a realm that can be reached

only when cutting training and a talent that only comes out once in 100 years are combined… no,

it is a realm that can be reached only when innate luck is supported
