Episode 209. Iron-blooded guardian ‘Empire’ (3)
The conference hall where all the attendants were frozen.
gulp!
The sound of dry saliva was heard everywhere.
– To think that such a talented person
would suddenly drop.
-Being a duke is not just a dream. Doesn’t that mean you have the same level of skill as the commander of the best knights in the empire?
-With this, you will surely be able to win the war against Murim. cancer don’t
It was regrettable that he was not a descendant of an aristocrat with guaranteed lineage, but if he was a skilled Grand Sword Master, he could tolerate the difference in status.
In particular, the current situation of the empire is preparing for a war against Murim.
It hurts to talk about how valuable talented people are.
It was a time when everyone was warming up and looking for the right moment to talk to Jinhyeok.
“What are you all attracted to right now! You don’t even think about pulling out that wicked magic-using heretic right now!”
A new figure intervened.
Age is about mid 40’s.
Although he was not a warrior, the sharp momentum flowing from his body surpassed that of a warrior.
I was able to guess who the opponent was without having to use the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
Duke of Beinstelln.
He is the most powerful person in the empire both in name and reality, threatening the imperial authority, and an insider spy who has joined hands with Murim.
I came face-to-face with the person involved in the information I heard from Gandhara.
“Bee, Duke Weinstein?”
“What do you mean heresy?”
A commotion arose once again at the sudden remark.
However, Beinstein dismissed everyone’s doubts with a single stroke.
“Didn’t you guys see the author use a black aura blade?”
A normal aura should have a bluish tint.
However, Jinhyeok’s aura was dark black due to the effect of ‘Sword Grave’.
“Come to think of it…”
“Certainly the color is strange. Something like that… It’s something you’d only see in Necromancers or Moorim.”
“Isn’t it an Aura Blade?”
Unlike the past 17 kingdoms, it currently consists of 7 kingdoms.
The fact that it is a holy empire that serves the goddess ‘Ferris’ has not changed.
It means that the whole people and the leadership are extremely sensitive to infidels.
Beinsteeln took advantage of that and tried to pressure Jinhyeok.
“Hey. Your status keeps changing. From Murim to pagan. Later on, you might even hear that you’re a devil.”
“If you feel unfair, surrender your armaments and surrender. If you do, I will give you a chance to protest through a fair trial and interrogation.”
“Can ‘fair’ be an adjective for torturing you like a parrot until you say what you want?”
Jinhyeok smiled.
I’ve heard this repertoire so many times that it’s not even fresh.
So…
“If you have something to say, ask for it with your skills.”
The tip of the dagger was pointed at Beinstelln.
“You have excellent skills, but you seem to have trouble grasping the situation. What are you going to do by coming here alone?”
This is an empire.
It is also the place where the most important military meeting is held.
Even though the captain of the guards was absurdly out of pace…
This means that a ‘real person’ who can replace such a guy can be called at any time.
end with that.
that buck
I started hearing footsteps.
The air has changed.
‘Is he coming as well?’
Jinhyuk’s eyes turned toward the door.
Still, I wanted to go a little easier, but I don’t think it will be that way.
“Hmm. We’re not too late, are we?”
A pleasant voice came from outside the conference room.
Age is around early to mid 20’s.
He is a man with blond hair and green eyes in casual clothes.
At first glance, you might think that he looks like an innocent-looking bachelor from the neighborhood, but you should never overlook his appearance alone.
The most powerful weapon possessed by the Empire.
He is a Grand Sword Master who is evaluated for his strength surpassing that of the knights who are all sword masters.
‘Ebraham de Felicia.’
I never thought I would see this venom again so soon.
In addition, next to Abraham was even Mackenzie, one of the top 10 in the empire.
I thought that both of them would have gone to the front line to deal with Moorim by now
…
It occurred to me that maybe other variables, not just the empire, intervened.
Jinhyeok read the opponent’s status window through the ‘Eye of Gluttony’.
——————————————————

——————————————————
[Details: Ebraham, the eldest son of the prestigious Felicia family in the empire, felt magical powers from the age of five and showed a natural talent for swordsmanship. . And at the age of 16, he reached the level of a sword master who could fully possess the form of an aura, and at the age of 24, he realized the reason of the aura and rose to the level of a grand sword master. It wields the sword for nobles, not for the emperor, and is especially known as a direct line of duke Weinstelln.]
[Copy conditions: Abraham cares deeply for his best friend and colleague, Mackensie. However, Mackenzie, a perfect knight, has been suffering from a disease that even a court mage could not help from a young age… If you open the wound, you will be able to copy one of Ebraham’s unique abilities and skills. Please add a creative comment.)]
Indeed…
I have nothing to say other than just reading the stats.
Leveling over 100 is great, but even ‘super sense’, a stat that allows you to anticipate the opponent’s movements, is a three-digit number.
‘It’s a complete monster.’
It is a specification superior to any player or resident I have ever met.
To the point of being out of the norm.
The fluff that stood up all over his body and his fast beating heart felt unfamiliar.
At the same time, a strange feeling of anticipation surged up at the thought that the higher I climbed the tower, the more I would come into contact with such a formidable enemy.
‘The whole pumpkin came in by the vine.’
No matter what method is used, the copy condition must succeed.
In particular, ‘Speed Sword’ should have good synergy with the currently stored skills.
Assuming that you can get a higher version of the skill through fusion… Well, if you miss this, you won’t be able to sleep properly for a month.
however.
“…!?”
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s eyes as he checked the most important radiation condition.
It had to be.
Mackenzie is perfect in everything from martial arts to bloodline.
His only scar and trauma was because of his manly, empty head.
＊＊＊
“Heh heh. Nope. He came right on time.”
Beinstelln burst out laughing with a face as if he had gained the most reliable ally in the world.
“That’s fortunate. So, is this the intruder who aimed his sword at the royal guardsmen?”
“Gan is a friend who came out of the ship. He dared to commit disrespect in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Let the Lord himself tell you what a grave sin it is.”
“All right.”
Abraham reached for the sword.
Right then.
“There is no need to go all the way to Sir Abraham. Leave this to me.”
Mackenzie took a step forward.
“Is it just that your body is itching? The Duke gave me an order.”
“It doesn’t look good for the Empire’s first sword to go against just one intruder.”
“Hmm. That’s true, too. What do you think, Duke?”
“I don’t mind as long as the author can handle it.”
Weinstein agreed.
OK.
Booung!
The two-handed sword that seemed like it could split even a rock in one blow headed for the ceiling.
slow down
The aristocrats who were watching took a step backwards without realizing it.
It was obvious that even if they were involved, they would not be able to extract even the bones.
“Gulp. The author is now dead.”
“I never thought I’d see the power of cutting off a Wyvern’s head… with my own eyes.”
“It won’t be easy to collect the corpse, not to be captured alive.”
However, Mackenzie’s steps, which confidently stepped forward,
came to a halt at the words that followed.
match! match! match! match!
“You can’t bother the owner… It’s a loyalty that can’t really come out of ‘hair’. It would have been nice if that rich loyalty remained in the hair.”
Jinhyuk clapped his hands.
“omg!?”
“Gee, what now?”
“Are you insane?”
The nobles breathed in vain.
Jin-hyeok dug out something that everyone was implicitly tabooing, so of course I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
It was Mackenzie, who pretended to be strong and was silently concentrating on training.
In fact, no one in the Empire knew how stressed he was due to his hair loss.
“…this.”
“…!”
Not only Weinstelln but also Pennheimer, who was acting flawlessly, was taken aback.
‘shit. I know.’
He knew better than anyone that it was too much.
But what can I do?
If the copying conditions are set like this, it is the player’s destiny to follow them accordingly.
“I will kill you!”
bang!
Mackensie kicked off the ground and took off.
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two narrowed, unbefitting of their ignorant size.
A blue aura blade filled the room.
In contrast, in Jinhyeok’s ‘Fang’, the strong energy tinged with the sword surged nearly 1m.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Kwaaang!
As the two swords collided, blue and black sparks rose.
A confrontation between pure strength and power.
Mackenzie, who was in a relatively high position, pressed her sword from top to bottom.
Cuckoo Cuckoo!
“It’s heavy.”
“Don’t smile and focus on the present moment. I don’t know how long you can last with those weak arms and legs.”
“No matter. No matter how muscular my limbs are, are they weaker than you without ‘two feet’?”
“Kuaaaaa!”
Mackenzie broke her balance at once and swung her sword.
The entire desk was cut off, leaving traces of swords on the walls.
However, the blow did not reach Jinhyeok.
Jinhyeok fluttered like a flying squirrel and headed to the corner of the conference room.
‘This is the second…’
I wanted to achieve the end here, but if I did more, the nobles might get hurt.
‘My purpose is to prove my worth to the emperor. It’s not about annihilating nobles.’
Besides, with this, the first impression was firmly imprinted.
It was a different start from what I expected, but it wouldn’t be bad to have a spectacular start like this from the beginning.
“no way…!”
Ebraham, noticing the strange feeling, immediately drew his sword.
Of course, it was a step too late.
[‘Glacial Formation’ and ‘Frost Mist’ are activated!]
Everyone’s vision is blurred.
A cloud of ice grains and steam began to fill the conference room.
“Tch. Let’s buy time by cheating…!”
There is no way to escape from here anyway.
Or just a rat in a dock… I wanted to say.
However, when the steam cleared, Jinhyeok’s figure had long since disappeared.
Instead, a passage leading to the basement appeared on the conference room floor.
and.
“…”
For the first time, the emperor’s face, who had been silently watching all of this, had strong emotions.
