Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 189

§ 189. Method of penitence (1)

After the prince climbed up the Demon Tree like the wind and disappeared above the treetops with lush branches.

Kiiiiii… … .

When the magic beast suddenly stopped moving and began to shrink, Bruno realized that the prince’s plan had succeeded.

“… Did you finish it?”

But the joy was short-lived.

The group was shocked as they watched the remains of the Demon Tree sinking faster than expected.

The tree was shrinking in size until it completely crumbled and disappeared into thin air. Like most dead demons, they are quickly being summoned back to the Demon World.

Oh, wait! if it goes like this… … !

“Your Majesty Mores!”

just as expected.

The prince’s body, which floated in the space left behind after the demonic count disappeared, soon began to fall downward at a rapid pace. As if something had happened above, he was drooping down as if he had completely lost consciousness.

“Lowering!”

Sir Masaine, who had become thoughtful, threw his sword on the floor and ran towards the prince.

“this… … !”

Bruno also tried to raise a small amount of aura and stretched out his hand towards the falling prince.

However, it was not enough to support the boy’s body as he began to accelerate. Bruno gritted his teeth and thought.

‘It would be better if the consciousness of the lower level was still awake!’

When the first prince fell from the demonic water.

It was Sir Martha who safely caught the falling prince, but at the last moment, it was a large number of auras that suddenly materialized that decisively slowed the prince down.

And Bruno definitely knew that familiar Auror. A unique rough yet delicate aura that appears and disappears every time the prince meditates.

It was clear that the prince, who was inexplicably skilled in using Aurors, had unconsciously materialized Aurors when a crisis arose.

But now that I am unconscious, I can no longer hope for such a fluke.

‘… If only His Majesty came here now!’

However, Bruno, who glanced back at Sir Sharon with such a glimmer of hope, was soon unable to hide his look of disappointment.

This was because she was staring blankly into space and muttering non-stop as if she had completely lost her mind.

Even without that, the uncontrollable channeling was running wild.

“Have you come? Have you finally come?”

“But why are you doing this to me…?” … .”

“Wind, blow! Faster, faster, faster, faster, faster… … .”

“Mores, wait! Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, more slowly… … .”

“Ah, I see! We are waiting!”

But, is it just a coincidence?

Immediately after Sir Sharon started muttering, somehow, it felt like the wind swirling around them was slightly speeding up.

A wind that blows naturally, slightly different from the materialization of an auror, blows fiercely towards the prince from bottom to top.

At the same time, the speed at which the prince was falling was decreasing slightly. As if something was pulling him out of thin air.

‘… ‘How on earth did this happen?’

While the embarrassed Bruno glanced at Sir Sharon, her incoherent muttering continued.

“Ahh, I didn’t want to disappear like this!”

“Wake! Seongjin Lee! Seongjin Lee!”

“We are waiting for you forever.”

“Quickly, quickly, quickly… … .”

“Slowly, slowly, slowly… … .”

“You have answered our prayers, now just command!”

That moment.

An amazing thing happened right in front of the group’s eyes.

As the demonic tree disappeared, the demonic energy that had lost focus and scattered suddenly began to come together as if they had their own will.

And the demons soon flocked around the prince. As if countless hands were holding him.

Little by little, the speed of the falling prince is slowing down.

“Good luck dad! Hurry up! hurry! hurry!”

“Dad, Your Majesty! Daddy, Your Majesty! “Dad, Your Majesty!”

“Lee Seong-jin! Seongjin Lee!”

“I am waiting. Only if you come to us and command us… … .”

Now Sir Sharon was shedding tears incessantly.

Unable to control channeling, she ends up deeply sympathizing with even the faintest emotions that come with her thoughts.

It was the channeling of a sensitive psychic who could pick up even the faintest thoughts that Bruno could not even perceive.

“we are… Just be quiet… … .”

Stumbling.

With those words, Sir Sharon lost consciousness and fell to the floor. Her flagship, Bruno, quickly supported her and shouted.

“Lord Sharon!”

We hurriedly checked Sir Sharon’s condition, but fortunately she was breathing evenly. It seemed like it was probably a temporary side effect of excessive channeling.

Meanwhile, Prince Mores, whose speed had slowed further, was now slowly descending as if he were a feather fluttering in the wind.

“… How could this… … .”

The entire group stared blankly at the incredible sight, feeling entranced by something.

And finally.

The prince easily rested on Lord Martha’s arm, wrapped in the magic energy that surrounded him like a cradle.

* * *

Chellang-challang.

Nate slowly opened his eyes on the rippling water.

I always got extremely sick when I came out of the crevice, but every time, the artificial pond in the prayer room did its job well.

It is about eliminating the sense of disconnection from other spaces.

If you exclude the force you feel in your body as much as possible, you will be able to adapt to reality much faster when you return from a gap.

As I was leaving my body to the gently swaying waves, I naturally remembered the command my son had given me not long ago.

-Father, I have a favor to ask.

The day before he left the imperial capital, his son came to see him and boldly opened his mouth.

-ask.

-yes. I won’t be here for a while, and I feel really uneasy about just leaving.

Nate was dumbfounded.

Who is anxious about whom now?

-okay. What did you ask for?

-It’s very simple. If there is someone who opens a gap again while I am away, please give them a hard time. If there are people invading Delcross, put an end to them… . No, if you get rid of them before they invade… … .

-… … .

– Isn’t this it? Even if you only have the intention of breaking in, it’s better to do everything from the beginning… … .

Nate, who was watching his son diligently remembering everything that came to mind, couldn’t help but chuckle.

Even though it was never properly explained, the child seemed to have thought about his own role and wanted to somehow create cause and effect.

-It’s a waste of mental energy, Mores. In order to move cause and effect, you need a specific object that you perceive, whatever it may be.

Sigurd Sigurdsson, for example.

As long as he was hidden in the doll’s body, he was treated as a full-fledged human being according to the [Agreement].

Therefore, as long as he did not break the rules of this world or commit an act that was beyond the scope of humanity, cause and effect did not occur, and therefore the Holy Emperor could not touch him first.

That is the limitation of success required by the [agreement].

My son’s will was the only exception. The only condition here was that the son had to recognize exactly who his doll was and request it.

However, Nate cannot be the first to tell us about the identity of the doll. Because it violates the [agreement].

This was also the reason why Sigurd Sigurdsson had to throw away the doll immediately after his son discovered his identity.

As long as the son knows the identity of the doll, he can die at the hands of the Holy Emperor at any time at the son’s request.

-Do you mean that anything is useless unless it is a specific target? Hmm, then… ah! How about this?

The son pondered for a moment and said.

-If you get caught in a gap, always come back safely. father.

Hwiik.

A weak wind enveloped me and my son for a moment.

Nate was blinking blankly, and his son, who astutely noticed this, smiled brightly.

-haha. There was definitely a response this time! It worked, right?

okay. Perhaps the cause and effect created by that child was at work. Nate thought as he slowly rose from the surface.

The intruder this time was a rare, powerful alien monarch, but it was resolved relatively more easily than expected.

‘But I was away for quite a while.’

Beep-

As I impatiently open the channel, my head is filled with loud tinnitus. Because the gap had severely distorted the space, it seemed that channeling was not yet working properly in this area.

‘First, you have to get out of here and listen to the night report from Sir Sharon… … .’

Although the motion sickness had not completely gone away, Nate walked out the door of the prayer room, his feet dragging wetly.

However, the expression on Katrina’s face, who was waiting outside the door with a blanket, was somehow unusual.

“This is a message from Arenja, Your Majesty!”

Nate frowned at those words.

If something is urgent, wouldn’t it be okay to send a message directly?

It’s Kornsei.

It’s like a group of shrewd people who don’t even come near when a gap opens.

But at her next words, Nate’s face hardened.

“Prince Mores and his party are said to have encountered a demonic species called [Demon Beast]. The subjugation was successfully carried out under the leadership of the prince, but your Majesty was seriously injured… … .”

Nate didn’t listen anymore and expanded the channel.

However, Sir Sharon failed to respond to his call. It looks like he’s either unconscious or so severely overloaded that he can’t receive Nate’s thoughts.

Instead, he heard his children crying and desperately looking for him from somewhere.

[Good luck dad! Hurry up! hurry! hurry!]

[Dad, Your Majesty! Daddy, Your Majesty! Dad, Your Majesty!]

Without even having time to say anything to Katrina, Nate suddenly threw himself away and became a spirit.

-Faha!

Hearing Katrina’s cries in the distance, he began to fly towards the place where he last saw his son.

* * *

“Lowering! Lowering! Are you okay?”

Masain shouted urgently as he laid Prince Mores on the floor.

At first glance, the prince didn’t seem to have any major injuries, but for some reason, the fact that his eyes were continuously bleeding was unusual.

In addition, he never regained consciousness, and his forehead was as hot as a fireball.

“Call the priest! “Hurry up and treat me!”

However, no one was willing to approach them. It was because of the demon energy that surrounded the prince.

Masain, who noticed this, tried to disperse the demonic energy by stirring it with his hands, but strangely, the demonic energy that had gathered around the prince did not fall easily and only continued to circle around him.

“Lord Masaine! For now, avoid Gyeongdo!”

“Erosion is already happening!”

As he said, numerous black stains were already forming on Masain’s face and arms.

Although he was a member of the Seonghwang family that was relatively strong in demonic energy, he had no choice but to continue to be exposed to dense demonic energy. It was the result of not caring for the prince earlier.

Even in this terrible demonic energy, is it fortunate that the prince still shows no signs of erosion?

But at this rate, it was only a matter of time.

“Let’s purify the demon energy first!”

Not only Sir Valery, but also the hastily summoned priest Gustav was mobilized and began to pray to purify the demonic energy.

However, as the car was stamping its feet without any significant results, there was a sharp voice scolding Manager Bruno.

[You idiot! What are you doing if you don’t shout out loud?]

‘… ‘Red?’

Bruno asked in surprise.

‘How did this happen? ‘What on earth happened up there?’

[That’s not important now! What is that crazy paladin doing? Quickly tell him to call his father!]

Then Bruno answered with a disappointed look on his face.

‘As you can see, Sir Sharon is unconscious right now. ‘It’s impossible right now.’

[what? But are you letting go like this? Then shouldn’t you call him quickly?]

‘But Red. With my poor channeling, I cannot convey my thoughts all the way to the ecliptic. Moreover, I am not even a vessel worthy of containing Your Majesty.’

[Then wake up the crazy paladin quickly! Without borrowing his body, it will be difficult for him to do anything even if he comes here. It will have a big impact on cause and effect!]

The Demon King, who was furiously scolding Bruno, suddenly shouted in surprise.

[uh? what?]

‘Why are you doing this, Red?’

However, General Manager Bruno also immediately noticed the abnormality. Dekaron Knight’s keen senses detected the subtly heavier density of the air.

“What is this?”

Priest Gustav and Sir Valery, who were in the middle of prayer, looked up in confusion.

Suddenly, I felt like the whole place was filled with divine power.

A sacred feeling, like when you enter the ecliptic and encounter grace for the first time. An aura that ranged from reverential to frightening filled the air around them.

and.

Coo!

With a strange pressure pressing down on the area.

It’s a disaster.

The demonic energy surrounding Prince Mores evaporated all at once and soon disappeared without a trace.
