Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 44

044. Premonition (2)

[I told you not to mess around like that. I know where the law is and I am not afraid… … .]

[No, father, Your Majesty. Even though I suddenly died like this, I still protected Delcross from the threat of the demon world!]

My son pouted his mouth again as if he was feeling aggrieved. He couldn’t even say a part of what he wanted to say, but now he knows how to protest when his father scolds him for having a slightly bigger head.

As he opened his mouth to say one more thing, a scene flashed through Nate’s mind.

It was the outskirts of the Delcross capital shrouded in black smoke. Parts of the residential area were completely destroyed, and casualties were visible here and there. The appearance of the Knights of St. Grazier rescuing people comes into view.

On one side, the Knights of Saint Marsyas and Saint Aurelion were fighting together against monsters that looked like giant moths. The odds of victory were on this side, but the damage suffered by the Knights was also significant.

And far in the sky, an ominous hole can be seen wrapped in black whirlwind clouds. A huge number of moths continued to fly out of the large open black hole.

The video ended in a split second.

This is a short flame image created by Nate’s premonition. A disaster that would have definitely occurred if my son had not intervened.

Nate, who found out about the incident, would have eventually returned and closed that gate, but the damage that would have occurred in the meantime was something he could not ignore.

In the end, he had no choice but to say this with a shocked face.

[that… Well done.]

Heng. Watching her son’s face suddenly become more confident, Nate realized that he had completely missed the moment to nag her.

A little lost, his eyes caught the sight of a small soul held by his son. It is now so ruined that it is almost insignificant, but with its ominous red glow, it is definitely one of those evil things that would not be relieved even if you beat it to death. Perhaps that is what attracted my son this time.

But just like the first time, Nate decided to ignore this annoying thing.

When his son came into the throne room recently after suffering from a fever, Nate had a premonition the moment he first saw him. That insignificant thing would remain by my son’s side in the distant future.

-Please do not blindly trust your premonitions.

That said, Kornsei, the old man will never understand.

Some of those premonitions are not just predictions, but future events that must happen. That child’s actions will continue to lead to embracing the wrong things together.

[Can you please tell me what my soul looks like now? How did you know that I suddenly died?]

Nate’s son, who has no way of knowing his complicated thoughts, asks a difficult question with a bright face. You immature thing.

Additionally, it seemed like they had been staying at the border of the dimension for too long. Nate suddenly felt an unpleasant gaze scanning them, so she quickly placed her barrier on her son’s soul.

It seemed to have caught the attention of one of the unusual things that sometimes visit this place from outer space.

Since the two original worlds that were connected were separated and the dimensional wall was weakened, they have occasionally been staring at this side with greedy eyes, as if they were looking at very appetizing food. However, those who seemed ready to rush in at any moment tried to touch the border a few times and then calmly returned.

Perhaps Nate, who was pointing his blade at them, was just waiting to die. Because their concept of time was difficult for him, a human being, to estimate.

Anyway, first I have to send my son back.

[Go now. Don’t worry Masain too much.]

Obviously, the child is blaming himself this time too. That stubborn guy shouldn’t be too shocked.

Nate once again reminded his soul of the place his son was designated to return to.

[Go back. [Mores].]

And you, this guy, take just one hit. There are degrees of worrying people.

Out of selfish interest, he fed chestnuts to his son’s forehead.

Sigh.

Kuek. The son’s soul disappeared towards Delcross in an instant.

Nate watched the direction the child flew for a moment, then pulled out a nutcracker in his right hand, held it, and waited quietly. I was wondering if the number of intense gazes coming from far away was increasing one by one, because one of them was flying toward the border at high speed.

The pressure on my soul becomes more and more intense.

Soon, something like black smoke began to creep around Nate’s soul. No, the sticky and heavy texture would be closer to mud than smoke. It gradually increases in volume on its own and soon begins to fill the empty border as if pouring out.

Grrrrrrrrr.

Afterwards, a strange sound, unknown whether it was a groan or a sigh, began to shake the boundary. He was so confident that he even brought in a part of the hell he was in and marched here.

Nate spread the light surrounding the soul a little further and pushed away the mud around it. Then she could be heard laughing, her phlegm boiling, as if it were ridiculous. Hahahaha.

In an instant, the scenery changed before his eyes. The surrounding area was a vast, deep cavity surrounded by black walls.

In that vast, endless space, Nate’s soul seemed to have become just a shining dot.

What looked like lumpy cilia were writhing on the black wall, and if you looked closely, you could see that each and every one of them was a soul that had been extremely hungry and skinny. It’s part of the hell he dragged into.

This guy was a member of [Kia].

Soon, a part of the wall split in front of Nate, revealing what looked like a black octopus with a bunch of huge humps. It had thousands of writhing, misshapen legs, so grotesque that just looking at it was soul-crushing.

Hahahaha. As the misshapen octopus burst out laughing once again, the lumps covering its body trembled.

[Are you the king of this place? It was a car I had always been curious about because he had been keeping an eye on it. However, although he has the status of a king, he is still not a human?]

Indeed, after looking at it, I thought it was quite worth a try. The boundary between dimensions is also ambiguous in its application of cause and effect, so the main body can be drawn without burden. That’s why I ran excitedly, leading my body, not my mental body.

For the past few days, I was a little tired of trying to fit my soul under the rules of the normal world and then trying to get out of it. Still, it wouldn’t be to the point where I would look down on this guy.

Nate grumbled and grabbed the nutcracker. However, his face became stiff for a moment as he continued to speak.

[What is that soul just now? It’s a shame they had to run away in such a hurry. Isn’t that also a very delicious looking young soul?]

Churrrrrp. The sound of him greedily licking his lips is conveyed without filtering.

Nate’s eyes cooled down. This is because it reminded me of Cayenne, which I left behind in the western mountains.

I tried to give a light greeting to the guest who came into someone else’s house, but now the desire to send him off nicely has disappeared.

When he straightens his sword and aims, the guy lightly laughs as if he is dumbfounded. Of course, that light laughter shook the walls of hell and the bound souls screamed.

[You’re trying to attack me with just a mental body, not your real body! Moreover, the spirit has not been able to abandon the trivial human habit of wielding iron, so how can it not be laughable!]

The octopus sneered as it stretched out hundreds of its thousands of legs toward the wall and dragged its massive body out.

As he said, now that his true body was gone, the Aurors, which could be said to be Nate’s greatest weapon, were difficult to use.

Of course, it was not impossible to bring an Auror here if he wanted to, but he was currently too far away from Delcross. If the power was increased here, the entire continent would fall into a state of auror depletion in an instant.

However, Nate also had the option of leaving his body.

It is near the boundary of the dimension. Even if I borrow a power I am not yet familiar with and cause a bit of trouble, the impact on the real world will be extremely minimal.

Once the decision was made, execution was simple. A small red dot appeared on the tip of his sword and slowly began to grow, covering the nutcracker. It became an ominously glowing red sword, and its length continued to grow until it reached dozens of meters.

[…] … !?]

He didn’t know.

For Nate, swordsmanship is not a human limitation that cannot be escaped; it is simply the most efficient way to exert power.

wickedness. The quietly swung nutcracker drew a red line in the air. It was a long line that stretched across one side of the wall of hell that it was opening, including its numerous legs.

Kuaaaaang!

And then the aftermath comes. The guy’s severed leg flew all over the place, and souls were pushed out tens of meters to the left and right of the line, temporarily creating an empty space in the wall of hell.

[radish… what?]

The octopus looked at his severed tentacle legs in confusion. I guess I never imagined that there would be a power that could so easily ignore and delve into the status of the original body.

The dazed look suddenly reminded Nate of the reaction of Balthazar, the Knight Commander of the SS, when he first showed this skill as an Auror, and he couldn’t help but laugh. The old man, who was extremely solemn, became stuttering as his eyes became as bright as a lantern.

At the time, knights who were only concerned with increasing the strength and range of cutting were astonished at the idea of ​​blowing the face of an auror blade and causing the auror to explode. In a way, the explosion of an auror meant lack of skill in auror management.

Although it has now become such a familiar technique in the imperial palace that even Masain can vaguely imitate it.

Anyway, there was a lot of waste just now. Perhaps because the nature of power itself is destructive, it would be okay to save a little more power than when using an Auror Blade. Should we reduce the width further?

Hwiik. The red light that was swung one after another had become thinner, almost to the thickness of a finger. Instead, its length is much longer than the first, reaching over a hundred meters.

Kuaaaaang!

Long wounds appeared on its body, and unsightly lumps along the road exploded at once. One side of the wall of hell was cracked long enough to create a gap.

Skinny souls began to flow out, screaming, through the open cracks. AA AA AA.

The deformed octopus seemed to have finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly pulled out his remaining legs and launched them at Nate, shouting.

[why? Why do you use the [catastrophe] of a world that has disappeared?]

[I borrowed it for a while.]

I got permission for something I needed to do. Because separating dimensions cannot be done with bare hands.

Hundreds of legs with terrifying power swing towards Nate. It was an overwhelming force that could instantly crush most souls with just a passing glance, but in his view, it was an extremely inefficient and self-destructive attack.

In fact, his legs were actually destroying the hell he had summoned. There are far more souls who are beaten and crushed by this guy than by Nate’s attack.

If each of those legs had been swung like the sword of a trained swordsman, even Nate would not have been able to deal with him so easily.

Anyway, that side is wasting power, so let’s save a little more power on this side. Should I try pulling it out as thin as a thread?

A line of [disaster] so thin as to be invisible appeared. This time it is a huge road, hundreds of meters long.

If you explode it as is, the power won’t be very satisfactory, but there is no other form that is as efficient as this for holding and swinging. Nate swung that long, thin sword as he pleased. All of the legs of the approaching bastard were cut off, and the walls of hell began to shatter along the sword’s path.

Soon after, the deformed octopus completely lost its strength and sat down. The passage to hell that he had summoned had already been destroyed and most of it had been resummoned, and only some fragments of the wall remained to support his body.

The starving souls clinging to the walls of hell are exposed to the border of the dimension, unable to overcome the bitter cold, and are frozen and crumbling one by one.

The sight of the octopus was nothing short of miserable. Most of the leg was cut off, and all the lumps on the surface were bursting and oozing out, making it look like a rotten pumpkin was settling down. A large eye that I thought was a lump blinks its eyelids and tears-like pus flows out.

Should I end it? Nate thought for a moment as he adjusted her nutcracker.

But what made him hesitate was the multiple eyes staring at them from beyond. In particular, the gaze of [Kia], who just watched quietly after sending her family away for fun.

Eyes waiting for something to happen. Is it possible that he is hoping to bring [disaster] further and cause us to lose balance? Or is there another trap hidden there?

Just then, a sight passed before Nate’s eyes.

A blood-red sky and a black earth covered with mud. There were dark red flames suddenly rising among the thousands of tentacles pouring down like rain.

The fire, which gradually grew in size in a storm of terrifying power that swept away everything around it, eventually transformed into the shape of a huge sword and exploded the sword’s face.

The deformed octopus’s legs and numerous humps burst out helplessly, unable to overcome the intense heat.

This time even Nate was truly surprised.

It wasn’t Nate himself who would end this guy once and for all.
