EPISODE.98
A superman among superhumans.
It is said that a wizard who has reached the level of the 8th Circle can take on a nation alone.
As the two 8th Circle wizards run wild, a cabal of traitors.
The Archduke’s personnel are swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
At the same time, the tide of the war also turned rapidly.
The royal forces, who had been on the defensive and focused only on defense, began to launch a counterattack with the help of the two archmages.
It seems as if they are proving that the record in a book, that it is literally a national level force, is not a lie.
It has to be that way.
Lord of the Flame Tower, Daria Snowwhite.
And the window master, Hemingway Melville.
These two men were the greatest deterrent to Archduke Bismarck’s ambitions.
It was because.
The reason why he even prepared the keystone for the Bongma with the help of the cult members was as a means to tie the two together until everything was over.
however… … .
Kwagwagwagwagwa-!
The groundwater rose as if it were a geyser.
The stream of water that seemed to wet the sky fell down like rain.
Shoot ahhh.
The water piled up and piled up all at once.
Kwaaaaaa!
A tsunami tens of meters high.
The archduke’s troops were swept away in one fell swoop by the torrent that raged like a roar. What was even more surprising was what happened after a tsunami swept over the area.
Shootaaa-.
Streams of water spread out all over the place, flowing between buildings, and the weightlifters, excluding the kingdom army, were once again pushed out by the water.
A movement as if the water stream itself had a will.
It has to be that way.
Shootaaaaa-.
Because it was Hemingway Melville who was now controlling this stream.
When it comes to water attribute magic, she is strong enough to outsmart even Daria.
Are you saying that there is no one in the kingdom who can compare to him when it comes to controlling water with magic?
The sight of him standing tall on top of a huge tidal wave and controlling the stream of water like a maestro was truly the great sage of water.
Moreover, there was not just one maestro commanding the battlefield.
Hwa-rak, Hwa-rak!
Flame dwarves appeared from nowhere and flocked without stopping.
Cute dwarfs that are only about the size of an adult man’s waist.
However, the power they possess is close to that of a knight.
In other words, Daria is the equivalent of leading a knightly order consisting of as many as 777 knights.
Moreover, the most difficult thing was their regenerative ability.
As long as their true bodies were not damaged and magical power was continuously supplied, they were able to regenerate several times even if they were cut down.
“Tsk-.”
Could it be that his mental strength was disturbed by the sudden turning of the tide? A groan flowed from the mouth of August Wolf, the archduke’s great swordsman.
Tadang-!
Sparks fly out along with him, and the sword breaker held in his left hand flies out.
Scream-!
With the sound of a heavy piece of metal rolling around on the floor, Gillian Pearlson burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Looks like you picked the wrong rope to hold on to! “Seungnyang, you bastard!”
It’s been half a day since the battle began.
Although his entire body was stained with blood from hundreds of battles that had lasted for more than a hundred years, he stretched out his hand regardless.
He grabbed one of his dozens of weapons that were lying on the floor.
Seogang-.
Khopesh, a deformed sword with part of the blade curved like a bow or half moon.
It is a sword that can be powerful enough to split bones, but many swordsmen avoid it because it is difficult to use.
But it didn’t matter.
His nickname was none other than Weapon Master, and there was no weapon in this world that he could not handle.
In a fight between superhumans who have reached a similar level, even a half-breath mistake can change the attack.
Kagaga River-.
Archduke Bismarck, who was behind August Wolff, frowned as he saw the wildly bouncing sparks and the sudden reversal of the situation.
He gritted his teeth and let out a roar.
“Blaine! Where are Blaine and Hypnos? I definitely said I would hold those monsters back… … ?!”
It was that moment.
Puseok-.
Something black fell from the sky and shattered beneath his feet.
“W-what… … .”
The Archduke took a step back without realizing it and opened his eyes. He checked what had fallen at his feet.
There were chunks of blackened charcoal scattered here and there, and about half of it looked like it had been smashed and blown away, but it wasn’t that difficult to recognize its identity.

“I couldn’t drag the guy who smelled like a corpse because he was covered in blood… … .”
Then a voice was heard.
“Anyway, I have appointed the person you are looking for.”
What appeared out of thin air along with him was a woman with a white dress fluttering like a robe and dark red flames covering her entire body.
“You f*cking bastard, His Highness!”
A voice you can’t tell if it’s respectful or abusive.
“──!!”
It was the moment when the Archduke’s plan, which he had dreamed of for decades and prepared with so much effort, finally came to nothing.
* * *
Three days after that.
Even though the rebellion had been suppressed, a chaotic atmosphere was spreading throughout the royal palace and the capital, and Alfonso Ratmos, King of Endymion, summoned the kingdom’s leading officials.
A great meeting convened, not only by the major and minor ministers and the tower owners of the Kingdoma Tower, but also by all the nearby great nobles.
The main palace, which contained the living quarters and the conference room, had long since collapsed in a hideous manner due to an attack the previous day.
The venue that was chosen as the venue was one of the villas that suffered relatively little damage due to its location at the rear of the royal palace.
It has to be that way.
“Your Majesty the King.”
With the chamberlain’s voice, Alfonso Ratmos appears.
“Meet Your Majesty the King.”
“Meet Your Majesty the King.”
As soon as the gathered officials showed their respect, the king nodded and sat down.
He looks quite tired, probably because he hasn’t been able to rest properly for the past three days.
Although the throne was safely defended, there were still quite a few issues that needed to be addressed.
Perhaps that is why the country’s leading figures were summoned.
After checking all the people present, the King opened his mouth with a cracking voice.
“As the agenda is an agenda, I will skip all unnecessary steps and listen only to the main point. Let’s start by reporting the damage. First, the Minister of National Defense, and then the Minister of Finance. “Let me report.”
As soon as the King’s voice fell, the Minister of Defense and the Minister of Finance stood up, bowed their heads, and began reporting in order.
“First, let me report on the damage suffered by the capital’s defense forces. The total number of casualties that day was ─, of which the dead were… … .”
“Due to the rampage of the rebels, there is extensive damage in various places, but if I had to pick the area that suffered the most damage, it would be the royal palace and the west and south of the capital. The number of palaces that have collapsed is confirmed so far… … . Also, the number of collapsed houses… … .”
After hearing the report, the king sighed and spoke.
“Divide those who suffered damage that day into soldiers, knights, and officers, and compensate them appropriately for their ranks. Compensation and treatment should be provided to those with minor injuries, and pensions that are sufficient for those with serious injuries even after retirement.”
If it had been a normal war, compensation would have been obtained from the other country through an agreement.
“We must also treat all of those who died as those of national merit, prepare a memorial service and state funeral within a month, and provide appropriate compensation to their families.”
However, since it is a civil war, Endymion has no choice but to bear the damage.
“Next are the collapsed palaces and houses… … “It doesn’t matter if the palace is a little late, so I’ll start by rebuilding the houses of the common people.”
“Well, Your Majesty… … !”
A minister who was about to add another word was stopped by the king.
“stop. I know what you’re trying to say. However, it is better for my people to have a slightly uncomfortable bed than for them to lose their homes and be naked and starving on the roadside. That’s about the authority of the royal family… … “Hasn’t the situation already been reduced to treason?”
A short sigh.
“Even if it goes a little lower here, it won’t be a big deal.”
It is an appearance that shows where Hecate’s character of not neglecting and caring for people even though they are subordinates comes from.
When the treason broke out, the reason the subjects of the royal capital rebelled instead of joining the archduke was because of these things.
“Hwangtapju. “Is it possible?”
“… … All right.”
Most of the rebuilding of the building was handled by Hwangtap, which was familiar with land and stone. Nicolo bowed his head in response to the king’s question.
“Next is the loss of main power… … .”
He asked, looking back at the four magic tower lords present.
“What is the situation at the Magic Tower and the Academy?”
Hemingway was the representative and reported.
“yes. your majesty. The total number of magic towers that joined the traitor, Archduke Bismarck, was six, and among them, the Red Tower series… … .”
As reports based on accurate statistics flowed out, the faces of those sitting in their seats became strangely distorted.
As expected, the number of people who had to be eliminated due to this incident was not small.
“What’s more, if the enemy called the Empire is right next door, if they put forth that much force… … .”
“Huh. But doesn’t that mean we can’t just leave those who participated in the treason?”
“Even if the lay wizards who were inevitably swayed by the atmosphere end up with a light punishment—.”
“The significant number of war mages and tower owners who were directly involved must be punished.”
While everyone was secretly watching the King, the King asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
“What is the situation on the empire’s side?”
Normally, this was not an empire that would just ignore a situation like this.
Regardless of the possibility of starting a full-scale war, it was clear that they would at least try to launch a local war.
“I heard that the emperor’s illness is deepening. Accordingly, the struggle between the princes for imperial power is also intensifying, right?”
However, things were a little different now. In about a year, the emperor’s health began to deteriorate rapidly.
“yes. your majesty. “Not long ago, the 3rd prince started clashing with the 2nd prince, and the 4th princess is also said to be in a close confrontation with the 1st prince.”
“I don’t think the Empire can afford to attack first.”
That’s the end of the empire’s problems. He looked relieved for a moment, then this time he looked at Daria.
“Yeomtapju.”
“yes. your majesty.”
“Is it true that among the enemies, there was a superhuman-level cultist, and as he was dying, he left behind the curse written in the report?”
“This is something I heard clearly with my own ears.”
Besides that, there were many who witnessed his end.
Most of the people at Guinevere’s Palace who survived that day heard that voice.
“It is darkness and an end that has not yet ended… … .”
I scoffed at it, saying it was a line that only a third-rate villain would say, but I still felt uncomfortable in the end.
“Yeomtapju. “I will leave all discretion to the Lord, so set up a separate organization to closely monitor the movements of cultists.”
“I will do as you command. your majesty.”
In addition, there has been a lot of talk about various agenda items.
With most of today’s agenda nearing completion, the King turned the pages of the document in front of him.
“Is what’s left a business? … .”
At the top was a list of those who had made significant contributions in suppressing this treason.
1. Gillian Pearlson
2. Daria Snowwhite
3. Hemingway Melville.
The King’s eyes, as he was carefully examining the list, were fixed on one spot.
‘haha. Even though I am not a superhuman, I stand shoulder to shoulder with superhumans… … .’
Instead of mumbling to myself, I corrected my thoughts.
‘no. Now, it would be difficult to say that he is not a superhuman.’
According to the report, the fourth person on the list was a person who became a superhuman in name and reality.
‘No way, the youngest superhuman on the continent… … I never thought it would come from our Endymion, and from my generation too.’
The King’s gaze glanced once again at the list immediately below.
4. Russell Raymond.
… … .
