Even aside from the fact that I was the most suitable person, this was something I had to do.
The Fire Emperor of Sternil.
The guy I met before was crazy.
The guy who tried to kill the son of the Duke of the Empire.
There is no problem as long as you are simply crazy. If you look at the level of madness, I’m no slouch either.
There was something that bothered me. It’s his ‘armor’. An ominous weapon that has been bound and infested with countless souls.
At that time, the guy said.
The people of the kingdom are willing to sacrifice themselves for the sun.
Sasochwidae 捨小取大, sacrifice of a cow for the greater good.
He regarded the millions of citizens of Sternil’s kingdom as ‘cow’.
Whatever the plan is, this will end it.
I crossed the border with MacRaney’s help.
Crossing the desert, I observed the situation in Sternil. A series of catastrophes affecting humanity’s survival occurred outside the kingdom, but Sternil was quiet and tranquil. It’s not because it’s peaceful. It is oppression and control. Wherever I went, I saw soldiers. The soldiers wearing brass armor are soldiers of the sun, modified humans who only listen to the emperor’s orders. Slavery and mental remodeling of soldiers, which had previously been banned in Kunkan, were being carried out under the leadership of the kingdom in Sternil.
After arriving at the capital of the Sternil Kingdom, I headed straight to the Sun Palace. The Sun Palace is a sky island rising high in the center of the capital. The exterior is more ornate and grand than the royal castle where the king resides. As a temple dedicated to the sun god, it is the most religious and religious place in Sternil, which does not believe in Ajivica.
As a symbolic place, not even the royal family is allowed to enter the palace.
Just two days a year.
The Sun Palace is only open during the Solar Day.
The Golden Bridge, the only bridge leading there, was guarded with even tighter security than the royal castle. The entrance was full of turbaned knights wearing Shamshir. The commander who led them was a master-level strongman. Even when I passed them, I could see magic cracks all over the bridge. Magic circle? It’s a trap. As soon as I touch it, countless creative magic that takes away my life will come upon me. On the bridge railings, busts of gods were erected at intervals of 10 meters. Starting with the ‘Sun God’ that Sternil worships, he is a symbolic god to spiritualists, although the Empire does not believe in it. Even the bust of Artemis, the ‘goddess of the moon’. The bust was made of precious spirit stones and exuded powerful anti-magic power in preparation for the devil’s invasion.
Daa, daa.
“I’ll pick it up and give it to you when I get back.”
Yes, it is Dalby’s food.
After fully understanding the alert level, I thought briefly.
Should we sneak in?
or not-
“Hello!”
That’s right, there was nothing to worry about.
Standing in front of the golden bridge, I shouted in a loud voice.
“I came to collect my debt!”
There were three at first. Three guards, who thought I was a vagabond wearing old robes, trudged over to get rid of me. They could not walk five steps. It is often said that the spirit runs away. The act of closing one’s consciousness in the face of something that can never be faced. They won’t even know why they fainted.
Among the puzzled knights, the only person who understood the situation was a commander-level person.
I radiated energy and took control of the surroundings, and those who couldn’t hold on fell unconscious.
Those who withstood the momentum were practitioners who had mastered the technique.
Shamshir warriors running with red aura,
Clearly, their level was in no way inferior to that of the Imperial Knights.
“Wow!”
A person flies in the sky.
It is a bulletproof technique of self-defense that is unleashed by a martial artist who has reached the end of the flower world.
The warriors tried to cut me by swinging their swords, but instead the person they were swinging flew away.
I walked toward the bridge without hesitation.
No one stopped me.
Finally, only one person remained in front of the bridge, the leader.
The sword in my hand is trembling. Looking at his frightened expression, I asked kindly.
“Are you going to fight it when you know the outcome?”
“… “As I said before, it is an honor to meet you.”
“Oh, do you know me?”
“There is only one person who can annihilate the entire Kachima Army of the Kingdom with momentum alone, Pillar of Dawn.”
“But you still won’t let go of the sword in your hand.”
“We are the shield that protects the king. Even if you know that it will break, you must block the enemy’s sword. Even though that sword… Even if it is called the ‘sword of justice.’”
Ugh!
He shouted and attacked.
I chose Skade Mer to show respect for the brave.
Suddenly!
The sword and armor were cut off, but there was no damage to the body.
He collapsed with a helpless smile.
I passed by the warriors who were unable to fight and headed toward the golden bridge.
A 300M-long arched bridge leading to the Heavenly Castle.
Irregular and concentrated magical power felt everywhere.
As soon as I touch it, all kinds of traps will explode and try to kill me.
“hmm.”
I read the words engraved on the monument at the entrance to the bridge.
“Only a winged being could welcome God without the sun’s permission?”
The Golden Bridge was the only road to the Sun Palace.
I circulated my inner energy and concentrated it on my lower body.
Even though you knew it was a trap, you prepared for all sorts of dangers and ‘annoyed’ to break through?
Or, as the text suggests, fly through the sky and go to the Sun Palace.
The distance was well over 300m, but there was no problem.
A walk in the air.

A light ball that was essential to learn if you wanted to hang out with the damn twins.
Flap-!
Jump several meters in one step.
Fly tens of meters in two steps.
In less than a hundred steps, we reached the end of the golden bridge.
“How much is all this?”
It was even more amazing when I saw it up close.
The sun sign was entirely made of gold.
It was similar to the Sikh Golden Temple, but its scale was incomparable.
Nine golden pillars stretching toward the sky, an arched structure connecting them, a round roof symbolizing the sun, and a golden wall with an embossed sun pattern. Also, a huge golden door tens of meters high. Who on earth would have thought of spending this kind of money in a place like this?
Quaaaaang-!
If not this time, when will it happen?
Treating gold like a stone, I kicked down the huge golden door and entered the Sun Palace.
* * *
He was sitting on a high golden throne.
The golden eyes looking down at me were full of arrogance. He was as proud as his golden throne. The moment he saw him, he was convinced that the king sitting on the throne was no longer a lieutenant like before. He is insulted as a cowardly king, but he is the one who has protected the kingdom from the empire and the devil for a long time. He does not become king simply because he sits on the throne of Sternil. Because of what he had built up, he was able to confidently consider himself a ‘king’ standing above all the people, and he exuded the appearance of a king from his strength.
If someone is dangerous, kill them.
Even the smallest seeds of crisis will be trampled to prevent them from blooming.
I promised that, but my thoughts changed when I met the King of Fire in person.
He is a person that would be a waste to kill.
“Listen, King of Fire. The great emperor of the Kunkan Empire delivered nine suggestions… … .”
I personally read the emperor’s edict in front of him, which I had brought with me just in case.
alliance.
It’s about forgetting past grudges and joining forces to prepare for dangerous times.
In some ways, it may have been the shamelessness of a powerful nation, but the contents of the treaty were more beneficial to the kingdom. Non-aggression pact and obligation to send troops. Except for two, all of them are about the empire unilaterally promising support to the kingdom. There were forces in the imperial political circles who hated the Sternil Kingdom, but no one would have anything to say about the alliance proposed by the emperor himself. The Kunkan Empire is the largest country in the human world. Since the Demon Continent, its size has become so stubborn that even the Western Continent Alliance now considers the Empire to be its last bastion. As it may have been in the past, Sternil can’t stand the trend.
Even within a kingdom where hatred of the empire was prevalent, forces claiming an alliance with the empire have been secretly appearing since the Demon War. People who do not need to take responsibility ultimately put their own safety first.
“… “With the foregoing, I propose an alliance.”
Even as he read the edict, the Fire Emperor’s gaze was arrogant.
A gaze looking down at me without wavering.
Halfway through, I knew it wasn’t going to work.
He doesn’t want any allies.
The Fire Emperor said while resting his chin and glaring at me.
“Do you consider me a coward?”
There was no hesitation in his powerful voice.
“The alliance refuses. Demons will be nothing more than worms crawling through the mud before the brilliance of the sun god.”
He arose from a golden throne.
Open your arms and look at the sky.
The ceiling of the Sun Palace opens and sunlight seeps through the cracks. The reflector mounted on the ceiling moved.
By using reflectors and diamonds to focus sunlight, an even more brilliant radiance surrounded the king. The Fire Emperor shouted.
“The burden is the country and the sun.”
Due to the fire emperor’s self-absorption, I folded my arms and listened quietly.
“The demonic army is rampaging, but that’s it. They can never defy the sun. What’s more dangerous than that are you guys. “Kunkan, the traitor of the filthy pool of blood.”
Why is that bastard suddenly blaming the empire?
I listened to his remarks in silence.
Let’s hear what they are saying.
“The foolish people and foolish vassals were deceived by your cunning plan, but did you think you would dare to fool Jim, the representative of the sun? Kunkan is a seed of evil hungry for conquest, and its filthy blood is no different from that of the devil. No, it is more cunning and evil than the devil. I’m going to pollute this sacred sun kingdom again with blood. again… again!”
He was a king who was angry alone and lost his temper.
I shook my head and looked at him with pitiful eyes.
“You don’t know because you’re stuck in a place like this. Let’s go outside, get some sunlight, and draw. Tens of millions of people are suffering because of the devil? Even in the Sternil Kingdom right now… … .”
“Shut up! “How dare you try to make fun of me for some trivial reason!”
“It’s not trivial, bastard. “This is why talking to a crazy person is like disrespect.”
“If you insult me any further, I will definitely sacrifice your head to the sun god.”
I smiled and raised my middle finger. Even if he didn’t know the exact meaning, he realized that it was a gesture of insult. The guy’s face turned red, as if it had been scorched by the sun.
“Yes, it is called the Pillar of Dawn. Your arrogance must be due to the underlying power. However, even if you were born with the blessings of that pagan god, you are only insignificant under the brilliance of the sun god.”
The Fire Emperor took action. I thought about subduing it before it became more troublesome, but the situation that followed was interesting, so I put down the sword hilt. When the Fire Emperor pressed a certain part of the throne, the golden stairs moved and a glass pillar rose from within. The glass pillar was the destination of sunlight concentrated as a reflector. Inside the glass pillar was an ‘armor’ that was absorbing intense sunlight.
It was similar to the ominous weapon used by the lieutenant, but it was more vicious than that.
The ominous armor used by the former double. Hundreds of souls were writhing inside.
The soul is energy. I also used the soul stone as a medium to absorb the energy of the souls of the ancient kingdom of Melkaran. But soul and energy are separate things. I only absorbed the energy, but didn’t touch the soul. But those horse gloves were different. I don’t know what kind of magic it is, but it is absorbing the soul entirely.
“Crazy guy.”
It was more than just an insult, I honestly thought so.
The Fire Emperor is a crazy person. The soul that resides in that shining golden armor. Judging from the ‘size’ of the spirits that appeared to be Cheonan Tong, there were at least tens of thousands of spirits dwelling there. Even if a person has died a natural death, touching the soul of the deceased is the domain of God and is punishable by heaven. However, considering the scale of the Sternil Kingdom, I inferred that the Fire Emperor had committed a ‘bad deed’ in order to obtain the souls of Demon Gloves.
“I saw you before, you bastard. You would know the value of ‘Hator’. This is not a replica of that time. He is the true armor of the sun god and the angel who will save humans. Very beautiful. Holy and noble people who sacrifice their souls for the cause. “The burden will be on these people and they will save the world.”
The Fire Emperor stood next to the glass pillar.
“I will ask you again.”
He has not yet donned Hathor. Even though he looked flashy on the outside, he was ultimately a coward. He knows that once he puts on the armor there is no turning back, so he has no courage, he is a f*ucking coward.
“The angel wearing Hathor is an apostle who will destroy evil, but unfortunately, Jim does not have the ‘eyes’ to distinguish the devil. I mercifully invite you to be my eyes. If you do that, I will spare ‘Reinberg’ at least.”
If the Fire Emperor were strong, he would have recognized me.
From the beginning.
No, since I crossed the bridge.
I would have worn Hathor without hesitation.
He was a coward and a pathetic idiot. Did he think that if he kept his treasure with him, it wouldn’t be taken away? I immediately picked Skade Mer.
“Now, wait!”
The Emperor of Fire realized the situation and quickly moved. He hastily stretched out his hand towards Hathor. However, the Fire Emperor is an ordinary person who cannot even read chi. He let down his guard and said that if he just stretched out his hand, he would be within reach.
