Episode 93
“…Sword Emperor, this is not an empire.”
“so?”
“What I’m saying is that there is nothing good about turning a large country into an enemy.”
Kasir’s choice was to invoke the power of the country.
It was different from the other world.
On the Leiter Continent, Sword Emperor Delagardi was the duke of the most powerful empire.
He was a man who had almost no rivals, both in terms of his ability and power.
However, the power structure here is completely different.
In particular, China, to which Kassir himself belonged, was called G2 and was considered one of the world’s two major powers along with the United States.
The number of S-class awakened individuals, who were treated as weapons as powerful as nuclear weapons, was superior to that of any other country except the United States.
In comparison, Geomje seemed to be a person from South Joseon.
Although it had quite a useful national power, it was only a small country compared to China.
The number of S-class awakened people was 5, and even including the Sword Emperor, there were 6.
Although it was not a small number, it was nothing compared to China, where there were more than 10 S-class awakened people known to the outside world.
If you include the S-class awakened people hidden with you and Linshu, the number increases even more.
‘Great country?’
Sihyeon asked a question to herself.
First of all, it was a good flow.
The fact that he was citing something other than his own power was evidence that he was being pushed back psychologically.
But it’s a big country.
What kind of country is this?
In that case, the nationality of the myeongu technician was not known until the end.
But this time I felt like I knew.
When an opponent mentions a large country, it is obviously their intention to put pressure on them in some way by revealing the country’s name.
“You’re making threats that don’t work.”
Sihyeon looked like she didn’t care at all.
“It is not an unreasonable threat. You know very well what happens to a small country that touches a large country.”
“I don’t care about that.”
As Sihyeon ignored him and took a step closer, Kasir’s voice came out more urgently.
“You will regret it, Geomje. China’s power is greater than you can imagine. It is not something like South Korea can handle.”
“Hoo, was it from China?”
“That’s right. No matter how strong you are, would you be able to take on a great power on your own? You are a heavy burden in the face of China’s power. Moreover, China also has that High Reiss.”
In a hurry, Kasir even sold the name of Lin Xue, whom he had always disliked.
In this situation, he was more fortunate than anyone else to be on the same side.
High-rise?
Sihyeon searched for memories.
It was the identity of the woman wearing a cat mask who saved her when she was almost killed by a cotton ball technician.
He was also the person whom Poahim warned to never reveal his true identity.
Sihyeon asked as if to confirm.
“The silent archmage?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm.”
Sihyeon paused for a moment.
Then he pretended to think.
I couldn’t just keep going strong.
If we didn’t want to end things, we had to compromise at some point.
And I felt that now was the right time, as the other party was bringing up China and Hi-Ris.
From now on, you won’t feel strange if you pretend to think about it, mix things up, then back away and compromise.
but.
Suddenly, Sihyeon’s eyes stared at the corpses of the Black Tiger guild members who had died horribly.
Although they were not members of the same guild, they were colleagues who had experienced the ups and downs together in several raids.
Although I had cruelty activated, I naturally felt sad.
No matter how precious the lives of the remaining people were, it was painful and difficult to let go of a murderer who had killed his colleagues so horribly.
But if not, is there another way?
Being weak makes people miserable like this.
But you have to be cool-headed.
It is the behavior of a foolish person to commit a reckless act without having the power to repay a grudge.
That was an act of throwing one’s life away.
The important thing is to live.
Repaying one’s grudge is also possible only if one is alive.
Sihyeon coolly ventilated his mind and calmly organized his thoughts.
“So what? Are you telling me to just let you guys go?”
“That would be a wise choice.”
“You murdered my comrades horribly. Do you think you can just let me go?”
Sihyeon said so because it was strange to suddenly take such a hard stance.
“Are you really colleagues? Then why didn’t you come forward from the beginning? I think you two are the only colleagues you have.”
Kassir said, pointing to Eunhye and Minjun.

Those words were sharp and stinging.
Kassir suddenly invaded, and as I was in a hurry to think of a way to respond, I had neither the time nor the strength to stop the slaughter.
Still, it was a serious fact that not even a single person could be saved.
If we had thought of a response a little sooner, one person might have been saved.
But that’s all in the past.
Spilled water cannot be restored.
Sihyeon coolly recalled once again.
What matters now is the lives of the remaining people.
“Is that all you have to say?”
‘Hmm.’
When Sihyeon’s icy expression did not waver in the slightest, Kasir groaned inwardly as if he was in pain.
It wasn’t a good position to get out.
The gate is now closed.
To open the gate, you had to catch the boss, and Sihyeon was standing there.
Even if you pass by Si-hyeon and enter the boss room to catch the boss, if Si-hyeon decides to block the entrance to the boss room in the meantime, it would be difficult to break through.
It’s not anyone else, it’s Geomje.
In the end, Kasir decided to leave capturing the boss and escaping as a last resort.
“ha….”
Kasir sighed and continued.
“Sword Emperor, no matter how strong you are, can you fight me while completely protecting those two people? I hope you make a wise decision.”
Kasir now began to point out the two people behind the vision.
Try to pick out anything that could be a weak spot for your opponent.
And finally, this time it seemed to work.
“hmm.”
Kasir noticed that Sihyeon’s expression was slightly but definitely distorted.
Kasir was delighted at the thought that he had finally succeeded in touching his real weak spot.
But of course it was Sihyeon’s performance.
‘You know how to help me.’
While I was thinking about how to withdraw without making it awkward, Kassir made a threat, mentioning Eunhye and Minjun.
Clearly, the statement itself was correct.
It was obvious that no matter how strong a person was, it would be very difficult to fight while completely protecting someone else.
So it was a very good excuse to step down.
“Is there any reason to clash with each other and risk losing money? I think we can make a better choice if we resolve it verbally.”
When the vision seemed to waver, Kasir added.
I thought it was absurd that he would say something like that after killing so many innocent people.
But now was not the time to get angry about that.
“You are a vile person.”
“It’s not mean, it’s just to wisely avoid unnecessary bloodshed.”
“Hmph, okay. Go. But I will never forget this.”
Sihyeon sheathed Acurelust and crossed her arms.
“That’s a wise choice.”
Kasir laughed.
Then he started running towards the boss room.
“As a token of my gratitude for making a wise choice, I will take care of the boss. Go out in peace.”
As soon as the entrance to the boss room opened, Kasir quickly rushed to where the ant queen was.
Then, he swung Death Scythe and ripped off the ant queen’s head in one go.
◈ ◈ ◈
“It’s open.”
Toya pointed to the entrance and narrowed his eyes.
William also discovered it at about the same time.
“I need to go in.”
William, who had been sitting, raised his huge body.
“Uncle, be careful.”
Toya said.
He said this because he knew very well that even if he went in with him, even though his combat skills were not that great, he would only be a burden.
“Yes, don’t worry. Iria, the giver, is always protecting you.”
William grinned, pulled out his great sword, and jumped into the gate with all his might.
◈ ◈ ◈
Kasir tried to support Bayan, who was in disarray after being hit by Sihyeon.
It wasn’t a bad idea, but he had to consider himself lucky that he didn’t lose his life after getting on Geomje’s nerves.
Sihyeon still didn’t seem to show any signs of using his hands.
He has his arms crossed with his weapon holstered.
I was deliberately not talking to Eunhye and Minjun.
It was out of concern that something disadvantageous might be exposed during a conversation in this situation.
Eunhye and Minjun also looked very shocked by what had just happened, but they seemed to be holding back what they wanted to say until Sihyeon spoke first.
‘This is ridiculous. ‘I can’t believe the Geomje pops up from a small country like South Korea.’
As the tension of the moment of tense confrontation eased, Kasir had this thought.
It was a country that was unable to even make a proper statement in front of its neighbors, China, Japan, and Russia.
In such a country, the Sword Emperor, one of the most powerful among the S-classes, appeared.
It was clear that if the great powers, who were eagerly looking for the Sword Emperor, found out about this, they would make a huge offer to somehow get him out.
If appeasement is possible, China would be better.
If Kim was holding a grudge, it was better to be on the same side.
I was honestly anxious if it fell to another powerful country.
‘Now that I think about it, I guess I have a very complicated and delicate relationship with Lin Xue… .’
The relationship between the silent archmage Hyris and the sword emperor Delagardi was very famous on the continent.
The two were originally lovers, but Delagardi fell in love with another woman and dumped Hiris.
She was also a woman of low status, incomparable to Hiris.
It was even said that Hiris was so shocked by what happened that his hair turned white and he even shed bloody tears.
In any case, that was the decision that the Geomje made to hasten his command.
If she had married Hyris, no matter how emperor he was, he wouldn’t have been able to touch him.
Not only was it a marriage between two of the four great dukes of the empire, but it was also because those two were transcendent strongmen, ranked among the top ten on the continent.
In the end, Hyris ignores the death of his former lover.
I was really curious about what would happen if those two people met again here.
“I hope it won’t be like this next time I see you.”
Kasir said, looking at the vision.
There was no answer.
It was what I expected.
It was when Kasir was about to head out of the gate, supporting Bayan.
I felt something heavy jumping towards me with a thud.
“Hey, human butcher! Are you there?”
thud.
The large man landed with a strong foot on the ground.
It was William.
He was holding a greatsword as tall as a man with both hands.
“There you are. I finally got you, you bastard.”
William said, looking at Kasir.
I felt it in my body.
There was tremendous hostility.
Although it was due to the effect of the smiling priest’s prestige that aroused hostility among the believers of the Iria Church, William thought it was God’s guidance.
“you?”
Kassir narrowed his eyes.
There were not many men who used a large sword the size of a man as a weapon.
Maybe it was a man he had heard of.
“Me? My name is William, the ‘Fourth Sword of Iria’.”
William answered, looking sadly at the corpses strewn everywhere.
He immediately glared at Kasir with an angry expression, as if his anger was rising.
“I’m here to kill you, you bastard.”
