All Power Wizard Episode 223
I had a dream.
The red-eyed man wearing a robe was looking down at me again.
His touch was warm and cozy.
I feel like I am comforted just by staying still.
This warmth resembles the touch of a distant mother that I can no longer remember.
I felt his touch… … .
“Get this hand away.”
I refused for the first time.
When I twisted his wrist, he felt pain.
My heart broke, but I continued to twist my wrist.
Then, the man took off the hem of the robe he was wearing.
He bent his neck grotesquely and stuck out his tongue very long.
“how did you know?”
♦ * ♦
“It’s a face I seem to remember.”
Tavern, late spring breeze.
King Yeom looked as if he was looking right into me.
Yes, I remembered.
A demon who eats lies and deception from birth.
The demon god who pretended to be something precious to me and casually stroked my head.
“What is the Demon God’s Tower?”
“The only way to reach Him.”
“If I decline the invitation.”
“This land will have to face a greater test.”
“… … what do you mean?”
“It’s been one year. The day when the hot summer passes and a new fall begins. “The answer to the question you just asked will come naturally.”
The Flame King seemed to have achieved all of his goals for visiting Ardel.
He poured out all the remaining alcohol and
He got up from his seat and looked at me blankly and said.
“I’m curious too. “Why is it you and not me that he favors?”
That was the end of those words.
King Yeom walked briskly, opened the tavern door, and suddenly disappeared like smoke.
“… … Should I chase you?”
“It’s no use. “Because it’s already gone.”
Magic water like a long-distance movement spell
Poom was not used.
He opened the ‘door’ and disappeared.
A door similar to the portal I used to summon the ogres of Sky Mountain.
“Demon God’s Tower, these are all words that are difficult to understand.”
“They say the next attack will be in a year. Is this information trustworthy? “Could it be a ploy to catch us off guard?”
It didn’t seem like I was lying, but I was reticent.
Because even I couldn’t be sure which one was correct.
What is important here is not the period of one year.
One thing is clear.
“You have to be prepared. “We must pretend that we have not heard anything about the one-year period, and create a solid ‘allied force’ that can fight even tomorrow.”
Whether it’s a month or a year.
No, it’s about creating an army that can fight starting tomorrow.
In order to do that, everything must be renewed
I had to prepare.
The first button was sewn by the emperor.
“Lord Tower. A request has been received from the emperor of the empire to attend the meeting as soon as possible. “The purpose of the meeting is to defend against this Maetel attack.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
A cold wind blows.
Now, winter was approaching.
♦ ♦ ♦
“Not in any other area! Maetel, called the blacksmith of the continent, has collapsed. Even if Leverdyne had collapsed, the damage would not have been this great. Maetel’s craftsmen will be able to restore Lever Dyne within half a year. But who will bring Maetel back?”
“So? Who doesn’t know that? “We are trying to find solutions for the future, not blaming others.”
“If the Reinak Empire is the hegemony of the continent, then you should have taken responsibility for it! Why didn’t you send reinforcements?
“Because!”
“They disbanded the 100,000 army and then, what? Now what? Why didn’t you help me? This is it! It’s a fart! What about you? What did you do at Eisenhour right next to Maetel! “Did you just miss your finger?”
“what? you? Look at the manner of speaking on the subject of a mere archduke! “I’m the king’s representative, you bastard!”
“deputy? iced coffee. Not the king, but the king’s representative? Why was the great King of the Snow Country so busy sending an agent in such a dangerous situation? uh? “Has he gone to build a snowman?”
“what?”
“Stop it! “What kind of behavior is this, taking precious people under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor?”
It’s a mess.
Very, shit.
Iron Manor Maetel was chosen by the 13th Legion’s defeated remnants as the first raid area.

Whatever the reason for their attack on Maetel, the effect was truly amazing.
Because there was no manpower to replace Maetel’s famous craftsmen, people were busy pointing fingers at each other.
“You must know that even while we are fighting among ourselves, the demon army is closing in on us!”
“you’re right! “We need to stop blaming others and find a solution.”
“Okay.”
Preparedness plan.
In order to overcome this difficult situation and come up with the solution everyone wants, everyone gathered here must do their part.
I had to put down the hilt of my sword.
Not insisting only on their own interests.
Union starts from there.
Unless this happens, any other conversation is unnecessary.
but.
The emperor, who was supposed to beautifully coordinate this chaotic, separate choir, sat at the head of the table and listened quietly without saying a word with an expressionless face.
“anyway! Eisenhour’s position is firm. 10,000 troops? This is absolutely impossible in a short period of time. “Please be a little more careful in the Empire and Paltheon, which have relatively large populations.”
“How can you care more than this? “Didn’t you hear the tower owner saying that this invasion by demons might not be the last?”
“I heard. But what if something is impossible? The entire population of Snow Country is less than 100,000. How do we create an army of 10,000 here?”
“Vigilantes, students, volunteer soldiers, forced conscription. etc! If you are someone who can hold a spear and a sword, you should use whatever methods you can! “If you’re not careful, the entire continent could fall into the hands of demons. Are you going to continue to insist on only your own interests?”
“anyway! It’s not possible! Absolutely impossible! Please reduce it to 5,000!”
“haha… … . “It feels like I’m talking to a wall.”
“If you look at the records of the first human-demon war, there is a saying that sometimes humans are more scary than demons… … . “That makes perfect sense.”
There is no coordination at all.
It just continues to emit a jarring, dissonant sound.
Meanwhile, the Holy Principality of Frelia also showed a weak attitude.
In the war started by the last emperor, the attitude of openly trying to show shame by saying that he had killed the ‘holy knights’ who were the most powerful weapons to deal with the demons was clearly visible.
Take all the money as it is paid.
In this way, they are trying to bring the negotiation table to their advantage and minimize the burden on their country.
It’s time to forget the past and make resolutions for the future.
Still buried in the past.
Rather, he starts showing off his guts.
“We can never back down. So, if you really want our help, please take a look at the situation.”
At that time, the emperor, who had kept his mouth shut throughout the meeting, opened his mouth.
“It seems like you can’t figure out who is helping whom.”
“Have you said everything you wanted to say?”
He looked quite uncomfortable.
I was looking at people.
Why?
Why does that small man have an energy comparable to that of an 8-star knight?
“Even though they said they would provide the most money, the most troops, the most food, and inexhaustible supplies… … . Until the end, I was just thinking about how to eat one more spoonful. “The bowl might break tomorrow.”
Everyone is thinking the same thing.
Ominous.
The emperor, a fire that seems to shatter the board
Good luck.
And this ominous feeling was exactly right.
“Negotiations have collapsed. “Eisenhower, the Snow Country, and the Holy Principality of Frelia are excluded from the allied forces.”
“Eh, yes?”
“Now, just a moment!”
“I have no intention of listening to your excuses. Radian Kingdom, East Forest, even… … . “This is a condition that Ardel, which has a total population of only about 70,000, accepted.”
The emperor was firm.
I will tear up the cards that do not obey and open the next hand.
Rather than focusing on persuasion, he said he would focus on creating a stronger allied force.
“So, now get out of this conference room.”
The emperor did not change.
He didn’t get discouraged, and he still had the same aggressive tendencies as before.
However, what can I say.
I would say it has a relatively mild taste.
“Let’s go back to our country, hug each other and pray that we can live one more day.”
“Well, that…” … Well, take some time to think about it… …
“I’ll give you 10 seconds.”
“yes? Well, that’s too short… …
“one two… …
10 seconds.
Enough time to turn the atmosphere of the conference room upside down in an instant.
Instead of appeasing a disobedient pig,
A strong will to cut off one’s head.
“three… … “It’s annoying, ten.”
“Ha, I will! I’ll do it! 10,000. “I will make it anyway!”
“… … Then let’s move on.”
He makes concessions that he would never have allowed in the past.
Giving him 3 seconds instead of 10 seconds to think is a huge improvement for him.
He was the owner of this conference hall.
“The demons’ movements are all carried out with thorough planning. Take Maetel
The main force of the demon race, which was fierce, is moving straight to the east without engaging in pointless battles. It’s obvious where you’re aiming. “It is Paltheon’s granary.”
“Ugh”
“If the Great Granary is breached, the next destination will be the Prieta agricultural area. They must be thinking of cutting off all of our food chains. Our goal is to block the demon army at the first resistance line. To this end, we will set up a common base camp for the Allied Forces.”
Once the primary problem of forming an allied force was resolved, the emperor conducted the next meeting without hesitation.
Only now does the creaking sound stop and a plausible harmony begins to form.
The emperor is a capable conductor.
I am the hidden card of this choir.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“••••••little.”
13th Corps.
Tower of Demon God.
And, the demon god.
There’s something that’s choking us just thinking about it, but it’s not like that.
You can’t just sit there and think about it.
“1 year. “If what that unpleasant half-human, half-demon guy says is right, you must exceed 40,000 in strength and acquire divine power within one year.”
As Strang said, I will have to keep sweating.
To gain the power, divine power, to rival God.
“We need to complete the transcendent level quest as quickly as possible.”
“… … Super level quest? what is that?”
After hero level and mythical level, is it now transcendent level…? … .
Where on earth will the quest end?
No, there is an end’?
“Besides the Skymountain ogres, you must find others who can help you.”
” who?”
“dragon.”
“… … “Was that really alive?”
It is known that Draka destroyed the entire world of dragons.
A while back, Strang had vaguely said that there were a few dragons still alive.
I never thought that would be true.
“You have the wisdom of an ancient dragon, so the dragons will help you as much as possible.”
“It’s going to be a crazy year.”
“I guess so. “Should I run even harder than I am now?”
“Ah, it’s winter so I won’t sweat much.”
But what can you do?
I have to do it.
I will run forward.
In the cold winter, you want your soles to sweat properly.
* * *
The northern tip of the Reinak Empire, the Maeta Mountains badlands.
“ah! a little! Come! hurry!”
“… … Ha, but! “The words of our ancestors: never go down the mountain range!”
“What kind of old fashioned stuff are you talking about? I have to go see my in-laws! “Can’t you come quickly?”
The Prius family went on a long-awaited family outing.
The head of the family, Akan Prius, tried to hold out until the end, shouting, “The world is scary!” … .
“… … Go, go. “You can just go.”
“It would be better if we did that sooner.”
I gave up only after being hit on the back by my lovely 8-star fighter wife.
Okay, let’s go.
To the secular world.
They began to carefully descend the mountain range.
It may not be a big deal to some, but for the men of the Prius family, it is a first-time experience in their lives.
They took a cautious step with uneasy steps.
But, then.
” hmm?”
A red pillar piercing through the black clouds came into the sight of Akan Prius.
It’s a strange sight I’ve never seen in my life.
This was the same for his wife, Seida Prius, who lived in a village at the bottom of the mountain.
“… … “What is that?”
“Hmm, I guess I should go back home… …
“Don’t think about using that as an excuse to go up again.”
But she didn’t give up.
In the process of advancing into the secular world, any adversity or hardship stands in your way.
Ah… … .
I promised myself that I would definitely arrive at Ardel.
In that adversity and suffering… … ‘Demons’ were no exception.
“huh? “This is a monster I’ve never seen before.”
“You have horns on your head? “Is it okay to eat it?”
“Your skin is purple, Mom.”
“Why does he have wings on his back?”
“… … “It’s a chicken leg.”
‘Mom’ doesn’t know the danger of demons.
The attack order was given without spit.
“No matter what, let’s hit it first and then think about it.”
“is it… …
“ruler! attack!”
“Oh, gonggyeoeook…” … !”
A platoon of demons were not even able to exercise after eating for this family.
“What, it’s nothing special.”
“Ugh, it doesn’t taste like chicken legs.”
“Look. They say there is nothing special about the secular world. Let’s go now. our lovely
“To meet my son-in-law.”
“••••••Son, son-in-law!”
At the word ‘son-in-law’, the Akan Prius changed its expression and began to walk ahead.
“honey. “Do you know the way?”
“If you go down south, you’ll find everything. Now, let’s go! “To meet my son-in-law.”
“Then, let’s go!”
“Chulbaaaal!”
The Prius family’s journey to Ardel has begun.
