As the soldiers guarding the envoy clashed with the rebels and a battle broke out, the envoys were busy running away.
It was quite comical to see so many people panicking because there was no proper way out.
“Everyone, get out of the way! What are you doing if you don’t get out of the way?”
“Protect me! Don’t let them come near me!”
In the midst of the commotion, the eyes of the reigning king looking at the traitors were calm.
As if this kind of thing wasn’t even the slightest bit entertaining.
“I thought you would come today to cause trouble.”
On days when the palace is open to the public, like the Sky Festival, it is easy to be exposed to danger in many ways.
He who seeks to destroy the heavens that protect paradise would not miss a day like this.
That’s why they had made full preparations in case Seo Kang-rim would attack.
“All troops, deal with the traitors!”
-Bam!
As soon as the King finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers poured out from the inner building, and archers appeared on top of the building.
A large number of arrows were aimed at the rebels.
The moment the reigning king gave a signal by snapping his fingers, the bowstring was pulled back.
-Wedge!
In an instant, countless arrows flew towards the rebels.
Now that the skies had been taken away, they had no way to fight back.
But the arrow bounced off the air before it could even reach its target.
[The ability ‘Invisible Shield’ is activated!]
[The ability ‘Frost Flame’ is activated!]
-Tang, that’s right!
A transparent shield and ice barrier formed, deflecting all the arrows.
The archers prepared a second arrow, not caring that their attack had been neutralized.
But what they didn’t know was that there was a sniper hiding inside who was better than them.
Yoon Bom’s eyes shone like arrows.
[The ability ‘Gunslinger’ is activated!]
-Ta-aang!
Dozens of guns seemed to be summoned into the sky and began shooting at the archers.
They fell screaming before they could even be surprised by the sudden sniping.
The moment Yun Bom’s gun, hidden among the guards, aimed at the King.
-Quazik!
As the King swung his sword, the flying bullets were turned to dust.
It was before the attack even reached them.
He raised his sword and glared at where Yun Bom was.
“Was there a traitor among the guards? That crime must be paid for with one’s life.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards Yun Bom.
The speed was almost like the speed of sound.
The moment the King was about to cut Yunbom in half, something like a sharp wind hit him.
-Kaga River!
“Are you the king of dirt and bugs… … !”
What appeared before his eyes was a man with black hair.
Although his face was different from the one drawn on the wanted poster, it was clear at a glance that he was the king of dirt and bugs.
Eyes that burn brightly, without fear.
The king did not like the look in her eyes.
Seo Kang-rim blocked the sword swing of the King of Gunrim and immediately counterattacked.
-Kang, ka-kang, kan!
Every time the two clashed their swords, it felt like lightning was exploding.
The swords flying endlessly through the air, aiming for each other’s throats, were literally at the speed of sound.
At first glance, it seemed like an equal fight, but Seo Kang-rim could tell.
The fact that he was inferior.
“I heard a lot of rumors about him so I was curious about what kind of person he was, but he’s even worse than I thought.”
The voice of the reigning king was simply calm.
He was facing Seo Kang-rim’s fierce attacks with one hand, without even using his other arm.
It almost seemed like an evaluation attitude.
-Kagan!
Seo Kang-rim, who had been taking the brunt of the King’s attacks, was gradually being pushed back.
It was only a brief battle, but the difference in skill between us and our opponents was evident.
Before I knew it, I was avoiding or letting go of attacks rather than taking them on, looking for an opening.
But it was like an iron wall to the reigning king.
“Not only you, but the people you brought with you are also insignificant.”
When the king looked down, he saw that a battle was in full swing there.
A group of thieves led by Jang Tae-heon, and many corpses summoned by Seo Kang-rim through ‘corpse summoning’.
That alone was a considerable force, but the soldiers were more numerous and their skills were also considerable.
Also, there were those among the royal family and nobles who took part in the battle, not just the soldiers.
The second prince also took up arms and entered the battlefield. Although he was not a reigning king, he was quite skilled.
While he was fighting Jang Tae-heon one-on-one, the First Prince glared at the rebels and shouted.

“The lowly ones are showing off their tricks. It’s no use!”
[The ability ‘Noble Bloodline’ is activated!]
[Select a designated target and increase the abilities of royalty and nobility by 100%!]
As the First Prince’s power was activated, the soldiers could feel strength flowing into their bodies.
I didn’t think we would lose in terms of numbers or ability.
At that time, they were intoxicated with excitement and were driving the enemy forward.
Someone came rushing in like a whirlwind with a sword.
-Kaga River!
The person who rushes into the battlefield and makes flowers of blood bloom is a woman who was in the darkest spot.
She was the princess of the Soso Kingdom.
As the princess of the Sosoguk began to cut down the soldiers, a commotion arose among the envoys.
“What, what?! Why in the Soso Kingdom… …!”
“Oh, the princess of the small kingdom has rebelled!”
Every time she swung her sword, her tree-colored hair fluttered in the wind.
Two eyes holding the fresh green that shines through between them.
It was Shin Soo-ah, the princess of the small kingdom.
When Shin Soo-ah found out that she had been possessed by the princess of the Soseo Kingdom.
Seo Kang-rim suggested that instead of joining him, they build up their own forces there.
The Soso Kingdom is a country comprised of weak, heterogeneous races.
The number of Awakened was so small that they had no power to defend themselves even if the demons invaded the country.
It was a painful situation just to have to deal with the devil, but Paradise demanded too much tribute, so it was a double whammy.
In the midst of her suffering, the princess of a ruined country stepped forward with a sword.
She went to the most difficult lands, defeated demons, and protected the people.
A miracle in despair.
If the people of Paradise Kingdom believed in Seo Gangrim, the people of Soso Kingdom followed Shin Su-ah.
[‘Shin Soo-ah’ has gained sufficient recognition, and is in the process of being deified.]
[The new name ‘Green Tears That Cut Through Despair’ is given!]
[The ability ‘Protector’s Shadow’ is activated!]
As Shin Soo Ah slammed a sword into the ground, it quickly began to spread its branches.
Before we knew it, a huge tree had grown in the middle of the palace.
As the tree finished growing, the rebels could feel an unknown energy seeping into them.
[The effect of the ability ‘Protector’s Shadow’ changes depending on the level of the weapon used!]
[The ability ‘Protector’s Shadow’ has been activated!]
[Increases the abilities and recovery speed of allies within the designated area by 200%!]
As the royal army grew stronger, the rebels’ capabilities also increased.
There is no reason to be pushed back now.
She shouted and gave orders to her soldiers.
“Assist the King of Earth and Bugs! Today is the day paradise falls!”
“Yes, princess!”
The reinforcements were moving in unison according to the orders of the princess of the ruined country.
At that time, even the princes were confused by the sudden reinforcements.
I heard a voice whispering softly next to me.
“Didn’t I tell you? I don’t know if it would be possible to request the princess of the Soseo Kingdom as a concubine.”
-Kaga River!
As soon as Dokgo Jun finished speaking, he swung his sword at the princes.
They glared at Dokgo Jun with eyes filled with bewilderment and betrayal.
“Ma, youngest, how could you… …!”
“Did you betray me in order to take the next throne?”
“Hmm, it’s similar, isn’t it? By the way, hyungs… … .”
Dokgo Jun smiled brightly, but only a murderous madness was visible in his eyes.
“It’s a lot stronger than I thought. It’ll be fun.”
As soon as he finished speaking, tentacles shot out from all directions and attacked the princes.
Meanwhile, Dokgo Jun was swinging his sword like a madman and driving the princes away.
The princes cried out in bewilderment.
“Why aren’t reinforcements coming? They must have figured out the situation outside… …!”
As they said, the soldiers who had been waiting outside also confirmed the unusual situation and were rushing to the palace.
But there was another person blocking the entrance.
It was none other than the Black Gate’s lord, Lee Hyeon.
“That guy Seo Kang-rim, he’s giving me annoying tasks.”
He was also possessed as one of the heads of a noble family, and had already received instructions from Seo Kang-rim.
His job is to not let anyone in.
Every time Lee Hyeon’s black clothes fluttered, the ground would split open and the screams of soldiers could be heard.
“… … You are truly worthy of being called a king, the king of dirt and bugs. Starting from the princess of the small kingdom, you have even won over the third prince.”
As fierce battles raged below and outside, Seo Kang-rim and Gunrim Wang also fought with their swords without rest.
Yet there was no fear on the king’s face.
There is only a little bit of interest.
“But the fun ends here.”
A strange light appeared in his eyes, and a voice filled with magical power filled the air.
When the King of Gungrim swung his sword with magical power, Seo Kangrim was unable to overcome the force and was pushed back.
He immediately tried to activate his ability, but the King’s roar came out before he could.
“It is the king’s command, all kneel and bow your heads!”
[The ability ‘Suppression Order’ is activated!]
-Koosh!
In an instant, silence fell upon the palace.
All the people who had been fighting fiercely just a moment ago stopped moving.
Both the enemy and the friendly forces were frozen in place.
Before they knew it, they were kneeling and bowing their heads before the reigning king.
“Oh, why is my body… … !”
The rebels looked visibly embarrassed.
My body was shaking, and I tried to stand up, but my body wouldn’t listen to me.
═══════════════
[Ability] Suppression Order
[Rank] Shinsampum (God’s Three Grades)
[Description] The ability to enforce compulsory orders on targets of lower rank and class than oneself. This ability is doubled in the sanctuary.
═══════════════
The most superior being here was the reigning king, himself.
There would be no one who could disobey the orders of the King of the Empire.
The third prince, Dokgo Jun, and the princess of a fallen nation, Shin Soo Ah, were also kneeling.
Also Seo Kang-rim.
“King of dirt and bugs. Do you think it was your own will that allowed you to infiltrate this palace?”
The King looked down at Seo Kang-rim as if he were looking at an insignificant insect.
Seo Kang-rim, who had been cornering the King just a moment ago, was now bowing his head like everyone else.
He was barely holding himself up with the sword stuck in one side, but his whole body was seen shaking.
“You’ve always been elusive. It wasn’t easy to track you down, so I induced you to reveal yourself.”
“… … .”
“The Sky Festival is a day when outsiders can easily invade and incite people. I have relaxed the security a little bit so that you can enter here.”
The reigning king smiled quietly, revealing his teeth.
“That is, you played on my hands.”
