Episode 228
Almost as soon as the emperor moved, arrows rained down.
It wasn’t one direction.
It was coming at us from all directions to the point where we couldn’t avoid it.
Moreover, it was a powerful arrow loaded with energy.
It was an attack that could instantly reduce even the most powerful S-class fighters to pieces of rags.
It was a group attack by hunters who received the great sage’s abilities and rose to S-class power, so it was natural.
But of course, the emperor was a being far beyond the category of an ordinary S-class strongman.
He unfolded his black sword without even blinking in the face of such violent attacks.
Even at a glance, it was an extremely thick film.
bang! Quang! bang! bang!
A breathtaking rain of arrows struck the Emperor’s tent.
A loud noise like a bomb exploding rang out one after another.
“Cheet.”
John frowned.
Even though he had fought a war with the emperor in his previous life, it was his first time seeing the emperor’s lecture hall.
Gangmak is a defensive technique.
Therefore, the emperor of an empire that had the upper hand in almost all wars would have virtually never had to use a river curtain.
I saw it here.
It was a much larger and thicker film than expected.
To the point where I’m a little dizzy.
but.
In the first place, I didn’t think it would be easy to finish.
Anyway, the attack was only just beginning.
“continue!”
John shouted loudly.
I didn’t even have to give myself a chance to catch my breath.
One after another, magical attacks of all kinds, such as fire, ice, and wind, rained down on the emperor.
It was an attack that had already been prepared even before John gave instructions.
They also knew the emperor’s notoriety, and even witnessed the enormous size and thickness of the river curtain.
Of course, I had no choice but to focus all my attention on dealing with it.
Quang! Quang! bang!
The sound of wildly fired magic hitting the river curtain was heard.
Due to the various attack magics that were splendidly exploding, the air was so hazy that it was difficult to see the emperor.
Did it work?
American hunters watched where the emperor was with anticipation.
Soon the hazy atmosphere subsided and the emperor’s appearance began to appear.
“Tsk.”
“f*cking monster.”
The American hunters frowned and muttered.
Even after receiving such tremendous attacks one after another, the emperor survived.
I couldn’t help but be appalled.
“No, the effect is definitely there! Look at the river curtain clearly!”
At that time, John shouted as if to boost morale.
The eyes of American hunters turned to the river curtain again.
“River curtain?”
“Huh? How big is it?”
It was seen that the outer edge of the river curtain had been chipped away.
It’s not an illusion.
It was clearly visible to everyone.
It wasn’t that it wasn’t effective.
It was clearly taking a toll.
“That’s right. Even that monster bastard is human after all!”
“Let’s keep screwing until we break down!”
“You can do it! You can do it!”
The morale of American hunters rose again.
“joy.”
The emperor sneered.
He admitted honestly.
That it was not their illusion.
There was definitely a blow to the river curtain.
It was even his first time being attacked by such a number of S-class strongmen.
It was definitely not a level of attack that could be sustained.
Yes, if you hold on.
However, the emperor’s purpose was not to struggle alone with these numerous enemies.
There is only one goal.
The great sage of both eyes.
It was to kill him.

To do that, I had to move forward.
Over and over again.
The emperor’s feet stepped strongly on the ground.
His new model jumped into the very center of the American first line.
“You’re crazy.”
John, who was watching, said.
It rushed neither to the left nor to the right of the rung, but to the center, where it was thickest and densest.
That barrier that seemed impossible to break through.
The stopping power there was like an iron wall.
And the moment your foot is blocked, you will be surrounded and attacked from all sides.
No matter how emperor he is, if that happens, it will be the end.
A faint smile appeared on John’s lips.
he shouted in a cheerful voice.
“Kill the emperor!”
◈ ◈ ◈
American hunters moved in order.
This is because a lot of preparations had already been made.
Tankers raised their shields high in front, and dealers holding spears and swords aimed to make a stifling attack between them.
It was a large formation that seemed to have no gaps.
The distance between the emperor and them began to narrow rapidly.
and.
“come!”
The emperor jumped into the formation without slowing down.
The river curtain had not yet been loosened.
“cheeky!”
One of the tankers shouted.
Gangmak was a technique for defense.
In order to attack, it was necessary to release the river curtain and switch to another technique.
But it just rushes forward.
Well, good.
If so, this was what we hoped for as well.
The river curtain poses no threat.
However, the consumption of magical power is enormous.
In the end, it was the emperor who suffered the loss.
That was when Tanker had that thought.
Finally, the emperor’s river curtain and the tanks collided.
And that crash.
It led to unexpected results.
“What?!”
“Aaaah!”
The hands of the tankers holding their shields were cut off.
As if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
It wasn’t just the hand.
The bodies of the tankers, who were groaning in pain with shocked eyes, were cut to pieces the moment they touched the emperor’s tent.
Blood splattered out miserably, staining all directions with fresh blood.
“W-what?!”
“River… Gangmak?!”
The tanks were so surprised by the unexpected situation that the river curtain became a murder weapon that they flinched and were pushed back.
Meanwhile, the emperor broke through the wall of tanks without hesitation.
“Everyone, come to your senses and build a wall!”
“Quickly attack!”
However, they were also experienced hunters who had fought enough battles to the point of getting tired of it.
I belatedly regained my composure and readjusted my posture.
Quang!
bang!
“It’s worth stopping!”
“Everyone use your defense skills with all your might!”
Kangmak’s blade was finally blocked.
As the tanks used their defensive skills with all their might, they stopped as if they were blocked by an impenetrable wall.
“after.”
However, the emperor looked at them with a cold smile without the slightest embarrassment.
Gangmak is clearly a technique for defense.
No matter how much attack power was given, the attack power itself was bound to drop.
Of course I thought it would get blocked anyway.
And now was the time to turn to full-scale attack.
In an instant, the river film disappeared as if evaporating.
At the same time, the emperor’s sword, Leiter, burned to a deep earthy color.
The black, earthy color that seemed to absorb everything gave off a more destructive energy than anything else.
The American hunters who watched it momentarily flinched in instinctive fear.
The appearance of the army was so bizarre that it could not be considered an army whose morale was high.
The emperor’s attack, which created the appearance, was first manifested.
Awesome!
Raider, imbued with a huge black energy, cut the dozens of tanks blocking his path in half with their armor intact.
The defense skills that raised my strength to the level I had when I was still breastfeeding were meaningless.
The attack was not something that could be prevented at that level.
Faster than anything, stronger than anything else, it can break everything in the world.
That was the martial arts pursued by the emperor.
And it reproduces it perfectly in reality.
That was the person called the Emperor, who was said to be the strongest on the continent.
“…Huh?! Huh, huh!”
“What, what is this?!”
Just one blow.
With that one attack, the morale of the American hunters was broken and their bodies became weak.
It was such an overwhelming attack.
And of course the emperor did not stop.
Every time the devastating black-colored Leiter swung, the American hunters cut down at random.
A thick blood fog soaked the air and the ground red.
The American battle line was already in disarray.
Few people could remain sane in this bloody mayhem.
Most of the attacks on the emperor were not coordinated attacks but were reckless attacks out of fear.
“this person…!”
The face of Yohan, the commander of the first line, was also confused.
I shouted loudly to try to somehow sort out the disorganized unit, but no one listened.
Meanwhile, the emperor broke through halfway through the first line and reached John, who was commanding in the center.
Ugh… “You damn bastard!”
John roared and struck with all his might.
Even among sword masters, his attacks, which were among the strongest, were clearly powerful.
but.
Pow!
It didn’t reach the emperor.
A head with wide-open eyes flew up into the air.
The Emperor, who carelessly grabbed the blood-soaked Leiter, continued on.
To the great sage.
◈ ◈ ◈
“I don’t think there are any other plans.”
Geomseong said.
“This is so unbecoming of an emperor.”
Ibrahim answered with a smile on his face.
Even though the first group suffered significant damage and was breached, they did not look shocked.
No, rather, he looked calm.
They knew that they could not stop the emperor with that level of power anyway.
“You mean you went in this deep without any plan?”
Gwonma continued speaking with his arms crossed.
“I guess I really underestimated this.”
“He is full of pride and arrogance in his own skills.”
Ibrahim smiled and opened his mouth again.
“Well, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter if there are other plans. Since you came in like that, let’s go finish it.”
Because the emperor was good at tactics, he carefully monitored the situation at first.
But it was different now.
The great sage was confident that he could definitely finish off the emperor at that point.
So it was a positive order.
If only the emperor was eliminated, this war would be over anyway.
“Hmph, I think I’ll be a bit excited today.”
Gwonma said, bending his wrist.
“I will risk everything to punish him.”
Geomsung closed his eyes deeply. She said as she floated.
“Of course I believe you. Let’s get justice by punishing the emperor.”
The Great Sage smiled.
◈ ◈ ◈
“…It’s coming.”
The emperor smiled a smile whose meaning was unknown.
At the same time, two new types blocked the emperor’s path.
It was a man with empty eyes and a thin, tall old man.
He was a swordsman and a horseman.
The emperor recognized them right away.
“It’s been a while.”
Gwonma raised his foot, tapped the ground, and opened his mouth.
“Right.”
“There is no time to waste. Let’s go right away.”
Geomseong said as he drew his sword.
The most important thing on the battlefield is not to let the opportunity arise.
It was we, not the emperor, who took the opportunity now.
So I couldn’t just let even a minute pass by.
Opportunities are something you have to seize when you get them.
“Come as you like.”
The emperor did not blink an eye even with the swordsman and swordsman in front of him.
“joy.”
The horse snorted and moved.
Finally, the most epic clash since the war began.
◈ ◈ ◈
“This isn’t human….”
Someone muttered.
And the majority of people watching their fight were thinking the same thing.
The sky rumbled and the earth split apart.
The surrounding area was devastated.
It was not a fight in which others could join in.
I was in a hurry to step back.
In the end, it was a fight between Lee and Il, and the rest were nothing more than scarecrows.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Ibrahim was still smiling leisurely.
What was important was that those two were holding the emperor perfectly.
And it was a situation that was perfectly immersed within the friendly forces’ formation.
Those two things were all that was needed.
Anyway, other enemies can be countered with sufficiently different S classes.
No, it can be overwhelming.
The problem was that the emperor was alone.
Now that the emperor had come to his own feet, there was nothing more to wish for.
‘and.
Ibrahim’s smile deepened.
Although he was not the owner of tremendous military power due to his profession as a great sage, his keen eye was top-notch.
At first it was an equal number, but it was clearly visible that the emperor was losing ground little by little.
Perhaps, if those two had just faced the emperor without receiving their abilities, they probably would have lost before they could have passed 200 seconds.
However, those special superhumans who were categorized as the top 10 continents had also received their abilities and had powered up to the fullest.
No matter how emperor he is, it would be difficult to get approval from such people.
Slowly it was becoming apparent.
Whoops!
The roar of the crash tore through the air.
The emperor blocked the thunderous power of a knight with his sword.
Wow!
At the same time, the Sword Saint’s sword cut through the emperor’s mithril armor and tore his shoulder.
blood.
Red blood splattered.
On the battlefield, this may not be a big deal.
However, it was different if it was the emperor’s blood.
For the first time since the war began, blood would splatter from the emperor’s body.
It meant that for the first time, a crack appeared in the suffocating and rigorous defense.
“You look exhausted.”
Gwonma’s expression was relaxed, as if he thought he had won the match.
“Hmph, you think Jim showed me all the moves.”
The emperor said, dripping with arsenic.
Gwonma laughed.
“Don’t be bluff. It’s just ugly for a man of your caliber to be bluff.”
“Let’s get this over with without any unnecessary talk.”
Geomseong said with a serious face.
When Gwonma nodded and was about to move again, the emperor’s mouth opened.
“Jim knew very well that you were here. But why did you come here alone?”
“Well, I guess I was confident I would win. You would think that way.”
Gwonma said it as if it was no big deal.
“Yes, I was confident of winning. So what should I do to win?”
The emperor spoke with a look in his eyes that left no one guessing his intentions.
“To win? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? You have to figure it out….”
“If it’s hard for you to understand, let me say this: Why did you guys come all the way here?”
“You keep talking nonsense. That’s to kill you….”
“for a moment.”
The expression of Geomseong, who was listening next to me, changed strangely.
It was because of some strange feeling that passed through my mind.
To kill?
There is no mistake in that statement.
He moved to kill the emperor.
So why did you think that way?
This is because the emperor penetrated deep into enemy territory.
To the depth… .
Otherwise, neither the horse nor himself would have moved.
It certainly is.
So why did the emperor act like this to get them to move?
no way?!
The Sword Saint’s head quickly turned back.
◈ ◈ ◈
The incident occurred without warning.
“What are we talking about?”
Ibrahim frowned slightly.
He hated wasting time at important moments.
I thought Geomseong was similar to me in that respect, but it turned out to be something different from what I expected.
At that time, I saw Geomseong suddenly turning his head.
The expression was full of suspicion and seemed urgent.
what?
That was when Ibrahim looked puzzled.
Phew!
“huh…?”
A sharp pain came from my back.
The Great Sage opened his eyes wide with an expression as if he were possessed by a completely unexpected feeling.
He slowly lowered his head.
A sharp blade was sticking out of his chest.
The sight of blood flowing and dripping was reflected in my eyes as if it were not real.
What on earth happened… ?
Amid intense pain and dizziness, the great sage tried to understand the situation.
The defense of the blood golem he was riding was not something that even an S-class could easily penetrate.
There weren’t that many people in the world who could do that.
Only the extremely strong could do that.
A person of that caliber on the emperor’s side… .
“Total… number….”
Ibrahim barely managed to exhale, with blood foaming.
The best assassin on the continent.
Commander of the Black Cross.
He, no, she was the emperor’s person.
“As expected, you are wise. I pay my respects before taking my own life.”
A woman’s voice was heard.
He was the head.
She moved under the emperor’s instructions to block America’s retreat route.
Even the emperor’s henchmen all knew that.
But that was not the true mission the emperor secretly conveyed to her.
She has been lurking on this battlefield from the beginning.
Using extreme stealth techniques.
If she decided to go into hiding, it would be difficult for anyone to find her.
Moreover, this was a chaotic battlefield, and the minds of the swordsmen and knights were all focused on the emperor’s army, so they were not discovered.
However, it is not the end if it is not discovered.
As long as at least one of the swordsman and martial arts warrior was by the great sage’s side, it was impossible to assassinate the great sage no matter how powerful he was.
Therefore, the emperor took upon himself the role of bait.
There would be no one who would not be deceived the moment the emperor judged that he could catch a truly desirable prey, the prey that could end this war.
Even if it was a great sage, it all ultimately led to this situation.
“after….”
What kind of laughter is this?
Ibrahim smiled one last time in his fading consciousness and lowered his head.
“Great, great sage!”
“Great Sage!”
All of this happened really quickly.
The hunters next to him reacted a little later, but it was already too late.
No, even if they had already known, they wouldn’t have been able to stop the leader.
It was at that moment that Hyris arrived at the place where the great sage was.
Her eyes widened.
“Ugh, what is this?”
A great sage who died when a blade pierced his back and chest.
The leader of the Black Cross who holds that blade.
She was able to grasp the situation in an instant.
“Ugh, I’m pissed, I’m pissed, I’m pissed.”
She pulled her hair out in frustration.
If he had come a little sooner, he could have prevented the great sage from dying.
If that were the case, everything would have gone smoothly.
But what is this mess?
“Hiris?”
The head and Hyris’ eyes met.
The head of the company also seemed taken aback by this unexpected encounter.
Hyris stared into the distance with a look that seemed to ignore the leader.
“Oh, what’s over there again?”
At first glance, people with the words “Sword Master” and “Warm Demon” written on their faces were engaged in a fierce battle with the emperor.
The problem is that there are clear signs of being pushed back.
she felt
I know that I will have to work hard and sweat very hard here.
“Tch.”
Hyris clicked his tongue bitterly and floated towards where the emperor was.
“at there!”
The commander hurried after her.
