Episode 543
* * *
Ragnarok opened his eyes. It was in front of him.
Jack Milos, not Jack Valantier.
He opens his eyes.
Nine weapons floated around him, and hundreds more behind him.
The eyes of the Emperor sitting on the sea meet the eyes of Ragnarok.
Today is the 10th day.
Ragnarok, who was above, smiled lightly.
“Are you ready?”
The emperor did not answer verbally.
The largest sword among the weapons that came to mind.
The great sword called Arrogance extended towards Ragnarok’s forehead.
That was the answer.
Kwaaaaang-!!
* * *
Ragnarok arrived in the Western Continent with the Blood Horse and the Snow Queen faster than Jack could meet them.
The place they arrived was the first dock of the Cradle Kingdom, and the moment they set foot on the ground there, their eyebrows furrowed.
It had to be that way. It was strange that it didn’t get crumpled.
Because.
Because it was too peaceful.
There were also some people playing with a few fishing rods in a corner as if they were on a trip, and in the distance, there were more than a dozen fishing boats floating.
Honestly, at first I thought I came to the wrong place.
It even smelled like alcohol, as if they were having a banquet. This was something that the two men and women, whose senses were far above average, could tell.
“What is this… what is this?”
The blood horse was speechless. Is there no one who knows what the current situation is?
Why are we so peaceful, as if the war is over?
The initial feeling of embarrassment that covered my entire body quickly turned into anger.
I stamped my feet hard on the ground.
Kwaaaaang-!!
The ground split open and those who had been playing peacefully stopped what they were doing. They could see it.
Red hair that soared high into the sky and moved as if it had its own will.
“Come before me right now, anyone, and explain.”
To some, this might look like bullying. But how is this bullying?
Now, the strongest and most vicious monster since the birth of the world called Ragnarok is coming to this western continent.

He is not coming alone. He is leading an army of chimeras numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
If things continue this way, the destruction of the Western Continent is a foregone conclusion. But what does this mean?
It didn’t make sense to throw a celebratory banquet and travel as if you had no idea what was going on.
It would have been stranger if the Blood Demon and Yu Seol-ha, who had come to this land prepared to die and give their lives, had not become angry.
Now he is acting somewhat more gentlemanly.
That was when.
A light burst out in front of the blood demon.
At the same time, Hyeolma and Yooseolha open their eyes wide.
Because what appeared in that light were three little children.
To be exact, one of them was a bit large, but he was still a kid.
Cell, Thanos, and Charlotte.
I know the blood horse and the talking cell and Charlotte.
I went with those two to the Cheonmasingyo Church, and the Blood Horse saw those two at the Cheonmasingyo Church.
The cell in the front asked.
-It’s been a while.
“… … It’s been a while, but I’d like to hear an explanation first.”
-What explanation?
The Blood Horse looks around. No matter how much he thinks about it, it’s too peaceful here.
“Why aren’t you ready to fight?”
-… … .
“Have you given up?”
Cell shakes his head. Giving up? No way.
Cell answered the Blood Demon’s question with a question.
-You came to help our Majesty?
“Yes, I came to help. I wanted to give him some strength… … .”
-Okay then.
The blood demon blinks. Okay? What?
-Is this all?
I nodded absentmindedly.
Cell spread his hands.
Mana swirls around.

In an instant, the support troops from the Eastern Continent, including the Blood Horse, disappeared from that spot.
The place they appeared was Rotterdam.
This is the place where the war broke out 10 days ago.
Advertisements
There were quite a few people there, where the bloodstains had not yet dried.
Oak Road, Tone Greenhill.
Harpy Lord Leon Villea, Elf Lord Barbara Guido, and the chief warrior of the Dojo, Antonio Senna, and other warriors of the Dojo.
And 10 dragons and elite dwarf and elf units.
The strongest archer of the human race, Benedict, who has recently been nicknamed the new divine archer, the most recent additions are the Asura Lord Yu Je-ha and the Black Magic Spear Lord Xiahou Dun.
And so on.
Their numbers reached nearly five thousand.
This is a gathering of all those who have completed at least 9 circles. In addition, approximately 120 people with at least master-level power have been added.
The number of troops brought by Hyeolma and Yuseolha is 120.
The blood demon burst into laughter after hearing the whole story from Cell.
Emperor, Jack Milos.
As I said before, I don’t know the details of what kind of man he is.
But I know roughly.
The reason why the people of the Western Continent held banquets and lived freely was ultimately due to the personality of the Emperor.
That was consideration. Consideration for one’s own people.
It was also confidence. The confidence that I would never give up in any way.
However, after listening to Cell’s words, I couldn’t help but feel a little suspicious.
“So the Emperor didn’t announce that he was going to fight? Then who are these people?”
-Our Majesty used to show off a lot.
It was true.
Blackman was puzzled when he met Jack. He felt that he was different from usual.
It was the same with Barbara Guido, and with others.
The Emperor probably didn’t care. He was probably pushing himself to win the fight.
But since he kept making it known like that, those who needed to know couldn’t help but know.
The blood horse burst into laughter once more.
My prediction was right.
The emperor was 1% short.
There were as many as 5,000 people in this place who had the heart to fill that 1%.
Although the power didn’t seem that strong, it was sufficient.
Blood Horse and Yuseolha slowly turned their heads. They were there.
A woman wearing a black dress with her legs crossed.
[It’s been a while.]
Yu Seol-ha was the first to react to the rolling voice of the jade beads. She bowed her head deeply.
It was a word of gratitude. It was a word of joy.
Blood Horse stared blankly at the woman. Her voice was familiar. He had definitely heard it before.
I thought about it and thought about it.

That was the voice of the ‘doll’ I saw at Cheonmasingyo.
“… … I remember once having a drink with the Emperor on a moonlit night, and that doll was sitting on his shoulder, right?”
Valentine smirks.
[I still remember your voice whining about wanting to meet a girl, but how come you’ve met a girl before?]
The blood horse burst into laughter. Ah, the world is truly amazing the more you know about it.
“I came here to buy time to meet you. The world needs to become a better place to live in before I can meet a woman or a man.”
[It’s still the same.]
Valentine looks around for a moment. It’s quiet here. And why have these troops gathered here, in Rotterdam?
It’s simple.
Before Valentine first went to the Eastern Continent, he had taken several measures in the Western Continent.
It’s a kind of signal detector, and if ‘something’ crosses the border of the Black Sea, the signal goes to Valentine.
Two of them rang out, one was the blood horse and the other was Ragnarok in front of me.
This is the direction they are coming from. That’s why they are all gathered here.
[Get organized. Everyone.]
The gathered forces sat down in their respective places and reorganized their weapons.
Guard this place. Stop the hundreds of thousands of chimeras that are flocking here.
That’s their role.
Jack wasn’t alone.
* * *
The Great Sword Oman stopped exactly 1cm away from Ragnarok’s forehead.
“Is this the answer? It seems like the realm has been raised a notch, but it’s probably not enough.”
Ragnarok was real. And I, who am dealing with such Ragnarok, am also real.
I slowly got up from my seat.
The gauntlet that Menama made for me, the anger was sucked into both my hands. I put it on naturally and stretched my hands out to both sides.
The long sword Paedo is in his hand. He extends his other hand. Another long sword Wangdo is in his hand.
A defeat in the left hand, a king in the right.
It may seem strange, but I am good at using a sword. Whether I hold one sword or two, a sword is still a sword.
The guy raises his hand. The moment he grabs the blade of arrogance.
I kicked the seat.
There was no sound, because it was through space.
In an instant, I fell behind Ragnarok and swung my sword. The guy threw his head back. I swung my sword. The guy raised his arm to block.
Kwaang-! My body was pushed slightly to the side and the bastard’s eyes widened slightly. It must have felt that it was faster than it thought.
I let go of the royal road. The arrogance that was floating in the sky is now in my hands. It is heavy. It was struck down from above.
Hoooooow-!!
Ragnarok turns his body to the side. The sea splits. His middle finger and thumb touch. In that state, slap-.
At the snap, the surrounding sea rose into the sky.
The entire sea turns into a blade and shoots at me, completely covering the surrounding area.
I stared blankly. Ragnarok tilted his head. Why is he doing that? That’s the expression on his face.

Just like that, I sank under the water. I didn’t enter some kind of unconsciousness or anything, I literally went into the sea.
It went down further, gaining momentum.
My heart is pounding.
Thump, thump, thump.
I clenched both hands tightly just before the Ragnarok attack aimed at me reached me.
Oh my god-!!
All the sea around me was frozen. Naturally, the attacks from the thing that was shooting at me were frozen as well. Even though it was the thing’s attack, if you look at it fundamentally, that was also water.
Ragnarok’s expression is visible through the ice. His eyes are wide open.
I ignored it and muttered quietly.
“[The place where I stand is my own land.]”
Water is not usually considered land. However, some people consider ice to be land. I was thinking of this ice as my land right now. It’s just like that.
“[Nothing will invade or touch my land.]”
The frozen sea burst out all at once. Ice shards were scattered in all directions. I waved my arm. The ice shards were reaching out to Ragnarok. A smile appeared on his lips.
“I wondered why you were waiting at the sea, and then I guess you thought of something like this.”
The kid. He was taking it easy as ice shards flew at him. But judging from his subsequent actions, it was quite possible that he would do so.
He snaps his fingers again.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!!
Every shard of ice that flew at him oxidized on the spot.
As expected, the ice around us broke and opened up the space between me and him.
I put strength into my legs. I got right in front of the bastard’s nose.
He swung his sword just like that. The bastard took a step back and held out his hand. With a snap, Oman was caught.
At the same time, I sent a message to all the weapons that were flying with the ice shards. I told them to attack the guy all at once.
The arrogance that was in his grasp was left as is.
At that moment, the guy turns around. I turn around too.
The flying dragon, Sloth, passes by me and the guy. I stretch out my hand. Sloth changes direction and falls into my hand. I throw it away.
The bastard tilts his head back and dodges lightly. At that moment, I leap through space.
I can see the big guy’s face because I moved right above him.
He brought down hard the sword he was holding.
Before it could reach the bastard’s forehead, tearing the sky and space apart, its body spun around.
The centrifugal force of the bastard’s foot struck the paedo. It soared into the sky. My arms were numb. I gritted my teeth and stretched out my knees.
Kwajik-!
It hit the guy in the stomach. He struck down with his right arm folded.
The gauntlet that Menama made, the rage has thorns embedded in it like eternal iron. I used that part. But phew.
Cut through the air.
There was no one there.

My side feels cold. I didn’t look back or block it. I just kicked the ground and flew to the side. This was the result of a combination of experience and instinct.
I thought I avoided it.
