Episode 125
Sgail (8)
“It works better than I thought.”
Jeong-do muttered that when he saw the demon army buried in the stone. It was good to just stick the magic sword in, but attacking using terrain like this was also very effective.
In addition to great damage, it also has the effect of impeding one’s path. This made it possible to further slow down the enemy’s advance.
Jeongdo was looking at the demon army struggling on top of the cliff. It was an exquisite location where you could observe the enemy from above but not from below.
‘Then let’s predict the next course of action.’
Jeongdo clenched his fists without realizing it.
It was because the changed body still felt awkward. But it didn’t mean anything bad. It meant that it was awkward because the physical performance was better than expected.
‘Change your bones.’
In fact, there was no dramatic change like the transformation that often appears in martial arts novels. The transformation of one’s bones in martial arts novels was ultimately a process of changing one’s body into a body suitable for using martial arts, and the transformation one went through was done solely for the purpose of ‘looking good.’
But that alone made a big difference.
The skeleton was properly positioned, the bones became stronger, and the muscle fibers became more delicate. Thanks to this, I felt that smoother operation was possible when swinging a weapon or using mana. In fact, when the transformation was completed, a notification window appeared saying that all abilities had increased by 10.
This synergistic effect can be achieved simply by changing the body structure.
Jeong-do opened his clenched fist and grabbed the sword. And quickly swung towards the air.
Whi profit.
The sword gently cut through the strong wind blowing from the top of the cliff.
Sword skills that were completely different from before embellished the air. This was partly because the body was brought into an ideal shape through a bone transformation, but there was a bigger reason than that.
Swordsmanship level 2.
It was thanks to the weapon skill talent that Jeong Do acquired for the first time.
In fact, the level of swordsmanship up to that point wasn’t bad. Because while loading numerous characters, I could vaguely feel their weapon skills.
But the difference between having talent and not was huge. Jeongdo even felt that a new path for swords had been opened.
It feels like I was born again. After swinging her sword in the air for a while, she grabbed her sword and smiled with satisfaction.
‘You can become stronger.’
It wasn’t just about using magic swords to their full potential. Corrections were made to all actions performed with the sword.
‘I really need to get other weapon skills.’
Spearmanship. Baktu-sul. Ax skills, etc.
I felt like my body was shaking slightly as I imagined how much stronger I would become every time I gained a combat talent.
‘I can’t rest even when I level up.’
And now, the level-up sacrifices were spread out at Jeongdo’s feet.
The skills built into the magic swords had a long cooldown, so they could not be used right away, but there were many other means of attack.
It was okay to shoot javelins with a crab zerg, and it was also okay to do metallurgy using a bow.
After shooting the demon army once, he turned around and hid himself in the cliff.
The war is not over yet.
* * * * * *
“Damn it.”
Pantanon, the leader of the suppression force, was grinding his teeth and driving the rhino. Today is the 5th day since a mysterious person persistently followed the military. Only one third of the troops remained.
‘This is damage caused by just one person?’
It was a reality I did not want to believe. Although he marched out with the elite of the elite, he was unable to kill a single person and lost most of his troops.
It was the most humiliating battle in the thousands of years Pantanon has lived. I wanted to run out and tear that bastard apart right away, but I couldn’t.
It was because of the communication magic cast through the crystal ball currently in Panthanon’s hand.
There was one short line written on the crystal ball.
[Kelsad dies. Give up Sugail. Entire army retreat – Ramon]
Parching.
Pantanon, who confirmed the crystal ball’s message, smashed the crystal ball. And he screamed.
“Listen to the rat that is hiding now!!!”
Pantanon’s angry voice struck the wilderness. But of course, no one answered.
“Next time, I will definitely tear it up!! This is an oath in the name of the demon god. Never forget my name, Panthanon!”
After saying that, a large gate appeared behind Pantanon, and the surviving Demon World soldiers began to retreat. And Pantanon, filled with resentment, glared at the wilderness and entered the gate for the last time. The demonic army could no longer be found in the wilderness.
And very shortly afterwards.
Jeong Do revealed himself from behind a large rock in the wilderness.
“hmm. “The cooldown time is disappointing.”
If any of the three magic swords had gone on cooldown, it would have been a hit, but it was disappointing.
“Well, I’ve leveled up enough and struck a blow, so I should be satisfied.”
There were more important things left to do than that now. Jeong Do approached the gate before it disappeared.
“Give me the coordinates of Ixia.”
<Yes. Please leave it to me!>
I had no intention of ending it like this. Since the hostility level was already maxed, one of the two had to be finished. As Ixia completed analyzing the coordinates, a notification appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
<The demon world has been completely driven out of Sgail. Clear the hidden mission. Obtain 20000 points.>
“oh.”
Was something like this hidden? Jeongdo smiled with satisfaction and returned to the Resistance hideout.
* * * * * *
Jeong Do entered the capital with the resistance.
They shed tears when they saw the almost half-destroyed capital.
In particular, he began to sob when he saw the destroyed imperial palace.
“Those who will kill. How could the imperial palace be treated so cruelly… .”
“How can we rebuild this?”

The resistance members sighed, and Jeongdo broke into a cold sweat.
I don’t know anything else, but this castle called the imperial palace was because it was a castle that was destroyed after he loaded Xiang Yu.
“What is the use of resenting something that has already been broken? “We must find him sooner.”
“What you said is correct, Elder! Everyone hurry up!”
After saying that, the Resistance ran to the center of the royal castle.
It was quite predictable who they were looking for.
The only emperor who ruled the universe called Sugail until the Demon World invaded.
They must be looking for the person they call their majesty.
A young man among the resistance fighters who arrived at the castle, which had been torn in half, shouted.
“lung… I can feel His Majesty’s energy. “It’s underground!”
“Underground? Could it be that those wicked demons are putting Your Majesty in a dungeon?”
“Let’s go underground!”
To some extent, I couldn’t understand their bewildered attitude. If you’re in a dungeon, can’t you just open it? I had some doubts about the extent, but I swallowed my doubts and followed the Resistance underground.
At the place where Jeong Do and the Resistance arrived, there was a huge iron gate. The resistance members sighed when they saw that.
“What should I do with this? “Only your Majesty can open this prison.”
Do-do asked the elder who was sighing like that.
“Why can only he open it? Are you saying that it only reacts to the blood of the royal family?”
But that being said, it is strange that the emperor is trapped here. Because it meant he walked into prison himself. And the question was soon resolved.
“That’s not it. To be precise, there is a legendary barrier spell at the entrance to this prison. It cannot be unlocked unless you are a wizard who has reached legendary level. “I said that because your Majesty is the only wizard in our empire who has reached legendary level.”
“Then let me give it a try.”
After saying that, he used observation towards the barrier.
Tiring!
<Legendary level magic. Ultima Mirage was discovered. Release successfully.>
Parching.
The barrier magic was lifted with the sound of glass cracking. And the iron gate blocking the front disappeared, revealing the inside.
Inside the iron gate, there was a human being hanging out in chains.
“Oh oh. Unbelievable. your majesty!”
“You’re alive! “Hurry and take off the chains!”
The resistance hurriedly ran towards the emperor.
‘It was a woman.’
The emperor was a woman with flowing light blue hair. She was a little surprised that the emperor had never said that she could not be a woman, but she had vaguely guessed that she was a man.
There were many large and small wounds on the emperor’s body, possibly due to severe torture. Her resistance members quickly helped her up and fed her the recovery potion she was carrying.
And after a while, she woke up and the resistance members cheered with joy.
“Thank God!”
“your majesty! Are you out of your mind? It’s Rosnal!”
“Ah, Rosnal. I see you crying, old man. “I hope it’s not a dream.”
“It’s not a dream. your majesty! “Sgail has been liberated!”
Elder Rosnall, who said so, explained the situation so far.
Rosnall’s explanation was lengthy, but could be summarized in just one line.
The man in front of me freed Sgayl from the hands of the demons. The Emperor, understanding the point, nodded his head.
“Rosnal. That’s enough. “I also understood correctly.”
“yes? But your majesty. There are still a lot of stories about our activities… ”
Rosnall began to say something more, but the Emperor boldly ignored him and approached him. Then he gently lowered his head.
“With the help of the warrior, we were able to save our country. Thank you so much.”
And this time he spoke to the resistance.
“Everyone, please leave for a moment. “I have something to share with this person alone.”
“But… your majesty.”
“This is Hwang Myeong. “Everyone, please leave.”
“… “I follow your orders.”
After saying that, the resistance members left the prison. After confirming that they had gone far enough, the emperor spoke to Jeong Do.
“Hero. No, actually, I don’t think the word ‘warrior’ would be appropriate. “That word is used for characters in our world.”
I flinch.
Jeongdo flinched slightly at her words. She saw right away that Jeong Do was a human from another world. She smiled softly as if to reassure her.
“You don’t have to be that surprised. After all, I am the greatest wizard in this world. “We can at least feel that the mana flowing through the warrior’s body has a different structure than ours.”
“okay.”
Well, it wasn’t a particularly important secret, so it didn’t really matter. The degree asked the emperor.
“Anyway, what are you talking about?”
“I have something to give to the hero, or rather, the savior.”
After saying that, the emperor stretched out his hands in the air. Then, surprisingly, the emperor’s hand was sucked into thin air. When Jeongdo was surprised by the sight, the emperor smiled softly.
“We, the royal family of Sgayl, have been able to use subspace magic for generations. This is why the demons kept me alive until the end. “Because I have in my hands all the treasures of the imperial palace.”
After saying that, she pulled her hand out of the air. She was holding a not very large box in both hands.
The box didn’t look that special on the outside. However, the emperor was careful with his hands, as if he were handling something very precious. She approached him and held out her box.
“It is a national treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Sugail Imperial Family. “I hope your benefactor will accept it.”
“National treasure? “Can I accept such a valuable item?”
“yes. On the contrary, it would be difficult if you do not accept it. In a way, we were just storing it.”
She said that and handed the box to Jeong-do, who took it carefully. The box was as light as a feather. It seemed like I couldn’t even feel the weight of the box itself, let alone the items inside. The degree asked her out of curiosity.
“It’s very light. “May I ask what kind of item it is?”
“Actually, I don’t know either.”
“… yes?”
Are you saying that an object whose identity is unknown has been kept as a national treasure in the imperial palace for generations? The Emperor looked at the Emperor with a dumbfounded face, and the Emperor smiled slightly as if he found such a face amusing.
“To be precise, I have to say that I don’t know the purpose of the item. Instead, there is a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation with the object.”
She said that and closed her eyes for a moment. Soon, a singing-like voice came out of her mouth.
“One day, when the world is tainted by evil, a savior will appear from heaven. And that Savior will drive out all evil. And suddenly he will depart.”
“It’s kind of like a fairy tale.”
“yes. I didn’t really believe it too much. It was a legend that had been passed down since my mother’s mother and my grandmother’s grandmother. “Sgail was peaceful for a long time.”
The emperor who had spoken up to that point looked straight at Jeong Do. And then he continued speaking.
“But today I found out that the legend is true. And the legend tells us to hand it over to the savior. “You are the owner of that thing.”
“… … .”
I could intuitively know the extent.
Special information I saw in prison when I first came to the Demon World.
This is the special reward you can get if you help and build friendship with the natives of the Demon World.
“Can I take a look at it for a moment?”
“The item is yours now. Please do as you wish.”
“then. “Please excuse me for a moment.”
After saying that, I opened the box.
Squeak.
It was obviously an old box, but it opened very smoothly.
“marble?”
Inside the box was a bead the size of a fist.
To a certain extent, I used observation toward that bead.
I couldn’t help but be shocked by the notification window that appeared before my eyes.
<There is a perception-impairing spell on you. Observation is unlocking the magic of perception… Failure.>
<The observation completely failed.>
<The target’s information cannot be determined.>
‘failure?!’
That observation failed? And perfectly?
Observation to a certain degree is a fraud skill that can reveal information even through the protective magic of the mythical item ‘Geshuna’s Protection’. The failure of such an observation…
‘It is at least a higher level item than mythical level.’
So what about Unknown Grade? No, maybe it was a higher grade item than that. The emperor was surprised and asked as if he was worried.
“Is there a problem?”
“Oh, it’s okay. “I was just a little surprised because I couldn’t guess what it was for.”
“Of course it is. We have been conducting research for a long time, but we have not been able to obtain any information. But don’t worry. If the legend goes, that item will definitely be of great help to the savior.”
She smiled brightly and put the box in her inventory.
It was the moment when the long expedition to the Demon World came to an end.
