The Returned Sword King Decided to Become a Tyrant Chapter 220
Dawn is breaking (1)
Swoosh-
“Deploy the shield quickly! Quickly!”
bang!
Kwakwakwang!
“Huh!”
Magic fired by the enemy covers the palace.
The golden walls that symbolized its splendid glory were covered in dust and cracks, and their former appearance could no longer be seen.
Just ten minutes.
This happened less than ten minutes after their forces had crossed the walls.
The problem is that you can never predict where or how their magic will come from.
Swoosh-
“T, tsk… …! The magic is flying again!”
“Damn it! How on earth can you use magic at a distance like this!”
Magical spells flying from distances beyond common sense.
Is this what it feels like to block an invisible enemy’s arrows with your senses?
All the magical power spread out to determine the location was useless, and the palace was gradually allowing attacks due to unexpected attacks.
‘A sniper shot from a distance, beyond the spread of the rumor… ‘
How bad must it have been for all the magicians in the capital to continue fighting even when they were all gathered together?
Naturally, as this happened, the means of control disappeared, and the number of magic spells flying in also increased.
“Where would the two great wizards be at a time like this… … .”
That was when.
Swoosh-
“… … !”
“What, this?! When on earth did this happen!”
Magic flew in, taking advantage of the momentary weakening of the magical power protecting the castle.
The wizard shouted urgently.
“Quick, put up a wall… …!”
“It’s late!”
Kwakwakwakwang!
Kkakakak!
Ki-ki-ki-ki-ki-ki!
“… … !”
“That, that!”
“It’s falling apart!”
At that moment, one side of the wall tilted with a bone-chilling sound.
A huge shadow and debris approaching from behind.
The eyes of the wizards who confirmed this widened.
“Blood, damage!”
“Eww!”
Kwarrrrung!!
“This can’t be happening!”
Their silhouettes were eventually swept away by the collapsed wall and disappeared.
Some people were maintaining a defensive wall at a considerable distance away, and were barely able to save their lives by throwing themselves.
But they weren’t the ones using magic right below the palace.
They had already exhausted all their magical power, so there was no way they could avoid the falling debris.
Crunch-!
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”
And that moment.
“The wizards have been defeated! If things continue like this, the palace may collapse!”
The man sitting proudly on the throne.
I was hearing all those reports.
“… … the wizards were hit.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Have you heard any news about the Marquis of Lokagos and Matapju yet?”
“……that.”
The knight had no choice but to keep his mouth shut at the emperor’s quiet question.
In fact, news about them had already been coming in for a long time.
Because there were more than a few people who saw the ice wall that rose in the middle of the capital and the Marquis’ own space.
But that was all.
They had no way of knowing what was going on inside.
There is only one thing left, the result.
They could see that the barrier separating the dimensions had disappeared and the enemy king had walked out.
The only thing we can purely infer from this is that this situation is not going to work out in their favor.
“… … Your Majesty, that is not important right now!”
The knight, who had been biting his lips, quickly changed the subject.
“Now that the walls have collapsed, there is no way to stop their attacks! Even if the palace falls, the enemy forces are already right up to us!”

“Then what do you want me to do with my luggage?”
“……yes?”
“Should I escape through the secret passages of the palace and be miserably captured?”
“That, that is… … .”
“If not, would you bow your head to the enemy and receive security right now?”
“… … .”
The Emperor’s lips curled at the knight’s heavy silence.
Even as desperate news came in every second, the emperor remained steadfast.
To be exact, it was correct that he couldn’t move.
“There is no news of the archmages who would be our last hope, and the palace is collapsing under their attacks every moment.”
The enemy’s thirty thousand troops were heading towards this place, and the magicians were keeping a close eye on the capital.
“If you run away in this state, you will surely be killed by the pursuing enemy.”
“Ha, but… … !”
It was so true that the article had no answer.
Perhaps the emperor was the one who understood this situation more objectively than anyone else.
“So just shut up.”
At that moment, the emperor’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.
“It’s not just them who have the knife hidden until the end.”
Yes, he still had one way to turn the situation around.
At least for ‘him’.
Step by step – step by step –
“your majesty?”
The knight, who had been in despair, caught sight of the Emperor walking down from the throne.
Why did it look like that sight had been waiting for this moment?
What’s more, those eyes…
Crunch!
“… … Cool?!”
Suddenly, the knight questioned the feeling of his chest being ripped apart.
But the only thing flowing out of my throat was not my voice, but a thick clump of blood.
The blood that once made up his body and the internal organs mixed with it.
They were refluxed through the esophagus due to the palm piercing the chest!
“your majesty……?”
Crack!
Kkardkkkkkkkkkkkkk!
“Take it, squeak… … creak… … .”
“Kuuuuu.”
Soon, the knight’s body twists and becomes distorted into a deformed shape.
Blood oozes out from various parts of the skin that burst due to internal pressure, and soon it gradually contracts as if being sucked in by something.
And the Emperor’s body, which he had put his hand on his chest and was stirring, began to gradually change.
“… … Ah, yes. This is it. This power.”
Cracked skin. Blackened whites. Pitch-black magic enveloping the entire body.
Finally, two pairs of wings flew away, unable to withstand the enormous force.
The emperor had already become something that could hardly be called human.
This is the last resort he was preparing.
Clank- clank-
“Kuuuuuuu… … It’s finally coming.”
Approaching the Imperial Palace, which will be the final battlefield, with armor all over his body covered in blood that no one knows whose blood it belongs to.
It was a dagger pointed at that little lamb.
* * *
“Allen Esteban.”
That was the beginning.
Let’s just raise our eyes and look there.
He saw a familiar face sitting on the throne, looking down at him with an arrogant gaze.
However, the only thing that was familiar was the shape of the face.
“Are you trying to change the mood? You don’t look funny.”
Because the hideous skin and the two pairs of bat-like wings bore not even the slightest resemblance to its former appearance.
“Leiden del Carrot.”
The corners of my mouth slowly began to rise.
This was the second time I had seen the bastard’s face in person. It was quite a contrast when I thought about it.
“If you finally give up being human, then you’ve succeeded. It seems that way to me.”
“Kuuuuu, it’s definitely different from what I’ve seen before. What do you think? Are you feeling scared now?”
“no.”
I flatly denied what he said. Then I confirmed it in a cold voice.
“Unlike when I found Esteban last time, I don’t even feel sorry for you anymore.”
“… … What?”
“It means that even that appearance is incredibly funny.”
The gentle manners and smile revealed in front of the mask.
To him, polite speech was nothing more than a representation of his own confidence.
‘Confidence that you can stand in the sky of everyone even if you have to humble yourself.’
And the position and trust that made this possible.
Even though the back side was stained with blood, it was clear that there would be no obstacles to the future he envisioned.
But now?
“There is no one left to guard your position anymore. Those proud armies are now tied up in all directions and will no longer be of any help.”
“… … .”
“Do you still not understand your situation?”
“… … .”
The bastard’s expression gradually hardened into a blank expression at my flat voice.
Yeah. He no longer has the means to act as if he were having a blast at Esteban.
It was only after he had burned his own body with denial that he was able to face me!
“K, kehahaha!”
At that moment, the bastard covered his face with his split palm and started to lash out.
“What’s so fun about it?”
“I see! I am convinced when I see you like that! Your power is not that of a young child who has just become a Sword Master! You are worthy of being defeated by Marquis Lukagos!”
“It’s not just them.”
I opened my mouth to correct the guy’s misconceptions.
“Not only the Marquis of Carlos, but also the commander of the Golden Dragon Knights that I had put to sleep with magic. I killed them all with my own hands.”
“Marquis Carlos?”
“It’s no use pretending not to know. You must have sent him through the secret passage to the West.”
“Kuuuuu! Right, if you know that much, you speak quickly! That’s what I thought!”
The eyes of the man who had been building the mine widened as if he was enjoying it.
Here, the pitch-black eyes that were writhing with black magic. It was close to madness.
“There was no coincidence! It was you! You ruined all my plans and drove me into a corner!”
From the case of the Sword Master who was reported missing to the case of the ‘Crow’.
Finally, the clues that I couldn’t even guess at began to unravel when I faced them face to face.
“Then I ask you! How did you discover my scheme?”
“… … .”
“From your father’s assassination to the existence of the spy planted in the tower, it was designed so that you, Esteban, would never find out!”
“… … .”
“Why are you pushing me aside and trying to become the main character of history!”
bang!
The emperor stood up from his throne and slammed it down.
Emotions that become more and more intense as the words are spoken.
The name of it, which had been hidden all along, was inferiority complex.
No matter what scheme he came up with, he was blocked by a man named Allen Esteban.
At some point, all of my actions were stemming from an inferiority complex!
“Answer me! What on earth did you do? How could someone like you possibly defeat me!”
“You’re wasting your time. Do you only feel sorry for your life when it’s come to this?”
“… … Okay, if you don’t want to answer, that’s fine. I guess I just planted a seed inside you anyway.”
He bribed his subordinates into positions where they could somehow figure out his plan.
And then he used the leaked information to block his path and force himself to come here.
Deriving the most reasonable conclusion.
There was no other way to think about it than going that way.
“Then, could you possibly know this too?”
At that moment, the blood vessels in the emperor’s passionate eyes burst out.
And the black blood flowing down between the long scars. Using it as a medium, the hidden magic began to activate.
“This is.”
Ss …
Suddenly, the flow of air surrounding the area changed.
More precisely, the new fluid began to push out the old one and take over the interior of the battlefield.
The emperor, sensing the changed flow of the atmosphere, burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, I guess you couldn’t have known this. This is something you’ve never experienced before!”
It’s colorless and odorless, but you can feel what it is.
I slowly looked around and opened my mouth softly.
“It’s poison.”
“Kuuuuu, that’s right. This body has absorbed and condensed the deadly poison from the hearts of ten thousand people.”
The emperor wiped his chapped face and sighed.
“It will eat away at your flesh and soul. Even after you die. Forever.”
Spreading poison throughout this space. That was the last weapon he had prepared.
