Episode 208 Guardian of Iron Blood ‘Empire’ (2)
The blue status window kept blinking in front of Jinhyuk’s eyes.
[You chose an empire between the middle-tier giant power empire and the martial arts empire.]
[Gain the trust of Emperor Reinhardt III and lead the empire to a path of complete prosperity.]
[If successful, the third perk for ‘the first to conquer the tower’ is unlocked.]
Exciting! Exciting! Exciting!
My heart was beating crazy fast.
Third privilege!
‘I wondered why it had been so quiet for so long, but it only happened when it was related to a major event.’
Greed passed through Jinhyeok’s eyes.
However, it was only for a short time.
‘I don’t even have time to enjoy new events.’
Quang!
Clap!
Before I knew it, the guardsmen who had entered the conference room surrounded Jinhyeok.
They are all knights who know how to use Aurors.
Among them were high-level knights with radiant solar blood.
The body of a gold dragon is engraved on the armor.
It’s definitely true.
The Imperial Guard is called the heart of the empire.
Sreung… … !
The guard captain drew his sword.
“How dare you come here! If you have black hair, I think you are a spy sent from the martial arts world. You will have to confess how you managed to move through space through the palace’s distortion magic.”
therefore.
The space movement artifact was given to you by the gentleman sitting over there?
Jinhyuk made a gesture toward Fenheimer asking for help.
Fenheimer just looked at Jinhyuk with an expression that was still a mix of anticipation and slyness.
shit.
If you believe in that old man, even 12 lives might be lacking.
If there were people like the Iron Chancellor of the Empire who attended the masquerade ball, it might be possible to resolve the misunderstanding.
Unfortunately, the people I saw back then were not visible at this meeting.
‘Is this even included in the calculation?’
then… … .
Jinhyeok quickly activated ‘Eyes of Gluttony’ towards the emperor.

[Details: Reinhardt, the first emperor who established a great empire by uniting 17 kingdoms. He established his absolute position based on overwhelming charisma and military power. However, as time passed, the imperial power weakened, while the power of the nobles was growing day by day. Reinhard III tried his whole life to re-establish imperial authority, but… … If this continues, I don’t think Reinhard IV will ever wear the crown.]
[Copy condition: If you gain the emperor’s trust, you will be able to copy one of his skills.]
“…….”
The emperor’s eyes are dead.
This may be due to a sense of self-destruction over not being able to change the path leading to catastrophe despite trying all my life.
A life spent burning one’s own body as firewood.
Now, we have to rekindle the spark in the heart of an old man who has no fire left.
Jinhyuk took out a ‘fang’ from the subspace inventory.
“Are you going to resist?”
The captain of the guard let out a laugh as if it was ridiculous.
“It looks like I’m being unfairly accused of being a martial artist, so will I just stay still?”
“Hoo. You’re not a martial artist? Then where on earth do you come from?”
“I came from outside the tower. If I say player… will you understand?”
At the word “player,” everyone’s attention was focused once again.
“……!”
“He’s a player?”
“Now that I think about it, I heard that the intelligence department said there were people with black hair outside the tower.”
“You mean it’s one of them? But I understand the players haven’t broken through the 10th floor yet. How on earth did they get here?”
Although most players were still at the bottom of the tower, their potential and value could not be ignored.
That has to be the case.
Residents confined in the tower must pay a huge price if they go to the lower level of the tower or go outside.
On the other hand, players were free from such restrictions and could freely go up and down the stairs, and their growth rate was much faster than that of residents.
This means that it is a key resource that must be secured in this war, of course, to get to the upper levels of the tower.

“Lord Fenheimer. Is what you are saying true? Aren’t you in charge of the player’s side?”
The captain of the guard immediately tried to confirm the facts with Fenheimer.
“Well, I’m seeing this person for the first time.”
Of course, Penheimer denied any relationship with Jinhyuk.
I am confident with this.
Penheimer is now demanding that he get out of this situation.
‘To be precise, through the use of force… … I guess it means showing the emperor what kind of person I am.’
A shock agent that will wake up the emperor from his lethargy.
At the same time, there is a player who can prove that there is hope for the future of the empire.
I have to prove it here and now.
“I was looking forward to a leisurely tour… but this will cost me dearly later.”
Jinhyeok muttered and immediately injected magical power into his sword.
Partz tsk tsk… … .
Blue energy spread along the blade.
“Hoo. Do you mean he knows how to use Aurors? Still, he seems to have learned the basics quite a bit. However, it was a mistake to come here with only that level.”
The guard captain chuckled.
And immediately he shouted at the guard next to him.
“Makan!”
“yes!”
The guard knight who received the call stepped forward, holding his sword with both hands.
“Oh oh!”
“For the first time in a while, I will be able to see the Royal Guard knights in action.”
“I’m looking forward to it. Take down that insolent intruder right now!”
The nobles who were watching also waited with expectant eyes for what would happen next.
The result is decided anyway.
What I was excited about was the process leading to the results.
Everyone cheered at the thought of being able to see the greatness of the empire and the horrors of the invaders.
“Suppress him without killing him. It doesn’t matter if you cut off an arm or a leg.”
“Please just leave it to me.”
Macan took a stance.
A strong physique and basic skills developed through rigorous training.
Indeed, he is a knight of the royal guard that the empire is proud of.
Tuk!
With light steps, Makan immediately narrowed the distance between Jinhyuk and Jinhyuk.
It’s a good moment to do it at the same time.
The sword cut horizontally toward Jinhyuk’s thigh.
however.
Buuuuung!
The attack that was thought to be perfect ended up flying through thin air.
Boom!
Buuuuung!
Second case, third case… … .
We continued to attack, but the result was the same.
Rather, Jinhyuk went behind Macan and grabbed his back.
“Cats usually become quiet when you hold them by the back of their necks. I guess not humans.”
“How dare you!”
Makan, who was very intoxicated, immediately tried to shake off Jinhyeok’s grasp.
However, contrary to what I thought, my body did not move as I wanted.
＊＊＊
Jujutsu (柔術).
Jinhyuk grabbed the back of the Macan and cleverly disrupted its center of gravity.
Coo!
Macan, who had smacked his butt in an unsightly manner, flailed his arms and legs on the floor.
Of course, it only lasted a moment.
Quack!
This is because the relentless kick crushed his chin.
For a moment, the surroundings became quiet as if ice water had been poured on them.
Even the mocking laughter.
Even the leisurely chatter.
… … Everything disappeared.
Jinhyuk shrugged his shoulders.
“Surely, this isn’t at the level of the empire? If so, I’m so disappointed. This.”
A clear provocation followed.
What kind of nonsense is this in a gathering of numerous nobles, including His Majesty the Emperor?
If we couldn’t get this sorted out right away, we had nothing to say even if everyone was beheaded.
“Shane! Bayrn!”
The guard captain shouted again.
thud!
Percussion!
This time, two knights launched themselves at the same time.
The passing list was spread out as if it were measured with a ruler.
But even that seemed too slow in Jinhyuk’s eyes.
They’re only sending two people… … .
“I still haven’t come to my senses.”
Jinhyuk, who avoided the tip of the knife by just a piece of paper, moved his hands at a speed so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Pow!
puck!
The handle of the dagger struck the back of the head.
Because the force and speed were accurately applied, the two knights could not even think of dodging or defending.
Shane and Bayern, who were unconscious on the spot, fell left and right.
It happened literally in an instant.
“Unbelievable.”
The guard captain’s mouth opened wide.
Now I realize that the situation is not unusual.
‘Your movements are not normal.’
Considering that they treated the knights like they were children’s play, they must have been highly trained intruders.
However, no matter how good your movements are, that’s just it.
Acrobatics can never surpass art.
“From now on, I will deal with you myself.”
The knight commander extended his sword forward.
Cuckoo cuckoo!
A blue light that completely covered the sword body shot up about 30cm.
It is not just a level of creating an aura on the blade, but a state of materializing that form.
That meant only one thing.
A person who can handle a completed Aura Blade.
In other words.
It is ‘Sword Master’.
“This is an Auror Blade. It’s on a completely different level from the one you use. I regret looking down on the Imperial Guard… Huh!?”
However, the eyes of the guard captain who was speaking dilated as if they were about to explode.
I was so shocked that I almost dropped the sword from my hand.
It had to be that way.
He majestically displayed Auror, which can be said to be his strongest skill.
The other person also brought up the same thing.
Kukukukukuku!
A pure light that burned the air began to take over the entire conference room.
It’s not just 30cm.
The auror, which soared close to 2 meters, had a black color that made it look like it could be sucked in.
It is an Auror Blade without a doubt.
It’s so perfect that you can’t even compare it to yourself.
Rattling!
No matter if it was for my face or my own shame, I couldn’t stop my limbs from shaking.
And no noble said anything about it.
It was only natural for a rabbit to be scared in front of a tiger.
“That… a bright auror blade.”
“So, you’re saying he’s the Sword Master? Is that guy?”
“no.”
The one who denied it outright was ‘Merton’, the Empire’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
He was a person who interacted countless times with various powers of the tower as well as the empire and the martial arts world.
Merton was confident because he had met many powerful people over the decades.
“It’s more than that.”
Above the Sword Master.
A dream state that only two people in the empire possess.
Grand Sword Master.
It was only when training in cutting bones and a talent that comes once in a hundred years were combined that he had to learn how to hold a sword before learning to walk… … .
No, it is an area that can only be reached if you also support it with innate luck.
that… … .
A stranger I saw for the first time did it.
