Episode 243 The weight of the name ‘Reinhardt’ (2)
Kukukukuk!
The entire tomb shook with a loud noise.
As if warning that grave punishment will be meted out to grave robbers who aim for treasure.
A cloud of dust poured from the ceiling.
“Ugh, wow! It’s a trap!”
“Dodge everything! You have to move backwards, backwards!”
Beinsteln’s associates were frightened and took a step back.
Puff puff!
Pow!
Crossbows were fired between walls.
Wizards whose entire bodies were pierced gushed out blood and died.
“Gagging!”
“Cough….”
Because there was a spell that expertly destroyed the shield, the damage was beyond imagination.
Even knights with excellent physical abilities could only barely survive.
Shake!
“Uh huh?”
“Save me, save me.”
This time, the floor collapsed, and traps full of windows appeared underneath.
It’s a trap that continues like a storm.
“As expected, you are the one to lead the enemies into a trap. Well done. Thanks to you, I can take a breather.”
Cheon Yu-seong patted Jin-hyeok’s shoulder with a reassuring look on his face.
Since I was able to take advantage of the confusion and obtain the ‘Sky Stone’, it can be said that the most important goal was achieved.
hmm.
Thank you for the compliment… … .
“The activation range for this is the entire grave.”
“what?”
“We should do our best to avoid it too. Ah, to be exact, there is a secret passage leading outside at the end of the tomb, so we can go outside with the emperor.”
“This is crazy! What on earth are you planning like this?”
“Hey, don’t be too harsh. You just have to avoid the trap well. Watch carefully.”
Jinhyuk moved his head slightly to avoid the flying crossbow.
One step, two steps. And then one more step.
The crossbow that grazed his body became lodged in the wall on the other side.
Poisonous needles and spears flew at different beats from under his feet and from the ceiling, but Jinhyeok had already escaped like a loach.
“It’s very elastic, so trying to hit it or twisting its trajectory is actually dangerous. It’s best to avoid it like this, but if you do it a few times, you’ll get used to it. And the rest of the traps have a gap of about 0.13 seconds before they are activated. You can use that gap to move quickly.”
There were about 17 other traps, but if you figure out the pattern, you will be able to get to the exit without difficulty.
Hey.
To be honest, at this level, it’s almost as if a tube was stuck down my throat and rice was shoved into my mouth.
These are things I memorized through a lot of hard work, but since I shared this with you for free, I’m sure you’ll get an overwhelming response of emotion.
“Damn it. That’s easier said than done. Are you telling me to avoid everything flying at me at that speed?”
“……That’s possible because it’s Jinhyuk.”
Cheon Yu-seong gritted his molars and Teresa let out a small sigh.
“Tsk, tsk. You didn’t even consider that the old emperor could make such a move, did you?”
Even Ellis clicked his tongue and looked pitiful.
“I guess I chose the wrong side. I should tell the duke I’m sorry right now.”
Even Abraham despaired of the choice he had made.
‘hmm… … ‘Is this really that difficult?’
Once you get used to it, I think you can do it with your eyes closed… … .
I don’t know the standard for being difficult.
However, I agree with the saying that it is difficult for the emperor, even if it is not for other people.
then.
“I will create a gap with the barrier, and in the meantime, you guys form a formation and go out. Mr. Pesis can act as a guide, so it won’t be too difficult to get out.”
After weakening the power of the crossbow with a defensive barrier, the emperor was protected from all sides.
Since I had a physics optimized for finding a way out, I was able to reduce the risk to a minimum.
“What do you plan to do?”
“I have to stay. I might need someone to take the time until I report this to the outside world.”
The nobles in the imperial palace may not know, but the kings of the rest of the kingdom have no choice but to take this incident seriously.
It’s a natural thing.
Because they didn’t know if it could be their future.
And if only I could let them know about this… … .
You will be able to create a dagger that can completely destroy Beinsteln’s plot.
“It’s not a bad idea. If we follow that method, we will be the ones who can establish a cause.”
Abraham nodded.
“Damn. I always feel like I’m in the middle of a storm when I’m with you.”
Cheon Yu-seong grumbled, but didn’t really object.
This is because I realized that this method was the only way.
“Take care of yourself, Mr. Jinhyuk.”

“Don’t worry too much about this. I will do my best to lead you safely.”
Teresa and Pesis also added a word.
“Thanks to you, I can dream once again. I hope we can meet up above.”
Lastly, Reinhardt greeted us with gratitude and respect.
With such a short goodbye.
Ugh!
Jinhyuk opened a barrier.
At the same time, everyone left their seats and started running towards the entrance.
No, not everyone.
Only one.
“Why aren’t you going?”
Ellis stood still next to Jinhyuk without moving.
“I think it would be difficult for you to deal with all those guys alone. Losing a contractor for nothing like this was not in my plans.”
“That’s an admirable thing to say, but you haven’t fully recovered your magic power yet. Don’t you think you’ll just be a burden?”
“There’s no need to use force. Even if that’s not the case, there is a way to resolve the issue with the Empire’s troops. At least they won’t be holding you back.”
Before she knew it, Ellis was holding a sword symbolizing ‘Reinhardt’ in her hand.
“Isn’t that the sword of the first emperor…?”
Not for combat, but for ceremonial use.
Therefore, it was a sword that was nothing more than an ornament to decorate the tomb.
“Yes. That’s right. It’s that guy’s sword.”
Ellis lightly swung the sword as if reminiscing about the past.
＊＊＊
A place swept away by a storm.
Due to numerous traps, Bainsteln and the nobles suffered tremendous damage.
“Ugh….”
Beinsteln wiped the blood flowing from his forehead with the back of his hand.
It was a mistake to not realize that there would be a trap that would be activated in this way.
But, it’s not too late.
The opponent must have also had a hard time avoiding this trap.
All you have to do now is set up a chase team and kill him.
But right then.
Someone appeared in front of Beinsteln.
It was a white-haired girl who was always next to that human.
“I thought you ran away. But you’re still here.”
“I also hate getting caught up in troublesome things more than dying. My true intention is to sip wine in a soft bed.”
“Your words and actions are contradictory. If so, why didn’t you escape?”
“Because my contractor wants it.”
“Isn’t it such a vain reason for death? Well, if that’s your choice, I hope you won’t regret it.”
It was when Beinsteln was about to give orders to the knights next to him.
“Before we start, may I ask you one question?”
“Hmm. Is this the final question? Okay, I’ll allow that much.”
“You humans emphasize loyalty and honor so much, so why are you trying to betray the emperor?”
“It’s a question not worth answering. Loyalty should be given to anyone who deserves it. However, the emperor is not worthy of it.”
“That’s strange.”
Hearing Bainsteln’s words, Ellis tilted her head.
“What’s strange?”
“Didn’t your family swear to protect the name ‘Reinhardt’ for generations? The first Reinhardt certainly said so.”
“Hahaha! That’s absurd. It’s almost like a lie. I never thought I’d make something like this up. They say the first emperor lived for a long time thanks to his transformation after climbing over the wall, but he lived long enough to face a young kid like you. It’s not true.”
Beinsteln burst into laughter, but Ellis did not laugh.
“I think I’m completely mistaken…”
Ellis slowly opened his mouth.
“The kid is the guy who wielded this sword.”
I am.
“I’m the one who saw that sword take its first steps.”
‘Tersencio. Te Arfem.’
In the short words that flowed from Ellis’ mouth… … .
… … The rune engraved on the sword responded.
What followed was the light emitted from the sword and the image of a young man formed by the light.
It was only an illusion, not reality, but that illusion radiated a presence greater than the reality of everyone here.
An earthquake occurred in the pupils of the nobles.
“Oh, this can’t be right.”
“That person could not be….”
It’s definitely true.
A great emperor who unified the empire.
To be exact, it was Reinhardt I in his youth.
“Woah, meet your Majesty the Emperor.”
“The sword… was a relic containing the image of the emperor.”
Among the old gods, there were some who remembered Reinhardt’s appearance.
They were the wise men of the Magic Tower or the sword masters who jumped over the wall.
Right then.
The man wrapped in a halo of light looked at Ellis.
“It’s a close friend I haven’t seen in a long time. Haha. It would have been great if this had been my lifetime. It’s just a shame to face this image that was projected as a memory from the past.”
A sad smile appeared on Reinhardt’s mouth.
It wasn’t reality, but only fragments of the fragmented ego that brought out that smile.
“Yeah. Me too.”
“Still, seeing as you’ve come here, it seems like you’ve escaped the corridors that bound you.”
“I met a good person. He resembles you a little bit.”
“That’s a relief. I’m really fortunate.”
Reinhardt and Ellis talked calmly.
The exchange of very routine greetings was a common sight that could be seen anywhere.
Those who were watching could not help but be shocked by each and every trivial conversation.
“Does that girl really… know His Majesty the First Emperor?”
“I can’t believe it.”
Even as time passed, all the vassals of the empire remembered the feats of King Reinhard I the Conqueror.
Sword masters and great mages who were allowed to live long lives met the emperor in person.
Even those who could not meet him in person learned about the great conqueror through numerous history books and textbooks.
-The first emperor was the empire itself. His will and will take precedence over all laws and regulations.
Made the impossible possible.
An absolute person who allowed a stable life for the people of the empire who lived in anxiety every day.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the current peace and vast territory were all the achievements of the first emperor.
However, the emperor’s alter ego heard the truth from Ellis.
Reinhardt’s gaze turned to the nobles.
“The tower with the six-pointed star is a symbol of the White Tower. In other words, it means that you belong to the magic family led by Terher.”
“Yes, that’s right. Terher was my father. I also had an audience with His Majesty when I was young.”
In response to Reinhardt’s question, the old man in the robe bowed his head.
“Then you will also remember. The White Tower swore an oath. I would protect the empire and my bloodline.”
The voice becomes heavy.
However, the question was filled with deep regret rather than reprimand or rebuke.
maybe… … The time when the empire was founded. I guess they miss the loyalists who sacrificed their lives for their loyalty.
“…….”
Baektapju bowed his head with a stern face.
Because even if there were ten mouths, there was nothing to say.
Reinhardt’s eyes turned to another man.
“The Red Cavalry is the symbol of the Tryon family. When the signal that an enemy has invaded the Empire is raised, your flag is the first thing to be seen on the plains coming to the Ecliptic. Am I wrong?”
Be the first to fight the enemy and be the last to retreat.
That was the belief of the Tryon family, called the Spear of the Empire.
“……I’ll take it back.”
“It’s just a pity that the tip of the spear is pointed at the imperial family, not the enemy. If Tryon were here, he would have mourned with me.”
“…….”
The emperor’s voice continued.
The nobles who were singled out let out heavy sighs and fell silent.
“It is true that my descendants are incompetent. It is also true that the future of your family may be bleak because of this.”
but.
Nevertheless.
“Your family and your ancestors swore: even when the empire falls and everything turns to dust, we will meet the end by my side and my descendants.”
If that fate is their own words.
I will accept even that with a smile.
The first head of the family swore an oath.
Because I knew that was the way to repay the emperor’s kindness.
“Remember that oath.”
Reinhard gave the final command.
There was deep silence within the tomb.
Nobles and knights led by nobles were not allowed to raise their swords and shields.
The wizards also kept their mouths shut because they could not chant.
“This… What are you doing? Don’t be swayed by the words of a ghost who has already died, but raise your sword. Fire magic and wipe out those guys!”
However, despite the sound of Beinsteln’s flagship, no one moved.
The atmosphere is about to get strange.
Beinsteln’s face showed more than just nervousness but also despair.
“Nirasha!”
There must be no further delay.
Now we must overcome this situation by any means necessary.
Otherwise, you will be the one killed for treason.
OK.
“There are many variables in this case. Well, I can’t do anything about it anymore.”
[The ‘Goddess of Destruction’ smiles.]
A terrible storm arose.
The magic power of the godhead began to manifest through Nirasha’s body.
At the same time.
“I’m sorry, but you are not the only one who can reach God.”
Jinhyuk also injected magical energy into the purple gem.
[‘Sky’s Designated Stone’ reacts.]
The upper part of the tower not visible from here.
From that far away.
Someone answered Jinhyeok’s call.
