Episode 360: Chicken game (8)
In the middle of the capital.
It turned upside down.
Seeing the soldiers in confusion, the guard captain shouted.
“Everyone, don’t panic! Dark clouds only temporarily color the surroundings with darkness, and have no further killing power. Don’t break ranks. If you keep a certain distance from each other and be alert to your surroundings, the imperial wizards will quickly remove the darkness that colors Marin.”
It was the right decision.
but.
There was a problem.
Roman Dmitry used Dark Cloud and Blackout at the same time.
For Marine’s wizards, resolving the blackout was a priority, and inside Marine, Haomoon’s spies installed magic devices that amplified the effects of the Dark Cloud throughout the capital.
Even if Marine’s magic power is great, at least 30 minutes are needed to resolve the situation.
That time, which can be said to be short, now has a completely different meaning.
sudden.
“Kaaak!”
In the dark.
A scream was heard.
I had clearly seen my companion right in front of me just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, I was sucked into the darkness with a deathly scream.
In an instant, goosebumps appeared all over my body.
The soldier raised his weapon with a pale face, but the dark surroundings only showed the vague shapes of his comrades.
It was then.
Flash.
My head flew off.
Due to the sudden presence of a being, the soldier collapsed without even being able to scream.
The deaths were serial.
When a comrade is found dying nearby, it doesn’t take long for the angel of death to take the life of the witness.
At first, the guard captain’s cry clearly worked.
Marine’s soldiers tried to fight the darkness as calmly as possible, but at some point they noticed something strange about their rapidly decreasing numbers.
Mulkyung.
“… … Ugh, ugh!”
footing.
The body was stepped on.
It was hard to see because of the darkness, but there were already dozens of corpses piled up on the floor.
I fell into confusion.
The soldiers screamed.
From then on, it was not controlled, and the ranks were completely disorganized due to the struggling soldiers.
“Oh, no! Everyone stay in line! “If we fall into chaos, it will only happen as Roman Dmitry wishes!”
The guard captain shouted.
but.
It didn’t work.
The effect of the dark cloud not only blocked vision, but also prevented voices from being transmitted properly.
Still, the soldiers around the guard commander tried to understand the voice and react, but the soldiers outside of it could not maintain their sanity just by turning to each other’s backs.
The ranks collapsed in an instant.
It was clearly not so dark that they could not see an inch in front of them, but that alone was enough to make the soldiers unable to handle the reality in front of them.
how.
I didn’t understand.
How can Roman Dmitry be free even in this darkness?
Dark Cloud’s penalty applies to everyone, but there seemed to be no restrictions on the demons running rampant in the dark.
suddenly.
The guard captain remembered a rumor.
‘I heard that during the war against Hector, Roman Dmitri unilaterally slaughtered Hector’s soldiers in the dark mountains. At that time, people admired Roman Dmitry’s incredible military power, while laughing at Hector’s kingdom, saying that it happened because of its weakness. But that wasn’t it. Even I, an aura swordsman, can’t locate the ghost-like movement that stalks the darkness.’
Wow.
I grabbed the sword.
Everything was beyond common sense.
The thing that came to visit Marin.
Carrying out this ridiculous plan alone.
At a time when even the guard captain was in mental crisis, a voice was heard that gave hope to the soldiers of Valhalla.
“Moonlight.”
Imperial wizards.
Their magic began to illuminate the darkness.
* * *
Dark Cloud.
Disarming it took some time, but using magic to lighten the darkness was a different matter.
Moonlight.
The darkness was pushed aside.
Although it wasn’t a perfect solution, I started to see the surroundings to some extent, like a bright moon rising.
“… … Ugh.”
“Are these all corpses?”
People widened their eyes.

Surrounding scenery.
It was truly miserable.
Apparently, only 3 to 4 minutes had passed at most, but Marine soldiers were spread out in miserable faces as far as the eye could see.
It was difficult to even determine how many people had died.
There seemed to be hundreds of visible beings, and Roman Dmitry was nowhere to be seen.
“Roman Dmitry! Reveal yourself! “If you are a true swordsman, come forward and receive my sword!”
Royal Knight.
one of them shouted.
Even though he knew that no one would respond to such words, he had no choice but to shout like this.
however.
“When I was walking in the dark, people always made similar mistakes. “The illusion that there is a chance of victory outside the darkness.”
“Over there!”
“Attack!”
Roman Dmitry.
He appeared.
He had a strange appearance, as if darkness was swirling around him, and the soldiers, including the Royal Knight, rushed in, thinking that now was their chance.
Roman Dmitry was the only one involved in this operation.
The operation that took place in the dark only hindered Roman Dmitry, even Ares, who had defeated the number one player in Valhalla.
I laughed.
Looking at the charging enemies, Roman Dmitry raised his mana.
“Why don’t you know that darkness is just a small element that makes things easier?”
Wow.
Blood splattered.
After smashing the head of the Royal Knight who was charging at the front in one go, Roman Dmitry dug into the opponent’s camp, scattering blood.
It was an instant for people who had shown great momentum to collapse.
Roman Dmitri stalked through the enemy lines, slaughtering those who encountered him one by one.
massacre.
It was one-sided.
The ceaseless movement was accompanied by terrible screams and death.
Royal Knight?
Tens of thousands of soldiers?
It was meaningless.
When Roman Dmitry lived as a ghost, he overcame many even worse crises of death.
The feeling at that time was overflowing. When massacres took place in the dark, the martial people trembled at Gwiyoung’s reputation.
“die!”
Crumbling.
Guard captain.
He rushed at me like a cat.
A 4-star aura swordsman.
If he had been born in a weak country, he would have occupied a significant position, but he showed strong murderous intent towards Roman Dmitry.
It was perfect timing, he thought.
As the Royal Knights and soldiers rushed at the same time, Roman Dmitry saw an opening for a moment and believed that he could deliver a good blow at the cost of the lives of his allies.
and.
Beetle.
The world was shaken.
Before he knew it, he had his head on the ground, not even realizing what had happened to him.
Blood flowed.
Above the line of sight.
I saw Roman Dmitry.
“There is no sin in you. The only problem is that the master you serve is hostile to me.”
That is.
Kwasik.
It was the last thing the guard captain remembers from his life.
* * *
Valhalla Imperial Palace.
The people gathered there were anxious.
Upon hearing the report that Roman Dmitry was carrying out a massacre, one of the leaders muttered in a low voice.
“… … “Aren’t we all going to die like this?”
“Where are you talking?”
“The opponent is Roman Dmitry. Even Ares, who was taught by him, defeated Cesar, the number one ranked player in Valhalla, so who can stop him in Valhalla? The problem was bringing him to the castle in the first place. “If the opponent was Roman Dmitry, it was something you should not have thought about based on common sense.”
Despite Marquis Belfir’s scolding.
The leadership could not hide their anxiety.
Just now.
When the imperial knight announced Roman Dmitry’s visit, he was allowed to enter Valhalla under the Emperor’s instructions.
In fact, the leadership’s statement was to criticize the Emperor of Valhalla, but he was so frightened that he was unable to make a rational decision at the moment.
Normally, the Emperor of Valhalla would have ordered the death penalty.
Marquis Belfir, who knew this, looked at the Emperor of Valhalla’s notice, but strangely, the Emperor of Valhalla did not seem to care much.
“Pathetic things.”
The Valhalla Emperor laughed.
I leaned back in the chair and crossed my legs.
“Roman Dmitry has always shown actions that go beyond common sense. And in the war against Kronos, he single-handedly charged into an army of 300,000 men and cut off the head of the 8th Circle wizard. From then on, he thought this moment might come. Is Dmitry still just a small country? “When an individual possesses such power, even the emperor of an empire cannot be free from the possibility of assassination.”
assassination.
It was a very simple way to end the war.
Especially if it is a strong person like Roman Dmitry.
By directly dealing with the Emperor of Valhalla, you can immediately turn the civil war in Valhalla into a rebel atmosphere.
It was expected.
The King’s Way.
I walked on a thorny path.
The Valhalla Emperor was not so complacent that he could not even consider such a possibility.
“Since Roman Dmitry entered Marin. He will definitely appear here.”
He declared.
The leaders were anxious.
If Roman Dmitry really appeared, their lives could not be guaranteed.
It was then.
Squeak.
The door opened.
The place that was obviously guarded by the imperial knights opened, and a man with a bloody face entered inside.
“You know, but you don’t run away. Are you confident that you will survive?”
He’s right.
It was Roman Dmitry.
* * *
Dark Cloud.
It was a fake.
After the confusion caused by darkness, Roman Dmitry headed straight to the imperial palace.
Finally.
I faced the Emperor of Valhalla.
Contrary to his thin and weak appearance, he did not look scared like other nobles.
Roman Dmitry said.
“I had the same thought as you. From the moment the greatest swordsman in Valhalla was defeated by Ares, no, even before that. “There was a question as to whether the empire would be able to stop it if I went there myself and attempted to assassinate him.”
This operation.
It was a kind of experiment.
Before dealing with Kronos, he wanted to gauge the empire’s strength against Valhalla.
“If you can’t show me the answer to my question. The Emperor of Valhalla will die here today.”
Justification for assassination.
It was granted by the atrocities of the Emperor Valhalla.
Even if he suddenly loses his head, the people of Valhalla will not blame Roman Dmitry.
walked forward.
The road has been opened.
The nobles looked frightened and did not dare to stop Roman Dmitry.
It was then.
chuck.
Quickly.
Behind the Emperor Valhalla.
The prosecutors who had been standing with indifferent faces stepped forward.
They had something different from other ordinary prosecutors.
The moment Roman Dmitry entered range, their presence blurred and appeared right in front of them.
Kwarung.
Crumbling.
It was fast.
Roman Dmitry blocked their attacks and cut down the opponent at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Flash.
Blood splattered.
An attack that completely tears open the chest.
Just when you thought you had easily taken care of one of the dozen, the emperor’s swordsman swung his sword at Roman Dmitri with his heart torn out.
It was an attack that could not have been predicted by common sense.
Roman Dmitry reacted quickly and blocked, but the sight of the swordsman firing off attacks in succession was quite bizarre.
“Those guys are immortal swordsmen. “It is something that cannot be killed by any attack.”
The Valhalla Emperor grinned.
As he said.
The immortal swordsmen did not die.
The tattered skin on his chest suddenly became tangled again, and he pushed Roman Dmitri back in his normal state.
and.
“curse.”
“Curs.”
Passsss-
Suddenly.
Imperial wizards appeared around them.
They suddenly appeared in a sandstorm, looked grimly in the darkness of their robes, and used a curse towards Roman Dmitri.
The energy of the curse caught Roman Dmitry’s ankle.
Rather than using clearly visible power, he attempted to hinder Roman Dmitri with magic that lowered his physical abilities.
It was fun.
surely.
The power of the empire was not everything it seemed.
Actually, it was natural.
If rankings determine a country’s national power, there would be no reason for any country to reveal its power through rankings.
Because it exposes power.
In other words, Cesar may be the best swordsman in Valhalla in the sun, but Valhalla was not called an empire because of Cesar alone.
Immortal swordsman.
Imperial wizards.
It was part of special forces.
but.
That was it.
Just because he didn’t die didn’t mean he could stop Roman Dmitri.
Pot-
The curse has been lifted.
It destroyed the power of magic and rushed towards the Emperor of Valhalla, cutting down the immortal swordsmen who stood in its way.
That you don’t die.
It didn’t solve all the problems.
Immortal swordsmen also showed a gap when they received fatal wounds, and in that amount of time, there was no problem in closing the distance to the Emperor of Valhalla.
It was a shocking sight.
Even with his arms cut off, his chest torn, and the immortal swordsmen who lost their legs clinging to him tenaciously, Roman Dmitry still managed to reach the face of the Emperor of Valhalla.
Moment.
Passsss.
The figure of the Valhalla Emperor dispersed.
Just as the imperial wizards appeared, he, who had been scattered by the sandstorm, reorganized himself and appeared on the wall of the conference room.
“Roman Dmitry. “It was a pleasant enough time.”
Sarr.
he.
He disappeared behind the wall.
As he disappeared, as if absorbed into the wall, the immortal swordsman and imperial wizard were also scattered by the sandstorm.
It was as expected.
This operation.
I didn’t think the assassination would be successful.
It was intended to check the power of the empire, but it was only incidental and had a separate real purpose.
The situation has been resolved.
“Hiccup.”
Right next to you.
I heard someone hiccuping.
The hiccup hurriedly covered his mouth, but his wide-open eyes met Roman Dmitry’s.
He was one of the leaders.
And next to it.
“… … .”
The pale-faced Marquis Belfir was looking at Roman Dmitri.
