In the previous chapter, Robert's speech is inspired by Gandalf's speech when the orcs breached the gate of Gondor in the Lord of the Rings of Tolkien.
The mana around him fluctuates more wildly and the air moves in a circular motion around him. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.While everything in his surrounding is being distorted, suddenly a strand of mana flowed from him up to the sky.The amount of mana that is being released is so dense!Those with massive mana reserves are highly respected by magicians, no matter if it is a fellow magician or knight.And Lester has colossal mana reserved, thanks to the blood flowing through his veinsIt continues for five seconds more, ten seconds more, and fifteen seconds more.It goes on and on until Lester’s knees tremble because of his mana. That is the only time he stops spending his mana.His vision becomes blurry, and his hands and knees are trembling at the same time while he gazes above the destroyed house where the emperor collided.Below, the destroyed house is being shaded by something big above. It is not very peculiar because the sky above the destroyed house, a hug
What in the world is happening?!Lester’s minds become confused while his heart is having mixed emotion.Glad because he was saved at the last second.Fear and regret, because the painless death he is waiting for will be replaced by painful death. By being devoured by this wolf demon beast!He can still remember and it is still vivid in his memory how this wolf demon beast toyed with him, by dragging his wounded body around the mansion.Thanks to his colossal mana reserved, he was able to secure his escape.He stares at the wolf demon beast momentarily. The beast is emitting a murderous aura. Its ears are erect and its fur bristles. Its lips also curl up and he clearly sees its incisors displayed while producing a low snarl while looking in the emperor's direction.And then he heard a whistle coming from a different direction. Suddenly, the demon wolf beast’s deadly stares relax, its fur returned to normal, and the scary incisors were replaced by the hanging tongue as a normal dog usu
Jin concluded because of their lack of strategy, they use mana and magic as replacements for their lacking. As a result, their swordsmanship is dull. Alistar for example is far better at using his weapon but as you observe, it is just full brute strength and speed, combined with his animalistic instinct.After not giving his response to Sigurd, the latter only smiles but continues.“Well, you have my thanks anyway. It is just a shame another human with the potential to lead a nation will die today.”Jin furrowed his brows and became more confused as his brain start processing what he just heard. Is he referring to Lord Seth?Is some part of his mind still salvageable? Or was it just on whims?Whatever it is, Jin knows what he must do.Strong people only need to cross their weapons to understand each other.Jin starts to move and lunges his swords at Sigurd.Sigurd parries his attack using his sword but Jin is quick. He strike him again, this time the sword was imbued with powerful man
“No matter what we do will not bring any more results. Because right now, the peak of two forces now besting each other. And whoever tramples the other one will be victorious in this war. Just watch the fight between the two individuals who held great power.”His voice is calm with a hint of nervousness. Calm because he trusted his emperor, nervous because if the worst-case scenario was that the emperor lose, then the empire will pay the price for what they had just done until now. Even if they rally the forces of the remaining imperial army in the capital to resist the repercussion of what they did, they will definitely lose because. Who can contest the individual who defeats their emperor? In addition, they are already on the blacklist of the adventurer guild. There is no way they will be scot-free.“T-then, if our emperor loses, it means we lose as well?”“Yes.”The faces of the knights and magicians become wearier. Earlier, they felt happy because they thought they can win easily
If you were asked a question of what are you going to do if a sinful person asked for forgiveness and is willing to die to be forgiven. What will be your answer?Jin who struggles so hard to fight Sigurd contemplates his decision. Is it wise?He sighed and proceeded to his plan. Let the future me take responsibility for it, damn it!Sigurd raised and use what remains of his mana reserved and imbued to his sword. He is a warrior, a knight in his heart and mind. So his strongest attack likes in his sword. So even if he is proficient in magic, his strongest attack is in his sword.The surrounding mana distorted terribly!As his mana starts converging on his swords, it started to shine brightly indicating that massive mana has been imbued on it.The aura and the atmosphere around him intensify.Jin on the other hand stood still on his ground. He didn’t even do any preparations for the upcoming last attack.Usually like thins, he can strike his enemy while doing his preparations to avoid a
Sigurd gasping for air to stay awake a little longer heard a snapping of fingers.In his blurry vision. Sigurd was able to hear him faintly.“Death is not the end, be glad that you will get a new beginning…” That’s the last thing he heard but before blackness devour his vision, he saw his mouth continue to move and say something. Unfortunately, his vision darkened completely.Sigurd’s head drooped.And at last, after almost a month, the war ended when the Emperor of the Ruel Empire was declared dead. No one can refute that because they saw with their eyes that the emperor’s body exploded when a spurt of blood gushed out from the rock which constricted his movement.When the remaining government officials in the Ruel Empire heard this, they will laugh only laugh it out. I mean, the conquest was planned for years and only ended in a month? What kind of nonsense is that?When Jin saw the emperor’s head droop. He cancels his aura and so the weather return to normal.The city grew silent.
Morning came. The streets are busy with people, knights, magicians, adventurers, and mercenaries trying to rebuild the city.Mayor Lester who didn’t want to bother the mercenaries and adventurers insisted on helping to rebuild the city again. In the end, he was persuaded.Children can be seen again playing on the sidewalks and every corner of the streets.The imperial army that was taken as prisoners are held in the emergency shelter and dressed up in normal clothes. Their weapons and armor were confiscated. They were shackled as well by a special chain called an anti-magic chain. These chains were developed originally by the elves with the support of every nation around the world.While almost everybody is busy in rebuilding the city, Jin and others are busy discussing important matters inside the Mayor’s Mansion about the Ruel Empire.“Jin, what do you think is the best way to approach the Ruel Empire?”Mayor Lester asked Jin which made everybody’s gazes turn to him.“I’ve done my p
Sigurd is usually composed and didn’t lose his cool except when he was a child. But as of the moment, he is sweating profusely and with a worried expression visible on his face while waiting for Jin inside the chamber.If his retainer saw him, they might slap each other to see if this is a dream.Sigurd didn’t have to wait any longer as the door opened and he was greeted by a young man with a stoic expression on his face.Lord Seth is behind him and obviously his head is slanted a little. Sigurd who knows Lord Seth well more than anybody understood his simple action. It is showing that Jin is superior to him.Sigurd quickly stood up like a boy who is worried about getting an earful from his parents.Jin obviously understands the situation and ignores it. He cannot be bothered by little things. But it is also troublesome if Sigurd keeps acting this way. It is still better to have a conversation on equal footing. So Jin didn’t waste any second and started the conversation.“Please, don’
