Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

# Negotiate or threaten

Kuaang!

As soon as Yurius' miraculously wielded invisible sword hit the old man, a noise erupted and the room became a barren field in the aftermath.

‘It was an attack, but I couldn't feel the cut. ’

He frowns and quickly starts to pull back. The user is wearing a mask, so the opposing Pokémon has to leave without noticing his face.

As soon as Yurius assumed, the old man's twisted hand narrows the streets at a terrifying speed. Yurius quickly picks up his sword and stops it. No, I thought I stopped it.

Puss

“ ……!? ”

Surprisingly, the force on his sword disappears in an instant. I quickly turned around and avoided, so I almost hit my heart with an authentic punch.

If you are an unmanned person the size of Yurius, you can instantly aggregate the force and defend the desired area, ignoring it lightly and looking at the crumbling of the corners of your clothing, you can see that it is a barrier to the force and it will definitely degrade everything.

‘You old monster. ’

Yurius gave it a try and decided there was no point in arguing anymore. Fortunately, the old man was the only one who could sense him, and the speed itself was not faster than himself.

Qajik!

Yurius hurriedly breaks down the temple's door and starts walking away without looking back.

“ ……!? ”

As Yurius suddenly emerged from the void, the agents of the previous month, who were waiting, gave a vague look in their masks.

“Get out of here as soon as you can. ”

“ ……. ”

Fortunately, the old man did not leave the temple, and Yurius was able to escape safely.

* * *

“I told you not to be so careless. You let me down again. ”

Ishmael scouted Jamir with a twinkling look in his eyes. As soon as he received that cold look, he quickly fell down and asked for forgiveness.

“I'm sorry.”

“Who is this intruder? ”

“From the look of the dress, it seems to be related to the east. It turns out there are some Eastern people among the first princes, too. ”

“East?”

Ismail's eyes changed strangely. In fact, the east was also a region deeply touched by the Church.

The East has a better average of unmanned people than this continent. Then the identity of the intruder is also explained. Zamir wasn't playing either.

‘I thought Karim was the only one who was holding me back, but I think someone else got in. ’

“Hard to rule out the possibility of Karim working with the enemies of the East. Or, surprisingly, the first pope. ”

Jamir's words make Ishmael look grumpy.

“They were both your original targets, weren't they? We'll take care of it together and then we'll be on our way. ”

He had absolute confidence in his power. But Zamir's thoughts seemed a little different.

“I'm sorry, Master. I'm afraid you'll have to wait. If you do this yourself, it won't be hard to take the life of the Crown Prince, but for the future leaders. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Ismail seems to think for a moment, rolling his gray-white eyes around.

“Do it. Parthia was your jurisdiction. Tell me if you have a specific plan. ”

In fact, if there was an unarmed man who could escape the archbishop of the Church, it was not only his fault that Jamir was trampled behind him.

‘Phew! Looks like we'll get another chance. ’

Zamir relieves himself and starts talking about his plan with a smile again.

“This time, we'll be able to put Calera, followed by the Parthia, completely under the control of the Church. ”

* * *

On the other hand, Yurius is truly a mess.

‘It took a really shitty time. ’

The concern was due to an old man, Ismail, who is presumed to be the leader of the Cult this time.

‘I never thought I'd have one with only the most annoying abilities. ’

Technically, the skill of the old man, Ismail, was no different from that of Yurius. Rather, he seemed to have the advantage of being calibrated by the player.

‘But it's so bad. ’

Once he had his eyes pierced his rebuke, half of his advantages disappeared, but there was also the annoying nature of his "hand of decline."

His greatest advantage is the incoming attack from an undetectable square, which lacks the ability to detect his attack, so the attack on this side can be lightly prevented and vice versa.

‘I would have been easier to deal with if I was a different type of superhuman. ’

For example, if Nuada had sensitive senses, he would be able to fight by giving flesh and taking bone, and if he was a top superhero like Duke Dios, he would have been able to deal with it without being struck by a sword.

‘But I'm not. ’

Of course, if several join forces, we'll be able to deal with them somehow, but this will cause too much damage for our allies. Yurius wanted to avoid that.

‘Maybe we should change the plan a little bit. ’

Yurius originally thought he had drawn enough power, but he had no choice but to revise the plan due to an unexpected setback.

“Call Wallace. ”

Wallace immediately opened his mouth as if he thought the reason for calling him was because of the alliance.

“Didn't I tell you? Karim will never make alliances. ”

“As I said before, there will be no harm to the Grand Chamberlain for this mission. Or is it that you don't trust my words? ”

“ ……. ”

Wallace had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. Then Yurius smiled and told me the true purpose of calling him.

“The baron will have connections, so I need you to make room for him." ”

“It's not that difficult... ”

And put your ear to it. There's something the Marquis needs to do for us.

“ ……!? ”

Wallace was stunned to hear Yurius whisper.

“Are you trying to assassinate him face-to-face? ”

“Huh! Don't you think I'm such a klutz? ”

‘You know, you're capable of far worse things than that! ’

Wallace had all his arrogance in him, but he had to move quickly.

As Yurius looked at it, he was having second thoughts. In fact, it was not an incident like this, but I had something to ask Karim once.

‘If I'm right, a secret of my past life in the South could be solved. ’

* * *

Karim, on the other hand, became cautious when Yurius and Wallace faced each other.

The man who ordered the assassination wants to confront the assassin? There's nothing suspicious about that. ’

But this palace was his front yard. Karim was confident that no matter what happened, he would be able to cope with it.

“Take them to a similar room. ”

Karim's heart flinches. It is the place Karim likes to talk about when he removes his statics.

“I'll be ready for you. ”

Similar was literally a swamp of sand. Once you're down there, the giddy one gets sucked in and never comes out again.

The intention of calling people to a place named like this will not necessarily be explained.

“Are you sure everything's okay? Karim Guy is a decisive man. I know Prince Jamir was the only one who saved his life. You're an unmanned man, so you can protect yourself, but this old man... ”

“Keep listening to that and I'll get a ticket in my ear! Should I put my name on it? ”

As Wallace continues to brawl in his ears, Yurius is escorted to a locked room within the palace. He and Wallace only had at least two escorts with him.

“Nice room. It's glamorous, but it's somewhere else. ”

“Thank you for saying that, but let's start with the business. I told you I'd say no. What did you call me? ”

Even in Yurius' compliments, Karim always responded in a cold tone.

“I heard that you are cautious, but you judge too hastily. Isn't hearing my terms the basis of the deal? ”

‘Your tongue seems to be rolling and capable, but you look just like Jamir. ’

Karim snores. He has done a lot of research on Yurius. I can't be careless, but how big can a prince be if he has a big condition to uphold?

“Wallace, bring it to me. ”

“Ah... I see. ”

Wallace stares at Karim and Yurius, alternating with his anxious eyes, and pulls out a few documents from his chest. Urius smiles as he brings it out.

“These are the terms of our deal. ”

“ ……!? ”

After reviewing the documents, Karim was not embarrassed. It's because Yurius has been predicting things like this since he brought Wallace in.

“If you think you can threaten me with something like this, you're wrong. ”

‘I thought you'd be a little angry, but you're calmer than I thought. ’

Rather, it was a slight admiration for Yurius. The paperwork was a detailed report detailing the key personnel and history of Karim's alliance with Wallace.

Is he confident that keeping his cool like that will keep their mouths shut?

But Yurius provoked Karim instead.

“Who do you think I should tell about this? For example, I would like your younger brother, Zamir……. ”

Karim worked coldly without even listening to the words.

“It's hard for you to survive here! ”

Hiccup!

The bottom of the chamber, where Yurius is standing, suddenly collapses.

“Hmm?"

Under the ground that collapsed was all rough sand. In a flash, they sink down into the sand to their waist.

Grrr.

At the same time, dozens of sharp blades surge across the wall. As the device on the wall rotates, Karim's hidden warriors surround them.

You see, I told you that Karim was dangerous! ’

Wallace quietly protested to Karim, trembling like a thorn bush. I didn't know he was going to threaten Yurius like this.

“Do you have any idea what you're doing? ”

“Of course I do. ”

Karim's expression did not change much, but in fact, all of these actions had a clear intention.

‘If Zamir or the Empire were to threaten me like this, my information would already be in either ear. ’

At first glance, it seemed reckless to trap the prince Yurius, but he must have sent his army into the empire.

‘I'd rather keep a hostage here if I'm gonna hide it or reveal it. ’

I've heard that the emperor of the current empire is quite fond of Yurius, the First. If I were to hold him hostage, I would have negotiated. I would not send an army straight into the desert to start a war.

Even if the Crown Prince has teamed up with Zamir and threatened him! Zamir should be removed from his position anyway. Is there a reason to let the enemy assist you?

This was a secret crisis, but Karim's response was quick and accurate.

Knights dressed in armor are slowed down in an environment so deep down into the sand. On the other hand, the elite warriors he had dispatched were very familiar with the battle above.

In Karim's mind, two guardians and one prince could never escape this situation.

“You won't get hurt if you don't resist. ”

However, this time the opponent was only bad.

“I'll give you that back. ”

“ ……!? ”

Immediately, the two escorts behind Yurius rush into the sand.

In fact, this kind of sand is not a hindrance at all to a certain level of knight. Of course, both of the men Yurius brought were still those who met the criteria.

A twin beam of light strikes desert warriors. The first is the sword! Beatrice.

“Cough!”

Screams and blood echo through the path of her blade.

None of the others were satisfied. The second one was a shotgun. He holds up a short spear instead. The spear pierces through it lightly, regardless of whether it's made of metal or hard leather.

‘Oh my god…. ’

Karim's cold expression of looking at the surroundings had been broken for a long time.

After a while, the sound didn't leak out because the room was well protected, but the situation inside was miserable.

“Ugh... ”

Dozens of warriors rumble on the ground, moaning, with no exception.

“Don't be so mad I didn't kill you. ”

Karim tries to shoot Yurius with an unbelievable look. His warrior belonged to the elite who recognized him in the desert.

However, they were overwhelmed by only two people for less than ten minutes.

“What the hell do you want from me? ”

‘So listen carefully when you talk. But now it was a situation that required a demonstration of force. ’

Yurius opens his mouth, grumbling slightly inside.

“Now you're thinking of listening to me properly. ”

“Is this a negotiation or a threat? ”

As Karim, it's not so absurd. He came up with his political weakness from the start, taunted, knocked all of his warriors out, and now he says we should negotiate.

However, his expectations and answers were different again. Yurius smiled and replied.

“Both. ”
