Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

The moment Yurius cuts off the last of the masked men. There was a man who was hit not too far away.

Qajik!

The silly mask is completely shattered and the man is frantic with blood pouring out from the seven holes in his face.

“Rrrrgh!”

A splendidly decorated table crumbles with a thumping sound. This time, it was a huge hit because it sent ‘part of the body’ directly, not just a summon that connected the senses like the last time.

The fallen man had to struggle rolling the floor for a long time.

“ ……. ”

He's cramping up a bit. One of the underlings cautiously approaches.

“Archbishop... are you all right? ”

The man raised his hand silently and grabbed his servant's leg.

“You said it was Owner here, right? ”

Bloop!

“ ……!? ”

Without a sound, I quickly burned the stove to the ground. It didn't matter to a man. There were many people who could replace such an unknown underling.

In fact, the other servants who came into the room after hearing the man's scream saw the scene and were stiff with a pale expression.

“Phew……. ”

The man wakes up once to see if the pain stops and opens his mouth. The tone was filled with anger, unlike usual. Compared to what I just did, I feel like a completely different person.

“Send word to the others. I'll take care of the first one!" ”

“I'm sorry, but I thought you said the east was already the case." ”

One of the underlings cautiously speaks, but the man stirs his head firmly.

“You said it would take time to get there. We'll deal with it here first. ”

“I understand.”

Seeing them rushing out, the man sighs again, finally finding some slack.

“Eww... I told you, how do I catch it? ”

What he showed at Heavenguard was not his power. But the prince was unexpectedly light (?) has been repelled. Maybe there's more to the story?

But the damage he suffered was too great to move on. Four dolls that were hard to make were destroyed and many were lost.

Above all, Yurius has beaten him twice, and it is difficult to defeat him face-to-face.

‘If the doll is hard enough, we should at least root out this side of the pillar.... ’

The man who thought for a moment nods, expressionless. There wasn't much time left for him now.

“I need to pull out a new mask first. ”

He walks out of the room, expressionless.

* * *

As Yurius survived the heat, the castle was cleansed.

He was listening in on Victor and Haynes' report in the Knights' waiting room.

“The knights are a little hurt, but nothing's wrong. ”

“That's a relief. ”

First, Hynes gives Yurius a nod. In fact, when four masks appeared, he had no choice but to worry.

Fortunately, the enemy's power seemed to be just that much, using a technique that had not yet been perfected to quickly organize and support the knights.

He turns his head and looks at Victor this time.

“What about the damage to the castle? ”

“The area that was not completely blocked was slightly scorched by the fire. It just evolved.”

“Well done. Now can I repay the Grand Duke's debt? ”

“Not enough to repay you, but a great favor. Thank you on behalf of Heavenguard. ”

Victor leans back deeply to express his gratitude to Yurius. Even so, if he had not informed us of the immunity, more than half of Heaven Guard would have been burned in the morning.

Unlike a calm tone, he was agitating himself with little in mind.

‘I couldn't believe it when I first heard that I was fighting the Grand Duke one-on-one, but I guess I was wrong. I guess I'm too old to judge. ’

Yurius also laughs quietly inside.

Looks like you've moved on, huh? ’

Yurius recalls the situation a few days ago.

* * *

“Then the troop deployment is complete, so all you have to do is wait. ”

Yurius rises from his position as he sets an ambush at the Holy See.

“It may be nothing compared to an imperial palace, but I'll give you a place to rest. ”

“That's enough. I have a favor to ask. ”

Urius stops the hurrying Victor.

“What can I do for you? ”

“Is there a quiet and spacious training ground in this castle? I have to test what I got this time. ”

“ ……!? ”

Victor was taken aback. He knew to what extent the Grand Duke was studying, as he was a henchman among the henchmen. But what does Urius mean when he comes out of the locker room and tries it?

‘No... but what if the Grand Duke's defeat is true? ’

He takes a step back to the resistance as he confronts the anti-Semitic. Urius was guided to the void inside the fortress.

On one side of the clearing was a small river that was used to supply water throughout the castle, and a flat, well-groomed floor proved to be well maintained.

“This is a training ground exclusively for the Grand Duke. You don't have any owners anymore, so feel free to use them as you please. ”

‘There is no owner.’ I had to worry about the person who got rid of the owner.

‘This old man is secretly stubborn. You still don't trust the man who killed your master, do you? ’

Yurius smiles and replies.

“Good trainer. The person who manages it must have suffered a lot. ”

“It's natural for me to be in charge of the castle. ”

So, horses with bones passed by. In fact, Yurius is secretly pressuring him to keep coming under his feet.

In fact, even though the main force was almost extinct, there were significant numbers left, including the Imperial Cadets and novitiates.

His intention means that he can return to the imperial palace without malice from the Grand Duke.

‘There's no reason not to get enough power. ’

In fact, if the Grand Duke had a close relationship with the Cult, he would have thought differently, but surprisingly, he was a much cleaner figure than Yurius had initially thought, except for his contact with the black market.

But Victor didn't waste his years. I was avoiding the answer with such a subtle answer. Once you go straight to the man who killed your master, there will be no excuse as a knight.

“I have something to think about quietly for a moment. Would you excuse me?" ”

“I understand.”

After confirming that Victor's position is no further, Yurius heads for the center of the void.

First, we had to test how much we could use what we learned by 'acquiring'. He draws his sword slowly.

Shhhhh!

Slowly ascending into the air, you swing downward at a frightening speed.

The aim of Yurius' sword was a small river flowing on one side of the clearing. Although it was a small tributary, less than a few meters long, there would be consequences if he learned the harshness well.

Shhh!

The river cracks slightly and I start to see the floor. But that was less than a second ago. I want to see if the attack is progressing gradually as it cuts through the river. Then I lose my strength.

"You can replicate it, right? ’

Generally, when you try to cut a river with your sword, you just bounce water off the surface.

Even though it was a small river, it seemed that it was possible to practice beer itself once you learned it, even if the river was clean for a moment.

“Khh……. ”

But Yurius looked strange. He staggers and sits still. Just once! It was also a demonstration of incomplete skills, but my whole body was exhausted.

[Failure, 1 point.]

Before he could even decide, the Sword of Hwang Yong decided to fail like a sword.

"As expected, what you learn is not completely mine without realizing it." Is it because I'm not an official player? Or is it supposed to be enlightenment? ’

Skills learned through learning are usually automatically remembered in your mind for use. However, not only did it not divide the river completely because of the lack of skill in this case, but it also consumed the force and physical strength to the point of instantaneous exhaustion.

Yurius is lost in thought.

‘We should never use it in practice until we improve our skill level. ’

[Dagger Skill: 1%.]

It is meaningless to use power once in an incomplete biggie and then stretch it out. However, I wanted to have another number of spleens, if possible, as I could not fathom the strength of the attack.

“Is there anything we can do? ”

[…….]

Even though I thought about it for a few hours, I couldn't find the answer, so I asked the Sword of Huanglongbing, but I also liked the sword, but it was too expensive.

Woof.

However, the fortress has become more likely to give a plausible hint, considering the extent of his admission. The sword moves freely and points to one side of his chest.

You mean the Grand Duke's season? ’

Yurius takes the book out of his arms with a curious look. There was nothing real. It's just a journal of the Grand Duke's agony. Why did he ask me to read it again?

[Recently concluded. No matter how fast and strong the blow is, you cannot go to the mountains or the sea. Focusing on power, I may have made a mistake from the beginning.]

This was the end of the Grand Duke's ordeal of Phase 2 training. Does that mean there's a clue here?

[Not a result.]

The Sword of Hwang Yong helped me say a word here. Yurius considers the bear.

"Is it a process if not a result?" ’

He also judged that he was neither strong nor fast. Then what the hell splits the lake?

The process was to swing the sword and the result was that the water was split. And the speed or power to wield the sword is not something to consider in Phase 2.

“But of course, it takes strength and speed to cut through something. ”

Woof.

This time, the Sword of Huanglongbing starts to vibrate more loudly, as if it were stuffy.

[But, Motherfucker, no words, no cuts.]

‘Then... ’

Thinking about it, the meaning of the word was also strange. When you cut something, it's usually written as a cut, not a disconnect. The meaning of the two words was quite different.

[Me, a knife, or not.]

What are you talking about? ’

If he had reached his limit, he could actually cut the scrambled iron or stone with a knife. Even if it's not a knife, it won't make a difference if you pick up a common sword or a sword like Huanglongbing.

“It's a cutting tool for something black anyway, but what does it matter if it's a knife or a sword... huh? ”

Yurius suddenly slaps his knee thinking about it.

“Ah!”

He raises his sword again. After a long time, the body has recovered considerably.

He realized two things this time. The first is the difference between a process and a result!

‘It is not splitting the water. Dividing is always the result! ’

Glug.

His sword swings very slowly from top to bottom, as if a turtle were crawling.

[Greatly increases Skill.]

[Cutting Sword Skill: 10%]

Shhh.

His predictions were right.

“I knew it!"

His sword is only a few metres of shallow river, but it clearly split the water. The river floor was clearly visible through the cracks for a few seconds.

Yurius saw what he had done, but had no choice but to stick his tongue out.

'It was more terrifying than I thought. A sword that cuts through objects by blocking space! ’

The meaning of disconnection, as he thought, literally meant separating the spaces. Separating mountains or oceans is simply a natural cut due to the cracked space.

The second hint given by the Sword Huanglongbing is that the cutting sword in the first place is a ‘common' cut. 'There is a big difference from the meaning. Doesn't it make a big difference physically if you use meat with a cutter or a cutter as your last sword?

That is why it is called a disconnect, not a cut.

And what Urius realized in time was the technology he showed at the end of the battle with the Grand Duke.

He was barely injured in the center of the explosion when the battle broke out because the Grand Duke's sword blocked his surroundings from the effects of the explosion.

“Ugh... ”

The joy of Biggie was also that Yurius had to sit down again for a while. It was better than before, but it was never a technique to be outnumbered.

‘I think I've only used it twice in a row. ’

But those two daggers played a decisive role in the battle.

He managed to withstand the fire storm that covered his surroundings for the first time, and he was able to take down the regenerative one with a surprise attack.

"Even if you try to regenerate, you have to stick together!" ’

In a blocked space, it was impossible to touch each other for a while, so he fell without a hitch.

‘If I could handle this sword perfectly, I would have no problem in any crisis. ’

There were many adversities, but Yurius was able to take it to another level.

* * *

After recalling it first, Yurius speaks.

“Then isn't it time to make your decision? There's something you want to tell me. ”

He asked me playfully this time. After realizing his intentions, Victor seems to think for a moment.

“I know all the rendezvous points for the Black Market… but if they had any ideas, they wouldn't have left any behind. ”

“Just letting you know is enough. And the second? ”

Yurius urges an answer. Victor was in conflict quite a bit. As he ponders, he finally opens his mouth.

“Actually, can you do me a favor? ”

“Hmm?"

Yurius sensed that this would be a critical request to join Gladius.

“Tell me anything. Avama will judge, but I can hear your craziness. ”

“Then……. ”

* * *

A few moments later, Yurius smiles and tells the Knights to hurry and get ready to leave the castle.

“Are you leaving already? You must not be relieved of your battle fatigue yet. ”

“Unfortunately, there's much work to be done in the capital. I'd like to enjoy a little more victory, but I think we should leave now. ”

“Then I won't be able to stop it. ”

“I'll be sure to speak to Avama about your request. We'll send word as soon as we get to the capital, then we can come up. ”

Victor bows back deeply.

“I'm so sorry. ”

Yurius waves to him, leaving the Knights and Heavenguard. Once we got to the capital, there was more to do than just ask Victor.

First of all, it wasn't finished yet.

‘The first battle was my victory. But the second round won't be any consolation! ’

His enemy was the black market. Even if I eliminated the Archbishop, I didn't get any quest messages.

The last time we eliminated a man named Ismail, he was probably still alive.

There was only one thought in Yurius' head as he ran the horse. Finding their home!

‘When we get back to the capital, we better be ready to grab their tails. ’
