Hero without Blood or Tear

* * *

“Welcome. ”

When the emperor arrived in Grosse Glokner, Schwarzetoifel greeted him with a grudge. That's what these two are supposed to be. But so far we've held hands several times for each other's benefit.

“It's been a while.”

The emperor nods, familiar with Schwarzetoifel's attitude, and starts walking side-by-side.

Poach.

The footsteps of the two elderly men continued long over the snow covered by a high peak.

“Is that Morse Thorline? ”

“Yes, that's your problem. ”

The emperor looks down at the undead city on the hillside. The city was empty. The majority of the residents left to fight the Second Demon King Holy Ghost under the command of Pezamut.

The Holy Spirit's army was a massive faction of Demon Kings gathered around him. Pezamut scraped almost all of Morse Sola's available power to deal with the great army.

The battle in the former office of the emperor was fierce enough that a substantial number of Draco Rich Cuban and 12-rich troops were dispatched.

“How did you allow such a monstrosity to settle on this mountain? ”

The grumbling emperor says, and Schwarzetoifel shrugs as if it were nothing.

“I guess I'm old now, too. It's more crowded than living alone. ”

“You sound ridiculous. ”

“Attractive, actually. Useful. ”

Schwarzetoifel said it was a double because he could pay for his residence and use it as a guard.

“The Demon Lord Odgash's attack shocked me greatly. But some time later, a ruined Pesjamut crawled into this mountain. Just in time for each other. That's why the city was built. ”

The real owner of Morse Sola is Balersted, so I didn't know about it. So this excuse sounded reasonable.

“Don't you think you set my boss on fire? ”

Even if the emperor fires, Schwarzetoifel strolls softly and brushes his fingers on his long, tangled beard.

“No, who knew that pessimist was coming for you? We've just established a simple partnership with each other. I'm not in control of the Demon King. ”

Even as I expected, the emperor chewed the shit out of his face.

“Péjà Mútra, famous for his brilliant wisdom among the Demon Kings... He lost his job at the Mysterious Tomb. ”

The emperor is truly afraid of Pezamut's tactics, and Schwarzetoifel, who knows his reality, is stunned. But I pretended not to know.

“I know the Demon King Pezamut's wisdom reached the sky. I mean, he's not even trying to make a partnership. Don't ask too much, just in case. ”

“Fedjamut used to think he was a fool. But it turned out his M.O. was really unpredictable. Even dragons make fun of it, and Pesjamut may take over the Empire one day. ”

It was a great evaluation for a conceited emperor. No matter how hard you try to respond, I've been teased by Pezamut many times, so I have to think this.

However, Schwarzetoifel knew that the emperor was overly thoughtful and was defeated by Pezamut.

Schwarzetoifel thought it was really fun to think that even the illustrious Balersted had been robbed by Pezamut several times.

“Anyway, I don't want to see that city. Let's go to your nest. ”

The emperor considered things to be good. Peshmut and Ballersted were at risk of disrupting work today, because the former was so busy with the power outages that the latter was at war.

“I see.”

They enter the nest of Schwarzetoifel. In the deep cave, campfires blaze, and old furniture ravages.

This is one of the places Schwarzetoifel spends most of his time in. Schwarzetoifel opens his mouth, passing it along to a warm car.

“You said you wanted to make up with Ballersted, right? I think that's wise. You can't beat him if you fight him. ”

“What? How dare you underestimate me? ”

The emperor was a dragon powerful enough to be called an Arctic Dragon. Of course, Ballerstead is great, so he can't guarantee the battle, but he was scolded for being pushed out like this.

“You underestimate my skills. No matter how strong you are, you're only human... ”

“No.”

Schwarzetoifel shakes his head.

“He can't be human already. The cicadas are escaping mortality as if they were avoiding injustice. ”

“ ……. ”

That was a scary talk. Soon, however, the emperor smiled and regained his confidence.

“Even the great Duke Vitenbier-Basel can't kill me. ”

“Hmm? What kind of nerve is that? ”

“This body can destroy an empire by will. ”

“What?"

Schwarzetoifel wonders, "I can't do that unless I'm a spiritual being." No matter how legendary the Dragon himself is, he cannot destroy a vast empire by his own will.

“I didn't just play ruling the empire. I knew there would come a time when there would be a great challenge like this. ”

“You got something ready? ”

The emperor nodded and took the car to his mouth. Suddenly, he regained his pride.

“I've planted huge magic bombs all over the empire. Indeed, those bombs in great locations will cause a chain reaction that will erupt volcanoes and flood the rivers. The Empire will be in chaos. ”

“You're out of your mind! ”

Even Schwarzetoifel, called the Dragon, didn't think of that. But an emperor would use his knowledge of Mado to end the lives of his own people.

“The empire I led anyway! Break it down like I mean it! ”

“You're out of your mind! ”

“There's no need to blame me. Not unless the evil Duke Vitenbier-Basel touches me. ”

“Somehow you've been working on your measurements the whole time, and you're trying to bury a bomb underneath the ground. ”

Schwarzetoifel thought it would be difficult for Valrustead to just kill the Emperor while kicking his tongue.

“You are the worst emperor to take an empire hostage. ”

“To a powerful man, a kingdom is a private property. Something's wrong with me saying I'll do what I want. ”

“There you go. I don't want any more Aung Dao. If you and Balerstead don't reconcile, the empire will be destroyed. ”

“Help me if you know. If this is resolved well, no one in the Empire will see the rough side. ”

Schwarzetoifel understood that the Emperor had come to his own lair with no escort. It's the only way to do that. Even if it wasn't, there seemed to be more ways to protect the body.

“Good. Tell me the terms. ”

Schwarzetoifel buries himself in a chair with a tiring voice. He listened silently to the emperor's explanation.

“… and so on. The details are written down here, so check it out. ”

“I see.”

As the emperor rolled out the scroll, Schwarzetoifel examined the nearby magnifying glasses. Finally, the emperor realized that the moment he wanted had come.

Schwarzetoifel has already been careless. His attention was directed to the scroll. If we miss this, there will be no chance of defeating Schwarzetoifel in a single strike.

Ugh.

A deadly poisoned dagger appeared in the Emperor's sleeves.

“Schwarzetoifel!”

The emperor jumped up from his chair screaming at the castle. It was an unbelievable lightning bolt, an old body.

“! ”

Surprised Schwarzetoifel has developed a defensive spell, but it is already within the Emperor's expectations. A few high-quality magic workshops were held, but the emperor triumphed.

It was because the emperor was simulating all the workshops ahead of time when Schwarzetoifel was distracted by the documents. They knew each other too well. Then one side of the ambush will have to take the lead.

“Rrrrgh!”

Eventually, a cold dagger pierced Schwarzetoifel's heart.

Kuaang!

Schwarzetoifel casts an explosive spell that pushes the emperor away, but it is too late. The dagger seems to freeze the heart because it's full of cold. My whole body didn't bleed properly.

Soon, Schwarzetoifel's face grew blue. He stammers as if he's breathing right now.

“W-what are you doing?! ”

“I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you here. ”

The emperor didn't seem to feel any remorse for his work. Rather, you even knocked down Schwarzetoifel's stumbling leg with a cane.

“Grrrgh!"

The fallen Schwarzetoifel mutters calmly.

“The old saying... a traitor... comes out of his family... and he's right... Khh! ”

Schwarzetoifel and the emperor were cousins. I saw that they were able to have a partnership even though they didn't like each other. Of course, the concept of a relative was different from humans because it was a dragon, but it still belonged to a bad axis during betrayal.

“Schwarzetoifel, you should have been wary of me when you saw such a good verse. This is why I only looked at books... Heheh. ”

“This... bastard... What are you... going to do... by killing me...? ”

“Of course not. You're interested in the seal you're guarding. ”

I was surprised to hear that, but Schwarzetoifel grabbed the edge of the Emperor's robe while he was down.

“Don't... do anything stupid... It is something... that should never come out of the world.... ”

“Shut up.”

The emperor who did this couldn't have listened to me in the first place. He kicks the fallen Schwarzetoifel and chants. To extract the sealing knowledge from the target.

Whoo-hoo.

The red magical light buries into Schwarzetoifel's mind. Schwarzetoifel tried to resist, but it didn't work because he was already dying.

“Oh... I see. It was hidden in the shadow dimension. ”

After defeating Schwarzetoifel, the emperor learned the secret of the Seal in one fell swoop. There was nothing rough about him anymore.

“Look back at the time you have left. I'll go to the Seal. ”

As he steps away from Schwarzetoifel, a sudden black smoke rises from the air.

“Emperor!”

Sharp shouting, he wields his sword. The emperor avoided using flashing magic when he was overwhelmed.

Flash.

After a brief burst of light, the emperor realizes that he has almost dodged a critical hit. Where he was originally standing, the dimensions were divided. In the air, there was a long sword that cuts through the space, and beyond the crack was another dimension.

“Ballersted!”

The emperor suddenly sees his opponent and changes his teeth.

“You got here pretty fast. ”

“Your Majesty, God is the queen of all moons. ”

It was a very taunting tone.

“Do you greet your lord with a sword? ”

Balersted glances down at the fallen Schwarzetoifel in question from the Emperor.

“Better than ambushing a relative with a dagger. ”

“Schwarzetoifel! That's all I'm saying! ”

Schwarzetoifel cannot give an answer to the irritating emperor. It was because his mouth was drenched in black blood. Seeing that, the emperor laughed.

“The sea that envisioned your appearance anyway! ”

The emperor is not a fool. When I was already here, I was also considering the situation that would make things worse. After the siege of Schwarzetoifel, Valrusted expected to intervene, of course.

‘Rather, there are no accidents. It's flowing as expected. ’

If Balerstead hadn't shown up, the emperor would have been more nervous. But everything was not out of control.

‘I don't want to, but I have to use it. ’

The emperor received a suspicious Black Box in a meeting with a creeping death figure the other day. You asked me to use it in times of crisis. The emperor immediately took out the Black Box.

It was probably because I was reluctant to stick with Ballersted directly. He was firmly mistaken about Balerstead's special skills, and couldn't keep his thumbs up.

“Can you handle this? Duke of Wittenbier-Basel?”

The emperor opens the lid of the black box and spills out the sticky blood inside. And from the wet blood on the floor, human beings of similar shapes suddenly began to rise.

* * *

This is no ordinary item.

I was shocked to see the black box the emperor took out. I don't know what that is exactly, but it's amazing. He did, too, because there were 13 monsters in his blood.

He had a great garment with a high neck, an octopus-like face, and a bat wing on his back. They were a higher breed who created humans in the past.

In particular, the 13 people who appeared now are of the devil's rank, so there is a great amount of power.

“Duke! Show off your talented dancers to them! ”

The emperor turned and fled with only four monsters, as if he had no intention of fighting me. They must be heading for the Seal deep underground.

Even if I try to go after them, there are nine monsters with the power of the Demon King standing in my way. It was the worst.

But fortunately, I had no intention of pursuing the Emperor.

Boom! Boom!

The monsters in front of you were funny, too, but they were acting out attack magic around whether they were pretending to fight me. They were more eager to give false battle noises to the emperor who ran into the darkness of that cave than I was.

“Schwarzee inspiration. I told you to pretend to be reasonable, and you look like shit. What's going on here? ”

“Ugh... I had an unexpected blow...,”

The problem was not the emperor who went into the Seal. The inspiration of Schwarzee seems to be breathtaking.

“That son of a bitch... Gekko... is tearing the seal.... ”

“Calm down, old Schwarzee. That's as far as I anticipated.I never thought of a hole in my inspiration's heart. ”

“Damn skeleton... ugh! Do... something. ” '

That's too bad. The death of old man Schwarzee wasn't part of the plan, but it is.
