I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

Pa!

The light disappears.

At the same time, the people of the kingdom, who were terrified, disappeared as well.

“Te, teleport magic?! ”

Fade Nail screams in surprise.

“Teleport?”

“Magic?”

Manus Persian and Area Britz later opened their mouths.

I was also surprised.

Not only that, the Persian knights and soldiers who hid themselves behind the people of the kingdom were also surprised.

They took a step back without even knowing it when the people of the kingdom who were standing in front of them disappeared.

Roan Lancefield shakes his head with a blurry smile.

“It's not teleport magic. ”

In fact, he didn't know how to use the right magic yet.

Brandt's ring allowed him to use only a few simple enchantments.

“Yes? Then what the hell was that beam of light just now......? ”

Fade blinks curiously once again.

After a moment of deliberation, Roan replies with a bold voice.

“I don't know. It's kind of a scripture, I'd say. ”

At that.

“Book of scripture? ”

Fade opened his eyes once again to Manus, Area and Vance Bonte.

The Bible was a very special ability to be used by the gods' priests.

Wanting to learn like sword, spear or magic was not a skill that I could learn.

Moreover, only the Church of Devesis can write the Bible properly now.

There were Tellian religions, but there were only a handful of priests who were so small and so weak that they could use the Bible.

‘King Lancefield and the Holy See have a hostile relationship.......’

Several people shook their heads in mysterious colors.

On the other hand, Roan smiles blurrily at people's reactions.

‘I can't even talk about Philius in this situation. ’

It was not the time to relax.

He turns his head and looks at Reytas Persian.

Reytas was as surprised as anyone else.

It was astonishing that the people of the kingdom disappeared before our eyes, and it was astonishing that Roan used the Bible.

“Roan. You really surprise me a lot. ”

He was truly impressed.

At the same time, I trembled with fear.

Roan shakes his head, smiling.

“It's early to be surprised. ”

Scary to the end.

Bloop!

A soft energy gushes from Roan's body.

The energy flows quietly like a breeze through the mountains.

The Knights and Soldiers of the Persian Kingdom shake their hands as they feel the soft flow of energy surrounding their bodies.

A warm wind blew through my fingers.

However, Manus, Fade, Area and Vance, who were just behind Roan, did not feel any change.

At that moment, Roan reaches out his right hand, looking at the knight and his soldiers with a expressive expression.

At the same time.

Pa!

The soft and windy energy emanating from Roan's body turns into a heavy, enormous energy that chokes my breath.

It feels like a storm is raging.

Dwarfed.

The ground and air trembled.

“Eh, eh, eh, eh.......”

“Ugh.”

The knights and soldiers look miserable and stretch their arms out.

It was not just for those who occupied the Silk Road.

Even the knights and soldiers pointing their bows at the rooftops of the building struggled with their faces in pain.

But one person, as much as Reytas, stares at Roan with a expressionless expression.

I was not forcibly patient.

‘I don't mind. ’

In fact, he was not affected by the tremendous energy that Roan emitted.

Not for any other special reason.

‘You missed me on purpose. ’

Everything was as Roan intended.

At that time, Roan, who was standing guard, slowly walked toward the knights and soldiers.

Every time I move, my energy radiates from my body gradually becomes stronger.

“Grrrgh!"

“Huff!”

Eventually, the soldiers who had not learned the Mana method began to kneel first.

It was truly spectacular to see soldiers filled with roads and rooftops kneeling at the same time.

“Ah.......”

Manus, Fade, Area and Vance burst a resilience they didn't even know they had.

It feels like the sea is splitting and the mountains are splitting.

All the soldiers who were holding their eyes tight enough to choke were on their knees.

“Stand up, everyone! Stay with me! Stay with me! ”

Reytas screams.

However, the words could not have come into the ears of soldiers overwhelmed by already tremendous energy.

Even.

“Ugh.”

“Oh, shit. ”

Even the knights who were struggling began to kneel down one by one.

It happened so fast.

All but one of them has fallen.

“Myself, I…… am I to kneel down as the Knight in the Palace of the Persian Kingdom?" Ugh. ”

The middle-aged man with the thick look was the head of the Knights of the Persian Palace and the birthplace of Marks Geller who killed Reytas' right arm.

Roan stops walking in front of Marks.

“Proud of you. ”

Mark clenches his fist with a light hand.

“Ugh. Of course! I, I'm a Knight of the Persians! ”

A forcibly squeezed voice hit my ear.

With knights and soldiers kneeling on the ground, you look at Marks with all your might.

Both eyes reminded me of awe with pride.

However, what came to Roan's eyes was an expression of contempt.

“The proud Persian knights.......”

His voice was small and soft, but strong.

“Looks like you're shielding your own people. ”

Boom.

At that moment, Mark's face turned white.

It was the same with the other knights and soldiers who looked at him with pride and awe.

“Well, that's..."

Marks tries to make excuses, but nothing comes to mind.

Roan shakes his head with a blurry smile.

“You have no pride or honor. ”

The horse turns into an awl and digs into Mark's chest.

“Grrrgh!"

I barely managed to hold on to my legs.

Roan whispers the last words in a very small voice.

“Kneel.”

At the same time.

Phew!

Marks can't take it anymore. He collapses.

His head was bent to the ground.

“Grrrgh!"

“Ugh!”

The other knights and soldiers shook their heads along with the moaning.

“Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh!”

Someone bursts into tears.

It was only after the situation changed that they realized what they had done.

Honor and pride were more important to the knight than death.

They threw away the most important thing.

“Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!”

“Hehehehe!”

The sound of crying spread rapidly.

“You fools! ”

Reytas frowns and spits.

"My heart is weak and I'm going to explode! ’

I wanted to ask with a loud voice what was good for and proud of me.

‘In the end, it makes sense for the winner to be all alone. ’

What will we do by dying honorably, and what will we do by living a proud life?

If I became a winner and put power and wealth into my hands, my honor and pride would follow me.

That was Reytas' idea.

‘We must return to the palace. We can't deal with Roan Lancefield in this situation. ’

Moreover, despite their disgust, there were trustworthy creatures hiding in the palace.

Reytas straightens up his thoughts and quickly turns around to hit the roof.

Ta-ah!

His spirit extends towards the castle in the middle of the royal province.

“Oops!”

Manus, Fade and Area reach out in surprise.

But Reytas' speed was so fast, he didn't dare to follow.

Right then.

“I'll surprise you again. ”

Roan mutters and rolls his feet lightly.

Moment.

Pa!

His appearance is gone.

It didn't mean that it was moving that fast.

Roan is completely gone.

But it wasn't teleport magic or scripture.

Pa!

His appearance reappeared right in front of Reytas.

“Huff!”

Reytas, who was on the run with all his might, suddenly saw Roan appear blocking him and swallowed up the false wind.

“Oh, how…? ”

He was unknown, but Roan used the Blink Magic that was hidden in Brant's ring.

With the vast increase in Mana levels and operational capabilities, the power of Blink is even greater than before.

Instead of answering, Roan clenches his fist as he smiles.

Phew!

His fist strikes Reytas in the face.

“Grrrgh!"

Reytas flies back with pain.

I instinctively raised Mana, but I couldn't take Roan's blow.

Kugu!

He rolls the floor with a dull sound.

It rolls through the roof that was originally standing to the front of the gate.

It was truly miserable and shameful.

“Ugh.”

Reytas quickly rebalances himself.

My jaw froze and my lips burst, but fortunately, no one was badly hurt.

‘It must have been a massive blow, but it's strange. ’

Reytas tilts his head toward Roan, who is far away.

Right then.

“Draw your sword. ”

I heard a strange voice digging into my ears.

This is obvious.

‘Manus' voice. ’

Reytas frowns and turns his head.

“Hmm.”

I squeezed my lips and low tears poured out.

Manus is right in front of you.

He flew a long way into one of Roan's strikes and rolled in front of Manus.

‘Is this what you wanted…..’

I smiled bitterly.

Reytas takes a deep breath.

“Manus. Like this..."

When the horse goes on like that.

“Draw your sword. ”

Manus severs his lower back with a cool voice and draws his sword.

Grrr.

The sound of iron pierced my ears.

A cold blade appeared before my eyes.

At that moment, Vance Bonde stepped forward, who was backing away.

“Prince Manus. Pick up your sword.”

His hand moved to the Swordsman at the waist dance.

But I couldn't draw my sword as I wished.

“Stop.”

A sharp voice.

Aria suddenly approached and grabbed Vance's wrist.

“Are you pointing a sword at Prince Manus? ”

At that, Vance bit his lower lip.

Area's eyes gleam and glow.

“You've just seen it. What Prince Reytas looks like! And yet you would raise a sword for him? ”

The sharp voice becomes sharper.

Vance takes a deep breath.

“I have already renounced my faith once. I don't want to change you twice. ”

I smiled bitterly at Area's mouth.

My eyes reminded me of the feeling of healing.

“You don't know what's right or wrong. ”

Area shrugs her shoulders forward and lets out a fist.

“Suck!”

Vance backs away from the sudden attack.

“What are you doing?! ”

As Vance groans, Area grins and draws her sword.

“You fight for Prince Reytas. I will fight for Prince Manus. ”

She lunges for Vance with a frightening kick to the ground.

“Oops!”

Vance is forced to draw his sword and strikes back.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

A flame strikes with the sound of iron.

Vance, who was trying to mediate Reytas and Manus, had no choice but to step back because of the war with Areas.

“You've done well. ”

Reytas grins and talks.

“She's not my bitch. ”

Manus insisted briefly.

Reytas frowns slightly.

“Then what is it? Girlfriend? Or a promise of marriage.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

Spot!

Manus' sword cuts through the room and stops at Reytas' nostrils.

“Reytas, draw your sword. For your ambition and desire, I ask you the sin of forcing innocent people into limbs. ”

Strong face and voice.

Manus glances at Reytas with a determined look.

But Reytas shakes his head, smiling faintly.

“My brother Manus. Do you really think you can risk your life for this brother? ”

He stretches his arms out to Manus.

If you can wield the sword, try as much as you want.

“Manus, you are not the vessel of a monarch. Leave the Kingdom of Persion to me and you to that.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

Spot!

Manus' sword splits the space once more.

The beam continued for a long time.

Screaming!

With a gruesome sound, Reytas' left wrist is slit clean off.

“......? ”

Reytas looks at his left hand with his eyes wide open.

What happened so suddenly.

No, he didn't react because it was completely unexpected.

“Wha, wha, wha...”

Reytas stammers, waving his hand, which was cut off late.

He looks at Manus with trembling eyes.

“What the hell are you doing! Manus!”

An enormous pain erupted.

He uses Mana to stop the wound and scream over and over again.

“You! You! How dare you cut my wrist! ”

My face turned red.

Reytas completely lost his composure.

Manus' expression, on the other hand, was much more comfortable and smooth than before.

“Sword.......”

The voice also calmly subsided.

“Take it out.”

Manus twists his wrist and takes a ride.

A cool life flows from the deep sunken eyes.

“You fool! ”

Reytas draws his sword from his waist, grumbling and groaning.

“This time, I'll cut your head off! ”

Lives gushed from my body.

Yeah.

Manus' sword and Reytas' sword clash together and make a strange hiss.

Chuck!

The smooth sliding blade interlocks with the blade.

At that moment.

“Die!”

Reytas twists his wrists and elbows, shooting at Manus.

“Suck!”

Manus takes a deep breath and quickly counteracts.

Cham! Cham! Get it, get it!

A duel broke out with the sound of iron.

Gulp.

The knights and soldiers who were kneeling down under the aura of Roan barely looked up at the two princes' battles.

The eyes fluttered with complex awareness.

Roan stands alone among them, staring quietly at Manus and Reytas.

You could have cut Reytas' throat in a single blow right now.

It may be a little difficult, but you could have taken the lives of all the knights and soldiers here.

But he didn't make a move.

‘Prince Manus must take care of this matter. ’

I left Reytas' disposition with Manus the other day.

Manus was imprisoned instead of killing Reytas.

The Persian Empire was deeply confused by its choices and decisions at that time.

Too many people have lost their lives.

Moreover, most of them were innocent.

Prince Manus. What choices and decisions will be made this time....... ’

Roan's eyes sank deeper.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

The iron grows louder.

Mana draws a picture of light as he cuts through the space.

Suddenly, it was a battle of bells and ice.

“Die, Manus! Die!”

Reytas continues to curse.

The breath and sunburn engulf the iron.

Manus, on the other hand, was calm.

The more I fought, the more relaxed I was.

Right then.

Ka 'ang!

There was a different hiss than before.

At the same time, Reytas, who was pushing Manus hard, bounces back.

“Hehe.”

He twirls his right hand and bursts into tears.

The heavy impact stiffens my grip.

‘Dammit, you're so strong! ’

My heart burst.

But I couldn't take the color.

Reytas gazes directly at Manus, smiling forcefully.

“Not bad. Clearly your sword is running.......”

When the horse goes on like that.

“I get it now. ”

Manus speaks.

A quiet voice.

“Hmm?"

Reytas frowns.

“What do you know? ”

I had a strange look in my eyes.

Manus takes a deep breath and answers with a clear voice.

“Reytas, you don't deserve to be a monarch. ”

Reytas snorts.

“Hmph. That again? Love of the people of the kingdom, generosity, pride and honor, such silly stories.......”

But this time, Reytas' words did not end.

Manus shook his head and cut off his waist.

“That's not it. ”

He looks into Reytas' eyes.

“Reytas.”

Powerful voice.

“You don't just have pride and honor.......”

His voice became a blade, and he cut his heart out.

“I'm not even good at it. ”

At that moment, Reytas' face distorted.

“What, what?! ”

Extreme self-esteem.

But Manus was a figure of speech.

“I can't leave the kingdom to someone who speaks nonsense without skill. ”

His sword points to Reytas.

“Reytas. I kill you for the Persian Empire." ”

At the same time, Manus lunges for Reytas with his feet on the ground.

“How dare you! ”

Reytas grips his teeth and counteracts.

Cham! Cham! Chang!

Once more, a loud hiss rang out.

A fierce Workshop is opened.

But this fight didn't last long.

Spot!

Manus' blade cuts off Reytas' armor seams perfectly.

Armor falls and bare skin is revealed.

“Now, hold on! ”

Reytas screams in surprise.

But Manus' sword does not stop.

It was definitely different from the last time.

A dark light flashes into Reytas' eyes.

“Manus!!!!!!!! ”

He squeals with all his remaining strength.

At the same time.

Squeak.

Manus' sword pierces Reytas' chest.

“Huff!”

Reytas clears his eyes and swallows the wind.

The agony is overwhelming my whole body.

“Grrrgh.”

The rest of Mana gathers around your chest.

Thanks to this, I was able to avoid saving myself.

“Phew.”

I squeezed my lips and took a long breath.

Reytas looks up at Manus.

“Manus.”

A helpless voice flows in the wind.

Manus bites his lower lip.

I decided to kill him. I killed him all I wanted.

But...

‘Painful.'

Reytas was a brother he had trusted and followed all his life.

I tried hard to hold on to my heart, but I couldn't hide the frustrating and sad emotions that filled up my throat.

I saw the agony in my eyes.

“Don't, Manus. ”

Reytas squeezes the last of his strength.

“Hey, don't get weak. This, this, this world is three... Cough. ”

A red blood clot protrudes with a cough.

Reytas steals the entrance with the back of his hand and looks Manus straight in the eye.

But he couldn't take it anymore and closed his eyes.

Your breath sounds shallow.

My lips are very small with red blood.

“In the end, the winner will take care of everything. ”

That was the last thing Reytas said to the world.

It was a total Leitashlike horse.

Manus releases his hand from the swordsman.

I couldn't draw my sword.

It was a sword I had used since I was a child, but I didn't want to catch it again.

He glances at Reytas quietly and whispers in a small voice.

“Winner takes all? ”

Manus shakes his head.

“It's not like that. ”

He takes a deep breath and looks at Roan.

Roan is still standing, staring at Manus.

Their gaze deeply tangled.

“I've already met a winner who's not like that. ”

A small voice falls into Reytas' dead ear.

“I saved the world with him.......”

I felt a little strong in my voice.

“I'm going to change the world. ”

Manus shifts his steps with a faint smile.

He didn't hold a grudge against Reytas.

Roan smiles at Manus as he approaches.

“Are you all right?”

Soft question.

Manus nods instead of answering.

Roan looks back at the castle.

“Let's go, then. ”

Manus cautiously asked.

“Are you going to attack the castle? ”

Roan shakes his head.

“No.”

The next words were very short and simple.

“I'm going to change the world. ”
