< Path to Imperial Palace 4 >

The dragon standing in front of the constellation's eyes was surrounded by blue light. No, it wasn't exactly blue. Various colors were mixed a little by little.

There was gold everywhere, and there were dark spots everywhere. There were white spots.

But it was not at all awkward because all the colors were so well mixed and in harmony.

The dragon was really beautiful.

Hyun-seok could see it as soon as he saw it. The fact that it is its own dragon that interacts with itself.

I don't know where he was or what he was doing.

“Oh, I see. ”

Now I was able to make a close guess as to the answer to where these knowledge came from.

It was Megelou's sword.

It was the knowledge that was embedded in the sword, and the dragon that was embedded in the sword. And the power that was in that sword.

It was similar to the dragon I saw in my vision before, but different.

Earlier, the dragon was not blue, but red. It was easy to sense. It looked the same.

I just felt like I had a different power.

The dragon has the power of fire. However, you can feel the power of lightning from this blue dragon.

It seemed to be affected by something because the electrolyte family attribute was the highest among the properties of Hyundai.

After all, this dragon was the most optimized dragon for string.

Phage job!

The dragon's body swells with a surge of electricity.

Hyun-seok looked at how he was connected to the dragon.

“A creature of magical power. ”

This dragon was not real, it was made real by magic.

Hyundai was able to see that his mind was firmly bound to the dragon. It became a natural perception of the dragon as if it were just breathing.

“So... shall we get on? ”

Hyundai sneezed on the back of the dragon.

An electric shock followed by the dragon's body. However, the electric shock had no effect on Hyundai.

The string moves the dragon slowly towards the imperial palace.

“I think... I need some time to master." ”

It wasn't just hard to control. But to fight the dragon properly, I didn't think it would work like this.

The dragon was like another weapon. If you don't have a lot of training, you won't be able to use it in a really important battle.

‘Well…… it's enough to get more stats. ’

Hyun-Seok thought so, riding the dragon towards the imperial palace.

There's still a gate left. And that gateway is probably a lot more dangerous than you think.

* * *

Hyun-Seok stands on a high hill, gazing down at the magnificent palace from afar.

A large city was built around the imperial palace.

The city was empty.

According to the pattern so far, the citizens of the original city should be wandering around in skeletons, with no one left.

"No, that's not necessarily the case. ’

Skeletons in the outskirts of the city. They are coming out through the south gate of the upside-down city to see if they have noticed the presence of stone.

That was more than all the skeletons that Hyundai has dealt with so far.

Of course, Hyun-seok did not threaten them at all. Hyun-seok decided to wait for them to come here.

Once they're coming together, it'll be easier to deal with.

The old stone would have rushed in, swung and stabbed them, and destroyed them. But now I didn't have to.

We have the weapons to take out so many enemies in a heartbeat.

Eventually, all the skeletons in the city came out to where the stone was.

Upon the high hill, it appears as if ants are swarming in.

Hyundai looks at the hardworking skeletons and moves his magic.

A giant dragon covered in blue light appears next to the stone.

The way to summon a dragon is to summon the dragon's name or to use magic in such a special way.

When you call out the name of the dragon, you should care a lot and call out earnestly. A force with a name was the way to summon the dragon by moving its magic.

However, Hyun-seok was able to summon the dragon only by moving magic without having to do so.

Most Imperial braves call out dragons by their names. It's so much easier and it doesn't matter.

Like this, Megelou was the only person who summoned the dragon through magic.

After all, the dragon summoned by the stone was standing on a hill, surrounded by electric shocks and looking down at the skeletons.

The string moves the dragon to prepare the brace.

The dragon opened its mouth. Then the electricity that flowed through the body began to gather there.

I'm out!

A sphere of electroshock was created in the mouth. The sphere became stronger and stronger as it absorbed the electric shocks from all sides.

It did not grow in size. Electrolytes compressed and compressed and emitted increasingly intense light.

When it reached its peak, lightning struck like a waterfall.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

A white brain dragon sweeps through the world. It devours all the running skeletons.

Kwa-woo!

The lightning bolt that swept through all the skeletons straight through the walls surrounding the city.

Shhhhh!

A huge explosion has occurred. But the wall was intact.

The moment a huge thunderbolt strikes the wall, a strange symbol flashes across the wall briefly and disappears.

The flash of light completely prevented the lightning.

The string saw it and lit up its eyes.

Suddenly the dragon disappeared again. I came out to wipe out all the skeletons, so I did my part. Even though I only punched a brace and went back.

“That symbol……. ”

The stone was able to see what symbols appeared on the walls. It was a kind of magical pattern.

Magic patterns were engraved on the walls and each time a certain condition occurred, magic flowed through them.

The magic patterns engraved on the walls clearly show the power to prevent external attacks.

I thought it would be good to study that pattern later.

Anyway, that was later, and now I have to go to the Imperial Palace. We're almost there. All you have to do is go in.

“Of course I won't let you go in there. ”

Hyun-seok mumbled so loudly and walked.

After disposing of the courier, you encountered three more enemies. It was never easy.

The ones who are really stronger than the courageous come out in turn.

He had to risk his life every time he fought. I've used up all the tools I can.

And I survived to get here.

Every time you take out an enemy, you get something.

I've increased my level a lot. I thought I might be able to go over level 200 when I finish my work in this imperial palace.

And each time I fought, I was able to get special loot.

An item that possesses the special power of the opponent, which all the loot fought for. Like the sword of Megelou, who took away his courage.

Hyun-seok suddenly came up with that idea.

Somehow, this dungeon on its way to the Imperial Palace seems to have been built on purpose to help its growth.

What if those enemies who fought for their lives showed up at once?

He probably didn't win no matter what he did. In such a place, defeat means death, and the life of Hyundai would have been there.

But the enemy appeared one after the other, as if he had decided to grow the stone bit by one and build the experience.

And thankfully, the more backward you get, the stronger your enemies become.

Perhaps there is a stronger opponent in the imperial palace than any man who has fought so far.

And hopefully, that incredibly strong one will be the final gateway.

The steps of the stone gradually accelerated.

And then I went into the city.

“This... seems like things have been getting a little crazy lately. ”

Carlson pours his drink with a face full of irritation.

I don't know how many years ago I last drank. In the meantime, I haven't had anything to drink.

But now I couldn't sleep without alcohol. There was a great deal of stress.

Carlson had to empty almost half a bottle of the poisoned whiskey before he cleaned up.

“Ha.”

Carlson sighed and read the report again.

“It's been ten days, and you still haven't found it? You didn't get out, did you? ”

That can't be right. We sealed off all the exits. Where the hell are we going?

In the last ten days, nothing has gone in, but nothing has come out.

And I've been doing repeated searches.

It was a necessity to get inside the Emperor Tower. And an additional unit.

I searched and searched again and again, but the man who took out the Emperor Tower hasn't shown up yet.

So I was continuing to put in more manpower. If the enemy is secretive and agile, he may continue to evade the search party.

If we want to eliminate that possibility in the first place, we need to put in more manpower.

But I had a feeling Carlson wouldn't catch him this time.

I felt really dirty. It was the first time since I didn't drink.

Come to think of it, I think I drank alcohol before to forget this dirty feeling.

Knock, knock.

Carlson turns his head to the door with a knock. This was the office of the company.

But there was no one here at Lexton Energy to stop Carlson from doing anything.

Carlson swallowed another sip and said:

“Come in.”

The person who entered as expected was the secretary.

“It's been a long time since I've been home, haven't you left yet? ”

“I... I thought you might want to check this out. ”

“Confirm? Confirm what? ”

“Here's a video. ”

The secretary hurriedly approached Carlson and put out the smartpad. There was a video floating there.

Carson regenerated the image by touching it with his finger.

It was a video of a highway. Carlson frowns. Why are they showing me the road?

Then suddenly, I remembered the instructions I had before. Suddenly, I was sober.

Carlson focused on the video. But no matter how much time passed, nothing changed.

Moreover, since I filmed the dark night, there were very few cars passing by.

At that moment, a car appeared. Then I slipped on the quick brake.

“Huh?"

At that moment, Carson thought he was seeing things wrong. The moment the car slipped, it seemed like there was someone in front of it.

“Have you seen it?”

“No way... Is this a person? ”

“Yes, I'm going to show you a different angle. ”

There used to be a myriad of surveillance cameras there, so there was footage of it from various directions and angles.

Carson rubs his chin, shining his eyes, checking out some of the footage that his secretary plays.

“Suddenly a person falls out of the air... if you're not capable of space travel..." ”

“That means there's something there. ”

His secretary took Carlson's word for it.

Carlson smiled and ordered his secretary.

“Get ready now. I'm going there, too. Gather all the head-enabled and sensitive players. ”

“Yes!”

His secretary shrugged his shoulders and replied loudly to his achievements in a long time.

* * *

The Hyundai enters the city and walks straight towards the Imperial Palace.

If you enter the city's South Gate, ten wagons come out wide enough to pass at once, and if you walk all the way to the end of the road, there is an imperial palace.

His name was the Imperial Palace.

He walked along the Imperial Highway and looked around.

‘There is no one. ’

The city was empty. This is the shape of the city, but I wondered if there was anything different about the Imperial Palace.

Maybe the Imperial Palace is empty. No, not at all.

Or the people who used to work in the imperial palace will turn into skeletons and be waiting for the stone.

Maybe I should have called out the dragon again and struck a bolt of lightning.

Hyunseok walked along the imperial highway thinking like that. And soon I was able to reach the imperial palace.

“That must be the last gate. ”

The gates of the Imperial Palace are locked. And there's a skeleton standing at the door.

It was a skeleton with a sword and shield, and it was even wearing leather armor that looked very good.

Surprisingly, the atmosphere of the skeleton was truly terrifying.

The skeleton remains motionless and aims its sword at the stone.

The stone swung its sword and walked in full swing.

I felt a tingling sensation of crisis and tension throughout my body.

I suddenly remembered a smile on the stone's mouth.

End of the Road to the Imperial Palace
