The nobles of the dwarven kingdom, who were watching in the corner of the banquet hall, saw it and uttered a disdain.

“I... I...!! ”

The emperor was not even a little nervous about Kim Sung-cheol's enemies. Rather, he looks more relaxed and pulls something out of the Soul Bank.

It was a dagger.

The same dagger Kim Sung-cheol ordered Aerfurt's magic shop owner to show it to the Emperor.

It looks like a common weapon, but it contains more than what appears to be a story.

“If I hadn't stopped you then, you would have lost your life to this sword. ”

“Your kindness has already been repaid for your hard work. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

And he added.

“How many things did I have to give up for that? ”

The roaring tone was like the roar of a lion.

The emperor opened his mouth, staring at Sung-cheol Kim with an indifferent look.

“Raise Hymer chose a man other than you as her husband. You don't have to blame me. ”

“How can I not know that there is your coercion behind it? ”

“Is that so? My mistake, then. I apologize.”

After a few moments of hesitation, the emperor opened his mouth again with a curious look.

“But if you loved her so much, why didn't you forgive her? ”

“… What? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked and said as if the emperor had waited.

“I've heard that you've been banged on the door dozens of times just by the wind. Everyone says the Imperial officer is a surprisingly narrow man. ”

“ ……. ”

“Besides, you knew her family was falling and dying in poverty, and you didn't pretend to know it? ”

“Shut your mouth. ”

Kim Sung-cheol's voice changed.

The in-laws who heard Kim Sung-cheol's blasphemous remarks were amused.

“H-how dare he... ruin... the Emperor! ”

“You've become the enemy of the world and you've lost your roots. ”

In his arms, Bertelkia could feel Kim Sung-cheol's emotions rising.

It's not the dark anger she fears.

It was a hotter, more ferocious, living rage.

‘This guy. I've never been more excited than when I was cooking. ’

Kim Sung-cheol's words were not finished.

He took a deep breath and said again.

“And because of your choice, her daughter is in danger of dying. ”

“Aren't you the offspring of someone who has no blood? ”

The emperor said.

Kim Sung-cheol's teeth were engaged.

This is the limit of patience.

He struck the garden with an arm of karaz.

Boom.

You shake once at the gigantic palace of air.

Those who were watching this scene had to fall into fear.

Kim Sung-cheol said while everything was shaking.

“I thought you were my child. ”

The emperor smiles lonelily and pulls something out of his chest.

A silk handkerchief without the fragrance of lavender.

Kim Sung-cheol who saw it was flawed, and the emperor said without missing the gap.

“My old friend. My son is dead, too. ”

“ ……. ”

That's true.

Kim Sung-cheol remembers.

The last image of a human emperor who lost his child and offered himself a drink with tears.

But he no longer clings to faded memories.

“Don't call me a friend anymore. ”

Kim Sung-cheol empowered me.

“So that's how it is. ”

The emperor sighs indifferently, then takes his weapon out of the Soul Bank.

A two-handed sword that holds the moon's coolness, unlike the armor that shines like the sun.

Legendary two-handed weapon, Lucreti.

An invincible sword that is the symbol of the Emperor and proves his dance.

And a brother sword made for blacksmiths like Crumbu.

“It's been a long time, Captain. Where's my brother? ”

Lucreti said.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't answer.

Instead, he raises his arm.

“How long has it been since I fought you? Fifteen years? ”

The emperor asked, and Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

“That's about it. ”

“That was my victory. ”

“It will be different now. ”

I remembered a strange frenzy in the Emperor's body.

The blessing he received and the spiritualist initiated the battle.

Kim Sung-cheol who saw it thought to himself.

Is this the Veil of the Sun? ’

The tent of the Sun, a legendary spirit.

By chance, it became a symbol of the emperor himself.

It has a formidable defensive effect on the emperor, including its strong defensive and magical resistance, and it burns everything it touches.

In the past, Kim Sung-cheol could never break through the veil of the sun.

But it's different now.

Kim Sung-cheol moved.

I felt the emperor's appearance grow sharply and swung his arm.

Even before Armgaraz hit the Emperor, the Emperor's figure disappeared.

‘That was quick. ’

Emperor is a warrior who relies on agility and skill rather than strength.

His agility was considered to have reached transcendent heights long ago.

But now, his movements were spotted by Kim Sung-cheol.

He fumbles around the veil of Tae-ang, unable to keep up with the shadow. He catches up with the laterally evasive emperor and tracks him down.

I was surprised at the eyes of the emperor.

I'm feeling it.

The development of Kim Sung-cheol's chieftain.

The emperor swings Lucreti to keep the ship from being overwhelmed.

A cold blade of moonlight flew towards Kim Sung-cheol's neck.

Kim Sung-cheol only lifted the arm karaz vertically and stopped Lukiti's sword.

Chang Kang.

Sharp attack.

But the power there is weak.

Kim Sung-cheol felt the futility of time there.

‘You were so weak. The Emperor's Sword.’

Kim Sung-cheol flicked his sword with a little strength.

The emperor lost his balance for a moment and fled to the side of the burinake.

An emperor with a considerable distance turned his palm towards Kim Sung-cheol and honored the spell.

“Fireball. ”

He is a keen warrior, but also a great magician and a flamethrower.

A ball of fierce energy flew towards Sung-cheol Kim.

Kim Sung-cheol secretly looked at the flying fireball and practiced the spell he had learned earlier.

All 4 runes used.

Four runes were sequentially placed, leading to Magic Defense - Condition - Enhancement - Constraint.

The rune itself is a magical defense technique that uses the rune of Magic Defense, which has the effect of Magic Defense on itself. The rune of Enhancement enhances the composition of the technique and enhances the effectiveness of the technique itself rather than increasing the physical attack on the rune of the constraint.

Boom!

The fireball continues to strike a massive explosion following its magic defense technique.

Everyone who saw the explosion was so big that they closed their eyes and bowed their heads, but they couldn't even touch a piece of Kim Sung-cheol's clothes.

A rune of enhancement and a rune of pharmaceuticals could not break through his magical defensive technique.

‘Fair enough. ’

Kim Sung-cheol thought to himself after a drink.

It was the emperor who was overwhelmed.

"I've heard of you, but have you grown so strong? Not to mention his ability to be a warrior, but when did he become this magical?! ’

The emperor was intuitive.

That he was once on top of Sung-cheol Kim is no longer his opponent.

When several workshops came and went, his thoughts darkened and he allowed a blow to the trunk.

“Knng!”

The sun's veil around his body shatters and the emperor falls into a fountain.

The crowds that were watching this were sullen, and the hundreds of aircraft fleets surrounding the airlock were already aiming all available firepower at Kim Sung-cheol.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol didn't move standing there.

Soon, the emperor rises from the ruined fountain.

I didn't look right.

The coffin is peeled off and the pale mouth is dripping with a vein of blood.

“I have something to tell you. ”

The emperor said.

Even though they were wrong, they knew each other's thoughts even when they knew their eyes.

Kim Sung-cheol intuited that what the emperor was going to say was an unusual story and put Arm Garage in the soul storage.

“Stronger. Enemy. ”

The sword of the emperor has spoken.

The emperor sets down his sword and steps into his palace with a staggering gait.

Kim Sung-cheol followed him without a word.

Two men stand against each other in an empty palace with no one there.

The emperor sits flat on the throne.

“What is there to say? ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

The emperor coughed and vomited blood.

After vomiting blood for a long time, he stared at Sung-cheol Kim and said in a low voice.

“It may be hard to believe...”

“ ……. ”

“The reign of Ruettignia is not over yet. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

Then the emperor lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

“We were destined to lose the battle that day. I'm not talking about possibilities. It's a definitive defeat. ”

“And the story is...? ”

“I saw it. The true power of the so-called Unsullied. ”

“The Wandering King…? ”

“Not that important to you. For a man who walks away craving his own truth, like you. ”

The emperor struggled.

“One day he will speak to you. But remember, he's also a fighter who fights disasters like you. ”

The emperor who struggled hard fell back to the throne.

The emperor closed his eyes.

He's not dead, but he won't wake up for a while.

Suddenly, Kim Sung-cheol realized that there were numerous Watcher's eyes all around him.

“ ……. ”

There is nothing to know from this simple question.

Kim Sung-cheol left behind the emperor and left the throne.

“Farewell. ”

Opening the door, thousands of heavily armed soldiers camped beneath the garden and blocked inside Kim Sung-cheol.

In the lead, Gun Gun Dry Tree Mediov looked at Kim Sung-cheol with a frightened face.

“M-empire recruits. What have you done to the Emperor? ”

“Don't worry. The emperor is healthy.”

Kim Sung-cheol slowly walked forward.

No one dared to stop him.

Kim Sung-cheol strolled to the end of the airlock palace and fell down.

Before he disappeared, the garden started to move quietly and revitalize.

“Medic! Heal the Emperor! ”

Hearing the sound coming from afar, Kim Sung-cheol suddenly looked back.

No more sparks have erupted.

The festival of Ragrand is over.

*

There was a man groaning under the downed aircraft.

“Shhh…”

Arcubus. He barely survived the crash.

But he lost all his men and was badly wounded.

Unfortunately, what he crashed was the eight districts he despised the most.

“Someone... someone help... someone! ”

He found the disdainful citizens of District 8.

“Someone... help me! Doubloons... I'll give you Doubloons. No, I'll give you a house in District 4! And a decent job! I'm Arcubus Cnesephone. Anything can happen in this institution if I say it! ”

However, no matter how loud they shouted, no one appeared in front of them.

Because he set fire to the people of the precinct by his own command.

Survivors have already left for far away.

He is receiving karma.

Suddenly, a faint young man appeared in the darkness.

It's nothing.

“ ……. ”

She walks toward the arcuvus with a expressionless face.

A bright smile comes to mind on the face of the arcuvus who found a dog.

It felt like I had found a savior.

“Look who it is. N-nothing! Our Prophet! Prophets! And beautiful night roses of the empire! ”

He gives a compliment as soon as it comes out of his mouth and asks someone for help.

However, there is no reason to behave strangely.

Arcubus finds her strangely cold.

Like a blade of moonlight.

“Where are we with my predictions? ”

Someone said in a calm voice.

“What report? ”

In his question, someone pointed to the ruined surroundings. Arcubus was only able to figure out what the intention was.

‘This fucking fox bitch. You're trying to shut me up so I can squirm alive. ’

He opens his mouth desperately, taking care of his face in spite of the pain.

“I didn't report it to anyone. I'm the only one who knows your prophecy. So I take full responsibility for this. It's only right that I take full responsibility. ”

“... Really? ”

Someone scatters the cynics and approaches him.

She holds a sharp scepter in her hand.

Arcubus said urgently.

“You're going to kill me here? This arcuvus xenephon. You mean to kill Arcubus Gandharb in the middle of Lagrein? ”

“Gandhaba? Sounds like the rumors were true. It is said that you are descended from the Lutetinian Emperor. ”

“The Emperor. Nonsense. The country is still under Rutheginia. The Imperial Tea you receive is only the work of a true king. ”

Arcubus snorts.

His face is filled with pride that cannot be hidden.

Some have raised their voices.

Then Arcubus raised his voice.

“How many eyes do you think are watching you? Even if you kill me and shut me up, those who see this will spread your wickedness far and wide. ”

“The snow? Where? ”

Someone looks around with a bloody smile.

I felt no breath of life in the ruins. Only a few burned corpses are left lying there.

The face of the arcuvus distorted.

His karma is eating away at his destiny.

The master stabs him in the neck without hesitation.

“Rrrrgh... ugh...”

Arcubus Gandarba was killed in search of his most hated men.

Arcubus rises from his position and looks up at the distant sky.

“Kim Sung-cheol.”

A voice of complex emotions faintly seeps out through her lips.

She doubted for the first time.

Maybe what you know is different from what you know.

Lee Su-jin hurriedly walked past the ruined streets.

To the east, there was some dawn.

A new year was coming.
