Main Character Hides His Strength

99. The Face Behind the Mask (3)

“Where are you? Where are you coming from? ”

Akkad yells at the guards.

“I don't know about that! But the barbarians have reached the edge of the castle! ”

Soon, you hear the roar of a frenzied beast.

I remembered the horror in the face of the dwarves in the throne room who heard that sound.

“Savages!”

“Are they really here? ”

Horns and bells are ringing all over the place to announce the arrival of the Barbarians.

A city under the rocks that has been built over the years of cowardice. The Dynasty faced its worst crisis since it was built.

The situation has changed dramatically due to this catastrophic event.

“Your Grace, we will stop the barbarians who have invaded the capital. ”

Sarah told Dinecraft.

She was momentarily embarrassed by Kim Sung-cheol's appearance, but her beautiful face was flowing back with a veil of relaxation and luxury.

‘That guy. ’

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at Deckard with the scroll.

Deckard even smiled as he met Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

“It's been a while. Room 34. ”

Akkad, who was behind Kim Sung-cheol, couldn't help but notice Deckard's vaguely visible face underneath the hoodie he was wearing.

“Deckard. Were you one of them? ”

Decade only smiles at Ackard's question.

Kim Sung-cheol considers Deckard's position in his heart and holds the key to this situation. You turn to Dynkraft.

Dynkraft stands firm on his throne.

However, when he saw the face of Dynkraft, especially his gaze, Kim Sung-cheol could once again feel the misery of the man named Dynkraft.

Dinecraft's gaze stayed only on Arm Garaz. His only concern, of course, was Armgaraz, in a crisis that could wipe out the entire kingdom.

“Put the hammer back where it belongs. ”

Outside the throne room, even at this moment, the roar of the Barbarians, the scream of the Dwarves, the sound of bells and horns echoing endlessly through the city, but the Dwarf king did not.

“Give me back the Arm Garaz. The enemy of the world.”

“ ……. ”

I was familiar with Dynkraft's distorted obstinacy.

However, seeing the stubborn man even in this situation, Kim Sung-cheol felt frustrated.

“Dynkraft. Does that matter now? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

“The barbarians have reached the castle! ”

Another shocking news has come that will terrorize the entire throne room, but Dynkraft does not blink.

“If I don't return Arm Garaz, I can't help it. Hey! Summon all the soldiers to the Throne Room! Take the sacred hammer from that accursed human thief! ”

The king has ordered it.

That's an outrageous order.

One of the elders came forward and pledged to the king.

“Your Majesty, it is time to concentrate on the barbarians who invaded the capital rather than Armgaraz. ”

It was not only the elder.

Every dwarf in the throne room was thinking the same thing.

But the king thought differently.

The king's solemn voice echoes through the bowels.

“If the life of our kind is in the body, then Arm Garaz is like the soul. Soul and body. If you choose either, I will gladly choose the soul. ”

After saying that to the living Goddess and the elders, the king raised his voice with a finger to Kim Sung-cheol again.

“Now, return Arm Garaz. I won't listen to another word. ”

There is no negotiation or compromise.

The Dwarf King is a man of his word.

Even if his distorted stubbornness devours the entire body, he is a person who thinks he is right and will die.

‘How could he do that? ’

If he only took one life, he would understand. But the dwarf king's shoulders hold the lives of countless who follow him.

Nevertheless, he simply tries not to back down to control his will.

It was not more or less pure selfishness seen only in children.

The frustration turned into an upward rage, and the anger turned back into a void feeling.

Meanwhile, Kim Sung-cheol heard his inner voice.

[There is nothing to be ruined anyway. How about you take it all from here?]

It was a sweet voice that was hard to resist.

Even more horrifying is that Kim Sung-cheol himself freely consented to the idea.

Just like when I heard a similar voice in the chaos.

At that moment, Kim Sung-cheol felt his heart sinking.

‘Did you just think that was my idea? Or someone whispering. ’

There was nothing left around Kim Sung-cheol for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a dark darkness around him.

Kim Sung-cheol could feel it in the darkness that was invisible even before the end.

That a Black Giant who exists in another world is turning his head this way.

‘Dangerous.'

It was then.

There was intense movement in the heart.

“Wake up! Wake up!”

Bertelgia.

She shook her head as hard as she could to wake up Kim Sung-cheol.

In the dark, Kim Sung-cheol was able to escape out of the darkness using his only external senses as a lighthouse.

“Huff!”

The darkness clears and the color of the blazing light reappears in front of the throne.

“Is there a problem? ”

Bertelkiah says in his pocket.

“No, there's no problem. ”

That was close.

Looking at the reality, nothing changed, but I could feel Kim Sung-cheol. There is a terrifying hole inside of you that has left you unattended anytime, anywhere.

“Are you sure there's nothing wrong? ”

Feeling Kim Sung-cheol's heartbeat, Bertelgia carefully asked.

“Bertelkia. How do I know? That I have a problem? ”

“The heart is... something. It's a little weird.”

“No way. My heart is fine. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stopped breathing and felt the beating of his heart beating vigorously on the inside.

Nothing's wrong with his body.

But Bertelkia woke me up.

Kim Sung-cheol once again thanked the existence of Bertelkia, raising his arms to the dwarf king staring at him with a stubborn beard.

“What will you do when you return this hammer? ”

“What to do. That hammer was stolen by you. We only get what's ours back. What do you think I need to talk to you about? Thief.”

The dwarf king continues to show such terrible frustration.

I could feel Kim Sung-cheol.

The Dwarves' gaze at the king is not the same as before.

At that moment, a scream echoes through the doorway.

It belongs to a Dwarf soldier.

Blood splatters and a dull, faint sound echoes through the throne room.

Soon a man appeared through the door.

Two meters tall and heavy.

A dirty, crude armor and bloodthirsty axe.

The barbarians of the north have reached the throne room.

“You... barbarian! ”

The dwarves, who know the power of the Barbarians, step back in unison.

“Dynkraft. Look who's in front of you now. ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked with a hammer. It was a heavy voice, like the stillness before the earthquake, with a small but condensed rage.

The eyes of all Dwarves were on Sung-cheol Kim.

But the Dwarf king does not change.

“All I can see now is what you stole. ”

The king said so and shouted, looking around.

“What are you doing?! Without reclaiming the arm-length karaz from those outsiders! ”

The king's bad manners made Kim Sung-cheol feel overwhelmed once again.

Darkness drifts with grief.

I suddenly thought about it in the rushing darkness.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a string.

A lonely rope that connects the terrible past and present self, filled with pain and hardship.

It was dangerously tying itself to the present.

I wouldn't have survived in the past.

But since when did that rope get tougher and stronger?

Several past relationships will bring life to the endangered cord.

A lot of people's faces passed before Kim Sung-cheol's eyes.

The face of the emperor appeared and disappeared in the dark, talking about the unjust deaths, the honorable deaths, those tested by Sung-cheol Kim, and the aspirations in front of a small table with a woman named Lagreine.

What was at the center was a book.

Vertelgia, wrapped in a sack like the crucified heart of a covenant.

“ ……. ”

I made it.

Kwon Taegeum disappeared from the flames of the emotions that fate created, and the darkness surrounding him disappeared as well.

Kim Sung-cheol looked up at the dwarf king, feeling a simple, cheerful, refreshing feeling.

His eyes are no longer filled with anger or resentment or reproach.

“Heave!”

Kim Sung-cheol tosses his prey to the dwarf king without a clue.

As soon as Arm Garaz left his hand, I felt a strange sensation, but not much consciousness.

Arm Garaz, who left his hand, flew right over the crown on Dynkraft's head to the armpit above it and returned to its original position.

Huff, puff, puff.

The indestructible cradle made of celestial fragments welcomed its long-time owner and sealed the sacred hammer.

At the next moment, Crumbui appeared in Kim Sung-chul's hands. Crumbui whispered to God.

“A true protagonist comes at the right moment! Behind the cheap hammer comes the mighty Blade Crumbu! ”

Kim Sung-cheol approaches Deckard with his crumbs at an unbelievable speed and pushes him away.

“Knng!”

Declared by an unfortunate blow, Decker drops the scroll he was holding back.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately reached for the scroll.

However, as soon as his hands tried to reach out, a warning voice rang out from within.

[Dangerous. It is a poison that sucks the will. You mustn't touch it.]

Kim Sung-cheol took off his hands and swung the scroll instead. The scroll split in half with the floor but soon returned to the circle.

It is also a form of divine writing that is indestructible.

Kim Sung-cheol bought Crumbui and headed to Zero and the Apocalypse.

Then the king immediately reacted.

“I will not allow you to touch my guests. ”

The king's men surround Sarah and the Apocalypse.

“I see.”

I did what I could.

It's time to leave the rest to that fool king.

You've already moved on to his stubbornness once.

Now it's time for Kim Sung-cheol to shake as much as he wants.

Kim Sung-cheol looked around with his sword and said in a cheerful voice.

“I know I'm in the first row of your wishes and the enemy of my kind. I apologize for the past. Of course, I don't expect an apology to be easy. ”

Kim Sung-cheol once again looked around and finally looked at the Dwarf king.

The king no longer looked directly at Kim Sung-cheol.

The dwarf king, who had fulfilled his wishes, became a much smaller man than before.

Kim Sung-cheol continued to look at him.

“I will make my own atonement. ”

There's a blue glow on the crumbs.

Kim Sung-cheol walked forward while everyone was watching.

A barbarian who appeared in front of the throne room screamed out, wielding an axe at Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol took the Barbarian's axe without hiding or avoiding it.

Chang Kang!

Power versus strength.

However, how dare a barbarian be compared to Kim Sung-cheol's divine power?

The barbarian who pushed the axe blade into Kim Sung-cheol while exerting a divine force on Kim Sung-cheol's body as if it had been broken by the overwhelming power of Kim Sung-cheol and crushed under the marble floor nonetheless.

Bang!

Kim Sung-cheol's military foot stepped on the barbarian's head and exploded.

Blood and bribes spread all over the place, followed by the screams of the dwarves.

Akkad followed behind Kim Sung-cheol with an axe.

“What are you guys doing? Brothers, will you not defend your homeland with the Imperial Enemy or with the World Enemy? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

The man who became Kim Sung-cheol's most enthusiastic supporter suddenly said to people as if he was shouting.

Impacted by the hammer, the Dwarves started following behind Kim Sung-cheol and Akkad, one by one.

Beyond the throne room where Sung-chul Kim disappeared, the sound of spear slamming and no-ho resounded in the hallway.

The dwarves in the throne room soon slipped away like a tide. Even the elders who had to take care of the king followed behind the warriors with an old body.

All that's left is the king, the guards guarding the king, and the Apocalypse.

The empty cradle on the throne is filled, but the throne reality is empty.

As you can see, one Dynkraft sits on the throne, staring blankly at the empty throne reality.
