Main Character Hides His Strength

107. A Man's Promise (3)

Someone looks up at the Emperor in agony and says,

“Ever since you fell, the emperor has been getting weirder and weirder, and rumor has it that even his greatest supporters abandoned him, and it was true. ”

It was a little sad.

She was also under the Emperor once and watched him as he was an emperor right next to her.

However, there was little glory left in the past for the current emperor.

Only a weak middle-aged man left behind beside the beating heart.

“Your Majesty, we are ready. ”

The voice of the chieftains echoes.

“Knights and generals to reconcile as evil gods await only the king's command after deployment. ”

“The remaining fleet is ready to launch.

The emperor turns his head to a group of wizards who are still squatting on the other side and speaks powerlessly.

“Are you ready for the rush of hearts? ”

The wizard with a sudden face swallows his saliva and quickly says.

“Theoretical readiness is complete. But the wizards who will control the heart are complaining of the symptoms. ”

“You mean to tell me you can hear the voice of a successor? ”

The emperor glanced and said.

The wizard looks at the emperor with frightened eyes, nodding and nervously shaking his hand.

“The Master is long dead. Would the Imperial Wizards surrender to these hallucinations? Hold your positions and wait for my command! ”

The emperor said with a majestic mixed voice, but Kim Sung-cheol could tell.

that everyone is shaking a prairie car that should be an example for everyone.

We must not let him go on like this.

“Good timing, I see. ”

Kim Sung-cheol was a man far from lucky, but at least now he thought he was lucky.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a blunt tone toward the air and jumped over the railing and fell down.

I felt a series of boundary boundaries unfolding like a spider web along the high ceiling.

"Intruder detected! ”

“Spit from above! ”

A sharp shout from the wizards looms. The guards, who were waiting around the heart, drew their swords and ran around the emperor.

In a sense of urgency, everyone in the room looked up.

And everyone could see.

The fall of a man in an old coat that came down on their heads like a lion of God.

Boom.

The man, Kim Sung-cheol, landed in front of his crouched emperor.

The escorts hurriedly approached Kim Sung-cheol with a sword, but soon they recognized Kim Sung-cheol's face and solidified.

The emperor slowly raised his head and looked up, looking away from the shocked silence.

There was the face he longed for.

“What a shame, William. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said.

*

Twenty-six years ago, the Summon Palace.

There was a landscape that was not so different from the present.

Many Summoners were dragged without even knowing it and suffered a terrible death on the cold floor of this world. The person who doesn't overcome the shock and goes crazy breaks the heart.

For him who lived in a guaranteed place tomorrow, not much different from yesterday, it was a hell of a breadth.

However, very few quickly adapted to the harsh environment of the Summon Palace.

In particular, the unfortunate people who could not find any hope in that world accepted their fate in the Shui dynasty and rather actively tried to shape their second fate.

Kim Sung-cheol was also one of those people.

Above the plaza in the Summon Palace, I realized that Kim Sung-cheol is more capable of pretending to be human than he thought and helping others.

He always fought on the front lines during the battle and tried to save as many people as he could.

I didn't want anything. He just wanted to save people, and he just wanted to hear a thank-you.

He also had a close friend. She was a young woman who was first brought to the Summon Palace and shouted aloud to join forces in a calm situation.

Kim Sung-cheol was drawn to her like fate and became her team, and for the first time in his life I felt a similar feeling of love sprouting.

Until that day.

Pac-Man rules.

Victory is a rule that is recognized when a Summoner defeats a monster with at least a certain number of Summoners dead or very rare.

Under the hoof of a vicious beast with 12 hooves, Kim Sung-cheol was trampled to death.

Kim Sung-cheol survived the battle, but in other words, he was close to a lion.

It was William Quinton Marlborough who reached out to him. He was a man who would become emperor one day.

“That's a bummer.”

Young William said towards Kim Sung-cheol, who had cut even the grain and was only waiting for death.

Kim Sung-cheol glanced at William helplessly.

Decades of years passed, but the same sphere repeats itself in a completely different sphere.

In the place where he stood up and spoke, there was Kim Sung-cheol, not William, and there was William, who sat crouching on the floor and staring at the air with a glance.

Kim Sung-cheol recalled what William said to him as he stumbled through an old memory.

Then William said to him,

“There's an old saying in England, ”

He said that Kim Sung-cheol with a glare was a strong voice, waiting to look up.

“A person with hope can dance without music. ”

Kim Sung-cheol deliberately reproduced the scene in his faded memories.

“There's an old saying in Korea, ”

The eyes of the emperor, William, lightly recalled. He was also reminded of the devastating impact of the enemy's freshness. The first meeting of a lifetime of friendship.

“... My stomach aches when my cousin buys land. ”

At that moment, Kim Sung-cheol felt something was wrong.

The sensation is hardened by the violent vibrations of Bertelgia.

‘What are you talking about? It's got a great vibe! ’

Kim Sung-cheol tried to correct a proverb that he would cough and quote. But nothing comes to mind.

‘I should have read a book when I was in school. ’

While Sung-cheol Kim was hesitating, a faint smile spread over William's smile.

It's not a proverb. What is important is that Kim Sung-cheol wants to convey.

Kim Sung-cheol reached out to see the revitalizing light in William's eyes.

A man and a man's firm hands clasped together.

Kim Sung-cheol raised the emperor with the proper force.

“You're alive. ”

The emperor opened his mouth. The mix of apology and joy resulted in an overwhelming voice.

Kim Sung-cheol said in a bold tone, feeling a shy smile spread to his mouth.

“I opened my eyes and saw that you were alive. ”

The emperor closes his eyes as he feels his nose twitch.

Everyone who watched him was caught up in some sensation without even knowing it.

There will be a great history that you could not even imagine.

Soon everyone's expectations became reality.

The emperor kneels.

To the man who followed himself, even to the enemies of the world.

“I'm sorry.”

The emperor spoke frankly.

His real voice, majestic, confronted and thrown off everything, was feeling a little thin and delicate.

“I couldn't save you. ”

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed his arm and forced him to stand up instead of reaching out to the emperor.

“You have nothing to apologize for. You have made the right decision as Emperor, leading the people and armies of the Empire. ”

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the emperor and said.

The emperor was able to see Kim Sung-cheol's eyes closely.

That the man who was squatting in the square of the Summon Palace had long surpassed himself, and had now reached such a high that he could not even look.

It's not just a matter of strength.

I felt that way.

“Promise me one thing. ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his head to look at the heart of the alternative who was beating beyond the emperor.

The moment he saw the heart instead, he felt a voice like a hallucination resonating.

[Food.... Appetizing…. Together…. I'll do it...]

[The destruction of the world.... That's the will of God….]

However, his voice soon disappeared like scattered waves crashing against the waves. I couldn't hear his voice.

"Residual. Persistent. ’

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and erased the voice he just heard from his memory.

It's a big difference.

Kim Sung-cheol who has achieved the maze of dreams created by God in chaos is no longer something that he can do.

Kim Sung-cheol continued to look at the ruins of Ko instead.

“Stop relying on this vile thing. ”

“… but! ”

The emperor's eyes flutter violently.

Without a replacement heart, Lagranze will be destroyed by Barbarians in one day.

“Let me make you a promise. ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his eyes and looked up at the heart of Ko instead.

There was nothing beyond the ceiling of bricks and rocks, but Kim Sung-cheol's gaze was piercing beyond it.

“Within a week, I'll bring the army to Ragranje. ”

“The army?”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded at the emperor's question.

It was a small gesture, but the emperor could feel deep trust in him.

Soon, however, a shadow fell on the face of the emperor.

‘It will not be easy. ’

The Emperor knows.

An unusual thing is happening in the middle of the Alliance's retreat to the east of Lagranje.

It has been continuously reported that the Wandering King is emerging as a candidate for one king on behalf of the missing Sung-cheol Kim.

But it's Kim Sung-cheol's promise.

He makes no promises.

“A week. Within a week, I will gather the Allies of the East to find Ragranze." ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned his back on his words.

You hear a bold voice that relaxes you beyond the back of the man in the old coat.

“The fall of death is no longer the only thing you can see from the east. ”

Kim Sung-cheol walked forward.

The escorts who watched him breathlessly cleared the way even though the emperor had not ordered them to.

The emperor who was watching Kim Sung-cheol walking forward called Kim Sung-cheol from behind.

“Kim Sung-cheol.”

Kim Sung-cheol stopped.

The emperor's hand grips his heart.

‘You have to tell them that. ’

The Last Day of the Kingdom of Rutheginia.

His futile plan from the Chromgard.

The emperor tried to say it.

But if I tell him the truth, he will be burnt away by the cross of the covenant.

The emperor stood on the road.

While many thoughts were passing by, Sung-cheol Kim turned his head to the side and waited for the Emperor's words.

The emperor's eyes tighten.

He feels the strength of his whole body loosening, but he holds it in a forceful collapse.

Later, his voice came out of the mouth of the emperor.

“... Be careful. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, casting a fly, and flew toward the invisible terrace near the ceiling where he vomited himself.

‘Eventually, I couldn't say. ’

Immediately after Sung-cheol Kim disappeared, the emperor's new brother stumbled.

The escorts quickly resurrected the staggering emperor.

Shame and self-esteem bleached his face.

What was scary?

Death? That's not it. Similar but subtly different

The emperor thought, supported by his servants.

Soon he could find the bitter truth.

What he feared was the loss of the crown.

At some point, he became no different from the power he despised so much.

Immersed in self-loathing and hatred, Emperor William Quinton Malbourg heard a voice.

[Did you think you could treat me as a tool? You worthless piece of shit?]

Sticky, humid resonance that rises from the abyss.

The hearing of the sorcerers was echoing directly into the emperor's brain.
