Swordmaster Healer

Chapter 56 Kill Orders (4)

Jennifer announced that Aiden had prepared a dinner for Seong-jun and the Road Guild members who had been invited as heroes and supporters of New York City.

“You mean the dinner? ”

Seong-jun who heard the news asked.

“Yes, Kang Sung-jun is not an enemy of the country, but he was invited as a national identity. You are going to announce Kang Sung-jun as a hero in New York throughout the United States at the National Dinner. ”

Jennifer explains. Seong-jun nods. There was nothing wrong with gaining a reputation.

His presence was revealed in the Empire and the League of Tribes, and nothing further harmed him by gaining his reputation.

“Is there anything I should prepare for the National Dinner? ”

“Kang Sung-jun and the rest of the group's costumes will be prepared at the White House. ”

“I understand.”

I was worried about the costume, but I was relieved that the White House would prepare it for me.

“When is the event? ”

“The National Dinner is in a week. ”

“I understand.”

More than a week has been concluded to stay in the United States.

After finishing the transfer, Jennifer goes back to her room, leaving a note asking her to call if she ever needs anything.

Soon after she left Seong-jun's room, someone knocked on the door with the pilot.

“It's me, Sir Kang Sung-joon. ”

It was Zeros' voice. Even if it wasn't his, I could tell just by using the title 'Sir’.

“Come in.”

“Excuse me.”

With Seong-jun's permission, the door opened and Zeros walked carefully in.

“What about Anfels?”

Seong-jun looked at him and asked about Anfels first.

“With the help of the United States, we were able to hold a small funeral. I was the only one there. ”

Zeros replies. He was friendly with Anfels. With the help of the United States, Zeros was the only one to attend the funeral of Anfels, who was sent from the other side.

I wanted to participate, but I couldn't because I had an appointment with the President of the United States, Aiden.

“I've heard that many colleagues lost their lives at the beginning of the Purge. But you're still not used to someone's death. ”

I felt a deep sadness in my voice. There would have been longing for home while fleeing to Earth. With a long run, there aren't many left around him.

“I wanted to see Sir Anfels again. ”

Zeros expressed his honest feelings. Seong-jun was in contact with Anfels, but Zeros was in Korea at the time, so he was not able to meet him.

“You'd make a good source. because there are limits to the sources that I'm communicating with. ”

“I guess so. ”

Seong-jun nodded and said yes. The Empire's informant who contacted Zeros has been subdued and has never learned about information, and has therefore failed to handle advanced information.

Anfels has been demoted compared to that, but has learned to handle information returning to his research unit.

If he were alive, he would have been an important source of information.

“By the way, what did I tell you to find out? ”

“I checked with the informant, but I'm not sure. ”

“Yes...? ”

Seong-jun made a sad face. He instructed Zeros to investigate the Empire's presence. Thanks to this, Zeros was busy investigating several things while communicating with the system on items for several days.

“It's not accurate, but the high ranks of the Empire seem to have perceived Sir Kang's existence as a threat. It was obvious that he was after Lord Kang Sung-joon just after seeing the trap he sold this time. ”

The fact that a knight in Brigades 99 was mobilized in the trap made it easy to guess that the empire had begun to move in to capture Seong-ju.

“Do I have to face an assassination threat now? ”

Seong-jun frowned and said. I'm not afraid of an assassination attempt by the Empire and the League. I was confident of defeating them all.

But if they continue to send assassins, there won't be one or two bothersome jobs.

“Probably not. because the power that's been put into the Earth so far is limited. ”

“If it were limited…… how would you describe it? ”

When Seong-jun asked, Zeros opened his mouth after a moment of deliberation.

“It's hard for me to answer because I don't have the information, but it's going to be hard for me to send an assassin in for a while. ”

“Why would you think that? ”

“Lord Kang Sung-jun knows how the Noble Order commands war, don't he? They always make sure to" deal with. "”

The Noble Order has always been known to put the most effort into a perfect victory.

“Did Vice President Rudell of the Noble Order send an executioner to deal with Sir Kang Sung-jun? ”

“I did.”

I was lucky enough to pass on the ambush. If they hadn't detected a preemptive strike, they would have allowed a fatal wound.

I did not think I would lose, but I would not have been able to win easily.

“The Noble Order only sent one Special Killer means that there is only one Special Killer that can move immediately. In fact, we couldn't afford the luxury of this trap. ”

“Maybe, right? ”

At Zeros' words, Seong-jun nodded. There were few first-timers, but not one. The SS class was unique to Bethia, ranked 99th in the Knights Brigade.

If only there was room for a special assassination due to the war command nature of the Noble Order, which always exerts its maximum power, they would have been deployed.

“We have information that the majority of the ducs on Earth are empires. At this rate, the forces deployed overseas, including Korea, would be less than this, if the Noble Order were to move in the United States, the most important node in invading the Earth. ”

Zeros' opinion was reasonable, so Seong-jun had to nod.

“The path through which empire forces such as the Noble Order and the Special Forces have infiltrated Earth is through the Rade-dimensional Gateway, right? ”

“I will. When the Dimensional Gateway opens and a Raid enters through the chaos. ”

“Can't we stop the portal from opening in this direction? ”

Seong-jun asked. If we can block the opening of the Dimensional Gateway, we should be able to stop the full invasion of the Empire and the Alliance.

However, unlike Seong-jun's expectations, Zeros shakes his head.

“Impossible. A Dimensional Gateway is considered to expand dimensional cracks, but cracks are unstoppable because they occur naturally. ”

Zeros was an expert on dimensional magic. The research record he left behind on his escape was of great assistance to the development of the Empire's dimensional gateway, so he could rely on dimensional magic and technology.

“After all, it's extinction. ”

Seong-jun shook his head and said to himself. It was as if the vanquishing had begun a cruel survival game.

“What is the Dimensional Key? ”

“I forgot to tell you. It's done.”

Zeros flips his Dimensional Pouch and picks out a key. A black key with a purple jewel on it that looks like a cobblestone.

- Confirm the existence of new items.

The meter that Seong-jun put on the table in his pocket reacted.

“I've taken away the energy of this world. Would you like to take a look? ”

“Well done.”

At Zeros' words, Seong-jun took the dimensional key to the counter with his answer. Then, using the emotion function, the item's information appeared on the screen.

[Zero's Dimension Key.]

SS class.

Identify the dimensional Gateway creation effect.

Check for dimensional disconnection effects.

It was awarded a massive SS rating.

“Sir Kang Sung-joon said you could use Lord Rowkel's ‘Absorption'? ”

Zeros asked. Seong-jun nodded instead of answering.

“If you ‘absorb’ it while you have it, some magical power will gather on this purple stable. When it's done, it glows. And the shining of the stable means we're ready to open the dimensional gateway. ”

“The amount of magic I absorb won't decrease, will it? ”

Opening a dimensional gateway to attack an empire or an alliance of factions was also an important issue. Zeros shakes his head and opens his mouth.

“That's not gonna happen. It is because Sir Kang Sung-jun absorbs the magical power close to the residue. Can be used in a dungeon that has been cleared of Grade A or higher once it is at full Magic Power. ”

“How do I use it?"

“Of course, it's a magic infusion. With dimensional disconnection in place, there should be no interference. Dimensional gateways will be random, but will not cross the SS level on a global basis and can be crossed with a companion. ”

“Very good. ”

Seong-jun nodded with a satisfied expression. Zeros did better than I thought.

“Now we strike back. ”

Now the time that was worth taking has passed. The time has come to raise the Counter Flag.

* * *

Time passed quickly and it was the day of the National Dinner. Seong-jun and his group take a car from the White House to the National Dinner.

Despite the tragedy of New York, the feast raged some time later.

At the beginning of the dinner after several orders, American President Aiden came to Seong-jun's side.

“I hope you don't mind staying at Blair House. ”

Aiden asks. He claims to have reinforced security, but he's uncomfortable with the assassination attempt.

“I'm doing well thanks to your consideration. ”

Seong-jun replies. Aiden nods, satisfied. The dinner was over in a warm atmosphere.

When the reporters returned, Aiden suggested that Seong-jun take a car like himself.

“I don't care. ”

Seong-jun gladly nods, thinking Aiden might tell a secret story. On board a bulletproof vehicle, Aiden opens his mouth with a calm expression.

“What do you think of the 3rd generation? ”

Aiden asks. Seong-jun rolls his eyes to see if he's related to this world, but it doesn't seem that way.

“Destroy it.”

“May I ask why you think so? ”

“He tried to kill me. That should be enough, right? ”

In Seong-jun's unruly reply, Aiden nods with a satisfied expression.

“I spoke with the White House advisors. As a result, the 3rd generation was determined to be enemies. ”

“Is that so?”

“Soon, a global coalition committee will be formed to combat these threats. ”

The good news is that countries are organized to respond to threats in this world.

“Can you persuade other countries that have not been threatened by the Third Reich? ”

Seong-jun asked. Aiden opened his mouth with a smile.

“There are no countries that the United States cannot persuade. ”
