The Novel’s Villain

< 48. Birth of the Dark Empire (4) >

Red Blade Latika was going crazy.

Suddenly, the Cyclops drop out of Knot's fleet, and the coalition is raging. She was convinced that there was an intervention between the Delrox Empire and the Reines. Latika intends to crush whatever enemies appear.

When I first communicated with a woman called the Dark Empire Army, I snorted. He dared to enter the Pirate Alliance stronghold. The battleship was quite plausible, but only three.

The liver must have come out of the boat.

However, it didn't take long for the smile to turn cold.

“Khhh! What the hell is that?! ”

Latika barely crawls out of the escape pod and punches the floor. Her white skin has long been soiled.

It was a nightmare. In a single attack, the fleet that had been supporting the pirate alliance was destroyed, and several battleships exploded. That's not where I ended up.

‘A human-shaped robot…’

I once heard of an informant planted in the Reines Kingdom. She was intrigued by the information that a new weapon secretly developed by the Reines Kingdom was a humanoid robot.

When you look at the data you have obtained, you will have tremendous power if you operate strategically. However, the black gas was of a different dimension.

I was more of a god than a robot.

‘We can't fight back. ’

Latika turns to look at the planet Gas.

Named "Pirate Storm," Gas planets lost their colors and were engulfed in flames. The center of the planet was swirling, and it was like I was looking into the eyes of a demon.

My whole body trembled at the overwhelming sight.

How long has it been since I've felt fear?

Before I escaped for freedom, I remembered that time. No, it was an unparalleled horror.

“Yes, sir! You're all right!”

His servant sprints up and grabs her.

Latika is headed to the command room. The entire fleet had to defend itself at a satellite base. The satellite base's defense system was impenetrable, even to empires and kingdoms. Of course, assuming it worked properly.

Latika arrives in the command room. What caught Latika's attention was the look on the faces of frightened servants. Normally, I would have scolded him greatly, but I couldn't. It was because her expression was not much different.

“What's the status? ”

“Tsu, the impact of impact has knocked down 70% of the defenses. It's hard to get power. The shield outside the base is broken... We're barely holding our breath. ”

It was hard to resist the shock wave.

Latika suddenly wondered. If that ridiculous attack had reached the satellite base, the satellite base would have vanished. Why did he keep her alive?

She looks at the radar.

The asteroid zone has been cleared away.

“Huh, ahh! Something's coming! I'll bring up the screen.”

Latika looked at the screen. It wasn't black gas, but a humanoid robot was descending towards a satellite city. And between them was a giant spaceship that appeared to be a transport.

Defensive turrets are up and running.

Kuaang!

The light emitted from the humanoid robot simply destroys the turret.

“Mo, all the turrets have been disabled! ”

“Yi, it's over! ”

“Ahhhh!”

The pirates panic. I was an elite pirate trained by Latika, but I had no choice but to be afraid.

Latika tries to stay calm.

“Arm yourselves! ”

“Ha, but...”

“Wake up! ”

Latika approaches the well-watered pirate. I slapped him on the cheek, grabbing his collar. Then, he barely recovered and began to arm himself.

Pirates at the satellite base are armed with reinforcement suits and private weaponry. It won't work on that humanoid robot. But I wanted to meet the end while showing him the pirate weather.

‘We are not dogs of power. ’

That's what Latika's been talking about.

"I'm sorry, Sarah. ’

Latika looks at the picture inside the necklace and fixes her face. She was dressed in a tunic as well.

Latika's reinforcement suit was enriched with the latest technology from the Reines Kingdom. It was thinner than a regular tunic, but it was more defensive. It was similar to the size attached to the body.

Latika has left the command room and set up a defensive line.

I keep an eye on the situation while maintaining the perimeter. A humanoid robot lands on a vast ice plain in front of a satellite city.

Why aren't they attacking us? ’

Latika didn't understand.

At that moment, the robot opens and the pilot descends. The gate of the transport ship that landed was also opened.

‘That's...’

On the transport ship, an army of Black Helmets and Black Cloaks begins to descend. All the meaningful parts of the body were machines.

"Human modification..."

It was a human-remodeled army. The remodeling of the human body is accompanied by terrible pain. Neural connections were not easy. I had to endure that much pain to synchronize my brain and machine parts. I was close to torture, so I was reluctant to see pirates free from the law. But there was a whole army of remodeled bodies right in front of us.

Thousands of soldiers were all hovering like one. They weren't armed like guns. You hold the red sword vertically.

“Old, military...! ”

“Ah, the Dark Empire Army! ”

The pirates swallowed.

I felt under pressure just looking at it. Latika thinks it's an opportunity, but her instinct is to run. It was her instinct to save her from countless battles.

But she had a reason not to give up the satellite base.

When I tried to warp the ship, she wasn't on the battleship. We're already on the escape route to the satellite base.

Latika grips her teeth and watches the situation closely.

The fleet remains motionless. The pilots stood still.

“What are you doing? ”

“I think something's waiting for me. ”

His subordinate answered Latika's question.

What the hell?

It was the moment Latika thought so.

“Huff!”

“Aah!”

“Well, that's...”

Latika's men scream.

Black gas.

It's because of the horror that plagues Latika and the pirates.

The black gas lands on the ice plain.

Latika gazes at the black gas, swallowing her saliva.

There was no murder or anger in her eyes. It was just filled with fear of looking at despair.

She wasn't even afraid of death.

But now my whole body trembled. All nerves were directed towards that black gas.

The black gas opens and someone drops.

A black smoke gushes out and envelops him. He surrounds himself with black smoke that seems to be moving like tentacles.

Chuck!

As he descends on the ice plains, the scattered soldiers split to the sides.

Latika's eyes widen.

She was able to recognize it all at once.

That man was an absolute man. She was nothing compared to the Emperor of the Deluxe Empire or the Queen of the Reines.

As the absolute hand gestures, the army begins to move.

The army marches slowly.

There was no ranged weapon, and I did not intend to shield myself. It was just a defenseless march.

“Fire!”

The pirates on the defense line spill their bullets as Latika gives the order.

Thud Thud!

That was some firepower.

They wear reinforced uniforms and have a gun with enough firepower to push them back. I thought that an army that has been converted could do great harm.

But the idea was also wrong.

“Me, crazy! ”

Latika had no choice but to say it. The red sword that the army was holding moved.

Screaming!

You cut the bullet. The red sword creates a trail of beam-like air flow. Where they passed, there were only clipped bullets.

There was an absolute one ahead of the army.

He was approaching with a very relaxed pace.

* * *

Jinwoo has landed at the satellite base and is off the Dark Flame Emperor. When I got off the cockpit, the black air came out and I changed my outfit.

Originally wearing training clothes, now it's something majestic.

It was really useless details.

There was a plot of Team T1. I saw Juna and the others. Jin-woo said he was coming, so he was waiting for him.

“Overpower the pirates and rescue the commoners. ”

After a simple command, the T1s march forward.

I've been attacking from over there, but it's no use. It's because the T1s were all learning to be unprotected. It was Juna and others who were scarier than the T1 Corps. As Yuna swings her sword, the shield is simply cut off and the defense line collapses.

You see the pirates retreating into the base.

I thought I'd lock down the base and settle down inside. The result was obvious, but it seemed like a sign of willingness not to be taken down.

Jin Woo was a busy man.

I had no intention of letting them resist.

I approached a tightly closed door. As I touched my hand, the door flew back with a recess. The pirates inside are panicking and shooting.

It's been a long time since the Golden Monarch raised his head.

The bullet stops as soon as it reaches Jinwoo. It was a pretty good cast. Jinwoo smiles slightly and touches the still bullet with his finger.

Excellent!

Then the bullets that were all around him fell to the ground.

“Huff, huff! ”

“Aah!”

The pirates flee screaming.

But I was caught by the nearby T1. T1 cut off the pirate's robe with a red-hot sword. I didn't feel any emotion at all.

Pussy!

Jinwoo ordered me to subdue him, so I broke his limbs and gathered the rubbish in one place.

So I was even more afraid.

Jinwoo walks into the base and down the hall.

The bullets pour down from all sides, but they don't reach him, they just fall to the ground.

“Huff!”

“Hooray, retreat! ”

The barrier installed in the corridor went down. Jin Woo didn't even have to reach out. Walking forward, the barrier melts away.

A well-designed command room came out.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Jinwoo slowly walked inside.

The sound of your footsteps is particularly loud if the floor is made of a special material.

Latika and her band of pirates stare at her with a firm look. The men are wearing heavy reinforcement suits, and their hands are filled with a large gun matching the reinforcement suit.

You try to pull the trigger, but your fingers don't move. The magical force that stretched out from Jinwoo paralyzes them.

‘Hmm... Is it possible? ’

Jinwoo saw a lot of things everywhere.

Jinwoo reaches out his hand, then raises it slowly. Then I remembered the bodies of the pirates in thick reinforced suits in the air.

“W-what...!? ”

Latika was frightened.

My jaw trembled. I tried my best to understand that blocking bullets with a sword is possible through human modification, but I still didn't understand this scene.

Jinwoo starts folding the fingers of the slowly extending hand.

Wood Duck!

Every time I slowly folded my fingers, my tunic became dull.

“Ugh! ”

“Grrrgh!”

“Cough!”

Your men scream.

The parts on my reinforcement suit crumpled up and fell to the ground. Latika is intuitive. Once her hands are fully folded, her men will be in trouble.

“Stop! Stop! I'll deal with it.”

Latika exclaims.

Jinwoo turns her head and looks at her.

I finally had my first meeting with a hero in the SF world. It wasn't that romantic.

Pussy!

As Jin Woo lowers his hand, all the reinforcement suits are destroyed and the pirates fall to the ground. They were all frothy and stunned.

Latika stares at Jinwoo. She holds a whipping weapon, her hands tremble.

“Deo, who the hell am I? ”

“They say it's the Dark Empire. ”

“... the Dark Empire...”

That was the setting.

“Why, why did they attack us? What have we done to you Dark Empire...! ”

“Why do you pirate? ”

“It's... free. ”

It was expanding the Pirate Alliance under the pretext of freedom.

I wanted to build up a force that wouldn't be swept away by three major forces. That's how I fulfilled my wish.

“The universe is full of irrationality! If you do not resist, you will be persecuted! ”

That did not give her the right to persecute anyone else. I didn't want to fight like that.

From the beginning, I didn't move with faith.

I just repay what I owe, and if I have any troubles, I just root them out before they grow up.

Whee!

Latika lunges at Jinwoo.

It was a whip with a beam. It was a pretty plausible move, but it looked clumsy to Jinwoo. The whip is wrapped around Jinwoo's hand.

Latika pulls with all her strength, but Jinwoo's hand is fine. Rather, sparks were fried on the whip.

Jinwoo gives a little power.

Pussy!

The whip breaks free and falls to the ground. Latika pulls back and pulls the dagger from her thigh.

Jin Woo looks at her.

‘There is a story. ’

She's making a name for freedom, but she's close to revenge. She was originally an Imperial peasant, but she was half dead because of what the nobles did to her.

Her sister was asleep in a hibernation pod. It could not be revived with the science technology of the Reines Kingdom.

Was her name Sarah? ’

The spring of eternal life that emperors of the empire use is said to be curable there. It was a legend, most likely a lie. But Latika's only goal in life was to destroy the Empire and go there. To do that, she did not obstruct the means and means.

Jinwoo looks at Latika.

Latika wanted to die. There is no hope for the pirate fleet anymore.

I just wanted to die with my sister.

I was looking forward to an honorable death, unfaithful.

Jinwoo shakes her head.

It was a really cliché setting.

“I'm a bit of a jerk myself. ”

It was never in the nature to do as I wanted.

Jinwoo glances around with the eyes of information. There was a hibernation pod on the command post floor. As I approached, Latika's expression changed.

She swings her dagger as she lunges, but Jinwoo swings her hand lightly and blows her away.

When I approached where the hibernation pod was, I rolled the floor lightly with my foot, and the hibernation capsule popped out.

“This is a little creepy. ”

Inside the hibernation pod was her sister.

He was still alive, but severely damaged. If the hibernation system goes off, it won't last an hour.

“Don't touch it! ”

Latika rushes in again. However, before touching the foothills of Jinwoo, he bounced back and rolled the floor.

Jin Woo looks at her with a bitter smile.

“I'll take this. ”

“W-well, stop it! ”

Jinwoo pulled out the hibernation capsule.

Latika's expression distorts with anger.

“That would be a nice decoration. ”

Jin Woo purposely provoked her.

She rushes crazily, but only rolls the floor. The reinforcement suit was already ragged.

Latika stumbles and gets up on her knees.

She has already lost her grip and collapsed.

“P-please... P-stop it. ”

“Many of these pirates have abducted children. ”

Jinwoo placed the hibernation capsule into the subspace.

Latika reaches out with tears in her eyes.

Jinwoo had no intention of killing her. I put an artifact on her neck. It was an artifact with traceability. The artifact is thick and looks like a sinner.

Troops T1 and Yuna are approaching.

Yuna looks at Latika and looks at Jinwoo.

“Your Majesty, is she...? ”

“I'll just leave it. ”

“I understand.”

I took all the pirates who were knocked out by the T1s and left her alone.

Jinwoo turns away.

“No! De, don't take him! Aaaah!"

I heard her scream.

Jinwoo turns his head and looks down at her, leaving the command room as it is.

Latika's body falls to the ground powerlessly.

‘It's a mess, but we can save it. ’

Serra's body is a mess, but with potions, it's no problem.

In the exorcism, he eventually broke up with her without saving her.

The protagonist comforted it and gave it a deep scene. It was a cliché scene, but I didn't see all the cruelty and left that part out.

The pirate alliance, which should have originally grown into a giant force with the protagonist, disappeared like that.

The birth of the Dark Empire.
