Will I die once again

MC's POV

I was currently standing in front of the emperor of this empire, which, if I remember correctly, would soon be destroyed.

The man looked at me and my so-called master. "So, you want to use our prized weapon in the war to destroy the enemy country?" he asked, his hand resting on his sword.

The tension in the air was palpable. The reason for it? None other than Richard, my master, who controlled me and brought me straight to the emperor, killing all the soldiers who had tried to stop us along the way.

All the royal guards were on high alert after seeing how easily I had dealt with them.

"Yes, Your Highness," Richard responded with a smile.

"Stop your act right now, Richard." The emperor had had enough. He fully understood what Richard was doing. This was a rebellion, an attempt to overthrow him.

The emperor could sense multiple soldiers having a standoff outside the castle.

He looked at Richard with hatred. He had never imagined that a man who had shut himself in his room, making puppets, would hide his true intentions so deeply.

'What is the rank of the emperor?' I asked my skill.

[Notice: The person in question has a special rank of A.]

'Can you tell me his existence value and mine? That would be more accurate.'

[Yes, please wait for a few seconds.]

[The person in question has an existence value of 234,000.]

[On the other hand, you have an existence value of 78,000.]

'Which means I'm in danger, right?' I asked, feeling how reckless Richard was.

[Not exactly, host. After using *Examine*, I've come up with the following results: Your chances of winning are 55%, thanks to the skills Richard gave you and your body, which cannot be destroyed by anyone ranked A.]

So, he wasn't as stupid as I thought, I realized, starting to have some respect for Richard.

At this time emperor move from his place and Richard control me to meet him head on.

The emperor and I clashed, swords meeting with a deafening ring as sparks flew from the impact.

Magic was used by both of us.—fire, wind, and lightning—all crashing into each other, but neither of us gained the upper hand.

Dispite having control over all five main magic thanks to the magic circuit created by Richard on my hands the emperor counters it will pure firepower.

I swung my sword with all my strength, only for it to be parried by the emperor's blade. His skill was exceptional, and his magic was no less powerful.

It was a stalemate, each of us evenly matched despite the emperor's higher existence value. However, Richard had wiped out all the guards inside the castle. He wasn't weak either, with an existence value of 46,000, and he made quick work of the elite guards, whose values ranged from 8,000 to 20,000 on average.

The emperor's sword pierced through my body, but it didn't hurt at all because I was a puppet not a human being.

My body, made of magisteel, was tough, but I could feel it cracking under the pressure of his blade. His weapon, forged from the same material as my body, also had multiple cracks.

Dispite Cracks raning through my frame, I seized the opportunity. Grabbing his arm, I punched him with all my might. The force sent him flying hundreds of meters, crashing through walls as he coughed up blood.

Richard, controlling my movements, forced me to follow him as we walked through the shattered remains of the castle.

During the fight, my skill had copied all the moves the emperor performed. I had learned much, but I also sensed that the situation was far from over.

The emperor, bloodied and bruised, knew he was at death's door. In desperation, He activated a demon summoning magic.

A chill ran down my spine. Something was terribly wrong. The air itself seemed to warp as the magic circle appeared beneath him, pulsing with dark energy. I felt uneasy—no, terrified. Just as I was about to sever the link between myself and Richard to stop what was coming because Richard, with a dumb smile, continued to watch as the emperor summoned the demon.

But just when I was about to broke my connection between him and me, Richard's expression shifted. His eyes widened with understanding—he too had realized that something powerful was coming from the magic circle.

In a panic, Richard forced me to use a full-power fire spell. I unleashed the flames directly at the summoning circle. The moment the fire connected, the magic circle exploded, causing a massive chain reaction. Buildings were reduced to rubble in an instant.

But amidst the devastation, a sinister laugh echoed through the air.

"This is how you welcome a guest in the Central World?" a voice said mockingly. A figure emerged from the smoke radiating a terrifying aura.

As I saw the demon's face, all the color drained from mine.

"Kill them " the emperor said and explored into bloodmist. Seeing this richered activated my skill self regeneration.

My body started to heal butvi did not feel better because the demon in front of me was none other than the one of the progenitor of demon.
