Episode 128: Dream in the game becomes reality

32. A crazy person appears (3)

Warlocks are completely uncharted territory.

From what I've heard, it's much stronger than wizards and knights of the same level, so it would be better to dismiss it as a semi-8th circle level.

To be honest, even when we were Auror Masters and the 7th Circle, we were able to beat up enemies of one level higher, so we should be able to defeat them without difficulty, but there is no harm in being careful.

So we didn't rush to approach him and confronted him.

"I've seen a lot of people bragging about being an Aura Master or an Archmage of the 7th Circle, right? However, this is the first time I have seen beings as strong as you, including the power of magic and auras. "How can there be such a difference in skills?"

It seemed like he didn't think that we, who were known to be in our early 20s, were grandmasters of the 8th circle.

I said, twisting the corner of my mouth in response to the warlock's question.

"Because the levels are different."

"Haha, what do you mean by the commonly called genius? It's fun. fun."

These types of villains always seem to have something in common.

That means talking a lot.

I sent a sign to Arcia, and she immediately raised the holy sword.

"Ecks!"

"You don't have to."

"Ha!"

I stopped her when she tried to use the spell that Ivril had chanted in the previous saint contest.

Next, the Holy Sword, which was emitting brilliant light, converted Arsia's Aura into a Saint Blade, strengthened it, and released it.

The attack stretched out in a straight line like a laser beam, and the guy tried to block it with black smoke.

-Cow!

But isn't there such a thing as compatibility?

In front of the Saint Blade, its defense was too weak, and the white beam pierced everything in a straight line, including the black smoke.

At the same time, black flames with a terrifying energy rushed towards us like a counter, but they were neatly offset by Arcia's sword strike, which did not let down its guard.

"ha… … . It's really unlucky. Why would I meet people like you in a place like this? Moreover, since he even has a holy sword, it's as if the goddess sent a judge for me."

Michael Gale lost his right arm in Arcia's first attack.

Nevertheless, the guy did not lose his relaxed expression.

Smoke continued to rise from the right arm that was torn off by the holy sword attack, and it looked as if the troll was using high-speed regeneration.

However, the guy's arm did not regenerate, but I don't know if it was due to the characteristics of the Holy Sword or just a visual effect.

Although they only exchanged blows, it was enough to confirm the difference in power.

-gulp.

The complexions of the people who were frightened by the appearance of the warlock brightened.

People who will be executed later anyway, even if they live now.

"But I can't die here. "I have a lot of work to do."

As if she had no intention of listening anymore, Arcia swung the holy sword again and released saint blades one after another, and I also used the 7th circle anti-magic magic of the light attribute, raising the power to the limit.

"As expected, the power is unusual! "What do you want to dissect!?"

But our blow did not reach him.

-Quaang!

This is because something black suddenly appeared through the ceiling of the royal palace, protecting it and taking our blow.

"Tsk!"

That was Vanguard.

10 very large Vanguards.

The attacks were powerful enough to break through the Vanguard's defense, but blocking them was not normal.

So, you looked at Mangyeong's information with an expression that asked, "What are you doing?"

[Implanted Enhanced Vanguard]-By extracting the spine, brain, aura point, and aura rod of a high-ranking knight and transplanting them into vanguard equipment, the high-purity aura was strengthened with force without delay and excellent agility was obtained.

- Shows 50% higher output and 30% higher reaction speed than high-ranking knights wearing armor-type vanguard equipment.

However, I was left speechless by the disturbing content that made me doubt my eyes.

Humans were dismantled and planted in Vanguard equipment?

It wasn't something a normal person would think about.

"You crazy bastard."

Michael Gale, who was even more elated as he was escorted by 10 implanted enhanced Vanguards, spoke proudly.

"Wow, you really have a good sense of vision. Did you notice this too? Haha, what do you think? Unlike the armor worn over the human body, the sense of unity is amazing, isn't it? Isn't this the final form of Vanguard? Five of these guys will be enough to kill an Auror Master. "The paradigm of war is changing."

"I understand why the warlock must be killed."

They were beings that trampled on the dignity of humanity.

"what's the problem? "You guys also had fun committing murder just now?"

"I just met an enemy and fought for my life. "I'm not playing with it like a toy for self-gratification like you."

Originally, since there was a lot I didn't know about the warlock, I didn't know what they would do, so I tried to eliminate the warlock only with long-distance attacks without sticking to them.

But there will be no end to that.

Arcia and I, believing in our own abilities, jumped forward and burrowed into the arms of the implanted Vanguard.

-Quaaang! bang! bang!

And we said we didn't care whether the enemy was strengthened or not, and proceeded to destroy the implanted Vanguard without mercy.

"What the hell are you doing, you humans!"

When the 10th implantable Vanguard was destroyed and rolled around on the floor without being able to survive for even a minute, the smile on the elated guy disappeared and a bewildered expression appeared.

It was definitely faster and more powerful than a typical Vanguard.

But is it because we have lost our humanity and become part of the machine?

The disadvantage was that there were almost no abnormal movements that only humans had and the response was simple.

"This is replacing humans? "I guess it's impossible?"

Arcia and I walked forward with long strides.

The confident guy took a step back without realizing it as he saw us closing the distance.

"Where!"

Michael Gale stuck his hand into the injured part of his arm, and a huge amount of blood poured out.

The blood soon became a strangely shaped spear... … .

-Sigh!

"Oops!"

Arcia swung the holy sword and cut out the guy's heart along with the spear.

In addition, I burned the entire body of the warlock who fell to his knees in shock with flame magic.

"Kkkkkk! "Ugh!"

Even though his heart was pierced and burned, he reacted in such a way that you couldn't tell whether he was laughing or screaming in pain.

[Running away… … .] [Running away… … .] [Running away… … .]And at the same time, the information on the implanted Vanguards that had fallen nearby all changed like that.

A scene similar to the one seen in the past war with the Croesian Empire.

Although the scale was small, it was clearly an explosion of magical energy.

-Quaaaaaang!

The time taken from realizing the incident to the explosion was 1 comma second.

The power of each self-destruction was comparable to 7th circle level magic.

The royal castle of Robert's Kingdom shook, and a bright blue light that shook the sight encroached on the royal palace.

"… … ."

A terrifying power that shook the royal castle like threshing.

However, despite the powerful suicide attack, there was no change in the royal palace where we were standing.

This is because I suppressed the explosion by unfolding the 8-circle Excellent Shield that I had memorized at the last moment in the reverse direction.

"what… … ?"

Michael Gale, a warlock who wriggles without dying even though his original form has already become unrecognizable.

"you… … no way… … ."

-Quaaang!

And the guy who was reacting questionably opened his mouth as if he realized something.

'Kwajik', Arcia plunged the holy sword into his head.

"It won't be the end… … ."

-Tuk!

Even though his heart was pierced and he was reduced to a burnt charcoal soot, he was still moving, but he finally stopped moving, perhaps because his head was destroyed, which could not be helped.

"Does this mean you have more colleagues?"

I had to click my tongue at the very disturbing last line that it wasn't the end.

I didn't want to let him live as he was so dangerous, so I immediately killed him, but I thought that maybe he was a liaison for something.

'Even if you become a noble with great power, does that mean there are still many things you don't know about the world?'

I guess I'll have to do a detailed investigation into this matter through Blue Moon.

"I lived, I lived."

While I was fighting with the warlock, the Emperor Moon, who was holding his breath, the ministers who followed him, and the guards all collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

I laughed out loud looking at them.

"What do you say is good? "A warlock came out among you."

As a result, they are now in a situation where it is difficult for them to die comfortably.

It was an unexpected ending for both me and Princess Sia.

I froze the black wizard's charred body and stored it in an empty extra space ring.

I couldn't bring myself to put him in the subspace I mainly use.

If the body is handed over to the shrine, an investigation will be conducted in Roberto's kingdom.

It's good to have the country back, but Princess Xia Lin will be suffering for a while.

"Your Majesty! Are you okay!?"

Belatedly, troops rushed in to protect the Empress Dowager Moon, but since the Empress Dowager Moon and the ministers were in my hands, there was nothing they could do.

Now all that's left is to clean up afterward.

* * *

[Duke Adrian El Lawrence and Marquis Arcia Klein, who brought the rebellion of Roberto's Kingdom to its origin through a bold operation to break through the elite royal castle.] [Roberto's Kingdom was in chaos. Recovering quickly with the return of Princess Xia Lin.] [The traitors' territories and titles were confiscated, and all were placed under the direct control of the King. The emergence of an unprecedentedly strong royal authority in the history of Roberto's kingdom.] [Traitors transported to the Holy Land rather than executed? What on earth happened?] [A warlock was caught between the traitors? Is there any truth to the rumor?]The end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Roberto that was originally thought was to cleanly blow off the heads of the Empress Dowager and other top officials.

In addition, it was judged that if all the property, land, and titles held by each feudal lord were confiscated from the royal family, it would be possible to strengthen the power of the Xia dynasty, although it would be difficult to manage for a while.

Although things took some time, Princess Xia Lin was able to return to the castle she wanted and began to crack down on the inside.

"thank you. "If it weren't for Adrian, we would have had to watch this country being ravaged by the hands of a warlock, rather than regaining the throne."

While browsing the online news during refreshments, I waved my hand at Princess Xia's greeting.

"Because I also gained something."

I rented the island she had promised me.

However, because he was called to the shrine from time to time and priests came from all over, he could not just be happy that he had achieved what he wanted.

"It is fortunate that no traces of additional warlocks other than Michael Gale have been found."

Given the circumstances, the warlock in question might have a friend, so in the Holy Land, I searched Roberto's kingdom like a tooth.

The good news was that there was a warlock in the group of traitors, and if she had been even remotely related to the princess, she would have been investigated as well.

The story that there was a warlock among the people of Empress Moon leaked out and spread, and thanks to this, she became a hero who saved the people from the hands of the warlock.

"You're going back to Reinharts Kingdom, right?"

"Yes, I plan to take a quick tour of Ophelia Island today and then return right away."

Although she didn't say anything, she seemed quite anxious.

Well, since there are not enough trustworthy people in the kingdom, it is quite possible.

In reality, it was only commoners who offered a helping hand to her when she was in difficult times.

"Sir Iena."

"Did you find it?"

"omg!"

So I thought I'd give her an escort for a while.

At my call, a woman dressed in a typical assassin's outfit appeared accompanied by black smoke.

He was one of the assassins who broke into the royal castle with me to capture the Empress Dowager.

At her appearance, Princess Xia Lin swallowed her breath and took a step back while sitting on her chair.

I gave him an apologetic look and introduced a person named Iena.

"I'll attach her and a few other shadows as escorts for a while. Rest assured, she is her Auror Master too."

She looked puzzled at my words, but bowed her head and said thank you.

"The world is in an uproar trying to find out what faction the warlocks belong to, but I think Adrian has as many secrets as they do."

Auror Master is not the name of anyone's dog, and it kept coming up one by one, so it was natural to react that way.

"I trust you will keep my secret."

"of course. "I will forever cherish the grace that Adrian has given me, and I will keep everything I have seen as my own memories."

When I nodded in satisfaction, she lowered her head again.

"thank you."

A king or a person who will become a king should not easily bow his head.

I quickly got her up.

"If you need my help at any time, please let me know. "I will step forward."

"It's reassuring. Then, whenever I need help, I won't hesitate."

In this way, the incident in Roberto's kingdom came to an end.

Now all that's left is to use the reward you got from her.

'It's tourmaline… … .'
