Emperor (3)

Seo Moon-yeop stuck out his tongue as he looked at the devastated emperor.

'It's a really terrible lust for power.'

There were countless examples of heroes who won the support of the people by fighting the enemy and became tyrants.

However, I have never heard of a gigantic scale like this emperor.

'Even though he died and became an undead, he was an extremely strong emperor. It must mean that he was much stronger in his lifetime.'

When Pietro, the High Priest, also became the Undead, he couldn't exert even half of his strength before he was alive.

Pietro had asserted that there was no undead that possessed the abilities they had before they were alive.

According to Seo Mun-yeop's experience, the strength of Emperor Manin-leung is equal to the high priest he faced in the final dungeon.

So, how strong did you mean before you were alive?

'It must have been a huge monster. There must have been a strong army following the emperor.'

What is the tribulation that the emperor fought against to protect the country?

If even the emperor in his lifetime was barely able to win after a lot of hard work...

'Aren't we not winning?'

If so, it would have been best to prevent the problem by killing the first high-ranking priest before the door opened.

In order to do that, you need to hear the story of the tribulation from this stubborn emperor.

However, the emperor was not normal now.

-My country is...

The emperor was experiencing a setback he had never felt in his life.

Seo Mun-yeop looked at Pietro.

The unspoken question of what to do now.

Seeing that Pietro didn't have much of an answer, it didn't seem like there was any sharp countermeasure.

But that was then.

-no! There are people!

Suddenly, the emperor shouted.

The emperor laughed madly at the two who were puzzled.

-It's you.

"what?"

Seo Moon-yeop is embarrassed.

- I will kill you and make you my people!

"Did you turn? I'm sorry, but our bodies are also fake, so even if we kill them, they won't die?"

- What, what?

"We might die because we are crazy, but would you risk your life to bring you back? There is only one life, you bastard."

The emperor trembled.

Seo Moon-yeop clicked his tongue.

"If you've lived that long, stop acting ugly and help me. Even if the people can't give it to them, they can give it as much as they want, such as delicacies from the mountains and seas, treasures of gold and silver. There are books, and oh, computer games are also possible. There are so many fun things…"

-Shut up!!

The emperor raised two greatswords and shouted.

Seeing that the emperor was ready to attack at any moment, Seo Mun-yeop also raised his shield and spear.

"Yes, come on! Because even a sparring partner can do it for you."

-bouncer! I will kill you!

The greatsword surrounded by exploding white auras swung wildly.

Quaang! bang! bang!

Every time they collided, a roar rang out.

Seo Moon-yeop kept being pushed back because he was completely inferior in Oreo-ryang, but he still avoided a head-on collision by moving left and right.

Seo Mun-yeop, who continues to endure the shock sideways.

Seeing him like that, the emperor said.

-You're arrogant. That's right, I can compare Jim's skills with weapons. It's just cheeky.

The emperor sincerely praised Seo Mun-yeop. However, the way he spoke seemed to be admirable looking at the child.

'That means that even the emperor's skills are level 100.'

When I collided, it seemed like that.

Even if he wasn't pushed out of power, the emperor was perfectly handling the greatsword, which could reveal gaps due to its slow attack speed.

It wasn't just because he was using two greatswords.

Even if you use two swords in each hand, there is a limit to your swing speed.

It was knowing how to create a situation where the opponent had to block without giving them a chance to counterattack.

He knew how to lead the so-called flow of battle.

Besides, the power of the emperor was not swordsmanship.

-But with just that, you won't be able to overcome the tribulation that will come upon you.

"You speak as if you know what kind of tribulation it is?"

Seo Moon-yeop asked a question.

- Don't know.

the emperor replied.

- Because the fight wasn't over then.

Seo Moon-yeop's eyes lit up.

It seemed that the information he wanted to hear would come out of the mouth of the emperor.

-Even Jim couldn't completely exterminate them. Expelling them was the limit, and after the fight, only ruins remained.

Seo Moon-yeop was deeply disappointed.

It is said that even the emperor felt the limit during his lifetime, so how difficult was the mission?

-You never know when they'll come again. So Jim rebuilt the country and raised an even stronger army. He followed the people's sacrifice, but it was a worthy sacrifice. You don't know when another tribulation will strike, but those ignorant and ignorant things will soon be forgotten and you don't want to sacrifice!

Kwaaang!

Crossed swords hit Seo Moon-yeop's shield in one fell swoop.

"Kuk!"

Seo Moon-yeop fell down, but after rolling over, he quickly got up again.

-Looking at that foolish look, Jim realized. After all, there is only baggage. Only Jim can defend the country!

That was the moment when the emperor fell.

The invincible army raised to prevent another disaster was used to oppress the people.

-So when you asked about it, Jim knew right away. that they will eventually invade again.

"So who are they?"

The emperor grinned.

- I'll let you know when Jim wins.

"what?"

Seo Mun-yeop's expression was distorted.

-Because you can't even overcome the burden of the present, there is no future anyway, so just die.

"I hate you to the end, really!"

-At that time, the expedition corps invaded Jim's grave and the humans, including you, who came after it. That's probably the limit on how much power you can generate. Am I right?

"...that's pretty much it, right?"

Although the number of talented superhumans increased due to Battlefield, the underground civilization perished.

Roughly speaking, the total amount of power would not be able to generate more power than that.

-If so, you will perish within a few days when the door is opened and tribulation strikes.

"...!"

Was it that much?

It didn't seem like the emperor was simply swearing.

-Like Jim's situation now, you are also fleeting and useless.

Desperate for his situation, the emperor sent a mockery to Seo Mun-yeop and Pietro.

"Be prepared. I will finish it soon."

Seo Moon-yeop, who had made up his mind, put an amplification on immortality.

Faaaaaa!!

Seo Moon-yeop instantly turned into a spiritual body.

The emperor was taken aback.

- Spiritual body?!

-Are you surprised? son of a bitch, bite this Because the corn will shake it off.

Seo Moon-yeop, who became a spiritual body, spoke triumphantly.

however,

- I was really surprised. How could a human do such a joke?

-A joke?

It was a moment when Seo Mun-yeop was moved to tears.

Wow!

Even the emperor's entire body began to be engulfed in a white aura.

Surprisingly, right after that, the emperor also became a spiritual body.

Seo Moon-yeop's eyes widened.

The Emperor who became a spirit body shrugged his shoulders.

- Well, that's what I'm talking about.

-Uh, how...

- You're cheeky. Did you think Jim couldn't reach the level of a spiritual body like you?

-No, you didn't transform into a spiritual body when you fought before, right?

Seo Mun-yeop was stunned and shouted.

In the past, when attacking Maninling, the emperor had never transformed into a spiritual body.

-Seeing you ask such a question, you are truly in a toddler stage.

-what?

-In the spirit state, the waste of aura is getting worse, so why would Jim stick with this form?

Only then did Seo Moon-yeop realize that the 120-second time limit was due to aura consumption.

-In the past, you could fight for hours even in this state, but that aura disappeared after becoming undead. At most, 15 minutes is the limit.

-·······.

Seo Moon-yeop, whose limit was two minutes at most, became sullen.

The emperor's spiritual body began to change.

It was as if the spirit body was slowly being released from the tips of the toes.

Knees, torso, neck, head.

The emperor, whose spiritual body was freed, had both arms restored.

However, the two great swords in his hands were still in a spiritual state.

-uh? What is it?

Surprisingly, the emperor only spiritualized his weapon.

- You would have seen it?

the emperor asked.

Then I remembered.

During the invasion of Maninling, the emperor wielded a strangely shiny greatsword.

I thought it was because of the concentration of a large amount of aura, but now I see that only the weapon has become a spiritual body.

Whiik!

The emperor lightly swung his greatsword.

Aaaaaaaaaagh!

The impact was never light.

- Whoops!

Even though he blocked it with his shield, Seo Mun-yeop felt the shock as if his soul would be blown away.

-In that way, even if the weapons collide, the soul is also damaged.

Being ridiculed by the emperor, Seo Mun-yeop went round.

It was then.

"Move."

Pietro stepped out.

Papa papa papa!

Dozens of magic circles floated in the air.

Pietro unleashes his special move, Heroic Spirit Strike.

- Hoo.

The Emperor smiled.

and······.

***

"Oh, fuck!"

Seo Mun-yeop, who came out of the connection module, yelled.

Pietro also came out with a confused expression.

In conclusion, it was a complete defeat without even half a penny worth.

"At least, if I had been able to mobilize even a high-ranking heroic spirit, I could have dealt a blow."

Pietro had a frustrated expression on his face.

The Queen comforted the two of them.

"You found out a lot, though."

The queen was watching the fight through a screen.

It wasn't just the queen.

Several underground people, including 'Observation', were watching on the screen.

Seo Moon-yeop distorted his expression.

"Who is having a hard time watching even a World Cup match?"

"Shall we join?"

The queen asked in embarrassment.

Pietro shook his head.

"I don't think it's a matter of how many people are included. I don't think the emperor will be convinced even if we lead a large group of people and win with man-in-the-middle tactics."

"That's right."

Seo Moon-yeop was convinced as he recalled the weapon spiritualization shown by the emperor.

The spirit-embodied greatsword cut everything into pieces.

As in the case of Maninling, they needed colleagues who attacked directly with weapons, but the underground people who only used Auras were unlikely to be eaten.

This is because it was confirmed through Pietro's heroic spirit strike that the aura was annihilated by cutting it with a spiritualized weapon.

"Because the emperor is in a state of desperation, persuasion is impossible, and I think we have no choice but to keep challenging him until he feels better."

Seo Mun-yeop also sympathized with Pietro's words.

"Okay, let's keep trying."

Seo Moon-yeop felt gloomy when he reaffirmed the emperor's strength, which he had seen at the Tomb of Man-in-Lung, but felt more curiosity than despair.

'How did you get that weapon to become a spirit body?'

To say that only a part of it could be transformed into a spiritual body was to see a new world for Seo Moon-yeop.

'I'll have to try it too.'

So the challenge began.

The fight that started after connecting again lasted quite a while.

This time, it was because he just fought without transforming into a spiritual body.

The emperor's greatsword, which was incarnated as a spirit, fought by stabbing and throwing spears while avoiding collisions as much as possible.

-Can we win then?

The emperor mocked Seo Mun-yeop.

Meanwhile, Seo Moon-yeop exchanged glances with Pietro.

In an instant, Pietro unleashed a heroic spirit blow.

and at that moment.

Dig!

Seo Mun-yeop also quickly transformed into a spiritual body and rushed at it.

Seo Mun-yeop, who joined forces with the spirits covered in auras.

The emperor grinned and crossed the two greatswords and drew the character 10 .

And I got to see the amazing emperor's special move.

Cut the two great swords vertically and horizontally, cross them again and cut again.

Repeat it infinitely at a tremendous speed!

chump chump chump!!

Numerous ten crosses of light were embroidered in the air.

Heroic spirits were sliced ​​indiscriminately.

Surprised, Seo Mun-yeop hurriedly threw his spear through the gaps in the numerous crosses.

A spear flew through the gap exquisitely, but

Tuong!

It was again blocked by a cross-crossed greatsword.

- I'll compliment you on what you just did.

With those words, Seo Mun-yeop was cut to pieces.

When he left the connection module, Pietro was also with him.

"This operation will not work. My heroic spirit's strike itself has no power. The spirits couldn't stand it and fell out too easily. If stronger ancestors had helped me, I would have survived even if I was cut once."

Seo Moon-yeop thought of the emperor's fighting style again and rethought his tactics.

conclusions drawn thereafter.

"Can I follow that too?"

Being a perfect spiritual body was extremely disadvantageous.

When weapons collide, the emperor is not particularly damaged, but Seo Moon-yeop is hit. It was the difference between a complete spiritual body and a weapon spiritual body.

However, Seo Mun-yeop was worth trying once it was possible to transform into a weapon.
