Chapter 360 Chicken Game (8)
In the middle of the capital.
flipped over
Seeing the soldiers in confusion, the captain of the guard shouted.
“Everyone, don’t panic! The Dark Cloud only temporarily dyes the surroundings in darkness, but has no further killing power. Don’t break ranks. If you keep a certain distance from each other and be wary of your surroundings, the royal mages will quickly remove the darkness that dyes Marin.”
It was the right decision.
but.
There was a problem.
Roman Dmitri used Dark Cloud and Blackout at the same time.
For the wizards of Marin, solving the blackout was the first priority, and inside Marin, Haomun’s spies installed magic devices that amplified the effect of the Dark Cloud throughout the capital.
Even if Marine’s magic power is great, it takes at least 30 minutes to resolve the situation.
That time, which could be said to be short, now has a completely different meaning.
sudden.
“Cheak!”
in the dark.
A scream was heard.
Apparently, I just checked the appearance of a colleague right in front of me, but in the blink of an eye, I was sucked into the darkness with a scream of agony.
In an instant, goose bumps all over my body.
The soldier raised his weapon with a pale face, but the surroundings stained with darkness only vaguely showed the shapes of his comrades.
It was then.
Flash.
head blown off
Due to a sudden outburst, the soldier collapsed without even screaming.
Death was serial.
When a comrade was found dying in the immediate vicinity, the messenger of death soon took the witness’s life as well.
At first, the guard commander’s cry was apparently heard.
Marine’s soldiers tried to fight the darkness as calmly as possible, but at some point they noticed something strange about the rapidly dwindling numbers.
water.
“… Ughhh!”
footing.
The body was stepped on.
It was difficult to see because of the darkness, but dozens of corpses were already piled on the floor.
plunged into confusion
The soldiers screamed.
From then on, it was uncontrolled and the ranks were completely disrupted by the desperate soldiers.
“Oh, no! Everyone stay in line! If we fall into chaos, it will only be as Roman Dmitry wishes!”
the guardsman screamed.
but.
It didn’t work.
The effect of the dark cloud not only blocked the view, but the voice was not transmitted properly.
Still, the soldiers around the captain of the guard tried to understand and react to the voice, but the soldiers outside could not maintain their sanity just by having their backs to each other.
In an instant, the ranks collapsed.
It was obviously not so dark that they couldn’t see an inch ahead, but that alone made the soldiers unable to deal with the reality in front of them.
how.
I didn’t understand.
How could Roman Dmitri be free in this darkness?
The Dark Cloud’s penalty applies to everyone, but the demons rampaging in the dark seemed unrestricted.
suddenly.
A rumor came to the head of the guard.
I heard that during the war with Hector, Roman Dmitri unilaterally slaughtered Hector’s soldiers in the dark mountains. At that time, people admired Roman Dmitri’s tremendous strength, while ridiculing Hector’s kingdom for being weak. But that wasn’t it. Even I, an aura swordsman, cannot pinpoint the movement like a ghost walking through the darkness.’
Kwak.
I grabbed my sword.
Everything was out of common sense.
The one that came to Marin.
To put this ridiculous plan into action alone.
When even the captain of the guard was in a mental crisis, a voice giving hope to the soldiers of Valhalla was heard.
“Moonlight.”
Imperial wizards.
Their magic began to light up the darkness.
* * *
Dark Cloud.
Disarming it would take some time, but using magic to light up the darkness was another matter.
Moonlight.
The darkness has been pushed back.
Although not a perfect solution, I began to see some of the surroundings like a bright moon rising.
“… Ugh.”
“Are these all corpses?”
People rolled their eyes.
surrounding landscape.
It was truly miserable.
Apparently, at most 3-4 minutes had passed, but Marine soldiers were strewn about everywhere in sight.
It was hard to even fathom how many died.
There seemed to be more than hundreds of beings that could be confirmed by sight, and Roman Dmitri was nowhere to be seen.
“Roman Dmitry! Make an appearance! If you are a true swordsman, come forward and take my sword!”
Royal Night.
one of them shouted.
Knowing that he would not respond to such a remark, he had no choice but to shout.
however.
“When I was walking in the dark, people always had similar misunderstandings. The illusion that there will be odds outside the darkness.”
“There!”
“Attack!”
Roman Dmitry.
he appeared
It was a strange figure as if the darkness was riding on him, and the soldiers, including the Royal Knight, rushed at the idea that this was an opportunity.
Only Roman Dmitry was involved in this operation.
The strategy of walking in the dark only held back Roman Dmitri’s ankles, even Ares, who had defeated Valhalla’s No. 1 ranking.
laughed
Looking at the advancing enemies, Roman Dmitri raised his mana.
“Why don’t you see that darkness is just a small factor that makes things easier?”
Pooh.
Blood spattered.
After smashing the head of the Royal Knight who rushed in from the front, Roman Dmitri dug into the opponent’s camp and sprinkled blood.
It was an instant for the people who had been showing good momentum to collapse.
Roman Dmitri strode through enemy lines and slaughtered the beings he encountered one after another.
massacre.
It was one-sided.
Horrible screams and death accompanied the restless movement.
Royal Night?
Tens of thousands of soldiers?
It didn’t make any sense.
When Roman Dmitri lived as a tattoo, he overcame many deaths worse than this.
The feeling at that time was boiling. When massacres were carried out in the dark, the Murim people trembled at the reputation of the ghost.
“die!”
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Guard Captain.
he ran like crazy
4 star aura test.
If he had been born in a small country, he would have occupied a considerable position, but he showed a strong intent to kill Roman Dmitri.
It was perfect timing, he thought.
As the Royal Knights and soldiers charged at the same time, Roman Dmitri took a break and believed that the cost of his ally’s life was enough to give him a single shot.
and.
Beetle.
The world was shaken.
He had his head on the ground before he knew what had happened to him.
Blood flowed.
above the sight.
I saw Roman Dmitry.
“You are not guilty. The only problem is that the master you serve is against me.”
That is.
Kwajik.
It was the last appearance the captain of the guard remembered before he was alive.
* * *
Valhalla Imperial Palace.
The people gathered there were in a state of unrest.
One of the leaders muttered in a low voice to the report that Roman Dmitri was carrying out a massacre.
“… Aren’t we all going to die like this?”
“Where did you hear that unlucky sound!”
“My opponent is Roman Dmitry. Even Ares, who had been taught by him, defeated Cesar, the number 1 ranked player in Valhalla, but who could stop him in Valhalla? The problem was getting him by his last name in the first place. If you were against Roman Dmitri, it was something you shouldn’t have thought about with common sense.”
Even the Marquis Belfir’s scolding.
The leadership could not hide their uneasiness.
Just now.
When an imperial knight notified of Roman Dmitri’s visit, Valhalla allowed him to enter and exit according to the Emperor’s instructions.
In fact, the leader’s remarks were to criticize the Emperor of Valhalla, but he was terrified and couldn’t make a rational decision for a moment.
Normally, the Emperor of Valhalla would have ordered the death penalty.
Knowing this, the Marquis of Belfir looked at the Emperor of Valhalla, but strangely, the Emperor of Valhalla did not seem to care.
“The pitiful things.”
The Valhalla Emperor laughed.
He leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.
“Roman Dmitri has always gone beyond common sense. And during the war with Cronus, he single-handedly ran into an army of 300,000 and cut off the head of an 8th-circle wizard. From then on, I thought that this moment might come. Dmitry is still a small country. Even the emperor of the empire cannot be free from the possibility of assassination when an individual is equipped with such a weapon.”
assassination.
It was a very simple way to put an end to the war.
Especially if it’s a strong man like Roman Dmitry.
By directly dealing with the Emperor of Valhalla, the civil war in Valhalla can be turned into a rebel atmosphere at once.
It was to be expected.
King’s Way.
I walked the thorny road.
The Emperor of Valhalla was not complacent enough to even think of such a possibility.
“Since Roman Dmitri entered Marine. He will definitely appear here.”
asserted
Leaders were in a state of uneasiness.
If Roman Dmitri really appeared, their lives could not be guaranteed.
It was then.
Sigh.
The door is open.
The place that must have been guarded by the knights of the imperial family opened and a man with a bloodstained face entered.
“I know you don’t run away. Are you sure you have the confidence to survive?”
he’s right
It was Roman Dmitry.
* * *
Dark Cloud.
it was a fake
After creating confusion with darkness, Roman Dmitri headed straight for the imperial palace.
Finally.
I met the Emperor of Valhalla.
Contrary to his thin and weak appearance, he did not appear frightened like the other nobles.
said Roman Dmitry.
“I was thinking the same as you. From the moment the best swordsman in Valhalla fell to Ares, no, even before that. If I personally go and attempt an assassination, there was a question about whether the Empire would be able to stop it.”
this operation.
It was kind of an experiment.
Before dealing with Cronus, he tried to gauge the empire’s strength against Valhalla.
“If you can’t show me the answer to my question. The Emperor of Valhalla will die here today.”
justification for the assassination.
Valhalla Emperor’s atrocities were granted.
Even if he suddenly loses his head, the people of Valhalla will not criticize Roman Dmitri.
walked forward
The road is open.
The nobles did not dare to stop Roman Dmitri with frightened faces.
It was then.
chuck.
chuckle.
Behind the Emperor of Valhalla.
The swordsmen who had been standing there with indifferent faces stepped forward.
They were different from other normal tests.
The moment Roman Dmitri came within range, their presence faded and they appeared right in front of their noses.
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
It was fast.
Roman Dmitri blocked their attack and cut the opponent with a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye.
Flash.
Blood spattered.
An attack that completely rips through the chest.
Just when he thought he had easily dealt with one of the dozens, the emperor’s swordsman swung his sword at Roman Dmitri with his heart ripped out.
It was an attack that could not be predicted by common sense.
Roman Dmitri reacted quickly and blocked it, but it was quite bizarre to see the swordsman continuously attacking.
“They are immortal swordsmen. It is an existence that cannot be killed by any attack.”
The Valhalla Emperor smirked.
like he said.
The immortal swordsmen did not die.
The tattered skin on his chest got entangled again before he knew it, and pushed Roman Dmitri back with a normal appearance.
and.
“curse.”
“Curs.”
Passs-
Sooner or later.
Imperial wizards appeared around them.
They suddenly appeared with a sandstorm and cast a curse on Roman Dmitri with dark eyes in the darkness of the robe.
The aura of the curse caught Roman Dmitri’s ankles.
He tried to hinder Roman Dmitri with magic that lowered his physical ability, not his clearly visible power.
It was fun.
surely.
The power of the empire wasn’t all that it seemed.
In fact, it was natural.
If ranking determines a country’s national power, there was no reason for any country to reveal its own strength through ranking.
Because it’s an exposure of power.
In other words, Cesar may be the best swordsman in Valhalla in the sun, but Valhalla is not called an empire with Cesar alone.
Immortal Swordsman.
Imperial wizards.
It was part of a special force.
but.
That was it.
Just because he didn’t die didn’t mean he could stop Roman Dmitri.
Pat-
The curse has been lifted.
After destroying the power of magic, he cut down the immortal swordsman who stood in his way and rushed towards the Valhalla emperor.
that it doesn’t die.
It didn’t solve all the problems.
Even the immortal swordsman showed a gap when he received a fatal wound, and there was no problem in narrowing the distance to the Emperor of Valhalla for that amount of time.
It was an appalling sight.
Even though immortal swordsmen who had their arms cut off, their chests torn, and their legs lost clinging to each other, Roman Dmitri managed to reach the Emperor of Valhalla.
Moment.
Parss.
The figure of the Emperor of Valhalla was scattered.
Just as the royal mages had appeared, he, who had been scattered by the sandstorm, reconstituted himself and appeared on the wall of the meeting room.
“Roman Dmitry. It was a good enough time.”
softly.
he.
It disappeared behind a wall.
When he disappeared as if absorbed by a wall, the immortal swordsman and the royal wizards were scattered in a sandstorm just like him.
It was as expected.
this operation.
I didn’t think the assassination would succeed.
I wanted to check the power of the empire, and that was incidental, but the true purpose was separate.
settled situation.
“Hiccup.”
right next door.
I heard someone’s hiccups.
The hero of the hiccup hurriedly covered his mouth, but his wide-eyed eyes met Roman Dmitri.
He was one of the leaders.
and next to it.
“… .”
The pale-faced Marquis of Belfir was looking at Roman Dmitri.
