Chapter 164 – The Last Fight
Eleonor reached beyond the emperor’s headquarters and reached out to the entire ecliptic.
Of course, her body was still standing next to the princess, but the emperor used a kind of mental connection to access the unconscious of all humans.
No matter how talented Eleonor was, it would have been impossible without the princess’s strengthening magic.
Not to mention that she managed to do this without the help of Magical Jin.
She realized how absurd the miasma power she borrowed from him was.
“Everyone! If you can hear the voices, please help! Lend me your strength so that I can defeat the invincible emperor!”
Eleonor desperately spoke to the spirits of the imperial people.
But there is little response.
The strongest emotion felt by them was still awe for the emperor.
To dare to challenge the emperor, one dared not think of such a thing even in a dream.
The emotions of trembling and wriggling in fear were vividly conveyed.
“Kuh…!”
In the mental connections that were woven like telephone wires, Eleonor felt the mighty dominion of the Emperor.
The emperor could not sever the thread of magic that he was extorting from ten million people.
It goes without saying how huge the Emperor is to them.
It is not only the effect of brainwashing due to miasma.
Everyone in the empire knows the greatness and authority of the emperor, who constantly learns from a young age.
And when time passes and he starts his social life, he realizes how small he is in the rigid caste system that has been maintained for 500 years.
The whole military base is turned upside down at the word that a powerful person is visiting.
After experiencing a few times, such as listening to an annoying boss’s scolding with an apologetic face, everyone is bound to accept the reality.
‘Ah, the world is like this.’ I said.
That old and fundamental heart of resignation is not a part that can be helped with a single word from Eleonol.
Any speech is useless.
Even Eleanor, who reached the hearts of the people of the zodiac with his outstanding talents, was never easy to break the chain of rule that had been built for five hundred years.
That would have been without the help of the princess.
“People, deny the Emperor’s authority! Break her bondage!!”
Eleanor, who grabbed the link between the people and the emperor, ordered.
Finally, the black miasma carried in her voice penetrated the hearts of the people.
It was fragmentary and only one word, but it exerted the same power as the hypnotic voice of the princess.
When her work fell, the hearts of the people who had not budged even though she tried so hard changed at once.
It was as simple as cutting off a complicatedly twisted knot with a single knife.
Tuck, tuck…
With the sound of a thread breaking, the emperor loses his control over the people.
Not all of the 10 million+ connections were severed.
However, with just one word, more than half of the people regained their freedom.
It was a power worthy of shuddering.
“Ugh…”
As soon as all the miasma in her body was consumed, she returned to reality from the spirit world.
In a short moment, Eleanor exerted an unconventional influence on the entire ecliptic.
Red blood flowed from her mouth as she sat down on her knees.
If, like the emperor, she had the power to recover from any wounds and even die, she would be able to use any kind of magic without thinking about her body.
Eleonol was human.
She suffered great internal injuries in exchange for regaining freedom for the people of the imperial capital and greatly reducing the power of the emperor.
I will not be able to add any more help in this fight.
‘This is how… I can’t help the princess. I can’t move a single limb.’
“Earl…!! How can it be, to forcibly intervene in someone else’s strategic magic!”
The emperor shouted something, but nothing like that was heard.
Eleanor barely stood up on her trembling arms.
She looked at her princess’s back with her bluish face.
“Nice job. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to approach you so easily.”
“Please be careful…”
He was close to the emperor and her bomb.
A bomb that looks like it’s going to explode any moment.
He reached out and placed his palm on a huge, ominous hum of metal.
An ominous feeling ran down Eleonol’s spine.
“Go… Princess! Be careful!!”
“It’s okay. I just stopped it.”
“Uh, stop? A device that stops so easily… Is it?”
Opened his mouth
As the princess said, there was no sound from the metal anymore.
It seemed to have stopped working, like a car that had been turned off.
But was it something that could be solved so easily?
As it was none other than the emperor’s last-minute means, I thought it was something more thoroughly defended.
“It can’t be!”
A cracking voice rang out.
Was the emperor
“Well, the detonation really stopped. I only made it possible to operate the controller with my miasma! You princess, what the hell did you do?”
Cried the emperor, visibly embarrassed.
That look was never smoke.
It was a look of genuine bewilderment, the expression one would show when something he firmly believed to be the truth of the world was denied.
On the other hand, the princess was calm.
“I just took the initiative by sucking in your miasma, figuring out the structure, and exhaling moderately similarly. I don’t need these things now, so I’ll take measures so they don’t explode forever.”
“You sucked in the miasma… Released it at will?”
A mouse that stepped on a mousetrap wouldn’t look as dazed as the emperor now.
“Lie, don’t lie! It’s impossible! Anyone can interfere with the miasma particles that have been directed once…”
“Why did you ask if you’re going to lie even if I tell you the truth?”
“It can’t be! It can’t be… I see, that’s your ability.”
The emperor, who had been in vehement denial, muttered as if he had remembered something.
It looked like he was trying to convince himself.
“Your ability is specialized only in interfering with my miasma! That’s why Earl Greypoint and Cain Siberia are also free from my control. Yes, that’s it! Otherwise, it would be impossible. It is cunning that you dare to deceive me with nonsense. That’s right.”
“Yeah, think as you like. Anyway, your self-destruct operation has completely failed. Would you like to punch me next time?”
“It seems that I underestimated you too much. I did not want to tolerate even the slightest variable, so I prepared a sure method, but now I will give up my remaining tricks. I will crush you with overwhelming miasma!”
He just stared blankly at the emperor with the look in his eyes, ‘Is that going to work?’
I can assure you, it was the first look she received.
The emperor had to suppress the suffocating anger that welled up in his chest.
“…Having the Earl of Greypoint cut my strength was admirable. It was an amazing feat. But, on the contrary, it shows you your limits! You know that fighting me head-on is difficult. That’s right, isn’t it?”
“No. I just want to stop you from holding on…”
“No more bravado! I am the one who has been dealing with miasma for the longest time on earth! I am the one who was chosen with a great will and the one who will destroy mankind! I am the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one!!”
Along with the emperor’s desperate cry, a dark aura wrapped around her body.
Just as she said that she was the miasma itself, the miasma was intense enough to be terrifying.
An aura with destructive power that could pierce any magic began to rotate around her body in hundreds and thousands of lumps.
If such miasma attacked, no powerful creature would be able to withstand it.
Even Eleonol, who was far behind the princess, felt a hideous feeling pierce her skin to such an extent that her body trembled.
“If you’re the only one who can kill me, so am I! I’m the only one who can kill you! Like this!!”
-Kurrureung!!
At the emperor’s beckoning, a black storm raged and attacked the princess.
If the night sky were pouring down, would it be similar to this scene?
Just one drop of miasma was enough to kill a human instantly, and like a tidal wave, completely surrounded the princess and clamped her body.
His body was completely hidden from view.
“How about it! It’s an attack that no one can survive as long as it’s a living thing! Count, watch as the man you chose for abandoning your monarch is torn to pieces!”
“…”
The Emperor shouted confidently, but Eleonor did not scream.
Because he believed in the princess.
He believed that whatever he did, no matter how absurd, must be for a good reason.
Eleanor remembered how, when she was still in an uncomfortable relationship with the princess, when she was in the hunting corps, he bowed down and asked her to save his men.
The princess did not escape the emperor’s attack.
Then obviously he’s fine.
Eleonor looked at where he stood with determined eyes.
And after a while
The Emperor’s fierce attack is over.
When the turbulent air calms down and everything is over.
The princess stood in her place casually.
He paid no attention to the miasma that swept over his body, only shaking off the disheveled hem of his clothes.
“Unbelievable…”
The princess was unharmed.
No, he’s not just unharmed.
Both of his hands were glowing black.
Despite the terrifying attack, the surrounding damage was strangely low, and that was the reason.
The princess took in all the miasma from the emperor, compressed it, and absorbed it into his palm without leaving a single fragment.
“It’s filthy and tasteless. I wonder if your personality was transferred to the miasma.”
“Wh-what…”
“Are you the poison itself?”
The princess moved her step towards the blue emperor.
Since it was a close distance in the first place, it took only a few steps to get right in front of the emperor’s eyes.
The emperor has no room to retreat.
Driven into her corner, she was muttering something of her own.
“No, it can’t be like this… There’s no way the difference would be this far.
“I am the master of poison.”
It seemed that there was no need to listen to the emperor’s monologues.
The princess sighed coldly and stretched out her palm toward the emperor.
