Chapter 162 – The Last Fight
Just as Bentley Roquist, who had once fought the Princess, had lost his head, the bodies of the six fingers had turned to dust and disappeared.
“Wow, I’m scared to death.”
Eliminating all the emperor’s aides with a single accord.
When Gongju-in shuddered at the sight, which was hard to believe even as an ally, King Paryun shrugged his shoulders.
“You know that, too. It’s not just Jim’s strength. If it weren’t for your strengthening magic, even Jim would have struggled quite a bit.”
“Well, I knew roughly from the time you became a teammate. In the future, there will be no struggles in terms of combat.”
The reinforcement magic cast by the princess on her companions exerts different effects on each individual.
In the case of the king of charades, it was a simple effect that amplified the amount of mana in his body for an instant.
If you have a lot of strength, you don’t have to rely on your residual skills.
It only temporarily increased the amount of magic power, but it was enough for the strongest warrior, the King of Fair Wheels.
“Don’t rush. No one knows what awaits inside the main palace, but anyway, let’s not give the enemy time.”
“That’s right. Our mission is to ensure that the princess can fight the emperor with all her strength. There is no time to be idle.”
When the King of Fair Wheels gave a brief instruction, ‘Dancing with Wolves’ nodded.
They broke down the main palace gate and entered the interior.
I looked at the scenery inside the Eleonor.
It was as desolate as a dry desert.
“Didn’t you say that there are many animals and plants inside the main palace, Elroy?”
“It looks quite different from before. It was a beautiful garden when I visited before. It probably changed its appearance in preparation for getting rid of us.”
“That’s right, Count.”
The emperor’s voice came as if Eleanor’s words were accepted.
Her voice was clear, as if it was coming from right next to her, but she didn’t show up.
It has been transmitting only her voice while hiding her body.
In the next moment, a venomous wind blew and tossed the piles of dirt on the floor.
“What are you going to do with just a sandstorm?”
“This isn’t sand, it’s a weapon. It has no special shape, moves only with my own power, and can never be destroyed!”
“Is this a weapon?”
“I’ll attack you with the look you’re most reluctant to fight, the look you’re afraid to face. Let them die in endless despair!”
“What is he saying now?”
-Sweet…
The answer came back to action.
When the wind died down, the shadows of countless people stood around the princess and her party.
An object that was thought to be sand took on a human form, like a pottery made of clay.
The rough outline gradually becomes clearer, and the final form it takes is…
“Hey, knight…?”
“My God, you’re a princess…”
Rudy and ‘Dancing with the Wolves’ murmured dazedly.
Numerous sand puppets surrounding them looked just like the princesses.
Was it true that it was a weapon, not sand?
Not only the shape but even the texture was completely indistinguishable from the real princess.
The black hair and eyes, the wild eyes, the bridge of the nose, the jawline, and the small muscles of the limbs were perfectly identical.
Looking around, the gnashing ‘Dances with Wolves’ raised a pistol.
“For such a prank…!”
“Are you going to shoot me?”
“You said you would give your soul to me.”
“Where’s the oath? The honor?”
“I took you out of that carriage then. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be where you are now.”
“You traitor.”
“What…”
At that moment, countless princesses opened their mouths.
Horrifyingly, her voice, tone of voice, and breathing are the same as those of a princess.
Step by step, she slowly closes her distance, whispering her secrets that only she would know.
She felt the strength drain from her grip on the grip of ‘Dances with Wolves’.
“Everyone, shut up… It’s not you I swore allegiance to!”
“Because that’s me.”
“I am a princess.”
“Can you tell me apart?”
“Where do you think I’m fake?”
“Eww…”
A voice that cannot be resisted even though reason knows that it is fake.
Absolute ruler over them.
The Princess stretched out her hand with a gentle smile.
“Come here. I’ll make you feel better.”
“…”
Her hands are shaking
She couldn’t bear to pull the trigger on the fake in the form of a princess.
To her, her many sand dolls were slowly narrowing her encirclement.
“Hey, knight… I’m scared.”
“You’re a fake. Me, I’m like this with you…”
“Everyone, don’t be shaken. This is a kind of mental attack. If you reveal a loophole, they will attack.”
For others, the situation was similar.
Even in the voice of the King of Fair Wheels, which sharply warned, there was a hesitation that could not be hidden.
This was a trap that exerted her power because the princess had absolute influence over them.
For at least once a princess fell into her clutches, she admitted her clear defeat to him.
They couldn’t completely ignore the fake in the form of a princess.
Except for one.
-Roaring!
The hot heat seemed to rage once, and the sand dolls that had gathered countless times melted into a soggy form.
“Yes bitch! Dare… Dare!”
The Grand Duke of Siberia gnashed his teeth and stepped forward after swearing uncharacteristically.
Her fists clenched tightly in her hands trembled, revealing how furious she was.
“Whose figure do you dare to steal now?! Don’t imitate my son’s look and voice with dirty hands! Just the thought of covering Jun’s face with that rotten inside makes me sick!!”
-Roar!!
Even if the dolls melted in the flames, they did not disappear.
Right after they melted, they came together again and moved to form one.
It seemed difficult to get rid of them with physical force.
However, the Grand Duke of Siberia melted the dolls together by burning them again.
“I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it!”
“Mother, are you okay?”
“This time, leave it to this fireworker and head forward! No matter how persistently they gather and imitate you, it’s enough for me to melt them every time!”
“It’s easy to say, but it won’t be normal. Don’t overdo it. I’ll do my best…”
“I’m your mother. I won’t collapse after working hard for a day or two. I have the strength you gave me. If you truly believe in me, don’t look back and go forward!”
“…Then I will.”
The princess obediently nodded her head.
Although not without anxiety, he trusted her mother.
He knew very well that it was her courtesy to her.
“I won’t go for a day.”
“I know. You are my son.”
– Whoa wook!
After the speech, the Grand Duke of Siberia blew on his breath, and a curtain of tremendous heat pushed the puppets in a straight line.
That made the way
They moved forward without looking back, just as the Grand Duke of Siberia had said.
The sound of the dolls melting behind her continued to be heard.
“Cain Siberia, you bastard! A little more could have caught the gap! It’s trouble until the end!”
“Shut up now, Emperor! I hate repeating myself.”
-Tadadadak!
Rudy, who had been running for a while, said in a crawling voice.
“I’m sorry, Knight. I couldn’t get rid of the fakes quickly…”
“…That’s what Jim was supposed to say. He showed uncharacteristic hesitation on the battlefield.”
“I can’t help it because it was such an attack. What can I do when you’re my girls.”
“But… By yourself.”
“It’s okay. I’m not the kind of person to be defeated so easily.”
When the princess made a statement, the women shut their mouths.
If he said that, the girls had no choice but to believe in the power of the Archduke.
After running for a few minutes, I saw a man standing on the dry ground.
He is a green-haired young man who once fought.
It was Gray, the Emperor’s irreplaceable retinue and older brother.
It was an adversary that Gongju-in had defeated once, but even at a glance, the current Gray was different from back then.
He was emitting explosive magic with backup from the emperor who had absorbed the mana of ten million imperial citizens.
Originally, the body would have exploded immediately without being able to withstand his magic, but Gray’s body, which was hardened with miasma, managed to withstand a million mana.
“Receiving backup without magic focus progress… Ah, that’s what Viscount Barrier used. It was said that his family could share power with each other.”
Gray spoke to the muttering princess.
It was still a tired voice.
“It’s been a while. I clearly advised you then. I would not be an easy opponent in the ecliptic. Even so, I ended up coming this far, princess.”
“Yes, it doesn’t look easy at first glance. What is that? It looks like you have a million magical powers in your body?”
“I’m sorry. You won’t be able to hurt me anymore… But please use your power and kill me.”
“Ha! I don’t care if you kill yourself or not. I’m not your opponent.”
“…What?”
The princess’ gaze did not turn to Gray.
The place he looked was always in the direction of the emperor.
Realizing this, the strongest warrior clad in armor approached Gray.
“King of Wheels, Seda Ratel. Are you dealing with me?”
“That’s right. I came here to save the countless lives that will perish at your hands, and to avenge the lost family. Isn’t it enough to fight against each other?”
“Is it not enough?”
In the next moment, the King of Fair Wheels was deeply surprised.
It was because Gray’s face, which had been relatively gentle and in some ways seemed lethargic, was contorted in an instant.
I felt like I caught a glimpse of the madness inside him.
Gray, filled with uncontrollable rage, opened his mouth.
“It’s a question that’s not even worth answering. It has to be the princess! If it’s not him, you can’t kill me! Not you, no one but him! Not enough! Not enough! You’re not going to kill me, the princess! “
“…It’s the first time I’ve ever looked down on you like this. It’s the first time since I was young that an opponent with more magic power than me has appeared.”
The King of Fair Wheels muttered quietly.
In the first place, it was the King of Fair Wheels’ job to mark Gray, the emperor’s greatest strength.
Gongjuin handles miasma freely and is good at psychological warfare.
It is safe to say that they are experts in dueling or dealing with beasts that poke each other’s weak points in magic.
What he is most uncomfortable with is an opponent who uses pure physical power as his strength.
Gray, who had abnormally amplified his magic power and raised his physical abilities to the limit, must have been a formidable enemy to the princess.
Of course, it will become a formidable enemy that even the King of Fair Wheels has never had before.
“Sir, shop! Go to the emperor! Gray will surely be defeated. On my honor!”
“Are you leaving, Princess! Okay, if you’re willing to do that, I’ll just hit you on the back with the head of the King of Fair Wheels!”
Gray’s dire warning.
However, the princess snorted once and left the place.
Without looking back.
Gray, who saw that appearance that seemed to be unreasonable, narrowed the corners of his eyes.
Returning to his exhausted form, he looked at the King of Fair Wheels.
“Dear King, it seems that your heart has changed. I heard that you are the one who will defeat the emperor. Are you willing to give up that role to the princess?
“Jim was also surprised. I couldn’t believe that there was someone in the world who would defeat the will of this King of Wheels.”
The King of Fair Wheels said boldly as if he had been stabbed in the middle.
Even so, the two shining blue eyes do not separate from Gray even for a moment.
He would keep his every move in his sights and respond swiftly to whatever movement Gray made.
“But I have no regrets. As a princess, she is truly a warrior who can defeat the emperor and overcome destruction. She is like a legendary warrior!”
“…Do you really think so? That he will protect the human world? Naive.”
“If I defeat you guys, it will happen naturally. From what I hear, it sounds like you want to die. Rest assured, Jim will grant your wish.”
“Ha…”
Gray let out a deep sigh.
The King of Fair Wheels was drawing his sword before he knew it.
“What is so lamentable about a person who has no will to live?”
“It’s just meaningless time, meaningless conversation anyway. You can never bring me rest.”
“I don’t know which one is more innocent. Open your eyes and take a good look. Is there someone with a sword drawn in front of you right now?”
“…I want to quit now. Everything. Five hundred years is too long… I can’t die even if I want to. Time to keep doing things I don’t want to do.”
Hearing this, the King of Fair Wheels clicked his tongue for the first time.
Because I could feel the sincerity in Gray’s voice.
No matter what the history textbooks of the Empire say, the Emperor has committed unspeakable atrocities as a dictator and lord of a superpower.
It was a clear fact apart from the dazzling achievements.
This man must have been directly involved in the affairs as the emperor’s chief aide.
I heard that it was this man who massacred Kang Ji-ah’s family.
But what does this reaction mean?
It’s like he’s a victim himself.
The King of Fair Wheels felt unbearable disgust towards the human named Gray.
“What you have done. What you will do. Are you saying that all of that was not your will? That’s the worst excuse ever.”
“Even if I tell you, you won’t understand. Do you really think that you can use the tremendous power of poison without paying anything, King of Fair Wheels?”
“What are you going to say?”
“I said you wouldn’t know if I told you. Now it’s over. There’s no need to talk anymore. I’ll go to the princess holding your neck.”
The first to act was the King of Fair Wheels.
Hearing such words, I had no intention of giving up the player.
Without hesitation, she thrust her sword and stabbed Gray in the eye.
Gray didn’t even defend himself.
He was broken, but still sharp blades shot through his tender pupils.
The eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body.
Not only is the eye itself a sensitive and lethal organ, but a single finger behind its tender pupil is the brain.
If anyone gets their eyes pierced, they will die instantly…
It should have been.
-Beep!
‘Unbelievable. I stabbed my eye, but it sounded metallic?’
Surprisingly, Gray’s eyes sparked and bounced off the sword of the King of Fair Wheels.
Gray is a magician with a million human powers.
Even by simple calculations, it is an existence with more than 50 times the magic power of the King of Wheels.
Although he was not a physical enhancement wizard, his physical abilities were forcibly raised to handle the excessively huge magical power.
Even the King of Fair Wheels couldn’t pierce his skin.
The next moment, Gray moved.
He doesn’t take a defensive stance, so he grabs his relaxed right arm and swings lightly.
The King of Fair Wheels made a momentary decision and gave up receiving his attack.
She twisted her body to dodge the attack and distanced herself.
It was a workshop that came and went in the blink of an eye.
‘It’s a formidable force. If he tried to block it or spill it, he would have broken his arm.’
“Now you know. You cannot kill me.”
“… After all, it can’t be easily defeated.”
How many times have you faced such an unreasonably powerful opponent?
When I was young and immature, I vaguely remembered the man I met in front of the forest where the beast slept.
The memory of the first complete defeat he experienced in his life.
It was a strangely hazy memory, but…
The king of charades, who was suppressed as a king, smiled wildly under the helmet.
