105A war that never ends (2)
Immediately after the battle ended.
Roman was lost in thought..
‘There are still many things in this world that I don't know..’
the world of unknown.
The magic I experienced firsthand was a refreshing shock..
As I read countless books at the library, I thought countless times about what magic was and how to prepare for it..
However, the knowledge in my head and reality felt different..
I knew that Mother Nature responds to the magician's touch, but the tree trunks moving like snakes and the intense flames were beyond my imagination..
A different area from witchcraft.
It was amazing.
With the same roots of using the energy of nature, Martial Arts developed martial arts, and this world created a new realm called magic..
‘Magic is a world where I cannot make hasty judgments. What if Edwin Hector was a much greater wizard? Even if I tried my best, I might not have been able to escape alive. I have not yet fully recovered my martial arts skills as the Heavenly Demon Baek Jung-hyuk, and a hasty judgment could lead me to my death..’
Collaboration between Edwin Hector and Butler.
It was a dangerous moment.
Edwin Hector's magic attacked Roman in a realm beyond his expectations, and Butler was a strongman he experienced for the first time in a new world..
First half of the Heavenly Demon Sword Technique, 3-second formula.
The attack he used with the intention of finishing it off was blocked against Butler, and if he made a mistake in the attempted counterattack right away, his life could have been lost..
If I could turn back time.
What choice did Roman make?.
‘I would have made the same choice back then.’
Battlefield.
It is a luxury to hope for safety there..
Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, reached the pinnacle by overcoming countless obstacles, and his thoughts are no different now..
I needed the experience of risking my life..
I realized that if I die due to lack of ability, I will end up only being a good vessel, and if I overcome the ordeal and survive, I can move on to the next level..
my blood boiled.
Because I knew that even in the new world, there were many mountains to overcome..
Roman Dmitry could not control his blood boiling as he watched the morning sun rise..
“chris.”
“please speak.”
“Hector's kingdom will not give up like this. This war is not simply a battle of pride; it is a matter of Hector's fate. They'll probably take a day's rest and then quickly clear out the defensive positions on the southern front..”
“If so, should we prepare the troops right away??”
“no.”
I shook my head.
Edwin Hector.
Not an easy opponent.
If a war continues despite its own experience of powerlessness, it can be interpreted to mean that sufficient preparations have been made..
“These are just some of the enemies we dealt with overnight. Hector's Kingdom still has overwhelming power compared to the southern front, and there is a possibility of being attacked by enemies if you go down the mountain hastily. From now on, it is not a matter of what we can do. The Cairo royal family will definitely send the main force to subdue Hector's kingdom, so until then, you need to get enough rest and maintain your strength..”
not drunk on victory.
I faced reality.
Safety of other Southern Front people?
It's none of my business..
Risking your life to save them was such a foolish decision at the moment..
‘The commanders of the southern front chose to remain in the castle despite my advice. From now on, it is their responsibility to bear it. If they can hold out for ten days, they may be able to survive, but even if they are all sorted out, it will not have much of an impact on the general situation. The question was whether Cairo's main force could capture his rear camp in the first place. I just have to maintain my full potential until then and do what I can when the situation is over..’
made a decision.
Chris nodded..
“All right.”
leave him behind.
Roman climbed the mountain.
“I will have some time alone for the time being. Never interrupt my time until I tell you to..”
That is.
It was Roman's last command that Chris remembered..
* * *
used a base system.
Roman, who created his own space, sat cross-legged and fell into meditation..
‘Edwin Hector. He expected me to attack, had dug a trap like a spider, and was waiting..’
I caught my breath..
My consciousness sank deeply..
The five senses became faint, and the sensations felt around me became false..
‘It started with a strong fire.’
flash.
opened my eyes.
In front of you.
An intense fire broke out and hit Roman..
“Inferno.”
Hwareuk.
Grumbling.
The heat is enough to instantly melt the moment your skin touches it..
Roman quickly dodged..
at that time.
Just like in his memory, Edwin Hector tried to corner Roman using the Memorise spell..
‘If you attack without giving a chance at this time,?’
Crying.
I created mana.
explosive movement.
He penetrated the opponent's space in an instant, and even though the fire was burning right in front of him, he dodged all the attacks with simple movements..
I took some damage.
The skin turned red, but direct damage was prevented by protecting the skin with mana..
And then.
‘閃電).’
flash.
Extreme Quick Sword.
An aura arose from the sword, and in the blink of an eye, it decapitated Edwin Hector..
but.
The attack didn't work.
Edwin Hector disappeared with a blink just as he had dodged his last blow, and Butler did not miss the loophole that was revealed immediately after the attack..
At that moment, my body shook violently..
Butler, angry at the fact that Edwin Hector was attacked, raised his five-star aura to its peak and attacked Roman..
Kwaang!
Kwakwakwak!
The atmosphere shook..
It was certain.
Butler was a step above Roman today..
Even though it was an imaginary existence, the pressure was vivid, and Roman took steps to counter Butler's attack..
The moment you let your guard down even a little.
Edwin Hector's magic exploded..
It was an unfavorable situation.
Although it is right to retreat to save one's life, Roman made a judgment that was different from his own experience..
‘This is the time.’
gap in attack.
I dug into that space..
I unleashed the Heavenly Demon's Demonic Art and cut off Butler's head..
As a result.
Suddenly!
Tuk.
Degururu.
Roman's head was blown off..
The imaginary conclusion was that the Butler experienced by Roman could fully react to this level of attack and even attempt a counterattack..
The surroundings have changed again like the first time..
In front of Roman Dmitri, Edwin Hector was using Inferno, and with the hot flames filling his vision, he made a different choice this time..
repeated choices.
died over and over again.
in an imaginary world.
Roman repeated the number of cases.
Regardless of whether you win or lose, you see with your own eyes what consequences your choices will have..
Kwaang!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
engulfed in flames.
Although the burning pain in his body was real, Roman was enjoying his situation..
‘In this world, I am not absolute. If the last years of his life in Wulin were extremely boring, Roman Dmitri must risk his life against Butler, who is not even the strongest man in the kingdom of Hector. Maybe I had hoped for this situation. New challenge, new strength. I am a being who cannot live a satisfied life of comfort..’
laughed.
From the bottom to the top of life.
Overcame many hardships.
A child who may have once been ordinary has become something beyond ordinary as he lives a stimulating life..
so that.
‘yet again.’
Through the fire, Roman rushed towards his enemies..
* * *
imaginary battle.
I couldn't remember how many times I repeated it..
but.
I just kept fighting.
How the opponent would attack, how he would react to his attack, and countless other scenarios were accumulated in my mind based on memories of my own experiences..
The attack did not always fail.
There was a situation where Roman cut down both of them and won, but Roman was not satisfied and repeated the situation once again..
The world of the fittest.
That was how I survived there..
When encountering enemies that were difficult to handle, Baek Jung-hyuk constantly reflected on various ways to defeat the opponent..
hook!
attacked Edwin Hector.
it was a trap.
He induced Butler's loyalty, blocked Butler's weakness, and drove the sword into his heart..
deeply!
“gagging.”
screamed.
Butler stumbled and fell, and Edwin Hector, who was left alone, was no match for Roman. I cut them both down. When Hector's soldiers arrived, Roman was no longer there..
next situation.
On the contrary, he used Edwin Hector's attack..
He sufficiently attracted Butler and created a situation where Edwin Hector's magic could explode on Butler..
Powwow!
Grumbling.
A fire broke out..
As Butler burst into flames, Roman blew off his head..
An act that is repeated countless times.
The number of all cases is stacked.
It may be different from reality.
The real enemy may have had more power than that, but at least I gradually learned the methods of destruction from the moment I experienced it..
Finally.
Suddenly!
Blow off the opponent's head in the shortest amount of time.
I caught my breath..
Once the desired level of experience had been accumulated, consciousness returned to the surface and the surroundings returned to normal..
however.
Roman was not in good condition..
Even though the battle occurred in my imagination, red-hot scars were left all over my body..
A rush of pain came over me..
Although his dry mouth was cracked, Roman stood up with a nonchalant expression on his face..
‘It's time to go back.’
yet.
the war is not over.
* * *
Roman's return.
Chris explained the situation so far..
“As the lord expected, Hector's kingdom immediately attacked the front-line defense positions of the southern front simultaneously. In just one day, the third and fourth defense lines collapsed, and soon after, the second defense line also fell into enemy hands. And just yesterday, the Kingdom of Hector gathered all its war supplies and gathered in its rear camp. It seems like the intention is to fight to the death there..”
sit-in).
It was the best they could choose..
It was an unexpected result for Roman, but it was different for Henry Albert..
“Roman. The Cairo royal family is in an uproar right now. It was thought that the defensive positions on the southern front could hold out until the main force in Cairo arrived, but they all collapsed before they could hold out for less than three days. There is no hope on the southern front. If we continue like this, our lives are in danger..”
soon.
The main force in Cairo arrives..
However, Hector's kingdom had already completed preparations for Mercury, and from now on sacrifice could not be avoided..
“The Cairo Royal Family awaits contact with Roman Dmitry. We've done enough. So, why not leave the rest to the main unit in Cairo? A siege is a fight where sacrifice is inevitable. If Hector's kingdom is pushed to the edge of a cliff, it certainly won't fall alone..”
He looked nervous..
Just in case.
I was anxious that Roman would say what he would do alone..
He was determined to remain by Roman's side at all costs, so he hoped that Roman would make the safest choice possible..
about a week.
While I was alone, the tide of war changed..
Roman said.
“Establish communication with the royal family..”
For now.
It was time to talk to the Cairo royal family, who had been in pain for a week..
