280The truth about Kronos (4)
A power called aura.
It was truly a revolution.
The Salamander Continent was in an uproar due to Alexander's actions, and he, who had been left behind in the succession rankings, immediately took his place as a powerful figure..
People called Alexander ‘the father of prosecutors’.
Prosecutors who had a strong image of donning helmets and sacrificing themselves on behalf of wizards dreamed of becoming prosecutors during the revolution brought about by Alexander..
new direction.
A cataclysm occurred.
People started talking about a new future where it was no longer just wizards, but aura swordsmen..
Every day.
It felt like a dream.
Alexandre spent his days enjoying success as the first aura swordsman, but one day, the topic of a battle between a wizard and an aura swordsman became a hot topic..
As a result. In the actual sparring, the Aura swordsmen suffered a crushing defeat against the wizards..
The power of the aura was explosive, but it was not sustainable, and there was no way to keep up with the wizards' agile movements..
No matter how fast I moved, I felt skeptical as an aura swordsman after receiving a magic like 'Blink' that moved the space itself..
Only then.
I saw reality.
At least the martial arts of the Jungwon martial arts that Alexandre remembers were not weak enough to be defeated by magicians..
‘The aura I invented is only a superficial result. At some point, the trivial truth of Aura will be revealed, and as we rise to higher levels, wizards will dominate this world. You are Alexandre, not Kim Pan-seok. In order to never lose the wealth and fame that you have with both hands, you must establish a territory that others cannot access..’
Living under Hundred Thousand Mountains.
It was rumored that martial arts skills reached the realm of gods..
The overwhelming power of splitting the earth and collapsing the sky with a single sword move was an area that could not be reached with the aura he had invented..
But the magic was different.
Their power was like a natural disaster, and the more people paid attention to them, the stronger Alexander's desire to not lose power became..
he was poor.
Because I didn't have anything, my desire to let go of anything I could get my hands on was crazy..
timely.
The being who competed with him for the position of successor had the power of the Magic Tower on his back, and Alexandre had to make a choice for his future..
Is it right to continue to pursue ‘Aura’?.
What must be done to secure omnipotent power not only in the Kronos Empire but also in the Salamander Continent?.
Desire became an obsession. It turned into madness, and Alexander looked at the dark sky and faced a new future..
-Follow me and I will give you strength.
devil's whisper.
that day.
Alexander threw away his sword.
Everyone remembered him as the founder of Aura, but he did not exist as a swordsman when he ascended the throne..

Mystique asked again..
“Please give me an order. Roman Dmitri is someone who must be destroyed..”
his words.
agreed.
Roman Dmitry interfered with the plans of the Kronos Empire at every turn, following the rebellion in Cairo, the Kingdom of Redford, and even this all-out war..
The problem is that the moment the possibility arises that Roman Dmitri may be a ‘dimensional shifter’ like himself..
Deep in his heart, a desire he had not even known about rose up..
‘Roman Dmitry. Do you really know martial arts unlike me?.’
always.
I dreamed in my head.
If he had been a person who practiced martial arts properly, wouldn't he have been able to cause a new uproar as Alexandre without borrowing the power of darkness?.
Now it has become impossible.
Although many years had passed and dark mana had flowed through his heart, the desire for martial arts still remained..
I wanted to see it in person.
What martial arts does Roman Dmitry use?.
Where was the root of the martial arts he had learned, and if it was the martial arts of a so-called high-ranking school such as Gupailbang, it seemed that Alexander would not be able to resist his greed..
I felt thirsty. Murim took up a place in his mind like a fantasy animal..
Even if I knew martial arts now, the situation wouldn't have changed, but I still wanted to at least check whether it was right to choose magic..
Bowing my head.
He also shouted for the second coming of the Heavenly Demon..
The being he looked up to at that time existed as his ideal, as if he owned the whole world..
so that.
I swallowed my truth.
He didn't want to show the truth to those he followed..
Alexandre said.
“I agree with executing Roman Dmitry. However, now that he has defeated Shefir, Roman Dmitry has become something that cannot be dealt with unilaterally. Mystic. Our desired goal is to conquer the continent and place this world in the hands of Kronos. When that time comes, we will be immortal beings and enjoy wealth and fame throughout our lives. There is no need to rush. It is acknowledged that Roman Dmitry's existence is a threat, but at best, there is a limit to the area that an aura swordsman can handle. Do you think I would be defeated if I faced Roman Dmitry myself??”
“……Absolutely not..”
In the generation before Mystic.
Shefir existed..
And in a generation where not even Shefir could be touched, Alexander survived like a monster and exists to this day..
Roman Dmitry's power was overwhelming.
however.
Alexander has already reached the state of godhood..
Mystique and other shadows did not follow Emperor Kronos' orders, but showed loyalty to Alexander, who gave orders through Emperor Kronos' body..
To the shadows, Alexander was not a harbinger of auras.
It was a being that would lead to immortality and had already proven a new path as a human being..
“Emperor Kronos had already ordered a truce. There is no way to overturn the emperor's order, so for now, we will let the situation proceed as it goes. But keep in mind. By revealing our ambition to conquer the continent, we declared war on Isabel, that damn bitch. The war will soon begin again. If the war starts when we want it and according to the picture we had in mind. At that time, even if people like Roman Dmitry and Isabella interfere, they will not be able to stop the Kronos Empire's millennium plan..”
Millennium Plan).
Mystique bowed her head..
Ordinary people did not know the truth.
But as Alexander said.
“I will take orders..”
Soon, the world will fall into the hands of Kronos.

Isabel and Roman Dmitry.
There was silence for a moment..
Isabel, who revealed the whole truth, looked at Roman Dmitry and said:.
“The reason I revealed the truth to Roman Dmitry was not only because I knew the identity of the ‘Shadow’. Roman Dmitri defeated Shefir. It means that you have accomplished something that no one in the world could do without manifesting sacred power. The Luna Kingdom needs your power for the sake of humanity. Please help me destroy the Kronos Empire and the evil hordes..”
her words.
It was what I expected.
There was no need to explain why she, who opposed Kronos on the other side of the truth, came to see her..
the problem is.
“I don't like it.”
“……Are you saying you are going to abandon humanity??”
“That's a separate issue. If the Kronos Empire exists as Dmitri's enemy, I will drive them to destruction until the end. However, there is no such thing as dedication to humanity in that cause. I can draw my sword for those who follow Dmitry, but I am not a good person enough to talk about sacrifice for people I don't even know..”
“We are aligned in purpose. If so, is there no reason to refuse??”
Isabel's voice rose..
Past actions.
Roman Dmitry believed that his will was aligned with his will..
Isabel, who received an oracle and was active in the dark, discovered for the first time in her life a being called Roman Dmitri who could shoulder her duties with her..
When he settled the rebellion in Cairo, when he put an end to the rebellion in the Kingdom of Redford, and even fought an all-out war with Kronos and defeated Shephyr..
He believed that a warrior from God had been sent down to help him..
In order to counter Kronos' increasingly powerful ambitions, the help of a strong warrior like Roman Dmitri was essential..
however.
The answer that came back was not positive.
Roman Dmitry leaned back on the sofa and spoke in an unwavering voice..
“Our goals are not aligned. You for the world, me for my personal purpose. We want to take down the Kronos Empire. If so, let me ask. What if the Kronos Empire threatens the lives of countless people? Can you give up their lives and cut off Aleksandr's head??”
“……Well, that's.”
“That's the difference. Because we have different thoughts at important moments, we cannot hold hands from the beginning. If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate at all when that moment comes. I have no intention of making the relationship between the Kingdom of Luna and Dmitry negative through this meeting. We may be able to take actions that are mutually beneficial in the direction we are moving in, but we will not promise to take down Kronos together until the end. That's the only promise I can make to you who have devoted yourself to Salamander..”
I was speechless.
Roman Dmitry.
It was something I couldn't understand..
I knew he was arrogant, but I didn't expect this kind of reaction after learning the truth about Kronos..
Isabel said.
“Alexandre is a monster who denied the life allowed to humans. And, it is also a being that brings mysterious power from a world unknown to us. Can you handle him on your own? If we have more power than we thought, your judgment will lead to the destruction of humanity..”
raised my voice.
what she said.
It was in line with common sense..
At least, I believed what I said was persuasive..
Roman Dmitry stood up..
Then, he looked down at Isabelle with indifferent eyes..
“It doesn't matter. No matter how strong that being was or what kind of being it was in the world beyond. it's not that important to me.”
if.
Even if Aleksandr really lived in the Jungwon Martial Forest,.
Roman Dmitry did not feel threatened at all.
beyond dimension.
In the Jungwon martial arts world, Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk was the best in the world..
blast furnace.
Alexandre's past life, no matter how great he was, was just one of the stones rolling at Baek Jung-hyuk's feet..

a few days ago.
When the conflict between the Kronos Empire and Dmitry reached its peak, the Kingdom of Odelia proceeded with a plan..
[two days later. Soldiers of the Kronos Empire will head to the capital of the Kingdom of Odelia through the ‘Warp Gate’. Please keep in mind. This operation is a joint operation of the three kingdoms, in which the Kronos Empire, the Kingdom of Odelia, and the Kingdom of Umberto cooperate. The moment the imperial soldiers who arrived in Odelia and Umberto took control of the kingdom alliance, we laid the foundation for the conquest of the continent. So do your best to help the Empire. The future of the Kronos Empire will soon become Odelia's future..]
beyond the screen.
Baron Charlton smiled..
After finishing the magic communication, King Odelia's expression distorted..
“……Now there's no turning back.”
Every day, unbelievable news came from the battlefield..
When I heard that Roman Dmitry had miraculously won, I thought that maybe the kingdoms of Odelia and Umberto might have had a chance of winning if they had stuck to Dmitry..
But I have already crossed the irreversible river..
From the moment some kind of agreement was made with the Kronos Empire, no matter how the situation turned out, there was no way to return the relationship..
at last.
A decision was needed.
Even though he knew that he was calling himself a slave, the pea-sized liver put survival as his top priority..
called a subordinate.
And then gave the command.
“Union with Kronos is a matter of life and death for Odelia. The moment they arrive at the capital, we will use the forces of the Kronos Empire to take control of the Kingdom Alliance. Failure is not allowed. After this war is over, the history of the continent will prove that our choice was right..”
“All right.”
The driver looked motivated.
There was no shame.
If it were for the national interest, anything that the Kingdom Alliance had claimed so far could be thrown away at any time..
And two days later.
The day of the decisive battle has dawned.
King Odelia lined up her troops and welcomed the soldiers of the Kronos Empire who would come through the warp gate..
sudden.
Quickly and easily.
beyond the white light.
Imperial soldiers poured in..
King Odelia, who greeted them with a bright face at first, hardened after seeing their commander..
‘……no way.’
fierce face.
It was ominous.
Kronos' commander looked as if he were looking at the enemy army..
yet.
Soon after all the Empire's forces arrived, the ominous feeling became a reality..
“Attack the scum of the Kingdom of Odelia! The Kronos Empire will conquer the Kingdom Alliance, starting with Odelia and Umberto.!”
Then I realized.
What mistake did the Kingdom of Odelia make?.
By the time Dmitry defeated Kronos, King Odelia had faced a terrible reality..
