Chapter 117
117It's not over yet
"Heo Eok…!"
Takeda opened his eyes and stared at the white ceiling..
'hospital?'
He must have been injured by a magic swordsman and suffered serious injuries that could not be recovered..
The IV in my arm bothers me. Takeda pulled out the IV needle and stood up with a strangely light body..
'Did Michiru do it??'
Michiru is a Japanese S-class healer. She was also a colleague who prepared for the attack of the Demon Sword on Shikoku Island..
'No, it's strange. No matter what, it would be impossible to recover to the point where not even a scar would remain..'
They say that if you become an S-class healer, you can instantly put together a severed body, but back then, even my internal organs were cut out. She said she saved herself?
'No, it's impossible. She specializes in trauma. Internal injuries cannot be treated.'
At best, it significantly increases natural recovery. It is not at the level of grabbing someone who is facing death by the collar and bringing them back to life..
"Takeda Award!"
Not long after Takeda woke up, hunters in suits came in urgently. It looks like he was waiting outside..
"This is it. Fumio."
"You woke up after a week!"
Takeda's teammates, Class A hunters, were delighted with his recovery, but he was full of doubts..
"The magic sword... what happened?"
"……I missed it."
"I missed it?!"
Only four S-class hunters were hit. He didn't know how much he would have suffered after he fell. He suffered so much damage and still missed it.?
"Well, there is a plan proposed by His Majesty the Lionheart King regarding that matter.."
"Lion heart king?"
"W, would you like to check the video??"
Fumio took out his cell phone and showed Takeda a YouTube video..
"pantheon channel?"
Takeda was also familiar with the Pantheon Channel. It was a YouTube channel set up by a survivor's guild, and the content was all surprising..
It was a channel that was quite popular in Japan because it was well translated. Could it be that a video of the fight after he fell was uploaded??
The video was basically a well-edited version of the video taken with body cameras by the hunters of the coalition attack team. Perhaps using AI rendering technology, the smartphone image quality was neatly upscaled to 8K..
'Is the Korean government supporting engineers??'
Looking at the extraordinary image quality correction ability and over 100 translations, it seemed like a very deliberate decision. There must have been a hundred related engineers and scholars..
Since the Jeonilhyup also frequently revealed such corrections, Takeda, the second-in-command of the Jeonilhyup, knew very well..
Even so, the video quality of the Pantheon Channel was amazing..
"Wait, was this a live video??"
Takeda looked at the chat window next to the video and looked puzzled..
Of course, the Jeonilhyup Association and the Korea Hunters Association made hunters wear body cameras to promote this joint strategy..
A magic sword that appeared from the black gate. Japan succeeds in its strategy! It's good to use it as propaganda in moderation..
But that's only when the strategy is successful. If the strategy fails, there is no such thing as a scam..
Of course, I was planning to upload the edited video after all the battles were over.…….
'Doesn’t it seem as if all the body camera videos were broadcast and spread in real time??'
No, that can't be true. Body camera videos go through the control center. It is a military network that boasts the highest security in Japan.…….
Aside from that, Takeda, who was checking the video, kept his mouth shut. This is because a magic swordsman appeared in a video that appeared to be from the body camera of one of the hunters..
A one-sided defeat that not only Japanese hunters but also Korean hunters suffered helplessly..
-what? Takeda, Japan's number 2, is defeated so easily.?
-No matter how much you think about it, it's strange. The magic swordsman is too strong.
Yes, the magic swordsman I faced back then was different from before..
The reason the S-class hunters suffered so helplessly was largely due to the debuff trait emitted by the magic swordsman..
No recovery or regeneration, ignores defense, reduces resistance... A cheat debuff that reduces it by at least 70%, not just 10% or 20%..
Because of such ridiculous debuffs, even S-class hunters were unable to show their original capabilities. But why…….
-crazy… The light inspector was hit..
-All of our hunters will die trying to help these idiots.!
-do something!
Waves of all kinds of languages are posted in the chat window, not only Japanese but also Korean, American, Australian, European, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian..
-He is the lion-hearted king..
-His Majesty Leon has arrived!
Leon Dragonia Lionheart. Takeda swallowed his saliva when he saw him..
behind his back... No, because golden light poured down as if covering the battlefield..
"It is said to be the power of His Majesty Leon's Holy Grail. By connecting holy power to the sky, a fog that heals a wide area was scattered.."
"Thanks to that, Takeda-san was able to heal his wounds! It was a hopeless injury, but it regenerated at the cell level.."
"In the debuff… It would have been impossible to play?"
Two people also testified.
The moment Leon appeared, his overwhelming buff trait poured out on everyone in the room..
'This is impossible even for the highest-ranking S-class commander.…!'
Each and every one of the buff traits mentioned by the two people was shocking. I didn't specifically use a buff skill, it's a buff given just by existing.?
There are also dizzying debuffs just reading about them... Leon's very existence is like an epic totem that changes the battlefield..
But apart from that, the magic sword… Self-identified as Demon Grand Duke Akasha. His strength was at a terrible level.
'The S-class hunters were unable to use their strength due to the debuff, but even excluding that, would they have been able to win??'
At that time, Akasha moved. Even though I was just looking at the screen of the past, my heartbeat accelerated due to fear..
And Takeda's heart began to beat even more..
From fear to wonder.
From surprise to awe.
* * * *
Japanese archipelago… No, the whole world was in an uproar..
The Wandering Demon Sword was actually Akasha, the Demon Duke of Carnage and Destruction, and many Hunters died as a result..
That alone felt like an overseas topic, but the duel between Leon and Akasha in Pantheon had a huge impact..
-Crazy, you're a demon archduke.…….
-I knew there was a devil above the Great Devil, but…….
First of all, it is a shock to the Demon Archduke..
Humanity had already realized the existence of the Great Demon Duke through the East Sea Gate, but that was only within the gate..
I witnessed firsthand that the Wandering Demon Sword was actually a demon archduke and what the demon archduke could actually do..
A destructive force that overwhelmed S-class hunters and devastated the island..
Nevertheless, there was equally good news for humanity..
-lion heart king!
-Leon, your Majesty is really strong..
-That's a person?
-half confidence.
The story is spreading not only through video but also among hunters and citizens who witnessed it in person..
The extreme light of the Holy Sword that swallowed up the Sword of Akasha, causing a change in heaven and earth..
In the aftermath of the battle, wounded citizens were healed by the golden light that enveloped the entire island and felt evidence of its divinity on their skin..
There were a lot of people who were amazed even in the video, but what about those who witnessed it in person?.
People, mainly citizens of Shikoku and the nearby Kansai region, began to call Leon their savior..
[everyone! Savior! Trust your Majesty Lionheart! He is the savior of our world!]
Here, Prince Hanbit’s Park Yong-shin moved quickly..
Hanbitgung is a new religion with considerable influence in Japan. He first addressed the believers in Japan and called Leon their savior..
When Hanbit Palace, which had hundreds of thousands of believers in Japan alone, and a strong artificial intelligence across the sea emerged, Japanese public opinion, whether good or bad, could not help but focus on Leon.…….
[Jim is a lion-hearted king..]
Leon did not miss this opportunity..
* * * *
The atmosphere at the Jeonilhyup was ugly..
Only four S-class hunters died. More than 100 Class A people died, and even Takeda almost died..
It is said that there was a string portrait. Not only Japanese but also Korean hunters were almost massacred by one magic swordsman..
'S-class hunters were weak?'
no, that can't be.
Both the Jeon-Japanese Alliance and Korea deployed only the best elites that could be mobilized..
Their performance has been sufficiently proven just by looking at their previous gate attacks..
The magic swordsman… It's just that the Demon Archduke was stronger than anyone could imagine..
What's even more strange is that Leon almost overwhelmed even the demon archduke who almost slaughtered the S-class hunters..
"shit……."
President Kamiya swallowed dry saliva and was overcome with chills. And it was no different for other employees of Jeonilhyup..
The overwhelming power that cuts the sky, splits the sea, and causes thunder and lightning.!
Is that all? The Demon Archduke's terrible debuffs as testified by hunters alike.
It has been proven that the existence of the Lionheart King is indispensable in order to overcome them..
'There is no substitute…!'
Leon. He was irreplaceable.
Not just as a force, but also as a leader and standard-bearer on the battlefield.…….
Chairman Kamiya sat down with a sad expression..
The pantheon's influence was spreading throughout Japan. Japanese people originally had a light belief in God..
In Japan, where there is no major religion, the pantheon that showed such a strong performance naturally became an object of worship..
Some gentlemen have already hung up Leon's picture..
'dangerous…….'
Immediately after the battle, Leon was showing strange movements..
He gathered Hanbit Palace believers from all over the country, performed unknown rituals, and began meeting political figures. It is only natural that Prime Minister Fujisawa is in it..
More dangerous than anything else. Although it has not yet become an official issue, his remarks about giving up Shikoku Island and its 3.7 million citizens were leaked..
「One S-class hunter is worth a million ordinary people! You don't even know that!」
Of course, the Japan-Japan Association is the largest private organization in Japan. It also had the strongest power..
Major media companies could not go against the Japan Hunters Association, which was a large advertiser and irreplaceable, but Chairman Kamiya's remarks were spreading knowingly..
There is a repercussion even within the Jeonilhyup Association..
'It would have been better if the Koreans had failed…….'
In that case, it would have been possible to save face by issuing an order to mobilize all Japanese hunters, or to seek support from the United States and Europe..
But Leon won. So gorgeous. overwhelmingly.
What kind of person in the world could cut down the sky and split the sea? How much less can he defeat the Great Supply Demon on his own?.
Chairman Kamiya was trying to keep Leon in check, but if he messed with him now, he would end up as a criminal in history..
'It's still okay. I still have thirty-three S-class hunters left..'
Although it suffered heavy losses in just one battle, Japan is a country with a very large talent pool..
There was a sufficient population and an environment for discovering and nurturing talent. There was no loss of promising players to foreign countries like in Southeast Asia or the Middle East..
'Nothing changes. There is one thing I have to do from now on.'
We cease hostilities against the Pantheon. This is something that was never revealed to the surface in the first place..
Naturally, all we have to do is share the contributions of this alliance, commemorate the sacrifices of Japanese hunters, promise a solid Japan-Korea relationship, and create an alliance mood..
Anyway, Leon will only be in this country for a short time. The number of believers worshiping the pantheon will increase in the country, but that will be in the distant future..
'Leon Dragonia Lionheart…….'
I had to admit it. That he was too great a being for me to face. Likewise, it was too big for Japan to contain. And it's probably the same in Korea too..
I have no interest in him being the king of the world. Because it was enough for Chairman Kamiya to be king only in this Japan..
'Let's throw a banquet. We hold a big banquet, give them a generous reward, and then quickly send them to Korea..'
Chairman Kamiya decided on a very reasonable policy. however──
"I declare it here. Jim will open the gate. So, I will put an end to that evil bastard.."
I believe you will also cooperate..
