Chapter 165

165Vulcan's Ambition

Before landing in Taiwan, Leon's orders were simple:.

enjoy.

Spend some money, meet other citizens and enjoy some rest..

Everyone was puzzled by that command. In the first place, they didn't hear much about Leon's sudden visit to Taiwan..

Why did Leon come to Taiwan now, at this timing? I don't know for sure, but it seems certain that Leon is planning something here..

"Lord Vulcan. Get the chicken wing fried rice here... Ugh! I broke the chair again.?!"

Hari was shocked to see Vulcan smashing a chair outside the store while sitting on it..

"How many are there? Just stand there?"

"hmm···! The chair is weak.!"

Vulcan's plea did not work. That's right, his huge size is far beyond the standard weight, and since he is wearing armor made entirely of iron, it is inevitable that his chair will not be able to support it..

"Wouldn't you at least take off your armor? It's intimidating to citizens.."

"hmm? No, I just took a proof photo and went. I'm pretty popular."

"yes?"

It was then. A tourist who was wandering around Vulcan approached him and asked for a photo.?

"Boo, Knight Vulcan. Could you please take a picture??"

Vulcan responded in a cheerful tone to the request of the woman who appeared to be French..

"Of course, damn it!"

"Oh, that's Italian.."

"I see! GRARARARA──!!"

Vulcan takes a picture with a woman with a big smile. Hari was dumbfounded when he saw that..

"Well, what is it??"

"S&S write."

Vulcan sees something inside his armor! He threw it away and took out his smartphone..

Although he is a huge man, the smartphone he holds in his hand looks very small even though it is clearly the largest smartphone of the current generation..

-Perfect! Ta-dak! Just!

Vulcanus skillfully manipulates social media by tapping on a smartphone. The number of followers you see at first glance is no joke..

"What is this??"

"This account was created to preach the strengths and teachings of our denomination. I am also following the account of Her Majesty the Queen, the Priest of Dreams and Death.."

It is a known fact that Beatrice is quite skilled in modern culture..

In fact, if you wear only a veil all day and take a selfie with only your eyes slightly reflected, likes are flying in from all over the world..

Beatrice, the magician queen of the other world and boasting fearsome beauty, used this to great advantage to promote the pantheon..

"this. Lord Raihar's response has arrived. Let's see."

But Beatrice had an intellectual image wherever she looked..

She herself is the possessor of innate knowledge and intelligence. From what she heard, she had refuted dozens of magical theories put forward by high-ranking wizards in the Magic Tower..

But Vulcanus······.

'I wasn't happy from the first time I saw it..'

He was such an impressive human being..

First of all, Hari froze like a frog encountering a snake just because of the ferocity conveyed in his blazing gaze..

The moment they made eye contact, they instinctively realized that the other person was far stronger than them..

The gaze is also a gaze, but the overwhelming presence of a large figure fills the field of vision..

Beyond being the Holy Grail Knight and the standard bearer of the God of War, Vulcan would have accomplished something great even if he had not become a believer in the pantheon..

I understood this man to be a giant at the center of history..

"be small! Small! Petos! You did well to make such a poor girl your priestess.!"

I almost fell backwards from that loud voice..

[By your standards, aren’t you considered a sinful dwarf?.]

Fethos disparages him, but Vulcan doesn't care and just laughs..

"First, Lord Han Hari, you need to increase your height, chest, and hips.!"

"Sexual harassment within 5 minutes of meeting?!"

Vulcan made a questioning gesture toward Hari, who was astonished..

He banged the top of his head, emphasizing the pectoralis major muscle of his chest, and then turned around to show off his back muscles and toned buttocks..

"Big height! Big tits! Big ass! Among us knights we call it Samcor.!"

What is it? Was it really not sexual harassment??

In any case, after their shocking first meeting, Hari had perceived Vulcan as a somewhat barbaric macho knight..

A huge knight who looks like he is lifting a large piece of steak with a dagger and shouting, “No one can stop me!”──

'A SNS star on your smartphone. Even better than your Majesty!'

Compared to the Mechanistic Lion-Hearted King, who showed no signs of getting used to modern culture no matter how much education he received, Vulcan was skillfully using modern technology..

"Hmm... it doesn't have enough fiery flavor. lack of sanctity."

Vulcanus, who was eating fried rice inside a chicken wing shell while on social media, expressed such dissatisfaction..

"yes?"

If it lacks taste, it is lacking. What else does lack of sanctity mean? Before Hari could say anything, Vulcan had already taken action..

-Kwaaaa!

-Wow!!

-It's fire!

Onlookers were shocked by the sudden fireworks. Either way, Vulcan's fingers, the source of the fire, heated up the fried chicken wings that Hari brought..

A divine flame that burns away the devil, including his soul. You use it to heat street food.?

-Chii Iik!

"hmm! It's just right!"

Vulcanus is satisfied with the cooked chicken wing fried rice. He took off his helmet and ate it in one bite..

[Hey, that guy is wasting his power again!]

Fetos grits his teeth at that merciless waste of sexual power..

[Hariya, my divine daughter! Please say something to that ignorant guy.!]

"yes? It's me?"

Hari glanced at Vulcan and immediately made a shocked expression..

Its height is well over two meters, and it moves calmly even while wearing hundreds of kilograms of star-iron armor that looks heavy just by looking at it. The neck and arm muscles exposed for eating are covered with muscle bundles that seem to be made of steel..

The brute strength that made it seem like he could strangle a giant with his bare hands and his burning gaze were unrealistically intense..

Even if he was an ordinary person and not a knight or hunter, he had a presence that could not be dared to face him... What should I do against Vulcanus, whose forearms are as thick as my waist??

"I can't do it······."

[Hariya···!]

You'd rather die than see me. When Hari naturally lowered his tail, Vulcan said GRARARAR...! I smiled brightly and patted his shoulder informally..

"Ugh! 100 million! 100 million!"

My palms are pounding on my shoulders and it feels like my shoulder blades are being crushed..

"Boo, Lord Vulcan...! More than that! Was it because of the Lord that Petos lost his holy power last time??!"

"hmm?"

Hari previously mentioned an incident in which the divine power of the god Petos was suddenly depleted during a large-scale gate incident..

It was okay to be able to use the holy power of Hariya Poma God, but the other knights had a hard time..

"Ah, you mean back then? Hmm, this is all because Petos is not as good as before. I can't believe my holy power is depleted after a bit of Holy Descent.."

[That, that, that···!]

Fetos' voice was trembling as if he was suffering from a heart attack. It is expected that he will probably be holding the back of his neck as well..

"Divine Advent······."

"Do you know that too? I don’t think my lord intentionally taught me this.."

"Yes... I've seen it before.."

Antok, the Grail Knight of Iron and Blacksmithing,

Isabel, the priest of the moon and purity,

Gillingham, the Holy Grail Knight of Sky and Thunder,

Loxley, the Holy Grail Knight of the Sun and Judgment.

At the last moment, each person became acquainted with the devils with the Holy Descent..

Vulcan casually carried out the Holy Descent, which even the saints and saints of the gods used as a final suicide bomber..

If there is a human who can do something like that······.

"I don't think it would be possible for anyone but Your Majesty.."

"It certainly is. Even the previous Lion-Hearted Kings could not contain more than three gods.."

Vulcan confirmed that Leon Dragonia Lionheart, the Lionheart King of the time, was the pinnacle of the history of Jinjin..

"This is the realm of pure talent. Because the miracle of ‘representing God’ cannot be contained in small human vessels and overflows.."

Vulcan using Zereah as an example.

"Sir Zereah is a knight who left behind a noble spirit and feats worthy of being a Holy Grail Knight, but he was unable to reach the heights of divinity.."

It is said that other Holy Grail Knights can only survive for ten minutes after the Holy Descent..

"So are you saying that Sir and His Majesty are overflowing with talent??"

"That's right! I am Vulcan! Because he is a monster at the pinnacle of history! And my lord is a monster even more than me.!"

If it weren't for Hari, who witnessed Leon's fighting power, he would have denied it in the face of Vulcan's overwhelming presence..

And Hari's golden eyes widened at Vulcan's continued answer..

"And Kyung is also talented.."

"It's me?"

"You must have a vague guess, right? Han Hari, aren’t you still fine even after containing the holy power of two gods? This is proof that you are an innate vessel of divinity.."

"Oh no. I just got lucky──"

Vulcan pointed at Hari with his thick thumb. To be exact, it is Hari’s chest, the place where his heart is located..

"You said you received a 'Heart of Fire' transplant from Isabelle. that's the proof."

Hari looked down at his heart..

In the Kingdom of Lionheart, Hari inherited the two holy relics from Isabel..

One was a bracelet called the Heart of the Sea left behind by Manon, the Holy Grail Knight of the Sea and Waves, and the other was a bracelet called the Heart of the Sea.──

"Oak Undertaker Duke of Renoa. It is a consecration of the heart of the first God of War and Flame.."

The legendary saint who laid the foundation of the kingdom along with the first King Lionheart and the first Grand Duke of Dragonia..

They each left behind their power in the form of a ‘heart’..

"The lion's heart, the best and all-powerful, was transplanted into you, and the most ferocious and ferocious dragon's heart belongs to you... no, it belongs to Grand Duke Karina.."

And the remaining one is the Duke of Renoa's heart of fire..

"Your fiery heart is the most powerful founding flame of them all. It is a holy relic that is like a symbol of the Knights of the Burning Sword that they have revered and honored.."

"It's so amazing······."

Hari looked saddened that he had received a transplant. Of course, the items brought from the gate are perfectly 'reproduced' items, but they are no different from the original, they are another original..

"But you are not using your heart of fire properly.."

"Is that so??"

Thanks to this, he was promoted to S-class hunter. Still, it’s not enough??

"Like the Lion Heart, it is a holy relic that produces holy power on its own. Even if I had squeezed out all of Fetos' meager holy power, you, who received the heart of fire, would have produced ample holy power.."

"Is that so??"

Vulcan grinned. I guess it's up to me to raise this priestess to become the next 'Holy Grail Knight'..

"Yes, since there can't be two seats for the Holy Grail Knight... I guess I'll try something like the Grand Duke of the Holy Grail.."

[The Grand Duke of the Holy Grail! There is no such title.!]

"Uh- huh, Petos. Honestly, I'm a little different from other Holy Grail knights. It seems like there might soon be a new spot for me. hmm···! okay!"

bang! And Vulcan struck his knee. That light action caused a gust of wind and the surrounding tourists screamed..

"king! Yes, it's the king! I wanted to be king someday!"

[No, this guy?! It's blasphemy!]

Hari and Fetus are astonished at Vulcan, who says that being a king is tantamount to treason in an absolute monarchy..

Only Vulcan calmly spoke nonsense bordering on treason..

"Wouldn't it be okay if I were the Holy Grail King and His Majesty the Lion's Heart 'Hwang'?!"

"Uh oh······."

Is that okay? Hari wanted to say something was wrong, but Vulcan immediately took out a tourist map and looked at the terrain across Taiwan..

"Lord Hari! This country called Taiwan! How big is it in terms of the world??"

"note······."

Since it couldn't be expressed on a tourist map, Hari displayed the world map on his smartphone and pointed out Taiwan's location..

"Here. This is Taiwan Island, where we are now.."

"hmm···! Then Korea?"

"Hey~ kiyo."

When Hari pointed out the location of Korea, Vulcan──

"GRARARARARARA──!!"

He burst into laughter so excited that the volume of his voice alone caused an explosion..

"It's small! Small! It's too small to contain Lionheart's magnificent power! The world is so big!"

The sound of Vulcan was filled with endless longing, to the point where an ordinary person's soul could not bear it..

Do Harina and other tourists know? Vulcan's unique laughter is a downgrade ordered by the Lion-Hearted King to reduce his magnificent voice even a little..

He is the one who burned down the magic of the Grand Duke of Glacier by pouring out the flames of his holy power from the lion's hooves..

"good! good! First of all, this is mainland China! Occupy this road and advance westward! After founding the Lionheart Empire, you can receive the best land and crown yourself king! First of all, should I consider this place called Taiwan as a vacation home?!"

21It was truly an amazing story to discuss a war of conquest in modern times, but Vulcan had decided to erect a statue of himself in the center of Taiwan..

"Oh no! war is···!"

Hari was dissuaded by the terrible sounds of world domination, but Vulcan's will was firm..

"joy! In the first place, the country of criminals is bound to be corrupt and self-indulgent! What happened when Lionheart granted the empire without conquering the world? The result is the fall of the empire.!"

In Vulcan's view, he thought that the empire and other kingdoms were established because Lionheart did not conquer and had no intention of expanding the land unnecessarily..

This is because Lionheart thought of other nations as objects to educate and teach, not as objects of conquest and domination..

"Fe, Petos! Try drying it.!"

Hari desperately held on to the strings of reason and asked Petos. He is Vulcan, who has the most qualms with God among the Grail Knights he has seen, but wouldn't he listen to what Petos says to some extent??

[Good! It's been a while since I said something good! If you complete the task of the great war to conquer the world, you will get a throne.!]

"That's right, he was a war god.!!"

Fethos, god of war and flame. In fact, if you look at his tendencies, isn't he the god who most resembles Vulcan?!

"Mr. Poma···!"

Hari's prayers now turned to Foma, but he also──

[Since it is a global world, it would be easy to conquer it if we just block the sea routes. The Mediterranean is really nice and nice. I should erect a statue of myself there..]

'These people! Not only were they medieval people, they were also medieval gods.!'

Is there no such thing as love and peace?!

Hari changed the topic to prevent the story of this barbaric medieval worldview from progressing..

"Your Majesty! What was your Majesty thinking when you let us go??"

Hari was warned in advance that the Demon Prince of Pleasure and Corruption would be here..

If so, I thought he would go straight to fight the demons, but Leon's actions were completely different from what I expected..

"hmm···! The lord will have his own thoughts.."

"Well, right? The image is so······."

Hari is unable to give a positive answer because she has a strong image of charging in and destroying everything..

Seeing Hari like that, Vulcan smiled meaningfully..

"Okay...! Did Lord Hari not see a different side to his lord?."

"A different... side.?"

"My lord is a knight king who is more honorable and fairer than any knight, but he is also cunning and cruel beyond the imagination of knights.."

"yes?"

Vulcan recalled a memory that was now a memory..

Back when he was a berserker who wielded the power of an evil god. He had the 'King of Terror' who struck down and crushed him thirteen times with a million barbarians..

The supreme war rider favored by the God of War more than anyone else..

That is the lion-hearted king of his time.

He became a symbol of victory, or in other words, he would do anything to win the war..
