I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 161
identity unraveled
Damn!
Hey profit!
The first clash was a victory for Julius. Due to the cold, one arm of the flame giant evaporated as it was. However, it regenerates by sucking back the surrounding heat.
“… … .”
Then, the huge body disappeared from Julius's sight in an instant.
Pod!
“… … !?”
The place where the giant appeared was empty space. He raised his blazing fist and slammed it down on Julius.
bang!
Julius kicked the ground and escaped. Intense heat and light spread to the spot it hit, digging a hole.
'I'm going to fly out of my mind. Even if it changes like that, the senses of a warrior remain the same.'
Surprisingly, despite his size, the flame giant was able to follow the movements of the holy god. In other words, while having the skills of a superhuman-level warrior, it means using such powerful heat.
However, it was the same for Julius. In addition, Shin Shin-seong was a kendo expert called Baekhak Geomseon. He was no match for Julius with his bare hands.
Great!
The temperature at the place where his sword grazed dropped rapidly. Although the body of the giant made of flame did not freeze, that part evaporated as it was. It seemed as if a hole had been punched through the giant's body and he hesitated.
Hwareuk!
However, the flames blazed again and restored the body at a furious pace. At the same time, something like a stick came out of his hand.
“Damn it!”
Julius hastily widened the distance. The sword of flame held in the giant's hand shook as if it exploded and split the surroundings.
Wow!
Just by brushing the trail of the sword, everything melted away. And it was Julius who took the brunt of that trembling attack.
The giant's sword, nearly ten meters in length, and the sword of Julius, covered in pure white frost, collided again.
Kwak!
“Ugh!”
This time, Julius was slightly pushed back. For the first time, hot heat rushes through the coldness of the intangible armor.
[The opponent is also just using it, but he's good at using divine magic.]
'what?'
Julius frowned, thinking he might be scolding again, but the yellow dragon's voice was calm.
[I was just telling the truth. You seem to have done a lot of research.]
“… … !?”
Before Julius could answer anything, a whip of flame sprouted from the back of the giant.
Papapat!
The six-pronged whip tried to wrap around Julius as it was.
Hwareuk!
The giant's sword is also not at play. It was fired again drawing a tail of flame.
“Hut!”
Julius was slightly taken aback by this frightening joint performance. He leaped and pulled himself out of the whip's range. Of course, the whips also follow the flames like snakes.
However, Julius cut his sword from left to right as if he had waited.
Pod!
In an instant, a blue line was drawn in the air around him. And everything that came into the trajectory of the line was cut to pieces.
Kurleung!
The pillars supporting the already half-burnt conference room were cut off, causing the building to collapse. Of course, the flame giant was no exception.
“… … .”
Fish food!
The sword and whip of the flames that attacked Julius were powerlessly extinguished. The giant's body also drew a blue line and stopped moving.
'Did you succeed?'
[I don't think so.]
Roaring!
But soon the giant started moving again. Spatial cutting also had the ability to block regeneration or union, but like the three-headed dragon, it was only effective for a very short time.
[Because it is being supplied with the power of Suzaku, it won't even nod to any kind of attack.]
Just as the three-headed dragon received the power of Xuanwu from the Bidong and its regenerative power increased abnormally, the flame giant is also a similar case.
'Then what should I do? Ike!'
Quaang!
A heavy sound resounded, and Julius had to jump again and move from place to place. Again, the giant attacked with a sword of flame.
In addition, it is unusual for a whip to be created while the flames sway again behind the back. This time, as many as sixteen whips sprouted.
'Tsk!'
Julius clicked his tongue. If he was simply dealing with a sword, he could deal with it, but it was difficult when his opponent made an attack like that.
'Is there any way to prevent playback?'
The yellow dragon answered his question kindly.
[There's also a way to wait for that guy's strength to drop. It's a kind of expedient, so it won't last long.]
It was a pretty tempting sound.
'How long does it take?'
[Looking at the momentum right now, wouldn't it be enough to last for a day?]
'Dismissed!'
Julius shook his head. If time dragged on like that, it would not be Jeong Do-blind, but ruins. It would be safe, but it would be difficult if that giant jumped into other masters.
'Is there any other way?'
[There is, but… can you?]
Huanglong replied in a calm tone.
[Of course, you can suppress it by pressing it with force.]
That meant winning in a head-to-head confrontation. But that is also a difficult situation now. Julius chewed his lips with a nervous expression.
'The swordsmanship itself is not a big deal. I can win head-on enough.'
Shin Sung-seong, who turned into a giant, is said to be one of the best masters in the East Continent, but he was only a 4th level master at best. While gaining at least a part of the great emperor's mind, Julius was able to get a glimpse of the state above him.
'If I had to put it that way, I'd say it's about 4.5 levels.'
However, the ability to handle divine powers was far superior to the other side. Julius can block heat with cold or damage, but he doesn't have the ability to create a sword of flame or wield dozens of whips like his opponent.
Roaring!
'this!'
Damn!
Concentrated cold air in front to block the flying whip.
'I don't know how to do something like that. Obviously, if it was a state, I would be the top... for a moment!'
A thought flashed through Julius' grumbling mind for a moment.
'The state is my top?'
Then I found it a bit strange. Julius asked the Yellow Dragon again.
'Didn't I say before that the ability to handle divine powers depends on the owner's ability?'
[yes. So, didn't you accept most of the power instead of yourself?]
Julius tilted his head.
'That lord doesn't have a higher level than me, but he handles divine weapons better than me?'
According to Hwangryong's explanation, it didn't make sense.
[Think on your own.]
Huanglong didn't answer until here. This is something you have to realize yourself.
'state… And a novelty?'
Roaring!
A tremendous heat rises in front of Julius, who is in doubt. The flame giant seems to have thought of ending it here.
“… … .”
Shaak!
Sixteen whips twisted in the air and merged into one. The giant thrust the whip at Julius with terrifying speed.
Wedge love!
An attack on a different level than before! However, until that moment, Julius was deeply immersed in his thoughts, not even thinking about escaping.
And when the whip came close to Julius!
What a bummer!
A rectangular piece of ice suddenly sprouted in the air. It's like looking at a square shield. And the whip was mercilessly thrust down upon the shield.
Quaang!
As the whip shattered the first ice block, three more appeared behind it. The three overlapping shields collided with the flame-laden whip and roared again.
Aww!
The collision of ice and fire once again covered the surroundings with a thick layer of steam. And in the steam, a voice of joy is heard.
"I get it!"
* * *
“… … .”
The flame giant didn't have reason, so when the attack failed, it immediately started regenerating. The consumed flames were filled, and swords and whips sprouted from among the flames.
however
Fish meal!
Have you ever put ice in hot water? Then, the ice melts in an instant with a wind blowing sound, but the temperature at the point where it touches the ice drops in an instant.
Just like that, holes began to pierce the giant's entire body. Julius held out his sword-free left hand forward and pointed at the giant.
And at the point where the hand was pointing, there was no doubt that there was a hole in it. It wasn't that he was attacking.
At the point where his hand pointed, the temperature dropped rapidly and ice crystals formed. It only melted in an instant because of the flames.
“… … .”
There was no way the giant would survive as the flames that made up its body melted away and opened a hole. He moved his body like lightning, trying to get his body out somehow.
Hwareuk!
The flame sword blazed again and the giant rushed at Julius, but it was different from before.
Great!
A square ice shield was created in the air again. Even if one or two were pierced, it was difficult to pierce because several were overlapped at the same time. In addition, the shield emits an eerie chill.
Quaang!
The giant's sword was blocked by stacked ice shields.
Fish food!
The sword of flame evaporated in an instant, and even the giant's hand disappeared. As the flames that made up the body continued to disappear, the giant's body began to shrink rapidly.
His height of five meters shrank to three meters in an instant.
Seeing that, Julius was surprised inside.
'I expected it, but it's much easier than I thought?'
[You were stupid for not being able to apply.]
'That's nothing to say.'
What Julius had just done was the application of level 4.5, which allowed him to control a certain space.
Being able to cut through space meant that he could literally put certain areas under his control.
If you complete this step, you will be able to slash enemies from a distance with a quick swing of your sword. Didn't Sharnos the Great, seen in the video before, turn the forest into a clearing in this way?
Of course, even up to now, Julius didn't have that level of ability, but it was possible to use the power of divine magic. He raised his hand again.
'Is the distance of the rule about thirty meters?'
That distance was exactly the same as the distance he could cut with Space Sever. He was able to do something similar, albeit pitiful compared to what Hyeonmu had caused a storm to do on an entire nearby island.
Damn!
The giant, shrunken and charging again, stopped with a huge hole in his chest. As the temperature of the part designated by Julius rapidly dropped, the flames that made up his body went out.
Fish meal... … .
The giant spewed steam and shrunk to the size of a normal human. He wasn't even a giant anymore. It was just Shin Seong, the leader who turned into a flame man.
At first glance, it was too easy to subdue, but in a way, it was natural. Both of them possessed the same sacred weapon, but his skill was higher than that of Julius, and he even received player correction.
Of course, if they dealt with divine powers at the same level, Julius had no choice but to win overwhelmingly.
'What do I do now... … .'
Completely annihilating it now seemed like nothing more than a piece of cake, but after thinking about it for a while, Julius shook his head.
“… … .”
'In case you don't know, I'll have to end it on the line of suppression.'
Julius reached out again and created ice in the air. Thick ice crystals began to surround the Shintoseong.
Blasphemy!
Perhaps it was a matter of proficiency, but he hadn't created anything like a weapon yet, but he was able to create a simple form like a shield just like before.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Eventually, the believer is superimposed and completely trapped in the ice that piles up like bricks.
'after… I won't be able to move for a while now.'
The plan to subdue the leader who revealed his identity was slightly distorted due to an unexpected situation, but it was rather beneficial in the end because he knew how to use the sacred weapon.
After completing the suppression, Julius was finally able to look around. The surroundings were completely in ruins. It's not his fault, it's because the offensive of Shin Sung-seong, who turned into a giant, was so fierce.
Following the burning, the meeting room was completely destroyed in the aftermath of the clash, and the walls were melted down and frozen traces were left here and there.
And countless eyes were watching him through the collapsed walls.
“… … .”
* * *
flinch!
As Julius slowly walked toward the wall, Jeong Do-maeng's figures shrank unknowingly.
“… … .”
At first, there was a lot of buzz, but as the clash between him and the giant progressed, Jeong Do-maeng's characters lost their words. Originally, outstanding warriors are often referred to as superhumans who deviate from humans, but this clash was too large-scale.
It was absurd that Shin Seong, who had turned into a flame-breathing monster, would melt everywhere, but even Julius, who subdued the monster, was extremely unrealistic.
'What is the identity of the alternative author... … .'
'Are humans right?'
While receiving such stares, Julius reached the place where the people of Jeong Do-maeng had been avoiding at a distance.
“Great deal… … .”
Now that the leader has become that way, the only representative of Jeong Do-maeng is Namgung Ilcheon, the vice-headman. He voluntarily walked out when no one said anything. Because he had a lot of questions.
“First of all, thank you for saving my life.”
“Who is injured?”
“Some were slightly burned, but no one lost their lives.”
"Then you're lucky."
Unexpectedly, Julius asked about the wounded first. At least this meant that she had no intention of harming her moral integrity, so Namgung Ilcheon swept her chest inside her. He started asking questions that he wanted to be cautious about.
“Once the Lord is... … .”
“I just suppressed it. But I don't know how to get it back to normal.”
"Is that so?"
Namgung Ilcheon put on a sad expression. This is because she suffered a painful loss to Jeong Do-maeng's power. But think about it for a while.
“… … .”
He took a gulp and finally asked the people in the hall what they wanted to hear most.
“What is the true identity of the grand agreement?”
“… … .”
'Looks like you're looking at some kind of alien being.'
Julius laughed bitterly inwardly. In fact, the only thing he had hidden so far was that he was the crown prince. However, it was difficult to treat him like a monster.
“Didn’t I tell you before? This is not my martial art, but the power of the intangible armor.”
"ah!"
Only then did Namgung Ilchun come to mind. In fact, Shingi is something that even Moorim regarded as an old legend.
“Amazing. I had heard the legend about the power of the divine spirit that Li Qingwen Daqiao had, but I never thought that all of it would be true.”
It was only after hearing the conversation that a murmur was heard among the masters of Jeong Do-maeng.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you say that he was the former man of the All-In-One?”
“There were a lot of people in the league who treated it as gossip.”
"That's why the people who went to Bidong with him believed from the beginning!"
The murmur gradually grew, and the fear in Julius' eyes gradually softened.
First of all, the fact that Julius was a lifesaver played a part, but it was decisively because of the familiar expression of being a former person. It is easier for them to accept that the successor of a warrior, who was considered only a legend, appears rather than an unidentified Saekmok-in appearing and saving them.
'Wouldn't it be possible for a player's successor to do something like that?'
The unbelievable miracle that Julius performed was understood as being a legendary figure.
But even here a question arises. Instead of being from the East, why did Saekmokin suddenly appear as the successor? And what is the purpose of coming to Jeong Do-maeng?
Thinking that far, Namgung Ilchun remembered something he had forgotten for a while because of the unexpected situation. Her beginning was a piece of paper that Julius had just thrown.
'clearly… … .'
Okay!
Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard a dull metallic sound behind him.
“… … !?”
“What, these guys?”
“Are you a Saekmog person?”
Currently, all the masters of Jeong Do-maeng are gathered here, so of course they were not informed of who was entering the entrance.
Okay!
Suddenly, dozens of strange armored men were entering from the entrance. The number increased gradually and eventually exceeded one hundred.
Unusually, they did not immediately approach the masters of Jeong Do-Meng. They settled down some distance away and set up their ranks in an orderly manner.
“… … .”
And seeing the formidable momentum from them, the masters of Jeong Do-maeng started to get nervous again.
'Where are these people... … .'
“Long time no see!”
“… … !?”
Before they could react, Julius quickly approached them.
And the next moment!
thud!
coo kung!
puck!
Suddenly, those who wore the silver armor fell to their knees on the floor without anyone saying anything. It was a spectacle to see hundreds of people kneeling in the same position at almost the same time, so the audience's eyes were fixed on them in an instant.
Then, a middle-aged man in the lead lowered his head and shouted.
“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
“Meet Your Highness!”
"what?"
The people in the hall thought they had heard it wrong for a moment, but their voices were so loud that it couldn't be.
“What did you just say?”
"majesty?"
“… … .”
They were confused for a moment, and then nonsense came out of their mouths.
“Hut!”
"what!?"
Their gaze left the knights in an instant and turned to Julius. The masters of Jeong Do-maeng, who thought there was nothing to be surprised about, now opened their mouths and could not close their mouths.
“The crown prince?”
