I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 170
No. 2
The entirety of the plan Julius had made was as follows.
“Once we bring the emperor to our side, we have to organize the figures of the Demonic Cult.”
He decided that it would be faster to defeat the Demonic Cult and Yeosang individually rather than facing them together.
'The biggest variable is the existence of that No. 2... … .'
No matter how hard the other masters tried, it was difficult to become his opponent at this point.
No. 2 is a secret weapon that uses the power of magic sent from the Demonic Cult!
For Julius, who was gathering all four gods, it was the first opponent he had to subdue.
“Did you say No. 2? Anyway, since I came with you, don't you know what kind of existence it is?”
“I’m sorry. But I don’t even know who the number two came with.”
“You don’t know?”
Julius tilted his head at the court enemy spirit’s answer. If you don't know, how did you get it?
“Because it’s confidential… I heard that he is among the masters I brought with me. He said he couldn't reveal his identity to me."
Currently, the Demonic Sect has dispatched 20 elite masters to the imperial palace besides the palace commander. That there are 2 of them.
“No. 2 is also a problem, but those 20 people aren’t easy either.”
[White Sword Demon]
It was the most powerful organization of the Demonic Cult, consisting of a total of 100 swordsmen. As each individual was a master on the verge of becoming a superhuman, there was not much work for them to do. Just looking at the fact that twenty of them were separately dispatched, it was clear how important the Demonic Cult placed control of the imperial palace.
“No matter how lord you are, dealing with them and No. 2 together… … .”
“Simple.”
"yes?"
Having heard that far, Julius cut off her words and gave an order.
"It's the secret of No. 2. Anyway, aren't you in charge of them?"
"That's right."
“Then send them to my quarters.”
“… … !?”
* * *
Saaak!
Julius' sword swung in a semicircle. A blue trail was drawn in the air and swept across the front.
“… … .”
The masters of the Demonic Cult responded quickly. They gathered in twos and threes and crossed each other's swords to take a defensive stance.
Kakakang!
With a dull sound like sharpening iron, they were pushed back. However, the situation was not seriously injured.
'Look at this?'
Julius looked at it and put on an expression of admiration. Even though it was said that 20 people were united, it was praiseworthy enough to block his sword attack without any damage.
'The defense is pretty good, but what about the offense?'
They haven't revealed their miracles yet. According to Gungjeokyoung, there must be someone named No. 2 among them.
“… … .”
“… … !?”
However, they quietly raised their swords and pressed Julius, but did not show any movement to make a big attack.
"Didn't you come to kill me? Why are you lowering your tail?”
“… … .”
Julius clicked his tongue at his opponent’s calm appearance.
'Even provocation doesn't work. What happened?'
Anyway, just because the opponent is still, he can't lower his sword either.
Hey profit!
Dozens of sword spirits appeared in the air. The sword spirit shot out in all directions at a terrifying speed.
Quaang!
“Cuck!”
“Kuk!”
This time, it was effective because it was a blow with a lot of sincerity. Those around him took a few steps back, coughing up blood. However, even as blood flowed from their mouths, they raised their swords again with calm faces.
“… … .”
“Huh… … .”
That bizarre behavior made Julius questionable. Why are those who summoned him in the middle of the night only thickly surrounding him?
'Well, if I had rushed in, it would have been over already... … .'
The reason they still held out was because they were building a solid defense in the form of a checkup. Julius was confident that if they turned into an offensive, he would break them at once.
'But it's meaningless even if it stays like this. Wouldn't it be more effective than tying me up?'
Suddenly!
'wait?'
Something popped into Julius' mind. Clearly they're not capable of handling him, but they've already been tying him down for a few minutes. What if that itself was their purpose?
'ah!'
His gaze turned toward the main palace. If my guess is correct, he didn't have time to be like this. Julius turned his head and looked towards the men who surrounded him.
“These guys?”
Quaang!
“Ouch!”
“… … !?”
For the first time, bewilderment flashed in the eyes of the masters of the Demonic Cult. I didn't even see Julius attacking, but suddenly the leading three were torn to shreds like rags and bounced off.
'How can I do without swinging a sword?'
chuck!
As if to answer their question, Julius held out his sword and slashed coldly.
“Then let’s hurry up because we don’t have time!”
* * *
"Then, I'll try to contact the crown prince sometime tomorrow."
“Please. It's fortunate that there are still loyalists like you.”
“I apologize.”
Meanwhile, Gungjeokyoung left the emperor's bed and was sweeping his chest.
'phew! I was worried that His Majesty would be angry because I was thinking of attracting foreign powers, but it's fortunate that there is no such thing.'
Then she tilted her head.
'But what kind of magic did the lord use to make His Majesty the Emperor accept the alliance so easily?'
She didn't know, but the reason was the visit from Julius last night. The skill 'Emperor's Dignity' was able to increase the favorability of the opponent because it raised the charm.
In Joo Yu-gyeom’s eyes, Julius didn’t seem like someone who would harm him. Had he really intended to do so, his life would have been saved last night.
'Anyway, I'm glad. I'll be able to drive out that traitor with this!'
I caught a familiar sign from her sense of thinking that way.
"uh?"
Bubbly.
From the other side of the hallway, a person exuding subtle demonic energy was walking.
“Isn’t it gold hoeju?”
She fixed her gaze on the approaching man with a puzzled expression.
“Meet the Vice-Principal.”
The name of the man bowing his head was Keum Jong-oh. He was the person in charge of the leader of the White Sword Demon Association, the most powerful group in the Demonic Cult. This time he came along to assist her assistant master.
But she has another order for him tonight.
“Why are you here? I must have given the order to capture the Crown Prince of the Western Continent?”
shit.
Keum Jong-oh, who bowed his head respectfully, was smiling before he knew it.
“I came to see you because I have something more important than that.”
"what?"
She noticed something was wrong with Keum Jong-oh's attitude. He put his hand on the sword, still smiling.
"It's about finding the traitor!"
“… … !?”
Chaechaechaeng!
Quaang!
In an instant, an intense explosion erupted, and Gung Jeok-yeong threw herself outside. He took advantage of the momentum of clashing swords with Geum Jong-oh and came out.
'Heard. But since when?'
“The headmaster knew right away that you had other feelings! That is why they sent me.”
"nice… … .”
She groaned as she drew her sword. It was suspicious that she wasn't responsible for the failure of her mission this time, but it was clear that the leader knew her identity from the beginning. The intention is to use it to their heart's content and send it to the imperial palace to deal with it. As expected, the Demonic Cult was not a group that was easygoing.
Shut up!
Seruk!
Dozens of masters appeared behind Geum Jong-oh who was confronting her. These were the true elite of the White Sword Demons. What I sent to Julius was just a bait prepared separately.
"joy!"
However, the palace commander snorted.
“No matter how much you command the White Sword Demon, do you think you can beat me?”
The leader of the White Sword Demon Association, Geum Jong-oh, ranks 5th! However, she was the second-ranked vice-chief in the Demonic Cult. The gap between them is obvious.
"haha… That's right.”
However, Keum Jong-oh let out an even more unpleasant laugh.
'What does this guy believe in?'
A line of question passed through Goong Jeok-young's head, but it was not the time to worry.
'I have to join the lord and inform him of this fact!'
Hwareuk!
Saaaa!
Flames from her sword! A chill rose from her hands.
Kwak!
She created intense destructive power by colliding the two energies. It is a plan to escape at once after creating a gap with a large attack.
Wow!
The enormous energy emanating from her sword shot at Geum Jong-oh.
'Of course I'll avoid it, right?'
He had that much ability. In the meantime, he was thinking of getting out quickly.
"joy!"
Surprisingly, however, Keum Jong-oh raised one hand while standing still.
Perong!
“… … !?”
Gung Jeok-young opened his eyes wide. Her blow, which she unleashed with all her might, ricocheted off as if blocked by something in her just before it touched Geum Jong-oh's body.
'You blocked my blow by raising one hand?'
Only then did the doubts she had been harboring from the start were resolved.
“So you were Number 2!”
“Did you know now? Ha ha ha!”
Geum Jong-oh burst into madness, drew his sword, and rushed toward her.
visor!
Chaechaechaeng!
Both of them are masters of kendo! Dozens passed by in an instant. And the thing that took the upper hand in the workshop was... … .
Chow!
“Kuk!”
The palace commander stepped back, leaving bloodstains all over his body. His hand, which had just swung his sword, was tingling. She is clearly being pushed back.
‘The skill is not much different, but the sword attack has become extremely heavy. It's hard to clash swords.'
Geum Jong-oh's sword bound her movements with strong pressure every time she swung it. Her power increased several times, so she had no choice but to be pushed behind her extension.
'It's a big deal! I have to tell my lord about this guy's true identity.'
“You were so energetic earlier, so it’s no wonder your strength has run out already?”
Geum Jong-oh raised his sword into the air with a smile on his face.
“… … !?”
His sword was entwined with strong winds, like a swirling vortex.
Chijik! Chick!
In addition, lightning rises in the center of the vortex and even sparks fly.
'that?'
the moment you saw it. Goongjeokyoung reminded me of the legend of the Four Guardian Gods. What is said to have that kind of ability among them!
'The magic of the blue dragon!'
Among the Four Gods, the realm governed by Blue Dragon is wind and lightning!
Just like he said, Keum Jong-oh radiated intense wind pressure from his body and deflected her attack. And every time she swung her sword, her pressure was holding her down.
“Then die!”
Geum Jong-oh's sword swung along with a storm.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The ground was overturned and split into long strips. And there was no way that the Goongjeokyeong, which was the target, would be safe.
“Keugh!”
Chow ah!
She threw herself, barely avoiding being dismembered. But in return, his back is cut deeply and blood is pouring out. It is difficult to continue fighting!
Her face turned dark.
'Can I survive here?'
Because he had already shed a lot of blood, his eyes were blurred and his body did not move as expected. Gossip sounded in her ears as she stumbled up.
“Kuhhh… It seems that this is the end. The headmaster said that if you bring your school supplies, he will raise me to the position of assistant headmaster.”
Geum Jong-oh raised his sword again. This time, he intends to slit her throat.
Hey profit!
“Kuk!”
The moment his sword was raised high, Gung Jeok-yeong, who had a premonition of death, closed his eyes.
however.
Kwaaang!
“… … !?”
"This?"
She opened her eyes hastily. She didn't have the pain she expected, and instead she flew behind the gold bell and was pinned to her wall.
“Who are you!”
Geum Jong-oh opened his eyes wide and looked around. He was obviously attacked, but he didn't feel any signs.
“Hut!”
At one point, he saw a man standing in front of him and widened his eyes. He replied with a grin.
“Who is this, who are you looking for?”
“… … !?”
“You are the lord.”
Gungjeokyeong let out a welcome exclamation. At some point, Julius had entered the main palace. There was a group that was rather annoying, but it was not a task to organize it as soon as he made up his mind.
"nice… … .”
As soon as he sensed Julius' presence, Keum Jong-oh hurriedly widened his distance and retreated.
'Coriander! That's unbelievable!'
Although his body's ability was not strong enough to pierce the refutation, the divine energy in his body gave him a warning.
