Rebellion of the Empire (6)

Grumble—!

Falling in love!

Black dark clouds covered the sky, and the barrier surrounding the capital continued to scream and sparks flew..

And in that fin-de-siècle scenery, Hans, who had achieved a set of goals, was slowly gathering his subordinates and preparing to leave..

[Well then, let’s stop here for today. Then I will be waiting with joy.!]

“immortal king!”

The undead were disappearing in the darkness, but perhaps thanks to the two hostages captured in his hands, the humans were unable to act rashly and just grinded their teeth..

‘Actually, the princess wasn't originally planned..’

Hans looked at the two royals floating in the space next to him, bound by dark magic..

In fact, from the beginning, they only targeted the crown prince and attacked him at the time he used the gate..

To the time when he, who departed from the Great Hall of Zeron, could not have reached the imperial palace..

‘A high-ranking person worthy of being a hostage. At the same time, you can easily find out your whereabouts, and above all,···.’

“town—!”

Hans' eyes turned to Prince Simon, who was wriggling like a caterpillar..

Even though his body and mouth were restrained, he was glaring at the imperial knights and putting silent pressure on them..

Rescue yourself quickly somehow.

He really couldn't be anything other than an ugly person..

Powok!

“Okay!”

“Tuesday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!”

“Immortal King! What is this?!”

The crown prince faints with an undignified death from a lump of black magic hitting the back of his head..

The knights started going crazy again, but Hans didn't even care..

‘I didn't like this guy from the moment I saw him..’

From his first impressions to everything he did, he was a hateful person..

In addition, he played a big part in all the corruption that was rampant in the empire, so you should consider yourself lucky that they didn't kill you right away..

‘Because it has value.’

I can't guarantee what will happen after its usefulness expires....

Soon his eyes moved to Princess Riley..

Even in this situation, the bright blonde beauty was taking deep breaths and trying to keep her cool with sharp eyes..

Of course, his heart was beating loudly and his eyes were constantly shaking, but his self-control was so thorough that it was not easy to notice the agitation at first glance..

‘I heard you're not even 20 yet, but you're amazing. I happened to pick it up, but there is something useful everywhere..’

Unlike the crown prince, this person doesn't have a special master, so I didn't plan on keeping him there for long..

Just a cameo for dramatic effect in one episode.···.

‘huh?’

At that time, Hans' gaze turned to one side at the sudden feeling of subtle heterogeneity..

Because he was able to sense cause and effect by completing the level of transcendence, what he was able to sense was an abnormal situation that could not normally exist..

‘Isea?’

The person at the center of the incident is an awakened person from the same Earth..

In the heavy air surrounding her, her karma was writhing and her presence was slowly expanding..

Her eyes move calmly.

It was as if he was reading something that appeared before his eyes, but of course the air was just empty..

But each time the series of processes was repeated, she became stronger..

By then the situation was clear..

‘Come to think of it, Se-Ah Lee was in her 8th year. In addition, he was a great magician with an imperial noble status. You must have already accumulated enough karma to return. no way···.’

Karma needed to return is 1 million.

I don't know how much more they had, but one thing is for sure:···.

Now she had lost the means to surely save her life in case of danger..

No, I cut the lifeline myself..

To use that line for other purposes.

As if I have no intention of running away anymore.

As the reinforcement continued, the karma of consumption increased, so her actions did not last very long..

But her spirit was noticeably different from before..

‘Are you really planning on attacking me? In a situation where the princess was held captive,?’

But as if the rumor was true, she immediately started taking action as if she didn't even think about what happened next..

Gooooo—

An enormous amount of magical power flows out of her body in an instant..

It was not a phenomenon created by gathering mana from the surroundings..

It was refined from the beginning to suit its intended purpose, and bursting forth in an instant like a dam releasing water was clearly outside the laws of this world..

‘Is this enough... transcendence? No, not that far yet..’

And Hans just watched quietly as the miracle appeared in an instant..

Calmly analyzing her power.

Compressed magic power is unfolded, arranged regularly, further amplified, constructed as planned in advance, laying the foundation, processed with intention, and leading the direction..

The whole process took place in literally a moment..

“What?!”

“Viscount Pristine?”

It was so fast that the people around him who reacted late showed signs of confusion..

But Se-ah Lee didn't react at all..

He just calmly released what he had prepared..

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee—!

Along with a sharp noise that seemed to tear the air, a beam of cold brilliance emanating from the magic circle in front of her split the air..

A fatal blow that lands upon ejection and can never be prevented unless prepared in advance..

The 'Bingryong's Breath', compressed to the extreme, tears apart the opponent's hastily created dark magic barrier as if ignoring it..

The target, Acrich Dwell, and the surrounding area were completely covered with undead..

So bad so bad!

[Wow! This young one till the end···.]

I felt the concentration of magical energy a little late and quickly prepared, but it was far from enough..

In the end, his voice cut off in the middle of allowing an unexpected attack, and his frozen body slowly crumbled into ice powder and began to scatter..

Along with the undead who were by his side and turned into ice statues together..

Of course, since his origin as an Acrich was in Hans, he could be resurrected later, but the burden that Dwell had to bear due to this incident would not be that small..

“haha—.”

Immediately after the attack, the color disappeared from Isea's otherwise pale face due to the anti-magic spell being activated abnormally quickly..

“Viscount Isea Pristine!”

“What is this?!”

But the others just looked embarrassed and scolded her..

It was not for nothing that they did nothing..

The prisoners are the two people closest to the throne, and the hostage taker holding them is an immortal king..

If you go against his wishes, you never know what might happen..

For now, all I could do was hope that the Immortal King would keep his word and promise for the future..

“···There is no particular meaning. It's just that there's a match that wasn't finished earlier..”

“That's right now···!”

One of the knights under the crown prince let out an angry voice, but she did not respond any further and turned her gaze to look at Hans..

“I apologize if you were offended, Immortal King. Because I'm the type of person who can't live with what's happening..”

She calmly opened her mouth with an expression that did not seem sorry at all..

She seemed to have figured out Hans's tendencies and decided that she would not harm the prisoners at this level..

‘But why? Pointless anger outburst? He didn't seem that careless..’

She was right, but was it really necessary to show such behavior??

Hans looked at her in wonder and then···.

I could see that Se-ah Lee's gaze was not on me, but slightly to the side..

Right to the 5th princess Riley..

Also, through his senses... he could feel the princess's loud heartbeat and rough breathing slowly calming down..

‘Huh, no way. Was it for the 5th princess??’

He finally understood why she did such an unreasonable thing..

And just as he thought.

Isea was looking straight into Princess Riley's eyes..

Contrary to his calm appearance, he was unable to hide it, so he watched in silence as his turquoise blue eyes slowly calmed down as time went by..

‘···wait.’

Isea's attack that reduced the Immortal King's men to dust in front of the captured Riley..

It wasn't just an angry outburst..

It was an expression of belief, and at the same time a signal she was sending to Riley..

As they bonded over the many years together, Isea told Riley everything about herself..

About the existence of unique skills and karma points, and about having to return someday..

Riley, who is intelligent, worked hard in many ways to make it easier for her to collect karma points..

We thought together about the usefulness of her skills and helped her become stronger faster..

Even though he knows that it may hasten their separation, he believes that Ise-ah will not leave him without a word..

‘wait!’

Given that time, Princess Riley clearly knew about Isea's state and the limits of her abilities..

···It was like that. Until before.

Isea had just launched an attack far beyond what Riley had known before, showing her resolve and instilling confidence in her..

Now I know there is no way out.

I will definitely save you no matter what and I will never stop doing that..

Even if that opponent is the immortal king who is the despair of this world.

So, trust me and wait.

Don't give up or despair.

‘until i find you!’

And the brilliant Princess Riley immediately recognized the signal as Isea had intended..

Her eyes, which had maintained her cool even in extreme situations, turned red and her neck twitched, but she gritted her teeth, swallowed them, and nodded quietly..

Her heart, which had been beating violently from fear, was now beating quietly as usual..

[Hahaha—that's funny. Well, that's it. This could also be called entertainment. It feels good to have found another interesting guy..]

Hans, who was looking at the unspoken bond between them, simply took control of the situation and took the prisoners with him and launched himself through the gap in the torn barrier in order to leave for real this time..

There was a brief delay due to the supporting actor's ad-libs, but now it was really time to leave..

All of the remaining undead had been stored in the negative dimension space, so now all they had to do was take the two prisoners and they could leave with ease..

···Of course, the uncomfortable feeling didn't go away to the point where I wondered if I could really go on like this..

‘Ugh, this makes me feel like a bad guy..’

No, it's not because of my mood, but objectively and subjectively, I think he was the bad guy..

He was a very typical villain himself, worthy of double insults..

···The problem is that it's you.

In this way, the Immortal King disappeared from Jeron along with the two captured royal family members..

With only one new drama left behind.

♪~

Click! click!

The sound of a mouse clicking rang out in a room with lively music playing..

“oh? at las.”

After working out at the gym inside my home as usual, I was checking the latest news on the Internet, and in the process, I was able to discover some very interesting information..

-New) Outerica Dimension.

Announced through the World Association of Returnees and officially listed on the Korean branch's website—it was information on a new level..

‘Let’s see, there are two returnees confirmed so far. Besides... the information itself is nothing special..’

The information briefly summarized about the dimensions was all already known..

The informant who lived in the Republic may have cooperated quite actively with the association, although it had a strangely strong eastern feel..

‘It looks like they ran away in a hurry when the Immortal King appeared and madness broke out..’

There was a warning emphasized that the current situation is chaotic and requires great caution as a matter of note..

With a short phrase that the devil has descended and begun to invade the world..

“Hmm···.”

And after calmly checking all the information, I leaned back on the back of the chair and gently closed my eyes..

‘There's something fun about being a party to something. How long will it take for the latest information to be updated?.’

It was said that if the information was to be officially recorded, it would be after two or more returnees were discovered and cross-verification was completed..

Considering the time difference between dimensions, this means that the information is bound to be quite outdated..

Still, it was quite interesting to see the evaluation of one's actions from the perspective of other Earthlings..

‘Oh my, it's time for patrol already. These days, there aren't many that cause big problems, but you still need to check regularly... Oh, come to think of it..’

「He tries to turn into Hans through “object projection” but pauses for a moment..

Saying that information about Outerica is starting to become known means that as time passes, there is a greater possibility that information about the Immortal King will become known on Earth as well..

I'm sure there aren't many people who think they're the same person, but you never know..

‘···Since it is already known as Hahoe Mask on Earth, should I at least change the mask I use when working in Outerica? Because the mask was broken.’

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a bad idea to wear a proper Hahoe mask only on Earth and only wear the broken pieces as a fashion item there..

It felt like a welcome visit, so I secretly liked it..

‘Well, let’s think about it slowly..’

It was a very minor concern.

Compared to the political situation of the Azerion Empire, which began to fall into chaos because of what he did,.
