Chapter 252 – Toward the Empire (4)

After hearing Do-jin’s words that he would attack the imperial castle from now on, Aderange dissuaded Do-jin, saying, “How could that be?”

-That’s not a good idea.

“Why?”

─Isn’t it a plan to become a hedgehog if you fly in the sky at random?

As Aderange said, he told me that this was the capital of the empire, and therefore the place where the largest number of troops were concentrated.

If he did anything suspicious, he would be immediately caught and interrogated, and if he was seen flying in the city, troops would be dispatched immediately.

Hearing that, Do-jin smiled and left his brothel.

“Aderange, you are right. If you fly ignorantly and head to the imperial castle, you will probably become an arrow skewer.”

-Then why?

“If it was normal- that is, if it was normal for the troops to be vigilant, it would have been.”

Fire-! As Dojin finishes talking, the biggest building in the prostitute village catches fire. It was so blazing that it could be seen from anywhere in the empire.

“Oh, that rides well.”
-Did the owner do it?
“No, didn’t I?”

However, if zombies were sweeping through the city, it was possible that a fireman could accidentally burn a building down.

It just happened to be the largest building in the whorehouse….

Thanks to this, a few zombies will burn to death, but at the same time, most attention will be drawn to it.

“The rise of zombies causes the rise of warlocks and vampires.”

Both were gigantic evils that humanity must deal with. Are there even entities that have turned parts of the empire into zombie zones? The Empire will never forgive him.

Most of the troops will be dispatched to extinguish the fire and clean up the zombies.

“In other words, it means when the gap in the boundary is the largest.”

Of course, this wouldn’t have happened if zombies had been planted or set on fire near the imperial castle.

It will be regarded as an attack on the emperor, and he will immediately protect the emperor, and at the same time, all kinds of troops will protect the emperor.

But what if zombies appeared in a prostitute village? The Emperor will hear a report the next morning.

[There was a very minor problem, and it was dealt with.]

After hearing Dojin’s explanation, Aderange wanted to hear that, but…

Looking at the current situation, isn’t it like Dojin’s words are coming true? It was as if the world was on Dojin’s side. Aderange didn’t know much about it, but it was the power of Do-jin’s skills.

When the lucky star is shining on him, the world moves for him. Dojin instinctively realized that and quickly took action.

“Let’s go. There is only now.”

—…… If the owner says so. In the first place, my life was saved once by my master, so I can’t complain even if he tells me to fight at the risk of my life.

“So Ruby, go to the opposite section of here and get an inn. His face His is well covered. Got it?”

“Yes… Brother.”

“Kanta, you too. Don’t get into fights or fights unnecessarily, stay quiet.”

“… Are you really going to do it? Really, you’re going to turn the Empire into an enemy for our tribe?”

Kanta looked at Dojin with an expression of disbelief. Do-jin grinned and made Aderange into wings and flew away.

“Not for you, but for me.”

And the next moment, it flew high into the sky.

The two of them looked up at Do-jin, who broke through the speed of sound in an instant, and moved quickly so as not to interfere with Do-jin.

* * *

After Dojin and his party escaped the prostitute village, soldiers running from all sides saw the people filling the prostitute village and quickly evacuated them.

“You ignorant sluts- don’t bleed quickly!”
“Kuaaaaa!”

And then, the prostitutes stumbling on the street run towards the soldiers.

The soldier, who was wearing armor covering most of her body, did not bite her teeth, but the soldier kicked the hooker out of her feet in a fright.

“What!?”
“What’s up!”
“I don’t know! I must have taken some medicine! Fuck!”

The soldier frowned as he looked down at the prostitute with all her teeth broken.

Anyway, attacking His Majesty’s army? It was an action that could be seen as a challenge to the emperor at first glance.

To dare to challenge His Majesty, the furious soldier drew his sword and struck the prostitute on the head of her.

Chow-! A fountain of blood spurts out, and the prostitute’s blood begins to splatter in all directions. The soldier with blood in her mouth frowned and spat out the blood.

“Fuck, then are these bastards doing drugs as a group and shaking this shit?”

The soldiers who came running late burst into dejected laughter as they watched the prostitute and her prayers.

Doing drugs and burning buildings as a group? Is everyone out of their minds? But what mattered now was not the fact that they did drugs.

The soldiers pushed back the people who attacked them and reached the burning building with a beating.

Fire-! An intense fire engulfed them. The soldiers who arrived in front of the source of the fire all winter quickly took out magic tools from their arms.

A magic tool containing the mystery of watering. Soldiers also took on the role of firefighters in case of emergency.

Shoot ah-! Streams of water shot out of the magic tool and began to put out the fire. However, it was a huge flame that would not be easy to extinguish with just one or two magic tools.

“… Captain, it looks like you’re in trouble.”

“I know! I think I need hundreds more of these magic tools.”

“No, that’s not- there.”

The squad leader followed the soldier’s words and averted his gaze. There she saw the prostitute who had just broken her head, trudging along.

It was only when he was walking around with some blood smeared on his body that he thought that he was a drugged crazy bitch, but seeing that he was walking around even though his head was partially broken and his brain was flowing, I didn’t think so.

There was only one thing that came to my mind when I saw a being walking around that wouldn’t be strange even if I died. Undead. An immortal creature. It was commonly classified into skeletons, ghouls, and zombies.

“Undead… ? Why is the undead….”

I wouldn’t say there aren’t warlocks sneaking into the empire, but would they turn the empire into a zombie version just because they’re crazy? Regardless of who did it, the Empire would crush them mercilessly?

“Kwaaaaa!”

Without any time to care about that, the zombies rushed at the soldiers as they were. Zombies wouldn’t be able to kill or infect them wearing armor that wrapped around their whole body, but fighting against zombies in front of a burning building was, in many ways, close to suicide.

“Communication! Quickly request support from headquarters!”

The squad leader gave the order and swung his weapon at random. The imperial spearmanship unfolds in his hand and mercilessly decapitates the zombies that rush at him.

The squad leader who had been defeating the zombies turned around after realizing that he couldn’t feel any presence behind his back.

There was a ghoul there. Unlike weak zombies who can’t even scratch their armor, a monster that can destroy even an armored soldier with their bare hands.

“Under…Somehow, I was lucky today.”

In the next moment, the spear he had thrown failed to pierce the muscles of the ghoul and broke in half, and the squad leader, unable to overcome the force of the ghoul attacking him, fell to the ground and found a huge sword flying high in the sky.

‘… What is that?’

It was such a beautiful sight that I couldn’t take my eyes off it even in the face of death. A sword tens of meters in size was striking toward the imperial castle.

The moment the sword he swung cut the imperial castle in half, his field of vision his was filled with zombies.

* * *

Dojin, who flew up to the sky, looked down at the capital of the empire from the high sky and chanted quietly.

“Looks like I have something to do with the capital.”
-What are you talking about? Host?
“Why, even in the kingdom, the capital is not destroyed, even here….”

Dojin said that and pointed at Hwangseong. A castle of overwhelming size that makes the surrounding buildings look like toys.

Even when people look down from a height that looks like an ant, its grandeur has not faded. Do-jin said, come up with a way to break into that.

‘I must have wondered what kind of crazy guy he was.’

Thinking about it makes me smile. Because now he’s doing the crazy thing that a madman would do.

Do-jin, who flew right above the imperial castle, felt a huge barrier surrounding the imperial castle. He also realized that he couldn’t go through it carelessly.

‘I heard it only detects magic power?’

According to his rough understanding of him, the barrier was supposed to emit over twenty different curses, including an electric shock, when someone with hostile intentions approached.

In other words, he had to cut down the barrier and at the same time cut down the imperial castle with the remaining energy.

Is it possible? It was a rumor. Until now, there was little that Dojin could do. It was only possible once I tried and tried.

It was the same even now.

“Huh- Aderange, if I pass out, pick it up and run away.”
-The owner? What to do….

In the next moment, Dojin’s demonic sword grew to a size of several tens of meters. If the area increases dozens of times, the weight will increase hundreds of times, but Dojin’s sword became heavier than that.

In an instant, a sword weighing dozens of tons was completed, and he somehow managed to lift the sword, which was difficult to hold even with brute strength, and raised his sword spirit.

“Turn it off-!”

It was terribly difficult to turn mana into the body to realize supernatural strength, and to put sword energy into a sword tens of meters in that state.

However, the gears were successful. Very conspicuous at night, blue black dots tens of meters high bloomed in the sky.

“First of all, I’m going to say hello!”

The sword that flew through the air pierced the barrier and began to smash the imperial castle with its weight and size.

Koo Goo Goo Palace…….

A blue half moon rises above the sky, and the imperial castle is cut out as it is. Even if it was a demonic sword that cleanly cuts through everything the blade touches, not every section of tens of meters was a blade.

Thanks to this, the imperial castle was closer to collapsing than being cut down. On the top floor of the ruined castle, someone was glaring at Do-jin with his chin resting on his chin.

The moment their gaze met with the reptile’s unique vertical pupil, Dojin felt as if his heart stopped.

“…… ?”
—Master, I will run away!

However, even for a while, Aderange quickly took Do-jin and started to run away.

As he flew away, Dojin couldn’t forget the gaze that glared at him.
