Chapter 256 – A Land Ruled by Dragons (4)

The fact that the daughter and countess of a rural aristocratic family, whose names she had never been heard of, received a reward from the emperor caused a stir in the imperial aristocracy.

What they paid most attention to was what gift the emperor was so pleased with, and what the two of them were talking about.

However, before asking the story- Aderange headed to the Emperor’s room with Do-jin and Ruby.

In front of the emperor’s visit, Dojin loosened his hands and thought.

‘Isn’t it the end if I kill the emperor here?’

However, as if reading Dojin’s thoughts, Aderange called Dojin.

“Master, calm down.”

“What are you talking about? Suddenly.”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to get rid of it here? Isn’t he thinking like that?”

“… Can you see that?”

“If you live a long time.”

Do-jin, who heard Aderange’s words, scattered his mind. If he was caught by Ade Lange, he was likely to be caught by the Emperor as well.

Ade Lange’s abilities must have come from the experiences she naturally accumulated as she grew older, and if she was exposed only with her years of experience, it was clear that she would be exposed very easily in front of a professional who had undergone professional training.

“I will go in.”

After confirming that Dojin had completely killed her, Ade Lange carefully knocked on the emperor’s door.

Permission to enter came from inside her, and Ade Lange cautiously opened the door.

“Welcome-.”

Emperor’s room. Contrary to her expectations that she would be able to have a conversation with her alone, there was a line of knights escorting her in her room her.

Even more so, she herself was sitting behind her, as if it were a reenactment of the dungeon’s blackout curtain, and her silhouette was her was visible, but she couldn’t peek beyond it.

The emperor, hiding behind the blackout screen, smiled broadly enough to be seen even in silhouette, then gestured toward them.

“Come closer.”

Unlike at the party where they waited in front of the emperor, Dojin’s party stood up and approached the emperor.

It was an act that might have been shouted at by the knights around it, but no one in the room was particularly concerned.

The emperor, who called them in front of him, glanced at Do-jin enough to see through the blackout. Licking with her eyes her was accurate.

“Huh, hmm- hah… Also great.”

“… What are you looking at?”

“Shut up, vampire. If you don’t want to confirm that I kept you alive because I was too lazy to kill you.”

“You know Socheop is a vampire. Even so, I brought it into the room.”

As the level rises, a super strong man who can overthrow the country alone. As Jinjo became – Ade Lange, whose self-confidence had skyrocketed recently, wanted to see that errant emperor’s face distorted.

“You are arrogant. That too.”

Her idea her soon became a reality. The head of the escort knight who stood silently by the emperor like her doll is smashed.

This was Aderange’s plan. Kill the knight So, if this plan turns into a sea of ​​blood, it’s over after that.

No one can fight in a bloody state in front of the true ancestor who has absolute control over blood.

However, her plan failed as soon as it started.

“… What.”

Kwadeuk-. Not blood flowed from the head of the knight he smashed with one hand, but bone fragments. As hard pieces of alien creature like chitin fell, Aderange was able to quickly realize the identity of the knight.

“Dragon Soldier, Dragon Cat Commander….”

“Did you say you were arrogant?”

Beyond the blackout screen, the eyes of the emperor who was hiding his face were torn vertically. With that alone, Dojin could easily know who she was.

She was the one who stood on the top floor when she halfway destroyed the imperial castle, the largest and strongest creature on earth.

Her people her called her her dragon.

“Would you like to check? Vampire?”

* * *

Jinjowa in the legend that came down from the moon.
A dragon born from a cosmic mystery.

It was a confrontation between two mythical beings, and it was easy to guess that what would happen as a result would also be mythical.

And, if they were to fight in this place right now, they would be at a disadvantage. Aware of that fact, Dojin pushed Aderange behind her and stepped forward in front of the emperor.

“So, why did you call us?”
“Calling, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

The emperor, who had been growing as if he would kill Aderange just a moment ago, looked at Do-jin, asking what nonsense he was talking about.

He even laughed out loud.

“I didn’t call, you guys came.”
“Did you know?”
“Okay.”
“Since when?”
“Since you destroyed this imperial castle.”

The emperor trembled as he recalled the memory of that day. A thrill he hadn’t felt since he became emperor.

The awe and longing for the strong, the danger of death he felt when the blade aimed at his throat his, and so on.

All of that awakened the emperor’s instincts that had been dormant.

“Her name her is Athanasia EtheldradΑθανασ æðelþryð.”

As a verb, ‘an immortal and noble person.’

The emperor, who revealed his true name to her, glared at Dojin as if telling him to hurry up and reveal your name as well. Dojin also realized him and nodded cautiously.

“Dojin.”

“Yes, is it Dojin? How about Does she intend to be Yeo’s husband?”

“… What?”

Dojin felt deja vu. Memories that seem to have been heard somewhere begin to creep up.

At some point, it became a constitution that was loved by foreigners. Do-jin sighed lightly and shook his head, saying he couldn’t do that.

“I came to kill you.”

“Oh, that’s right. It’s such a sweet word. Isn’t it?”

“No, you came to kill me? Didn’t you hear?”

Do-jin’s not so wrinkled brain couldn’t understand how a threat to kill could become a sweet word.

Could it be that his brain was so shriveled that it stretched out in reverse? The emperor spread his thoughts while looking at Dojin, who was so stiff.

“He is the emperor who opens. Right?”

“Yes… Ji?”

“To kill such a woman—she would probably take your life, soul, time, effort, life. I would have to offer so many things that I dare not judge their value. Even then, there is no guarantee that you will be successful.”

To the worthless thing of beheading the emperor, they pour things of such tremendous value.

In her view of her, it was a really beautiful thing to do because she was human.

“Nevertheless, you declared that you would kill her. In front of her!”

How thrilling and ecstatic is this. Just as a champion treats a challenger, a hero who has come to slay a dragon must be treated appropriately.

Now, those who dream of becoming dragon slayers.

“This entire empire is a woman’s nest!”

Challenge yourself.

“Break through the woman’s soldiers, and come aim for her neck her.”

I’ll just wait for that The emperor said that and lightly beckoned. The next moment, as if it had been like that from the beginning, Dojin and his party moved to the party.

* * *

The moment they came out of the party, Do-jin knew what they had been through. Massive space movement. A supernatural phenomenon experienced only in dungeons that Ryze, the elder of the Mage Tower, could not use.

‘They say that the only one who uses it is the legendary archmage….’

Are dragons different? Realizing that there would be no way to counter her if she space-shifted whenever she came to kill her in this way, Do-jin pondered over her plan to kill her by breaking through her empire’s defenses her.

While he was thinking about it, the guards who were managing the entrance to the party approached.

“Sir Etalin. Here you are.”
“—Thank you. Dojin.”
“Ah, yes.”

The guards returned immediately after returning the weapons confiscated from Dojin. They didn’t care about the fact that the three of them suddenly appeared at the party, or that Do-jin, on the surface, spoke in a disrespectful way to her owner her, Aderange.

As he had been in charge of the imperial castle’s security for a long time, he knew very well that digging into useless work would cause trouble.

Thanks to this, Dojin, who returned to the inn without any disturbance, faced Kanta, who had been waiting silently at the inn.

“You are back at last! How was it? Could you kill the Emperor?”
“No.”
“Okay… So what, was there a harvest? Did you get a clue to kill the emperor?”
“I was confessed to by the emperor.”
“…… What?”

How to do that, Kanta couldn’t understand at all. In the first place, she didn’t even know that the emperor was a woman, so she just wondered how she could be like that.

However, Do-jin ignored her, saying that it was not important, and lay down on her bed and fell into her thoughts of her.

‘An opponent who overpowers space… How?’

Concerns about how to deal with the emperor’s performance. The answer did not come easily.

Because I’ve never fought an opponent who escaped space before. It was impossible for someone to disappear from this world for a while and then reappear.

So there was no way to deal with such an opponent. Not anymore. Do-jin had to complete a way to deal with the emperor on his own.

‘I do not know.’

Do-jin, who was in trouble, was caught up in that trouble all day, and he couldn’t find the right solution until the next day.

And, unfortunately, I wasn’t given time to think about it all the time.

“Come out. You heinous criminal.”

The next morning, Do-jin faced the knights who came to him.
Empire’s largest army. A royal knight clad in mystery.
A Knight of the Round Table who leads the Royal Knights.

“Did we meet again? He said he would kill me the next time we met.”

The girl with her pink hair said so and swung her hammer at Do-jin.
