Chapter 270 – Emperor, Sing (2)
As soon as he saw the emperor, Do-jin ran furiously and swung his sword, frowning at the dragon soldier blocking his sword with his body.
As if he knew that, the emperor opened his mouth as he looked at Do-jin, who had stopped in front of him without blinking.
“You are passionate.”
“What?”
“No matter how it is, where is it that you rush without having time to say hello?”
Saying that, she lightly extended her hand to Dojin. The wind pressure that came out without a chance to block or destroy pushed Dojin far away.
The emperor, who opened the distance, looked at Do-jin with an ecstatic expression while touching my cheek.
“Lovely… Also very. I want to cut off the limbs and stuff them to decorate them for the rest of my life.”
“Crazy bitch.”
“Yeah, crazy. You’ll understand when you’re old enough.”
If it goes crazy, it will go crazy, hiding among humans, playing the role of emperor and enjoying the suffering of many people.
Do-jin could not leave such an emperor alone. She’s tired of playing with empires and one day she’ll set the whole world on fire.
I cut it off before her witchcraft burrows into me.
“If you realized that you were crazy, you wouldn’t avoid others and go after them.”
“It takes courage to die. Aren’t there many people who can’t die and live?”
“Are you a human?”
“More than anyone.”
The emperor spread his hands wide and pointed at himself as if showing off his dignity.
“The most beautiful, greatest, and noblest creature on the continent.”
He is the ruler of all people, the strongest creature, and the master of the empire.
As Athanasius said, she waved her hand.
Then, the mercenary soldiers standing still on both sides rushed at them.
“Ah, fighting with these dolls should be done with the same dolls… You go with the girl.”
“What?”
As if he couldn’t hear Do-jin’s question, the emperor took only Do-jin and teleported away. The second time I’ve seen it already.
Do-jin clearly remembered the harbingers of teleportation and the fluctuations of the surrounding magical power of her.
The place he teleported to was an arboretum-like place full of trees.
“…… Where is it?”
“It is my favorite place for leisure. An artificial garden. How is it?”
“How are you….”
Dojin looked up at the sky. It had just been dawn for her, but the sun was still in the middle of the sky.
The energy emitted by the trees was very familiar, as if he had felt it somewhere, and the surroundings were strangely overflowing with mana.
“… It’s all fake.”
“It’s fake, why don’t you call it a replica?”
True to its name, an artificial garden, everything in this place was fake. The sun floating in the sky was a magically created artificial sun, and the trees planted here and there were fake world trees modeled after the world tree.
The emperor spoke while stroking a fake world tree.
“I can’t compare it to the real thing… With time, you might be able to make something that looks exactly like the real world tree.”
“Crazy year. You don’t know what would happen if you made something like that?”
“I know. That is exactly what leisure wants.”
She imagined that one day this world tree would touch the real thing – and become exactly the same as the world tree planted in the lands of the elves.
He imagined the astonished expressions of the elves when they mass-produced beings identical to the beings they believed in.
“The world tree they follow is just a big tree. The thought of saying that makes me thrilled already.”
“It was a really crazy bitch.”
He was silent about the fact that he had once created that world tree with only sex, and that the world tree had sprouted and already created a new race.
So, not only was it impossible to make the world tree, but Do-jin, thinking that he might succeed someday, decided to destroy this place as well.
‘Empire is my enemy after all… It’s not the elves side.’
Thinking of Orion or Celestia, the queen of elves, Dojin decided to move for the elves who were not here.
The sword is blackened. It didn’t come out as violently as before. That method had a low density and tended to waste mana needlessly.
As if coating on the blade, there is a very small, invisible blackness.
Seeing this, the emperor began to laugh.
“Kill her. So let us see the end of this tedious journey.”
The old dragon, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, appealed and spread his arms.
Master of magic. Countless magic circles rise behind the dragon’s back.
“Come, dear one.”
* * *
The dragon was clever.
She realized that Do-jin had the ability to nullify magic.
He readily grasped the fact that it was a different kind of skill from the commonly known mage slayer.
Unlike mage slayers who scatter all magic with just a breath, Dojin’s reign of the Heavenly Demon required conscious action.
So she also found out that if she only used magic that was faster than the ritual, she could defeat Do-jin before she could break her magic.
“Аубурнукључен.”
Lightning, fire, and wind. All kinds of attribute magic flew towards Dojin.
Do-jin swung her sword, slashing her lightning, extinguishing the fire, and slashing the wind. Watching Do-jin cut off so many attributes, the emperor confirmed his weakness of her.
Lightning that flies at a speed that is difficult to avoid, earth attribute magic that shoots with substance.
From ancient times, targeting only the opponent’s weaknesses was a very good strategy. The emperor shot out tens of thousands of bolts of lightning, and created and threw as many stones as if the crust was shrinking by about 1 cm.
‘Crazy-.’
As he cut through the flying magic, Dojin screamed inwardly. Every time lightning strikes, your hands tingle, and every time you cut a large stone, your back and lower body are under great strain.
Athanasius naively realized Dojin’s weakness of his and was shooting magic unilaterally.
‘There’s no room to stop it.’
Blocking magic with the reign of the Heavenly Demon was close to a kind of sabotage. It usually takes time to cast magic, so you were free to interrupt during that time.
However, there is no incantation in Athanasian magic. The moment she wishes, dozens of magics are completed.
It was impossible to disassemble the magic aiming for that short gap. The lightning was shot at the speed of light, and even if the magical effect of the flying stone was removed, physical inertia remained.
It was a countermeasure as if he knew the skill he had, the reign of the Heavenly Demon.
‘—I throw it away.’
So, Dojin boldly abandoned the idea of using Reign of the Heavenly Demon. It would have been better if the other party insisted on such a simple pattern.
I look at the flying stones. Do not cut Leave yourself as it is.
Kwaaaaang-!
“…… Are you?”
Atanasia looked at Do-jin, who was crushed by the stones she threw, and was startedled. Could it be that he died in this attack?
Wasn’t he the hero she hoped for? Is there anything else she can do but disturb her her world until something of her her appears that will kill her, her fearful boredom her overtaking her, rather than her death her again?
Fortunately it wasn’t. Do-jin was wandering around her artificial garden her, hiding in the magic she blew and the dust it created.
It was a very difficult move to follow with her eyes her, so Athanasia spread her magic with a smile.
Did you think she would n’t be able to find herself, since her magical powers spread far and wide thanks to the artificial World Tree?
Unfortunately it wasn’t. In this space full of World Trees, beings that are not World Trees are bound to show signs of conversely.
‘…… No?’
However, Athanasius overlooked one fact. She said that Do-jin not only reigns as the Heavenly Demon, but also has various skills.
And among them, there are skills that make you a real World Tree.
“Wait, go crazy-!”
Dojin’s body his flew surprisingly quickly. Immediately prepared for teleportation, the emperor realized that magic was not working properly.
Heavenly Demon Reign. Since it was a magic I had seen twice, how could I stop the third time?
‘Ah, hero – thank you for finding rest.’
The emperor thought so and turned his body towards the sword. After a while, the emperor’s neck fell to the floor without any resistance.
“Huh-!”
You can’t be careless. Do-jin cut her severed head in half, and made hundreds of pieces in case her body her, which had fallen on the floor, would rise again.
What if it resurrects again? At that time, I really couldn’t help it. He’ll have to admit that he’s an opponent that can’t be defeated with a sword and find another way.
Fortunately, the Emperor did not wake up.
“… Oh, I almost fell behind.”
Suddenly, Do-jin fell over the pieces of the emperor’s corpse. I could feel the touch of a corpse sloshing around on my back, but I was so tired I didn’t mind the discomfort.
A strong sense of weakness is felt throughout the body. How long had he fought so fiercely?
“Hey, Aderange… Come get me…”
He sends a rescue signal to Aderange. Since it’s Aderange who leaves my alter ego in the shadows, I thought I’d hear this voice too.
However, no matter how long I waited, Aderange did not appear. No way, are you still fighting dragon soldiers?
Although the Dragon Soldier was strong, it probably would n’t be enough for Aderange to win … Even her Emperor her and the Knights of the Round Table were defeated by herself, so she is not here to stop her.
‘No way….’
Do-jin quickly raised his body her in a hopeless mind. No way, now that both he and the emperor have collapsed. He suddenly has a different mind and wants to become emperor himself, but?
Fortunately, Dojin, who stumbled and got up, realized that that was not the case.
Shadows begin to fall across the sky. Instead of the destroyed artificial sun, the real sun that illuminated the garden is covered.
The shadow took the shape of a dragon.
——No way, I thought I would kill the real female alter ego.
The old dragon, Atanasia, said that and revealed her true self.
The appearance of an immortal dragon for tens of thousands of years.
