Chapter 326 – Theseus, King of the Dominion (1)

After having a relationship with Nayoung, I returned to the tent and took a break to get the best condition while watching the night with my lovers.
And somewhere between dawn and early evening when the sun hasn’t risen yet.
I came out of the tent alone.

“Let’s see…”

I was examining the map Kant gave me.

“Hmm… That’s the river, and if you follow the river all the way…”

As promised to Kant, I intend to bring his family before the final battle.

The village where Gant’s family resides is in the rear right of the enemy’s gate.

After following the river, crossing the mountain range, and passing through the meadow, a lake comes out and a village is located next to the lake.

‘I wonder if…’

I plan to use the teleport to get there in a hurry.
However, this is the first time he has teleported while looking at a map drawn by drawing.
I was worried about whether I would be successful.
Although the internet map was unconditionally successful because it was precise.

“If not, come back.”

I don’t know what the parents’ thoughts and worries about their children are, but as much as I’m a little moved, I’ll let them meet their family again as soon as possible.

Since Kant is a fugitive, problems may arise with his family.

“Then…”

I used teleport.
Light radiated from the blue magic circle drawn under my feet and blocked my vision. When the light faded, I was looking at a landscape I had never seen before.

“Ummm…”

Tried to teleport right in front of the village, but failed.
However, it was a success anyway, judging by the lake and the village of wooden houses in the distance.

Arrived near the lake and arrived at the entrance of the village.

“Did you come too early?”

It was still early in the morning, so there were no goblins to ask about Kant’s family.

‘Wait a little bit.’

At least once in a while, Kant could fool my mind by saying that he was a very talented person, so I was wary of my surroundings in preparation for any pitfalls.
Actually, it’s nonsense.

Maybe 10 minutes passed.

Even an old goblin, who seemed to be saying that he was the village chief, slowly opened the door and came out.

And our eyes met.

“I-that’s…!!!”

An old goblin who was very surprised to see me.
Are afraid

The ruling power thinks that Kryne’s heir has been corrupted.

I tried to run away, but I wouldn’t let it go.
There’s no way a goblin can escape from me.

“Huh, why is the successor here?”

“…”

In this state, it would be difficult to get help in finding Kant’s family.
Shall I explain that I am good?
But that seems like it would take too long.

“Where is Kant’s family?”

“Ka, Kant…! Yes this guy…! What did you do with Kant…!”

“Answer the question. From the looks of it, you seem to have something to do with Kant.”

“My, I am Kant’s father…!”

‘Okay, I found one.’

I’ll have to coax it out like this and find the rest.

“Where are Kant’s wife and children? Guide me right now.”

“Answer me first…! What did you do with Kant…!”

He was quite ambitious, but his legs and voice were shaking.

“Kant is running away from the ruling power and I am keeping him safe.”

“That, what is that…!”

“Kant directly asked me to save his family. There is no time, so hurry up and guide me.”

“Uh, why… Why…?”

An old goblin looking confused.

“I would have told you to hurry. If you want to see Kant’s face before you die.”

“I’m sorry…!”

My words frightened the old goblin even more.
It’s not that I’m killing them, but they seem to understand it differently.

“My family yes…!”

“Didn’t Kant insist on bringing them in beautifully?”

“…”

The old goblin shut his mouth, probably realizing that there was no point in further resistance.
Even if all the goblins here attack, I won’t be able to do anything about it.

“Follow me. If it’s a lie.”

“I’ll give you my head.”

Following the old goblin, he took care of his wife and two children at the house where Kant’s family was staying.

I suffered quite a bit because my family was so afraid of me, but I gathered everything anyway and returned to the camp by teleporting again.

Returning to my post, I took Kant’s family and went straight to Kant.

When I opened the door of the tent covered with cloth and entered, I found Kant, who had just woken up.

“Siwoo? What’s going on here…”

“Dad!!”

Two young goblins called out to Kant and ran towards him.

“Hey, kids? Lina, father…!”

“The promise was kept. My family seems to be quite misunderstood, so please explain yourself.”

I don’t even need to convince you.
If you bring him anyway, Kant will convince you.

∴

After the sun rose in the middle of the sky, we had lunch.
And finally, the final hour has arrived.

“Are all the soldiers ready?”

“Yes. The morale is soaring at the thought that everyone is ending a long war, and I have familiarized myself with the structure of castles that Kant taught me. Now, when the attack order is given, the battle will begin.”

“Good.”

“Tell me something to the soldiers.”

“Hmm… Yes, I get it.”

Last battle.
And as it is a battle that is thought to have the most casualties, it will be necessary to encourage the soldiers once.

I rode a horse and stood in front of the soldiers in the meadow that they displayed while looking at the castle.

“Soldiers. It was a really long time. It was a war that could have been a lifetime for some and a fleeting moment for others.”

The soldiers listened to me.

“The long battle between the peoples took away family and friends and left only sorrow and loss. But as you all have been waiting for, the time has finally arrived to stop fighting and get back together. We will deal with the forces of the enemy who sell our souls to the devil and try to rule this Kryne-sama’s domain with dirty ambitions, and we will welcome peace again.”

“Ohhh!!!”

“Do not be afraid, I am by your side. Don’t give up. You are the only ones who will protect your family and friends.”

“Wow!!!”

“As always, victory is ours! Soldiers, advance!!”

He shouted as he turned his horse toward the castle, and heard the shouts of soldiers behind him.
As I mounted my horse and rode toward the castle, the soldiers followed.

‘Oh, it’s too much.’

This also doesn’t fit my personality too much.

“Good job, Siwoo.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about. Haha.”

Ayoung and Yuri also seem to be quite satisfied.
Even if I don’t understand the words, I can understand the feeling.

“Then.”

In the distance, you can see monsters aiming their bows over the castle walls.

Meaningless
In front of me, the walls are but sheets of paper.
There’s nothing you can do but run away.

“Ex-full before.”

Red magic circle, flames and explosions.
Finally a deafening scream.

The black and high walls of the castle collapsed in an instant.

“Two, cell, four,”

As he ran towards the castle, he fired a series of Explosion.
Every time I used Explosion, the walls of the castle collapsed and the inside of the castle burned and smoke rose.

And one last shot.
With this, even the castle gates were breached, and almost all of the enemy’s walls were demolished.

I drank the mana potion and entered the castle.

While riding a horse, I knocked out all the enemy monsters that ran towards me with my magic sword.
Ayoung’s Great Spirit of Light brightly lit up the surroundings.
The wounds of allied monsters touched by his light continued to heal.

“Have a good trip, Siwoo. Call me if anything happens.”

“Have a good trip,”

“Go and don’t get hurt.”

“Wow, fighting…!”

While being sent off by the lovers, I ran straight to the central castle.
Nayoung looked a bit shy, but she was kind of cute.

“Yeah, I’ll be back soon…”

I was in charge of hunting Theseus, and decided to summon Ayoung using the summoning scroll in case of emergency.
I went straight into the castle located in the middle of the citadel.
A towering castle as if it were about to leap over the dragon in the sky.

“I said it was at the top.”

Kant said that Theseus always stayed on the top floor.

“Not even a single step inside… Oops…!”

“Move.”

As I went upstairs, the monsters of the tribe stopped me.

And many monsters with considerable demonic energy.
After all, it was a last resort, but it wasn’t enough to be an opponent to me.

10th and 20th floors.
30th floor.

Now, the monsters seen outside the window looked as small as ants.
But what is certain is that the war situation is overwhelming us.
I was relieved and climbed higher.

And when I reached the 40th floor.

[The Magi stat has increased by 1.]

Hyewon ate all the high-level monsters with Magi, so her Magi went up and her Magi stat reached 113.

So keep going up step by step. The top floor finally arrived.

“Tsk.”

I did it anyway.
Perhaps they had fled, but they couldn’t find Theseus on the top floor.

‘Can you hear me?’

‘Yeah, isn’t it?’

‘Looks like they ran away.’

‘I guess so. I’ll go down right now.’

I broke the window and jumped down.

Thanks to the magician’s proficiency, he was able to create demonic wings and land directly on the ground.

“Soldiers, Theseus has abandoned the castle and fled! But he obviously couldn’t get out of this citadel yet. If you find him, run away immediately and report to me!!”

He shouted to the battlefield.
Riel used amplification magic appropriately.

Theseus is clearly inside this citadel.
Soldiers watching the citadel at dawn reported not seeing a single rat escape the castle, and Theseus, Kant said, could not use magic.

For now, rather than looking for Theseus, it seemed better to annihilate the enemy forces and find them all together.

Joined the battlefield and dealt with the enemy soldiers.

The battle that started when the sun was in the middle of the day continued until the sun started to set.
The battle was bland.

They also captured four enemy generals who might have known Theseus’ location.

They asked where Theseus was, but they all refused to know and begged for his life.
As a result of checking with the dragon’s eye, it seemed that he really did not know.

With no information to gain, he was immediately executed.

‘Surely Theseus is here.’

I can feel the magic not far away.
However, it was very difficult to pinpoint whether it was scattered in parts or where it was felt.

“Soldiers, find Theseus!”

“Yes!!”

No matter how large the castle is, it is impossible to avoid the eyes of 30,000 soldiers.

The soldiers searched the streets and the remaining houses, and we searched the castle.

And an hour later.

“Found.”

After searching every nook and cranny of the first floor of the central castle, I cleared the cooking stove and found a stone door leading to the basement.

And when he removed the fire that was burning in the oven, he could clearly feel Theseus’s demonic energy from below.

And immediately gathered his soldiers.

“I found the hiding place of Theseus. All soldiers, get away from the castle and wait for my return.”

“Yes!!! Have a good trip!!!!”

The soldiers shouted in thunderous voices.

Receiving their send off, I opened the underground passage hidden in the oven.

“Let’s go.”

“Huh.”
