Chapter 173 – Chapter 173 the Emperor of the Empire, Iliad Von Imperion (2)

Earl of Jones Mirzion.

He was a wizard from the Principality of Mor, a small country destroyed by the Empire, not by Roman.
The long term is spirit-type magic and the magic of deceiving people.

He doesn’t have high direct combat power, but he can fight much more efficiently than most mages if he uses both well.

Since his magic circle was low, he was treated as an apprentice wizard who could not even be treated as a knight.
Ironically, thanks to him, his life was saved.
All mages above a certain level were executed by alchemists.

Count Jones, who surrendered to the Empire after the fall of the Principality of Mor, added the Empire’s alchemy to his spirit-type magic.
He learned how to manipulate people’s minds more effectively.
Thanks to this, he was able to find out his own magic that puts mana in his voice and penetrates people’s heads.

It became his speciality to create doubts with his own special speech technique, and to manipulate the mind by entering the doubts.

He was trusted by the empire’s alchemists for his speech and magic, and rose to a high position in his own way.
After being in the empire for five years, he knew that the emperor had a secret.

-The Emperor creates an artificial human and puts his soul into the created body to protect his eternal life.

It was a conspiracy theory at the level of a ghost story that a few alchemists talked about.
But Earl Jones thought the conspiracy theory was quite believable.
Since he was already an emperor with a status as a demigod in the empire, the empire’s subjects did not realize the contradiction.
That human life is finite.
But the emperor did not.
It was a lifespan that neither the sword master nor the 8th circle wizard could overcome.
But why the emperor?

‘If this rumor is true, all the puzzles fit together.’

It was a suspicion that he could have because he was a foreigner.

That the emperor, who hadn’t married for 130 years, suddenly took in an empress.
The fact that the emperor, who had not had a child for 130 years, suddenly had a daughter.

It was strange.
And Earl Jones drew one conclusion.

That the emperor would settle his soul in the body of the Iliad princess this time.
A greedy old man who still has the greed of eternal life.

‘Among the people in the empire, I’m the only one who knows this.’

If you use this well, you will be able to win the success.
However, he was not an idiot to speak his mind in front of the emperor.

Because your neck will run away.

In the first place, he had no right to see the emperor.
Those who surrendered abroad did not dare to feel the emperor’s presence, let alone his face.

When Princess Iliad was five years old, he ran away from the empire that had housed her for seven years and headed to Roman Kingdom.
One purpose.
It was to prepare a way to approach the emperor.
He becomes an envoy to another country and has a one-on-one audience with the emperor.
To rise in the empire, the center of the continent, by helping the emperor.

It would be nice to become Guk-seo, the husband of the Iliad emperor.

As a spirit-type mage, he knows how difficult the task of transferring his soul is.
It would not be easy for even an emperor to transplant a soul into a completely different body.

‘I should appeal that I can help the emperor’s infinite life.’

So, as he left for the Roman Kingdom, he further honed his mental magic.
Especially magic that interferes with and touches the soul.
It was a life-and-death gamble.
But it was Earl Jones’s theory that it was better to die than to live wriggling like this.

By brainwashing the main officials of the Roman Kingdom, he deceived himself as a magician with the Countess of the Roman Kingdom, and easily became the kingdom’s sage.
The chief wizard of the Roman Kingdom.
He was too cramped a seat for someone who wanted to be number one on the continent.
The princess grew bigger and bigger, and the emperor’s plan became more and more visible.
Earl Jones knew.
That the emperor would take her princess’s body within two years.

He tried to become an envoy to the Empire before that.

The Demon King appeared.
His appearance disrupted all of Jones’ plans.

He moved constantly to stop the demon king’s army, and the emperor’s attempt to devour the princess was too fast.
Realizing that his plans had gone awry, he was filled with rage.
He broke all the furniture and let out a beastly scream.

And the emperor of the Iliad, who reappeared after being kidnapped by the demon king.
He wasn’t the emperor he knew.

‘The personality of the emperor was defeated by the demon king.’

Right now, in the depths of the Iliad, the personality of the emperor must be asleep.
No matter how hard the demon king was, he wouldn’t have been able to tear off the strong emperor’s personality.
Then.
Wouldn’t it be okay to gamble with your life again?

He revolted after making the nobles of the empire allies with magic and speech.
It would have been absolutely impossible in the reign of Emperor Sieghart.
Because his mental manipulation was the way it started from doubt.

The rebellion was successful.
The emperor of the Iliad imprisoned him in a dungeon.
The Count prevented anyone from doing her any harm.
She is the one who will later become his wife.
When the Emperor returned to normal, he intended to seize the power of the Empire in exchange for his life.
He felt better when he thought of himself to be the emperor’s official secretary and to serve favorably.

The Demon King’s army broke through the castle and invaded the palace, but I wasn’t worried.
The fact that the Demon King’s Army also included the Imperial Army, which believed in and followed the Emperor.

And Earl Jones knows.
The Emperor’s true power.
Having lived for 150 years, his formidable level of alchemy far surpassed that of humans.

So the demon king couldn’t do anything.

“Yes, you bastard…”

See the devil
When the true emperor appeared, he couldn’t say anything and his face was dumbfounded.

“His Majesty the Emperor of the Iliad von Imperion, the true ruler and light of the Empire, has arrived! All worship!”

Earl Jones shouted with a confident face of victory.
He was already blowing the trumpet of victory.
A little bit of damage, but it doesn’t matter.
Even if he became the ruler of the burned land, if he could become the center of the world, it was Earl Jones who could do anything.

“You dare to bring that filthy body into the imperial palace, you are arrogant.”

The Iliad Emperor looked down at the demon king and declared.

“To dare to think of stepping into the capital of the empire with a disgusting and stinky body made the empire look ridiculous.”

There was even anger in her voice.
Of course.
Since a mere demon king is ravaging the empire, he couldn’t help but be angry.

“The Emperor of the Empire declares. You will never die easily. I will rip off your limbs and make you see them alive as they are eaten by wild dogs.”

I saw the demon king’s face rotting in real time.
He had the face of a loser.
He frowned and glared at Iliad and himself with a distorted expression.

‘You lost.’

No matter how hard you try, you won’t win.
The Demon King used most of his strength to break through this castle.
With no dragons capable of filling his demonic energy, nothing could stop her if her emperor killed her demon lord with her powers.

“It’s ridiculous.”
“You are late. Maou-nim, all of His Majesty’s memories have returned.”
“What?”
“Your brainwashing has ended and you have returned to your original memories. He awakened from false memories, realized his true identity, and became the ruler of a real empire.”

A strange expression appeared on the demon king’s face.

“Earl Jones, stop talking nonsense.”
“All right. Your majesty.”

The Iliad stretched out his hand toward Earl Jones.

“Count, hand out your sword.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Earl Jones held out his red sword, a symbol of imperial power.

Sureureung.

As she drew her sword, a golden scale shone behind her.
A golden scale and a red sword.
All of them were items that symbolized the empire.
The scale symbolizes fairness and alchemy, and the sword symbolizes determination and force.

Seeing that splendid appearance, Count Jones involuntarily fell to his knees.

“Ah, His Majesty the Great Emperor…”

Soon, that power will be yours.
Although it was not completely obtained, he himself was the benefactor of the emperor. The greatest…

Awesome!

The Iliad swung his sword.

“… Uh?”

Count Jones’ left arm flew high into the sky, spattering his blood.
Weird.
Why is my arm over there?
Obviously my arm…

“What?”

Does not exist.
I don’t have my arms.
Count Jones belatedly realized that the Emperor of the Iliad had cut his arm.
Didn’t they say that pain comes after recognizing the wound?

“Quaaaaagh!!!”

Count Jones screamed as he grabbed his severed left arm.

“Why!!! I am the benefactor who saved the emperor! Don’t you know that I was the one who saved the princess from being defeated by the demon lord and being imprisoned under the personality of the princess?!”
“I am grateful for that. Because it made me realize again that I was remembering the wrong past.”

The black eyes of the emperor of the Iliad were coldly looking at him.

Damn bitch!
Bitch bitch!
Why is a guy who can look at the world again because of me?!
To think that the emperor would be an ungrateful bastard.
He thought he was a man at least.

Earl Jones gritted his teeth and glared at Emperor Iliad, no, Emperor Sieghard.
Dog-like child.
You bastard will avenge me even if I die…

“But there is something you don’t know.”
“Shut up! No matter what you say…”
“I mean It’s not Sieghart.”
“What, what?”
“I am the Iliad von Imperion. Sieghard von Imperion was turned into a golem by the Demon Lord. So it wasn’t Sieghart you pulled out of my head.”

Iliad tapped his head.

“It is my forgotten memory. The memories I buried with the distorted memories of ripping my motherfucker out.”
“No way… It’s not easy to move a personality…”
“It is not easy. But there are many skilled experts by the side of the Demon King.”

She made her mockery

“Don’t try to understand with a human head. Because it’s cheeky.”
“Oh, no. It can’t be. I’m sure, I’m sure I’ve confirmed it…”
“And I mean. You think you didn’t know I was a synthetic? I knew everything. I was the one who proposed to the demon king to kill the emperor. I also said that I would dedicate the empire.”
“They offered the empire to kill the emperor… ?”

She was appalled.
Why can you be so selfish?
You said you sacrificed the empire for your own comfort?

The blood pouring from her severed arm distracted her.

“In that respect, I understand you a little bit. Because selfish people don’t really care about people around them.”
“Ooh, don’t be ridiculous. I’m not a crazy bitch like you.”

Iliad shook his head as if he wasn’t interested anymore.

“Did I tell you when I was tied up earlier?”
“…”
“I will kill you with my own hands.”
“Wait a minute! If you save me, it’s somehow useful…”

But Earl Jones’s words did not go further.

Awesome!

Her red sword decapitated Earl Jones, and his screaming head flew through the air.

“Oops.”

I heard the demon king’s voice in my consciousness moving away.

“I also had a promise to Lee Ja.”

His head rolled at the devil’s feet.
Jones’s wide eyes saw the demon king’s hand reaching for him.

***

Saaaaa

-Aaaaa!!!!

The soul of the dying Count Jones has entered my grasp.
I heard the pained screams of my soul.

“There is no rest for you. Did I say I will give you more pain than death.”

My voice won’t be heard
You must be enjoying the pain of having your soul ripped out.

It is said that souls who are supposed to go to the underworld feel pain if they do not go.
But what he feels is more than that.
Little by little, he was infusing demonic energy into his soul.

“It is a lifetime. You will not be able to go to the underworld for the rest of your life and will be trapped in this small marble.”

I took out a small orb containing Magi and put Earl Jones’ soul in it.
The scream that had been disturbing my ears finally disappeared.

“I never thought we would meet again like this.”

I saw the Emperor of the Iliad.
With a red sword in one hand and a golden scale shining behind her back, she was looking down at me with a more confident smile than anyone else.
Her lost alchemy power seemed to have returned.

“I remembered everything.”
“Is it? Good luck.”
“I’m a little disappointed.”
“What do you mean?”
“I remember. Wasn’t Maou-sama also able to make it the way it was?”
“…”
“Why didn’t you?”
“I had no choice. A way to piece together the memories of the past while maintaining your sanity.”
“… Did you?”
“If I had known, I would have done it before anyone else.”
“Sorry. Doubtful.”
“This can be happen.”

Again and again.

The Emperor of the Iliad came to me.
The sound of her footsteps quieted everyone present.
The fight between the rebel army and the demon king’s army has already stopped since she appeared.
Now it was so quiet that even their voices seemed to have disappeared.

“I remember everything. Even the things the demon king did to me when I had distorted memories.”
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

At my words, Iliad pulled my collar.

“Don’t pretend. You made me say things that I couldn’t even say, such as sex talk.”
“Is that why you don’t like it?”
“No. But.”
“?”
“Because it’s not my temper to just suffer.”

Iliad pulled my collar and kissed me.
It was a deep kiss.
Perhaps because it was a reunion after a long time, her kiss was deeper and sweeter.
I seem to have forgotten that there are eyes all around me…

“Great!”
“I told you. It just doesn’t suit my temper.”

Iliad lightly bit my lower lip.
It tasted like blood.

“Today I will lead. The Demon King just needs to be defeated. There is no right of refusal. I’m super excited right now.”

Iliad’s face was bright red.
