Chapter 703 – The King of Two Ages (4)

A high cliff rising in one layer pierced the solid ground of the city and cut through the center of the crowd.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu!

A long, winding, sloping canyon stopped the advance of the knights. Earthquakes in the aftermath repeatedly shattered the camp.

-Hee hee… !

The change of terrain and the reverberation of magic that occurred without any warning unsettles even the trained sick horse.
The horses galloping across the street hesitated in uncontrollable fear.

The soldiers looked over the gorge with the feelings of a dog chasing a chicken.
Then they faced disaster once again.

– Rumble!

Countless houses with collapsed roofs.
Debris falling from the sky hurled down towards the knights with a gust of wind.

The soil and dust rising from the floor to the sky became a smoke screen.
A strong wind blew through the gaps in the narrow terrain, driving dust and obscuring their vision.

The knights were able to wring their magic and examine the surroundings.

– Ugh!

A strange wave that spread around them bound their magical powers. Unable to avoid the wreckage, the knights were eventually forced to fall back.

“What the hell is going on…”
“… Suddenly the ground rose up. Uh, what should I do?”
“Don’t panic!!”

Magic is basically blocking the opponent’s countermeasures in advance.

Climbing to the top of the gorge, I applied strength to my outstretched arm, and black magic spread through my veins to my fingertips.

Earthquake.

High-level magic that pulverizes the earth and changes the terrain to your liking.
It is original to create cracks in the ground and emit heat, but with a slight modification to the formula, I was able to move according to my purpose.

‘A city that has not applied magical treatment to its buildings is bound to collapse in this way.’

This is the most demanding checkpoint when a modern state creates a planned city.
How quickly the magic is dispelled and how strong it is.

For simple reasons, to prevent crime and resist the gate.
Unlike Korea, a city that has been peaceful for a long time, that is, a city located inside a tower where technology has not been applied…

– Coo-goo-goo!

In this way, a mere wizard was able to devour the city.

Right after the ground shuddered again, with veins on their foreheads protruding, the pair of cliffs rose from the sky once more.
The knights who were aiming for the subjects by making a hole in the rock wall completely lost their way.

– Support positions.

On the other hand, there was no separation between the subjects and the aristocratic soldiers, and a few seconds before the situation occurred.
Transform the clinical results rolled in your head into moving your hands.

If you apply power to your grip and condense mana. A small bundle of black electricity that slides through the surface of the skin.

There are quite a few dangerous situations that can be seen with the naked eye.
At the edge of the cliff, he looked over the city and continued his calculations.

-Pajijijik!

As if shaking off water droplets from wet hands. When I lightly waved my hand, the magic that was manifested fell down in all directions.

Thunderstorm.

A group of lightning that pours down like rain.

A semi-transparent electric barrier fell between the subjects and the soldiers who couldn’t escape.
On that road, the subjects who saw the gap succeeded in escaping.

After checking the subjects who were running and looking around. I immediately moved my eyes to find the next place.

“Sue.”

It draws in the magic power of its surroundings as much as possible.

The magic power of Danjeon, which was efficient, had been eaten by kings and towers for a long time, but the case of magic power in the air was different.

Cornus officinalis or marbles… Like other world trees, it is impossible to use magic by absorbing it without filtering it. There was a possibility that Chilgong would split blood if it absorbed magic of a completely different wavelength, but the magic here is mostly the magic that escaped from my body.
At this level, it was easy to obtain magical power through meditation.
After all, the magic power that filled the surroundings was pure magic power that matched my wavelength.

– Kwaaaaak.

When you clench your fists, mana is sucked into you.
The veins clearly rose from the mana drawn in at a rather unreasonable speed.

“… Damn. What the hell is going on?”
“Where are they?”

The knights who move in search of a corner arrive at one place.

It was in order to create this situation that he kept digging and building walls.

– Rumble!

The troops that came out of the former king’s body one by one.
The immortal army made of smoke collided with the nobles’ soldiers in one place.

“… Your majesty.”
“If you’re going to die… Are you talking about him?”

The soldiers, who had not yet captured the image of the former king, asked back in surprise.

—…

Center of the army. The corpse of the previous king, who resonated with the dark red crown, was capturing the vitality of the already dead old people.

Dark knights wrapped around him in the direction of the arrow.
A knight standing in the front row pierced the heart of the old man who had accepted death with a spear, and life force was transmitted to the king through the connected black shadow.

A crown that responds like a heartbeat.
As the red energy flowing from the crown covered the shadow, the former king’s body began to heat up.

I held my breath at the sight and asked inside.

‘Factor.’

-…

I called the little boy, but there was still no answer.
He must be late for treatment or suffering.

I needed a crown to put an end to it. I had to wait a bit longer for the factor to react.

-Fault!

Release your feet from the gorge and fall vertically.

Now that we’ve gathered them all in one place, we need to tie them up so they don’t spill out. There was only one way.

-Thud!

The body that fell from the sky hits the ground and creates a shockwave.

In the middle of the point where the two knights met.
When my unarmed body landed there, the faces of the knights showed a look of bewilderment, and those who confirmed my identity couldn’t hide their astonishment.

“… You, you Could it be that you were the one who was cheating until now?”

The guys who called me ‘Your Majesty’ and flattered me just a short while ago are pointing at me with no shame.

Some nobles and soldiers were terrified.
They had been swayed just a moment ago, and they were in danger of dying along with the wrong judgment of the nobility.

—…

When he turned his head to the left, his eyes met the former king’s.

The half crown that occupied his head was creating a strange attraction between me and the former king. Because he knew the direction in advance, he was able to hit the ball.

– Smooth.

The former king draws out his magic once again.

There was no way to survive unless you kill the subjects and steal their life force.

A power that is different from before.
Recognizing the inevitable battle, King Mokryeong took out countless branches from his back and shoulders.

– Pounding, pounding.

An unbelievable amount of mana surges over the king’s skin.

Dark red auras were overlaid on the bodies of the dark knights connected by shadows.
A power similar to swordsmanship took control of the army, and then the wind pressure that could not be ignored suppressed my body.

-Deuk!

The air pressure in the space I was standing in increased, and my feet penetrated the ground.

-Quagaga!!!

The former king’s body flew through the sky and ejected at me between the fountain-like magic fields.

‘…’

Increase magic attribute and increase output.
When it was replaced with demonic energy and covered the body, the spots that appeared weakly floated on the skin.

Let the aristocratic soldier, who was watching, shout.

“… Lung, help Your Majesty!!!”
“Aaaaa!!!”

The army of the former king, who covered my front, rushed along with King Mokryeong.

In the rear, a nobleman’s soldier held out a spear and forced death.

From one to ten. A scene drawn in my head.

-Widely.

Touch the ground to release magic power. I could read the movement of life spreading in all directions without looking at it with my own eyes.

There are no allies.
Blood and blood alone, mana is insufficient.

I wonder if there will be cases where those who have been influenced by me use spears and swords, but I intentionally made the board not to.
You can’t force non-soldiers to raise their swords.

“Whoa…”

Exhale and straighten your posture.
An uncontrollable flow of magical power poured down through the king’s body.

Blows at high speed, equivalent to the weight of thousands of tons, rained down on me as I stood alone.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

Does not exist.

‘It’s gone.’

As the cliffs that separated the road began to crumble one by one, Dieffenbakia quickly followed Siheon Lee’s trail.

The last time I saw him was a few minutes ago.
It was the last time he was leisurely pouring out magic from the top of the gorge.

‘… Is that guy stupid? He said he would take care of the army alone?’

– Woo-woo-woo!

The magic that exploded from a certain point made a shimmer in the sky.

Even in the daytime, the darkened sky, even though the sun was hidden, there was no great difficulty recognizing the surroundings.

Dieffenbachia hastily turned his back toward the source of his magical power.

“Where are you going?”
“…”

A frivolous man’s voice came from right behind him.

“I thought you were going to deal with my older brother alone. Do you really need help?”
“… Why don’t you guys move when you say that?”
“I’m going to the castle.”
“Didn’t you just say that serving the king was the right thing to do?”

I did.
But tenacity goes too far.
The sun, which had lost some magical powers and the power of a king, was not strong enough to stand up to an army.

He put the Aori he was holding down for a moment and answered seriously.

“Can’t you just look at it?”

May the sun come, pointing to the part where the wall rose.

“If you point to the place where the wall rose, you will be facing the fort. It must be to protect the subjects who will gather there. That goes for you too.”

What gives stability to those in anxiety is, arguably, the corps commander they believe in.
Dieffenbachia stared at the sun and replied nervously.

“… Are you telling me to leave the situation alone? You spoke well. If you’re brave, that’s what your monarch is doing now.”

Too much courage
However, Taeyang has seen Lee Si-heon’s unexpected behavior a long time ago.

There was a time when I entered a war in Russia to protect Sansuyu. At times, they themselves became targets of subjugation.

With such a monarch, Taeyang could keep his cool even in absurd situations like this.

“I don’t have time. So you’re really going to help your brother? Didn’t you hate your brother?”
“… The words are different.”

I’m not helping Lee Si-heon. This is for the people who stay here.

“Why should I listen to that human?”

Not stubborn
There were many things I hadn’t seen yet.

– Thump, thump, thump.

Dieffenbachia put his hand on his breastplate and caught his breath.
His surprised heart does not calm down. Her face reflected in her helmet was pale.

“… I don’t like them all.”

A place that has been cherished.
The old people who died and the people who ran away were all objects to be protected by her.

In the center of the plaza, who had longed for her mother since her nose prickling days, and came out to the village every time to act as her captain.

Now he really has become the one to lead the Legion, but what the hell did he do until things turned out like this?

At that time. The old man who appeared as if the shadow had lifted sneered.

“If you hadn’t joined him, the ceremony wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
“… Rex Begonia. “

A quiet rage settled in Dieffenbachia’s eyes.

“If the Hyeonwang hadn’t run amok in the first place, these innocent old people wouldn’t have to die. He must have slowly raised his vitality and tried to resurrect.”

Petals blooming all over the man’s body rustle as if mocking Dieffenbachia.

Her sun shouted at her.

“Don’t listen.”
“…”

Can that be said?
Her bright eyes were bloodshot and trembled.

“It’s ambiguous. So your year will be ruined like a mother. What did you gain by spreading your legs? Pleasure? Her. I will be enslaved, used for the rest of my life, and then thrown away.”

-Fuhoong!

A huge grate narrowly missed Rex’s neck.

Rex floated slowly through the sky and ran away. Dieffenbachia pursued his tail with a weakened gaze.

Knight’s Faith.
It had already collapsed under his legs once… The wick was much thinner than before.

“Brigade commander!!”
“…”

Her late crowded corps came to her and shouted at her.

“What are you going to do? We will all follow the captain’s orders.”
“Please leave it to me. I will follow you anywhere. Are you Your Majesty? Or not… Are you the former king?”

Her corps, more than 80 percent of her, offered her neck without hesitation.
A look that shows how strong Dieffenbachia’s popularity was.
Taeyang and Aori also looked a little surprised.

“…”

Dieffenbachia lifted her head and looked around widely at her own soldiers.

Her crippled pride hangs her.
One female knight in agony stood blankly for a long time. Then she lifted her head as if resolving.

It is impossible to give up on a dream no matter how sheer it is.
She clenched her fists.

“This place… It is a very precious place for us. It was where I appointed you, trusted you, and made you obey. Burning it, no matter how many times I think about it, I don’t think it was the former king’s will.”

Dieffenbachia, who gazed at her ruined plaza as if it were precious, was stunned.

“Where are the words… ?”
“Here it is.”

Mounted on the mare she had been with all her life, Dieffenbachia exhaled and looked at her sun.

In her eyes full of determination, her sun raised her hands as if in surrender.

“Sun.”
“Uh.”
“Take this. At least if you show it, there will be people who will believe it.”

The black epaulet that lightly flew through the sky was held in the sun’s hand.
An old right epaulet that is covered with Dieffenbachia’s handprints.

Was it inherited from ancestors?
Her sun held her back in her eyes.

“Get in line.”
“Yes!!!!!”

The voice of my corps echoes through the sky.

The back of the corps commander with only the left epaulette attached was quite dependable and beautiful.
