Chapter 704 – The King of Two Ages (Complete)

The result of the Corps continuing to pursue the source of the sound.

What awaited them was a wide plain where not even the skeletons of common houses remained, all scattered to dust.

– Whoa!

At Dieffenbakia’s beckoning, the Legion stopped walking.
Dismounting from her horse, she turned her attention to the lingering traces of her magical powers around her.

Only the wind flows through the open terrain.
The traces of magic still buried here pointed only in one direction.

‘… It’s stupid.’

Dieffenbachia thought to herself as she ran her hand through the hardened sand with her blood.

There are traces of a fierce struggle to the death.
It was obvious what had happened here.

This was the point where the two armies, drawn by the King’s magic, would interlock. Lee Si-heon would have faced the two armies alone.
Dieffenbachia’s face hardened instantly at the incomprehensible action in his own mind.

‘Why did I try to fight alone?’

Did you think you could do it alone?
Then, in addition to fool, another insulting title must be added.
No matter how strong the current king is, there is a limit to an individual’s magic power and ability. Even her mother used to teach Dieffenbachia to refrain from fighting with her majority.

‘The crown is incomplete and the magic power is at the bottom… Did you really think people would follow you if you sacrificed like this?’

Weird.
There was no other way to describe it than crazy.

Follow his words A body forced by fate.
Hyeonwang looked down on all beings like us, but the legion and nobles had nothing to say.

‘I moved on the prophecy.’

He was betrayed by the prophecy.

‘… At a time when everyone is busy running away to take care of their own lives.’

Why is this person

Obsessed with playing king It was hard to explain in words like that.
She knew his face. Because every morning, the face of the person who took care of the gatekeeper and always looked sideways was always slightly twisted.

The Hyeonwang had been suspicious of everyone from the beginning, and his suspicions were right.
That there was no need to save us in the first place. In a way, we are all the same as betraying the current king.

Let alone fight, there is nothing to say even if you only get the crown back and run away.
Among those traitors was Dieffenbachia himself.

‘I did something… Was I mistaken?’

Many nobles who are blinded by prophecies.
The old moment of ridiculing himself for not doing so passes his eyes.

He’s going to die anyway It’s just a material for the former king’s ritual. It doesn’t matter how good the character is. Wasn’t it herself who blocked his eyes and ears and didn’t try to fathom the man’s will?

‘Or not… There might have been another ulterior motive.’

Still, Diefenbaika was suspicious.
It was because there were so many suspicious things to believe in everything the Hyun King showed.

What I knew about consciousness from the beginning.
Such as the sly look at Dieffenbachia at her first meeting. It was because I thought that all of this was a board made by the Hyeonwang.

Even if they are Although the nobles and us betrayed the king first.

“… Corps commander. Excuse me.”

At the words of a legionnaire, Dieffenbachia raised her head and looked down at her back.

“What is it?”

Her soldier reported to her in her voice of disbelief, limping on her words.

“Your Majesty is, fighting, fighting… Alone… Against the military.”

As soon as he heard the sound, Dieffenbachia immediately moved on.
Beneath the high, flat hill, the sound of her horses hoofs grinding and iron weapons colliding resounded one after another.

– Ugh!

My eyes narrowed at the echo of magical power.

A large army rotates in a circle, creating a rotation. Thousands of soldiers swarmed to kill a man without rules or tactics.

At first glance, it seemed that knights from other countries were spinning. Their eyes were on the man in the middle from the start.

The moment when Dieffenbachia’s clogged anguish was washed away.
She looked down at the scene with a look as if she had been struck by her hammer.

“…”

If anything had even the slightest possibility, it would have been possible to wrap it up with courage or justice.
Like desperately fighting to protect us. You might have thought that you have become a living witness to the history of the birth of another king.
However, the reason that even such words did not come out was because his actions were extremely reckless and an impossible fight.

‘Full of lust and selfish… He must have been an arrogant man.’

The man called the king tramples the army.

As he spreads his hands, a wind of sand gushes from the floor.
When a soldier stabs him with a spear from behind, he twists his body lightly to avoid it. He fell when pushing on the back.

– Quagga Gaga!

The knight’s magic strikes his body dizzyingly.
His body shrank for a moment, but the king, who pierced through the wave and jumped out, continued the fight as if nothing had happened.

Kicking off the ground, a huge wall grows.
The martial arts unfolded from his hand flew away the knights who were tossing and turning.

There was no hesitation in his movements. There was no gap between the previous and next movements.
The eyes that continued to look around were very desperate to gauge the situation.

Make every moment your best.

Magic with no blows was met with ease.
If it was a blow that couldn’t inflict trauma, I ignored it and pushed it.

To Dieffenbachia, watching from a distance, such a scene seemed to walk a tightrope.

– Perok!

The branch of the previous king burst out and struck Lee Si-heon on the shoulder.

His mouth opens wide and he frowns in pain. Dieffenbachia clenched her fists in pity.

‘…’

What are you thinking about
Now he was fighting on behalf of his subjects to be sacrificed.

Dieffenbachia mounted his horse and looked at his legion.

“What should I do. Corps commander…”

Soldiers waiting for her orders prepare to march.
Their hearts were already headed somewhere. Anyone who saw that scene would have made the same choice.

“Ask the other way around. What do you want me to do?”
“… I am.”

Dieffenbakia, who glanced at the aristocratic lieutenant’s gaze, nodded in satisfaction, then raised her voice.

A kingdom she has guarded all her life.
Within the Tower of Time and Dimension.

Leaving aside her mother’s will and everything she had hoped for, Dieffenbachia cried out.

“Help that man.”

She wanted to break the product of the previous king herself.

* * * * * * * * * *

“Ugh, ugh!!”

A spearman aiming for a gap came out with a long spear.
After reaching out her hand and grabbing the spearhead, she crushed it. The floundering soldier was kicked and stunned.

-Dagdak, dagdak!!

This time, the intruding knight twirls his mace and approaches and strikes him.
He reached out and wrapped his fist around his fist. I opened my mouth and accepted it.

[Sturdy]

When the power of the World Tree was used together, the thorns attached to the mace could not even pierce the surface of the calluses.
It was like swinging a mace against a solid wall. I lightly stepped on the neck of the knight who had fallen from the horse, making it impossible for him to get up.

—…

The former king, who was looking for a gap, jumped out from among the shadow knights.

I was expecting it, but I was dispersing my nerves in many places. My heart aches every time.

– Wedge juice!

After cutting off all the branches that flew in four directions. Grabbing the head of the former king who had come into his bosom, he pulled him down and hit his chin with his knee.

Spears and swords pouring in to help the king with his head bent.
Using the right side as a stepping foot, I pushed away the approaching knights with a large turn.

A gust of wind blocked the knights’ approach. I lowered my center of gravity.

“Sup…”

After taking a short breath right after. I touched the floor with my palms.

【 Cheonma Shin Gong (天魔神功) five (5) older brother (form) congratulations 】

A wide, flat martial art that is optimal for leveling all four directions.

【 Transformation · Four shovel 】

The black petals that burst out of his hands burst out in all directions, blocking his vision and entangling his mana.
It escapes through the gap between the knights whose movement is bound.

– Parbat!

I tried to take some time to absorb the mana, but my throat felt sore.
As he turned his head, the king, who had untied the restraints before he knew it, slammed both branches at him with an awl protruding from his arm toward his forehead.

—… Kkeuk!?

It uses the air in the air as a foothold to twist its trajectory.

-Bang!!

The awl hit the hard floor. Just before rolling on the floor, I put my hands on the floor and rotated my legs.

I wrap the head of the king who is trying to get the awl stuck in the floor into his hamstring.
Let’s shove it into the floor at an invisible speed. Scream that erupted.

“… Hmm!?”

He drops his knees toward the one whose head is on the ground.

【 Yeonhwan (連環) · Dolmae 】

He hits the floor and crushes his entire head. The former king’s head was submerged and his blood gushed out.
Let’s distance ourselves from the king who has lost his will to fight for a while. A rather unbearable feeling of exhaustion swept through my body.

‘I’m starting to run out of magic.’

No matter how good the technique was, a considerable amount of mana was required to neutralize the former king’s attack.

Even if it looks like I’m violating my mind on the outside. Considering the burden of the short circuit, it was quite risky.

– Kkeukdeuk, deodeuk!

The buried king lifted his head and opened his only eye.
Voice flowing from his mouth.

—… Yet… Am.

The more the ritual progressed, the intellect dwelled in the body of a monster-like creature.
As reason gradually returns, the reaction speed is also getting faster. Technology has also increased.

It is a situation where the burden on the body is not easy to rush into the arms.
If I made up my mind once more here, I might have to listen to the part-time job complaining all night.

‘I wonder if it’s better than dying.’

I looked at the former king’s corpse with red waves covering its skin.
Even though he is using the crown, he is gradually adapting to the damage given by the Heavenly Demon Spirit, which is the opposite power.
Skeleton Soldier and all, he seemed to know well that he wasn’t a king for nothing.

─Deuk, Deuk.

King Mokryeong is gathering his momentum as if he is ready to rush at any moment.

If I had been beaten like that, I wouldn’t have woken up.
It is said that the basic muscle strength and durability are on a different level.

“Whoa…”

I lowered my gaze and slowly gathered my energy.
The number of knights has decreased considerably, but they are still swarming like ants.
I raised a white thorn above my shoulder.

【 Thorn 】

Are you free from the influence of the tower? My body became lighter.
As the Danjeon, which had been gaining magical power in real time, regained its stability, the fatigue disappeared.

‘If this works… I don’t have to worry.’

It probably won’t work.

-Tadat!

Let’s step on his foot as if he were being shot with a thorn hanging on it. The body that broke through the speed of sound flew toward King Mokryeong in an instant.

The king’s vision, which swept countless battlefields, followed my speed without difficulty.
As I approached, I bent the power of magic and thorns on both arms. The king, reacting to his danger, unleashed his powers.

【 ─── 】

An erased power that has not been left as a noun.
When the power that was used bursts out, the thorns are crushed so helplessly that they disappear.

‘…’

The body became heavy again, and the slow time sped up.
The power spread from the crown gave wings to the former king’s body. King Mokryeong, who bent his body at high speed, rotated his legs and hit my head.

Raise your arm and barely block it.

-Puong!

A body that is pushed out like a cannon. Bullets erupted from the knights’ mouths.

‘… But.’

I stopped right before I was driven into the cliff and muttered as I shook my numb arm.

Powers of conflicting concepts take precedence over powers of higher rank.
Just as there is a line between those who have crossed the boundary. The authority that governs concepts is also similar.

‘It doesn’t make sense that the one who dealt with the World Tree couldn’t neutralize the power even though it had power.’

The strength built up over the years cannot be ignored.
The power that even the king of the trees could not find a means to, on the contrary, it seemed very easy to cope with the king of mokryeong.

If only I had time to shave a little more power… It would have been King Mokryeong’s side to be incapacitated.
Even if it’s not good for power, the one who has won over hundreds of thousands is the top.

They use the same power and use similar powers, but I really didn’t want to be like them.

‘Is the Son of Man yet?’

I’ve been calling since earlier, but there’s no response as if the trauma was serious.

There was no point in doing this.

Did she go inside herself and drag him out?
Otherwise, he had no choice but to bear the burden and use the crown himself before King Mokryeong completely regains his sanity.

‘There is no way to pass the time… Is it right for me to use it?’

It was a time when I was about to make a decision and move.

-Koo-gu-gu-gu-gu!

The sound of horses’ hooves echoes in the sky, and knights in black breastplates descend vigorously from the hills.

Cavalry fight speed.
Holding a long spear, the hammer that was swung without an anvil valiantly overturned the surroundings.

“… Me, that!”
“Corps… Kut. Betrayal!!”

The armies approaching clearly aiming for the aristocratic soldiers, not me.
The panicked guys tried to line up, but it was too late.

“Come together!! Don’t run away-“

– Kwaaang!

“Turn it off?!”
“Aaaaa!!!”

Those whose defenses had been pierced dispersed in an instant, and the Legion arrived in front of me.

-Dagdak, dagdak.

At the center of it all was a familiar woman in armor.
I looked at the woman inside the helmet with a spirited face.

“… Aren’t you helping me?”

Dieffenbachia paused for a moment to decide what to say, then answered awkwardly.

“… I wasn’t helping, I was doing what I wanted to do.”
“It’s kind.”
“Don’t call me that- Ah.”

Diefenbachia, her face red, turned her head away with a jerk. She was dumbfounded by her cold reaction, and she burst into laughter.

“Why are you laughing?”
“Just. I like it.”
“… It’s okay.”

Still, she sighed.
I braced my wobbly legs and focused my mind.

‘Factor.’

The name of that female little boy who calls again.
If you don’t answer this time, her butt will be on fire.

The moment I promised to hit you really hard. A muffled voice was heard.

【 … Huh. 】

The little boy’s voice was full of water.
