Chapter 1744 – 226. Changing the Conditions.

Red Moon and Blue Moon

Another world where two heterogeneous moons float next to each other

A stranger who made an emergency landing in that alien world

Seon-woo strokes his chin with a worried expression.

‘What is it?’

It was nice to infiltrate the imperial palace without a word using intangible stealth, but

The problem came after that.

The scale is bigger than you can imagine

This was because I had no idea where or how to search.

‘…I can’t really catch anything with my senses…’

The barriers were probably double or triple overlapping.

So that the inside cannot be scanned arbitrarily.

‘I have no choice, I have no choice but to catch one person and ask him directly’

Although the risk was considerable, there was no other way.

I didn’t know anything about the inside of the imperial palace

‘That would be better.’

Saralarak

Soon, Sunwoo’s body gradually becomes transparent and he completely disappears.

As if it never existed from the beginning

*********

“Damn it!…Emergency work…Emergency work in the later years…I can’t even get my vacation cut off!”

Member of the Imperial Guard

Elite Soldier

Jason frowns and curses.

“There’s nothing we can do, right? I heard His Majesty is away…”

In response, Simon continued speaking calmly.

The emperor’s absence soon causes enormous losses to the defense of the imperial family.

It is quite natural to establish emergency shifts.

“So why did you have to leave 10 days before my discharge? My family trip was canceled and my vacation was cut off!”

“Shouldn’t you have used it in advance instead of saving it?”

“I was saving it up to use it all at once for the day of discharge! Who would have thought that I would suddenly have to go on emergency duty like this! Damn it!”

Jason was truly mortified.

Just for a comfortable discharge

I just saved up my vacation time

I can’t believe I got caught up in this shitty situation

How can you not feel unfair?

“Now that things have come to this, why don’t you just drive a stake in instead of being discharged?”

“Bullshit! Fuck you! I’ll be free!”

“I don’t understand. The Imperial Guard is a dream job with the highest salary, high prestige, highest benefits, and guaranteed until retirement age. Why are you so anxious about not being able to get a job?”

“It doesn’t suit me. I’m not suited for this kind of hard work.”

“Then what are you going to do when you go out?

“I will become an adventurer.”

“As an adventurer, even if I had to choose, it would be better to take advantage of my experience and apply for a position as a guard captain of a noble family.”

“So it’s no different from the imperial family?”

“That’s true, but isn’t that too reckless?”

“Recklessness is how a man grows.”

“I don’t think so..”

“It’s because you’re still young and don’t know about romance.”

“If it’s that kind of romance, I want to live my whole life without knowing.”

So the two begin to flirt, chatting about useless things.

Elite among elite

Although it is called the Imperial Guard

In essence, it was no different from other salaried workers who just wanted their working hours to pass quickly

How long did we continue chatting like that?

Sarak

A sound like something passing by penetrates my ears

Drop

At that moment, the mood of the two guards who were engrossed in small talk changed.

Not a salaried worker who just wants to kill time

It began to emit a sharp force worthy of the imperial elite.

Deguru

Then, he rolls his eyes and explores his surroundings.

But nothing catches my eye.

Is it just the sound of the passing wind?

A car that had doubts

“Ugh!”

Cheolpudeok

With a short groan, Simon’s new form collapses.

‘Raid!?!’

Jason puts his flute to his mouth without hesitation.

The intention was to immediately bring in reinforcements.

But

Drop

Soon I had no choice but to stop moving.

This was because the unique cool texture of metal was felt near Mokuldae.

‘…If you move, you die.’

Instinct tells you.

As soon as abnormal behavior is observed

My head will fall off

I had no choice but to stop moving.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, the desire for survival was greater than the sense of duty

“You’re quick to notice.”

At that moment, a man’s voice penetrates my ear.

“I don’t need to see any unnecessary blood.”

Gulp

Jason gulps and swallows his dry saliva.

“Don’t be so nervous, I have no intention of killing you.”

“…Really..?”

“As long as you answer properly what is asked.”

“…Answer…”

A feeling of hesitation appears on Jason’s face.

“You don’t want to die like this, do you?”

“…If you reveal confidential information, you will die…”

Disclosing confidential information is a serious crime

When discovered

Even summary execution is possible.

No matter what happens, dying is the same.

“At least I won’t die right now.”

“…”

“You don’t want to die like this, do you? You are in your later years and should be discharged.”

“…Did you overhear?”

“Your voice is so loud.”

‘…Damn’

Jason curses under his breath.

It was because I recognized that my true intentions had been revealed.

He probably chose himself on purpose

“…Tell me.”

In the end, Jason raises the white flag.

As he said, he did not want to end his life like this

“I came to see the empresses, where should I go?”

“…You’re asking something that’s difficult to answer.”

“You will have to answer even though it is difficult, because there are a lot of people here who can replace you.”

“…In conclusion, it is not difficult to get to the residence, but it is impossible to meet the empresses in person.”

“Why?”

“This is because of a special barrier spread around the residence, and no one except the emperor is allowed to enter.”

“Why not just destroy it?”

“It is a special barrier created by the collaboration of seven great wizards and three popes. It is impossible to break it with individual strength.”

The Empire’s Great Swordmaster

It boasts a level of strength that even the Count of Aventus cannot help.

There was no way that a single individual could destroy it.

“He’s quite crazy, gathering such super-luxurious personnel to create a prison to imprison his wives his..”

Seon-woo snorts as if it is absurd.

This was because I couldn’t help but laugh at the insane scale of monopoly.

“I don’t know what the purpose is, but I recommend giving up like this and going back. If you go back now, you can safely escape the system… Ah!”

Jason lets out a short scream.

This was because Sunwoo’s merciless fist lightly hit his head.

“Don’t be presumptuous, just tell me where your residence is, and I will take care of getting in.”

“…I understand.”

Jason immediately agreed and began explaining the internal structure of the imperial family in detail.

Because I didn’t want to taste that rock-like fist again

“There are no lies, right?”

After the explanation is over, Seonwoo narrows his eyes and glares at him.

“Of course! It’s just the truth without any lies! Please believe me!”

Jason, shocked, urgently claims his innocence.

“Okay, I’ll trust you.”

“Well… Then you’re going to save my life?”

“Because I promised.”

Sunwoo shakes his head lightly.

From the beginning, meaningless killing was a no-no here.

He was not a pleasure killer who felt pleasure from killing

“Instead, just sleep for a little while.”

“..Yeah?..What..”

Per word

Jason’s words did not last until the end.

This was because he was hit on the back of the neck with the hilt of a sword and lost consciousness.

“Dream a sweet dream, old man.”

Sunwoo mutters for a moment as he looks at Jason, who is lying down, and then continues walking.

Toward the deepest part of the imperial palace

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Soon, a large main hall is reached, and at the end of it, a large door decorated with gold and jewels comes into view.

‘That’s the place.’

At first glance, the door is just extravagantly decorated

It was nothing more or less.

Jump, jump, jump

Soon it takes a step and reaches right in front of you.

And the moment you stretch out your hand

Phage support

A tremendous amount of repulsive force erupts, and soon the hand is completely thrown away.

‘I understand why you made such a fuss.’

The pain in the hand is considerable.

If my body hadn’t increased its strength through leveling up, my hands would have become rags

Seuuk

Soon, Seonwoo slowly lowers his sword.

Hwii profit

Then swing lightly towards the barrier.

Gripping, Gripping, Gripping

At that moment, an enormous repulsive force is emitted, preventing the sword from entering.

And

Before long, it just bounces off.

Even sword strikes could not pierce the special barrier.

‘…I don’t think there’s much of a choice.’

Although I swung it lightly

The sword contained the secret to unite the new sword.

Throwing it away would mean that its strength would be such that even a thousand years would be looked down upon.

‘I have no choice but to be more serious.’

For a moment, Sunwoo’s calm eyes turn sharp.

‘Cut.’

What is in front of you

One thought to cut down

Concentrating on that single thought, I wield the dark night.

So bad so bad so bad

At that moment, something strange happens.

The huge door decorated with gold and jewels began to crack.

Rumbling

And soon it completely collapses and the debris begins to pile up on the floor.

In front of the supreme thought of a swordsman who has reached the level of god

The highest barrier created by the seven great wizards and the three popes together has been destroyed.

‘It’s not so bad that I can’t ring it.’

Of course, I felt tremendous fatigue.

‘Then let’s go somewhere.’

Soon, Seonwoo moves forward, wading through the rubble.

The Last Dragon and the Demon of Betrayal

Looking forward to meeting these two beings

**********

‘I wonder.’

Did you take a step inside the barrier?

Approximately 30 minutes

But before my eyes there is only darkness

Nothing was in sight.

Naturally, questions arose.

It’s a passage leading to the empress’s residence

How can it be said that it is filled with such a dark and damp atmosphere?

How far did it go inside?

Drop

Before long, Sunwoo’s steps come to a complete stop.

‘What..Is this.’

And then he raises his eyes.

This is because in an instant, a completely different scenery unfolded before my eyes.

Numerous torture tools that give us an idea of ​​​​​​their purpose

Traces of blood everywhere

Black iron bars with a reminiscent thickness of pillars

‘This…Is like…’

-It’s like a prison, right?

At that time, an alien tone penetrates my ears.

Hwiik

I instinctively turn my gaze to follow that tone.

I could see it at that moment.

Beyond the bars

A foreign entity taking its place

Huge size with a sense of grandeur

Muscles that are bulging

Pointed and sharp horns growing on top of the head

A non-standard being with two deep and intense eyes

Dragon

The being I was desperately searching for

They faced each other through the bars.

“…Did you read my thoughts?”

-I was just predicting, that’s what anyone would think if they arrived here for the first time.

Contrary to its grand appearance, it is a voice that somehow feels sad.

-So do not be on your guard, stranger, for I have neither the intention nor the power to harm you right now.

‘…There is no power to harm?’

Out of curiosity, I strengthen my eyes and look more closely at the inside of the bars.

“…Huh…”

And before long, Seonwoo lets out a sigh.

Two wings bent in strange directions that are completely broken

The scales are covered in blood and have lost their shine

Deep scars across the entire body

Broken horns

Even the large harpoons stuck in various places

It is a look that fits well with the expression of being a complete wreck

I couldn’t help but sigh.

“…Weren’t you a raceist?”

The Last Dragon

Lacist is the emperor’s companion, the empress

There was no way I would be treated like this.

-Racist… It was also called that at one time.

Confirmed death with no movement

Suspicions overlap.

How can the emperor’s companion be treated as a vicious monster and imprisoned?

“Why?”

-What do you mean?

“Why are you, the emperor’s companion, being treated like this?”

Haha, you’re saying something funny. Did he say that? Am I your pet?

“…Wasn’t it?”

-…He is not my pet. Maybe he is the enemy I want to kill the most.

The most brutal murderous intent blooms in the large eyes.

It’s not like love or hate.

Only hate

It is filled with only deep and heavy hatred.

It seemed like there was a complicated relationship that was completely different from what was known.

‘It’s not bad.’

I don’t know what the situation was, but it wasn’t anything bad.

If you persuade them well, they might be able to take a cooperative attitude with this side.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but cooperate with me, Rayist, and I will free you from here.”

-Liberation… I once dreamed of something like that…

“You’re talking like it’s not happening right now.”

-I realized that it was no use, even if I escaped here, I would just be caught in Lee Jae-hyung’s hands again…

As long as Lee Jae-hyung is alive

The entire continent was like a prison.

Wherever you go

He will find himself somehow

-I think it would be better to run away rather than that.

“What?”

-I can feel a strong presence beyond the passage… It’s probably Aventus or Antoniodas coming here.

It was most likely Antoniodas.

When the barrier is broken, the aftereffects are bound to be felt by the caster

-If you want to survive, it would be better to run away now. Whether Aventus or Antoniodas comes, it will be too much for you to handle.

“There is only one passage, so where can I run?”

-If it’s a passage, I’ll open it.

At that time, Ray Cist raises one of his claws.

So so so so so so much

At that moment, the space becomes distorted and a blue portal begins to be created.

-This is my reward for making you smile for the first time in a while…I guess I should go now.

“I appreciate the favor, but I refuse it because I can’t leave like this.”

But Seon-woo shakes his head and refuses.

I couldn’t back out now.

I never knew when this heavenly opportunity would come.

-If you don’t back down, you will die.

“Aren’t you thinking too definitively?”

-Your magical power is only at the Expert level. Isn’t it highly unlikely that you can handle an Archmage or a Sword Master?

“Magic power is not a measure of strength.”

-Don’t be rude.

“Take a look for yourself to see if it is a guest aircraft or not.”

-Human!

Raceist raises his voice as if he is frustrated.

Kwaaaaang

At that time, a loud roar rings out in the hall.

At the same time

A being with enormous magical power begins to appear.

White hair slicked back

Calmly sunken golden eyes

Well-trimmed white beard

An old man wearing a luxurious-looking suit

Great Sage of the Kaynal Empire

Leader of the magic corps

The great wizard, Antoniodas, revealed his majestic appearance

“It’s you, the one who broke the barrier”

Antoniodos opens his mouth with a cold look in his eyes.

“It’s so fast. Is it even that fast at night?”

Seonwoo continues speaking with a sly expression.

“It looks like you don’t know the seriousness of the situation yet, so I guess that’s why you accessed the imperial secrets on your own.”

“Young man, don’t put too much pressure on your eyes, or your blood pressure will rise.”

Seonwoo calmly accepts the words and continues talking.

Wooooow

Did that attitude feel disrespectful?

An enormous amount of magical power begins to stir around Antoniodas.

“This guy needs a coffin to come to his senses.”

“Do you have the ability to do that?”

“Don’t worry, it’s too much!”

Papat Papat Papat Pot

Soon, dozens and hundreds of magic circles began to be drawn around Antoniodas at once.

The magic began to be continuously layered to increase its power.

-Run away, stranger, this is not something you can handle!

Raceist, who saw this, urgently urges Seon-woo.

Magic stacks at a level that even dragons feel threatened

It was clear that if we responded to something like that head-on, not even a single bone would be left behind.

We must run away immediately.

In order not to die

“Hey, dragon, change the terms.”

-What is that suddenly in this situation…

The raceist feels embarrassed.

What on earth does that mean?

Kwaaaaa

At that moment, huge magic cannons begin to fire at once from hundreds of overlapping magic circles.

Only one person

To kill only Sunwoo

But he doesn’t avoid it.

I just hang my sword and look straight ahead

‘…Ah..This is wrong..’

That man

It will disappear without even a trace.

Because it wasn’t a magic that an expert could handle.

The car that mourned his death like that

-No!?

A strange thing happens.

The sword is swung

The magic cannon that touched the blade slowly began to split in half. –

And

Seokgeuk

The slash flies and decapitates Antoniodas.

The great archmage of the Cainal Empire

He was killed with a single sword.

“I will protect you.”

The person who committed an unbelievable act

Sunwoo stares at the raceist with unwavering, straight eyes.

“So cooperate with me, Rayist.”

Nod nod nod

Ray Cist, captivated by those straight eyes, could only shake his head blankly.
