Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

87 – Part 2, Episode 43

“Was the empire this strong?”

The Master of the Magic Tower, who was drinking tea with me, spoke admiringly.

I tried a new way to observe the situation while sharing the view of my subordinates, but it seemed that the owner of the Magic Tower was also grasping the situation in his own way.

It wasn’t strange because she was superior to me in terms of her magical abilities.

“The Empire has always been strong.”

As a result, listening to the Grand Duke’s advice was a wise choice.

“… I didn’t even know it was like this.”

No matter what anyone says, the greatest strength of our allies is me and the Grand Duke.

However, even though the two of us did not step forward, when we confirmed that we were not being pushed back in the war against the beasts who played a part in the great war, I felt that my heart, which had always been heavy since ascending the throne, had become a little lighter.

“Crowl, this guy has grown up quite a bit. My students will no longer be able to compete.”

“Isn’t Kraul your disciple?”

“I took my advice, but I didn’t learn from scratch like the other students. There is no wizard in the Mage Tower who has not received as much advice as Crow from me.”

“I see. Oh, Crawl is about to move.”

“By the way, Emperor?”

“Hmm?”

“A lot of your knights and wizards have died, are you okay?”

As I calmly drank tea and watched the battle, the owner of the tower asked me questioningly.

“I didn’t know you could even think of that.”

“… I love my disciples Other than that, I’m just not interested.”

“Is that so?”

“I know you care about your subordinates too.”

I answered that question with a smile.

“Master of the Tower, do you know how many knights and wizards of the empire died after I ascended the throne?”

“… I don’t know.”

“I don’t know. I memorized it for quite a while, but the number changed every time I received a report. I never knew exactly how many knights and wizards died. The moment I received the report that a thousand knights were dead, three or four more would have died.”

“So, I’m used to it now.”

———————————————————————————

“Now.”

At Craul’s words, a black shadow rose from Giel.

The huge mass of shadow split into hundreds of branches and tied the snake.

The snake, which consumed a lot of energy from repeating countless regenerations, tried to escape from the bondage of the shadow, but could not escape easily.

“The Imperial Knights, get out of your body.”

At Giel’s command, the imperial knights all fell back.

The number of Hwang Young Knights, which had been separated from the inspection team and reduced in number, was further reduced, and except for Prio, the vice-captain, there were no knights without injuries.

Giel sighed because it was difficult to replenish the ranks of the Imperial Knights, unlike the Imperial Knights, but the fact that he could stop looking at that disgusting snake was comforting.

Krawl confirmed that the Imperial Knights had left.

“Guys. Pour it out.”

Since the start of the battle, the Magic Corps, which had been saving mana without using any magic other than neutralizing poison, poured mana all at once.

30% Of the number of people helped to gather mana with auxiliary magic such as amplification and concentration, and the remaining 70% was sent to Crow as it was.

When the magical power of the Imperial Magic Corps was directed to Crow, Crawl immediately wove them together and began to draw a huge magic circle.

That snake spews endless venom and continues to regenerate, but each head is not very hard.

In that case, if I kill a hundred heads at once, won’t that guy die too?

As the snake continued to struggle, Giel, whose complexion darkened, asked with a trembling voice.

“Are you far away?”

“Wait a minute.”

Well, I will endure it somehow.

The Giel Craul knew was the one who would burn his life and bind the snake if his aura were not enough.

The important thing is to get rid of it all at once.

If you don’t, you will be annihilated.

“… Was it like this when the Pale family was a count family?”

“Okay. If that’s the case, I’m a bit curious about what the Count Pale, who said he cut it alone, was a great man. It’s done, Sir Giel.”

A completed magic circle radiated light.

Unlike its scale, the shape of the magic circle was very simple.

Amplify, amplify, and amplify.

Excluding the emperor and the grand duke, all the mana of Kraul, the best mage in the empire, was consumed for amplification.

Pure mana is not suitable for attack, so ordinary mages change it in some way and use it.

The most common case is elemental magic.

But a more efficient way came to Kraul’s mind.

The purple mana you received from His Majesty the Emperor while fighting the wolf the other day.

Unlike pure mana, mana that changes its nature and follows its master.

I knew it was some kind of divine power.

I don’t know when or if the day will come when I will have that kind of mana…

I thought I could do at least dragging and using it.

Well, hard-headed knights may say that it is disrespectful to use the Emperor’s power at will, but isn’t this what Kiriya’s followers do as well?

Crowl’s magic circle was dyed a deep purple light.

The moment the snake saw the light, it ran wild and started screaming, but that was the end.

The purple magic circle shot straight rays at the snake, and all the ancestors of Hydra that existed before the Great War perished without even leaving their bodies.

—————————————————————————

There were two great harvests.

The first is to confirm the strength of the Hwangyoung Knights and the Magic Corps.

In the first place, they were two organizations that were on a different level from the armies of other kingdoms, but I was worried that they would work against the Transcendent, but the two proved themselves splendidly.

The second thing is to confirm that my power can be used by others, and that my power is not diminished.

“… Although that kid was brilliant in theory… “

The magic tower lord also seemed to be taken aback when he saw that.

“I was going to test this sooner or later to see if it was possible, but I don’t see the need for it. To be honest, I was worried about what would happen if other people used Jim’s powers and it became Jim’s burden.”

“I was worried about everything. If that was the case, Kiriya would have been exhausted long ago. How many followers are there on this continent?”

“Well, that’s right. I just had to learn magic, but having to learn this power from the beginning is cumbersome.”

“Isn’t there something to learn? Since you said that you have formed an alliance with the Holy Kingdom, how about raising your prayers?”

“Tsk, I can’t hire another teacher now. It’s because the weight of a young emperor who has just ascended the throne having a teacher is different from that of a conquering emperor who unified the continent. Considering the future relationship with the Holy Land, it is difficult to learn anything from Kiriya.”

Actually, the name is an alliance, but the relationship between the empire and the castle is dominated by the empire.

Kiriya, who is on the same level as me as a godhead, and honestly has a slightly higher rank, still stays on this earth, and the head of the holy kingdom is the Pope, but he is no longer on the same level as me.

However, if I receive more help from the Seongguk, it will be difficult because I will have to go into debt later in the battle for leadership.

Well, it’s not like we’ll just go to war forever.

Because I still have to think after the war.

“One beast is dead, now there are three left. If this is the case, why did you come to my magic tower and threaten me… “

“Ah, look at the tortoise. After all, it’s the Duke of Pale. I never thought I would have progressed to another level in that short amount of time.”

“…… “

_____________________________________________________________

Sword Sword, Phantom Sword, and Space Sword.

Before the hero appeared, it was the three that would never be left out if one debated what the best swordsmanship on the continent would be, and at that time, Lone Fail’s space sword was the most highly regarded.

Because the space sword that slashes the throat beyond the sword and neutralizes all defenses deserves to be called invincible.

He is called the one-man corps, who cannot defend and only forces evasion and drives opponents.

However, the space sword was not invincible.

Defeated by Edelwein and experiencing the gap with the Lion King, Duke Pale realized the weakness of the space sword.

Power.

It was too simple to be a weakness of the Master who discusses the continent’s best, but it was a fatal problem.

Things that cannot be cut even when cut with a sword.

It was so hard that it couldn’t be sharpened, and it regenerated quickly even if it was cut.

The sword of the Duke of Pale could not deal with beings other than humans or beings beyond humans.

It doesn’t matter if it’s normal.

His Majesty already has numerous competent servants by his side, and there are talented people who will lead the next generation, such as the hero Shien and his own daughter, so it would have been enough if he recognized his limitations and retired.

But now the exhibition.

I needed to get rid of my weakness somehow.

Even though he wasn’t a hard worker, Duke Pale was a genius and it didn’t take that long to find the answer.

The turtle was still hiding in his shell, staining all sides of him red.

The heat continues to rise, and now even the three masters are unable to withstand the situation.

Duke Pale’s sword cut through the air.

“Ron, it is impossible with your sword. Rather save your aura… ?”

However, nothing happened.

It literally cut through the air, but the turtle’s shell was not marked with sword strikes, nor the flames and lava split.

“What are you doing, Ron?”

The black swan also looked at this curiously, but Duke Pale didn’t mind and continued to swing his sword.

Even while dodging flames and lava and sometimes cutting through them, Duke Pale continued to swing his sword.

When the speedy sword, which was difficult to follow with the naked eye, was swung close to 500 times beyond 200 times, the Lion King felt an unexpected change.

Above the tortoise’s shell, the space was distorted, and I could feel the accumulation of formidable auras.

“No way… “

The Duke of Pale silently swung his sword.

The Lion King and the Black Swan, who noticed something, moved to protect the Duke of Pale, focusing only on the flowing flames and lava.

” Nine hundred ninety seven, nine hundred ninety eight, nine hundred ninety nine.”

Duke Pale, counting in his head, counted with his mouth when the number approached one thousand.

“And… cloth.”

As he swung his sword for the last thousandth time, a huge sword strike landed on the turtle’s shell.

The formidable aura was condensed, but the sound of air exploding was not heard.

Instead, there was a small sharp sound of cutting something, and a small hole appeared in the tortoise’s shell.
