Nanomachine Emperor

[Organize data based on recorded video.]

[Reconstruct based on data collected.]

[The target ‘Croft’ avatar has been created.]

[Your mental protection program is running.]

An avatar created based on the combat data accumulated about Croft.

Croft’s expressionless avatar is my training partner.

‘Deep Dream’ is a function that helps you practice while saving your sleeping time.

Newly opened ability by upgrading administrator’s authority!

‘It’s the same.’

I couldn’t help but be surprised.

Every vein, every wrinkle was fully realized.

It never occurred to me that this place was in a dream.

‘her.’

It was nothing but admiration for Zero’s ability.

But I couldn’t just sit still.

An aura began to rise from Croft’s body.

It’s exactly what he showed when he crushed Patrick.

It was nothing but admiration for Zero’s ability.

It’s exactly what he showed when he crushed Patrick.

But I couldn’t just sit still.

A sword was clutched in my hand.

An aura began to rise from Croft’s body.

‘It’s a tremendous sense of intimidation.’

I wondered if this was how Patrick must have felt.

I don’t know if it’s because of the mental protection program, but other than the tingling in the hamstrings, I was finer than I thought.

I grabbed my sword and took a stance.

The movement of the body was also natural.

There was no awkwardness at all to the extent that it was no different from the real body.

If so, you can.

It’s time to show off the results of your training.

[The simulation starts.]

When I finished preparing, Zero said.

at the same time.

“…!”

Before I knew it, Croft was in front of me.

As soon as he felt Croft’s presence, his sword split in two.

[Simulation has ended.]

He held the severed neck with both hands.

luckily it stuck

And Croft’s avatar was back in its original place.

It will be initialized to the first state.

The feeling of being decapitated was vivid, but it quickly subsided.

This was also a phenomenon caused by the mental protection program.

If it wasn’t for that, it seemed like it would have an effect in real life as well.

‘I couldn’t even swing my sword properly.’

I crumpled this meat.

I didn’t intend to win from the beginning, but it hurt my pride that I couldn’t even swing my sword properly.

“This time with Patrick.”

yes. Croft was too greedy.

I needed to practice realistically by lowering my eye level a little.

[The target ‘Patrick’ avatar has been created.]

[The simulation starts.]

ruler. Block the blow this time…

[Simulation has ended.]

…As expected, a sword master is a sword master.

Rather, I am grateful for the high mountain I have to climb.

The moment you climb that much, the sense of achievement will increase.

“I will do it with Thebeus.”

[Insufficient data for target ‘Thebeus’.]

Come to think of it, I had never seen Thebeus fight properly.

In the end, his head was cut off with a blow of conversion.

It was natural that there was not even data to accumulate.

said Zero.

[You can create a virtual avatar using detailed settings.]

[Use the battle measurement data so far and set it according to the subdivided indicators.]

Soon, several windows appeared in front of my eyes.

＜Lv. 1＞

―This is the level of an ordinary adult male.

＜Lv. 10＞

―This is the level of an elite soldier.

＜Lv. 20＞

―This is the level of a general article.

＜Lv. 40＞

―This is the level of an elite knight.

[With the combat base indicators measured so far, it is possible to create an avatar with a combat power level of 40.]

[You can set the level and set the number of people.]

[Detailed settings such as situation and background are also possible.]

It meant that even if there was no recorded content, a higher level avatar could be created by accumulating battle data.

An all-purpose machine that makes it possible to fight in all cases by setting the level, number of people, situation, and background.

Admiration comes out naturally, but there is something that suddenly makes me curious.

“What level is Croft at?”

[If the result is derived based on the combat data accumulated so far, the figure corresponds to the combat power level 110. It is within 10% of the margin of error, and may vary depending on the situation or condition of the day.]

It’s 110.

still far away

So I didn’t get any more sense.

“What about Patrick?”

[When the results were derived only from the recorded content, the figure of 90 was reached.]

Among the sword masters, Patrick is quite strong.

He was strong enough to share 20 points with Croft.

He’s level 90. So, a typical sword master is around 70 or 80.

“Then how old am I?”

[The master’s combat power level is unmeasurable.]

not measurable?

This means that it cannot be measured.

“Why can’t it be measured?”

[There are too many variable factors. More battle data is needed.]

I clicked my tongue in regret.

Well, I understood what Zero said. Zero itself is so variable, and it is ambiguous to express the psionic energy recently obtained as an accurate power figure.

Of course, you don’t have to blindly trust this level.

When multiple elements are involved, variables are bound to arise.

It is not an ‘absolute’ result as it is said that even zero can change depending on the situation or condition of the day.

In a word, notes.

And for all those cases, it was this space that made it possible to prepare and practice.

“Level 1, I will start with one person.”

So let’s go up step by step from the beginning.

Because it was my goal to check my limits, break through, and rise to the top.

***

“Did you not sleep properly?”

I shook my head at Germin’s question.

I slept well.

The problem was that I met death several times in augmented reality.

No matter how much the ‘mental protection program’ was running, the accumulated pain rushed in at once when I faced death close to ten times.

‘I’ve become too engrossed.’

At first, the battle was fought with avatars with only level settings, but later, avatars with multiple levels were set up to create a dizzying situation in the battlefield.

‘About elite knights.’

If you look at my current level, yes.

A level where you can compete 1:1 with elite knights. However, if he did not insist on a head-to-head confrontation, it seemed that more opponents would be possible.

“Okay. It was just a little tossed.”

When I went outside, shaving my face, people gathered in the town square.

They are all residents of Prelude Forest.

They sat in a circle around the pagan and prayed with their heads bowed.

All the peoples of the north revere Pagan and regard him as a god.

“They say it’s in honor of Pagan, who guarded the forest, and the dead.”

said Germin.

It meant that the funeral was not held due to the Marquis of Bridgerton.

Eventually, when the sacred ceremony was over, the villagers stood up and bowed to me this time.

friendly gaze.

Was it because he accompanied Pagan?

Or because you killed the Marquis of Bridgerton and locked up the soldiers?

Two conscious children approached me holding white flowers.

It was Amora, Aphir, who had been saved from Thebeus.

The two children bowed their heads and handed flowers.

“Are you giving it to me?”

When I asked, both Amora and Afir nodded eagerly.

white flowers.

They thought that the souls of the dead resided in these flowers.

I couldn’t figure out what it meant to me.

“It is a flower that is given in hopes of receiving divine protection. It’s usually right to give it to a family member or companion, but those kids are all lost.”

so he gave it to me

It would be a sign of gratitude for saving him.

“Of course, there is also the meaning of being together forever…”

Germin muttered a little and smiled.

It was because the appearance of Reinhardt receiving the flowers was awkward.

Are you not even able to react?

Good will from others is still awkward.

However, it was something I had to get used to.

‘Continue to give love and receive love. You’ll get used to it in no time.’

Reinhardt was changing his surroundings little by little.

And even he himself changed accordingly.

It will take time, but in the end you will be loved by everyone.

Germine raised her hand and wiped away her tears.

It seemed that even if I died, there would be no time left.

The closed-minded Reinhardt, who did not allow even a single person to enter his territory, now lives and breathes with people.

After a while, the two children smiled brightly and hugged Reinhardt.

“Huh, those stern guys.”

How dare you dare to hug the crown prince of the empire.

“How would you like to be the guardian of the two children?”

“You mean take me to the palace?”

“It is not. After the war, it would be nice to build a school in this forest. The forest of Prelude is an open place.”

“Do you think this forest will remain until the war is over?”

“That… I don’t know.”

Germin answered honestly.

I don’t know.

Perhaps, this forest itself may disappear.

It will happen if Archduke Carlos succeeds in the Northern Expedition.

‘We have to make the Northern Expedition a failure.’

However, I was sympathetic to his intentions.

The north was the same place as the Empire’s aspiration.

The mines in the north were of great value.

However, if you think that conversation will not work just because you are a savage, you are very mistaken.

Also, Archduke Carlos was mistaken.

The peoples of the north are never dominated.

never give in

They will continue to move to reclaim their territory.

The resulting loss amounted to 20% of the Empire’s annual budget.

In times of great famine, the ratio increases even more.

Eventually, the North will become independent, unite as one, and begin to press the Empire.

I couldn’t go through that hell again.

“Jermin. What is the amount of ‘death of the devil’ you received from Administrator Farchel?”

“It was the equivalent of twenty oak barrels.”

“That’s the amount that 2 million people can inhale at the same time.”

In other words, it is the amount that 200,000 soldiers can inhale ten times.

‘It must have been running out of stock.’

Devil’s Death is significantly more addictive than other drugs.

When the stock runs out, the soldiers don’t know what to do.

Seeing as they were trying to supply them in large quantities, it seemed that they had almost exhausted their inventory during the time they stayed around the Holy Land.

In addition, it would also be a supply for a full-scale attack on the Holy Land.

“Burn everything.”

Of course, this is not all.

There must be similar drug distribution centers in other surrendered cities.

‘I know the location. All you have to do is find it and burn it.’

The death of a demon administered by Archduke Carlos to speed up the Northern Expedition.

He would never have imagined by now that this would hold him back.

However, when the war ended and the drug trafficking began, investigations were conducted into the locations where the oak barrels were stored.

So if you find them all and burn them, they will start destroying themselves from the inside out.

Then the road to the Holy Land will open naturally.

7 mysteries.

Guardian of the North.

‘dragon.’

To him, one step closer.

***

Archduke Carlos’ impression crumpled.

“Thebeus is dead?”

“Yes. under attack. It was buried with Patrick and Crow.”

It was another tracking party that had been sent without news for a while.

The news they returned was not easily believed.

Thebes is dead.

Despite sending Patrick and Crow together, he died.

They were sent to prepare for an emergency. I dealt with Croft, and even if it was not possible, I sent it with a composition that could be left out.

but didn’t come back

“It wasn’t just Croft.”

“Yes. It has been found that at least a 7th Circle or higher wizard and Pagan are together.”

The traces of the wizard and the traces of Pagan can be easily found.

And with such a configuration, it was understandable that they were annihilated.

“… stupid guy.”

Tsk, Archduke Carlos clicked his tongue.

Thebeus was the most stupid of the children.

That’s why I took it to the rear, but in the end, the division came out.

Should I regroup?

It seemed certain that Prince Reinhardt had come to the north with intentions.

I sent a letter to the imperial family, but there was no reply.

All I heard was that damn Deus was strictly controlling access to the prince’s palace.

I’m pretending not to know

Or really, even Emperor Deus doesn’t know about this at all.

‘What is your intention, Reinhardt?’

I can’t read it.

Originally, he would have been the easiest guy in the world to read.

“Great Gong. It’s a big deal.”

At that moment, the tent was opened and a knight hurriedly approached.

“What’s going on?”

“’Death of the Devil’ is not coming in.”

“You mean the distribution is delayed?”

“no. It is not being worn at all.”

what is this again

The question was soon resolved.

“Dae Gong! The ‘Lair of Twilight’ has been attacked!”

“The ‘Ice Temple’ was also attacked.”

news coming in.

The raid itself is not a big deal.

The soldiers stationed there are few in number.

However, the problem was that they were all intermediate cities that stored the ‘Death of the Devil’.

Hearing the news of the attack and the burning of the demons, Archduke Carlos clenched his fists.

“What kind of guy…”

Kurung!

A strong gust of wind blew around him.

The tent flew away, and the knights around them also flew through the air.

Kwareung! Quarreureung!

Lightning flashed, and the whole body of Archduke Carlos was whipped with lightning.

The absolute realm ‘Sanctuary’ was activated.

Absolute power that no one can touch!

Even the sword masters under his command trembled in fear and distanced themselves.

‘I won’t smash it.’

Even if it’s an emperor or a god.

Life hovered in the eyes of Archduke Carlos.
