The strong mana stabilizes.
If you open your eyes like that and look ahead.
“ reduction. Dirus.”
Richie congratulates me.
Soft light sinks around me.
This is because he has just broken through the 7-star level. I felt like I had benefited from the war. If you go crazy with this and that, you will grow quickly.
“What is the situation?”
“The enemies are retreating. It appears that they are preparing for a siege, not a frontal battle.”
“I guess so. It would be scary to hit it head on.”
I looked back for a moment.
An army of as many as 100,000 undead was lined up behind me.
Day 12 of the Uk invasion.
There have been quite a few changes.
Taking advantage of the undead nature of not needing food or sleep, he occupied a total of eight cities and fortresses without rest, and destroyed large enemy armies several times while engaging in two all-out wars.
But instead of suffering damage, this side actually strengthened its military power by increasing its army.
All powerful undead commanders.
If you decide to use the undead, there is no answer.
If they want to win, they must gather all their forces in one place and decide the battle once and for all, or find and assassinate the undead in the chain of command.
Of course it is difficult.
Even just looking at it makes me shake my head.
It would have been very difficult if we met as enemies.
… Stop thinking about random things and get moving.
“It will soon be the capital. Keep advancing.”
“Yes. This country will be destroyed within today.”
There’s no problem.
The war is going well.
Because other countries do not participate in the war.
The Batia Empire had requested support from other countries, but as things did not go as planned, envoys from other countries approached me.
When asked what my purpose was, I answered that it was to rescue the Edelin hostage and take revenge, and that the only target was the Batia Empire. In addition, he even warned that Necropolis would not use its full power if it did not oppose us first.
The name of Necropolis was certainly exalted.
There was no country that openly helped the Bhatia Empire. Even if help was provided, all it did was provide supplies and food and provide refuge.
I guess they plan to end it by sacrificing only Bhatia.
Unlike Edeline, this is a strong world.
The unity that came together for the invasion was weak.
They probably didn’t even know they were going to be invaded in the first place.
Thanks to this, things slowly got better.
The empire was almost ruined.
If you push out the capital, it will collapse on its own.
If I were alone, I probably wouldn’t have been able to destroy a single city yet.
You have forsaken a great debt to the lord of the castle.
“Eggplant.”
“Yes.”
marched.

[How can Necropolis defeat us!!]
capital of the empire.
Condra.
Arrived in front of him.
I could see a huge city with perhaps a million people living in it, centered on a huge castle built on two huge cliffs.
It is so wide that it is difficult to distinguish the boundaries.
It was so huge that I could see other cities inside the city with a total of 7 walls.
Well, it all doesn’t matter.
My goal is the top of the royal castle.
It’s a white-haired warrior who exploded with a loud sound.
Probably the emperor of Bhatia.
He is the main culprit of the Adeline invasion.
Even though it had already suffered great damage, its momentum did not diminish much.
After all, he is a god.
He is the absolute leader of Aaron Valley.
Of course, you must be proud.
therefore… .
I still haven’t come to my senses.
I also let out a loud scream in front of the undead army.
[Free all of Edeline’s hostages. And if you, the emperor, kneel before me and apologize, I will end the war here.]
Out of generosity, I gave him a chance by saying I would accept him if he got down on his knees and apologized.
But I know full well that he will refuse.
Rather, they would be enraged.
[You are definitely crazy!! Tens of thousands of you Edelin people are being held captive in this land. I have to behead those guys right now!! If you don’t want to see that happen, get away from this land right now!!]
Are you going to kill the hostage?
It’s a threat that won’t even work.
Because there are more hostages here.
[okay. Then I will kill the millions of Aaronvellians in this city. This is all something you brought upon yourself. Don’t regret it.]
[Stop the bullshit and get out of here!! or not-]
Bye~
I activated the spell given by the castle lord.
[Mime’s hand.]
Hwiwii!~
The sky turns black.
The world becomes dark.
[What?… .]
A huge purple-black hand descended from the sky. All the Uk looked up at the sky.
Should I say it is the ultimate skill of the castle lord?
A cheat key that was used only once when conquering the first city.
There is no need to wrestle or fight a difficult battle. Because it’s a hot shot that I saved for this time.
This will kill even the ordinary Uk people, but there is no reason to hesitate now. This isn’t my fault, it’s the emperor’s fault.
[How dare you!!!]
Coo coo coo coo.
Hwaaa!!-
Is he trying to block the castle lord’s magic with his own power?
The emperor radiated great power.
Kwahwaak!!!-
He gripped the ax so hard that his face turned red, poured out his energy, and struck it high towards the sky.
A huge and subversive energy.
The energy expanded into a large fan shape and attacked the hand striking down from the sky.
Kugwagwagwagwa!!!
Damn.
Kugugu… .
To everyone’s surprise, Mime’s hand was broken.
Of course, that’s it. The hand, broken into chunks, fell to the ground.
[Stop it!! All warriors, protect the city!!]
The powerful warriors quickly confirmed the location of the fragments and moved. The damage from the castle lord’s magic was minimized due to the joint attack of the god and his subordinates.
If this happens, there will be no more than 10,000 casualties.
As expected, the capital is different.
But it’s okay.
There are a total of 3 orders given by Seongju.
There is still one more step left.
Bye~
[Mime’s hand.]
Whoa!!~
The sky turns black again.
Once again, a huge purple-black catastrophe crashes down to crush the city.
at the same time.
“Attack everyone.”
“Yes. Dead people!! Attack them!!!”
A hundred thousand army marched towards the capital.
The lich prepared to collapse the castle wall with powerful magic, and the Uk tribe waiting to stop it were split apart by the sword energy thrown by the Death Knight.
An incoming undead army.
The magic of the castle that falls from the sky.
[this… this person!!… … .]
Did I overdo my defense earlier? The divine emperor Kamos grits his teeth in exasperation.
I grab my axe once again and gather my energy… .
I can see it in my eyes.
Significantly weakened power.
It’s not enough to show the greatest power as before.
Strike a blow straight away.
Whiik!!~
Kwagwagwagwagwa!!!!
I knew it.
This time, the castle lord’s magic was not broken.
All it did was scrape it off into huge fragments. The hand fell exactly in the center of the city, swallowing one cliff and half of the royal castle.
cook.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!
Wow!!-
The shock wave can be felt up to here.
Their capital is so large that it is actually only about 1/10th of the size, but what is important is what comes next.
“Ugh… .”
Click.
Ugh, zombie.
A bone sticking out of a tombstone.
All living things touched by Mime are resurrected as undead and inflict secondary damage.
Even outside.
Even from the inside.
There is no safe zone.
The undead fought using death as a weapon, burning life that did not exist.
[Hey you guys!!!]
The emperor and powerful warriors struggle in despair.
Among them, Kaidor was also seen. It seemed like his arm had healed recently, but the way he was struggling made it look like his recovery had been slow.
If that’s the case, my subordinates will take care of it.
Pot!!
Board after summoning Lexia.
I reduced it to the size of a footrest and fixed it.
The maximum speed is reduced, but this allows you to fight freely even in the air.
[Haaam~ Finish it quickly.]
Tiring!
◎︎ The protection of the ice mountain rests upon you.
“Thank you.”
This is enough preparation.
“20 Death Knights and 10 Liches, please follow me. I will hunt the emperor.”
“Yes.”
headed to the battlefield.
Your disciple will be waiting.
Let’s quickly finish them off and go back.
When I go back… .
I want to see my student’s smiling face, so let’s take him on the Rexia and have fun with him.
*
“Hmm… … .”
Near the Magic Tower branch.
Rauf, who was hiding with his entire body covered in armor, let out a frustrated breath.
Ronica’s Magic Tower Expedition.
Of course, he also secretly followed.
Even with five subordinates accompanying him.
It didn’t seem like anything special happened.
The magic tower was peaceful, and Ronica’s group toured the magic tower and had fun.
So, I found the house where the Knights of Venus were staying and waited quietly. The Venus Knights guarding Ronica were made up of his own subordinates who had been deployed two years ago, so there was no problem.
I briefly greeted my subordinates and waited quietly.
And the dark night.
The problem occurred at this time.
“The princess and her friends went outside.”
A subordinate knight who came with him reported that Ronica had left the tower.
So I secretly followed him, but he went into a stone house and didn’t come out for over 30 minutes.
“I guess I should go.”
“I will follow.
Rauf, feeling something strange, eventually entered the stone house.
“Underground stairs?… .”
Caesar’s laboratory.
Underground of the Magic Tower.
The stairs leading there caught my eye.
After pausing for a moment, Rauf went down without delay. I was planning on just secretly checking to see if anything was going on and then leaving.
however.
“The road is blocked.”
“Huh… .”
At the end of the stairs, there was just a wall.
It was as if the door itself wasn’t there at all.
So where is the door hidden?
Of course, but you never know.
So I was worried.
Should I break it in?
Should I wait a little longer?
The decision didn’t take long.
Like Rauf, who had been following and hiding his identity for years, he chose the latter. This is because if you break down the door, it may collapse.
It will just be a pointless nuisance.
So, I returned to the knights’ quarters and continued to watch the stone house through the window.
It was not far away, but it could be confirmed from here.
Did another 30 minutes pass like that?
That time when I was worrying and twiddling my fingers.
“Hmm?… .”
When he saw that an old man was entering the stone house, Rauf’s worries deepened because he was a strong man who could not be guessed even at first glance.
An unidentified strongman who belatedly appeared at an unidentified location where his daughter went.
Of course, we can’t just wait and see.
“Be prepared, just in case.”
“Yes.”
Ordered the Knights of Venus to arm themselves separately.
If that strong person causes trouble, Ronica’s group could become dangerous.
So, follow him too.
“Follow me.”
After the old man disappeared into the stone house, Rauf quietly surrounded the house with his men and entered.
If a commotion breaks out, everyone will be deployed without delay to kill the enemy. With my subordinates, I will be able to defeat even that strong man.
but… … .
“The door is closed… .”
“Yes… … .”
This time, the entrance from the stone house to the basement itself was blocked. It seemed like the old man had closed the entrance, but I couldn’t figure out how.
“Look around. Find anything in the house that could open a door.”
I had no choice but to search the house.
If you’re in charge, you want to break in and enter, but if you do that, let alone the possibility of it collapsing, your location and actions will all be revealed.
We have no choice but to handle it as carefully as possible.
About 10 minutes passed like that.
“No way, this lamp… .”
The subordinate turned on the light.
Sreuk.
Drurk!~
“found. It’s a light!”
“Well done.”
The underground entrance was revealed again.
Rauf immediately led his men down to the basement. But this time, there was a wall blocking the end of the stairs, not a door.
“… Should I look for it again?”
“But it seems difficult to find something around here.”
“Hmm… .”
I thought about it again.
Should I break it?
Should I wait?
I closed my ears for a moment and focused on the sounds across the street.
I can’t hear anything.
Ronica’s group seemed to have gone deeper, not beyond. Therefore, no matter how you try to break through this door, there is a high possibility that there will be no results.
Moreover, it is an entrance of an unknown shape, blocked not by a door but by the stone itself.
If you destroy it incorrectly, it will only block the useless entrance.
But what if your daughter gets hurt?
What if you are being treated badly at this moment?
Anxiety increases.
If Dirus had been next to me, I would have waited without worrying about this. Now I feel uncomfortable and a bit anxious.
No matter how much I hated him, Dirus was trustworthy.
Because that strength was suitable to protect my daughter.
However.
‘now… I must protect it.’
I reflected on my resolve.
I made a somewhat risky decision.
“Everyone, step back. The entrance may collapse, so I will go in alone from now on.”
“Yes?… Above, it is dangerous.”
“I will go with you.”
There was quite a bit of opposition, but Rauf did not allow it. Raise your morale and put it on your sword, so that you can cut as smoothly as possible –
“Skull~ You can’t break that. Because there is a spell on it, it will collapse.”
“Hmm?… .”
“Who are you!!”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice was heard from behind.
He was already acquainted with him.
“You… .”
“Isabelle?”
The Knights of Venus, who recognized her identity, quickly relaxed their guard and expressed their doubts.
Why is Isabelle, who I thought was on a trip, here?
“… As Master said. Very dangerous if broken.”
Fiona also popped out to the side.
A somewhat questionable situation.
Isabelle even referred to herself as a skeleton. This is a fact that was not told to anyone except Dirus and his subordinates.
‘Did Dirus tell you?’
In the end, Rauf put away his sword.
She is an excellent wizard. It was better to ask for her help than to solve it recklessly.
But before that… .
“Isabel, the wizard of Venus. I understand you went on a trip. Why are you here?”
There is nothing wrong with doubting anything.
I asked why I was here.
On that.
“… … Mr. Skeleton is attracted to me.”
Isabelle answered with a worried face.
And then he added something incomprehensible.
“We came here looking at the past.”
