Sword God (feat. Batimus)

The Vilonia Empire.

Emperor Vatimus.

The Emperor is granted power similar to that of the Hero.

However, the method was different from the Hero’s.

By governing a massive organization called a nation, the level of the nation is determined according to various criteria, and that level becomes the Emperor’s power.

This is called the Monarch’s Power.

When an organization that can be called a nation is formed, the Monarch’s Power also arises there.

The kingdom adjacent to the Empire, the Dragonote Kingdom, also appeared by seizing territory that originally belonged to the Empire with the emergence of its king.

The Monarch’s Power displays the productivity, technological prowess, cultural influence, and resources of each Territory, marking their respective levels.

It also roughly indicates the state of the people in each Territory,

and the successive Emperors knew well how to govern their people through this.

When the happiness level is high, productivity, technological prowess, and cultural influence increase proportionally, and public order also improves. However, the enriched Territory is like accumulated and neglected food; if not consumed quickly, it rots and becomes difficult to eradicate.

The Emperor ruled the Empire using the Monarch’s Power and recently became the Emperor who overcame the Era of Doom.

As if blessed by the era’s fortune, he reigned as an excellent and righteous monarch.

Golden hair.

Golden eyes.

Splendid attire adorned with gold.

In an arrogant posture, he used the Heroes’ community in his office and was watching a video recreated by the community.

And there was one difference between the video the Emperor was watching and the Hero’s.

“Beautiful.”

Anonymity does not work for the Emperor.

The silhouette was revealed,

Anonymous.

The Hero, whose real name is CoffeeAddict, faced the Death Knight with only a sword, without even wearing armor, and won.

Beautiful.

The expression did not only praise her appearance.

He liked Anonymous’s attitude of facing the great threat of the Death Knight.

He had thought that beautiful women tend to be treated well and hesitate to do difficult tasks, but he had to change his mind.

This was the first time he had encountered Anonymous’s video.

He knew that such a Hero was gaining fame, but he postponed watching it, judging that the Emperor’s duties were more important.

Even if she became famous or quickly grew stronger, the Emperor’s aesthetic sense was very high.

But,

“…I want her.”

It not only met the standards of his aesthetic sense but also stimulated his desire.

Anonymous with the Sword of Storm in the typhoon.

She compressed the hurricane and gathered Electricity.

The more Electricity she gathered, the more it began to glow,

and Anonymous’s body became filled with Mana Radiance, cracking her physical shell.

As the compressed hurricane expanded like an explosion, under the clear night sky in the cloud wall, she became the brightest star among the stars.

She dispelled the darkness in the typhoon brighter than the moon.

As the dark clouds gathered again and covered the sky, the light became increasingly intense.

The Emperor,

“…Haha.”

had eyes that saw what even the Heroes could not see.

Those eyes stripped Anonymous of her anonymity, saw her real name,

and numerically represented the total amount of all the power she possessed. The sum of all powers, including vitality, Vitality, Magical Power, and skills.

The Heroes’ levels were simply the number of floors they had climbed in the Tower,

but what the Emperor saw was,

[CoffeeAddict]

[Level] [85]

It was like practical Strength.

Or perhaps closer to value than Strength.

The total amount of power that being possessed.

The Emperor called this ‘Essence’.

For a warrior, the level was practically the same as Strength.

Level 85.

A number he had never seen before.

It was higher than the Essence of the Empire’s strongest Grand Master, which was level 82.

The Death Knights Anonymous faced were also 82, 78, and 76, starting from the highest. The Death Knight who caused the storm was 80.

‘It’s chilling.’

If such power had been directed towards the Empire or appeared on the northern front, they would have suffered the loss of the Grand Master.

‘But to bring out four of such power, he made a bold move.’

As a result, the causality allocated to the King of Death was extremely consumed.

It would take decades for the King of Death to have his turn again.

It meant that the King of Death highly valued Anonymous’s worth.

In fact, when watching the uploaded videos in order, Anonymous’s growth was so dazzling that it made the Emperor’s eyes doubt.

She grew as quickly as a growing child, changing her level enough to know without checking her Essence.

Such growth. He had never seen it in all of history and among all races.

And finally.

She gathered the power of Electricity,

and raised her Essence.

The number was as high as 85.

‘Anonymous said she wants a private audience with me.’

He had received such a request.

‘This is the first time I’ve been so excited.’

Although she is currently unconscious due to the fierce battle and it is unknown when she will wake up.

It was a pity that he couldn’t meet her right away, but considering the Death Knights Anonymous faced, this was unavoidable.

He was surprised that she even survived.

After watching this video, he would know the reason why she survived.

And just in time, a level 78 Death Knight died immediately from Anonymous’s dash.

A level 76 was faced by a level 75 Death Knight that Anonymous controlled.

Anonymous confronted the level 82.

But she was pushed back in swordsmanship.

Her neck was cut,

her heart was pierced,

her left arm.

Her right arm.

Her left leg.

Her right leg.

Her limbs were torn apart, and even her torso was cut.

Finally, her head.

But she couldn’t be Cut.

But what good was that?

The match was already decided.

• But why is she still here;;

The video still had several minutes left.

The comments were quiet.

Just one word.

• Holy

She restored her fragmented body in an instant by creating Electricity.

“Ha…hahaha.”

This is crazy.

The Emperor touched his neck.

To not die even after being shattered.

It was so unrealistic that it wasn’t even surprising.

At that moment, Anonymous created Electricity.

It wasn’t just releasing Electricity.

Ultra-high-density energy was generated, and the Electricity stored in the hurricane responded to that energy and resonated with Anonymous’s power.

Flash.

In an instant, the hurricane became the sun,

and night became day.

It was only for a moment, but that power reached hundreds of kilometers away and illuminated the capital with the same brightness as the morning sun.

‘That thing back then…’

The Emperor had also seen it.

Not long after night fell, he felt a powerful wave of power along with intense light from the north.

He guessed by looking at the direction and the event.

He guessed, but,

actually confirming it through the video,

‘How many times are you going to surprise me?’

The Emperor grabbed his head with his palm and swept his bangs back.

The comment section was also explosive.

People said they saw it too,

they thought it was a meteorite,

• How can you see the aftermath of a fight when the distance is so far?

• I got goosebumps

• Was that light at night caused by fighting the Death Knight?

• Do Masters all fight like that?;;

• There’s no way.

• S-class

Someone said.

• Anonymous is an S-class Awakened. No doubt.

• Hool…

• I haven’t heard of it in reality;;

• Isn’t it just an Electrical Ability user who received a lot of Magical Power and that’s why it’s like that?

• If you could do that with just a lot of Magical Power, other Hunters would have already cleared all 100 floors.

• You saw it in the Dream video, right? She’s on par with Prominence!!!! On par!!!!

• No, that’s using natural objects. It’s different from Prominence.

• Still, it means she can produce the same output if she prepares!!

• I’m getting drunk on national pride. How many S-classes are there in that small land?

Comments presumed to be from Hunter Heroes quickly surged.

“Sevro.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The secretary next to him replied.

“It seems we can’t just welcome Anonymous. Quickly summon the Dragon Knights and have them deduce what Anonymous might want as much as possible.”

“Understood.”

The video continued.

As expected of a level 82, the Death Knight survived the massive Electricity.

But that was it.

The level 82, who had thrown off his armor, resembled a barbarian.

Anonymous’s offensive continued.

Anonymous, who had suffered an overwhelming defeat in swordsmanship, unilaterally pushed forward using only Electricity.

Electricity was fast.

It was impossible to avoid.

Level 85 and level 82.

It is said that a difference of 3 levels appears as a big difference at high levels, but the reason why it was pushed back so unilaterally was because that Electricity was a powerful Special Ability unique to Hunter Heroes.

In that it absolutely manifested in a specific phenomenon, it was like authority.

Anonymous, who had neutralized the level 82 and was about to win.

But,

‘It’s desperate.’

The King of Death intervened.

The level 76 used Flying Sword Style Sword Energy to protect the level 82.

Anonymous was swept away by the flying swords, but she didn’t die and instead dyed the flying swords with her own Magical Power.

In the meantime, the King of Death used the level 76 as an exit and sacrifice to use power exceeding causality on the level 82.

Level 82.

Level 83.

Level 84.

Level 85.

Essence gradually increased.

Soon 90.

Level 90.

“….”

The Emperor could see it.

Level 90 Death Knight.

It became a part of the Underworld.

By assimilating a part of the Underworld into his body, he created a body state in which he could use his original power without restrictions.

He even gave it infinite power.

A hole from which infinite power that even a level 90 could not use was pouring out.

The culprit who exceeded causality.

When the Emperor swallowed silently.

Suddenly,

‘She won against that?’

He broke out in a cold sweat.

Was this sweat shed because of the Death Knight?

Anyway, Anonymous won.

The Emperor’s eyes discerned that the Death Knight’s condition was unstable and glimpsed the possibility that Anonymous might have won.

The Death Knight cannot maintain that state for long.

The Monarch’s Power captured [03:00] above the Death Knight’s head.

He could only maintain that state for 3 minutes, and if he endured those 3 minutes, the Death Knight would collapse and disappear on his own.

Anonymous endured those 3 minutes.

That’s why she came back alive.

That’s the only chance of winning.

Level 85 is also great.

But Essence became more and more sublime as it increased.

The gap between level 85 and level 90 was like the difference between heaven and earth.

If that one moment of discharge, which mobilized even the Electricity of the hurricane, could be manifested without borrowing the power of the hurricane, perhaps they could compete on equal footing, but that was like a Magician using terrain to unleash great Magic.

That was power that came from preparation,

not power that came from the body itself.

The Emperor predicted defeat,

and expected Anonymous to run away.

3 minutes.

Could she really endure?

Unfortunately, the Emperor’s prediction was wrong.

The match was instantaneous,

and the conclusion was also instantaneous.

Boom. The massive hurricane that would swallow even the capital exploded.

The day became clear,

and starlight came down.

“….”

What happened?

When he came to his senses, everything was over.

• ???

• ?

• ?????

• ??

• ??????

• ???

A silence as empty as nothingness permeated.

Anonymous fell from the sky.

Having lost her body that shone with Magical Power, she became naked and created Electricity, and forcibly moved her body with Electricity.

She found something, and the Death Knight was also alive.

“What…uh…”

His spine tingled.

An unidentified explosion phenomenon.

He understood that the phenomenon itself was a bizarre phenomenon caused by the swelling of the level 90 Magical Power and Anonymous’s Magical Power, leaving the unknown as unknown.

But the Death Knight’s injuries concretized that unknown.

Neck and heart.

Ice formed.

Ice formed as if the neck had been Cut, and an ice dagger was embedded in the heart.

In addition, the Death Knight had bruises all over his skin.

There was a battle.

When?

The Emperor moved his body as his subconscious ordered and turned the video back a few seconds.

He reduced the speed.

0.1x speed.

0.01x speed.

0.001x speed.

He continued to reduce it and barely managed to capture the movement.

Only the afterimage that ‘there was movement’ in that fleeting moment was visible. That afterimage covered the entire area covered by the hurricane in an instant.

And gradually.

Gradually. That afterimage turned red and broke the hurricane.

‘So…’

She ran through that moment of afterimage, cut off the Death Knight’s neck, stabbed a dagger into his heart, and even won?

“Ha…”

The Era of Doom.

It seemed he had not understood the meaning of overcoming that era.

“Haha.”

The Emperor laughed.

“Hahaha!!”

He saw a Fragment of that meaning.

“Hahahahaha!!!!”

He couldn’t help but laugh.

“Uahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!”

“…Your Majesty?”

The secretary’s question.

The Emperor stopped laughing.

“Haa…”

Hahaha.

Laughter lingered in his mouth like an afterimage.

A thick stack of documents placed on the desk.

The moment he saw it, anger surged.

He swung his arm as it was and swept everything off the desk.

“Your Majesty?! What’s wrong all of a sudden?!”

“Kuaak!!!!”

He grabbed the desk and overturned it as if throwing it.

“What’s wrong!!!”

Even the knights who were waiting outside the door rushed in.

What the knights saw was an angry Emperor.

He breathed roughly.

But even the Emperor himself didn’t know why he was suddenly like this, so his expression became blank.

Still, he was excellent.

He calmed down quickly.

He lowered his breath calmly.

“It’s okay. I’ve calmed down.”

“Yes…”

The Emperor had not yet realized it.

The specialness of being an Emperor.

The specialness given by the Monarch’s Power.

The gazes of his subjects and the enthusiastic cheers of the people proved his specialness, and this was extremely natural to him.

But he subconsciously realized.

The truth that he had believed without a doubt until now.

That it was a lie and an illusion.

What unveiled it was the flash like the morning sun.

In the Emperor’s eyes, the flash he had witnessed last night flickered before his eyes.

The Emperor was just a mere human after all.
