Episode 209 Guardian of Iron Blood ‘Empire’ (3)
The conference hall where everyone in the room froze.
gulp!
The sound of dry spitting was heard here and there.
-I can’t believe such a talented person has suddenly fallen… … .
-If we can recruit him into our family, we can change the world in an instant.
-Becoming an artist is not just a dream. You’re saying he’s at the same level of skill as the best knight commander in the empire, right?
-With this, we can definitely win the war against the martial arts. Nothing like cancer.
It was unfortunate that he was not the son of a noble with a guaranteed lineage, but if he was a man of the Grand Sword Master level, he could tolerate the difference in status.
In particular, the empire is currently preparing for war against the martial arts.
It hurts my mouth to even say how valuable outstanding talent is.
It was a time when everyone was anxiously waiting for the right time to talk to Jinhyuk.
“What are you all being deceived by right now? Don’t you think of bringing out that heretic who uses evil magic right now!”
A new person intervened.
Age: approximately mid 40s.
Although it was not a martial artist, the sharp force flowing from its body actually surpassed that of a martial artist.
I was able to guess who the other person was without having to use ‘Eyes of Gluttony’.
Duke of Beinsteln.
He is the most powerful person in the empire, both in name and reality, and threatens the imperial power, and is an internal spy who has joined hands with the martial arts group.
I came face to face with the person responsible for the information I heard from Gandhara.
“B-Duke Veinsteln?”
“What do you mean, pagan?”
The sudden remark caused a stir once again.
However, Beinsteln quickly dismissed everyone’s suspicions.
“Didn’t you also see him using a black Auror Blade?”
A normal auror should have a blue tint.
However, Jinhyeok’s auror was dark black due to the effect of ‘Sword’s Grave’.
“Come to think of it…….”
“It’s definitely a strange color. Something like that… is something you only see among necromancers or martial artists.”
“You mean it’s not Auror Blade?”
Unlike the 17 kingdoms in the past, it currently consists of 7 kingdoms.
The fact that it is a sacred empire that serves the goddess ‘Peris’ has not changed.
This means that the entire population and leadership are extremely sensitive to heresy.
Bainsteln tried to put pressure on Jinhyuk by taking advantage of that point.
“Wow. My status keeps changing. From a martial artist to a pagan. If I go later, I might even hear people call me a devil.”
“If you feel wronged, give up your arms and surrender. If you do so, you will be given the opportunity to plead your case through a fair trial and interrogation.”
“Can the adjective ‘fair’ be attached to something that tortures you like a parrot until it says what you want?”
Jinhyuk chuckled.
I’ve heard this repertoire so many times that it’s not fresh.
so… … .
“If you have something to say, ask for it with your skills.”
The tip of the dagger was pointed at Bainsteln.
“Your skills are great, but you don’t seem to have a good grasp of the situation. What are you going to do by coming here all by yourself?”
This is an empire.
It is also the place where the most important military conference is held.
Even though the captain of the Royal Guard was absurdly defeated… … .
This means that a ‘real talented person’ who can replace such a guy can be brought in at any time.
With that said, finally.
Jerk.
I started to hear footsteps.
The air has changed.
‘Is he coming too?’
Jinhyuk’s eyes turned towards the door.
Still, I thought it would be a little easier, but it doesn’t seem like it will be that way.
“Hmm. We’re not too late, are we?”
A cheerful voice was heard from outside the conference room.
Age: approximately early to mid 20s.
He is a man wearing casual clothes, with blonde hair and green eyes.
At first glance, you might think he looks like the innocent-looking bachelor from next door, but you should never judge him based on his looks alone.
The strongest weapon possessed by the Empire.
He is a Grand Sword Master who is evaluated as having a power that surpasses that of a knightly order comprised entirely of Sword Masters.
‘Abraham de Felicia.’
I never thought I would meet this poisonous species again so soon.
Moreover, next to Abraham was Mackenzie, one of the top ten men in the empire.
I thought both of them would have gone to the front lines to deal with Murim by now… … .
‘Is there something else going on?’
It occurred to me that perhaps other variables, not just the empire, were involved.
Jinhyuk viewed the opponent’s status window through ‘Eyes of Gluttony’.

[Detailed description: Abraham, the first son of the Empire’s prestigious Felicia family, felt magical powers from the age of five and showed a natural talent for swordsmanship. And at the age of 16, he reached the level of a sword master who could fully possess the form of an Auror, and at the age of 24, he realized the principles of an Auror and reached the level of a Grand Sword Master. He is known to have wielded the sword for non-emperor nobles, most notably in the direct line of Duke Bein Stelln.]
[Copy conditions: Abraham cares a lot about his best friend and colleague, McKenzie. However, Mackenzie, a perfect knight, has been suffering from an illness since childhood that even court wizards cannot help… … If you open that wound, you will be able to copy one of Abraham’s unique abilities and skills. (Please add at least 3 creative comments.)]
indeed… … .
I have nothing to say other than that just reading the stats is amazing.
It’s amazing that the level is over 100, and even the stat ‘Extra Sense’, which allows you to predict the opponent’s movements, is in the 3 digits.
‘An absolute monster.’
His specs are superior to any other players or residents he has encountered so far.
So much so that it is said to be completely outside the standards.
The fluff standing up all over my body and my heart beating fast felt unfamiliar.
At the same time, a strange sense of anticipation arose as I thought that the more I climbed the tower, the more contact I would have with these powerful enemies.
‘The whole pumpkin came in on the vine.’
Since you are faced with this opportunity, you must make sure the copy condition succeeds no matter what you do.
In particular, ‘Speed Sword’ will have good synergy with currently stored skills.
Assuming that you can obtain a higher version of the skill through fusion… … Well, if I miss this, I won’t be able to sleep well for a month.
however.
“……!?”
An earthquake occurred in Jinhyeok’s eyes as he was checking the most important copying conditions.
It had to be that way.
MacKensy is perfect in everything, from his literary skills to his pedigree.
His only wound and trauma was his bare, empty head.
＊＊＊
“Huh, no. You came at just the right time.”
Beinsteln burst into laughter, looking like he had gained the most reliable ally in the world.
“Then that’s a good thing. So this is the intruder who pointed his sword at the imperial knights?”
“My friend, the liver went overboard. I dared to commit disrespect in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Please tell me how serious a serious sin that is.”
“All right.”
Abraham reached for his sword.
Right then.
“There is no need to go all the way to Sir Abraham. Leave this to me.”
McKenzie took a step forward.
“Are you feeling itchy? The duke gave me an order.”
“It doesn’t look good for the Empire’s First Sword to fight against just one intruder.”
“Hmm. That’s true too. What do you think, Duke?”
“I don’t mind as long as I can handle the author.”
Beinsteln agreed.
OK.
Boom!
A two-handed sword that looked like it could split a rock with one strike was headed toward the ceiling.
I hesitated.
The nobles who were watching took a step back without realizing it.
It was as obvious as fire that if I got caught up, I wouldn’t be able to recover even my bones.
“Gulp. The author is dead now.”
“I never thought I would see in person the power of cutting off a wyvern’s entire head…”
“It won’t be easy to recover the corpse, let alone capture it alive.”
However, MacKensy’s confident steps forward… … .
He stopped dead in his tracks at the next words.
match! match! match! match!
“They say you can’t cause trouble to your master when you serve… It’s a loyalty that can’t really be lost. It would have been nice if that rich loyalty could have remained in the hair as well.”
Jinhyuk clapped his hands together.
“omg!?”
“Ji, what now?”
“Are you sane?”
The nobles took a vain breath.
Jinhyuk broke down something that everyone had tacitly considered taboo, so of course they were embarrassed.
Even though McKensie was pretending to be strong and just focusing on training.
In fact, no one in the empire knew how stressed he was due to hair loss.
“……this.”
“……!”
Not only Beinsteln, but even Penheimer, who was acting perfectly, was taken aback.
‘shit. I know.’
I knew better than anyone else that it was too much.
But what can you do?
Once the copy conditions are set like this, it is the player’s destiny to follow them accordingly.
“I will kill you!”
bang!
McKensie kicked off the ground and leaped.
The distance between the two narrowed in the blink of an eye, unbecoming of such an ignorant man.
A blue auror blade that fills the room.
In contrast, in Jinhyeok’s ‘Fang’, the sword-stained strength soared nearly 1m.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Quaaaang!
When the two swords clashed, blue and black sparks erupted.
A battle of pure strength and power.
McKensie, who was in a relatively high position, pressed down on the sword from top to bottom.
Kukukukukuku!
“It’s heavy.”
“Don’t freak out and focus on this moment. I don’t know how long you can hold out with those weak arms and legs.”
“Nothing. Even if my arms and legs aren’t very muscular, will I be weaker than you, who don’t have ‘two feet’?”
“Kaaaa!”
McKensie immediately lost his balance and swung his sword.
The desk was completely cut off, leaving traces of the sword’s passage on the wall.
However, the blow did not reach Jinhyeok.
Jinhyuk flew around like a flying squirrel and headed to the corner of the conference room.
‘This is the second time… … .’
I wanted to achieve this until the end, but if I did more, the nobles might get hurt.
‘My purpose is to prove my worth to the Emperor. ‘It’s not about exterminating the nobles.’
Moreover, with this, the first impression was clearly made.
It was a different start than expected, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to start off with such a spectacle from the beginning.
“no way……!”
Abraham, who noticed something strange, immediately drew his sword.
Of course, it was one step too late.
[‘Glacier Sculpture’ and ‘Frost Cloud’ are activated!]
Everyone’s vision became blurry.
A cloud of ice particles and water vapor began to fill the conference room.
“Tsk. I tried buying time by tricking the eye…!”
There is no way to escape from here anyway.
Or it’s just a rat in a poison… … I wanted to say that.
However, when the steam cleared, Jinhyeok’s appearance had long since disappeared.
Instead, a passage leading to the basement appeared on the floor of the conference room.
and.
“…….”
For the first time, strong emotions appeared on the face of the emperor, who was silently watching all of this.
