. Guardian of the Iron-Blood 'Empire'

(3)

The conference hall where all the leftists were frozen.

gulp!

The sound of dry saliva was heard all over the place.

- To suddenly drop such a talented person... .

-If we can recruit them into our family, we can change the tax at once.

-Being a duke is not just a dream. You mean the same level of skill as the best knight commander in the empire?

-If this is the case, you will be able to win the war against Moorim with certainty. not cancer.

It was a pity that he was not the son of a nobleman with a guaranteed bloodline, but if he was a Grand Swordmaster, he could bear the difference in status.

In particular, the current empire is preparing for war against Moorim.

It hurts my mouth to tell you how valuable talented people are.

Like that, it was when everyone was looking at the timing to talk to Jinhyuk with their bodies warmed up.

What are you all being deceived by right now! Without thinking of bringing out those cultists who use evil magic right now!

A new person intervened.

He is about mid 40's.

It wasn't a warrior, but the sharp momentum flowing out of her body surpassed that of the warrior.

Without having to use the 'Eyes of Gluttony', I was able to guess who the opponent was.

Duke of Weinstein.

He is undoubtedly the most powerful person in the empire, threatening the imperial power, and an inside spy working hand in hand with Moorim.

I came face-to-face with the person in the information I heard from Gandhara.

Bee, Duke of Weinsteln?

What do you mean heresy?

At the sudden remark, agitation arose once again.

However, Weinsteln dismissed everyone's doubts with a single blow.

Didn't you see the author use a black Aura blade too?

Normal Aura should be bluish.

However, Jinhyuk's Aura had a dark black color due to the effect of 'Sword Grave'.

Come to think of it .

"The color is definitely strange. Something like that is something you can only see from Necromancers or Moorim."

Isn't that an Aura blade?

Unlike the past 17 kingdoms, it is now composed of 7 kingdoms.

The fact that it is a holy empire serving the goddess 'Peris' has not changed.

This means that the entire people and the leadership alike are extremely sensitive to paganism.

Weinsteln aimed at that and tried to press Jinhyuk.

Yeah. The statuses keep changing. From Moorim to heretic. Later, you'll be able to hear the voice of a devil.

If you feel unhappy, simply give up your arms and surrender. If you do, I will give you an opportunity to protest through a fair trial and interrogation.

Can the adjective 'fair' be attached to torture until you say what you want, like a parrot?

Jinhyuk smirked.

I've heard this repertoire a lot, so it's not fresh.

so .

"If you have something you want to say, ask for it with your skills."

The tip of the dagger pointed towards Weinstein.

You have great skills, but you don't seem to be able to understand the situation well. What are you going to do by coming all alone here?

this is an empire

A place where military meetings, which can be called the most important, are held.

Although the Captain of the Guard was absurdly pushed back from the momentum... .

A 'real talent' who can replace such a guy can be summoned at any time.

at the end of that word.

jerk.

I started hearing footsteps.

The air has changed.

'Is it coming too?'

Jinhyuk's eyes turned towards the door.

Still, I wanted to go a little easier, but I don't think it will be.

Uhm. Aren't we too late?

A pleasant voice came from outside the conference room.

He is approximately in his early to mid 20's.

He is a man with blonde hair and green eyes in casual clothes.

At first glance, you might think that he looks like a neighborhood bachelor who looks so innocent, but you should never ignore him just by looking at his appearance.

The strongest weapon possessed by the Empire.

Even as a single person, he is a Grand Swordmaster who is evaluated for his power surpassing that of the Knights, which are all made up of Swordmasters.

'Ebraham de Felicia.'

I didn't expect to see this poisonous species again so soon.

Besides, next to Abraham was Mackensh, one of the top ten in the Empire.

I thought the two of them would have gone to the forefront to face Moorim by now... .

'Is there something else on the plan?'

I thought that maybe not just the empire but also other variables might have intervened.

Jinhyuk read the opponent's status window through 'Eyes of Gluttony'.

Name: Abraham de Felicia

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Level: 125

Strength 72 Agility 85 Stamina 70 mana 36 Hyperesthesia 103

Stat Points you have: 0

Occupation: Knight

Unique Ability: High-Speed Sword

skill: Lv35 'Arctic Swordsmanship', Lv35 'mana movement', Lv33 'Anti-Magic Defense', Lv32 'Speed', Lv30 'Mental Barrier' There are too many skills listed, so some 'folding'

state is switched.

[Detailed Description: Abraham, the eldest son of the imperial family of Felicia, has felt mana since the age of 5, and showed a natural talent for swordsmanship. And when he was 16 years old, he reached the level of a sword master who could fully complete Aura's form, and at the age of 24 he realized the logic of Aura and rose to the level of a grand sword master. He wields a sword for nobles who are not emperors, and is especially known as a direct line of Duke Weinstein.]

[COPYING CONDITIONS: Abraham cares deeply for his best friend and colleague, Mackensh. However, Mackensie, the perfect knight, suffers from a disease that even a court wizard could not control from a young age... If you open the wound, you will be able to copy one of the unique abilities and skills that Abraham possesses. (Please provide at least 3 creative comments)]

indeed .

There is nothing to say other than that reading the stats is amazing.

It's great that the level is over 100, but even the 'Hyperesthesia (超感覺)', a stat that predicts the opponent's movement, is a three-digit number.

'It's a total monster.'

It's a better spec than any other player or resident I've ever met.

To the extent that it is completely out of specification.

I felt unfamiliar with the fluff that rose all over my body and the fast-beating heart.

At the same time, the more you climb the tower, the more you will come into contact with such a powerful enemy, so strange expectations also soared.

'The whole pumpkin came in.'

As long as you come across this kind of performance, you must succeed in copying conditions no matter what you use.

In particular, 'High-Speed Sword' will synergize well with the currently stored skills.

Assuming that you can get a higher version of skill through fusion... Well, if you miss this, you won't be able to sleep well for a month.

By the way.

...!?

An earthquake occurred in Jinhyuk's eyes as he was checking the most important radiation conditions.

I had no choice but to do so.

Everything from martial arts to bloodline is perfect.

It was because his only wound and trauma was his bare, empty head.

Heh heh. No. You came just in time.

Weinstelln burst into laughter with a face as if he had obtained the most reliable ally in the world.

I'm glad if that's the case. So Isa is an intruder who pointed a sword at the Imperial Guardsmen?

You're a friend who just came out of the boat. You dared to commit blasphemy in front of the Emperor. The lord will tell you how serious a mortal sin it is.

All right.

Abraham reached out with his sword.

right then

You don't have to go all the way to Sir Abraham. Leave this to me.

Mackensh took a step forward.

Are you even itching? The duke has given me an order.

It doesn't look good for the First Sword of the Empire to come out against just one invader.

Hmm. That's right. What do you think of the Duke?

I don't care if only the author can handle it.

Weinstein agreed.

OK.

Boo-woong!

The Two-Handed Sword, which seemed to split rocks in a single blow, headed towards the ceiling.

slowing down

The nobles who were watching took a step back without knowing it.

It was as obvious as fire that even the bones could not be extracted if they were involved.

Gulp. The author is now dead.

"You will see the power of cutting off a Wyvern's head in person."

It wouldn't be easy to recover a corpse that wasn't captured.

However, Mackensh's step forward proudly... .

He paused at the next words.

match! match! match! match!

You can't trouble the owner you serve... It's a loyalty that can't really come out of 'hair'. It would have been nice if that rich loyalty remained in your hair.

Jinhyuk clapped his hands.

Ugh!?

Gee, what now?

Are you crazy?

The nobles swallowed the wind.

Jinhyeok dug up what everyone had implicitly considered taboo, so of course he was embarrassed.

It was Mackensh, who pretended to be strong and silently focused on his training.

In fact, no one in the Empire knew how stressed he was due to hair loss.

this.

...!

Weinstein, as well as Penheimer, who was performing perfectly, were puzzled.

'shit. I know.'

He knew better than anyone that it was too much.

But what do you do?

If the copy conditions are set like this, it is the fate of the player to follow them accordingly.

I'll kill you!

bang!

Mackensh slammed the ground and leapt.

The distance between them narrowed in the blink of an eye, unsuitable for their ignorant size.

A blue Aura blade that fills the room.

In contrast, in Jinhyeok's 'Fangs', the sword-dyed river surged about 1m.

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

kwaaang!

When the two swords collided, blue and black sparks arose.

A battle of pure power and power.

Mackensh, who was in a relatively high position, pressed his sword from top to bottom.

kukukuku!

It's heavy.

Don't fuss, focus on the present moment. I don't know how long I can survive with those fragile arms and legs.

Anyway. Even if my limbs aren't muscular, would I be weaker than you who don't have 'two feet'?

Aaaaaah!

McKenshie suddenly broke his balance and swung his sword.

The desk was cut in pieces, leaving traces of the sword passing on the wall.

However, the blow did not reach Jinhyuk.

Jinhyuk, who flew like a flying squirrel, headed towards the corner of the conference room.

'This is the second... .'

I wanted to achieve it 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 annihilating nobles.'

Besides, this made a solid first impression.

It was a different start than I expected, but it wouldn't be bad to start with such a spectacular start from the beginning.

no way !

Abraham, noticing the strange feeling, immediately drew his sword.

Of course, it was one step late.

['Glacier Formation' and 'Frost Cloud Dance' are activated!]

Everyone's vision was blurred.

A cloud of ice grains and water vapor began to fill the room.

Sheesh. If I could buy time by cheating...!

There's no way to escape from here anyway.

Or just a rat in a poison... I wanted to say

However, when the vapor lifted, Jinhyuk'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, the emperor's face, who had been silently watching all this, was filled with intense emotions.
