Became the Emperor in the Hero Game - Became the Emperor in the Hero Game chapter 98
98 – Side Story 4
“Hmm… “
I have nothing to do.
Sitting in my office, I was astonished as I remembered how long it had been since I felt bored.
“My God… “
I was far from a busy life enough to spend thousands of hours on games.
I can’t believe I’ve come this far without a moment’s rest after I became emperor.
“Minister.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Is there really nothing more to do?”
“There are no more things that absolutely require His Majesty’s approval.”
At that, I looked out the window.
The sun has not yet set.
“… Okay. Got it. Minister, let’s go in.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
After sending the minister away, I was left alone in the office, absentmindedly.
What are your future plans?
I edited and built it hundreds of times.
It is just a waste of time to worry more now that there are countless variables.
No matter how much I have nothing to do, I don’t want to waste my time.
Then all that remains is training…
“It is a law to deal with divine power… “
“Divine power? I might call it that.”
I’m surprised.
I had never specifically called, but the Grand Duke entered the office before I knew it.
“… Grand Duke, before entering the emperor’s office… “
“Didn’t I tell you? It’s annoying. We are no strangers.”
“Before I am a disciple of the Grand Duke, I am an emperor.”
“Ha, now you are talking to Master Lee that your head has grown… “
“Don’t pretend to be hurt. Say whatever you want to say You can call it divine power.”
The Archduke also became more savvy and acted while wringing out fake tears, but I didn’t pay any attention.
I realized years ago that if you try to give meaning to the Archduke’s actions, you won’t be able to have a conversation.
“The power that the gods use is correct. The power that moves freely according to the owner’s will and the nature of the authority deserves to be called a symbol of divinity. But isn’t it a power that only the gods use? Even among some transcendental people, there are those who handle similar powers.”
“… But. It would be arrogant to think that everyone else would, even if it was a power that I realized only after I touched the godhead.”
“Well, it is true that this is a very rare case. Usually transcendental ones who are more powerful than any divinity. For example, the heir of the demon king who died during the Great War and the original daughter’s brother use similar powers.”
“… The imperial guardian dragon?”
A little surprised by the unknown fact, the Grand Duke finally spoke.
“Well, actually my brother is not very good at magic. Rather than not doing it well, it’s closer to not doing it at all. Instead, dragon words and brother’s unique black mana, as you put it, must be divine power. And I will fight with my physical abilities.”
“That is a bit surprising. I thought all dragons were excellent wizards.”
“Actually, unless you are a genius like the original girl or an old dragon like Argo, your magic skills are mediocre. Certainly better than humans and other races of wizards, but not overwhelming. Let alone the lord of the mage tower, there were a lot of young dragons worse than your servants who recently became transcendentalists.”
Well, most of those idiots died during the Great War.
“Come to think of it, how many were the three dragons who went to help the whale that day?”
“Um… Red dragons and blue dragons are the last dragons to be called old dragons. However, they are dragons that few people know even on the continent because they do not leave the side of the Lord. But as far as skill is concerned, it’s real. Because they were the two who prevented anyone from intervening when Lord fought against the Demon King in the past.”
“Compared to the Archduke?”
“Um… It would have been similar until I took a step a while ago. Now, of course, the original woman has the upper hand. But the two of them are so good at joint work that if they move together, they’re much stronger than simply doubling their power, so maybe they’re still holding back the old losers well?”
From her words, there was no hint of concern for the two of them.
However, it sounded like it didn’t matter even if they really died, rather than trust in their own kind, but it wasn’t particularly strange since the dragons were said to have killed most of the survivors of the Great War in the Civil War.
“What about the magician you mentioned back then?”
“It is a dragon with excellent magic that can be compared to the lord of the mage tower. He’s a young dragon that Lord cares about too. However, since he is only that, in fact, his great strength is not. He’s a talented prospect, but if you look at his current record, it’s just that.”
If you are at the level of the tower master, it means that you can reach transcendence with magic alone. I wondered if it was an exaggeration to say that it was not a great power, but considering the level of those who will participate in the war right away, it was true.
I don’t know if the Dragon Lord will join the battle, but even if he stays alone
For the mightiest and greatest gods, including Kiriya and Death, will be on the battlefield.
“Anyway, this is what the original woman wanted to say.”
The Archduke, who lightly clapped his hands to announce the change of subject, spoke to me.
“My dear, how about learning combat from your brother?”
“To the Guardian Dragon?”
“Hmm. To be honest, it would be difficult for your magic to reach death, demons, or darkness.”
“… Well, Jim is an emperor, not a wizard.”
“Of course, considering the amount of time you trained in magic, it’s only natural. It hasn’t been more than ten years. But the problem is that your enemies won’t give you a long time. However, the divine power is a power that you already possess, so you have to learn how to handle it.”
I raised a purple aura from that word and tried to handle it here and there.
I tried making a spear, and wearing it in the form of a sword or shield, but I knew that this wasn’t the most efficient way to use divine power, even if no one told me.
“… Okay. If you ever meet a guardian dragon in the valley of the dragon, you should ask for it.”
“Mmm! You are Arhan, and your brother will never refuse!”
“So, are you here to talk about that?”
At my question, the Grand Duke shook his head and denied it.
“That’s not it! I just came to see you I just heard that you are free.”
“Who did you hear that from? Very few people talk to the Grand Duke.”
“… I heard anyway.”
… There can’t be anything magical about it that I haven’t noticed.
Imperial system, and the imperial palace.
I am as close to omnipotence as I am here.
Then…
“Minister Dia?”
“Um… I’ve become a little closer these days… “
Well, it’s not even a secret to the Empire.
There’s no reason why the emperor can’t tell the grand duke that he’s not at work right now.
He did not intend to question it, but the Grand Duke mumbled a little, as if he had been stabbed somewhere, and he continued.
“Anyway! If you have time, with the main girl… “
In an instant, the Archduke and I both stopped talking and stood up.
Because outside the imperial palace, a mighty being suddenly revealed itself.
“… The damn old woman… “
The Archduke, who soon noticed the presence, muttered quietly.
“Argo?”
“Hey, this is no joke. It took a little effort to come over quietly.”
The green dragon that suddenly appeared, Argo, ignoring the barrier surrounding the system, appeared in front of me.
But it wasn’t strange because he twisted my spatial magic the last time I saw him in the Great Forest.
“Anyway, I have a message to deliver to the emperor.”
“To think that the green dragon of the world is acting as a messenger.”
“Well, honey, the only person I can trust, no, the dragon I can trust, what should I do?”
“You are caught. Anyway, what is that message?”
“Hmm, hmm. Emperor, the great forest will engage in a great war. The elves will go out of the woods and fight against the armies of the defeated. I will make sure that this continent will never be stained with death again.”
After clearing his throat once, Argo spoke in an uncharacteristically serious tone.
“It would be welcome if Daesurim stepped in. If so, can the Great Forest also be considered an ally of me and the Empire?”
“Of course, Great Forest will fight on the side of the Empire. Of course me too.”
“I heard that the World Tree cannot go outside the Great Forest. I would like to ask how you can help. In fact, isn’t Dae Surim’s participation in the war itself inevitable?”
From noble mtl dot com
“I will answer that.”
Behind Argo’s back, a man with light blue hair said as he got down.
I noticed that a mighty deity was watching from the first time Argo came out, but I didn’t feel any hostility, so I left it for now.
“My name is Zephyrus, the great and free master of the wind.”
“I’m an idiot who lost his arms and legs to a wolf and got them back thanks to my honey.”
“Argo!”
The wind god got angry at Green Dragon’s words, but Green Dragon didn’t take it seriously, and it was clear that the two were friends for a long time.
“Anyway, like this friend here, my honey has a lot of friends. Most of them are gods who were helped by the lady in the past. Three of them decided to help the great forest.”
“Three Godheads. That’s a lot of power.”
“Well, even if you put them all together, they’re still worse than one of the honeymooners in their prime.”
At those words, Zephyrus glared at Argo again, but he couldn’t refute anything, so it was felt that it was true.
“Oh, and one more while I’m here. There is also a message from Kiriya.”
“What is it?”
“They asked me to tell them that preparations were complete. Ready to go meet our Lord.”
