Swordmaster of the Red Light District - Swordmaster of the Red Light District chapter 200

Prayer (2)

200

The Royal Guard, Michael, hurriedly walked down the corridors of the Imperial Palace.

Michael, who was moving at almost running speed, was sprinting towards the end.

At present, the emperor’s energy has waned so much that the Crown Prince Phoebus is overseeing the state affairs.

That’s why Michael has been doing most of his recent work reports to Phoebus.

However, this time the seriousness of the matter was different. This time, a report had to go up to the emperor right away.

Michael, who found the bed the emperor was using as a hospital bed, got permission and stepped inside.

In the bedroom, Phoebus was directly caring for the emperor who was bedridden.

Michael immediately knelt down on one knee and begged forgiveness.

There were not one or two procedures that were omitted to get here.

“Forgive me for my rudeness…”

Michael stiffened without speaking.

There were three people in the bedroom, but only two people could hear their breathing.

Without daring permission, Michael raised his head and looked at the emperor.

Phoebus opened his mouth.

“You just… you closed your eyes at ease.”

“…”

Michael, unable to hide his disappointment, took a deep breath, and gave his final greetings to the Emperor.

After that, Michael got up from his seat and changed direction to Phoebus and knelt again.

“I see you, Your Majesty.”

Michael bowed his head and waited for permission to speak.

Phoebus turned to Michael.

No matter how serious the issue was, he immediately withdrew.

Seeing that he is holding on to it, it means that it is a very urgent matter.

“What’s going on?”

“The skies have been opened in Alimo.”

The sky opened.

Phoebus understood what it meant, and looked back at the Emperor with his eyes closed as if sleeping.

“…I see what your father was worried about.”

A situation so serious that the burial of the Emperor had to be postponed occurred as soon as he succeeded to the throne.

Phoebus felt his shoulders grow heavy and stood up.

“I’ll do my best. Keep an eye on me, Dad.”

Phoebus, who was able to speak the title of father only after the Emperor closed his eyes, turned his back from the bed.

‘Esters’ is a city located near the ecliptic and has a warp gate.

Ernst was alone in the mansion of the Frieslan family in Esters, looking at the divine sword of the Empire.

Ernst, who remembered Rey who had left after handing over this sword, showed a disturbed look.

I knew that Rey had reckless tendencies from the beginning, but I didn’t expect that he would lose contact with a small group of people visiting the underground city.

As it happened in a foreign territory, there wasn’t much Ernst could do either.

“A fool…”

Ernst was muttering in a stuffy voice when he heard a knock.

Adoia entered the office with Ernst’s permission and reported the news she had brought with him.

“The Emperor has ascended to heaven.”

“…”

Ernst closed his eyes tightly and opened them in silence.

It was a sad feeling, but it was already expected. It wasn’t something to be upset about.

However, Adoia’s next report was enough to shock even Ernst.

“Your Majesty’s Majesty has ordered the announcement of the Emperor’s ascension and succession to the throne to be postponed for a while.”

“…what was the reason?”

“I think it’s because of what the intelligence agency reported. The skies have been opened in Alimo.”

Ernst’s expression hardened sharply.

“Where is the exact location?”

“It is said that it was identified because it was over the Forbidden Forest.”

Ernst grabbed the hand he had placed on the table.

Some of the wooden boards were roughly crushed.

“Ray, what the hell is going on there…”

Ernst turned his head in the direction of Rey in the distance and asked, but there was no answer.

Adoia added.

“Your Majesty’s Majesty is seeking the opinion of the Marquis. Wizards have prepared a communication.”

It wasn’t a matter of taking time.

Ernst stood up straight away and headed towards the place where the wizards were waiting.

There was excitement in the underground fortress 2 km below the ground.

After a long wait, the demon worshipers who dwelt in the subterranean fortress prepared to awaken from their silence.

The deepest part of the underground fortress.

There, the demons with six pairs of eyes also showed their joy with their blinking eyes.

It will move as soon as unity is achieved.

The kingdom will fall without proper resistance, and the territories of the fallen kingdom will be destroyed and polluted, overflowing with the power of the Great.

In order for this plan to proceed smoothly, it was necessary to quickly strike the key high-ranking officials of the kingdom.

After annihilating the leadership, securing or destroying the gate to block support from other countries, no one could prevent the destruction of the kingdom.

When Alimo turns into a giant demonic sword after this is over, the frontline that the Empire has to block will be much wider.

The empire faced with another demonic realm had to endure extreme consumption, which would eventually lead to the ruin of the empire.

That great first step was about to begin now.

“Hmm…”

In the ears of the demons, a whisper was heard saying that part of the ‘Silver Cross Knights’ had been lost.

It would have been better if they had annihilated them and covered their mouths, but there was no regret.

The demons knew how easy and lax the high ranks of Alimo were.

Even if the Knights returned and preached the dangers of the Forbidden Forest, there was no way to defend something within a day or two after hearing the word.

As they have always been, they will be greedy and slaughtered like fat pigs.

Duck!!

A corner of the square that was closed on all sides.

A door that looked like a wall was pushed aside, revealing a passage.

A woman in a robe walked out of the dark passage.

Six pairs of eyes glanced at the woman, then slanted.

Ilpirim.

She always acted as a shadow-like clone.

The demons also faced her body after a long time.

Ilpirim lost his clone, and his complexion was very pale, as if he had been greatly shocked.

It was really hard to see, so the demon laughed in a harsh voice.

“You lost all your troops. Have you fallen into a trap?”

“…”

Ilpirim pondered for a moment.

trap? No, it wasn’t a battle where excuses like falling into a trap would work.

It was just that he was defeated by his overwhelming power and talent.

Even if Ilpirim went directly to the main body, it could not be guaranteed that he would have returned alive from that battle.

“That wizard, we must kill him here.”

“Are you a 7th circle…or a 8th circle level wizard?”

“It wasn’t a matter of circles.”

The opponent concealed the high-ranking magic until just before it was manifested.

It was completely different from the number of circles… It was the product of a talent outside of common sense.

Moreover, the appearance of the wizard that Ilpirim faced as an alter ego was very young.

Of course I thought it was camouflage, but if not.

Sooner or later, you’ll become a hard-to-reach existence with a load-class level or higher.

The demons shook their heads at Illim’s strong argument.

I will thicken the siege and, as soon as the union is complete, I will pursue and eliminate the wizard.

When the demons announced that he was going to go on his own, Ilpirim put his mind at ease for a while.

at that moment

Koo-!

A wave of mana passed through the underground fortress.

Confusion arose among the demon worshipers of the underground fortress.

Considering the shape of the wave, it was inferred that the distance to the epicenter of the wave was considerable.

Even so, the warlocks were puzzled that this amount of energy was transmitted in the form of a wave.

The mana wave that occurred at the epicenter when the calculation was reversed was truly enormous.

Asmodians with six pairs of eyes were equally perplexed.

The direction the wave was transmitted was close to the underground city where Ilpirim lost its troops.

Tsu!

The demons shared their vision with their servants who were outside.

One eye was completely black, and the scenery outside was reflected on the demons.

The demons saw the pulsing atmosphere and the clouds that were sucked into a point.

The demon movement completely stopped.

puck!

Before long, the time that we could share our vision ran out, and one eye burst out.

Without even closing their remaining eyes, the demons pondered the scenery they had seen a while ago.

The more I chewed on it, the more I felt an eerie feeling of embarrassment that I didn’t want to admit.

“witch…?”

hundreds of years ago.

There was a woman who was called a ‘witch’ even by the demon worshipers.

The woman brought into reality the magic that had only been barely established in theory, which was judged impossible to be realized.

The woman would often refer to that magic as the fortress annihilation magic.

It was a clear deception and a joke.

That magic was a disaster that could go beyond a city and destroy a country.

Even a woman was able to perform the magic only twice after receiving all kinds of support in her prime.

And those two spells inflicted the most painful blows to the demon worshipers at the time.

The scenery of that terrible day was rising again beyond the vision of the demons.

“impossible.”

The demons could not admit it.

It was by no means a magic that could be manifested in just a few hours.

Above all else, if he was trying to cast that magic, he should have been caught right away.

It was impossible to conceal the presence of such great magic.

In the past, when a woman tried to cast the spell, the demon worshipers who tried to stop her and the forces who tried to protect her had to fight for more than a day.

That was magic.

However, in the sight the demons just checked.

A phenomenon was occurring when the magic reached just before entering the final stage.

“Impossible…”

The demons once again tried to deny reality.

However, those eerie silver eyes that had been engulfed in hatred, which he had seen from beyond the illusion a few hours ago, belatedly delved into the minds of the demons.

The demons laughed at the owner of the eyes at that time.

He deceived his opponent by saying that he would welcome them in a grand way if he came here.

Now the demons couldn’t laugh.

The demon exhaled a rough breath and looked back.

In the pillars of light, the ancient ruins were about to unite.

It was impossible to move the body now because the entire underground fortress facility had been converted to help unite.

“Kill…!”

The demons raised their eleven eyes and screamed in the air.

“Kill it!!!! Kill it and stop it!!!!!”

The anger and will of the demons, and the fear that was leaking out, was transmitted to the subordinates.

The monsters surrounding the underground city with Rey and Ult screamed.

The hideous demons and the demon worshipers who lead them in the middle began to push into the underground city, trampling the dead demons’ corpses.

They howled fiercely, but they too were drunk with fear.

Ray and Ult adjusted their breathing while looking at the enemies whose momentum had changed.

It was already irreversible.

Since I’ve come this far, I couldn’t let Luna manifest her magic.

twitch!!

All the armaments of Rey and Ult were deployed at the same time.

There is not much time left until Luna’s promised ‘3 hours’ is over.

Ray and Ult looked at each other, then clenched their fists once, then grabbed the weapon in their hand.

This was their last mission here .
