Episode 553

Part 2 Condemnation

“… … ?!”

It was only then that Empress Min realized.

When he opened the door, it was not he who was staring in surprise at everyone inside.

The fact that this exists.

And this being came looking for me.

“What, what am I-?!”

And then, at that moment.

In fact, what was more embarrassing than Empress Min was the group of warriors disguised as her escorts who followed her.

The team’s mission was simple.

If Empress Min breaks through the security at the main gate, they will be the center of attention.

And taking advantage of that gap, those who invaded through another route targeted Min In-ik, the head of the Min clan.

It was a tactic that was as effective as it was simple.

however.

Obviously, they were fully prepared for battle and had their senses heightened to the point where they could barely keep up.

How did that strange and ominous being appear among them, right in their midst?

Isn’t it just as if it was there from the beginning, taking its place?

“There’s no way you wouldn’t know, right?”

Every time that being spoke, a numbing smell of sulfur rose up from the air.

White breath flowed out into the cold air, making the still hot early autumn sunlight pale in comparison.

Come to think of it.

Before we knew it, the sun had disappeared behind thick clouds.

[One hour! One hour, what are you doing?!]

The commander’s message reached their ears from afar.

[Wake up! Don’t be fooled by his sorcery!]

“… … ?!”

“… … ?!”

Their minds snapped to their senses at the sound of the witchcraft.

It was thanks to training that I could achieve mental awakening through specific words.

[Suppress the variables! The operation has already begun!]

“There’s no way I don’t know-?!”

The moment the Empress shouted, the moment the being’s gaze was focused on her.

“… … .”

The warrior of the extreme night behind the Dark Heavenly Lord drew his sword.

Sling-!

Without any spirit, without any sound.

Even without prior preparation.

It was a sword that had reached the point where it simply flew out of its sheath, sending up red sparks and tearing apart space.

but.

Teeeeeeeeeeing-!

The blade, which had been flying away in vain with a simple gesture from that mean being, began to vibrate madly.

“Huh…?!”

It was a miracle that he didn’t miss the sword that was vibrating as if it was alive.

But the surprising thing is.

Even at that moment.

“There is no way you wouldn’t know how much the local officials have squeezed the people to satisfy their own selfish desires.”

The being was urging the empress as if nothing had happened.

[What are you doing?! What are you staring at blankly?!]

A truly absurd sight.

“… … !”

The three remaining drones, who had been frozen in surprise at the sight, moved at the same time.

“Huh…!”

“Put your pressure down…!”

“Haaaah!”

Both the spirit and the movement are at the same time.

A training pass that is so perfectly trained that exclamations of exquisiteness burst out naturally.

“… … ?!”

But, at that moment.

The warrior, who had no choice but to watch while suppressing the vibration of the sword, could not help but doubt his own eyes.

“The role of the empress, who should have been the closest person to assist the emperor, was abandoned.”

Kiririk!

The sword of the unmanned man who was aiming for the head slipped along the back of the opponent’s hand.

He had no time to panic as his own sword blade slid down as if there was no such thing as friction.

“… … ?!”

This was because the hand of the Dark Heavenly Lord, who had been drawing the blade with the back of his hand, naturally came up to his eyes and clenched into a fist.

And in that fist.

An energy that he could not even dare to imagine was concentrated in an instant.

An inch of force.

Bullfight!

With a sound like the sound of a leather drum, his upper body burst apart.

Phew phew phew phew!

It was like an explosion.

The force was so concentrated in an instant that the wall of air was torn apart, and his blood spurted out like a whip in all directions.

“The role of the mother of the nation, who is to look after all her people with a maternal heart, has been abandoned.”

The second drone was aiming fiercely at the being’s waist.

But before he could even stretch out the daggers in his hands, one of his opponent’s fingers was already in front of his eyes.

Phew!

The opponent’s fingers, like skewers forged from steel, dug deep into his eyeballs.

A finger that bursts your eyeball in an instant and digs straight into your brain.

A sharp pain ran through my entire body.

“Ugh… ?!”

But even in that situation.

He didn’t lose focus even in those final moments.

‘Before it reaches the brain…!’

His two daggers were already pointed at his opponent’s abdomen, so instead of dodging,

He squeezed the speed of the dagger to increase it.

‘Bend…!’

Bam.

His dagger touched his opponent’s waist and he fell down.

He couldn’t even feel sorry for his head being completely gone.

Bullet attack.

The finger did not reach his brain, but the bullet fired like a bullet shook his brain and shattered his skull.

“You don’t know him, the one who chose to ignore all those noble duties and enjoy only the rights of an empress?”

I didn’t even get to see how the third drone died.

Only the bloodstains on the opponent’s feet and the third drone’s punctured abdomen provide clues to the manner of death.

More, shivering, shivering…!

Just a moment ago, the body of the drone that had attacked with Baldo trembled.

“… … !”

It wasn’t that the sword he was holding and his body were still shaking because the opponent’s history still remained.

It was a reflexive reaction of a person gripped by instinctive fear.

All that harsh training and mind-bending brainwashing was meaningless.

The opponent was something beyond a master.

And then, that’s it.

A name he had heard by rumor once came to mind.

“Ah, ah, the Dark Lord… ?!”

He cried out in horror, saying that name.

“The Dark Heavenly Lord has appeared…!”

* * *

It was not the first time he had uttered the name of the Dark Heavenly Lord.

“That’s…?!”

As soon as the knowledgeable observation drone confirmed its existence, he immediately said this.

“That’s the Dark Heavenly Lord! The Dark Heavenly Lord…!”

but.

The commander of the polar night standing next to him shouted at the observation drone.

[Stop making a sound! Do you want to fall behind?! Have you forgotten where you are?!]

“Ha, but…?!”

Even in this situation, you continue to make sounds?

The commander of the polar night, sensing something strange, looked into the eyes of the observation drone.

“… … ?!”

The eyes of the observation drone are completely out of focus.

“The Dark Heavenly Lord has arrived, the Dark Heavenly Lord has arrived….”

Even though I didn’t know exactly what it meant, it was obvious that the condition was unusual.

“crazy…?!”

The commander of the polar night immediately strangled the observation drone’s neck with his thick forearm and gave instructions to the crew through voice.

[One hour! One hour, what are you doing?!]

“… … ?!”

“… … ?!”

far.

A group of drones suddenly came to their senses.

[Wake up! Don’t be fooled by his sorcery!]

He gave such instructions by voice, and shouted into the ears of the observation drone he was subduing.

“It’s witchcraft, come to your senses…!”

“no…!”

but.

“We’re all going to die…?! We’re all going to die…!”

The observation drone didn’t know how to calm down.

He had extraordinary powers of observation and excellent eyesight, so he was put in charge of observation in the polar night.

But maybe that was the cause.

With his excellent eyes and observation skills, what did he see in that strange being?

“Damn it…!”

There was no time to think about that.

‘We’re in the middle of enemy territory!’

The commander held him down and sent a signal to Iljo, who seemed not to have come to his senses yet.

[What are you doing?! What are you staring at blankly?!]

Then he put a lot of force into the arm around the observer’s neck to calm him down.

For some reason.

“The crime of serving the wrong people, while receiving the country’s allowance…!”

The observation drone continued to babble nonsense even while suffocating.

“The crime of being loyal to the wrong people, harming innocent civilians, and committing countless murders without any sense of guilt at their command…!”

In that situation.

The commander of the polar night, who was looking in the direction of the sun, could not believe his eyes at the sight that unfolded.

Even to him who had overcome the wall, the training pass by the three members of Group I was clearly perfect.

but.

They are likewise at the same time.

“… … !”

One had his upper body blown off, another had his head missing, and yet another had a hole ripped through his stomach.

The enemy’s methods were so bizarre that it was impossible to even tell exactly how and what happened from this distance.

“… … .”

A method so intense that it will leave you breathless.

Or, something that transcends common sense.

‘really….’

The commander was momentarily dumbfounded by the sight.

‘The Dark Heavenly Lord…? The being in the rumors…?’

at that time.

At first, the unmanned unit that had survived after the sword bounced off and the observation unmanned unit that had been strangled by him both cried out at the same time.

“The Dark Heavenly Lord has appeared…!”

* * *

‘The Dark Heavenly Lord…?’

Empress Min couldn’t help but doubt her eyes.

“Ugh, euaaaah?!”

The warrior who had screamed the name of the Dark Heavenly Lord raised his sword and plunged it into his own abdomen.

Phew…!

“Cough…!”

The sound of skin being torn and flesh being cut reached the Empress’s ears with a frightening vividness.

‘Oh, you’re crazy…!’

He died standing, impaled on his own sword.

“crime….”

Even while spitting out a bowl of blood from his mouth, he looked at the empress and said this.

“Everyone, confess your sins….”

In everyone’s silence.

Toouk.

The moment his head dropped so weakly.

“Eww…!”

“Run away…! Run away…!”

Members of the Min family, gripped by extreme fear, began to run out of the conference hall all at once.

“Get out of the way…! Get out of the way…!”

“Gyaaaah…! Gyaaaah…!”

They pushed and shoved each other as if they were in a fit of madness, running towards the small side doors on the left and right of the conference hall.

“Ahhh! Don’t step on it! Don’t step on it!”

“Don’t push…! Eww!”

Although the Min clan’s guards were stationed, the situation could not be controlled as even they were in a state of confusion.

Members of the Min family swarmed like madmen towards the narrow exit.

‘ah…!’

Empress Min, who was blankly staring at the sight, suddenly realized something.

‘Is there anyone here who is without sin…?’

That’s right.

First of all, this is the Min family.

From this family that had power comparable to that of the Sixteen Clans, from this family that had greatly contributed to bringing the Central Plains to this state.

How many people are innocent and without sin?

Who dares?

Are you saying that you can be confident in front of the Dark Heavenly Lord?

“Do you still not know your sin?”

blankly.

As the Empress watched the scene, she felt the smell of sulfur in her ears.

“… … .”

When she turned her head, she saw the Dark Heavenly Lord with his mouth wide open.

“Did you think that when you died, it would all be over?”

Beyond the countless teeth that had grown densely, a blazing blue hellfire could be seen burning inside the black throat.

“… … ?!”

Yes, that’s right.

She realized.

now.

For him, death was not the end.

It wasn’t an escape route.

The plan to destroy the family that abandoned him and die cleanly, his own petty plan that everything would end if he died.

Everything was falling apart.

“I am-.”

Her last moments of life.

What was he trying to say?

“I am-!”

What was he trying to say with that voice that began to tremble with true horror and extreme fear?

Crunch…!

In a space where reality began to distort, a disgusting amount of blood was sprayed everywhere.
