Meanwhile, while Raiden burns his breath and confronts Lenin.

The news that Reynolds Academy had been attacked by monsters was spreading rapidly all over the place.

“Raid on the academy? Did I just hear correctly…?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The first place the news of the attack reached was none other than the imperial family.

Milliam, who heard the story from Austin, the head of the imperial knights, hardened his expression and lowered his chin.

“How’s the situation on the academy side?”

“It’s hard to pinpoint exactly, but I don’t expect it to be good. I’ve been contacted asking for emergency assistance.”

“Send it right now. If it’s not enough, even the Imperial Knights join in.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Austin, who received the order, immediately leaves the audience room to summon the army.

Left alone, Milliam clutches his forehead and lets out a small moan.

The wrinkled eyes are slightly twisted.

“Damn, what is this all of a sudden…”

The murmur that pops out is a mixture of embarrassment, anxiety, and worry.

While trying to harden my head for a while due to the chaotic situation, I tried to shake off that feeling.

He is the Emperor of the Empire.

It should not be shaken under any circumstances.

Milliam calmly organized his thoughts and fell into thought.

Surrender to the waves of consciousness and reflect on the current situation.

An attack by monsters targeting the academy.

It was already the second raid, including the previous school trip raid.

Not the first, not the second.

If so, you should ask your question here.

“Why the academy…?”

You might think that the first one was just a coincidence, but if it was repeated, it’s different.

There is something.

Milliam thought so and looked back at the situation.

The demons hadn’t moved at all for the past few hundred years.

Even that common area fight has never happened.

Of course, the dwelling of the demons was a land that ordinary creatures could not reach, the demonic realm.

“Such demons from the Devil’s Land, why are they suddenly attacking…”

What on earth made the demons who had been hiding for a long time move?

What comes to mind is a line of assumptions.

“Perhaps, there is someone in the academy who can keep the demons in check…”

Come to think of it, about 10 years ago.

When I visited the underground library of Seonghwangcheong, there was one sentence that caught my eye as if I was passing by while secretly stealing the ‘Book of Prophecy’, which is known as a forbidden book.

《Descendants, the darkness will return.》

“But, don’t be afraid. When the darkest night falls on the world

“—-The most brilliant light will also appear in the world…”

Milliam murmurs the last phrase he remembers, chewing on the words.

It was a sentence I had long forgotten.

Why did I think of it now?

Like destiny, it was something that scratched my brain.

“The darkest night… and the brightest light…”

They were words that metaphorically expressed ‘the devil’ and ‘hero’ in ancient books, respectively.

something meaningful

“…Ambiguous.”

It seems that the answer will come out.

No, actually, it’s already halfway there.

But whether or not to believe this was the question.

“At most, it was just a few lines that I skimmed through.”

I wish I could read that ‘Book of Prophecy’ again…

Unfortunately, it seemed impossible, as the subtle conflict between the church and the imperial family had intensified recently.

After biting my lip for a moment, sighing in embarrassment, I hear a commotion from outside the door of the audience room.

ㅡWait a minute, Princess! Waited a bit…!

ㅡI’m sorry! How do I calm down in this situation!?

Soon after, the door to the audience room burst open.

And after that, a blonde girl strides in.

It was an informal and rude act in the audience room with the emperor of the empire, but Milium didn’t say anything.

He quickly erased the worried expression on his face and smiled lightly.

“Dad!”

“Welcome, Lucy.”

“Is the news true? The academy is being raided?”

Lucy asks with an urgent expression.

Milliam gave him a wry smile and nodded.

At that, Lucy’s face turned white.

“Ah, at the academy… Raiden is still there…”

Blue eyes sway as if they were going to collapse,

Her slender arms tremble slightly.

“Calm down, Lucy, the Imperial Knights have already departed there. Prince Raiden is safe… Huh?”

While calming her down by sending sad eyes, my eyes are opened to a question that suddenly comes to mind.

Prince of Leiden.

Yeah, how could I have forgotten about him?

The boy who accurately predicted this situation and brought Lucy and Anna to the imperial family.

“Hmm…..”

Milliam quietly brushed his beard and fell into deeper thoughts.

Raiden, ‘Book of Prophecy’, raids, etc., various keywords are mixed, and the thought becomes more complicated.

“…It’s a really difficult problem.”

Milliam, who had been spinning his head for a while, brushed it off and regained his senses.

The more I think about it, the more I get no answer.

Because the given hints were too insufficient to solve any more problems.

“The best way would be to ask Confucius directly…”

Milliam muttered that and wiggled his hands.

“Please, I hope you are safe. Prince Raiden…”

.

You’ve probably heard of it.

‘When people are in danger of dying, they display superhuman strength.’

Of course, I knew this would be a phrase.

Isn’t it a little strange to hear that even a single crisis can give rise to power that no one had before.

I just thought it would be one of the stories floating around in the world.

But, I know because I experienced it myself.

That the sound that seemed to be in the middle of the day was real.

“Here we go again, hero!!”

“Sir, foot…!”

ㅡWhere you go! Kang!

It strongly supports the flying sword attacks.

Read at noblemtl. com

Jiying, the shock transmitted through the trembling sword.

It felt like my body was burning and my muscles were snapping, but I didn’t stop stepping.

I move my body, which has become a mop, and unfold the ceremony.

I forcibly hold on to the spirit that seems to fly away at any moment.

ㅡKwagwagwagwak!!

Exchanging risky battles, they repeat the dizzying tightrope.

Entrust your body to the senses and judgments of the moment.

The sound of a heart beating loudly can be heard clearly.

ㅡThump, thump, thump…

The sound ringing in my ears whispers to me once again.

you’re not dead yet

“You’re the best, hero! Among the enemies I’ve faced in my nearly 200 years of my life, you are the strongest!”

The sword of death shouts and raises the sword.

I feel it instinctively.

The big one is coming.

“die!!”

-Transcendence of Lenin-style Offensive Swordsmanship Type 1-

‘Cleaving Taesan’

Lenin’s sword falls towards me, emitting dark red sword air.

It was a blow that seemed impossible to parry, but my hand was already moving.

[effect….]

Numerous buffs strengthen my body.

On top of one defensive formula, dozens of buffs are stacked.

The sword of grief released a blue aura and let out an ear-piercing scream.

ㅡKiii Iik!!!

After that, a black red solid line collides with a blue solid line.

And then, a gigantic piercing sound rang out.

ㅡQuaaang!!!

Of course, it was me who was the first to fall out of the shock wave that spread all over the place.

I flew back dozens of meters and crashed to the ground, and I had to cough up blood while sitting on the spot.

His physical condition was truly pitiful.

Because I couldn’t perfectly block the blow I just had, my left arm and shoulder were completely torn.

Dark red blood was oozing from the stomach that had been stabbed with a knife.

If you tear off the hem of your clothes to try to stop the bleeding somehow,

Lenin reveals his body through the wind of dust blowing in the grass.

“ha ha ha…..”

Seeing that heinous death, a mocking laugh came out.

Even after exchanging such overwhelming blows, only light scars remained on his body.

“Despair, hero… With an overwhelming opponent in front of you, what does your sword feel?”

“What, what bullsh*t… Mr., you talk so much, yes…”

I use the sword in my hand as a walking stick to step on the floor.

Ung-ung, the sword of sorrow cries and expresses its dissatisfaction.

Sorry, I’ll be like this for a little while.

I can’t move my body…

I gasped for breath at the limit, wiping the blood from the corner of my mouth.

Lenin, who has been poised again before he knows it, speaks to me.

“Giving up is a privilege given to the weak.

“f*ck, ka…”

“…Yes. You are strong, so you don’t need the privilege of the weak.”

ㅡwhee oh oh…

Once again, the dark red sword rushes over his sword.

The scattering bloody storm felt like an image of death.

“I respect you. Therefore, I will respond to the sword until the end.”

-Transcendence of the 8th expression of Lenin’s offensive swordsmanship-

‘Extermination’

A huge tidal wave of death rains down on me.

What lies within is despair.

It was a terrible malice that was purely intended to harm the other person.

‘Can I stop it…’

Thoughts like that run through my head, but I shake my head to erase them.

block

never block it

If you pass this over, you can feed him the ‘it’ you’ve been preparing for a while.

It’s just that everything you need is in place.

If it’s ‘it’ that’s fully charged, you’ll be able to reach that guy with unmatched strength.

No, it has to be.

‘I survive for now.’

I’m going to break through that tsunami.

Row and row, cross the waves,

I will reach the end of that sea where there is only death.

I move my sword

And rowing.
