Chapter 152

royal palace, royal palace.

Brandis was alone in the silence, turning over the files.

I have work to do, but I just can’t concentrate.

The report from the Cetinos Quasar still lingers in my mind.

‘The King of the Great Sea invades the capital… … .’

Brandis pondered for a while, then let go of the file.

It was a letter from no one else but a black knight.

If it was another Cettinos quasar, he would have asked for a detailed reason, but the black knight couldn’t bear it.

‘Black moved while predicting all situations.’

At first, I had my doubts about him.

How can humans living in the kingdom of Allain understand the movement of the 3 demon kings and the 4 great disasters?

For a moment, I thought that it might be the Witchbeast, but I was able to believe it belatedly as the black knight made a feat.

‘I fought for my life, so I didn’t see the future.’

If the black knight could see the future, it would have been easier to subdue the 3 demon kings and the 4 disasters.

However, the black knight almost died in battle with the Narak King, and was able to defeat him after reviving.

Perhaps he had glimpsed an imperfect future, or simply had a great intuition.

‘If the Great Sea King comes, I… … .’

A heavy vibration came from outside the palace.

With the sound of something collapsing, the decorations and furniture in the office palace collapsed at the same time.

Brandis quickly stood up, reflecting on the report.

‘Was Black’s prediction correct?’

Brandis waits for the shaking to stop and recalls what happened decades ago.

The fight with Narakwang ended in a draw, but now he cherished it for a long time.

Since he couldn’t kill the Narak King with his own hands, shouldn’t he find a magic beast to replace him?

“your majesty! You must avoid it!”

Glonet entered the palace with the royal knights.

Brandis showed a calm gaze and slowly raised her mana.

“What is it?”

“The Great Sea King is approaching the palace. They say they just attacked the palace!”

“… Where is the commander-in-chief?”

“We have been summoning troops, and we have conveyed our intention to defend the palace!”

“Bring your sword and armor.”

At Brandis’ answer, the Royal Knights swallowed their saliva in shock.

The current king was about to go into battle himself.

On top of that, I wondered if it would create a sense of awe because he even had the title of Setinos Quasar.

“your majesty! Leave this to the commander-in-chief… … .”

“This is my residence, and this is where bureaucrats do their business. Everyone is following me, so how can I just run away?”

“your majesty! But… … .”

“I won’t say it twice. Bring your sword and armor. I will punish him myself.”

Brandis looked at Glonet with a deep sense of fighting spirit.

Because the black knight had reported in advance, I was able to prepare to some extent.

There probably wouldn’t have been many casualties, and at best the palace buildings or walls would have been broken.

“I was waiting for him to come. Should I be terrified of just one demonic beast!”

At Brandis’ cry, Glonet immediately shut up.

As the leader of the royal knights, he was in a position to escort the king.

However, Brandis was also a swordsman and Setinos Quasar before he became a king.

Even the Narak King couldn’t surpass Brandis, but would the Great King make any difference?

“… I will obey the king’s command.”

“Have you contacted the capital garrison and security forces?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. It is said that all troops were mobilized to protect the people of the capital.”

“Black has saved many lives.”

Brandis was relieved internally and calmed the seething magic power.

If the black knight hadn’t raised his mantra, the royal palace and officials would have suffered considerable damage.

In addition, countless people would have been swept away by the attack, and wouldn’t it have consumed a lot of manpower and time just to settle the situation?

‘My choice wasn’t wrong.’

Brandis put in a lot of effort to get the black knight.

He tried to convince the high-ranking officials somehow, and gathered all the Setinos quasars in the palace.

In the case of the silver phantom thief and the purple shrine, they had to stay in the outskirts as much as possible, but for one reason, they quickly returned to the capital.

It was only for a moment that the five Setinos Quasars gave the same opinion.

‘I need black to be able to deal with them.’

The Black Knight predicted the movements of the 3 Demon Lords and the 4 Major Disasters, and actively responded accordingly.

Even if it wasn’t accurate, it reduced the damage inflicted on allies, or pushed it in reverse.

In fact, the existence of the black knight alone was enough to protect the kingdom of Alain.

‘I’m sure white and blue are coming too.’

The white apostle would move with the black knight, and the blue sage would have already noticed the change.

The silver phantom thief and the purple shrine might not be able to return to the capital, but I wasn’t worried.

With just this number of people, we should be able to stand against the Great King.

‘Even if I just drag my time… Well?’

Brandis felt an unfamiliar sensation and instinctively began to orient herself.

It was a sensation I encountered for the first time, but I quickly got used to it.

It was as if he was trying to find something he had long since lost.

‘I don’t know what it is… … .’

The name and form were being handed down from something.

But I couldn’t make out it, and I could only vaguely guess.

‘Is it a sword? Is the sword calling me?’

* * *

The road to the capital of the kingdom of Alain, the royal palace.

Enrite was running hastily after seeing the palace collapse.

I had to go as soon as possible, but I couldn’t find a horse around here.

In addition, people flocked to it, so it only slowed down the closer they got to the palace.

‘… I can’t respond when they come like that.’

Enrite looks up at the sky with a sigh.

A boat with a pure white color was flying in the air.

It floated quite high, so even if you tried to attack it from the palace, it did not reach the ship.

Above all, the range on the ship side was longer, so there was no choice but to be defeated one-sidedly.

‘Even though I predicted the coming of the Great Sea, I couldn’t stop it.’

Of course, if he hadn’t predicted it, the palace would have collapsed and more casualties would have occurred one after another.

The capital garrison and security forces were already on the move, and officials had safely evacuated.

Perhaps by now, the Royal Knights and the troops under the commander-in-chief were gathering.

“It’s all because of you. If you were going to predict it, you should have predicted it correctly.”

Enrite glanced at Lesia and showed a disapproving expression.

Lecia was aware that the artificial sword was approaching, but she did not notice how close it was.

If I had understood that part properly, I would have reacted more quickly.

“I don’t know anything other than that, so what can I do?”

“Are you making excuses now?”

“Why are you doing this? I did enough.”

“I did enough, but why did this result come out?”

“Why are you asking me that? Didn’t you tell me you were coming?”

“Didn’t you allow the surprise attack because you missed the timing!”

“Even if I knew, wouldn’t I have been surprised? How do you stop that?”

“If we had known, we could have bought time to evacuate. That means less people die!”

“You think I don’t know that? If I knew, I would have taught you!”

“after… … .”

Enrite stopped talking first, feeling that there was no end.

Lesia felt displeased, but did not argue further.

Saeran quietly followed and led the knights.

‘I don’t think it’s time to fight… … .’

Now, if you come and weigh your mistakes, nothing will change.

Now, we have to defeat the Great King and save even one more people.

Of course, it was not something anyone could do, and the longer it was delayed, the greater the damage would be.

‘There must be a black knight.’

Although there are Setinos quasars and magic sword users, there is no guarantee of victory in the battle with the Great King.

However, it seemed that the Black Knight would be able to defeat the Great King somehow.

He made a great contribution to subjugating the Shadow Dragon, and he also annihilated the King of Narak himself.

‘If the black knight doesn’t step up, who will fight the Great King?’

The black knight said that he had work to do and that he could not fight the Great King.

Everyone present had doubts, but Enritte and Hanette quietly accepted them.

Perhaps Enrite and Hanette knew what the black knight was trying to do.

‘Because the Cetinos quasar is also coming… … .’

There are currently four Cetinos quasars in the capital.

If the black knight was eliminated, three would remain, and the demonic sword user and other knights would join them.

However, considering the battle with the Narak King, the allies could have been pushed back.

‘If the King of the Great Sea continues to be as strong as the King of Narak… … .’

Saeran had fought countless demons, but never felt as much fear as he did then.

Even though the magic sword user and Setinos Quasar attacked, the Narak King did not fall.

Rather, as time passed, his mana overflowed, and even if he was injured, he quickly recovered.

If the black knight had not been revived, what would have happened to the allies who were there?

‘I have no confidence.’

Saeran was anxious but did not stop walking.

If you become a knight, you must always risk your life.

Because he had a magic sword, he became stronger than other knights and was able to spread the knowledge of the Silreys Knights.

I’ve achieved a lot even now, but I didn’t want to linger here.

‘I am also using a magic sword. One day, I will be able to become like the black knight.’

Of course, it was close to a distant ideal.

No matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to have superior talent and the dark demonic sword, Acid Rain.

I just believed that there would be such a possibility for the thunderbolt demonic sword Nailing.

‘Because El Thesoicve has also changed… … .’

Saeran hurriedly stopped after feeling the energy of the magic sword.

The only demonic sword that had no owner was spreading magic.

Enrite looked back at herself slightly surprised.

“This… … .”

The demonic sword of the earth, Gerganber, was shaking violently.

I thought it was still recovering, but at some point it regained its original form.

Enrite, Lecia, and Serran all knew the meaning of this phenomenon.

“I guess the time has come to let go.”

“Did you finally find it?”

Enrite accepted Gerganber’s will and sent the form out of her body.

Gerganber instantly transforms into a light brown air current and flies away.

“That direction is the way to the palace.”

“… You will know when you go.”

Enritte moves quickly through the crowd.

As Lesia said, Gerganber was approaching the palace.

There must have been someone with qualifications in the royal palace.

‘I think I know roughly who it is.’

Many strong people gathered in the palace.

Even the Royal Knights could not count the number, and there were many strong knights under the commander-in-chief.

Above all, the Setinos Quasar was located at the center of the palace.

‘If the king is qualified… … .’

Curiosity and fear were rising at the same time.

What will happen when the swordsman, said to be the strongest in the kingdom of Alain, holds the magic sword?

‘Even if I can’t annihilate the Great Sea, I can drive it out.’

Decades ago, even King Narak couldn’t surpass the current king.

The king did not go to the battlefield after that, but he became stronger while maintaining his youth.

In addition, since the demonic sword of the earth, Gerganber, was added, who would dare to stand in its way?

‘finally… Have all the magic swords and magic sword users gathered?’
