Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

77 – Part 2 Episode 33

A mountain without an owner located between Anon and Zer.

The Master Hunter, who was once called a candidate for the best sword in the continent, laughed out loud.

“Ha, it’s true that I’ve been retiring for a while, but aren’t you guys just scumbags?”

Once bandits, now followers of the Slaughter Cult, each held their weapon against the hunter.

The hunter didn’t even get angry when things came out like that, let alone a master, even if they were highly regarded, they couldn’t even be an expert.

“I don’t know how you got here, but just go.”

“… Hunter.”

“Yes, yes. I am a hunter You guys seem a bit young to know me, where did you hear that? Isn’t that duke or King Anon more famous than me these days?”

“Wouldn’t you like to surpass the Duke of Pale and the Lion King?”

Static.

At the words of the slayer, the smile disappeared from the hunter’s face, and the sarcasm stopped.

After a moment of silence, the hunter resumed his speech in a calm tone.

“… Well. I want to get over it… You don’t want to be involved with hot things like you do?”

From the hunter’s point of view, those bandits were not normal.

It’s bloody, well, even if bandits were originally like that, the vicious red aura that lingered all over the body and the angular attitude that was not like a bandit was rather close to that of a religious group.

‘Religious groups… ?’

A hunter lives in seclusion in the mountains, but that doesn’t mean he has completely cut ties with the world.

He wasn’t hunting wild animals, and of course he had to go down the mountain to find food.

As a result, I naturally heard about this and that, and I also heard about a pseudo-religion that has recently been randomly committing massacres.

“Are you all members of the Slaughter Church?”

“Yes. We serve the great slaughter… “

The bandit’s head was blown off before he could answer.

“This garbage… “

The sword in the hunter’s hand sparkled before he knew it.

“… I know you’re not a very nice person either.”

Although the talking bandit’s head was blown off, another bandit standing next to him continued.

Even though his colleague’s head was blown away, his attitude without even a slight movement was appalling, but he had too much experience as a hunter to be intimidated by this.

“I didn’t kill normal people, you scumbags.”

“Don’t pay attention to the little things. Hunter. Hold our hand Haksal will give you strength as well.”

“f*ck me.”

“Hunters. Haksal wants you… “

Took.

The hunter’s sword shone once more.

This time, not only the talking bandit, but all the slaughter cultists on the spot dropped their heads.

“… Was it shallow… ? Just send these things.”

“You didn’t underestimate me?”

Creepy.

Without noticing, a voice came from behind, and the hunter reflexively swung his sword.

Something in the form of a person was cut with a cutting sound, but it was soon

It turned into a pile of dirt and fell.

“Shaman… ?”

“Yes! I’m a sorcerer! I am Essus, a disciple of Fagus, who was the great sorcerer of the kingdom of Tamiel!”

A clear voice echoed in the mountains.

At this, the hunter drew his sword and said warily.

“Pagus, I know that old man. I even met him in person when I was young. Is the man well?”

“No. He died because he was killed by the Empire bastards.”

The clear voice subsided in an instant to the extent that a double personality was suspected, and the voice was full of murder.

“Really? It’s too bad. But why are you f*cking with me? I am not an imperial citizen.”

“Well, I came because I wanted to recruit the hunter. Won’t we hold hands together? We will avenge the Empire together!”

The shaman suggested again in a clear voice.

‘Crazy b*tch’

“I have no grudge against the Empire.”

“Um… Even if you don’t have a grudge, don’t you have any ill feelings? Duke of Pale. You hate it.”

“… “

No… Not doing

Rather than ill feelings, yes.

It’s close to an inferiority complex.

He had always hated dukes and royalty and those who condescended to be noble, but it is true that he did not like those nobles because they were good at handling swords.

“By the way, I don’t hate you enough to want to kill you, do you? If he wanted to kill him, he would have started a long time ago.”

“Didn’t he have no confidence? Now, even if the hunter is inferior to the Duke of Pale, if you receive the grace of the great Slaughter! You say you can kill as many dukes as you like?”

“There is no work.”

“Oh… ? The headmaster said that the hunter would be suffering from an inferiority complex, so he would come over with a little coaxing… ?”

“What would the pseudo cult know?”

“It can’t be… Well, okay. I’m sorry to say that, but I can’t help it. Goodbye then!”

“Where are you going… Ugh!”

Weaken, petrify, poison.

All sorts of curses attacked the hunter in an instant without warning.

It was a skill that far exceeded that of the shamans that the hunter knew.

‘The old man, Fagus, wouldn’t have been like this either… ‘

I resisted by raising an aura, but it wasn’t perfect, and the assassins hiding under the spell aimed at the hunter’s neck while aiming for the gap that the hunter was shaken for a moment, and flew

“Because it’s okay to look down on me… “

Even if it was weakened by a curse, the hunter was once a master who was considered the best sword in the continent along with the sword king and the storm sword.

An assassin was an assassin, even if it was enhanced with the power of slaughter.

The assassins who rushed in were crushed like fallen leaves, and the hunter swung his sword once more and started cutting down the trees around him.

‘Draws out the shaman.’

The shaman had planned to cut down all the natural objects in this area and then drag them out and kill them.

At the tip of the hunter’s sword, the aura stretched like a thread and then split into dozens of strands.

The thread of the aura moved as if it had a will, cutting down trees and breaking rocks to fill the area.

“Child, let’s come out soon. Thinking of your relationship with your master, I’ll cut you cleanly.”

Actually, there was nothing to say it was meant to be because it was only a long way away, but the hunter swung his sword and spat out randomly.

“That is difficult. There are orders from the headmaster, and you have to take revenge. I can’t die yet. Therefore… Would you like to step out? Don’t just watch.”

“What do you mean by stepping out… ?”

It was a judgment based entirely on intuition when he stopped swinging his sword and leaned down.

A dark red sword traveled over the hunter’s head, engulfing everything in its path.

What caught the hunter’s eyes as he raised his head was a man holding a greatsword full of black, ominous energy, different from the red aura of massacre.

“So, you really almost died? Ugh, just thinking about that time gives me chills down my spine. “

…

“Be mindful of the tone.”

“Gee, the young lady is too tight. In the old days, I wasn’t the kind of person who would ask people to come here and there.”

“… ”

“Okay, okay! This trapper meets the noble Emperor. It’s okay?”

“… I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Because this senior is so ignorant of etiquette… I will take you and teach you etiquette, and then I will see you again.”

“No, there is no need for that. Pale Duke. Minister Dia. You too, calm down for now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Yes, yes. Is His Majesty the Emperor all right?”

“That cheeky way of speaking is something that can be corrected later, so let’s finish talking.”

“Yes, yes. Your majesty. So, he had a rough fight with the magic swordsman and ran away because he couldn’t win. The curse was also a curse, but honestly, I don’t know if he can win even if he fights the magic swordsman one-on-one. So he just ran away. It would have been nice if they sent it to me, but they were persistent, so I was wondering where to go and came to our Duke of Pale.”

“Who is our Pale Duke?”

“Ha, when I was young, I followed you around as senior, senior, but after receiving the title, I changed.”

“… Sediment.”

“What?”

“Stop.”

To be honest, it was quite fun to watch the jokes between Duke Pale and that hunter, but the information the hunter brought was more important than that.

“So… The shaman and magic swordsman became followers of massacre. Also, no matter where you go, the number of believers has increased to the point where you can see them.”

“Yes! Those guys are really persistent. From villagers in the countryside to mercenaries and free knights, there was even a time when a noble family came after me with red eyes.”

“… Aren’t the powers they say they gave you, at the level of an Auror user? Because of that power… “

“From His Majesty’s point of view, who faces guys like me and Duke Pale every day, he might be an auror user, but in fact, there are many people who can’t even feel an auror even though they’ve worked hard all their lives. Especially among the mercenaries, there are many such guys. But just stabbing the guy next to me or those powerless people makes me stronger? Tempting.”

“That is unpleasant. Certainly not long ago, they defined the Slaughter Cult as my enemy, and said that its followers and collaborators would be summarily punished regardless of the reason.”

“Well, royalty and aristocrats from each country tremble at every word from Your Majesty, but there are many people who don’t like that in the bottom of life.”

“Is it an experience story?”

“… Yes.”

“Well, that’s good. I don’t care how the evil god, who was decapitated long ago, reappears and misbehaves. Jim, as the rightful owner of this continent, will not let those who disturb it. More than eight-eighth of the self-proclaimed Slaughter Cults died before you arrived here. Probably more died while we were talking. Except for the minimum number of people who will protect the system, all the knights of the imperial family and the imperial family are circling the continent and eradicating them. Not only. Not to mention Pale, Greppa, and Triel. The entire power of the empire, including all the noble knights following me and the imperial magic corps, has moved.”

I was enraged at the deaths of my subjects and the peoples of the continent I would rule over, and I was enraged at the fact that my planned schedule was disrupted.

My servants responded faithfully to my wrath.

“… This is why, even when I was immature, the empire tried not to touch me.”

Perhaps, that massacre is one with death.

If a god appeared a thousand years after being decapitated, it would be nothing but death.

That level is not very threatening.

Perhaps even now there are some who could be called the elite if they were enough to threaten the hunters, who were among the masters on the continent, but excluding them, the rest were tens of thousands of chaffs.

Perhaps it was for the purpose of distracting me and limiting my actions.

“It’s not just the Empire. The Holy Kingdom declared a holy war. Anon’s Royal Knights moved, and Zer also moved his hidden troops. The black swan is moving with the disciples.”

No matter what they’re up to, I’ll dry the seeds without giving them time to do it.

Also, this time, it was also something that could prove how efficient it is when continents move as one.

Subjugating pseudo-groups that are massacring all over the continent at an unprecedented speed?

Actually, it’s not a situation where more justifications are needed, but when it comes to justifications, the more the better the better.

“… It will be difficult to find mercenaries on the continent for a while. I see that most of them are mercenaries or bandits.”

“I don’t know how many idiots who sold their souls to evil spirits died. The mercenaries aren’t very productive, after all, they’re wandering around like a pack of wild dogs chasing the smell of blood.”

“… Your Majesty, do you know that I am a mercenary?”

“I heard from Duke Pale. Ah, the hunter. Since you came to the Empire, you should receive a title. Originally, it is customary for masters from outside to receive the title of baron, but you are given the title of count considering your age and reputation. Consider it an honor, as it is the same title as a duke of another country or the king of a lesser country.”

“Huh? No no. I’m not here to settle down in the Empire. I’m just going to share some information with His Majesty, and trust myself until they calm down… “

“Pale Duke. What is the hunter’s name?”

“This is Wilhelm, Your Majesty.”

“Your name sounds great. Count Wilhelm, let’s do well in the future.”

The hunter regretted his choice when he suddenly thought that he had entered the tiger’s den to avoid the time of the wolf.

‘… I’ll go to Anon.’
