Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

78 – Part 2 Episode 34

The mercenaries who gained the grace of slaughter became stronger day by day.

Those who were mere ordinary people wielding swords, let alone sword skills, were able to pull out an aura soon after they started following the massacre.

Above all, it took neither bone-breaking effort nor talent to gain strength.

Just murder, and more murder.

The mercenary Thun was also a Slaughterer who became so strong.

He was humble in his own strength, but he had a good sense of humor from a young age, and he was a person who was even the vice-captain of a moderately sized mercenary group with that sense.

However, he is now stronger than the former leader of the mercenary corps he was a member of.

Stabbing the former general manager from behind, who was resentful of saying something pseudo, was, in Toon’s opinion, the best choice of his life.

‘hehehe, long live Haksal.’

There are no complicated orders and no strict rules.

Everything was allowed except for clashes between the same slaughter cultists.

“Guys.”

“Yes! Captain.”

“Let’s enjoy today to the fullest.”

“Yes!”

Just as Thun had done in the past few days, he led the mercenaries and moved to a new village.

——————————————————————————

“Captain Shen.”

“Why?”

A knight of the Imperial Knights said, cutting a Slayer in half with a sword.

“Are these bastards headless? We are scrambling to stop these guys, but they are openly crowding around like this.”

“I wonder if guys with that kind of brain fall into pseudoscience.”

“Well, that’s right. But aren’t the original mercenaries very cautious? It seems like you had a hard time subjugating the black hawk mercenaries in the past. “

“Okay.”

Shen also diligently used his sword to harvest the heads of the Slaughterers and answered.

There were only two imperial knights and dozens of slaughter cultists, but the fight itself did not materialize.

On rare occasions, strong people comparable to Masters or top-notch experts emerged, but basically, the level of the Slaughterers did not go beyond the level of those who had just entered Aura.

“What, if I accept that red aura, will I become stupid?”

“Maybe. Well, I don’t think they were all that wise before then.”

“Ah, there is one running away.”

“Oh, bother.”

Shen didn’t even pull out his bow, grabbed an arrow from his pocket and threw it at the fleeing mercenary.

An arrow thrown by hand flew with a roar and pierced the mercenary.

“Let’s finish quickly, there are many places to go.”

“Eh, I should have killed that religious leader back then.”

“How can we do something that even the warriors couldn’t do? I’m glad you didn’t die.”

“That’s right.”

Ben Shen swung his sword in the air to the last mercenary and wiped off the blood.

“Next to this is the mountain you can see in the foreground over there. Reports have come in that it seems to be a base for bandits who became slaughter cultists.”

“… Now we even go out to catch bandits.”

“Consider it fortunate that the neck remains. If the previous emperor had died, we would all be dead.”

The current emperor is very strict with his enemies, but on the contrary, he is very lenient with his subordinates, but his Majesty in the past was very strict with his subordinates.

If you let the escort target die during the emperor’s reign, and even missed that beast…

“Oh, I don’t even want to imagine. Let’s hurry. I should be back within this week.”

“Yes, captain.”

The two knights cleared a group of Slaughterers who were trying to attack a village, then left to find another Slaughterer.

Similar things were happening all over the continent.

—————————————————————————-

‘…… In response, Jim defines the Slaughter Church as his enemy. Anyone who has anything to do with the Slaughter Cult will face my wrath, and only terrible ruin awaits those foolish enough to become servants of evil spirits… ‘

“Tsk.”

The lady, the priest Haksal looked at the magic tool where the emperor’s speech was stored and turned it off in the middle.

“I tried to push through the volume offensive, but it didn’t work out. Whew. Even if we only recruited hunters, the number of cards we could use would have increased a lot.”

After the rise of the massacre, countless casualties occurred on the continent.

However, most of the victims were powerless territories, and there was no great damage to the forces of other countries, let alone the empire, which rarely recruited ordinary soldiers.

The number of slayers increased by as much as all the knights on the continent combined, but there was less confusion than expected because even just three or four knights could slaughter dozens of slayers.

“Of course, since the population has decreased, it will have to be a loss in the long run… Honestly, who knows what will happen in a few years! When that time comes

Things like that would have nothing to do with it.”

“Well, it’s not at all absurd. The shaman I joined last time isn’t bad, and he hates the empire more than anything. If you grow a little more, wouldn’t it be a name of its own? Ah, if possible, I would also like to have officers like the demon king’s corps commanders. Since the two seats are already filled, shall we find two more and call them the Four Heavenly Kings?”

“The other one? Of course it’s the swordsman! That’s a treasure In the first place, that demonic sword was not something that humans could handle, but a swordsman who controlled the demonic sword rather than being dominated by the demonic sword with mental strength and state! Well, when I slightly put my strength on the demonic sword, it got eaten. However, the value does not change. Hmm… How should I express it so that they can understand it? Ah! Okay. Do you remember what was called the sword of slaughter back then? It’s big and ugly. Oh, you’re not interested? Yes, what anyway. This magic swordsman is stronger than him. It’s to the point of regret that I had to accept him as the name of massacre because of this play in the first place. Where is the magic swordsman now? Well? Just set them free, don’t you know? Maybe to the Empire or Anon… “

Master Haksal, who had been talking, suddenly stopped talking as his face hardened.

“Oh, I was caught.”

From noble mtl dot com

The black mist that swirled around her quickly disappeared, and she also changed her appearance in an instant and put on the mask of the Slaughter Cult Master.

Shortly after that, a huge cold wave hit the slaughter cult leader’s lair.

——————————————————————————-

Artemia, the grand duke of the empire and the white dragon, was in a very bad mood.

I came out of the closed house at most, but to think I had to go around this wasteland.

When fighting the wolf, who was the king of beasts, he was worried about not being able to overcome the wolf even though he had trained for over a thousand years, and his pride collapsed in that he was overtaken by his disciple.

Baekryong, who has faced many people stronger than himself since long ago, but they were strong people from the beginning.

It was the first time he was overtaken by someone weaker than himself.

Even if it has special feelings. No. Rather so.

Baekryong decided to practice lung training.

Fortunately, I was able to take a step forward much faster than I thought, as if the accumulated years were not meaningless.

The moment her achievements appeared, she immediately got out of her closure and contacted her disciple.

‘Ah, Master.’

The disciple, who until recently was coldly called Grand Duke, often referred to himself as such, as if the word teacher was on his lips before he knew it.

Yes, these are the results of education.

‘Good. I was still waiting for Master to come out of the building.’

Really? Really?

As expected, my pupils were also waiting for this master.

I have to fly to the island right away. Then show off your newly learned skills, and then…

‘I have a request for you, Master.’

Her plan was shattered at the disciple’s word.

Even though it was her first contact with her, she was a bit dissatisfied with talking about her business right away, but her words that came right away made her not even think of complaining.

‘It seems that the devil has appeared.’

Devil.

The only things I know how to do are various tricks, alienation, shaming, and… What. I do a little bit of magic too. Anyway, such rubbish.

They appeared on this continent?

Why now?

Should I go see my pupil?

‘Those children were all sealed or fled after the death of the demon king.’

However, as the disciple said with confidence, he pretended to be deceived and swept the continent once.

I was thinking of using this as a pretext to ask for things if I messed up.

‘By the way, was it really there?’

At the disciple’s prediction that the massacre cult leader would be a demon, she pursued the energy of massacre.

It was also a god that he had seen in person, even from afar, and since the god’s energy itself was very rare on the current continent, he was able to find the source of that power.

If her close training didn’t work out, if it wasn’t for a dragon she’d faced slaughter herself, she’d never been found. She was well hidden, but her opponent was bad.

Even in her memory, there were quite a few demons that had been hiding in this way for a long time.

And, the way she brought out the hidden demon was also simple.

“Freeze.”

A silent blast of cold engulfed the lair of the Master Slaughter.
