Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

80 – Part 2 Episode 36

“So, Master.”

“I want to talk.”

“The identity of the massacre cultist is the daughter of the demon king.”

“Yes.”

“Are you saying you didn’t even try to pursue it?”

“As expected, my disciple, you are quick to understand.”

After…

My head hurt when I saw the grand duke sitting on my desk with a calm expression and talking as if he were telling a story of martial arts.

“… Was there really no chance?”

“The bat knows nothing else, but its ability to escape is excellent, so it is difficult to catch it if it runs with determination.”

The grand duke, who finished his brief closure in less than a year, was so strong that I wondered what he had done during that time. A sigh came out.

“The Holy Land said that demons hadn’t appeared in this land yet.”

“She also thought so. That is, until she discovered the b*tch herself. She’s been hiding that well, so it’s no wonder that Kiriya didn’t notice her.”

Perhaps death helped, the Archduke added, since it smelled unpleasant and disgusting.

“… The devil said, a thousand years ago. So from the time the empire was founded, demons have been in this land.”

As I heard from Argo, the green dragon, the civil war between the dragons took place right before or after the founding of the empire.

“Then, Master, are you saying that the Dragonlord watched demons cross over and cheat in my realm?”

“Yes.”

“It is difficult to understand.”

“It’s been a long time since I gave up on trying to understand Lord. The world says that dragons are capricious and willful, but what about the pinnacle of such dragons? Maybe your brother doesn’t fully understand the road either.”

“By the way, how long does the guardian dragon of the empire stay in the valley of the dragon? It would be nice if he could borrow some of that power.”

She said that she would be put on probation herself.

“Brother? Well… I never thought about it. I just thought it would come out when the time came.”

“The entire continent has fallen to its knees, but I thought I would be worried because there were not enough troops to handle it.”

The knights and magicians of all kingdoms, as well as the empire, will be moved by my words, but among them, those who have reached transcendence and those who can deal with the gods are less than a handful.

At most, a hero or a grand duke, a bit risky, but a lion king and a mage tower master that are difficult to handle at will?

The Duke of Fail seems to be a possibility, but it’s still too much, and if other masters want to deal with the Transcendentalist, even if the majority work together, they will have to be prepared for sacrifice.

“My dear, this is what the original woman always thinks about, but you worry too much.”

“Your forces do not fall short compared to the lords of the great wars of old. The Masters under you are not weak compared to the Giant King’s bodyguards, and seem to be stronger than the Elf Queen’s escort knights, so why worry so much?”

“… Even if Sir Peltz, Sir Giel, and Duke Pale work together, will they reach Master?”

“… My dear, did you really hold the standard of a transcendental being as her original daughter?”

“The Pope said that the wolf he dealt with earlier was particularly strong among the Transcendentalists, so there aren’t many other Transcendentalists he knows… “

The battle with the wolf ended without much damage, but the content was never satisfactory.

I and the Grand Duke came to the fore, Duke Pale, Peltz, Giel, as well as all the Masters of the Imperial Family and Imperial Knights, but I couldn’t get a critical hit until Shien came.

Even though it was a wolf that had just been released from the seal, the damage would have been great if it hadn’t been for either me or the hero. There was no

“… Of course, the first Transcendentalist you dealt with was the King of Beasts, so you must have had that kind of misunderstanding.”

“The first Transcendentalist I dealt with was a descendant of Edelwein, but he was not a proper Transcendentalist… “

Dealing with Edelwein, a transcendental figure who played with the arrangement of death, the Duke of Pale was seriously injured and managed to escape with his life.

Among the Masters under my command, if you exclude Shien, Duke Pale is the strongest. If so, can my Masters really use their strength against other transcendentalists?

“If a great mage who has lived for 300 years is not a proper transcendental person, then what is a proper transcendentalist?”

“Yes… ?”

“I couldn’t see her directly, but she said that you said that his magic pierced the yellow language, right?”

“Yes. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured, but the magic clearly pierced the Yellow Language.”

Before Edelwein used the energy of death, when he fought with his pure power, the magic called the ultimate magic of jewel magic broke my yellow horse with a simple power and damaged me.

“… Even in the old days, there weren’t many transcendentalists who could break dragon words head-on.”

“Isn’t he just a chess piece played by death? Also, he was unilaterally tossed around even by the owner of the mage tower… “

“Hmm… Was that place a magic tower?”

“Yes.”

“In Viola’s Mage’s Tower, the original woman has also visited several times. If her place is her mage tower, her original daughter would not have the confidence to defeat her with her magic alone, but if she were a pure mage, it would be difficult for her to use her power regardless of her realm.”

“If you say only magic.”

“We dragons were conquerors of the continent even before the Lord created magic.”

Okay.

The two dragons I’ve encountered so far have been walking around in the form of a human and an elf, respectively, but if they return to their original form and rampage, that alone would be a disaster. Even more so if you use a dragon.

“Um… dear Then how about this one?”

Until now, I had calculated the strength of my allies, assuming that Ethel Vine would be of a lower rank among Transcendentalists.

“Didn’t Kiriya’s agent say that the beasts would wake up soon? I have no intention of infringing on your authority, but this time, why don’t you follow the original woman’s words in the battle of beasts?”

“I have already thought of something.”

“Can you hear me?”

“The Magic Tower Master is one, and Shien is one with his comrades. The Lion King, the Pale Duke, and the Black Swan Master are one. And the last one I was thinking of handling myself.”

“Excellent organization, but you had better trust your masters more. If the appearance of beasts can give you more confidence in your power, this might be a good thing.”

The Archduke gestured to float ice in the air, and sculpted four shapes with it.

A snake with hundreds of heads.

An armored ogre holding a huge greatsword.

A turtle carrying a volcano on its back.

And…

“The last one… Are you a dragon?”

“Hmm, hmm. It’s embarrassing, but it is. Anyway! That’s not important.”

The Grand Duke talked about Daejin as if he were turning his words around.

“In my opinion, if it is the imperial knights of the empire, she will be able to deal with a beast. Coincidentally, the monster kings and demon beasts under Ogre Lord are taking the form of an army, so they will be good opponents.”

“That snake is called Echidna, and it is the progenitor of all Hydras. What were the names of those dark knights under you?”

“… The Hwangyeong Knights.”

“Yes, if it’s with them and the Magic Corps, I can deal with them.”

“… Would that be possible?”

“There must be some avoidance. But you can’t make fun of the military just because there will be damage.”

“I mean, even if you take damage, can you catch the beast?”

“It is possible. How come you don’t seem to trust your subordinate more than her original daughter? When she fights wolves, she keeps an eye on your men. So believe me.”

There are only two Masters in the Hwangyeong Knights, and there is no Grand Mage in the Magic Corps. Is that really possible?

The picture of defeating the Grand Duke, the wolf, or the Edelweinom in front of him with just them was not drawn, but the Grand Duke was so eloquent that it was passed.

From noble mtl dot com

“I don’t know about the Lion King and the Black Swan, but if they’re as strong as the Duke of Pale, those three will be able to catch the turtle.”

“Is it just a turtle… ?”

“I think there was a name, but I can’t remember. Finally a warrior. That hero was so strong that even the original woman couldn’t understand it. No matter how much you helped me, you still cut wolves. If so, he should be able to cut off the last beast. That ugly thing is not as strong as a wolf.”

Thus, the Archduke completed his march with only the troops under me.

I wondered if this was true, but I accepted the grand duke’s offer because I thought it would be necessary to check it at least once, unless I wanted to leave them alone not only for the beasts, but also for the battles to follow.

“By the way, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so it’s only about work.”

“It’s only been a few months, isn’t it? And what else could the emperor and the grand duke have to talk about?”

“What if it wasn’t the emperor and the grand duke, but the teacher and the disciple?”

“If you are talking about a new realization, I am also welcome.”

That was the car I was curious about.

At the very least, it lived much longer than a thousand years, and it probably lived for thousands of years. What did the dragon do to become so strong in just a few months?

I thought that the Archduke would soon talk about his accomplishments with a happy expression, but contrary to my expectations, the Archduke closed his mouth with a sullen face.

“… ?”

What is it? Is it a secret from me too?

My short thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the communication phrase connected to Anon’s Lion King.
