Chapter 139 Road to the East

In the imperial courtroom, the princess and Gilliant stood facing each other.

The imperial knights were excited about being able to see the couple fight, which was difficult to watch.

“Of course the princess will lose, but can we see how much she has grown?”

As one knight spoke, the knights next to him also spoke one word at a time.

“That’s right. I heard that the princess recently entered the sword expert stage.”

“Didn’t you say that magic is currently in the 5th circle?”

“As expected, the person who inherited His Majesty’s blood is different.”

“Now, I can’t even apply for sparring recklessly.”

At Charleigh’s instruction, the princess had occasional sparring with the knights.

So, it was often the wish of the knights of the empire to compete with the princess at least once.

However, the princess’s skills had improved so much that she couldn’t even apply for sparring now.

“If you grow at this rate, the princes will catch up.”

“Ah, please. It hasn’t been long since both princes became sword masters, right?”

“Perhaps going to the Demon Realm was under a lot of pressure, after the banquet, both of you focused only on training, and in the end you achieved it.”

“If this happens, our empire will truly have no one to win on the continent!”

“Everyone, stop talking and focus, because we’re starting now.”

The knights stopped chatting and looked at the situation ahead.

“Pieta, aren’t you overdoing it?”

“Everyone in the empire is risking their lives in training, how can I be the only one who can rest in peace?”

At Gilliant’s words, Princess Pieta Cetric corrected her sword and said,

“Please, teach me.”

“Okay, then you should be prepared as much as I am the opponent. I won’t treat you as a member of the royal family like Charleigh.”

“This is what I hoped for.”

“Attack first.”

As Gilliant said, extending her sword to the side, the princess quickly ran towards him and extended her sword.

“Ha!”

The princess, who learned the swordsmanship of the Imperial Knights and the swordsmanship of Charleigh, created her own swordsmanship by fusing the two.

Like her personality of being sensible and cool, the princess’s swordsmanship was not flashy.

Instead, he accurately penetrated the opponent’s loopholes with efficient movements.

visor!

However, her sharp blow was also blocked by Giliant’s sword.

It seemed like they just laid out their swords and showed gaps, but Gilliant’s movement to block the princess’s sword was quick and perfect.

“Chit.”

The princess clicked her tongue in her heart as if she was resentful that her blow hadn’t taken effect, and continued with the next move.

visor!

But, the second attack too.

Chaechaechaeng!

The third and fourth attacks were all blocked by Gillian’s sword.

“It’s so simple it makes you yawn.”

Giliant pointed out the flaws in the princess’s swordsmanship and attacked her side with the sword.

“omg.”

He hurriedly tried to block Gilliant’s attack, but he moved faster than the princess.

“Kyaa!”

When Gilliant’s sword struck the side of the princess, the princess lost her strength and had to sit down on the spot.

“omg! omg! How did you do it?”

It wasn’t particularly painful.

However, as the power drained all the way, I had no choice but to sit down.

“I used mana to make my legs weak.”

“I knew you were injecting mana into the sword, but you mean you can channel it into someone else’s body?”

“Certainly, you resemble the empress and have excellent understanding. It took your father half a year to understand this.”

At Gilliant’s words, the knights who were watching around turned into rabbit eyes and looked at each other.

“What do you mean by all this?”

“Is the empress also capable of swordsmanship?”

The knights were astounded.

It was because there was no opportunity for the empress to step forward and show off her swordsmanship skills.

However, the empress had never learned swordsmanship.

Although she understood everything with her head, the empress was weak and unable to practice swordsmanship.

The empress, the first duke of the kingdom ruled by Emperor Cetric’s father, had extraordinary hair, but was weak and unable to master swordsmanship or magic.

The emperor fell in love with the empress because of her smart hair.

However, the knights could not know the inside story.

“Abama is famous for being dull.”

The princess stood up with Gilliant’s support and smiled.

“Thank you for your teaching.”

“Well, it’s Seojun’s request, so I’ll deal with it anytime.”

Gilliant helped the princess regain strength in her lower body and left the gym together.

The place they headed was a room in the imperial palace, where Yoo Seo-jun and his party were there.

“Princess, Gilliant, is the sparring over?”

Kang Hyuk was the first to greet them as they entered.

“Yes, have you all been waiting long?”

At the words of the princess, Seol Min-young approached and said.

“No, everyone was enjoying their free time after a long time. Princess, how was Dalian?”

“It was good. Then, shall we begin the conversation?”

Those waiting in the room were the guild leaders and executives of each guild union that had come from Earth to Fantasia.

Emperor Cetric thought it would be good for a princess who had known them even once to act as a stepping stone.

So, the princess began to explain the current state of preparations for the empire to the people of Earth.

“… … This is what is currently being prepared and happening in the Empire.”

“So, are you saying that Seojun went east? Alone?”

Seol Min-yeong asked with a worried face, and the princess also nodded with a dark expression.

“yes. Archmage Penzaric tried to stop it, but Count Yoo Seo-jun was stubborn.”

“If Seo-joon has a personality, that’s what he is. When I heard that story, I was also trembling with resentment.”

It wasn’t just Seol Min-young.

The same was true of Oh Soo-yeon and Kang Hyuk, who had come over here with Seo-joon at the time.

“How! too much! It must be the work of demons, right?”

As Kanghyuk stood up and shouted, the princess shook her head.

“I don’t know that yet. Count Yu Seo-jun went to find out about it, so we have no choice but to wait for his call.”

At the story of the princess, everyone was thinking their own thoughts with serious expressions.

At that time, Yi Hui stood up and said.

“It’s not that we don’t know Seo-joon’s skills, and he’s not someone who would only act emotionally. Let’s think about what we need to focus on now.”

Everyone nodded at Yihui’s words.

The reason they gathered here in the first place was to go to the Demon World.

I was busy preparing it now.

“We have already completed the means to move.”

“Then, we should talk about joint training.”

After that, the people, led by the princess, Lee Hui, and Danian, began to plan how to conduct joint training with the imperial army.

At the same time, the princess thought about Yoo Seo-jun.

‘Please, return safely.’

Gilliant was lost in thought alone, watching the people from behind.

‘Hmm, what are the demons thinking? What will they gain if they separate the East from the Empire?’

And he was worried about Yoo Seo-joon, who headed east.

‘The East is never a good place. There’s a reason why the empire didn’t expand further east. Just in case, I’ll take the opportunity and go to the east to pick up Yoo Seo-joon.’

And Seol Min-young was also worried about that.

‘Seojun, are you okay? Please protect Seo Jun.’

Thus, various preparations to go from the capital of the Empire to the Demon Realm with their own thoughts began to be actively made.

*

The road to the East beyond the borders of the Empire was desert.

If you cross this desert area, it is said that the eastern border guards will come out.

In a way, this desert served as the demilitarized zone between Korea and North Korea.

“Do you know anything about the east?”

I asked the elements, but they all denied it.

[If you ask us about it, the answers we can give are limited.]

[If you ask about the land or nature of the East, we can tell you, but if it’s about their culture or people, we can’t tell you anything.]

“Those are things you have to experience yourself. Because we are just playing the original role of the element by people’s side, we don’t observe them.]

That was the answer of the elements.

“How was I chosen without observing?”

The elemental force of light answered my question.

[That’s because the system helped.]

“system?”

[As I said before, the system is a device to maintain Yggdrasil, the world tree. The system can interfere with everything in the world on behalf of God. That system has chosen you for balance. If you ask us why, that’s an area we can’t answer.]

[Just put it simply, it’s God’s will. We chose you with God’s guidance.]

Zofors, who briefly summarized Force’s answer, continued with a dark aura.

[It’s not time to talk about Seon dialogue, shouldn’t we deal with those approaching guys?]

As he said, monsters from the desert were coming towards me.

[Virus Outbreak! Virus Outbreak!]

It was then that the system’s message rang.

“Ha, what kind of error is it that the system recognizes it as a virus even though it has chosen it?”

A sigh came out of my mouth at the constant virus notification.

Kyaaagh!

I threw a fireball at the venomous snake leaping out of the desert sand, and I blocked the tail of the scorpion attacking from the left with my shield.

“Summons!”

I immediately summoned about 5 monsters and had them fight the monsters in the desert.

bang!

The sand of the desert bounced up from the bat wielded by the summoned troll, and the hiding sandworms raised their heads.

Keee

They began threatening me with thick saliva dripping from their mouths.

After descending from the wolf, I drew my sword and first cut the scorpion in two before entering the crowd of sandworms.

“hot!”

In the center of the sandworms, he put the element of fire on his sword and swung it as it was.

A flaming crescent moon shot from the sword began to burn through the torso of the sandworms.

Chii profit!

As the sandworms burned, a savory smell began to spread.

aaagh!

At that time, the sand I was stepping on began to be sucked into the bottom quickly.

Before being buried in the sand, it floated into the air using the element of wind.

A few summoned beasts couldn’t escape and were sucked into the desert.

“What is that?”

When I asked the elements for the first sight, the element of the earth answered.

[It’s a phenomenon called quick sand, but it’s hard to happen in this environment. It looks artificial. There seems to be a monster underneath.]

Following his explanation, I first unsummoned all the summoned monsters and waited in the air for a while.

Then, at some point, the sand that had been dug and sucked into the ground bounced up and a huge creature appeared.

Kyaaagh!

It was a bug monster, with numerous teeth attached to its mouth that opened in a circle, and many long, sharp legs like a centipede.

Its size was as tall as a tolerable high-rise building.

[This is a giant desert centipede. It will pour poison, so avoid it.]

At the warning of the earth element, I quickly avoided the seat.

Chaaagh!

Sure enough, he poured venom towards the place where I was.

The sands of the desert quickly turned black and poisoned the area.

“All of them annoy me.”

I was still very angry right now.

I wanted to quickly go to the East to find out the truth, but I was tied up by monsters, so I felt like I was barely holding on to my reason.

[Yes, that’s it. Leave you in the dark.]

Zofos, feeling my state of mind, whispered.

However, his whisper was rather a device to prevent me from being caught in the dark.

“Stop being creepy and clear things in front of me right now.”

I fused the elements of fire and darkness and threw them at the giant desert centipede wriggling in front of me.

Roaring!

It wasn’t as powerful as the Lord of White Flames, but it was enough firepower to burn the whole centipede.

Kieeck!

Starting with that guy, the sparks I set off began to burn the entire area.

I landed a short distance away and saw another group of monsters approaching from afar and covered my body with mana.

“If possible, I tried to save energy until we reached the East.”

I didn’t know what was going to happen in the east, so I tried to save some energy.

However, seeing the monsters coming back, I felt like I was going to use all my strength dealing with the monsters before arriving in the East.

Rather, it was better to run at full speed.

Using the element of wind, I soon finished preparing and kicked the ground.

Then the sand bounced wildly around me, and my body stretched out in front of me.

It was the fastest I could achieve.

I started to cross the desert area as it was.

The monsters couldn’t dare to follow my speed.
