chapter 33
“Omer Kingdom will now enter a new era.”
As Hores said, the Kingdom of Omer will now be different.
Rivertail, who killed his father and ascended to the throne, was unable to stop Elberstein’s army in the end.
no. He said he didn’t even try to stop it.
He was the one who became king by rebellion, and as rumors spread that he was in collusion with the devil, the public sentiment was so bad that the soldiers guarding the castle opened the gate and surrendered.
‘I don’t want him to forget my grace.’
There is no choice but to believe in Elberstein’s characteristic, ‘loyalty’.
It doesn’t matter what the difficulty of the game is, it doesn’t affect the characteristics.
“The church seems to be taking this issue seriously. Sooner or later what action they will take…”
The appearance of demons was, of course, not something to be taken lightly.
In addition, the time when the devil appeared was too fast.
It doesn’t seem like all of their seals have been broken yet…
‘It’s only a matter of time if we go on like this, right?’
There is a class called ‘Nephilim’ in the Techina tribe.
To put it simply, it’s a so-called boss monster that fits in the axis of the great devil.
Can you beat these guys 1v1?
Even if you have an inexhaustible spec up, it is impossible if the control does not follow, so you have to hunt through the Dine Raid.
However, the problem is that even within these Nephilim, the grades are divided, so it is really dizzy when you play opponents.
‘I desperately need the help of heroes to do a raid.’
Destroying the pattern and cooperating with the heroes in the game to defeat the Tekina tribe was the real pleasure of the latter part of the game.
When you are about to get tired of the game with enough specs, raid is to satisfy the fun of the game.
the problem is,
‘This is too fast. Besides, the main character hasn’t come out yet.’
The main character who will be the core of this game.
I don’t know where he is.
If I were a normal player, if I was a named character in the hero class, I wouldn’t have cared whether the main character appeared or not.
But now, the role of the main character was more important than anything else.
‘The main character has to appear quickly so that I can collect relics and collect heroes to deal with those demons.’
As with all RPG games, nothing is solved just because there is a main character.
You have to collect equipment to deal with the devil, and you have to collect hero characters to support the main character from behind.
If you don’t collect these ingredients well, the game will eventually explode and you will hit the restart button.
‘But I can’t restart?’
King Kyun.
From Kim to King.
However, it was impossible to restart, and it was in a situation of extreme difficulty.
Aigoo.
“It looks like we might be able to visit our kingdom at the temple. They will have a lot of questions about this situation.”
If possible, I don’t want to be involved with the temple.
What’s more, those bastards always act like the cops in a movie who rush in at the very end when the incident is over.
“They will figure it out. Is there anything else I need to know?”
“Nope. Nothing special.”
“Then let me leave the rest to you. I will return.”
“Yes, the lieutenant commander.”
I returned home to rest a little.
“Have you come, great man?”
My butler, Lucas, who has served the Berak family for a long time, greeted me politely along with the ladies-in-waiting.
“How would you like to eat?”
“I will not eat. And if it’s not urgent, don’t look for it.”
“Yes. I will. And the correspondence from the master is put up in the bedroom.”
“i get it.”
I went back to my room, took off my armor, and lay down on the bed.
“Ugh. It hurts.”
Because of this guy’s morbid bravado, I kept my back upright all day, and there was no place where my body wasn’t sore.
“after. Even when I get home, my head hurts the same.”
With the appearance of the Tekina tribe, I feel like my already aching head hurts even more.
“What I need right now is-“
spec up.

Just as I was able to use the instant strength from a distance with the skill swordsman effect, I was thirsty for a new power right now.
“Um- I need to get more jewels and transplant them to this sword.”
I still vividly remember the situation when I defeated Lucian with just my fingers.
At that time, the sword definitely vibrated.
It also vibrated so violently that it felt like it was talking to me.
However, no matter how many times I tried to come back, the tremors from then did not come back.
Not ignoring people.
“We also need a diverse talent pool.”
Now that Elberstein had left to become king, all I had was Horace, Aaron, and at most Nella.
“Write-. It is also a matter of where to find talent.”
Shouldn’t there be at least the ability and talent to protect this body while this game runs to the ending?
“I wish I could have eaten something.”
Is it hunger stress?
I suddenly had a craving for something sweet and my mouth was bored.
I got up to call Lucas to bring him something to eat.
However, among the letters on the table, there was something that caught my eye.
“This······.”
Compared to other envelopes, this is a luxuriously colored letter.
I lifted the golden letter, unsealed it, and opened it.
[We invite Aslan Grand Master to the Charlene Auction.]
“Ah, too. It must have been a Charlene auction.”
The Charlene Auction was an occasional event in the game.
Slaves, artifacts, artwork, jewelry, equipment, and more.
They put various things up for auction and collect large sums of money.
“I don’t think this is bad.”
If you’re lucky, you might be able to buy some good items here.
there,
[Charlene Auction]
– Attend the auction.
-Buy 1 or more auction items.
– You get 5 gold as a reward.
It even gives you quest gold as a bonus.
“You can open a shop just by doing this quest, right?”
This was pheasant eating and egg eating.
“ah. I’m suddenly full.”
I woke up to eat something, but I was suddenly full as if I had eaten too much.
Isn’t it the beauty of an RPG to have fun whenever you have a chance?
I feel so much better now.
By the way,
“master. This is Lucas.”
Lucas, who had told him not to come in unless it was urgent, knocked on the door.
“Wait.”
no. I tried to take a little break.
The morbid bravado rose again, tidying up the tousled hair and straightening the bent back.
“Come in.”
“Yes.”
Lucas cautiously stepped inside.
“What is going on?”
“An urgent scorpion has arrived from the kingdom. Paladins sent by the church are currently on their way to the kingdom.”
“…?”
Cult bastards?
Suddenly, I felt bad again.
* * *
Paladins serve the Church of Rayearth and are loyal to Rahal, whom the Church serves.
The reason why many kingdoms do not oppose the Church is because of Rahal, but also because they cannot ignore the existence of Paladins.
With funds coming in from all over the continent, the church expanded its power and, of course, organized an army in the name of fighting evil.
That group was the Holy Knights.
Their main goal is to destroy evil with divine light, but all players hate them because they do more harm than good.
that’s me too
That’s why I tried my best not to get involved with the religious people.
Because they are more of a hindrance than a help.
“Hmm. I did not expect the Church to act so quickly.”
“There are also paladins, aren’t they? The number reaches 3,000.”
“I just need to send the priest. Why do you even mobilize a paladin?”
The sudden dispatch of the Holy Knights also seemed to be confused by the servants.
If anyone had anything to say, just send a few priests.
Driving even the paladins like this meant that he had some intention.
‘It’s unlikely that the Church has already passed into the hands of the Techina.’
So, is it for show off?
Anyway, the guys who were shiny on the outside.
If you want to punish evil like that, you should have run as fast as lightning as soon as you hear the news that the devil has appeared in the kingdom of Omer.
I don’t know if it’s a good thing to bring these guys into the kingdom, but it’s not like I can’t shut the door, so I accepted it for now.
“You are a great man. The leader of the Order of the Holy Knights of the Church of Rayearth, Loen, is asking to see you.”
Then the thing to come has come.
There’s Rowen.
Even a named character is coming.
“Get inside.”
“Yes.”
As the entrance to the hall opened, Loen and his paladins entered the room with an ironclad sound.
Indeed, as if they were advertising that they were paladins in the neighborhood, the armor was completely white.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Loen, the leader of the Holy Knights of the Holy Reyes Church.”
[Loen]
Power: 90
Intellect: 75
As befits a paladin who serves Rahal and punishes evil in his name, his specs are also excellent.
But even so, Aslan’s bravado did not diminish.
Rather, I spoke as if I were looking down on my opponent.
“What brought you to our kingdom?”
Then, Roen lowered her head slightly and answered.
“This is to convey the church’s will to Grand Commander Aslan.”
Loen spoke in a polite yet slightly overbearing tone.
“The church is conducting an in-depth investigation into the situation that occurred during the battle between Omer Kingdom and Eli Kingdom. Accordingly, I hope that the Grand Master will respond to the church’s summons.”
I frowned.
Church Summon?
‘Of course I can’t go with this.’
It is of no benefit to me.
Aren’t they the ones who didn’t send a paladin even though they knew that the kingdom of Omer was in collusion with the Tekina?
In other words, there is a high possibility that there are those who have already passed over to the Techina tribe inside.
If, in this way, I respond to the summons and step on the threshold of the temple by mistake,
‘It wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime.’
But what if you openly disobey the summons here?
‘There must be a reason why they brought 3,000 Paladins.’
Are you trying to take me by force?
The number of Paladins can be said to be less than our kingdom’s defense force, but the quality was different.
They are an army created by paying money, and they have even removed fear through the brainwashing of Rahal’s faith.
It was said that they were berserkers who were not afraid of all sorts of magic and swords that flew in and charged.
“What if I refuse?”
In response to my question, Loen gave strength and said.
“The will of the Church is absolute. Above all, when it comes to punishing the forces of evil. Are you still refusing to respond to the summons?”
It was then.
The bravado boiling from the danteon reached the top of my head in an instant.
“Did you say absolute?”
Aslan’s bravado reacted passionately to the words, “The will of the church is absolute.”
“You are cheeky.”
My head tilted to the side and I rested my chin on my hand, and my voice became infinitely arrogant.
“How dare you speak to me like that.”
“······Yes?”
For a moment, Rowen raised his head, doubting his ears.
“Is that the only thing that the demons hiding because they are scared of the devil are now here?”
Rowen shouted at my impulsive provocation, seething with bravado.
“We weren’t hiding!”
“no. You have been quietly hiding. I gave you several chances, but you never showed up. He made a lot of noise about punishing the forces of evil, but in the end, he was silent. Am I wrong?”
“…”
“Why should I follow the words of such cowardly cowards?”
When the word “coward” came out, Loen and the paladins behind him reacted violently.
“What a coward!”
“It doesn’t matter!”
“Don’t insult the Order!”
However, there was no way that such words would work for the morbid bravado that once started to heat up.
Rather, it only makes me hotter.
I glared at them and said in a menacing voice.
“Shut up. Who did you dare to open your mouth to?”
At the same time,
Wooo-!!
The sword next to me started to vibrate.
“Me, that!”
Seeing this, the knights gathered in the hall shouted in amazement.
“Geez, Swordsman! It’s a sword name!”
“Unbelievable. A sword name!”
Did they say that only those who saw the tip of the sword could raise the sword?
The vibration of the sword resonated strongly and shook the entire hall.
But I wasn’t even interested in why the sword suddenly vibrated or why it reacted.
“I don’t listen to cowards. so-“
My bluffing eyes only glared at Loen, whose white face was turning pale.
“Everyone get out of sight before my patience runs out.”
The eyes of the Paladins, fearlessly charging towards the enemy without fear of death, were filled with fear.
