Demon King’s Mercy (1)

The imperial army, driven by Elgar’s forces, was pushed to the coastal port and did not come out.

The result of the Prime Minister’s arrogance to occupy the sky offended Elgar.

Chris, who had experienced various fights, had never experienced such a disappointing victory.

However, the income was not very low.

He felt the pattern on his right hand heat up and discovered that his Epic EXP had increased significantly.

The experience bar, which hadn’t changed since leaving the tomb of swords, rose to nearly half in an instant.

[Epic experience has increased thanks to witnessing a very high-level fight.]

No matter how much I killed the players on the Imperial Army side, it was useless, but it seems that witnessing the fight between the Sword King and the Singer King and Elgar’s forces was a great learning.

While the Allies, who barely survived, hurriedly cleared the battlefield, King Ga with a lute approached them.

Elom, the unit’s commander, quickly steps forward to thank him.

“Gawang-nim! You have really helped our allies.”

“It was this body that formed the allied army in the first place, but what… Besides, I ended up being nothing but a folding screen.”

Tyrone shakes his head as he reproaches himself for not being able to block the Imperial planes.

“If it wasn’t for King Gawang, all of our troops would have fled?”

“what… Not really. Looking at it, it looks like you must have run away first.”

Tyrone laughs awkwardly at the singer’s sharp point.

When he saw the bards running towards him, he quickly left his seat and greeted them.

“It’s a bit annoying when they catch me… Then I’ll go. Please continue to tip our kids generously.”

The King of Singers disappeared in the blink of an eye just like when he appeared. Chris, who was about to ask him a question, licks his lips.

He knew a lot and liked stories, so he seemed to be able to answer his questions.

Illesis, who was observing his complexion from the side, asked quietly.

“what’s the matter? Was there anything you wanted to ask?”

“I was worried about what the Sword King said earlier.”

He pointed to Chris’s Blade of Grief and called it a ‘crude imitation’.

Illesis belatedly recalled that and nodded.

“Certainly, his Epic items looked different.”

“yes? Maybe the epic items we have are replicas of original treasures.”

The phoenix’s magic bow, the blade of sorrow, and so on.

Epic items are very unique and powerful, but there are many of the same type.

Chris was a little suspicious of that from before.

However, if you consider that they are all replicas, it makes sense to some extent.

Elrom, who has been listening to them from the sidelines, gives a slightly skeptical response.

“Who would dare to reproduce such objects?”

“I don’t know. There is no point in thinking about it right now.”

Chris responded blandly and started to go back to Basilonia on top of the ghost horse.

The plains defended by the allied forces were littered with wreckage of planes shot down by gargoyles. Frederick, who sent a reconnaissance party to confirm the withdrawal of the Imperial army, returned everyone except for the bare minimum of troops.

Although the loss of the Imperial army was only about 20% of the total, valuable players were swept away, and expensive new weapons were all destroyed.

This time, Elgar had hit her hard, so for the time being, she wouldn’t be able to even try to manufacture airplanes.

Of course, since the gold king had the financial power, he couldn’t be vigilant, but he seemed to be able to put his mind at ease right now.

The allied forces, which won an unexpectedly easy victory, held a party to commemorate the victory as well as a non-professional performance.

However, Chris, who was able to put his name on the side of Frederick and Elrom, got out of the castle only after getting paid as a mercenary.

Elom, who secretly met them, grabbed him with a very sorry expression.

“Why are you leaving so early? I’m afraid the people of my kingdom will do something stupid… … .”

“There is nothing that the general of the kingdom cannot do. It’s not like that, so don’t worry.”

If you stay here now, it’s obvious that nobles from other countries will be annoying.

But Chris wasn’t leaving early because he was worried about that.

This war came as a great shock to him.

I thought I was ahead of others by unlocking and using the secrets of the status window, but in fact I was far behind.

Watching the fight between the Sword King and the Singer, he couldn’t help but think that way.

Even his target, the Prime Minister, is supported by the King of Gold.

‘If you want to kill the prime minister, you must have at least six king-level skills.’

Even if it is not the sword king, you need to have the power and influence of the singer to aim for the prime minister, the heart of the empire. That was the conclusion reached this time.

So he had no time to enjoy a victory that was not his own.

Eventually, Chris shook hands with Elom and left Basilonia.

“Until the next time I see you, take over the position of the old man.”

“Thank you every time. Please take care of yourself.”

Illesis quietly followed him, unable to hide her slight tiredness.

Tyrone, on the other hand, muttered openly in a weak voice.

“I participated in the battle to catch the prime minister, but it ended in a fuss… … .”

“I can’t help it. But it’s okay because I fully realized my shortcomings.”

In fact, even Chris didn’t expect to be prime minister right now.

I had to become stronger anyway, so it’s fortunate that I properly weighed my opponent and myself.

asked Tyrone, turning his head from his horse.

“So, where are you going now?”

“I don’t know.”

“what?”

Tyrone seemed to be blown away by the plain answer.

Chris shared his thoughts with him and Elesis.

“At first, I thought I was going to build up magic by catching easy guys, but I don’t think that’s a good thing.”

The secret art of sucking and the power of preying definitely grows the user.

However, simply increasing the amount of mana did not mean much to him.

If he had the same amount of magical power as the Sword King, would he have been able to defeat him?

no.

The answer comes without thinking too deeply.

What he needed now wasn’t just magic power.

In order to compete with the strong men of the Six Kings level, you need a level of skill that is incomparable to the present.

They are not opponents who can be defeated with tricks or tricks like the opponents you have met so far.

‘Like when I fought the head of the Black Flag, I need to be able to use buff stacking freely.’

There is also a way to borrow the power of Argal, but that is too uncomfortable.

Epic experience is not only difficult to purposely accumulate, but the rewards have not yet been properly identified.

In the end, after thinking about it, Chris decided on a future course.

“First of all, I’ll have to go looking for the famous strongmen and fight them wherever I can. At the same time, I learned the skills of the status window in my spare time… … .”

“Now they are openly going to look for a place.”

“Yeah, that sounds too risky.”

Not only Tyrone, but Illesis also dissuaded Chris.

But he couldn’t think of any other way.

Even if you train leisurely in the mountains, it is difficult to see great results without a proper teacher.

The ghost horse, as if not liking his idea, wept in displeasure, and then abruptly deviated from its course and began to enter the woods. Chris quickly grabs the reins and shakes them, but he doesn’t budge.

The horse Tyrone was riding followed him even though he was very flustered.

The place where the ghost horse suddenly started running was on the middle of a steep and deep mountain.

Chris, who has now caught on, sighs, and the army of the dead begins to be seen through the grass. Tyrone, who clearly remembered the tragedy they caused, couldn’t even groan as if his tongue had hardened.

“Yes, thanks to Elgar-sama, I saved my life, so I should say hello.”

Chris spits out as he gets off his horse, and Elesis follows.

He urged Tyrone to remain still, and then, with the ladies-in-waiting’s permission, went inside the antique carriage.

Seeing Elgar for the first time in a while, he seemed to be in a worse mood than usual, and he hadn’t tasted the wine he had enjoyed so much.

“You came early. Did you enjoy playing war? What if it ended badly because I intervened?”

“No, I survived thanks to Elgar-sama’s help.”

Elgar’s expression softened slightly at Chris’ sincere reply.

She greets Elesis next to her with a glance and sits him on a chair that looks like an operating table.

Soon after, the ladies-in-waiting took off Chris’ top, revealing his well-trained chest.

While Illesis blushed at the sight of it, the witch ripped through his chest with a ruthless hand. Then, the secret magic of absorption imprinted on Chris’ body is adjusted according to the developer’s intention.

The witch explained in a proud voice without stopping her hands.

“I made it much more advanced than before by referring to the predation power you acquired or something.”

“Go, thank you. But I have something to report on that side… … .”

“what?”

As soon as Elgar’s procedure was over, Chris raised his right hand.

Elgar, who was carefully examining the right hand with the symbol of the bust, puts on an expression that is very interesting but also hurts his pride.

“This… Are you adding additional functions to your powers?”

“It seems so. It’s only about half finished.”

After hearing Chris’ explanation, Elgar had no choice but to revise his evaluation of the status window.

Like the Predatory Power I saw before, as well as the additional feature this time.

The status window, which she had looked down on, seemed to be a better item than I thought.

Originally, the status window was convenient, but it was a power with clear limits. Chris, who had actually mastered the magic of sucking, was able to deal with players alone even when he couldn’t retrieve the status window.

However, the status window she knew was a trivial unfinished product.

Now that I saw it, the status window was far superior to the magic absorption magic she had developed.

An authority that allows one to learn not only magic and vitality, but also sophisticated skills.

Even this is not the end yet.

Even though she felt her self-esteem hurt, she struggled to maintain her composure.

“This is an interesting feature. I’ll have to take a look at this too. so what are you going to do next? I don’t think Breton’s Prime Minister will be leaving the island for a while?”

“I plan to fight by looking for strong players from all over the world. I don’t think it would be enough to simply build up mana.”

When Chris responded cautiously, Elgar slightly frowned.

Chris had risen to a level where simply increasing the amount of mana would not be effective.

However, it was hard to see that finding strong enemies and attacking them recklessly was a good way.

She twists Chris’ words, as if the judges were twisted.

“Oh yeah. It’s a perfect training method to die on the road. I gave you an improved mystic as a gift, but it would be really refreshing to see you die like that.”

“Hey, is it any good?”

When Chris responded embarrassingly, Elesis, who was next to him, nodded as if to look at it.

After thinking about it for a while, Elgar calls a lady-in-waiting and sends her outside.

Following her order, the handmaiden brought in a death knight shortly after.

Chris and Illesis were very nervous when they saw the knight in the carriage. The knight emitting demonic energy from the eye sockets of his armor was the man who led Elgar’s army and defeated the Imperial Army.

He doesn’t even look at Chris and the others and kneels in front of Elgar.

“Did you call?”

“You will train Chris for a while.”

“All right.”

The death knight bowed his head and obeyed without hesitation.

The answer was so neat and quick that Chris, who was watching it, was slightly amazed.

As you can see, I thought maybe I should affirm it first and then think about it.

When Elgar, who gave the order to the death knight, smiles lightly at Chris, he quickly expresses his gratitude.

“I thought you would do this… thank you.”

“Gearic is the best among my more than a thousand limbs. So your teacher won’t be enough. Then I want to see you too.”

When Elgar sat Illesis on the operating table, Chris hurriedly greeted her and left the carriage.

The death knight, Gearic, followed him and headed towards the clearing on the other side with heavy footsteps.

Chris quickly chased after him, but he could hardly adjust to his unexpected good fortune.

Even so, the knight in front of him pushed the two guardians of the king and the mighty men of the imperial army with ease.

From Chris’ point of view, his skills were not much different from those of the Six Kings.

Soon after arriving at the clearing, Gearrick drew out his longsword without even exchanging a proper greeting.

His sword, clearly a famous magic weapon, radiated a chill that could be felt even from a distance.

A shield hung behind his back, but he didn’t seem to want to use it yet.

Chris quickly drew his longsword and raised his shield to prepare for his attack.

Gearic, who waited for him to finish his preparations, stabbed him relentlessly with a sharp longsword at the fore.
