The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 200

Chapter 200

The anomaly was detected immediately.

“He is a violent person!”

“Break the head or the heart!”

As Fisher and the 10 knights’ upper bodies began to swell, the surrounding First Knights immediately responded.

Wedge! Whirling!

Various weapons with mana blades flew towards the heads and hearts of the robbers who had begun to change.

But…

Chang! Teudong!

“We’re on the same side! “Don’t attack!”

Even as their bodies swelled, the thugs, eager for survival, brandished their weapons to block the attacks.

Even if they are rotten, they are experts at intermediate level or higher.

He did not give up a vital position easily.

Not only that, but the body parts that swelled due to the surge of mana became hard enough to be compared to power armor and even withstood the mana blade.

“Are we all going to die together? “You traitors!”

“So, please open the barrier instead! Or we will all die together!”

The human psychology was so strange.

Even when they saw the tattooed people exploding, they did not take refuge inside the barrier.

Perhaps they thought they were different.

They say they are different from those who become bombs without knowing anything because they are already in the same boat.

But now that they have become victims, what kind of mindset is it to claim innocence?

Of course, it was impossible to let them into the barrier.

However, if things continued like this, it was clear that not only the people around them but also the barrier would be caught in the explosion.

The First Knights commanders strengthened their resolve and shouted.

“Common knights, get out of the vicinity of the barrier! Armor users deploy a double melee defense in front of the barrier! “I will take the lead.”

While the commanders risked death and built a new phalanx to protect the barrier, the rioters were reaching the critical point of explosion.

“no! I can’t die like this! Move! Get out of the way!”

The sight of his body swollen like a balloon and swinging his weapon with clenched teeth looked pathetic.

However, the armor users in front of the barrier are steadfast.

It was the same for Ken.

“Kaylee! “I will curse you in hell!”

Fisher, who was pushed back by her spear despite running wild, opened his bloodshot eyes and screamed.

Ken was pouring mana into the spear with all his might to block the aftermath of the impending explosion.

‘There is no guarantee that we will be able to block it…’

Still, we could not break our promise to the Master to protect the barrier.

And finally, the explosion came before our eyes.

Perhaps because of a special device, the explosion took less than 20 seconds.

Faaah!

White and red light spread out from the bodies of the rioters.

Pubbung! Kugwagwagwagwang!

A huge explosion erupted, and a huge vibration and mana storm swept through the stadium.

* * *

Hwaaaah.

Intense heat rushed into my lungs.

Ken, who reflexively closed his eyes against the intense light, stopped the window screen he had created with all his might.

Whiuuung.

When the frantically rotating pole stopped, stone dust flew up in the headwind.

‘Did you stop it?’

It seemed as if my senses were momentarily paralyzed by the mana frenzy, and I couldn’t understand the situation.

But soon she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

There was clearly a huge explosion, but there was no trace of the explosion in front of me.

Where Fisher was standing, there was a corrupt wizard sitting on the floor.

“Huh, what, how… Huh!”

The imperial wizard who made eye contact with Ken reflexively held out his wand and cast a spell, but Ken moved faster.

Push.

Her spear pierced the wizard’s heart without hesitation.

dump.

The wizard’s eyes widened and he fell to the floor.

‘How did this happen?’

At that time Ken was confused.

“Now! Power attack! Wipe out the dogs of the empire!”

Raoul’s loud shout swept the battlefield.

“Golden Bear Knights charge!”

“First Knight Strike Team, follow behind!”

“Don’t leave a single one alive!”

The knight commanders and chief knights led the knights and began to push back the enemies.

Only then did the stadium come into view through the settled dust cloud.

‘oh my god.’

The bombers exploded not near the barrier where Ken was, but behind the stand where the imperial troops were gathered.

* * *

‘The effect is perfect.’

Raoul smiled slightly as he looked at the destructive scene he had created.

The embattled empire didn’t have many options available to them.

Of course, I expected to target the barrier, which was the weak point of this side, and I just used the move I had prepared in advance.

Raoul glanced down at the necklace he was wearing.

[Song of the Three Souls].

This unique S-rank necklace is an artifact that stores three types of superpowers in advance and can be used when desired.

One of the three beads on the necklace had lost its shine.

‘Isn’t [Change (B)] quite useful?’

Just before Fisher and other rioters exploded, Raoul used the [Switch (B)] technique, a supernatural power stored in his necklace.

Originally, it was a technique to exchange an object that one touched directly or oneself with another object that was far away.

However, when combined with telekinesis, it could be used as an extremely useful technique to change the positions of two objects at a distance.

As a result, the bombers were replaced with imperial wizards near the enemy’s base, and the explosion occurred near the enemy’s base, not near the barrier.

‘hmm. ‘I don’t know if you liked the gift.’

Raoul took one look at the ruined stand, raised his sword, and launched himself towards the battlefield.

* * *

Phew.

“…cough.”

Dark red blood flowed from No. 3’s mouth.

When he lowered his head slightly, he saw someone’s arm digging into his chest.

‘How is this possible?’

No. 3’s body was already integrated with the power armor.

The escape route was completely blocked, and the explosion at the main camp wiped out the remaining wizards and elite knights.

Now that escape is impossible, all that’s left is to make more enemies your companions.

In the end, he activated the ‘Emperor’s Seal’, a seal given only to special people, and even mobilized [Black Sacrifice].

He was confident that in this state, no one would be able to stop him, at least until the Master appeared.

Isn’t it a natural result that an expert top-level knight receives at least a level 2 buff, combines it with power armor, and even burns the flame of life?

‘But what does this guy mean…?’

The runaway self, No. 5, and No. 9 were not only able to withstand the combined efforts of about 10 of their top expert knights, but were even pushing them back.

His body was an extremely strong shield that could not even be scratched unless it was attacked by an Auror or higher, and the Auror blade that traded for his life was burning in his weapon.

Even though it was the last flame that would go out in ten minutes, they tried to decorate the finale with a lot of splendor.

“You are too dangerous to be left alive. “Those two alone will be enough information.”

The blonde kid, whose helmet disappeared and his face revealed, opened his mouth.

Perhaps the momentum just now was an illusion, but what I felt now was nothing more than an ordinary top-level expert.

“…Grrrrrrr? (How on earth?)”

No human voice came out of his vocal cords, which had turned into a monster.

But Raoul asked back if he understood that.

“Are you curious? “How did I take down you three in 30 seconds?”

Number 3 nodded without realizing it.

The blood, now thick, was sliding down my chin.

“That’s… go to hell and find out.”

Pow!

The memories of No. 3 ended there.

Because there was no way a human who had lost his head could think.

Whilick.

Raoul shook his fist and shook the blood off his hand.

‘Wow, that was close.’

No. 3, who went on a rampage, was a talent on a different level from the existing brass masks.

Numbers 5 and 9 may be difficult to handle, but they are still within the expert category.

However, Lee No. 3 showed ‘master’ level skills.

Even though it was the final suicide bomber, its weight felt heavy.

‘How many more of these guys are left?’

To be honest, No. 3’s runaway exceeded Raoul’s expectations.

When I dealt with the Imperial Hound in my past life, I rarely cornered the executives (the mask wearers).

Even when the hideout was subdued or the enemies were defeated, the executives left the battlefield like ghosts.

Fortunately, I have dealt with quite a few executives in this life, but this was my first time directly dealing with a high-ranking executive who went berserk.

‘If it wasn’t for Regnator, there would have been casualties.’

Raoul’s power armor Regnator’s special function [Condemnation].

Thanks to the function that increases the power by 200% against those who use dark magic and the ‘awakening’ effect that can be activated for only 30 seconds, I was able to deal with them somehow.

But I might have to be more careful in the future.

At least the person dealt with today was not the leader of the Imperial Hounds.

Anyway, this ended the battle inside the stadium.

It is said that there are still enemies outside the stadium, but they are just small things, so it will not be difficult to take them out.

Since the enemy’s main force was almost completely annihilated, it was clear that the Imperial Hound’s activities would also be reduced for the time being.

* * *

It took a week to get the situation even roughly under control.

Thanks to Raoul’s barrier, there were not many civilian casualties, except for the victims of the initial explosion.

Most of the congratulatory envoys were safe, so it seemed that the marquis would not suffer any diplomatic damage.

However, due to this incident, the marquis suffered a great loss.

At least close to 100 knights were killed in the explosion and battle.

Additionally, those who received tattoos (emperor’s imprint) were isolated and investigated separately, and the number reached 150 in the article alone.

The problem was that there was no way to reliably remove the imprint yet.

So, even after the investigation was over, they had no choice but to continue living in quarantine for the time being.

The work at Marquis immediately spread throughout the kingdom.

Thanks to this, tattooing, which was popular in secret, disappeared.

However, it was not easy to find people who had already undergone the procedure.

Not only was it not visible on the outside unless the tattoo was activated, but there was no way to immediately remove it, so everyone kept quiet and hid their identity.

‘Power gained easily will come back as poison.’

The complacent thought that something like that could possibly happen to me will one day hold them back.

And although it may slow down for now, over time, the number of people looking for tattoos will increase again.

The temptation of power that can be obtained easily and quickly was like a drug.

‘And the same goes for the players.’

Although it hasn’t been caught on Raoul’s radar yet, the Empire’s demons will one day turn towards the players as well.

If that happens…

knock knock.

“Your Excellency Viscount Raoul has come to visit.”

“Ask them to come in.”

As I entered the office through the door opened by the guard, I saw the emaciated Marquis sitting at his desk working behind a mountain of documents.

Click.

The Marquis put down his pen, sighed, got up from his seat, and approached Raoul.

“Are you here? I was out of my mind, so I couldn’t treat my family’s benefactor properly. “I apologize.”

“no. An imperial raid is an attack, but how great is the sense of loss? “I would like to convey my condolences once again.”

It was not only those in the stadium who were affected during this attack.

Not only did the Marquis’s eldest son, Travis, die in an explosion in the magic circle management office, but his wife and second son were also found dead somewhere in the castle.

Raoul personally thought that it was Fischer’s doing, but it was the Marquis’ responsibility to investigate and clean up the matter.

“Whoa, okay. It’s heartbreaking to say that even ugly children are children. “Thank you for comforting me.”

Afterwards, Raoul talked with the Marquis about several issues.

About the alliance between the Marquess of Greer and Viscount Raoul, Earl of Ashton.

He said he would seek advice from ‘Sage Gray’ to resolve the stigma of the Empire.

And it was about the marquis’s lost spear skills.

“…It’s late, but I’ll give it back to you.”

Raoul handed the Marquis a textbook that described the Marquis’ spear techniques obtained from Zeinak’s dungeon.

The Marquis stared at the textbook in silence for a while with an indecipherable expression on his face.

“For the time being, Sir Ken will remain at Marquis and personally teach you spearmanship. “I hope this will help the Marquis’ reconstruction.”

Slurp.

The Marquis slowly stood up, put his fist to his chest, bowed his head, and said.

“Marquis Greer will never forget this favor. Please remember that no matter what happens to you and the Earl of Ashton in the future, Marquis Greer will be with you.”

Raoul hurriedly stood up and bowed his head.

In this way, Raoul was able to gain another strong ally.
