The Genius Blacksmith's Game
Magic Swordsman
[The Country of Hyun is announcing victory as it has repelled over 70% of the Parion Empire forces.]
[The Pharion Empire is announcing its defeat after suffering significant troop losses.]
[The death of Count Olio, the Archmage of the Parion Empire, comes as a massive shock to the mages of the Parion Empire.]
The death of Count Ken of the Pharion Empire comes as a massive shock to the zombie sorcerer and the people of his territory.
[The death of Roy, the Great Sword Emperor and Count of the Farian Empire… …]
[The death of Count Poshua, the Siege King of the Farian Empire… …]
As the news spread, the whole world was in shock.
Just a few years ago, the country of Hyun was nothing more than an insignificant place compared to the Parian Empire.
no…….
Hasn't it been that long since it went from a territory into a kingdom? So how is it that it is already…
In fact, it has only been a few years since it became a kingdom.
At the time this war broke out, 99% of the users belonging to the Parian Empire voted that the country of the prefecture would suffer irreparable damage due to this war.
It wasn't exactly a voting result worth criticizing.
This is because it was not just the opinion of the users of the Parion Empire, but the opinion of a great many people.
And that thought was not something only ordinary people had.
'The Tyrant's Laboratory,' overflowing with millions of chimera materials.
In that place where the stench is overwhelming, blood is splattered everywhere, and things like the arms and legs of some creature are lying around, Kavel is assembling chimeras.
Tyrant Zebar was now pouring all his essence into teaching Kabel.
It also provides support with the countless materials that have been collected over time.
Moreover, the tyrant's coat he is wearing.
No matter how much blood splattered, no bloodstains remained.
It shows that he has completely infiltrated the side of the tyrant Djebar.
Suddenly, Kabel, who was connecting the chimeras, stopped.
I have to go… I need to reduce the number of enemy commanders… and provide them with the methods and information to respond.
Cavell also knew that the war was in progress.
I spoke with the tyrant Zebar, and he said that the country of the prefecture might suffer irreparable damage this time.
however…….
“……Hyunsu is a really interesting fellow. Using the dwarves to build a fortress and defeat the five counts…….”
“……Do you mean all of them?”
"okay."
Cavell was in shock.
No matter how hard he racks his brain, he sees no chance of winning.
“……One who can receive help from the Dwarf King…….”
Zebar's eyes deepened.
He seemed just as shocked as anyone else.
And Cavell was lost in thought, unable to tell just how far he was growing.
at that time.
Thump-
Zebar hit his shoulder with a staff.
“……Are you going to lose?”
We will win.
“Are you going to back down?”
They will rush at me.
“What are you going to do about it?”
I will devote myself even more to training.
"how?"
Even if it means spitting up blood.
That is the reason I chose you.
“…….”
“Hyun is a brilliant general who walks the path of a virtuous ruler. The reason he was able to win lies in the ‘people.’ He is the opposite of you. You will have to fight alone. However, you will be able to accomplish anything on your own. So stop your foolish thoughts and just finish what you were doing.”
"……yes."
Zebar is moving away.
Cavell looked at the two chimeras he had completed.
The sketch that was destroyed by Hyunsu's 'Success Destroyer' in the past.
[Transcendent Chimera. Rough sketch.]
The newly created chimera.
[Transcendent Chimera. Overlord.]
Even another chimera being completed.
I, too, am constantly rising. Hyun-su.
Rather, the presence of Hyun-soo was helping Kavel grow even more.
And the surprise caused by Hyun-soo was striking even the Imperial Palace of the Parion Empire.
***
Parian Empire Imperial City
The citizens and nobles of the imperial city were experiencing something they had never experienced before.
Many people are hurriedly going in and out of the imperial city.
Scenes of urgency, with everyone gasping for breath, are unfolding everywhere.
Prime Minister Ananti running with a pale face.
Scenes such as Duke Pralo running.
It was a sight sufficient to instill immense anxiety.
And Lebanon, the commander-in-chief of this battle, also headed to the audience chamber.
Audience chamber.
Emperor Volond kicked out everyone who had visited.
Volond.
He is an emperor leading the era.
I am not as strong as Overlord Baroque.
Can't you create a one-man army like the tyrant Zebar?
He is a figure who rose to that position by building the greatest empire.
Even he had people he cherished.
That was the case with the great sorcerer Olio, who gave advice, and Roy, the teacher who taught him swordsmanship in his childhood.
Count Ken and Fors, who tried to hide their ugliness in a distant frontier, did just that.
That was the case with the Bandit King Abok, whom I had heard stories about for a long time but had never seen.
“How could you leave me behind and go first…?”
Everyone was cast out, but only Lebanon, the commander of this war, remained.
All of this was unexpected for Lebanon as well.
He believed it was the sword he intended to wield, but it was not a sword he could control.
“How could you leave in such vain…! How much I cherished you all…”
Volond is sad.
Lebanon, who was listening to him, said.
“Is it true that you cherished it, Your Majesty?”
Volond's face contorted.
At this moment of sorrow, what is in the voice of Lebanon is rebuke.
“……Hasn’t it been more than ten years since you met Lord Roy, the Great Emperor of the Sword? Didn’t you never once meet Abok, who has been loyal to Your Majesty your entire life, acting on the advice of Chancellor Ananti? Do you know what Abok’s dream was? It was simply to have a meal with Your Majesty at the Imperial Palace just once.”
The strong man Abok has lived his entire life for him.
Abandoning everything.
“I said I did not want to be a bandit. However, it was Parion who rejected him, and it was we who oppressed and exploited him. It is Your Majesty who ordered that the Sword Emperor Roy not come to the Imperial City as his influence grew immense.”
“Is it not Your Majesty who did not show your face even once when Archmage Olio led tens of thousands of mages to submit an appeal? How on earth could you have cherished him? Is it truly true that you cherished him?”
Volond's face contorts with rage and then fades away.
I have no right to say that I cared for them.
on the other way.
“…The reason for my defeat is not King Hyun-su, but the subjects who fought for him.”
Lebanon announced that Bolond and Hyunsu are completely different.
“……I will take my leave now. I will gladly accept the punishment you impose.”
Bolond watched Lebanon's retreating figure.
Only then did Volond regret it.
However, even if I regretted it, it could no longer be turned back.
And Volond did not hold Lebanon accountable for any crime.
[The war between the Pharion Empire and the Kingdom of the Hyeon is partially concluded.]
[A retreat order is issued to a significant number of the Parian Empire forces.]
Even the country of Hyun has territories located on the frontier.
Oth territory.
This Os territory, which is only half the size of a normal estate, did not have many troops, nor did it have that many inhabitants.
However, even in a small territory, at least 10,000 people live there.
and…….
At the time when war broke out in the Parion Empire, quests of various types were issued to a truly diverse range of users.
As a result, countless users of the Parion Empire invaded the Oth territory.
It is surprising that a significant number of those users were mostly 'Japanese'.
Why did Japanese users invade Osu! territory in particularly large numbers?
It was because of one reason.
Ghost Slash.
A bloodthirsty attack capable of cutting down even ghosts sliced through the Japanese users who refused to flee despite the retreat order.
Musashi was there.
The Japanese archipelago calls one user a traitor.
It is Musashi.
Musashi.
He is the most beloved and popular user in Japan.
That Musashi moved to the country of the prefecture and stood by his side.
That alone engulfed the Japanese people in massive anger.
Such is Musashi and the 'Warriors,' who are guild members belonging to the country of the prefecture, treated as the legion he leads.
Everyone follows Musashi to protect this place.
However, hundreds of Japanese people were coming every day, shouting, "Follow the head of the traitor."
It is the same today.
Crunch, crunch-!
A significant number of Musashi's subordinates died.
Even at this time, Japanese users continued to pressure Musashi.
“A disgrace to Japan!”
"Japanese traitor!"
“Damn Musashi!”
“You must be banished!”
Those who come here shouting like that are nothing more than 'extremists'.
In reality, there aren't that many Japanese people who criticize Musashi.
However, Japan's population exceeds 100 million, and even that tiny minority amounts to over a million.
Even if you only catch the strong players among the users playing the game, it is an enormous number.
And Musashi was surprised as he fended them off.
You have written down another amazing thing.
Hyun-soo led the war to victory. Conversely, he continues to fight a difficult battle.
However, I couldn't let go of the Japanese sword.
This is because if he dies, the territory of Os will turn into a sea of fire.
“You monster bastard…….”
In fact, the number of people Musashi cut down was enormous.
Leaving aside whether he is a disgrace or a traitor, his skills must be acknowledged.
However.
[The Warrior's Killing Intent.]
A user appeared with a Japanese sword at their waist.
The moment the user dressed as a samurai appeared, a massive surrender device pressured Musashi.
The fact that they performed a surrender means that the user is a legend.
[The Legendary Warrior, Kenji.]
Musashi has left, and now the samurai Kenji has filled the vacancy.
He surpassed Musashi by becoming a legend faster than him.
He appeared with his guild, the Black Night Corps.
The 100 or so members of the Black Night Corps were high-level users and are currently the most popular in Japan.
Kenji spoke up as he watched Musashi staggering during his surrender.
“……Your king conquered the world.”
A compliment all of a sudden?
I understand that Hyeji has opened a path forward by serving as the Grand Palace of the Evil Slayer.
“Risel is soaring while endlessly gathering dragons…….”
Chancellor Nell holds all power in the country of Hyun.
But you couldn't even reach the legendary level and were taken away by me.
Musashi's face turned red.
He was the only one treading water like this.
When they achieve amazing feats, I cannot achieve them myself.
Kenji was the first to take the title of legendary warrior.
When they shone brightly, I could not shine.
They announced victory, but I must announce defeat.
Cruelly, Kenji touched Musashi's weak point.
“I also realized that you tried to overcome your limitations by learning magic and walking the path of a magic swordsman, but you failed. Because of that, you wasted time and fell behind.”
Yes, he failed.
Being a magic swordsman.
I ended up like this chasing an impossible dream.
“Pathetic and useless, with nowhere to go but down. You have nothing left.”
He had no power to stop them, and his words were entirely true.
Musashi was in despair.
That's true. I couldn't do anything.
He was not as unrivaled as Hyunsu, could not shoot the Great Bow of Evil like Hyeji, and could not gather dragons like Risel.
A tremendous sense of self-loathing torments him.
[The god who likes to make denies him.]
"… … That's nonsense, Musashi. Thanks to you protecting the Osu territory for two weeks, I was able to win without any worries."
A voice is heard by him.
So just ignore that nonsense. And thank you. Thank you for staying by my side even though I lost the legendary warrior, for not resenting me, and for continuing to fight. I mean everything.
It is nothing more than mere consolation. Nothing changes even if you comfort a loser.
However… … .
"You failed to become a Magic Swordsman? Nonsense. You have me, so if you failed to become a Magic Swordsman…
A carrier pigeon flew in.
[The gift sent by Hyunsu is arriving.]
[Transcendental Grade. Archmage Olio's… … ]
[Legendary Grade… … ]
[7th Class Magic Book.]
I'll make it for you.
