§ 144. Crown of the Holy Emperor (6)
Although he casually told Seonghwang that he had stopped by for a moment because he remembered him, in reality, Seongjin had a different reason for popping his head into the main palace.
It was around that time that Cadmus, who had newly obtained the body of Seo Yi-seo, was shaking off all the priests and moving towards the main palace with great momentum.
Seongjin, Masain, and Leader Bruno, who were heading to the training ground for morning training, detected an unusual presence heading toward the imperial palace almost at the same time.
It was a strong storm-like force that did not hide its presence in the slightest.
“Come to think of it, emergency action instructions were issued to the entire Royal Guard in the morning.”
Masain said after staring in the direction of the main palace for a moment.
“Instead of stopping the guard of the main palace, the Royal Guard will block all roads leading to the main palace and be on emergency alert. “I didn’t pay much attention to it because it didn’t apply to the resident knights of Jinju Palace, but it looks like something happened to the main palace.”
“… … ?”
His expression was so calm as he said that, that for a moment Seongjin was dumbfounded.
Hey, Lord Masaine? If something happens to the main palace, shouldn’t the Royal Guard prioritize the security of the main palace until the end? Even though there was such an order, why don’t they pay any attention?
“I don’t know who he is, but he is a great powerhouse. It can’t even be compared to Balthazar. Your Majesty, this is the first time I have seen such great energy. “Who on earth is that?”
“… … ?!”
Even Director Bruno said that with a carefree expression.
No, leader? This is the first time we have seen such a powerful force since the prosperity? A guy like that is running towards the main palace, so why is there no tension in everyone?
“Well, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is in the main palace, right?”
“Isn’t there a reason why Your Majesty deliberately set boundaries?”
Ah, that was wrong. These people are all bad.
‘Am I the only one here worrying about that guy?’
Seongjin’s head felt dizzy.
Wow, that’s strange? I’m sure I’m normal, so why do I feel like I’m overreacting?
“I think we need to recheck Jinju Palace’s security posture in case of an emergency. “Please postpone your training for a while and return to your room.”
Masain was strangely worried about the state of the Pearl Palace, and left today to find Sir Maria, the head of security.
“This is Arenja’s message. They say the Knights of St. Terbachia are coming this way right now. I will join them, and it would be best for you to follow Sir Martha’s instructions and not leave the palace for the time being.”
Director Bruno also frowned and channeled, then suddenly disappeared toward the front door.
“… … .”
When Seongjin, who was suddenly left behind, looked back, Sir Haven, who was in charge of today’s escort mission, was smiling brightly with an idiotic face.
“Are you going in, sir? “Everyone else is busy with emergency alerts, but I’m the only one working as an indoor escort. It’s really sweet, isn’t it?”
… you man Say that now.
Anyway, once Seongjin calmly returned to the room, he deployed his Aura concealment as soon as the door closed and headed to the terrace.
Of course, Lord Haven outside the door didn’t notice at all. Recently, Seongjin’s concealment technology has increased dramatically, so unless you are a knight of a certain level, it will be difficult to detect his presence.
Seongjin safely escaped through the back gate of Jinju Palace and immediately started running towards the main palace.
[Why are you in such a hurry? No matter what happens, your father will figure it out.]
The Demon King asked curiously.
Of course, Seongjin couldn’t even imagine the picture of that nobleman being in danger.
‘This isn’t a matter of whether it’s okay or not, right?’
Think about it, devil.
Something is happening right in front of your eyes, but does it make sense to leave someone there alone like that? No matter how much you think it’s okay.
In the old days, my parents always said this.
He knew that I would overcome the hardships that came in life on my own, but he said he would never leave me alone.
[…] your parents? They said that?]
Yes, you enemy of your parents.
you are a bitch You should be lucky that you got away with beating me up for three days.
[…] … .]
And the closer Seongjin got to the main palace, the more he realized that what was happening in the palace was more unusual than he thought.
[Huh? Is there a huge sacred barrier over there?]
According to what the demon lord said, a huge barrier was unfolding in the Silver Rose Labyrinth.
Coooooo!
In the main palace, the building was shaking from the force of the collision, as if the two sides had already entered into a fight. It’s such a shock that I’m worried that the main palace might suddenly collapse.
Above all, go to Auror.
The flow of auras surrounding the main palace and becoming increasingly stronger was strangely agitated.
‘Is this guy feeling uncomfortable right now?’
To the extent that Seongjin inadvertently thought so, the flow was quite different from the well-organized aura that usually hovered around Seonghwang.
furthermore.
[What is this again? Seongjin Lee. I feel a strange power somewhere inside me? It feels somewhat unclean to be considered divine power, and it is too sacred to be considered magical power. It’s my first time feeling this in this dimension, so I’m somewhat confused.]
As even the demon lord said that, the feeling of uneasiness grew.
Uji string.
Seongjin, who was looking at the garden trees being uprooted and blown away by the strong wind, made a decision.
‘No matter what, I have to go and stop it first.’
[What? Are you crazy? Are you going in there?]
stop! die! I’m really dying!
The demon lord roared in his head, but Seongjin didn’t even pretend to listen and just checked the aurors in his body. For some reason, I had a strong feeling that we shouldn’t let things collide like that.
The numerous turbulent currents created by the collision of powerful swirling forces were literally no different from invisible blades spinning at will.
No matter how much I was new to Seongjin, I couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat when I tried to jump into it.
‘… Let’s shed as much as we can.’
It only took a moment for me to strengthen my resolve, and I hadn’t even reached the stairs leading to the second floor, and I was already crying and the taste of blood rising from my throat.
A silent roar rang in my ears and I felt as if the blood vessels in my body were being torn apart by the harsh force that was violently shaking my whole body.
If your aorta ruptures or you have a brain hemorrhage, it’s all over!

Seongjin hurriedly focused his aura as much as possible on his head and heart, then gritted his teeth and took one step forward.
Patter.
Before I knew it, fresh blood was flowing from my nose, creating a dotted trail on the floor.
When Seongjin finally arrived at the office after going through so much trouble, what he found was a completely unexpected person.
‘… Seo Yi-seo?’
That person, dressed in a fancy priest’s uniform and with flowing black hair, was definitely that suspicious saint.
However, Seongjin knew right away that it was not actually Seo Yi-seo herself. First of all, the presence itself was completely different from before.
Something like scales appears and disappears on the cruelly distorted face, and the eyes that shine brightly with gold are filled with extreme murder.
[Hey! I never thought there would be two monsters like that!]
The demon lord was scared and shrunk into his head.
-I don’t know who he is, but he is a great powerhouse. It can’t even be compared to Balthazar.
Director Bruno evaluated it that way. It was clear that even by the standards of Seongjin in his prime, he was a powerhouse beyond the standard, with no gaps in sight.
But more than its strength, what Seongjin really noticed was something else.
‘… ‘Isn’t that like a gentleman?’
Seonghwang, who was in a tense confrontation with Seo Yi-seo, seemed to have an extremely cold face on the outside.
But Seongjin knew. That guy is really pissed off right now.
“Well, will you stop now?”
Seongjin, possessed by a strong premonition that he should not be left as is, mustered his last remaining strength to intervene between them.
“In that case, it would be better to call the guards, or stay away and wait for the situation to end!”
While he was scolding Seongjin and pouring divine power on his head, Seonghwang’s anger cooled down quickly and he regained his usual composure.
Seongjin, who was finally relieved to see those calm eyes as usual, let out a hearty laugh without even realizing it.
“Haha, as you know very well, I can’t stand being curious.”
Well, thanks to that, I ended up hitting my forehead and falling to the floor.
Let’s just say it was a noble sacrifice for the peace of Delcross.
[…] Are you saying you dare turn a blind eye to this body right now?]
When Seo Yi-seo, or rather something on Seo Yi-seo’s body, approached them and growled, Seong-hwang explained to Seong-jin with a slightly annoyed look on his face.
“The laws of the normal world are very unique, and sometimes things happen that cannot be understood through the logic of force alone. “The most important law among them is [condition].”
condition?
“For example, a door that never opens without certain conditions.”
Ah, Seongjin understood quickly.
If you think about it, the normal world was like a game. If it were a law that governed such a world, it wouldn’t be strange to say that it felt like some kind of coded program.
“So, even with such a strong divinity by its side, the soul of the spherical world is preserved without fading, and the body of the syllabic world can contain it entirely.”
After saying that, Seonghwang percussed. He lightly snapped his fingers.
[…] … !?]
For a moment, a light of great astonishment appeared in the saintess’s eyes.
[What is this? What is this! What on earth did you do to me?]
Wow?
The saint seemed to be very surprised by something and ran wild in the office for a while.
From shaking his head wildly, to waving his hands in the air, to jumping around all over the place. Just looking at her made her crazy.
Meanwhile, Seonghwang briefly explained the situation to Seongjin.
So, the person who looks like a fake saint is actually Cadmus, the first saint of the Holy Emperor family.
They say he’s a demigod, but he’s a disgusting guy who survived for 700 years as a spirit? He was said to have possessed the saint through the Holy Emperor’s coffin ritual, and was attacking her for no reason and losing his temper.
‘Wow, I’m still a famous ancestor, but isn’t the evaluation too harsh?’
While I was thinking that, Seonghwang spoke to Seongjin with a solemn expression.
“By the way, Mores. Didn’t my sister tell me not to get into trouble? You must never do something so dangerous again. Did you understand?”
Seongjin then protested with a feeling of injustice.
“hmm? But father. “I didn’t cause an accident today, I came here to prevent it.”
“… … .”
“It’s true.”
Seonghwang stared at Seongjin in silence for a moment. The strange silver glow of yesteryear passes through his eyes.
Seongjin was always curious whenever he did that.
What on earth are you seeing with those eyes? Could that be the Oracle’s special eye?
“… okay.”
Finally, Seonghwang gave a short answer and sighed softly as if he didn’t like something.
And then. His hand comes up and lightly pats the top of Seongjin’s head.
“I see. Good job.”
Pat pat.
“hmm… … .”
Seongjin was caught by a strange feeling.
What can I say? I feel proud, but I also feel embarrassed. Wow, it feels really itchy.
As they were doing so, the ancestor Cadmus, who had finally calmed down, came towards them with an ugly face.
[How did you trap me in this body? By what means?]
Then, a faint hint of arsenic appeared on Seonghwang’s face.
“You’ve been trapped in that small coffin for 700 years, but you’re still so ignorant of the laws of the normal world. Well, if he had known that, he wouldn’t have entered that body so easily.”
[what?]
Crash. Cadmus gritted his teeth fiercely.
[I will destroy this artificial body once and for all! Do you think I can’t do it?]
“It would be a good idea to be more careful about that decision. “Without that saint’s body, do you think you would ever be able to crawl out of the church basement again?”
[…] … .]
“Is there any other soul other than the humans of the normal world who can survive without losing your soul? “You couldn’t possibly have thought that I would provide someone else’s body, even though I clearly knew that my soul would be destroyed, right?”
Then Cadmus, who had been staring at Seonghwang for a while, asked:
[Then what is the point of taking me out of there like this? As it is, this body cannot demonstrate its full power.]
“Of course, I don’t plan on releasing you.”
[Then why on earth!]
“But liberating you would also be possible for that body’s original owner.”
[…] … !]
“So you’ll have to try to coax that tricky soul.”
Then Cadmus, who stood blankly for a moment, eventually smiled with a helpless expression on his face.
[For that to happen, I have no choice but to protect this woman from the puppet master. And she said, “This woman will continue to stick by your daughter.”
“… … .”
[…] Have you seen such a clever thing?]
Seonghwang had no response to his sharp criticism. Instead, Seongjin, feeling sarcastic for no reason, raised his hand towards him.
“Hey, wait a minute, ancestor?”
[Don’t you dare call me your ancestor, you bastard!]
“Hmm, then Mr. Cadmus?”
[…] What?]
His expression became more sinister, but Seongjin did not even blink.
Seongjin said, looking around the messed up office with a slightly exaggerated gesture.
“You almost destroyed the main palace, but you should at least clean up what you did, right?”
[…] … .]
“ruler! Please, like our great ancestors, show us that you take responsibility for what you have done. yes?”
Cadmus was silent at that.
Soon, the brilliant golden light disappears from the eyes, and the dark brown eyes begin to twinkle with a dull light, as if waking up from sleep.
what? Did he really run away?
“… “Huh?”
Seo Yi-seo, who was blinking for a moment, unable to understand the situation, suddenly noticed Seong-jin and Seong-hwang and her eyes widened.
Then, he started making a fuss and started screaming.
“No, what on earth is going on! Why are Dark 1 and Dark 2 gathered in one place?”
… Why does this woman seem more insane when she’s sane?
So, that afternoon, Seo Yi-seo was inaugurated as a saint and held her first official event.
The idea was to encourage the occupants of the main palace and clean the main palace with them all day long.
“Why me?”
