233. Defensive battle (6)
[Gap] is a type of distortion created when space is forced into space.
So, when you go inside the gap, you can see the randomly interlaced and curved sections of the world spread out in all directions like broken stained glass.
Each of these sections becomes an intersection between the gap and the world.
So what happens if we look at that intersection from outside the gap?
If it were possible to accurately grasp the singularity that interfered with space from the outside, it would not be impossible to glimpse the gap beyond a cross-section of the world.
Like right now.
[How long has it been since Seonghwang’s father has been away, and now he’s even going so far as to look for gaps on his own? I was so shocked that I thought I was going to lose my mind!]
The blue bead that was bouncing around in front of Seongjin’s eyes spoke as if he was blaming him.
huh? But isn’t your soul already gone?
[Dad, there is a reason why His Majesty was so worried. How long do we have to follow you around? You need to get your night’s pay from now on.]
The pink orb sitting quietly on my shoulder gently scolded me.
Isn’t it time for you to respect your elders in a way that befits your age?
And Seongjin thought blankly.
‘But who are you? Why are you following me? Do you know me?’
Then the blue bead bursts into laughter and vibrates slightly.
[Mores does that all the time! No matter how much I tell you, you leave only what you need and forget everything on your own, right? How many times has this happened?]
The pink orb also let out a small sigh and moved as if it were tapping its shoulder.
[Mores may be selecting things in his own way so as not to offend cause and effect. Let’s stop talking nonsense and go see your Majesty. That’s what you came here for, right?]
‘… … .’
Seongjin felt the doubt and was convinced at the same time.
okay. It’s as they say.
As if repulsing the sense of déjà vu that something like this had happened at some point, the thought of what can be done about it raises its head.
In this way, Seongjin began to fly in the night sky with the two beads in an awkward state.
[Now we’re there! Mores.]
[It’s right here! Mores.]
The two small beads guided him to a place with a small window showing a dim view.
It is a diamond-shaped thing floating in the air without a wall or window frame to support it. Perhaps, rather than a window, it can be called a small hole in the world.
When he looked there as if fascinated, a small space that Seongjin had seen before was revealed to his field of vision.
‘… gap.’
[That’s right, it’s a niche that Seonghwang’s father left in the imperial palace.]
[Dad, His Majesty was there all day today.]
[I like it when Seonghwang’s dad is in trouble, but at this point, we’re starting to get worried too.]
[Dad, I like it when His Majesty is in trouble, but I don’t want it to be because of other people.]
Oh, that’s right. It did.
Until now, Seongjin had been subconsciously looking for Seonghwang’s whereabouts.
Didn’t a lot happen today?
While I was controlling the shaved ice, my soul seemed to be escaping, strange thoughts were clinging to me, and my body, which had been overworked all day, had reached a point where I could never say it was okay.
This is a repeat of a situation where I would normally have looked into it several times, but strangely, there has been no news from that person.
I’m worried that something might have happened.
[It’s only been a day since Seonghwang’s father opened his eyes, Mores.]
[If you’re going to find your Majesty like that, why did you leave the imperial capital?]
Make a lot of noise, you devils!
Can you even imagine the weight of what has been placed in my hands?
I’m not doing this for nothing. If you keep getting on my nerves, as soon as I return to the ecliptic, I will destroy the entire chess board!
[Wow! Mores is too much! Mores idiot!]
While the two beads were shouting together and running wild, Seongjin focused all his attention on the sight seen through the gap through the window.
I thought the view would soon change, but before I knew it, a vast volcanic area covered in lava spread out before my eyes.
And Seongjin was able to find the person he was looking for there.
‘father!’
The Holy Emperor, holding a white-light Auror blade, was emitting a white light that was clearly distinguishable even in the thick volcanic ash.
Seongjin, who saw the familiar robes and golden crown, smiled and focused on him. Then, the scenery is pulled in as if a flower was being pulled, and the sight of the emperor becomes even closer.
– This is nonsense!
At that moment, Seonghwang was in the middle of a confrontation with someone.
The opponent was a man wearing fancy armor that seemed unlikely to exist in reality and wielding a greatsword with a strange center of gravity.
He doesn’t seem to have much expertise in swordsmanship, and is swinging his weapon loudly in a strange form with unnecessary movements.
-Mr. How is that a boss mob? Even though it’s a hidden quest, what’s the point if the level of difficulty is this high?
The man shouted at Seonghwang.
Although he couldn’t actually hear the voice, Seongjin was somehow able to understand the entire conversation between them.
Fortunately, thoughts do not hit your head at the same time without any chronological order, like in the gap. It seems that the only time the sense of time becomes tangled is when there is a gap.
-shit! Does this make sense? I am ranked 5th in the entire Pangea Chronicle server ranking!
As the man struggled and sweated, Seonghwang looked at him and nodded.
-If you do that, there is nothing to feel unfair about. Those who claim to be in a higher state than you have all lost their lives to me.
-What? Is it even data accumulation? Shit! How do you catch something like this!?
And then there was the neat sword strike.
-Ugh!
The man died without any resistance and screamed.
At that moment, the volcanic area suddenly turns gray, and a large window appears above the fallen man’s head.

〚GAME OVER〛
The place where Seonghwang stands began to change.
The volcanic area receded, and the hundreds and thousands of spaces he must have passed through so far were pushed back, like turning the pages of a book.
The sight of the world of images, images, and real images all coming together and mixing together was majestic at first glance.
Among them, especially in the normal worlds, without exception, the following characters come to mind.

Seongjin suddenly felt heartbroken.
What is all that?
All of those things so far?
-… … !
Seonghwang was startled and turned his head, wondering how he had noticed Seongjin’s gaze.
When his eyes met directly with him, Seonghwang smiled, looking a little embarrassed, but at the same time clearly happy. For some reason, it felt like he was more expressive than usual.
-What are you doing? Go back quickly!
He waved his hand in silence and turned his head back to face the front.
Just like that, one world was far away, and another world was coming closer to his nose.
What opened the entrance this time was a black hell covered in fog.
As a gigantic monster with a vague shape slowly raises its head from the sea of fog, the Holy Emperor quietly waits for it, aiming his silver thorn as always.
[They came here at the same time, but since they are under the rule of the prosperous father, they have no choice but to follow his lead.]
[After going back and forth with Delcross for a long time, His Majesty Dad learned how to properly use the distortion of time.]
As the kids said, Seonghwang looked very tired, but he never felt like he was going to lose.
All of these things are properly controlled under his rules forever.
-Do whatever you want to do. If you wish to correct the absurdity, it will be done.
Suddenly, something I heard from Seonghwang not long ago comes to mind.
And now Seongjin wanted to answer him like this.
‘Do whatever you want to do. If you wish to protect it somehow, everything will be done that way.’
and.
‘No matter who they are, I will make sure that those who disturbed Delcross pay the price.’
Seongjin is different from the kids.
I didn’t want Seonghwang’s father to be in trouble, I was very worried about him, and I also hated the guy who made him do that.
Wow.
A strong thought wave suddenly arose from Seongjin, and the small beads were startled and began to spin around him.
[He’s really angry again! Look at the window shaking!]
[Then tear open the gap and enter. Tell them to wake up quickly!]
Anyway, what kind of bastard are you? How long are you going to harass people? Are you going to slowly kill his father?
Do it in moderation. If you don’t, I’ll grind it all up and drink it for you later, without leaving even a single bone meal behind!
[Wow! Sir Sharon!]
[wow! Brother Masain!]
Noisy! Don’t disturb me!
First, I have to go find who that guy is and see for myself with my own eyes… … !
As he was grinding his teeth, someone suddenly shook Seongjin violently.
“…under.”
wait. Once I find out who did it, I… … .
“Lowering.”
Shoot!
At that moment, I felt the scenes of the gaps in my mind slipping away like the ebb and flow. In addition, emotions and memories become blurred, and an urgent sense of crisis arises, as if everything is lost at once.
No, wait, wait!
“Lowering!”
omg.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the knight’s face looking down at him with concern.
“…Lord Martha?”
“Yes, sir. It is me. Why are you sweating so much?”
“……?”
… Uh, well?
It feels like I was dreaming something.
Seongjin slowly let out the breath he had been holding and looked around.
The place where he lay was a dark and shabby private house. Instead of a candle, there was a torch hanging near the entrance.
Strong.
The moment I looked at the torch, a slight pain arose in my eyes. As the devil said, his eyes didn’t seem to be in very good condition.
“Please lie down a little longer, sir. I’m still receiving treatment. Hehe.”
Right next to him, Sir Sharon is holding Seongjin’s hand and pouring out divine power. Looking at those dark eyes, it’s the usual Sir Sharon.
Somehow, I felt lighter than before.
“What about the Canyon Fortress?”
Seongjin slowly got up and asked.
Well, the fact that Masain and the rest of the party are here means that things have become more relaxed enough to vacate the canyon fortress.
“It’s safe. Maybe it’s because of the Glature Trolls placed in front of the ice wall, but they couldn’t attack easily. It seems like the Glature Trolls thought they could move again at any time.”
Oh, that’s right. Just in case, I lined up shaved ice numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5 at the entrance to the fortress.
The shaved ice seemed to have done its job well.
“We went out of the fortress and had a small skirmish with the Lycanslopes, but the Glacher Trolls didn’t come back.”
“okay?”
“Yes. Soon after, reinforcements arrived. Sir Sebastian sent quite a number of troops with the Wolf Knights. So I switched with them in the afternoon and came here.”
Seongjin nodded.
“But where is this place?”
“It’s a private house near the front lines. The owner of the house has evacuated to another place. Currently, all the troops in the territory are confronting the Lycan Slopes who came over the ice wall.”
For a moment, Seongjin was at a loss for words and stared at Masain.
Instead of evacuating the prince, who was unconscious and unable to fight, to the rear, he stayed at the front line?
Masain, who realized the meaning of that gaze, answered awkwardly.
“Ah, I was waiting because I thought he would want to move Vince as soon as he woke up. Everyone in the group is ready to go to the front line now.”
“…….”
“The situation on the front is not very optimistic. We will probably need your help.”
Did you think I would be so excited that you were preparing to go to the front line a long time ago?
Seongjin felt his conscience pricking his lungs sharply.
Sir Masain. I really feel sorry for you.
As he left the house following his guidance, an unexpected sight awaited Seongjin.
“…this?”
After telling them to follow him as a group, he fell asleep, but the shaved ice seemed to have followed Seongjin on their own. All four cars were standing tall and waiting near a private house.
But aren’t all the shaved ices wearing the Sigismund family insignia like a cloak?
Because the shaved ice was so huge, no matter how big the badge was, it looked like a small cape that barely covered the back.
It looked like knights lined up in a row, so it had a pretty grandeur to it.
Additionally, there is black paint smeared on their chests.
Two crossed swords and the sun surrounding them.
Although it was a little crooked and crude, it was undoubtedly the symbol of the main god and a symbol of Delcross.
“Haha, what do you think of my work, sir?”
Sir Valerie, who had just finished drawing a pattern on the chest of Shaved Ice No. 7, smiled cheerfully and said. He hung a rope around the necks of the shaved ice and used pendulum movements to draw patterns.
“Because appearances are quite important in all things.”
As he said, the soldiers’ faces looking up at the shaved ice showed signs of anxiety.
“Now they will be accepted as the Lord’s soldiers in name and reality.”
As Masain said that, his face also became relaxed. He was always disgusted by anything that was wrong, but that one symbol seemed to give him some peace of mind.
Seongjin reflected greatly.
‘I can’t believe I emphasized the importance of propaganda and fabrication to Sisley, and then missed this important detail.’
In my rush to help the ice base, I forgot an important lesson.
‘If you want to cheat, you have to fool your allies first!’
[…] You don’t really think that’s a lesson, do you?]
The Demon King, who had kept his mouth shut until then, eventually couldn’t hold back and attacked Seongjin.
